Arknights is too real, right?

Ying Wulan, this is obviously a name with characteristics of the Eastern Kingdom, and in the Eastern Kingdom, this surname is also famous in all directions.

As we all know, the current ruler of the Dongzhou region of the Eastern Kingdom is the Sakurawu family. The Sakurawulan who appears in Victoria at this moment is a member of the Sakurawu family, and his brother is the current head of the Sakurawu family, Sakurawu Shanxiong.

Of course, although he has the blood of the Sakurawu family, he himself has nothing to do with the Sakurawu family.

To be precise, it was not that the Sakurawu family abandoned him, but that he abandoned the Sakurawu family.

Some people say that if Yingwulan was willing to fully help the war between the Yingwu family and the Nishimiya family, Dongzhou and Nishikawa would have been unified long ago.

It seems a bit exaggerated to say that one person can turn the tide of the war and bring an overwhelming victory to the army.

However, those who truly understand Ying Wulan's strength know very well that this is no joke.

Because, when Sakurabu Lan was 25 years old, he personally defeated the legend of the Eastern Kingdom, the founder of the Sakurabu family, and his grandfather, Sakurawu Juyaro.

Few outsiders knew about that duel. The people of Dongzhou only realized that Juyoro Sakurabu, who was known as the best swordsman in Dongguo, slowly disappeared from unknown time. Until now, he is still missing.

Some people may say that boxing is afraid of young people. It seems not surprising that a 25-year-old grandson beats a 60-year-old grandfather.

However, people who can say such things must have overlooked one thing.

Back then, when Juyorō Sakurabu finished his training and officially announced his departure from the mountain, he was already over 40 years old, because the sword-drawing technique inherited by the Sakurawu family cultivates not the body, but the mind.

Unlike the swordsmanship of the Yan Kingdom, the swordsmanship of the Yingwu family is not very complicated, and it does not require extraordinary endurance. The more time it goes through and the more time it passes, the more exquisite it becomes.

Juyaro Sakurabu, who was in his 60s at the time, thought that he had reached the peak of his entire life. If he hadn't been able to find Xiao Yunye no matter what, the showdown at Qingyun Peak would have happened again.

But just like this, he regained his confidence, but was easily defeated by his grandson Ying Wulan, who was only 25 years old.

Since then, Juyoro Sakurabu has seen through the world of mortals and given up his pursuit of martial arts.

There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. For most of his life, he always thought that Xiao Yunye was "the sky", but ironically, he was easily defeated by his grandson.

It's like a marathon. During the run, you keep chasing after the competitor you think you are. But you didn't expect that half an hour after you set off, a person who had just arrived at the venue didn't even start. It didn't take long for him to catch up with you from behind, and then easily surpass you, leaving you far behind and beyond his reach.

After that battle, Juyaro Sakurabu, who had studied martial arts all his life, knew very well that his grandson Sakurabu Lan could no longer be described as one in a million.

He is a true swordsman who has never been seen before or since.

The power of Sakurabu Lan made the entire Sakurabu family very high-spirited at that time, and no one even stopped the elder Sakurawu Juyorozu from choosing to retire.

Not long after, the head of the Sakurawu family, the eldest son of Sakurawu Juyorozu, died of illness, and the position of the head of the family became vacant.

At that time, the whole family, including the entire Dongzhou family and military commanders, unanimously recommended Ying Wulan as the new head of the family, and no one raised any objection.

However, it was not Yingwu Lan who succeeded him as the head of the family, but his brother, Yingwu Shanxiong.

Some people say that when God opens a window for you, he will also close the door.

What God opened was Yingwu Lan's amazing talent in martial arts, and when he closed the door, it seemed that his head was squeezed.

Just like some kind of natural law, strong men born by chance always like to be independent. Throughout his life, Sakura Wulan only participated in one battle with the Nishimiya family.

Then, he announced that he would never interfere in the feud between the Sakurawu family and the Nishimiya family again, and that he had a higher pursuit in life.

In this aspect, he is very similar to his grandfather Juyoro Sakurabu.

In a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed.

Juyoro Sakurabu lives alone in seclusion on the south coast of Nishikawa and has become an old man approaching 90 years old.

And Sakura Wulan has also entered middle age from a young man in his 20s.

Some people say that 40 years old is the age of no confusion. This description can also be applied to the understanding of martial arts.

Everyone who witnessed the battle between grandfather and grandson at that time had the same idea.

Twenty years have passed. If Sakura Wulan is still alive, I am afraid that no one in this world can defeat him.

Even the Yan Kingdom's number one swordsman probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Victoria, outside Londinium.

The air was filled with the burning smell, and the ground dozens of meters in radius seemed to be swept by flames, and all the weeds turned into ashes.

This shocking scene was all thanks to the Red Knife’s exclusive Origin Stone technique. However, the next second, the flame on the long knife went out.

Hong Dao, who was seriously injured, fell to one knee on the ground, using his long knife to support his body. Blood had stained the ground under his feet.

Standing opposite him, Sakura Wulan seemed to be even more embarrassed. The plain blue shirt he was wearing was torn by the flames, and even the hair on his forehead was burnt into strands.

However, even though he looked embarrassed, his body did not have a single wound cut by a sharp blade. Also intact was the grass spike that he had been holding in his mouth from beginning to end.

In other words, during the entire battle, the red knife did not hurt him at all.

Standing on the land that seemed to be swept by a prairie fire, Sakura Wulan slowly put the Sakura Sword back into its sheath.

"You must be the so-called infected person. I have never seen this kind of attack before. Unfortunately, although the power is strong, it is too slow in my eyes."

Hong Dao's face was covered with blood, and the injuries on his body were no longer enough to support him in continuing to fight. Finally, he turned his head slightly and looked at the city wall behind him.

On the front of the city wall, two slash marks, half a meter deep and seven or eight meters away, appeared crisscrossing in the shape of a cross.

This was done by the sword energy, and it was also left by Ying Wulan during the battle just now.

A weak and trembling voice came from the red knife's mouth.

"Who are you and why are you looking for Xia Feng?"

Sakura Wulan's expression did not change.

"It turns out that the person who split the city wall was named Xia Feng. Well, now I seem to have what you call the qualifications. Can you tell me where the person named Xia Feng is?"

His vision became increasingly blurry, and Hong Dao's eyes flickered.

"He's no longer in Victoria."

After that, the long knife could no longer support the seriously injured body, and with a "plop", the red knife fell down.

He lost this battle.

Ying Wu Lan's clothes were burned to pieces, but he didn't care at all.

Turning around, he followed the city gate and placed his eyes quietly on the bright avenue that ran through the entire city.

"Aren't you in Victoria? Well, I will find him, Xia Feng. I will continue to get stronger before I find you."
