Chapter 220 All the masters of the Trial Guard Hall vs. the great swordsman Qian of the Two-sword Style
Ye Daosaburo【7000】
After the game started, Kinoshita Mai's eyes basically never left Aoto's body.
She stared intently at Qingdeng's every move.
The expression on his face continued to undergo rich changes as Qingdeng's situation changed.
When Qingdeng was surrounded by people, she looked nervous.
When Qingdeng saved the day, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Qingdeng defeated his opponent, she smiled broadly.
With her shy temperament, she would only be able to express such abundant emotions on her pretty face only in the presence of Qingden and in rare situations... such as when her face is covered with a scarf or mask.
After seeing Aoto defeat the last opponent in front of him, Kawashima, Kinoshita Mai was so happy and excited that she softly exclaimed "Great, great" and subconsciously clapped her hands continuously.
Her voluptuous legs.
In ancient times, there was Xin Qiji who slapped all over the railing, and now there is Kinoshita Wu who slaps his fleshy legs fiercely.
The loud sound of "papapapa" leg slapping caused many onlookers nearby to turn their heads to take a look.
For the introverted and shy Kinoshita Mai, the looks from the people around her were like a knife cutting her flesh.
Kinoshita Mai, whose pretty face suddenly turned red and wisps of steam seemed to float from her head, quickly arched her waist, tightened her shoulders, lowered her head, and "shrunk" herself as much as possible.
"Yes, I'm sorry... I disturbed everyone..."
This little interlude will naturally not attract too much attention.
Except for a few lustful people who glanced back and forth at Mai Kinoshita's cute face with licking eyes, the others only looked at Mai Kinoshita in confusion for a few times and then looked away.
"……Little Lord."
Kiryu, who suddenly spoke out, squinted his eyes and conveyed his dumbfounded laughter to Mai Kinoshita.
"Don't be so excited. It's not the time to relax and get excited yet."
The moment after Kiryu said this, he changed into a meaningful tone.
"The game isn't over yet."
Unfortunately, Kinoshita Mai, who was still immersed in shame, did not notice that Kiryu seemed to have something to say.
…
…
The other end of the "auditorium"——
"Hug...ha...sorry...I...I'm late..."
A panting young male voice, accompanied by rapid footsteps, suddenly sounded behind Zhouzhu and the others.
"Todo, why did you come just now?" Nagakura asked puzzledly at the visitor.
The person who came was a short young samurai—it was none other than another of Seito's subordinates: Toudou Heisuke.
Although Toudo was concerned about his status as a disciple of the Ito Kenkan and did not check into the Shoeikan as diners like Nagakura and Harada, but during the time when Aoto was resting in the Showeijuan, Toudou often visited
Someone came to visit Qingdeng.
After going back and forth, Todo unknowingly became familiar with everyone in the trial defense hall.
Therefore, he had naturally received the invitation "Come over and watch the game today" a long time ago.
"A battle with Genbukan's Red and White? It seems very interesting. I will definitely come to watch the game!" - Todo replied at the time.
However, since the official start of the competition, everyone in the trial gym has not seen Todo.
Everyone, including Qingnobo, thought that Todo would not come.
"Sorry...ha...ha..."
Todo, whose face was dripping with sweat and flushed fiercely, quickly ran to Shusuke and others, bent over and supported his knees with both hands, sucking in oxygen greedily.
"I...ha...ha...accidentally...ha...overslept today...how...is the game...? Ha...is it over?"
Todo wiped the sweat from his face vigorously while looking up at the competition field in front of him.
"It's not over yet." Harada laughed a few times, "But it should be almost there. There is only one person left at the Xuanwu Hall, and there are still 5 people at our Trial Guard Hall."
"Really?"
Todo blinked hard, and then quickly looked at the scene on the field carefully.
At this time, a helpless old laughter suddenly sounded.
"Hoo ho ho... 'But it should be soon'..."
Zhousuke first repeated what Harada had just said, and then while stroking his smooth chin, he continued softly.
"The game is still far from over. You young people still need to broaden your horizons."
"Huh?" Harada tilted his head and looked at Shusuke doubtfully.
Nagakura, Saito, Toudo and others also focused their attention on Shusuke.
Zhousuke, who was stared at so directly by everyone, said calmly with a calm expression:
"None of you have seen the true ability of Michizaburo Chiba, right?"
When he read the words "real ability", Shusuke emphasized his tone in a strange tone.
"Yong, Tachibana-kun, Suisan, Souji, and Yuan, the five of them are really powerful."
