Chapter 856 The middle gate faces off! Boss Kiryu is defeated! 5500
Boss Kiryu's chest rose and fell in an odd rhythm.
It was obvious that he just changed his breathing rhythm, but in this moment, he seemed to have changed into a different person, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable powerful aura erupting from his whole body!
At the same time, his eyes and expression became extremely strange.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing special about him, just his calm eyes and calm expression.
But in fact, it is really inappropriate to use ordinary words such as "calm", "calm", "no sorrow and no joy" to describe it.
To be more precise, his eyes and expressions gave people an..."empty" feeling.
It seemed that he was not looking at anything, but he seemed to be looking at everything in sight and the more distant world.
Looking at Boss Kiryu who finally showed his true skills, Hannya grinned with an excited smile.
"'The breathing method that allows you to freely enter the realm of selflessness'... No matter how many times I see it, it is still so incredible!"
As he spoke, he spread his legs, held his sword in front of him, and stood ready.
"Master! Before your physical strength is exhausted, let's attack quickly!"
Boss Kiryu didn't say anything, he just silently raised the tip of the knife and switched to the more aggressive eight-souling stance.
In fact, what Prajna just said is not wrong at all.
Boss Kiryu was really worried about his own physical strength, so he didn't enter the "selfless state" at the beginning.
He originally wanted to try Prajna's trick first, and then when the time was right, he would enter the "selfless state" and defeat Prajna in one go.
However... regardless of Prajna's strength, just the series of side effects caused by physical aging made him feel helpless.
A move that could be easily blocked 7 years ago is now extremely difficult to defend against.
The attack that I could easily avoid 7 years ago is now very embarrassing.
Boxing is afraid of young people... This sentence is still applicable in the field of kendo.
As one goes and the other goes, he will be defeated within a few rounds.
Although it's much earlier than expected... But we can only reveal our trump card!
According to his own estimation, after entering the "selfless state", he can only fight at full strength for about 3 minutes.
In other words - the next 3 minutes will determine the outcome of this battle!
The two re-arranged their stance, looking directly at each other from a distance of about 10 meters.
The scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the gentle breeze blowing.
It seems like a long time ago, but in fact it was just a snap of the fingers.
Bang!
There was a sound of kicking hard on the ground - Boss Kiryu disappeared from the spot, and there was a small hole made by kicking where he originally stood!
Prajna only felt that there was a huge monster in front of him, overwhelming and overwhelming!
What followed was a silver-white sword light that covered the entire field of vision!
Boss Kiryu aimed at Hannya's eyes and slashed them down quickly!
Although the oncoming force is fierce, Prajna is already prepared to deal with it.
"Drink!"
He waved the Nagasone Kotetsu in his hand, and instantly drew a bright light in the air, intercepting Boss Kiryu's slashing attack.
Nagaso Ni Kotetsu is indeed the top sword in the world. He blocked such a powerful slash without leaving even a gap.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
With another drink, and with a "dang" sound, he knocked away Boss Kiryu's knife, then swung the blade diagonally towards the opponent's chest.
Unexpectedly, Boss Kiryu was faster.
After the knife was knocked away, Boss Kiryu pulled the knife back to his hand at an incredible speed, repositioned his offensive movements, and then slashed hard at Hannya's head!
As a last resort, Prajna could only change his attack into a dodge, awkwardly ducking to the side.
The blade of the knife swept across the base of his ear, leaving a faint scar and blood oozing out.
"Selfless Realm" - as the name suggests, after entering this realm, the mind will turn into nothingness, and emptiness will become nothingness. It is the legendary martial arts realm and is considered the ultimate in martial arts and Zen.
Boss Kiryu, who has now entered the "selfless state", is horribly focused! It is far beyond what ordinary words such as "concentrate" and "concentrate" can describe.
His strength, speed, and the sophistication of his moves have all increased a lot!
With his arms that danced like swords and flowers quickly, his body as light as a butterfly, and his agile steps like a swimming fish, there was no clue that he was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old!
The positions of the two suddenly reversed.
It was just now that Boss Kiryu was suppressed.
But now, the oppressed person becomes prajna.
In order to win the battle quickly, Boss Kiryu went all out and unleashed a fierce offensive without stopping.
One knife after another, deadly.
Under the onslaught of Boss Kiryu, Hannya defended more and more and fought back less and less.
