From one person to nine to five

Chapter 678 Takeda (2)

As the battle continued, both Xu Fu and General Takeda began to feel the other's strength and skill.

Although General Takeda's attack by using the cassock was cleverly resolved by Xu Fu, he was not discouraged. Instead, he analyzed Xu Fu's every move more calmly, looking for flaws.

General Takeda took another half step back. His eyes became sharper and his sword slowly slashed in front of him, as if drawing an invisible scroll.

Xu Fu knew that this was the prelude to General Takeda's next attack. He did not dare to be careless. He gripped his long spear tightly and tensed all the muscles in his body.

Suddenly, General Takeda rushed forward and swung his sword at an almost invisible speed. This time, his attack was no longer a single straight line, but drew a complex trajectory in the air. The blade of the sword left a series of afterimages in the air, as if countless swords were attacking Xu Fu at the same time.

Xu Fu swung his long spear again, and he used the "Luan Yun Fei Du" martial arts spear technique. The long spear drew complex trajectories in the air, forming golden clouds, trying to block the attack of General Takeda.

Every time the long spear was swung, it blocked the attack of the katana just right, but General Takeda's attack was like a tide, one wave after another, continuous and endless.

In this offensive and defensive battle, Xu Fu's long spear and General Takeda's long sword kept colliding, and each collision made a crisp metal collision sound.

While Xu Fu's long spear was blocking the attacks, he was also constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack, while General Takeda was constantly attacking, trying to find Xu Fu's flaws.

As the battle progressed, Xu Fu began to feel the pressure. General Takeda's attacks became more and more fierce. His sword seemed to have life, and every swing was full of changes and unpredictability.

Xu Fu knew that he could no longer passively defend himself and had to take action.

Xu Fu's long spear suddenly stopped swinging, and his body began to spin. The long spear spun with his body, forming a golden vortex.

This is the "tornado" in the "tornado" spear technique. Xu Fu concentrated all his internal strength on the long spear, forming a powerful vortex. The tip of the long spear in the center of the vortex was like a dragon's eye, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

General Takeda felt threatened by this force. He knew that this was Xu Fu's trump card. He could no longer passively defend himself and had to take action.

He took a deep breath, and the light on the sword grew stronger again. He was ready to use his strongest attack - the ultimate form of "Ichimonji Slash". This attack would concentrate all his internal strength and strive to kill with one blow.

Under the continuous attack of General Takeda, Xu Fu finally found an opportunity to counterattack. He took a deep breath, mobilized the internal strength of his body, and prepared to launch his counterattack.

Xu Fu's counterattack was the "thunderous force" in martial arts spearmanship. This move was like rolling thunder, unstoppable.

Xu Fu's spear suddenly stopped spinning, his body rushed forward, and the spear stabbed out at an almost invisible speed.

This attack, like a golden lightning, came with a sound of breaking through the air, and went straight to the heart of General Takeda.

Xu Fu's attack was not only a physical impact, but also a spiritual oppression. He required himself to concentrate all his will and strength on the tip of the long spear at the moment of stabbing.

General Takeda felt threatened by this attack, his eyes became sharper, and his sword quickly slashed in front of him, trying to block Xu Fu's attack with a variation of the Ichimonji Slash.

However, Xu Fu's long spear drew a strange trajectory in the air, cleverly bypassing the defense of the katana and heading straight for the vital points of General Takeda.

General Takeda reacted extremely quickly. He leaned his body back suddenly and avoided Xu Fu's long spear at an almost impossible angle.

While avoiding the attack, his sword quickly retreated and prepared to counterattack. However, Xu Fu's long spear did not stop. His long spear drew an arc in the air and attacked Takeda General again.

Xu Fu's long spear was like a flexible snake, constantly changing the angle and direction of attack. Each attack was full of changes and unpredictability.

General Takeda's sword was wielded more rapidly. He used a move called "Thousand Blade Wind Wall". The sword formed a blade of light in front of him, like a solid barrier, blocking Xu Fu's attacks one by one.

The battle between the two once again entered a white-hot stage, and every attack and defense was full of danger and opportunity.

