Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

The blade was drawn into his palm, his body arched, and a powerful force erupted from his tiger's mouth, causing the unsharpened sword to sway precariously. If it were an ordinary person, their tiger's mouth would probably go numb, they would lose their grip on the sword, and it would slip from their hand.

However, this opponent's grip on the sword is very steady.

Uesugi Kiyoshi managed to prevent himself from seizing the weapon as he had hoped.

He raised an eyebrow, his interest growing even stronger.

This power definitely belongs to someone who has stepped into the extraordinary realm, and the steadiness with which he wields the sword indicates that he is a swordsman who has received systematic training. Many schools of ancient swordsmanship are old-fashioned and advocate "the sword is the man," so trying to take a sword from those swordsmen is harder than climbing to heaven.

When his first attack failed, Uesugi Kiyoshi immediately changed his move, withdrawing one hand and turning it into a palm, striking the sword horizontally while simultaneously using his feet to propel himself into the attacker's arms.

With his other hand, he made a fist and struck the tiger's mouth of the sword-wielding man. He immediately stood up, channeling his power into his waist and then to his shoulder and elbow, while simultaneously shouting in a low voice.

Iron Mountain Lean is the most hard-hitting move in Bajiquan.

The newcomer seemed to react quickly, turning to the side in an attempt to dodge, but it was too late—Uesugi Kiyotaka advanced and rammed into him, sending the figure flying like a cannonball with a sharp whistling sound, crashing into the courtyard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi held back a third of his strength, otherwise this guy would have been in the ICU if not dead.

Even so, the man was panting heavily on the ground, spitting out blood and foam, and kept coughing, clutching his chest as if he were coughing up his lungs.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps forward casually, glanced at the man, and then looked at his wrist.

His wrist was already bruised and purple; Uesugi Kiyoshi's heavy punch was not so easy to withstand, but even so, he did not drop the sword in his hand.

It truly is a case of "the sword is the man, the man dies when the sword is gone."

Such people are rare nowadays.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression remained unchanged, though he felt a certain appreciation in his heart. However, his tone did not soften and still carried a hint of coldness.

"I'll give you three sentences because of your swordsmanship. After those three sentences, we'll know whether you go to the emergency room or the morgue."

The person Uesugi Kiyoshi laid on the ground was wearing an ordinary tracksuit and had an extremely ordinary appearance. He would be easily lost in a crowd and would look like any other office worker. He was in his thirties and his face showed some signs of aging. He had short, energetic hair and, if he had to point out a good quality, he had a good physique.

He was smiling wryly, looking up at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a complicated expression.

"As expected. It's no exaggeration to say that he defeated me within three moves."

He muttered to himself, his eyes showing no hatred or resentment, only a sense of loss and frustration.

Uesugi Kiyoshi tilted his head and uttered three words: "The first sentence."

The man suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "I told you, I'm here to deliver a package, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Kiyoshi remained unmoved and said coldly, "You have one last sentence."

Seeing that the young man's expression seemed genuine, the middle-aged swordsman, who was struggling to sit up, frowned, thought for two seconds, and said urgently, "This is something given to you by Senior Kamiizumi! The head swordsman of the Shinkage-ryu school! Kamiizumi Hidekawa!"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression finally changed slightly.

Master has been away on a trip for almost a month, and we can't get through to him on the phone. We haven't been able to contact him since the Dongwen Association incident. My daughter, Uezumi Rin, is heartless and not worried at all, but my beloved disciple, Uesugi Kiyoshi, is a little worried.

Of course, he was confident in his master's strength. It was true that he could now slay gods, but his master had done the same thing seven or eight years ago.

If there is anyone or anything in this world capable of harming Kamiizumi Hidekawa, then his worries are of no use.

But the news he suddenly heard still surprised him.

The swordsman on the ground pointed to a dark safe placed next to Uesugi Kiyomon.

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around with some skepticism, only to hear the swordsman continue to say in a distressed tone, "I just arrived in Tokyo this morning and didn't even have time to rest. I went to visit Senior Kamiizumi's dojo first, but found no one there."

