When Toyotomi Nobuhide looked at the deck where Yoshihisa was no longer around with the corner of his eye, another slash struck at Toyotomi Nobuhide's head at a tricky angle.
"You really can't relax even for a moment..." Toyotomi Nobuhide withdrew his eyes from the corner of his eyes, made a mistake in his steps, and dodged Genichi's attack this time.
"Hey, hey, uncle." Nobuhide Toyotomi sneered, "Your companions have all fallen into the water. Don't you care at all?"
"I haven't seen you show concern for your companions either." After replying in a cold tone, Genichi slashed Toyotomi Nobuhide again.
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Yi never took a direct look at the battlefield on Chuguang's side.
It's not that Yuan Yi was indifferent to Chu Guang's life and death.
It was because facing the powerful opponent in front of him, he really couldn't spare any time to pay attention to other people's battles.
"Don't look at me like this. I was very worried when I saw Jijiu fall into the water. After all, if even Jijiu is gone, I won't have much reliable combat power left under my command."
After saying that, Toyotomi Nobuhide took a deep breath and raised the Yoshimitsu bone food in his hand diagonally upward.
Just looking at Toyotomi Nobuhide's posture, Genichi immediately recognized what move he was planning to use...
Is Yagyu Shininryu decisive...
[Note: Decisiveness is also a real sword skill of Yagyu Shininryu]
The raised Yoshimitsu Koshiki slashed towards Genichi's right wrist from top to bottom.
Genichi did not take a hard hit, nor did he use footwork to dodge. Instead, he simply drew his right arm back to avoid Toyotomi Nobuhide's "cutting hand".
Yoshimitsu's bones flew through the air in vain and smashed towards the deck below.
But just as the tip of the sword was about to hit the deck, the sword suddenly stopped!
Relying on brute force and skill, the sword was about to hit the deck when it was stopped. Toyotomi Nobuhide turned the blade at lightning speed!
The blade that was originally facing the deck was adjusted to face the dark cloudy sky, and then the sword was raised!
The blade was lifted up and grazed towards Yuan Yi's chin!
Toyotomi Nobuhide's two consecutive attacks were extremely fast.
Unfortunately, as soon as Toyotomi Nobuhide took up his stance, Genichi recognized what Toyotomi Nobuhide was planning to do and had already predicted Toyotomi Nobuhide's attack.
He calmly jumped back half a step, and then let Yoshimitsu Kushi only chop into the air in vain.
This time, Yuan Yi was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack immediately.
After evading Toyotomi Nobuhide's "decided blow", Genichi took 7 steps back in one breath, greatly widening the distance between him and Toyotomi Nobuhide.
Seeing that Genichi took the initiative to retreat, Toyotomi Nobuhide did not immediately launch a pursuit, but stood still.
Because he also wanted to take this opportunity to re-draw the "battle plan".
That idiot Jijiu is of no use for the time being.
I can only defeat the "Sword Master" by myself...
Sure enough, at the critical moment... I still have to rely on myself to take action...
When Toyotomi Nobuhide was sighing secretly in his heart, Genichi suddenly said to Toyotomi Nobuhide in a calm tone:
"...Shingen-ryu, Mudai-ryu, Katori Shinto-ryu, Yagyu Shinto-ryu...you know a lot of styles. It's really rare to be able to master so many styles of swordsmanship at such a young age."
"Ha..." Toyotomi Nobuhide said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Although I have been a little slack on my swordsmanship practice in recent years due to my busy schedule, I used to be a madman who was crazy about swordsmanship."
"Learning all kinds of swordsmanship eagerly."
"Oh, only at this point, we are more like blood relatives."
"I have heard my grandfather say before: Uncle, you are also a madman who is extremely obsessed with swordsmanship and eagerly learns various schools."
Having said this, Toyotomi Nobuhide held the Yoshimitsu bone food in one hand, casually rolled the knife into a flower, and shook off the thick layer of rainwater accumulated on the blade.
"But, then again, it's really strange. I heard from grandpa that you are obviously proficient in countless schools of swordsmanship."
