Chapter 857 The innate selfless realm Holy Body! 5100
Aoden, who emerged from the diagonal stab, was half-crouching, holding the sword with his right hand and raising it above his head to block Hannya's slashing blow. His free left hand was protecting Boss Kiryu under him.
The sudden change made Boss Kiryu and Prajna stunned.
However, in just a moment, their facial expressions changed completely.
The stunned expression on Boss Kiryu's face was replaced by surprise and a touch of surprise.
As for Prajna, there was only pure shock in his cheeks.
clang!
Qingdeng secretly used a fierce force, flicked Prajna's knife away with a "clang" sound, and then used the opportunity to use a reverse cassock slash, sweeping towards Prajna's chest.
At this moment, Prajna sensed a strong danger signal.
Driven by instinct, he immediately leaned up and dodged the blade with a slight risk. Then he jumped back again and opened a distance of 10 meters before stopping.
Qingden stood up slowly, then took half a step forward, protecting Boss Kiryu behind him.
I saw him pointing the blade at Prajna obliquely, staring at the opponent with both eyes, assuming a fierce posture that was ready to fight at any time.
"Boss Kiryu, are you injured?"
He said this without looking back.
"Other than being tired and feeling nauseous, it's nothing serious."
Boss Kiryu said as he raised his eyes, looked Aomori up and down with a smile on his face:
"Ji Jun, why did you become a calico cat?"
Qingdeng laughed at himself:
"Honestly, if I weren't in such a hurry to find you, I would have really wanted to take a shower first."
In order to escape from the burning Tenryuji Temple, Qingteng spent a lot of effort.
There are flames everywhere, thick smoke everywhere, and heat waves everywhere... Fortunately, Qingdeng is not an extraordinary person, otherwise he may not be able to escape smoothly.
With his extraordinary hearing, he could identify where the flames were smaller, and then rushed out of the fire scene in one go.
Although he successfully escaped, he inevitably turned into the funny look he is now.
His body was covered with embers from burning wood, and the skin exposed outside his clothes was covered with traces of black smoke, with patches of black and white.
Especially on the face, only a few places such as the eyes, mouth, and tip of the nose are still white.
At first glance, it does look like a calico cat.
Under the fierce attack of the Tauchang Army, the Changzhou Army, which was unable to fight back, began to retreat across the board.
This rare battle in ten years only lasted for two days to determine the outcome, and the Tongchang Army achieved an overwhelming victory!
For the shogunate and the Sabaku faction, today's battle is basically over.
But for Qingdeng, today's battle has just begun!
I bid farewell to Boss Kiryu openly last night, but his safety always concerns Qingto's heart.
So, as soon as the battle started today, Aomori used all his strength to attack the Choshu Army like crazy! Just to find the boss of Kiryu as soon as possible and confirm his condition!
After escaping from Tenryuji Temple, Ayoto immediately followed the traces of the Choshu Army and plunged into the lush Arashiyama to continue looking for Boss Kiryu.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, fortunately the result was quite gratifying.
While traveling through the mountains and forests, with the blessing of his talent "Perception of Wind +4", he suddenly heard the continuous sound of gold and iron striking each other - as one of the top swordsmen in the world, Qingdeng immediately heard this sound
This is the kind of news that can only come from a duel between top players.
He immediately followed the sound and quickly found Boss Kiryu who had fallen to the ground, and Hannya who was about to kill with his sword.
There is no need to elaborate on what happens next.
Prajna not far away looked straight at Qingdeng, narrowed his eyes, and sneered:
"Ha! Who am I talking about? It turns out to be my junior brother."
"This is our second meeting."
"Due to the special circumstances when we met last time, I couldn't have a good chat with you. It's a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingdeng on the back immediately said:
"'Chat'? What do I have to talk to you about?"
"Although I'm not familiar with you, I already hate you quite a lot."
Qingden lowered his eyelids, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi... No, Hannya, you are really crazy."
"What did you want to do just now? Actually planned to kill your own master?"
Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of uncontrollable anger in his words.
Boss Kiryu is both a mentor and an irreplaceable elder to Aoto.
