32 True Sword (to be added later)
This son is arrogant!
Ono Tadazen roared angrily in his heart, but his expression still maintained the indifference of a top master of the ninth rank, he smiled slightly and stood up from his kneeling position.
As soon as he raised his hand, several people stepped forward to put on protective gear for him, and then one person walked out of the back hall, holding a sheathed cherry blossom knife in both hands and offering it to him with both hands.
Ono Tadazen held the scabbard in his left hand and picked it up, and smiled at Qi Lone: "Your Excellency Qi Lone, this knife is called "Bottle Cut", it is a treasure knife handed down by the great sword Haute Ito Ichito, in ancient times, it can be called a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, but today, in front of high-tech materials and smelting technology, it is just a slightly sharper good knife. β
Qi Lin looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he wanted to say.
Ono Tadazen quickly stated his purpose: "I wonder if you mind if the two sides use real swords to duel?" β
Real sword duel?
The Shangquan brothers and sisters behind Qi Lin and the audience were stunned, the real sword refers to the weapon that opened the front?
Qi Lin smiled slightly: "Give me a reason." β
Ono Tadashi stroked the knife in his hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "According to the old law of the Sakura Kingdom, in the face of the kicker, the dojo can put forward a real knife duel request, in order to show the determination of both sides to die, but now because the society is becoming more and more civilized, it is rare to see the kicking of the hall again, and this rule has not been implemented for many years." β
As he was talking, he raised his head sharply and glared at Qi Lin angrily: "Since Your Excellency Qi Lin broke the unspoken rules and had the courage to kick the hall, do you dare to try it with a real knife!" β
Qi Lin looked at the other party's old man's undying momentum, and instantly understood the opponent's intentions - the real knife tried to match, and after signing the agreement, he was conceited!
All right!
Qi Lin showed a wild smile like a wolf, and then nodded fiercely: "Just what I want!" β
There was an uproar among those present.
In Sakura Country, influenced by the spirit of bushido from ancient times to the present day, the Cabinet has enacted many amazing laws on the national sport of kendo, which is enough to amaze other countries.
One of them is the cherry blossom area, where "real sword duels" are allowed in kendo circles.
As long as it is determined that both parties are masters of the seventh dan or higher who have practiced kendo, and meet the prescribed reasons for dueling, and sign an agreement in public witness, a real sword duel can be conducted.
Among them, the life-and-death feud involving the dignity of the genre is one of the most standard reasons for dueling.
However, the bloody and barbaric act of real sword duel has rarely happened publicly since Sakura itself entered the high-speed development of modern society.
Now, because of Qi Lian's kicking behavior this time, he has appeared in front of the public again!
The Sakura Country media present were all excited, and various flashes were lit up continuously, recording the confrontation between Qi Lin and Ono Tadazen.
The Daxia villagers behind Qi Lin were even more dumbfounded, and in the live broadcast room that had been open, the barrage was even more chaotic.
γit!γ Real knife duel! Is Sakura so wild? γ
[Don't accept it, that Ono Tadashi is a top master of the ninth rank, and he wants a real sword duel to take the opportunity to abolish you! ] γ
[, don't scare me in front! ] It's really possible for Sakura to do this! γ
[Phew!] Nine paragraphs play eight paragraphs, it's really shameless, Qi Bao, let's stop playing, go home! γ
[That's right!] Qi Bao, let's stop playing! Don't blame you! γ
Ono Tadazen's face was serious, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency Qi Lian, presumably you didn't bring a real sword, we have other good knives in our dojo, if you don't mind, you can use them." β
Qi Lin shook his head: "I'm not used to your kind of knife, wait for me for half an hour, I'll have someone send the knife over." β
Ono Tadazen sneered: "Then wait for you for half an hour, if it's not enough, there is old time, and you can wait for you all day." β
Obviously, he felt that Qi Lin was delaying time and trying to find a way, and most of Qi Lian's retreats were blocked with one sentence.
Qi Lin didn't care, and asked Shangquan Yiren to contact his father, and immediately arranged for someone to send the weapon he wanted.
Then, he calmly sat down cross-legged, his right hand resting on his right leg with his knee erect, and looked at the people of the Ono faction with a smile.
Qi Lian's fearless attitude made Ono Tadazen, who was originally confident, suspicious.
On the other side, in the Xuanwu Hall of the Beichen Yidaoliu Dojo that had been challenged by Qi Lone, everyone did not train today, but erected a curtain on the wall of the dojo to project the live broadcast scene of Qi Lone's kicking today.
"This Qi Lin doesn't seem to be afraid at all." Chiba Naoto said hesitantly.
Chiba Kazuyuki looked at his son, nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't care even if I face the ninth dan, in this case, either I haven't personally faced the strength of the nine dan, or . I've fought against Kudan, and even won it! β
Naoto Chiba said with a shocked face: "How is it possible! He wouldn't be more than thirty years old! β
Chiba Kazuyuki sighed and said, "In this world, there are indeed many geniuses, and there are more than one person who has reached the ninth rank at a young age."
He stopped talking, secretly thinking in his heart, although Ono Tadashi has nine sections, but as early as a few years ago, because of his advanced age, he can no longer maintain the decay of his body, and now his combat power is probably the weakest grade of the nine sections, but it is by no means something that ordinary people of the eighth stage can challenge.
