Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Sakura Showdown

Linfeng grasped the blade of the cherry blossom tightly, and the evening wind blew, and a few leaves floated down. He slashed against the wind, and the blade drew an arc. A tree on the side of the road fell in response, and the branch broke the electric wire. The lights in the whole street were dimmed, and the lantern was also extinguished. Yihe praised: "This is a priceless knife!" Linfeng said lightly: "Take it for wine!" Linfeng knew that Dora was already short of cash, so he bet all the money on tomorrow's decisive battle. Dora went to a nearby tavern to exchange some Japanese sake with Sakura Blade. The brand of this kind of wine is called "Shangshan Rushui", which means "the feeling of noble and delicious drink spreads in all directions like running water" in Japanese.

Linfeng and Yihe were sitting on a cross street, surrounded by traffic, the two of them were relatively speechless, drinking in silence. Iga suddenly sang: The petals of the cherry blossoms are still falling, We're about to start the final battle, The soul returns to the dust, like cherry blossoms scattered, Farewell, my friend, We are the glorious cherry blossoms, Will be back at Mother's Lap and open again! Linfeng said: "Tomorrow, must one person die?" Iga said: "If I lose, I will die!" Linfeng understands that Yihe only accepts death, not failure, so Linfeng raises the wine to Yihe, and the two drink it down in one gulp.

The rule of the final battle of the World Fighting Championship is that the winner lives and the loser dies.If two people are alive, then the championship will belong to the third place. If both people die, the championship of this fighting competition will belong to the third place. Therefore, this is a decisive battle of life and death.This decisive battle attracted hundreds of TV media around the world to broadcast live, and the amount of bets also reached a historical peak, and the winner is enough to become rich in the world. The final battle was chosen to be held at night. The Sakura Fighting Arena was full of seats, and hundreds of thousands of spectators were buzzing. With the sound of flutes, the lights in the arena dimmed, and the audience fell silent. The final battle began.

The moonlight is like water, shining on a grove of cherry blossoms, the sound of the flute whimpering, with melancholy as scattered as fog! Cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky and falling one after another. Two heroes who have experienced many battles have gone through untold hardships and passed all the way. One of them will fall in this cherry blossom forest. The audience waited eagerly, not knowing when Linfeng and Yihe would appear on stage. More than a dozen strong men entered the arena dragging two big kites. The audience looked up and burst into deafening applause. There were actually two people on the kites high in the sky. Linfeng and Yihe were holding the ropes Sliding from the kite, this incredible way of appearance feasted the audience's eyes.

The sound of the flute stopped, and the thirteen-string zither sounded melodiously, playing the Japanese classical music "Sakura Rain". Two people stand in the cherry blossom forest, the petals are like rain, and the falling flowers are colorful.Linfeng is elegant and handsome in a traditional Chinese double-breasted gown; Iga is dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed.In this competition, you can choose three kinds of cold weapons as weapons. Iga chose a Muramasa ninja sword, a Saling, and the mulberry bow he made; Linfeng chose a Xuanyuan sword, a Yanlong soft whip, a military dagger.The Muramasa Ninja Sword, also known as the Muramasa Demon Sword, is a famous sword in Japanese history. It is said that it has killed thousands of people and is still extremely sharp.The Xuanyuan sword chosen by Linfeng is said to be cast by the Yellow Emperor from the copper of the gods Caishou mountain, and later passed on to Xia Yu. The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and mountains, rivers and trees on the other.

The sound of the zither became more and more urgent, the heart rhythm as calm as water was suddenly aroused, surging like waves, violent like wind, and shrill like Xiaoxiao sword energy. Stop, the surroundings are completely silent. Both Linfeng and Yihe knew that the time for the decisive battle had come. The wind is getting stronger, and the petals are rolled up with the wind, each piece is light and light, dancing like a butterfly. The demon sword in Yihe's hand was out of its sheath, and he swung it towards Linfeng from a distance. The knife slashed upwards from the ground. The audience was puzzled, because Yihe was far away from Linfeng, and the blade could not hurt Linfeng at all .

Facing the wind as if facing a big enemy, he covered his face with one palm, evaded the attack with a side somersault, and then held the sword in his hand.He understood that Iga used the blade to stir up the sand grains on the ground, and he happened to be standing in the downwind position. Once the wind and sand blinded his eyes, he would definitely die. Iga dragged his sword forward and performed nine slashing moves in a row. These nine moves are the essence of Japanese kendo, namely Tangzhu, Kasaya Slash, Reverse Kasaya, Left Pheasant, Right Pheasant, Left Cut Up, Right Cut Up, Headwind, sharp.Linfeng knew very well, he took nine steps backwards in a row, and then he stepped on the seven stars, gaited in circles, and instantly hit the three swords Immortal Guidance, Wrist Blossom Frustration, and Dripping Water Piercing Clouds.These three moves are the most basic three moves in swordsmanship in Chinese martial arts routines. They look ordinary, but they are actually extremely powerful. Linfeng practiced countless times when he was young, and he is very skilled. These three moves are seamless and smooth.Yihe avoided the two swords, and was stabbed in the shoulder by the last move, Dripping Cloud Piercing.

