Chapter 855: Master-Disciple Duel! Prajna Vs. Boss Kiryu! [5100]
A gentle breeze comes.
The light slanting down from the gaps between the branches showed a network shape, reflecting on the bodies of the master and the apprentice, old and young, swinging rapidly like a pendulum.
As soon as Hannya finished speaking, he immediately received a response from Boss Kiryu:
"Katsuki, long time no see."
Boss Kiryu stood expressionless in the open space filled with fallen leaves.
When Katsumi emerged from the layers of dense forest, his unruffled appearance showed slight changes.
Nostalgia, regret, sadness...all kinds of emotions were beautifully mixed together and hung on the old man's cheeks.
But in just a moment, he suppressed these distracting thoughts and returned to his indifferent appearance, without sadness or joy.
The reunion between master and apprentice was not grand, but seemed very peaceful.
With relaxed and casual steps, Hannya moved to a place ten meters away in front of Boss Kiryu.
"Master, I'm curious, how did you know I was here?"
Boss Kiryu said coldly:
"This kind of thing doesn't matter at all, right?"
When Prajna heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed dumbly:
"Ha, that's right. Whatever happens to this kind of thing is fine. To be honest, I don't really care how you found me."
As he spoke, he swept his gaze, looked at Boss Kiryu up and down, and said in a tone of deep emotion:
"Master, if you look carefully, you...have become much older."
"Yes. The disciple went astray - every time I think about this, I feel like there is another wrinkle on my face."
Prajna sneered a few times: "Humph":
"'go astray'?"
"Then I'm curious. Why did I go astray?"
"Does it mean that correcting your mistakes is going astray?"
Speaking of this, Prajna suddenly raised his voice and his tone became particularly excited.
"Master! Why don't you understand?"
"This is your fault! You failed to correctly assess my strength!"
"That sword... Vairochana should belong to me!"
"I am the master of Vairocana!"
"Why refuse to acknowledge my strength?!"
"Why don't you let me inherit your mantle?!"
"Why did you pass on Vairocana to that Ju Qingden?!"
"Is it because that Tachibana Aoden is stronger than me?!"
The more Prajna spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were about to burst, and he glared at Qingdeng fiercely.
Boss Kiryu raised his gaze without fear and looked at Hannya openly.
"Yes, you're right."
"It is because Mr. Tachibana is stronger than you that I passed on Vairocana to him and regarded him as my legitimate heir."
As soon as he said this, Prajna immediately laughed out loud "hehehe" as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Boss Kiryu’s words continued:
"Also, I said you went astray not because you disagree with my judgment of your strength, nor because you tried to rob Vairochana by force."
"I can understand and forgive your actions."
"What I can't tolerate is... you actually joined the Fa Zhu Party! Worked for the Fa Zhu Party!"
Boss Kiryu lowered his eyelids, his facial lines suddenly tightened, and his cheeks were filled with a stern look.
"To be honest, after learning that you became a member of the Fa Zun Party, I finally understand how those parents feel when they find out that their children have become Yakuza."
"Compared with the Fa's execution of the Party, I would rather have you become Yakuza!"
"Even without me introducing you, you should know what kind of association the Fa Zhu Party is that cares little about human life, right?"
After hearing this, Prajna raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"What? Master, I've been doing this for a long time. It turns out you're angry about this."
"Yes, I did join the Fa Zun Party."
"But so what?"
"I don't care whether the Fa Zhu Party is a friendly association that helps people in need, or a devil's nest that does all kinds of evil!"
"I admit that when I tried to rob Vairocana and leave the school, it was indeed impulsive and passionate."
“However, now that I think about it, I am extremely glad for my original decision!”
"It is precisely because I left you that I realized how vast the world is!"
"I'm ashamed to say that I was really too arrogant at that time. I mistakenly thought that I was one of the strongest swordsmen in the world."
"It wasn't until I met Shuten Doji by chance that I was shocked to realize how insignificant I am!"
"As for the Otake Maru I met later, it was an eye-opener for me!"
"Obviously a person with a physical disability, but he can possess this terrifying power that is like a god!"
"These two are monsters among monsters! They are the real chosen ones!"
“I am deeply moved by their strength!”
"Compared to them, I'm still far behind! I can still become stronger!"
"Just to be able to compete with Otakemaru and Shuten Doji all the time, I resolutely joined the Hōzhu Party!"
"As long as I can become stronger, as long as I can become the strongest swordsman unparalleled in a thousand years, not to mention working for the Fa Zun Party, I am willing to do anything!"
Boss Kiryu listened quietly without any reaction.
After finishing his Prajna words, he slowly said:
"...That's it."
Prajna frowned:
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Prajna, this is how you disappoint me."
Boss Kiryu cast a sharp, arrow-like gaze at Hannya, his eyes piercing.
"Your eyes can only see yourself, obsessed with power."
"I thought I could become stronger by improving my strength and agility and continuously improving my swordsmanship."
"But is that really the case?"
"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still standing still."
"Self-control... No, Prajna! I can assert that you haven't become stronger!"
"You are no different now than you were back then! You're still so weak!"
