After the game started, Kinoshita Mai's eyes basically never left Aoto's body.
She stared intently at Qingdeng's every move.
The expression on his face kept changing as Qingdeng's situation changed.
When Qingdeng was surrounded by people, she looked nervous.
She breathed a sigh of relief when Qingdeng saved the day.
When Qingdeng defeated his opponent, she beamed.
With a shy temperament, she would only be able to express such abundant emotions on her pretty face only in the presence of Qingden and in rare situations... such as when her face was covered with a scarf or mask.
After seeing Aoto defeat the last opponent in front of him, Kawashima, Kinoshita Mai was so happy and excited that she softly exclaimed "Great, great" and subconsciously clapped her hands together. Her voluptuous legs.
In ancient times, there was Xin Qiji who slapped all over the railing, but now there is Kinoshita Wu who slaps his fleshy legs fiercely.
The loud sound of "papapapa" leg slapping caused many onlookers nearby to turn their heads to take a look.
For the introverted and shy Kinoshita Mai, the looks from the people around her were like a knife cutting her flesh.
Kinoshita Mai, whose pretty face suddenly turned red and wisps of steam seemed to float from her head, quickly arched her waist, tightened her shoulders, and lowered her head to "shrink" herself as much as possible.
"Yes, I'm sorry... I disturbed everyone..."
This little interlude is naturally not too noticeable.
Except for a few lustful people who glanced back and forth at Kinoshita Mai's cute face with licking eyes, the others only looked at Kinoshita Mai in confusion for a few times and then looked away.
"……Little Lord."
Kiryu, who suddenly spoke out, squinted his eyes and conveyed his dumbfounded laughter to Mai Kinoshita.
"Don't be so excited. It's not the time to relax and get excited yet."
The moment Kiryu said this, he changed into a meaningful tone.
"The game isn't over yet."
Unfortunately, Kinoshita Mai, who was still immersed in shame, did not notice that Kiryu seemed to have something in her words.
…
…
The other end of the "auditorium"——
"Hug...ha...sorry...I...I'm late..."
A panting young male voice, accompanied by rapid footsteps, suddenly sounded behind Zhousuke and the others.
"Fudo, why are you here now?" Nagakura asked puzzledly at the visitor.
The person who came was a short young samurai—it was another of Aoto’s subordinates: Todo Heisuke.
Although Toudo was concerned about his status as a disciple of the Ito Kenkan and did not check into the Shoeikan as diners like Nagakura and Harada, but during the time when Aoto was resting in the Showeijuan, Toudou often Someone came to visit Qingdeng.
After going back and forth, Todo unknowingly became familiar with everyone in the trial defense hall.
Therefore, he had received the invitation "Come over and watch the game today" a long time ago.
"A battle with Genbukan's Red and White? It seems very interesting. I will definitely come to watch the game!" - this was Todo's reply at the time.
However, since the official start of the competition, everyone in the trial defense hall has not seen Todo.
Everyone, including Aonto, thought Toudo was not coming.
"Sorry...ha...ha..."
Toudo, whose face was covered with sweat and flushed fiercely, quickly ran to Shusuke and others, bent over and supported his knees with both hands, sucking in oxygen greedily.
"I...ha...ha...accidentally...ha...overslept today...how...is the game...? Ha...is it over?"
Todo wiped the sweat from his face vigorously and looked up at the field ahead.
"It's not over yet." Harada laughed a few times, "But it should be almost there. There is only one person left at the Xuanwu Hall, and there are still 5 people at our Trial Guard Hall."
"Really?"
Toudo blinked hard, and then quickly looked at the scene on the field carefully.
At this time, a helpless old laughter suddenly sounded.
"Hoo hoo ho... 'But it should be soon'..."
Zhousuke first repeated what Harada had just said, and then while stroking his smooth chin, he continued softly.
"The game is far from over. You young people still need to broaden your horizons."
"Huh?" Harada tilted his head and looked at Zhousuke doubtfully.
Nagakura, Saito, Toudo and others also focused their attention on Shusuke.
Zhousuke, who was stared at so directly by everyone, said calmly with a calm expression:
"None of you have seen Chiba Doisaburo's true ability, right?"
When he read the words "real ability", Shusuke emphasized his tone in a strange tone.
"Yong, Tachibana-kun, Suisan, Souji, and Yuan, the five of them are really powerful."
"But they all still have a long way to go on their journey to martial arts."