Iga failed in one blow, and immediately retreated completely.He climbed up the tree, climbed and leaped like an ape, and after a while, he disappeared. Linfeng looked around, there was a faint and elegant fragrance in the cherry blossom grove, there was a pond in the middle of the grove, and there were piles of petals beside the pond, Iga suddenly stood up from the pile of petals and shot an arrow at Linfeng, Linfeng dodged it nimbly, and the arc-shaped arrow actually drew a circle in the air, and finally returned to Yihe, who stretched out his hand to grab it.Before Iga could shoot the second arrow, Linfeng stepped forward, pulled out the soft whip of Yanlong, flicked his wrist, and the whip caught the wind and thunder and lashed towards Iga. , Linfeng found that Iga had disappeared again.

Linfeng observed carefully and noticed that the water surface was shimmering, which indicated that Iga was lurking in the pond. Linfeng did not dare to act rashly, but stood there and waited patiently. 10 minutes passed, and the water in the pond was like a mirror without a single ripple. Soon, 20 minutes passed.Linfeng felt very strange, no matter how big a person's lung capacity is, it is impossible to hide in the water for more than 20 minutes.Canadian Foster once set a world record for holding his breath in water for 13 minutes and 42 seconds. Later, Lithuanian man Arvidas broke the record and persisted for 15 minutes and 58 seconds.

Iga has been lurking at the bottom of the water. This is because the head of the sheath of the ninja sword can be removed, so the sheath becomes a tube, allowing the ninja to hide for a long time as an underwater breathing apparatus.The scabbard is sometimes filled with soot or chili powder, and when the ninja draws the knife, there is a cloud of smoke all around, and when the smoke clears, the ninja is nowhere to be seen. Linfeng whipped his whip towards the surface of the water a few times, then walked cautiously to the side of the pond to check, Yihe suddenly shot an arrow at the bottom of the water, Linfeng was unprepared, hit the ribs, and the soft whip in his hand fell to the ground.Iga jumped up in the pond, the water splashed everywhere, he slashed at the head, dodged backwards in the wind, and stepped on the Sa Ling that Iga had buried in advance, which is one of the ninja's hidden weapons.

Yihe jumped ashore and took advantage of the situation to attack, Linfeng endured the pain and tried his best to parry, under the shadow of swords and swords, the weapons rang together.Soon, the Xuanyuan Sword in Linfeng's hand was knocked flying by Yihe, Linfeng pulled out the dagger, Yihe took a few steps back, rushed forward, and slashed at Linfeng's head. Linfeng dodged backwards, but he didn't expect that there was a tree behind him. Linfeng had a premonition that his own death was approaching. At that moment, many images flashed through his mind, and he didn't have time to think about it. He broke the boat and took a sudden step forward, stabbing the dagger at Iga's chest. . It was too late for Iga to take back the offensive. Seeing that the two of them were about to die together, suddenly, a bomb exploded beside him, and the powerful air wave lifted them into the air, and Linfeng was shot in many places, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, only felt his body Lightly, and then saw the earth coming towards me. The Sakura Fighting Field was in chaos, no one figured out what was going on, and there was an explosion in the auditorium, blood soared into the sky, stumps flew, hundreds of thousands of spectators ran towards the exit like a swarm, trampled and crowded, and there were many casualties . The next day, major news media reported the terrorist attack in headlines. The police preliminarily determined that the terrorist attack was not the work of rebels. According to the spokesperson, the two championship contenders had secretly contacted on the eve of the final. Negotiations on the bonus bet were carried out, and the fingerprints of Linfeng and Iga were also found on several unexploded bombs in the fighting arena. The police had reason to suspect that this was an act of retaliation triggered by the two parties because the bonus negotiation failed.Another media reported the injuries of the two championship contenders. Both of them are currently being treated in isolation by the police. Iga underwent surgery to remove several shrapnel, and Linfeng was unconscious and dying. Dora couldn't figure out why Linfeng's fingerprints were on the bomb. Hawthorne suspected that someone had framed him, but there was no evidence.Through Kimura's negotiation, the police agreed to let Hawthorne and Dora visit Linfeng. Linfeng was lying on the hospital bed, still unconscious. Dora hugged Linfeng and burst into tears, tears wet Linfeng's shoulders. Lin Feng remained motionless. Dora said to herself: "I will always wear the ring you gave me." Dora kissed Linfeng's face, she never thought that this kiss was actually a farewell! A few days later, Dora bought a newspaper on the street, and there was a line of big characters on it: The champion contender of the World Fighting Championship died in the wind!
