Naruto: The Legend of Mortal Bone Ninja

The rebellion of the untouchables was suppressed before dawn.

This has been true since ancient times. Even rebellions planned by well-intentioned people often fail more than they succeed.

Not to mention that the people of Li Hai were completely used. I don't know if they were used as pawns to test the military strength of the Xiaoliu family or for some other purpose. At least it was not to lead them out of the sea of ​​misery.

The rigorous training of the army in the past and the extensive equipment updates finally showed their due strength last night, suppressing the rebellion in an instant.This is a natural result. Rage without power is useless. Although he encountered an extraordinary fighting force such as the remnants of the Yamen family, it was also because Koyanagi Noriyasu's personal bodyguards were wiped out due to some misfortune.

Even if the beheading operation is successful, if this group of untouchables is allowed to stand up and take charge, destruction will be a matter of time, whether it is internal or external troubles.

The status was preserved, the territory was preserved, everything seemed as if it had never happened, as calm and boring as ever.

But Xiaoliu Dianjing couldn't be happy heartlessly.

The culprit of all this is undoubtedly that damn mercenary with a big mouth. As an additional reward for last night, although it is indeed thanks to him that he has saved everything he has now, the greedy bastard doesn't know how to balance these two things in his mind. How to write this word! ?

The Koyanagi family was started as a swordsmanship instructor for the former lord. Even though Koyanagi Noriyoshi was unwilling, his father still practiced the ancestral skills in his youth regardless of life and death. These skills were used every day after Koyanagi Noriyoshi usurped the throne. Under the waste of extravagant luxury, he would still spare some time to review, which was the behavior he had been trained to perform. He always kept in mind the teachings of the stinky father who had died of poisonous alcohol, hiding this ability that no one could The power of not knowing in case of emergencies.

It would be best if the mercenary left wisely, but if he continued to stay in the city, instead of being dragged down by him, Koyanagi Noriyasu had the consciousness to sneak attack Li Zhen when he relaxed his vigilance. And courage...that was the original plan.

These layers of disguise were exposed by the female assassin.

Sitting alone in the bedroom with the doors and windows closed, Xiaoliu Dianjing bit his fingers and thought about how to deal with it.

The mercenary was not surprised at all by his ability to capture the female assassin. Had he seen through this a long time ago?Or does it mean that he doesn't care about his meager strength at all?

None of the guys who escaped from me last night could survive... But now, we have to slowly deal with them.

The remnants of the Yamen family were immediately controlled and began to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes. As for the untouchables, although Koyanagi Norijing wanted to bury them all alive, he could only think of this, if he dug up all the leek roots. How can you continue to harvest fresh leeks if they fall?Find some of the more important ones among the untouchables and drag them out to be executed. You can hold back for the time being. When you are free, you can slowly deal with these untouchables.

The only thing left... is the rogue mercenary who can't be bypassed.

Can you believe that the scoundrel who extorted a quarter of Koyanagi Norijing's property didn't even bother to tell him his name?

When thinking of that bastard, Xiaoliu Dianjing felt like he could hardly breathe!

"Please! Please!"

Xiaoyanagi Norijing's fat face was filled with smiles, and he was echoing all the way like a funny clown, staring at the prisoners in the cage.

It is Koyanagi Noriyoshi's bad taste to build the prison underground in the castle, because deep inside the prison is his treasure house. If he doesn't enjoy the wailing of the prisoners to appreciate his collection every day, Koyanagi Noriyoshi will not be able to mention it all day long. Come on.

Naturally, the people imprisoned here cannot be some extremely vicious criminals. They are more likely to be ordinary people who were inexplicably imprisoned because they did not know what wrong nerve was offended by Xiaoyanagi Dianjing. He tried to sarcastically say something to make himself suffer even more, and he didn't even dare to take a second look to avoid being resented by Xiaoyanagi Dianjing.

It's just that the person Koyanagi Norijing is flattering is probably not a good person. Otherwise, how could he sit idly by and ignore this hellish scene?

"..."

Li Zhenlang's brows frowned slightly under his mask. He really didn't care who the prisoners were, but the air in this dungeon was indeed a bit dull and nauseating.