"But they all still have a long way to go on the road to martial arts."
"There is still... a big gap between them and warriors of Chiba Dosaburo's level."
"Have you forgotten who Chiba Michisaburo is?"
Speaking of this, Shusuke changed into a self-deprecating tone.
"He is the current head of the Xuanwu Hall and the second-generation head of the Beichen Itto-ryu clan."
…
…
On the playing field——
The cardiopulmonary function is stronger than that of ordinary people... From Qingdeng's personal feeling, this should be the most useful talent he has copied today.
Whether in martial arts or in daily life, good cardiopulmonary function is of great use.
The so-called cardiopulmonary function refers to the ability of the human heart to pump blood and the lungs to inhale oxygen.
The entire human body needs oxygen to burn the energy stored in the body and turn it into heat energy that is enough to drive the body's normal activities. Oxygen is inhaled by the lungs, so the size of the lungs and the number of activities are very important; and the heart is responsible for transporting oxygen.
It is sent to various organs and parts through the blood circulation system, so the strength of the heart beating will affect the flow of blood.
In martial arts, cardiopulmonary function is linked to physical strength.
In daily life, good cardiopulmonary function represents strong body resistance, and the incidence of a large number of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, is greatly reduced.
It has been a long time since I received a powerful talent that is quite useful...but Qingdeng doesn't have the time to savor this joy now.
While shaking his bamboo sword vigorously, he slowly stood up and looked expressionlessly at Chiba Michizaburo not far away who was still fighting with Souji and others.
The "Red and White Battle" is a game that is not complete until the general is defeated.
Michizaburo Chiba, who is wearing the jinhaori of the general, still has the porcelain bowl in front of his forehead intact... so the battle between Aonto and the others is not over yet!
As far as the results are concerned, Souji and the others have perfectly completed the task of "holding back Michizaburo Chiba".
From the beginning of the battle to now, Chiba Michizaburo has been tightly entangled by Souji and the others.
While Souji and the others succeeded in dragging Chiba Michizaburo away, they were still alive and well. None of them had their porcelain bowls broken.
And judging from the expressions on the faces of the Director-General and the others, they currently have plenty of energy left.
--strangeness……
At this time, Qingdeng felt a little strange for no reason.
——Souji and the others...did they fight too easily...?
Although Qingneng had met Chiba Michisaburo several times before, he had never been lucky enough to see him fighting bravely.
As for Chiba Doisaburo's strength, Qingto only knew that he was very strong...but exactly how strong Qingto was, he was confused.
——Is Chiba Michizaburo's strength really like this? Or...
With this question popping up in his mind, Qingden subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the Souji and the others - he was surprised to find that the faces of the Souji and the others all had expressions of confusion and solemnity.
.
Aomori didn't know that - as people who directly confronted Chiba Michisaburo, Souji and the others had long felt something... strange.
To describe it concretely with words... Souji and the others feel that the battle with Michizaburo Chiba so far has been like fighting cotton - no matter how hard they hit the cotton, the cotton will remain intact.
And it returns to its original shape due to its soft elasticity.
Souji and the others did not hold anything back, and they have been trying their best to fight Chiba Michizaburo.
But no matter how they attacked, they were unable to cause even a little effective damage to Chiba Michizaburo...
While Seito and Souji were still secretly puzzled——
"……pretty"
The left hand holding the wakizashi naturally hangs down, and the katana held in the right hand is casually carried on the shoulder - Chiba Michizaburo, standing in this posture as if relaxing in his own garden, looks clockwise.
, scanning the faces of Qingdeng and others one by one.
His eyes glanced at everyone else, only lingering the longest on the faces of Ayoto and Souji.
"Except for me, everyone including Shiro was wiped out... To be honest, this result is really beyond my expectation."
"I now understand a little bit what my father and uncle used to say to us, 'the next life is to be feared'."
Speaking of this, Chiba Michizaburo showed a faint smile to Qingto and others.
It's not a sarcastic and sarcastic expression.
But a smile of pure appreciation.
"Hey." Hijikata took over Chiba Michizaburo's words in a teasing tone, "You are only 25 years old this year, right? Why are you speaking as if you are an old man who is about to run out of fuel?
"
"Please forgive me. I accidentally became a little sentimental." Michizaburo Chiba slowly put down the sword on his right shoulder, "Today is really a happy day."
At this moment, the smile on Chiba Dosaburo's face changed.
The appreciative smile turned into a bright smile as if he had thought of something happy.
"The blood is getting hot... Come on, let the fight continue!"
