Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 47: Over Limit
With the support of tens of thousands of people, Yagyu Jubei, who had already honed his mind, skills and body to the limit, became even more fierce.
The Yagyu family's precious sword Tengu-kiri vibrated at high speed in Jubei's hand, making a sharp sound like the flapping of a bee's wings.
It seemed as if there was an inexplicable breeze blowing, causing Qi Ji's long hair to flutter slightly.
Seeing his opponent so enthusiastic, Qi Ji couldn't help but burst into a satisfied laugh.
He drew his sword and assumed the basic stance of the Ashina-ryu that was similar to the Kasumi-style stance. His eyes were shining brightly as he stared closely at Yagyu Jubei.
Finally I can stretch my muscles...
Yagyu Jubei had no idea what Qi Ji was thinking. He was still eager to fight because he had found his "destined opponent".
The two men confronted each other for less than ten seconds.
With the support of tens of thousands of people's faith, Jubei's momentum reached its peak much faster than usual.
The next second, he stepped forward suddenly, and the stage under his feet made a crisp cracking sound, and was cracked by him.
And Jubei's figure had already turned into a shadow.
Qi Ji's eyes were shining brightly. Facing this enemy whose strength far exceeded that of other ordinary ninth-level enemies, he did not immediately activate the Meridian Nourishing Method.
It's time to check what level my normal strength is.
bring it on!
His footsteps crossed, and he and Jubei turned into afterimages at the same time. The two of them crossed the space as if skipping frames and appeared in front of each other. The blades in their hands collided with each other in an instant!
The knife flashed and sparks flew.
The intersecting blades lasted only a fraction of a second.
Then, the two of them used their hands to dance at the same time, creating a large afterimage, and along with the afterimage, there was also a high-speed collision of blades shining with silver light.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
Like dense hail hitting the iron shed, the endless sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the venue.
Not only that, unlike the previous battles between Qi Ji and other ninth-dan masters, this battle, the two men moved swiftly and dodged on the 30-meter diameter stage, leaping sideways and vertically, stopping to fight with swords in a moment, and retreating in a moment.
His sword skills and body movements became extremely terrifying when they were displayed at full strength.
The camera's close-up mode was no longer able to capture the two figures, so the operations room had to settle for the next best thing and zoomed out the lens to focus on the entire arena, hoping to capture the two men's heroic fighting figures on the screen.
The audience was stunned for a moment as they watched the fighting scenes on the stage and on the screen.
Too strong! Are the two people on the stage still human?
On the stage, the smile on Yagyu Jubei's face became more and more wild.
"That's right! That's right! This is the kind of battle I want. Only this kind of battle can become a tool for me to forge myself!"
He thought so happily, and the next second, the attack of his hands increased a bit!
In an instant, from the Yanfei Tachi to the Secret Tachi, various new Yinliu moves were used one after another by him.
Swallow flies, swallow returns, Shanyin, moon shadow, Pu Bo, floating boat, cut armor, and hold a knife!
Decisive and decisive, unique sword, magical sword, Tengu Sword!
After using various routines, with the further resonance of mind and body, Yagyu Jubei slowly entered the state of "Ultimate Intention" as described in Sakura Kendo.
In this state, a person's mind is highly concentrated, and the body and spirit are highly unified. In a confrontation, there is no need to think, and the body can naturally make corresponding and correct responses to all actions of the opponent.
This is an advanced version of "flow" and also a low-level version of "demon subduing". In Daxia, this state is called "trance"!
Qi Ji focused his mind and resisted Yagyu Jubei's seemingly endless attacks with great difficulty.
Although he can easily defeat the ninth dan in his explosive state, he can even defeat the strong ones among the ninth dan.
But in fact, he himself is still slowly groping his way on the ninth stage.
If he does not use any explosive skills, and only relies on his own physical fitness with the blessing of transcendence, facing people like Yagyu Jubei who have reached the limits of human beings in terms of mind, skills and body, and can take advantage of any opportunity to step into the extraordinary level, he actually does not have much advantage.
But he did not get discouraged by the disadvantage he found himself in.
Instead, he smiled happily.
Jubei, you regard me as an opportunity to step into the extraordinary.
Little do you know that I am also using you as my whetstone!
The two men's spirits seemed to be in sync at this moment, and they actually showed wild smiles at the same time while fighting with swords.
In an instant, Jubei held the sword with both hands and swung it at a super-speed slash that included all the new Yin-ryu chopping moves he had learned.
Qi Ji was not willing to be outdone. He turned the hilt of his sword upside down and actually used it to block Jubei's attack!
With a thud, Qi Ji used the reaction force to turn around at high speed , and then stabbed Jubei in the face with the tip of the sword from behind.
Japanese sword technique - back-stabbing!
The double pupil of Jubei's left eye continued to shrink, and he was able to see through Qi Ji's movements early with his amazing dynamic vision. At the same time, he held the knife with both hands and chopped forward with all his might, immediately cutting off Qi Ji's stab.
His attack was not over yet, he stepped forward, holding the knife in both hands and slashed at Qi Ji from top to bottom for more than ten times with heavy blows.
Qi Ji quickly raised his sword and blocked all of Jubei's attacks in an instant.
The high-speed attack and defense of the two people seemed to never stop, and after every short period of time, the speed would become faster.
This time it's not just the audience.
