The air was frozen for a long time. This was probably the first time in her life that Esdeath was treated as a whetstone. She was angry at first, then suddenly, and finally turned into a sigh: "Is it a whetstone? Give it to Chi Hitomi’s?”
"Well, there's nothing you can do about it, old man. There's nothing you can do about the younger generation. Suddenly there's a great-granddaughter. It's understandable that the old man is a little overly concerned. You have to be considerate of the old man's desire to give his great-granddaughter the best thing. !”
Yan Kai smiled with some helplessness.
What Yan Kai told Esdeath about martial arts before was obviously beyond the scope of sparring, but this was all requested by Beishan Xiongwu, allowing Yan Kai to improve Esdeath as much as possible in the past three years. Si's strength.
He wants to make Esdeath into Chi Tong's whetstone, and the strength of this whetstone should ideally become stronger as Chi Tong's strength increases.
Yes, the current Chi Tong is far inferior to Esdeath in terms of strength, but Beishan Xiongwu has a mysterious confidence in Chi Tong. He believes that it will be a matter of time before Chi Tong surpasses Esdeath, and he is still afraid of Esdeath. Si Tai was surpassed by Chi Tong early, and he deliberately wanted Esdeath's strength to increase accordingly.
Esdeath's smile became dangerous: "Are you so confident? Aren't you afraid that my whetstone will break the knife?"
"Well, let's leave it to fate."
Esdeath originally thought that Yan Kai would say something like having confidence in Chi Tong, but then she heard Yan Kai say "Let fate", which made her stunned for a moment.
"Those who practice martial arts should have at least half of their heads attached to their waists. There is no way that they will live a long life. If you want to live a long time, not practicing martial arts is the best way. If Chitong really dies one day In your hands, her skills are inferior to others, and this is what her fate is, so what can I do..."
Yan Kai sighed.
It's not that he is ruthless and cold-blooded, it's because he has known the cruelty of the martial arts for a long time and has a strong immunity to it.
Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, "jianghu" and "martial arts" transformed into the current "martial arts world", everything was standardized, and many of the chaos in the "jianghu" period disappeared, but the "martial arts world" is still a huge one. Vanity Fair, where countless people fight every day.
As the highlight of the martial arts world, death is not only common in the martial arts arena, but also very legal. Even the police cannot treat martial artists as a special group in the same way as ordinary people.
When you come out to hang out in the world, you have almost put your life and death aside for a long time. Whether you die today or tomorrow, this is not a surprising thing. Most of the time, you can only get a sigh of regret, and then there is nothing more. Life goes on as usual. After all, the vendetta is now. The Central Plains is prohibited.
The relationship between Chitong and Esdeath is more clear-cut than the battle for fame and fortune in the "Jianghu". One of them is a rebel and the other is a general. They are naturally incompatible. If Beishan Xiongwu hadn't been suppressing them, they would have been killed long ago. The fight started.
What's a little weird is that considering that the kingdom where Esdeath is located may soon be changed in the future, maybe it won't be long before the two people's positions will be reversed, evolving into Red Eyes as a soldier, Esdeath as a soldier. It's Kou, this kind of relationship makes people feel ironic just thinking about it.
Of course, this is not important. Anyway, even if the positions of the two people are reversed, they are still absolutely opposed. This is more difficult to deal with than personal grudges. Unless they betray their positions, even if both parties are willing to forgive each other, it is impossible for the two to shake hands. Make peace.
It's just that both of them are strong-willed people. Chitong has betrayed the kingdom. It's impossible to convince them to betray their position by talking. So for the final outcome of the two, Yan Kai chooses to leave it to fate. Anyway, it's okay. Is it right to have Beishan Xiongwu’s endorsement behind it?
After listening to Yan Kai's words, Esdeath was surprised to find that Yan Kai's thoughts were so similar to hers. You know, even in the kingdom's army, she has countless supporters, but they are all taken by her. She has great strength and charisma, but no one is mentally compatible with her.
What Yan Kai said, "You die because your skills are inferior to others" seems to be no different from what she always said, "You die because you are weak."
Of course, if Yan Kai knew what Esdeath was thinking, he would definitely refute harshly. These two sentences are completely different!
Feeling some changes in Esdeath's mood, Yan Kai was surprised but didn't want to question it. He pointed his sword at Esdeath:
"I tried a few tricks just now but you probably haven't had enough fun yet. Next time, don't say you can't stand it!"
"Fighting to the death, this is what I dream of doing, how can I not stand it!"
