I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 422 Nioh vs Rabid Dog, Qingdeng and Ugaki Goro's duel 【5100】

The same sudden throwing of the bamboo sword, the same sudden attack on Qingdeng... This scene is no longer familiar, but a perfect reenactment!
However, whether it is the speed of the slash or the power of the slash, Goro Ugaki is far above Yuichi Kataoka just now!
However, although Ugaki Goro's sword speed is fast, it is still not as fast as Qing Deng's reaction speed blessed by the talent "Extreme Speed ​​+4".

Goro Ugaki's surprise attack and his sword speed far surpassed that of Yuichi Kataoka made Qingdeng's body tense with astonishment, unable to receive orders from his brain.

However, this is only for a moment.

Just when Ugaki Goro's bamboo sword was about to fall, Qingdeng's body moved consciously one step at a time.

With a calm expression, he raised the bamboo sword in his hand, which was not yet warm, and leaned it on his side, accurately blocking Ugaki Goro's slash.

Qingdeng couldn't help being surprised by the huge force transmitted back along the blade.

As if being bounced away, Ugaki Goro jumped half a step back, opening the distance from Qingdeng.

Immediately afterwards, his tall body sank suddenly, his waist was bent, and his front feet were drawn back.

Such a posture is like a tight spring.

The moment he was about to kneel down to the ground, he slammed a new slash—this moment was also when the "spring" was stretched to its tightest.

The tight spring suddenly let go——with a "pop", the bamboo sword swept towards the place where Qingdeng was standing like a wild waterfall against the current.

And at almost the same time when Ugaki Goro drew the sword, Qingdeng changed his posture, with the bamboo sword in his hand leaning on the left side of his body, slid forward, slanted past Ugaki Goro's bamboo sword, and took advantage of the situation to get close to the opponent.

"what……"

With a "ha" sound, Qingdeng exhaled a puff of foul air.

Luck twisted his waist, stepped and squatted——

The shadow of the sword flashed.

Qingdeng's bamboo sword swept across Ugaki Goro's waist.

However, it is a pity that at the moment Qingdeng's attack was about to hit Ugaki Goro, Ugaki Goro's tall body became blurred - he flew backwards like a big bird, and stood 5 steps away from Qingdeng.

While regaining his posture, Qingdeng took the opportunity to question loudly:

"Mr. Ugaki, what do you mean?"

"'What do you mean'? Nothing special."

Ugaki Goro smiled "hee hee", the corners of his mouth extended to both sides.

"I just want to take advantage of this rare opportunity and fulfill my wish."

"wish?"

Qingdeng asked.

"If you're just a little-known swordsman, then that's fine. But you are the King Ren who is victorious in all battles and has a great reputation!"

"Juqingdeng, let me tell you the truth. When I first heard about you, I always wanted... no, I wanted to compete with you!"

"The sword that can severely injure the Barbarians... must be extraordinary! Just thinking about it makes me so excited!"

"What a pity, you are the captain of Huofu Thief Kai, a shining new star of the shogunate, and I am just a money lender."

"Unless God favors me, I should have no chance to compete with you in this life."

"But... I never thought that my luck is good, and the heaven really favored me!"

"If I don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete with you, then I will have insomnia every night for the next month!"

Speaking of this, Ugaki Goro seemed to be unable to hide his excitement.

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

This appearance is very much like a boa constrictor frantically swallowing letters when it encounters delicious prey.

Facing Ugaki Goro, whose face was full of fanaticism, Qingdeng didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only put on a "speechless" expression.

"...Mr. Ugaki, when I learned that you have the elegant hobby of 'reading novels', I thought the rumors from the outside world were wrong. Now it seems that I was overwhelmed, and the rumors from the outside world are not wrong at all—— You are indeed a 'fighter' who loves fighting more than women and three meals a day."

"Hey, thank you for the compliment."

Goro Ugaki is not ashamed of the evaluation of "fighting madness", but proud of it.

"I know that asking you to fight with me suddenly will make you feel embarrassed."

"I'm not the kind of unreasonable person."

"How about this - between you and me, the outcome will be determined in one battle! No matter what the final outcome is, no matter what you ask me in the future, I will know everything and talk endlessly."

Hearing what Ugaki Goro said, Qingdeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bright light burst out from them.

"Is this true?"

"really!"

Ugaki Goro nodded vigorously.

