Chapter 319: Human Zhan Qingden vs. human Zanjiro! The confrontation between human Zhan
Decision!【Leopard update 1W】
In an instant, the courtyard became audible, and only the breathing of people and the "buzzing" vibration of arrow feathers could be heard vaguely.
Because Qingdeng's shooting speed was so fast, when every arrow was shot, he almost didn't aim, and almost always shot with his hand raised.
Therefore, the total time it takes for all three arrows to be fired is less than 10 seconds. Most of these 10 seconds are spent on taking the arrows from the quiver.
Because the shooting speed was too fast and the shooting time was too short, every arrow Qingden shot is still trembling slightly like a wagtail's tail due to the reaction force.
Aoto, Kitahara Konosuke, Sanako and Otsuki Minoru were not the only ones in the huge courtyard.
At the edge of the courtyard and at the entrance, there are many Yakuza responsible for security duties.
Whether it was Kithara Konosuke, Sanako and the others, or the Yakuza who were standing guard, the eyes of everyone present except Aomori, after being stunned for a moment, all stared blankly at the three heads.
The arrow hits the bullseye on the target.
Dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.
For a moment, Kitahara Konosuke, whose eyes were straight, forgot to breathe and even forgot the existence of his own body. His whole person was in a weird state where his soul seemed to be separated from the body and he was wandering in the world.
After a moment, his consciousness slowly regained control of his body.
His facial features stiffened and his equally stiff neck turned, and his eyes looked at Qingdeng in shock.
At this moment, Qingdeng was seen disengaging from his shooting stance with slow and deliberate movements, just like a general returning from victory.
——Nioh... knows how to bow?! Why does he know how to bow?!
Although he was very resistant to this reality in his heart, the scene unfolding in front of Kitahara Konosuke was too real to ignore.
As a lover of bows, Konosuke Kitahara could see at a glance how amazing the hand Aoto showed just now was.
You know, the archery target used by Qingdeng is a 20-meter target.
For those who have no experience with archery, or even those who are not good at archery, it is very difficult to accurately shoot an arrow on a 10-meter target, let alone a 20-meter target.
In order to prevent the situation where "Aoden might know archery skills", Kitahara Konosuke specially selected the farthest target in his archery range, which was the 20-meter target, to test Aoto.
If it were just an ordinary three arrows hitting the bull's-eye, that would be fine. However... Qingdeng not only had ridiculous accuracy in shooting, but he also barely had time to aim and just raised his hand to shoot.
Spending a long time aiming there, and being able to shoot with a bow...these two are two concepts and two realms.
There is no doubt that Nioh is a very high-level archery master - this is what Konosuke Kitahara cannot understand the most.
Qingdeng's family background should not and cannot have the opportunity to be exposed to archery!
——Did Nioh really just learn archery recently? This makes no sense! Nioh is a gifted swordsman genius. Is it possible that he also has outstanding talents in archery and can achieve the level of ordinary people in just a few months?
How many years of practice does it take to reach this level? Don’t be kidding me! How could such a monster exist in this world who is talented in everything and is proficient in everything!
Kitahara Konosuke was so focused on fixating his shocked eyes on Aoden that he didn't notice that Sanako and Otsuki Minoru, who were standing not far away from him, were showing their faces similar to his.
The same jaw-dropping expression.
The shock expressed by the two girls at this moment was no less than Kitahara Konosuke's.
No. Maybe...the two girls are now more shocked than Konosuke Sarabitahara.
Because they were far more familiar with Aoto than Konosuke Kitahara, they were 100% certain that Aoto had never learned archery before.
"...!"
Otsuki Minoru suddenly felt a little cold at the corner of her mouth. She quickly came to her senses and raised her hand to touch the place where she felt the coldness - it turned out that her red lips were opened too wide, and her saliva almost dripped down.
After wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Otsuki Minoru turned his unexpectedly cramped gaze back to Qingto.
In fact, as of now, there is a lot of resentment towards Qingdeng, which is constantly rising from Otsuki Minoru's heart.
Don’t I know your past, Ju Qingdeng? You and I grew up together! Have you ever learned the bow skills of Lao Shizi?
