Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Or is this actually a Genji sword technique, somewhat similar to the 'one-cut-two-part' technique?"

The art of swordsmanship is finite. In ancient Japanese swordsmanship, it is not difficult to find similar moves. Many moves have the same core principles, but when you go to another school of swordsmanship, they just change their names. This is also very common.

But...it looks too similar.

However, now is not the time to think about such things.

Uesugi Kiyoshi dusted off his sleeves. The Collectors Association's "uniform" was shredded to pieces by the sword, leaving several bloody marks of varying depths on his arm. At the same time, the sword in his hand was reduced to half.

It must be said that Gen Haruya's sword is truly remarkable; its gleaming cold light conceals an unparalleled sharpness.

but

He also possessed equally sharp knives.

Kudo Yuichi once said that swordsmen are all "opportunists," which is actually quite accurate.

When two swordsmen clash, it rarely escalates into a prolonged battle; life and death are often decided in an instant. Therefore, a qualified swordsman will seize any fleeting opportunity.

For example, right now, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Yuan Qing also flicked the knife in his hand and rushed forward without hesitation, intending to cut off Uesugi Kiyoshi's head with a slanted kesa slash.

Before the sword arrived, its aura preceded it.

An invisible sword aura, accompanied by a whistling wind, shattered the curtain of rain and first struck Uesugi Kiyoshi's left chest.

Swordsmen among the extraordinary cultivate "qi".

"Qi" has two functions. First, it strengthens the body and improves physical fitness, which is the essential difference between the extraordinary and the ordinary.

Secondly, it can attach itself to the sword, or it can break free from the sword and become an invincible force, capable of killing people and slaying demons, and is invincible.

Kamiizumi Hidekawa once demonstrated the power of sword energy to Uesugi Kiyoshi; with a casual swing of his wooden sword, he shattered an object more than ten meters away.

Therefore, although the sword energy was invisible, Uesugi Kiyoshi could roughly judge its power and direction of origin based on the trajectory that cut through the wind and rain.

After a moment's hesitation, he abandoned his plan to use the Ghost Fire and the Scroll of a Hundred Ghosts.

This kind of thing is really not worth making a big fuss about.

He slightly turned his body, and the sword energy grazed his cheek, severing a few strands of his hair. The gleaming "knee cut" followed immediately.

Should I use a bare hand to catch this extraordinary blade? To catch it with just my bare hands would be far too arrogant. However, a bare hand isn't entirely useless.

Ultimately, the essence of this new Yin-Yang style lies in training the timing of the enemy's sword strike.

There are three techniques for disarming someone: one is the simple and brutal method of disarming them with bare hands, another is the method of parrying their sword, injuring their wrist, and then disarming them.

Uesugi Kiyoshi used the latter term at this time.

He had already seen the exact path from which Yuan Qingye's sword had come.

With a step back, his body tilted like a roly-poly toy, creating a strange angle that caused Minamoto Haruya's fierce sword strike to miss. Immediately afterward, Uesugi Kiyoshi's left hand, like a snake emerging from its hole, gripped Minamoto Haruya's sword-wielding right hand tightly. His own right hand, bent at the elbow, shot out like a rocket, striking Minamoto Haruya's left chest directly.

Kudo Yuichi, who was standing to the side, felt his teeth ache from watching; he could almost hear the sound of bones cracking.

He had seen Uesugi Kiyoshi undergo strength testing. Even if Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't compare to a humanoid tyrannosaurus like Izumi Rin, he was still a monstrous force, definitely breaking through the limits of humanity.

With a severe blow to his chest, Yuan Qingye felt as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing. He had difficulty breathing, and his legs were so weak that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Uesugi Kiyoya is a swordsman.

He won't give the opponent a chance to turn the tide.

He reached out and grasped, and the chaotic colors of the demon face tattoo on his arm seemed to come alive, meandering and flowing across his arm before finally converging in his palm. The Dojigiri, with its hundred demons as its tsuba, trembled slightly in his hand, reflecting the cold glint of the blade.

Without the slightest pause, Uesugi Kiyoshi's "Onikiri" cleanly and decisively pierced Minamoto Haruya's chest, drawing up a spray of blood.

Two near misses, one rise and fall, victory or defeat, life or death.

The chosen one from the Genji clan, with a look of resentment, collapsed softly to the ground.

Kudo Yuichi peeked over cautiously, then walked over tentatively, clicking his tongue and saying, "Is that all?"

"No way, this is one of the top three swordsmen among the younger generation of the Genji clan. He's slain countless demons and gods. You just killed him with two strikes? That's a bit of an exaggeration."

"He's about your age, and his circumstances are quite similar to yours. I was hoping he could cause you some trouble and make you look embarrassed."

Uesugi cleaned up the large gashs he had made on Minamoto Haruya's chest and back, and shrugged.

"You can't generalize about people. Even when this guy is extremely angry, he's still just a piece of trash."

"What makes him worthy of being called one of the top three swordsmen of the Genji generation? It's not that I look down on him, but even without Rin's intervention, Maki could teach him a lesson in swordsmanship alone."

"Too crude. That move, severing in two with a single cut, if I used it, it wouldn't just leave a few bloody marks—it would at least cripple one of the opponent's arms."

Uesugi Kiyoshi chatted idly, flicked the blood off his sword, and made a blood-vibrating gesture.

He wasn't arrogant; he just felt he hadn't had enough fun.

To be honest, Genji Haru was also impressed by Kudo Yuichi's amazing strength. In addition, he learned from the diary that the "Genji" was an ancient family of superhumans, so he subconsciously developed a lot of interest in the Genji and had high expectations for them.

