Chapter 765: Master-disciple duel! Face the 'realm of selflessness'!45
00】
The master and apprentice reunited after a long absence...the first thing the master said was such a harsh word.
Qingdeng, who didn't understand why, was stunned on the spot.
"Tong..."
Before he could say anything, a shining silver sword struck him head-on!
Although he didn't understand what was going on, Qingdeng's body started to act instinctively at the moment when the sword light struck!
I saw Qingdeng suddenly lower his body weight, step back, and open a distance.
At the same time, he raised his left hand, pressed the mouth of Vairocana's sheath at his waist, put his thumb against the blade of the sword, and gently pushed it - click - to reveal the falcon used to insert the scabbard.
Buzz!
Another sword light leaped into the air.
Qingden was obviously the one who struck last, but the light of his sword struck the opponent's sword first.
The two slashes collided violently, bursting out with green-white sparks and a deafening clang.
In the next breath, as if they had been burned, the two of them retreated at the same time, pulling 7 or 8 steps away from each other, and then both assumed the stance of Canshin.
This sudden and fierce confrontation between the two made everyone at the scene stunned, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The guard responsible for guarding the gate of the camp was just a passerby passing by... Everyone at the scene was shocked speechless by Boss Kiryu's blast of a sword and Aomori's thunderous defensive counterattack.
The two people at the center of the battle ignored the attention of the people around them and stared at each other.
After a while, Boss Kiryu's originally tense facial lines slowly relaxed.
"... Mr. Ju, you have grown up in skills."
As he said that, he released his stance, put the tip of the knife back into the sheath, and put the knife back into the sheath with a "pop" sound.
Seeing that the opponent had sheathed the knife, Qingdeng slowly stood up straight, shook the knife out of habit, and then sheathed the knife.
"Boss Kiryu, don't be scary suddenly..."
As he spoke, he expressed a tone that was half helpless and half joking.
"It's very scary to order someone to draw a sword for no reason, and then swing the sword to kill someone without any reason."
"Even if you want to give me a 'surprise', don't do it in this way."
Boss Kiryu shook his head gently.
"No, I didn't want to give you a 'surprise'."
"The knife I just made was very serious."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and for some special reasons, I am eager to kill you... I want to have a real sword fight with you."
"But no matter what, this is not a place where we can let go of our hands and feet."
"We can only give up halfway."
Having said that, Boss Kiryu turned to look at the growing crowd of onlookers around him.
Although he calmly changed his words midway and silently changed the phrase "cut you", Qingdeng didn't pay much attention.
He focused all his attention on the other party's words, "I want to have a real fight with you."
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, then smiled meaningfully:
"In that case... let's change to another place!"
…
…
In no time—
Shinsengumi Camp, a private dojo exclusively for Ayoto——
The dojo dedicated to Qingteng's practice covers an area of 200 square meters.
Just talking about the area, it is amazing.
However, due to his busy schedule and the fact that Qingdeng's personal strength has reached a bottleneck, it is no longer beneficial to practice "dead strength" in the dojo, so Qingdeng has not been to this dojo for a long time.
At this moment, this huge dojo finally welcomed the long-lost hustle and bustle.
Bosses Qingto and Kiryu are located on the east and west sides of the dojo.
They all took off their extraneous things.
Carry-on luggage, wakizashi... all the things that would hinder the battle were removed.
At this moment, the only things left on their bodies were the clothes they were wearing and the sabers on their waists.
Boss Kiryu tied his sleeves with cuff bands and asked Aonto:
"Tangerine-kun, when was the last time we went to war like this?"
Qingden shrugged:
"As far as I know - there has never been such a time."
"Oh? No?"
Qingdeng said with certainty:
"Indeed not."
"We have never had a formal contest."
"The only few times we played against each other were just small fights for practice."
Boss Kiryu nodded thoughtfully.
"That's it..."
"Then... today's battle is the first contest between you and me!"
Boss Kiryu’s eyes burst out with light full of vitality.
"Ha, you and I have been friends for so long, but I didn't expect that we haven't even had a spar."
"This is my fault as a master."
He slowly spread his legs, drew the sword in his hand, and started to move in the middle.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ju, feel free to come over here!"
"Let us take advantage of today's opportunity to have an enthusiastic 'exchange'."
"Let me see how much you have grown in the past six months or so."
Qingden smiled and didn't say a word. He just silently pulled out Vairocana, raised the tip of the knife, and adopted the Blue Eyes pose.
Unfortunately, there were no spectators for this unique confrontation.
If there were any spectators here, they would probably gasp involuntarily at this moment.
The weapons used by these two masters and apprentices to compete were not wooden swords or bamboo swords at all, but real ones!
