Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 44: Nine-headed Dragon Flash
Well then, come on, the demon that wreaks havoc on Sakura Kendo!
Let me kill you!
Kondo Takehiro's mind was turning, and his eyes were fixed on Qi Ji. At this moment, amid the cheers of the audience, he felt that his spiritual realm was infinitely elevated, and his ability to control his body had almost reached an unprecedented level.
This time, the people’s hearts are with me!
Following the referee's order, Kondo Takehiro shouted softly and turned into a shadow and rushed out at high speed.
Qi Ji was naturally not to be outdone, and he also took a step forward in the middle position.
The two men suddenly stabbed each other with the sharp blades in their hands!
The blades rubbed against each other, producing a series of sparks, and then stabbed towards the opponent's chest at an incredible speed.
As long as we kill him, Sakura's reputation will be preserved!
Even if we don't kill him, at least we can injure him severely, we still win in the end!
With this mentality, Kondo Takehiro had a cold expression on his face and did not dodge or evade the tip of Qi Ji's knife.
He planned to use this double kill technique to sacrifice himself and save the entire kendo world of Sakura.
What a ruthless determination!
The first time Qi Ji fought against Tianran Li Xin Liu, he faced a ninth-level top master who had integrated his mind, skills and body into one and was trying to kill him!
Faced with Kondo Takehiro's determination to die together.
A wild smile appeared on Qi Ji's lips.
He unexpectedly faced a situation where someone would actively seek a double kill from him one day.
However, this is reality, not the Tower of Transcendence. If people are killed, they will die.
Perhaps for the master of the natural rational flow on the opposite side, it is a matter of dignity and a matter of life and death worth risking his life for.
But for Qi Ji, sweeping the Sakura Kendo world is just a trivial goal.
Then I'll play with you!
Qi Ji instantly changed the stance of his sword, raised it vertically, and immediately deflected Kondo Takehiro's sword.
Just this one moment, judging from the situation, Qi Ji, who was forced to change his tactics, immediately fell into a passive position.
Kondo Takehiro was delighted. The duel between the nine dan was just like a game of chess. When both sides were at the pinnacle of unity of mind, skill and body, if the physical gap between them was not too great, killing the opponent with one blow would have been a fairy tale.
Since it is like playing chess, the accumulation of advantages is extremely important. This initial proactive advantage is the first step for me to defeat you!
Sword Demon! Die!
The next moment, Kondo Takehiro turned the blade and slashed at Qi Ji more than ten times, alternating left and right, at an extremely fast speed.
Natural rational flow——May Rain Sword!
After Qi Ji fell into a passive position, his movements seemed to be half a beat slower than Kondo Takehiro. Although he blocked all the opponent's continuous slashes like a rainstorm, his movements were inevitably a little sluggish, and his whole structure was a little collapsed.
"Kill him! Kondo Kyudan!"
"That's it, let's do it in one go!"
The scene of the two men fighting was broadcast live on the big screen at the scene, and every audience member could see it clearly.
When they saw Qi Ji falling into a disadvantage, they couldn't help but cheer wildly.
Kondo Takehiro seized this rare advantage and fought more and more smoothly. He held the sword tightly with both hands and displayed all kinds of sword techniques of the Tennen Rishin-ryu one by one.
Flying Dragon Sword, Tiger Tail Sword, Wave Counter Sword, Goose Flying Sword, Moon Shadow Sword, Lion King Sword!
To outsiders, they are nothing more than ordinary sword moves such as chopping, slashing, wrapping or counterattacking, but the underlying principles and techniques of force are not something that ordinary people can understand.
Qi Ji blocked continuously, like a small boat drifting in a storm. Kondo Takehiro's attack was like angry waves that kept rolling and hitting the hull, as if the boat would capsize in the next second.
The high-speed attack and defense lasted for dozens of seconds.
The flash of swords between the two was unpredictable, and under the spotlight of the dome it looked like a blooming flower.
The rapid sound of metal clashing and the flashing of swords resounded throughout the venue.
Kondo Takehiro began to feel confused.
