Seeing that Long Yan was not in a hurry to attack, the believer Jilong, who was twisting his neck and moving his body, put away the contempt in his words and just laughed softly in a slightly playful tone.

“I’ve asked someone to check on you, so I won’t tell you about your secret actions.

Although I'm not sure how your swordsmanship has improved to this level in such a short time, I do know this.

Your special skill is sword drawing, right?

A super-fast sword drawing that focuses on killing with one strike.

Tsk tsk tsk...

Honestly speaking, being able to apply the sword-drawing technique in actual combat at your age shows that you are indeed a rare genius in the world.

But...

Without the scabbard, you can no longer use the sword drawing technique."

The use of the sword-drawing technique originally originated from a sneak attack-style one-hit kill, and the Flying Sword Style only improved and enhanced it on this basis, thereby enhancing the actual effect of the sword-drawing technique.

Not to mention that the scabbard is to the sword-drawing technique what the barrel of a gun is to the bullet. Without the scabbard to store power, Long Yan's sword-drawing technique is equivalent to having bullets but no pistol, and it will be completely useless.

Of course, Long Yan can also use his palm as a scabbard like when he was sparring with Busujima Saeko, but...

After taking a calm glance at the blade of the reverse-blade knife and swallowing his saliva subconsciously, Long Yan suppressed the idea.

Although the reverse-blade knife has a reverse blade, it is not edgeless. He does not want to say goodbye to his fifth girl for the rest of his life.

Turning his gaze back to Shanxin Jilong, Long Yan did not respond directly to his words. Instead, he slowly pulled back his right hand holding the knife, pointing the tip of the sword at Shanxin Jilong. At this moment, he seemed to be in the posture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. Then he spoke softly with a calm face.

"If you think I only know swordplay, you are totally wrong."

"My style: Yinghuo guards the heart!"

There was no need to waste too much time talking to Shanxin Yoshiryu. Since the sword-drawing technique could not be used, he would use the strongest thrusting technique other than the sword-drawing technique as a means of attack.

This time, Long Yan did not use [Earth Dragon Flash] as the starting point.

If the opponent is prepared, the blinding method like [Earth Dragon Flash], which is similar to throwing sand, can only have a very limited effect, so he just stabs cleanly in order to defeat the enemy with speed.

The sharp sword edge seemed to turn into a meteor across the sky at this moment, and Long Yan's thrust immediately rushed towards Shanxin Jilong with lightning speed.

This was the sword skill he used to instantly kill Wakato Hayashi of the Uezonokai.

Caught off guard, even Lin, whose fighting skill was as high as level 42, had to suffer the consequences of this sword skill.

It’s a pity that Shanxin Jilong is not Lin, and the level 52 street fight is not comparable to the level 42 assassination.

When Long Yan's blade was about to hit him, Shanxin Jilong steadily blocked his arms in front of his chest, and at a very clever angle, he blocked Long Yan's sword blade that turned into a meteor.

With the sound of metal clashing, the reverse-edged sword that was swung high suddenly opened Long Yan's door wide.

A ferocious smile instantly appeared on Shanxin Jilong's face. Now he could cut Long Yan's mid lane at any time!

What surprised Shanxin Jilong was that after the sword was deflected and the door in his body was wide open, there was not a trace of panic in Long Yan's eyes, as if all this had been expected by him.

Long Yan's calmness immediately made Shanxin Jilong cautious. He did not rush to attack, but instead threw a tentative jab.

However, just as Shanxin Jilong was about to punch, Long Yan, whose sword was deflected, used inertia to somersault in the air like a kite!

As Long Yan's body flipped into the air, the blade that had been swung away turned into an upward strike at this moment, directly hitting Shanxin Jilong's vital point!

"Breath of Water·Two Types·Water Wheel!"

The sudden change in sword skills did cause Shanxin Jilong's expression to change slightly.

He had never seen this kind of sword skill before. He was so shocked that he immediately retracted the jab he was about to throw, and instead sank his legs, crossed his hands, and protected his crotch tightly.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing made Shanxin Jilong's heart tighten. He cursed Long Yan for not following martial ethics and immediately prepared to punch back.

However, knowing that Shanxin Jilong's fighting skills are as high as level 52, how could Long Yan give him the opportunity to display his strength?

"Water Breathing, Form Three, Flowing Dance!"

The moment Long Yan landed after his somersault, he took small steps and began to walk around the believer Jilong in a rather unsteady way.

I don’t know if it was Shanxin Jilong’s illusion, but at this moment, he seemed to feel that there were five Long Yans circling around him.

The pace that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow made him frown.

What made him even more headache was that while Long Yan was moving around, he would occasionally launch a series of attacks on him.

Although the blow that came from nowhere was not very powerful, it would not be a good experience if he was hit by it with his physical body.

This made him dare not relax at all.

Water Breathing.

This is one of the breathing methods that was derived from the ancestor's breathing, the Breathing of the Sun, just like the Breathing of Fire of the Purgatory family.

