Qingteng suddenly felt a heavy pressure approaching his chest, and he took two steps back. However, the new wife Kuan refused to give in, and after another loud Qihe, she bit Qingteng who was retreating.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

The dark yellow bamboo sword blade was danced wide by the new wife, leaving dark yellow afterimages.

Shinto Muken-ryu's swordsmanship style that focuses on strength and attack is implemented extremely well by Hiroshi Arizuma. The wind pressure caused by every attack he makes makes the surrounding onlookers feel numb just listening to it.

.

The two people's feet kept sliding, and the ground made a sound. The white sandstones on the ground were kicked, and the sound of shoveling could be heard one after another.

After dodging another attack from Nitsuma Kuan, Qingden saw the opportunity and suddenly pressed his body's center of gravity, crouched down, drew an arc with the sword in his left hand, crossed the air, and struck Nitsuma Kuan.

The right wrist holding the sword.

Qingdeng is a "left-handed" person. Whether he uses his left hand or his right hand to wield a sword, the power and speed are the same.

Faced with Qingden's sudden attack, Nitsuma Kuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly retracted his sword-holding hands. The blade of Qingden's bamboo sword brushed against the armor of Nitsuma Kuan's wrists.

Although Qingteng's attack failed to hit the target, it successfully defused Nitsuma Kuan's continuous offensive and interrupted Nitsuma Kuan's attack rhythm.

Qingdeng took advantage of the situation and pursued him. He aimed his left shoulder diagonally at Nitsuma Kuan, adopted a lower right posture, kicked off the ground with his back foot, and rushed towards Nitsuma Kuan with a momentum as if he wanted to knock Nitsuma Kuan down.

Just when the two figures were about to overlap, Qingteng's sword slanted across the right side of Nitsuma Kuan's abdomen as he passed by.

According to the rules of this competition, the entire torso is a critical part that can be defeated with just one hit.

It's a pity that Qingteng's sword tip only grazed the air - just as Qingteng rushed toward him, Nitsuma Kuan reacted very quickly and moved half a step sideways, causing Qingteng's sword tip to be a little farther away, only to cut

To the air.

Qingteng took advantage of the momentum of the cross and ran forward two steps, then stopped there and turned to look at Xin Zuma Kuan - Xin Zuma Kuan's face was not seen, but he first saw the dark yellow bamboo sword that was rapidly zooming in his field of vision.

Sword body.

This time, Nitsuma Kuan did not send out his kiai before the attack, but instead swung his sword without saying a word. A horizontal slash across Qingden's line of sight had already swept towards Qingden's head.

At this time, Qingdeng's body reacted one step ahead of his brain.

Qingdeng pointed the tip of the knife downward and stepped forward. He tilted his body and swung the knife upwards. With a loud "snap", he deflected the heavy blow from Xinzuma Kuan.

Shinzuma Kuan's bamboo sword seemed to be breaking away from his hand and flying into the sky, rising high.

Feeling the powerful force transmitted from the sword to his arms, Kuan Nitsuma's face changed slightly.

"Gu..." Nitsuma Kuan gritted his teeth and used brute force to stop the reaction force coming from the sword.

"Drink——!"

The bamboo sword in Nitsuma Kuan's hand once again drew an arc in the air.

His bamboo sword followed his body, jumped up violently, and rushed towards Qingdeng!

Qingdeng also faced him with his sword without any fear, and ran into Xinzuma Kuan without any help!

Qingdeng's figure and Xizuma Kuan's figure overlapped again under the bright sun.

Snap! Snap!

The moment the two people passed each other again, the sound of two rapid bamboo swords striking each other burst out.

There is still no feeling of hitting the opponent's armor on the palm.

Snap!

Snap!

The two people who passed each other stepped on the ground at the same time, stopped and rushed forward. With the momentum of falling, another handful of white fine sand and gravel on the ground were trampled into pieces, kicked up, and flew outward in a beautiful fan shape.

Scattered.

The two of them stepped on their feet at the same time to stabilize their bodies, and then quickly turned around at the same time.

After confirming each other's current positions, the two fought together again.

…

…

After Qing Deng and his new wife Kuan started fighting, the exclamations in the audience seats never stopped.

There are quite a lot of people...the Shiweikan group headed by Shusuke, the Chiba Swordsman group headed by Chiba Nobuyoshi and Chiba Eijiro, including Saito Yakuro, the master of Niizuma Hiroshi, are all here now.

He kept frowning and casting doubtful glances towards the playing field.