Although he clearly doesn't understand archery, he still insists on taking the so-called trial mentioned by Kitahara Konosuke... Otsuki Minoru couldn't help but thought darkly in his heart: Could it be... Tachibana-kun is just to perfunctory me, in order to complete the test on me as soon as possible
The promise he made to "I will do my best to save Otsuki Tsuneji" is why he nodded to Kōnosuke Kitahara so arbitrarily, right?
When the trial failed, he pretended to say to her: "I'm sorry, I tried my best. You can ask for your own blessings."
The more Otsuki Minoru thought about it, the more likely he felt that this kind of thing would happen. The more he thought about it, the more angry and aggrieved he became, and he almost shed tears.
Then... there is no more.
After Qingdeng let go of his bowstring for the first time, all the pain and grievances disappeared.
Instead, her beauty faded, and she looked like Kitahara Konosuke who couldn't believe his eyes.
Sanako's reaction was much calmer than that of Kithara Konosuke and Otsuki Minoru.
On the one hand, this is because Sanako has received extremely strict education from Yamato Nadeshiko since she was a child, so she is well-educated and rarely shows signs of losing her temper due to violent mood swings.
On the other hand, it was because she had long been accustomed to receiving shock and disbelief from Qingdeng...
Sanako just opened her eyes slightly, the lines on her beautiful face suddenly straightened, and the emotions in her eyes rippled.
At this moment, Sanako suddenly recalled the scene where she had taught Qingto so intimately...
"..."
Sanako felt that her cheeks were turning red and hot at an extremely fast rate.
At this time, there happened to be a light night breeze blowing, and Sanako's long hair swayed in the wind.
Sanako pretended to hold her hair with her slender snow-white fingers, but in fact she secretly used her palms to cover her face with a cherry-colored halo...
…
——This cheap product is indeed quite difficult to use...
Aoden weighed the Japanese bow in his hand and silently compared the bow in his hand with the Japanese bow he used to practice bows at Tsukinomiya Shrine.
At this time, Qingdeng deeply felt how big the difference was between bows of different prices.
What Aomori just said to Sanako, that is, "This is my first time using this kind of bow, but it should be fine," was not a lie or self-effacing. He was telling the truth.
But Sanako understood it wrong.
He doesn't mean "using a bow for the first time".
What he means is "the first time he has ever used a bow of this level".
When I practiced bowing at Yuegong Shrine, what kind of bow did I use? The bow I used was the treasure bow provided by the "Queen Mother" Tianzhangyuan.
What kind of bow did Konosuke Kitahara provide you? You asked me to use it.
Qingdeng didn't know the market price of bows, but he guessed that the bows lent to him by Tianzhang Academy were definitely first-class treasures that had a price but no market.
After all, who is Tianzhangin? Although she is currently suffering from crazy suppression by the "Ichitsubashi Sect", her noble status as "the moral mother of the 14th generation general Zhengyi" cannot be changed in any way.
For someone like Tianzhangyuan, if he wanted a treasure bow, it was just a matter of asking.
Because he was used to using luxurious bows that ordinary people would never even see, Aoto couldn't help but be surprised when he received the Japanese bow that was widely available in the market from Konosuke Kitahara.
It turns out that this ordinary Japanese bow is so difficult to use?
The bow body is made of ordinary wood, but it feels awkward to hold.
It was different from the refreshing sound I was used to. The sound when plucking the strings was very dull, which made me feel uncomfortable listening to it.
Although there is no big problem with the center of gravity of the bow, Qingto can clearly feel that there is a very striking difference in the configuration of the center of gravity between it and the treasure bows hidden in Tsukinomiya Shrine.
Whether he can make good use of this broken bow that he is not used to... To be honest, Qingdeng is not particularly confident.
Fortunately, the final result satisfied Qingdeng.
On the 20-meter target, all three arrows hit the bullseye... which is almost Qingden's normal level.
——The archery skills I learned from His Highness Tianzhangyuan were unexpectedly put to use in this situation...
Thinking of this, the corners of Qingdeng's mouth quietly raised and he smiled.
It has been almost three months since I was forced to practice archery by Tianzhang Academy in early September.
With the blessing of a group of talented people headed by the "Master of Bows", although Qingdeng's bow training progress cannot be said to be a thousand miles, it can also be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
There are so many talents that can help Qingdeng's archery training.
First of all, it goes without saying that he is a "master of bows".