Although the battle situation was unfavorable, Prajna was not discouraged or timid.
He was like a child who got his favorite gift, and the joy in his cheeks became more and more intense.
Boss Kiryu's biggest weakness is his physical strength weakened by old age.
Therefore, for Prajna, the most advantageous countermeasure is to adopt a turtle-shell defense and fight a war of attrition with Boss Kiryu until his physical strength is exhausted.
However, Prajna did not do this.
He did not use this trick, but launched a radical offensive, attacking with attack!
Prajna, who was always talkative and fond of gossiping, no longer cared about talking at this time. He held his breath and focused his whole body on the fierce attack and defense in front of him.
The light and shadow of swords were very dazzling in the bright sun, and the sound of continuous fierce battles directly covered the sound of the wind, but it was a pity that no one heard it.
Boss Kiryu swiped his knife diagonally and cut Hannya's skirt.
Hannya rushed forward, gliding and silently approaching Kiryu's boss, and struck him hard on the side. Although the latter dodged quickly, a small part of the haori hem was cut off.
The next moment, Hannya continued to cling to Boss Kiryu without hesitation and struck the second blow.
Boss Kiryu retreated again to avoid Nagasone Kotetsu's blade, and at the same time used the twisting and dodging movement to throw away the broken haori on his body with a "whoosh".
Before Hannya could launch his third move, Boss Kiryu secretly used a fierce force, concentrated his power on his toes, and thrust into Hannya's arms like a gust of wind, interrupting his offensive and regaining the initiative in the battle.
This round of fierce fighting lasted quite long.
This is a straight stab.
It's a horizontal cut over there.
This is dodge.
There's a pursuit over there.
The attacks here are endless.
There is water and soil over there.
There is no showing of weakness here.
Over there, every move must be returned.
Flashing around, imaginary and real.
The figure and footwork of the two are dazzling.
If you have poor eyesight, you may not be able to see clearly the movements of the master and apprentice. You can only see the two afterimages flashing, moving and colliding repeatedly!
With the blessing of the "selfless state", Boss Kiryu seems to have transformed into a knife-wielding machine without emotion.
His mentality is extremely calm, so calm that it’s scary!
Not to mention negative emotions such as anxiety and impatience, I can't feel any emotional fluctuations from my body, just like a mirror-like lake.
And this is one of the biggest features of the "selfless state" - there is absolutely no distracting thoughts in the mind, and all emotions and desires disappear, eliminating the possibility of emotional mishaps.
But even in such a powerful state, which is like divine help, Boss Kiryu can only have a slight advantage.
And this advantage is far from enough to turn into a victory!
Boss Kiryu showed his true skills - and so did Prajna!
He opened his eyes wide and without even blinking, stared at every move and move of Boss Kiryu.
In just a few breaths, he adapted to the opponent's attack frequency, and then adjusted the rhythm of his movements to the extent that he could compete with the opponent.
On the one hand, he was able to bend and bend freely, making Boss Kiryu's deadly offensive completely in vain, and his methods were flexible and diverse.
On the other hand, he took advantage of every opportunity to launch a counterattack, and he was calm and undisturbed.
Stormy attack and defense...the turning point suddenly comes!
Suddenly, Prajna suddenly held the knife to his chest, stepped back, and temporarily avoided the sharp edge - it seemed like this, but what was the reality?
The fact is that he pretended to retreat and lured Boss Kiryu to attack.
How can Boss Kiryu, who has gone through hundreds of battles and fought at a young age until he is now in his nineties, not understand the little thoughts of his disciple?
He saw through Prajna's attempt with just one glance.
However, he had no intention of retreating, but chose to take advantage of the situation and attack without hesitation!
Then he saw his body rushing forward like a beast hunting for prey! The momentum was so fierce that Prajna felt like a hurricane was coming towards his face, and his hair was messy!
In an instant, the "silver lightning" swept up the light dust and fallen leaves on the ground, and struck Prajna's chest and abdomen.
When time jumped to the next moment, Prajna used all his strength to pull up onions from the dry land and jumped up.
Boss Kiryu's sword light, Hannya's figure - two afterimages, one bright and one dark, passing each other, separated by only a hair's length.
Although Prajna escaped the disaster, the big tree behind him was unlucky.
After the terrifying sword light swept through the empty air, it hit the trunk of the big tree.