Judging from Ugaki Goro's crazy energy of "unable to achieve his goal, he will never give up"... If you don't fight with him and satisfy his wish, don't say it is "explaining why Takashi Tachibana borrowed 5000 taels of gold" It's a huge sum of money", whether he is willing to talk more about Takayuki Tachibana's past with Qingdeng is a question.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng heaved a sigh of relief.

"...Okita-kun, Miss Sanako, please step back."

The two women glanced at each other, then both backed away without saying a word, and retreated to a corner of the room.

"Mr. Ugaki, let me ask one more question: Do you start the fight in the bedroom under the foot? Although the bedroom under the foot is very spacious, there are many books stacked on the tatami mat. If you start the fight here, it will not take a moment to move around. a mess."

"Don't worry!"

Ugaki Goro said loudly without thinking.

"I'm too lazy to move the place! I can't wait to start fighting with you! Anyway, it's just some broken books! Even if they are messed up, trampled, kicked, it won't make me feel bad! "

Hearing this, Qingdeng nodded slightly.

"That being the case, I don't have any worries."

After finishing speaking, Qingdeng raised the bamboo sword in his hand, and raised his momentum in the middle.

At the moment when Qingdeng put his posture in place, his aura suddenly changed!It's like a treasured knife suddenly unsheathed, exuding a compelling edge!
"Natural mental flow."

"Orange green!"

Ugaki Goro licked the corner of his mouth excitedly.

"Very good! The momentum is good!"

While laughing, he set up his bamboo sword.

"I flow."

"Ugaki Goro!"

Ugaki Goro made a weird pose.

The blade of the sword is slanted on the chest, and the fists clenched on the hilt are located above the right breast.

It is said that it is the middle posture, and some are too high; it is said that it is the upper posture, and some are too short.

At first glance, it seems too casual and full of flaws.

But after looking carefully, he could find Ugaki Goro's tall body, which seemed to be as solid as a rock in an instant.

The bottom plate based on the ground is flat and stable.

The upper body holding the bamboo sword hides murderous intent.

Jian Feng carried a terrifying sense of coercion.

--sharp!
Qingdeng couldn't help applauding secretly in his heart.

Ugaki Goro is close to 1 meters tall, and his figure is also stronger than Qingdeng.

With the blessing of such a disparity in body size, Ugaki Goro's aura actually overwhelmed Qingdeng.

Although both of them are wearing fierce aura now, this level of aura is not enough to be called "momentum".

Qingdeng has not yet reached the state of "freedom to retract and release 'potential'", and presumably Ugaki Goro is the same.

Looking at Ugaki Goro, who was taller and bigger than him, Qingdeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Japanese people are generally short, but I always seem to meet someone who is as tall as him or taller than him opponent.

In fact, this can be regarded as a "survivor bias" in disguise.

There is a saying: if you practice martial arts without practicing kung fu, you will get old in vain.

The ancients clarified the importance of physical fitness in martial arts training with concise language.

It doesn't matter whether it's unarmed combat or martial arts with equipment, but in all martial arts, the stronger and faster people have an absolute advantage.

In the face of overwhelming physical poorness, any skill is nonsense.

In other words, those who are too short and too weak have no chance to grow into outstanding warriors.

Over time, all warriors who can make a name for themselves or even leave a name in history are mostly tall and strong athletes.

A farther example is Miyamoto Musashi.

According to legend, Miyamoto Musashi is strong and strong, as powerful as an ox, and the heavy sword swings like flying in his hands.Ordinary people may not be able to use the edge freely when using a knife with both hands; but Miyamoto Musashi can tear people's tendons and break people's bones with a single-handed knife!

A more recent example is Dashi Jin, who is known as "Qi Chi Wu Shuang" and is currently working in a martial arts institute.

The reason why this person won the majestic title of "Qi Chi Wu Shuang" is very simple - because he is seven feet (2 meters 1) tall!Terribly strong!Fight all over the world with invincible hands!
When Dashijin was 4 years old, he learned the art of swords and guns from his grandfather.After becoming an adult, he is seven feet tall and has natural supernatural powers, making bamboo swords more than 5 feet (1 meter 5+) long.

Great swordsmen such as "the founder of Beichen Yidao Style" Chiba Shusaku, "Shinto Wunian Style" Okada Tosong, "Momoi of the Position" Momoi Haruzang, etc., were defeated by Dashijin's long sword one after another. Down.

