I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 855: Master and Disciple Duel! Prajna vs. Boss Kiryu! [5100]

A gentle breeze is blowing.

The light slanting down from the gaps between the branches formed a net-like shape, reflecting on the old and young master and apprentice, swinging rapidly like a pendulum.

As soon as Prajna finished speaking, she immediately received a response from Kiryu's boss:
"Keji, long time no see."

Boss Kiryu stood expressionlessly in the open space filled with fallen leaves.

When Keji emerged from the dense forest, his calm appearance changed slightly.

Nostalgia, regret, sadness...all kinds of emotions mixed beautifully together and hung on the old man's cheeks.

But after only a moment, he suppressed these distracting thoughts and returned to his cold and indifferent expression.

The reunion between the master and the disciple was not grand, but rather very peaceful.

Prajna moved with relaxed and casual steps to a place ten meters away from Boss Kiryu.

"Master, I'm curious, how did you know I was here?"

Boss Kiryu said coldly:

"This kind of thing is totally unimportant, right?"

Upon hearing this, Prajna shrugged and laughed:
"Ha, that's right. For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter what happens. To be honest, I don't really care how you found me."

As he spoke, he looked up and down at Kiryu-sama and changed his tone to one full of emotion:

"Master, take a closer look. You... look much older."

"Yes. The disciple went astray - every time I think of this, I feel another wrinkle on my face."

Prajna sneered a few times:

"'go astray'?"

"Then I am curious. How did I go astray?"

"Does it mean that pointing out your mistakes is a mistake?"

When he spoke of this, Prajna suddenly raised his voice and his tone became extremely excited.

"Master! Why don't you understand?"

"This is your fault! You failed to assess my strength correctly!"

"That sword... Vairocana should belong to me!"

"I am the master of Vairocana!"

"Why do you refuse to acknowledge my strength?!"

"Why don't you let me inherit your mantle?!"

"Why did you pass Vairocana to that Tachibana Ayaka?!"

"Is it because that Tachibana Aoto is stronger than me?!"

Prajna became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes were bloodshot and she glared at Qingdeng fiercely.

Boss Kiryu raised his eyes fearlessly and looked into Prajna's eyes openly.

"Yes, you're right."

"It is because Tachibana-kun is stronger than you that I passed Vairocana to him and regard him as my legitimate successor."

As soon as these words were spoken, Prajna immediately laughed out loud, "Hehehe", as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Boss Kiryu continued speaking:
"Also, when I say you're on the wrong track, it's not because you disagree with my assessment of your strength, nor is it because you tried to forcibly seize Vairocana in the first place."

"I can understand and forgive all of your actions."

"What I cannot tolerate is... you actually joined the Fazhu Party! Working for the Fazhu Party!"

Boss Kiryu lowered his eyelids, his facial lines suddenly tightened, and his cheeks were filled with a cold look.

"To be honest, after learning that you became a member of the Fazhu Party, I now understand how those parents feel when they find out that their children have become Yakuza."

"Compared to the Fazhu Party, I would rather you become a Yakuza!"

"Even if I don't need to introduce you, you should know what kind of organization the Fazhu Party is that takes human life lightly, right?"

After hearing this, Prajna raised her eyebrows in surprise, then laughed out loud towards the sky.

"What is it, Master? After all this time, you are so angry about this."

"Yes, I did join the Fazhu Party."

"But so what?"

"Whether the Fazhu Party is a friendly association that helps the needy or a den of evil, I don't care!"

"I admit that I tried to snatch Vairocana and leave my master. It was indeed an impulse and a hot-blooded attempt."

"However, thinking about it now, I am extremely glad that I made the decision!"

"It is because I left you that I discovered how vast the world is!"

"To be honest, I was too arrogant at the time. I even thought I was one of the strongest swordsmen in the world."

"It was not until I met Shuten-doji by chance that I realized how insignificant I was!"

"As for Otakemaru, whom I met later, he really opened my eyes!"

"He is obviously a person with a defective body, yet he possesses such terrifying power that is like a god!"

"These two are monsters among monsters! They are the real chosen ones!"

“I am deeply moved by their strength!”

"Compared to them, I'm still far behind! I can still become stronger!"

"I decided to join the Dharma Punishment Party just to be able to spar with Otakemaru and Shuten-doji all the time!"

"As long as I can become stronger, as long as I can become the strongest swordsman in a thousand years, let alone working for the Fazhu Party, I am willing to do anything!"

Boss Kiryu listened quietly without any reaction.

After Prajna finished speaking, he slowly said:
“…That’s exactly it.”

Prajna frowned:

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Prajna, this is exactly what makes me very disappointed."

Boss Kiryu cast a sharp, arrow-like gaze at Prajna, his eyes gleaming.

"Your eyes can only see yourself, obsessed with power."

"I thought that I could become stronger by improving my strength and agility and continuously improving my sword skills."

"But is this really the case?"

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still standing still."

"Kenji... No, Prajna! I can assert that you haven't become stronger!"

"You are no different now than you were back then! You are still so weak!"

The resounding and sonorous tone made the atmosphere on the scene stagnate.

