Chapter Twenty-Four: The Unexpected Challenger
After a harmonious and happy consultation, the two of Bai Fenggu and Komuro Takashi both achieved their goals, looked at each other with a satisfied smile, and were about to return to the living room.
However, at this time, Komuro Takashi suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and said with some embarrassment: "Both, I'm afraid that those experimental materials can't be given to you for the time being." ”
Bai Fenggu frowned, and looked at the leader of the rebel army with some displeasure, it turned out that after the young boy became the leader of the "aircraft carrier", he had already learned to play with this method, and he also made a look like he had just remembered, obviously premeditated.
And although Huangfu Qingqing was also a little dissatisfied, he still asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”
Komuro Takashi said, "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you. You don't know that there are two of you in the base now, and there are two of your companions. Last night, they took the soldiers I sent to ambush them and took the initiative to find this base. ”
As he spoke, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of Komuro's mouth, "Tsuko, what do you guess is the purpose of their base?" ”
Poison Island Tsuneko was inexplicable, so he could only let out a chuckle, revealing a gentle smile that he would never show in the battle, "How do I know, filial piety, you don't want to sell Guanzi, just say it." ”
"The two of them claim to be swordsmen from a foreign land, and the purpose of this place is to challenge you! If you win, they will voluntarily abandon their agreement with the lab and no longer help the lab against us. And if they win, they want all our experimental data. ”
After hearing this, Poison Island Yanzi smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but turned to Bai Fenggu and Huangfu Qingqing, and asked, "In your hometown, is there also such a real swordsman who challenges everywhere and sharpens himself?" ”
Bai Fenggu smiled heartily, his eyes flashing with a hint of surging and firmness, "The Heroic Battlefield has gathered countless Heavenly Pride of Planes, among them there are all kinds of geniuses and elites, and they can be called master-level existences in the fields they are good at. It is not surprising that real swordsmen are there, and only those who can never stop moving forward until the moment they step on the clouds can they be said to be true heroes! ”
While speaking, mentioning the real swordsman, Bai Fenggu couldn't help but think of the two men in white and sword clothes he saw at the Franken Institute, and subconsciously thought that the so-called challengers were probably the two of them.
Poison Island Tsuneko nodded thoughtfully, a trace of longing and regret flashed in his eyes, as for the challenge from the reincarnated person, he naturally met it fearlessly.
For this kind of challenge from different kendo schools, either for the exchange of pure kendo, or for the sake of stepping on the failure of the challenged person to rise to fame, since the beginning of his sensibility, Poison Island Tsuneko has seen too much, but at that time, the people who represented Poison Island Ryu Kendo faced the father who would never fail in his memory.
Now, as the inheritor of the Poison Island Ryu Kendo, he has to replace his father, who is not in Japan, to meet this first challenge in his life.
Excited, excited, trembling, all kinds of emotions brewing in his heart, Poison Island Tsuneko suddenly bloomed with a smile as bright as sunshine, "Right now, tell those two challengers that I'll wait for them in the dojo." ”
As he spoke, Poison Island Tsuneko left first and walked in the direction of the dojo.
Turning the corner, the surging killing intent generated by Gao Xiang in the heart lake of the poison island raised rolling waves, and the hoarse murmur was faint, echoing in the uninhabited corridor, "I just want to kill someone." I hope your kendo won't disappoint me. ”
Half an hour later, the two reincarnators of Shiramaple Valley and Huangfu Qingqing, as well as the heads of the "aircraft carriers" such as Komuro Taka, Minami Rika, and Miyamoto Rei, all came to the vast dojo and sat quietly in the simplely arranged venue, waiting for the arrival of the challenger.
"Click~click~click~click~"
Almost in the same rhythm, the two reincarnated beings who came to challenge opened the door of the dojo and walked in with a calm and solemn attitude.
Both of them are dressed in white, wearing long swords at their waists, dressed as ancient swordsmen. The leader of the person looked at the same age as Bai Fenggu, and there was a faint sharp aura in his eyes, but he was well disguised by it, like a divine sword that had not yet been unsheathed, with a restrained edge, and one day when he drew his sword, it would be cold to the bone, and a sword would be frosty and cold in the fourteen states.
The man next to him was a little older, about the age of his life, with shoulder-length hair that was free and casual, but his face was extremely cold, like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years, and no one knew what was frozen in the blue ice and snow.
Perhaps, it is the extreme sword.
Perhaps, it is extremely affectionate.
The cold man who did not reveal his name when they met before walked directly to the viewing seat on the east side and sat opposite Bai Fenggu and the others.
