Every master who has reached the pinnacle has his own pride. He has overcome countless fatal situations and defeated countless opponents in cruel trials. Unless he is defeated head-on, he will never admit defeat. It is like being in a position of power.
Naoki Ii, at his peak, would rather plan to die with his old enemy Sorayama Kazuha than run away.
Kazuha Sorayama is Hiko Seijuro's best friend and his only friend, but this does not hinder the two people's confidence in their respective martial arts and their obsession with secretly comparing them. This is also the basis for the mutual transfer of martial arts between the two parties, and both want to go deeper.
Understand the secrets of the other sect and then use your own unique swordsmanship to understand and perfect the opponent's moves. If one of them does it first, wouldn't it be one step ahead of the other? This is a tacit understanding between the two, since neither can use the highest secrets.
When it comes to truly deciding between life and death, comparisons in other aspects become even more important.
And this time, 500 elite shogunate flags were almost destroyed by Sorayama Kazuha single-handedly. Faced with this fact, Higurashi Seijuro was really hard to accept. Even if his friend's swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world, he didn't expect it.
His spear skills were not that bad, which he could never compare with. Although he killed many pursuing enemies on the side, he knew that he could accomplish this even without his cooperation with Sorayama Kazuha, although it might be impossible.
Spend more energy.
Therefore, when he rushed into the Ii mansion, he killed far more enemies than Sorayama Kazuha. He even secretly decided that on the premise of ensuring Zonai's safety, he did not need to let his friends take action anymore, so as to make up for his "suffering" when fighting against the shogunate army.
inaction".
Kazuyo Sorayama frowned, staring at the leisurely figure of Ii Naobi in the room with some hesitation. In his perception, there was a strong sense of crisis that prevented him from moving forward. This was not the urgency of being locked by a long-range weapon, like a steel needle pricking his scalp.
, but as if the entrance to hell is ahead, and if you step in, you will never come out.
According to common sense, if Hiko Seijuro and himself team up, there is almost nothing in the world that can threaten their lives. I don't know what powerful traps Ii Naomi has laid waiting for him, but no matter how big the crisis is, he can't defeat Sana.
Reality so close at hand!
Kazuyo Sorayama tightened his grip on the knife. Due to killing too many enemies, the grease and plasma made Captain Hikari's knife handle a little slippery. When Higu saw his friend frowning and stopping, he couldn't help but raise his vigilance and asked in a low voice: "
What? Is there an ambush?"
Kazuyo Sorayama shook his head: "Please do me a favor. I will deal with the old thief Jingyi myself, and you stay here."
"Is it dangerous inside?" Hiko was keenly aware of the loopholes in Kazuyo Sorayama's words. This friend who had never known politeness in the past actually used the word "please" this time. He dared to use the word "Hiten Sword Style Thirteen"
The reputation passed down from generation to generation is definitely the first time I heard Sorayama Kazuha say this. And since we have reached the last level together, we can't keep it to ourselves. My friends must have sensed something!
"No!" "This is my business, you have done enough." Sorayama Kazuyo sighed.
"You are fast. You can go rescue Sana later, and I will be responsible for killing the old thief." Higu ignored Sorayama Kazuha again, strode directly up the steps, and stepped into the house.
Kazuyo Sorayama had no choice but to follow. The moment he entered the house, he squinted his eyes and raised his perception to the highest level. The indescribable black and white grid world appeared in his mind again, but strangely, the things that used to represent crises in the past appeared in his mind.
The red target did not appear, which was obviously contrary to the extremely dangerous information he had just received. He could not help but keep a close eye on the every move of everyone in the room, especially Naoki Ii.
"Husband! Leave quickly, there is danger here!" Although Sanai didn't know where the specific danger was, she could see the decisive look of Naoki Ii's orders throughout the whole process. She could be sure that the shogunate would not stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
The old man must have extremely powerful killing moves.
Sorayama Kazuha ignored Sana. When he saw for the first time that the girl's injury was serious, but there was no danger of her life, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said coldly to Ii Naobi: "I'm here, you can
dying."
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am not in a hurry. Someone wants to compete with you first." Ii Naobi looked smiling, but there was no trace of smile in his voice.
Kawanishi Yoshiaki pulled out two swords, blocked him in front of Ii Naomi, and shouted at Sorayama Kazuha behind Hiko: "I am the Hikone Domain swordsman Kawanishi Yoshiaki, Sorayama Kazuha, do you dare to fight me fairly?
"
"Haha, you are the first person I have ever seen who claims to be a swordsman." He blocked Sorayama Kazuyo further than before. With his body shape and clothing characteristics, this obstruction almost made it impossible for people in the room to see Sorayama Kazuha behind him.
He casually waved the homemade long sword in his hand at the corner of Ye's clothes, and his fierce fighting spirit burst out: "You are not worthy of being Kongshan's opponent. Your opponent is me, Feiten Yuken Ryuhi Furuseijuro, an unknown swordsman."
."
After saying that, Hiko immediately made a sword-drawing stance and locked onto Kawashi Ryokei. This kind of fighting spirit that was almost substantive made Kanishi Ryokei dare not make any move. At this time, the Hikone Domain swordsman already knew
, I am afraid that my plan for Sorayama Kazuyo will no longer be realized...
"Lord, take care!" He muttered silently and then gathered all his energy. He held a big sword in his right hand and a small knife in his left hand, forming a two-sword stance, and faced Higu Seijuro fearlessly.
Many people think that the sword held with two hands is more powerful and the attack distance is longer, but on the contrary, in the actual combat of a strong martial artist, the sword held with two hands will be less powerful than the two-handed sword master, because the most important point in swordsmanship is to use the right hand as the fulcrum.
Use the three fingers of your left hand to control the tail of the handle to drive the blade, using the principle of leverage. Through the conversion of force, the moves can become more bizarre and unpredictable;
The two-sword style is different. It has a large and upright posture. Holding the handle with one hand and swinging the sword not only has a longer attack distance, but also has greater power. At the same time, the short sword in the left hand can also be used for defense, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
But why are there not many swordsmen who have practiced the two-sword style to a certain level? Because it is easy to lose sight of one thing when fighting with two swords. It is ten thousand times more difficult than drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand! In a life-and-death fight, once you are not focused, even if there is even a trace of negligence, you will
Being killed by the opponent after catching a flaw! He suffered heavy casualties at the beginner stage.
As a master who has been immersed in the two-sword style for nearly thirty years, Kawashi Yoshiaki has obviously practiced the two-sword style to the extreme. Especially in head-to-head duels, he is actually the nemesis of assassin-style swordsmanship such as Batojutsu!
Therefore, even though the less-famous Hideko Seijuro was weaker than the sword master Sorayama Kazuha behind him, it was not to the extent that an opponent with the price of Kawanishi Yoshiaki would abandon his sword and run away. Instead, it gave him the thought of "Maybe he can defeat the opponent in front of him."
After defeating the opponent, you can once again bring up the idea of fighting Sorayama Kazuha."
How could Bigu, who was good at reading minds, not see what the other party was thinking! I just didn’t expect that such an unknown person would dare to ignore me!
It seems that he lost to Sorayama again this time... Higu sighed inwardly.
