Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The reason why she failed to take it away was very simple, because Amamiya Mahiru was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have touched something just now, so her reaction was slow and she was unable to immediately grab the other person's fingers to make him let go of the sword.

Souji Okita kicked the ground and slid out like a loach, slapping the ground and bouncing up to perform a jumping chop.

Amemiya Mahiru drew his sword and counterattacked, and the bluestone on the bridge surface suddenly rose and fell.

Okita Souji didn't understand. He had just lost his weapon and failed to get the sword. Where did she get it?

Amemiya Mahiru naturally did not answer, and tried to use the same trick again, throwing out the weapon again, and the Quick Rain Sword flew around.

Souji Okita would not be fooled again. He decisively kept his distance and slashed the ground with his blade, like using the momentum to do a pole vault. This unconventional way of using the sword fully demonstrated his flexible and changeable sword moves.

At the same time, the boy also saw how Amamiya Mahiru retrieved the sword.

It would be more accurate to say that it flew back on its own rather than being retrieved.

The knife flew from the right hand side to the left hand side, and then from the left hand to the right hand.

Hand knife + back turning knife.

Okita Souji asked curiously, "How did you learn such a sword technique that I've never seen before?"

In the eyes of the Fuso swordsmen, a sword leaving the hand is simply a heinous crime... How could a sword leave the arm and fly everywhere?

Even when they reach the third and fourth levels of transcendence, they still chop with one move at a time, and don't think of letting the sword fly out to take people's heads.

But Amemiya Mahiru is different. Her Li Shou Dao is a new move she learned from the Dragon Vein Realm.

It is a taboo to let the weapon slip out of your hand, especially at a low grade, so the timing of using the knife is very strict. She just used it as a decoy and had no expectation of using it to kill the enemy.

"It's just Daxia's swordsmanship. Haven't you seen it?" Amemiya Mahiru said calmly, "Controlling three thousand swords, swinging them like rain, flying them a thousand miles, and taking someone's head, that's the highest level of swordsmanship."

One could actually hear a hint of sarcasm and arrogance in her words, as if she was despising the other person for being a country bumpkin.

Bai Yu couldn't help laughing...Jing Xia is not desirable.

Okita Souji's attitude seemed nonchalant: "Swordsmanship is just a technique to kill people. How can there be any difference between superior and inferior?"

Amemiya Mahiru was speechless for a moment. After a moment's silence, she slowly said, "Perhaps you are right... In our hands, swords are merely weapons for killing. Skills exist only for the purpose of fighting... As long as the world of Fusang remains like this, perhaps no matter what, the sword will never be put away. It will always cut and shed blood."

Okita Souji narrowed his eyes. "You're different from other killers. They either scream hysterically about their grievances, or indulge in power, or fight for profit... But you always remain calm. You're different from them. If I have to say..."

He thought for a moment and pointed at himself: "It's a bit similar to me."

"You?" asked Amamiya Mahiru.

"I like swordsmanship, but I don't like killing people. But there is no other way. The Shinsengumi's duty is to protect the safety of the area, so I have to be ruthless."

Okita Souji seemed to be muttering to himself, "Actually, I don't care about the shogunate, the Onmyoji family, or anything like that. I don't understand them. What I care about... is just Kondo-sama and the others. That's my happiness."

"What about you?"

"What is your happiness? And why do you wield your sword?"

Listening to the words of the executioner who had killed nearly a hundred people but still managed to maintain an innocent smile, Amamiya Mahiru was silent for a moment and whispered, "It seems you won't let me go."

"Of course it's my duty." Okita Souji smiled sweetly.

Amamiya Mahiru stroked the blade with her fingers and said, "It turns out my life is easier than yours. At least I don't have to hide anything."

"Women can't be warriors."

"Is it hard for you to live like this?"

Okita Souji knew her identity had been revealed but didn't panic. She reached out and pulled off the loose white bandage from inside the haori. She let out a breath, "Actually, I'm used to it. Besides being a little tighter, hiding my identity isn't that difficult. Everyone's covering for me, too."

