Chapter 638 I'm up, I'll kill you in seconds! (Part 2) [Explosion 1W2] [Thanks to the leader L5??]
Thank you to the alliance leader [L5??]! This chapter is an explosive update to thank the alliance leader!
*******
*******
As soon as An Yun said these words, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"An Yunjun!" Zhizhou quickly recovered from the shock, and then shouted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you take back what you just said and step back!"
After scolding An Yun, Zhizhou immediately turned to look at Yamu, the owner of the Yuanming Pavilion.
"Yagi! Ask your disciple to take back his rude remarks! Then ask him to stand down! Don't interfere with the progress of the 'Grand Trial'!"
Facing Naozhou's rebuke, Yagi, the owner of the Yuanming Pavilion, only glanced at Naozhou lightly, and then asked An Yun, who was still pointing the tip of his sword directly at Nanjo:
"An Yun, are you serious about what you just said? Do you really want to challenge Nanjo?"
"Of course I'm serious." An Yun shrugged, "I've long wanted to see if the owner of 'Osaka's No. 1 Sword Gym'... is running the sword gym based on his true skills, or just relying on his reputation.
Come and run the sword hall."
After saying that, An Yun showed an undisguised sarcastic smile towards Nanjo.
"That's right..." Yagi nodded lightly.
Then he turned towards Nanjo and showed a weird smile that would make anyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
"In that case, Nanjo, you can come on and spar with my apprentice."
"Use your sword to teach my apprentice well: you have real ability, not just an empty name."
"Yagi?!" Naoshu exclaimed, with the word "unbelievable" written on his face, and looked at Yagi blankly, "What... is wrong with you?"
Nanjo from the All-Kan Military Academy, and Kiichi Shimura, the owner of the Shimurakan who had been silent since the beginning of the "Grand Trial Alliance", both now showed the exact same expression as Naoshu.
As for Ogata, as an outsider who was invited to watch the trial match, he looked at An Yun on the field with a blank expression, and then looked at Naoshu and others.
He had previously thought that this "big test match" was just an ordinary test match that would only make him sleepy after watching it.
However, judging from the current situation... the direction of this "grand trial union" has become increasingly beyond Ogata's expectations.
Ogata's current state of mind... To describe it with a vivid example, he originally came to watch the "Sushi Big Eater Contest", but when he arrived at the scene, he found that everyone was competing to see who could eat more cockroaches.
"Yagi! What crazy talk are you talking about?!" Naozu roared at Yagi at this time.
"I'm not saying anything crazy." Yagi said calmly, "Every word I just said was said in an extremely calm and sober state."
"Since An Yun wants to personally test whether Nanjo is really good, let him try it."
"Young people should be so energetic and dare to challenge the strong."
"The reason why martial arts is deteriorating now is because there are fewer and fewer worthy warriors."
"For An Yunjun's extremely bloody behavior, we should encourage them more."
"and"
At this time, Yagi once again showed Nanjo a smile that made people feel uncomfortable, and then continued in a sinister tone:
"Nanjo shouldn't lose to such a junior, right?"
"Let Nanjo take the opportunity to show his strength, give my apprentice a good beating, and let my apprentice know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. This will also be conducive to my apprentice's future development."
Every time Yagi said something, Naoshu's eyes widened a little.
He just feels that the Yagi in front of him is so strange...
No matter how he looked at or thought about it, he felt that Yagi today was extremely strange.
Although he was not familiar with Yagi before, he knew to some extent that he was taciturn and did not like to socialize.
Normally, he seldom speaks, whether in public or in private.
No matter what, it was difficult for Naozhou to equate the Yagi in front of him who kept talking like crazy with the quiet Yagi of the past.
"Yagi..." Naoshu opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something more, a deep male voice interrupted him:
"...Okay, Isshiki, you don't need to say more."
As the deep male voice fell, a figure slowly stood up and it was Nanjo.
Nanjo's face now looked so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
After slowly standing up, he stepped forward and walked onto the dojo: "Since you want to test my strength, then I will do as you wish."
Originally, the three contestants sent by his sword gym to participate in this year's "Grand Trial" had all been eliminated, and Nanjo was already in a very bad mood because of this.
Nanjo also disliked An Yun, who eliminated two of the three players in his sword hall, including his protégé Kitahara.
And this little guy, whom he already disliked, now threatened to challenge him and said a lot of rude words to him.
His master Yagi didn't mean to break up the fight at all, but was still fanning the flames. Every word Yagi said to him just now was full of strange ridicule.
A junior like An Yun challenged him in full view of the public, and his master was there to fan the flames. Under such circumstances, it would be a real loss of face for him to not play again.
