Chapter 201 Declaration of Victory

Suhara Itto-ryu - Katsuiai!

The moment the two sides stood still, Suhara Yota's eyes suddenly changed, and then he swung his strongest sword!

Iai is one of the ancient martial arts of the Izumo Kingdom. In the process of development and improvement, it is also called "Batōshu" or "Sitting" and other names. It is both a move and a school.

The origin of this martial art can be said to be very interesting, because the etiquette of receiving visitors in the Izumo Kingdom usually involves both parties sitting in a kneeling position at a close distance, even if the two parties are negotiating. At this distance, those who are proficient in Iaijutsu

A swordsman can draw his sword to kill his opponent at the moment the battle begins. And even while remaining standing, the user of Iaijutsu can rely on the movement of his feet to expand the range of his attack.

The most powerful Iaijutsu is the draw sword that can definitely kill the opponent first within the range of the sword light!

How could it be possible to attack like this? This was the feeling of most of the samurai present when they saw Yota Suhara draw his sword - it's not that they thought the timing chosen by Yota Suhara to attack was despicable, it was just that they simply couldn't understand this kind of "drawing out the sword"

Even a master of swordsmanship like Li Sui did not easily affirm the effect of this blow.

The usual fighting techniques will strive for victory after the swords cross, but "Iaido" does the opposite. What they pursue is to determine the outcome before the two sides cross swords. It can be said that it is a "fatal weapon".

"One strike" is a sword technique practiced to the extreme.

Surprise, surprise, and unpreparedness, these eight words can be said to be the true meaning of the art of Iai.

As the eldest son of Suhara Ga, Yota Suhara also represented the Suhara Itto-ryu and even participated in the Izumo Kingdom's Young Heroes Association. His attainments in Iaijutsu are of course of a considerable level.

Iai is striving for victory, and the sword is striving for victory. The Odachi sword in Suhara Yota's hand is as long as a pair of spears and approaches Xiao Kelong's chest. A pure arc opens out of thin air, and blood splashes out even before the sword shines.

Dispersed.

Xiao Kelong was hit head-on by this extremely fast knife, and his body flew backwards.

"So fast..." The moment he felt the pain, Xiao Kelong murmured in his heart. At the most critical moment, Xiao Kelong's instinct saved his life. He quickly took a step back, so the knife did not directly hit him.

He split him into two pieces diagonally along his shoulders, and when he was about to fall from the ring, he thrust his two guns into the bricks and was able to restrain his body.

Suhara Yota did not pursue, but brought the blade in front of him with his backhand, and gently blew away the blood stains remaining on the sharp edge of Otachi's sword.

"This Japanese boy... is so strong?" Of course, the people of the Jinghong Sect were the most shocked. They knew Xiao Kelong's strength best, but Suhara Yota's amazing sword attack really made them unable to believe it.

"Can you be so fast?" Chen Longque poked Yan Chunlai beside him with his elbow.

Yan Chunlai's expression was rare and solemn: "If the sword has been drawn out, of course I can control such a speed - but if it is to make such an attack at the moment of drawing out the sword... I can't. This technique is

It takes quite a lot of hard training to master, but our swordsmanship has never been used in this way."

"If you have to pretend to blow the blood on the knife every time you cut it, you will die miserably." Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was Xiao Kelong, who was almost killed with a knife, and in

clamor.

Suhara Yota is not very proficient in Chinese language, but he can tell something from the other party's expression, especially the words "knife", "blood" and "death". He can still understand the meaning.

, he frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he found an idiom that could express his mood at the moment: "You are not ashamed to speak loudly."

"It's up to you." Xiao Kelong looked down at the injury on his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Then, a shot came!

Xiao Kelong thrust out a spear with his right hand, and then another with his left hand. When Yota Suhara raised his sword to block him, the first shot from Xiao Kelong's right hand barely missed...

A false shot!

The first shot was a feint, but Suhara Yota was well prepared for it, and the second shot was also a feint. The three and four shots were almost at the same time, and Suhara Yota actually saw through them at the same time. And he was parrying the third shot.

Then he swung his sword with his backhand and broke Xiao Kelong's fourth shot!

Suhara Itto-ryu, although its name contains "One Sword", it is definitely not a sect that shows off just one sword.

In fact, this school is a sect that values ​​"opportunity" very much. Iai's extremely fast sword is only part of the means to win, but their mainstream style of winning does not rely on this method.

If you want to practice sword skills, you must first practice eye skills. The purpose of Suhara Itto-ryu is to first capture the opponent's flaws and then launch a fatal killing move. Iaijutsu is to seize the opportunity. What Suhara Yota currently performs is naturally "

Defensive counterattack”!

Of course, there are swordsmen who practice the two-sword style in Izumo Kingdom. Although they are gradually declining due to the disadvantages of dual-wielding weapons, stubborn sects like the Jinghong Sect are still surviving in the cracks, so Suhara Yota knows how to "use a single weapon"

The skill of "breaking the double" is not surprising.

And there is a terrible fact still waiting for Xiao Kelong - whether facing the two-sword style or the long weapon, in the "catalog" level competition, Suhara Yota's winning rate is 100%.

The martial arts schools of Izumo Kingdom are different from the prosperous folk who estimate the strength of warriors by "who defeated whom" or "whose move can reach what level of power." There is no such thing as "second-rate" or "first-rate".

" and "super first class" are extremely vague definition methods. Every kendo sect of Izumo Country that has been passed down to this day has an evaluation method with different names but the essence is not far from each other.

Taking the Suhara Itto-ryu as an example, the evaluation of a disciple's strength is usually divided into four stages - entry, paper cutting, catalog and the highest level of "no permission", and Suhara Yota's strength lies in the catalog.

.

