Chapter 220: Confrontation
The swordsmen are also quite particular about duels, and they always need all the situations as an auxiliary to be able to pile up emotions and fighting spirit enough.
The swordsman duel is either on the rocks where the waves crash on the shore, or in the red land where the maple leaves are scattered, or in the snow-capped hundred miles of snow, or in the quiet kendo arena.
The ridge next to the river is very empty, and there is nothing to block the view, so it is clear at a glance.
They had stopped at a stone bridge, about ten meters long and five meters wide, on top of the river, with the rushing and turbid water below.
Amamiya Masahiro's 'sight' was directly in front of her, and the young man gave her the feeling that she didn't look like a person at all, but like a fierce tiger.
It's not a hungry tiger coming down the mountain, but a young and strong tiger that is growing up, and doesn't know how sharp its fangs are.
Its fighting spirit is high.
And in the perception of Okita Soji, this blind girl is also very dangerous, she gives people a more ethereal and ethereal feeling, just like the rumored monster of Momijika, beautiful and gorgeously dressed, but it is an out-and-out ogre, with a smile and a smile, every move, there is enough danger to kill.
Can't see through the other party's intentions, this is an opponent he has never seen before.
The two of them stood on the bridge, and the flowing river below and the bridge standing quietly formed a wonderful picture, with the bridge deck as the dividing line to maintain tranquility, but under this quiet, there is a turbulent river, the waves crashing on the riverbank, the waves rolling, just like the emotions squeezed in the hearts of the two swordsmen, only to be lit up by a thunderclap.
Before the sword light erupted, the wind seemed so depressing.
So in this sweaty, breathless, and heartbeat waiting, even God couldn't stand it, and finally made a shock.
With a roar, the thunder that tore through the sky illuminated the heavens and the earth for a moment, as if it were day.
The command sounded, and the owners of the two knives also burst out with unprecedented speed, their clothes were pulled by the strong wind pressure, the sleeves and feathers were hunting, and the clothes in the front were clinging to their skin, and it was so fast that it was difficult to tell who was superior.
From Bai Yu's point of view, there is no doubt that the genius swordsman Okita Soji of the Trial Guard Hall is a little faster, and it is not his sword that is faster, but his people.
Footwork and shrinkage.
The boy's body seemed to lose its weight in that moment, and there were no signs of cracking on the ground, but he himself ejected like a loaded spring...... This is undoubtedly an extremely high-end footwork.
Bai Yu subconsciously turned on his extraordinary skills, trying to see through the melody on the other party and reproduce this unique tune.
Two knives collided on the bridge dizzyingly, and more than one.
Neither side is a swordsman who is known for their physical strength, so they don't choose to bet all their strength on the first sword, and it's good to break ten thousand methods with one force, but it's a pity that they can't learn it.
The cross slash was on the upper and lower sections, and the two of them couldn't bargain, and the moment the sword light staggered, they also changed positions with each other.
Between the sleeves of the two sides, they changed positions twice in a row, and when they were separated again, the weapons in the hands of the two were actually reversed.
From Bai Yu's point of view, he hadn't been able to see everything that was going on, because his attention was on Okita's legs.
Amamiya Masahiro knew very well what she had done, and she was also aware of the other party's counterattack means, at first she hooked Okita Soji's arm and dragged the distance violently, trying to suppress the opponent's speed by locking his body, but Okita Soji also reacted quickly, and at the same time as his arm was caught, he had already produced a reverse grip weapon, so that the sword would cling to his forearm and become a weapon that could be killed at short distances.
Before slashing Amamiya Masahiro, she cut off the offensive route, and the two sides continued to fight, this time trying to buckle the wrist joint, and both of them finally completed an extremely thrilling close-range snatch, which can be said to be a big gain, but at the same time, they also lost their own saber.
Amamiya Masahiro waved California Kiyomitsu uncomfortably, this knife is too heavy.
"Do you want to get it back?" Mr. Okita asked politely.
"Okay." She agreed, too.
Both sides threw their knives at the same time, alternating in the air, and before the blades hit the ground, they were already chasing after them and attacking again.
This time the attack on Amamiya Maki was still the most familiar offensive posture, but the next moment the intuition took effect, she immediately reversed the path of the sword, avoiding the opponent's direct attack on the vital point, and her heart was shocked...... It was only used once and it was seen through?
She opened the eye of heaven and used all her energy to track the trajectory of the opponent's sword, and it was cut off twice with precision, and at this time, her sword was in the middle defensive position, so she took a heavy step and exerted her strength.
When he reached the knife, Amamiya Masahiro noticed that the opponent's strength was obviously insufficient...... Come to think of it, the other party is not tall, although the speed is amazing, but the strength is still inferior to hers.
In Fuso, which is generally short-legged, Amamiya Masa's height of almost 1.7 meters is considered tall for both men and women, which also means that she has a few kilograms of muscles more than ordinary people of 1.65 meters.
Okita Soji decisively did not bear the sword counterpressure, he knew very well that his strength was in swordsmanship, decisively pulled the distance back, slid sideways, stepped on the stone bridge guardrail, and turned back again, like a catapult tennis ball, this magical footwork and exquisite power control, so that his legs are like springs, do not need to spend too much physical energy, but can maintain an amazing speed throughout.
Amamiya Masahiro's shoulders were red, and at the same time as this bright red bloomed, she also directly threw out the fast rain knife, and the blade flew up in mid-air, almost grazing the tip of Okita's nose.
Soji Okita had to lower his body and lean back, almost sliding his back and knees against the ground to avoid the throwing knife this time.
What Amamiya was waiting for was when his speed slowed down, and he decisively held the opponent's wrist, and borrowed the force to be an over-the-shoulder fall.
New Yin Flow: No Knife Take!