He was just here to collect part of the reward.

"Of course a master like you needs a famous sword to match him!"

Xiaoliu Dianjing shouted like this.

Li Zhen, to be honest, although he is very interested in famous swords, he is not obsessed with them... To put it bluntly, he is very envious of the various collections of plastic models, but he is too poor to afford one. I can say that I have that interest.

Well, although the sword on his waist is a life-saving tool that he relies on to survive, Li Zhen really has never thought about spending a lot of money to buy the famous swords and swords that the store hypes.Of course it would be nice to have it, but it’s not necessarily indispensable if it doesn’t have it.

After all, this world is ninjutsu, the main world view of ninjas. Although the usage rate of weapons is very high, there are very few items that can be ranked high.Ninjas often use all possible means in battle. The choice of weapons is more about convenience and concealment. It is just a prop, which can be discarded at any time without hindering it. Unlike the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, they are not as addicted to swords as their lives. A bad knife is shared among generations like a family heirloom.

Therefore, the weapons manufacturing industry in this world is not based on quality, but on quantity.

The sword is not a person. If a person is injured, he will become stronger. If the sword is injured, the damage will accumulate, which will kill the owner in a crisis.A knife will often be damaged or broken in the collision of weapons in a battle due to the bluntness of human blood and fat bones. It must be maintained every day. The story of a knife cutting from the beginning to the finale is just a story after all, even if it is What an incredible Noble Phantasm, if you don't take proper care of it, one day a Dragon Rider Queen will jump to your death.

Li Zhen didn't know how many swords he had handled so far. At first, he was quite nostalgic about using the sword he named. However, with the continuous battles in this troubled world, the sword with the name has long been forgotten. In which battle the fracture was abandoned.

However, the knife on his waist has been used for a long time now, and the handle is already tattered. Compared with picking up weapons from enemy corpses, the lord's collection is quite exciting.

"These are all famous swords that I have collected from various countries! There must be one that is worthy of you. Choose as you like! Of course, this will not be included in your reward, it is just my personal Please don’t refuse this gift to you!”

Just like the vegetable farmers and traders on the roadside, Xiaoyanagi Norijing introduced how delicious his own cabbage was with a smile. The dignified lord could condescend to this point and only wanted to fight this guy who couldn't be beaten and wouldn't listen. Rogue.

A dozen swords were displayed in the secret room at the end of the prison. In addition to the swords, there were antique calligraphy and paintings and other items that were probably valuable. Unfortunately, Li Zhen was not interested in taking these inconvenient items as reward.

Li Zhen didn't say anything to this scumbag lord who paid him money and gave him things, and casually took the tachi on the nearby table.

The cold light of the unsheathed blade flickered in the secret room for a moment. Even Li Zhen, who didn't know much about knives, could feel that this knife was completely different from the weapons he used to pick up trash in the past.

Li Zhen glanced at the many swords placed in the secret room or hanging on the wall. If possible, he really wanted to pack them all up and take them away. As for whether it would be too ugly to eat like this... Barbarian Li Zhen naturally wouldn't care. .

It's enough. Li Zhen just sometimes falls into difficulty in choosing when faced with some unimportant issues. After all, he really doesn't understand the value of swords. He only uses practicality as a crude criterion. He can't let him Pull out all the swords here and try them on that scumbag lord one by one, right?It's not impossible, but the fat lord may not be able to withstand so many knives.

The sword in his hand exudes a soul-stirring cold light. Even ordinary people who do not know martial arts can intuitively feel the sharpness of this blade. Adjectives such as cutting iron like mud and blowing hair with decisive decision are endless in the mind.

"..."

But Li Zhen put down this famous sword.

Sharp things are not the best.

He is indeed a barbarian who doesn't know how to use swords, but he understands what he needs from his own personal experience in actual combat.

In order to make the weapon sharper and gain an advantage in sword fighting, the material of the weapon needs to be a hard enough metal.However, the harder the material is, the more difficult it is to deform and the force is difficult to dissipate. Because the energy applied is concentrated, over time, it is easy to fail and break directly.