Prajna stared at Boss Kiryu in a daze, her expression dominated by a strong sense of confusion.

Then, he sneered, and then laughed out loud like angrily:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

“I’m marking time?”

"I haven't become stronger?"

"Am I still that weak?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The woods were filled with Prajna's laughter, disturbing the wind.

After a while, Prajna gradually stopped laughing - at the same time, the confusion on his face gradually turned into resentment.

"Master, you really dare to say that."

"In the past few years, I have worked hard to cultivate and finally reached my current level."

"But in your words, I have ended up standing still?"

"In that case... Master, use your own body to actually feel whether my strength has increased!"

After saying that, he raised his left hand, pressed the scabbard of the sword at his left waist, and reached out to touch the hilt.

"Master, you came at the right time today."

"I just happened to bring my favorite sword with me this time!"

As he spoke, he raised his left thumb and pressed it against the guard of the sword. With a "clang" the sword was unsheathed, revealing a red copper latch.

Then, accompanied by the crisp sound of "clang, clang, clang", Prajna pulled out the knife inch by inch.

The blade reflected a clear cold light, and the creepy blade light wandered in the air and penetrated into the eyes of Boss Kiryu.

Mr. Kiryu, who came from the Yamada Asaemon family and had seen countless swords, immediately recognized what the sword was.

"Kotetsu?"

Prajna grinned:

"That's right! It's Nagasone Kotetsu! The genuine product forged by Nagasone Okisato himself!"

Naga-sone Okisato - the legendary swordsmith who made "Kotetsu" famous.

The "Nagasone Kotetsu" held by Kondo Isami is just a fake imitation of Kotetsu - although it is a fake, it still has extremely sharp lethality!

It is conceivable how terrifying the authentic Kotetsu would be.

"This sword was given to me by Yamata no Orochi as a gift after I agreed to join the Fazhu Party." "Master, you must be careful."

"The sword in my hand is a top-grade one among all the tiger cutters. Even if I fight against Vairocana, I will not be at a disadvantage!"

"Now that you have given Vairocana away, with that inferior sword at your waist, if you are not careful, you may end up with the sword destroyed and the person killed."

Boss Kiryu responded calmly:

"That won't bother you."

The next moment after he finished speaking, he also held the scabbard of the sword at his waist with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to draw the sword.

At the same time, his aura rose steadily as the blade gradually came out of its sheath.

While feeling the awe-inspiring aura emanating from Kiryu-sama, Hannya shouted excitedly:
"Master, although you look much older, your strength is still strong!"

"Ha, hahaha! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Ever since I left my master's sect, I have been thinking about fighting you again all the time!"

"Let me be frank with you. I will not show mercy to you just because you are old or because of our old relationship!"

Boss Kiryu held his head high:

"Don't worry, just use whatever tricks you have!"

"Today, let us, master and disciple, make a final decision!"

After shouting, he lowered his waist, held the knife with both hands, and assumed a unique Qingyan stance.

"Feiyan Zanshin Style"

"Yamada Asemon Yoshitsune!"

Upon seeing this, Prajna sneered and flexed the muscles of her shoulders and neck, then bent her waist like Boss Kiryu, holding the knife with both hands, and posing in a unique blue-eyed stance - the two of them had exactly the same knife-holding stance.

"Feiyan Zanshin Style"

"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi!"

The next moment, the two of them disappeared from where they were at the same time!
When they reappeared, the fallen leaves on the ground were blown up by the strong wind pressure caused by their running, and were flying all over the sky.

Prajna flashed in front of Boss Kiryu - and Boss Kiryu did the same.

Then there was a "whoosh" sound, and Chosone Kotetsu made a sharp and piercing sound and swept towards where Boss Kiryu was standing.

Boss Kiryu didn't even look at the path of the sword, he just dodged to the side and avoided the blade of Naga Sone Kotetsu.

The next moment, a silver light flashed from his armpit and whipped towards Prajna's chest like a whip!

clang!
Hannya quickly pulled the knife back to her hand and deflected Boss Kiryu's slash.

In a flash, the two of them rushed towards each other at the same time! Hand-to-hand combat!

Boss Kiryu chopped Hannya's shoulder.

Prajna lowered her body and chopped at Boss Kiryu's waist and abdomen with a downward configuration.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers danced between the two of them.

Compared to the speed of their swords, the wind blowing through the forest seemed a little slow.

Both of them came from the Yamada Asaemon family and both practiced the "Executioner Sword Technique", so their swordsmanship showed surprising similarities.

They were all so fast and so precise! They hit the vital parts of the human body without any error!

If you dodge too slowly or miss the attack, you will either die or be crippled!
Suddenly, the two of them stepped back at the same time, putting some distance between them.

They had fought so fiercely just now that it would not be surprising if someone was killed on the spot.

But now, after a closer look, he found that both of them were fine! No injuries or marks, not even a drop of blood on the ground, which was really amazing!
Prajna did not rush to attack again, but asked half jokingly and half impatiently:
"Master, why are you fighting so tamely? Where is your incredible breathing method?"

Boss Kiryu did not respond - to be more precise, he used "blade" instead of words.

