Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 40: Two consecutive defeats
8:00 am, Bunkyo Dome.
The auditorium with a capacity of nearly 50,000 people was already full early on, and even the viewing corridor behind the auditorium was filled with people.
Inside the venue, the two thousand chairs arranged around the central circular stage were now filled with elite swordsmen from various schools across the Sakura Country.
Among them, there are many teams from well-known schools, all wearing uniform dojo uniforms and haori, which shows that they take this matter very seriously.
For example, last time Qi Ji adjusted his schedule, he had not yet challenged the team from the Tennen Rishin-ryu Shiweikan. So they all wore light green haori imitating the Shinsengumi of the Sakura Country at the end of the Bakumatsu period, with a big word "誠" embroidered on the haori. Now they were gathered together with serious faces, and nearly a hundred people were sitting upright in the seats close to the stage.
There are many other schools similar to the Shinsengumi, and they are also sitting in their chairs with the same seriousness.
Everyone simultaneously turned their attention to the stage, where a handsome man with a leisurely posture was standing.
A man from Daxia.
The Ultimate Demonic Sword, the Extremely Fast Sword, the Imperial Sword Demon, the Ultimate Destroying Sword...
In just a few days, this man's title spread rapidly in major media in the Sakura Country, and the trend was getting stronger and stronger.
His existence has begun to seriously affect the dignity of the kendo circle in Sakura Country.
The foreign devil's sword should be defeated with the strength of the whole world!
If they really couldn't lose face, many people would have shouted, "There's no point in talking to the heretics and evil demons. Let's fight together!"
It might not have been possible to do this in the past when technology was not so advanced, but unfortunately the Internet is too advanced now.
Since the man named Qi Ji appeared on the scene, his live broadcast has spread all over the Internet.
In the audience seats, countless Sakura-language voices of support echoed and overlapped throughout the Bunkyo Dome. Waves of sound rushed into the stadium one after another, instilling confidence in all the Sakura Kendo schools present.
At the same time, he also uttered a deep curse towards Qi Ji who was standing on the stage.
Tens of thousands of people in the audience were cursing and hating Qi Ji alone. Qi Ji seemed to see in a trance that all the resentment had gathered into a huge, turbid demon that was ready to devour him at any time.
However, it was ultimately just a concrete imagination of his malice towards outsiders when his mental power had gradually reached its peak. The image of the spiritual realm could not make any actual interference with his reality.
He just stood on the stage with a faint smile, his eyes freely scanning the audience.
On someone else's territory, in front of thousands of people, he defeated all of the enemy's most elite swordsmen.
Just thinking about it made him feel like he was going to heaven.
The next moment, a host with a microphone, slicked back hair and wearing a white suit came up to him. As soon as he came on stage, he began to loudly speak Sakura language to liven up the atmosphere. After arousing excited applause from the audience, he waved his hand suddenly and pointed to the two giant screens in the two stadiums.
Originally, one of the two screens was always locked on Qi Ji's face, while the other switched between the faces of different elite swordsmen off the field. Occasionally, it would stay on the faces of some of the most famous and powerful swordsmen in Sakura Country for a longer period of time, which would always cause the entire Sakura audience to cheer loudly in support.
At this moment, the faces of Qi Ji and others on the screen disappeared, and instead a long list of names arranged in order was directly displayed.
Qi Ji knew what it meant at a glance. Before he went on stage, Chun Gufeng told him that in order to assist him in organizing this challenge, he had already communicated with him in advance the order of appearance of several major challenge schools. At least the order of the first nine had been determined.
The next few opponents will be from the Chugoku-nishi Ittoryu, Kagami-shin Akechi-ryu, and Taisha-ryu!
Soon, the match list disappeared, the host walked off the stage with the microphone, and then the entire square began to resound with an exciting broadcast.
"Next, we welcome the contemporary master of the Nakanishi School's Itto-ryu, Nakanishi Tomohiko, 8th Dan, to come on stage and compete with the Ultimate Demon Sword Qi Ji from the Great Xia Country!"
In Qi Ji's left ear, the high-tech translation earplug that Chun Gufeng had prepared for him in advance automatically translated the broadcast words for him.
