Chapter 172: Cut off (together)

The Black Tiger Gang has been entrenched in the Pearl River Estuary area, fighting people to death for decades, doing all the dirty and tiring work.

But decades of savings only amounted to a few hundred thousand taels of wealth.

As a result, the young master of the Guangzhou General's Mansion gave away 50,000 taels of silver with just a clap of his hands.

This is totally treating silver as not money and silver notes as waste paper!

Although Song Ren had earned a lot from his cooperation with Brund during this period, fifty thousand taels was still a considerable amount of income and expenditure.

Song Ren gladly accepted Su Chaharcan's generosity.

……

Compared to the first two rounds where the atmosphere was almost overflowing with hostility, this round of competition was so harmonious that it was almost too harmonious.

This just-right performance obviously made the audience feel a little uncomfortable.

Even though he was almost killed by a single blow of one centimeter in the end, it still felt like something was missing.

Some Westerners were the first to react and started to make a noise:

"Hey, Dong, showing mercy isn't really your style!"

"Don! Please be more violent! I like to see you ravage your opponents!"

"Dong, please try harder in the next game!"

At this time, Song Ren was about to step down from the stage.

Hearing the constant booing coming from outside the venue, he suddenly stopped, turned around and replied, "Okay."

Hearing his proactive response, the Western people in suits outside the venue cheered excitedly, as if they were crazy fans who had seen their idol.

In the next match, Song Ren's opponent is the great swordsman Sakamoto Ryoma.

He is also a close friend of Yuta Mikami.

Sakamoto Ryoma and Shinsengumi's Okita Souji are two people with completely opposite positions.

Okita Souji was a remnant of the late Edo period.

Sakamoto Ryoma was a patriot of the Meiji Restoration.

He played a huge role in promoting the Meiji Restoration.

Whether it is the "Eight Strategies on the Ship" or the "Restoration of Imperial Rule", their contributions to the Meiji Restoration are self-evident.

According to historical records, Sakamoto Ryoma should have been assassinated last year.

As a result, because of the fusion of the two films, it seems that he survived his death.

No matter what the reason was, Song Ren was not going to delve into it.

Since he happened to meet him in the ring, he might as well correct this historical error.

Below the stage, Ryoma Sakamoto was kneeling on the floor in the lounge area.

With his eyes lowered, he carefully wiped his beloved sword, Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki.

Because of the death of his best friend, Ryoma Sakamoto was a little depressed.

Those clear eyes were only fixed on the bright blade.

When Song Ren walked by, he paused while wiping his beloved sword and took the initiative to speak: "Dong Sang, San Shangjun is my close friend with the same ideals as mine."

Song Ren stopped, looked back at Sakamoto Ryoma, and said calmly: "So?"

Sakamoto Ryoma steadily wiped the blade of the katana with the sword cloth, finally revealing the sharp edge of Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki with a cold glow.

He raised his head at this time, his cold eyes full of chillness: "On the field, swords have no eyes."

Song Ren exchanged glances with him, then smiled softly, "Okay."

Then, he went to his resting seat.

Sakamoto Ryoma kept watching Song Ren's departing back, and finally he rolled up his sword, put it back into the sheath neatly, closed his eyes again, and continued to maintain his peak state.

During the half-hour break, three more ring matches were held.

There was one almost every ten minutes.

The rhythm of the entire scene was arranged very tightly.

During this period, blood was seen on the ring.

But the process was not as shocking as when Song Ren took action.

But it also led to a warm atmosphere that was constantly created during the performance.

As soon as the break was over, Song Ren stepped onto the stage for the third time.

He did not change to a longer weapon with a bigger advantage, and still held the Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword Chiyan.

Sakamoto Ryoma also stood up, with his beloved katana Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki tucked into his waist.

He stepped onto the ring in ronin's attire.

The two sides stood facing each other.

Sakamoto Ryoma: "Hokushin Ittoryu, Sakamoto Ryoma."

Song Ren was stunned for a moment, but still replied politely: "Guangzhou, Dong Fugui."

The bell outside the stadium has been rung at this moment.

At the same time, the referee also announced the game - officially started!
This time, Sakamoto Ryoma did not start with the sword-drawing technique.

Instead, he held the knife with both hands and held it upright in front of him.

The handle of the chicken knife is long enough so it can be used with one or both hands.

Sakamoto Ryoma held the knife with both hands and pressed forward with a right-angle step!

It’s just like the innate energy possessed by the big boss Zhao Wuji in The Legend of Su Qier.

