Guan Lingxiao's best weapon is the knife.

The blade is three feet long and has a slight arc on the blade. It is simple without any decoration, and only a bright cold light can be seen when it is swung.

The special thing about this knife is that it is "sheathless". The lack of a sheath means that the step of drawing the knife is omitted, and you can just pick it up and chop.

But the enemy he faced at this moment was exactly the opposite of him. This man was perhaps one of the best swordsmen in the world today.

Suharaga lowered his body and leaned forward. The Odachi "Yumemaru" was sandwiched by him in the triangle formed by his left arm, ribs and back, like a strong man carrying a spear.

Guan Lingxiao had Suharaga's figure firmly imprinted in his eyes. He noticed that Suharaga's fighting posture at this moment was very different from before - so would his moves also become different?

"Suhara Itto-ryu·Ogi·Katsuiai." Suharaga muttered the name of the move in a low voice.

"Is it Katsuiai again?" Guan Lingxiao couldn't help but feel dazed. What was he doing in such a weird posture?

In the next moment, Suharaga gave the answer, rushing forward like thunder.

"Shutchi." The body of the Japanese swordsman seemed to be flying close to the ground. In an instant, a huge silver arc was set off at the edge of the ring, and Guan Lingxiao was in the center of the arc-shaped sword wave.

The dream pill and the sheathless blade crossed each other horizontally and vertically in a cross shape, and the horns between the blades were buzzing.

"Extend the range of Iai by rushing in... It's a perfect connection." Guan Lingxiao frowned, obviously not having the upper hand in the struggle.

"Excellent..." Suharaga on the other side was actually not relaxed: "There are not many guys who can take my sword."

The two of them sheathed their knives at the same time in tacit agreement and slashed at each other again.

What Suhara Ga used here was the secret art of Suhara Itto-ryu "Ryuu Slash". Guan Lingxiao didn't know whether it was the swordsmen of the Izumo Kingdom who liked to name the moves like this or it was the tradition of the Suhara family. In short, the Suhara father and son called it out. Most of the move names are based on "a concrete thing plus an action" as a structure, such as "Swallow Cut", "Flow Cut" and so on. As the name suggests, this move "Flow Cut" is a kendo that can cut off the flow of water!

The people of the Suhara family would stand in the tide and swing their swords at the roaring waves until they split the water in two.

At this moment, Guan Lingxiao is none other than Liu Shui!

Return to the sea, stir up the tide and make waves.

At this juncture of the confrontation, I don't know what Guan Lingxiao was thinking, but he actually used his cheap move.

And the usage is exactly the same. After striking a concentrated palm with the left hand, the unsheathed blade of the right hand has already been forced forward.

At that time, when Guan Lingxiao defeated Song Guichao, he also used a knife, the Queying knife of the Lord of Jinguancheng Yue. Today's Suhara He also uses a knife. How similar is the scene?

Suharaga twisted Yumemaru's long handle and slashed, splitting the surging wave in two!

Then...the waves merged into one.

Guan Lingxiao's understanding of Guihai Jue has long surpassed Song Guichao's, so the weaknesses in Song Guichao's moves cannot be his weaknesses. Song Guichao's wave only has one wave, but Guan Lingxiao's is like a roaring wave.

…………

But so what? If you can't cut it with one sword, cut it again until you flatten the current!

Suharaga's eyes burst with light, and the family crest on the back of the pure black Haori floated up and down in the air waves with the pull of his arms. He took a step forward every time he struck a sword, as if he was welcoming a sword in the myth of Izumo Country. Susano'o kills the snake demon with a canine-like fury.

Eight swords, in order to move forward, he fired eight swords, cutting off the tide laid by Guan Lingxiao to pieces, and the last sword accurately cut the unsheathed blade in front of him.

"What a good swordsmanship..." Guan Lingxiao praised across the sword. "I can't compare to such a talent!"

Relying on the weight of the Odachi, Suhara gradually lowered Guan Lingxiao's hand holding the sword: "Does Mr. Guan want to admit defeat?"

"Master Suhara, I have a question - why did you develop the swordsmanship?"