For samurai, things like face and honor are always more important than life.
What's more, Nanjo's anger... was already so full that it was about to burst out from every pore on his body.
In order to defend his honor and to vent his inner anger, Nanjo set foot on the dojo.
"Nanjo! Don't be so impulsive!" Naoshu, who did not want to see the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction, advised Nanjo earnestly.
And all the apprentices in the military hall were also there to persuade their masters.
Nanjo turned a deaf ear to these advices.
…
…
"Well……"
Beiyuan woke up quietly.
"here it is……?"
As soon as Beiyuan woke up, he heard the joyful shouts of his junior brothers coming from his left and right sides.
"Ah! Senior brother!"
"Brother Beihara! You're awake!"
After Beiyuan was knocked unconscious, his brothers were carried off the field.
As the master of the military hall, Nanjo was used to seeing various injuries of his disciples, and he also had considerable research on how to treat various bruises and injuries.
After Kitahara was carried down, Nanjo immediately carefully inspected his injuries. Except for some swelling at the place where he was cut, there were no other serious problems. It would probably not take long for him to wake up on his own.
After confirming that Kitahara was okay, Nanjo sent several disciples to carry Kitahara to the corner of the dojo, and asked these disciples to take care of Kitahara until Kitahara woke up.
Beiyuan covered his head and stood up slowly.
The memories before he fainted flooded out of Beiyuan's mind like a tide.
In the grand trial, Yisekhua and An Yun were instantly killed...
After recalling it, Beiyuan's eyes suddenly opened wide due to these unforgettable memory fragments, and he subconsciously looked towards the dojo.
"What...is going on?" Beiyuan murmured.
In the center of the dojo, stood An Yun, who had killed him instantly, and his master Nanjo.
…
…
"Boy, come here." Nanjo held the wooden sword tightly and took a stance.
An Yun was so rude to him, so he naturally had no reason to be polite to him anymore and called him "boy".
Kara, Kara.
An Yun moved her neck vigorously twice, and after making two loud "clicks", she set up the knife and said, "Please enlighten me."
A good "big test match" has turned into this situation, and everyone in the venue has complicated expressions.
"Drink!"
The first person to launch the attack was Nanjo.
Nanjo made a sound from his Dantian, and a Qihe sound that was loud enough to shock even the faint of heart came out of his throat.
He stepped forward and slashed at An Yun twice with his sword, all in one movement.
An Yun took a deep breath, took two steps back, avoided Nanjo's first sword, and then used a non-external move to deflect Nanjo's second sword.
Katori Shinto-ryu is one of the schools that Ogata is most familiar with.
Thinking back to two years ago, when he first traveled to the Edo period, not counting the Sakakihara Itto-ryu, the first swordsmanship he came into contact with was the Katori Shinto-ryu taught by the Ishikawa Kenkan at that time.
Every move Nanjo makes and every Katori Shinto-style swordsmanship he uses can be said to be extremely proficient.
Facing Nanjo's fierce attacks, An Yun could no longer transform into the "One-Knife Superman" like she had in the previous competitions.
At this time, he looked serious and was concentrating on exchanging offense and defense with Nanjo.
Ogata, who was silently watching the fierce trial in front of him, suddenly heard Isshikika beside him asking:
"Sir, who do you think will win?"
When she turned her head to ask Ogata this question, Isshikika's eyes never moved away from An Yun and Nanjo. Her appearance was a little cute.
"...In terms of strength, the two of them are probably between equals." Ogata was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "But in terms of chances of winning, An Yun should have a greater chance of winning."
"Compared with Nanjo, An Yun has two major advantages."
"First: An Yun is much younger than the chief gymnast of the Military Hall, and judging from his body shape, he is also the kind of person who has no shortage of physical strength and strength."
"As for Nanjo... Look, Nanjo's breathing is not as steady as before. But it's no wonder, after all, he is not young anymore."
"Nanjo's physical fitness is far inferior to An Yun, so once he is unable to quickly capture An Yun, the situation will inevitably become increasingly unfavorable for Nanjo, who does not have the advantage in physical strength."
"Second: Nanjo's current mentality is unstable."
"He is probably eager to save face and vent his anger. His mood is obviously unstable now."
"When the strength of both parties is only about equal, the person who reveals his flaws first is often the one who cannot stay calm and maintain a calm mind."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, the battle on the field suddenly changed.
"Drink!"
Nanjo launched a sharp stab at An Yun's chest.
But I don't know if he was distracted for a moment or because he was too eager to win quickly, so he used a little more force. As a result, the force of the thrust was too strong, and flaws appeared.
