Chapter 263: Hundred Thousand Winds, Mirror Lotus

At the same time, when attacking, you must shout out the location of the attack - this is why players in kendo competitions must shout out when attacking. Failure to say the location of the attack or if the sound is too low will be judged as an invalid attack.

Of course, in a sense, roaring can also give yourself momentum.

They are all high school students aged 16 or 17. If you yell loud enough or weird enough, the other person might be intimidated by you.

At the same time, after attacking + announcing the attack position, you must immediately distance yourself and make a vigilant posture to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. This is called zanshin.

In this way, a complete set of actions can be considered as a valid score.

Kami Nagisa Kaoru was stunned for a second after being slashed. He couldn't even counterattack with the Iaijutsu?

She found that she seemed to be suppressed in terms of both technique and speed. She thought about it and couldn't find a way to break through, so she fell silent.

Do you want that trick?

But I haven’t practiced well yet. Do I really have a chance?

Kami Nagisa Kaoru's heart was wavering, and his eyes were looking for something in the auditorium with some confusion. All kinds of audience members were blurred into shadows, leaving only the familiar people with encouraging smiles, and the hateful guy named Higashino Yu. , although he didn't smile, he definitely wanted to see himself humiliated and defeated.

The girl bit her teeth gently, with a desperate decision in her eyes. She clenched her bamboo knife and said, "Come again!"

The two men repositioned themselves, Jinguji Hiiragi also assumed a mid-level stance that could be used both offensively and defensively, while Kami Nagisa Kaoru seemed to have given up on the game, with the bamboo sword hanging naturally from his hands and standing still.

Jinguji Hiiragi seemed to see that she was gathering momentum, and did not choose to sneak attack while she was gathering momentum.

It's not out of respect for his opponent or out of pride and complacency. Although Nagisa Kaoru looks like he's ready to be killed, his posture is quite organized and his sword hand is ready at any time. If he attacks rashly, he may fall into passivity.

She thought for two seconds. It was rare to have such an opponent. On a whim, she also wanted to try the stunt she had recently tried.

So I changed the middle posture to a posture that seemed to focus on defense, with my center of gravity lowered, the blade of the sword facing the ground, the tip of the sword backward, holding the sword in my right hand, and holding it empty in my left hand. My thin cherry-colored lips moved slightly, and I recited the Jingjing Sutra silently, with the memory of that day echoing in my heart. The sound of Higashi Yeyu chanting sutras in the afternoon.

In the brilliant Taoist sounds recited with a warm and soft voice full of magnetism, I felt that my thinking gradually became detached and ethereal. The gymnasium gradually disappeared. It seemed that I was the only one left in the world. There was a bright moon in the sky, and under my feet. Boundless mirror lake.

The game has not yet come to an end, but the two are ready to respond with all their strength, respecting both their opponents and themselves.

There were not many such confrontations in kendo competitions, and the audience was a little confused. Some even thought that the two were just stalling for time. If their strength had not been proven long ago, some people would probably start to boo.

"This game seems to be different."

Tomorrow in the audience saw Sanae frowning and felt a little confused.

She didn't know much about swordsmanship. After watching the competition for a few days, she just felt that the reactions and movements of these contestants were very fast. Sometimes the competition was over before she could react.

Dong Yeyu, who was immersed in the freedom and happiness of popcorn, looked up and was a little surprised. This swordsmanship was quite interesting.

After pondering for two seconds, he guessed: "They are gathering momentum. They should be preparing for a special sword technique."

Some schools of swordsmanship in the island country claim to be divinely taught. For example, it is said that Tsukahara Fuden, the founder of Kashima Shinto-ryu, felt the oracle of the God of War on the Hammer during his retreat, "The heart will be cleansed as new, and you will succeed." From this, He suddenly realized the ultimate meaning of Kashima no Tachi and named his school "Kashima Shinto-ryu".

These were probably rumors in the past life, but it's hard to say in this world where gods do exist.

The media silently focused their cameras on the two people on the field, trying to record the clearest picture, and some of them focused on the rostrum.

The faces of several famous kendo masters wearing featheroris sitting in the C seat on the rostrum suddenly became serious.

They were not all demon slayers like Yasuhiro Mikado. Some of them were just mortals with superb swordsmanship. However, at this time, they all sensed the aura of the girl, so they all became moved.

"Is this... a new move?"

The friend looked at Yasuhiro Mikado and asked with a smile: "Yasuhiro, you have a relatively good relationship with the Kaminari family and the Jinguji family. Can you tell me something?"