This big tree is quite old and requires at least two adults to hug its trunk.
Even the most skilled "Wooden Ax General" would need to swing the ax more than a dozen times to chop him down.
But with just one blow from Boss Kiryu, the big tree was cut into two parts, and the cuts were extremely neat.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
As the towering tree collapsed, a huge movement was heard immediately, and countless fallen leaves fell down, causing a rain of leaves.
Suddenly, the surrounding space was filled with a "rustling" sound, which seriously interfered with Kiryu's boss's hearing.
Boss Kiryu raised his ears and quickly scanned his eyes, looking for Hannya's figure.
With a snap of his fingers, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and immediately turned his head to look - in the rain of leaves, Hannya spread his legs, lowered his waist, Nagasone Kotetsu's blade had been retracted into its sheath, and he held the sheath opening with his left hand.
Press the handle of the knife with your right hand.
Familiar posture...
For Mr. Kiryu, this is a very familiar posture!
When Boss Kiryu saw this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a needle-like cold light burst out from behind his lenses.
"Master, come on!"
Prajna said excitedly.
"If I don't use this trick to decide the outcome with you, I will really feel regretful!"
Boss Kiryu said nothing.
He only silently took half a step back, put his left foot behind him, then lowered his waist, flipped his right wrist, and the blade drew a graceful arc in mid-air, changing from an overhand grip to an inverted grip, and then was sheathed inch by inch.
Center... assumes the exact same sword-drawing stance as Prajna!
"Master, this move is your life-long effort, so...I want you to see how far I have studied this move no matter what!"
Boss Kiryu responded calmly:
"Stop talking nonsense and just take action."
Prajna curled up the corners of his mouth - at this moment, his aura suddenly changed! The originally awe-inspiring aura gradually shrank inwards, and the whole person became surprisingly...quiet.
Fallen leaves were still flying between the two of them, cutting their field of vision into countless small dots. They could only observe each other's situation through this "broken space".
"..."
"..."
Ka.
Someone's knife was the first to make a sound, and the air vibrated slightly.
In an instant, this slight vibration turned into a terrifying movement like a landslide and tsunami!
An old man and a young man rushed out at the same time like cannonballs, rushing towards each other! The air was stirred up and roared, and hurricane-like air currents were set off, and then rolled and scattered in all directions.
The fallen leaves that had just fallen on the ground were swept into the air again by the air current, making a rustling sound.
In the rain of leaves, the two of them approached each other at the same time, and both entered each other's best attack range!
Drawing the sword technique and flowing light!
Nagasone Kotetsu's blade popped out of its sheath, shredding the air and fallen leaves along the way, cutting a fleeting gap, and swiped straight towards Boss Kiryu's chest.
Boss Kiryu also drew his sword at the same moment.
However……
Just when the knife was unsheathed, his facial expression suddenly changed - his right leg became weak due to being overwhelmed.
Although this is not a serious mistake, in a duel of this level, any small mistake may lead to irreparable consequences!
Due to the sudden weakness of his hind legs, Kiryu Boss was unable to successfully borrow force from the earth, so the speed of the sword was slowed down by a minute, and he was unable to reach the maximum speed when the two swords collided——
clang!!!
A deafening clang.
The two swords fired with the same move collided heavily in the air.
The impact of the impact shook out like an explosion, flying countless fallen leaves around, forming a vacuum zone with the master and apprentice as the center.
There are still falling leaves outside, but there are not even half a leaf here...the contrast is obvious.
Because the sound of the impact was so loud, people couldn't help but think that at least one person's knife was broken - in fact, this was indeed the case.
The moment the two swords collided, a flash of light shot into the sky, and then fell not far away - looking closely, it was a half-cut blade.
It is self-evident who the one who broke the knife is...
All the Prajna swords were present, but in the palm of Boss Kiryu's hand, only the handle and a small half of the blade were left.
The outcome of this "middle gate matchup" just now is already clear.
Of course there was a lack of quality in the swords, but the main reason was the mistake made by Boss Kiryu just now...
Although the knife in his hand was broken, he did not lose his will to fight.
I saw him quickly adjusting his posture and preparing to continue to compete with Prajna with this broken knife.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly bulged, and then he collapsed to the ground while clutching his chest.
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
The rapid coughing, the violent heaving of the shoulders... "The breathing of the source" is difficult to continue.
