The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 200 The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul
Yagyu Soujiro respected the attitude of these two people.

Although, the two of them looked younger than him.

Because, the strength of these two people made him have to pay attention.

They are Yoko Sasaki and Yoko Chiba, and they are the top swordsmen in Dongying Martial Arts today.

Sasaki Kyoyo was wearing a black and white kendo uniform, with a soft beard on his chin.

His eyes were lowered, staring at the tea in the cup, as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world.

Although his surname is Sasaki, the kendo he has learned is not the "Iwakyu" handed down by his family, but the "Innocently Chuanxiangtori Shinto Style" handed down by the so-called ancestor of Dongying Kendo.

After that, he traveled all over Dongpu, challenging all major schools of kendo with the sword in his hand, and there was no defeat among his peers.

After five years of cultivation, he defeated many old masters and was known as the top five existence in Dongying swordsmanship.

Sasaki Yushi is only in his early forties this year, and his cultivation is already at the level of the [Great Swordsman].

And the other person is not simple.

Although she is a woman, her swordsmanship is also infinitely close to the [Great Swordsman] level.

Chiba Yoko looks about thirty, but no one knows her real age.

Because people who know her, see Chiba Yoko, seem to have always looked like this.

Gentle, beautiful, elegant manners.

She is not only good at appearance, but also generous in conversation, witty, and even proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It can be said that Chiba Yoko is a rose in the martial arts circle of Japan, but unfortunately this rose has thorns.

All those who coveted her beauty were stabbed by this rose in the end.

It's not that no one has thought of revenge, but she is not alone.

Yoko Chiba is the elder sister of the head of the Chiba family. The ancestral lineage of the Chiba family [Northern Star One Sword Style], they have opened many dojos, and they are the largest force in the Edo area.

From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many famous swordsmen have learned kendo in the dojo opened by the Chiba family! !

What's more, Chiba Yoko herself is not a weak woman.

"I don't know Patriarch Liu Sheng knows, Master Wuji notified us to come, why?"

Chiba Yoko's voice is mature, intellectual, and magnetic. Just by listening to the voice, one can tell that the owner of this voice must be a charming person.

Hearing Chiba Yoko's question, Sasaki Keise stopped looking at the tea in the cup and raised his head slightly to listen quietly.

Yagyu Soujiro was neither humble nor overbearing, and said with admiration: "I don't know the specifics. However, the Great Elder said that he is going out today and asked me to invite the two of you over."

Although the strength is not as good as these two, Yagyu Soujiro is not afraid because of the man standing behind him - Yagyu Wuji! !

The ceiling of the Dongying Martial Arts Festival.

Speaking of Yanagyu Wuji, Sasaki Yoshi and Chiba Yoko couldn't help but straighten their bodies a bit.

It shows the respect the two have for this man.

Sasaki Yushi suddenly thought of something: "Patriarch Liu Sheng, just now you said that Lord Wuji is going to leave the customs??!"

Liu Sheng Wuji's kendo practice reached the level of "Great Swordsman" many years ago, and the fact that he has been in seclusion for seven years is not a secret among the kendo families.

Now it’s time to leave the customs, could it be——

Yagyu Soujiro just smiled mysteriously, he naturally knew what Sasaki Kaiyo was guessing.

In fact, he thought so himself.

Chiba Yoko smiled softly: "It seems that Master Wuji has taken that step!! Then Yoko is here to congratulate Patriarch Liusheng in advance."

"Hahaha..." Yagyu Sojiro laughed loudly, "If the Great Elder can really take that step, it will be a happy event for all of us. I believe that the Great Elder's intention to invite the two of you is not just for nothing."

Yagyu Soujiro's words made the two think of a possibility.

Sasaki Yuyo and Chiba Yoko looked at each other, and their eyes were not only a little fiery.

"Report~~~"

A servant announced loudly.

"Come in."

Yagyu Soujiro ordered.

The servant said: "Patriarch, the Great Elder has already left the customs. He asked the Patriarch to take two guests to the back mountain."

Yagyu Soujiro stood up, unable to hide his joy: "You two, please!"

…………

Yagyu family behind the mountain.

When Yagyu Soujiro brought the two of them here, what he saw was Yagyu Wuji sitting cross-legged on the bluestone slab.

According to seniority, Yagyu Wuji is actually Yagyu Soujiro's uncle.

It's just that he concentrated on kendo and never married in his life.

"Uncle..."

When Yagyu Soujiro opened his mouth, he seemed to wake up from something.

It was clearly daytime, but when Yagyu Wuji's eyes swept over, Yagyu Soujiro, Sasaki Yoko and Chiba Yoko suddenly felt the whole world light up.

Like thunder shining through the night.

Then the three of them saw an extremely dazzling blade suddenly appear from the void.

That knife is completely natural.

Once it appeared, it became the brightest existence in the whole world.

Everything else looked so dim under the light of this knife.

The three of them felt a great terror coming.

They wanted to dodge, but they couldn't control their bodies at all, and they couldn't even move their fingers.

They watched helplessly as the knife passed through their bodies.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Just when the three of them thought they were dead, their eyes changed and they returned to the back mountain.

There was no cold knife in front of him, only Liu Sheng Wuji looked at the three of them quietly.

"This is……???"

The three of them are still in shock, their clothes soaked in cold sweat behind their backs.

Liu Sheng Wuji said calmly: "The sword cuts the body, and the heart cuts the soul."

A word out.

Breeze rises.

Cherry blossoms fall.

The three exclaimed: "[Sword Master] Realm!!"

Sasaki Yuyo and Chiba Yoko were immediately grateful.

After enduring the attack of the spiritual blade this time, the two of them had a rough understanding of the power of the [Sword Master] Ultimate Realm.

The two believed that as long as they submerged for a while, they could naturally become the level of the [Great Swordsman].

But at the same time, the hearts of the two were also tense.

There is an old saying in that ancient country in the East: "If you show courtesy to others, you must ask for something."

The two of us received his advice, and if he spoke later, it would be difficult for the two of us to refuse.

…………

Magic City.

Hong Kang has been here for only a few days, and he has seen what is called "Ten Miles Foreign Market".

Foreigners from various countries built bridges and paved roads, built churches, medical clinics, teahouses and wine shops, and places for sensuality in their own concessions.

The refugees who were displaced by the turmoil lamented in various ways in the face of the "Huatang Building" in the Pidgin Concession.

Today, the most resounding name on this path is a man named Cheng Daqi.

He was originally a protégé of Hong Shouting, the inspector of the French Concession, but for some unknown reason, Hong Shouting burned his teacher's invitation and chose to become a brother of the opposite sex with him instead.

The experience is nothing short of legendary! !
During this period of time, many people joined Cheng Daqi's command and became his disciples.

Cheng Daqi also played his own signboard—【Dingshe】.

Hong Kang felt that the name Hong Shouting was vaguely familiar before, but after hearing the name Cheng Daqi, he finally remembered who these two were? ! !
