Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 222 Confrontation
Swordsmen are also very particular about duels, and they always need all kinds of situations as assistance to build up enough emotions and fighting spirit.

Swordsmen duel, either on the Jieshi where the waves hit the shore, or in the red land where the maple leaves are falling, or in the snow-covered snow, or in the quiet and unusual kendo venues.

The river ridge next to the river is very open, there is nothing blocking the line of sight, and it is clear at a glance.

They had already stopped on a stone bridge at this time. The bridge was about ten meters long and five meters wide.

Directly in front of Amamiya Mahiru's 'line of sight', the boy gave her the feeling that he didn't look like a person at all, but like a tiger.

It was not a hungry and thirsty tiger going down the mountain, but a young and strong tiger that was growing and didn't know how sharp its fangs were.

His fighting spirit is high.

In the perception of Okita Souji, this blind girl is also very dangerous. She feels more ethereal and illusory, just like the rumored monster of Momiji Kari, with beautiful appearance and gorgeous clothes , but he is an out-and-out ogre, every frown, smile, and every move is dangerous enough to be fatal.

Can't see through the opponent's intentions, this is an opponent he has never seen before.

Standing on the bridge, the two of them formed a wonderful picture scroll with the flowing river below and the quietly standing bridge. The upper part with the bridge deck as the dividing line kept quiet, but under this quietness, there was a turbulent rush. The river, the waves slapping the river bank, the water waves are rolling, just like the emotions squeezed in the hearts of the two swordsmen, only waiting for a thunder to light them up.

Before the sword light erupted, the sound of the wind seemed so depressing.

So in this waiting that made people sweat profusely, have difficulty breathing, and exhausted heartbeat, even God couldn't stand it, and finally promised a sting.

With a roar, the thunder that tore through the sky illuminated the sky and the earth for a moment like daytime.

When the command sounded, the owners of the two knives also broke out at an unprecedented speed. The clothes were pulled by the strong wind pressure, the sleeves and feathers fluttered, and the clothes at the front were clinging to the skin. The speed was unbelievable. Find out who is better.

From Bai Yu's point of view, there is no doubt that the talented swordsman Okita Souji in the test guard hall is faster. It is not his sword that is faster, but his people.

Footwork and shrinking ground.

The boy's body seemed to lose weight at that moment, and there were no signs of cracks on the ground, but he himself was ejected like a fully charged spring... This is undoubtedly an extremely high-end footwork.

Bai Yu subconsciously activated her extraordinary skills, trying to see through the melody on the opponent and reproduce this unique tune.

Two knives collided on the bridge dizzyingly, and more than one knife.

Both sides are not swordsmen who are good at physical fitness, so they don't choose to bet all their strength on the first strike. It's good to break all kinds of tricks with one force, but it's a pity that they can't learn it.

The cross cut met the upper and lower combos, and neither of them could get any better. The moment the swords and lights intersected, they also switched positions.

While the sleeves of the two sides were flying, they changed positions twice in a row. When they separated again, the weapons in the hands of the two were actually switched.

From Bai Yu's point of view, he still couldn't fully see what happened, because his attention was all on Okita Souji's legs.

However, Amamiya Mahiru was very clear about what she had done, and she was also aware of the opponent's counterattack method. At first, she hooked Okita Souji's arm and dragged the distance suddenly, trying to suppress the opponent's speed with the locking technique, but Okita Souji also reacted very quickly. When the arm was caught, he had already produced a reverse grip weapon, so that the Taidao would be close to the forearm and become a weapon that could be killed at a short distance.

Before the knife slashed Nakamiya Mahiru, she cut off the attacking route, and the two sides continued to fight, this time trying to clasp the wrist joints, and both of them finally completed an extremely thrilling close-range knife grab, which can be said to be fruitful. Small, but at the same time lost his saber.

Amamiya Mahiru swung California Kiyomitsu uncomfortably, this knife is too heavy.