An Yun's eyes shone brightly, and she quickly tried to dodge to avoid Nanjo's stabbing attack.
Then, he stepped forward, his body turned into an afterimage, and ran towards Nanjo's left rear.
When dodging and rushing to the left rear of Nanjo, An Yun only used her right hand to hold the knife, and her right hand grasped the top of the handle. This is an inconspicuous little detail, but this small detail is very useful. It can increase An Yun's slashing speed.
Become faster.
The moment she passed by Nanjo, An Yun slashed hard at Nanjo's left abdomen with her sword.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
A cry of pain erupted from Nanjo's throat.
With all the facial features on his face distorted, he still held the knife in one hand and covered the spot where he had been stabbed with the other hand. After staggering forward for a few steps, he knelt down on one knee.
"master!"
"Master! Are you okay?"
All the apprentices in the military hall screamed in surprise one by one, and rushed forward to help Nanjo who was kneeling on the ground.
"Fortunately, it's not a real sword duel." An Yun, who knocked down Nanjo with one blow, was holding the wooden sword on his shoulder and said in a mocking tone to Nanjo, who was sweating in pain, "If it were a real sword duel,
, you have been cut in half, your intestines and kidneys will flow all over the floor."
An Yun's strange words were like a spark that ignited the powder keg called "anger" in the hearts of all the disciples in the military hall.
"You bastard!"
"That's enough! You've been rude over and over again!"
"Everyone, come on! Teach this rude bastard a lesson!"
Directly pointing the tip of the wooden sword at Nanjo and calling him on the stage to challenge him was already considered a rude provocation. Even before An Yun threatened to compete with their master, all the disciples in the military academy were already very unhappy.
And now, this bastard not only defeated their master and made their whole army lose face, but he also continued to speak rudely and treat their master in a weird way.
All the disciples in the military academy wanted to tear An Yun alive right away.
More than a dozen disciples from the Military Academy surrounded An Yun.
When An Yun faced the crowd surrounding him, he only showed a nonchalant expression, as if he was surrounded not by a dozen people, but by a dozen flies.
However, just when all the apprentices in the military hall surrounded An Yun and were about to swarm forward to capture An Yun, they heard Nanjo, who was still kneeling on the ground, yell:
"Everyone, stop it! Everyone, step back!"
"Master?" The disciples looked at Nanjo in confusion.
"If you really want to swarm me like this to help me avenge and vent my anger, then the face of our entire army will really be lost."
Nanjo, who was still covering his injury, pushed away the hands of the disciples beside him who were trying to help him, and slowly stood up with his own strength.
"If you lose, you lose. I am speechless. I have no objections or excuses."
"Everyone, step back."
After saying that, Nanjo took the lead and walked towards their seats in the military hall.
Although Nanjo stopped his disciples from avenging him, when he walked back to his seat, Nanjo still turned his head and glared at An Yun with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness to wait.
After hearing their master's order just now, Nanjo's disciples looked at each other with complicated expressions, and finally chose to obey their master's instructions and slowly walked off the field.
When they went back to their respective seats, they all stared at An Yun with ferocious eyes like Nanjo.
The glances they cast towards An Yun had no impact on An Yun at all. An Yun was humming a tune now, and her mood was visibly happy.
"Ah...this 'big test match' can finally become more interesting...after all, it is interesting to compete with these skilled people."
Stretching seems to be An Yun's habitual action.
I saw him stretching again.
Then he pointed the tip of the wooden sword at Kiichi Shimura, the master of the Shimurakan Hall, who was sitting on the west side of the dojo.
"I feel like I haven't fought enough. Master Shimura! Can you please come forward and challenge me?"
"An Yunjun!" Zhizhou, who was no longer willing to let this year's "big test match" go into chaos anymore, shouted at the top of his voice, "What are you doing? What do you want to do?! You
Do you want to compete with all the museum owners?"
Zhizhou struggled to save the order of the "Great Trial Union".
However, some people had no intention of cooperating with Zhizhou.
For example, An Yun turned a deaf ear to Zhizhou's words, and Yamu, the owner of the Yuanming Pavilion, had been deliberately pampering An Yun.
Another example... Shicun is now being challenged by An Yun...
Shicun, who was named and challenged by An Yun, did not show any displeasure or any other negative emotions.
Instead, he grinned and showed a hearty smile.
"What a hot-blooded person!"
"You just challenged Nanjo, are you challenging me again now?"
Shimura stood up suddenly.
"Okay! Just what I want!"
"Just now I saw you defeat Nanjo, and my hands just felt itchy!"
After saying that, without giving anyone a chance to react, Shimura took a wooden sword from the knife stand next to him and strode onto the dojo.