"There is still... a big gap between them and warriors of Chiba Dosaburo's level."
"Have you forgotten who Chiba Michisaburo is?"
Speaking of this, Zhousuke changed into a self-deprecating tone.
"He is the current head of the Xuanwu Hall and the second-generation head of the Beichen Ittoryu clan."
…
…
On the playing field——
The cardiopulmonary function is stronger than that of ordinary people... From Qingdeng's personal feeling, this should be the most useful talent he has copied today.
Whether in martial arts or in daily life, good cardiopulmonary function is of great use.
The so-called cardiopulmonary function refers to the ability of the human heart to pump blood and the lungs to inhale oxygen.
The entire human body needs oxygen to burn the energy stored in the body and turn it into heat energy sufficient to drive normal human activities. Oxygen is inhaled by the lungs, so the size of the lungs and the number of times they move are very important. The heart is responsible for delivering oxygen to various organs and parts through the blood circulation system, so the strength of the heart beat will affect the blood flow.
In martial arts, cardiopulmonary function is linked to physical strength.
In daily life, good cardiopulmonary function represents strong body resistance, and the incidence of a large number of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, is greatly reduced.
It had been a long time since he had received a powerful talent that was quite useful...but Qingdeng didn't have the time to savor this joy at the moment.
While shaking his bamboo sword vigorously, he stood up slowly and looked expressionlessly at Chiba Michisaburo not far away who was still fighting with Souji and others.
The "Red and White Battle" is a game that is not complete until the general is defeated.
Michizaburo Chiba, who is wearing the jinhaori of the general, still has the porcelain bowl in front of his forehead intact... so the battle between Aonto and the others is not over yet!
As far as the results are concerned, Souji and the others have perfectly completed the task of "holding back Michizaburo Chiba".
From the beginning of the battle to now, Chiba Michizaburo has been tightly entangled by Souji and the others.
While Souji and the others succeeded in holding Chiba Michizaburo back, they were still in good condition. All of them were intact, and no one's porcelain bowl was broken.
And judging from the expressions on Souji's and others' faces, they currently have enough energy left.
--strangeness……
At this time, Qingdeng felt a little strange for no reason.
——Souji and the others...did they fight too easily...?
Although Qingto had met Chiba Dosaburo several times before, he had never been lucky enough to see him fighting with others.
As for Chiba Doisaburo's strength, Qingto only knew that he was very strong...but exactly how strong Qingto was, he was confused.
——Is this really the strength of Chiba Michizaburo? Or……
With this question popping up in his mind, Qingto subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the Souji and the others - he was surprised to find that the faces of the Souji and the others all had expressions of confusion and solemnity. .
Aoto didn't know that - as people who directly confronted Chiba Michizaburo, Souji and the others had long felt a... strange strangeness.
To describe it concretely with words... Souji and the others feel that the battle with Michizaburo Chiba so far has been like fighting cotton - no matter how hard they hit the cotton, the cotton will remain intact. And it returns to its original shape due to its soft elasticity.
Souji and the others did not hold anything back, and had always tried their best to fight Chiba Michizaburo.
But no matter how they attacked, they were unable to cause even a little effective damage to Chiba Michizaburo...
While Seito and Souji were still secretly puzzled——
"……pretty"
The left hand holding the wakizashi naturally hangs down, and the katana held in his right hand is casually carried on his shoulder - Chiba Michizaburo is standing in this posture as if he is relaxing in his garden, and looks in a clockwise direction. , scanning the faces of Qingdeng and others one by one.
His eyes glanced at everyone else, but they lingered longest on the faces of Ayoto and Souji.
"Everyone except me, including Shiro, was wiped out... To be honest, this result is really beyond my expectation."
"I now understand a little bit what my father and uncle used to say to us, 'rebirth is terrible'."
Speaking of this, Chiba Michizaburo showed a faint smile to Qingto and others.
It's not a sarcastic sneer.
But a smile of pure appreciation.
"Hey." Hijikata took over Chiba Doisaburo's words in a teasing tone, "You are only 25 years old this year, right? Why are you speaking as if you are an old man who is about to run out of fuel? "
"Please forgive me. I accidentally became a little sentimental." Michizaburo Chiba slowly put down the sword on his right shoulder, "Today is really a happy day."
At this moment, the smile on Chiba Dosaburo's face changed.
The appreciative smile turned into a bright smile as if he had thought of something happy.
