Chapter 24: Sword Qi
Earthly.
The backyard of the Uesugi Kiyodokan.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
The pressure came from the smartphone that Yanagi was holding alof.
Uesugi Kiyoshi sat on his knees with his eyes closed, a hazy sword in front of him, and further on, a three-foot-square sword test stone.
Next to him, Rin Kamizumi was sitting in a regular manner, looking around vigilantly, dutifully protecting the Dharma.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there are already several faces that do not look too young.
The first to bear the brunt of the are, of course, Hidekawa Kamiizumi and Tetsuhei Yagyu.
In addition to this, there were several middle-aged men who were obviously wearing kendo uniforms, and they also gathered around them.
Outsiders may not be able to see it, but if Uesugi Kiyoshi wakes up now, he can recognize it at a glance, this is definitely a famous swordsman, a horse and even a swordsman who suppressed one side.
The passionate sword intent in his eyes can't be faked.
Especially the transcendent swordsmen, those mysterious and mysterious sword intent, murderous aura, are truly and truly perceptible.
At this time, Hidekawa Kamiizumi and Tetsuhei Yagyu were not too good-looking, and they were both very serious.
A middle-aged swordsman next to him frowned and muttered to himself.
"It's... Three hours, right? ”
"Hey, Ito, how long did it take you to awaken Kenshin?"
The swordsman named Ito on the side pondered for a few seconds and said softly, "I have limited qualifications, and I have only experienced half an hour of sword heart sharpening. ”
"It stands to reason that the longer the sword heart is sharpened, the clearer the awakened sword heart will be, the more intense the consciousness will be, and the future will be brighter."
"But... Three hours. ”
"It's been too long, will there be a mess?"
"You know... So far, even the best swordsmen in ancient and modern history have not awakened Kenshin for more than an hour. ”
Hearing this, the muscles on Hidekawa Kamiizumi's face throbbed violently, and he was silent and did not speak.
Instead, it was Yanagi Tetsuhei who gently pushed Izumi Xiuchuan's shoulder.
"Hey, Xiuchuan, there will definitely be no problem with that sword heart seed."
"How can you still sit still, you understand, the human spirit has a limit, in the process of awakening, the brain domain is overdeveloped, it is easy to be traumatized by the brain, at least become an idiot, or kill on the spot!"
"It's almost, let's stop."
"Hurry back and take a look, there must be something wrong here, it stands to reason that you have trained this kid for so long, it is impossible that you can't even pass the awakening of Kenshin."
"Otherwise, you can't think so highly of him."
Hidekawa Kamiizumi subconsciously clenched his fists, and slowly released them, revealing his palms soaked in cold sweat.
His face was not obvious, but his heart was already extremely nervous.
If Uesugi Kiyoshi is hit hard because of his decision, he will fall into guilt and self-blame for the rest of his life.
That was his heir, the last apprentice.
The master of the new Yin Stream, Jian Hao, took a deep breath, nodded with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes, and just wanted to say something.
Before he could speak, Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was sitting calmly, suddenly opened his eyes.
After making eye contact with his lover, Hidekawa Kamiizumi was momentarily stunned for a moment, and then a little ecstatic.
What was in those eyes?
Three points of anger, three points of unwillingness, three points of sadness, and one point of reason to contain emotional outbursts, converged into these eyes full of sword intent.
Hidekawa Kamiizumi doesn't know the inside story, but he knows... It's done!
This is the regular phenomenon after Kenshin's awakening, where emotions are mobilized to the limit and thus break through to the extraordinary.
Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi is like this, just because he recalls too many memories.
The anger was because he died in no apparent terms.
is unwilling because the hundreds of ghosts under his command are dead and injured.
Grief is the sound of the death of Achai and Xing.
The final calmness allowed him to distinguish the difference between the present world and the unreal.
In the haze, his consciousness was still a little blurry.
Only Master's familiar voice was heard.
"Qing! Out of the sword, with the village rain! ”
Out of trust in his master, Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up and held the village rain in front of him in his hand.
The sword is out of the sheath, the air fills the chest, the sword light is like frost, and the sword energy is like a rainbow.
Naturally, every cell in Uesugi Kiyoshi's body contributed a trace of life force, and under the control of high-intensity spiritual power, it gathered into a force that broke through the boundaries and stepped into the transcendent energy, which was injected into the sword body of Murayu.