The resounding tone made the atmosphere on the scene stagnate.
Prajna stared at Kiryu boss in a daze, her expression dominated by strong confusion.
Suddenly, he sneered, and then laughed at the sky like a rage:
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"I'm standing still?"
"I haven't become stronger?"
"I'm still so weak?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
The woods were filled with Prajna's laughter, disturbing the wind.
After a while, Prajna gradually stopped laughing - at the same time, the confusion on his face gradually turned into resentment.
"Master, you are so bold to say that."
"In the past few years, I have worked hard to practice and finally reached the current level."
"But in your words, I have become stagnant?"
"In that case... Master, use your own body to actually feel whether my strength has become stronger!"
After saying that, he raised his left hand to press the opening of the saber sheath on his left waist, and reached out to touch the handle.
"Master, you came at the right time today."
"I just happened to bring my favorite sword this time!"
He raised his left thumb and pressed against the sword guard. With a "clang" sound, the sword was pulled out of the sheath, revealing the red copper latch.
Afterwards, accompanied by the crisp sound of "clang clang clang", Prajna pulled out the sword inch by inch.
The blade reflected a clear cold light, and the creepy sword light wandered in the air and drilled into the eyes of Kiryu boss.
Kiryu boss, who was born in the Yamada Asaemon family and had seen countless swords, immediately recognized what this sword was.
"Kotetsu?"
Hannya grinned:
"That's right! It's Kotetsu of Chosone! The genuine product forged by Okisato Chosone himself!"
Okisato Chosone - the legendary swordsmith who made Kotetsu famous.
The "Kotetsu of Chosone" held by Isami Kondo is just a fake imitation of Kotetsu - although it is a fake, it still has extremely sharp lethality!
It is conceivable how terrifying the genuine Kotetsu would be.
"This precious sword was given to me by Yamata no Orochi after I agreed to join the Fazhu Party."
"Master, you have to be careful."
"The sword in my hand is the best among the Kotetsu. Even if it faces Vairocana, it will not be at a disadvantage!"
"Now that you have given Vairocana away, with the inferior sword on your waist, if you are not careful, you may end up with the sword destroying people and killing people."
The Kiryu boss responded indifferently:
"You don't have to worry about that."
The next moment after he finished speaking, he also held the sheath of the sword on his waist with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to draw the sword.
At the same time, his aura rose step by step as the blade gradually came out of the sheath.
While feeling the awe-inspiring aura emanating from Kiryu boss, Prajna excitedly shouted:
"Master, although you look much older, you are still strong!"
"Ha, ha ha ha! I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Since I left my master, I have been thinking about fighting you again all the time!"
"Let me be frank, I will not show mercy just because you are old or because of our old relationship!"
Kiryu boss held his head high:
"Don't worry, just use whatever tricks you have!"
"Today, let us make a final decision between master and disciple!"
After shouting, he lowered his waist, held the sword with both hands, and posed in a unique blue-eyed posture.
"Flying Swallow Zanshin-ryu"
"Yamada Asaemon Yoshitsune!"
Seeing this, Prajna sneered and moved the muscles of his shoulders and neck, then lowered his waist like Kiryu boss, held the sword with both hands, and posed in a unique blue-eyed posture - the two people's sword-holding postures were exactly the same.
"Hien Zanshin-ryu"
"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi!"
The next moment, the two disappeared from their original positions at the same time!
When they reappeared, the fallen leaves on the ground were blown up by the strong wind pressure caused by their running, and flew all over the sky.
Hannya flashed in front of Kiryu boss - Kiryu boss did the same.
Then there was a "swoosh" sound, and Nagasone Kotetsu made a sharp and piercing sound, sweeping towards where Kiryu boss was standing.
Kiryu boss didn't even look at the path of the sword, and lightly dodged Nagasone Kotetsu's blade by dodging to the side.
The next moment, a silver light flashed from his armpit! It bounced towards Hannya's chest like a whip!
Dang!
Hannya quickly pulled the sword back to her hand and deflected Kiryu boss's slash.
In a flash, the two rushed towards each other at the same time! Hand-to-hand combat!
Kiryu boss slashed Hannya's shoulder.
Prajna lowered her body and chopped towards Kiryu boss's waist and abdomen with a downward structure.
For a moment, the flashes of swords danced between the two.
Compared with the speed of their swords, the wind blowing through the forest seemed a little slow.
Both of them were from the Yamada Asaemon family and practiced the "Executioner Sword Technique". Their sword techniques showed amazing similarities.
They were both so fast and so accurate! They chopped at the vital parts of the human body without any error!
If you dodge too slowly or miss the chance to block, you will either die or be disabled!
Suddenly, the two of them stepped back at the same time, keeping a distance between them.
They had fought so fiercely just now that it would not be surprising if someone was killed on the spot.
But now, after a closer look, they found that both of them were fine! No wounds or marks, not even a drop of blood on the ground, which was really amazing!
Prajna did not rush to attack again, but asked half-jokingly and half-impatiently:
"Master, why are you fighting so slowly? Where is your incredible breathing method?"
Boss Kiryu did not respond - to be precise, he used "blade" instead of words.
