"Lan En, the existence of immortal power is not an uncommon topic for the generals of Reed. My grandson, Genichiro, has been driven into hysteria by the growing power of the Inner Army. Even if it is a forbidden power, as long as he can hold the country of Reedina, he will not hesitate to use it. ”

"But there's no doubt that in the eyes of an old guy like me, who is almost in the ground, it's just the naïve disease of a little ghost. If there is already a living in the world, will there be no perishment? This is true of people, and so is the power. ”

"When the name of the reed should be gone, it will naturally be gone, and the mighty Inner Mansion is no exception. In order to grasp the afterimage of the past and die and not let go, it is ugly. ”

"But after all, my grandson has put the survival of the Ashina Province more than his own life. This is the result of my education, and I have no position to blame him. ”

"But Yamauchi-sama, I guess it's my aversion to the power of immortality. The conflict between the two of you is limited to this duel. It doesn't involve the rest of the ashigaru and samurai. After Lenn wins, he is free to come and go, and you must not stop him. ”

Yamauchi waited for a long time, but he didn't hear how he won.

So he looked up and asked Reed.

"What if I win?"

Yamauchi Norizen's speech stuck the reinmind of Reed's reminiscence.

After the thin old man pursed his lips, he smiled politely at the general and didn't say anything more.

How dare you think about it!

Also 'you win'.

Both sides of the duel had no opinion, so in the courtyard of the inner house of Hirata Sho, the samurai shogun dressed up in his current equipment.

A Tai knife, which was about 1.6 meters long, was pulled out of its scabbard by him before it began.

It can be seen that he is not the kind of swordsman who is proficient in [Reed Name Cross Slash], but he is a fierce general who applies [Reed Celebrity] to the battlefield.

Under the horn pocket is a Weng face, which is a facial armor specially made for the face of an old man. It is used to protect and deter the enemy.

Beneath Weng's face, Yamauchi's eyes were sharp and murderous.

He really wanted to kill this foreigner who was trying to weaken Ashina's strength.

But in contrast, Lan's knife was not unsheathed at his waist. His calm gaze was the same as it had been in the room.

Lan En is the kind of contestant who usually exudes a lot of emotions, but when he gets serious, he has no distractions.

Mentos made an estimate when Lan En came into contact with the information of Xianfeng Temple, and before this file was over, Lan En was estimated to have a straight ice cube face.

There's no one to referee, it's a death match. Swordsmen and samurai should not use the so-called referee's command as a signal to fight on the spot.

The moment the two stood still and looked at each other, the fight had already begun!

"Yellow-mouthed child! Let me serve the general of the reed, and the Yamauchi Norizen will cut you! ”

The 1.6-meter-long sword was originally used by samurai to fight on horseback, and it had a larger arc and better slashing performance than the sword used for foot combat.

Yamauchi Norizen relied on his reed celebrity physique that had absorbed the water of the source, and he could easily use a sword of this length when fighting on foot.

He dragged the blade behind him and leaned sideways towards Lan En with both hands in his hand.

This stance can hide part of the length of the blade from the enemy, as well as the concealment of the movement of the hand.

Although at the very beginning, both sides showed their weapons.

But in the fight, with the height, the angle of view, the light. The length of the blade is constantly changing in the subjective vision of people.

Unless the opponent's weapon is already familiar to you, you basically have to rely on the real-time observation of the fighter to grasp the distance every time the blades intersect.

If a person who hides the blade in this posture suppresses the opponent before he draws his sword, it can be said that he has already grasped the initiative in the battle.

The footsteps of Yamauchi Norizen are strong and powerful.

Moisturized by the water of the source, coupled with the acquired diligent body. Let his charge be furious and swift.

There was already a sound of tearing the air on the blade behind him.

That meant that his knife had already begun to move, but from Lan's point of view, he couldn't see the trajectory and length of the knife at all.

Flirting? Horizontal slash? Backhand turn spike?

There are many possibilities, so feel free to guess!

On the other side of Yamauchi's dining room, Lan En calmly touched the handle of the knife on his left waist with his right hand, which was placed at his side.

Under Weng's face, Yamauchi's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

He knew that if he didn't draw his sword before the war, he would either be looking for death or have a strange trick!

In just a few days, have you already practiced the [Reed Name Cross Slash] that can be called a stunt?

This talent is really enviable, but . Or die!

The general's arm has been raised to the chest, and this height must be a horizontal slash. Is it?

"Boom!" There was a sound of the nails colliding.

The blade of Yamauchi's sword was still behind him, and he raised the arm holding the sword to his chest to let his elbow go out!

This move is not the blade first at all, it is the physical technique first!

The extremely confusing sequence of this move made Lan En's eyes widen slightly.

However, there was a real difference in the speed of reaction between the two, and Lan En's hand that had originally held the hilt of the knife completed the turn halfway through, and directly pushed the opponent's elbow back with the back of the fist covering the armor.

And Yamauchi's elbow defeat didn't affect his follow-up moves at all, as if this person didn't expect the elbow to solve the enemy.

He is a general who operates on the battlefield, and those who count on physical skills on the battlefield are either sick in the brain or really awesome.

He clearly does not belong to any of them.

After the elbow strike, the blade behind him slashed sideways with a whistling sound of breaking through the air!

Physical art is not to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's confrontation.

In many swordsmanship, there are even sword moves that make the wielder deliberately wait, delay, and redundant.

Because most people rely on nerve reactions to withstand the fast pace of sword fighting, they rely more on muscle reactions.

And when the two sides are in a mess with fast fighting, deliberately slow down can make the enemy's muscles not adapt, creating a very large offensive gap.

And then with one blow.

This move of Yamauchi Norizen is the same as this kind of swordsmanship.

"I'll take your head!"

The general's eyes were fixed on Lan's neck without a throat guard or helmet.

Judging from the speed of his sword, this knife is not to say that it is a neck, even if it is a waist of an ordinary person without armor, it is also a knife in two!

However, it was precisely because Yamauchi Norizen had already focused entirely on Lan's unprotected side neck that he failed to notice the witcher's right hand, which was still not down.

"Wow !!"

The crisp sound of steel clashing sounded, and all those who practiced [Reed Celebrity] were extremely familiar with this crisp sound.

Because with the crisp sound, there are also sparks that burst into a circle.

Yamauchi's eyes flashed with a spark that he hadn't expected at all, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Is it [Den Carp]? But he doesn't have a knife in his hand, how can he make it a fist?! ”

When the eyeballs adapted to the abrupt bright spark, the general was stunned to find out.

A circle of sparks burst out just now, because of the collision between the blade and the opponent's steel armguard!

His stance became sluggish and stiff after the blow.

Like the look he made to Lan En's calm cat-eyed eyes.

"Use your fists to cast [Reed Celebrity]. Fake, right?! ”
