And this life has directly transformed into a world of cultivation?
Although it is true that this is the Type-Moon world, Ah Xue, who now possesses the mysterious power of the power of monsters, is indeed descending from the world of cultivation to the world of low-level martial arts, which is a real dimensionality reduction attack.
As a mysterious and almost extinct Japanese Warring States, is there really anyone who can be a match for the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin?
So Axue's premonition was not wrong.
According to the theory of inhibitory force, strong people of Axue's level will soon emerge like mushrooms after rain.
At this moment, Lind looked back at the previous plot developments.
There are not many masters hiding in Kyoto now. As long as you look carefully, you can find the candidate for the behind-the-scenes BOSS.
The only opponent Lind could find in Kyoto in his previous life was Nobunaga Kamiizumi's master, the swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden, who had retired from the sword world.
Tsukahara Bokuden is the only swordsman in the Warring States Period who has reached the realm of emptiness, and he has been a swordsman for at least ten years.
He was the first to propose the term "state of no space".
It was precisely because he was the first to reach this realm that later generations compiled the realm of "Sword Saint".
As everyone knows, even the Buddhist martial god Nagao Kagetora, even though she possessed the Dharma Realm, had never entered the realm of Sword Saint.
Even the mysterious killer Minamoto no Raikou from the Heian period was from the same school as Nagao Kagetora. He used the power of gods and Buddhas in his whole body and was a chosen one who possessed great divine power since birth.
The Sword Saint is someone like Tsukahara Bokuden, who has never been tainted by any mystery and is the pinnacle that only mortals in the Dharma-Ending Age can reach.
Facing this native mortal pinnacle, could Axue, the sword saint who possessed the magical power of ice and snow, be the opponent of this old sword saint? Even Linde, who was now on the sidelines, found it difficult to make a judgment.
Simply put, if Axue defeats the swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden, it would be considered as completing the main story of the game.
If we describe it according to Sekiro, Tsukahara Bokuden is equivalent to Ashina Isshin. Once he is killed, there should be no hidden boss.
You can't expect that after the fight, a peak Ashina Isshin will appear, right?
..................
..................
Kashima Shrine.
A white-haired old man was sitting in the shrine. The famous swordsman, Tsukahara Bokuden, was currently meditating in seclusion.
Ever since he attained enlightenment in the Divine Palace decades ago and entered the realm of emptiness, becoming a sword master, he has had no rivals in this world.
Reaching the pinnacle of martial arts is indeed an exciting and joyful event at first.
But as the days passed, Tsukahara Bokuden became quite bored.
Because no one can block his sword.
Even the most gifted geniuses had to kneel down humbly when they saw Tsukahara Bokuden and ask the old swordsman for some guidance on swordsmanship.
Then Tsukahara Bokuden suddenly realized something -
Looking around the world, he couldn't find any rivals.
The feeling of being invincible made Tsukahara Bokuden thinner and more tired day by day.
Now that he is in his seventies, he no longer has the sharp and aggressive spirit of his youth, nor the domineering attitude to challenge anyone.
At this moment, Tsukahara Bokuden looked more like an old man that could be seen everywhere on the street.
His frail appearance with white hair on the temples shocked outsiders. Could this really be the invincible Warring States swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden?
But today's Tsukahara Bokuden is different.
The Sword Master had been feeling his heart beating faster and faster lately, his temples constantly ringing.
The feeling of stepping onto the battlefield as a young man, with adrenaline surging, was a surprise that the old man had not felt in decades!
A strong man is gradually approaching Kyoto!
The rival he had been waiting for for decades had finally been born in this era and came to find Tsukahara Bokuden!!
"Musashi, it seems that the mighty swordsman you mentioned has arrived in Kyoto."
Tsukahara Bokuden raised his eyes and looked outside the door. His turbid gray eyes seemed dull and lifeless, but it made people's hearts skip a beat. They even felt as if they were being locked by the other party's aura.
"The Sword Saint Uesugi Kenshin is a renowned daimyo of the Warring States Period."
Miyamoto Musashi was holding a sword outside the door. She pressed her hat with her jade hand and spoke calmly.