This guy actually raised his knife to slash at Boss Kiryu who was unable to fight back... The anger in Qingto's heart was like a volcano waiting to erupt.
Upon hearing this, Prajna shrugged vigorously, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Humph, you, a junior, have taught me a lesson."
"I admit, I was a little impulsive just now."
"However, this is all the master's fault!"
"Who asked the master to talk nonsense! Nonsense!"
"It's clear that you can't even force me out with all my strength, but you still say that 'your strength is standing still'... It's really annoying!"
"But, master, don't worry, I won't let master die."
"Until the master recognizes my strength and admits that I am the best heir to his mantle, I will keep him alive!"
Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Vairocana in Qingden's palm, with a faint look of intoxication appearing on his cheeks.
"Vairochana...this sword is as beautiful as ever!"
"Junior brother... no, Ju Qingden, you just said that you already hate me quite a lot... By coincidence, I have the same idea."
"Why are you holding this knife?"
"You have no right to own this knife!"
A sharp, assassinating gaze was directed towards Qingden.
Qingdeng stared back fearlessly and sneered:
"'Why'? Of course it's because I'm better than you!"
"Because I am stronger than you, Vairocana is in my hand - such a simple and obvious truth, do you still need me to explain it to you?"
In an instant, Prajna's facial expression was dominated by strong indignation, and his expression was terrifying.
"Haha... that's what the master just said..."
I saw him laughing in anger, and veins like flesh worms burst out from his temples, neck and other parts of his body, bulging one by one.
In addition, spiderweb-like red blood threads covered his eyes.
"Are you better than me? Ha, you really dare to say that!"
"Okay, then I really want to see it!"
"Although your sudden appearance was completely unexpected, you came just in time!"
Having said this, Hannya squinted his eyes and looked at Boss Kiryu behind Qingden.
"Master, watch carefully!"
"See clearly how I defeated Tachibana Aoden!"
"The 'legitimate successor of our school' in your words has actually become my defeated general... Then, I'd like to see what else you have to say!"
After that, he shook the knife suddenly, shook off some broken leaves remaining on the knife, and then pointed at Qingden with the tip of the knife.
Seeing this, Qingden raised the blade of the sword in response, and pointed the tip of the sword at an angle to Prajna without any sign of weakness.
"Ju Qingden, looking at you like this, you seem to have experienced a lot of bloody battles just now. Do you still have the strength to fight?"
Qingdeng said calmly:
"You don't have to worry about it."
"On the other hand, you, after a fight with Boss Kiryu, can you still hold the sword steadily?"
"I don't want you to refuse to admit defeat on the grounds that 'I just spent too much energy' after beating you down."
Prajna showed an expression of naked provocation.
"You are worrying too much! The master is already a decrepit old man with weak legs and feet, and his desperate fighting did not even consume half of my energy!"
"In that case...come on horseback!"
Qingdeng raised his chin as he spoke, signaling "I will stay with you until the end", and his aura was rising steadily.
Almost at the same time, Prajna on the opposite side also surged in momentum!
"This battle... I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Ever since I learned that Master passed on Vairocana to you, I have been looking forward to today."
"Looking forward to defeating you and proving to Master that I am the true master of Vairocana!"
"Ju Qingden, get ready to take the attack! I'm going to... tear you apart from the front!"
After saying that, he suddenly raised his left hand and grabbed the fabric at his right shoulder——
Hiss!
He ripped off the clothes on his upper body, revealing the ferocious tattoo on his back.
His face is pale, he has several fangs in his mouth, and he has a pair of horns on his head. He stares at others with a ferocious smile - it is the evil ghost Prajna formed by strong jealousy and resentment!
"Feiyan Canxinliu"
"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi!"
Niou held his sword in front of him, and the awe-inspiring righteousness he spurted out dispersed the evil mist emitted by the evil spirit.
"Naturally Rishin flow"
"Tachibana Aoden!"
The next moment, two extremely powerful "potentials" collided heavily in mid-air, and the terrifying aura caused by this caused the wind and cloud to change color!
A moment later, two fast-moving figures shoveled away the soil and disturbed the fallen leaves on the ground.