"This man is Yiichi Shimura, the master of the Shimura Sword Hall, which teaches Shinto style."
Isshikika introduced Ogata very conspicuously.
"As you can see, he is a very bold and bold man."
When helping Ogata introduce Shimura, Isshikika's face showed a trace of explicit disgust.
Ogata noticed the look of disgust on Isshikihana's face and asked:
"What's wrong? Why do you look disgusted? Do you have any grudge against this person?"
"I don't have any grudges... I just simply don't like this person." Isshikihua said, "I don't like this kind of overly bold person."
"But what disgusts me most about him is his words and deeds."
"Shimura and my father are good friends. He often comes to our house to drink with my father."
"This person's level of history is obviously not very good, but he always loves to talk about history with others. The history he loves to talk about most is the rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu more than 200 years ago."
"He admired Tokugawa Ieyasu very much and would tell others how great Tokugawa Ieyasu was every chance he got."
"That's all. But I don't know if he is biased against Toyotomi Hideyoshi or for some other reason. Every time he praises Tokugawa Ieyasu, he always disparages Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"How can I say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a commoner, became a commoner in the world just because of his bad luck?"
"How can a person with such a lowly background be qualified to rule the world? Tokugawa Ieyasu took over the Toyotomi clan in compliance with the destiny of heaven. The Tokugawa army that defeated the Toyotomi clan was an army of justice."
"I'm not an admirer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but I still don't like Shimura's remarks."
"No matter what, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is an overlord who achieved great achievements two hundred years ago. It would be too much to demote him to nothing."
"If Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who became a leader in Japan as a commoner, is worthless, then what is the point of being just a master who teaches swordsmanship?"
"In my opinion, vilifying these historical figures with such an arrogant attitude is an act of self-righteousness."
"I don't like such self-righteous people."
While Ogata and Isshiki Ka were talking, Shimura had already stood in front of An Yun, gripped the knife tightly, and took a stance.
"Are you ready?" Shimura asked loudly.
"Come here quickly." An Yun licked the corner of her mouth.
"Then I'll do it!"
Shimura's words echoed with his footsteps moving forward.
Bang!
The wooden swords of Shicun and An Yun collided heavily in mid-air.
Faced with a situation that was completely out of control, Zhizhou now looked like "I give up."
Shimura is not a tall man, but he is very tall. His height is about 1.76 meters in modern units.
And his swordsmanship style fits well with his tall stature and his sword style is extremely fierce.
Continuous slashes hit An Yun one after another.
Shimura's attacks were far more powerful than Nanjo's, and An Yun did not dare to take the attacks casually, and frequently relied on footwork to avoid Shimura's attacks.
Although at first glance, Shimura seemed to be stronger than Nanjo, the attacks were not only fierce, but also continuous, so much so that An Yun only dared to dodge and not dare to take a direct hit.
But Ogata relied on his own experience to see that Shimura's strength was not as good as Nanjo's.
His footsteps alone are not as good as Nanjo's.
Nanjo's footwall can be described in one word as stable. Whether he is stepping forward or retreating, it is both fast and stable. The footwall never showed any flaws from beginning to end.
Shimura's foothold, however, is not as stable as Nanjo's.
Ogata was thinking that Shimura's lower body was unstable, and if he used Shimura's lower body as the main direction of attack, the attack would be more effective, when he saw An Yun change into the lower stance with lightning speed, and then slashed at Shimura's lower body with a sword.
Right calf.
Although Shimura did not scream, the facial features on his face were distorted by pain.
The severe pain in Shimura's right calf made Shimura's lower body, which was already a weak point, immediately become like a crumbling high-rise building, and his body's center of gravity also became unstable.
When fighting with others, if the center of gravity of the body is unstable, defeat is not far away.
As expected, after successfully destroying Shimura's body center of gravity with one blow, Shimura slashed from bottom to top with a vertical slash.
The tip of the knife cut from Shimura's right abdomen to his left shoulder. Shimura, who was struck by the sword in his chest, staggered back a few steps and then fell to the ground with his head thrown back heavily.
An Yun wins again.
"master!"
"Master! Are you okay?"
A scene similar to what happened when Nanjo was defeated just now appeared:
All the apprentices at Shimurakan came forward one after another, intending to go forward to check Shimura's injuries and help Shimura get up.
However, as soon as they got up, they heard Shimura shouting in a hearty voice:
"I'm fine!"
Shimura stood up holding his chest, and then laughed:
"How amazing! You can defeat me so quickly!"
"I didn't expect that Yuanming Pavilion would hide such a powerful master!"