Ryoma Sakamoto also has a unique breathing method.

Every sip and every bite of food helps you to reach a higher level in your kendo moves.

Although it cannot achieve the same powerful performance as the innate internal energy.

But Ryoma Sakamoto, who possesses the breathing method, still exceeds the limits in some aspects.

This is also a skill he acquired after escaping a life-and-death disaster.

But Song Ren doesn't have so many fancy tricks.

Just a red goose knife is enough!
His brows were slightly raised, and he didn't test each other too much.

He drew the sword directly and cleanly, and with powerful explosive force, he rushed past in a flash!

"So fast!!!" Sakamoto Ryoma's pupils shrank slightly, and the breath between his nostrils instantly became hot.

His wrist turned in an instant, and Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki slashed down vertically!

Clang!
Sparks from the collision of iron tools flew violently!

Sakamoto Ryoma's hands holding the knife were knocked back and his eye color changed again.

Not just fast!

And the force is quite strong!
As soon as his thoughts turned, the Red Goose Sword had already knocked Sakamoto Ryoma's katana in half.

The blade suddenly turned over and cut directly towards his head.

Ryoma Sakamoto had to step back to avoid the attack.

But when he wanted to launch another attack, the Red Goose Sword that was covering his face was already chopping down continuously.

At this moment, Song Ren was like a lion with bared fangs.

Tang Hengdao Chiyan kept turning between his fingers, and the sharp blade was like a silk thread, cutting out impenetrable red arcs!
Clang Clang Clang——

The sound of weapons clashing continued in the air!
Sakamoto Ryoma held the knife with both hands and relied on his steady breathing to barely block all of Song Ren's moves.

But the situation became passive, which was not the result he wanted.

Before he knew it, a breath like fire seemed to burst out from his nostrils.

At this moment, Sakamoto Ryoma suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes were as bright as torches and full of spirit!

Breathing method, one-sword style, super speed!
sieve!
A flash of cold light shot out!

In an instant, the sharp tip of Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki cut off a strand of hair from Song Ren's temple at an extremely fast speed.

The blade turned sideways and slashed towards Song Ren's neck.

Song Ren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The first time he faced his enemy head-on in the ring, he took the initiative to retreat half a step.

The sharp tip of the knife almost grazed the skin of his neck.

There was a slight chill on my neck! There was a cry of surprise from outside the stadium.

Huang Feihong even broke out in a cold sweat for Song Ren.

What happened to that knife the other party just used?

It’s so fast!
Song Ren's speed is supported by explosive power beyond the limit, which is understandable.

But the swift sword strike just now by Sakamoto Ryoma was more like the instant acceleration after taking drugs, which made no sense at all.

In the field
After being nearly successful with a move by Sakamoto Ryoma, he immediately began to attack.

Ryoma Sakamoto's breathing became a little rapid at this moment, and the burning feeling between his nostrils was burning his entire body.

He gritted his teeth and held his breath, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

Breathing method, one-sword style, double flash!

In the air, a flash of knife light appeared in two places!

Song Ren had to take half a step back again before he could create an opening and cut two flashes of sword light horizontally with the Red Goose Sword.

Sakamoto Ryoma already had the advantage at this point, but he seemed to be getting more and more anxious as the fight went on.

Breathing method, one-sword style, dragon head flash!
The powerful and domineering attack forced Song Ren to retreat half a step again. The Red Goose Sword swung violently and knocked away Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki's attack again!
There was a slight redness in Sakamoto Ryoma's eyes.

That's it again!

Although he had gained the upper hand by relying on his breathing technique, he could only take half a step ahead of his opponent.

All the moves that were considered fatal in the past were now completely cut off in front of the opponent at the cost of retreating half a step!

You have to know that breathing techniques consume a lot of your physical energy.

Ryoma Sakamoto knew that he could not last long, so he attacked more fiercely!

He held the katana Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki in both hands and approached again with force!

Breathing method, one-sword style, black light!

The knife chopped down violently with a cold glow, at an extremely fast speed and with extremely heavy force!
But this time, Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki's sword fell into the air.

Song Ren suddenly leaped backwards and retreated seven or eight meters away.

Looking at the stunned Sakamoto Ryoma, Song Ren had already sheathed his sword.

He couldn't help but chuckle and murmured, "So it's a trick to breathing. It looks like this is Qi."

In the first round of the world.

Song Ren gained the essence of martial arts from the King of Weapons.