"I once secretly observed this sword master from a distance in Echigo Province. Even though I was hundreds of meters away, he was able to notice my presence in the crowd in an instant."
Miyamoto Musashi felt a pang of fear whenever he thought of this incident.
"Uesugi Kenshin is a congenitally blind man, but he was able to capture me so accurately. At that moment, my heart stopped. I even saw the future. If I dared to stop for a moment, Uesugi Kenshin would have killed me completely with a single blow!!!"
This Tianyuan Flower had already been to Echigo Province, because the first opponent on her list was the Dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin.
But with just one glance, Miyamoto Musashi could completely confirm the gap between her and Uesugi Kenshin!
His title of Sword Saint is definitely not false!
There is absolutely no possibility that Miyamoto Musashi could defeat this Buddhist God of War!
Although this female warrior was already a powerful figure in her own time, now that she has come to the Warring States Period, she finds herself so weak!
So she had to settle for the next best thing and came to Kyoto to challenge the swordsman general Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
But what this Tianyuan Flower did not expect was that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was just a young man now and had no strength at all.
Miyamoto Musashi felt that there was no point in winning like this, so he decided not to challenge the swordsman general.
But Uesugi Kenshin was also a young man. How come there was such a huge gap between people even though they were all young men?
So Miyamoto Musashi once again had to settle for the second best and planned to challenge Kyoto's number one swordsman, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna.
However, Kamiizumi Nobunaga was not someone to be trifled with, so Miyamoto Musashi came to Tsukahara Bokuden, who was in seclusion, a few days ago, hoping that this famous old swordsman would teach him a few moves.
Tsukahara Bokuden was amazed by Miyamoto Musashi's talent in swordsmanship, but the old swordsman had no room to give any guidance on the Niten Ichiryu, the unique style created by this Tianyuan Flower.
So the two began to communicate about the sword master Kenshin Uesugi.
At first, Tsukahara Bokuden really didn't believe that there was such a young sword master in the world.
After all, the Sword Master is not that cheap.
Even the swordsmanship genius Kamiizumi Nobunaga could only step half a foot in and could not move the other foot in no matter what.
To become a swordsman, one needs not only the pinnacle of swordsmanship, but also ideological enlightenment.
Although Kamiizumi Nobunaga's skills were fully qualified, his ideological awareness was confused and he was unable to reach the state of emptiness.
How could Kenshin Uesugi, a young man, have such profound life experience?
Tsukahara Bokuden didn't believe a single word of it.
However, Miyamoto Musashi's words made the old sword master's face even more serious.
He massacred the Nagao family, purged the powerful in Echigo, and personally killed his father, Takeda Shingen...
All these deeds show that the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin is an unprecedented Shura killing god, who possesses thoughts that ordinary people cannot match!
Uesugi Kenshin is a swordsman who proves his way through killing!!!
"...I have had countless disciples throughout my life. Even Takeda Shingen, the hero who expelled his biological father, was once taught swordsmanship by me."
Tsukahara Bokuden sighed deeply.
He was a compassionate swordsman, and his mentality became even more transcendent and compassionate in his later years. He had not killed for decades.
And the number of his disciples is even more terrifying——
Kamizumi Nobutsuna, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Imagawa Ujima, Takeda Shingen, Yamamoto Kansuke...
Basically, Tsukahara Bokuden would teach anyone who was willing to learn from him, just so that the person could make a breakthrough in swordsmanship.
Therefore, many people would spontaneously call Tsukahara Bokuden their master. If Miyamoto Musashi is willing now, she can also become Tsukahara Bokuden's apprentice.
What on earth is this sword master with such a good relationship and gentle personality thinking behind the scenes?
This sword master, who was as compassionate as a bodhisattva in his later years, probably only had this one thing on his mind -
That is to cultivate an opponent who can surpass oneself!!!
The old man showed his uneven teeth and laughed with his eyebrows shaking.
"I have sealed my sword for forty-five years! I have cultivated my sword for forty-five years! In these forty-five years, I have not killed a single time! In these forty-five years, I have not drawn my sword even once! I thought I would take this boundless sword will to my grave, but I never expected that Heaven would still favor me, Tsukahara Bokuden!"