Then Da Shijin became famous, and he himself gradually became invincible, claiming to be invincible.

[Note · Pen tip: No.1.Okada Ten Song is known as "the strongest swordsman of the Shinto Wunen style"]

It wasn't until he was defeated by the "Sword Master" Tani Seiichiro that Oishi Jin put away his perverseness and arrogance.

Before Oishi was defeated by Otani Seiichiro, the saying that the long sword was beneficial was popularized, and bamboo swords over four feet (1 meter 2) were popular in Edo.

Until 1855, the shogunate set up a military training center, and Seiichiro Nantani, who served as the principal of the military training center, made a compromise between ancient methods and modern trends and established a standard of three feet and eight inches (1.14 meters) in length.

In other words, it was not until 5 years ago that the length of the bamboo sword had a recognized standard under the influence of men such as Seiichiro Otani and Susumu Oishi.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help thinking: under the management and appeal of Seiichiro Nantani, a large number of martial arts masters who admired the name of "Sword Master" gathered in the training room.

The current lecture hall can really be called a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, full of talented people!
The first and current principal of the martial arts institute, "Sword Master" Nantani Seiichiro, "Sword Master" Imai Shinro, "Sword Master Zen Master" Yamaoka Tieshu, "Seven Foot Warriors" Oishi Jin, "Sword Master" "Superior Disciple" Sakakibara Kenkichi, "Almighty Sword" Itaba Hideaki...

All the big names!
This group of famous fierce men... especially Seiichiro Tani, who has won the title of "Sword Master" after Ogata Itsue and Kinoshita Genichi, is not surprising even if he is endowed with "eternal talent".

If you can compete with the heroes of the martial arts school headed by Seiichiro Otani... you will definitely gain a lot, and the system will keep playing!

It's just that Qingdeng doesn't like the feeling of defeat.

If you lose the battle, even if you have copied a powerful talent, you will feel a lump in your heart.

Although Qingdeng's martial arts prowess had already surpassed those of his peers, he was not dazzled by the title of "King of Ren".

Qingdeng didn't feel that the current self would be able to retreat under the sword of the heroes of the martial arts institute.

So, still need to work hard!Still need to improve myself!

Waiting until the day when you have the ability to hold back... Be sure to go to the martial arts institute to ask for advice!
Of course, things in the future are left to the future to think about.

Now, let's focus on the duel in front of us first!

Qingdeng took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on Ugaki Goro who was opposite him.

His field of vision became more and more "narrow", and finally - only the bamboo sword in his hand and the opponent in front of him remained in his eyes.

"God Gathering" launched!
Qingdeng's aura suddenly increased, from "slightly inferior" to overwhelming Ugaki Goro in one fell swoop!
Ugaki: "..."

Qingdeng: "..."

A sparrow flew out of the window.

The sparrow stood on the window frame, tilted its head, and stared at the two swordsmen who were confronting each other in the room.

At the same moment when the sparrow "flapped" away——

With a snap, there was a sound of air being cut between Qingdeng and Ugaki Goro.

The sound was extremely fast.

Whether it was Qingdeng or Ugaki Goro who caused the sound first, it was hard to tell with the naked eye.

However, who comes first is just an insignificant issue - because both of them are very fast!Even if there is a gap, it is only a slight difference!
In an instant, the positions of the two were out of place.

Ugaki Goro lowered his waist and swung his sword across Qingdeng's waist, missing Qingdeng.

Qingdeng fought back, although the sword's edge that was attacking from top to bottom missed, it brushed Ugaki Goro's sleeve.

Judging from the results, both of them failed to take advantage of this round of slashing.

However, for Sanako and the chief who were watching the battle from the sidelines...or in the eyes of warriors with a certain amount of experience, Qingdeng actually had the upper hand in this seemingly tied confrontation.

One side only cut through the air, while the other side hit the opponent's sleeve—it was clear at a glance which one was stronger and which was weaker.

"Haahahahah!"

Goro Ugaki let out a cry, brushing the soles of his feet against the tatami, changing his posture, and slashing heavily diagonally downward with the bamboo sword he was holding in a weird posture that was neither upper nor middle.

Qingdeng stood on the spot, and did not dodge - bang - the bamboo sword drew a graceful arc in the air, parrying Ugaki Goro's slash.

Ugaki Goro took half a step back holding the bamboo sword that had been baited back.

Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Qingdeng concentrated his strength on the soles of his feet, then kicked the ground hard, and suddenly rushed towards Ugaki Goro.

While his body was "flying at low altitude" due to his forward leap, Qingdeng lowered his bamboo sword and assumed a lower right stance.

Seeing this, Ugaki Goro quickly stepped on his heels, held his sword forward, and barely prepared to meet the enemy hastily.

The instant the two passed by each other, Qingdeng's bamboo sword whizzed straight to Ugaki Goro's chest.

The way of the sword is weird and tricky, just like a flexible leather whip.

Although Ugaki Goro defended with a sword, his speed was half a beat slower.

Bang!
Qingdeng's bamboo sword hit Ugaki Goro's chest hard.

It feels very solid in the hand.

The tactile sensation of hitting solid muscles was continuously transmitted to Qingdeng's palms.

The sleeves of the two intersect and change positions.

Qingdeng turned around, just as he habitually performed the gesture of remnant heart... a black shadow enveloped his vision - it was Ugaki Goro's bamboo sword!
The chest injury didn't seem to have reduced Ugaki Goro's combat effectiveness.

Using one foot as the axis, he turned quickly and swung his sword with the centrifugal force of his turn!

Qingdeng had no time to dodge, so he could only raise his sword over the top and catch Ugaki Goro's bamboo sword in mid-air.

When the two swords intersected, air waves splashed in all directions!
Across the bamboo swords, Qingdeng saw that the corners of Ugaki Goro's mouth were upturned exaggeratedly... a very excited, very excited look...

Although the current swordsmanship does not have detailed and scientific rules of competition like the swordsmanship of later generations, it also has many customary rules.

For example: the side with the sword in the chest will undoubtedly lose.

As for the real sword duel, let alone.Unless it was a monster with extraordinary talents, even if the person with the chest wound did not die on the spot, he would not be far from death.

So, Qingdeng couldn't help but questioned:
"Hey! I cut your chest, you should have lost, right?"

"Ah? Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot to explain in advance! Our discussion will adopt the 'tumbler' system created by me."

"'Tumbler'? What do you mean?"

"It means that the two sides are like tumblers that won't fall down no matter how much they play, they keep chopping at each other! Keep chopping until one side can't stand up!"

After finishing speaking, Ugaki Goro jumped back and voluntarily withdrew from the wrestling with Qingdeng.

It was too late to say that, just when Ugaki Goro's feet fell back to the tatami, he bounced back quickly, and appeared in front of Qingdeng again in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that it was not a one move to determine the outcome, but to hit one of them to the point of exhaustion...Qingdeng felt a helpless feeling of "being tricked".

However, the matter has come to this point, and Qingdeng has no way to go back on his word.

Facing Ugaki Goro who was slashing straight at him like a flying swallow, Qingdeng pulled himself together, set up a stance, and fought with the opponent again.

Swords and swords danced between the two, making people dazzled.

Someone is bound to get hurt - anyone would think so, right?After seeing such a fierce attack and defense, after hearing such dense bamboo sword clashing sounds.

But in fact, both of them are fine, neither of them was hit by the sword, and neither of them was injured.

--strangeness……

Qingdeng frowned slightly, muttering to himself.

——Is it my illusion...?
Qingdeng always felt that Ugaki Goro's strength... seemed to be a little stronger than before.

********
********
Although it failed to reach the goal of 6000+...but there are 5000+!It can be regarded as a small improvement! (Arrogance of the Leopard.jpg)

Leopard Leopard has been laying the groundwork for so long for the lecture hall... I really want to write about the story of King Ren's battle with the heroes of the lecture hall soon! (Leopard Hi.jpg)

There is already such a picture in my mind - Qingdeng pushes open the gate of the martial arts institute, behind the gate on the left and right sides, stand grotesque giants of swordsman; Seiichiro Tani.

"Natural Lixin Flow, Tangerine Deng Shengqing, please advise!"

　By the way, all the swordsman names that appear in this chapter, such as Seiichiro Nantani, Susumu Oishi, etc., are historical figures, not the author's nonsense.

　　In order to fight against the Western powers, passionate youths practiced martial arts enthusiastically. Therefore, the long-lost swordsmanship at the end of the Tokugawa period has made great progress that has not been seen for a long time, and many superb swordsmen and great swordsmen have appeared-however, this is the last swan song of Japanese swordsmanship. up.
