Chapter 15 No Knife
When Uesugi Kiyoshi heard this, he didn't feel panic or surprise.
In the past year, the opponent who has fed him the most is his mentor, and the second most is Rin Izumi.
It's a shame to say it, but these two people... He couldn't beat any of them.
With those two Dog God Hundred Cards, he is now confident that he can deal with Rin Kamiizumi, but for this sword master, he knows that he has no chance of winning.
That's not a magnitude contest at all...
Children with sharp blades in their hands are no match for martial artists with their bare hands.
Therefore, he was not hypocritical, and after closing his eyes for a moment, he was ready to fight.
He immediately opened his eyes, holding the sword body in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand, with a low shout, as bright as a streamer, the momentum of the black dragon was cut out in a fifth of a second!
With all his might, he was not worried about hurting his master at all.
The first type of sword drawing and reverse slashing, was dodged by a light retreat of Kamizumi Hidekawa, Uesugi Kiyoshi was not surprised at all, he took a step forward, the sword momentum turned like a meteor, and there was no hesitation, the ebony knife drew a black arc in the air, and the one-style robe slashed obliquely rushed away with the momentum of splitting Kamiizumi Hidekawa in half!
This second-type robe slash is the last killing move!
Hidekawa Kamiizumi was not only not surprised, but ecstatic.
He looked at Oesugi Qing's eyes full of relief, and it was not much different from the doting eyes of his precious daughter - this is really a rare piece of good talent and beautiful jade!
The mirage obtained by killing the evil ghost yesterday has enhanced some of Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical fitness, plus the biggest effect of his golden finger has finally taken effect, and the knot in his heart has disappeared a lot, and he killed an evil ghost with a funeral knife yesterday, and he has a deep understanding of this style.
The three in one, this knife is the strongest "funeral knife" that Uesugi Kiyoshi can use at present!
Kamiizumi Hidekawa did not dodge or dodge, he stepped forward, his eyes were burning, his hands were closed, and he actually entered the white blade empty-handed, sandwiching Uesugi Kiyoshi's wooden knife in a pair of fleshy palms.
Then, Uesugi Hidekawa took half a step back, his shoulders sank, and he followed Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword momentum, using the place where the palm and the wooden knife touched as the lever fulcrum, twisting both palms together, and a vigorous force came from the ebony knife.
Uesugi Kiyoshi took a deep breath and was not very frustrated, but just bowed his head slightly, indicating that he would admit defeat.
"I'm sorry, I'm ugly, please ask Master for advice."
"Nope! No! No! ”
Hidekawa Kamiizumi slapped the wooden knife in his hand and paced in circles around Kiyoshi Uesugi with an expression of admiration on his face.
He said the word "no" three times in a row, and his face flushed slightly.
"You know what, Qing."
"Someone once wanted to emulate the ancestors and give me the title of the world's number one swordsman, but I knew they wanted to kill me, but I didn't take it."
"But in my heart I approve of accepting this name."
"It's not that I'm proud."
"I went to Izumi Hidekawa, touched the sword at the age of three, practiced the sword at the age of five, participated in the real sword fight at the age of eleven, and made a big name in the kendo circle of Tokyo at the age of sixteen."
"When I was twenty-one years old, I was known as the undefeated swordsman of Tokyo, and this year I am forty-five years old, and I don't know how many duels I have experienced, and my defeat is only a handful!"
"But... I can say with certainty. ”
"Sixteen-year-old me is not as good as sixteen-year-old you."
"At least this funeral knife, I will never need it at the age of sixteen!"
"You can really surprise me non-stop, you were born to use swords!"
This series of praises made Uesugi Kiyoshi blush a little - he had a mirage, he was tricky, he had twice as much time to practice swordsmanship as ordinary people, and he also had a mirage to condition his body, and he really didn't deserve to be so boasted about to achieve this kind of achievement.
But he couldn't say these things, so he could only accept Master's praise with a shy face.
Seeing that the good apprentice blushed a little, knowing that he was not arrogant or impatient, he was even more satisfied, and exchanged the ebony knife to Uesugi Kiyoshi, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is as good as a stream, and the master and apprentice sit cross-legged opposite each other.
Hidekawa Kamiizumi opened the conversation.
"Qing, you are really good, not arrogant, not arrogant, not complacent."
"You can endure hardship, endure loneliness, and have good talents, you were born for swordsmanship, and the most correct choice I made in the second half of my life may be to accept you as a disciple."
"I told you."
