Li Xiao carefully looked at the opponent who challenged him, and saw that he was about thirty years old, with two whiskers on his lips, sharp eyes, and his left hand gently held on the hilt of the katana at his waist.

"Swordsman." This word suddenly flashed in Li Xiao's mind, in this Warring States, just like the history created by the same samurai who aspires to get ahead, the swordsman is also one of the legends of this era. In the past, when Li Xiao played Taige Ambition, in addition to the samurai, he liked to choose the profession of swordsman, kicking the hall to kill, challenging all kinds of masters, and finally participating in the martial arts conference to obtain the title of the first in the book.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't expect that this scene would actually fall on his head today, and he would become the challenged party. No matter where you are, the other party challenges you, it is very embarrassing to avoid the battle by yourself, especially Li Xiao still has the name of Takeda Shenglai Spear Master.

Well, if you want to fight, you have to know the name of the other party, of course, if the opponent is a similar madman like Yagyu Soyan and Maeda Keiji, he will definitely not be accompanied. Li Xiao estimated the strength of the opponent in front of him, and then said in a deep voice: "When challenging others, you must always report your name first to show respect for your opponent." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of the other party's mouth, and he said briefly: "Contemptible Shigang Yiyu." ”

This name is so familiar, it seems that he has seen it when he played Taige, Li Xiao tried to remember it, and at the same time considered whether to fight. Just before Li Xiao decided whether to agree or not, the samurai Nishimura Heizo, who was in charge of security in the Takeda family, had long been unable to look at it.

Whether it was the idea that he had to curry favor with the people around the lord Takeda Katsuyori, or the consciousness of being a working boy of the Takeda family, Nishimura Heizo already felt the need to intervene. He shouted loudly: "Bold, who allowed you to challenge wantonly, I see that your behavior is suspicious, but I think you are like the Uesugi family's annihilation, take it down for me first." ”

Oh!

The team of the Takeda family agreed in unison, but at this moment, the other party took the lead.

The swordsman, Kazuha Shioka, pulled out the katana at his waist along with the sheath, and slammed the hilt into the waist of the ashigaru in front of him, instantly incapacitating his combat effectiveness. Suddenly, the man approached another Ashigaru samurai, who was about to stab him with a spear, and struck him sideways with the tail of the scabbard to knock him unconscious.

The opponent's movements were clean and neat, and they only used one move, and in the blink of an eye, they had already knocked down three more Ashigaru soldiers.

"Quick, protect the city lord and retreat outside the residence." Nishimura Heizo snorted.

Li Xiao glanced at this person, this Nishimura Heizo's eyesight is not bad, and he can see that this Shigang Kazuha is good at short-distance hand-to-hand combat, and the wielding of the spear in the sojourn cannot be convenient, so even if there are many people, they can only be beaten.

Takeda Katsuyori and Yamamoto Kansuke were surrounded by Ashigaru soldiers and retreated to the gate of the sojo.

Shioka Kazuha did not pursue graciously, and his feet seemed to be walking a little like small steps, but the speed and frequency of his movement were very fast, his shoulders did not shake his waist, and he walked quickly out of the gate of the sojourn with a katana in his left hand.

"Up."

At the moment when the other party stepped out of the gate of the residence, Nishimura Heizo shouted, and the five ashigaru stabbed forward with their guns, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity that the other party was blocking the door and couldn't dodge, killing him in one fell swoop.

At this time, Li Xiao saw a sarcastic smile on Shi Gang Yiyu's lips, and his right hand, which was as dark and powerful as iron casting, grabbed the scabbard on the left side. Everyone saw only a flash of white light, and his movements were incredibly fast, as if everything was just an instant, the action of drawing the knife out of its sheath and retracting the knife only happened and ended at the same moment.

The tips of the five ashigaru spears were cut off by the opponent in an instant.

Thundered! Thunder sounds, Shinano is hilly and often has brief showers in the afternoon. At the moment, dark clouds are already over Takato Town, and a heavy rain is about to fall in an instant.

In the face of the opponent's peerless swordsmanship, Takeda Katsuyori and Yamamoto Kansuke both pulled out their katanas at this moment, as if facing a great enemy, and concentrated on every slight movement of the opponent.

And at this moment, Li Xiao felt a few cold sweats dripping from his forehead, and secretly shouted in his heart, this swordsmanship is really too strong. Li Xiao asked himself how to deal with these ashigaru soldiers, even if he took a big gun, he would not be able to do such a weight-lifting weight, and he still won with one move.

Who is this Shigang Kazuha? Why is it so strong, Li Xiao tried hard to think about it, but he still couldn't remember.

Shioka Kazuha glanced up at the drastic change in the weather, straightened up again, and resumed his posture with his hands on his chest, the katana in his arms. The other party opened his mouth and said lightly: "It seems that it is not suitable for martial arts competition today, Your Excellency, is my Shigang Yiyu's swordsmanship worthy of fighting you?" ”

Before Li Xiao could answer, Kansuke Yamamoto suddenly asked, "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is Kashima's new swordsmanship. ”

As soon as Li Xiao heard Kansuke Yamamoto say this, he instantly remembered who this person was, and scolded in his heart, Damn, my luck is too good, I met this kind of cow.

Shioka Kazuha saw that Kansuke Yamamoto had seen through his details, and admitted very calmly: "Yes, but I only swung one sword, where did you see that I was using Kashima Shindangliu's swordsmanship." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto glanced at the other party's right hand and replied in a deep voice, "You can see from the posture you just drew your sword." ”

Shioka Kazuha glanced at Yamamoto Kansuke's right hand, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, it turns out that you have also learned the swordsmanship of the new class." ”

The conversation between the two sounds a little inexplicable to outsiders, but Li Xiao knows very well in his heart that the Kashima new current in their mouths, the patriarch of the genre he created, is the first swordsman in this era, undefeated alone, and has the title of 'Sword Saint'.

And this Shigang Yiyu, who challenged Li Xiao, is a personal disciple of Tsukahara Bu Ling. At the same time, the one feather that Shioka Kazuha later founded is also one of the important schools of swordsmanship. As for Yamamoto Kansuke, he should have been instructed by Tsukahara Fudo or his subordinates, otherwise it is unlikely that he would have had time to specialize in swordsmanship with the whole work of the Takeda family.

It is said that the first disciple of this swordsmanship, and the originator of a school later, only wondered why this master Oka Yiyu is so strong.

Wow! Heavy rain fell suddenly, and the moisture in the air came in.

In the heavy rain, Li Xiao's whole body was soaked in an instant, and then his eyes flashed, as if he had made up his mind, and then said loudly: "Okay, I promise your challenge, but the time must be set by me, how about three months later?" ”

Shigang Yiyu nodded and said, "Then three months later, we will duel under the city of Gaoyuan City. ”

In the heavy rain, the shouts of both sides were accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, which made people feel sorry from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, in a word, I am Li Xiao, a samurai of the Takeda family, and I am from the Ming Kingdom, do you remember?"

"Ming people?" Shigang Kazuha was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I came to this world to pursue the highest level of swordsmanship, and I hope that a battle with you can bring me experience." ”

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Very good, I think the same thing." ”

After the two finished speaking, Shigang Yiyu nodded at Li Xiao and turned to leave, and then his back disappeared in the heavy rain.