This Qi Ji had clearly taken the lead from the very beginning because of his desperate double kill, and the posture of the two became increasingly crooked during the attack and defense.
But there was no sign of defeat at all. What was going on?
The next second, Kondo Takehiro noticed Qi Ji's face.
He is laughing.
Laughing wildly!
An ominous premonition flashed through Kondo Takehiro's mind.
Qi Ji's eyes met the other party's. It was obvious that the two of them were engaged in a thrilling high-speed attack and defense. It was obvious that his body was tilting left and right, and it seemed that he would be defeated in the next second.
But he still said lightly in front of Kondo Takehiro's shocked gaze: "You found out."
What is he talking about? Judging from the pronunciation, does it mean "発见"?
Kondo Takehiro felt more and more ominous in his heart, and could not help but speed up the sword in his hand, wanting to kill Qi Ji as soon as possible.
"With a knife of this speed, it's still a long way from hitting me!" Qi Ji continued with a smile.
The next moment, he changed his shaky posture and raised his sword to block Kondo Takehiro's slash!
The method of nourishing the meridians is fierce!
The tremendous force and sudden increase in speed caught Kondo Takehiro off guard, and Qi Ji blocked his katana and pushed him back violently.
In an instant, the offensive and defensive situation reversed!
At this moment, Qi Ji seemed to have turned into a bulldozer. How could humans compare with the power of a bulldozer?
He pushed harder with his feet, and in just a few breaths he pushed Kondo Takehiro back more than ten steps.
The audience's originally loud cheers gradually died down, and they all looked at Kondo Takehiro with concern as he struggled to resist Qi Ji's pressure.
"Slant sword!"
Kondo Takehiro finally reacted and shouted loudly. Under Qi Ji's pressure, although he was outmatched in strength, he used the same trick again. With a fearless attitude, he turned his wrist and entangled Qi Ji's single sword, then turned the blade and stabbed it out rapidly, intending to die together with Qi Ji!
Qi Ji suddenly retreated three meters away.
"This double kill thing is really useful!" He exclaimed with a smile.
"Yin Yong Sword!"
The next second, Kondo Takehiro had already regained his advantage with a double-death move, and rushed forward with the Kotetsu sword in his hand!
However, he only hit a shadow.
Qi Ji had quietly stood to the right of Kondo Takehiro.
when?
Kondo Takehiro was only filled with fear. He immediately turned his hand and swung his sword horizontally. The blade cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound and instantly cut to the place where Qi Ji was standing.
Still cutting through the air!
There was an inexplicable smile on Qi Ji's face, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a stream of water. His body moved slowly and quickly at will, and his footsteps were strange and winding. He easily dodged back and forth under Kondo Takehiro's continuous slashes.
His movements were so fast that, in the eyes of viewers with poor eyesight, it was as if the whole person had turned into a shadow that appeared and disappeared from time to time, which was extremely uncomfortable to watch.
It was the unique body movement technique that Qi Ji learned from the Kodachi Nisō-ryū - Kaiten Sword Dance!
Kondo Takehiro reacted very quickly. He no longer wasted his energy, but calmly stood firmly in place with the structure of his hand mirror sword, staring at Qi Ji's figure that was like flowing water and moving at high speed with him as the center.
It's not like he hasn't seen such agile opponents who specialize in body movements and footwork. No matter how clever their body movements are, the moment they attack, they are also most likely to be hit!
This technique of high-speed body movement is extremely energy-consuming. He only needs to wait and see, and when his opponent can no longer bear it and attack, he will seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow!
As expected of a top-level ninth-level expert who has experienced hundreds of battles, facing Qi Ji's strange and magical movements, he actually found a way to deal with it in the first time.
Qi Ji smiled. Only an opponent like this was worthy of him using more powerful moves to defeat him, right?
Thinking of this, since the essence of my physical skills has been seen through by Kondo Takehiro, there is no need to continue wasting my energy.
The next moment, Qi Ji quickly retreated and stood still.
He did not take advantage of his strange movement to try to attack Kondo Takehiro.