The fierce battle was right in front of him, and Esdeath's attention was immediately drawn to it, and his fighting spirit was surging.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them drew their swords at the same time and started fighting fiercely.
Compared with the Chinese long sword and the Western rapier, Esdeath's swordsmanship is mainly stabbing and prodding, while Yan Kai's swordsmanship is all-encompassing, stabbing, cutting, chopping, chopping... you can change it as you like, and there are no fixed moves. Wherever the heart goes, where the sword points, there is no secret.
Even during the fierce fight with Esdeath, Yan Kai's long sword suddenly left his hand, but it shot towards Esdeath with precision like a controlled drone. The "Lifting Sword" was erratic and came and went like lightning. "Hand Sword" made Esdeath hard to defend. Fortunately, Yan Kai's purpose was always to be a sparring partner and had no intention of hurting Esdeath. After roughly figuring out the operating rules of the "Li Hand Sword", he used force to force the "Li Hand Sword" back.
"What kind of swordsmanship are you doing? I have seen the swordsmanship in Zhongyuan before, but I have never heard of swordsmanship like yours!"
Esdeath said with lingering fear as the "hand-off sword" passed by his vitals several times.
"It's nothing like swordsmanship."
Yan Kai used his superior internal force technique to capture objects from the air, and took the long sword that Esdeath had forced back into his hand, and said casually: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the martial arts of my Yan family originated from my great-grandfather. He became a monk halfway, and by chance he developed an astonishing internal skill. Although he chose the sword as a weapon, he had no foundation in swordsmanship at all. His swordsmanship was honed little by little from their martial arts skills by constantly competing with masters. After practicing it, my father later used this sword technique to test the world, and finally formed this unique sword technique. In fact, there is nothing to say, it just pays attention to the principle of "do whatever you want, and the sword will reach you". "
"You can do whatever you want, and your sword can reach you?" After hearing this, Esdeath thought for a while, and then laughed, "If there is really a swordsmanship that can do 'what you want, and your sword can reach you,' then it should be the best in the world. Invincible swordsmanship!"
Yan Kai didn't say anything, because to a certain extent, "no sword skills" were indeed invincible, at least in the hands of Yan Fei.
While the two were talking, the door to the practice room opened with a creak, and Chitomi walked in holding Murasame.
When she saw Esdeath, her expression was still filled with deep hostility. Although she had just met Esdeath for the first time today, she had heard about her from the BOSS many times. Even one of BOSS's eyes and one hand was crippled by her. BOSS once said frankly that this is a demon, the enemy of a peaceful world. If the kingdom wants to welcome a new future, she is an enemy that must be eliminated. For this, she will not hesitate. All costs.
Overthrowing the old kingdom and starting a new country was Chitong's lifelong ideal. Faced with Esdeath, the hardest obstacle on the road to his ideal, Chitong would naturally not look good.
"Uncle...my great-grandfather asked me to practice with you. Thank you for teaching me!"
Chitong bowed to Yan Kai.
Calling a man younger than herself "uncle" and asking him to teach martial arts, even Chitong was a little embarrassed, but she thought that she could go back if she could reach the level of "all without permission" of the Sanji Sect as soon as possible. The kingdom helped his companions, but Chitong still suppressed his shame. After calling out "uncle", the rest of his words became smoother, and there was no longer any psychological burden.
The essence of Sanji Sect swordsmanship, Beishan Xiongwu has been completely handed over to Chi Tong these days, which has opened her eyes to Chi Tong. When she was in the kingdom, she obviously did not have the opportunity to receive such an education, and her knowledge limited her. With her understanding of swordsmanship, Beishan Xiongwu opened a door to a new world for her and told him that swords can still be used in this way!
Although I had obtained the swordsmanship secret scroll of my ancestors before, the above content is already outdated now. The martial arts of the Sanji Sect experienced the two periods of "World War II" and "Cold War" when martial arts developed most rapidly. It has long been reborn. Although the core skeleton has not changed, the muscles have become more developed and the skin has become tougher. It is different from the "old version" more than a hundred years ago. Kitayama Xiongwu is what he has recently transformed. Over the years, I have realized that the most exquisite concepts of Sanji Sect swordsmanship have been instilled in Chitong.
Just having theoretical knowledge is not enough, it also requires a lot of practical combat. For martial artists, practical combat is the best way to transform theoretical knowledge into strength, so Beishan Xiongwu asked Chi Tong to spar with Yan Kaiduo when he was free. In sparring, he is the best sparring partner.
That's right, Yan Kai's job was added again, and it was without notice. Anyway, his job is not important, right?
"uncle?"