"What a pity. If we weren't in this position, maybe we would be friends." Amamiya Mahiru picked up the scabbard, feeling a little regretful as to whether it was true or not.

"It's not too late to be friends now." Okita Souji's smile was still innocent.

"They're about to fight until one side falls?"

"Yeah!" She nodded seriously, not joking at all.

"Are you crazy?" Amemiya Mahiru exhaled a puff of white mist.

"Hahaha, people often say that, but I'm serious... We live and die each day, that's what samurai and swordsmen are all about. So, we should live every moment with sincerity and honesty!"

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

Both sides were gathering strength, waiting for the moment when fire would burst out.

Souji Okita had taken off his shoes, and his two white little feet were stepping on the stone bridge.

The starting posture she adopted made Bai Yu, who was watching the game, feel strangely familiar.

Boom! Another loud thunderclap sounded.

The lightning struck the side of the river bank at an extremely close distance. The entire river was passed through by the electric current, and the surface of the river was suddenly clear white.

The two swords crossed, like immortals fighting in the Milky Way.

Chapter 223 Three-stage stab, Ichi no Tachi

Test Health Hall.

If we don't count the level of kendo, and just compete in swordsmanship.

Okita Souji has the highest winning streak, not only because she has the special skill of 'shrinking the earth', but also because of the offensive magical powers she developed based on this skill.

She once used this move to kill a ronin warrior from the third realm.

As the lightning fell, Okita Souji stepped forward. After being freed from the restraints, the wind blew through her body, her clothes clung to her shell, and her figure disappeared along with the California Clearlight in her hand.

Her speed reached its peak at that moment.

If it was 1 before, now it is 5 or even 10.

The flash of knife light reached the front, slowly! Break! Quick!

The blade flashed faster than the sound of the wind, cutting through the air. All the force from the thrust was concentrated in front of the sword tip, and the strong wind blew the falling rain away in all directions.

Amemiya Mahiru swung her sword to intercept, but the exquisite secret sword Fox Shadow was so fragile that it was vulnerable before this thrust.

Because it is too fast, and when it is fast to the extreme, it becomes sharp and powerful.

Amamiya Mahiru's feet left a thirty-centimeter horizontal mark on the bridge surface, barely supporting this fierce thrust.

However, Souji Okita's figure disappeared before her eyes, and Amamiya Mahiru only heard a strange sound and the sound of something being stepped on behind her.

Her body was almost crawling on the ground, parallel to the surface, and she stepped on the ground with force. The explosive force caused the bridge surface to crack directly and collapse nearly half a meter.

Second thrust.

This knife is faster and more brutal!

The dazzling sword light reflected a pale white on Amemiya Mahiru's cheeks. The wind pressure erupted again, and the stagnant rain was carried by the spreading air waves and shot in all directions.

The sharp friction sound rang out again. Even though the distance was enough to perform the swordless attack, she didn't dare to try it. If she did so, she would surely die. She could only try to intercept this thrust.

The second collision caused the tiger's mouth to break directly, and blood flowed along the handle of the knife, dyeing the blade red and dripping along the blade.

The sharp sound was so close that it made her eardrums vibrate. She had no eyesight, and this time she was deprived of her hearing for a second.

The Sky Eye was also affected.

Although it was only a brief trance, it made Okita Souji, who had just passed by him, turn back, carrying a third sword that was sharper than the previous one.

This is the third thrust.

Wuming's three-stage thrust——!

From the first strike to the third, the power of each strike was twice as great as the previous one.

...can't be stopped!

...Then I won’t block it, let’s fight head-on!

Amemiya Mahiru's mind moved, and he activated the mysterious power. The bloodstains flashed with a crimson luster, and the spurting blood turned into sword marks, colliding with the oncoming knife light.

The three extremely fast thrusts met with the fierce and sharp Red Scar Flash.

At this moment, many moves that he had practiced countless times in the past flashed and intertwined in his eyes.

After a series of fierce battles, she felt a certain power boiling and roaring in her body... and the knife in her hand and the flowing blood were the silk thread that pulled it out.