"Do you want to change it back?" Okita Souji asked politely.

"Okay." She agreed.

Both sides threw their own knives at the same time, passed alternately in the air, and chased the knives before the blade landed, and launched another attack.

This time when she attacked Amamiya Mahiru, she still used the most familiar offensive stance, but the next moment she felt it was effective, she immediately changed the way of the sword, avoiding the opponent's direct blow to the vital point, and was startled... It took only one time. Be seen through?

She opened her sky eyes, followed the opponent's sword path with all her energy, and made two precise cuts. At this time, her sword was just in the middle defensive position, so she took a heavy step and exerted force forward.

When reaching the knife, Amamiya Mahiru noticed that the opponent's strength was obviously insufficient... Presumably, the opponent was not tall and although his speed was amazing, his strength was still not as good as hers.

In Fusang, which is generally short-legged, Amamiya Mahiru's height of nearly 1.7 meters is considered tall for both men and women, which also means that she has a few kilograms more muscles than ordinary 1.6-meter-five people.

Director Okita resolutely did not accept the counter pressure of the sword. He was very clear that his strength lies in swordsmanship. He decisively pulled back the distance, slid sideways, stepped on the stone bridge guardrail, and turned back again with force, like a catapulted tennis ball, This kind of miraculous footwork and exquisite power control makes his legs like springs. He does not need to consume too much physical energy, but he can maintain an amazing speed throughout the story.

Amamiya Mahiru saw red on her shoulder, and at the same time as the bright red bloomed, she also threw the Kuaiyu knife directly, and the blade swirled in mid-air, almost brushing the tip of Okita Souji's nose.

Okita Souji had to lower his body and lean back, almost sliding his back and knees against the ground to avoid the flying knife this time.

What Amamiya Mahiru was waiting for was that when his speed slowed down, he firmly grasped the opponent's wrist and used his strength to throw him over the shoulder.

Xinyinliu No Knife Take!
Wudao Take is a hand-to-hand fighting technique in the Yagyu Shinin-ryu. The Yagyu Shinin-ryu is the most famous branch of the Shinin-ryu. The founder, Yagyu Zongyan, is a swordsman but often travels without a knife. He can face the sword-wielding man Seizing the sword and defeating him shows his state of mind as a swordsman but does not hone his sword skills by killing people.

Amamiya Mahiru has also learned many fighting skills that she did not know before in the training of the dragon vein world, and there are also a lot of unarmed fighting skills in the innocent way of passing on the incense and the Shinto... Especially the Wudao take, which she learned The essence of it, so Okita Souji couldn't react.

The genius swordsman has never been taken away from the weapon. He is too fast, and the knife is very dangerous. Who would dare to take such a risk to come up and grab the knife?

So when he was taken by Wudao and fell to the ground, California Qingguang was almost taken away.

The reason for not being able to take it away is also very simple, because Amamiya Mahiru was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have touched something just now, so her reaction was slow, and she couldn't immediately hold the opponent's finger to let him release the sword.

Director Okita kicked the ground, and slid out like a loach, slapping the ground and bouncing as a jump and chop.

Amamiya Mahiru counterattacked with a knife, and the ground of the bridge suddenly rose and fell with blue stones.

Director Okita didn't understand. He lost his weapon just now and failed to grab the knife. Where did she come from?
Naturally, Amamiya Mahiru would not answer, and tried to repeat the same trick, throwing the weapon again, and the Kuaiyu knife flew.

Okita Souji would not be fooled again, he decisively opened the distance, and slashed the blade on the ground, like using a pole vault, such an eclectic way of using the sword fully demonstrated his flexible and changeable swordsmanship.

At the same time, the boy also saw clearly how Amamiya Mahiru retrieved the sword.

Rather than fetching it back, it is better to say that it flew back by itself.

The knife swirls from the right hand side to the left hand side, and then from the left hand to the right hand.

Hand knife + back turning knife.

