Just when Guan Lingxiao imitated Suharaga's tone and read out the name of the move, the sheathless blade came out.
This knife was not thrown by Guan Lingxiao, nor was it knocked away by Suharaga. Instead, it fell vertically from his palm and fell to the ground.
He abandoned the sword with his right hand, drew the sword with his left hand to resist the opponent's incoming attack, leaned over and crashed into Suharaga's inner circle, all three actions were completed in one go.
This is a bit disadvantageous for Suharaga in a short-hand encounter, because at this distance, the distance of the Odachi is too long to be used, but the length of Guan Lingxiao's sword is just right, but he is not without a way to deal with it - he only needs to
He could force Guan Lingxiao back by taking half a step back and twisting the knife.
But what Guan Lingxiao said next made Suharaga even suspect that he was hearing hallucinations - if he had the concept of "hearing hallucinations".
"Suhara Itto-ryu·Original Technique·Katsuiai."
"Ah?" The Central Plains warriors, including He Nan, had their eyes bulging almost out of their sockets.
"How could it be..." Suhara Yota and other Suhara disciples all wanted to stand up and rush to the stage to watch.
"Impossible!" Suhara Ga was so angry that he was trembling all over. His whole body was sweating in cold weather, his hands and feet were cold, and tears almost fell down his face.
Katsuiai is not the most powerful single move in Suhara Itto-ryu, but it is the most practical. It can definitely be called the "face" of the Suhara family. The origin of "Itto-ryu" is closely related to this sword-drawing technique.
But now, it seems that the door plaque of Suhara Ittoryu Dojo was taken off by Guan Lingxiao and kicked to pieces.
Katsuiai, or even Iaijutsu, is not a unique secret skill. Every kendo school has dabbled in this field to some extent. Even if Guan Lingxiao steals a master, he can only be morally condemned. And if he is looking at
If you learn it just by watching, then you can only be envied - but to be defeated by someone using your own moves is a huge shame.
Very few people can clearly see Guan Lingxiao's movements, because they are too fast, and only a few masters can understand the geometry of Guan Lingxiao's actions at this moment - he can only see his upper body looking forward, and the left hand holding the sword is holding Su Yuan back.
He touched his wrist, pointed his right hand at the opponent's chest and "pulled" it, and instantly it turned red. A deep and frightening crack opened on both sides from the direction where his fingertips traced, and the skin and flesh collapsed together.
Suharaga once heard that in ancient Izumo Kingdom, there were swordsmen who performed the "sword-drawing technique that does not require a sheath", but you, Guan Lingxiao, are not specialized in practicing this - the sword-drawing technique that does not even require a sword.
Isn't that a little too much?
"How did you do that..." Suharaga, who was hit by a blow and collapsed to the ground, looked at Guan Lingxiao in disbelief. Although the opponent's shot was not an orthodox Iaijutsu, it had already surpassed him in speed.
"Surprise, attack unprepared - in my opinion, the essence of what you call 'Iai' can be summarized in these eight words. This is a technique that requires you to always be alert to the enemy's timing." Guan Lingxiao's right fingertips were slightly splashed.
He was wiping a few drops of blood with a handkerchief: "But unfortunately, even if you were careful, you were still a little slow."
Whether it's a knife, a sword, a gun, a stick, a fist or a kick, the only martial arts in the world that can't be defeated is speed.
"As for why you don't even need a knife..." Guan Lingxiao glanced at Suharaga and stretched out his right hand: "This is my knife."
The Queying Knife is definitely not just as simple as throwing away sword energy from a long distance. Guan Lingxiao just used his own arm as a knife to display this unique sword technique. The Yue Rong Dao has also demonstrated this method on the ring before.
, but no one thought that Guan Lingxiao could do it.
…………
The reason why it was considered "not serious" was because during the fight with Suharaga, Guan Lingxiao spent half of his energy thinking about one thing. Now that he has figured it out, he stopped acting——
He has too many things to hide, so why should he be afraid of revealing his ambition to dominate the martial arts world? There is nothing wrong with revealing that he can learn other people's moves at will, and there is nothing wrong with revealing that he has an alliance with Yue Rong Dao.
, so he chose to use the Shadow Sword combined with the opponent's Shengju Cooperation as a means to end the game.
But now it seems that Suharaga, who was seriously injured by himself, still has the strength to fight?
Suharaga, who was half-kneeling and half-sitting, silently held Mengmaru tightly again, with a very solemn expression, as if he was making a very important decision.
Guan Lingxiao thought he was going to draw his sword and fight again, but he was actually wrong.
