Hokkaido, Japan.

As the overcast sky drizzled as a man slowly walked out of the darkness in a prison in a small town in the northeastern part of the island, the bars of the prison were opened and he was escorted out of the prison as the prison guards congratulated.

The moment he walked out of the prison, the man hesitated, but finally walked out.

There was no one outside to greet them, let alone congratulate them, only the cold raindrops kept beating on their bodies.

Out of prison?

He couldn't help but look at his empty right arm and laugh at himself.

Slowly looking up at the sky, the fine raindrops hitting his face, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Memories go back to ten years ago in this moment.

……

His name is Beichen Yidao, and he is a descendant of the ancient Japanese swordsmanship school "Yidaoliu".

Since he was a child, his talent in swordsmanship has been extremely good, and it can be said that no one can match it in the swordsmanship hall opened by his father, including the senior brothers in the swordsmanship hall, in front of his swordsmanship talent, they all seem a little ashamed of themselves.

It can be said that it is not at all at the same level.

At that time, there were many schools of swordsmanship in Japan, but most of them were modern swordsmanship, and there was no actual combat lethality at all.

However, there are also many really powerful ancient swordsmanship schools, such as the Shinto Stream, the Ertian First-Class System, the Yin Stream System, the Juhe System, and so on.

These orthodox descendants of the ancient swordsmanship school basically disdain the company of those modern "gorgeous stream" swordsmanship, but they have mutual exchanges with the same ancient swordsmanship school, and there are two swordsmanship exchange competitions every year.

This competition is also divided into junior and adult grades.

At that time, Beichen was extremely talented, and when he first stepped on the junior competition, he swept the players of the same age and even older than him, and won the junior championship with a crushing attitude.

This extremely excellent talent made his father Hideo Kitajin extremely proud, and felt that Beichen Yidao had the ability to revitalize the "Yidao Stream" and carry forward the ancestral swordsmanship.

At that time, Beichen Yidao also thought so, he felt that he had the ability to win the first place in the junior group, so he would also have the strength to win the first place in the adult group in the future, and push the Yidao stream to the top of the ancient swordsmanship faction, becoming the pinnacle that all swordsmanship cultivators looked up to.

However, what Beichen didn't know was that it was his excellence that made his father Hideo Beichen gradually feel the pressure.

This pressure does not come from Beichen Yidao, but from the outside world.

In the ancient swordsmanship competition twice a year, the first place in the juvenile group basically has no suspense, and it was easily won by Beichen with a knife, but the penultimate first in the official group has never had any suspense, that is, his father "Beichen Hideo".

This contrast and disparity only made Hideo Kitajin proud of Beichen at first, and felt that he could reach heights that he had never reached.

But gradually, there were more voices from the outside world.

At that time, Hideo Beichen gradually became pressured, because in the communication between peers, he would always compare him with his son Beichen, and even he overheard others say it.

If Beichen Yidao was born in other genres, it would be perfect, and it would be really condescending to be born in the Beichen family.

For a descendant of traditional swordsmanship like him, this shame was unbearable.

After this, he would often recall the words he had spoken among his peers, and feel more and more that he was a coward and a weakling.

This kind of thought lingered in Hideo Kitachen's heart, unable to disperse, as if he had become a demon, always tormenting him.

It was at that moment that Beichen Yidao made a choice, and he decided to practice the ancestral swordsmanship classic [Yidaoliu Taiyuan Yuan].

At that time, in the ancient swordsmanship school, it was expressly forbidden to practice "sword intent shape swordsmanship", and it could not even be said to be forbidden, it should be said that it was afraid.

Because this kind of swordsmanship was too damaging to the body, they didn't know how their ancestors created this kind of swordsmanship, and how they could withstand the disability caused by their cultivation.

But they definitely don't have the ability to cultivate, and this is something that countless people have given them a warning from their bloody lessons.

Those swordsmen who practiced the ancient swordsmanship of sword intent were basically physically disabled, and even had mental problems, in short, without exception, none of them had a good end.

After many attempts by the predecessors, the descendants of these ancient swordsmanship schools no longer dared to touch those ancient swordsmanship and sealed them, but chose to practice the simplest sword moves and sword postures, and continued to circulate these most basic things as traditions.

Beichen Hideo naturally knew all this, but at that time, he had made up his mind, and he decided to prove it for himself, and let his son see that his father was not a coward, not a loser, and could become the real first.

Beichen Yidao naturally didn't know what his father did, all he noticed was that his father suddenly became cheerful, no longer as gloomy as before, and had a straight face, which was a good thing for Beichen Yidao.

However, the bad news came quickly, and one day, when Beichen returned from school with a knife, he saw a room full of blood the moment he entered the door.

At that time, Beichen's head buzzed with a knife, and he hurriedly rushed into the house.

Then he found his mother stupidly holding his father covered in blood, with despair on her face, and then grabbed the love sword "Heartless Pill" held in Beichen Hideo's hand in Beichen's unbelievable expression, and then wiped it on his neck.

At that time, Beichen Yidao was only 14 years old, and when he saw this scene, he knelt on the ground, how helpless he looked, how desperate, and how he hoped that everything in front of him was fake, it was in a dream.

He didn't even know what was going on, the family was still eating in harmony in the morning, why did it become like this when he came back at night.

At that time, Beichen's heart was already in chaos, and he suddenly thought of what his father said in the morning.

"Today I'm going to go to Juhe to try my swordsmanship again, and I will definitely win him this time!"

At that time, Beichen said "come on" and went to school, but he clearly remembered his father's words.

This made Beichen subconsciously think that in the swordsmanship competition, his opponent Iaitezuka killed his father.

And the mother, who loved her father, couldn't bear the pain of parting because of her father's death, so she chose to follow.

Although it is not a common occurrence in the ancient swordsmanship circle, it is occasionally the case that he is injured and dies during the competition.

Because ancient swordsmanship is a real murderous swordsmanship, not a flashy move.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the ancient swordsmanship circle, and his father often tells Beichen a knife. That is, the accidental injury in the competition, the opponent is not responsible, and the family is not allowed to claim compensation, otherwise it will be regarded as a permanent withdrawal from the ancient swordsmanship circle, and it will be a discredit to the ancestors.

Since you have joined this circle, you naturally have to abide by the rules of this circle, this rule protects not anyone, but the fundamental meaning of the existence of ancient swordsmanship, it is actual combat swordsmanship, if this rule disappears, then there will be no difference between ancient swordsmanship and modern swordsmanship, and it is just some move routines.

Therefore, this rule has always been imprinted in the heart of every ancient swordsmanship cultivator, which naturally includes Beichen Yidao, who has followed his father to learn swordsmanship since he was a child.

So Beichen obeyed his father's teachings, he didn't choose to call the police, but while crying bitterly, he buried the bodies of his father and mother in the courtyard of his house, and then took his father's "heartless pill" to find Iaitezuka for revenge.

Although Beichen Yidao's father has exercised his willpower since he was a child, Beichen Yidao, who is only 14 years old, faced his father's death, and his mother hanged herself in front of his eyes, and the coldness and despair he felt were deep in the bone marrow.

But he still mustered up his courage, because his father said that he was the heir of Beichen Yidaoliu, and he had to have the courage to face everything.

Although he knows that he may not be the opponent of Iai Tezuka, he wants revenge, and then uses swordsmanship to have another dignified duel to avenge his father!
