In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Che let go of the spear without hesitation, stepped forward, gathered the surging internal energy on the surface of his fist, and hit Xiao Yuelan's abdomen with a hook punch.

This time, a solid touch came from the tip of the fist.

The sound of breaking ribs was heard, and blood immediately dyed Uesugi Tetsu's arm red.

"cough……"

Xiao Yuelan couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, but the joy on her face increased instead of decreasing. The rich blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, and the color became brighter and brighter.

"I caught you~"

Two powerful thighs wrapped in a leather jumpsuit wrapped around Uesugi Che's arms like a thick python. Xiao Yuelan smiled at him and then exerted force in mid-air to break the arm.

Uesugi Tetsu also grinned.

In half a breath, his whole body was bursting with purple lightning, allowing these winding lightning snakes to drill into Xiao Yuelan's body in an instant, paralyzing all her muscles.

Five Thunder Method·Qi He!

The difference in physical fitness between Uesugi Tetsu and hers did not reach a qualitative difference, so without affecting his own actions, the sudden lightning could only paralyze Xiao Yuelan for a moment.

But just one moment was enough!

He threw the stiff and trembling Xiao Yuelan to the sand, causing her to cough up a large mouthful of hot blood again.

Uesugi Che raised his hand and a spear appeared, but the moment it fell, Xiao Yuelan's figure turned into a shadow and disappeared again.

But this time the situation is different.

The two-foot-sama, who had been waiting in mid-air, waved his fingertips, causing dozens of gray-white bullets to fall like iron rain.

Even though Xiao Yuelan reacted immediately and dodged, she was still pierced by several gray-white bullets.

Uesugi Che turned around, took a deep breath, twisted his waist and hips in one go, and threw the spear out like a javelin.

The spear carried a pure white air wave forward, and in a blink of an eye it had pierced Xiao Yuelan's abdomen from behind, nailing her firmly into the sand.

Blood mixed with pale bone fragments gushed out of Xiao Yuelan's mouth like crazy.

She lay on the ground as if she had lost her strength, her eyes were white and her toes were twitching.

The surrounding audience seats fell silent upon seeing this scene.

No one could have imagined that the first round of the real sword test would end like this.

On one side is Xiao Yuelan, the second disciple of Longyuetang, who has countless actual combat records, and on the other side is a guy named Uesugi who was unknown before.

Originally, most people thought that the battle would undoubtedly turn to one side.

Now, the battle situation has indeed turned to one side.

But it was heading the other way.

This was an ending that no audience expected.

Uesugi Tetsu picked up the spear he had used before from the ground - he only had three spears of this length, so he couldn't throw it away casually.

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes and did not relax his vigilance at all.

——He always felt that Xiao Yuelan was defeated too quickly and too easily.

——From the beginning of the battle until now, apart from revealing her ability to "switch places with shadows" and extend her bone dagger, she hasn't shown anything else that belongs to Longyuetang...

Just as Uesugi Che was thinking this, he suddenly heard Xiao Yuelan's voice coming from all directions.

"Catch you~"

A huge shadow rose from the bottom of the arena like the abyssal mouth of some giant beast, and in an instant swallowed up Uesugi Tetsu who walked into the center of the shadow.

On the sandy ground, Xiao Yuelan, whose abdomen was pierced by a spear, turned around with difficulty, pulled the spear out, and then gently pressed down the pale bone blade that popped out from her knuckles.

She chuckled and said, "boom~"

In the sticky shadow, hundreds of bone spurs that were almost identical except for their different colors popped out and swept towards Uesugi Che in the center like a wave.

In the audience seats not far away, Hattori Ayako, who was originally showing joy, froze on her face. She was a little panicked and wanted to run to the motionless Nanjo Aimi to ask for help.

Lilizi put her hand on her shoulder and said in a very calm voice,

"He hasn't drawn his sword yet."

As if to echo Ririkko's words.