Moreover, given the astonishing aura lingering on them, it is really difficult for people to think that this is just a friendly swordsmanship sparring.
I saw Boss Kiryu tightening his heels, and his whole body was stable, with no flaws at all from the toes to the tips of his hair.
His slender body seemed to instantly merge with the knife in his palm, becoming as solid as a rock.
It is impossible to see that this is a posture that an old man who is nearly a hundred years old can put on.
--sharp!
Qingdeng couldn't help but admire secretly in his heart.
Even before the fight, Qingdeng felt the "pressure" coming towards him.
He had experienced a similar sense of oppression from Chiba Sadakichi, Saito Yakuro and others.
This is the sense of oppression that veterans who have devoted most of their lives to kendo and have been immersed in kendo for decades can exude!
When fighting against Kiryu's boss, Aomori didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
He moved forward inch by inch with his feet sticking to the ground, shortening the distance between the two sides.
Boss Kiryu remained motionless, his face was expressionless, and he had no fear. His eyes were fixed on Qingteng without blinking, and he allowed Qingneng to get closer.
Aoto immediately understood the opponent's intention: Boss Kiryu was waiting for him to attack!
Now that the other party's intention was obvious, Qingdeng no longer hesitated.
"……call……"
Qingdeng exhaled translucent turbid air.
In the next breath, a terrifying sharp energy spurted out from Qingdeng's body!
There was a bang. Qingden concentrated his strength on his back foot, kicked the ground violently, and rushed towards Boss Kiryu like a cannonball!
But in the blink of an eye, he was approaching the opponent.
Vairocana crossed the air, and there was a "pop" sound that cut through the air. He pulled out a purple arc and swept it diagonally towards Boss Kiryu's neck.
The speed was so fast that the blade was no longer visible, only the light of the blade was visible.
At the same time as Aoto swung the sword, Boss Kiryu suddenly spread his arms, raised the sword over his head, and while deploying defense, retreated to the right without leaving a trace - this gait had skillfully blocked Aoto's slashing blow.
Dissolved into the invisible.
Seeing that one move failed, Qingdeng quickly changed his moves.
The diagonal sweep turns into an upward lift.
The upward stroke then turns into a straight thrust.
The straight thrust turns into a downward slash.
One move follows another, one move follows another, in an endless succession.
??????????.??????
Qingdeng changed his usual steady tactics of "defend first, attack later".
Not only did he attack as soon as he came up, but he also swung his sword in a wide and wide range, giving him a posture that said he was "definitely going to cut the boss of Kiryu into fine pieces."
The dojo, which was quiet one second ago, was filled with the sound of treading on the ground and the clang of swords striking each other this second.
The two figures crisscrossed each other in the dojo, fighting inextricably.
Suddenly, Boss Kiryu stabbed his lower body diagonally.
This blow is very tricky.
Even Qingdeng had to temporarily avoid the edge and retreat.
Taking advantage of Aoto's retreat, Boss Kiryu took advantage of the situation and seized the initiative in the battle.
This time it was Boss Kiryu's turn to take the initiative.
He suddenly stepped forward and struck Qingdeng in the waist with his knife.
The two of them passed each other in an instant.
Although Boss Kiryu's blow was dodged, it was not fruitless - he cut the clothes at Aonto's waist.
The two people who met each other immediately found their feet after running 5 or 6 steps, then turned around and faced each other again, fighting together.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the battle situation cannot be said to be one-sided, Qingdeng does have an absolute advantage.
So far in the battle, Aomori has almost pinned down the boss of Kiryu and beat him.
Whether it's the strength, speed, or physical reflexes of sword swings, none of Kiryu's bosses can compare to Aomori.
Although Boss Kiryu could occasionally launch sharp counterattacks, he always failed and was quickly countered by Aonto.
After the two sides fought like this for another 6 or 7 rounds, Qingden frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
clang!!
Boss Kiryu deflected Aoto's slash again.
This time, Qingdeng did not launch a new round of offensive, but took advantage of the situation and jumped back, creating a gap of several meters.
Boss Kiryu probably realized that Aomori had something to say, so he didn't pursue him.
As he expected, Qingdeng immediately released his fighting stance after retreating and said seriously:
"Boss Kiryu, let's stop this boring fight!"
"It's really useless to continue fighting like this."
"You and I should be very clear, right? As long as there are five more rounds, I can defeat you in one go."
"So... let me see your 'selfless realm'!"
After saying that, Qingdeng's eyes were filled with surging fighting spirit.
To this day, he still firmly remembers the shock and emotion he experienced after seeing the "selfless state" for the first time.
"The Breath of Source" is the door to enter the "realm of selflessness".