"With such strength at such a young age, the future is really limitless!"
"I'm resigned to defeating you!"
After speaking, Shimura clutched his chest and limped back to his seat.
Shimura was different from Nanjo who had been glaring at An Yun fiercely when he returned to his seat. When he returned to his seat, he only had a magnanimous expression on his face, as if he was not the one who had been defeated just now.
An Yun lost two people in a row, and these two people were also the owners of the Quanbing Pavilion and Shimura Pavilion.
The expressions of everyone in the venue at this moment are extremely exciting.
When Shimura was defeated just now, some of the apprentices in the military hall had expressions of joy on their faces, as they were glad that Shimura was also defeated.
Otherwise, if only their master fails, they will lose face.
However, although some people in the military hall looked happy, most of the people in the venue had a serious look on their faces.
If word spread that their master was defeated by an apprentice in Yuanming Hall who was only about 20 years old, they would become the object of ridicule.
Being ridiculed will have a negative impact on the reputation of the sword hall... When thinking of this, the disciples of the All Arms Hall and Shimura Hall couldn't help but feel heavy and look ugly.
Of course, some people showed... envious expressions.
They looked at An Yun, who had defeated two curators in a row, and couldn't help but feel a bit of envy in their eyes.
Although An Yun made both the Military Hall and Shimura Hall extremely embarrassed, and his various actions were extremely rude, we have to admit that An Yun, who challenged two hall owners by name one after another and defeated them all, was really majestic.
Many people are secretly thinking: If only I could be so majestic...
If anyone in the room had the most wonderful expression, it was undoubtedly Kitahara who had just woken up.
Beiyuan looked confused at this time, as if he had lost his soul.
For half an hour, he was extremely confident, thinking that he was invincible among his peers in Osaka, and confidently set himself the goal of performing well in front of Isshikika.
As a result, he was instantly killed and knocked unconscious as soon as he came on stage.
And the blow is not over yet.
As soon as he woke up, he saw this person who killed him instantly with one blow, defeating a master who was still only his equal to him...
This wasn't over yet. After defeating his master, this man immediately defeated the owner of Shimurakan...
It turns out... are there any peers in Osaka who are so much better than me...
Beiyuan now... just feels like his mind is blank.
In his heart, something called "self-confidence" and "worldview" were slowly shattering and collapsing...
An Yun, who was the culprit of this series of events, was leisurely strolling around, stretching out of habit.
"Ah... it's so refreshing... I've been living in peace for too long recently, and my bones have indeed become a little stiff."
"Since I have challenged the owners of the All Military Hall and Shimura Hall."
"So……"
An Yun slowly turned her gaze... towards the direction of everyone in the Yiseki Sword Hall.
After seeing An Yun turn her attention to them, the expressions of everyone in the Yiseki Sword Hall changed.
The four major sword halls, including the Jungkook Hall, the Shimura Hall, the Yuanming Hall, and the Isshiki Hall, jointly organized the "Grand Trial Combination".
Excluding the Yuanming Pavilion where An Yun was located, the owners of the Quanbing Pavilion and Shicun Pavilion were all defeated by An Yun.
Everyone naturally thought that An Yun was going to challenge Isekkan, who had not yet challenged him.
Everyone in the Yishi Sword Hall felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, what An Yun said next surprised everyone and exceeded everyone's expectations.
An Yun first looked at Zhi Zhou with meaningful eyes.
Then he turned his attention to Isshiki Hana beside Ogata.
"Miss Isshikika! I have admired your reputation as a 'female swordsman' for a long time. I wonder if I can take advantage of this rare opportunity to ask you for some advice?"
An Yun did not challenge Isshiki Naoshu, but challenged her granddaughter.
As soon as An Yun finished speaking, Zhi Zhou immediately stood up as if he couldn't bear it anymore and glared at An Yun.
"That's enough! An Yun Yousuke!" Naozhou, who was all hairy, called An Yun by name, "I can't bear your behavior of interfering with the normal progress of the 'Grand Trial Combination'!"
"Get out of here! Don't disturb the progress of the 'Grand Trial Match' again!"
"Otherwise, all of us at Isshikikan will help you leave from here!"
As soon as Zhizhou's words came out, all the apprentices in the Yishi Hall immediately understood each other very well and stood up in a cooperative manner, glaring at An Yun who had messed up the "big test match" scene.
What was surprising was that Yagi, the leader of the Genmeikan Hall who had been indulging An Yun to challenge Nanjo and Shimura, now saw that An Yun actually wanted to challenge Isshikika, and his expression changed slightly.