Among them, there is a martial arts formula that has always been particularly memorable.

That was a martial arts formula that Xiahou Wu, the male protagonist of Heyi Sect, had revealed:

Shoulders and hips are in harmony, elbows and knees are in harmony, hands and feet are in harmony.

To capture is dead, to hold is alive, only after successfully capturing can you advance your weapons.

Weapons are an extension of limbs, the so-called unity of man and weapon.

The mind and intention are in harmony, the intention and qi are in harmony, the qi and strength are in harmony.

Yin inside and yang outside, inside and outside are integrated into one. If one form is not smooth, it will be difficult to practice the other form!

In this passage of mantra, Song Ren had already mastered the previous martial arts concepts.

But the internal martial arts that came later were too complicated, and the content was all-encompassing, so Song Ren had never really understood it.

Even in the martial arts essence of the King of Weapons, there is hardly any reference to this aspect.

To the extent that, Song Ren always thought that he had to wait until he entered the world of martial arts before he could learn some of the essence of internal martial arts.

But I didn't expect to see it in this world.

Be it the so-called breathing method or hard qigong.

In fact, it is just a simple application of Qi.

As long as this breath is smooth, the boxing techniques and moves will go smoothly.

It's just that this boost of energy cannot be easily let go.

Sakamoto Ryoma has experienced life and death and successfully survived the historical killing.

Fortunately, he learned the breathing method, but it also helped Song Ren realize how to boost his energy.

So Song Ren sheathed his sword on the stage.

Then take a step forward with your right foot and press your body slightly forward.

The left hand holds the scabbard, and the right hand holds the handle.

Taking a deep breath, Song Ren lowered his eyes.

If one's spirit is smooth, everything will go smoothly!
The hoof prints on his back had become hot again.

Song Ren slowly opened his eyes and looked calmly at the somewhat dazed Sakamoto Ryoma.

Next, the outcome will be decided with one sword!

Draw the sword! Unsheathe it!
Waist strike, flying geese!

laugh--

In the air, a spark swept across the entire ring and then instantly scattered in the air!

Song Ren's figure has already emerged into a line.

He passed by Sakamoto Ryoma who was standing there with his sword in hand to block!

Sakamoto Ryoma widened his eyes and murmured, "Eh..."

Then a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and a scarlet blood line appeared directly on his body.

The next moment, the whole body fell and broke into two parts.

The lower half of his body was still standing there, but the upper half holding the knife fell to the ground with a thud.

Blood gushed out like a gushing stream!

The next moment, everyone in the audience outside the stadium stood up straight at once.

The whole place was filled with looks of disbelief.

What on earth happened in that second just now!
too fast!
Apart from Zhao Wuji, even those who are experts in the field could not see clearly what was going on.

Most Westerners couldn't help but exclaim:

"Oh! Shit! What just happened!"

"Hou Li Crab! Was I dazzled just now?"

"Fuck! I'm sure I'm witnessing the birth of a legend!"

“Dong!!!”

Before the referee even announced the result, deafening cheers broke out from the audience outside the stadium.

The scene seemed like a grand event just for Song Ren.

Almost everyone was exclaiming in surprise at his final blow.

In the previous second, Sakamoto Ryoma had the upper hand and was forcing Song Ren to retreat continuously.

But in just the next moment, Song Ren had completely killed the game with such a shocking blow.

A great victory without any suspense!
Unlike the noisy sounds outside the stadium, Song Ren's ears seemed to be silent.

He took the initiative to open his personal status bar:

Boss: Song Ren

Age: 28
Expertise: Martial Arts (9.0) Firearms (5.3) Other (Those with less than 3 points will not be displayed.)
Inherited emblems: Kuiniu [hoof +9], Kuiniu [skin +6], Kuiniu [roar +3].

Overall evaluation:

Yin inside and yang outside, integrated into one!
Congratulations, boss, you have mastered the use of Qi and successfully passed the level 9 in martial arts expertise (scattering flowers).

Song Ren's eyes flickered.

In the status bar, the martial arts specialty increased by 0.9 in one go and reached the level of 9.0.

It was just to sort out some information in my mind, and to master the use of that breath.

This is not a qualitative change, but an improvement in skills.

But what I didn’t expect was that the improvement this time would be so huge!
As Song Ren was thinking this, he heard deafening cheers in his ears, which finally brought his distracted consciousness back to normal.

Amid the almost boiling noise in the room, everyone looked at him with eyes filled with longing!
