Genichi's slash seemed to have predicted his movements, and it was really difficult to dodge.

Toyotomi Nobuhide only had time to pull his head back as far as possible from Yogami's blade.

Tsk-the blade cuts the flesh.

Toyotomi Nobuhide's delicate face was once again cut with a huge gash.

This time, the gap started from the right corner of his mouth to the base of his left ear.

Although it was very painful, fortunately the eye was not injured and it would not affect the subsequent battle.

Yuan Yi's fighting style has not changed at all compared to before - it is so fierce that it is difficult to imagine that this is an old man.

Bang!

The sound of stepping on the deck exploded.

Genichi, who launched the pursuit, stepped out with his left foot, stepped hard on the deck in front of him, and then turned his body with his left foot as an axis. The raindrops and blood drops on his body were blown away, and the hem of his clothes was thrown out in a beautiful semicircle.

He used the centrifugal force brought by turning his body to strike out the Yang Shen in his palm towards Toyotomi Nobuhide!

The blade of the knife cut through the falling raindrops, making a crisp sound.

The crisp sound expanded in the blink of an eye, and then - the bright sword light passed through the atmosphere, and the light focused on Toyotomi Nobuhide in one breath.

Instinctively, he felt that the current Genichi seemed to be very different from Toyotomi Nobuhide just now. To be on the safe side, he did not choose to directly receive Genichi's attack, but conservatively chose to retreat to temporarily avoid the edge.

The knife wound Genichi had just made on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face has now recovered as before.

While retreating to avoid Genichi's slashing attack, Toyotomi Nobuhide couldn't help but stare in surprise at the sword that Genichi had just struck.

——This is... Yanfei from Yagyu Shininryu? No... there are many differences from Yanfei...

Bang!

The sound of stepping hard on the deck sounded again - Yuan Yi moved his right foot and took a step forward.

He seemed not to let Toyotomi Nobuhide attack Lin again like he did just now, so he "clinged" closely to Toyotomi Nobuhide who had just retreated, preventing him from freeing his hands to attack Lin again.

Toyotomi Nobuhide saw clearly - Genichi was retreating almost at the same time as him... no, before he even started to retreat, it was as if he expected that he would retreat, in advance.

Move forward and prevent Toyotomi Nobuhide from getting out of his attack range.

——Tsk...! Did he see through all my moves...!

Toyotomi Nobuhide's face now no longer had the calmness that he had just after successfully and seriously injuring Genichi.

With his expression tensed along with his nerves, he tilted Yoshimitsu Koshoku behind him and assumed a "rolling" posture in the Katori Shinto style.

Target: Genichi's already injured chest——Yoshimitsu Koushi drew a straight line, approaching this target.

However, a scene similar to before happened again.

Yuan Yi made a mistake in his step, and in a flash, Yoshimitsu Bone Food fell into vain again.

While dodging, Yuan Yi raised Yang Shen above his head and switched to the upper stance.

In the rain curtain - the white blade flashed! The sun god slashed towards Toyotomi Nobuhide from top to bottom, making a sound in the wind.

His body dodged to the right - relying on the extraordinary reaction speed given by the "power of immortality", Toyotomi Nobuhide successfully avoided Genichi's blow and did not suffer any injuries on his body, but his

His eyes were wide open as if he had been stabbed.

——No leakage? No, it seems there are still some shadows of Beichen’s dream-style swordsmanship!

While he was still immersed in astonishment, Yuan Yi's pursuit as fast as a torrential rain came again.

Horizontal chop, downward chop, upward lift, thrust...

Every time Genichi swung his sword, the shock in Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes became more intense.

When Genichi used the two-sword style just now, he was basically using the two-sword style technique, so he couldn't see it clearly.

But now, Genichi retracted his flame into the sheath, holding only Yang Shen. After switching to the one-sword style, Toyotomi Nobuhide could clearly see - every move, every style of Genichi... it was clear and harmonious. The sword skills of each school in his memory were quite different.

But he could see the shadows of various schools in Yuan Yi's moves.

Swiftness without leakage...

Tomita-ryu techniques...

Showing the destructive power of current flow...

The depth of Katori Shinto style...

The calmness of Yagyu Shininryu...

…

To give an inappropriate metaphor... Genichi's moves are like a "big dye vat".

Each school took a scoop and combined it into Genichi's "sword".

It's obviously just a "hodgepodge" and a "big dye vat"...

But Toyotomi Nobuhide felt as heavy as a mountain in Genichi's sword!

(It seems that your swordsmanship level still needs to be improved. The swordsmanship of various schools...haven't I used it long ago?)

For no reason, Toyotomi Nobuhide suddenly recalled what Genichi had just said to him...

--Oh shit……!

Toyotomi Nobuhide is a person who doesn't like swearing very much.

But at this time, he couldn't help but break the precept.

——Plans are disrupted again and again...enough is enough...!

The original plan was to easily remove the seriously injured Genichi's head, but now it seems that there is no possibility of this plan being realized.

Accidents occurred again and again, constantly disrupting Toyotomi Nobuhide's plans.

The plan was disrupted into pieces, which made Toyotomi Nobuhide, who hated having his plan disrupted the most, have a terrifying cloud on his face.

——With such a big hole in your chest, I want to see how long you can hold on!

Toyotomi Nobuhide took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the sword in his palm, changed his tactics, and launched a fierce fast attack at Genichi!

What happened to the old man in front of me? Why did he suddenly seem to have the ability to "predict actions"?

Toyotomi Nobuhide didn't know anything about it.

But he knew - a mortal's chest had a big hole, and it was impossible for him to be fine.

Therefore, he changed his tactics.

Can't you predict my movements? Can't you dodge by predicting my movements?

Then let's see how long your seriously injured body can survive!

He attacked, attacking violently, forcing Yuan Yi to dodge, forcing Yuan Yi to consume his physical strength.

The development of the situation was just as Toyotomi Nobuhide expected - Genichi, who was avoiding a sword fight with him who had superior physical fitness, moved around, dodged his attacks, and was constantly consumed by him.

It is impossible for this old man with the name of "Sword Master" not to know that if he continues to consume him like this, his body will be unable to hold on sooner or later - Toyotomi Nobuhide thought in his heart.

He thought: Genichi, who had to desperately dodge his attacks, must be feeling anxious now.

However - after looking intently at Yuan Yi's face, he did not see the slightest hint of anxiety on Yuan Yi's face.

All he saw was... a smile on Yuan Yi's face.

It is not a smile mixed with any negative emotions or unnecessary emotions.

Just laugh.

A very pure smile, so pure that there is no impurity in it.

…

…

——Is this...the realm of transparency...?

Looking at the "transparent" world in front of him, a long-lost sense of familiarity came to Yuan Yi's heart.

Once upon a time, he had tried this several times - everything he saw suddenly became "transparent".

Because the things he saw in front of him became "transparent", he named this state "transparent state", which was completely different from the "selfless state".

But while it felt familiar... he also felt extremely strange...

The world I see this time... is far more transparent than the world I have seen when I entered the "transparent realm" before!

It doesn’t matter if it’s windy or rainy.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a person or a sword.

Their trajectories and every move were invisible to him!

This feeling... no longer feels like the world has become transparent in my eyes.

It’s more like you are integrated with the world!
