Chapter 378: The First of the First (13th Finale)

A series of sparks exploded in front of the tip of the bearded nose, and in the darkness, the red eyes were even more terrifying by the light of the fire.

He let out a low shout, and added another weight of strength to his arms, the already tattered black tracksuit was torn into pieces of rags and fluttered wildly with the strong wind, and the iron rod in his hand was like a wild dragon, dangerously and dangerously detonating the three invisible sword qi in front of him.

The iron rod the thickness of an adult's wrist was covered with deep and shallow cuts, and with the smell of hot iron, the iron rod was finally disconnected diagonally from the middle in embarrassment.

The bearded man didn't even have a chance to breathe, and as soon as the crisis in front of him was resolved, he immediately rolled sideways to dodge the sword that grazed the back of his head, and at the same time, the two cutting sticks in his hand were used as hidden weapons by him to shoot diagonally into the air.

There were two crisp sounds in the darkness, and the broken rod struck the two falling iron rods in mid-air without a single second, causing them to change direction and collide with the invisible sword qi slashed from above on the left and right sides.

The bearded man took the opportunity to take two steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold another iron rod that had just fallen, sat on his horse, and swept through the thousands of troops in one fell swoop, and the air exploded again and again, and the top of the iron rod was scorching dark red because of the violent friction and collision, and several sword qi that attacked him from a tricky angle suddenly disappeared.

At this point, the beard sweated like rain, and his body gradually felt sore, and he knew that his physical condition was already very bad. His current abnormal state is to use his strong body control and meditation to change the secretion level of hormones such as adrenaline, and at the same time regulate the cooperation of various body organs such as the heart, so as to forcibly overdraw the potential of the human body, so that the body's ability can explode in all directions in a short period of time.

However, the body needs to bear a terrible burden far beyond ordinary people's imagination in this situation, and because of the hormones in the body, the body's perception of pain has become numb, so it seems to be just a little sore, but in fact it is a creaking pain wail of the body.

How long can it last? The bearded man couldn't help but think: If it continues like this, it is likely that I will not be able to distinguish the winner or loser, and my body will collapse first. However, the opponent's sword qi is dense and endless, and it can always attack from the most dangerous angle, which makes people unable to defend against it, and every time the thought of not attacking from there jumps out of his heart, almost at the same time, the sword qi must come from there. Without the support of this power beyond the limit, I would have become a ghost under the sword in an instant.

At this moment, a chill that penetrated the bones and penetrated the marrow came directly at his back, and the bearded man's heart tightened, and at this time, it was too late to turn around and attack, and he would break away from the little safe space that he had managed to fight and crash headlong into the encirclement of more sword qi. He bit the braces in his mouth fiercely, and the seeker did not hesitate to live or die, and this is not the situation I longed for?

The wailing of the body made the battle spirit climb up endlessly. The bearded man put the iron rod in his hand against his waist, and with a slap of his left hand, the iron rod turned around his waist and turned to his back, which was able to withstand the invisible sword qi of the sneak attack on the empty door on his back. At the same time, the two truncating sticks that were thrown as hidden weapons just now collided and landed in front of him as he expected, and the bearded man copied it in his hand, using both hands together, and the short stick hit quickly, violently detonating the sword qi that was attacking from the front.

Although the iron rod behind his back blocked the sword qi, three bloody scars still appeared on the back of the bearded man. He didn't pay any attention to the injuries on his body, and just took two more steps, and the bearded man showed a muscular smile, and continued to twist and turn around with all his might.

Sun Suhe looked at the opponent who was approaching in a bloody battle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that although this person's behavior was inexplicably annoying, his martial arts cultivation at the peak was really respectful, and he proudly stepped outside the square as a layman, which also made Sun Suhe feel sorry for each other.

"But that's the end of it. Sun Suhe sighed softly, raised his staff, and while driving several sword qi to attack, he took the opportunity to mobilize another sword to carve the last stroke of the magic array on the ground. Suddenly, the dark warehouse glowed with emerald green, and a huge magic array quietly formed under the bearded man.

The beard's movements suddenly froze, he stood in place with two broken sticks in his hands full of shock, his beard was cut off in half, his hair was messy, his shirtless upper body was still bruised and his muscles were tendoned, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood, and the smelly liquid fell to the ground along the muscle texture.

Sun Suhe raised his voice and said, "You lost." ”

"Not necessarily. The bearded man suddenly roared, his voice vibrated in the warehouse, and a hidden weapon suddenly shot at Sun Suhe's head in the roar.

Sun Suyi turned his head sideways to avoid this sudden attack, he was greatly surprised, this hidden weapon was a half-cut stick in the left hand of the bearded man, why could this person still move? Could it be that I made a mistake in arranging the formation? No, I would never make such a low-level mistake. And judging by the speed and power with which he threw the broken stick, his body was indeed strongly restrained. Could it be......

Sun Suhe was in shock, the bearded man was lucky in the dantian, and a large amount of air was instantly inhaled into his body, and then the thunder exploded, and the beard roared:

"Broken!"