And in my impression, it should be a young man called Feng Chan, who knelt opposite the poison island and took the lead in speaking, like a sharp long sword, "Feng Chan came to ask for advice on the sword of the poison island, and I hope to give me advice." ”
Poison Island Tsuneko has changed her outfit at this time, the bangs on her forehead are shallow above her eyebrows, her waist-length hair is soft and draped like a waterfall, and two strands of long hair are parted from her forehead, hanging down to her waist along the fullness of her chest, and the blue-purple kimono is worn on her body, like an elegant and quiet violet, blooming silently, waiting quietly.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a hidden edge of a katana that killed countless people diagonally around her waist, looking at this woman with serene eyes, who would have thought that she was not a wife who was silently waiting for her husband's return?
But among the people present, the leaders of the "aircraft carrier" side get along with Poison Island Tsuneko day and night, and have long been aware of the killing hidden under the calm of their partner**; Before Huangfu Qingqing was reincarnated, he had been on the verge of life and death for many years, and he was extremely sensitive to crises; The two who came to challenge felt a hint of edge faintly revealed by each other through a unique sense between swordsmen.
Even Bai Fenggu, who is like a little white for fighting, is intuitively aware of the turbulent undercurrent hidden under the calm and peaceful surface of Poison Island with his natural spiritual power.
On the field, Feng Chan had already started the prelude to this sword duel in a solemn and pious tone, only to see him put his sword horizontally in front of him, and then slowly pulled it out, Leng Sensen's sword qi immediately came imminently, and the flashing sword light was actually turquoise.
"Wind Zen, holding the sword green willow, conveying the sword method at home, the seven seven and forty-nine hands passed by the Bashan Gu Taoist return to the wind and dancing willow sword, ask your Excellency to teach you the high moves."
In the face of this extremely formal request, Poison Island Tsuneko, who was sitting opposite him, unexpectedly did not immediately respond according to the agreed etiquette, but instead looked at the cold man on the east side of the watch seat with his eyes closed and speechless, and said in a surprising voice: "I originally thought that it would be this gentleman who challenged me. ”
Feng Zen was silent, and on the viewing seat, the cold man also opened his eyes, and suddenly there was electricity in the void, and there seemed to be white light across the dojo, fleeting.
His eyes were as sharp as swords, and the cold man stared at Poison Island with burning eyes, as if he was about to pull out the black sheath long sword on his waist that contrasted sharply with the snow-white clothes on his body in the next moment, and invited him to fight, but in the end, he still closed his eyes quietly, as if he was outside the entire dojo, fluttering like a cold plum in the snow, Ling Han opened it alone.
Feng Chan explained: "This friend of mine, named Ximen Fuxue, is a peerless swordsman. I made a pact with him to explore the infinite plane together, and the two of us took turns to challenge the kendo masters on the road to hone their kendo. Unfortunately, Brother Ximen had already fought with the swordsman Wang Yue in the Three Kingdoms Plane before. ”
The implication of the words is self-evident that this challenge will only take place between Fengzen and Poison Island Tsumiko, even if she has a strong interest in Ximen Fuxue.
The atmosphere was cold and silent for a while, Feng Chan's eyes moved slightly, and he said something that pointed directly to the hearts of the people.
"Brother Simon, like you, has practiced the swordsmanship of killing, enjoying the grand scene of a sword piercing the throat of the enemy, watching the blood bloom under the sword, and admiring the brilliant splendor of that moment, which is incomparable to nothing in the world. However, when you blow off the blood on your sword, your eyes are not filled with the joy and excitement of victory, but with indescribable helplessness and sorrow. You are not people who despise life. ”
"In this sense, Brother Simon is your true confidant, and he is the one who should challenge you."
"However, the agreement cannot be broken."
Feng Chan's words paused slightly, and his eyes once again showed the firmness of sincerity in the sword, "Feng Chan, holding the sword and green willow, conveying the sword method at home, the seven seven and forty-nine hands passed down by the Bashan Gu Taoist returned to the wind and danced the willow sword, and asked Your Excellency to teach you the best moves." ”
Poison Island Tsuneko seemed to feel the firmness and persistence of Feng Zen, or Feng Zen's mental analysis resonated deeply with her, and the treasure knife named Murata on her waist was already horizontal in front of her at some point, and a cold front came out of the sheath, and the cold light was clear.
"Poison Island Tsuneko, Sabre Murata, on behalf of Poison Island Ryu Kendo, accept your challenge."
The loud words reverberated back and forth in the empty dojo, and everyone on the field was all wrapped up in the atmosphere at this time, their expressions were silent, staring intently at Fengzen and Poison Island's every move.