He stood forward, moved rapidly, raised his knife and chopped. In the blink of an eye, the blade was in front of Prajna and hit Prajna's crown.

Prajna calmly adjusted her stance and lowered the blade. The next moment, she thrust the blade upwards! The blade was so powerful and fierce that it was far more powerful than Kiryu's slash!
With just one strike, he broke Boss Kiryu's sword.

As if being scalded by boiling water, Boss Kiryu leaned back, trying to move away from Hannya.

However, Prajna came close like a shadow, with great momentum, swung her sword forward, and pressed down on Boss Kiryu like a falling mountain, launching a continuous pursuit.

He first swung out a cassock slash - Boss Kiryu turned and dodged, and the blade of Nagasone Kotetsu brushed past his temple with a sound of wind.

Then, he adjusted the direction of the blade and slashed it upwards - Boss Kiryu dodged again and barely avoided this lightning-fast slash.

Before Prajna's attack ended, he quickly swung out the third sword - the previous move contained the necessary moves for the next one, and he pounced on Boss Kiryu like a collision, with the tip of the sword stabbing straight into his chest.

Boss Kiryu had no time to dodge and could only hold his sword in front of him and defend himself on the spot.

clang! !

The metal and iron collided heavily, shaking the air around them.

Although Boss Kiryu escaped unscathed, a small portion of his sleeve was cut off by the blade, and the torn sleeve hung limply.

After just a few rounds, the strength of the two was clearly determined.

Looking at the severed sleeve, Boss Kiryu lowered his eyelids, not knowing what to think.

At this time, Prajna laughed arrogantly:

"Hahahaha! Master, look! If you don't use that breathing method of yours, you're going to be defeated!"

Prajna said as he launched another surprise attack, rushing forward in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting again, going back and forth, neither giving an inch.

Although the two fought fiercely, anyone could see that Boss Kiryu had been suppressed, with fewer attacks and more defense.

While attacking fiercely, Hannya still had enough energy to focus her attention and shouted to Kiryu Boss:

"Master, I know what you are thinking!"

"You are just worrying about your own strength!"

"The 'selflessness state' consumes a lot of physical strength. Once you enter the 'selflessness state', your physical strength will be lost as fast as a flood!"

"Physical strength isn't really your forte."

"Now that I'm older, my physical strength is even worse!"

"If you rashly enter the 'selfless state' and fail to defeat me before your physical strength is exhausted, you will definitely lose!"

"You are reluctant to enter the 'selfless state' because of this concern. You plan to try my trick first, and then enter the 'selfless state' when you are sure of it, and kill me in one go."

"Although your idea is good, you overlooked one point: after several years of hard training, I am no longer the same person I was before!"

"Without the blessing of the 'selfless state', you would not be able to fight against me now!"

"If you keep going like this, you won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

After saying this, Prajna launched an even more fierce attack.

Horizontal chops, vertical cuts, diagonal sweeps... one move after another, leaving Boss Kiryu no chance to breathe!

"Come on! Master, quickly enter the 'selfless state'!"

"You are too weak right now! You can't arouse my interest at all!"

"Let's have a good fight!"

In an instant, he swung his knife forward, and the extremely sharp blade once again scratched Boss Kiryu's temples.

The next moment, Boss Kiryu jumped back like pulling up an onion in dry land, slightly away from Prajna.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Prajna who was coming towards him again relentlessly, as if thinking about something.

"Haaah!"

With a strange cry, Prajna aimed at Boss Kiryu's throat, and as she raised her hand, with a "swoosh" sound, the blade cut through the air.

The murderous intent and power contained in this attack must not be underestimated.

The strange thing is that the boss Kiryu at the moment did not react at all.

He just lowered his head, looking at his toes, his shoulders slumped naturally, and the knife in his hand dragged on the ground.

Due to the perspective, Prajna couldn't see the expression on Boss Kiryu's face at that moment.

Everything that happened next... all happened in an instant!
clang! !

The air was filled with the numbing sound of metal clashing against metal—Boss Kiryu swung his sword with one hand, the blade cutting through space, causing Chosone Kotetsu's sword to deviate and sweep in vain towards the empty air.

A moment ago, Boss Kiryu was still defending against Prajna's attack.

But at the next moment, he turned defense into offense! He transformed the action of putting away the knife into a slash! As fast as lightning, he struck at Prajna's right wrist!
The action was so fast that even Prajna's expression changed slightly.

Almost at the same moment when Boss Kiryu swung his knife to counterattack, Prajna did a somersault backwards as if by reflex and leapt to a place 5 or 6 meters away in one breath.

"... Prajna, do you want to see my 'state of no self'?"

Boss Kiryu said as he slowly raised his head.

"In that case, I will do as you wish!"

As he spoke passionately, Mr. Kiryu's gaze rose up and shot straight at Prajna - a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his aura changed significantly.

Prajna lowered his head and glanced at his right arm - although he had avoided the damage by leaping back just now, his clothes were torn, and half of his short sleeves hung down limply.

"Very good...that's how it should be!"

Prajna turned her head to look at Boss Kiryu and glared at him without fear.

"Now, the real 'master-disciple showdown' begins!"
