Chapter Eighty-Four
When the four masters of today's decisive battle walked into the arena, almost everyone in the audience stood up and applauded them. These four masters represent the strongest level of the current Higashi-Rishima kendo group and are role models in the hearts of every martial arts enthusiast.
There were people in the crowd constantly chanting the names of the heroes in their hearts, and surprisingly, Shi Ziling, the new gate master of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate", was called by everyone the most.
After all, he is the only master in history to reach the semi-finals of both tournaments at the same time, which is a huge honor in itself. And he has always been a one-trick opponent in the promotion process, and he did not hurt the opponent's life, which made him even more noticed by everyone.
Yesterday, Shi Ziling's blatant declaration of war against the Yan Ming Sect also won him the favor of many people. Although the evil deeds of the Yan Sect in the past few years have been hidden, there are still some clues that have fallen in the eyes of others, but these people are afraid of the strength of the Yan Sect and dare not speak.
Shi Ziling dared to directly expose the evil deeds of the Yan Sect and openly declared war on the Yan Sect, so he naturally became the object of these people's admiration.
Of the other three who walked into the tournament with Shi Ziling, only Iga Ryu's Iga Rantaro was a little dissatisfied.
Iga Rantaro was the first place in the kendo group of the last tournament, and this person thinks very highly of himself, and this tournament is still a one-move victory in every battle, and the opponent in every battle is killed by him on the spot. He thought that his momentum was unmatched for a while, but he didn't expect that Shi Ziling, the new master of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate", would be more sought after than him.
Although the "Dead Night Gate" has always been a first-class sect on Dongli Island, it has never been known for its kendo, but for its strange soul dementors. Unexpectedly, Shi Ziling, the new master of the new gate, actually reached the top four in one fell swoop this time, and he never got his sword out of the sheath, and he achieved the current point with the scabbard alone.
Iga Rantaro had also secretly observed several duels in Shiziling, and saw that he was just a strange and fast victory. In Iga Rantaro's eyes, although Shi Ziling's "shapeshifting" technique is mysterious, it is not much of a threat to a master of his level, and he can only bully and bully those mediocre hands.
As for Shi Ziling's swordsmanship, it is even more mediocre, although his sword has never been drawn out in the scabbard, but the swordsmanship is still clear. Such a bland swordsmanship can also enter the semi-finals, which makes Iga Rantaro feel quite unhappy, and he can only sigh that the opponent he met when Shi Ziling advanced all the way is too bad, and his luck is really good.
At this moment, when the top four masters entered the competition arena at the same time, Shi Ziling received significantly more cheers, which made Iga Rantaro feel a little unhappy, and couldn't help but mock:
"Master Shimen, you see that the representatives of so many sects are optimistic about you, it seems that you have the highest call for winning the championship in this conference. I heard that your sword has not been unsheathed so far, I wonder if Lu Dao will make an exception for a few of us today?"
Shi Ziling heard that his tone was not good, but he didn't care, and said: "The three of them are all masters of swordsmanship, and I think it will be difficult not to draw a sword." However, I did not draw my sword because I despised my opponent, but because I knew that my swordsmanship was not yet perfect, and the fire in the kendo was still lacking. I'm afraid that if I can't hold my hand, I will hurt the other party, so try to use the scabbard to make moves. ”
Iga Rantaro said: "In this way, as long as you draw your sword, the opponent will definitely die, as long as you draw your sword, the martial arts arena is originally a sword and sword, and the death and injury are safe and destiny, you are so benevolent and generous, why do you practice swords?"
Shi Ziling replied indifferently: "I personally do hope that there will not be so many casualties in the martial arts competition, after all, there is only one life, and it is better to learn martial arts as much as possible." If every contest ends with killing the other party, it will become a 'killing ** battle'. ”
Iga Rantaro was the player who killed the most people since the start of this tournament, and one person died at his hands in every game.
