A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

"Junior Brother Taiyi! Why are you, usually so gentle and refined, so out of control? Have you forgotten the spirit of a warrior? How dare you utter such arrogant words! You are simply..."

Shuxian stood up, placed his right hand directly on the hilt of his sword, and walked towards Taiyi.

Judging from this posture, it seemed that if Taiyi dared to utter another word, he would draw his sword and kill him on the spot.

"Stop." Matsudaira Aoki called out softly. Seeing that Shuken was frozen in place as if under a spell, his expression brightened, and he smiled at Taiichi, saying softly:

"I believe in Yamada Asaemon Taichi; no one would joke about their own life."

Although Aoki spoke casually, the meaning behind his words was very clear.

That means if Taiichi's judgment fails, he will really have to commit seppuku to atone for his sins!

Wei Shan placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, looked at Taiyi in the distance, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Upon hearing Aoki's words, the faces of Zouchi and the others turned deathly pale, and their hearts began to race.

Will you die if you fail?

But I'm sorry everyone, I will not fail.

Taiyi, with his back to the crowd, slowly raised the sword above his head with both hands, silently chanting:

"Add some points."

Subsequently, the remaining 3 general points in the system were immediately added to the breathing technique.

From Taiichi's perspective, the words "Try One-Sword Style" began to blur, and then after a short while, new words appeared.

[Sword Control System]

Name: Yamada Asaemon Taichi

Age: 20

【Lifespan: 53】

[Energy: 66.2 (+)]

Qi and Blood: 5.5 (+)

[God Soul: 7.0 (+)]

[Breathing Technique (+): Roar of the Shadow Tiger (+)]

[Martial Arts: Test-Sword Style Secret Sword Modified (+)]

【Title: Nameless Ronin (When facing enemies, the only thing they'll notice about you is your good looks)】

[Common points: 0]

Seeing this result, Taiyi was secretly pleased, but outwardly remained expressionless, calmly reciting in Chinese:

"The kidney is associated with water, and it secretly contains the true water, hence it is called the Yin Tiger!"

"Try the One-Sword Style Secret Sword Modification - Roar of the Shadow Tiger: Breaking Army!"

A wisp of pale blue energy flowed from Taiyi's palm, enveloping the entire sword.

At the same time, the value of Qi and Blood in the system instantly changed from 5.5 to 25.5!

"What's this!"

Of all those present, only Shujian, Shihe, and Heshiyuan noticed this change, and their expressions all changed drastically.

The remaining people, such as Zuoqie and his group, also sensed the sudden appearance of an inexplicable and awe-inspiring atmosphere, but they were not as surprised as Shujian and the others.

Swish! Snap!

After using the [Tang Bamboo] (a straight slash from top to bottom) technique, Taiyi immediately sheathed his sword and turned to walk towards Aoki.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Taiyi knelt on the ground, holding the sword in his palms above his head: "My lord, I have successfully completed my mission; you have obtained a precious sword."

"What are you talking about..."

Kiyomaru pointed at Taiichi, about to speak, when he suddenly heard a gasp from the people around him.

Suddenly, the seven stacked corpses were severed, and even the earthen platform beneath them was cut in half!

clap clap clap!

"Hahaha, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" Aoki tucked the fan back into his waistband, then clapped his hands, shaking his head in admiration, before clapping his hands and saying:

"I never expected that Lord Taiichi is not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but also fluent in Chinese. It has truly broadened my horizons. You must have had a hard day testing your sword. The Yamada Asaemon clan should be proud to have a samurai like you."

As Aoki spoke, he looked at Yamada Asaemon Yoshiji with a smile.

The latter could only stand aside, wiping his sweat and nodding and smiling apologetically.

After saying this, Aoki said nothing more and turned to leave.

The guards who were with him jogged over to Taiyi, first taking the knife from his hand, and then taking out a stack of things wrapped in a handkerchief and placing them in his hand.

As the footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, Taiyi raised his head and casually opened the handkerchief in his hand.

"Wow, Junior Brother Taiyi, you've struck it rich again! Want to come celebrate with me?"

Shihe walked over, looked at the stack of glittering small gold coins in Taiyi's palm, and said with a wicked smile.

“Of course we should celebrate.” Taiichi stood up, wrapped the kobankin again, then drew his wakizashi from his waist, walked to the severed corpses, and swung his sword to cut off a little finger.

In the Yamada family, there was another side business that provided them with money: selling their little fingers to prostitutes.

In the red-light district, there has always been a tradition that courtesans would cut off their little fingers and give them to their lovers as a way of expressing their affection.

But it's obvious that only an idiot would follow this tradition.

Therefore, some courtesans would buy the little fingers of corpses from the Yamada family to use as substitutes for their own.

At the same time, after discovering the existence of the Nichirin Blade, Taichi suddenly remembered another matter that he needed to verify in Yoshiwara.

"Based on the timeline of Demon Slayer, it seems that Daki, the Upper Moon 6 of the Twelve Demon Moons, probably became a demon around this time."

While still thinking about the Demon Slayer plot, he looked up and found that Sorcerer was already blocking his way.

"Senior Brother Taiyi, you're not going to do this kind of business again, are you?!"

"Calm down, who would complain about having too much money?" Taiichi walked around Sakichi, glancing at Senta and Fuchi at the same time, and smiled:

"Do you two want to come with me to Yoshiwara?"

ha?

Upon hearing Taiichi's question, Fu Zhi and Senta's faces flushed red, like the mercury in a thermometer, rising rapidly from their chins to their foreheads, and they frantically shook their heads.

"Oh, what an innocent boy."

Taiichi chuckled and shook his head.

“Brother Taiyi, you’re only 20 years old, don’t talk to us like an elder.”

Fu Zhi clenched his fists, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger as he retorted.

"Exactly!" Senta stood to the side and began to support Fu Zhi, then adjusted his glasses: "What's the fun in a red-light district compared to having tea with friends?"

After speaking, he looked at Zoche, who gave them both a thumbs up.

After gesturing, Zouchi suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask Taiichi:

"Senior brother, I don't recall ever hearing about your technique from my father. Does our swordsmanship school have such profound secrets?"

"Also, I noticed earlier that your strike wasn't just a simple vertical cut; it contained something else. Could you tell me what it was?"

Seeing that Sachi had turned into a walking encyclopedia of questions, Taiichi walked over and suddenly grabbed her head.

With the other person shrinking back, their cheeks flushed, they said meaningfully:

"I can't explain it either. Perhaps Shujian and Shiyuan can tell you the answer."

After saying this, Taiyi left the courtyard, and Shihe smiled knowingly and followed him.

Seeing that the two had already left, Zuoqie had no choice but to approach Shujian and say, "Senior brother, what you just saw..."

"A layer of waves enveloped Taiyi's blade."

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he leaned on his sword and left, while Dian Zuo immediately followed.

"What? What is 'Bo'? If you don't want to talk about it, don't just say it..."

Zuoqie puffed out his cheeks and looked at Shuxian, then angrily pointed at Shiyuan, as if he were complaining.

"Not a wave."

"Huh? What's that?"

Shugen also left the courtyard. After brushing past Zuoqie, he turned his back to her and calmly said:

"I saw it, a roaring tiger."