Amamiya Mahiru is undoubtedly a genius. She has only been in the art of kendo for a few months, but she has experienced more battles than her peers. She is not lacking in experience. What she lacks is the willpower, the willpower to face life and death squarely.

She knew that her husband was watching, but she also knew that he was not helping her, which meant that this was a hurdle she had to overcome herself.

Just like before.

Can't let that person down...

More importantly, I can't die here!

So she grabbed the knife.

In this extremely close confrontation, she caught a crucial flash of inspiration.

There was no powerful sword intent, no unmatched strength, everything was just like the thousands of sword strikes he had carried out in the past.

Under Lei Ming's gaze, the picture seemed to be in an endless stagnation.

However, this scene only lasted for three blinks of an eye, and then the stagnant picture shattered like a mirror.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only a flash of red left.

The blade, more than three feet long, swung out a flash of light that stretched over thirty meters.

The impact immediately caused the bridge, which could not bear the weight, to collapse from the center. Two figures fell into the muddy river like kites with broken strings. After rolling several times in the water, they landed on the edge of the river bank.

Souji Okita struggled to climb out of the icy river water, looking embarrassed. It was the first time she saw someone who could directly block her three-stage Wuming thrust that had been charged to the extreme.

"What was that knife just now...?"

She looked at the girl who had also emerged from the river.

"One sword."

Amamiya Mahiru replied.

She gasped weakly, feeling more and more dizzy with every step, and her steps were weak and powerless.

The secret sword, Ichi-no-tachi, is the unique skill of the Warring States swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden… Tsukahara Bokuden was a disciple of the master of the Katori Shinto school, Tenshin Shinchu. Although he did not leave behind his own secret sword training method, the legend of this sword has been left behind. According to legend, Bokuden has been chopping trees 6000 times with a wooden sword every day since he started learning swordsmanship. After years of such practice, both the power of swinging the sword and the speed of attack have reached a level that ordinary people cannot achieve. The most basic move has become the strongest move. This is the "Secret Sword, Ichi-no-tachi"!

With Amamiya Mahiru's ability, she can never reach the level of a sword master, but the mysterious application becomes stronger as the individual becomes stronger... This mystery of Scarlet Scar, which is not considered to be of a high level, has been used beyond expectations in the hands of Amamiya Mahiru because of the purity of its application method.

Unleash the power of the Ichinoda.

"So it's the Sword Master's secret sword. My defeat wasn't unfair."

Okita Souji stood up, his face pale. "Although the three-stage thrust was broken, I still have some unused moves from the Tennen Rishin-ryu."

Amemiya Mahiru looked extremely strange. She really wanted to fight again, but her body no longer allowed it.

Facing this energetic executioner, she could only grit her teeth and hold on.

Just at this moment, a hand gently pressed on her shoulder, and a familiar voice echoed.

"You can rest now."

This weaving of fate will eventually be completed.

Most of the time he would only give the right to choose his own destiny to Amamiya Mahiru, and he only played the role of a catalyst.

By now, there was no longer any reason for him to stand by and watch.

Amemiya Mahiru broke through the shackles of realm with one sword, and has completed the necessary conditions for weaving this destiny.

"Leave the rest to me."

Fighting spirit, murderous intent, ferocity, and violence all vanished under this calm voice.

The feeling of fatigue suddenly came over her like a tide, and she sat down slowly with peace of mind.

"Hmm..." She closed her eyes and let the gentle darkness embrace her from all sides.

The next moment, rolling gray mist enveloped her body.

A pair of footsteps appeared at the edge of the muddy river, making a slight crunching sound as they stepped on the gravel beneath their feet.

A strange young man walked out of a solidified time and space, and for the first time, the editor of destiny set foot on this strange land in his own way.

Souji Okita looked at the girl who suddenly disappeared and the young man who suddenly appeared with puzzled eyes. He couldn't understand and his little head was full of question marks.

"Good evening." Bai Yu greeted him. "My daughter is indebted to your care. That move just now was very impressive."