If metals with higher toughness are used to make weapons, the lethality will be greatly reduced. In that case, it is better to fight with a fire stick.

Knife hardness and toughness are often mutually exclusive.

According to his own usage habits, Li Zhen prefers knives that can be used to strike with enemies rather than sharpness. As for the lethality, he can use the sword dependence method taught to him by Uncle Mifune to enhance the lethality, so that chakra can be attached to the weapon. , causing it to change according to the user's strength. This is the method of changing the form of chakra.

However, sword possession also has its shortcomings, or it is a problem of consumption.It is the so-called aging property, which mostly refers to the aging limit of chakra attached to the body or weapons from the body.For example, if you see Er Zhuzi in a certain Pink Eye disease take out a knife with electric light Bilibili attached to it, that does not mean that Er Zhuzi in Pink Eye disease can enchant the knife once and then ignore it for a long time.

Chakra is not just the original layer of chakra on the surface of an object. Newly generated chakra is constantly replacing the original lost chakra.Under normal circumstances, the chakra extracted by 20 billion cells can only last for one second in the air, on the body surface, or on weapons.

Therefore, using sword possession is a continuous consumption process that continuously delivers chakra to the weapon.

Therefore, Li Zhen couldn't really just pick up a fire stick and attach it to chakra and hit someone. Otherwise, with his small amount of chakra, he would drain himself dry due to excessive consumption before hitting the enemy.

This is not a matter of sword technique, but the chakra of Li Zhen or most ordinary people is limited.

If the weapon itself is good enough, most of the time there is no need to use chakra to fight, so it would be great if you can choose a good weapon now.

So, want to try that one?

Like a child who immediately tries something when he thinks of it, under the puzzled gazes of Xiaoyanagi Dianjing and his two guards, Li Zhen rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing an arm mostly covered with old scars and raised it in front of his chest. eyes.

After calming down, the arm also changed.

The jet-black color seemed to gush out from countless pores, occupying the arm almost instantly, and then turned the skin gray.

"Tsk!"

Without waiting for further changes to occur, Li Zhen opened his eyes, and the chakra he had already condensed surged into his right arm, defeating the natural energy that was frantically eroding his arm.As its own flesh and blood bones made a crisp sound that refused to bear the weight due to the impact of the two energies, the arm returned to its original color.

Staring at his broken and bleeding arm with old scars, Li Zhen snorted, slightly dissatisfied with the result, but his goal had been achieved.

Although it was an attempt that Li Zhen himself had no expectations for, the result was that he really found something unexpected.

He walked directly to a corner in the secret room, no longer paying attention to the famous swords placed on both sides.

There were several swords that were not taken seriously and were randomly tied together and thrown on the ground. These swords were not necessarily worse than the famous swords on display.However, they were not made by famous masters, and most of them were unmarked knives. Therefore, they were despised by Koyanagi Noriyoshi. He only used these knives roughly to kill prisoners when he vented his dissatisfaction. Even if the blade broke, he did not feel distressed at all. If there are defects, they are immediately discarded.

Li Zhen took out a shorter knife from the pile of knives.

The heavy sword is just as unremarkable as the unmarked knives around it, and it is even more different from those famous swords with a cold light after taking it out of the sheath.Even if this was the knife that Li Zhen picked out himself, this thing was really not as good as any of the knives on the stand. Throwing it on the ground was not an injustice to it.Yes, if you use this thing to kill people normally, if you use it normally...

"..."

Xiaoliu Dianjing closed his eyes, holding his breath and stepped back little by little. He didn't even dare to put his eyes on Li Zhen to avoid alerting the other party, although it seemed very strange that someone would be alerted just by the sight from behind. It's bullshit, but Xiaoyanagi Dianjing knew that the rogue mercenary was capable of this level.

There is a purpose in putting down your dignity and compromising in front of others. Koyanagi Norijing has never lowered his head in the face of any difficulties.If he could pay a certain price to send away this god of plague, Koyanagi Norijing, he would bear the pain of cutting his flesh for the sake of his wealth and life. But since this god of plague is so greedy, Koyanagi Norijing would have to devote all his energy to making him pay the price!