He just stood up, moved his feet quickly, raised his knife and chopped, and in the blink of an eye, his blade was in front of Prajna, slashing Prajna's head.
Prajna adjusted his position calmly and lowered the blade - the next moment, the knife in his palm suddenly lifted from bottom to top! The knife was swift and the momentum was terrifying! The power was far greater than Boss Kiryu's slash!
With just one strike, he broke Kiryu's sword.
As if being scalded by boiling water, Kiryu leaned back and tried to stay away from Prajna.
However, Prajna came close like a shadow, with great momentum, swung his sword forward, pressed down on Kiryu like a mountain falling from the top of a mountain, and launched a continuous pursuit.
He first swung a cassock slash - Kiryu turned around to dodge, and the blade of Nagasone Kotetsu brushed past his temples with a sound of wind.
Then, he adjusted the direction of the blade and slashed upwards - Kiryu Boss dodged again and barely avoided this lightning-fast slash.
Prajna's attack did not stop, and he quickly swung the third sword - the previous move implied the necessary moves for the next move, and he rushed towards Kiryu Boss like a collision, and the tip of the sword stabbed directly into his chest.
Kiryu Boss had no time to dodge, so he could only hold the sword in front and defend on the spot.
Ding! !
Metal and iron collided heavily, shaking the air around.
Although Kiryu Boss survived, half of his sleeve was cut off by the blade, and the cut sleeve drooped limply.
After just a few rounds, the strength of the two was clear.
Looking at the cut sleeve, Kiryu Boss lowered his eyelids, not knowing what to think.
At this time, Prajna laughed arrogantly:
"Hahahaha! Master, look! If you don't use your breathing method, you will be defeated!"
Prajna said and launched another surprise attack, rushing forward in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, the two fought again, back and forth, and neither gave in.
Although the two fought fiercely, anyone could see that Kiryu Boss had been suppressed, with fewer and fewer attacks and more and more defenses.
While attacking repeatedly, Prajna spared no effort to spare her attention and shouted to Kiryu Boss:
"Master, I know what you are thinking!"
"You are just worrying about your own physical strength!"
"The 'selfless state' consumes a lot of physical strength. Once you enter the 'selfless state', your physical strength will be lost as fast as a flood!"
"Physical strength is not your specialty."
"Now that I am old, my physical strength is even worse!"
"If you rashly enter the 'selfless state' and fail to defeat me before your physical strength is exhausted, you will definitely lose. Without a doubt!"
"You are reluctant to enter the 'selfless state' because of this concern. You plan to try my tricks first, and then enter the 'selfless state' when you are sure, and kill me in one go."
"Although your idea is very good, you overlooked one point: after several years of hard training, I am no longer the same person now!"
"Without the blessing of the 'selfless state', you can't fight me now!"
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on for long!"
After that, Prajna released a more fierce attack.
Horizontal chop, vertical chop, diagonal sweep... one move after another, not giving Kiryu boss a chance to breathe!
"Come on! Master, enter the 'selfless state' quickly!"
"You are too weak now! You can't arouse my interest at all!"
"Let's have a good fight!"
Instantly, he swung his knife forward, and the extremely sharp blade once again cut across Kiryu boss's temples.
The next moment, Kiryu boss jumped back like a scallion pulled up from a dry land, slightly away from Prajna.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Prajna who was relentlessly killing him again, as if thinking about something.
"Haaaaa!"
Prajna screamed, aimed at Kiryu boss's throat, raised his hand, and with a "swoosh" sound, the blade cut through the air.
The killing intent and power contained in this attack must not be taken lightly.
The strange thing is that Kiryu boss at the moment did not react at all.
He lowered his head, looked at his toes, his shoulders naturally collapsed, and the knife in his palm dragged on the ground.
Due to the perspective, Prajna could not see Kiryu boss's expression at all.
Everything that followed... all happened in an instant!
Ding! !
The air was filled with the numbing sound of metal clashing against metal—Kiryu Boss swung his sword with one hand, the blade cutting through space, causing Nagasone Kotetsu's sword path to deviate and sweep towards the empty air in vain.
The moment before, Kiryu Boss was still defending against Prajna's attack.
But the next moment, he turned from defense to offense! He turned the action of retracting the sword into a slash! He struck Prajna's right wrist as fast as lightning!
The action was so fast that even Prajna's face changed slightly.
Almost at the same moment when Kiryu Boss swung his sword to counterattack, Prajna did a somersault backwards as a conditioned reflex and jumped to a place 5 or 6 meters away in one breath.
"...Prajna, do you want to see my 'selfless state'?"
Boss Kiryu slowly raised his head as he spoke.
"In that case, then I will do as you wish!"
Following the passionate words, Boss Kiryu's gaze rose with his head and shot straight towards Hannya - a strange light shone in his eyes, and his aura changed significantly.
Prajna lowered his head and glanced at his right arm - although he escaped damage by jumping back just now, his clothes were torn, and half of his short sleeves hung limply.
"Very good...that's how it should be!"
Hannya turned to look at Boss Kiryu and glared at him without fear.
"Now, the real 'Master-Disciple Showdown' begins!"