"The blood is heating up... Come on, let the fight continue!"
The moment Chiba Michizaburo shouted this sentence... the atmosphere suddenly changed!
At this moment, Qingdeng and others felt as if there was a huge monster in front of them, overwhelming them!
An oppressive and surging aura escaped from Chiba Michisaburo's body!
Qingdeng... no, Qingdeng and others on the field, as well as some of the spectators in the "auditorium", all had their pupils shrinking uncontrollably.
As for those who have no understanding of martial arts...such as Okita Hikaru and his wife, Kubei and others, although they cannot keenly sense the aura of Chiba Michizaburo, they can notice the sudden change in the atmosphere of the arena. .
In an instant, the expressions of Qingto, Souji and others on the field became extremely solemn.
What is this surging aura that is gushing out from Chiba Doisaburo's body at this moment... Qingden and the others know it.
It's "power"!
In the "auditorium", Kiryu looked calmly at the distant field and murmured softly: "The game has officially begun..."
At this time, Chiba Dosaburo took a deep breath, and then quietly raised his sword.
The left hand lowers the side of the body and holds the lower part; the right hand raises the knife and raises the upper part... Chiba Doisaburo, who put on such a strange posture, said with a half-smile but not a smile:
"Beichen Two Sword Style, Chiba Dosaburo."
"Go on...!"
Snap!
Michizaburo Chiba's hind feet scraped the ground and pounced on Aoden like a carnivorous beast!
When Qingdeng's field of vision went dark for a moment due to blinking, a sword that filled his entire field of vision had already swept across!
Qingden's pupils suddenly shrank, and driven by muscle memory and body instinct, he quickly raised his sword to defend himself.
Snapped--!
The bamboo sword rubbed against the bamboo sword, making a sharp noise that was close to tearing the sword body and eardrums apart.
——What a strength!
Aomori looked at Chiba Michizaburo who was very close to him across the two swords framed together.
He held the sword with both hands, while Chiba Michosaburo held the sword with one arm. As a result, he failed to take advantage of Chiba Michosaburo in the duel of strength!
With an extra bit of strength, Chiba Michizaburo immediately added another bit of strength... The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one could overwhelm the other in terms of strength.
"Tachibana-kun! Watch out for his other sword!"
A loud reminder from the Souji came from the right side.
This reminder from the Director-General is actually unnecessary.
Because Qingdeng had already discovered it - a short, narrow black shadow was striking at his waist from the corner of his field of vision!
It's the wakizashi on Chiba Doisaburo's left hand!
Sensing the approaching danger, Qingto quickly dodged his body to the left, and with his body and knife, he dodged to the right side of Chiba Michizaburo, and took the initiative to withdraw from the wrestling.
A cold bamboo wakizashi brushed against his lower abdomen.
The distance between Chiba Michizaburo's surprise attack and his own body was so close that the skin of Aonto's abdomen could clearly feel the presence of Wakizashi Senge.
At this moment, Qingden recalled with hindsight: This seemed to be the first time he had fought against a swordsman who used the two-sword style.
Michizaburo Chiba is a swordsman who can do two things at once, and can perform a "double double attack" on his own. The information about Michizaburo Chiba that I have heard before seems to have a consciousness of its own. flashed through Qingden's mind.
At this moment, the general manager and the others arrived.
Souji, Kondo, Hijikata, and Inoue approached Chiba Michizaburo from four directions respectively.
Michizaburo Chiba turned his face slightly, and quickly glanced at where Souji and others were standing with the corner of his eye, and then his tall body started to spin rapidly like a windmill!
The torso is the axis of the "windmill", and the two swords held in both hands are the fan blades of the "windmill".
call! call! call! call! call……
The two bamboo swords were constantly swung, blowing strong winds one after another.
Sometimes the two swords slashed in the same direction, and sometimes they separated and struck sharply in different directions.
The "windmill" spins faster and faster... It's impossible to get close.
Qingto, who wanted to rush forward and cooperate with the general director and others to launch a pincer attack on Chiba Michizaburo, could only hold back in the face of this "big windmill" whose speed and potential energy could only be described as terrifying. They quickly retreated like Souji and others, widening the distance from Chiba Michizaburo to avoid being implicated by the "fan blades" of the "windmill".
The "windmill" rotated a full 10 times before it came to a stop.
At this time, Aomori and others happened to be surrounding Chiba Michizaburo in a position similar to a "pentagonal star".