"Hey, An Yun." Yagi frowned slightly and said sternly, "It's enough to challenge Nanjo and Shimura. What's going on with even the female streamers?"
"There is no special reason." An Yun held the wooden knife and said in a flirtatious tone, "I just want to open my eyes and see the people who should be mending clothes, doing housework, and helping us have children and continue our future generations.
It’s just a matter of how good a female class can be after holding a sword."
With each word of An Yun's words, anger and annoyance appeared on Isekihua's cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The person whose expression also changed was Ogata.
As soon as An Yun finished speaking, Ogata raised his eyebrows, and then looked at An Yun, who was now looking arrogant, quietly with eyes that made it difficult to understand what he was thinking.
"I don't want to listen to your crazy words anymore." Zhizhou's expression now became extremely scary because of his anger towards An Yun.
But just when Naoshu was about to command the apprentices of his Isshiki Sword Hall to come forward together and drive them out of the dojo, Isshikika kept her hands folded in front of her and stood up slowly.
"……OK."
Isshikihua said expressionlessly.
"Then I will do as you wish and let you see what the sword of a woman like me looks like."
"Xiaohua?" Zhizhou looked at Isshikihua with surprise at first, and then the surprise turned into anger, "Xiaohua, you..."
Zhizhou didn't say anything yet, so Isshikihua said in a determined tone:
"I am also a daughter of the Wu family."
"If it's just a general provocation, that's it. But regarding what this person said just now, I can't treat it as nothing happened."
"If nothing happens, it will be more embarrassing than losing."
"Please let me play."
Isshiki looked at Naozhou with firm eyes.
Just now, Naoshu looked like he wanted to scold Isshiki.
But after hearing what Isshiki said just now and looking at Isshiki's eyes full of determination now, his expression changed.
He hesitated.
After pursing her lips and looking at An Yun who was not far away, and then looking at Isshiki in front of her, she sighed softly:
"...Don't get hurt."
Isshikika cast a grateful look at Naoshu.
Then, she let go of her folded hands in front of her body, took out a goose-yellow cuff band that was the same as the kimono she was wearing, and tied up the wide sleeves on both sides of the kimono.
As soon as she tied her sleeves, a voice that made her look stunned suddenly sounded from beside her:
"Come on."
Isshikika, whose eyes widened slightly in surprise, turned to look at Ogata, the person who just said to her, "Come on."
Ogata was looking up at her now.
Under the edge of the hat, Isshiki Hua saw two encouraging glances.
Even though it was just a simple "Come on", Isshikika miraculously felt a sense of security rising in her heart.
This sense of peace of mind brought a smile to Isshikihua's face once again.
"Hmm..." Isshikika nodded gently towards Ogata, then slowly put away her smile, and stared at Isshikika who was slowly waiting for her to get ready with a cold gaze.
Not only did Isshikika tie up her sleeves, but to facilitate movement, she also lifted up the hem of her kimono to reveal her smooth calves. Then she took off the pair of white socks on her feet, revealing a pair of white feet.
Isshikika is the kind of person who is more accustomed to competing with others barefoot in the dojo.
Looking at Isekihua's little feet exposed by taking off her white socks, An Yun smiled maliciously.
"What a pair of beautiful feet. Not only are they very white and small, but the toes are also very well-proportioned and there is no dead skin on them."
"Let me confirm that you didn't know in advance that I like women's feet, so you took off your socks to seduce me and distract me, right?"
An Yun's words undoubtedly made everyone in the Iseki Sword Hall and the rest of the people who admired Isekihana look angry.
A few people with a more explosive temper started yelling at An Yun.
Some of the more explosive people stood up suddenly without saying a word, showing an expression that even if they died, they would die with An Yun.
For those who wanted to come on stage and beat An Yun up, Isshikika simply said: "Thank you for your kindness, but this is a contest between An Yun Yousuke and I, please don't come forward and disturb me."
Isshikika's father is also a man with a strong personality.
Just now, when she heard An Yun say that Isshikihua was seducing him, she immediately wanted to stand up and rush over to teach this dirty-mouthed brat a lesson.
However, he was only halfway up when his shoulders were held down by Zhi Zhou.
"This is a contest between Xiaohua and others." Zhizhou said, "For you to rush forward like this is rude and disrespectful to this contest."
Stopped by his father, Ru Shui could only sit back down in frustration.
As for those people who originally wanted to step forward to help Isseyka teach An Yun a lesson, after hearing Isseyka's words of "please don't disturb me", they all sat back in their seats with angry expressions.
Faced with An Yun's frivolous words just now, Isekhwa didn't react much. She stood in front of An Yun with a wooden knife and continued coldly, "You don't have to tell me that you are a pervert with very different hobbies."