So what is this important decision? The traditional performance of the Izumo people - seppuku.
The origin of seppuku can be traced back a long way, and most of the meanings of this act are based on "honor", radiating in all directions like tree roots. In this season, there are more and more reasons for seppuku.
For example, "to take the blame", "to apologize", "to not want to be humiliated", "to rebuke the lord to the death", etc. In short, the samurai of Izumo Kingdom regard "harassing" as a very serious thing.
You must keep your knees together and kneel down, draw the sword cleanly and neatly, and bend the body forward - only if you complete these three points, you will die like a warrior. There are many other rules, such as you cannot shout out, and your weapons cannot be used.
Some people with very high status will even bathe before committing seppuku in order to be dignified, wear gorgeous clothes and write poems or last words called "passing words", all in order to show their respect for glory.
emphasis and contempt for pain.
Of course, this method of self-destruction is much more bloody and cruel than hanging, self-cutting, etc., and the pain is extremely high. The most important thing is that you will not die on the spot with one knife, so there are many people in history who regretted it after their intestines came out.
People - In order to "preserve" the honor of these people, prevent the samurai who committed seppuku from having too miserable a death, and alleviate their pain, "introducing people" were developed in this process. Their main job was to remove the samurai after they committed seppuku.
It involves beheading with one sword to avoid losing one's composure. Usually, relatives and friends of the person committing seppuku are responsible for intervening, but there are also opponents who respect the person who commits seppuku and take the initiative to act as intermediary.
In the current situation, Suharaga obviously had no time to make serious preparations, and the idea of seppuku had just been born, so it was obvious that no one would intervene, and his chest and abdomen were already related to Ling Xiao's surgery.
In a sense, it even reduced his own workload - the constipated look on this old boy's face was just for psychological construction: "If you were defeated so ugly while you were alive, you must not be even more humiliated after you die."
!”
"Youta! Ryota! You have to take on the important task of revitalizing the Suhara family!" Suharaga suddenly shouted in his native language. It was obvious that he was explaining the funeral arrangements, and Suharaga was not a mother-in-law.
After saying that, he stabbed himself in the stomach.
As expected of a master of swordsmanship, the speed of committing seppuku is no slower than using a sword to kill an opponent. Moreover, considering the length of Mengwan, he deliberately held the blade of the sword with both hands and stabbed him back... However, in this moment,
Suharaga's wrist suddenly went numb, and he subconsciously let go of his hands. Mengmaru was directly pulled away by Guan Lingxiao, while his two sons, Yota and Ryota, also clamped their father's arms from behind, one on the left and the other on the right.
"You..." Suharaga looked shocked, with a hint of anger and humiliation.
"Don't commit suicide because of such a trivial matter..." Guan Lingxiao inserted Mengwan into the ground: "It would be a pity to give up your life just because of a mere failure in a martial arts competition."
"I have heard a little about the glory that you warriors believe in - but dying in battle is more glorious than committing suicide, right?" Guan Lingxiao continued.
Guan Lingxiao is the person who is absolutely qualified to say this. He is a guy who has "died once" and he naturally attaches extraordinary importance to life.
"Fart! You don't understand at all..." Suharaga's eyes widened in anger, and he almost wanted to burst into anger, but before he could finish his words, Guan Lingxiao slashed his neck with a knife and passed out.
"Don't forget this." Guan Lingxiao pulled out the dream pill and threw it to Suhara Youta, watching the two teenagers carry the unconscious Suharaga down.
Guan Lingxiao is not bloodthirsty, and of course he is not tired of killing. If it is a private fight with Suhara He, killing him will be enough, but it is still difficult to do it in front of so many people - even if you have
Unparalleled martial arts has won you the title of leader of the martial arts world, but if people are not sincerely convinced by you, it is just an empty show. What Guan Lingxiao wants is to completely make the martial arts world obey his orders, and he should be restrained in his behavior to reflect his own
Virtue.
Guan Lingxiao's behavior of defeating his opponent and then discouraging him from committing suicide can win the favor of everyone.
While Guan Lingxiao was still posing on the stage, someone made a dissatisfied voice: "Guan, have you had enough fun? It's my turn!"
Wei Kui jumped up to the high platform, as if the earth was shaking, and met Guan Lingxiao's eyes. The latter snorted coldly: "You are in a hurry to be reincarnated!" However, he also knew that Wei Kui had a difficult character, so he compared it with Guan Lingxiao.
After making a scolding gesture, he quickly left without saying anything more to him.
The person Wei Kui is about to face is his new master, Li Sui, who is known as "the fastest swordsman in the world".