Xu Fu's long spear and General Takeda's long sword kept colliding in the air, and each collision made a crisp metal collision sound.

Xu Fu swung his long spear again, this time using the follow-up move of "Thunderous Power" - "Thunder in the Nine Heavens". The long spear drew complex trajectories in the air, forming golden thunderclouds that swept towards General Takeda.

General Takeda used a variation of the "Ichimonji Slash" move with his sword, releasing streams of sword energy in an attempt to break through Xu Fu's thunderclouds.

Xu Fu found an opportunity in the fierce battle and decided to take a more proactive offensive.

After a clever dodge, Xu Fu kicked the ground hard and flew into the air like an eagle spreading its wings. The long spear in his hand drew golden tracks in the air, which was his unique martial arts spearmanship skill - "Thunder Bell".

In the air, Xu Fu's body spun, and the long spear spun with his body, forming a golden vortex.

The vortex continued to expand in the air, like a huge bell, and every rotation made a low roar like thunder.

Xu Fu's "Thunder Bell" is not only an attack, but also a deterrent. It produces strong vibrations in the air, making the opponent feel an invisible pressure.

Seeing this, General Takeda immediately realized the danger of this move.

He quickly retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Xu Fu, while his sword drew defensive tracks in the air, preparing to meet Xu Fu's attack.

General Takeda's sword was wielded more rapidly. He used a move called "Thousand Blade Wind Wall". The sword formed a blade of light in front of him, like a solid barrier, trying to block Xu Fu's "Thunder Bell".

Xu Fu was spinning faster and faster in the air, the tip of his long spear began to make a sharp whistling sound, and the entire battlefield was enveloped by this force.

When Xu Fu's body rotated to the highest point, he suddenly stopped rotating and thrust his long spear downward fiercely. This thrust concentrated all his internal strength, like a golden lightning, striking directly at General Takeda.

General Takeda swung his sword quickly, using the ultimate form of "Ichimonji Slash" to try to use this sword to block Xu Fu's "Thunder Bell".

The two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening roar, and the entire battlefield was shocked by this force.

Xu Fu's long spear and General Takeda's long sword crossed in the air, and the power of the two reached its peak at this moment.

Xu Fu's "Thunder Bell" formed golden lightning in the air, while Takeda's "Ichimonji Slash" was like a white lightning. The two forces intertwined in the air, forming a spectacular duel of light and shadow. As the two forces collided in the air, the ground of the battlefield began to shake, and the sand and dust were rolled up, forming a huge sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the specific situation of the battlefield.

When the dust gradually dissipated, Xu Fu and General Takeda reappeared on the battlefield. Xu Fu still held his long spear in his hand, but his clothes had been torn by the sword, and there were several scars on his body.

General Takeda still held his sword tightly, but cracks appeared on his battle robe and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

Under Xu Fu's "Thunder Bell" attack, General Takeda felt unprecedented pressure. But as an experienced samurai, he was not frightened by this force, but instead stimulated his deeper fighting instincts.

He decided to fight back, using Xu Fu's thunder power and displaying his own unique skills.

At the moment when Xu Fu's thunder power was about to touch him, General Takeda's sword suddenly rolled up, and he used a move called "Whirlwind Slash".

This move not only requires the warrior to have extremely high physical coordination and sword control, but also requires extremely strong internal strength support.

General Takeda's sword drew circular tracks in the air, as if forming a small whirlwind, which drew in Xu Fu's thunder power.

As the sword rolled, Xu Fu's thunder power was cleverly guided and transformed by General Takeda, becoming part of his attack.

General Takeda's sword suddenly paused while rolling, and then slashed out at an even faster speed. This slash contained the power of thunder and the destructive power of a whirlwind, forming a powerful slash that went straight towards Xu Fu.

Xu Fu's offensive in the air was interrupted by General Takeda's counterattack, and he had to adjust his offensive to cope with this sudden change.

Xu Fu's long spear drew a series of defensive tracks in the air, trying to resist the counterattack of General Takeda.