"I don't agree with saying that my hobbies are perverted." An Yun shrugged, "Didn't anyone tell you? In fact, most men are more or less interested in women's feet. It's just that
Most people are not as magnanimous as me and dare not say out loud what they really like."
"Shut your mouth now, I don't want to hear you say these stupid things anymore." Isshiki took the knife.
An Yun shrugged again with a wicked smile, then put down the wooden knife on her shoulder and took a stance.
call!
An Yun had just set up his stance when he saw a wooden knife striking him head-on with a fierce stance.
"?!" An Yun's pupils shrank slightly. The speed of Shisehua's sword was much faster than he expected, which surprised him slightly.
Of course, it was just "slightly surprised".
He calmly took half a step back, no more and no less, just to the position where Isshikihana's wooden sword could not hit him.
Ogata watched the competition between Isshikika and An Yun on the court with a calm face. Before the competition started, Ogata knew what the result would be.
Isshikika has absolutely no chance of winning.
Ogata had some idea of Isshikika's level. After all, they had fought side by side before and fought against pirates together.
According to Ogata's estimation, compared to all the strong women he knows, Isshikika is probably only slightly stronger than Kua Sao.
Judging from the strength that An Yun showed in the two battles against Nanjo and Shimura, Isshikika is unlikely to be An Yun's opponent no matter what.
Ogata had just thought about whether to persuade Isshikika not to fight such a losing battle.
But after thinking about it carefully, she gave up the idea of persuading Isekika to ignore An Yun's provocation.
This is the outlook of people from samurai families in this era.
Except for a few with special ideas, most samurai families in this era taught their children to value honor. Losing one's life was a small matter, but losing one's reputation was a big deal.
One of the most prominent features of warrior education in this era was that it despised death and valued honor.
Death is not worth mentioning. As long as we can defend our honor, what does one life mean?
After understanding how different the views of the samurai of this era were from those of a modern man like him, Oubon decided to just let Isshikika defend his honor.
Ogata guessed that Naoshu let Isshikika play because of this consideration.
Ogata originally watched the contest between Isshikika and An Yun with a calm expression.
But the more he looked, the more solemn Ogata's expression became.
There is no other reason why An Yun has always looked like "playing" since the beginning of the competition.
Based on the difference in strength between the two, An Yun should be able to kill Isshikika instantly with one strike.
But An Yun refused to attack, only kept dodging and defending. She kept looking at the Isshiki flower in front of her as if looking at a commodity, and repeatedly looked at the Isshiki flower from head to toe.
Isekihua also saw that An Yun was not serious about competing with her at all, but her mentality was very stable and she did not become impatient because of this, and launched an attack on An Yun steadily.
An Yun looked at the flower with interest at first.
But gradually, the light of interest in his eyes gradually dissipated.
His eyesight became dull.
"……Knew it."
After dodging another slash from Isshikika, he showed an undisguised look of contempt.
"As expected, women should stay at home and do housework to help us continue our children and grandchildren."
"Women should not hold weapons. Women taking up weapons will only make the weapons they hold want to cry."
"'Female Swordsman' and all that... I've seen enough."
As if by magic, An Yun's body accelerated suddenly, pulling out an afterimage directly from her body, and rushed straight towards Isekihua.
Facing An Yun, whose speed suddenly increased a lot, Isshikihua's pupils shrank suddenly.
She subconsciously wanted to distance herself from An Yun, who was rushing towards her.
But her body's speed couldn't keep up with her reaction, so An Yun could only watch helplessly as An Yun dodged in front of her.
When she came to Yisekihua, An Yun did not draw her sword immediately.
Instead, he first raised his right leg high and stepped hard on Isshikika's left foot.
The left foot received a heavy blow, and the white instep of his left foot instantly turned red.
Crying out in pain, Isshikika's center of gravity was destroyed as her left foot was attacked.
call……
After destroying Isekihua's center of gravity, An Yun raised the wooden sword in her hand high.
Because of the force with which he raised the knife, there was a low sound of breaking wind.
Seeing An Yun's action of raising the knife, Zhizhou, Rushui, Beiyuan... many people with a little bit of vision on the field looked horrified.
They all saw that An Yun's attack was extremely powerful.
Although it would not cause death, if Isshikika had received this stabbing, she would definitely have to rest in bed for at least half a month.
Whether it was the contest with Nanjo or the contest with Shimura, An Yun never dealt such a heavy hand.
Naoshu and others hurriedly stood up, trying to rush forward and help Isshikika stop the knife.
But they...are full of ambition but not strong enough...
A sinister smile appeared on An Yun's face.
call!