"Swordsmanship has never been a simple act of slashing and killing by brute force, but a comprehensive contest of wits and courage, heart, skill and body."
"What is kendo? It's the Art of War! It's the art of war! ”
"Sword fighting is like a game, and passing moves is like falling down, it's not just a reckless past, you can win by brute force!"
"How will my opponent react if I make such a move, and can I counter the trick he uses to parry me? After the countermeasures, what should I do, and what will he do? ”
"Don't think I'm exaggerating, a master of kendo really thinks so much."
"Yes, muscle memory and reaction speed can determine the outcome of a swordsmanship competition in many cases, but those swordsmen who are masters and young swordsmen with strong upper bodies, as long as they stretch out their hands on the other side, they know that they are going to use those swords next, and it is impossible for those who lose their chances to win."
"It's all a sword competition, ordinary people take one step to see one step, the master takes one step to see ten steps, the famous swordsman can take one step to see a hundred steps, the world-famous sword saint, take one step, you can see the endgame."
"That trick just now is one of the tricks that are actually applied to this kind of prediction - that's no knife to take, have you ever heard of it?"
Of course Uesugi Kiyoshi has heard of it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is thunderous.
Swordless is the ultimate technique of Yagyu Shin Yin Current, and it is the disciple of the sword saint Kamiizumi Shinzuna, Yagyu Zongyan created the empty-handed sword, and the secret technique of winning with a knife without a sword.
During the Warring States Period, in April of the eighth year of Eiroku, the sword saint Kamiizumi Shintsuna came to the hometown of his proud disciple Yagyu Soyan, and as soon as Soyan saw his master, he immediately invited Shintsuna to the dojo and displayed the "no sword take" that he had learned from studying swordsmanship in front of Shintsuna.
Seeing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna sighed with infinite emotion, because his life's dream of "taking without a sword" had been finally completed by this proud disciple, so he said the praise of "my skills are not as good as you", and awarded him the seal of the new Yin Stream on the spot.
This is the origin of the legend of no sword.
Although it is a legend, this style is not taken by a knife, but it is really recorded in the secret technique of the new Yin Stream.
And there is also a different name - "Snatching the Knife Method, Three Potentials".
Just now, Shangquan Xiuchuan used it like this, and it really had the effect of winning in a strange way.
Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi nodding, Uesuizumi Hidekawa then asked, "You have also experienced this trick, how many days will you be able to learn it?" ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi hesitated and said softly, "... It's a bit hard. ”
"Probably... Three days. ”
Hidekawa Kamizumi nodded with satisfaction, not feeling that Uesugi Kiyoshi was talking wildly at all.
"Good."
"Murder knife, living sword, no knife to take, you have learned it all."
"I have passed on all the references to you in the new Yin Stream, Yan Fei Six Styles, Tengu Copy, you are proficient."
"Thunder knife, you are even more successful, you are very good at fast knives, this is your advantage, don't give up."
"Strictly speaking, you now deserve a new Yin Stream Waiver."
Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to open his mouth to be humble, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand from Uesuizumi Hidekawa.
"If you're modest, don't mention it again."
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his bearded face, like a child preparing for a prank.
"Qing, look at my trick."
Hidekawa Kamizumi sat cross-legged, picked up the ebony knife beside him casually, and waved it very casually.
The direction in which he swung his sword was placed at the door of the dojo, and before Uesugi Kiyoshi had time to put it away, he was going to put away the wet rag used to mop the floor when he was leaving.
Hidekawa Kamiizumi was at least five or six meters away from the wet rag - but as soon as he pointed his sword, the rag shattered with a slight sharp cutting sound, turning into a cloud of cloth crumbs.
It was as if there were countless invisible sword qi that twisted this piece of cloth into pieces!
Uesugi cleared his eyes - he couldn't do that even with Baiwen cards, at least not yet!
What is this, sword qi kills, sword immortals in the world?!
Hidekawa Kamiizumi threw the wooden knife aside and smiled like an old fox seducing a chick.
"Qing, the secret technique of the new Yin Flow, you have completely mastered it, and you can be regarded as having completed the foundation of the sword."
"So what's next... Do you want to learn? ”
Uesugi swallowed and foamed, still reminiscing about the unbelievable scene just now, which didn't frighten him, he had even seen a ghost slashed, so naturally he wouldn't be robbed of his soul by such a sword.
But...
For this miraculous "sword" ...
His body is still very honest.
The chick nodded frantically like a peck, and he squeezed two words out of his throat.
"I want to learn!"