Director Okita asked strangely: "How did you learn swordsmanship that you have never seen before?"

In the eyes of the Fusang swordsman, the Lishou sword is a big treason... How can the sword leave the arm and fly around?

Even at the third and fourth levels of extraordinary, they still slash one by one, instead of thinking about letting the sword fly out to take people's heads.

But Amamiya Mahiru is different, her Lishou Dao is a new move learned from Dragon Vessel World.

Letting weapons go is a big taboo, especially at low levels, so the timing of using the Lishand Saber is very strict. She just uses it as a kind of cover-up, and doesn't expect to use it to kill the enemy at all.

"It's just Daxia's swordsmanship, haven't you seen it?" Amamiya Mahiru said indifferently: "Flying a sword three thousand times, swinging a sword like rain, flying a sword thousands of miles, and taking people's heads is the best swordsmanship."

A bit of sarcasm and arrogance could be heard in her words, as if she was despising the other party as a country bumpkin.

Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh...Jing Xia is really bad.

The attitude of Okita Souji seemed to be disapproving: "Swordsmanship is just a way to kill people. How can there be any difference between superior and inferior?"

Amamiya Mahiru was at a loss for words for a moment, she was silent for a moment, and slowly read: "Perhaps you are right... In our hands, swords are just weapons for killing, and skills exist to fight... As long as Fusang's The world is still like this, maybe no matter what, the knife cannot be put away, and it will always kill people."

Director Okita narrowed his eyes: "You are not the same as other murderers, they are either screaming loudly and hysterical about their grievances; they are either indulging in power, or they are fighting for interests... But you are always calm, you are different from them, if you insist..."

He thought for a while, pointing to himself: "It's a bit similar to me."

"You?" Amamiya Mahiru asked.

"I like swordsmanship, but I don't like killing people very much. It's just that there is no way. The responsibility of the Shinsengumi is to guard the safety of one side, so I have to be ruthless."

Okita Souji seemed to be talking to himself: "Actually, I don't care about the shogunate and the Onmyo family at all, and I don't understand those things. What I care about... is just Boss Kondo and the others; this is my happiness."

"What about you?"

"What is your happiness? And what are you swinging your sword for?"

Listening to the words of the executioner who had beheaded nearly a hundred people but was able to maintain a pure smile, Amamiya Mahiru was silent for a moment, and whispered: "It seems that you will not let me go."

"Of course, that's where the responsibility lies." Director Okita smiled sweetly.

Amamiya Mahiru stroked the blade with her fingers, and said, "It turns out that my life will be easier than yours, at least I don't have to hide anything."

"Women don't make warriors."

"Wouldn't it be hard for you to live like this?"

Okita Souji knew that his identity had been found out, but he didn't panic. He stretched out his hand and tore off the loose white bandage from the inside of Haori. No matter what is difficult, everyone will cover for me."

"It's a pity, if it weren't for this identity, maybe we would be friends." Amamiya Mahiru picked up the scabbard, feeling somewhat regretful that she didn't know the truth.

"It's not too late to be friends now." Okita Souji's smile was still innocent.

"It's obvious that they are going to fight until one side falls down?"

"Yeah!" She nodded seriously, not joking at all.

"Are you crazy?" Amamiya Mahiru breathed out a mouthful of white mist.

"Hahaha, people often say that, but I'm serious... Life and death are warriors and swordsmen, so we should live frankly and honestly every moment!"

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

Both sides are accumulating energy, waiting for the moment when the fire bursts out.

Okita Souji had already taken off his shoes, and stepped on the stone bridge with his two fair feet.

Bai Yu, who was watching the battle, felt inexplicably familiar with her starting posture.

Boom——!There was another crash of thunder.

The thunder light fell on the side of the river ridge at an extremely short distance, and the entire river was passed by the current, and the river surface was completely white in an instant.

The two knives interlaced, like immortals fighting on the Milky Way.