After many times of fusion of talents, Qingdeng's "Archer of Bows" has been upgraded to 18 times that of ordinary people.
Although numerically far inferior to Qingden's "Saint of Swords" which is 106 times higher than that of ordinary people, the number "18" is also very scary.
Qingden can master the same knowledge and skills in only 1/18 of the time it takes an ordinary person.
What's more, Qingdeng also has a "ghost heart" that improves his brain's understanding.
The existence of "Ghost Heart" further shortens the time required for Qingto to learn skills and techniques.
The "Gathering of Gods", which gives the ability to "concentrate and concentrate far more easily than ordinary people", further greatly improves Qingden's training progress based on the "Master of the Bow" and the "Ghost Heart".
To improve the flexibility and strength of the fingers, tonight there is a "+1" title of "Skilled Hands +1", which makes Qingdeng more comfortable in controlling the strength of the strings.
The "seeing through" that improves the sense of space makes it easier for Qingden to grasp the distance between himself and the target.
The "Eagle Eye +1" that enhances dynamic vision allows Qingden to get twice the result with half the effort when practicing shooting moving targets.
In addition to these powerful talents, Qingdeng's archery has made such great progress in such a short period of time, and the person who taught Qingdeng's archery...that is, Tianzhang Academy is indispensable.
Not only is Tianzhangyuan's own bow skills exceptionally good, she is also very good at teaching others, and can always teach Qingdeng the rules of bow use in a simple and profound way.
With his own hard work, coupled with the blessing of talents, and the help brought by Tianzhang Academy's personal guidance in various senses, Qingdeng's current archery level has reached the point where he can hit 9 out of 10 shots within a 25-meter range.
In this realm, if a moving target is used as the target, the hit rate can be guaranteed within a range of 10 meters.
——His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan...
Looking at the bow in his hand, Tianzhangyuan's charming, mature and beautiful face suddenly appeared in Qingdeng's eyes without being controlled by Qingdeng's consciousness.
Suddenly, Qingdeng felt numbness and softness coming from his left side and back.
This is the physical memory that remains deep in the skin of Qingdeng’s left side and back.
Immediately afterwards, embarrassment appeared on Qingdeng's face, and an indescribable strange emotion aroused in his chest...
Every time he saw bow equipment or anything related to the bow equipment box, Qingdeng couldn't help but think of Tianzhang Academy.
Then he couldn't help but think back on these memories that he might never forget for the rest of his life.
A memory that makes people blush, their heart beats, and their hearts wander.
"Lord Nioh..."
At this time, Kitahara Konosuke's voice intervened into Aoto's thoughts.
When Qingdeng came back to his senses, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously a few times, trying to get all these strange thoughts related to Tianzhang Court out of his mind.
After less than 3 seconds, Qingdeng's demeanor and behavior returned to normal.
"Mr. Kitahara, you have made a fool of yourself."
While Aoto handed the bow in his hand back to Konosuke Kitahara who was approaching him, he uttered this self-effacing phrase that can be said to be a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Konosuke Kitahara, who had a pale complexion and facial lines as cold and hard as steel bars, glanced at the wagong Aoto and Aoto handed back, and said slowly in a tone of neither sadness nor joy:
"I didn't expect... Niou-sama is not only proficient in swordsmanship, but he is also so good at archery. It really opened my eyes."
After hearing this, Aoto thought for a while and decided to plagiarize his master of the sword-fighting technique...which was also the favorite catchphrase of Kiryu boss.
"I once learned a little archery in Edo."
When he said this, his talent "Emperor's Art" was activated unconsciously, and Qingden showed a calm expression, "I'm still far behind".
With such lines and such demeanor, an aura of superiority without arrogance or impatience emerges spontaneously.
Several Yakuza standing guard not far away looked at Qingdeng with respect.
Even the expressions and eyes of Kitahara Konosuke, Sanako and Otsuki Minoru changed slightly.
Because of the innate effect of the "Emperor's Art", Qingdeng's self-effacing look is very realistic and cannot be found to be fake at all.
Many people present couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Nioh's bow skills are obviously so superb, but he is still so humble... How can he make such outstanding achievements in martial arts at a very young age of less than ten years old, and create such a record?
What a glorious and great achievement, it is indeed not without reason!