At this moment, his long spear seemed to have turned into a solid barrier, trying to block General Takeda's "Whirlwind Slash".

The two men's weapons collided again in the air, making a loud noise. Although Xu Fu's long spear successfully blocked Takeda's "Whirlwind Slash", his body was also shaken back by this powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

General Takeda did not miss this opportunity. He quickly followed up and swung his sword again, ready to give Xu Fu a fatal blow while he was still unstable.

The moment Xu Fu landed, he quickly adjusted his posture, swung his long spear again, and used the follow-up move of "Thunder Bell" - "Thunder in All Directions".

Although General Takeda's "Whirlwind Slash" was blocked by Xu Fu's "Thunder in All Directions", he did not give up.

He quickly adjusted his strategy and prepared to respond to Xu Fu's offensive with more sophisticated techniques.

General Takeda's sword suddenly stopped, and his body sank slightly, entering a state of almost stillness. The thunderous force of Xu Fu's long spear in the air seemed to feel an invisible pressure at this moment.

General Takeda stared at Xu Fu, and his sword began to slowly draw a circle in front of him. This was his unique skill - "Circle Dance Slash".

"Round Dance Slash" is a technique of using softness to overcome hardness. It uses the circular motion of the sword to dissolve the opponent's attack and counterattack at the right time.

While drawing a circle, General Takeda's sword began to absorb Xu Fu's thunder power and transform it into his own attack power.

Xu Fu felt the change in General Takeda, and he knew the power of this move, so he decided to change his strategy and no longer attack directly, but to adopt a more flexible fighting method.

Xu Fu's long spear drew a series of fake strokes in the air, trying to confuse General Takeda and find his weakness.

After drawing a circle, General Takeda's sword suddenly accelerated and slashed towards Xu Fu at an almost invisible speed.

This slash, like an arc, completely neutralized Xu Fu's long spear attack and went straight to Xu Fu's vital points.

Xu Fu reacted extremely quickly. At the moment when his long spear was about to be touched by the sword, he suddenly changed direction and deflected General Takeda's sword at a clever angle.

At the same time, Xu Fu's body quickly retreated, putting distance between him and General Takeda.

The battle between the two once again entered a delicate state of balance.

Both Xu Fu's long spear and General Takeda's katana exuded a compelling aura, and the eyes of both men revealed firmness and determination. They both knew that the upcoming battle would be more intense and more dangerous.

Xu Fu swung his long spear again, and this time he used another variation of the "Thunder Bell" - "Thunder Flash". A dazzling light suddenly emitted from the tip of the long spear, like a flash of lightning, piercing General Takeda's eyes.

This move is a form of psychological warfare, designed to disrupt the opponent's vision by causing him to lose his sight momentarily, thus giving him a chance to attack.

General Takeda's sword quickly returned to defense, and his body slightly turned sideways to avoid the direct light. At the same time, his sword drew a series of defensive tracks in the air, ready to meet Xu Fu's attack.

Although Xu Fu's "Lightning Flash" failed to directly hit General Takeda, it successfully disrupted his rhythm. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Fu quickly adjusted his position and prepared to perform his next move.

Xu Fu's spear suddenly became unusually calm. He squatted slightly, and the tip of the spear lightly touched the ground.

Although General Takeda avoided the direct light, his attention was still focused on Xu Fu's long spear, and he was wary of Xu Fu's next move.

Suddenly, Xu Fu's long spear was lifted up from the ground. This move was called "Earth Dragon Tumbling", a move in Xu Fu's martial arts spear technique, specially used for close combat.

The tip of the long spear drew a deep mark on the ground, then rose up at an astonishing speed, pointing directly at General Takeda's lower body.

General Takeda reacted just as quickly. He swung his sword downward and slashed at Xu Fu's long spear with a move called "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots".

This move was intended to use the weight and speed of the katana to push down Xu Fu's long spear, thereby defusing Xu Fu's offensive.

At the moment when Xu Fu's long spear was about to be pressed down by the sword, it suddenly changed direction, bypassed the attack of the sword at a strange angle, and continued to rise.