At first glance, Guan Lingxiao's question seemed to be asking Suharaga about the origin of Izumo's kendo, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he was asking something else.

Although Suharaga had a deep understanding of Shengguo culture, it was difficult for even Shengguo people to answer such ambiguous questions, so he honestly said that he did not understand.

"Why did the Suhara family create such a school?" Guan Lingxiao used a more concise and clear explanation this time.

Before he finished speaking, Suharaga had already given the answer: "Because the Suhara family uses force as a symbol of glory and wants to become the strongest swordsman family, I myself also aim to be the strongest swordsman."

"Purely pursuing strength?" While the two of them were slashing at each other with swords, Guan Lingxiao mused to himself thoughtfully: "Let's just consider it as a reason to barely pass the test. The guy who uses the sword is boring, so he is boring here. …”

Faced with such ridiculous remarks and disdainful attitude, Suharaga was obviously a little angry: "Does Mr. Guan have a deeper insight?"

"In the concept of the Central Plains, the sword is the ceremonial weapon of the king." Guan Lingxiao responded to Suharaga's pressing questions with his actions: "And what you call a sword in Izumo Country is obviously a modified version of the sword in my hand!" "

The horizontal sword is the predecessor of the tachi. Even the Yumemaru in Suharaga's hand, which is different from the ordinary tachi, is very similar to the miao sword - but Suharaga is very disdainful of this view. He has never believed that Sheng Guo has some kind of status as a suzerain, not to mention that he just defeated all the Central Plains swordsmen who participated in the battle - that means that Izumo Guo's swordsmanship is stronger! At least it is better than blue.

So Suharaga immediately responded with a "dragon net" move to Guan Lingxiao, hoping to make this guy who didn't know the heights of the world have a better memory.

There is no way to escape from the dragnet. Although this move is difficult to defend and dodge, it is not very powerful. Only someone like the "Flying Cloud Sword" will be defeated by this move, and the purpose of Suhara Ga's use here is In order to connect with his next move...

Unfortunately, during the transition of swinging the sword, Suharaga's movements were forced to stop.

What stopped him was the sheathless blade that was embedded in his torso. Guan Lingxiao pulled out the knife embedded in his flesh and walked around behind Suharaga with ghostly steps: "A knife is different from a sword... A knife is a murder weapon. "

"And my knife... has someone it must kill, so before I kill that guy, I'm going to kill everyone in the way."

The sword technique of piercing Suharaga's defense from the front is called "siege", while the sword technique of circling the back to behead someone is called "bazhai". Guan Lingxiao's self-created sword technique, each move has a strong sense of destruction. means.

Suharaga couldn't sit still and wait for death. When the sheathless blade was about to fall on his neck, Mengmaru was held behind his back at a rather strange angle, a bit like a farmer straddling a pole.

Suhara Itto-ryu is a defensive and counter-attack style that is good at finding opportunities and winning with one sword.

And now is the opportunity.

"Suhara Itto-ryu·Secret Secret·Demon Slash!"

Suharaga didn't know whether others believed in the "God-given" saying, but he believed it himself - because in the dream one day in the summer of the third year of Tenji, he not only copied a handful of "Dream Pills", but he also believed it. He also comprehended the sword skill of killing ghosts in his dream - or to put it more accurately, he finally comprehended it.

The battle with Ran Yuan made him deeply fearful of this young man, and the ideas that Ran Yuan showed him with the edge of the broken sword after the war finally made this grandmaster who had been restrained at the bottleneck for a long time finally One step forward.

Ghost Slashing was a technique he finally mastered completely after receiving "prompts" from Ran Yuan.

.........Perhaps it would be more appropriate for this move that is unique to Suharaga to be prefixed with "ga-ryu"?

The golden light flowed, and Mengwan slashed out with the reverse blade. Yugang's strong toughness was fully displayed at this moment. Suharaga used the force to bounce up from the ground, and the blade flew Guan Lingxiao away at an extremely weird angle.

When Guan Lingxiao stood up again, the Suharaga in his eyes had completely changed...

A vague layer of purple-gold arrogance is entrenched on Mengwan.

"Okay! Okay!" Guan Lingxiao's empty left hand finally drew his sword.
