The man in front of him has absolutely no samurai style. He is wearing a large light blue gi, wearing wooden clogs with bare feet. His hair is loose and not tied up, and he has not shaved off the Tsukiyo haircut that was popular among samurai in this era.
The light black stubble that grows out naturally gives an indescribable sense of vicissitudes to his extremely handsome and cold face.
He was lying comfortably on the straw mat, taking a sip of wine from time to time. He did not reveal a trace of the majesty of a sword master, but more like those good-for-nothing ministers in Kyoto who had nothing to do all day long and were dissolute.
The brother and sister couldn't help but be disappointed. In their minds, a swordsman should be as imposing as their father, and at least he should be serious and solemn. How could he look like such a lazy waste.
"Your Excellency Kazuyo Sorayama, my father was very happy to hear that you were called the Sword Master. He believed that having someone climb to the pinnacle of swordsmanship again after two hundred years was a call for the revival of Japan, so he specially ordered my brother and sister to personally invite him.
I never expected that Your Excellency would avoid seeing you. Looking at your appearance now, I can't help but wonder whether your so-called sword master is in vain?" Chiba Eitaro raised his face and continued to reprimand rather rudely.
Sorayama Kazuyo's good mood was completely disturbed by these words. Without even looking at it, he pointed directly in the direction of the door and said coldly: "Get out."
"What?!" Chiba Eitaro couldn't believe it. He hadn't experienced this naked feeling of humiliation for a long time. Ever since he became a master of swordsmanship, even his father had become kind to him. After Kazuyo Sorayama said these words
, he felt that the eyes of several people around him were looking at him with pity, causing his face to be instantly covered with a dark purple color like a ripe eggplant.
This is not just a matter of his own honor and disgrace. He represents his father Chiba Shusaku. Sorayama Kazuha's word "go" also brought humiliation to the family and the school. In this era, the nobles valued nothing more than "humiliation".
If you are humiliated, you are even willing to die to avenge your humiliation at any time.
He tried his best to suppress the burning anger, and said with difficulty: "Get up, draw your sword!" After saying that, he took a few steps back, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and pointed the blade directly at a leaf in the empty mountain.
A fight to the death attitude.
The young girl Chiba Sana also retreated behind her brother. Although she didn't say a word, her attitude of standing solemnly with the handle of the sword in her hand already showed that the two of them would not let it go. They would either stand up and apologize immediately, or draw the sword. There was no third way.
Can go.
Ohno Fuji was shocked. He had prayed to the Bodhisattva thousands of times in his heart, but the two elders were competing with each other. He expected that the Bodhisattva was also very distressed by this, so he simply ignored him and killed one of them casually.
He cautiously advised: "Master Chiba, please calm down. Senior Kongshan has no ill intentions. He has always..."
"The first one is blocking us from entering, and the second one is humiliating my brother with words. If we just go out, it is better for the whole family to get out of Edo and disband the dojo. Director Ohno does not need to say anything, just watch from the sidelines." In order to prevent the brother from leaking the gathered crowd.
Momentum, Chiba Sana replied crisply, as a daughter of the samurai family, she is usually the most polite, how can she retreat in the face of such an insult?
Ohno Fuji was helpless. He turned to Sorayama Kazuha and begged: "Senior, please be merciful, Chiba-sama cannot die!"
Chiba Eitaro was so angry that he was about to burst out of his lungs! Okay, the secret of your Kongshan Kianliu is the art of killing people with Qi. By saying this, don’t you mean that I will definitely die? A surge of anger was suppressed by him, but the momentum was out of thin air.
Climbing a little higher, the scorching murderous aura caused the temperature of the surrounding air to rise.
"Shut up!" Chiba Sana also yelled angrily.
Sorayama Kazuha sneered: "No one is immune to death. When you point your sword at others, you must be prepared to die. Ohno, what exactly have you been practicing swordsmanship over the years?" Ohno Fujinono's displeasure
Dare to answer.
Kazuyo Sorayama sat up and looked up at Eitaro Chiba for the first time. He was not affected by his momentum at all and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Eitaro Chiba, you have to think clearly. After you draw the sword, what will happen to you?"
Must die."
Katsura Kogoro endured Chiba Eitaro's violent murderous intention and reluctantly got in between the two of them. Based on his understanding of Sorayama Kazuha these days, although this teacher behaved like he didn't care about anything most of the time,
In fact, he was an extremely ruthless person at heart. No matter what he did, Chiba Eitaro had almost no hope of leaving the dojo alive.
