"Who are you?"

The sudden flash of the sword made the swordsman angry.

Isn't the answer obvious? Or are you so sluggish that you can't even tell the enemy apart? ”

The dagger hidden in the garment slashed in a graceful arc in mid-air, and it was not so much a one-hit death with the purpose of a sneak attack as it was the beginning of a battle signal, because the graceful trajectory of the attack was as ornate as a performance for the audience, without the slightest utility.

"The trajectory of the move is too obvious, the strength is not enough, and I want to sneak attack."

"This is just a signal that the battle has begun, if it were a sneak attack, you standing in front of me now would not be able to talk to me so easily."

"Little ghost, the ability to speak big is not weak, since you can break into here, you must also have some strength."

The guard with the blade stood in front of the door, his expression slightly solemn, and after blocking Takita's dagger, an invisible blade slashed the swordsman's rough face.

The dagger was blocked in front of the swordsman, and the unsheathed sword was like an impregnable barrier, blocking two centimeters before hitting the atrium directly, and behind the flash of silver, what was left was the unwavering determination of the man holding the sword, but he couldn't understand when his face was scratched.

An inch is short and an inch is dangerous, but a weapon like a dagger is not suitable for Takichen, and his actions are just a whim. As for the dagger, it was naturally taken with him when he left the ship.

If Takichen insisted on going in, then this battle would be inevitable no matter what, and it would be a pointless waste of time to continue to hide, not to mention that the longer he stayed here, the worse it would be for him, but before that, Takichen did not intend to let go of this opportunity to spar.

"Finally showing your fangs?"

The sparks flickered away after the iron dagger collided violently with the sword, and the seemingly dangerous blow was blocked by the swordsman.

After a brief fight, the swordsman forced Takizu back with the scabbard in his hand, and then drew his long sword, pointing directly in front of the blade at Takizu who was holding the dagger.

"Before I do that, I want to ask you one thing, what's behind this door? Specially arranged people to guard here, the situation inside is quite concerning. ”

"It's not something you can peep into, and the people who break into here, even if you're a little ghost, can't let it go."

"I've been called a little ghost, and it feels quite infuriating, since you don't want to say it, then I'd better confirm it myself."

"This isn't a garden for imps to come and go as they please."

The swordsman's brows were furrowed, although Takichen's height of 1.8 meters was only a head shorter than himself in his opinion, but after the previous fight, he also understood that the little ghost in front of him was at least not without threat.

"I also don't like to talk nonsense in a fight, how many attacks can you block next?"

Although in such a small space, it is more advantageous for Takichen to use the dagger as a weapon, but the person who always stands in front of him is not a half-baked swordsman, and his swordsmanship is very sophisticated.

In comparison, this small advantage is insignificant, and a small weapon like a dagger is not suitable for directly facing the long sword, and soon, in the competition of swordsmanship, Takitaki was suppressed by the swordsman.

"Sure enough, this alone won't work."

"What are you talking to yourself, little ghost?"

"From the moment I decided to enter here, there was no way back behind me, at least until I completed my purpose, all I could do was keep moving towards my goal, and whoever stood in my way, whoever it was, would be a cold corpse."

"Don't be ashamed, arrogant words are not casual words from a little ghost like you, just let the sword in my hand tell you the answer."

"Unfortunately, I prefer to take my fate into my own hands and cut it off!"

The invisible sharpness left several wounds on the swordsman's body with the moment the dagger swung, and the spilled blood quickly stained his clothes red, but the swordsman didn't care at all, and suddenly swung his long sword and slashed at Takitsu.

Without the simplification of the swordsmanship of the great swordsman, nor the fancy and changeable swordsmanship of the second sword, the dagger in Takichen's hand left several cracks under the reckless brute force, and it could no longer support Takichen to meet the battle that followed.

In the past six years of practice, in addition to skillfully using a trick "Yan Hui", Takichen pays more attention to the training of mixed martial arts skills, and the consolidation of swordsmanship is just to have a solid foundation, compared with people who have practiced swords for many years, there is still a certain gap, and the lack of experience is obvious.

What's more, using a dagger to block the attack of the long sword is already the limit of what Takichen can do, and it is very disadvantageous for Takichen to consume it like this.

The long sword left more and more marks on Takichen's clothes, and he looked very embarrassed, but upon closer inspection, it did not leave any scars on his body.

"The writhing of the wound will only hasten your death, you can last so long, you are already very good, little ghost, but you will still die here, this is not the place you should be."

