Suddenly, Prajna suddenly held the knife to his chest, stepped back, and temporarily avoided the sharp edge - it seemed like this, but what was the reality?

The fact is that he pretended to retreat and lured Boss Kiryu to attack.

How can Boss Kiryu, who has gone through hundreds of battles and fought at a young age until he is now in his nineties, not understand the little thoughts of his disciple?

He saw through Prajna's attempt with just one glance.

However, he had no intention of retreating, but chose to take advantage of the situation and attack without hesitation!

Then he saw his body rushing forward like a beast hunting for prey! The momentum was so fierce that Prajna felt like a hurricane was coming towards his face, and his hair was messy!

In an instant, the "silver lightning" swept up the light dust and fallen leaves on the ground, and struck Prajna's chest and abdomen.

When time jumped to the next moment, Prajna used all his strength to pull up onions from the dry land and jumped up.

Boss Kiryu's sword light, Hannya's figure - two afterimages, one bright and one dark, passing each other, separated by only a hair's length.

Although Prajna escaped the disaster, the big tree behind him was unlucky.

After the terrifying sword light swept through the empty air, it hit the trunk of the big tree.

This big tree is quite old and requires at least two adults to hug its trunk.

Even the most skilled "Wooden Ax General" would need to swing the ax more than a dozen times to chop him down.

But with just one blow from Boss Kiryu, the big tree was cut into two parts, and the cuts were extremely neat.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

As the towering tree collapsed, a huge movement was heard immediately, and countless fallen leaves fell down, causing a rain of leaves.

Suddenly, the surrounding space was filled with a "rustling" sound, which seriously interfered with Kiryu's boss's hearing.

Boss Kiryu raised his ears and quickly scanned his eyes, looking for Hannya's figure.

With a snap of his fingers, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and immediately turned his head to look - in the rain of leaves, Hannya spread his legs, lowered his waist, Nagasone Kotetsu's blade had been retracted into its sheath, and he held the sheath opening with his left hand.

Press the handle of the knife with your right hand.

Familiar posture...

For Mr. Kiryu, this is a very familiar posture!

When Boss Kiryu saw this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a needle-like cold light burst out from behind his lenses.

"Master, come on!"

Prajna said excitedly.

"If I don't use this trick to decide the outcome with you, I will really feel regretful!"

Boss Kiryu said nothing.

He only silently took half a step back, put his left foot behind him, then lowered his waist, flipped his right wrist, and the blade drew a graceful arc in mid-air, changing from an overhand grip to an inverted grip, and then was sheathed inch by inch.

Center... assumes the exact same sword-drawing stance as Prajna!

"Master, this move is your life-long effort, so...I want you to see how far I have studied this move no matter what!"

Boss Kiryu responded calmly:

"Stop talking nonsense and just take action."

Prajna curled up the corners of his mouth - at this moment, his aura suddenly changed! The originally awe-inspiring aura gradually shrank inwards, and the whole person became surprisingly...quiet.

Fallen leaves were still flying between the two of them, cutting their field of vision into countless small dots. They could only observe each other's situation through this "broken space".

"..."

"..."

Ka.

Someone's knife was the first to make a sound, and the air vibrated slightly.

In an instant, this slight vibration turned into a terrifying movement like a landslide and tsunami!

An old man and a young man rushed out at the same time like cannonballs, rushing towards each other! The air was stirred up and roared, and hurricane-like air currents were set off, and then rolled and scattered in all directions.

The fallen leaves that had just fallen on the ground were swept into the air again by the air current, making a rustling sound.

In the rain of leaves, the two of them approached each other at the same time, and both entered each other's best attack range!

Drawing the sword technique and flowing light!

Nagasone Kotetsu's blade popped out of its sheath, shredding the air and fallen leaves along the way, cutting a fleeting gap, and swiped straight towards Boss Kiryu's chest.

Boss Kiryu also drew his sword at the same moment.

However……

Just when the knife was unsheathed, his facial expression suddenly changed - his right leg became weak due to being overwhelmed.

Although this is not a serious mistake, in a duel of this level, any small mistake may lead to irreparable consequences!

Due to the sudden weakness of his hind legs, Kiryu Boss was unable to successfully borrow force from the earth, so the speed of the sword was slowed down by a minute, and he was unable to reach the maximum speed when the two swords collided——

clang!!!

A deafening clang.

The two swords fired with the same move collided heavily in the air.

The impact of the impact shook out like an explosion, flying countless fallen leaves around, forming a vacuum zone with the master and apprentice as the center.

There are still falling leaves outside, but there are not even half a leaf here...the contrast is obvious.

Because the sound of the impact was so loud, people couldn't help but think that at least one person's knife was broken - in fact, this was indeed the case.

The moment the two swords collided, a flash of light shot into the sky, and then fell not far away - looking closely, it was a half-cut blade.

It is self-evident who the one who broke the knife is...

All the Prajna swords were present, but in the palm of Boss Kiryu's hand, only the handle and a small half of the blade were left.

The outcome of this "middle gate matchup" just now is already clear.

Of course there was a lack of quality in the swords, but the main reason was the mistake made by Boss Kiryu just now...

Although the knife in his hand was broken, he did not lose his will to fight.

I saw him quickly adjusting his posture and preparing to continue to compete with Prajna with this broken knife.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly bulged, and then he collapsed to the ground while clutching his chest.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

The rapid coughing, the violent heaving of the shoulders... "The breathing of the source" is difficult to continue.

The strange light in his eyes disappeared.

Hannya lowered his head and looked at Boss Kiryu:

"Have you run out of energy? It's faster than I expected."

He said that he released his fighting stance, naturally put the knife back to his side, and then looked sideways at Boss Kiryu's right leg that was spasming crazily.

"Master, even if you are as powerful as you, you can't escape the ravages of time."

"If you had swung the sword strong just now, regardless of whether you could win or not, you would certainly not have ended up like this with a broken sword."

"Tsk... Even though I won, it's really not as satisfying as beating an old man... It's really depressing..."

"If I have the chance, I really want to compete with you in your prime when you were young!"

Having said this, Hannya put on an excited expression as if he was asking for credit, and asked Boss Kiryu enthusiastically:

"Master, how is it?"

"Compared to before, my strength has greatly increased. I'm almost a completely different person, aren't I?"

"After personally experiencing my power, can you still open your eyes and say you are blind, criticizing me for not improving my strength?"

The more Prajna talked, the more excited he became, as if he was jumping up and down.

Boss Kiryu has gradually regained his composure.

However, due to exhaustion of physical strength, he now only felt that his limbs were so heavy that he could not even stand up and could only barely support his upper body.

Looking at the smug Hannya, Boss Kiryu chuckled a few times:

"Prajna, I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you."

"Through the duel just now, I am even more convinced: your strength has indeed not become stronger, and you are still standing still."

As soon as these words came out, Prajna was stunned for a moment, and then his facial expression was dominated by strong anger.

"Hey, Master, this is boring... Do you still want to be tough now?"

Boss Kiryu shook his head gently:

"No, I'm not being arrogant, I'm telling the truth: your strength has indeed not become stronger."

"Prajna, you misunderstood something."