Chiba Eijiro, Shusuke and others who have good attainments in swordsmanship feel the most confused, because based on their performance in yesterday's game... Niizuma Hiroshi shouldn't have the strength to compete with Aitobo.

That's right.

Hiroshi Niizuma could only withstand three or four attacks from Ayoto at most - this was the unanimous understanding of swordsmen with extremely high swordsmanship such as Eijiro Chiba and Shusuke before the final began.

Therefore, at this moment, the scene of Ainotomasa and Nitsuma Kan fighting fiercely on the field really made Chiba Eijiro and others feel particularly incomprehensible.

Chiba Sadayoshi and Chiba Eijiro, the uncles and nephews, were the first to discover why Nitsuma Kan suddenly became so strong.

"This man's concentration is so strong right now..." Eijiro Chiba, who was staring at the wide figure of his new wife on the field, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Compared to Chiba Eijiro and others who were puzzled as to why Niizuma Kan's strength had increased so much, most of the spectators at the viewing gallery did not have so many twists and turns in their minds.

Except for some people who were looking forward to seeing "Qingden once again kill his opponent instantly" who were disappointed, the rest of the spectators were quite excited now.

The swordsmen fought fiercely with each other - this is what they really want to see in the sword competition!

Most of the spectators were now watching the contest between Qingnobo and Nitsuma Kuan with great interest and energy. They succeeded in making the excitement that filled the spectator seats even higher.

Even most of the feudal lords on the "VIP table" were watching with great interest at this time.

This kind of sword fighting that is full of entertainment is extremely rare for famous names like them.

Today, Marquis Aizu, who continues to attend the competition, is still sitting in the center of the VIP table.

Although he was expressionless as always, showing no emotion or anger, his eyes were fixed on the field at this time, and it was enough to see that he was also watching the game very seriously.

There were also some people who showed other emotions besides confusion and excitement - those were Kondo, Hijikata, Okita, Shannan, Chiba Jutaro and others.

They all thought that Qingteng would be able to easily defeat Shin-Tsuma Kuan. Now that they saw that their original assumptions had failed, they all looked worried, worried about whether Qingteng would lose.

Chiba Jutaro was the most excited.

He stretched his neck long and stared at any movement on the field without blinking. His legs crossed on the ground kept shaking. His anxious look was different from that of his sister Sanako beside him.

Forming a very sharp contrast.

Sanako, who was sitting on his knees with a standard movement that couldn't be faulted, with his hands folded on his lap, looked neither sad nor happy, as if he didn't particularly care about the events on the field.

Chiba Jutaro noticed Sanako's appearance from the corner of his eye, and a wry smile appeared uncontrollably at the corner of his mouth.

He knows that the plan of "bringing together Qingto and Sanako" still has a long way to go...

Sanako clearly only regards Aoto as an "acquaintance" and a "normal friend", so she now shows that she doesn't particularly care about Aoto's competition.

At present, he could no longer care about his sister. Chiba Jutaro withdrew his attention from Sanako and continued to focus his whole body and mind on the arena where the sound of fierce clashes of bamboo swords continued to be heard.

…

…

A martial arts viewing seat, somewhere in a corner——

Rakshasa, who was hunched over and supporting his head with his right hand, had a cheerful smile on his face.

"Oh..." Rakshasa said softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly, "It seems that a person's mental state can indeed affect the effectiveness of the 'Wu Nian Pill'..."

After saying that, Rakshasa showed an even happier smile.

…

…

Nizuma Kuan now feels that his current state is really great.

Just now, after swallowing the pill, the new wife Kuandeng felt a "rumbling" sound inside her head.

This huge "noise" in the head almost made the new wife Kuan almost join in the pain and speak out.

After gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain, a strange feeling immediately spread out from his brain to his limbs.

My head is unprecedentedly clear and clear. I have never felt so refreshed in my life.

The concentration is extremely high. It is also the first time in my life that I have experienced such a concentrated state of concentration.

The clarity of his head made Xin Zukuan's thinking speed speed up several times, and his concentration allowed him to react to Qingdeng's various actions faster - in a word, this pill made Xin Zuma Kuan's reaction

The speed has improved dramatically.

The most intuitive change brought about by the improvement in reaction speed is that it becomes difficult for Qingdeng's attacks to hit him, and he can frequently find the best attack opportunities to launch sharp counterattacks against Qingdeng.

——Can win!

——I can defeat Tachibana Aoden!

——I have a chance to win this competition!

Shinzuma Kan danced the bamboo sword in his hand even more vigorously, exerted all his strength, and launched an even more fierce attack on Qingden.