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses. Although according to seniority, he called Beishan Xiongwu "grandfather" and Chitong called Beishan Xiongwu "great-grandfather". It seemed okay for Chitong to call himself "uncle", but... Yan A few black lines still appeared on Kai's forehead.
"Uncle? You called him uncle?"
Esdeath laughed uncontrollably first. She was already short of breath due to the fierce battle and almost choked, allowing Chi Tong to complete her first injury.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, but, uncle..."
After saying that, Esdeath laughed again.
"I said, don't follow me!"
Even if his mentality is as stable as Yan Kai, he still wants to jump at this moment.
Not to mention Esdeath, even Chitong is older than him, so how can he become an uncle...
Yan Kai had a headache, but he soon thought that Kitayama Koichi was treated in the same way as him, and his mood instantly improved.
After scratching his head, Yan Kai said to Chi Tong and Esdeath: "You two, come over together."
Esdeath immediately wanted to take action, but Chitong looked down at the "Murasame" in his hand. It was tempered with blood-sealing poison. If Yan Kai was accidentally injured during the fight, then...
"You can't even hurt me, let alone him!"
Esdeath sneered.
Chitong no longer hesitated and immediately pulled out "Murasame".
The knife was a good knife. The moment it was pulled out, there was a trace of moisture around the blade.
As a famous sword in Japanese legend, even Yan Kai has heard of the legend of "Murasame". According to legend, when this sword is pulled out, the murderous blade will condense moisture in the air, forming a layer of moisture on the blade. Water and dew, after killing someone with this knife, the enemy's blood will be washed away with the layer of water and dew. This scene is like Murasame cleaning leaves, so this knife is called "Murasame".
Yan Kai didn't know whether the bloodstains after killing people would be cleaned by water and dew, but when Akahito pulled out the sword, water vapor did condense on the blade extremely quickly. This was completely consistent with Busujima Saeko's "no dew" on the contrary.
Esdeath and Chi Tong shot at the same time, attacking Yan Kai from left to right. Yan Kai held a sword in his right hand and fought Esdeath with his long sword. Er was still relaxed and could not even let Yan Kai move.
After a fight, Yan Kai had a deeper understanding of Esdeath and Chitong.
Esdeath practices battlefield kung fu, which is full of power and openness. When faced with a siege by many people, he can defeat a large number of people with a small number, and even defeat an organized army. However, in a one-on-one fight, he can In the middle, her martial arts has obvious shortcomings, and the gap between her shots is too large. If she faces opponents who are far inferior to her, it will naturally not matter. When she has an absolute advantage in speed and strength, all her flaws will These will no longer be flaws, but once she faces an evenly matched opponent, these will become her Achilles' heel.
And Chi Tong is completely different from Esdeath. Logically speaking, the Beishan family's swordsmanship is upright and sharp, but in Chi Tong's hands, it "hides the edge".
She hides her edge and only explodes at critical moments. Chitong is a complete opportunist. She either doesn't take action or takes someone's life if she takes action. If she can make a sneak attack, she will never say hello. The so-called lack of martial ethics refers to people like her, but this It was also a habit she had developed over many years as an assassin, so she couldn't be blamed.
After two hours of fierce fighting, when Yan Kai said "it's over", Chi Tong couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground. In order to break her "bad habits", Yan Kai first used gentle force to pull and test Chi Tong's martial arts, and then He also used his domineering palm force to block her retreat, forcing her to bravely fight Yan Kai head-on.
Although she is an assassin, Chitong has never lacked the courage and vigor to fight against the odds. Before, she used the method of assassinating Yu Dou to fight against Yan Kai out of consideration of her own interests. After knowing that it would not work, she immediately chose to fight against the strong with force without any hesitation. .
Naturally, Chitong suffered the loss. Yan Kai forced her to fight with high intensity for more than an hour. After Yan Kai's attack ended, she naturally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
After Chi Tong fell to the ground, the panting Esdeath also stopped attacking. Her sword-holding hand was trembling slightly, and she could no longer hold the sword steadily, but she still had an excited smile on her face: "It's really Okay, I don’t know how long it’s been since I fought so heartily… No, I’ve never felt so good!”
After lifting Chi Tong up from the ground, Yan Kai took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured a pill from it and stuffed it into Chi Tong's mouth.
This is the Beishan family's secret medicine. It can quickly restore internal strength. It also has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the body. It can enhance the user's skill. If taken when tired, the effect can be maximized. Beishan Xiongwu gave it to Yan Kai Yes, let Yan Kai "help" Chi Tong take it.