The next moment, the straight paleness cut the squirming and sticky darkness in half from the center!

The sorrow of separation swallowed up the endless darkness at an extremely fast speed.

Uesugi Che, who only had a faint blood hole on his neck, walked out slowly, looked directly at Xiao Yuelan who was sighing not far away, and slowly put Kaga Kiyomitsu back into the sheath.

"I didn't expect that even this trick wouldn't work on you, Uesugi-kun." Xiao Yuelan stood up, clutching her abdomen, and nodded at him cheerfully, "Then it seems like I've lost."

Uesugi Tetsu remained unmoved and just walked towards her silently.

——A true sword fight is different from an ordinary duel. Even if one party fails to kill the other for various reasons, it must at least make the other party lose basic mobility.

So verbal surrender is not counted.

Unless Xiao Yuelan voluntarily withdraws from this circular arena - the range of the real sword test.

He saw that Uesugi Tetsu actually walked slowly in front of him, and was within his reach despite his limited mobility.

Xiao Yuelan exhaled lightly, stared at him and said, "Uesugi-kun, you are so confident."

Uesugi Tetsu clenched his fists and maximized the efficiency of the Coronal Breathing Technique, causing his body to emit a dull roar like a V8 engine.

He said calmly,

"I just wanted to save some energy and win beautifully."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Xiao Yuelan smiled, and bone spurs mixed with shadows extended from the soles of her feet, drilled through the sand, and suddenly popped out from behind Uesugi Che towards his heart.

Crack!

The bone spur was shattered.

Descending from the sky, the two-foot-tall master holding a gray-white shield said solemnly, "Master Che, I will protect your back!"

But at the same time, Xiao Yuelan had once again transformed into a phantom and attacked Uesugi Che.

In an instant, thousands of real and illusory silver-white lights rose up.

Uesugi Che raised his eyes indifferently and stretched out his hand, which was wrapped in energy and lightning, straight forward!

He ignored the attacks that cut his flesh and grabbed Xiao Yuelan's throat.

Then, smash it down!

"Uh-huh——"

Xiao Yuelan felt that the whole world had dimmed for a moment.

But her palm still tightly grasped the bone dagger, and she used it to pierce Uesugi Tetsu's arm.

The tiny pieces of bone on the bone dagger had not yet spread and multiplied in Uesugi Che's body as wildly as before, before they were all turned into ashes by the quietly flowing lightning.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu hit Xiao Yuelan's abdominal wound with another ruthless punch, tearing the wound that was about to be filled with gray bones, and tearing her liver together.

A sickly flush immediately surged from her neck to Xiao Yuelan's cheeks.

Her pink tongue hung out lightly, and the corners of her mouth were curled up, revealing a smile of extreme joy.

"Uesugi-kun..."

She vomited blood and murmured in confusion: "I think... I'm a little in love with you..."

Uesugi Che turned a blind eye and just punched and kicked Xiao Yuelan, who was holding her neck, until she completely lost the ability to stand up and resist.

After more than ten seconds passed like a storm, Uesugi Tetsu threw Xiao Yuelan, who had completely lost consciousness, like a puddle of mud, onto the sand.

Then he pulled out Kaga Kiyomitsu and used the blade to gently scratch the tiny, unnoticeable wound on his fingertips that had just appeared.

The Sorrow of Separation devoured part of his flesh and several deadly toxins that had not yet spread, and was then retracted back into the body of the very clever Kaga Kiyomitsu.

"Well done, Xiaojia."

After patting the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword and sheathing it, Uesugi Tetsu silently looked at Xiaoyue Lan, who was lying on the ground and only the slight rise and fall of her chest proved that she was still alive.

——Perhaps, including her "death", everything was to send this poison into his body at the moment when he was most relaxed.

Staring at the messy face covered with blush and sweat, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but praise his opponent.

"He's an incredibly qualified assassin."