Other famous swordsmen also looked over. As some of the people standing at the highest level in the field of swordsmanship, they had also dealt with some ancient families.

Although I did realize that there were many secrets in these families, I was just aware of them and would not be rude to ask about them.

Some media who were close to him raised their ears and quickly shot the cameraman on the shoulder, then turned the camera to Yasuhiro Mikado. The big screen was also split into two, with the two contestants facing off on one side and the chairman on the other. Taimikado Yasuhiro's face.

Mikado Yasuhiro pondered for two seconds, and then said after careful consideration of his words: "Kami Nagisa uses a Fuma Itto-ryu unique skill, and its name is Shikumafu."

"Legend has it that this move is a secret skill learned by the fifth ancestor of the Kami Nagisa family after witnessing the battle between the wind god and the demon. It is a swordsmanship that can summon hurricanes."

"Can it really summon a hurricane?" A famous swordsman asked curiously. He had never heard of such swordsmanship.

Yasuhiro Mikado smiled: "Probably not possible, but because the sword is swung too fast, there may be turbulent wind caused by the sword's edge."

"Even a professional swordsman can't do this, right? She is indeed an outstanding female swordsman of the younger generation in Kyushu."

"Yasuhiro, do you think Ueshina can win this round?"

"If she can, that would be great, but Jinguji's swordsmanship is also good."

"Oh?"

"She uses the secret swordsmanship of the Myojin Kyōryū, Mirror Lotus Flower. This swordsmanship also has a legend. It is said that the third-generation ancestor of the Jinguji family, Jinguji Gengoro, listened to the Buddha's lectures in his dream and observed the lotus pond flowers blooming. He realized that he could cut off the body, soul, and even sins together."

When Yasuhiro Mikado said this, he showed a look of nostalgia. After a moment, he came back to his senses and laughed.

"It's just a legend. This is actually a sword technique that can be used for both attack and defense. In other words, it is more defensive. The Jinguji player chose this move to deal with it, probably because he lacked confidence."

When Yasuhiro Mikado said this, he stretched out his arm to the microphone handed over by the media. In fact, he was a little reluctant, as a way to boost the momentum of Kaoru Kamishigami.

As a native of Fukuoka, the Mikado family and the Kamishigami family are both demon hunter families in Fukuoka, so they naturally support Kaoru Kamishigami. The Mikado and Kamishigami have been friends and intermarried since ancient times, and now they are no longer distinguishable. They are all related.

What's more, the descendants of the Kanto demon hunter family came to Kyushu and beat the local family's daughter in the competition. If this is spread out, it will probably be ridiculed by demon hunter families across the country.

After he said that, he stared at the two people in the field and said nothing more.

If it can be used, maybe.

Yukio Mikado was looking forward to it. Even the middle-aged generation of the Ueshigami family didn't know this move very often, and Xun was probably just beginning to learn it.

Of course, such extraordinary swordsmanship is not comparable to ordinary swordsmanship, even if it is just beginning to learn it, but the swordsmanship used by the opponent is also extraordinary.

Gradually, the closed venue began to have wind flowing, like the softest gauze brushing across the cheek.

"Can you really summon the wind?" Some spectators looked around and observed with surprise.

"What a fuss, it's just the wind in the ventilation system." Someone explained.

The reporters who were concentrating began to describe the situation on the scene with exaggerated words such as "like a god coming to earth", "howling wind", "ultimate sword", "secret sword secrets" and so on.

Several judges on the rostrum looked surprised, and Yasuhiro Mikado was also a little surprised. Has this girl mastered the 100,000 winds to the extent of raising wind in a quiet room?

Dong Ye Yu stared at Kaori Ueji and Hiiragi Jinguji on the field and was a little confused, suspecting that he had learned fake swordsmanship.

Where is the simple swordsmanship of the practical department? Why did it go in the direction of cultivating immortals?

The female swordsmen are so fierce, so wouldn’t the men’s competition be even more amazing?

Dong Ye Yu originally thought that with his own strength, he should be able to get 60 consecutive cuts, but now he felt a little solemn when looking at the two people on the field.

After all, the Jade Dragon Flag only competes in swordsmanship, and mana cannot be used. Although he has an advantage in physical strength and reaction speed, he has never dealt with such a move that can resonate with the surrounding environment with just swordsmanship.

Although the Sky Blue One Sword Flow is extraordinary, the swordsmanship he has learned so far does not have the expressiveness of Shi Wan Feng.

Yan Fan is the strongest swordsmanship he has mastered so far. It is hard to say whether he will win or lose against the enemy with such a simple move.

