Chapter 2 Be invincible and slash the ghost with one sword

There are many schools of ancient kendo in Japan, and four characters are believed.

Invincible.

and the world martial arts of the Celestial Empire, only fast and unbreakable, the meaning is actually similar.

If you want to take the lead, you must be fast, and it is best to be so fast that the opponent can't react, and then cut off the head of the opposite side with a knife.

This is also the secret meaning of the technique of drawing the sword of Iai - killing the opponent before he draws the sword.

The sword drawing technique was originally created and used as a swordsmanship for assassination, and the source is not glorious.

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi is still young in this life, he is also a swordsman who has received a year of systematic training and has been taught by a famous master.

And, for him, what the hell ... It's not the first time.

It was certainly impossible to be indifferent, but he could certainly do it if he forcibly suppressed his fear and slashed out with his sword.

Just now he watched the "funeral knife" swordsmanship video for a long time, and now he subconsciously uses this trick to close his hands.

The sword structure of the "funeral knife" is first a reverse slash with an upward oblique stroke, and then the blade is rotated, and then followed by a robe slash with overlapping trajectories.

The first style can be regarded as "slicing", which is used to open the enemy's incoming sword, and then use the second style to turn around the robe to divide the victory.

The implication is to kill the enemy with a knife and give the opponent a funeral.

The moves sound simple, and if you want to use them well, you need to practice them diligently day in and day out.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't practice, he just watched the video a few times.

This knife was used by him smoothly.

The jet-black sword shadow is his wooden knife, this wooden knife is a gift from his kendo master, but it is not those red wooden knives and white wooden knives of big road goods, but "black ebony" with good materials.

The term "ebony" also refers to several different types of dark and precious wood, and there is no such plant as ebony in plant taxonomy.

Such an ebony knife is a few points more expensive than a real knife of the same scale, and it is a luxury item that Uesugi Kiyoshi can not afford to buy.

A knife goes down and splits on a person, although it will not be cut in two, but it is not a problem to break a tendon and fracture.

The hideous demon on the other side seemed to find that he had been seen through his true body, and he no longer pretended, he waved his shriveled and thin palm with sharp nails, bent and twisted like a boneless snake, and pinched Uesugi Kiyoshi's neck.

His menacing claws were slashed open by Kiyoshi Uesugi with a knife, and then he was slashed by a robe that was as ethereal as an antelope hanging on its horns and as swift as a swallow returning to its nest.

The strength of the whole body is condensed at one point, the body is as tight as a bow, and the knife is like a full string of arrows.

The ebony knife made an intimate contact with the devil's face, the sallow skin was cracked layer by layer, and the demon's face was visibly sunk into a large piece with the naked eye, and his body was directly knocked out of the air, hitting the pots and pans on the counter, and there was an endless sound of crisp porcelain cracking.

Between the rise and fall of the rabbit, the knife is out and back, and the victory and defeat have been divided.

The ebony sword was retracted into the purple satin sword pouch, and Uesugi Kiyoshi took a half-step back, waving his hand to disperse the smoke and dust in the air.

This is not the first time he has dealt with "ghosts", let alone the first time he has killed "ghosts".

He was not surprised that he had made a great achievement with a sword, because in his opinion, most of these "ghosts" were still quite weak.

Moreover, just like humans, ghosts are killed and will die, and the method of killing people is also effective for killing ghosts.

It's all an experience he has personally explored.

This is also the original intention of him to relearn kendo.

Of course, this is not to say that those evil ghosts are useless, but Uesugi Kiyoshi himself is a little special, so that the usual tricks of those ghosts are ineffective for him.

He has the "eye of the heart".

He has never seen more powerful ghosts, so to summarize these evil ghosts he has seen, the means of these ghosts to hurt people are basically similar to "deception", which is an illusion acting on the spirit.

For example, if Kiyoshi Uesugi hadn't noticed the hint of the bowl of ramen and had eaten it with an enticing aroma, the result might have been very different.

There is also the ramen shop where Kiyoshi Uesugi is now - this is not the "present world", but a place similar to a "dream", a "spiritual space" and something like that, which he himself is accustomed to call "oni realm", because he often enters this "oni realm" after encountering oni.

As for how the ghost domain was formed and what the principle was, he didn't know, but he knew the way to get out of the ghost domain - just kill the evil ghosts that created the ghost domain.

The evil ghost who was slashed by Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword let out a somewhat terrible scream, obviously the wooden knife did not look fatal, but he was still like a dying person, wailing and rolling on the mess of the ground and twitching, and with his movements, his body gradually faded, turning into a gray mist, pouring into Uesugi Kiyoshi's body.

A few seconds later, Uesugi Kiyoshi was the only one standing in the ramen shop, and only the disgusting and bloody bowl of ramen in front of him reminded him that everything that happened was not a hallucination.

He let out a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart relaxed a little.

If you are injured in the ghost realm, you will be injured in this life.

If you die in the ghost realm, you may also die in this life, Uesugi Kiyoshi is sure of this, because the original owner of this body is likely to die like this.

"It's possible to provide this amount of mirage... This ghost isn't that strong, is he? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi muttered a little puzzled, he was surprised by the gray mist that poured into his body, and called it a "mirage".

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself in front of the ghost ramen shop, the door of the ramen shop was closed, and several chain locks were locked, and through the dusty glass windows, he could see the faint shadow of the store, the cups and plates were in disarray, the tables and chairs were scattered, and the walls were charred black, as if they had been on fire.

"Burned? No... No, if he was burned to death, his body would be in the form of a charred dried corpse. ”

"But in fact, except for some chapped skin, that ghost is no different from ordinary people..."

"And if you eat me, you will die... It's ridiculously weak..."

"Forget it... What am I thinking about this..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi withdrew his gaze from the ramen shop, cut off the curiosity in his heart, and walked out of the somewhat gloomy alley quickly.

After walking out of the alley, he could clearly feel that the cold feeling had disappeared, and the oncoming bustling voices were also reminding him that he had completely escaped from the ghost realm.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the time on his phone, it was half past six in the afternoon.

"It's the time of the devil..."

"I'm so unlucky that I went to the scene of death at the moment of the demon?"

"No wonder you can still hit ghosts in broad daylight..."

The Japanese like to refer to the period before dusk as the "Devil's Hour", believing that it is a cursed time when all evil spirits and ghosts will appear in the sky, and those who walk alone on the road will be confused and lose their souls.

Converted to modern time, the moment of the demon is probably between 6 and 7 o'clock in the afternoon.

replaced Uesugi Kiyoshi in his previous life, he didn't believe in these feudal superstitions.

But now, he had to believe it.

Just as he was walking on the road, thinking wildly, there was a sudden shock in his brain, and a stream of consciousness containing countless information exploded in his mind.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, reached out and pressed his eyebrows, but then his expression became a little surprised.

"Enough mirage?"

"The Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll is lit up? Can I finally use Baiwen cards? ”

"This golden finger is really late! Why don't you wait for me to become a Sword Saint and come back! ”

Although he was complaining, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression of surprise could not be faked.

He could no longer think about the evil ghost he had just encountered, and his steps were fast, changing from walking to running, and his heart was like an arrow.

It's been a year.

He finally has the foundation to live in this demon-infested world!
