Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Swordsmen are also very particular about dueling, and they always need all kinds of situations as support before they can build up enough emotion and fighting spirit.

Swordsmen duel, either on the rocky rocks with waves crashing on the shore, or in the red land with falling maple leaves, or in the snow-capped Baili falling snow, or in the unusually quiet kendo venue.

The river ridge next to the river is very empty, there is nothing blocking the view, and everything can be seen clearly.

They had stopped on a stone bridge, which was about ten meters long and five meters wide. It was erected over the river, with the rapid and turbid river water below.

Right in front of Amemiya Mahiru's 'sight', the young man gave her the feeling that he didn't look like a person at all, but like a tiger.

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

His fighting spirit is high.

In Okita Souji's perception, this blind girl is also very dangerous. She feels more ethereal and nihilistic, just like the legendary monster of Momiji, with beautiful appearance and gorgeous clothes. , but he is an out-and-out cannibal monster. Every smile and every move is dangerous enough to be fatal.

He couldn't see through the opponent's intentions. This was an opponent he had never seen before.

The two of them stood on the bridge, creating a wonderful picture with the flowing river below and the quiet bridge. The top with the bridge deck as the dividing line remained quiet, but underneath this quietness, there was a turbulent flow. The waves of the river lapped at the river bank, and the water waves rolled, just like the emotions squeezed in the hearts of the two swordsmen, just waiting for a thunder to light them up.

Before the sword light broke out, the sound of the wind seemed so suppressed.

So in this wait that makes people sweat profusely, have difficulty breathing, and have heartbeats dry up, even God can't stand it anymore, and finally promises a wake-up call.

There was a roar, and the thunder that tore the sky apart illuminated the world for a moment like day.

When the order was given, the owners of the two knives also burst out with unprecedented speed. Their clothes were pulled by the strong wind pressure, their sleeves and feather fabrics rustled, and the clothes in the front were close to the skin. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to Find out who is better.

From Bai Yu's perspective, there is no doubt that the talented swordsman Okita Souji of the Trial Guard Hall is faster. It is not his sword that is faster, but his people.

Footwork·Shukuchi.

The young man's body seemed to have lost weight in that moment, and there were no cracks on the ground, but he himself was ejected like a fully charged spring... This was undoubtedly an extremely high-end footwork.

Bai Yu subconsciously activated his extraordinary skills, trying to see through the melody of the other party and reproduce this unique melody.

Two knives collided on the bridge, and there were more than one knives.

Neither of them are swordsmen known for their physical strength, so they do not choose to put all their strength into the first sword. It is good to defeat all kinds of magic with one force, but it is a pity that they cannot learn it.

The Cross Slash faced the upper and lower combos, and neither of them could get any advantage. The moment the swords and lights intertwined, they also changed their positions.

While the sleeves of both sides were flying, they changed positions twice in succession. When they separated again, the weapons in their hands actually switched.

From Bai Yu's perspective, he couldn't fully see what was happening because his attention was all on Okita Souji's legs.

However, Amemiya Mahiru knew exactly what she had done, and was also aware of the opponent's counterattack. Initially, she hooked Souji Okita's arm and suddenly dragged her closer, trying to suppress the opponent's speed with her body locking technique, but Okita Souji also reacted quickly. When his arm was grabbed, he had already developed a reverse grip of the weapon, so that the tachi would be close to the forearm and become a weapon that could be used to kill at short distances.

Before Amamiya Mahiru could be slashed with the sword, she cut off her attack route. The two sides continued to fight, this time trying to clasp the wrist joints. In the end, both of them completed an extremely thrilling close-range sword grab. It can be said that they gained a lot. Small, but also lost his saber.

Amemiya Mahiru waved the California Kiyoko uncomfortably. This sword was too heavy.

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

"Okay." She agreed.

Both sides threw their knives at the same time, passing each other alternately in the air. They were already chasing the knives before the blades hit the ground, and launched another attack.

This time when attacking Amemiya Mahiru, she still used her most familiar offensive posture, but the next moment her intuition took effect, she immediately changed the path of her sword and avoided the opponent's direct attack on the vital point. She was shocked... This was only done once. Got seen through?

She opened her eyes and used all her energy to track the trajectory of the opponent's sword, and made two precise interceptions. At this time, her sword was in the middle defensive position, so she stepped forward heavily and exerted her strength.

When reaching for the sword, 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.

Among Fuso people who generally have short legs, Amamiya Mahiru's height of nearly 1.7 meters is considered tall for both men and women. This also means that she has several kilograms more muscles than an ordinary person who is 1.65 meters tall.

Okita Souji resolutely did not counterattack with the sword. He knew very well that his strength lay in his swordsmanship. He decisively moved back, slid sideways, stepped on the guardrail of the stone bridge, and turned back with force again, like a catapulted tennis ball. This magical footwork and exquisite power control make his legs like springs. He does not need to expend too much physical energy, but he can maintain an amazing speed throughout the story.

Amamiya Mahiru saw red on her shoulders. As the bright red bloomed, she also threw the Kaiyu sword directly. The blade flew up in the air and almost passed the tip of Okita Souji's nose.