Kithara Konosuke took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said:
"His Majesty Renwang is calm but not arrogant, which is really admirable."
"You passed the archery test. Now let's proceed to the second test."
The second trial is a swordsmanship competition.
The condition for passing the archery test prescribed by Konosuke Kitahara to Aoto is that 3 out of 7 arrows should be shot within the white circle.
Aoto completed the condition ahead of schedule with only 3 arrows, and he still exceeded the limit. All 3 arrows hit the red bullseye that was only the size of a thumb. Although Kitahara Konosuke was reluctant, he could only hold it.
Use your nose to recognize this fact.
Kithara Konosuke turned his head and shouted to a Yakuza next to him:
"Choujiro! Take Nioh-sama and his companions to the dojo on the third floor!"
"yes!"
Yakuza, who was called Chou Erlang, quickly stepped out of the queue.
"Lord Niou."
Kitahara Konosuke turned around and said to Qingnobo.
"Please follow my men to the scene first. I will be there in a moment."
Qing Deng nodded and said softly, "Yeah."
Choujiro led Qingteng, Sanako and the others to leave.
Kitahara Konosuke stood there, watching Qingnobo and others, wondering what he was thinking.
Until the figures of Qingdeng and his party left the sight, he still stood upright and motionless.
"Kitahara-sama."
An older Yakuza slowly walked up to Qingdeng and said in a deep voice:
"Are you really going to test Niou's swordsmanship?"
Although this person's words were very tactful, Kitahara Konosuke immediately understood the implication of his words - Is it really okay to compete with a swordsman like Nioh who is so skilled in swordsmanship? Who should I send to compete with Nioh?
?
The content of the second trial proposed by Konosuke Kitahara was to require Aomori to defeat his designated target.
This condition... is too difficult! Where are they going to find swordsman masters who can compete with the Niou who has made great achievements in battle and killed countless people?
This Yakuza didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, Kithara Konosuke's face suddenly became much longer.
Shooting yourself in the foot.
If I had known this, I would not have mentioned Lao Shizi's swordsmanship trial at that time.
It's good now, it's hard to get off the tiger.
But no matter how upset I felt, it was useless.
The right way is to seize the time and think about countermeasures.
Kitahara Konosuke thought about it for a long time.
After a while, he looked into the distance and said quietly:
"...Call me Oishi Shojiro."
When Yakuza heard this, he was shocked.
"Oishi Shojiro? Are you going to send 'Human Killer Shojiro' to deal with Niou?"
"Except for 'Human Sword Kakujiro', I can't think of anyone else who can hope to defeat Niou in a one-on-one duel. Stop talking nonsense, go and call Oishi Kakujiro."
"Yes Yes!"
…
…
Nioh, third floor, dojo——
According to Qingto's observations so far, Renwu is not just a simple casino, it also has the property of a "stronghold".
The first floor is a casino where gamblers can throw coins.
The area on the second floor and above is strictly prohibited for outsiders.
On the second floor and above, many Yakuza from the Qingmizu clan can be seen walking back and forth in the corridors.
A tobacco room is provided for smoking.
There is a large pool and a huge bathroom with a bathing function.
A dojo that can be used to hone martial arts.
Rooms with various functions are all available and very complete.
Aoto and others, who had already arrived at the dojo first, were silently waiting for the arrival of Kitahara Konosuke.
Otsuki Minoru sat on the edge of the dojo side by side with Sanako in an orderly manner, with a look of relief on his face as if a big stone had fallen from his heart.
She thought to herself: It’s safe! Mr. Orange will definitely win this swordsmanship trial!
Although her understanding of Qingnobo's swordsmanship level came from rumors she heard in the market, this did not prevent her from having full confidence in Niou, who was famous for his swordsmanship.
Based on Tachibana-kun's strength, no matter who Kitahara Konosuke sends into battle, Tachibana-kun will definitely be able to quickly defeat the opponent in three strikes and five cuts - Otsuki Minoru thought to himself very optimistically.
In fact, although there are some unknown differences, Aomori does hold similar thoughts to Otsuki Minoru.
Qingdeng has never been that arrogant and arrogant person. He is not arrogant enough to think that he is unparalleled and invincible in the world.
However, when it comes to swordsmanship, he is more or less confident, at least far more confident than archery.
