Xi'e was bleeding from all his orifices and immediately fell to the ring.
The little girl held a needle in her hand and stabbed Xi E in the back of the head!
Everyone was shocked. Even the doctor looked at Xi'e's symptoms and restrained himself. He could only watch helplessly with everyone as the little girl kept pricking Xi'e's back of the head, Yintang, and throat with needles.
After a while, Xi E regained consciousness. He glanced at Nangong Feihong silently and followed the little girl staggering off the ring.
"Nangong Feihong of the Heavenly Sword Alliance wins! In the next match, Shuizhang Xinmian will face Hwarang of the Beggar Clan!"
After the secretary finished reading, he waited quietly for the two contestants to come on stage. Minakou Shinmyeon had arrived early, but Hwarang couldn't wait to come, and he couldn't wait to come.
After waiting for a long time, a man who looked like a little beggar hurried over, looked around, and handed a letter to the conference director.
The secretary was stunned, and when he saw that the name was Hwarang, he opened it and read out: "Because the beautiful lady has an appointment, it is inconvenient to attend the martial arts competition. Don't be surprised!"
He was so angry that he immediately announced: "Hwarang automatically abstains from the contest! He is disqualified! This time, Mizunoge Shinmyeon wins!"
"Ah? Minato was closing his eyes on the stage and waiting for a fierce fight. He was surprised when he heard what the chief said: There is such a good thing, can we win without fighting? It's just a pity that we can't see the beggar gang.
Martial arts!
The Secretary continued: "The first knockout round of the top ten competitions of the martial arts tournament has ended, and now the promotion list is announced: Tan Liang, Liu Yin, Nangong Feihong, Minazue Nobumian. Shaolin Temple Master Wu Ming voluntarily gave up and is not included in the promotion. All
The players who have advanced to the top ten can now collect the bonus of 500 taels each. After a doctor's examination later, since none of the advanced players were seriously injured, it was decided to give the players three hours of rest time, followed by the semi-finals.
!”
The spectators in the audience cheered loudly! After watching the top ten and the semi-finals, they all felt that the trip was worthwhile! Some even felt that three hours was too long.
Except for Tan Liang, whose injury was a bit troublesome and needed bandaging, the other contestants in the semi-finals were all seriously injured. They were all taking the time to rest or study other people's martial arts methods.
Three hours passed quickly, and the chief returned to the ring: "The four contestants drew lots on the spot, and now the result of the draw is announced: "Tan Liang vs. Nangong Feihong, Liu Yin vs. Shuizhang Xinmian!"
Now for the first game, Liu Yin trusts Shuizhang!"
Wynn didn't wear a royal guard uniform, so he simply sat with the red crow pretending to be outside the hospital. He looked at Liu Yin and then at Nobuno Mizunoue: "Who do you think will win? The two of them."
"I think Liu Yin is stronger." Red Crow kept looking at Liu Yin intently.
Facing the overwhelming cheers from the audience, both of them were as solemn as statues standing in the wind.
Liu Yin showed a rare seriousness on his face. Minato Nobuno also drew his arc sword early. Both of them felt a strong pressure from their opponents.
The weather with clear skies suddenly began to be covered by dark clouds, and strong winds began to rise.
The strong wind was so strong that everyone in the audience was blown away.
The two of them remained as still as statues, staring intently at their opponents.
Suddenly a leaf came with the wind and covered Liu Yin's eyes!
Minato Nobuno immediately unleashed his sword moves, and a series of consecutive slashing movements were neat and free, with no gaps in continuity. Liu Yin lost the opportunity and took a defensive position, but the defense was very steady. Mizuno Nobuno suddenly changed to holding the sword with both hands and facing sideways.
, the force of the blow was almost twice as strong as before! Liu Yin found it difficult to parry, but fortunately his wrist strength was good, so he was not at a disadvantage for a while.
Liu Yin dodged the sideways quick attack of Shinmatsu Minakou with swords in both hands, and turned around, holding swords in both hands and facing Shinmatsu Minugoue sideways. It was the same as his posture.
Minazue Nobuzuki tilted his head slightly, a little surprised but then attacked, but he was even more surprised later: Liu Yin's sword moves seemed to be exactly the same as his, and even some small details were copied perfectly.
! Before he had time to slash with the "Maple Red Wind Slash", Liu Yin was already waiting for him halfway with a "Chessboard Slash". He was shocked and turned back to block with his sword, only to see the swords of the two of them.
The violent collision sent out dazzling sparks!
Liu Yin's move "Chessboard Slash" was one of Minato Nobuno's secret moves. He was forced to kneel down by the powerful force of this move. That's it, Liu Yin's
The blade still had a slight edge over his block, and the sword cut a bloody gash on his shoulder.
Nobuno Mizunou endured the pain and got up with all his might, pushing Liu Yin away!
He didn't expect that the secret technique he had learned almost with all his life would be learned so easily!
When Minato Nobuno was nineteen years old, he was already well-known in the Fuso swordsmanship world. He practiced hundreds of swordsmanship and defeated several famous swordsmen who had been famous for a long time.
One day, he met Togo Shigemasa, a famous swordsman from Kyushu, and asked to learn swordsmanship with him.
Unexpectedly, Togo Shigemasa just glanced at him and walked away without saying a word.
The full-blooded Minato Shinmian suddenly felt insulted and drew his sword.