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

What Amamiya Mahiru was waiting for was when his speed slowed down, he decisively grabbed the opponent's wrist and used the force to throw him over his shoulder.

New Yinliu·No Knife Take!

Kōtori is an unarmed fighting technique in the Yagyu Shinin-ryu. The Yagyu Shinin-ryu is the most famous branch of the Shinin-ryu. As a swordsman, Yagyu Sogan, the founder, often travels without a sword. He can face someone with a sword. Seizing the sword and defeating him shows his state of mind as a swordsman but he does not practice killing people to hone his sword skills.

Amamiya Mahiru has also learned many fighting skills that she didn't know before during her training in the Dragon Pulse World, and there are also a lot of unarmed fighting skills in the Innocent Shinto Kaori Shinto...especially the move of no swords, which she learned The essence of it was why Okita Souji was unable to react.

The genius swordsman has never had his weapon taken away so far. He is too fast, and the sword is very dangerous. Who dares to take such danger to seize the sword?

So when Mu Totori threw him to the ground, California Kiyomitsu was almost taken away.

The reason why she couldn't take it away was also very simple, because Amamiya Mahiru was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have touched something just now, so her reaction was slow for a moment, and she was unable to immediately grab the opponent's finger to let him let go of the sword.

Okita Souji kicked the ground and slid out like a loach. He slapped the ground and bounced to perform a jumping chop.

Amamiya Mahiru drew her knife to fight back, and the bluestone on the bridge suddenly rose and fell.

Okita Souji didn't understand. He had just lost his weapon and failed to seize the sword. Where did she come from?

Naturally, Amemiya Mahiru would not answer, and tried to repeat the same trick, throwing the weapon again, and the rain katana flew around.

Okita Souji would not be fooled again. He decisively distanced himself and slashed the blade on the ground, as if he were leveraging pole vaulting. Such an eclectic way of using the sword fully demonstrated his flexibility and versatility.

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

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

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

Off-hand knife + back turning knife.

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

In the eyes of the Fuso Swordsman, the Lishou Sword is completely treasonous... How could the sword leave the arm and fly around?

Even if they reach the third or fourth level of the extraordinary, they still chop with one move after another, without thinking about letting the sword fly out to take someone's head.

But Amamiya Mahiru is different. Her Rishou Knife is a new move she learned from the Dragon Vein World.

It is a taboo to let the weapon go out of hand, especially at low levels, so the timing of using the Lishou Knife is very strict. She just uses it as a deception method, and has no hope of killing the enemy with it.

"It's just Daxia's swordsmanship, haven't you seen it?" Amamiya Mahiru said calmly: "The best swordsmanship is to wield three thousand swords, swing the sword like rain, fly thousands of miles, and take people's heads."

There was a hint of sarcasm and pride in her words, as if she was despising the other person for being a country bumpkin.

Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh... Jingxia couldn't help it.

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

Amemiya Mahiru was speechless for a moment. She was silent for a moment and slowly said: "Maybe you are right... In the hands of you and me, swords are just weapons for killing, and skills exist only for fighting... As long as Fuso's The world is still like this, maybe no matter what, the knife cannot be put away, and people will always be cut with blood."

Okita Souji narrowed his eyes: "You are different from other murderers. They are either hysterically shouting about their grievances; or they are addicted to power, or they are competing for benefits... But you always behave calmly, you are different from them, if you insist on saying..."

He thought for a moment and pointed at himself: "It's a bit similar to me."

"You?" Amemiya Mahiru asked.

"I like swordsmanship, but I don't really like killing. I just have no choice. The Shinsengumi's duty is to protect the safety of one party, so I have to be ruthless."

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

"And you?"

"What is your happiness? And why do you wield your sword?"

Listening to the words of the executioner in front of him who had killed nearly a hundred people but could still maintain an innocent smile, Amamiya Mahiru was silent for a moment and whispered: "It seems that you will not let me go."

"Of course, it's your duty." Souji Okita smiled sweetly.

Mahiru Amemiya stroked the blade of 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 cannot become samurai."

"Is it hard for you to live like this?"

Okita Souji knew that her identity was revealed, but she didn't panic. She stretched out her hand and pulled off the loose white bandage from inside the haori. She exhaled: "Actually, I'm used to it. In addition to tightening it a little tighter, concealing my identity is not a problem." No matter what happens, everyone will cover for me."

"It's a pity. If we didn't have this status, maybe we could be friends." Amamiya Mahiru picked up the scabbard, feeling a little bit regretful about whether it was true or not.

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

"Obviously we are going to fight until one of us falls?"

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

"Are you crazy?" Amamiya Mahiru let out a breath of white mist.

"Hahaha, people often say this, but I mean it... life and death, these are warriors and swordsmen, so we should live straightforward and honest every moment!"

The conversation stopped abruptly.

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

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

Her starting posture made Bai Yu, who was watching the battle, feel inexplicably familiar.

Boom——! There was another thunder crash.

The lightning struck at the side of the river ridge at an extremely close distance. The entire river was passed by electric current, and in an instant the surface of the river was filled with clear white.

The two knives intertwined, like immortals clashing on the Milky Way.