If it weren't for the sorrow of separation and the emergence of some intelligence in Kaga Kiyomitsu, Uesugi Tetsu might have really failed.

After all, poison is sometimes a very unreasonable thing.

However, Xiao Yuelan's move also reminded Uesugi Che that he still lacked complete resistance to "toxins".

——If I have enough soul ash later, I might be able to call Katsumi over to buy some items to replenish this area.

When Uesugi Tetsu finished his thoughts, he realized that the surroundings were still silent.

He looked up in confusion: "Isn't there anyone who can announce the victory of the first trial?"

In the notary seat, Tokugawa Hoshi, who had been staring at him intently, clicked her tongue and turned her head, only to see a scene that made her even more dissatisfied.

——As the master of the Longyuetang Dojo and Xiaoyuelan's master, Kujo Longye actually began to doze off while sitting in the main seat.

He also seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, unaware of what was happening in the field.

Tokugawa Hoshi snapped his fingers and sent a sword of energy towards Kujo Oboroya, who then woke up as if from a dream and announced,

"First try, Uesugi Tetsu from the Special Affairs Department wins."

As soon as these words were spoken, Kujo Shingo, who was also sitting in the notary seat, took a step forward and jumped directly into the arena, taking the dying Xiaoyue Lan to the backfield for intensive treatment.

The audience around was still very quiet, with only some friends whispering to each other at most.

On the one hand, he was shocked by this very short but extremely intense real sword test with twists and turns.

On the other hand, it was because of Uesugi Tetsu who was covered in wounds but still had an expressionless face.

No one thought that Uesugi Che looked embarrassed. Instead, they felt an unusual... majesty and kingliness from these tiny scars.

It was a long time before the arena returned to its lively and noisy atmosphere until Uesugi Che sat down at the sidelines and began to pour the spiritual mist into his mouth.

"Could it be that... this newcomer from the Special Affairs Department, Uesugi Tetsu, is really going to win? His aura is too domineering!"

The local dojo master, who had been taught a lesson by Longyuetang, shook his head: "No, no, no, he's already out of breath just by defeating Xiaoyuelan, not to mention that he has the equally powerful Crowdfisher Shigure and that terrifying woman named Kuzuha behind him."

“Having come this far is already the limit.”

A three-star Onmyoji calmly commented: "It's just a matter of defeating Xiao Yuelan. I can do it too!"

"You're right, but the Shirokuu Shikigami is cute and handsome. After a battle, I gained a lot! I can already publish a photo book!"

"Remember to pay the copyright fee for the previous one, or be careful that Uesugi Tetsu will punch you into a boneless weakling."

"Then I'll give him a collector's edition first!"

When the discussion died down a bit, a young monk in a cassock raised a suggestion with a slightly nervous look on his face.

"—It's already a great achievement for this Uesugi-kun to have survived the first round. Even if he's defeated in a few moves, please be kind and continue watching with the attitude that 'it's not a loss'."

After hearing this, many audience members thought for a moment, and after recalling the interlocking fight just now, they all replied,

"That's how it should be."

——Take your eyes away from Junior Brother Huiming who was acting as a water army in the audience, Huijue asked casually to the person beside him,

"Donor Tokugawa, do you also know Donor Uesugi?"

"Humph."

Tokugawa Xing said unhappily: "This bastard, wait until the real sword test is over and I will beat him up."

When Huijue heard this, instead of saying anything to stop him, he came closer out of curiosity, not even turning his hand to the relic in his hand, and said, "Oh, why is this happening, Donor Tokugawa?"

Tokugawa Xing did not answer again - it was not convenient to make family matters public, not to mention that the person sitting next to him was a strange monk whom he had only met once.

Seeing her like this, Huijue rolled his eyes and asked,

"——Could it be because of the donor Tokugawa Ririko?"

Hearing Lilizi, Tokugawa Xing sat up straight and asked seriously, "Master Huijue, do you know my younger sister?"