An Yun slashed down the knife she held high.
Target: The left side of Isshikika's back, which was forced to bend forward slightly due to the injury to her left foot.
Oops!
Knowing that he was unable to dodge this attack, Isshikihua closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
Prepare to take An Yun's attack hard.
Bang...
Isshikika was mentally prepared for the severe pain in her back.
But after closing his eyes, there was no sharp pain in his back.
Just waiting for a low muffled sound from above his head.
"?!" After slowly opening his eyes, Isshikihua saw a man wearing a bamboo hat standing in front of him.
He stood in front of Isekihana and took the knife that An Yun had just struck with his bare hands. The low and muffled sound just now was the sound he made when he took the wooden knife with his bare hands.
"one……"
Isshikika subconsciously wanted to shout out the famous title of this man in a bamboo hat, but she reacted in time and quickly shut her mouth.
"That stab you just made... was completely beyond the scope of sparring, right?"
The man in the bamboo hat put down An Yun's wooden knife and said this in a tone that was so calm that for some reason it made people feel timid.
…
…
When he discovered that An Yun was not competing seriously with Isshikika at all, Ogata secretly raised his concerns.
In order to make it easier for him to rush forward to help Isshikika in time at any critical moment, Ogata's chest slowly rose and fell with the special rhythm of "The Breath of the Source".
His eyes flashed with the unique light after entering the "selfless realm".
Just now, Ogata relied on his physical fitness that had skyrocketed after entering the "realm of selflessness" to detect An Yun's malicious intent for the first time, and then stood in front of Isshikika in time to help Isshikika stop this attack.
If she were to take it forcefully, she would definitely be seriously injured by the attack.
After blocking An Yun's attack, Xu Feng silently exited the "selfless state" and his breathing returned to a normal rhythm.
An Yun is now looking at Ogata with surprised eyes.
"Your speed just now... was really incredible..." An Yun glanced at where Ogata was sitting just now, "Who are you?"
"It's just a passerby who happened to pass by Osaka and was invited by Mr. Isshiki to watch the 'Grand Trial Match'."
After finishing speaking, Ogata waved to Isshiki next to him.
"Miss Isshiki, can I borrow your wooden sword?"
"Huh?" Isshikika flashed her beautiful big eyes towards Ogata.
"This dear friend seems to like to compete with strong people." Ogata's tone was still calm, "Your name is An Yunosuke, right? Are you interested in competing with me?"
"Oh?" An Yun raised her eyebrows vigorously, then licked the right corner of her mouth, "You want to compete with me?"
"Okay!" An Yun nodded vigorously without thinking, "What you just said is right! I like to compete with strong people the most!"
"S-Sir..." Naoshu had a strange expression on his face at this time. He quickly stood up from his seat and walked to Ogata. Then he stood on tiptoes and asked in a low voice toward Ogata, "What are you doing?
What are you doing? Why do you suddenly want to compete with An Yun?"
"...There is no special reason." Ogata responded in a low voice, "It's just because what An Yun said just now made me unhappy."
"I know a bunch of very strong women."
"In the face of natural and man-made disasters, they did not give up on themselves. They lived tenaciously and did all the work of men and women. They are not people who will let the weapons in their hands cry."
"Miss Isshiki, please lend me your wooden sword."
Ogata repeated what he just said.
After hesitating for a moment, Isshikika handed the wooden sword in her hand to Ogata.
Nao Zhou's current expression...has undergone quite a wonderful change.
After he looked at Ogata with a strange expression, he turned to look at An Yun. When he looked at An Yun, Zhi Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing.
After looking away from An Yun, Zhi Zhou took Isshiki Ka and returned to their seats.
Ogata stood leisurely in a normal posture. After waving the wooden sword in his hand a few times in the air beside him, he turned his head towards An Yun and said lightly:
"Tighten every nerve. If you don't tighten every nerve, this battle between you and me will end soon."
"Hahaha! I'm so lucky today!" An Yun put the knife in place and then licked her lips. "Not only did I have a good fight with the so-called 'female swordsman' who had long wanted to try her skills, but I also met her again.
A master who seems to be particularly strong!"
"Let the horse go..."
call!
Bang!
A sound of breaking wind and the sound of the collision of a wooden knife with flesh sounded almost simultaneously.
A wooden knife struck An Yun hard between his right shoulder and right neck.
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
An Yun didn't even have time to scream, so she fell heavily to the ground and passed out...
"...I've already reminded you."
Ogata slowly put away the wooden sword that knocked An Yun unconscious with one blow.
"If you don't tighten every nerve, this battle between you and me will end soon."
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
