Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 99: Slashing? I can do that too.

"Feng Mang" is generally used to describe the sharpness of a sword, and when used to describe a person, it usually means to praise that person's talent and courage are as blinding as a sword.

It’s just that even with such a commendatory word, sometimes it depends on the person and the occasion. It’s not always used to praise someone.

For example, when it comes to micro-managing the army in a war, the principal and the teacher often express two extreme meanings when using this word.

Just like now, when Wang Yi casually treated the young people of the eight countries as chickens, he was at least one generation older than Wang. As the head of the famous Yagyu Shinkage-ryu in Japan, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami neither warned in advance nor said that he would be punished. Just when everyone was amazed at Wang Yi's unfathomable methods, he suddenly swung out an Iai sword.

Moreover, the attack happened when Wang turned his back to them and was looking at the clock tower scenery in the embassy area. This was a blatant sneak attack and it was not a martial ethics!
Especially the power of this slash, cutting off a lamppost is nothing, any swordsman who practices Qi can do it. But looking at the buildings on both sides of the embassy block, there is a bright gap on the wall extending to the other end of the block, and you can understand how powerful this slash is.

Wang Yi was so bold and reckless. If this move was used on anyone present, the younger generation would be cut in half, and the older generation would at worst have their arms broken.

For a cultivator, if his arm is broken, half of his cultivation would be wasted.

Not to mention that the people are dead. No matter how much they want to stand up for Wang, he has the support of the Japanese embassy. Marshal Zhang himself has dirty dealings with the Japanese. It's nothing more than courting disaster for both sides.

I will not fall out with the Japanese Embassy over a dead man, because a dead king is not as important as a living king.

But all this is based on the premise that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's sneak attack and Iai-slash success was successful.

Did Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami's surprise attack succeed? It did, but not completely.

In fact, after Yagyu Tajima-no-kami had swung this powerful slash, he realized something was wrong when he saw Wang Yi turned around and faced him as if nothing had happened, with only his long gown torn and a wound on his right arm.

The reason why he launched this sneak attack, and even the fatal blow to Wang Yi, was simply because the talent and cultivation displayed by Wang Yi were too amazing, and too dangerous.

Even if such a powerful alien was placed on the front battlefield, it would be hard to say whether they could be defeated unless the military provided a regiment with the alien's lives to fill the gap.

If possible, Wang Yi should be beheaded here, so that it will not affect the future plans of the empire!

But if he cannot kill him, then he will have to admit defeat. He, Yagyu Tajima, is betting that the king of gamblers will not dare to kill him.

Because here, in this embassy world, killing someone like him who represented the Japanese embassy would mean going to war with Japan. For a country with undercurrents at the moment, Wang Yi could not afford to take this risk.

So the old Japanese soldier simply ignored Wang Yi's words which were praise but criticism in disguise, and calmly put away his knife. He then gave Wang Yi a 90-degree bow, which was a must for all Japanese.

"Red Bean Paste Private Maisai! Lord Wang Yi, your strength forces me to risk my lifelong inability to swing a sword against you. Only in this way can I continue to improve my martial arts."

Listen, this damn old Japanese talks about the sneak attack in such a grand way, as if Wang Yi is too strong and that caused him to have the shadow of swinging the knife.

Wang Yi turned around with a smile and faced the old Japanese soldier who bowed to him at a 90-degree angle. As he turned around, the wound on his arm healed as before under the silent operation of the Three Levels of Reverse Life, and even the blood was sucked back.

"Master Yagyu, I remember that in your place, the best way for a so-called swordsman to improve his swordsmanship is to compete with a swordsman of equal skill, right? In that case, let me help you."

Yagyu Tajima no Mori, who was bowing 90 degrees, felt an alarm bell ring in his heart when Wang Yi said this. He stood up like a spring and drew out the sheathed samurai sword in his hand with the help of muscle memory to block in front of him. A slash that was no less powerful than the one he had just swung hit his blade, and the force contained in it pushed him back continuously, making him stagger.

A fingernail-sized gap appeared on the blade of the samurai sword that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami had been nurturing with true qi for many years.

The scabbard shattered, and a gap was cut on his beloved sword that had been nurtured with true Qi for many years. This made Yagyu Tajima no Kami heartbroken, but he was more worried at the moment.

Because the previous slash seemed familiar to him, it was the slash he had just prepared for a sneak attack on Wang Yi. However, as he looked at Wang Yi who was smiling at him, he just raised his right hand with his five fingers spread out and pushed forward. He didn't understand how Wang Yi could have made a slash similar to his own.

He didn't understand, and the people watching didn't understand either.

Because in the eyes of others, Wang Yi just raised his hand and pushed forward after saying that. Then, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami didn't even pull out his sword like a frightened old rabbit, holding the sheathed samurai sword upright in front of him. Then the sheath broke, and the whole person kept retreating, staring at Wang Yi with that old bark face, and the whole person was not right.