The moment Chiba Michizaburo shouted this sentence... the atmosphere suddenly changed!
At this moment, Qingdeng and others felt as if there was a huge monster in front of them, overwhelming them!
An oppressive and surging aura escaped from Chiba Michizaburo's body!
Qingteng... no, Qingteng and others on the field, as well as some of the spectators in the "auditorium", all had their pupils shrinking uncontrollably.
As for those who have no understanding of martial arts...such as Okita Hikaru and his wife, Jiubei and others, although they cannot keenly sense the aura of Chiba Michizaburo, they can notice the sudden change in the atmosphere of the arena.
Already.
In an instant, the expressions of Qingdeng, Souji and others on the field became extremely solemn.
What is this surging aura that is gushing out from Chiba Doisaburo's body at this moment... Qingden and the others naturally know.
It’s “power”!
In the "auditorium", Kiryu looked calmly at the distant field and murmured softly: "The game has officially begun..."
At this time, Chiba Dosaburo took a deep breath and then quietly raised his sword.
The left hand lowers the side of the body and holds the lower part; the right hand raises the knife and raises the upper part... Chiba Michosaburo, who put on such a strange posture, said with a half-smile but not a smile:
"Beichen Two Sword Style, Chiba Dosaburo."
"Up...!"
Snap!
Michizaburo Chiba's hind feet scraped the ground and pounced on Aoden like a carnivorous beast!
When Qingdeng's field of vision went dark for a moment due to blinking, a sword that filled his entire field of vision had already swept over!
Qingden's pupils suddenly shrank, and driven by muscle memory and body instinct, he quickly raised his sword to defend himself.
Snapped--!
The bamboo sword rubbed against the bamboo sword, making a sharp noise that was close to tearing the sword body and eardrums apart.
——What a great strength!
Ayoto looked across the two swords framed together and looked at Chiba Michizaburo who was very close to him in astonishment.
He held the sword with both hands, while Chiba Michosaburo held the sword with one arm. As a result, he was unable to take advantage of Chiba Michosaburo in the duel of strength!
With an extra bit of strength, Chiba Michizaburo immediately added another bit of strength... The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one could overwhelm the other in terms of strength.
"Tachibana-kun! Watch out for his other sword!"
A loud reminder came from the right side of the headmaster.
This reminder from the Director-General is actually not necessary.
Because Qingdeng had already discovered it - there was a short, narrow black shadow, striking at his waist from the corner of his field of vision!
It’s the wakizashi on Chiba Doisaburo’s left hand!
Sensing the approaching danger, Qingto quickly dodged his body to the left, and with both body and knife, he dodged to Chiba Michizaburo's right side, and voluntarily withdrew from the wrestling match.
A cold bamboo wakizashi brushed against his lower abdomen.
Chiba Michizaburo's surprise attack was so close to his own body that the skin of Aonto's abdomen could clearly feel the presence of Wakizashi Senge.
At this moment, Qingden recalled with hindsight: This seemed to be his first time fighting against a swordsman who used the two-sword style.
Michizaburo Chiba is a swordsman who can perform two tasks at once and can achieve the effect of "double attack" on his own - the information about Michizaburo Chiba that I have heard before seems to have a consciousness of its own.
It flashed through Qingdeng's mind quickly.
At this moment, the general manager and the others arrived.
Souji, Kondo, Hijikata, and Inoue approached Chiba Michizaburo from four directions respectively.
Michizaburo Chiba turned his face slightly, and quickly glanced at where Souji and others were standing with the corner of his eye, and then his tall body started to spin rapidly like a windmill!
The torso is the axis of the "windmill", and the two swords held in both hands are the fan blades of the "windmill".
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh...
The two bamboo swords were constantly swung, blowing strong winds one after another.
Sometimes the two swords slashed in the same direction, and sometimes they separated and struck sharply in different directions.
The "windmill" was spinning faster and faster... and it was impossible to get close.
Qingto, who originally wanted to rush forward and cooperate with the director and others to launch a pincer attack on Chiba Michizaburo, could only hold back in the face of this "big windmill" whose speed and potential energy could only be described as terrifying.
Just like Souji and the others, they quickly retreated to keep the distance between them and Chiba Michizaburo to avoid being implicated by the "fan blades" of the "windmill".
The "windmill" rotated a full 10 times before it came to a stop.
At this time, Aomori and others happened to be surrounding Chiba Michizaburo in a position similar to a "pentagonal star".
At this moment, Qingto and others all looked at Chiba Michizaburo who was surrounded by them with serious and extremely solemn expressions and eyes.