At present, the archery test that is most likely to go wrong has been passed. Facing the field that I am best at, I can't help but feel relaxed.
Qingden and others did not wait in the dojo for too long.
About 20 minutes later, footsteps came one after another from the corridor outside the stadium.
Roar, clang – Konosuke Kitahara, who had just separated, and a young man they had never seen before, appeared in front of Aomori and others.
After Aoden glanced at Kitahara Konosuke, he quickly turned his attention to the young man walking behind Kitahara Konosuke.
He is around 20 years old; his dark complexion indicates that he is often exposed to the sun; his complexion is a dark gray that does not look healthy and cheerful; although his facial features are regular, he lacks any eye-catching features, and he is the kind of person who is forgotten once he sees it.
, you would never find him in a crowd.
He is of average height, with a height of about 1.6 meters. Although he is considered a "tall man" in this era, he is not at a level that would cause people to exclaim.
He is neither fat nor thin, but his limbs are extremely thick.
Qingden's eyelids sunk slightly.
Not far away, Sanako also narrowed her beautiful eyes.
The two of them noticed the young man's arms at the same time.
I could see the young man's arms swinging, creating a strong wind, and could vaguely hear the sound of "whooshing" shaking the air.
Even the natural swing of his arms can produce such a powerful sound... It is evident how much power is contained in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Niou-sama, for keeping you waiting."
Konosuke Kitahara walked up to Aoto, and after saying his polite words, he stood half a step sideways and showed his face to the young man behind him.
"Please allow me to introduce you, this is Oishi Shojiro of the Qing Xia League."
"Your Majesty, I have long admired you."
The young man...that is, Oishi Kazujiro bent down to Aoto, and gave a cold greeting with no emotion on his face.
——Qing Xia Lian...
Qingto glanced at Oishi Kazujiro a few more times.
This person is from the Qing Xia Lian... It's unexpected, but it's reasonable.
The Qingxia Alliance is the "combat force" of the Qingshui clan, and it has gathered a large number of fierce men who dare to fight and kill. Among them are many outstanding warriors who have been passed down from all walks of life.
It is reasonable and reasonable to send members of the Qing Xia Alliance who have both excellent martial arts strength and sufficient practical experience to compete with him.
"Gui'an, this is the first time we meet, I am Ju Qingdeng."
While Aoto nodded to Oishi Kazujiro, he also gave his name.
Oishi Shojiro nodded to show that he had received Aoto's self-introduction.
"Lord Niou."
Kitahara Konosuke said.
"Oishi Kazujiro is your opponent in the second trial. As long as you can defeat him, then I will immediately enlarge Tsukisuneji's freedom without any hesitation, otherwise I will ask you to go home."
Qingdeng nodded.
"But please enlighten me."
The corners of Kitahara Konosuke's mouth turned up in an intriguing arc.
"If you are ready and have no objections...let us begin!"
…
Aoto put on his "face", "cage hands", "crown" and other protective equipment, and then walked into the center of the dojo with his bamboo sword - Oishi Shojiro, who could pierce armor slightly faster than him, was already waiting there.
.
"No leakage, Oishi Shojiro."
Oishi Shojiro came to his house in an ancient style and squatted down with his bamboo sword in hand, performing the crouching ceremony.
I don't have any deep grudge against Oishi Kazujiro, so there is no need not to give others face or embarrass them.
Therefore, Qingdeng also reported his home.
"Naturally Rishin-ryu, Tachibana Aoden."
Qingdeng knelt down and performed the squatting ceremony.
Aoto and Oishi Kazujiro saluted each other; Otsuki Minoru had a relaxed smile on her face; Sanako remained calm; although her lips raised a meaningful arc, there was still a hint of something in her eyes.
The anxious Kitahara Konosuke——
These things will all disappear in the next moment.
call!
The dull, harsh sound broke through the air, tearing apart the silence of the air and the dojo.
In the first half second, Oishi Kazujiro, who was still squatting in a standard posture towards Aoden, suddenly changed his posture in the second half!
He suddenly struck Qingdeng in the face with his sword.
Even people who don't understand kendo at all, such as Otsuki Minoru, can see the power and speed of Oishi Kazujiro's move.
If Oishi Kazujiro had used a real sword, if he had not taken the blow, his head would have been moved and his brains would have been chopped out.