The founder of Yanagi Zongyan as a swordsman often does not travel with a sword, and he can defeat the sword in the face of the sword-wielder, showing his mental realm as a swordsman but not to hone his swordsmanship with murder.
In the training of the Dragon Vein Realm, Amamiya Masahiro has also learned many fighting skills that he didn't know before, and there are also a lot of hand-to-hand fighting skills in the Heavenly True Incense Channel...... In particular, she learned the essence of the trick of taking no knife, so Okita Soji couldn't react.
The genius swordsman had never been taken from his weapon so far, he was too fast, and the knife was dangerous, who would dare to take such a risk to come up and take the sword?
So when he was thrown to the ground without a knife, California Qingguang was almost taken away.
The reason why she couldn't take it away was also very simple, because Amamiya Masatsu was stunned for a moment, she just seemed to have touched something, so that she was slow to react, and she couldn't immediately clasp the other party's finger to let him let go of the sword.
Soji Okita kicked the ground, slid out like a loach, and slapping the ground and bouncing was a jump split.
Amamiya Masahiro drew his knife to fight back, and the ground of the bridge suddenly rose and fell.
Okita Soji didn't understand, she lost her weapon just now, and she failed to grab the sword, where did she come from?
Amamiya Masahiro naturally didn't answer, and tried to repeat the old trick, throwing the weapon again, and the rain knife flew quickly.
Soji Okita will not be fooled again, so he decisively pulls away and slashes the blade on the ground, as if he is using a pole vault, so eclectic with his sword fully shows his flexible and changeable sword path.
At the same time, the boy also saw clearly how Amamiya Masaki retrieved the sword.
It's not so much to take it back, it's better to say that it flew back on its own.
The knife spun from the right hand side to the left hand side, and from the left hand to the right hand.
Off-hand knife + back turning tool.
Okita Soji said strangely: "How did you learn the swordsmanship that you haven't seen before?" ”
In the eyes of the Fuso swordsman, the hand-leaving knife is completely rebellious...... How could a sword leave the arm and fly around?
Even when they reached the Transcendent Third Order and the Transcendent Fourth Order, they still slashed with one move and one style, and they would not think about letting the sword fly out on its own to take people's heads.
But Amamiya Masahiro is different, her hand-leaving knife is a new move that she learned from the Dragon Vein Realm.
It's taboo to let the weapon get out of her hands, especially at the lower grades, so the timing of the use of the knife is very strict, she just uses it as a kind of trick, and she doesn't expect to use it to kill the enemy.
"Great Xia's swordsmanship, haven't you seen it?" Amamiya Zhentian said indifferently: "Three thousand swords, swinging swords like rain, flying swords for thousands of miles, taking people's heads, Fang is the best swordsmanship." ”
She could hear a bit of sarcasm and pride in her words, as if she was despising the other party for being a hillbilly.
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh...... Jingxia is unacceptable.
Okita Soji's attitude was disapproving: "Swordsmanship is just a trick to kill, how can there be any difference between superior and lowly?" ”
Amamiya was speechless for a while, she was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "Maybe you're right...... In your hands and me, the sword is just a weapon to kill, and the existence of skill is used to fight...... As long as Fusang's world is still like this, perhaps no matter what, the knife will not be put away, and it will always kill people. ”
Soji Okita narrowed his eyes: "It's different from other murderers, they either scream loudly about their hysteria of what grievances they have expressed; Either to indulge in power, or to compete for profit...... But you're always calm, you're different from them, and you insist on saying ......"
He thought for a moment and pointed to himself, "It's a little similar to me." ”
"You?" Amamiya asked.
"I like swordsmanship, but I don't like killing people very much, but there is no way, the duty of the Shinsengumi is to guard the safety of one side, so I have to be ruthless."
Soji Okita said as if to himself: "Actually, I don't care about the shogunate, the Yin and Yang family, or anything, and I don't understand that, I care...... It's just Kondo bosses them; That's my happiness. ”
"What about you?"
"What is your happiness? And for what is the sword swinging? ”
Listening to the words of the executioner in front of him, who had killed nearly a hundred people but could maintain an innocent smile, Amamiya Masahiro was silent for a moment and whispered, "It seems that you will not let me go." ”
"Of course, it's the duty." Soji Okita smiled sweetly.
Amamiya Masahiro's fingers stroked the blade of the knife and said, "It turns out that I will live a little easier than you, at least I don't have to hide anything." ”
"A woman can't be a samurai."
"Isn't it going to be hard for you to live like this?"
Okita Soji knew that his identity was recognized, but he didn't panic, he stretched out his hand and tore off the loose white bandage from Haori, she exhaled: "Actually, I'm used to it, in addition to being tighter, it's not difficult to hide my identity, and everyone is covering for me." ”
"It's a pity, if it weren't for this identity, maybe we would be friends." Amamiya picked up the scabbard, a little regretful that he didn't know whether it was true or not.
"It's never too late to be friends." Soji Okita's smile is still innocent.
"Obviously about to fight until one side falls?"
"Hmm!" She nodded earnestly, not at all like a joke.
"Are you crazy?" Amamiya Masahiro let out a mouthful of white mist.
"Hahaha, people often say that, but I'm serious...... This is the samurai and the swordsman, so we should live honestly and honestly every moment! ”
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
Both sides were accumulating, waiting for the moment when the flames burst out.
Soji Okita had already taken off his shoes, and two small white feet stepped on the stone bridge.
Her gesture of raising hands made Bai Yu on the spectator feel inexplicably familiar.
Boom——! Another thunderclap fell.
The thunder was at an incomparably close distance, and it fell on the side of the river, and the whole river was passed by electricity, and in an instant the surface of the river was clear white.
The two knives are intertwined, like immortals clashing on the galaxy.