He said angrily: "The sword is originally used to kill, and the way of the sword is originally the way to kill. Those who practice swords don't dare to kill people, so what's the use of you practicing swordsmanship? Why don't you go and learn embroidery! There are many women in your 'Dead and Evil Night Gate', and if the master of the stone gate wants to learn embroidery, someone will definitely be willing to teach it, Ha Lu Ha ......."
Shi Ziling shook his head, although Iga Rantaro was aggressive, he didn't want to argue more, this is because everyone has a different understanding of martial arts, everyone has their own opinions, and Shi Ziling knows that it is useless even if he argues.
Guiguzi and Liu Shengquan next to him saw that these two people were arguing, but they were reluctant to join in. The two of them were the second and third places in the kendo group of the last conference, and after ten years of hard training, they were ready to go further in this year's martial arts competition, and they were not interested in the battle of words between the two, just thinking about how to defeat the enemy after a while.
Seeing that Shi Ziling was silent, Iga Rantaro thought that he knew that he was wrong, and said: "The Lord of the Stone Gate is so benevolent and righteous, if we have a chance to fight, I wonder if you will still use your scabbard against me?"
Shi Ziling sighed lightly and said, "Of course, I hope that I can continue to use the scabbard to learn from Mr. Iga, but Mr. Iga's swordsmanship is aggressive, and I am only afraid that I will not be able to help myself." ”
Iga Rantaro raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask about the meaning of Shi Ziling's words, when a master of ceremonies came up to greet them, divided them into two groups, and competed on two fields at the same time.
Iga Rantaro saw that Shiziling had turned around and left with Yanagi Quan, so he no longer entangled. It is expected that as long as they both win, they will naturally have the opportunity to face each other again. If Shi Ziling loses to Liu Shengquan, then naturally he is not worthy of talking more about himself.
Shi Ziling and Liu Shengquan came to the designated venue and stood up, and before the fight started, the audience had already applauded. Although the two duels were fought at the same time, more than half of the representatives of the various sects in the entire martial arts arena flocked to their side to watch the duel between Shi Ziling and Liu Shengquan.
Whether Shi Ziling will continue to defeat the enemy with one move, whether he will draw his sword, and whether he will hurt people are all topics of great interest to everyone. Although Iga Rantaro was the first place in the last edition, he should be sure to win against the third place in the previous edition, Guiguzi, so there are not many people who are interested in the duel between them.
Kirithara Xiang and Baihua Nana led a large group of female disciples and some of the brothers of the Triple Society to seize a favorable position on the edge of the Shiziling martial arts competition early, and these disciples were very excited to see that the two duels were about to start with the gong.
The two brothers, Kirihara Fang and Kirihara Masa, are naturally a delicious braised chicken leg in their hands, and they chatted happily while gnawing. Kirihara said: "Tonight's two duels are the masters of the masters, although the master of the door is powerful, probably won't be able to defeat the enemy with one move, right?"
Kirihara said: "That's not necessarily, but I think his icebreaker sword will be pulled out and unveiled." I always hit people with the scabbard, I always think it's a little strange. ”
Kirihara said: "Actually, I've always thought that the master of the door must use a sword for something? Isn't his kung fu at throwing silver coins very good? Isn't it very good to reward the opponent with a silver coin every game, the silver coin flies out, and the opponent falls! It is indeed a little unsightly to always use the scabbard to knock on the opponent's body. ”
Kirihara Xiang said angrily: "You two are starting to talk nonsense again, aren't they? This is a kendo competition, not a hidden weapon competition, what kind of silver coins can you throw, you can figure it out! Why don't you say throw a braised chicken leg over?"
"That's fine. ”
The two Kirihara brothers said almost in unison.
In their hearts, the braised chicken leg in their hands is also an excellent weapon to save their lives, and its power is no less than that of any kind of hidden weapon. In the alleys of the northern suburbs of Edo Castle before, if it hadn't been for the braised chicken leg in his hand that flew out in time and hit the two masters of the Bamboo Union Gang, maybe the two of them would have died now.
