death of hope

Chapter 808: Wild Growth (224) Overlord Cuts the Mountain

"Boom~~"

The sound of gongs echoed in the stadium and the showdown began.

The monk wearing a cassock and wooden clogs holds the end of the gun barrel, choosing a more aggressive offensive grip, giving full play to the advantage of long-handled weapons: "an inch longer, an inch stronger."

The female warrior in a well-dressed suit drew her sword from its sheath with a "clang" sound, and held the hilt with one hand, sacrificing the length for ultimate balance and control. Her palm was pressed against the hilt, and her other hand was spread out, ready to grab the incoming gun barrel at any time.

Kurosawa Igarashi took the lead, exerting force with both arms and shouting;
"Poison Dragon Thorn!"

The tip of the gun stabbed towards the heart, and the polished gun head dragged out a dazzling silver light.

The female warrior dodged sideways, and the tip of the gun just missed the vital point by grazing the button of her suit.

Just as she was about to swing her knife in counterattack, the other party turned the handle of his gun and retracted the tip of the gun. The crossbar of the crossbow lightly scratched the sleeve of her suit.
The female warrior felt a chill on her left arm, and then she felt pain. Blood stained the cuff of her shirt and dripped onto the ground.

Fortunately, this cut only broke the skin and did not injure the tendons and veins, so it would not affect her ability to move.

(What a fast gun!)

Saito was shocked. She knew the opponent was strong, but she didn't expect him to be so strong.

(This monk controls the spear as swiftly as if he were using a dagger. It's outrageous...)
·
Blood was shed after the first round of fighting, and the huge gap in their strength was obvious.
Kurosawa Igarashi was not excited about this, after all, the gap between the two sides' reputations was too big.

As the abbot of a temple and a master of a sect,

In a duel with an unknown person who came from a self-taught background, had no school, and had to learn skills from masters everywhere, it would be a shame for him if he let the other party last too long.

"Sister A-Lin! Be careful!"

Chen Hong covered her face with her hands, unable to bear to look, and looked at the scene through her fingers with trembling eyes.

Yamagami Tetsuya frowned, "Not good, he got hurt right after the fight."

Chen Xing crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a relaxed look:

"The monk used the Japanese 'cross spear', also known as the 'ten-character spear'.
It is similar to the "镋" among the eighteen weapons in Chinese martial arts.

Its design concept is similar to that of weapons such as "halberd", "fork" and "rake", all of which are to increase the killing surface and blocking surface.

In terms of length, the "cross spear" is not as good as the long spear, but it has the advantage of being able to stab and block, and it has both advantages and can be used for multiple purposes.

Especially in open areas, a cross spear master can suppress single-handed weapons such as single swords, hand axes, hammers, and short staffs. "

Yamagami Tetsuya glanced sideways and said, "In that case, Sister A-lin's weapon is at a great disadvantage, isn't it?"

"Not only is the weapon at a disadvantage, Sister Lin's understanding of martial arts, proficiency, speed, and techniques are also at a disadvantage. The only advantage she has is her strength.

If we keep fighting like this for another ten rounds, Sister A-Lin might lose her life."

"Ah Xing, you can still laugh, you must have some secret weapon to win."

"Hehe, Sister A-Lin didn't go to our Chenjia Village for tourism~" Chen Xing said with a smile:
"She really practiced hard for two years, in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, doing horse stance, stepping on plum blossom piles, lifting stone mills... She practiced all the classic exercises~
Although time is limited and I have not yet mastered the essence of Chinese martial arts, my means of dealing with long-pole weapons are still sufficient.

My master said that A-Lin is the most talented non-Chinese disciple he has ever seen.

Of course, in terms of talent, you are still far behind a genius like me~"

·
As they were talking, the two of them had fought for more than twenty moves.
The Cross Spear seemed to come alive in Kurosawa Igarashi's hands, like a sleek python.
It was agile and elegant, swift and fierce, with twists and turns that made the audience dizzy. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miraculous skill.

The basic skills were too poor. Saito Rinrinka's arms, thighs, and shoulders were cut by the side branches of the spear blade.

All she could do was to dodge the opponent's fatal stab and struggle to find an opportunity.

There were many masters in the field, and Kurosawa Igarashi wanted to show off his skills to spread the reputation of his school.

The master-level fighter performed various moves like a dance, sometimes stabbing with his backhand, sometimes spinning like a windmill, and within three moves, he had cut the opponent's calf.

Seeing that the female warrior had more and more wounds on her body, the audience felt that she would not last more than five minutes.

"Sister Alin! Hold on!" Chen Hong covered her eyes and dared not to look.

"That big monk got cocky and started showing off his skills." Chen Xing said softly:
"It's time, Sister A-Lin, give that bald donkey some Chinese martial arts shock~"

·
The situation in the arena changed, and the audience all exclaimed: "What kind of move is that?!"