Amidst the huge cheers from all the Sakura people, a middle-aged man wearing protective gear, holding a helmet under his left arm and holding a real sword with a cold glow in his right hand came onto the stage.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he glared at Qi Ji with a sneer and said loudly, "The leader of the Nakanishi School's Itto-ryu School, Nakanishi Tomohiko, requests to have a real sword test with you. Do you dare?"
After listening to the translation, Qi Ji looked at the other party's confident expression. He didn't know where his confidence came from, so he simply nodded.
The next moment, a staff member brought a pad and brought the real sword duel agreement to the stage. Under the camera's capture, the process of the two people signing the agreement was broadcast live on the huge screen.
The atmosphere among all the audience became even more heated!
Real sword test! Real sword test! Real sword test!
Everyone was shouting enthusiastically, as if they couldn't wait to see Qi Ji bleeding profusely.
Qi Ji raised his head and glanced at the audience, and couldn't help but let out an inexplicable smile.
The next moment, two people stood on the stage.
Both of them put on their helmets silently and held sharpened real knives in their hands.
The referee immediately came on stage and read out the rules of victory and defeat loudly: "Since the real sword test agreement has been signed, unless one of them admits defeat in the test, the match will end when one of them loses his fighting ability! Now!" The referee raised his left hand high, then swung it down violently.
"The showdown begins!"
At the same second the referee announced the start, Tomohiko Nakanishi shouted and rushed forward, holding the katana tightly with both hands and quickly changing from a diagonal stance to an upper stance before slashing out at high speed.
It's cut off!
The audience immediately shouted excitedly, trying to support Tomohiko Nakanishi and inject momentum into the performance.
Qi Ji narrowed his eyes slightly under the helmet, and the next moment he moved his wrist and suddenly drew his sword!
In an instant, the sword light cut off Tomohiko Nakanishi's katana, and then cut through his chest guard, and blood spurted out immediately!
The audience's cheers suddenly stopped.
Tomohiko Nakanishi cried out in pain, took several steps back and fell to the ground. Seeing blood spurting from his chest, his cries of pain became even louder.
Qi Ji put away his sword and stood up, looking speechless. It was just a cut of skin, why was he shouting so excitedly?
The next moment, the medical staff arranged by Shangquan Technology rushed to the stage and carried Tomohiko Nakanishi away.
"Baka! What the hell is this Chugoku-nishi Ichidairyu?"
"If you don't have the ability, then don't come out and embarrass yourself, okay!"
“It’s so embarrassing!”
In the audience stands, countless Sakura spectators covered their faces with their hands and began to curse this overconfident Chinese and Western Ittoryu. The entire Bunkyo Dome was filled with uproar.
The radio ignored the audience's curses and faithfully played the information of the next Ryu master: "Unfortunately, due to the strength of the absolute evil destruction sword Qi Ji, the Nakanishi Itto-ryu master Nakanishi Tomohiko, 8th dan, was defeated. Now, we invite the Kagami Shinkei-ryu master Taoi Keiji, 8th dan, to come on stage and see if he can defeat his powerful enemy!"
Then, the current master of the Kagami Shinkei-ryu walked onto the stage, holding a wooden sword in his hand, and said with a forced smile, "Sir Qi Ji is indeed a master of swordsmanship. I am the master of the Kagami Shinkei-ryu, Momoi Keiji. So this time, we will meet in martial arts, and stop there."
Qi Ji walked silently to the sidelines and picked up a wooden sword in the shape of a sakura sword.
The two men confronted each other, and Momoi Keiji used a very graceful movement to pull out the wooden sword in a gorgeous manner as if it was a scabbard hidden at his waist. After two fake slashes, he took a handsome mid-section stance.
Qi Ji curled his lips, and the moment the referee announced the start of the duel, he took the initiative to rush out, and suddenly appeared in front of Momoi Keiji in a terrifying manner.
The horrifying sixth sense warning instantly spread throughout Momoi Keiji's body. His face changed and he immediately raised his knife to block!
The next second, the two wooden swords collided fiercely!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of countless wooden swords colliding exploded!
A minute later, Momoi Keiji fell down wailing as several bones were broken by Qi Ji's endless slashing.
After seeing the two people attacking each other, the Sakura audience regained their confidence and cheered for each other, and their defense was broken again!
Qi Ji VS the entire Sakura Kendo world.
Take two cities!