He spoke with difficulty: "Senior Chiba, after all, it is your brother and sister who acted unreasonably. Wouldn't it be contrary to the way of the samurai to draw the sword with anger? Moreover, your brother and sister came here to convey the goodwill of Lord Chiba Shusaku. Once the sword is real
After a desperate fight, there is endless hatred in the blood-stained dojo. I hope you will think twice. If you still can't calm down your anger, I hope that both parties can switch to wooden swords and invite respected referees to make an appointment for a formal discussion. I wonder if you can think about it carefully."
Katsura Kogoro's words not only explained the reasons for the hostility between the two parties, but also revealed the serious consequences of drawing a sword in anger. The most rare thing is that he gave a solution that is acceptable to both parties at the moment. It can be said to be well-founded and well-founded at such a young age.
He began to show his ability to influence the general trend in the future, and his IQ was at par with the two men who were always talking with swords in the field.
"What Kogoro said is, Chiba-sama, Sorayama-senpai, let's fight with wooden swords..."
"There is no need to compete. You can go and let Chiba Shusaku come." Sorayama Kazuha's words immediately completely destroyed the results of Kogoro's efforts. The Chiba brothers and sisters, who were originally a little tempted, were completely determined to fight to the death.
With determination, Eitaro Chiba shouted: "Go away! Get up and draw your sword!"
Katsura Kogoro let out a long sigh, walked to Kazuyo Sorayama, leaned over and said softly: "Teacher, this Chiba Eitaro cannot die. Even if the teacher himself is not afraid of the power of Beichen Itto Ryu, he still has to think about the dojo, unless you plan to stay.
If you stay in the dojo for a lifetime, you will never be able to protect the disciples in the sect. Once you leave, Director Ono, Torataro, and Kira, the two masters, will definitely die."
Ichiyo Sorayama was noncommittal, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that several people in the gym had saved his life after all and had a deep relationship with him. He finally nodded and said to Eitaro Chiba: "Okay, I don't
To kill you, take action."
Chiba Eitaro only felt that his anger had been suppressed to the extreme, and his murderous intent was as uncontrollable as a huge wave. He no longer cared whether Kazuyo Sorayama was ready or not, whether he had a sword in his hand or not. All the killing intent in his eyes was focused on the center of the opponent's head.
While raising his sword, he stepped towards Ichiyo Sorayama.
I saw him starting to raise his Qi from his hips, and an extremely strong force was transmitted from his waist and abdomen to his upper arms. The exposed black arm was like cast iron, containing countless explosive power; he raised his sword high,
Qie Xian pointed directly at the sky, and his whole body was lifted up, like the mythical god of war Susano'o who raised the Ama Congun Sword.
But under such power, his elbows and wrists stretched abnormally, and when he guided the long knife over his head, it reached its speed limit, and the entire blade seemed to have a double image in everyone's eyes; using this force as a guide, his right wrist
Lock the final angle and vibrate the knife down consistently!
At this time, the straight line distance between the toes of his right foot and the center of Kazuha Sorayama's forehead was exactly four feet. This sword combines Chiba Eitaro's strength, speed, and precision. It is the strongest sword he has ever wielded in his life. Among them, "You can do whatever you want."
"No matter what, I will kill him with one sword", the indomitable thought is deeply integrated with the profound meaning of One-Sword Style.
This move is called "Kirikaku", which is the source of all swordsmanship in Beichen Ittoryu. It is praised as the strongest attack technique in "The Complete Book of Beichen Ittoryu Swordsmanship". It seems to be a simple strike to the head, but when you raise your arms,
The opponent's retreat and counterattack routes have been calculated in front of the knife. It is really unavoidable and unstoppable. Once this move is used, even if there is a stubborn rock in front of it, it will be split into two!
If you want to break this move, you cannot let it complete the entire action. Generally, you use your body skills to avoid the frontal area where the momentum is strongest, and adopt a wandering strategy when the opponent raises the sword to the highest point. Once you adopt this method, you will face the situation where the momentum will fall.
Even in an inferior situation, the opponent can lure him away without making a move, and he will still inevitably be defeated in the end.
Kazuyo Sorayama was still sitting crookedly at this time, watching the opponent complete the entire action. When the opponent raised the knife over the top, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes, which was keenly captured by the girl Chiba Sana who had been observing him closely.
arrive.
Even if the father faced his brother's sword, he couldn't sit on the ground and deal with it, right? Why? Wanting to die? No, this posture, this attitude, could it be...
"Ah! No! This is the Mystic Sword!" She screamed like a cuckoo crying blood, waking up everyone who was immersed in this move. At this time, Saito Eitaro's sword wind had even blown away
Lifting Kongshan's disheveled hair, revealing a pair of eyes as bright as stars underneath...
