I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 860 Master and Disciple Iai Slash, "Eternal Talent" activated! [4800]

Just like the previous Prajna, Qingdeng's "momentum" has undergone a qualitative change.

From a raging torrent to a calm, deep lake.

Although it won’t make people feel suffocated, it is daunting!
Prajna's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on her cheeks, as if she had seen something rare and precious that was rarely seen in the world.

Mr. Kiryu, who was not far away, was also unable to suppress the shock in his heart, and his expression was dominated by strong astonishment and surprise.

Leaving aside Boss Kiryu, Prajna quickly came to her senses - because a knife with purple light was coming towards her crown as fast as thunder!

Prajna's pupils shrank slightly, and her body responded before her brain could. She swung the knife upwards and knocked Vairocana away.

Qingdeng's offensive did not stop because of this.

His heels raised a light dust, his footsteps changed, his body and the knife in his hand sank together, and then like a waterfall flowing against the current, he bounced up with the knife and attacked Prajna's waist and abdomen.

laugh……

There was a slight sound of flesh tearing apart - Prajna was unable to dodge and a new, bloody wound appeared on her waist and abdomen.

Although not fatal, the wound, which was more than two inches long, looked particularly horrifying.

Using the momentum of her dodged movement, Prajna did several backflips, moving away from Qingdeng and creating some distance between them in one breath.

After he put his feet firmly on the ground, he immediately raised his head and glared at Qing Deng fiercely:

"It's really the 'selflessness realm'...!"

The speed of attack, the power of sword swinging, the agility of dodging... no matter from which aspect, Qingdeng is not inferior to the current Prajna.

There is no doubt that he has also comprehended this legendary realm of martial arts!

After a brief moment of shock, Prajna's facial expression gradually became complicated.

Resentment, hatred, annoyance, jealousy... most of human negative emotions can be found on his face.

He probably never imagined that the person he had always looked down upon, Tachibana Aoto, could actually break through himself in battle like him!

His jealousy and disgust towards Qing Deng had reached an extreme level.

"Hmph! That's fine too!"

After a while, he snorted coldly, his fighting spirit burning:

"As long as I defeat you, my strength will definitely reach a new level! Just become my nourishment!"

Qing Deng raised his head slightly, looking down at the other party with a boiling aura:

"Then what are you waiting for? Come over here quickly."

The two men simultaneously spread their legs and got into fighting stances.

The showdown between the "state of no self" and the "state of no self"... Such scenes are extremely rare even in the long history!
In the forest wind, the confrontation between the two sides made the air on the scene become extremely heavy, as if an invisible barrier was drawn, making irrelevant people dare not approach.

Two pairs of eyes that were also flashing with strange light filled the surrounding space with sharp sights that were quickly moving and fiercely confronting.

Prajna moved the tip of the knife in a slight provocation.

Qing Deng ignored him and remained motionless.

The opportunity to turn stillness into motion came extremely suddenly.

In an instant, the two men's swords made amazing movements!

Prajna attacked first, and her body rushed straight towards Qingdeng like a cannonball.

Qing Deng's knife rose up at lightning speed and hit Prajna's right wrist.

Prajna's moves are fake, and its deceptive moves are real.

He pretended to swing his sword, but in fact he just wanted to make Qing Deng reveal his weakness.

In a flash, he retracted his wrists and the blade with exquisite skills, causing Qing Deng to miss the target.

The next moment, he handed the knife forward, the sharp blade made a sound, and Chang Zeng Mihu Che drew a tricky arc in the air and hit Qing Deng's chest directly.

If it was just now, Qing Deng might not be able to withstand this attack.

And now-

clang! ! !
Qing Deng quickly pulled the knife back to his hand, steadied himself, and easily blocked the opponent's attack.

The two men's swords were pressed against each other as they competed with each other.

If you exert some effort, I will exert some effort in return.

Because their strength is equal, the two of them form a balance and neither can do anything to the other.

But if you look closely, you can see that they both cracked the ground beneath their feet, and their hind feet left a long groove like a shovel.

It is not difficult to imagine how much strength they exerted!

In an instant, Qing Deng suddenly released the force laterally, trying to use his specialty of "suddenly withdrawing force to make the person lose balance".

But who knew that Prajna would notice his intention first and unload the force in the same direction.

In this way, the two of them kept their swords crossed together and ran towards the east together.

In a moment, they left the clearing and entered a dense forest.

Looking around, dense tree trunks cut through the view.

Prajna seized the opportunity, pushed away Qingdeng's knife, and then launched a fierce stab.

Qing Deng turned and dodged, and Chang Zeng Mihu Che pierced the big tree behind him with great force, and the tip of the knife showed through as easily as piercing paper.

The next moment, Prajna shouted fiercely and exerted force horizontally. With a muffled sound, he directly cut the tree in half! Then he pulled the knife back to his hand without leaving any flaws.

The big tree fell down and the branches and leaves flew everywhere.

At this time, it was Qing Deng's turn to take the initiative.

He stepped back slightly, then rushed towards the opponent like an arrow, and launched a fierce attack immediately.

Prajna stretched out her arms and refused to give in.

