When Hong Kang stepped into the forest, he knew that there were many people ambushing him.
But he came anyway.
Moreover, he walked over in a swaggering manner, because his appearance had changed.
Hong Kang, holding a knife, stood outside the Siwang Pavilion and looked at the man inside.
He is about thirty-seven or eighty years old, which is the time when a man is at his most vigorous and powerful, and it is also the golden age of a warrior.
"Yagyu Ichibei?!" Hong Kang said softly.
Looking at the familiar sword in Hong Kang's hand, Yagyu Ichibei opened his eyes.
"Onimaru Blade!!"
"Where is my brother?"
Hong Kang said: "He said he wanted to see your Amaterasu, and I was kind-hearted and allowed him to do so."
As soon as the words fell.
Yagyu Ichibei suddenly lost his momentum.
The air was suddenly filled with a sinister atmosphere, and even the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.
But Hong Kang seemed unaware and still stood there as usual.
Upon seeing this, Ichibei Yagyu said: "It turns out you are still a master! Just let me cut off your spine and see him off!"
Hong Kang looked at Ichibei Yagyu who was getting up slowly and said, "You are afraid."
Yagyu Ichibei denied: "It's nonsense, I have nothing to fear!"
"If you are really fearless, why did you bring these eighteen people with you?" Hong Kang asked, looking around.
"And he also brought a gun."
Hong Kang deliberately sneered: "I heard that you are the second master of the Yagyu family?! How unconfident are you in your own martial arts!!"
Yagyu Ichibei's expression did not change when he heard these taunting words.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to provoke me. Your psychological tactics are really poor and you cannot shake my will at all. You will definitely die here today!"
Seeing Ichibei Yagyu's behavior, Hong Kang immediately put away his sarcastic face.
He knew that the Japanese swordsmen liked to engage in psychological offensives before the official battle in order to weaken the enemy's momentum.
Hong Kang thought about disrupting the opponent's psychological state, but he didn't expect Yagyu Ichibei's mind to be so strong.
"It seems that I can only kill you with hard force."
Saying this, Hong Kang moved his thumb and pushed the knife out of its sheath.
"Keng!"
The sound of the knife is sweet.
Yagyu Ichibei also unsheathed his sword, holding the end of the handle with his left hand and aiming it at the center of his abdomen.
Get into your most familiar knife-holding position.
He said coldly: "If he wants to retreat, you are free to shoot him."
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Echoes of response sounded from all directions.
Hong Kang said: "Do you think you can beat me?"
Yagyu Ichibei didn't answer.
Move the left foot closer to the right foot, then push the ground with the left foot, and use the force of the left foot to push the right foot forward five meters.
"Chopping under the Tang bamboo."
Before the sword arrives, the wind of the sword arrives first.
The blade compressed the air to form a strong wind, and Hong Kang's hair suddenly stood up.
Hong Kang's face remained normal, his body turned slightly to the left, and he raised the knife in his right hand to the right, with the blade pointing upward.
"Dragon shaped knife."
"clang!"
The two knives collided, making a metallic sound.
"What a force!"
Yagyu Ichibei slipped backwards, turned with the sword, and made a horizontal slash.
Hong Kang used the "dragon-shaped hanging knife" to block it, and then slashed with his backhand.
"The white horse cuts its hooves."
"Sanxue Yen-tachi."
"Peep the sword's potential."
"Jackknife gesture."
"Yaegaki."
"Shortcut Xiaojie."
"..."
In just a moment, the two swords clashed with each other in no less than twenty strokes.
Hong Kang used the "Bagua Sword Technique", while Yagyu Ichibei naturally used the moves in the "Moon No. 1".
The light of the sword is like a curtain, and the wind of the sword is whistling.
The two swords "Nagako" and "Onimaru Blade" are both good swords made by the Yagyu family.
Both can withstand the high-intensity swings of the two masters.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-dang..."
The sound of gold and stone striking against each other stopped the clouds.
Ordinary people's eyes can't see clearly the confrontation between the two.
Yagyu Ichibei's movement was like a flying swallow, and he suddenly turned around and was behind Hong Kang.
The "Long Light" in his hand cuts out from bottom to top.
"Must win: Headwind!"
Hong Kang's skin tightened.
He used his two feet as the axis and kept his body motionless. He held the knife in his right hand and dropped rapidly, using the back of the knife to penetrate backward along his left ribs.
"Flowers hidden under the leaves!!"
"Ding!"
This piercing was just enough for the tips of the two knives to hit each other.
Then, Hong Kang exerted force on his wrist, and the number of sword techniques suddenly changed.
"The wind blows the lotus."
The sword suddenly gained a trace of winding strength, and Yagyu Ichibei's sword was deflected to the side.
Hong Kang used the technique of "Tai Chi Knife".
"Aru Hui!"
Following the force of the sword, Yagyu Ichibei immediately moved three meters away.
Before landing, he flashed his steps and moved sideways.
Looking at Hong Kang intently.
The fierce confrontation between the two just now made Yagyu Ichibei's fighting spirit gradually rise, and his blood became hot.
"You are very powerful. Tell me your name. I won't kill unknown people."
Yagyu Ichibei said arrogantly: "Your name can be remembered in my kendo career."
He felt that this was his greatest recognition of the person in front of him.
Hong Kang shook his head and said: "If you only reach this level, I will accept your life."
"Hmph! I don't know what is good and what is evil."
Yagyu Ichibei exerted force in his Dantian, and his aura suddenly rose a few points again, and a sharp edge wrapped around his body.
He raised his sword to attack.
"Okuno Taishou: Random interception."
Hong Kang was about to take the move when he suddenly sensed an extremely condensed inner energy on his sword, which he held but did not release.
He stepped on the "Flying Cloud Step", and his figure was like a light cloud passing over his head.
"laugh!!"
Just as Hong Kang climbed over, a sword energy shot out and struck where Hong Kang was just now.
A crack several inches deep was cut into the ground.
"Okuno Taito: The Unrivaled Sword."
Another sword energy burst out, as if illuminated by the light of the cold moon.
Yagyu Ichibei said proudly: "Can you take this sword?"
But then, his eyes suddenly widened with surprise.
"How can it be??!"
Because Hong Kang also waved a sword energy.
The two sword energies collided in mid-air.
"boom!"
A circle of white smoke suddenly exploded in the air.
The fierce power carried by the sword energy rolled up layers of air waves, blowing sand, stone and dust flying everywhere.
Yagyu Ichibei asked loudly: "This flying slash is the supreme method of my Yagyu family, why do you use it??!"
Hong Kang played a trick and said calmly: "Is this the supreme method? It's not difficult to learn!"
"Forget it, it's a small place after all. With this secret method, you can be proud of it."
Yagyu Ichibei said with a sullen face: "The rats in the stinking ditch stole the sesame oil, so they should hide in fear. Instead of coming to the owner's house and showing off ignorantly."
He suddenly shouted: "Shoot me!!"
Hong Kang's skin tightened, his hairs exploded, and his spirit felt tingling. His keen sense immediately sensed several dangers.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang..."
A dozen gunshots rang out in unison.
Bullets carrying gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped Hong Kang's body...