"Oh oh!" Yamagami Toru clenched his fists excitedly; "The counterattack has begun!" Saito Rinrinka no longer used the Japanese swordsmanship, and suddenly used the "Single Sword Breaking Spear" technique from the "Chen Family Swordsmanship".

With her strong physical strength, she used the thick-spine samurai sword as a light and thin "single sword".

The characteristics of this set of swordsmanship are short, powerful, flexible and changeable;
The moves are head-wrapping, flipping, chopping, sweeping, hanging, stabbing, supporting, wiping, and picking.
The defense was impenetrable, and he rushed forward to threaten the opponent's close range and switched to the offensive.

Kurosawa Igarashi danced and rolled back, dodging and moving, deftly resolving the counterattack. He shook his gun, stood still and smiled:

"Is this true?"

(Finally, you're showing off your real skills?)
At this time, Saito Rinrinka was already covered in bruises, and the risk of shock and coma due to excessive blood loss was gradually increasing. She didn't have much time to turn the situation around.

"Oh my god, this monk is so damn strong!" Chen Xing exclaimed: "He can even dissolve the 'single sword breaking gun' technique!"

Tetsuya was completely at a loss, and said in panic, "Sister A-Lin is dying, she's lost too much blood, I'm going to throw in the towel and surrender!"

"Wait a minute, young master." Chen Xing grabbed Tetsuya's arm that was holding the white towel:

"There are more weapons that can break guns than just single swords~"

"What do you mean? If you don't surrender, A-Lin will be in danger!"

Yamagami Toru was extremely anxious, fearing that his companions, who were as close as family to him, would die under the crossbow guns in the next second.

·
Saito Rinrinka was scratched in the abdomen by the side branch of the spear again, and cursed loudly:
"Chibirova! The Bishamonten enshrined in your house is a false god!"

(Bald donkey! The Bishamonten King worshipped in your temple is a false god!)
Hearing that the god he believed in was being humiliated, Kurosawa Igarashi instantly flew into a rage, with veins bulging:

"Aaaaa! Bakayarou! I'm going to hell!"

(Ahhh! You bastard! Go to hell!)

Kurosawa Igarashi aimed at the heart, shot out like a dragon, and concentrated all his strength into this stab.

The furious monk was distracted and didn't notice that the other party quietly changed the way he held the knife;

Saito Rinrin held the hilt of the katana with both hands and used the 'katana' as a 'nine-ring broadsword'.

From the quick and agile one-handed knife grip, it became the powerful and strong two-handed knife grip.

Saito endured the severe pain all over her body, slid to avoid the gun tip, and moved to the most advantageous distance for her.
Kurosawa cried out that something was wrong, and with his superb skills he was able to retract the dragon-like force of the spear and held the spear across his body for defense.

Saito's leg muscles were released like a fully charged bowstring, and he jumped high.

During the two years she spent at Chen's martial arts school, this move left the deepest impression on her.
Her mentor Chen Jiajun described this move as follows: This is the martial arts of the emperor, open and aboveboard, great wisdom but seemingly foolish, great ingenuity but not artificiality.

Absolute power, the will to sacrifice one's own life, the aura to split the mountains apart...

This is exactly what she was looking for, and she spent a lot of time practicing this move.

Saito Rinrinka had no intention of leaving herself any escape route;
(Win...or Die...)
She drained the remaining strength from every muscle and hysterically shouted out the name of this move:

"The Overlord Kills Yue!"

The evil sword 'Seven-pointed Buddha' cut through the flexible spear shaft, and the remaining force was still fierce, immediately cutting through the cassock, monk's robes, rosary, skin, muscles and bones...

In an instant, the female warrior surpassed her limit.

The power of this slash is even stronger than the secret technique of the swordsman Shimazu Seiichiro that appeared before, "Lion Ink Splashing".

Kurosawa Igarashi was cut into two parts diagonally. His upper body slid down, and his legs fell down after a few seconds. His sticky internal organs were scattered all over the ground...

Saito Rinrin was dyed red by the splattering arterial blood, looking like a ferocious evil ghost that had just crawled out of the gates of hell.

She bowed deeply to the remains of the monk;
"Thank you for your teachings, Master... The duel with you has elevated me to a new level..."

After the ceremony,

Saito used the handle of the knife as a crutch, limping towards the cheering Tetsuya and others. Chen Hong hugged her and burst into tears:

"Sister A-Lin... just now... I thought I was going to lose you..."

·
Crews entered the site and began clearing the wreckage.
The host Kondo Yae then reacted;
"The fourth round of the trial by combat,

Representative of Sannokai,
Saito Rinrin won!
Kyokushin Group Representative,
Kurosawa Igarashi,
Defeat and death!"