Prajna's feet touched the ground, as if gliding, and the knife in Cai Qingyan's stance was slashed diagonally downwards. The speed of the knife was so fast that it was frightening. The characteristics of the "executioner's knife technique" were fully demonstrated in this blow.
Qingdeng didn't take a step back. The sword was lowered and the force was heavy on his waist.
The tip of the knife was seen to be stationary for a moment, and then it was swung upwards like a cirrus cloud, directly deflecting Prajna's knife. The remaining force even caused Prajna's body to lose balance uncontrollably.
Qingden accurately grasped this fleeting flaw, jumped up, raised Vairocana to his chest, rushed towards Prajna, and plunged into his arms.
Logically speaking, Prajna whose body is out of balance is doomed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Prajna actually showed extraordinary balance ability. He quickly stepped on his feet before the purple sword light arrived, and raised his sword to block it.
clang!!
The deafening sound and numbing reaction force were transmitted to both sides at the same time.
Although Qingdeng did not use all his strength with this sword, he still used 7% of his strength.
But even if it is like this, it is enough to make it difficult for 99% of the people in this world to compete.
It had been a long time since Qingdeng had encountered an opponent like this who could withstand his blows.
In this round, both sides attacked and defended. No one was injured and no one took advantage. It was considered a draw.
In the next round, a more intense confrontation will begin!
Prajna did not flick away Qingden's sword, but flipped his wrists flexibly, adjusting the direction of the blade, so that the blade of Nagasone Kotetsu was close to Vairocana's blade, and swept towards Qingden's face as if sliding down.
The rapid friction between the two knives scraped out countless fairy-like sparks.
Before the sparks dissipated, the knife was already in front of Qingdeng.
At the same time when the sparks had not yet dissipated, Qingdeng leaned back as if his body was broken - his talents "Water Body +4" and "Snake Body +4" were activated - he turned a somersault easily, without missing a beat.
Hide out of Prajna's slashing range.
[Note·Water body +4: The coordination of the limbs is better than that of ordinary people. Snake body +4: The flexibility of the body is better than that of ordinary people.]
This time, Prajna released an overwhelming offensive.
Before Qingdeng could fight back, he took long strides like a whirlwind, pressed forward like a giant, and fought Qingdeng again.
A flash!
Flash again!
Three flashes!
From the perspective of a bystander, Nagasone Kotetsu's blade flashed three times in mid-air. Because the blade was so fast, at first glance, it seemed that the three swords were swung at the same time.
As soon as these three flashes of light approached Qingdeng, they shattered and disappeared - because there were three equally indistinguishable purple flashes of light that blocked them one by one!
You come and I go, the sword shines brightly.
The arena where the two fought was constantly changing, sometimes shuttled through the dense forest, sometimes wrestling in the open space, sometimes flying to a thick branch.
As the battleground between them continues to expand, the traces of destruction are also spreading rapidly.
Crushed fallen leaves.
Broken tree trunk.
The cracked earth.
Powerful power is surging, and everything the blade touches is ravaged!
Different from the duel between Hannya and Kiryu's boss just now, this is a truly evenly matched fight!
No one has the upper hand, and no one has the upper hand.
Whenever it is attacked, it will immediately counterattack.
In order to cope with the opponent's onslaught, both sides had to open their eyes wide, not even daring to blink. They stared at every move of the opponent. A moment of relaxation would kill them directly, and they would never be injured - such a terrifying chop.
If you take a hit, you will definitely die!
Although their duel was extremely fierce and the offensive and defensive rhythm was incredibly fast, the transition between victory and defeat was equally rapid.
From a certain perspective, Qingteng can be regarded as a "slow-warming" swordsman.
As the fighting time continued to lengthen, he felt that the blood in his body became hotter and hotter, his hands and feet became lighter and more agile, and his spirit was highly concentrated.
The talents "Gathering God" and "Born for Fighting +9" are activated!
[Note: Born to fight +9: The more tense and intense the battle situation, the better the physical and mental state will be. 】
Between the lightning and flint, Qingdeng's will was transmitted to the tip of the knife, and he swung the knife forward like an arm.
