Chapter 105 Fateful Showdown - Killer Sword vs Living Sword

"What you see now is a Red player, a famous swordsman from Yinliu - Yau Yui Weide! He participated in the Martial Soul Decision two years ago and was defeated by the gun master Zhu Yue, the gun king Zhu Yue. The gun king Zhu Yue finally won the Martial Soul Cup in that year. Therefore, that failure proved that Mr. Yau Yui Weide's strength should not be underestimated!"

"The Blue Player you see now is the newly emerged young swordsman this year - Black Mask. Although this swordsman seems to be young and has never had a famous record before, since he can come to this stage as a teenager, he must be confident and just wait to show his skills."

This is the second round of the Wuhun Decision. With the elimination of each round, the competition venues are getting bigger and bigger, and the competition venues can accommodate more and more spectators. For example, during the qualifiers, the competition venues can only accommodate dozens of spectators. In the first round of the official competition, there are two or three hundred seats in the field.

This game was the second round of the Wuhun Jue. Not only did there appear commentary that actively introduced the players of both sides, but there were even 500 seats in the audience at the competition venue.

"Now, it's time for both players to communicate-"

The referee waved to the two and asked them to come to the center of the venue, saying. Since the players on both sides are of the same nationality, the referee naturally cannot use the referee for translation.

Yuki Midea looked at the mask on Yayoi Moto and the face, and his face was a little unhappy, and he said, "Young man, don't think about sensationalism. Swords must be practiced steadily. You can not improve your kendo level by making a mask. Moreover, in such an important game, you were two minutes late? Do you have any swordsman respect for the duel?"

"I'm so sorry. Today I took the final exam. Although I handed out the papers in advance, I was still because of traffic jams on the road and was late. Please forgive me." Yagyu Motokazu was also helpless. He had calculated the time and was able to catch up with the competition after handing out the papers. As a result, the traffic jams on the road for half an hour, and Haoxuan was directly judged to have failed.

"———————” Hearing such a strange reason, Yagyu Midea originally felt that as a senior Kendo, he had prepared a bunch of words to teach the younger generation a lesson. He didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he waved his hand to the referee and signaled the end of the conversation.

The two walked on both ends of the ring separately. After the referee announced the start, he quickly left the ring and returned to his referee's seat.

"The black mask and Yagyu Mitoyo stood on both ends of the ring, with two swordsmen's white kendo uniforms with wide robes and big sleeves, same barefoots, same samurai swords, and even their heights were almost the same."

Sitting on the other side, the two men and women in charge of the commentary began to warm up the field. As the Wuhun Final Competition progressed, the organizers also paid more and more attention to the competition. Whether in terms of ticket prices, broadcasting rights or the number of service personnel, they all showed an index increase.

"Teacher Hosokawa, you once won the fourth place in the Japanese Kendo Award. In your opinion, which of these two swordsmen has a greater chance of winning?"

"In fact, this matter is not difficult to judge. Mr. Weide Yagyu is 32 years old this year, and it is the golden age of a swordsman. When he participated in the martial soul ritual two years ago, he could already face the gun king Zhu Yue head-on. Of course, he failed, but this does not affect everyone's high evaluation of Weide Yagyu."

"And on the other hand, this black mask classmate, well, please forgive me for calling this contestant by the name of classmate. Even if he wears a mask, he cannot completely hide his age. In my opinion, this black mask is definitely not over 18 years old, which means that this person is probably still a high school student."

"This is the first time Black Mask has participated in the Martial Soul Decision. Before that, he has no record of participating in the martial arts competition. Of course, he may have participated in inter-school competitions between students? Haha——

So, without rich experience in the competition, the Black Mask is far from reaching the peak time period of the swordsman in terms of age. In my opinion, the Black Mask has little chance of winning in this game."

"Wow! What did I see? What did I see!" Commentary Hosokawa suddenly screamed.

On the ring, Black Mask and Yagyu Weide were already approaching each other. Yagyu Weide held the samurai sword in both hands, raised the hilt of the knife over his head, pointed the tip slightly downward and parallel to his eyebrows; while Black Mask seemed to hesitate, then held the hilt of the knife with both hands, first upright the knife on the center of his eyebrows, and then placed the samurai sword flat, the blade was facing outward, and pointed slightly obliquely.