The strange light in his eyes disappeared.
Hannya lowered his head and looked at Boss Kiryu:
"Have you run out of energy? It's faster than I expected."
He said that he released his fighting stance, naturally put the knife back to his side, and then looked sideways at Boss Kiryu's right leg that was spasming crazily.
"Master, even if you are as powerful as you, you can't escape the ravages of time."
"If you had swung the sword strong just now, regardless of whether you could win or not, you would certainly not have ended up like this with a broken sword."
"Tsk... Even though I won, it's really not as satisfying as beating an old man... It's really depressing..."
"If I have the chance, I really want to compete with you in your prime when you were young!"
Having said this, Hannya put on an excited expression as if he was asking for credit, and asked Boss Kiryu enthusiastically:
"Master, how is it?"
"Compared to before, my strength has greatly increased. I'm almost a completely different person, aren't I?"
"After personally experiencing my power, can you still open your eyes and say you are blind, criticizing me for not improving my strength?"
The more Prajna talked, the more excited he became, as if he was jumping up and down.
Boss Kiryu has gradually regained his composure.
However, due to exhaustion of physical strength, he now only felt that his limbs were so heavy that he could not even stand up and could only barely support his upper body.
Looking at the smug Hannya, Boss Kiryu chuckled a few times:
"Prajna, I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you."
"Through the duel just now, I am even more convinced: your strength has indeed not become stronger, and you are still standing still."
As soon as these words came out, Prajna was stunned for a moment, and then his facial expression was dominated by strong anger.
"Hey, Master, this is boring... Do you still want to be tough now?"
Boss Kiryu shook his head gently:
"No, I'm not being arrogant, I'm telling the truth: your strength has indeed not become stronger."
"Prajna, you misunderstood something."
"The strength I'm talking about doesn't mean how strong your strength becomes, how fast your speed becomes, or how sophisticated your moves become."
"What I mean is your realm!"
Prajna frowned:
"realm?"
Boss Kiryu nodded lightly:
"Although your physical fitness and skills have improved a lot, your realm is still at the same level."
"The reason is, as I just said, your eyes can only focus on yourself and ignore the world outside you."
"Human beings are part of the world. Seeing only yourself and not seeing the world is a wrong path - if you cannot deeply understand this, you will not reach a higher realm."
After hearing this, Prajna sneered "ha":
"'Higher realm'? Master, do you mean the 'selfless realm'?"
"You don't have to worry about this!"
"I have recently reached the threshold of the 'no-self realm'!"
"It won't take long before I can reach this legendary realm without using your breathing method..."
Before Hannya finished speaking, Boss Kiryu interrupted him with a joking laugh:
"'Selfless realm'? What does this mean?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the sky.
"I am referring to a higher realm!"
Hannya stared at Boss Kiryu, his face turning blue and white.
After a while, he spoke quietly:
"That's enough..."
"I've heard enough of your lies."
"Master, are you so unwilling to admit that I am powerful? Are you so unwilling to admit that I am good enough to inherit your mantle?"
As he spoke, he slowly raised Nagasone Kotetsu, pointing the blade directly at Boss Kiryu's left shoulder.
"Even if I am strong enough to abuse you, you still don't want to look at me?"
Boss Kiryu looked at each other without fear, with a calm expression:
"If you want to use violence to suppress me, it will be useless. Your blade is not scary, it is just a claw of a wild beast."
When Prajna heard the words, he slowly lowered his head, and the shadow cleverly covered his face.
"Beast...Okay! After being bitten off one hand by the beast, I want to see if you can still talk nonsense!"
The moment he finished shouting, Hannya suddenly swung the sword in his palm and struck Kiryu boss on the left shoulder.
His intention is very clear - he wants to chop off one of Kiryu's boss's arms!
The blade of the knife is hanging in the wind, leaving no doubt that after one breath, there will be a severed arm on the ground.
At this breath, Prajna's expression was ferocious, and his facial lines were horribly distorted.
At this moment, Boss Kiryu closed his eyes calmly and waited for his fate.
Also at this breath...a "strong wind" suddenly struck!
After this "violent wind" rushed between Boss Kiryu and Hannya, with a loud "clang" sound, Hannya's sword was held firmly in the air.
After a breath, this "violent wind" turned into reality - a young samurai wearing a light green feather fabric.
