Chapter 437 The First Fight with the Sword Master

Exposed?

No, probably not.

Liu Xia made such a judgment in the dark.

If he really found himself, he would have drawn his knife directly to him instead of being on guard and turning his eyes to try to find him.

Perhaps he suddenly noticed something was wrong while he was meditating, so he stood up and explored the surroundings.

People who practice martial arts already have good intuition. An intuition like Esdeath's is even enough to form the [Intuition] skill. If Yagyu Munenomi is really a sword master as Musashi said, he will be able to detect it on a whim. It's possible that it's not appropriate.

Moreover, he is also a person who cultivates the mind. He has incredible powers in the mind and becomes very keen in perception.

Lu Xia has never cultivated his mind, and he does not need to cultivate his mind. It is useless for him to cultivate his mind, but it does not prevent him from gaining common sense in this area.

In the dojo.

Liu Xia had no intention of hiding anymore, and simply walked out of the hiding place and entered the sight of Yagyu Munenomi.

The moment he appeared, Yagyu Munenomi cast a sword-filled look at him, a look that could cut off an ordinary person's fighting spirit and courage at a glance.

But Liu Xia didn't mean to be frightened by him at all. Her green pupils still had a calm look, like a machine without any will.

Although he had already put on a dark night suit and a black gauze on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes to look at the enemy, but just in case, he still used the [Change] skill to slightly change own skeletal appearance.

If he took off the black veil now, what would be revealed would be the face of a blond, blue-eyed foreigner, and he would look ordinary, completely different from the person he was before.

"Oh? Is there really a thief lurking in?"

A faint smile appeared on Yagyu Munenomi's face. He just opened his mouth to test and let the enemy run out on his own initiative. He felt that it was too simple and easy. The level of this thief was not as high as he thought.

Liu Xia didn't say a word to him. He directly raised the Myojin Kiri in his hand, and then slashed at him with the sword.

He didn't use much strength, not even one-fifth of his normal strength. He just rushed towards the opponent with slightly stronger strength than ordinary people.

But even so, the sword he swung was still as sharp as cutting through the air, making the air flow surge, and he swung towards the opponent with the flickering light of the sword.

The old man, who was nearly seventy years old, calmly faced the knife. He placed his right hand on the handle of the knife at the waist of his left hand, then slightly bent his legs, and stretched his body like a long bow, in an extremely standard posture. He swung the knife forward.

"Qiang!"

The next moment, the blades of the two swords collided together, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.

The old man saw through the path of his sword very accurately, and blocked his sword in front of him with an ordinary left cut, preventing him from moving forward an inch.

After the sword was blocked, Liu Xia did not hesitate at all, and took action again. In an instant, he swung three swords in succession, attacking his head, heart, and waist and abdomen respectively.

"oh?"

The old man let out a light sigh, then lowered the handle of the knife, blocking the knife in front of his waist and abdomen, and blocked the real knife again easily.

"You obviously have such a good target as your head and heart, but the real knife cuts to the waist and abdomen...Are you testing me?"

Without using sword energy to attack, the so-called three sword swings in a row are actually just two feint moves hiding a real move. If you cannot judge or make a mistake, you will be seriously injured or even die on the spot.

But this is just a trick used against second- and third-rate swordsmen, and of course it cannot be effective against truly powerful swordsmen.

"It's not a vain reputation, that's good."

Liu Xia secretly nodded his head like a comment. He was indeed testing just now. After all, he was here for a kendo sparring session, not to kill people. Of course, he would not directly use all his strength. Otherwise, the opponent might be lying on the ground now. Then he A rare opportunity was wasted.

But this way, you can get serious about it.

As soon as the thought fell, Liu Xia's sword force suddenly changed, and the speed of the sword suddenly became fierce. Each sword was roaring and violent like a strong wind, causing the sword light to cover Yagyu Munenki's whole body.

"snort."

The old man snorted softly, then also increased his sword speed, and still cut off Liu Xia's sword path with a seemingly simple but precise sword path, blocking all his sword rays from around him.

His swordsmanship does not seem to have the slightest power. Compared with Liu Xia's swordsmanship, which is obviously extraordinary, it seems to be inferior, but it has a sense of stability and heaviness like a mountain, and it is vaguely superior.

The power of Liu Xia's sword changed again, the speed of the sword became as fast as lightning, and the movements of the whole person also seemed to move like lightning, giving people a sense of rapidity that could not be responded to.

Yagyu Muneki blocked it steadily again. Even if he directly collided with Liu Xia's sword, his arm did not tremble or become paralyzed at all. His body was still strong and powerful, and his movements were still vigorous and quick.

Liu Xia's eyes moved slightly.

Then he changed the power of the sword for the third time, making the power of the sword as explosive and hot as a flame.

"Boy, who are you from Miyamoto Musashi?"

Yagyu Munenomi still had a calm expression on his face. While resisting all his sword skills again, he still asked questions with ease.

"I have never fought against Miyamoto Musashi, but I heard that his sword has four postures: earth, fire, water, and wind. Your sword is quite similar to his. Are you his disciple?"

According to historical records, the "Five Rings Book" transcribed by Miyamoto Musashi contains four volumes of earth, water, fire, wind, and space. However, except for the water volume, which explains Niten's first-class techniques, the other volumes have more It tells about strategy and the art of war, and the last volume of the Sky Scroll is even more confusing. It has nothing to do with the momentum of the sword itself. There is no fantasy saying that the sword's power is like fire or the sword's power is like water.

However, Ryuka, who had learned swordsmanship from the female Musashi, knew that her sword did contain the four principles of earth, water, fire, and wind. Her whole body sword—Six Paths, Five Wheels, and Kurigara Celestial Phenomenon—combined these four principles. All the principles are included, forming the four leading swords, and then the last sword that contains the principle of "empty".

Therefore, there are differences between the historical Miyamoto Musashi and the female Musashi known to Ryuka. Not only are the principles of swords different, but the previously mentioned sword fighting and wakizashi are also different types.

Ruka ignored Yagyu Munenomi's words and just made the sword power in his hand change again. This time it became as hot and long as the sun.

Within a period of time, Liu Xia has changed into several sword skills that match the breathing method——