At this moment, Qingto and others all stared at Chiba Michizaburo who was surrounded by them with extremely serious and solemn expressions and eyes.
Aoto, who had just joined the battle against Michizaburo Chiba, might not know it very well, but Souji and Kondo saw it quite clearly - compared to the time when the four of them desperately entangled him, Chiba Ye Daozaburo's sword speed and sword strength have all been greatly improved!
"You guy..." Hijikata, who had a bad temper, shouted directly with a stern face, "Didn't you show your true ability to fight us just now?"
"No."
Chiba Michosaburo shook his head gently.
"I played very hard just now."
"It took me a lot of effort to barely block the attack from the four of you."
"But it's different now - I won't hold back anymore."
Chiba Michizaburo rearranged his left wakizashi to hold the lower part, and raised the upper part with his right hand in a strange posture. His eyes shone with a fierce desire to fight.
"If we challenge five of you, even I wouldn't dare to challenge you."
"I will do my best...to defeat you!"
The majestic fighting spirit, accompanied by the surging "power", burst out from Chiba Michisaburo!
"That's it..."
Facing this wave of shockingly oppressive aura, Qingdeng readied his sword calmly.
He smiled.
An unpretentious smile.
"That's great! I can't wait, come here quickly!"
…
…
In the "audience seat"——
"Since Mr. Chiba Dosaburo's real strength is so strong, why didn't he use all his strength from the beginning when he fought Okita-kun and the others?" A certain swordsman from the Chiba Sword Hall asked in confusion. murmured.
After hearing the swordsman's murmur, Chiba Nobuyoshi next to him said softly:
"...He should be waiting for Tachibana-kun to free up his hands to fight him."
"Ha..." Chiba Jutaro laughed dryly, "This is indeed the style of Taoist brother..."
Chiba Sadayoshi raised his face, his eyes buried in wrinkles, and while watching all the movements on the field attentively, he said quietly:
"Because the third nephew is always taciturn and aloof from the world, people often forget that the third nephew is the most aggressive one in our Chiba family..."
…
…
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped……
In the arena, the sound of bamboo swords clashing sounded repeatedly and continuously.
Shock and roar shake the atmosphere.
——As brothers, the difference in strength is too great...
After struggling to receive another heavy blow from Chiba Dosaburo, Qingto couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chiba Michizaburo and Chiba Tamonshiro, whom he had just faced off against...the difference in strength between these two brothers was not even a little bit different.
Aoto cooperated with Souji and others, and five of them defeated Chiba Michizaburo. Not only did they not take any advantage, but they were suppressed by Chiba Michizaburo!
Although Kondo, Hijikata and others had been fortunate enough to see Chiba Michosaburo take action several times before, they had never seen what Chiba Michosaburo would look like after he tried his best.
Therefore, facing Michizaburo Chiba, who is now in full swing, Kondo and the others feel particularly unfamiliar.
Chiba Dosaburo's swordsmanship is extremely weird.
When fighting him, you can't help but have a weird feeling as if you are fighting a pair of twins who have a very high tacit understanding!
Michizaburo Chiba is like having two brains that can operate independently. The two brains control two hands respectively.
The two knives on the left and right hands can execute different moves at the same time, from different directions, and against the same target or multiple targets.
Although there is only one opponent in front of me, it feels like I am being attacked by two masters...
Chiba Dosaburo also knows the trick of using less to fight more.
He kept moving and changing positions, never staying too long in any one place.
Relying on his superb footwork and control of the battle situation, he abruptly cut a "1 vs. 5" melee into 5 "1 vs. 1" matches.
Chiba Dosaburo was very fond of his "big windmill" sword technique.
I saw him relying on his "big windmill" to successfully push back Qingdeng and others who tried to besiege him. With a "paha" sound, his feet shoveled the soil on the ground and galloped towards the well like a wild beast. Approaching!
From just now, Qingnobu and others have keenly sensed that Chiba Michizaburo has been deliberately pouring out fierce attacks like a violent storm on Inoue.
He must have wanted to knock Inoue out first and reduce the number of his opponents.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Michizaburo Chiba's right hand started with a large upper-hand sword, and used a set of "New Year's Sword Technique" to strike Inoue with three powerful vertical slashes.
Inoue reluctantly accepted the three blows from Chiba Michisaburo. Before he could take a breath, he saw a new slash coming towards him from an extremely tricky angle - this time, it was Chiba Michizaburo. The wakizashi came over.
