In the face of Ling Ze's sudden attack, Hikosai Kawagami was unable to adjust in time, just like when Gennosuke Hattori faced off against Zatoichi.

Gennosuke Hattori had already figured out how to crack Zatoichi's backhand slash, but Zatoichi was very witty and suddenly changed his backhand to a forehand, caught him off guard, and successfully killed him.

If this kind of thing were to be put in the present, it would be called "I predicted your prediction", and it directly raised the altitude to the atmosphere.

At this time, Kawagami Yanzhai did not have any preparations at all in the face of Ling Ze's operation in the "atmosphere" of changing his left hand to his right hand, and it was completely too late for him to change his sword posture at this time.

Kawagami Hikosai can only fight with all his strength to win the speed of this knife, whoever slashes first, who is more determined and confident, will be able to win the final victory.

In fact, these two people are very confident in themselves, so neither of them chose to retreat, and the current situation does not allow them to hesitate at all.

Before Ling Ze's knife could come over, Kawagami successfully drew his knife, and the knife in his hand slashed towards Ling Ze from the bottom up.

And Ling Ze's backhand knife had already been without hesitation, slashing towards the head of Heshang Yanzhai, who was almost squatting on the ground.

Without considering what special abilities are blessed, the side that is definitely "faster, stronger, and more determined" in the sword duel has an absolute advantage.

Even if the difference in strength is not so obvious, as long as you can take the first step every time, the victory or defeat will gradually become clear after a few swords.

However, the duel between Ling Ze and Kawagami Hikosai was not so troublesome, and it did not mean to last longer than anyone.

Because both of them are pursuing the path of "fast, accurate, and ruthless", and Ling Ze also chose a hard-fought duel with Kawashang Yanzhai, his long-planned and powerful knife slashed at the knife that Kawashang Yanzhai slashed over.

The decision made by Kawagami Hikosai in a hurry was very correct, there was no need for Ling Ze to risk the possibility of being disemboweled, and he would exchange this knife with Kawagami Hikosai, so he would definitely change the target of the attack, from slashing people to machetes.

As for other possibilities, Kawagami Hikosai didn't bother to think about it for a while, and it was not easy for him to make such a decision.

"Click!"

Ling Ze found a knife at an angle, and directly broke the knife of Heshang Yanzhai into a small gap, but this was not the end, Ling Ze was unforgiving, and continued to press Heshang Yanzhai and slammed it, and the knife slashed towards that gap.

Because of his posture, Kawagami Hikosai failed to pull out the knife and slash, and he was already at a disadvantage, and he could only parry it with difficulty at this time.

Kawagami Hikosai is a real person who relies on Iai's sword to eat, and once he does not gain an advantage in the battle and falls into an entangled and chaotic battle, his shortcomings will be exposed.

"Click!"

Another knife cut, Ling Ze finally cut off the knife of Heshang Yanzhai, although it is always said that the knife is easy to break, but the knife made by the cladding steel method, how can it be so easy to break?

The thickness of the Japanese samurai sword is generally about 5-7 mm, and the thickness of the whole knife is gradually changing, 7 mm near the root of the handle, 6 mm in the middle of the blade, 5 mm at the tip, and about 3 cm wide.

Most of the knives are about 1 meter long, although they look very slender, but in fact they are thick and strong, full of weight, and if you want to cut them in normal use, it is actually very difficult and difficult, and it is not for nothing that some masters only use a knife in their lives.

Of course, just as swordsmanship is not used to compete whether a man is durable, the purpose of most weapons is not to cut off other people's weapons, but to kill people.

"The skills are not as good as others, and they are willing to bow to the wind, and Zatoichi really lives up to its reputation."

Seeing Ling Ze put the knife into the sheath, and he had been kneeling on the ground due to a series of blows, his face was slightly embarrassed, but he still readily admitted the fact that he was defeated.

Losing in a battle is not an unacceptable thing for Kawagami Hikosai, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is commonplace.

But it was all a contest with a bamboo sword, and in a real battle with a real sword, Kawagami never lost to anyone, after all, he was still alive, but his opponents were all dead.

This such a crisp defeat was still quite a blow to Hikosai Kawagami, and this defeat shattered his strong self-confidence that he had always had, which may affect his mentality in the future.

But at the same time, this failure also made him realize that his strength is still insufficient, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, and it is still inconclusive whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Kawagami Hikosai.

But this is a really good thing for Ling Ze, because his [swordsmanship] task has finally been settled.

“

The quest [Swordsmanship still needs to be honed] has been completed.

[Requirements: Defeat powerful swordsmen from five different schools of swordsmanship.] 】

[Reward: One Emperor Enhancement Card.] 】

Completed the hidden quest [You fell before I could give it my all].

[Optional Reward 1: A Digu Unlock Card.]

Optional Reward 2: Two World Travel Cards.

Optional Reward 3: A Divine Enhancement Card. 】

Do you want to claim your mission rewards right away?

”

Looking at the three reward options for the hidden mission, Ling Ze didn't hesitate to do anything, and decisively chose the first reward option [Emperor Unlock Card].

[World Crossing Card] Now Ling Ze has a stock in his hand, whether he wants to leave this world or return to "Slash! The world of Crimson Pupil Zero is enough.

If you need it again in the future, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get it, after all, according to the current mission reward probability, the [World Crossing Card] is undoubtedly the one that appears the most.

As for the [Emperor Enhancement Card], before figuring out the specific effects and conditions of use of this card, Ling Ze did not intend to bet his precious reward opportunities on its effects.

Judging from the previous card use effect, the [Emperor Unlock Card] and [Energy Enhancement Card] have improved his current strength the most, and more Emperor Tools and more Energy have at least given him the possibility of going to a higher intensity world to become stronger.

"There are still a few knives on the ground, and although you may not be able to use them well, a samurai walking outside will not work without a sword."

Ling Ze didn't feel guilty at all that he had cut off the other party's knife, and he reminded Kawagami Hikosai, who had stood up again.

"By the way, if you're going to find Miyabe Dingzang, I suggest you'd better hurry up, otherwise you'll be late and you'll probably have to collect his body."

Because Kawagami Hikosai suddenly appeared to help him complete the task, Ling Ze kindly reminded this quite loyal "person beheading", as for whether he can catch up and what impact it will have on the "Ikedaya Incident", it is not under Ling Ze's control.