Tsukahara Bokuden suddenly stood up, and the old man seemed to be resurrected in an instant, and his skinny body began to gradually straighten up!
"Uesugi Kenshin! You have arrived in Kyoto now! I can feel it! Your overwhelming murderous intent! Your dark will! It is already blasting towards us from the city gates!!!"
"He must be coming for me! The Buddhist Martial God must have come to Kyoto for me! I have been waiting for this day for forty-five years! Uesugi Kenshin! You must be the same! You too must be the sword demon who lives for the sword—!!"
However, the next moment, the excited Tsukahara Bokuden started coughing wildly, and a large amount of blood gushed out of the mouth of the old swordsman!
"Hey! Old man! Are you okay?!"
Miyamoto Musashi, with a panicked look on his face, supported Tsukahara Bokuden, who was curled up on the floor and vomiting blood.
This sword master is old.
He was old and afraid of the cold, and no longer had the strength to march like he did when he was young. He had to wear thick mink fur to keep warm even in winter.
He coughed frequently, could no longer draw his sword, and his hair had turned gray. Tsukahara Bokuden was no longer the man he was in his prime.
As a mortal's life should be, Tsukahara Bokuden has undoubtedly reached its peak.
However, the appearance of Uesugi Kenshin was like a raging fire that burned everything, exposing Tsukahara Bokuden's compassionate appearance in his later years like a bodhisattva.
Tsukahara Bokuden is the sword ghost.
If he was not an evil ghost obsessed with swords, how could he have comprehended the realm of emptiness and entered the realm of sword saint?
At this moment, he only wanted to compete with the only two sword masters of the Warring States Period at the last moment of his life!
Whether it was the loyalty that was originally due to the shogunate, or the life dedicated to Kashima Shinto-ryu, all of it disappeared at this moment!
There was no need to worry about the karma they each carried, or the worldly ties that held them back, just to enjoy the feeling of life and death merging into a single moment, the state where one's heart and the opponent's became one...
Tsukahara Bokuden's sword and Uesugi Kenshin's sword, which one is the strongest sword?
This is the principle of the way of the sword—
It determines not only victory but also life and death!!!
Chapter 4100: I Want to Create a World with Only Senior Brothers ( words)
He is regarded as the last enemy in life by Tsukahara Bokuden and is now the only swordsman in the Warring States Period, Kenshin Sugi.
What is he thinking about when he comes to Kyoto at this moment?
to be honest--
Axue had no idea who this guy was.
The pinnacle of kendo and the ultimate of martial arts are often not that important to him.
It was relatively easy to make him remember Kamiizumi Nobunaga. After all, they had fought against each other in their previous life and they had a good relationship with each other.
But Tsukahara Bokuden...
Axue didn't know this old guy in her previous life, and it was even more impossible in this life.
Just after arriving in Kyoto, a world-renowned swordsman came spitting blood and wanted to fight him to the death...
Even if she had the ability to see into the future, Axue would find it hard to imagine such a thing happening.
The first thing he did when he arrived in Kyoto was not to visit Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, nor to meet with Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but to enter the Kyoto Onmyoji Ryo first.
The Onmyoji Ryo was an important government agency of the shogunate, led by the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Haruaki, for generations. It was responsible for the observation and judgment of divination, astronomy, time, calendar, and related education.
Even though Shintoism is in decline and Buddhism is sweeping the Warring States Period, the Onmyoji is an important department in Kyoto that cannot be erased.
Tsuchimikado Taisho is the current Onmyoji Head of the Onmyoji Bureau, and is also the Taoist priest who is responsible for calculating the nation's destiny.
However, this number one Onmyoji in Kyoto is not loyal to the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but has a close relationship with the Shogunate Governor Hosokawa Harumoto, which indirectly proves that the Hosokawa family is the real master of the Muromachi shogunate.
Faced with the visit of Kenshin Uesugi, the Dragon of Echigo, the entire Onmyoji was extremely shocked!
Because Axue is a Buddhist martial god, and the Onmyoji Bureau is affiliated with Shintoism, the two are inherently hostile to each other and cannot understand each other.
