Chapter 280: Winning and Assassination!
Sakumo and Koyuki's sword duel could be said to be exceptionally wonderful, causing countless people to feel what was called soul-stirring!
And those Land of Iron warriors who thought that it was the luck of the foreigners who had robbed them of their opportunity also obediently shut up.
Before, they didn't use any strength and you fell, so what else was there to talk about?
Gradually, people with discerning eyes could see that under the fierce attack of the contestant 'Tano Dono', Koyuki had completely fallen into a disadvantage. It could only barely resist and attack.
However, if she kept being beaten passively and could not find a chance to fight back, sooner or later there would be problems.
Koyuki clearly understood this, but she was not willing to lose just like this, so she found an opportunity to make a final gamble.
"Ice Sword: North Dragon!"
In the middle of chaos, Koyuki slashed out seven extremely stunning slashes, almost sealing all of Sakumo's dodging space.
And just as he was about to strike, Sakumo encountered the same situation as before. The surrounding temperature immediately dropped to the freezing point, causing his blood to seem to be frozen.
But this time, Sakumo was already mentally prepared, or he had long been wary of this move.
"White Light Blade"
A white light appeared on Sakumo's sabre again, and then it seemed to tear the air, making a harsh roar.
The rapidly falling temperature was forcefully pulled back. At least, it would no longer affect his movements.
Then..
Kacha!
Clang!
Under everyone's gaze, the long blade in Koyuki's hand was directly cut into two. The sword danced in the air for a few rounds before falling to the ground.
Koyuk seemed to have never thought that she would be defeated so miserably, and for a moment, she was stunned on the spot, unable to believe it.
At this time, the outcome of the battle had been decided, so Sakumo silently withdrew his sabre, using this gap to quickly recover his strength, waiting for the next most dangerous moment.
Until Mifune stood up and loudly announced the final winner, Koyuk came back to her senses under the cheers of the crowd.
The cute baby fat face was full of grievance, making people wonder if she would cry in the next second.
But in fact, she just wanted to remember the appearance of the person who defeated her, and she wanted to win back when she had the chance in the future.
"Tano Dono-sama, I lost. I admit defeat. I hope I will have the opportunity to ask you for sword techniques next time."
"You are already very strong, but your sword is not 'sharp'."
In the end, he saw a good seedling, so after thinking for a while, he still reminded the other party.
"Not sharp enough? Indeed, this knife was bought by me casually, not what I usually use."
"I said it was sharp, that is not what I meant!"
Before Koyuk finished speaking, Sakumo interrupted him and said seriously, "I said that your sword is not sharp enough because your heart is always hesitant and not decisive enough."
"Moreover, I can't sense any killing intent from you. You should have never killed anyone, right?"
"There are many kinds of sword, but the sharpest one must be a sword that has seen blood!"
"In the battle with you, although your moves are all exquisite and full of spirit energy, in my eyes, you are only waving a 'blunt saber'. This is the reason for your defeat."
"If we don't solve this problem, even if we fight a hundred more times, you will still be no match for me."
Sakumo's words could be said to be very impolite, but Koyuk showed a strong heart that did not match her appearance. Not only did she accept it, she also asked, "I don't refute your opinion, but if I want to make the sword in my heart sharper, is there only killing?"
When Sakumo heard this question, not only did he not get angry, but he also showed a smile for the first time.
"Of course not. I just gave you the simplest example, and the better nourishment than killing intent is called faith! When your every strike contains a strong belief in why you fight, you will find that the sword in your hand is thousands of times sharper than usual!"
"Well, well said!"
Just after Sakumo finished speaking, Koyuk fell into deep thought, and a voice of praise could not help but come from the side.
It turned out that Mifune could not help but come to the field personally, and then he heard Sakumo's understanding of the sword, which made him extremely agree.
"As a samurai, the sword is faith! If it is just to kill people and wield the weapons in their hands, then it is really bad! And only with faith, or to protect the country, or to protect the family, this is the most powerful moment as a warrior! It is also the original intention of the Land of Iron to hold such a Martial Arts Competition every year!"
"Unfortunately, most of the current samurais are only superstitious about the techniques and skills, and have completely forgotten the foundation of the warrior's strength!"
Mifune's words were said to the two of them, and at the same time, he took this opportunity to tell everyone present.
Many of the samurais who were defeated before bowed their heads in shame.
Faith?
They had long since stopped believing in those illusory things.
It was because only the techniques they learned could truly see the improvement.
From this point alone, their choice was correct.
It was just that in this way, they could only be 'masons', but they could not become 'generals'!
It was because in the process of improving themselves, they completely ignored the role of belief and went the wrong way.
"I think I know what I am missing now."
Under the guidance of Sakumo and Mifune, the two sword masters, Koyuki seemed to have found its own flaw, and her face showed a relaxed look.
Mifune seemed to be tempted, but it was a pity.
"Tano Dono-sama, should I call you that, or should I call you by your other name?"
Just as Mifune said this, Sakumo also took action at the same time. The dagger in his hand was drawn again, and he stabbed out with the dagger as fast as lightning with Body Flickering!
However, Mifune, who had already discovered the identity of Sakumo, dared to reveal the identity of the other party, how could he not be prepared?
The famous black soul sword, which should have been the prize for the winner, directly hit the side of the sabre in Sakumo's hand, causing the hasty attack of Sakumo to fail.
Everyone present was stunned by the change in front of their eyes!
The winner of the Martial Arts Competition actually wants to assassinate Mifune-sama?
Is he crazy
"An enemy has sneaked into the dark. Ah!"
"The enemy has accomplices!"
"Protect Mifune-sama!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two companions of Sakumo, who were hiding in the crowd, immediately began to follow Plan B and create chaos to buy time for Sakumo.
Although the first assassination failed, they all believed that with Sakumo's strength, he would be able to quickly kill Mifune and successfully complete the mission!
So what they needed to do now was to buy some time for him!