Most of the people who can get the title of "Wuxo Jiden" are masters like Suharaga, and there are only a few people who can get this title before the age of twenty, and they can do it with one hand.

You can count them.

Therefore, the moment Yota Suhara saw Xiao Kerong's weapon, he knew that he was a "must win" in this battle and there was no possibility of failure.

Because he understands the weaknesses of the Two Blade Style very well.

The Jinghong Sect has a variety of dual-wielding weapons. Jinghong Siyu alone has practiced three types of weapons: knives, swords, and axes. If Li Fei's short sword is also used differently from Yan Chunlai's long sword, that is

With four complete weapons, plus Xiao Kelong's double spears and other hooks, maces, hammers, etc., the difficulty of both teaching and practice is among the highest in the martial arts world.

Xiao Kelong changed his sword from a sword to a gun. Logically speaking, there should be a long "adaptation period", but in fact, apart from having to practice marksmanship again, Xiao Kelong had no other discomfort.

Because the essence of dual-wielding remains unchanged, whether both hands hold the same weapon, or weapons as different as swords and shields, the way they fight is to attack with one hand and defend with the other, blocking and attacking at the same time.

.

The hand responsible for attacking is usually the dominant hand, so Suhara Yota blocked Xiao Kelong's right pistol, and counterattacked when facing his left hand, which most people have difficulty getting used to.

It is true that the user of dual-wielding weapons will never neglect the training of the other hand, but the power of one hand is difficult to be greater than that of both hands. This is a natural weakness that cannot be broken with force.

skillful.

"Is this all you can do?" At this moment of change in attack and defense, the two people's voices turned out to be exactly the same.

But... the person who was hit was Suhara Yota, and his jaw was hit by Xiao Kerong's raised leg.

The young swordsman from Izumo Kingdom who landed on the ground quickly adjusted his stance and sheathed his sword.

"The same moves don't work for me." Xiao Kelong taunted with a crooked mouth, and then rushed towards the sword light.

Suhara Yota's first sword attack indeed put a lot of pressure on him, and he knew very well that even if he still practiced sword skills, he would never be able to reach that level.

But in this arena, it's not who has better sword skills who will win - because he can also rely on the unique movement skills of the Jinghong Sect! Xiao Kelong has this confidence, he saw the flaw in this sword!

Suhara Yota, draw your sword!

It’s that extremely fast Iai again, as if he’s about to cut off a flying swallow!

"Suhara Itto-ryu - Tsubakiri!"

And what Xiao Kelong is going to use now, to avoid this sword, is Yan Chun's self-created "Yan Huiyou".

Just looking at the name, Xiao Kelong's side is undoubtedly very unlucky, just like Luofengpo and Juelong Ridge.

But Xiao Kelong surpassed this ominous sword light, and he barely avoided this fatal killing in a ghostly manner!

But what is unexpected is that after Xiao Kelong broke through the sword circle, he received another wound on his body. From the perspective of others, it was as if he had bumped into Suhara Yota's sword on his own initiative...

"Pretty good 'Sealing Flash'." After seeing his son's clever response, Suharaga praised the other disciples, "Heijiro, Ryota, you must learn from Ryota's judgment. In fact, the two of you

His swordsmanship is not weaker than that of Yang Tai, but he is still inferior to him in judging the battle situation and grasping opportunities."

The sealing flash can be said to be a move or a skill. In simple words, it is "prejudgment". Suhara Youta's "Swallow Cut" is also a feint, and the sealing flash that follows is also a false move.

Flashing is the real attack.

On the other side of the auditorium, Li Sui also gave the same affirmation: "What a bold judgment... The attack with the sword was deliberately leaving a trap, just waiting for Xiao Kelong to take advantage of this loophole to attack

, if the child retreats a little or does not step into that trap, Suhara Yota will be in crisis instead..."

Feng Shan's hit gave Suhara Yota great confidence, and his offensive became more intense. However, the situation of Xiao Kelong, who was hit hard twice, was not so good, although there were no flaws in any of his moves.

, but it always gives people a feeling that they are struggling to support themselves and are at the end of their rope.

"Do you think Xiao Kelong will lose?" The person standing next to Li Sui was actually Wei Kui. Although Li Sui did not say that he would accept Wei Kui as his disciple, the two of them lived together as if they were partners every day.

"Even if we can hold on for a while, we will lose sooner or later." Li Sui shook his head: "That Suhara Yota is really strong, so it seems that he might have a chance to win the championship."

"So that's what you think..." Wei Kui showed a secretive smile, and he actually imitated He Nan's tone and spoke: "I agree with the second half of your sentence, that Suhara Yota may really have the chance to win the championship.

Ability, but Xiao Kelong is not a guy who gives up easily..."

Li Sui smiled helplessly. He knew what Wei Kui's character was like and thought that Wei Kui had put himself into Xiao Kelong's situation: "I don't want to admit defeat, but some things won't happen if I don't want to.

…”

Just when Li Sui was halfway through what he said, the situation on the ring changed again. Li Sui also swallowed the second half of his sentence and returned his eyes to the two people who were fighting fiercely.

"It seems that your strength is nothing more than this." Xiao Kelong started to get nervous again.

Suhara Yota shook his head. He didn't understand Xiao Kelong's tough-talking behavior: "Based on my past experience and the current situation, I am bound to win this battle." Of course, Xiao Kelong only listened.

I understood the last part of his words. "Your speed is too slow... If you can't dodge my slash, you will only die."

"Well... in that case, I'll symbolically speed it up..."

At this critical moment, Xiao Kelong actually let go of the gun in his left hand, then tore his trouser legs from the knee down, and took off the cloth strip tightly tied to the skin of his calf.

Several collision sounds were heard, and several thick iron lumps fell at Xiao Kelong's feet.