Qingdeng's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes in an instant.
Combat instinct and combat experience honed through long-term battles, as well as the "super speed" to "increase reaction speed", drive Qingdeng's body to move.
Qingdeng raised the bamboo sword in his hand horizontally to his head at lightning speed, and at the same time held the blade with his left hand.
Snapped!
The sound of the fierce clash of bamboo swords shook the air in the dojo.
Feeling the force transmitted along the sword blade to his arm, Qingdeng's expression turned solemn.
"Aha!"
Aoden shouted suddenly, and took away Oishi Kazujiro's bamboo sword, and then swung his sword to counterattack. The bamboo sword was pulled into a blurry afterimage, and swept away towards Oishi Kazujiro's body, like a cirrus cloud and a strong wind.
Although the sword's landing point is correct, it may not be able to hit the enemy.
Just when Aoto's counterattack sword was swung out, Oishi Kazujiro disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With his strong jumping ability, he stepped into the air and easily dodged Qingdeng's bamboo sword. The moment he landed, he slashed down with the bamboo sword dragged to his side in an eight-pair stance.
Seeing this, Qingto crouched down, his waist was full of strength in less than 1 second, and he stepped forward. The bamboo sword in his right hand drew an arc in mid-air, and hit the sword of Oishi Kazujiro, which resolved the problem.
This slash from Oishi Shojiro.
In the next breath, Oishi Shojiro's not particularly strong body suddenly sank, his knees bent, his center of gravity lowered, and he looked as if he was about to kneel on the ground...
moment.
In the next moment, he struck out a second time.
The tip of the sword raised from bottom to top scraped the floor. If it had been a hundred-forged steel sword instead of a bamboo sword, it would have wiped out shining sparks at this moment.
Almost at the same time, Qingden also drew his sword.
Snap—Aoden's left foot took a step forward in the direction of Oishi Kazujiro, and the sole of his foot touched the floor, making a huge bang.
As if he was deliberately confronting Oishi Shojiro, Aoto switched his posture to the upper right position while stepping, and then turned his body using the stepped left leg as an axis.
Turning his body in a small half circle, Qingden then used special techniques to conduct the centrifugal force generated by the turn to his right arm and the bamboo sword in his palm - adding his own strength - he slashed out with all his strength!
The bamboo sword struck in the air.
A loud sound that caused pain in the eardrums burst out.
Next, as if they had planned the move from the beginning, Aoto and Oishi Kazujiro made the same move - stepping forward together.
The two of them passed each other so close that their bodies were almost touching.
Qingdeng could even feel the warm breath coming out of the opponent's mask.
Dong-dong-dong—the footsteps slid and the ground made a sound. The two of them opened a gap of three steps in one breath.
Quickly turning around, holding the knife, and reorganizing their posture - both of them acted like this.
Just now, it was Oishi Kazujiro who launched a very strong active attack, but now it was Aoto who took the lead.
Aoto used the monkey cry in the display flow that he especially liked to use recently because it was very useful, and he leaned forward to chop at Oishi Shojiro.
Faced with Qingden's terrifying scream... the other party remained unmoved at all, not even moving an eyebrow.
Oishi Shojiro moves very quickly.
But what moves faster than him is the three-foot sword in his hand!
I saw two dark yellow slender shadows flickering between Aonto and Oishi Kazujiro.
The speed is so fast that the eyes can't see anything.
No one ran away, both of them stood still, going back and forth with each other in fierce attacks and defenses.
One sword, two swords, three swords - Oishi Shojiro swung three slashes at different angles, but at the same high speed.
One dodge, another dodge, another dodge—Aoden's body flexed, relying on Oishi Kazujiro's sword, and then launched a counterattack.
If you kill me with one sword, I will kill you with one sword.
You take half a step back, and I will follow half a step back.
For a moment, the shadow of the sword without any fixed trajectory danced in this small world.
The number of bamboo sword strikes increased at a speed that was too fast for the conscious mind to keep up with.
Once, five times, nine times...until it's hard to measure and can't be counted.
Someone will definitely be injured by the sword - anyone would think so after witnessing such a fierce competition.
But what about the reality?
