Miss Heber is fighting her way out of the Lostbelt!

Perhaps due to the change in environment, the founder of Hokushin Ittoryu, Chiba Shusaku Narimasa, was still alive at this time, but he handed over the dojo to his eldest son, Chiba Shigetaro.

Although Chiba Shusaku himself is limited by physical factors and can no longer use real swords in duels for a long time, his understanding of the secret sword is becoming increasingly profound.

This is also a characteristic of the elderly swordsmen of the Eastern Kingdom - even if they are too old to hold the sword anymore, as long as they are still alive, they can use the secret sword with an inch of iron.

In addition to Chiba Shusaku himself, his younger brother Chiba Sadakichi also opened a dojo in Edo.

Including the eldest son Shigetaro who is currently in charge of the dojo, the Chiba family has three swordsmen.

Looking at the entire Beichen Ittoryu, there are even more swordsmen.

When Heber walked through the paper sliding door of the Genbukan, the disciples who were training in the dojo were indifferent. In the middle of the dojo, a sturdy middle-aged man was looking down at Heber with a burning gaze.

Needless to say, Heber's intentions have already been known to Chiba Shigetaro.

"Give me my sword." Chiba Shigetaro handed the wooden training sword in his hand to the disciple who came up.

The disciple hurried back with the wooden sword and replaced it with the wooden sword that Shigetaro usually used.

But who knew that Juutarou just glanced at it and said: "Switch to the real sword."

The disciple's shoulders trembled with fear, and he dared not say anything. He took out Shigetaro's sword.

Heber picked up a wooden sword from the side.

Real sword versus wooden sword, no matter how you look at it, the former has the advantage, but the one with a serious expression as if facing a great enemy is still Shigetaro himself.

He raised his sword above his head and adopted the Beichen Itori style.

"Hello, Tamamonomae, Hokushin Ittoryu, Chiba Shigetaro."

"Hello, I'm Chiba Shigetaro of Hokushin Ittoryu, also known as Tamamonomae."

As the words fell, the katana in Shigetaro's hand whistled, and the brilliance of the secret sword bloomed.

[Secret Sword Dream Cut]

[Nature: Blade (representing the principles of fighting, resistance, and domination)]

【Thunderbolt strikes suddenly, and illusions are shattered.】

[The holder of this secret sword will cause greater damage to the target's hand after hitting! When this secret sword causes damage, it will cause an equal amount of damage to the enemy's armor! ]

Beichen Ittoryu is known as the "stealing hand swordsmanship" because most of its swordsmanship is aimed at the hands, and if you are not careful, your palms will be chopped off.

Shigeta (two!) 镹凌 (five) 叄八棋1氵峮郎 exhaled and spoke, and the sword slashed towards Heber's wrist.

The secret sword missed without a doubt.

Shigetaro's face was as gloomy as water. He exerted force with his arms, and the sword blade that was about to touch the ground turned over, with the tip of the sword pointing upwards at Heber's eyebrows, chest and abdomen.

"Great!" Hebe nodded.

The fox demon pressed its feet on the ground, always keeping a distance from Shigetaro, making the stabbing sword lose its momentum.

"One round!" A vigorous and powerful voice came from the dojo.

The disciples turned around and saw that Chiba Shusaku, supported by his second son Chiba Eijiro, had already stood in the middle of the field.

That declaration came from Chiba Shusaku's chest.

The old man watched the sword fight between Juutarou and Heber with a burning gaze, while Eijiro announced the rounds for him.

Juutarou, worthy of being the master of the dojo, displayed the Hokushin Itto-ryu technique. The wing performed flawlessly, yet the old man began to shake his head.

"Lost."

Before he could finish his words, Heber stepped on the ground and actually rushed into Shigetaro's sword circle.

Raise the wooden sword high and chop it down from the head!

"Ah?!" Shigetaro was hit on the wrist by a sword and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

His arms, which had been through thousands of battles, were trembling with pain, so much so that he was unable to hold the hilt of the sword.

The sword fell to the ground.

"Is this the sword from the Hokushin Ittoryu collection?" Heber picked up the katana. "It's a good sword, but it's not what I'm looking for."

She turned the sword around and handed the wooden sword and katana back to Shigetaro. When she turned to leave, she saw Chiba Shusaku blocking her way.

Heber raised his brow slightly.

Could it be that this old swordsman is also excited about the prey and wants to fight with me?

"No, no, no." Chiba Shusaku shook his head. "Juutarou's swordsmanship is worthy of the master of the dojo. Moreover, I am old and weak. I no longer have the ability to fight you with a real sword..."

He raised his head, and a look of nervousness appeared on his face, which was full of old age, like a child waiting for praise from an adult.

"I just want to ask... How about Beichen Yidaoliu?"

"Not bad," Hebe replied.

"What's not damaged?" Chiba Shusaku asked.

"He's not bad in any way," Heber said. "He's considered outstanding in the dojo's swordsmanship."

This is the truth.

Swordsmanship is not necessarily aimed at killing the target, it can also be used as a way to cultivate one's character.

Moreover, the rules of Hokushin Ittoryu are clear and the techniques are simple, which is conducive to teaching and inheritance. Just as Kurama Eight-Ryu is the ancestor of later swordsmanship, Hokushin Ittoryu can also become the foundation of future swordsmanship.

Chiba Shusaku looked at Heber's back as he walked out of the dojo with an obsessed look on his face.

"That's great, that's great!" His eyes gradually filled with tears and he smiled with satisfaction.

Rong Jilang came over, his face full of confusion: "Father, brother, why are you doing this?"

"Brother, did you see Tamamonomae's final strike clearly?" Shigetaro shook his head. "That was our Hokushin Ittoryu's secret sword, Qi-yi-er [〤sa?n Zero④ Research Qi Shan Shi]."

