Qihe originates from Dantian.

The sound of bamboo swords striking each other.

The two's extraordinary attack speed and incredible frequency of sword swings make the viewer's sense of time appear to be wrong.

I thought they had been fighting for more than ten minutes.

But in fact, less than 3 minutes have passed.

As a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, Momoi Haruzang naturally knew that if the fight continued like this, he would definitely lose if his physical strength was not superior.

So, he found another way and began to use various tricky and difficult swordsmanship techniques.

The sword's edge, which seemed to be striking head-on, suddenly stabbed out like a snake emerging from its hole.

The figure that seemed to be retreating suddenly jumped up like a cracking string.

After changing the tactics, it was immediately effective.

For a time, Qingdeng was forced into danger by the unpredictable and wonderful moves.

However... Momoi Haruzang's advantage only lasted for a moment.

In a moment, with the blessing of his heaven-defying swordsmanship talent, his "ghost heart" understanding, and his extremely rich combat experience, Aomori quickly adapted to Momoi Haruzo's routine and once again took the initiative.

Judging from the situation, Momoi Haruzo has fallen behind.

However, even so, he remained calm and composed.

Not only is his demeanor still graceful, but even the clothes on his body and the expression on his face are intact.

At this point, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the opponent in front of him.

He finally understood why everyone who had contact with Momoi Haruzang praised his taste and style.

The ability to still show off even when you are at a disadvantage... is indeed admirable.

At this time, a strange competitive spirit suddenly arose in Qingdeng's chest.

In an instant, he used his bamboo sword to open the tip of Momoi Haruzo's sword, then lowered his waist and gathered strength.

Then, he struck hard with his sword from the upper right to the lower left.

This cassock chop was done in one go.

Momoi Haruzo, who didn't dare to challenge him head-on, jumped back.

Qingdeng also stepped back to keep the distance between them.

While retreating, he turned his right wrist to hold the sword in a flower, changing from an overhand grip to an underhand grip. Then he imitated the action of sheathing a sword and put the bamboo sword into a "sheath" - pinned to his left waist and held in a ring.

In the left palm of the hand.

Steady your legs and feet, lower your lower body, and place your right hand lightly on the hilt of the sword in a naturally relaxed position - the standard Iai posture.

Seeing this, Momoi Haruzang raised his eyebrows involuntarily, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Your Majesty Nioh, the sword-drawing technique is a martial art that uses the curvature of the scabbard to produce a moment of explosive power. If you don't have a scabbard and only hold the sword with your left palm, can you really exert its due power?"

Qingdeng smiled meaningfully.

"If you think I'm bluffing, you can attack me! You're welcome!"

Momoi Haruzang smiled.

With the next breath, he took a long breath, exhaled all the turbid air in his lungs, then raised his bamboo sword and adopted the Blue Eyes pose.

At this moment, the air between the two was filled with a strong and sad smell.

"..."

"..."

Time seems to have frozen at this moment.

"Pa" - a sound. In this moment, time and air flow rapidly!

Two deafening loud explosions, one after another, dominated the eardrums of everyone present.

The first loud noise was the sound of Momoi Haruzo's footsteps.

He jumped towards Qingdeng with force that seemed to break the floor.

Accompanied by the momentum of the sprint, Qingyan's bamboo sword slashed down diagonally.

The second loud noise... was the sound of Aoden breaking Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword.

At the same moment when Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword fell, Aomori drew his sword with his backhand.

He drew his sword at a very tricky angle, and the blade swiped across the side of Momoi Haruzou's sword from bottom to top, and countless dust and bamboo shavings burst out.

While removing most of Momoi Haruzou's strength, it also destroyed its center of gravity.

Under the tug of the sword blade, Qingto ducked to the side of Momoi Haruzo.

However, Momoi Haruzo's body leaned half a step forward due to inertia.

The side of Momoi Haruzo's body and the side of the bamboo sword were completely exposed to Aomori's sword!

Knowing that something serious was going on, Momoi Haruzo quickly adjusted his posture.

However... it's too late.

At the same time that the two figures overlapped, Qingteng's drawn sword happened to be raised to the highest point in the air.

Soon enough, he stretched out his left hand, grasped the bottom of the hilt of the sword with his left palm, turned his wrists, and the sword turned half a circle, and the tip of the sword that was originally facing down became facing up - a reverse grip.

The bamboo sword becomes an upright grip!

Buzz!

The sword edge slashed down with the force of a hanging river! It hit the side of Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword without any hesitation.

Bamboo swords are different from knives.

The blade and back of the knife can withstand a lot of force vertically, but are much more vulnerable to the forces that hit the knife surface from the side.

On the other hand, the bamboo sword has no distinction between the blade and the back.

It is a cylinder.

It can be said that the whole sword is the blade, and it is also the sword surface or the sword back.

However, if a very bad posture and position are used to withstand huge pressure, the bamboo sword will also be at risk of breaking.

As for Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword... it happens to be in a very bad position right now.

Judging from the sound of the breaking wind, Qingdeng's attack really used strength.

Bang!

The two bamboo swords collided heavily.

The next moment, there was only a "snap" sound, and Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword broke into two pieces.

The severed blade flew high into the air, then drew a weak parabola and landed on the ground not far away.

Qingdeng's attack was exactly Rakshasa's move.

At the beginning, Rakshasa used this move to cut off Aonto's Echizen Tsutama and Kanashige.

With his "ghost heart" and his talent for swordsmanship a hundred times that of ordinary people, Qingden secretly learned this move from Rakshasa.

Although he was still a little unskilled, fortunately, he did not lose his skill in this battle, and he successfully broke Momoi Haruzo's bamboo sword.

Momoi Haruzo blinked and looked at the half-cut blade left in his hand in surprise.

The reality of defeat did not cast any gloom on his expression.

"……pretty!"

Momoi Haruzang straightened up, showed a bright smile, and announced loudly with a magnanimous expression:

"I lost!"

As his words fell, a cold mechanical sound without any emotion came into Qingdeng's mind as expected:

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Heirloom hair and childlike appearance +5"]

[Introduction to talent: not easy to look old]

——Auxiliary talent...

Qingdeng divided talents into two categories.

One is the "combat-type talents" that are helpful in combat, such as "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" and "Super Speed ​​+5".

The second is the "auxiliary talents" that are beneficial to life. Typical representatives are "Yingwei", "Drunkard +2", and the newly acquired "Hero-haired and childlike +5".

Of course, this classification is relatively rough.

After all, there are many talents that can be regarded as both "combat talents" and "auxiliary talents". For example, "Concentration of God" and "Left and Right Fighting".
