From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

After more than a dozen moves, Lu Heng was sure that the opponent, Tsukawa Hideyoshi, had also reached the realm of artistic conception in swordsmanship.

This was higher than his level three years ago, and much higher.

Because they were competing with wooden swords, neither side used their full strength.

If they used their full strength, the wooden sword would be broken with just one strike.

Therefore, both sides played according to the scoring method, without using killing moves, and the goal was to hit the effective parts of the opponent.

Even so, the level of swordsmanship can be seen.

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Lu Heng also roughly tested the opponent's strength.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi's level is indeed very high, at least level 22, and his agility is above 55 points.

The strength attribute is uncertain, because neither side used their full strength, and they played a point-to-point style, so the strength attribute cannot be tested.

However, the agility can reach 55 points, and even if the strength attribute is lower, it is definitely above 50 points.

Lu Heng's agility attribute can suppress the opponent, but this scoring method has not been tried before, so he lacks experience.

Therefore, the fight was a situation of equal strength.

The more Lu Heng fought, the calmer his breath became, because he was sure of the opponent's strength and felt confident.

Whether it was attributes or swordsmanship, he was not inferior to the opponent, and he could easily deal with the competition in the field he was not good at.

If it was a head-on fight, he would naturally be more confident.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi was more and more frightened, because he could see that Lu Heng was very young, at least a dozen years younger than him.

However, during the contest, he discovered something amazing.

"Have you reached the artistic conception level in your swordsmanship?"

"Just arrived not long ago."

In fact, Lu Heng also discovered that Tsukawa Hideyoshi had just reached the artistic conception level not long ago. When the two sides were fighting, many movements and moves could be predicted.

Looking at the swordsmanship level alone, the two sides were about the same, but with age, the gap was huge.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi started learning Kashima Shinto-ryu Kendo very early, and started participating in competitions at the age of 20. He played for almost ten years. At the age of 30, he won the Kendo Championship and ranked among the top ten masters of Fuso Kendo.

He is also the face of the current Fuso Kashima Shindō-ryu, and is regarded as a god-like existence in the Fuso kendo circle.

However, he, who has won countless praises, is now fighting on equal terms with an unknown young man from Daxia.

This is a huge failure for him.

Therefore, Tsukawa Hideyoshi became more and more anxious, and it was easy to make flaws when he was anxious.

Lu Heng seized the opportunity and performed the cloud-piercing style change move Yan Zheshen, hitting Tsukawa Hideyoshi's effective parts twice in a row, scoring two points in a row.

For masters, two points is a big difference.

Moreover, with Lu Heng's strength, if he is on the court now, he only needs to defend well and basically win.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi's eyes sank, and he launched an even more fierce attack, and the wooden swords collided "bang bang bang".

As he used more and more strength, the wooden sword finally couldn't hold on, and the two wooden swords collided with a "bang" and exploded.

Lu Heng flew back, glanced at the broken wooden sword, and asked with a smile: "Does this count as a victory?"

If the competition ends now, then according to the score, Lu Heng won two points, which is indeed a win.

However, if it is really counted according to the game, the time is not over yet, and it depends on how Tsukawa Hideyoshi decides.

Ono Kenji has been watching the battle outside the door. Although he does not understand swordsmanship, he knows who won by looking at Tsukawa Hideyoshi's appearance.

His eyes sank, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Lu Heng saw Ono Kenji turned away, but did not leave the [Spirit Resistance Ring] behind, which was a little bit unkind.

However, Tsukawa Hideyoshi has not admitted defeat yet, so he has to give him a chance to catch up.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi's eyes turned cold, and he pulled out a cold and shining sword from the void, saying: "Use a real sword to fight in the second half, dare you?"

Lu Heng was not used to this kind of Fuso wooden sword. Since the other party took the initiative to fight seriously, there was nothing to retreat, and he also pulled out the Aurora Blade from the void.

The two sides changed their weapons and fought again.

Bang!

The first sound of metal clashing rang out, and Lu Heng's blood began to boil.

This was a real fight, a full-strength fight with real swords and guns.

Bang!

Another sword-and-sword collision.

Lu Heng began to get excited and fully exerted the power of the Seven-section Step Sword.

The broken wooden sword just now could not use the killing moves of the Seven-section Step Sword.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

As Lu Heng's offensive broke out, Tsukawa Hideyoshi felt the pressure increase greatly, and with Lu Heng's 62 points of agility exceeding his attack speed, his 55 points of agility disadvantage became more and more obvious.