Since Kondo Takehiro stopped in a defensive posture, it meant that he had seen through the essence of the Kaiten Sword Dance in an instant, so there was no need to attack in vain.
Kondo Takehiro looked at Qi Ji who had retreated several meters away, and silently adjusted the stance of his hand mirror sword back to the flat blue eye structure. Then he sneered: "What, are you scared? You made such a big scene, but in the end you are not going to attack?"
Qi Ji shook his head slightly, then held the single sword quietly in both hands and held it upright in front of him. In an instant, the whole person exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
He said softly, "It's a pity that you said you don't know the three-stage thrust. Otherwise, I really want to compete with the authentic Tennen Rishin-ryu to see whose three-stage thrust is stronger."
Kondo Takehiro looked at the powerful Qi Ji. Although he could not understand what the other party said, he knew that the next moment would be the decisive moment.
So he suddenly staggered his steps forward and backward, and put the mirror sword back into position again.
He restrained his aura, and then a strange mood dissipated.
At this moment, under Qi Ji's aura seemed to have turned into a bird soaring in the waves. Although he was constantly hit by the scarlet waves, he could always fly out through the holes in the waves.
The ultimate meaning of the natural rational flow - the position of the floating bird!
The so-called floating bird refers to the state of mind that is like a seabird appearing in the turbulent waves, eliminating all interference, accurately sensing the opponent's actions and launching appropriate combat.
bring it on!
Kondo Takehiro had a resolute expression, with a look of determination to die on his face, and in his hand he tightly grasped the precious sword Chosone Mikotoru left by his ancestors.
A genius like Chongtian Zongsi, whose famous skill is the Wuming Sword: Three-stage Thrust.
Saito Hajime has a special skill - tooth thrust.
Hijikata Toshizo also has a secret sword - Ghost Sword·No One Sword.
How could it be that Kondo Isami, the master of the Tennen Rishin-ryu and the strongest person in the school, did not have any hidden tricks passed down?
Reverse Technique: Dragon Tail Sword——It's ready!
"Nice momentum." Qi Ji's face showed a satisfied smile, "I guess there will be some very exciting tricks waiting for me, right?"
He laughed wildly with excitement: "Only in this way can I live up to this imaginary sword technique!"
The next moment, he stomped his feet hard and disappeared from the spot in an instant!
Then in a flash he appeared in front of Kondo Takehiro.
Qi Ji's hands moved, and the sword in his hand disappeared in an instant!
Vertical chop, forward and diagonal chop, reverse diagonal chop, left sweep, right sweep, left swipe, right swipe, downward swipe, and stab!
The secret of the Flying Sword Style——
Nine-headed dragon flashes!
In an instant, attacks from nine directions almost simultaneously struck Kondo Takehiro!
Kondo Takehiro was reminded by the sharpest sixth sense he had ever faced in his life that all nine parts of his body were facing fatal blows.
With a look of shock on his face, he swung out Chang Zeng Mi Kotetsu and successfully blocked Qi Ji's first vertical slash.
But, he only blocked this one knife!
Immediately afterwards, Kondo Takehiro was stabbed in the shoulders, ribs, hips, lower abdomen and chest!
Under Qi Ji's final thrust, he was stabbed into the air, and fell heavily to the ground under the stage with blood splattering.
This time, there was no need for Qi Ji to remind them. The medical team rushed forward frantically, fearing that Kondo Takehiro would die on the spot.
Qi Ji sneered: "I'm afraid he can't die!"
After saying that, Qi Ji looked up and glanced at the audience and the thousands of elite swordsmen in the audience, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If you are on someone else's territory and really kill your opponent in public, I'm afraid the Sakura Cabinet or the kendo world will have a hundred ways to kill you.
We still have to become extraordinary as soon as possible!
…
Tennen Rishin-ryu, 9th dan Kondo Takehiro, was defeated!
So far, Qi Ji has defeated the first five of the nine schools that openly accepted the challenge.
The rest include the Dream God School, Mizugu Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, and Sakura's most famous school -
Yagyu Shinkage Ryu!