With a whistling sound, the place on the magic array that was soaked in mottled blood suddenly shook out the cracks. Sun Suhe hurriedly wanted to remedy it, but it was too late, and even he himself was shocked to a chest tightness. He felt that this howl was by no means a simple roar, but a solemn and extraordinary, which simply reminded people of an allusion in the Buddhist scriptures.

Sun Suhe finally understood what was happening in front of him. The fiery masculine blood like a volcano is as strong as even the martial arts intentions of ordinary outsiders, because of this lion's roar, a crude and primitive but directly effective Dao technique is completed.

The magic array could not withstand the internal and external troubles, and soon collapsed completely, and countless emerald green light particles scattered and flew in the air, quickly annihilating. As soon as the bearded man broke free from the invisible shackles, he immediately met Sun Suhe's dark eyes, and the two glanced at each other in the flying light particles, at that moment, time seemed to slow down endlessly, and the two laughed at the same time, Sun Su's legal staff was raised, and the bearded man rushed head-on.

The sharp sword qi became an insurmountable moat, and the bearded man had just rushed out two steps and was forced to dodge in embarrassment.

"It's still a reluctant distance, but I can only try. The bearded man brushed the edge of a sword qi with the tips of his left index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, and the blood gushed out sharply, creating a slender blood mark in the air. With a twist of his wrist, his five fingers flicked, and a large amount of hot blood was forced out of the wound, and it was reunited in the palm of his left hand.

The bearded man gritted his teeth, and suddenly slapped his palm forward, and the blood ball in his palm turned into a puff of blood mist and rushed forward under the powerful force. In the bloody wind, his eyes were as red as blood, and he carried a broken stick and roared to explode the sword qi in front of him, and rushed straight towards Sun Suhe.

Sun Suhe took a slight breath, and from Nian Cao's perspective, the scene in front of him was simply a volcanic eruption, and the thin lava erupted all over the world, and the sword qi floating around him was even shaken out of an invisible crack.

What are you kidding! My sword intent will be against him? Sun Suhe's fighting spirit suddenly aroused. He stood in place and did not retreat, his right hand clenched the staff, the brilliant sword qi was swallowed at the tip of the staff, like substance, and the green light in the palm of his left hand flowed, instantly forming a phantom of a magic book.

Outside the warehouse, everyone in the Kitano group was in a mess, and only the team leaders Kazuo Kitano and Wakatou Chimotoya were left who could barely keep their calm, but they had no way to distract themselves from the chaotic subordinates. The two stood dumbfounded, their eyes firmly absorbed by the warehouse.

"Team leader. ”

"Ahh ”

The two wanted to say something, but they couldn't speak. Perhaps what you see in front of you is not something that words can express.

They saw the warehouse collapse in front of their eyes like a cake being cut, and a strong light outside the warehouse that was set high swirled and fell from the sky, and the shelf supporting it was broken by something, and the lamp body fell, and the pillar of light swept across the sky and the ground, sweeping through the center of the ruins, alternating light and darkness for a while.

On the ruins, time seems to freeze, on one side is a tall figure covered in blood and muscles, the water vapor of the winter night is hazy on him, the light and shadow change, and the red is touching, as if the angry king is angry. The other person was thin and stood with his head held high, as if he was a lonely peak, and there was even more awe-inspiring power hidden in the silence.

The two of them were close at hand, the bearded man stood sideways, and the broken stick in his hand stabbed straight into Sun Suhe's throat. And under his jaw, a slender staff pointed upward, and the sword qi could penetrate the skull and brain with a single exhalation.

The tip of the broken stick was as sharp as a knife, but at the moment of stabbing, the broken stick broke again, and the top three inches suddenly fell to the ground. There is only three inches behind, and the winner is already clear.

The two men stopped their movements in unison and remained silent until the metal hit the ground with a muffled hum. The bearded man let out a long sigh:

"You've foreseen it. ”

"Yes, I have foreseen it. ”

The bearded man's chest was dizzy, and he remembered an old incident in a trance.

It was in a well-known kendo dojo, and the descendants of the dojo were known as unborn kendo geniuses, and once performed in public the miracle of slashing the sword and breaking the bullet in the face of gunfire. The bearded man came to ask for advice, and the descendant was giving a lecture to the disciples in the hall at that time.

"The sword master Miyamoto Musashi has repeatedly discussed the essence of 'first' in his writings, such as the "Book of Five Wheels" and the "Thirty-five Solid Rules of the Art of War". Musashi is both the art of war and the way of the sword. This is the 'Three Firsts of Kendo' that I want to talk to you about today. Come, you come against me. ”

The disciple who assisted in the demonstration on the side immediately raised his bamboo sword and slashed it down.

"The enemy moves first, and I move last. ”

As he spoke, he raised his bamboo sword and slashed the opponent's head, pushed it away, and then slashed his backhand on the opponent's chest protector with a crisp sound. If such a weightlifting is like a light blow to defeat the enemy, the disciples were immediately fascinated by it.