The wakizashi on Chiba Michizaburo's left hand quietly "touched" the corner of Inoue's field of vision at some point - this is a position that the human eye often ignores subconsciously.
In fact, Inoue didn't notice Chiba Michosaburo's wakashi until Chiba Michosaburo's attack was launched.
"Well..." Inoue leaned back hard, trying to avoid Chiba Michizaburo's surprise attack.
Qingto and the others also came as quickly as possible, hoping to support Inoue who was in danger.
However... whether it was Inoue's dodge or Qingto's support, they were all a step too slow.
Bang!
A crisp cracking sound.
Michizaburo Chiba's wakizashi accurately hit the porcelain bowl in front of Inoue's forehead.
Inoue dazedly raised his hand and touched his empty forehead, then sighed with regret... holding his bamboo sword, he retreated to the outside.
At this time, Qingdeng and the others finally arrived too late.
The four of them surrounded Chiba Michizaburo from the east, west, south and north directions, and launched a fierce pincer attack on Chiba Michizaburo.
Four swords fell like raindrops on Chiba Michizaburo's body.
This time, Chiba Michizaburo no longer had the "big windmill" that made his strength, speed and pressure extremely terrifying.
He took a deep breath, spread his legs, stood still, and faced the attacks from Qingdeng and others!
The sword was swung at high speed... The two swords in his hands were swung by Chiba Michizaburo like 4 swords or 8 swords!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped……
The dense clashing sound of bamboo swords exploded like exploding beans.
Aoto and the others were all caught with their slashes... Not only that, Chiba Doisaburo also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
This time, Chiba Dosaburo's target was Kondo.
The side of the left hand was in mid-air to seal the tip of Kondo's sword, and at the same time, the sword of the right hand was approaching Kondo's face in an arc... all in one movement!
After the battle with Chiba Michizaburo began, Aoto's "Solitary" was automatically activated... Aoto believed that Kondo was the same.
Kondo’s “lonely courage” is definitely in full swing right now.
But even though he was in a state of full "solitude", Kondo still struggled to dodge Chiba Douzaburo's surprise attack with extremely tricky timing and angle.
Kondo hurriedly took two steps back, barely dodging Chiba Michizaburo's sword.
At this time, support from Hijikata arrived.
Hijikata, who was standing on the right side of Chiba Michisaburo, freed up his left hand and reached out to grab Chiba Michizaburo's left wrist.
He has taught himself a lot of moves from other sects and the earthwork techniques of Yeluzi, and he is best at using various strange moves to deal with the enemy according to the situation.
Hijikata wanted to use his self-taught jujitsu to remove the katana attack on Chiba Doisaburo's right hand. It would be best if he could remove it. If it can't be removed, restraining Chiba Dosaburo's body and giving the others a chance to attack would be a good result.
As soon as he saw it, he was about to catch Chiba Michizaburo's right wrist... Unexpectedly, Chiba Michizaburo's movements were extremely flexible. He gently twisted his right wrist, and Hijikata missed it.
In an instant, two figures appeared behind Chiba Michisaburo—Aomori and Souji.
Judging from their positions, Aoto and Souji were perfectly positioned, standing right in the blind spot of Chiba Michizaburo's sight.
As a result, Chiba Michizaburo suddenly stretched out his arms backwards as if he had eyes on his back - attacking Souji with the wakizashi in his left hand, and attacking Aoden with the katana in his right hand.
In desperation, Ayoto and Souji, who had not yet had time to launch an offensive, could only quickly retreat and distance themselves from Chiba Michisaburo.
At this time... the "big windmill" is here again!
Chiba Michisaburo swung the two swords in his hands, forcing Qingto and others to continue to retreat in embarrassment, further away from Chiba Michizaburo...

Asking for a monthly ticket! Please vote for recommendation! (Leopard head crying.jpg)
Dosaburo Chiba is [one of the strongest swordsmen in Edo]. Those book friends who think that the current Aoto can suppress Dosaburo Chiba are really overthinking... If the current Aoto can suppress Dosaburo Chiba, Wouldn’t the fighting power collapse? Don't think how strong Qingdeng is now, he still has a long way to go.
I wonder if any book friends have played "Dark Souls 3"? Those who have played it can substitute Chiba Michizaburo's windmill into the big boss: the dancer's windmill. After such a generation, do you feel that the pressure of Chiba Michizaburo has skyrocketed?