The sword roared like a storm.
Murayu seemed to be responding to Uesugi Kiyoshi, trembling constantly, and bursts of sword groans continued to come.
Instinctive consciousness drove Uesugi Kiyoshi to draw his sword.
In his heart, he is actually still reminiscing about what he has just experienced.
The memories of "sword qi" and "qi" were surging in his mind as if they were another life.
The dignified Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, slashing the enemy chief with a sword, can be regarded as cultivating these two things to the home.
Although for some reason, this power cannot be passed down completely, but... What Uesugi Kiyoshi got was definitely enough.
"The mobilization of emotions, the drive of strength, and the indomitable consciousness."
"Mixed together."
"Slash out!"
Close your eyes, open your eyes.
A wink.
The sword roared like a gale.
The village rain, which was filled with water vapor, made a close contact with the sword test stone that was not gold or jade.
It wasn't so hard to cut into as hard as expected, and it didn't cut in half smoothly.
The "Sword Test Stone", a magical stone that can sense the strength of the swordsman's consciousness awakened by Kenshin, shattered and exploded into powder at the first moment of contact with Uesugi Kiyoshi's Murayu.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Uesugi Kiyoshi slashed his sword on the stone road in front of him, the earth trembled and cracked, and a crack in the ground dozens of meters long and half a meter wide suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Liu Sheng's fitness hand hid to the side, the boss with a grinning mouth, and his face was incredulous.
In the mobile phone in his hand, there was an uproar.
Yanagi Tehei had just been serving tea and drinking water, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't hold back after all, and a sip of tea sprayed on the placket of Kamiizumi Hidekawa's clothes.
Shangquan Xiuchuan still took care of this, he stood up excitedly, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and suddenly laughed loudly, laughing heartily.
Those onlookers also blew up.
"It's... What is it? ”
"The test stone is broken?!!"
"Hey, Yanagi, it's not a shoddy product, is it?"
Yanagi Toru turned his head and snorted, his face slightly distorted.
"Shut up! The sword test stones we use are all imported from the Celestial Empire, and since thirty years ago, transcendent swordsmen have used sword test stones to test the results of Kenshin's awakening, and so far, there has never been a mistake. ”
"Ito, I ask you, the existing... What is the best grade? ”
Ito shook his head, his eyes already widening like brass bells.
"If I'm not mistaken, in our generation, the best one is Brother Shangquan, who slashed into the three-foot sword test stone with one sword, and one foot eight into the stone."
"Your youngest son, Lian, is indeed talented, and he has broken two feet four with one sword, which is already an unprecedented achievement."
“...”
"But..."
"What kind of monster apprentice did this old bastard Hidekawa Kamizumi find?"
"Three hours of Kenshin Awakening is enough..."
"A sword will slash the sword test stone into powder! It's simply unheard of... How strong is his awakened sword heart?!! ”
Kamizumi Hidekawa waved his hand a little excitedly, took a few quick breaths, his face flushed a little, and his smile became more and more proud.
"Hmph... I knew that Kiyoshi would never let me down. ”
"I mentioned this before, and you still laughed at me for talking big, so what?"
"I said it."
"If there is one person in this country who can reach the pinnacle of kendo now... That must be clear! ”
"Who else thinks I'm bragging?"
"Let's go cut a sword test stone and try it!"
In the somewhat noisy admiration of several swordsmen, Uesugi Qing exhaled a turbid breath and opened his eyes.
His eyes have returned to calm, his sword intent is restrained, and he can't see joy or anger.
He put Mura Yu back in the scabbard, bowed slightly, and saluted the screen of his mobile phone held high.
"Master, the disciple has succeeded."
As he spoke, he poked his finger out.
The slender fingertips, three inches of sharp edge, flashed with a faint but real milky white light.
Then, he shook his hand.
The three-inch sword was thrown out and hit the rockery not far away, cutting off half of the peak.
Seeing this, the swordsmen over there were shouting and scolding again.
"Hidekawa Kamiizumi!"
"Your apprentice is human?"
"As soon as you awaken the sword heart, you can leave the body with sword qi and kill people in a hundred steps?"
“...”
"I'm not as skilled with this trick as he is now!"