After being defeated by Qi Ji, the Ninth Stage Swordsmen who did not leave immediately but remained on the stage enduring their injuries and watching the duel between the two were also extremely shocked.
It was really hard for them to understand why Jubei and Qi Ji, who were both ninth-level people, were so much stronger than themselves.
Could it be that both of them have reached the level of Sword Saint?
So young, it's incredible!
…
The high-intensity offensive battle lasted for nearly ten minutes!
clang!
With a loud bang, Qi Ji and Yagyu Jubei quickly retreated.
The endless attack and defense came to an abrupt end after this fierce duel between the two swords.
Yagyu Jubei was breathing heavily, his black kendo uniform was completely soaked with sweat, and the color looked even darker.
His kendo uniform was torn and in the tattered gaps were tiny wounds caused by Qi Ji's blade, from which trace amounts of blood were constantly oozing out.
He held the sword in both hands and stretched it out horizontally. The blade of the long, curved extended katana "Tengu-kiri" was covered with notches.
"What a joy! It's really joyful!" He laughed wildly.
Although his physical strength was severely depleted and almost exhausted, Yagyu Jubei could truly feel that his body seemed to have turned into a furnace, blending his spirit, soul, blood, and everything about him together.
Now, he only needs an opportunity, a fuse, and a spark!
"Come on, Qi Jijun, lend me a hand, help me to transcend!" Yagyu Jubei's eyes were as hot as fire. Obviously, his physical strength was almost exhausted, but his momentum reached its peak at this moment.
Qi Ji was also breathing heavily. Compared to the numerous but small wounds on Jubei's body, the few knife wounds on Qi Ji's body were deeper than the other's. At this moment, blood was slowly flowing out, staining his clothes with red patches.
This shows that although his physical fitness is extremely strong due to the blessing of transcendence, in front of someone like Jubei who is about to exceed the limit, if he does not enter the explosive state to form a higher level of physical crushing, he is actually still slightly at a disadvantage.
But his physical condition is obviously much better than Jubei's.
Qi Ji clearly felt the same feeling as the eldest senior sister of Jiange in this person, the feeling that could break through to the limit at any time.
Under the other party's fiery gaze, Qi Ji lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Yagyu Jubei stared at him in silence for a second, then suddenly grinned: "Of course!"
Qi Ji continued to ask: "Are there more good people or bad people?"
Yagyu Jubei chuckled: "Although I am not a good person, I have never killed good people with my sword!"
Qi Ji knew that he was not lying. This was a sincere conversation between the two swordsmen after a fierce battle of souls.
So he stood still, swung the single-edged sword with his right hand and put it back into the sheath in an instant, held the sheath with his left hand and stroked the sword with his right hand.
The whole person suddenly exuded an aura that was twice as terrifying as when he was fighting with Yagyu Jubei just now.
Yagyu Jubei was shocked and shouted, "You didn't use your full strength just now!?"
Qi Ji's lips curled up into a smile, and his fierce aura forced Yagyu Jubei to believe what he said: "I have defeated extraordinary people over there. If I use my full strength, you will be killed by me in an instant!"
Jubei smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you can kill an extraordinary person with your mortal body."
Qi Ji smiled and said, "I'm not saying this to make you admit defeat, I'm just trying to tell you..."
His momentum rose again, and at this moment, the image of an endless river of blood spread throughout the venue, making Qi Ji look extremely terrifying.
"Get ready. Take this blow and I'll help you exceed your limit!"
"If you can't bear it, I'll send you on your way!"
Yagyu Jubei was shocked all over, and his face turned serious as he looked at Qi Ji, whose momentum was rising across from him.
He bowed slightly to Qi Ji seriously, then immediately raised the knife, once again mobilizing the feeling that his whole body was like a furnace, and stared at Qi Ji intently.
The next second, Qi Ji brazenly started the meridian nourishing method!
Blood instantly spurted out from several wounds on his body.
But Qi Ji didn't care. He stomped his foot heavily, and the stage beneath his feet exploded!
His figure disappeared from the audience's sight in an instant!
Shrink the earth, and then - a magic sword!
Buzz!
The double pupil in Yagyu Jubei's left eye trembled at a high speed, and his sixth sense gave him a mysterious and sharp warning.
His body was like a furnace, seeming to be using his spirit and flesh as fuel. All it took was a fire to burn away all the impurities in his body.
The "number of three" theory expounded by his real ancestor Yagyu Jubei in the military strategy "Tsuki no Sho" flashed through his mind - that ultimate truth, which talked about the principle of actively accepting the attack and counterattacking in response to the enemy's attack to win.
The move that corresponds to this principle is called - Heart Eye Knife!
He shouted loudly, and following the prompting of his mysterious sixth sense, he suddenly swung his katana in one direction!
clang!
The scream of metal clashing rang out!
Qi Ji's figure appeared one meter behind Yagyu Jubei. His sheathed sword seemed to have never been unsheathed, but had always been hidden in the sheath.
The next second, a broken knife fell from the air and landed on the stage with a clang.
Behind him, Yagyu Jubei looked at the remaining half of the broken sword in his hand, was stunned for a while, and then smiled with a relieved look.
He slowly turned around, actually knelt on the ground in front of tens of thousands of people, and then bowed down resolutely!
"Thank you, Lord Qi Ji, for your help!"
“I succeeded!”