However, unlike the Breathing of Fire, which can only be practiced by those who are enthusiastic, cheerful, and have a heart as fiery as fire, the Breathing of Water is more suitable for those who have no distracting thoughts, are calm and steady, and have a peaceful and calm heart.

Of course, no matter which breathing style of sword, Long Yan had never practiced it. What he learned from Rengoku Momojuro was just the most basic breathing method. It was only because he empathized with the bamboo sword that Rengoku Momojuro used for daily practice that he quickly mastered the key points of the [Full Concentration Breathing Method].

The reason why Long Yan was able to use the Water Breathing Sword Form, which he had never practiced before, was entirely due to his system!

.........cut.........

PS. I can’t help it. The Yakuza theme is a bit on the edge. It’s impossible to write about black things at all. Only writing about the Japanese Yakuza can barely touch the edge. I’m a bit dizzy from the recent adjustments to the outline…

Chapter 189: Flame and Water Dual Type

Each of Long Yan's martial arts skills starts at level 1, and a related skill will be unlocked every 5 levels.

Such as the [Sword Drawing Technique] of the Hiten Yuken Ryu, the [Two Flashes] of my Ryu, and the [Lower Section of the Hilt·Knee Strike] of the Kamiya Katsushim Ryu. These are the sword skills that Long Yan unlocked when his martial arts skills reached level 6.

So, what skill will be unlocked at level 6 of [Full Concentration Breathing Method]?

In fact, after realizing the [Full Concentration Breathing Method] and unlocking the level 1 skill [Full Concentration Breathing], Long Yan has been wondering whether this martial arts skill will unlock a new skill every 5 levels like other martial arts skills.

After all, breathing techniques, no matter how advanced they are, are nothing more than “Full Concentration Breathing”, “Full Concentration Breathing·Constant”, and “Transparent World”.

Could it be possible to unlock Ripple Sprint or Observation Haki?

However, when he practiced the breathing method relentlessly and raised it to level 6, he got the answer he wanted to know.

[Full Concentration Breathing Method] Unlock skill at level 6, [Water Breathing] Full set of sword type!

Although Water Breathing is one of the five basic breathing styles derived from Sun Breathing, due to its gentle nature, it is the easiest to practice compared to other breathing styles. However, after Long Yan came to this world, let alone practicing Water Breathing, he has not even met a swordsman who is good at Water Breathing.

However, to his surprise, when [Full Concentration Breathing Method] was upgraded to Level 6, it actually directly unlocked an entire basic style of sword forms for him, including Tomioka Giyu's original [Water Breathing·Eleventh Form·Nagi].

This surprise really made Long Yan smile with joy, and he even exclaimed "awesome".

He was even secretly guessing in his heart at that time, if the fighting skill [Full Concentration Breathing Method] could unlock a basic breathing style every 5 levels, then wouldn't he be able to directly achieve the achievement of mastering all five basic breathing styles at level 26?

Maybe even the Sun Breathing, which is the starting breathing method, can be unlocked in the future!

It’s just that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

After calming down and personally experiencing the sword-type strength of Water Breathing, Long Yan was finally able to suppress his restless heart.

Learning the sword style of a breathing style does not mean that you can become stronger directly. If that were the case, the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps would not be divided into multiple levels such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Sin, Ren, and Gui.

In the final analysis, he had only learned the sword form of Water Breathing. Before he mastered [Full Concentration Breathing·Constant Aim], he could not achieve a qualitative change.

However, it is not completely without benefits after unlocking the Breathing of Water.

What you need to know is that there are eleven sword forms of Water Breathing, from the simplest "Water Breathing·Form One·Water Surface Slash" to the most complex "Water Breathing·Form Ten·Life Flow", and even to the Eleventh Form created by Tomioka Giyuu.

Unlocking the sword form gave him more variations and options for his attacks, not to mention that after he upgraded [Full Concentration Breathing Method] to level 11, he also unlocked Breathing of Fire!

"Breath of Fire·Type II·Ascending Blazing Flame!"

The sword forms of the two breathing techniques of fire and water that he used easily stunned Shanxin Jilong. He had never thought that a person's swordsmanship could be as fierce as fire and as gentle as flowing water at the same time.

For a moment, even though Long Yan's strength did not improve substantially, he was able to suppress Shanxin Jilong with his various and ever-changing sword shapes.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing continued to echo in the small courtyard of the dojo. In just less than ten minutes, the two had already exchanged more than a hundred moves. The two ever-changing sword styles suppressed Shanxin Jilong, who could only rely on his quick reaction speed and the hardness of his steel arm guard to block. He was almost in a situation of nine defending and one attacking.

The extreme offense and defense continued to consume the physical strength of the two men, and fine sweat had already wet the backs of Long Yan and Shanxin Jilong.

However, whether it was Long Yan who was attacking frantically, or Shanxin Jilong who had almost given up attacking and concentrated on blocking Long Yan's attacks, both of them were actually thinking the same thing in their hearts, they were waiting for an opportunity.

