Chapter 729 The Talent Show of Generations of Sword Masters

Upon hearing Chuanzang's words, a navy officer stared blankly at the sword in his hand. "The Sword King? Munechika? That sword... you robbed the royal family of the Land of Power?!"

In response, a noticeable curve appeared on the lips beneath the mask.

Kuro remembered and said, "Ah... I've heard of that. The swordsman king of the Land of Power. The kings of this country have all been swordsmen."

This was a rumor he learned by chance from the old man after he went to headquarters and hung out with Kizaru.

In a country in the New World, the kings have always been swordsmen, or rather, only swordsmen can become kings.

The royal family of this country is very large. Only those who practice swordsmanship and become the most skilled swordsman can become king.

This knife is probably a symbol of the king.

However, what Kuro remembered at the time wasn't this incident, but rather that small country where half the population was royalty...

That means they can really give birth.

Chuanzang said proudly, "That's right, I just got this recently. The people of that country are very tenacious, but they are no match for me. This famous sword has been owned by many sword masters throughout history, but the strongest one was Phil, who made the name of 'Sword Master King' resound throughout the sea."

He gripped 'Munechika' with both hands, stepped forward, assumed a sword-wielding stance, and said, "Come and test the power of this swordsman!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and slashed Kuro vertically with his long sword from top to bottom.

The momentum has changed again. If it was fierce and unstoppable before, it now has a more dignified and upright feel.

"A swordsmanship that uses power to intimidate others?"

when!

Kuro swung his Shusui sword to block the attack. Sparks flew as the blades clashed. With a quick slash, Kuro pulled to the side, his blade cutting into Munechika's sword as he swung it away. He then swung his sword horizontally toward Kawatsuka's chest.

Chuanzang stepped back, Zongji held the sword upright in front of his chest to block the horizontal swing of Qiushui, parried it outwards, lowered Qiushui, and delivered a reverse kasaya strike close to the black blade towards Kuro.

Kuro turned his head to the side, and a beam of light flashed past where his head had been, cutting a gap in the building behind him.

"Well done," Kuro praised.

This swordsmanship is truly upright and honorable.

"After seeing such swordsmanship, do you still have the energy to praise it? You won't be able to praise it later. Mikazuki!"

Chuanzang resumed his sword-wielding stance, took a deep breath, and his eyes shone brightly. In that instant, his body split into three, appearing on the left, right, and sides in front of Kuro. The blade of Munechika was imbued with Haki, and they all slashed down together.

"Afterimage? No, it's a sword strike at almost simultaneous speed..."

Kuro looked surprised as the three vertical slashes descended with incredible speed, instantly tearing his body apart.

"That's really good."

The sound came from behind Chuanzang, along with a black glint that swept directly to Chuanzang's neck.

Chuanzang's hair stood on end, and he bent down, using his strength to leap forward like a dog, thus dodging the sudden knife attack from behind.

Kuro appeared unharmed behind him, while his previously torn body vanished as a phantom in the wind.

Chuanzang jumped in front of Kuro, then turned around and subconsciously touched his neck. A trace of blood appeared in his palm, and his eyes immediately darkened.

"I can also create afterimages at high speeds," Kuro laughed.

Not only can he create afterimages, but he can also make them look incredibly realistic. The unparalleled control of the Float-Float Fruit combined with the ability of the Mysterious God to manipulate the wind allows his afterimages to linger longer and appear even more lifelike.

"Then let's try this!"

Chuanzang put away Zongjin and drew two swords, one on each side. "The left sword is 'Ox,' and the right sword is 'Demon.' The famous swords are the Twin Swords 'Ox Demon'! The swords of the former Ox Demon swordsman. Let's use them to demonstrate our swordsmanship!"

Thump!

He stomped his feet on the ground one after the other like a sumo wrestler, making a loud noise. At that moment, his tall and thin body seemed to swell up considerably.

laugh!

A wisp of white vapor shot out from his mouth and nose with his exhalation, like an arrow.

He held his twin swords horizontally, aiming them at Kuro in a charging stance.

"Yellow Springs Dumu!!"

Bang!

He charged forward, a burst of air erupting from beneath his feet. The blade thrusting forward pierced the air, creating a cloud of energy, like a ferocious and terrifying bull with menacing horns charging straight at him.

At this moment, the atmosphere of Sichuan and Tibet transformed into an atmosphere of terror and awe.

Another swordsman.

"Simply put, you've combined the skills of renowned swordsmen throughout history..."

Kuro sheathed Shusui, gripped the tsuba with his left thumb and the hilt with his right, and said:

"If Hawkeye, that bastard, knew about you, he'd probably love you."

brush!

With a swift movement, Qiu Shui drew up a streak of black light, and Kuro's body vanished, leaving a black straight line in front of him, heading straight for the charging Chuanzang.

Bang!

The charging phantom of the bull demon crumbled beneath the black straight line.

Chuanzang's body was thrown into the air by the force, and at that moment Kuro appeared behind him, sheathing Shusui with a 'click'.

"A narrow passage," he said calmly.

"Damn it!!"

With a roar, Chuanzang's body, which had just landed in mid-air, suddenly leaped upwards and turned to face Kuro.

With a hiss, his clothes burst open, revealing four gleaming blades on each wrist.

"The famous sword 'Earth Spider'! Todoroki!!"