According to Kiryu's boss, the essence of "Source's Breathing" is to stimulate the brain through special breathing methods, so as to achieve the purpose of concentrating and getting rid of distracting thoughts.
Therefore, as long as you practice the "Breath of the Source" to the peak, you can enter the "selfless state" at will.
Facts have proved that Boss Kiryu was not bluffing.
He once personally proved to Qingden that the "Breath of Source" practiced to its peak can indeed enter the "selfless realm" at will, and how terrifying the "selfless realm" is to the blessing of one's own strength.
Thinking back then, when faced with Kiryu's boss who had entered the "selfless state", Qingto had no power to fight back.
An old man who couldn't defeat him at all could actually turn the tide of the battle in one breath after entering this realm!
At this time, Qingdeng could not suppress the excitement in his heart - it turns out that there is such a powerful martial arts realm in this world!
From then on, Qingdeng had two more thoughts in his heart.
First, work hard to practice the "Breath of the Source", with the goal of becoming the boss of Kiryu, and practice it to the peak.
Second, work hard to temper yourself and strive to defeat Boss Kiryu in the "selfless realm" as soon as possible!
At this moment, Qingdeng eagerly wanted to see if he could avenge his shame now!
Faced with Qingden's fervent request, Boss Kiryu smiled helplessly.
"The 'no-self realm' is my trump card."
"It's very physically demanding."
"For me, this is no longer a skill that I can use without any burden."
"I don't want to use it unless I have to."
"But... I have to admit that what you just said is quite right."
"If I don't show my true ability, I really won't be able to do anything to you..."
Speaking of this, he showed an expression that was half relieved and half sad.
"Okay, then... let's get to the point!"
The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene changed strangely.
Then I saw Boss Kiryu lowering his eyelids and his chest rising and falling slowly with a strange rhythm.
After a while, a strange light burst out from under his lowered eyelids.
At the same time, Qingdeng's facial expression gradually became serious.
At first glance, Boss Kiryu seems to have not changed much.
However, Qingdeng, who was facing him, clearly felt that the opponent he was facing seemed to be a different person!
If there is nothing special about the Kiryu boss just now.
So the current Kiryu boss...is like a ball of water.
Water is invisible, colorless and odorless, but it can freely change shape according to the surrounding environment, making it difficult for people to predict its changes.
An indescribable sense of pressure rushed towards Qingdeng with the force of "black clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it".
Boss Kiryu made a habitual swing of his sword, and immediately assumed an extremely standard mid-section stance.
Viewed from the front, Boss Kiryu's body seems to have been split in half by a knife, giving off a strange and strange feeling.
"Come on, Mr. Tachibana."
After entering the "selfless state", in addition to the eyes becoming indifferent, without sadness or joy, even the tone of speaking became particularly calm.
Qingdeng was fearless, cheered up, shook off the pressure on his shoulders, and stepped forward to attack!
This time, Qingdeng also showed his true skills!
The distance of several meters passed in an instant, and Vairochana slashed straight towards Boss Kiryu's face.
Boss Kiryu deflected the blow effortlessly. When he pulled the saber back to his hand, he made full use of the "retracting" action and turned it into a part of the "counterattack", attacking the retrieved blade at a tricky angle.
Xiang Qingdeng’s shoulders.
Compared with just now, Boss Kiryu's various physical functions, including strength and speed, have all improved a lot!
Looking at the strength on his waist and his vigorous swing of the sword, one would never imagine that this was the same person, let alone an old man who was almost a hundred years old.
Qingdeng grinned involuntarily when he saw this.
——Yes...that's right...that's how it is!
Aomori didn't retreat but moved forward, facing the blade coming from Boss Kiryu, and marching forward bravely!
In an instant, two sword lights, one purple and one silver, were seen flashing in the dojo.
The light and shadow of swords are dazzling.
The fight between the two covered every part of the dojo.
Sometimes they would fight in the corner of the dojo.
They sometimes launched fierce attacks and defenses in the center of the dojo that made people dare not even breathe.
Boss Kiryu is no longer in the suppressed situation before, and is inextricably matched with Aoto.
During the long fight, some small scratches scratched by the blade gradually appeared on the bodies of both parties, adding a heroic touch to this "master-disciple showdown".
Qingdeng's sword force gradually became more and more powerful.
Boss Kiryu's sword power is no less impressive.
Sooner or later, as if they had agreed in advance, the two of them quickly retreated with their heels raising light dust, leaving a distance of about 10 meters.
Looking closely - the next moment they distanced themselves, the two of them were in the same posture.
Press down the lower plate, support the sheath with your left hand, and caress the handle with your right hand.
It’s the “flowing light” of the sword-drawing technique!