"But since I started fighting with you, I have rarely seen you use sword skills from various schools."
Toyotomi Nobuhide changed into a sarcastic tone.
"Is it possible that you are too old and your memory has deteriorated, causing you to forget most of the sword skills of the schools?"
After hearing Toyotomi Nobuhide's words, Genichi's face slowly showed...a smile that he had rarely seen since the war with Toyotomi Nobuhide.
This is not a smile meant to laugh at others or to laugh at oneself.
Instead, he smiled as if he had heard a funny joke.
"...It seems that your swordsmanship level still needs to be improved. The swordsmanship skills of various schools...haven't I used them long ago?"
After saying that, Genichi took a deep breath, then leaped over without a run-up, used gravity to chop the swords in his hands, and took the initiative to attack Toyotomi Nobuhide again.
What Genichi said just now... Toyotomi Nobuhide was completely puzzled by its meaning.
Facing Genichi who was attacking again, Toyotomi Nobuhide had no time to think about the meaning of what Genichi just said.
The sound of metal clashing with iron, and the sound of footsteps sliding on the deck,
Physical function... There is no doubt that Nobuhide Toyotomi, who is now in his prime and possesses the "power of immortality", has the absolute advantage.
But Genichi possesses exquisite swordsmanship that can make up for this gap to a great extent, and has so much combat experience that Toyotomi Nobuhide can immediately predict what moves he will make as soon as he takes a stance!
Strength vs. skill, one force can reduce ten skills vs. four or two can move a thousand pounds. This sentence is perfect to describe the battle between two people.
Every blow of Toyotomi Nobuhide reveals an aura of "barbarism" and "violence".
It was like a bear waving its palms, tearing everything it touched into pieces.
And Genichi, who relies on his skills and combat experience to fight Toyotomi Nobuhide... is like a dancer with a graceful posture.
Every defense, every dodge, and every counterattack by Yuan Yi carries a unique sense of beauty.
Just now, when he and Yoshihisa worked together to deal with Genichi, Toyotomi Nobuhide was still able to suppress Genichi.
But now, without Yoshihisa's help, he could only challenge Genichi in a one-on-one fight, and his face no longer looked calm.
laugh!
Toyotomi Nobhide felt a stinging pain coming from the tip of his nose. Genichi had successfully relied on his exquisite feints to mislead Toyotomi Nobhide's defense direction and was hit with a sword in the face. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and pulled his head back in time. He raised his head and only the tip of his nose was cut off.
Although it did not cause much damage to Toyotomi Nobuhide, this blow was of great significance because it was the first time that Toyotomi Nobuhide was injured since the fight between the old and the young.
The pain at the tip of the nose was only fleeting because as soon as the tip of the nose was cut, countless red strands of flesh sprouted out of the wound and the wound was "sewed up".
Looking at Toyotomi Nobhide's restored nose, Genichi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly: "The recovery speed is really fast..."
After muttering like this, Yuan Yi quickly repositioned his body, and then slashed again.
The two exchanged several attacks again, and Toyotomi Nobuhide received another injury. This time, the injured part was on the chest.
There was a big gash on his chest, but the injury was not a loss, it was an injury for an injury.
While Genichi was stabbed in the chest, Toyotomi Nobuhide immediately launched a counterattack and made a cut on Genichi's left shoulder, but the cut was not deep.
The two of them were attacking, defending, and getting injured...
Although Genichi relied on his skills and combat experience to fight Toyotomi Nobuhide to a close tie, anyone with a discerning eye could see who had the upper hand...
Every wound Genichi inflicts on Toyotomi Nobuhide can be healed quickly.
And every wound that Toyotomi Nobuhide inflicts on Genichi... will only bleed, and will only bring an increasing burden to Genichi's body...
But even so, Yuan Yi did not flinch.
With his eyes widened as bright as fire, he launched a fearless attack on Toyotomi Nobuhide without flinching, which made him feel that his life was in danger several times.
After the two exchanged several rounds of offense and defense, Genichi suddenly cut the Yang Shen in his right hand into an upper position, and slashed diagonally towards Toyotomi Nobuhide's head.