"I asked the neighbors, and they said they haven't seen the temple open for a long time."

"I inquired everywhere, but couldn't get any useful information. Finally, I asked a friend in the Metropolitan Police Department and learned about the big things Uesugi-kun has been doing lately. They told me that you are currently living in a dojo in Arakawa, so I rushed here to find you."

"I was ordered by my master to personally deliver the important item entrusted to me by Senior Kamiizumi to his last disciple, Uesugi Kiyoshi. No one but Uesugi-kun can receive it on my behalf."

"Even Junior Sister A-Lin won't do."

At this point, Uesugi Kiyoshi was already somewhat convinced, but he still wanted to confirm it one last time.

Who comes to deliver something and immediately starts attacking people?

Then, the swordsman stood up unsteadily and gave a weak bow.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Yagyu Ken, the adopted son and eldest disciple of Yagyu Teppei, the head of the Yagyu family!"

"The things I brought this time."

"It is the seed of a swordsman's extraordinary sword heart!"

Chapter 247 The Bet and the Seed of Sword Heart

Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils contracted, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he quietly nodded and reached out his hand to the person on the ground.

"."

"You went a bit too far, Senior Brother Yagyu?"

Hesitantly calling out a name, Uesugi Kiyoshi simply shook hands with Yagyu Ken.

He didn't completely trust this person; he wasn't so naive as to believe everything people said.

However, this person couldn't beat him.

There's a powerful, Tyrannosaurus-level swordsman in the house, the Lord of Arakawa who has guarded the Arakawa River for hundreds of years, and the Demon King of Mount Oe hidden within his body.

As for someone like Ken Yagyu, I'm not bragging, but even if a whole team came, he wouldn't be afraid.

In the previous exchange, he did not use any extraordinary abilities, only his physical strength, and did not even use his sword.

His swordsmanship now is incomparable to what it used to be.

Infusing the Inugami Scroll with mirage energy can improve Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical attributes, while infusing the Demon Sword Scroll with mirage energy enhances his understanding and ability to wield the sword.

When it comes to holding a pen, some people write loosely and carelessly, like a dog crawling, while others write with vigorous strokes, like pine trees. This can actually be attributed to differences in their understanding and ability to use the pen.

In short, it's about "proficiency".

Uesugi Kiyoshi was already a swordsmanship genius, and with the aid of the Demon Sword Scroll, he was even more powerful.

His ability to accurately disarm a blade barehanded and find weaknesses in Yagyu Ken's swordplay to exploit is also thanks to his rapidly improving understanding of swordsmanship.

Thinking about it this way, Yanagi Ken's sword move just now did indeed have some of the Shinkage-ryu's "one cut in two" style, but the speed was slightly slower than Shinkage-ryu's, while the power was much greater.

It might be an improvement on the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu style.

Thinking about this, Uesugi Kiyoshi became even more convinced of Yagyu Ken's identity; swordsmanship cannot be faked.

He invited the man inside and gave Narumi Shingo, who was already gripping his sword, a wink. Uesugi Kiyoya then sat down and casually began to speak.

"Well, Senior Brother Yagyu, I can understand you coming to deliver something, but why do you draw your swords at me the moment we meet?"

"Even though it was an unsharpened knife, it still gave me quite a fright."

Upon hearing this, Yanagi Ken's smile became even more bitter, and his face even turned slightly red, as if he were embarrassed.

"This"

"Oh dear."

He looked worried, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression grew colder and colder. If he couldn't give him a reasonable answer, he wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Yanagi Ken sighed and spoke in a defiant manner.

"Uesugi-kun, it's like this."

"My master is also a member of the Jusoukai. He attended the swordsmen's gathering at Mount Aso with Senior Kamiizumi. I don't need to say much about the origins of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu and Shinkage-ryu. The two swordsmen have known each other for a long time and are very familiar with each other."

"But their relationship is... well, it's hard to explain."