Aoto, who had just joined the battle against Chiba Michizaburo, might not know it very well, but Souji, Kondo and the others saw it quite clearly - compared to the time when the four of them desperately entangled him, Chiba
Ye Daozaburo's sword speed and sword strength have all been greatly improved!
"You guy..." Hijikata, who had a bad temper, shouted directly with a stern face, "Didn't you show your true ability to fight us just now?"
"No."
Chiba Dosaburo gently shook his head.
"I played very hard just now."
"It took me a lot of effort to barely block the attack from the four of you."
"But it's different now - I won't hold back anymore."
Michizaburo Chiba rearranged his left hand to hold the lower part of the wakizashi, and raised the upper part of the sword with his right hand in a strange posture, with a burning desire to fight shining in his eyes.
"If five of you are challenged alone, even I wouldn't dare to challenge you."
"I will do my best... to defeat you!"
The majestic fighting spirit, accompanied by the surging "power", burst out from Chiba Michizaburo!
"That's it..."
Facing this wave of shockingly oppressive aura, Qingdeng readied his sword calmly.
He smiled.
An unpretentious smile.
"That's great! I can't wait any longer. Come here quickly!"
…
…
In the "audience seat"——
"Since Mr. Chiba Michisaburo's real strength is so strong, why didn't he use all his strength from the beginning when he fought Okita-kun and the others...?" A certain swordsman from the Chiba Sword Hall asked in confusion.
murmured.
After hearing the swordsman's murmur, Chiba Nobuyoshi next to him said softly:
"...He should be waiting for Mr. Tachibana to free up his hands to fight him."
"Ha..." Chiba Jutaro laughed dryly, "This is indeed the style of Taoist brother..."
Chiba Nobuyoshi raised his face, his eyes buried in wrinkles, and while watching all the movements on the field attentively, he said quietly:
"Because the third nephew is always taciturn and aloof from the world, people often forget that the third nephew is the most aggressive one in our Chiba family..."
…
…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
On the playing field, the sound of bamboo swords clashing sounded repeatedly and continuously.
Shock and roar shook the atmosphere.
——As brothers, the difference in strength is too great...
After struggling to receive another heavy blow from Chiba Doisaburo, Qingto couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chiba Michizaburo and Chiba Tamonshiro whom he had just faced off with…the difference in strength between these two brothers was not even a little bit different.
Aoto cooperated with Souji and others, and five of them defeated Chiba Michizaburo. Not only did they not take any advantage, but they were suppressed by Chiba Michizaburo!
Although Kondo, Hijikata and others had been fortunate enough to see Chiba Michizaburo take action several times before, they had never seen what Chiba Michizaburo would look like after he tried his best.
Therefore, facing Michizaburo Chiba, who is now in full swing, Kondo and the others feel particularly unfamiliar.
Chiba Dosaburo's swordsmanship is extremely weird.
When fighting him, you can't help but have a weird feeling as if you are fighting a pair of twins who have a very high tacit understanding!
Michizaburo Chiba is like having two brains that can operate independently. The two brains control two hands respectively.
The two knives on the left and right hands can use different moves at the same time and from different directions to target the same target or multiple targets.
Although there is only one opponent in front of me, it feels like I am being attacked by two masters...
Chiba Dosaburo also knows the trick of using less to hit more.
He kept moving and changing his position, never staying too long in any one place.
Relying on his superb footwork and control of the battle situation, he abruptly cut a "1 vs. 5" melee into 5 "1 vs. 1" matches.
Michizaburo Chiba was very fond of his "big windmill" sword technique.
Relying on his "big windmill", he once again successfully pushed back Qingdeng and others who tried to besiege him. With a "paha" sound, his feet shoveled the soil on the ground and galloped towards the well like a wild beast.
Approaching!
From just now, Aoto and the others had keenly sensed that Chiba Michizaburo had been deliberately unleashing a violent attack on Inoue like a violent storm.
He must have wanted to knock Inoue out first and reduce the number of his opponents.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Michizaburo Chiba's right hand started with the upper section of the sword, and used a set of "New Year's Sword Technique" to strike Inoue with three powerful vertical slashes.
Inoue reluctantly accepted the three blows from Chiba Michisaburo. Before he could take a breath, he saw a new slash coming towards him from an extremely tricky angle - this time, it was Chiba Michizaburo.
The wakizashi came over.
The wakizashi on Chiba Michizaburo's left hand quietly "touched" the corner of Inoue's field of vision at some point - this is a position that the human eye often ignores subconsciously.