With his trust in his swordsmanship, the swordsman believed in his heart that he must have left several wounds on Takichen's body, but he didn't know that Long Cheng was a capable person, and even his face that was scratched before thought it was just an accident.

"Saying these words without a score can easily reverse the outcome, not to mention that the injured side is not me."

Another tricky angle stabbing was defended by the swordsman, Taki Chen stepped slightly sideways, used the anti-shock force from the dagger to quickly reverse the dagger, and swung it vertically towards the swordsman's neck, and then kicked his side ribs in the air, every time the battle was aimed at the fragile parts of the human body, but fortunately, the opponent was not wearing armor.

"The real battle has just begun, how can it end so easily, secret technique-Yan Hui."

In order to reproduce the lifelong mastery of Sasaki Kojiro in Fate, Takichen can be said to have made a lot of painstaking efforts. Although it is combined with the ability of the Devil Fruit to improve this mastery to make it more suitable for him, this does not prevent Takichen from appreciating the "Gatekeeper".

Swallows can withstand the wind to avoid the blade, it has nothing to do with speed or slowness, no matter what kind of knife it is, they can't swing in the air without vibration, they just feel the vibration, so as to change the direction of flight. Therefore, no matter what kind of blow you have, you can't cut off the swallow.

The knife is just a line, and it makes sense that it can't catch a swallow that comes and goes freely in the air, so just surround its retreat. One knife attacks the swallow, and the other blocks the retreat of the swallow that is dodging with the power of the wind. However, they are very sensitive, and if they are successful, they will have to be done almost simultaneously in an instant, and if they are all at the same time, both will be too slow anyway.

For this reason, there must also be a third sword that blocks the retreat from the side, and Takichen, after understanding this secret technique, erases the traces of air vibration on this basis, so that the enemy is unnoticed.

However, after becoming an ability, this problem is solved, and it is enough to use the ability to make up for it. Although it is opportunistic, it is not impossible, it is practical.

"Among the birds, the swallow is known for its speed of flight. Being able to slash swallows with a sword, such swordsmanship, fast! It is precisely this fast word. ”

Although it was a bit shameless to paraphrase other people's words, now was not the time to think about them, and Takitaki was already fully focused on this blow.

"Ahem, what a commendable swordsmanship!"

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of the man's mouth, two deep wounds on his back that were deep and bone-piercing, and the dagger in Takita's hand had also turned into shards after completing the last mission of its life, and its body could no longer withstand such violent destruction.

Although the swordsman in front of him was already injured, Takijin had no intention of stopping, and the moment the dagger shattered, his hands made an elbow gesture and slammed into the swordsman's defenseless abdomen. The latter's already injured body was hit hard again because of the sudden blow, and even the long sword in front of him almost didn't hold it steady.

"Give up, you can't stop me anymore, although I'm not a murderer, but it doesn't mean that I will show mercy to the enemy."

"Give up? It's just a little ghost who hasn't grown up with hair, what qualifications do you have to make me put down the sword in my hand, his kindness to me can't be erased by a little ghost like you with a few words. For the sake of that plan, what does it matter if you die here? Not to mention that you are no longer armed with weapons. ”

As Takizu approached again, the sword pierced Takita's abdomen, and the swordsman gave up his defenses and tried to drag him to hell with the last of his dignity.

"As I said, I'm a person who prefers to take my destiny into my own hands."

Looking at the hollow in his body, Takitsu was unmoved, not a trace of blood flowed out of the place where the long sword pierced, and even the blade of the sword seemed to be waving in the air, and the natural Devil Fruit's physical immunity ability was vividly displayed at this moment.

"Devil Fruit Abilities?"

After breaking away from the long sword, Takichen's penetrated body gradually returned to its original state, and the swordsman lying on the ground showed an expression of disbelief, and the unexpected situation made him completely desperate, although the powerful penetration of the "bullet" of that move was a little off, but it also penetrated his lungs, and even speaking seemed to be very difficult.

"Behind this door, I'll see it myself."

Takichen didn't answer his guess, and besides, Takichen didn't have the habit of revealing his strength in front of others, even if he was destined to die.

"You can't escape, there's no way a ghost can get behind that door."

"I'm not interested in hearing the wails of the dying, so I'd better let you die."

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, this sentence has a certain truth at any time, even if Takichen was born in a peaceful era, he still never forgot the importance of mending the sword. A typical example is in movies and anime, where the protagonist causes himself and important people to die tragically at the hands of the enemy because of his unnecessary kindness.

"There is nothing wrong with good and evil, what is wrong is that you met me, goodbye, take your loyalty to the other world to repay."

"Thanks... Thank you!"