Sometimes he defended, sometimes he dodged, and between the changes of his steps, he cleverly dissolved the opponent's attacks into nothingness.

Sometimes he slashed, sometimes he stabbed, and the surrounding environment had changed beyond all recognition, as if a typhoon had passed through!
The ground is full of potholes and dents.

Countless large trees were chopped into pieces, including some ancient trees that required several adults to hug.

There were loud shouts and the blades clashed with each other, making clanging sounds.

If someone who doesn’t know the situation saw this, they would probably think that there were two monsters wreaking havoc here!
……

……

Qing Deng had never experienced this feeling before.

The body is extremely light, and you hardly feel tired or pain, and your limbs are full of explosive power.

My concentration was terrifying. Even though there were countless thoughts in my mind and a lot of emotions surging in my chest, I felt calm inside and nothing could affect me.

This level of concentration is far beyond what the natural talent of "concentration" can match!
——Is this the “state of no self”…!
Although it is very different from the "invincible state" of seeing through the world that I accidentally encountered yesterday, it is equally powerful!
Only after experiencing it himself did Qing Deng finally understand why the "selfless state" is the lifelong pursuit of many warriors.

As his heart was pounding, Qing Deng became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and his sword energy surged!

……

……

Even at this moment, there was still a clear look of surprise on Mr. Kiryu's face.

Looking at Qing Deng who was in a close fight with Prajna, he somehow suddenly recalled the scenes when he was chatting with his old friends a long time ago -

……

"Jiulang, what does it feel like to 'take in a disciple'?"

Boss Kiryu looked at Kinoshita Lin with a strange expression.

"Hmm? Lord, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing, just a whim. I've never had an apprentice before, so I'm suddenly curious, what does it feel like to have one?"

As soon as Kinoshita Lin finished speaking, Makimura Yahachi beside him chuckled:
"Although I have never accepted an apprentice, I must be very pleased to see my beloved apprentice grow day by day."

Upon hearing this, Boss Kiryu nodded slightly:
"Indeed. It is very gratifying to see your beloved disciple become successful."

At this point, he paused and put on a calm smile:
"However, for me, the most gratifying thing in the process of training disciples... or the happiest thing is not when the disciples' growth is more in line with my expectations."

“It’s when the disciples’ growth surpasses my imagination.”

"It's a pity that up to now, Keji has not yet reached my standard."

"Perhaps one day in the future, Keji... or one of my new disciples, will be able to bring me this kind of happiness."

……

……

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The two's fighting power became evenly matched because they both entered the "selfless state". The continuous sound of steel swords hitting each other and the attack showing no signs of slowing down made people wonder whether the two of them would fight until the end of time.

At this moment, as if they had agreed in advance, the heels of both of them raised a light dust, as if they were scalded by boiling water, and they retreated at the same time, separating them by nearly 20 meters.

The reason they suddenly stopped was not because they were too exhausted to fight anymore.

None of them lack physical strength, and they all have the confidence and ability to fight another 300 rounds.

But... the knives in their hands could no longer hold out.

The attack was like a violent storm, causing serious damage to the swords of both sides.

Both Vairocana of Qingdeng and Changzeng Mihuche of Prajna were covered with scars at this moment.

The sharp edge is covered with notches of varying sizes, just like a saw.

Looking back, Qingdeng had used Vairocana to chop bones, stones, steel and other hard objects many times, and had even tried to chop a boat.

But no matter how it was tossed around, Vairocana remained as intact as new, without even a crack.

It was unexpected that a great sword of this rank could be damaged like this... You can imagine how terrifying the duel between Qing Deng and Prajna was!
This also indirectly proves that the authentic Naga Sone Kotetsu is indeed worthy of the reputation of "the Twelve Crafts of the Most Excellent Daiyōmono".

Qing Deng and Ban Ruo are both experienced and top swordsmen.

Just by the feel of the sword when swinging it, you can intuitively feel the condition of the sword in your palm.

Therefore, they all had the same conclusion at this moment: the blades in their hands had reached their limit! A few more rounds and they would break!

Without their knives, they would have no choice but to fight with their fists like primitive people.

"...Tachibana Aoto, it's time to fight it out!"

After shouting shrilly like this, Prajna slowly lowered her waist, turned her right wrist, grasped the handle of the knife upside down, and slowly put the knife back into the sheath with a "clang clang clang" sound.

"This is my strongest move... and it's also the last move my master taught me!"

"The secret of Hien Zanshin-ryu is also the secret of the sword drawing technique Liuguang - Setsuna!"

"I will fight with all my remaining strength and will!"

"Take this move from me if you have the guts!"

The sword had not yet been unsheathed, but the aura he created when he was gathering strength had already made Qing Deng's face sink.

While the knife is still intact and there is still some strength left, decide the outcome with one move - this is exactly what Qing Deng intends!
He did not answer out loud, but only responded silently with actions.

With a "click", Qing Deng pulled his left foot back, allowing his body to sink naturally, then turned his right wrist, changing his grip to a reverse grip, and then slowly put the knife back into the sheath.

The two people's movements were almost identical, like two sides of a mirror.