In fact, Inoue did not notice Chiba Michosaburo's wakashi until Chiba Michosaburo's attack was launched.
"Well..." Inoue leaned back hard, trying to avoid Chiba Michizaburo's surprise attack.
Qingto and the others also came as quickly as possible, hoping to support Inoue who was in danger.
However... whether it was Inoue's dodge or Qingto's support, they were all a step too slow.
Bang!
A crisp cracking sound.
Michizaburo Chiba's wakizashi accurately hit the porcelain bowl in front of Inoue's forehead.
Inoue dazedly raised his hand and touched his empty forehead, then sighed with regret... holding his bamboo sword, he retreated to the outside.
At this time, Qingdeng and the others finally arrived too late.
The four of them surrounded Chiba Michizaburo from four directions: east, west, south and north, and launched a fierce pincer attack on Chiba Michizaburo.
Four swords fell like raindrops on Chiba Michizaburo's body.
This time, Chiba Michizaburo did not use his "big windmill" with terrifying strength, speed and pressure.
He took a deep breath, crossed his legs, stood still, and faced the attacks from Qingdeng and others!
The sword was swung at high speed... The two swords in his hands were swung by Chiba Michizaburo, which had the effect of 4 swords and 8 swords!
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……
The dense clashing sound of bamboo swords exploded like exploding beans.
Aoto and the others were all caught with their slashes... Not only that, Chiba Michizaburo also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
This time, Chiba Michizaburo's target was Kondo.
The left flank sealed the tip of Kondo's sword in mid-air, and at the same time, the sword of the right hand drew an arc and approached Kondo's face...the movements were completed in one go!
After the battle with Michizaburo Chiba started, Aoto's "Alone" was automatically activated... Aoto believed that Kondo was the same way.
Kondo's "lonely courage" is definitely in full swing right now.
But even though he was in a state of full "solitude", Kondo still struggled to dodge Chiba Douzaburo's surprise attack with extremely tricky timing and angle.
Kondo hurriedly took two steps back, barely dodging Chiba Michizaburo's sword.
At this time, support from Hijikata arrived.
Hijikata, who was standing on the right side of Chiba Michisaburo, freed up his left hand and reached out to grab Chiba Michizaburo's left wrist.
I have taught myself a lot of moves from other sects as well as the earthwork of wild paths, and I am best at using various strange moves to deal with the enemy according to the situation.
Hijikata wants to use his self-taught jujitsu to remove the katana from Chiba Michosaburo's right hand. If he can remove it, that would be the best. If he can't remove it, he should restrain Chiba Michosaburo's body and gain the opportunity for others to attack.
Chances are, the result is not bad.
As soon as he saw it, he was about to catch Chiba Michizaburo's right wrist... Unexpectedly, Chiba Michizaburo's movements were extremely flexible. He gently twisted his right wrist, and Hijikata missed it.
In an instant, two figures appeared behind Chiba Michizaburo - none other than Aoto and Souji.
In terms of positioning, Aoto and Souji's positions were quite perfect, standing right in the blind spot of Chiba Michizaburo's vision.
As a result, Chiba Michizaburo suddenly stretched out his arms backwards as if he had eyes on his back - attacking Souji with the wakizashi in his left hand, and attacking Aoden with the katana in his right hand.
In desperation, Ayoto and Souji, who had not yet had time to launch an offensive, could only quickly retreat and distance themselves from Chiba Michisaburo.
At this time...the "big windmill" is here again!
Chiba Michisaburo swung the two swords in his hands, forcing Qingto and others to continue to retreat in embarrassment, further away from Chiba Michizaburo...

Chiba Doisaburo is [one of the strongest swordsmen in Edo]. Those book friends who think that the current Aoto can suppress Chiba Doisaburo are really overthinking... If the current Aoto can suppress Chiba Doisaburo,
Then won’t his combat power collapse? Don’t think how strong Qingdeng is now, he still has a long way to go.
I wonder if any book friends have played "Dark Souls 3"? Those who have played it can substitute Michizaburo Chiba's windmill into the big boss in it: the dancer's windmill. After this generation, it is
Don't you feel that Chiba Michizaburo's sense of oppression has skyrocketed?
Yesterday I saw a book friend saying: Will wearing gauntlets and arm armor defeat Beichen Yi Dao Liu?
In this regard, I just want to say: As long as you wear armor, you can restrain a large number of martial arts schools, including swordsmanship. Therefore, in ancient times, collecting armor was a capital crime.