Kaori and Shiori also had serious faces and clenched their fists. They had practiced family martial arts since childhood, so they naturally knew the Mingxinjing style.

"My cousin is in danger." Shiori sucked her fingers that had just eaten popcorn, and frowned in thought.

"Is it dangerous?" Higashino Yu was a little confused: "Your cousin's swordsmanship looks very powerful."

"Higashino Nissan, my cousin used Jing Lianhua."

Kaori looked at Higashino Yu, her cute little face full of seriousness: "When this move is used, the sword will turn silver-white, just like the moonlight in the mirror during the full moon, but my cousin's bamboo sword has not changed, and I have never seen her use it before."

"You mean, she hasn't practiced it yet?"

Kaori wrinkled her cute little nose and wanted to say yes, but her cousin's momentum made her a little uncertain: "I don't know."

The referee looked at the time and reminded: "Two players, please don't passively avoid the battle."

The match time of the island country's kendo competition is generally 5 minutes, with 3 minutes of overtime.

The referee will announce the valid score and stop the clock during the game.

The game is scored on a 3-point system, and whoever gets 2 points first wins.

If one side gets 1 point first and the opponent fails to score before the end of the game time, the one who gets 1 point wins.

If the two sides cannot decide the winner within the legal time, the winner will be decided by overtime, and whoever scores first in the overtime wins.

At the same time, if you do not fight with your opponent during the duel, the referee will judge it as passive avoidance and penalize one point.

It seems that because of the referee's urging, Kaori Uejima slowly raised the bamboo sword above her head. In an instant, the breeze in the stadium disappeared, and the colorful rope wrapped around the girl's wrist shook violently.

"Please watch carefully, you will be defeated by the unique skill of Fuma Ittoryu!"

"Wind!"

She said in a deep voice, and jumped up. Her body was light, but her trajectory was unpredictable, as if she had turned into a fallen leaf drifting in the wind, but the bamboo sword in her hand was like a hurricane raging in the world, slashing towards Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami with a devastating attitude.

The little face under the armor of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami remained unmoved, she just whispered something softly, and the bamboo sword in her hand slashed against the trend from the lower blade, the sword light swept out a phantom, the girl's figure was wrapped in a silver full moon, and a silver lotus bloomed in the full moon.

But the bamboo sword is green, how can it swing out silver light and shadow?

Before the people present had time to think about this question, the howling hurricane dissipated in the tranquility of the full moon.

Plop!

Ueji Kaoru's body had already fallen on the wooden floor of the competition, and the gust of wind on the sword spread throughout the venue, carrying Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's whisper to the distance. Although the sound was very small, everyone could hear it.

"The mirror lotus blooms, and the flowers bloom forever."

Because it was a bamboo sword and was wearing heavy armor, and neither of them used magic power, the damage caused was not great.

Ueji Kaoru just felt a stuffiness in his chest and lay on the floor in a daze.

The referees exchanged a few words with each other. Because Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami did not have a kikai, they did not award the red team a point. When they were about to announce the continuation of the game, Kaoru Uehara raised her hand.

"I give up."

She took off her mask with some difficulty, sat on the floor, and looked quite depressed: "I lost to you again, Jinguji."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami also took off his mask, and a few strands of hair were wet on his smooth forehead, and his fair face was a little ruddy.

She stared at Kaoru Ueyama for a few seconds. Her eyes, pure as the night, were quite sharp. Seeing that she was depressed but still full of fighting spirit, she showed some appreciation, and stretched out her heroic willow-leaf eyebrows. She reached out and pulled her up from the ground: "Compared with last time, you have improved a lot."

"But I am still not your opponent."

"Why do you have to compete with others? Is honor really that important?"

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami said seriously: "What you need to defeat is yourself."

Kaoru Ueyama was unmoved by what he said, but just smiled: "Only the winner is qualified to say such words. When I finally defeat you one day, I can let go of my obsession."

As she said, she patted her butt and stood up from the floor: "You won, Jinguji, enjoy the victory. But I won't give up. Next time, I will definitely defeat you!"

After that, she was about to leave the competition venue. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "By the way, do you need me to help you deal with that despicable villain?"

"Who?" Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami was a little confused.

"Hitsuno Yu, the one who has been pestering you."

Umi Nagisa Kaoru was so angry when he talked about Hitsuno Yu. Thinking about how he had just been forced to kneel down before him, he wanted to chop him into 100,000 pieces with his family's famous sword, Shiwanfeng!