There are still a lot of "old" nine dan like this, such as his father Chiba Mamoto, who is not necessarily stronger than this Ono Tadashi.
If Ono Tadashi is defeated, is it necessary for Beichen to ask his father to come out and try to save the situation?
In addition to Beichen, all kendo schools in the entire Sakura Country are silently paying attention to Qi Lian's challenge journey at this moment.
Soon, two men in suits came to the dojo with three weapons wrapped in long black bags.
As soon as they entered the dojo, they went straight to Qi Lian.
Qi Lian's weapon has been delivered!
Three black cloth bags, two of which were of normal length, and the third weapon, judging from the length of the cloth bag, was exaggerated in length, measuring three meters.
A polepole weapon, I'm afraid.
Qi Lin is not going to challenge Ono Kudan with a long-handled weapon, right?
What a despicable Great Xia man!
Everyone stared at the three bags seriously, trying to see through the black cloth to see through the contents of the bags, and many Sakura people couldn't help but curse in a low voice when they saw the long bag.
Qi stood up with a faint smile and walked in front of the two men in suits.
"Your Excellency Qi Lian, this is the weapon that President Kamizumi ordered to be sent to you." After the man in the suit whispered, he was silent and stopped talking.
Qi Lin nodded, took a brief look, and picked up the shortest of the weapons.
All the Sakura people who were staring at this side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Qi Lin pulled the bag open, took out the sheathed single knife in it, held the scabbard with his left hand, held the handle with his right hand, and used a slight force, only to hear a knife sound, and the single knife was pulled out by him for a small section, revealing an extremely sharp blade.
Qi Lin looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
A good knife cast in modern alloys!
Then he turned around and said to Ono Tadazen with a smile, "So, let's start now?" β
Ono Tadazen's expression remained indifferent: "Since you are ready, it is naturally best to start immediately, sign the agreement!" β
Soon, under the witness of the public and the media, the two sides signed an agreement on the real sword duel in accordance with the legal format.
A few minutes later, two heavily armed men with real knives in their hands came together in the center of the field.
Scold!
Ono Tadazen pulled out the knife called "Bottle Cutting", and Qi Lin estimated the length of the other party's cold blade at a glance.
The length of the blade is about 80 to 90 centimeters, a little longer than an ordinary knife, and it is no different from an ordinary Sakura knife in other aspects, but perhaps because its original owner used this knife to kill many enemies, the blade drank the blood of the master, and in Qi Lin's opinion, this knife seemed to exude an ominous aura.
Tadashi Ono threw the scabbard behind him, and his son immediately stepped forward, carefully took the scabbard, and received it seriously.
Then, Ono Tadazen looked at Qi Lin and suddenly shouted: "Draw the sword!" β
Qi Lin turned sideways slightly, held the scabbard with his left hand, stroked the handle with his right hand, and smiled faintly: "No need, one last question, what are the rules?" β
Knife drawing?
Ono Tadazen's pupils constricted slightly, Sakura people are no strangers to sword drawing, this is an extremely dangerous technique, and it is generally used for assassination and sneak attacks.
Frontal combat with sword drawing is a scene created in fantasy works by the younger generation in order to be handsome.
However, the sword drawing posture on the opposite side is different from the sword drawing posture that is common in Sakura Kendo, he only leans slightly sideways, his feet apart, and he neither bows down his body nor bends his feet, and does not pursue the low position that "Iai Chop" admires.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, what's the rule?" On the other side, Qi Lin asked again.
Ono Tadazen reined in his thoughts, and said with a cold snort: "We have already signed a real sword duel agreement, so naturally it will be until one side loses its combat effectiveness, whether it is injury or death!" β
Qi Lin nodded, stopped talking, and the whole person stood still, as if he had become a sculpture.
Ono Tadazen is the same, he put on an oblique posture - to put it bluntly, it is similar to the Tibetan edge of Great Xia, it is a dragging knife action.
He is a real nine-stage master, this rank is second only to the existence of the Sword Saint, although he is now over seventy years old, both mentally and physically declined, but it is by no means something that the eighth-stage people can fight.
What's more, now the weapon has been replaced by a more lethal real knife
In the next second, Ono Tadazen suddenly stepped forward!
is obviously a septuagenarian, and the explosion speed at this moment is not inferior to that of his prime, and the whole person's marching process is like skipping frames in the eyes of the audience.
Those who watched the scene experienced first-hand what it means to "rush in front of the target in the blink of an eye", and such a scene is not unique to fantasy works, but the real human speed on the planet.
And this kind of speed is the basic strength of the nine-stage master on the earth star.
The ninth stage is the strongest combat power under the Sword Master, which is the integration of heart and body, and has reached the limit of the human body.
Ono Tadashi instantly arrived in front of Qi Shan's body, and in an instant, the oblique structure transformed into the unique upper stage structure of the first sword flow, and then under the mellow Ruyi and beautiful and picturesque natural movements unique to the ninth dan, he slashed out the bottle cutter in his hand that was longer than the ordinary knife.
The moment the bottle cutter slashed towards Qi Lian's head, it had already disappeared in the eyes of the vast majority of people.
But then it immediately became apparent.
Without him, it was Qi Lin who was firmly blocked by Qi Lin with a scabbard a foot in front of his forehead.
No more inch!