Wang Yi really likes the current expression of Yagyu Tajima no Kami. Yes, he can't kill people here in front of the ambassadors of eight countries, but sometimes killing is not the only way to destroy a person. Killing someone destroys their heart, and he is very familiar with this!
He walked towards the horrified Yagyu Tajima no Kami step by step. It was obvious that the old devil was doubting his life at the moment because of Wang Yi's unknown slash. He couldn't understand how Wang Yi, a young Chinese alien in front of him, who should be classified as a so-called sudoku, a powerful practitioner similar to their Shintoism, could swing the Iai slash that only their swordsmen could do.

"The so-called sword energy and slashing, in my opinion, is nothing more than a skill that is close to Taoism after constant practice by a swordsman or a knifeman. Then through one's own understanding of the way of cultivation, it is an action that is swung towards the target with all one's strength. Since it is an action, it contains force. Since it is force, it should be controlled, absorbed, and simulated by my inverted eight-direction force field..."

Having said that, how could Yagyu Tajima no Kami not understand that the blow Wang had just launched was the one that caused his failed sneak attack!
He, Wang Yi, used the most basic Eight Directions Reversal to not only block the slashing attack from Yagyu Tajima no Kami, but also absorbed the force of the slashing attack and replicated it exactly one to one!
"If you want to improve your swordsmanship, the most important thing is to challenge your limits. Master Yagyu, do you have enough reserves of slashing blows?"

Wang Yi put his fingers together to form a sword and swung it several times at Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami.

It was a one-to-one replica, and the slash without any force leaked out was slashed towards Yagyu Tajima no Kami, invisible and intangible, but full of murderous intent. The samurai sword was swung out, constantly blocking this invisible and intangible slash, and every slash made Yagyu Tajima no Kami terrified.

The Iai Slash is all about building up momentum and timing. You can't just chop whenever you want. Also, it's impossible for every Iai Slash to have the same force. There will always be a time when the force decays.

But none of the slashes that Wang Yi replicated at this moment were weakened. They had the same power and speed.

But Wang Yi had just reminded him that every slash he received at this moment was just the force of his Iai Slash. Since it was force, it could be enhanced. He could block his own Iai Slash, but could he block the Iai Slash with upgraded power?

He won't know the answer, but Wang Yi will tell him with facts.

'clang! ’

The sound of the blade breaking was crisp and pleasing to the ears. The beloved sword in Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's hand, which had been with him for many years, could not bear the heavy burden after catching Wang Yishi's repeated slashes, and broke with a sound. The broken part was where the notch of his sword guard had been before.

The breaking of the long sword caused Yagyu Tajima-no-kami to lose consciousness for a short time, and Wang Yi had already come close to him, still with his right hand, five fingers spread out, facing himself.

Wang Yi's 1.8-meter-tall figure now looked like a giant in front of the 1.7-meter-tall Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, looking down at him.

"To strike, one must rely on force and one's own will. Force cannot be seen or touched, but it can be felt. As for will..."

Before he finished speaking, the dazed Yagyu Tajima-no-kami felt a sharp pain on his cheek, and a wound appeared on his face, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

Yagyu Tajima no Kami was unable to speak, and all that was left for him was a painful wail of death.

Dense cuts covered Yagyu Tajima Morishima's body, making him look like he was being tortured to death. However, it was not true torture, because each wound only hurt the skin and flesh, not the bone marrow.

On an ordinary person, this injury would result in death due to excessive bleeding, but on Yagyu Tajima-no-kami it was a form of torture that required him to remain conscious at all times.

However, compared to this kind of torture by slicing, which requires one to keep consciousness clear at all times, what Yagyu Tajima-no-kami fears and is afraid of is that every slash inflicted on his body carries a sense of heat, constantly burning his will and skin.

Just as Wang Yi said, whether it is a swordsman or a knifeman, the sword energy is nothing. What is really important is that their way is contained in this strike.

This is what is called essence, energy and spirit.

But Wang Yi is not a swordsman, and he doesn't even have a weapon called a sword in his hand. Even this slash was a one-to-one replica of the slash that he had just reversed and attacked.

But it was such a Wang Yi who sharpened his sword before the battle and replicated the attack one-to-one, and he made a strike that embodied his own will.

This lingchi-like blow not only cut Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's body, but also his spirit.

Under the fiery slashing blow, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami turned into a bloody man. As Wang withdrew his hand, he fell to his knees with powerless strength and lay on the ground. Only the rising and falling of his chest showed that he was still alive.

The Japanese embassy watched this scene but dared not say anything, because when Wang Yi withdrew his hand and turned around, he could clearly see the murderous intent in Wang Yi's eyes. For a moment, he felt as if he was in a Shura field.

The murderous intent came quickly and went away quickly.

Wang Yi finally pulled out his left hand from behind his back and bowed to the onlookers.

"Marshal, I am waiting for your great gift."

With a faint smile and his long gown fluttering, Wang Yi standing under the light looked like a well-educated scholar.

But behind him was Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, whose Tao heart was broken and who might never be able to swing a sword again in his life, and who became a bloody man. Around him were eight foreigners who fell down, and some even felt lucky that they fell quickly.

Only the two daughters of Yagyu Tajima-no-kami were able to stagger towards their father.

At this moment, looking at Wang Yi, who defeated the aliens from eight countries with just one hand, everyone in the alien circle in Beijing could only say one word to describe him.

As a true man, this is what you should do!