Every time Lu Heng attacked, it was so fast that he could not dodge, and he could only block with the sword.

Using the sword to block, it would be difficult to counterattack.

Therefore, after changing to a real sword, Lu Heng's offensive was several times more violent than before, forcing him to defend frequently, with less than 30% chance of counterattack.

Lu Heng fought more and more freely, and his swordsmanship proficiency continued to improve in the battle.

[Use swordsmanship to fight, gain some insights, swordsmanship proficiency +1]

After several rounds of sword clashes, Lu Heng also tested out Tsukawa Hideyoshi's strength attribute, which was about 51 points.

Lu Heng's current strength attribute is 49 points, slightly lower by 2 points, but his agility is 62 points, 7 points higher than Tsukawa Hideyoshi.

Therefore, Lu Heng used his super high agility to launch a lightning-fast attack, which almost made Tsukawa Hideyoshi breathless.

If it weren't for his slightly higher strength attribute, he would have been unable to withstand it.

The more Lu Heng fought, the happier he became, and the uglier Tsukawa Hideyoshi's face became.

Ono Kenji invited Lu Heng this time for a clear purpose.

He wanted Tsukawa Hideyoshi to use his strength to overwhelm Lu Heng, so that Lu Heng would agree to give up two team quotas to protect the person behind him.

The current situation is a bit ugly. Tsukawa Hideyoshi is being suppressed. If he continues like this, he will definitely lose.

In this way, Ono Kenji's purpose of inviting today has failed.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi's eyes sank, and a red light suddenly flashed in his eyes. His strength suddenly burst out, and his offensive suddenly increased, from less than 30% of the original offensive to 50%.

Moreover, Lu Heng felt a special kind of pressure, as if his soul was stared at by something terrible.

This feeling was not the first time that Lu Heng encountered, so he quickly realized that the opponent used the source quality skill, and it was the source quality skill [Vengeance] of the first-level [Ronin].

This source quality skill can mark a target as a vendetta target, launch a fierce attack on the target, and greatly increase the attack speed and strength.

Not only that, this source quality skill can also lock the vendetta target, and you can sense the target's position with your eyes closed.

In other words, the target of [Vengeance] cannot escape even if it uses the invisible ability.

Lu Heng saw that he used the source quality skill, which has exceeded the original scope of the swordsmanship competition.

In the competition just now, both sides only used swordsmanship to compete, and no one used skills.

Because using skills, the meaning of swordsmanship is lost.

Moreover, the opponent used [Vengeance] directly at the beginning, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

This means that there will be no end to the death.

Not only that, the people in the courtyard began to change.

Originally there were many maids in kimonos in the courtyard, but now they have all left the courtyard, and there is no one in the entire courtyard.

Ono Kenji has also disappeared.

This is obviously a killing move, and the next step is probably to use a gun.

However, Tsukawa Hideyoshi has not lost yet, and there is no step yet.

As expected at the beginning, this is indeed a Hongmen Banquet.

Ono Kenji is holding a Hongmen Banquet, and Lu Heng is also playing a solo meeting.

Since the dagger is exposed, just fight.

After Tsukawa Hideyoshi used the source quality ability [Vendetta], the speed of sword drawing increased sharply, even surpassing Lu Heng in speed.

It is worthy of the source quality ability, forcibly pulling back the 7-point agility gap and gaining the upper hand.

All the source quality skills have been used, and Tsukawa Hideyoshi no longer holds back.

After a sword collision, Lu Heng flew back, Tsukawa Hideyoshi flipped his palm, threw out three darts, and played the skill [Severed Shuriken].

The three darts rotated and drew three arcs, shooting at three vital parts of Lu Heng from different directions.

At the same time, Tsukawa Hideyoshi rushed forward and thrust a sword straight at Lu Heng's chest.

This sword plus three shurikens seemed to launch four attacks at the same time in an instant.

With the blessing of [Vengeance], Tsukawa Hideyoshi was confident that no one in the world could block this killing move.

Just when this fatal move was about to succeed.

Lu Heng activated the skill [Bullet Time].

In an instant, the surrounding things slowed down, and even the sweat beads on the forehead when jumping were clearly visible.

In the bullet time, Lu Heng dodged the first shurikens sideways, and then made a lightning move, flicked the second shurikens with his fingers, and finally caught the third shurikens.

At the same time, Tsukawa Hideyoshi's Kashima Shinto-ryu's fatal sword had already stabbed in front of him.

Lu Heng swung his sword to block, and at the same time, the blade slid forward along the blade of the sword, flicked the sword away and swung a sword horizontally, straight to his chest.