Snap - the two bamboo swords collided together for an unknown number of times. As if being shaken away by the impact of the air waves and reaction force, the two of them flew backwards at the same time with their feet stuck to the ground, and kept flying.
Only after there is a gap of 4 steps will the two parties stabilize their bodies.
"Whirring whirring……"
Oishi Kazujiro's chest and shoulders rose and fell slightly.
On the other hand, Qingdeng - with his strong physique created by "Yuan Yang + 1" and the outstanding lung capacity given by the "Iron Lung", his breathing has not changed much compared to before the war, and is as smooth and powerful as usual.
Oishi Kazujiro seemed to want to adjust his breathing rhythm, so he did not immediately rush forward to fight Aoto again.
As for Qingdeng, he did not start the war again immediately.
While holding the bamboo sword in front of him in a mid-section posture, hiding his body in the shadow of the bamboo sword, he looked at the opposite Oishi Kazujiro from head to toe several times with a hawk-like gaze.
——No wonder he was entrusted by Kitahara Konosuke to fight against me.
Oishi Kazujiro was able to fight Aoshinobu in the battle just now without falling behind - I believe anyone who is not blind or stupid should be able to see this unrivaled swordsman, and
Not just anyone!
When he reached the edge of the field, the relaxed smile on Otsuki Minoru's face that thought Ainoto would definitely win disappeared.
Sanako did not change her calm demeanor, her expression was generally calm, but she still couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Oishi Kakujiro - she was not surprised by Oishi Kakujiro's strength.
As the daughter of the "great swordsman of the day" Chiba Nobuyoshi, what warrior has Sanako not seen? She has "something" that is both rare and terrifying in Oishi Kazujiro, and that many warriors do not possess.
And feel surprised.
Aoto also discovered "such a thing" on Oishi Kazujiro's body.
When Oishi Kazujiro swung his first sword at him, Aoden vaguely felt something strange.
After experiencing it seriously and taking several exams, Qingdeng gradually figured out where this strange feeling came from.
It’s the look in Oishi’s eyes.
After the battle started, Oishi Sakujiro showed a completely different look from the casual look before the battle.
There is no joy or sadness. But it is not the kind of soullessness without any emotion, nor is it the kind of coldness that looks down on people.
But indifference.
Pure indifference.
The indifference of not treating people as human beings.
The "not treating people as human beings" here does not mean the arrogant or domineering kind of contempt for people.
It’s about not treating humans as biological beings…
This feeling will be particularly obvious every time Oishi Shojiro raises his sword to kill Aoto.
The gaze he cast towards Qingden didn't look like he was looking at a person, but more like he was looking at a puppet waiting to be smashed to pieces by him.
Such eyes, this attitude towards life... are extremely rare.
Therefore, even Sanako, who had seen many warriors of all kinds, could not hide the surprise on his face.
Qingdeng immediately concluded that the young man opposite him who was similar to him must have killed many people.
And he most likely has a certain anti-social personality. At least he has no resistance to hurting people, and he has no reverence for life.
Qingdeng has fought many opponents of various types, but this is the first time Qingdeng has encountered this kind of "killing machine".
A strange fresh feeling surrounded Qingdeng's whole body.
"snort."
Qingden grinned, slowly spread his legs, turned sideways, slowly raised the bamboo sword in his hand, and switched his stance to the Xia Duan style.
All the external sounds and distracting thoughts in the mind that were related to the battle in front of me quickly dissipated like the ebbing waves due to the activation of "Gathering God".
"Come here on horseback."
Aoto's voice was very soft, but Oishi Kazujiro seemed to hear it.
He cracked the corners of his mouth like Qingdeng, revealing his strong white teeth.
The next moment, he straightened up the bamboo sword in his hand and stepped forward. The bamboo sword instantly drew a half arc in the air.
Oishi Kazujiro's sword and body collided heavily with Aoto's sword and body, who was standing there, waiting for the opponent to attack.
"Well……"
In the midst of the commotion, one of the two men did not know who was letting out a low cry of pain - when everyone on the sidelines leaned out to take a look, they saw Oishi Shojiro holding the bamboo sword that had been knocked back, striding towards him.
He retreated more than 2 meters.
The deep cry of pain that Sanako and others just heard came from the mouth of Oishi Kazujiro.
