What boy is this who blocks my way, his hand upon his sword?
A challenge then! Another pup, who will not be ignored.
He lusts for glory, longs for fame. He wants it all today.
He thinks an aging swordsman will be weak and easy prey.
[Refrain]
It's beat and bind, cut and thrust, eye and arm and breath,
nerve and brain, steel and blood, the swordsman's dance of death.
Now hear me boy, and listen well before you draw the blade:
If you would step that dance of death, the piper must be paid.
It's true, I'm not now what I was, my hair and beard are gray.
But if you'd see tomorrow's dawn, best walk away today.
[Refrain]
You think your youthful speed and zeal will be the death of me?
My head holds far more deadly tricks than you will live to see.
My wrist and arm are tempered steel while yours are forming clay.
I killed my first before your birth, I'll kill you if you stay.
[Refrain]
It's all for naught, your sword leaps out. Mine follows in reply.
It's sad, for I know what you don't. I know that you can die.
...
No time for words, so ponder this while choking on your blood:
Old swordsmen get to be that way by being very good.
[Refrain]

Thanks for the chapter!
Sheese, don't assassins know you're not suppose to interrupt someone when they're taking a leak? Kind of wonder if Grandpa demon did that deliberately because had to go, was trying to draw assassins out, or both?
Don't get comment looking down on using swords on battlefield instead of blades because isn't a sword a type of blade?
Anyone else think guy in wheelchair is Mu's father or grandfather? Has that same habit as Mu where signals sniper to start shooting by snapping his fingers. Although he was pushing his abilities too much. If he could send the bullets into the assassins head with his ability that'd be putting his money where his mouth is. But not same thing if signal sniper to shoot them even if using same bullets he stole from assassins. Surprised sniper didn't have any company going after him.
Think type when Mountain Demon was talking cause said "Should we F4 enlist in the army again?" Unless the F signifies something should be either four or 4. Considering it's probably been ten to twenty years since the wheelchair guy hid those energy cells are those things still worth anything much less still usable after so many years?
As for last scene author seems to like cliffhangers so guy might or might not die or have an important role. Partially depends on whether the material would really strengthen alliance and screw Daxia a little or a lot if taken. Unless the escorts were already destroyed they're probably just a fleet supply ship doing a run when ran into trouble. Unfortunately have no idea who they are, where they are, or who's suppose to get material so hard to say what impact on story their success or failure will have on big picture.