"During the duel, it seemed like I had the upper hand, but in reality, she was completely leading me, forcing me to unleash all the sword techniques of Beichen Yidaoliu... I felt like I was facing Quan Sheng's father. No, even more terrifying than Quan Sheng's father."

Shigetaro stared at the sword in his arms in a trance: "I have won so many times, but I have never felt happy in defeat."

"Idiot!" Chiba Shusaku wiped his face and kicked Shigetarou on the knee. "What are you still standing there for? Come and chase him with me!"

......

After settling their disciples, Onozaemon and Matsushita Saburo finally arrived at Genbukan.

They just happened to see Heber walk out of the dojo and then walk in another direction.

"Is this a win or a loss?" The two looked at each other, and then saw Shigetarou and Chiba Shusaku walking towards them.

"Did you see a girl with flaxen hair and green eyes?" Shigetarou gestured. "She just walked out of our dojo."

"I saw it," Ōnozaemon replied. "It went northwest."

"To the northwest, that's the Shinto Munen-ryu training ground." Chiba Shusaku patted Shigetaro's shoulder, "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" Matsushita Saburo said, "Excuse me, but did the 'Demon Fox' win?"

Onozaemon was shocked. He didn't expect Matsushita Saburo to ask so directly.

This person is really not afraid of offending others.

But Chiba Shusaku laughed heartily: "Needless to say? After all, he lost, and lost miserably!"

There was no trace of unhappiness on the old swordsman's face, and Shigetarou, the person involved, just smiled innocently.

How could a true swordsman be angry about this? On the contrary, they couldn't wait to be happy!

The old swordsman felt honored at the thought of having the opportunity to witness the emergence of a young swordsman.

......

On that day, Heber challenged seven major schools and defeated nine swordsmen.

The name of the demon fox shook Kyoto.

ps: There is another chapter, a little later

Eastern Kingdom Volume 94: The Remnants of the War, the Aftermath of Fate, and the Great Appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox (Part )

Heber walked out of the gate of the Academy.

This is the dojo where the Kagami-shin-myōke-ryū school of thought is taught.

As of now, the three most famous and largest schools in Kyoto - Shinto Munen-ryu, Hokushin Ittoryu and Kagami Shin Akechi-ryu - all acknowledge the fact that they have been defeated.

However, her main quest still has progress of 0.

Honestly, this was strange. Heber had never encountered this situation before.

During the Heian period, when she worked towards this goal, she would get some positive and negative feedback, but this time, there was no movement on the progress bar.

"Am I working in the wrong direction?" Heber thought calmly, "No, I'm right. I'm definitely on the path of 'finding the sword of myself'..."

She looked up at the sky and did not immediately head to her next destination.

The girl with long flaxen hair slowed down her pace and walked slowly along the artificial river in the city.

The clogs made crisp tapping sounds on the stone pavement, the water gurgled, and Heber's thoughts gradually calmed down.

She stood by the bridge, watching the people coming and going.

Heber began to think back on what he had done since arriving at the end of the shogunate.

From the very beginning, they ran into the Shinsengumi, and the two sides started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement.

Soon the Shinsengumi was defeated by her power, and Kondo Isami himself was mentally damaged. He went from being the director of the Shinsengumi to a doorman who guarded her door... No matter how you look at it, the style of painting seems a little wrong.

If it were Arthur, Morgan, Ozymandias or Minamoto no Raikou himself, this development would be more suitable.

"It is the authoritarian path that has left an impact on me..." Heber rubbed his brows.

The Heian period was a struggle between Scar Father and Canlang. She participated in it and even exchanged her fate with Miss Along to be hit by the Tian Numa Spear, which was bound to leave the influence of the Blade Code on her body.

It manifests itself around us as "dispute."

——Affected by this, everything around will be uncontrollably involved in opposition and conflict, violent bloodshed will occur more frequently, quarrels will become louder, and even animals will become more brutal. The sparks of contradiction are burning secretly, waiting for the moment to explode.

The Shinsengumi and even these swordsmen were caught up in the "dispute" and were affected, causing them to instinctively want to cause trouble for Heber.

Until now, the influence of this private contact still lingers on her.

Hebe herself was indeed unaffected, but even if she did nothing, the impact of the dispute would lead to troubles.

She was even passively dragged into the storm of overthrowing the shogunate and opposing the shogunate.

"Is this the world as seen by the ruling class?" Heber stood on the bridge, gently patting the peeling wooden railing.

Just the residual effects of the conflict can lead to a series of events. So when Scar Father and Cripple Wolf really fight, what kind of antagonistic scene will the whole world present?

Heber was silent for a moment, looking at his palms.

The lines on the palm are like rivers, and there is a dull pain. I don’t know if it is because time has been too tight or the lines are too deeply engraved.

She had clearly felt before that her emotions were somewhat out of control and her personality was a little erratic.

This is not an illusion.

This is Miss Aaron's character.

Hebe's third tail exchanged fates, and even from the Heian period to the end of the shogunate, this influence still remained.

"So Miss A-Long has always been so happy." Heber smiled. "I really hope she will continue to be so happy in the future."

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

The character of "Miss Aaron" was divided out by Heber and then reshaped in his mind.

The third "Swordsman" was born.

The school represented by Miss A Long is Beichen Ittoryu.

Heber turned around and slowly walked across the crowded bridge.

The swordsmen in the distance looked at each other in confusion. They could feel what changes had taken place in Heber, but they could not describe it clearly.

If the original Hebe gave them a strong sense of attraction, like an impending storm.

At this moment, the storm suddenly "came alive" and possessed a certain indifferent and lofty perspective.

For a moment, all the swordsmen lost their sense of Heber.