After all, Tsukawa Hideyoshi was a swordsman of artistic conception level. At the moment when the horizontal slash reached him, he made a final change of moves, leaning back, and the sword light passed over his head, cutting off a tuft of his hair.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi passed by, thinking that he had narrowly avoided the counterattack.

However, Lu Heng did not look back at the moment he passed by, and swung his left hand directly behind him.

Puff!

The shuriken he caught flew behind him and stabbed into Tsukawa Hideyoshi's back.

Tsukawa Hideyoshi groaned and turned around immediately, his eyes full of shock.

He never thought that the original sure-kill shuriken plus Shindōryu killing move was actually cracked by the opponent, and in the end he caught the shuriken and hit him in the back with his backhand.

Although they were opponents, Lu Heng had to admit that this battle was really enjoyable.

However, the enjoyable battle was about to end.

Because a team of gun-wielding killers rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the entire courtyard.

Hideyoshi Tsukawa's face was full of anger, and he shouted at the gunman who rushed in: "Get out!"

He was still not convinced and wanted to continue fighting.

Lu Heng didn't mind accompanying him to finish the competition, because this battle had increased his swordsmanship proficiency by 152 points, which was much faster than usual training.

The gunmen surrounding the courtyard did not retreat, but they did not shoot either. Obviously, they were waiting.

...

On the other side.

Kenji Ono buttoned up his suit, walked out of the manor, and got into a car.

His personal bodyguard Keiko Kaneda also got into the back seat of the car and prepared to leave.

One of his subordinates walked up to the car, bent down to the car window, and asked: "Tsugawa Hideyoshi refuses to withdraw, what should we do?"

Ono Jianji's face was gloomy and he said: "Then let him fight enough. I thought the top ten swordsman masters were so powerful that they couldn't even suppress a boy who was still young in the summer. This Lu Heng can't be kept, he doesn't know how to praise. If you want something, then send him down to see Yan Mo. He must die here today.”

"Yes!" He lowered his head in response.

The windows were raised, the car's engine started, and it slowly left the manor.

Just as he left the gate of the manor, a gunshot rang out.

Bang!

The car shook, and a hole appeared in the bulletproof glass of the car.

Immediately afterwards, Keiko Kaneda's scream came from the back seat of the car: "The president has been shot! Hurry! Someone come quickly!"

The bodyguards in black suits surrounding the car suddenly panicked, pulled out their pistols, and surrounded the car.

"There are snipers! There are snipers!"

A group of bodyguards in black suits looked around with guns raised, but they couldn't find the sniper at all.

Then, a fire appeared in the car.

Ono Kenji's skill [Replacement Puppet] came into effect, turning into a paper puppet and burning.

Keiko Kaneda quickly pulled Ono Kenji under the seat to avoid subsequent snipers.

[Substitute Puppet] can avoid a fatal attack, but the damage received remains unchanged.

Therefore, Ono Kenji was shot in the right chest and was seriously injured.

Keiko Kaneda was about to let the driver drive when her perception skills suddenly noticed something flying down from the sky, and she immediately exclaimed loudly: "There is something in the sky! Shoot it down quickly!"

The bodyguard in black suit looked up, but couldn't see anything.

One of the bodyguards immediately raised his hand to the sky and fired a skill [Source Energy Appearance Dust].

A ball of dust energy rushed into the sky, making the invisible reconnaissance eagle appear.

The scout eagle holds a bomb in its talons and dives downwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang……

The Scout Eagle appeared, and the bodyguard in black suit fired continuously, hitting the bomb.

Boom!

The bomb exploded ten meters in the air, causing the bodyguards on the ground to collapse.

The car also shook. Fortunately, it had bulletproof armor and no one inside was injured.

Keiko Kaneda hurriedly urged the driver: "Hurry! Go to the hospital quickly! Go to Eiko Hospital quickly!"

The car started again, rushed out of the manor, and drove towards Yongxing Private Hospital.

The manor's bodyguard also immediately got into the car, preparing to follow him to the hospital.

This time.

Two cars rushed to the gate of the manor. The door opened, and seven of Lin Zeyu's confidants got out of the car. They used the car door as a cover and started shooting with bang bang bang and started a gun battle with the manor's bodyguards.

The two sides were completely at odds, and a gunfight broke out. It was a fight to the death.

Lin Zeyu shot and killed five of Ono Kenji's bodyguards on the water tower in the distance. Seeing that his side had gained an advantage in the shootout at the manor, he immediately put away his sniper rifle and chased Ono Kenji.