Togo Shigemasa seemed to have no choice but to draw his sword.
Minakami Shinmatsu slashed directly at Togo Shigemasa with a series of slashes. Togo Shigemasa didn't even look at him. He jumped up and made a fierce sword move from the sky. The sword was shaken and fell to the ground! The tiger's mouth opened and blood flowed.
The flow doesn’t stop!
Minato Nobuno felt his ears buzzing, and his right hand was so trembling that he couldn't even lift the sword. He asked tremblingly: "What sword move did you use?"
Togo Shigemasa sheathed his sword: "Chessboard chop".
Minakami Shinmian hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked to enter the training under Dongxiang Shigemasa.
However, Togo Shigemasa had a condition when he agreed: "You must defeat me once before I can teach you "chessboard chop"!"
Isn’t this just kidding? Why would I want to be your disciple if I can defeat you? Minato Nobuno almost fainted after hearing this, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
He waited for several years. Three years later, Minato Nobuno finally defeated Togo Shigemasa after a hard battle. While he was waiting with full hope for Togo Shigemasa to teach him "chessboard chop", his master smiled and said
: "You have been studying, and you have obtained the seal of Dongchuan Liu!"
It turns out that chessboard chop can only be learned in actual combat.
However, the person in front of him could actually use the "Chessboard Slash" freely after having seen him perform it once in the audience! This made him shudder. His view of martial arts was suddenly shattered.
In order not to fall behind, Minazue Shinmian began to frequently change his moves, but he found that this was in vain, because Liu Yin himself had a strong martial arts foundation, and his defense gathered almost all the martial arts schools in the Central Plains.
Essence, all of his tried-and-tested tricks have no effect on him! The most frustrating thing is that every time he uses a move, his opponent will immediately counterattack with the same move!
He began to feel that his defeat was only a matter of time, and he even suspected that he changed his position in the ring because Liu Yin wanted to continue to steal his tricks.
Another powerful slash was dodged by Liu Yin. Liu Yin took advantage of the situation and swung his sword. The blade of the sword slashed across the left cheek of Mizugo Shinmian who hurriedly avoided it, leaving a blood mark on his face.
Blood flowed into his eyes, and the world in his eyes suddenly turned red.
When was the last time he bled? He almost couldn't remember.
Due to the melee of the daimyo, the life of the peasants was miserable. Carrying a meager suitcase on his back, he practiced practice everywhere and saw so much human tragedy and human tragedy. He knew that the sword in his hand alone could not fundamentally solve the problem, and he could not
I am willing to intervene in matters that concern me. But————
"Mom, get up quickly~~I'm Sakura~~Mom, what's wrong with you?" A **-year-old girl in tattered straight clothes desperately shook a woman in tattered clothes who was lying in a pool of blood.
It was a small town where houses were on fire and the ground was full of dead bodies and crows.
After seeing all this, Nobuno Minakou was very confused: No one can offend the neutral Shang Town. They are all businessmen and they pose no threat to anyone. Who would do such a cruel thing?
He looked down at the dead woman. Her clothes were not covering her body, and she had obviously been humiliated before her death. The little girl beside her who kept crying found some rags around and tried hard to remove her clothes.
My mother covered her. After seeing Xin Mian, she stared at him warily and took out a small awl: "Don't touch my mother! Don't touch me!"
At this time, a man dressed as a distraught businessman limped past Xin Mian in despair. He grabbed him by the collar and pushed him to the ground: "Tell me! What happened here? Who would attack Shang Ming?"
When the man saw his ronin attire, he was so frightened that he said, "Sir, please forgive me! I really have no money!"
Xin Nian finally managed to calm him down, and he told everything tremblingly.
As a merchant town, they have their own principles. They have never owed a penny of the food collected from the nearby daimyo, and they regularly pay tribute to the bandits on the nearby mountains without any disrespect. However——————
Recently, another group of bandits appeared. They demanded that they be given a separate share every month. The amount was too large for us to bear. Later I found out that they did not really want money, but were trying to destroy them in order to establish their authority in the neighborhood.
Village!
"They are really not human! If I were a warrior, I would definitely kill them all with my own hands!" The businessman stood up bluffingly.
Minato Nobuno gave him a cold look: "But you are not~~"
The little girl next to him suddenly cried loudly - the sound seemed to tear his heart apart.
"Master Samurai! Please avenge the deaths of several of our townsfolk! I will give you whatever you want! I just ask you to kill those bandits!" the businessman said through gritted teeth.
"Your town has been burned down, what is left? What can you give me? As a businessman, don't you know that you must keep your word?" Minato Nobuno packed up and prepared to hit the road to find those mountains.
thief.
The merchant thought he was going to just sit back and walk away, so he quickly stood in front of him: "Samurai-sama! Although I can't give you the money to rebuild Shang Town now, I have some goods that you will definitely be interested in!
He took Xin Mian to a secret room, and saw that it was filled with Kiku Masamune sake (a relatively rare ancient Japanese liquor).
"Oh~~ You, a profiteer, have a lot of good stuff!" Xin Mian looked at the barrels of famous wine in surprise, his mouth watering.
He turned around and pretended to be serious and said to the businessman and the sad little girl: "You are lucky! The purpose of my coming here is to taste the famous Ju Zhengzong! Wait for my news!"
The businessman and the little girl quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Thank you, Master Samurai! Please! Please!"