Even if the fish die and the net breaks!

"Go!"

The first moment he exited the secret room, Koyanagi Norijing shouted, and the guards who had been on standby immediately turned the candle holder at hand.

This treasure house is the ultimate means that Koyanagi Noriyasu spent huge sums of money to build after becoming the lord. It contains an escape route that only he knows, so that he can escape when the city is destroyed or there is no way out. , used to lure greedy invaders in, then detonate the buried explosives and die together!

Even if those famous sword treasures were blown to pieces, Koyanagi Dianjing would never leave them to anyone.

With the roaring sound, a huge stone was released by the mechanism above the secret room door. It fell in an instant and was about to block the only entrance and exit.

All he had to do was detonate the explosives while the scoundrel was locked inside. Although the thought of letting his rich collection go up in smoke with the scoundrel and wiping out Xiaoyanagi Norijing was more painful than the death of his own father, he also knew that there was no room for hesitation now.

It was an extremely exquisite design. The amount of explosives and the scale of detonation were controllable at different levels. At most, the castle above would be buried with it. But now, you only need to use the amount needed to blow up the treasure house.

In addition to the roar of falling boulders, there was a sound of something breaking in Koyanagi Norijing's ears, which made him think that he heard wrongly.

The falling dust that had not been activated for many years since the mechanism was built temporarily obscured Koyanagi Norijing's sight, but it was only for a moment that he saw the frightening wolf mask again in despair.

Li Zhen once took the blood of an immortal, and once put himself to death and survived the hardships of life. After that, he could vaguely detect something, some energy that was indeed there that could not be observed with the naked eye, because he was given a There is a natural feeling of heaven and earth. Let’s call this unknown green energy natural energy.

He tried many ways to utilize this energy, but in the end he had no choice but to inhale it into his body. However, it was too violent energy. He only tried to incorporate it into his body a little bit, and then it began to devour Li Zhen's own chakra crazily. Due to the infection, even today Li Zhen has no way to use this energy in battle.

But Li Zhen still gained certain benefits from it. For example, Li Zhen, who is not a perceptive ninja and does not have that kind of talent, gained a certain degree of perception due to the infection of natural energy or the blood of immortals. Ability, he had inadvertently used this ability when he was chasing the Konoha ninja before, and judged the strength of both parties.

Even now, Li Zhen found this blade among the many irons that might be used by others, and he also sensed the deep malice of the three people behind him.Even if he doesn't use this ability, Li Zhen is cautious and always pays attention to the movements of the three people. However, in this field of perception, when Koyanagi Norijing's malice suddenly rises from the normal screen segment, Li Zhen will Being able to know immediately that this guy is about to make a move can further predict the enemy's intentions.

So Li Zhen threw out the saber from his waist and got stuck at the spot where the boulder fell. Although he struggled for less than half a second, the blade that had been with Li Zhen for a long time was crushed with a cry, but it was enough for Li Zhen to use Instant Shenju passed through the distance to the outside and came to Xiaoliu Dianjing's body.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The candlelight flickered in the narrow passage, and the loyal guard beside Xiaoliu Dianjing raised his sword and slashed at Li Zhen!

Li Zhen, who had no time to draw his sword, set up his newly acquired sword scabbard to block the blow. The chakra possessed by the scabbard glowed with a faint blue light, easily pushing the guard's blade to the side and backhand. Yidu smashed the guard's throat with the end of the scabbard, causing the latter to fall down with vomiting blood in pain.

"hiss!"

The severe pain that came from his back made Li Zhen take a breath of air, and hit Li Zhen with a knife. Another guard of Li Zhen also opened his eyes wide as if he was shocked by his own feat. In front of him, this was the lord's personal guard that was wiped out. The monster.

This was due to the adverse effects of the narrow passage, and also because Li Zhen, who had escaped from the secret room at the last moment, responded with two kills in a hurry. After all, Li Zhen had been living a comfortable life for the past two days, which made him feel carefree. It's somewhat of a way to look down on the other party.

The guard who was hit by the knife took advantage of the victory and pursued it, hoping to expand the victory, but found that his knife could not continue to cut or pull out, and was locked by the exquisite chain armor and tempered muscles hidden under the black combat uniform!