In the sword fight just now, Oishi Kazujiro was at a disadvantage, and his power was suppressed by Aoto. After the two swords struck each other, Aoto's body did not move at all, but Oishi Kazujiro was shaken back by the rebounded force.
While Oishi Kazujiro was retreating and his posture was unstable, Aoto made his move.
He used his best Kasumi-dan move to get up and struck at Oishi Kazujiro's chest with a straight thrust.
The chest is an absolute vital part of the human body. If this blow is solid, the winner can be directly determined whether in a sparring session in the dojo or in a real sword fight.
At this moment of lightning and flint, Oishi Kazujiro stabilized his body at an astonishing speed, then raised his sword to block, deflecting Ayoto's slash to the side, and parrying Ayoto's bamboo sword.
Then, under the illumination of the candlelight, the two figures, stretched out and facing each other with swords reflected on the smooth floor, "fused" together at the speed of chasing lightning and wind.
However, while pitching, the bamboo swords kept making clashing sounds, and they had struck each other 12 or 3 times, accompanied by fierce shouts.
Aoto uses the "monkey cry" of the current flow at every opportunity, trying to sneak attack the opponent with the "sonic attack" when the opponent is not prepared.
All it takes is a moment's effort... As long as Oishi Kazujiro can be frightened by his cry and distracted for a moment, Aomori can put an end to this victory.
However, Oishi Shojiro showed extremely strong fighting qualities.
No matter how loud Aoto's roar was, no matter how exquisite the timing of Aoto's "sonic sneak attack" was, Oishi Kazujiro remained unmoved.
Compared to Aoto, Oishi Kazujiro is obviously much quieter. From the beginning of the battle to the present, he has not said a single word or issued a single shout.
Silent sword, silent way of killing...
It was so late and then so fast that the onlookers not far away...especially Kōnosuke Kitahara were on tenterhooks. A scene suddenly appeared.
Oishi Kazujiro suddenly lowered his sword sharply and suddenly switched to the lower stance.
His legs, which were strong and strong but as flexible as whips, took a big step forward with a "thump", closing the distance between himself and Qingdeng in one breath. At the same time, the bamboo sword slid on the ground and pulled out a straight line.
, a black line that goes straight to Qingdeng’s waist and abdomen.
The timing and attack direction of Oishi Kazujiro's attack were perfectly chosen. Although Aoto's consciousness reacted, it was difficult for his body to respond effectively due to the angle.
He didn't have time to swing his sword to deflect or step back to dodge, so Aoto could only hold the bamboo sword diagonally on his waist, where Oishi Shojiro's sword must pass.
Snap - the bamboo swords intersected, Qingdeng deflected the opponent's attack, but because the defense was too hasty, his body posture suddenly entered an extremely dangerous situation that could easily be exploited by the enemy.
Oishi Kazujiro is worthy of being a veteran with strong fighting skills and rich combat experience. He immediately handed out a new sword, hoping to cut down Qingdeng with one blow, and decide the outcome in one go.
But, at this moment, just like a slow-moving movie suddenly started to play fast, Aoto's hands and feet started to move at a speed half a minute faster than Oishi Kazujiro.
First, he jumped sideways as light as a swallow, and got to a position where the big stone Shojiro couldn't cut it.
After jumping up and down, his body briefly flying in the air, he assumed the upper right posture, and then from the upper right to the lower left, he slashed Oishi Shojiro's shoulder with the force of a waterfall!
The face of Oishi Kazujiro under the mask changed slightly, and his eyes were too cold to look like human eyes. He regained a look of astonishment that reminded people of: "Oh, this person is a human being."
He raised his bamboo sword horizontally, trying to take Qingdeng's move, but it was still a moment too late...

PS: Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!
I wish all lovers in the world will eventually get married! But I guess many book lovers have no partners, hahahaha~ (gloating at the misfortune.jpg)
In the last chapter, Konosuke Kitahara covered his chest and shouted "Tachibana Takashi..." - this kind of plot was obviously an important plot at first glance, and no one commented.
At the end of the chapter, when the author said that he didn’t have anyone to spend Valentine’s Day with, there were many comments...
Don't pay attention to such trivial things! Kuya! Pay more attention to the plot! I want to see more how the book friends think about the past of Tachibana Takayuki and the Shimizu clan, and who Tachibana Takayuki is and what he has done.