If you defend for too long, you will lose it. This is an eternal truth, just like there has never been a single example of a barrier being able to last until the end without being broken.

Long Yan was waiting for Shanxin Jilong to make a mistake.

The same goes for Shanxin Jilong. Although Long Yan's attack method is weird, his speed and strength are still within the range that Shanxin Jilong can deal with.

Together with the Breathing of Water and Breathing of Fire, there are only twenty sword shape variations in total. For veterans with rich combat experience, it is not difficult to accumulate experience through continuous trial and error, and thus analyze the weak points in the sword shape.

Not to mention that Shanxin Jilong does not need to fully analyze all the moves of the two breathing techniques. Just by seeing through one of them, it will be enough for him to give Long Yan a fatal blow!

"It's now!"

"It's now!"

The stalemate between the two did not last too long, just a few minutes. When Long Yan used "Water Breathing·First Form·Water Surface Slash" again, Shanxin Yoshitsugu and Long Yan spotted each other's flaws at the same time and attacked each other's vital points!

Yoshitatsu Yoshitsugu, who had given up on defense, took advantage of the moment when he turned his body to dodge and pulled out a sharp wakizashi from his lower back, attacking Ryuhiko's heart directly.

And Long Yan's movements were not slow either. After the reverse-blade knife missed the target, he shook his wrist and slashed horizontally swiftly, like a flying swallow drawing a graceful arc in the air, and it actually slashed straight towards Shanxin Jilong's neck like a returning swallow!

However, in a flash, a look of joy involuntarily appeared on the face of Shanxin Jilong.

I won, and I can finally beat this brat!

Yes, Shanxin Jilong, who was extremely experienced in combat, made a quick judgment in his mind the moment both sides launched attacks at the same time.

Although it only happened in a millisecond, Long Yan's slash would be blocked by his raised left hand before it could hit his neck, and Long Yan would be pierced through the heart by his wakizashi without any room for maneuver!

A ferocious smile gradually spread across the face of the believer Jilong. He frantically accelerated his movements just to see Long Yan collapse to the ground and take his last breath.

.........cut.........

PS. It’s so pitiful. Although I know it’s not advisable to play the victim, it’s really so pitiful.

After announcing the day before yesterday that the series would end after the main storyline was written, yesterday's chapter subscriptions evaporated by one third, with 24 subscriptions plummeting to 300 in 200 hours, which directly made the already low subscriptions even worse...

But there is really no other way. I originally planned to finish the storyline of the Shanxin faction, and then continue to write about the Kurosaki faction after resolving the main crisis, and then connect with the international community, such as the winery, various film and television works, etc. It should be possible to see foreshadowing in the early stage, such as Han from Fast and Furious, Kudo Shinichi who has not yet become Conan, etc. There will probably be close to 800,000 words, or even one million words of content.

But unfortunately, Yakuza itself has some dark edges, and it has already involved the Japanese cabinet, so it would be very dangerous to write more in depth, and I don’t even know when the book will be discontinued. So there is no choice but to end it after finishing the main storyline.

Honestly speaking, when faced with this kind of situation, most authors would just stop writing, because continuing to write would be a torture, but I really don’t want to do that. I want to give a decent ending, which is why I’m gritting my teeth and adjusting the outline and insisting on finishing this book even though the subscriptions have been dropping.

I want to live up to my work and to live up to all of you who have accompanied me all the way to where I am today.

So even though I know that my subscriptions will continue to drop after I write this, I still want to say this.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Chapter 190 Legend

The sharp wakizashi flashed with a cold light, and the ferocious smile seemed like a demon from hell.

Shanxin Jilong's fatal blow almost ensured that Long Yan would be defeated.

However, will things really develop as the believer Jilong judged?

Although Long Yan has always believed that it is ridiculous and bloody that the protagonist always breaks through his own limits at the critical moment of life and death, it is undeniable that between life and death, human beings can always burst out amazing potential.

Especially when you have accumulated enough experience in the early stages and have plug-ins.

It should be noted that when Long Yan first met Purgatory Momojuro, Momojuro's [Breath of Fire] was only level 19.

Although Ryuhiko was not sure about when Momojuro mastered [Full Concentration Breathing·Always Aim], he thought it should not be far from his level 15.

After all, unlike some mysterious skills that require sudden enlightenment to improve, the [Full Concentration Breathing Method] requires a lot of practice, decent talent and perseverance, as well as the practical experience of constantly adjusting one's breathing in actual combat and maintaining the breathing rhythm at all times.

Although Momojuro had one-on-one tutoring from a famous teacher and was not lacking in talent and perseverance, he was born in a peacetime and lacked the tempering of life and death in actual combat.

Unlike Momojuro, Ryuhiko has much richer practical experience. No matter it was the battle with DOUBT or Kowloon, or the real life-and-death battle with Shishio in the empathy space, the "life and death test" he experienced was no weaker than those of the swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps era, and even worse.