Looking at Qingdeng's actions, Prajna opened her mouth wide, revealing a twisted and excited smile.

"Very good! Just what I want!"

"Since we are brothers from the same sect, let us use the same moves to decide the winner!"

The more Prajna spoke, the more terrifying his expression became, and the more passionate and excited his tone became...or even crazy.

His facial features were extremely distorted, not like a human, but more like the ghost tattooed on his back.

"The final winner must be me!!"

"I will definitely defeat you! Prove to Master that I am the best successor to his sect!!"

The moment he finished speaking, a storm-like sword energy centered on him, just like natural trees emerging from the ground, constantly rising into the sky!

Moment...the ultimate mystery of flowing light.

Use all the strength in your body to rush towards the opponent as fast as possible, integrating muscle strength, your own weight and the potential energy of the charge to maximize the power of the strike.

The key to this move is whether you can maintain a stable sword-drawing posture while running at full speed, and whether you can draw the sword at the best moment in a split second.

Unfortunately... Qing Deng has not been able to fully master this move until now.

According to Boss Kiryu, Prajna had already mastered the flow of light and learned its secrets long before she betrayed her master.

Although Qing Deng has not personally witnessed Prajna's attainments in the art of sword drawing, judging from his impressive achievements of "defeating Souji" and "breaking Boss Kiryu's sword", his sword drawing skills have definitely reached the pinnacle of perfection!

What's more, when he subdued Souji and Boss Kiryu, he did not use "Setsuna", but just ordinary "Liuguang".

In this case, it is really hard to imagine how powerful the "moment" he launched in the "selfless state" would be...

Can he block Prajna's attack and defeat the enemy... To be honest, Qing Deng has no certainty in his heart.

——Only "Moment" can fight against "Moment"!
When he thought of this, Qing Deng lowered his eyelids, a stern look appeared on his face, and sword energy burst out.

You don’t need to try to know that “Liu Guang” can never compete with its profound meaning.

Even though he had never successfully used "Moment" before, at this point, he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Just when Qing Deng made up his mind and secretly gathered his strength... suddenly, he felt a warm breath coming from behind him.

"Jujun, calm down."

"Boss Kiryu...?"

Qing Deng subconsciously tilted his head and looked at Boss Kiryu behind him.

Boss Kiryu was seen supporting his weak body and standing right behind Qingdeng. His two broad hands stretched out from both sides of Qingdeng's body. His left hand was resting on the sheath of Vairocana, and his right hand was lightly covering the back of Qingdeng's right hand which was holding the knife.

"Don't let up, your opponent hasn't fallen yet, go and see your opponent."

Upon hearing this, Qing Deng immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Prajna opposite him again.

The master and the disciple stood in a "back to chest" position, posing the same Iai stance, and looked straight at Prajna who had turned into a demon.

"Jujun, you don't have to worry too much."

"Winning or losing, success or failure, all are forgotten."

"Follow your heart and swing the sword according to your own ideas."

At this point, Mr. Kiryu smiled peacefully.

"Let this evil ghost who can only focus on himself see how powerful we are when we join forces as master and disciple."

"Don't worry, I'll always be behind you."

After hearing this, Qing Deng felt a peaceful expression on his cheeks and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

I saw him slowly closing his eyes... When he opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to have been cleansed, just like the clear sky after the rain.

The subtle changes in Qingdeng's body were clearly reflected in Prajna's eyes.

Until just now, the guy in front of me had always exuded a sense of anxiety, giving people a sense of instability and restlessness, but after this moment, all of it disappeared.

Qing Deng felt as if he was standing in a quiet space with no breeze and nothing in it.

This feeling...is really long gone.

During his duel with Rakshasa, he once experienced such a state, where his mind and body completely turned into clear and transparent nothingness.

Apart from the knife in his hand, he could not feel anything else.

Looking at Qing Deng and Boss Kiryu standing in front and behind, holding the same knife in the same Iai stance, Hannya fell into a brief daze.

He suddenly felt his vision blurry... He saw that Boss Kiryu had changed.

The white hair gradually turned black and turned into shiny black hair in the blink of an eye.

The wrinkles that once covered the skin disappeared.

His figure is no longer skinny, and his brows are filled with majestic and heroic spirit.

The old man was gone...standing there was a young swordsman in his prime!

With an expression dominated by intense shock, Prajna could not help but whisper the name that once intimidated both the enemy and me:
“Liu Guang… Hachiman…!”

At this moment, the knife on Qingdeng's waist emitted a cold light.

At the same moment, Qing Deng's eyes emitted an extremely dazzling light like the morning star at night!

Boss Kiryu seemed to sense something and gently let go of the knife he and Qing Deng were holding.

"Jujun, come on."

he said softly.

The next moment... Qing Deng stood in front of Prajna, ready to swing the sword.

Behind him was a series of footprints and light dust kicked up.

A line of blood appeared on Prajna's chest, rapidly deepening, and finally breaking open like a shell, with blood raining down.

In the bloody rain, Qing Deng murmured word by word:
"Secret... Setsuna!"

Although it was only a moment, Prajna indeed saw it - the profound meaning of the flowing light, "moment", and the boundless Hachiman!