If he raised his sword to defend, he might be attacked by the flames from Genichi's left hand, so Toyotomi Nobuhide chose to retreat and dodge.
The scenes of retreating, Yang Shen passing in front of his nose and hitting the deck below were all in line with Toyotomi Nobuhide's expectations.
But at this time
call!
Genichi suddenly stopped the slashing blade, then pointed the tip of Yogami's sword at Toyotomi Nobhide's throat, and then thrust Yogami forward like a white rainbow penetrating the sun.
The corners of Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes twitched suddenly.
Genichi's attack just now... Toyotomi Nobuhide felt a strong sense of familiarity...
He felt that this move was a bit like Yagyu Shininryu's decisive move... but there were many differences.
There was no time to think more, the tip of Yang Shen's knife had already arrived.
He moved half a step to the side, moving to a place where Yang Shen could not stab him. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was the sound of an approaching blade coming from his side. Yanrong struck from a place that was difficult for his eyes to see clearly!
Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes twitched again and he quickly jumped back.
His dodge this time... was a little forced.
Although he escaped a fatal injury, the Yanrong blade still scratched from the right corner of his mouth to the left corner of his eye, creating a big crack on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face.
"Well……!"
Valley
Toyotomi Nobuhide let out a low cry of pain, covered his cheek that was instantly covered with blood with his left hand, and stepped back continuously.
While retreating, in order to prevent Genichi from pursuing him, Toyotomi Nobuhide swung his sword in the direction of Genichi and struck a heavy blow, forcing Genichi to take three steps back.
"Huh...hahahahaha..." Toyotomi Nobuhide, who retreated more than ten steps in one breath, covered his face covered with blood and let out a sinister chuckle, "It's amazing...it's really amazing."
"This is the first time I've been inextricably linked to someone since I gained the 'power of immortality'..."
Toyotomi Nobuhide put down his left hand covering his face.
There were no scars on his face anymore, only blood covering most of his face.
Genichi no longer rushed over to chase Toyotomi Nobuhide and beat him fiercely.
The series of fast attacks just now had made his breathing a little messy.
Toyotomi Nobuhide has not come back yet, so Genichi is happy to take this opportunity to adjust his breathing rhythm and regroup his posture.
"If time permits... I would rather have a good fight with you to see who is stronger and weaker between you and me."
Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face unhurriedly.
"But it's a pity that I don't have the leisure now to continue to slowly decide the outcome with you here."
An intriguing smile... appeared from the corner of Toyotomi Nobuhide's lips at this moment.
Looking at the smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face, for some reason... a chill came from Genichi's heart...
Minamoto has no way of knowing what Toyotomi Nobuhide wanted.
All he knew was that he was going to get closer and chop Toyotomi Nobuhide, that was right!
The originally chaotic breathing rhythm has been adjusted.
Genichi clenched his two swords tightly and pounced on Toyotomi Nobuhide like a sharp arrow from the string.
Facing Genichi Toyotomi Nobuhide, who was coming towards him again, he no longer held Yoshimitsu's bones in front of him.
He just smiled silently, then put his left hand into his arms and pulled out a small hand crossbow.
This hand crossbow is only as big as a hand, but it has been specially modified to be able to shoot four arrows at one go.
He did not aim the hand crossbow at Yuan Yi.
Instead, he aimed the hand crossbow at the still unconscious Lin who was leaning on the mainmast not far away and being protected by Toyotomi Nobuhide's subordinates!
Yuan Yi's pupils suddenly contracted at this moment.
Toyotomi Nobuhide has been observing Genichi's expression since just now.
Looking at Genichi's expression at this moment, Toyotomi Nobuhide showed... a smile of pure joy like a child.
Click!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Toyotomi Nobuhide pulled the trigger.
Four arrows rushed to bite Lin!
The situation was so urgent that Yuan didn't even have time to change his expression. He didn't hesitate at all and ran as fast as he could in the direction where the four arrows were flying.
In his desperate running, he narrowly missed the four arrows before they hit Lin.