"Red player Yayoi Weide put out a sword structure, which is called the Shangxinyue, which is the starting sword structure of Xinyinliu's famous sword technique - the murderous sword."

"The player of the blue side, Black Mask, also set up a sword structure. This sword structure is called - Lihuo* sound, which is a more famous sword technique in Xinyinliu, but almost no one uses - the starting sword structure of the living sword."

"This reminds me of a famous event in the history of Kendo - the trial of the inner and outer gates of the Xinyinliu. Is history going to repeat itself four hundred years later? Are we going to see another internal strife between the murderer and the living sword?"

"Shogawakun, the Xinyin River no longer exists?"

"Yes! The Xinyinliu, which was famous at that time, was like the number one sect in Japan's kendo, quickly declined from the trial of the inner and outer sects, and even the signature of the genre was destroyed. However, it is undeniable that the profound impact of the Xinyinliu on the Japanese kendo, today four hundred years later, we can still see many swordsmen practicing the Xinyinliu kendo."

On the ring, Yagyu Weide saw the black mask on the opposite side actually posed this sword structure, and he was furious and said in his heart: "A little bastard dares to look down on me like this. Use the sword technique of living swords, which should be swept into the garbage dump of history, to deal with me?"

Originally, the sword structure of Shangxinyue was a sword structure that was mainly defensive and counterattacking. Yagyu Weide gave up the right to attack first because the opponent was just a student. However, seeing the opponent actually put out the starting sword structure of the living sword, he was really angry.

Yagyu Mideaki believes that he is the authentic successor of the Yagyu family. Of course, he is not like Yagyu Moto and their family. Yagyu Moto is just like what his father said, and he doesn't even know whether his father Yagyu and Shima are joking. And Yagyu's family does have a famous sword book that can be used as a proof.

Yes, there is a secret book in the Xinyinliu Secret History of the New Yinliu - the Scroll of No Swords! This book, or the scroll, is a secret book passed down from generation to generation in his family, but it is different from what everyone thinks. This book is not a secret book of swordsmanship at all, and there is no high-end content like "no sword is better than a sword".

This book has nothing to do with swordsmanship at all. It is worthy of the word "no sword" in the title. The whole article covers how to improve spiritual cultivation and maintain the health of the body. Not to mention swords, there is not even boxing techniques.

Even later generations say that in the "Scroll without Swords", there is a magical skill of "Scroll without Swords". Yagyu Weide can say very responsibly that unless the "Scroll without Swords" in his family is fake, the "Scroll without Swords" is not the thing recorded in the "Scroll without Swords".

Although Shangxianyue mainly focuses on defensive counterattacks, of course there are also changes in active attacks. Yagyu Midea moved forward step by step, while the black mask on the opposite side walked over with a swagger. Although the starting sword structure of the Living Sword itself does not hinder the movement, the other party's attitude is obviously a manifestation of the young and crazy man who disrespects the sword duel in Yagyu Midea's eyes.

But in the eyes of the audience, it was another matter. Everyone only saw Yagyu Weide moving carefully step by step, while the black mask was moving slowly forward with confidence.

"Hoshikawa, you see that Black Mask is so confident, is he very sure of victory?"

"Haha, new swordsmen often make mistakes in details. For swordsmen, the outcome is within 0.1 second, and what is the concept of 0.1 second? A normal person blinks once, and it takes 0.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds. In other words, when a swordsman is duel, a blink of an inappropriate time will determine the outcome."

"And the two players on the field, Yuki Yuki showed the cautious qualities that a swordsman should have. Even if his opponent is just an unknown young man, he still treats it with caution."

"Then Hosokawa-kun, you mean this black mask--"

"Yes, this Black Mask may have too few opportunities to fight against the master. I don't know that the kendo master will have a chance to compete. The winner will only be in a moment. If he moves like this, his posture will be very cool. However, the process of his center of gravity moving becomes regular due to his walking steps. Yagyu Mide-de is likely to use the instability caused by his center of gravity moving to launch an attack. This will be one of the reasons for the Black Mask's failure."