"Let's call them a pair of bickering lovers," Yanagi Ken thought somewhat guiltily, coming up with a very apt description.

"My master possesses a sword heart seed of extremely high quality, a fact known to all the seniors of the Juxiang Society. When Senior Shangquan arrived, he immediately asked my master for this sword heart seed."

"The quality of the Sword Heart Seed determines the success rate of awakening the Sword Heart and stepping into the extraordinary realm. It also increases the clarity of the Sword Heart and reduces the interference of ghosts, gods and evil paths. Therefore, a good Sword Heart Seed is priceless."

"The two old friends argued for a long time and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. In the end, my master still gave the sword heart seed to Senior Kamiizumi. However, the old man was strong-willed and spoke without restraint. He muttered, 'Don't give my treasure to a good-for-nothing. It would be a waste of such a good thing.'"

"Senior Kamiizumi also has a fiery temper, and he retorted, 'Useless? My precious disciple couldn't defeat your chief disciple in three moves. From now on, I'll avoid you like the plague!'"

"The two started arguing as they talked, and eventually several seniors came to mediate, and the two made a bet."

"My master means that I should have a duel with Uesugi-kun to determine the winner. After all, according to what Senior Kamiizumi said, you are still young. As long as your strength is up to par, it is fine to give you this sword heart seed."

"But Senior Shangquan insisted on refusing, saying that my master looked down on him. He said, 'I know what level your adopted son, the chief disciple, is at. He has some talent, but that's all. He's diligent and hardworking, but diligence and hard work can't solve everything. No matter what method he uses, whether it's a surprise attack or a sneak attack, as long as he can defeat Qing, I don't want this seed of sword heart. I will still fulfill the conditions I promised you before!'"

"so."

As he spoke, Yanagi Ken lowered his head, wishing there was a crack in the ground he could disappear into.

He couldn't possibly defeat Uesugi Kiyoshi. He had a sword, and his enemy didn't. They fell in a single move. It's just that no one saw it. If it were publicized, the reputation of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school would probably be ruined.

"I'm sorry! Uesugi-kun, I didn't want Master to lose! I didn't want to disgrace the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school, so I resorted to a sneak attack! I meant no harm, I just wanted to win. This Kenshin Seed is still yours, at least Master will have something to be proud of!"

"My methods were somewhat dishonorable, and I suffered the consequences. I'm truly sorry!"

This Yagyu Ken was an honest man; he kept kneeling and bowing to apologize, making Uesugi Kiyoshi somewhat uneasy.

He appreciated this kind of honest person, so he quickly helped up Liu Shengjian and said softly, "Senior Brother Liu Sheng, you are too serious. We are just sparring. Winning or losing is a small matter. Let's not hurt the harmony between our two families."

After saying that, he looked around and lowered his voice again.

"Don't worry, everyone here is one of us, no one will gossip. My master and I don't like to show off either."

“My master has poured so much effort into me, and he is quite stubborn, so he can’t stand hearing others say bad things about me. I understand that. He may have offended people with his words, and I was a bit too harsh. I apologize to my senior brother, please don’t take it to heart.”

He showed no mercy to his enemies, Uesugi Kiyoshi, and was equally ruthless to his friends. There was nothing wrong with what he said, and it almost moved Yagyu Ken to tears. He seemed to feel no pain in his chest.

"."

"Oh, it's nothing, just a minor injury."

“Junior Brother Uesugi—I’m taking the liberty of calling you junior brother.”

"I was adopted by my master when I was four years old, started learning swordsmanship at six, and entered the extraordinary realm at twelve. I am thirty-four years old this year."

"After decades of hard work, I've earned a small reputation in the kendo world. To be honest, when Senior Kamiizumi said that I could take him down in three moves, I was also furious."

"If this were said by Senior Kamiizumi himself, I would naturally have nothing to say, but for one of his disciples, who has only been taught for a few years, to be able to easily defeat me is a bit too disrespectful."

"It's true that there are always people more capable than you. Reality really slapped me hard in the face. You didn't even use a sword."
