As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

Although he passed by, he did not approach the two of them immediately. Instead, he came to the weapon racks on the edge of the dojo where weapons were placed. His slim body stood with his chest crossed, looking at the weapons on them, and then at the back of the general. , after thinking about it, he still took two identical 'Tenmu Shadow Swords' in his hands.

"General."

"...?"

After hearing his mother's call, the general chatting with Ayaka subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look over. The next second he saw the other party throwing a tachi towards her.

pat...

She caught it smoothly, glanced at her third eye at home, and understood what the other party meant.

"…Now?"

She asked, and Ying could hear the reluctance in her tone, but she had never indulged the other party in this kind of training.

"Yes, get up and spar with me."

She held the sheathed sword in her hand and made a slight cross-chest gesture, waiting for the general to stand up.She glanced at Ayaka who had also stopped talking. The other person also looked at her after seeing her eyes, and then shook his head reassuringly, saying 'it's okay'.

"...Don't want it now, right? Ayaka is still there, wait a moment -"

"No, if practice is delayed, it will lose its original purpose."

Ying still didn't let go, and was even a little harsh.

"..."

The general was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and he frowned slightly and made a silent protest expression of "What are you doing all of a sudden?"

"General, listen."

Kage could also tell that her expression still refused to condone her.

"General, you don't have to worry about me. Since Lord Shadow wants to practice with you, how can I have any ideas?"

Ayaka also gave some advice.

"but you--"

"It's okay, go ahead and don't waste Master Kage's feelings, eh~?"

Ayaka came close to her and bit her ear.

"Huh... Got it."

She had no choice but to stand up and walk with Ying to the left and right sides of the dojo.

"General, although I have told you before - 'You no longer need to handle my affairs for me and live a good life at home' or something like that, but... I have never asked you to give up your martial arts training. You seem to be a little lazy in the past few days."

Ying hung the Tianmu Da Dao on his waist, pulled it out skillfully and beautifully, and then hung it on his ankle.

"Aren't you dealing with official duties every day? Do you still have time to pay attention to me?"

The general also drew his sword in the same manner, and asked in confusion.

"Huh... naive, are you just trying to catch me when I'm busy with something? You are my son, I will subconsciously pay attention to your affairs. Don't think that I usually just immerse myself in work."

Shadow sighed and said this.

"...///"

The general was embarrassed by what the other party said, and his face turned red. He was extremely cute for a moment.

"Pfft~"

Ayaka in the distance also covered her mouth with a folding fan and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't to ridicule but to be amused by the cuteness of her general.

"...!"

She turned around and glared at him cutely, but this glare was not intimidating at all, and even had a hint of coquettishness.

Ayaka immediately stopped smiling when she saw it, coughed slightly and straightened her posture.

"So, I have a rare free time today, and I want to adjust your lazy mentality these days. The essence of martial arts is to accumulate over time, rather than opportunistically. You have to make progress every day, even if it is just a little, you will have success in the future. What you have achieved, phew... Okay, hold a sword and compete with me, I will see if your martial arts has deteriorated."

The general didn't refute anymore. Even so, she was still a good daughter of the movie. So she clenched the sword with both hands and held it horizontally in front of her body. When she raised her hands, her plain kimono furisode slid down slightly to reveal The arms inside were like lotus roots, and a pair of delicate white silk legs also made a corresponding overlapping posture.

"..."

Ying smiled inwardly after seeing her posture, and during this period he also tightened his grip on the sword, raised his hand in a single motion, and stood back and forth, and the atmosphere suddenly sank.

"..."

During this period, the general looked at the shadow on the opposite side, then glanced at the surrounding space, intending to attack directly in a detour, but - the opponent was faster than her.

blah blah blah!

Just when she was about to execute it like this, she saw Ying Jian quickly stepped forward and rushed to her face, stabbing her with a backhand!

"—!"

She was stunned by the other party's action, and subconsciously took a few steps back to block the knife in a hurry.

boom!

The metallic sound of clashing blades filled the room.

"The reaction is slow."

Ying spoke seriously, scolded her, and then pushed her away by the blade.

"!"

The general felt a little dissatisfied by her words. He bit his jade lips slightly, ducked to the opponent's flank, and slashed down the opponent's neck with the back of his sword.

"..."

Ying just glanced at it and skillfully resisted it, and then attacked her again in a series of attacks.

boom! ×N

For a moment, the swords were like shadows, and the two figures were constantly entangled in purple light. It was clear that they were not using elemental power, but maybe it was because they were not using their full strength. During this period, Linghua could barely see the movements of the two people. In her eyes, The general was suppressed by the shadow master from the beginning to the end, and it became even more difficult.

Her hands subconsciously clenched the handle of the folding fan, and her heart subconsciously cheered for the general.

boom!

Shadow bounced the general away again, and the general took a few steps back, pressing the soles of his feet against the ground to regain his balance.

"call…"

Then he took a breath and looked at Ying again.

"My style of swordsmanship emphasizes being steady and ruthless, as fast as a shadow, and deadly with the sword. It focuses on offense, not defense. I don't remember that I taught you passive defense."

During the film, he deliberately mocked her in his own way.

"Huh... I'm not serious yet."

The general exhaled to calm down his heart, and his eyes instantly became cold and calm.

"You have a good eye, come and attack!"

After seeing her like this, Ying's mouth curved slightly.

"—!"

呲呲!

In the blink of an eye the next second, the general's figure disappeared. At that moment, even Ying was stunned for a moment. She frowned slightly, and then she dodged the general's blade at the critical moment, and there was a trace of the opponent's speed between her eyebrows. A look of astonishment.

Whoosh!

After the general drew his sword, she didn't react at all and stabbed her again!

boom! ×2

Ying regained consciousness and passively blocked several knives. He subconsciously took a few steps back and was instantly suppressed by the general. Even so, the speed of the two of them was now beyond what the naked eye could see. There was only the gleaming light of the knives and the The sound of wind pressure sweeping across.

Although Ying was suppressed by the general, he accurately neutralized all the general's moves in the process, never leaving any chance for the opponent.

In the following stage, Shadow gradually changed from being suppressed to a draw again, and even began to counterpress the general.

The swordsmanship of both of them was at the same time, and they were in a state of complete proficiency in their skills. Their slender figures showed an elegant posture in the light and shadow of the sword, and then turned into shadows and disappeared in an instant, reappearing like thunder and lightning.

In the end, it was Kage who ended the battle with one shot and one slash.

This time it didn't hit the general, it just stopped at the general's forehead.

"you lose…"

Shadow said.

"…Ha ha."

But the general smiled.

"...?"

Ying frowned, and his expression changed from relaxed to alert again. He was about to realize something and backed away, but it was already too late. He felt a touch of coldness on his neck, which was the touch of a blade.

The general appeared behind her and pressed the back of his knife against her neck.

"Eh?"

Linghua was also shocked, and she didn't understand this scene.

"……I see."

The shadow became clear, and then she looked at the 'general' in front of her who was being held up by her. The opponent was wrapped in purple light and turned into an exquisite doll. The doll collapsed to the ground and disappeared into light particles.

This is... a substitute, something that only a general who is a puppet can do.

"How's it going? Are you shocked? I haven't used my 'arms' yet."

The general raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's indeed amazing, but...have you forgotten that we only have sword skills?"

Shadow sighed and turned to look over.

"...Huh? You...did you say that?"

The general looked away and asked awkwardly.

"..."

Ying looked at her speechlessly at this moment, making her cough.