He had just rushed over, and before he even had time to adjust his posture, he had to immediately launch a defense and intercept the incoming arrows. This was extremely difficult for Genichi.
But even if I force myself, I can only grit my teeth.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!
Yuan Yi waved his two swords, and the flashing sword light formed a thick "barrier", which barely managed to deflect all four arrows away.
However, after the four crossbow bolts were flicked away...
hiss!
Yoshimitsu Koushi's blade cut through the air and rain, and hit Genichi's head!
Just now, Yuan Yi reluctantly swung his sword to deflect the crossbow arrows. He had no time to adjust his posture, no time to dodge or defend...
Tsk!
The sound of the blade slicing flesh exploded...
"Oh...?" Toyotomi Nobuhide blinked twice, looking at Genichi who was quickly retreating and widening the distance between him and him with interest, "When my sword is about to hit my head, use all my strength."
Did I block it with all my strength, causing the path of the knife to deflect..."
Yuan Yi retreated to the railing near the side of the ship in one breath. After retreating without retreating, he stopped.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Yi vomited out a large amount of blood...
Although he wanted to stand up straight forever, the pain from the wound still caused Genichi's left leg to bend uncontrollably, and he knelt down on the deck with one knee.
The appearance of Yuan Yi at this moment... can be described as extremely terrifying.
A huge stab wound went from the left shoulder to the bottom of the right rib.
Hold Yang Shen tightly with your right hand, support Yang Shen on the deck, and try your best to prop up your body to prevent it from falling down.
Still holding Yan Rong's left hand, he clutched his chest tightly, trying to block the flow of blood.
But how could one of Yuan Yi's hands be able to seal such a big wound?
A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, and in just a blink of an eye, more than half of Yuan's body was dyed red, turning Yuan Yi into a bloody man...
"This hand crossbow I bought from Tang Tu is really useful." After saying this in a joking tone, Toyotomi Nobuhide stuffed the hand crossbow that had been empty of arrows back into his arms, "Although I can't directly
I’ll be satisfied with killing you, but if I can seriously injure you.”
Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his left hand and gestured at his chest.
"I advise you not to move around."
He said in a mocking tone.
"A large gash was opened on the body from the left shoulder to under the right rib. If the body was moved randomly, the internal organs might flow out along the wound, adding unnecessary pain."
Faced with this "reminder" from Toyotomi Nobuhide, he ignored it.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lin, who was still unconscious.
After confirming that he had successfully deflected all the arrows and that Lin was not injured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Toyotomi Nobuhide noticed Genichi's small movements just observing Lin.
"Do you know why I brought Xiaolin to the open deck?"
Toyotomi Nobuhide's tone was still full of ridicule.
"Not just because of the current special situation, I want to bring Xiaolin where my eyes can see her."
"It's also because I think that by taking Xiaolin with me, I might be able to turn Xiaolin into a 'special weapon' that can effectively deal with you."
"I was just gambling."
"I bet you won't sit back and watch Xiaolin being shot into a hedgehog."
"If conditions permit, I don't really want to use this trick. After all, I don't like gambling very much."
"Fortunately, I made the right bet."
"You... are really... crazy...!"
Even though it was quite difficult to even say a word now, Yuan Yi still stubbornly cast a look at the madman in front of him that was reminiscent of a blade.
"Xiaolin's life...in your eyes...is it really nothing...?!"
"Hmm... not necessarily." Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled, "I still value Xiaolin's life. If Xiaolin dies, then my 'Edo War' will not be perfect."
Having said that, Toyotomi Nobuhide walked towards Genichi in a leisurely manner, carrying his Yoshimitsu bones, which had not been washed away by the rain and stained with blood and fat on the blade.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it."
"Please hurry up and get on your way, uncle."
"For being able to force me, who has the 'power of immortality', to the point of resorting to underhanded tactics to achieve quick victory, you are worthy of the name of 'Sword Master'."
At this time, Toyotomi Nobuhide's tone no longer contained the sarcasm.
There was only a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Not being born in the same era as you... is also a pity."
"Although you are an enemy, I can also be considered a swordsman. I also really want to see how terrifying your strength is when you are at your strongest."