"It hurts!"

The angry words accompanied by the deadly wind made the guard's cheeks hurt. Although the narrow space was not conducive to performing swordsmanship, it was inevitable to avoid wasted blows in every inch of the way.Li Zhen's left thumb was clasped on his index fingernail, and the second joint of his index finger protruded forward. His thumb and index finger were clasped together like a phoenix eye and struck at the guard's temple!

As if being hit by a musket at close range, blood spurted out.

The guard died in an instant, and his head was pushed against the wall by the furious force. After rebounding, his whole body quickly collapsed as if he had lost his spine.

The two guards who died in an instant made Xiaoyanagi Norijing's legs weak and his teeth chattering, as if he had once again returned to the terrifying scene when he was approached by this man with a knife three days ago.

Human beings behave differently after collapsing due to fear, tension, and despair. Some people are unable to recover because of this, while others gain the courage to break through.Koyanagi Noriyasu, the cruel lord, did not behave as badly as the powerful in most folk tales at this moment. This has nothing to do with whether he is noble or cruel.

He picked up the blade left by the No. 1 guard, and bravely handed out a trembling knife while Li Zhen was dealing with the No. 2 guard!It shows the ability of the Koyanagi family as the foundation of the family.

Then he was knocked to the ground by Li Zhen's punch. His eyes were lifeless and his face was bloody. His strength and courage were gone like a deflated rubber ball.

"It's really... troublesome..."

The impatient speaker is in a bad mood at the moment. Although it is not because of the reason that "the wound on the back is a shame for a swordsman", it is just because it is difficult for him to apply medicine and treat the injured position alone, so he is irritable. stand up.

Then the violence began.

"It hurts."

Fist raised.

"Ouch, yes, I'm sorry...!"

Fist fell.

"As a person, I am most afraid of pain."

Fist raised.

"Please forgive me...forgive me...whatever you want, you can take it..."

Fist fell.

"Although I didn't want to let you go at first, but in the end I was bitten like this, well, it's like..."

Fist raised.

"........."

Fist fell.

"That's right! This is like a level challenge that requires you to pass it without any injuries. If I don't achieve the three-star challenge and light it up, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

Fist raised.

"..."

A fist bump.

"Can't you hear it anymore?"

Dragging the unrecognizable Koyanagi Norijing by the back of his clothes like a dead dog, Li Zhen walked out of the passage leading to the secret room and threw the still breathing Koyanagi Norijing into the center of the empty prison, causing two screams of surprise from the prisoners.

Li Zhen didn't pay attention to what they were yelling about. After a moment of waiting, he found the cage where a pair of blond brother and sister were imprisoned.

The younger sister Fang was unscathed, because Xiaoliu Dianjing had ordered her not to touch her, and to perform a moral drama in front of her brother to become his brother-in-law. It was only delayed because he had to deal with Li Zhen's matter first.

However, Yamen Leiguang was much more miserable. In order to find out who was behind the scenes as soon as possible, the guard showed off his merits to Noriyoshi Koyanagi and used his lifelong knowledge of torturing prisoners on Yamen Leiguang. He was not imprisoned for a short period of time. In just one day, Yamen Leiguang lost his former handsome face, but what frightened Yamen Leiguang the most was that if it hadn't been for the arrival of Koyanagi Norijing, the guard who had already taken off his pants and was ready to work and play would probably have One step further.

The chains that bound the Yamen brothers and sisters were shattered in a flash that could not be caught by the naked eye. Yamen Lei Ming glared at Li Zhen with hatred, and after freeing himself from the bonds, he immediately ran towards the fallen Lei Guang, tearing his scarred body. In arms.

"What on earth...do you want to do..."

Yamen Leiguang's rich foundation as a martial artist could not be defeated by torture, and the guards did not want to kill him without asking any secrets. Therefore, Yamen Leiguang still had the energy to ask the person who defeated him and saved him at this moment. He is a capricious man.

Li Zhen grinned slightly because of the pain in his back, and said casually without looking back as he walked out of the prison.

"It's just the client's task."