When we met today and exchanged blows, I discovered he was a third-rate swordsman who would break at the slightest touch.

His disappointment was palpable, and his face was etched with displeasure.

Kudo Yuichi, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, his cheek muscles twitched, and he quickly retreated.

At the same time, he shouted, "Ha! You'll soon find out why he's considered one of the best Genji."

"Qing, get this straight, you're facing a superhuman, not a swordsman fighting. Do you think you've won?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around as if sensing something, and saw Minamoto Haruya sway as he stood up, head down, and swiftly plunged the "Onikiri" in his hand into his own chest.

"What are you doing? Do you want to die at the hands of the enemy and are choosing to commit suicide instead?"

In the blink of an eye, a strange change occurred in Yuan Qing's body.

Onikiri pierced his chest like a key into a lock.

An unbelievable door was opened.

Gen Haruya's skin all over his body seemed to have keratinized, turning pitch black and reflecting a faint light. His kendo uniform was torn to shreds, replaced by armor made of a thick, black liquid that inexplicably seeped from his body, like secretions.

In the blink of an eye, Gen Haruya's appearance changed drastically.

He was completely enveloped in a set of ancient-style armor, making him look like a fully armed general from the Warring States period.

The Onikiri sword that was stuck in his chest had somehow ended up in his hands.

Armored and wielding a sword, with a striking "ghost" emblem on his chest, he resembled a heartless killing machine.

A somewhat familiar word suddenly popped into Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu's personal guard, Onibei!"

Chapter 187 Ghost King and Ghost Soldiers

"What is this thing?"

He muttered something, but his hands didn't stop moving. He darted forward, gripped his sword with both hands, and channeled his power into the blade. He executed the Eight Forms of the Thunder Blade with fluid grace, his entire body like a whirlwind, sweeping towards the stationary Genji Haruya.

He wasn't interested in waiting for the other side to "transform" and become incredibly powerful before playing with him. What was that thing? He could study it slowly after the other side turned into a corpse.

The sound of raindrops pattering against the window was unexpectedly strong. Even the usually sharp-edged Onikiri, Dojigiri Yasutsuna, could only leave shallow scratches on it. The imagined scene of the armor being pierced and the body being cut did not appear.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, having two possible solutions in mind.

Either try using Evil Slash, or summon the true form of the Inugami and smash this monstrous thing into a pancake.

Before he could make a decision, Yuan Qing's eyes, which were covered by the mask, suddenly blazed with red light, and black flames surged. Black ripples also appeared on the knee-cutting blade in his hand. This power actually forced Uesugi Kiyoshi to take a few steps back.

Kudo Yuichi hid behind the car, observing Minamoto Haruya with great interest, while keeping his mouth shut.

"This should be the Oni-bōbu that the Minamoto clan is proud of. The Minamoto clan has mastered the method of forging the Onikiri, and also the method of forging the Oni-bōbu. It is said that this is a secret technique passed down by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the great shogun of the Heian period, inspired by the art of Yin and Yang."

"Onikiri is a sharp blade that can slay demons, while Oni-hei-bu is a strong armor that can withstand Onikiri."

"The Genji have not been in seclusion for long, and the information they have collected is limited. Both of these secret techniques are methods for forging humans or monsters into weapons. It is said that they also require the blood of demons and gods as an auxiliary ingredient. The success rate is extremely low, but once successful, the recipient's strength will achieve a qualitative leap."

"Ha, I see. No wonder Genji hasn't been home for years. He probably has a very high compatibility with one of the Genji's treasured [Demon Soldiers], so he was chosen to be its owner."

“Normally, Genji could use the power of the Oni Soldier to fight off enemies, but your sword was too fast. He didn’t have time to react and died instantly. As a result, the protective properties of the Oni God’s weapon were triggered, and that’s how he ended up like this.”

"Great job, Qing! Keep it up!"

"If we win today, we'll get a lot of gear—a real windfall!"

Kudo Yuichi showed no sign of nervousness and spoke with a smile.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook the rain off his sword, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

"Armor specifically designed to counter Onikiri? Is the Genji crazy? He forged Onikiri himself, and now he needs to guard against it too?"

"."

"Could it be that they are worried that the weapons will rebel?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed inwardly and focused his mind slightly.

If that's the case, then the chances of Evil Slash being effective are much lower. After all, it's a sword technique that relies on a sword to be used, and since Oni-bō can withstand the sharpness of Onikiri, it can naturally suppress the power of Evil Slash as well.

With this thought in mind, at Uesugi Kiyoshi's whim, a ghostly flame quietly appeared before him.

To use the true form of the Inugami, at least one will-o'-the-wisp must be used as a price. Depending on the duration of its existence, Uesugi Kiyoshi will also need to supply more mirage energy and will-o'-the-wisp.

but

The Ghost Soldiers opposite had swelled up to a size, like a Gundam, and the sword in their hands gleamed coldly, looking imposing.

We must use Gundam to defeat Gundam.

In an instant, it seemed as if a roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Shaped by will-o'-the-wisps, manifested by mirages, with battle intent as its soul and sword blade as its bones.

The blue-clad warrior with the head of a dog and the body of a human took a step, and the earth seemed to tremble.

The solidified dog god was poised behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, ready to unleash its power at his command and shatter the clothes rack opposite him.

Uesugi Kiyoshi exhaled a breath of stale air, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid. He took another sip of sake before slowly calming down.

The consumption is still too high.

Let's finish this quickly!

Uesugi Kiyoshi had made up his mind, and he wanted to draw his sword and fight alongside Inugami to completely cut down Minamoto Haru, who was covered in a turtle shell.