Tsk - there was a slight sound of flesh splitting open, the knife was too swift, and Prajna had no time to completely avoid it, and a small blood mark was cut on his shoulder.
Qingden's offensive didn't stop, he chased Prajna like a flying swallow, and slashed at the opponent's chest with his sword again.
His body was not stable and he had no time to dodge. Prajna could only raise his sword and fight hand-to-hand.
Qingden's blow was so unstoppable that Prajna immediately took two steps back after receiving it forcefully to stabilize his body.
In order to get rid of the current passive situation, Prajna took a deep breath, accumulated strength every second, and flew forward to slash Qingden's waist and abdomen, trying to interrupt his attack rhythm.
It was too late, but it was too late. Qingdeng stabbed twice in a row.
With the first stab, he deflected Prajna's attack, then his hand turned into an afterimage, and he pulled the knife back to his hand with dizzying speed, and then struck out with the second stab.
That bit of cold light instantly magnified in Prajna's eyes... Although he ducked again, Vairocana's blade brushed his earlobe, and the straight scar opened like a shell.
There is no doubt that Qingden has gradually gained the upper hand and Prajna has shown defeat.
What Qingden lacks most is physical strength. Even in a war of attrition, he has full confidence in dragging Prajna to death.
Under the circumstances of this ebb and flow, Prajna will only become more and more passive, tired of running for his life, and ultimately end up defeated.
But even so... there was no trace of panic on Prajna's face.
I saw him calmly and calmly responding to the challenge and showing off his tactics at the first glance.
Even if he was accidentally injured, he would not react at all, not even moving his brows.
At this moment, Prajna's eyes underwent subtle changes - a strange light flickered out of them.
…
…
7 years ago——
Somewhere in Kanto——
"Finally I found you, you are Yamada Asaemon Katsumi, right?"
The sudden voice made Katsuki tense up all the nerves in his body. He subconsciously lowered his waist, holding a saber in his hand, and turned to face the speaker - a young man with a handsome face walking unhurriedly from the mountain forest.
Stepping out of the shadows.
"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi, first meeting!"
The young man showed a sunny smile and greeted Katsuki warmly.
Self-denying and unmoved, he asked as if facing a formidable enemy:
"Who are you?"
The young man stood ten meters away in front of Keji, with a wider smile on his face.
"I am the drunken boy who punished the Party!"
"Shuten Doji?!"
Keji's eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh? You know next?"
"I have admired your name for a long time!"
Katsumi said with an excited smile.
"I heard that you are one of the strongest swordsmen in the Fa Zhu Party!"
"The strongest swordsman? Hahaha, if there is a suffix of 'one', then it is indeed true..."
Before Shuten Doji could finish his words, Katsumi interrupted him rudely:
"I don't know why you are here, but since you are here, let me see for myself how powerful the top masters of the Fa Zun Party are!"
Suddenly, a "bang" sound was heard - Katsumi disappeared from the spot.
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew towards Shuten Doji, and Kenji's figure was hidden in the wind.
At the same time as he stood up and pounced on Shuten-dōji, he drew his sword in his hand, adopted the Blue Eyes stance, aimed at Shuten-dōji's Tianling Gai, and slashed it down.
It came with great force...but before he could get close to his opponent, he fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut off.
“Ho…! Ho…! Ho…! Ho…!”
Keji clutched his waist and abdomen, cold sweat broke out on his face, and his facial lines were distorted by pain.
"What's this……?"
As he murmured, he turned to look at Shuten Doji beside him.
"Oh, you are really impatient. Even if you want to discuss things with me, you should at least wait until I finish my words!"
Shuten Doji said as he shook the sword in his hand - to be more precise, it was the sword that had not yet been unsheathed.
Looking closely, I saw Shuten Doji's eyes emitting a strange light, making him look particularly charming.
Katsuki's pupils shrank suddenly.
"'Selfless Realm'...! Why...you are so young...but you can master the 'Selfless Realm'?!"
The drunkard boy tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled.
"'Mastery'? I don't understand what you are talking about. I just naturally possess the 'selfless state', just like a person is born with two arms and two legs."