On the ring, when the Black Mask is about to land before it is landing, it is just the moment when the Black Mask is going to move forward, and the foot is not able to exert force before it falls.

Yagyu Mito turned his hands down and sent him forward. His original stern moon sword structure had the hilt on his head, slightly higher than his head. With this turn and send, the samurai sword turned into a middle-level forward stab. During the posture change, the samurai sword naturally drew a semicircle, which not only strengthened the piercing force, but also blocked the black mask's counterattack route.

To be honest, although he had discussed it with his father at home, Yuki Motoka was not very adapted to this performative style of playing. Generally speaking, he would either use Zhoutian martial arts to deal with it casually. If he met a more powerful opponent, he would still like to use the Bahuang Random Knife and slash it all the way. If one knife doesn't work, two knifes will not work. Ten knifes and hundreds of knifes will follow behind. There will always be times when the opponent is chopped down.

But since he was going to perform and have a show this time, it was very embarrassing. The guy on the opposite side was of level, but he couldn't reach a few moves with him. If he did it seriously, Yuki Motoka felt that as long as he drew his sword, he would not even have time to react.

Forget it, let's play with the Living Man Sword with him, because the Living Man Sword basically has no sudden offensive moves, which is just right for the current scene. At least Yagyu Motoshi doesn't have to worry about the opponent not being able to react, and ended the game in just a few seconds.

Therefore, in Yagyu Moto and the unintentional choice, this game actually turned into a situation where the "killer knife" vs. the "living sword".

"Dingdang, Dingdang--" The rhythmic sound of swords and swords fighting without stopping from the beginning of the game. Two Japanese swordsmen with white robes and big sleeves performed a Japanese kendo showdown that could almost be included in the textbook level. Two samurai swords swung and slashed, whipped and slapped, and collided from time to time. Their figures unfolded with the sword, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and seemed chic and free.

Yagyu Weide was strong and powerful, and he was clear in advance and retreat with one sword. The knife was like an arrow leaving the string, and the knife was like a mountain standing tall. Even he was extremely satisfied with his performance today. This kind of sword technique has obtained the essence of the "killing sword"?

The black mask is like flowing clouds and flowing water. The sword and the person seem to unite into a round whole. When the sword advances, the person advances. When the sword retreats, the person retreats. Just like willow catkins in the wind, it floats forward and retreat with Willow Sheng's attack and defense.

The two of them move forward and backward, and they retreat, and they retreat. The so-called "whether the hands touch, the shoulders lean, the feet walk, the knees rush, the waves are all facing each other, and the sound of swords and swords with clear rhythms makes them look like a pair of dancers dancing on the ring.

"This is a destiny battle that spans time and space. Four hundred years ago, the confrontation between the murderer and the living sword tore the pride of the disciples of the Xinyinliu inner sect, and stepped on the style of the "Sword of No Kill" from the sky into the mud.

Now, whenever we mention the "Living Man Sword", we always compare it with Duke Xiang of Song in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Celestial Empire, and believe that this is a completely sensational and the concept of benevolence of women. But who has ever thought about how courage it would take to propose the "No Killing Sword" in that era when people cannibalize people and the whole world is full of hostility!"

At the commentary seat, Mr. Hosokawa paused for a moment and began to explain again.

"The black mask in front of everyone is explaining to us what is the "Sword of No Killing". In his hand, the samurai sword has never pointed to the opponent's vital parts, and it completely uses the opponent's arms and legs as the targets of attack.

Attacking the legs makes the opponent unable to attack step by step; attacking the arms makes the opponent have to withdraw his arms, thereby dismantling the opponent's attack."

"From this young swordsman wearing a black mask, we are fortunate to admire the style and mind of a generation of swordsman Yasuo Sonyan. When I was learning swordsman, I heard about the tragedy of the inner and outer sects of the Xinyinliu. I often wondered if the swordsman Yasuo Sonyan was frustrated?
