Chapter 193: The Strength of the Sword Master!
After all the contestants entered the stadium, they were inspected by the emperor and the shogun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Emperor first gave a speech of encouragement to the contestants. Subsequently, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru also talked about a few points from his own point of view.
After all, he has good swordsmanship, and he is an apprentice of Tsukahara Buchuan, and he is very fond of this way, so he said a few words to the point, making everyone feel that the general is really a bit of a level, and he is indeed a person who loves swordsmanship, not a wine bag rice bag.
Of course, this is also the impression that the general himself wants to bring to everyone.
After that, the Imperial Sky Tour officially began.
Opponents with large ranking gaps play first, so that the top players can rest and recover their strength earlier after the victory.
So the old sword saint Tsukahara Bu Chuan was the first to play.
His opponent was a samurai who wielded a large naginata.
Not only is this samurai's weapon long, but he also has a lot of strength in his own right, and he swings it very quickly, which gives him an advantage when dealing with a katana of ordinary length.
In the previous competition, everyone used wooden knives, which were about the same length, so they couldn't show it. But now that he had taken out his weapon, he could see that something was different.
"Master, be careful. His weapon is long and looks so powerful! Gao Xianda and Tsukahara Buchuan were close, and couldn't help but remind.
"Weapons don't necessarily have to be strong because they are long. In a real sword duel, the winner is only a thought. Tsukahara said, "You can take your time." ”
After that, Tsukahara Buchuan came to the stage.
Also, if this person is really good enough, he will not be ranked thirty-second.
"Old man, the so-called Sword Saint, that's it!" The man laughed and said, "Take such a short knife against me? I'm afraid your hand with a knife is trembling, right? After that person came on the stage, he actually began to mock Tsukahara Buden.
"My sword is not long, but it is enough to deal with you." Tsukahara Buchuan said with a smile, "And the title of Sword Saint is just a false name." You can also be a Juggernaut if you want. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, old man!" The man shook the naginata in his hand and said, "Although I am ranked low, I actually chose it on purpose." I just want to meet you, the so-called Juggernaut, so that you can't even pass the first round of the competition! I've got the title of your sword master! ”
Since he said this, Tsukahara Buden did not speak, but just stretched out his hand to signal to the staff that the battle could begin.
The staff next to him is also a professional, holding two small flags in his hands, and waving them vigorously downwards to indicate that the duel has begun.
Although that person mocked Tsukahara Buden verbally, he was actually scared in his heart. He did this just to provoke the wrath of Tsukahara Buden, hoping that the Juggernaut would make a mistake because of his age.
No matter how old Tsukahara Bu Chuan is, he has carried the reputation of the Sword Saint for many years, how can he not have the strength? And he is so old, how can he still be teased by young people?
Tsukahara Buden was not in a hurry, but slowly took out the weapon, put it on his chest, and put on a mid-section posture that was no longer ordinary.
But although his movements were ordinary, as the katana was unsheathed, a chilling sword intent approached his opponent. As if he had already been pierced.
So the man could only raise the naginata to his chest and assume a defensive posture to counter the sword intent of Tsukahara Buden.
Then the man began to move his feet slowly, looking for loopholes in Tsukahara Buden, his steps were very light, and there was no sound when he landed, he was indeed a master, but no matter how he moved, the tip of Tsukahara Buden's sword was always pointed at him.
The sweat began to trickle down his face.
This is a real sword duel, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life.
He was swaying back and forth like this, and the audience next to him didn't do it.
For the uninitiated, what is expected is a wonderful matchup, not a contest of momentum. After watching it for a long time, they are all dangling around, and they will be unhappy.
"Fight, fight!" The audience who had no position next to them quit and began to shout, "I just bragged so much, why did I get instigated when I started it?" ”
Tsukahara Buchuan can resist the provocation of the other party, and he can stand the coaxing of the audience. No matter what the audience says, as long as he wins, he will still be a sword master, and if he loses, his lifelong wisdom will no longer exist. So he's still looking for a loophole for the other party, a loophole that would kill him.
But the big man on the other side couldn't stand it anymore. He is a person who likes to sensationalize, and challenging the Juggernaut is also an important gimmick he thinks. Once successful, his status from then on will be completely different.
As the audience cheered, his confidence blindly rose again.
"I'm younger than him, I'm stronger than him, I'm faster than him, and even my weapons are longer than him, what are you afraid of him?" He thought to himself.
So he stopped moving, but raised his naginata and slashed at Tsukahara Buden.
Tsukahara Buden waited for this opportunity.
At the moment of the opponent's attack, he stepped forward. Although this step was not big, it was as fast as lightning, and the opponent's knife seemed to be slashed into the air, slashing into the air.
And Tsukahara Buchuan's knife at this time has also been raised, and a flash of brilliance flashes, and Tsukahara Buden is already standing behind that person.
Tsukahara stood up straight, shook the blood off his sword, inserted it back into its scabbard, and strolled off the stage.
The people around him didn't know why, and they thought he was going to take the initiative to admit defeat. The staff next to him was also confused, and they didn't know what routine Mr. Sword Saint was playing.
Even the samurai with the naginata didn't know why, but he could still laugh and say, "Old fellow, you cut this sword empty, right?" Is this a towel? Then I'll be a sword from now on...... Saint...... ......"
Before his voice fell, something felt something was wrong with his body. It felt like I couldn't control my body. Slowly, a crack appeared on his body, and the whole thing was split in half diagonally from his shoulder to his ribs. Then the body fell to the ground with a bang, blood splattering out.
At this time, Tsukahara Buchuan had not stepped down yet.
"I don't like to talk nonsense with dead people." Tsukahara said, "You can prepare for the next game." ”
Gao Xianda was stunned by the side.
"Is this the strength of the Juggernaut?" Gao Xianda exclaimed. Now he began to doubt himself again, relying on his newly learned secret technique: Kasumi, and his own defensive ability, whether he could defeat Tsukahara Buden.
