Li Yao smiled; it really was him.
This Japanese man is Yagyu Tajima-no-kami!
In fact, when Li Yao first saw this Japanese man, he guessed that he was Yagyu Tajima-no-kami.
Having acquired martial arts skills such as "The God of Slaughter's One-Slash Slash" and "Snowflakes Falling on Earth," he became even more certain of this person's identity.
Having confirmed the identity of the Japanese, Li Yao also confirmed one thing.
Zhu Wushi has been pretending to be crazy all along!
Chapter 173 Snow Falls on Earth, Yagyu Tajima no Kami
That day, at the Jinyiwei yamen, Zhu Wushi learned that Su Xin and Gu Santong actually had a son.
He was so shocked by this that he suddenly ran away in a mad manner.
Not long after, rumors spread throughout the capital that the Imperial Uncle Zhu Wushi had gone mad due to a heartbreak.
At that time, Li Yao had already concluded that Zhu Wushi was faking madness.
Given Zhu Wu's stoic and patient nature, it's impossible for him to go mad so easily.
Clearly, Zhu Wushi was feigning madness on the surface, but was actually plotting something big in secret.
The appearance of Yagyu Tajima-no-kami has now confirmed Li Yao's guess.
Because Yagyu Tajima-no-kami and Akane are wearing the same pair of pants.
Zhu Wushi once reached an agreement with Yagyu Tajima-no-kami: if Tajima-no-kami helped him seize the throne, he would help Tajima-no-kami become the leader of the martial arts world in Japan.
In the original drama, Yagyu Tajima no Kami repeatedly helped Zhu Wushi assassinate martial arts figures, then framed Guihai Yidao, making Guihai Yidao a public enemy of the martial arts world.
Recently, Li Yao learned from the Jinyiwei's intelligence network that Guihai Yidao had mastered the "Dominating the World" technique and had become a demon.
Martial arts masters Qilinzi and Jian Jingfeng, as well as Liaokong from Shaolin Temple, all died one after another because of Guihai Yidao.
Now, Guihai Yidao has become a public enemy of the martial arts world.
Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang, worried about Gui Haiyidao, went south to find him.
Subsequently, dozens of tragic incidents suddenly occurred in Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture and other places.
At this critical moment, Zhengde ordered Li Yao to investigate the series of tragedies.
It is likely that Zhu Wushi was secretly manipulating things.
Today, most of the key figures have left the capital.
In the capital, besides Cao Zhengchun, only the 'mad' Zhu Wushi remained.
Given Cao Zhengchun's intelligence, he would likely be deceived by Zhu Wushi.
Zhu Wushi might even use his madness to lull Cao Zhengchun into a false sense of security, and then take the opportunity to kill Cao Zhengchun.
In this way, Zhu Wushi would face no obstacles if he wanted to start a rebellion.
Li Yao had anticipated this.
In order to reassure Zhu Wushi and encourage him to launch a rebellion.
He readily agreed to Zhengde's request and left the capital to investigate the series of tragedies.
He guessed that Zhu Wushi would definitely take the opportunity to send someone to assassinate him.
Sure enough, he was ambushed today.
What he didn't expect was that Zhu Wushi would send Yagyu Tajima-no-kami to assassinate him.
Li Yao slowly walked towards Yagyu Tajima-no-kami and asked with a smile, "You, were you sent by Zhu Wushi?"
But Ma Shou lay on the ground, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Li Yao continued, "If I'm not mistaken, what you just used was the Yagyu family's secret martial art from Japan: God of Slaughter One-Slash Slash!"
But Ma Shou's eyes widened, filled with astonishment.
Li Yao continued, "Then you must be Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, the killing weapon under Zhu Wushi."
At this moment, Ma Shou's eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, filled with terror.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "Let me remove your fig leaf for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he brandished his sword.
Before Tajima-no-kami could react, a sharp blade of energy slashed through the air.
With a tearing sound, the black cloth covering Ma Shou's face was ripped in two.
Immediately, a gloomy and cold face appeared.
Because Tajima no Kami spent his life with killing, he was a cold-blooded and ruthless killing machine who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Therefore, his face was filled with the vicissitudes of life, a sense of heartlessness and despair.
At this moment, Ma Shou's eyes were filled with astonishment.
He had no idea that Li Yao could control his strength so precisely.
The slash Li Yao had just thrown tore the black cloth covering his face, but it hadn't hurt him in the slightest.
Such precise methods were unprecedented in his life.
It seems that dying at Li Yao's hands was not unjust!
"Kill me!"
But Ma Shou knew he was doomed, and said something very resolute.
He couldn't complete the mission and wouldn't be able to explain it to Zhu Wushi, so he might as well die.
Li Yao nodded appreciatively and said, "Although your character is not very good, you would rather die than beg for mercy, which is indeed very courageous. I will let you die a quick death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed down with his sword.
puff!
A martial arts master of his generation in Japan, the head of the Yagyu Shinkage school, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, ultimately died by Li Yao's sword.
At this moment, the seven Imperial Guards were still locked in a fierce battle with the other fifteen men in black.
However, three or four of the fifteen men in black have already been injured.
It seems that it won't be long before these men in black are dealt with by the seven Imperial Guards.
However, Li Yao didn't want to wait any longer.
Then he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Orders must be obeyed!
Upon hearing Li Yao's order, the seven Imperial Guards immediately sheathed their swords and moved aside in unison.
Immediately, Li Yao leaped into the air.
The knife in his hand spun rapidly in front of him.
Then, he slashed at the fifteen men in black.
Wow!
Countless blades of true energy, transformed from the Great Dao, rained down on the fifteen men in black like swirling snowflakes, leaving no blind spots.
Snowflakes are falling on earth!
This is Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's ultimate move.
Originally, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami had the opportunity to use this killing move.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Li Yao's strength.
Before he could even unleash this deadly move, he was severely injured by Li Yao.
Now, Li Yao is using Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's killer move to deal with the people Tajima-no-kami brought.
This is called treating someone in their own way!
Immediately afterwards, screams and wails were heard as fifteen men in black were struck by blades and died tragically.
The seven Imperial Guards were dumbfounded.
The commander dealt with the fifteen men in black with a single move.
That's so awesome!

Songshan Sword Technique *1!
...
That's right, it's the Songshan Sword Technique.
This world of the Ming Dynasty also incorporates the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
However, the martial arts prowess in this world of Swordsman is much higher than that in the original novel.