"Attacking, defusing, counterattacking and winning, this is called 'the last first'. Again. ”

The demonstration disciple slashed at the head with a sword again.

"If the enemy moves, I will move too. ”

This time, without waiting for the other party to split, the descendant of the lineage rushed up to attack at the same time as he spoke, and there was another crisp sound, and the bamboo sword slashed on the protective gear on the face of the demonstration disciple.

"When the enemy attacks, it is also the time when the defense is the weakest and the flaw is the greatest. At this time, I saw through all sudden attacks, and it was difficult for the opponent to make a defense. This is called 'right first'. Again. ”

The demonstration disciple did not raise the bamboo sword this time, but took off his protective gear, took out a pistol from his bosom and pointed it at the lineage. The disciples who were listening to the lecture below immediately made an uproar.

The descendant smiled and clapped his hands to stop the commotion, he took the pistol and pulled the trigger, and a wisp of flame came out of the muzzle, which turned out to be a lighter made in the shape of a pistol.

"Haha, this one is too dangerous, I won't demonstrate it today. No matter how strong the manpower is, no matter how fast the sword is drawn, it can't be shot, but ......" The descendant pointed to his temple and said: "The gunman has just had the idea of firing, and I have already noticed it first, when he pulled the trigger, my sword has been unsheathed and slashed towards the trajectory of the bullet, this is the mystery of the sword breaking the bullet, that is, the last of the three firsts of the sword. ”

"If the enemy wants to move, I will move first. ”

The descendant said that he had taken a real sword and performed a style of slashing with impeccable perfection. The disciples who were listening to the lecture below suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Do you remember them all?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, that's it for today's lecture. Go back and read through the two volumes of "The Book of Five Wheels" Wind and Fire. ”

"Yes!" the disciples agreed.

The descendant smiled and wiped his sweat, then turned and walked to a quiet room in the ashram. The bearded man sat down in the ashram as well.

"You want me to teach me one-on-one?" the descendant asked.

"That's right, I see that you gave a good lecture, and it is not in vain that I spent so much money to see you. But before I do that, I'd like to see what you said first. ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, you don't need a gun. The bearded man stood up and smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

It didn't take long for the "Ambulance, call an ambulance......" There was a sudden chaos in the dojo, and no one noticed that the bearded man had left the dojo with his hands in his pockets and a disappointed expression.

"Don't be so exaggerated, just wake up after a sleep. Hey, I've tried to slow down and accommodate him as much as possible, but I didn't expect to be defeated without even pulling out my sword. It seems that the so-called sword breaking bullet is nothing more than a prediction based on the gunner's body movements, and then practiced to practice makes perfect. Say what to say to detect the other person's thoughts first, and say big things. ”

The bright light that swirled and fell in the air finally hit the ground, and the pillar of light jumped twice before shining straight at the two people in the ruins. The bearded man slowly closed his eyes in the bright light: "Today I finally saw the first to achieve." ”

"I, lost. ”

As soon as these words came out, he let go of the broken stick, opened his mouth and spit out his braces, the bruised muscles and muscles gradually returned to normal, and his skin was no longer as red as blood, and a gust of night wind blew, and his body shook, as if all his spirit and energy had been drained.

Sun Suhe was ashamed in his heart, but in fact, all this was largely due to the intuition he inherited from Alice. Sun Suhe had long felt strange that he could sometimes keep up with those super-high-level battles when he was watching from the sidelines. For example, in the battle between Hanabi and Mr. Painting, he was a completely ignorant layman at the time, but he was able to see Mr. Painting's attack trajectory and intervene sideways to stir up the situation.

At first, Sun Suhe thought that this was his ability to practice "sword gall" in the Heavenly Dao, but in the special training some time ago, he gradually realized that the sword gall could make him not be staggered by external objects in the fierce battle, and enter the state of mind to see inside and outside, but it was his own intuition that saw through the opponent in advance, which was the combat instinct that Alice had honed in nearly a hundred years of life. This is the most important reason why he, a layman, can quickly keep up with the special training of Master Tanuki.

However, this intuition is not honed by himself after all, and he lacks actual combat experience, and the first like that just now is not the second Turin, and he can only do it occasionally when he is trained with Master Tanuki. "Thank you so much, because of your bloody battles, I was able to go further. Sun Suhe said secretly in his heart.

The bearded man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sun Suhe, there was still the last trace of brilliance in his dead eyes, and he pleaded directly: "Please don't kill me." ”

"Huh?" Sun Suhe raised his eyebrows, quite surprised: "I thought you were going to put some cruel words like 'kill or chop, do whatever you want'." In that case, why do you have to fight me?"

"The seeker does not hesitate to live and die, but the dead cannot seek the way. ”

"You're real. Sun Suhe smiled and asked, "Seekers, tell me your name." ”

"The surname is Ye, Ye Mingshan. ”
