"Brother You Hong."
A rough voice sounded from the end of the mountain road.
A figure gradually emerged under the light.
The man was of stocky build, wearing a white Taoist robe, a bamboo sword on his waist, and a black turban tied on his forehead.
"Yaodou!" You Hong shouted with a hint of a smile on his face.
He continued to shout, "I brought an extra apprentice today, do you mind?!"
"No problem! It's an honor for me to have Brother Youhong come to my place. Come on, come on, come in and sit down." Uejima Haruto pulled Youhong into the sword shop.
Keiji Miyamoto, who was standing by, was not surprised and even told Louis some things about the sword shop.
"Uejima Haruto is the name of my uncle. Uncle Haruto is a close friend of my father. It is said that my father once taught Uncle Haruto how to use a sword. Even though my father runs a restaurant now, he was actually a very strong samurai in the past, and his sword skills were first-rate."
As he spoke, a glimmer of admiration for You Hong flashed in Miyamoto Keiji's eyes, and this admiration came from the heart.
"The boss is so powerful?" Louis shouted in surprise.
Miyamoto Keiji nodded: "Yes, it is said that my father was the best master in the family! I don't know what happened later, but my father took me away from Yamato..."
"Ahem, actually, you should have realized it. Actually, my father is not from the Tang Dynasty. However, if you want to live in the Tang Dynasty permanently, one of your parents must be from the Tang Dynasty. So in order to live in the Tang Dynasty with me, my father declared to the public that he is from the Tang Dynasty. In fact..."
Before Miyamoto Keiji could finish his words.
With a "click".
The bamboo sword fell on Miyamoto Keiji's back. It was You Hong who did it. He interrupted Miyamoto Keiji in time: "Why are you talking so much? Who did you learn this from?"
"Stop talking nonsense, take your bamboo sword and see how much you have improved."
You Hong went straight to the point and took his stance.
Miyamoto Keiji took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: "This time I must survive ten moves from my dad!"
As he said this, he put down his luggage and took a bamboo sword from Louis.
Louis also put his luggage in a corner, holding a bamboo sword in his hand, and watched the fight between Miyamoto Keiji and You Hong quietly.
At this moment in the sword hall, Haruto Uejima also sent the other apprentices aside, making room for You Hong and Keiji Miyamoto.
Uejima Haruto said, "Watch carefully, every move of Lord You Hong's sword will save you from many detours!"
"The true swordsmanship master is right in front of you now!"
The apprentices immediately started chattering.
Several apprentices who had recently joined the sword school shouted, "Is this skinny old man more powerful than you, teacher!?"
Uejima Haruto slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "I am not as good as Brother Youhong's hand."
What this means is that You Hong can beat him with one hand.
After understanding this meaning, the apprentices all showed disbelief on their faces.
"How is that possible?! Teacher, you have achieved a good result in the top three of Tianhe Sword Technique!"
"Yes! There are only a handful of people who can beat you, Sensei, in Tianhe swordsmanship!"
"That uncle looks so skinny, how could he possibly beat the teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Haruto Uejima just shook his head. A few traces of memories flashed through his eyes, and in the end he could only sigh.
"If Brother You Hong was in his prime, it would take more than just one hand. Even if I had two hands, I wouldn't be able to defeat him."
Isn’t this too exaggerated?
The apprentices looked at each other, all with a hint of surprise on their faces.
You give up both hands and don't hold the knife, and you still can't win?
Is this just an exaggeration... or does this skinny uncle in front of me really have this ability?
At this moment, all eyes were focused on You Hong, as if they had seen some strange creature.
At this moment, You Hong tightly grasped the bamboo sword, his aura gradually became steady, and a calm look flashed across his eyes.
Miyamoto Keiji clenched the bamboo sword tightly in both hands, holding his breath and concentrating. The two men stared at each other quietly with their eyes as sharp as torches.
Space and time seemed to be paused, leaving only the sounds of each other's breathing and footsteps, interweaving to create a tense atmosphere.
They paced back and forth, secretly looking for flaws, but did not act rashly.
Louis leaned against the wall and observed quietly. He realized that his previous knife skills were just cutting meat with brute force, but the duel before him was a real knife skills competition, not just a simple competition of strength and speed.
Although no action has been taken at this moment, we have fallen into a stalemate of "if the enemy does not move, I will not move". Once someone takes the lead in action, the situation will change suddenly, and it will be turbulent and out of control.
As expected, Miyamoto Keiji took the lead, rushed forward with a bamboo sword and started slashing.
You Hong twisted his neck slightly and dodged cleverly. His body was as agile as a flying swallow spreading its wings, and the bamboo sword attacked Miyamoto Keiji.
Miyamoto Keiji quickly twisted his wrist to block, and You Hong's bamboo sword slashed at his calf like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Miyamoto Keiji raised his leg to dodge and at the same time hit You Hong in the face with his bamboo sword.
You Hong twisted his body in a spiral to avoid the attack, but Miyamoto Keiji chased him closely with his bamboo sword, and You Hong used the bamboo sword to chop his lower limbs.
Miyamoto Keiji was forced into a desperate situation, so he simply jumped up and slashed randomly in the air.
You Hong raised the corner of his mouth and easily dodged to create some distance.
Miyamoto Keiji lost his balance because his feet were off the ground, and You Hong seized the opportunity, flashed behind him, and hit him on the back with a bamboo sword.
“Bang—”
It ended without any suspense.
From the very beginning, Miyamoto Keiji was gradually led by You Hong in the battle between them, so it was normal for him to fail.
You Hong commented: "There is progress, but the last blow is a failure. If you rashly attack in mid-air when you can't grasp the situation, you may die if you are caught.
Qiji, you have grown up and joined the Qianye organization. The road of swordsmanship will become more and more difficult and dangerous. This mistake will be quite fatal to you, so don't make it again.
The only way to deal with an attack from the lower body is to fight for your life and attack the upper body."
You Hong's swordsmanship is radical and somewhat life-threatening, but because of its radicalism, it achieves the most effective defense. His life-for-life attack method often achieves unexpected results.
Miyamoto Keiji's swordsmanship was obviously inherited from You Hong.
Without destruction there is no construction, and the waves are turbulent.
From the last move, it can be seen that Miyamoto Keiji's swordsmanship is also a more aggressive one.
However, compared to Miyamoto Keiji, You Hong's swordsmanship, although radical, is more wise.
Able to think quickly in rapid combat.
This is easy to say but difficult to do in reality.
In a real fight, it is difficult to think about many issues while doing it.
Only true masters will think about gains and losses.
Because real fighting only takes a moment.
For example, the current game between You Hong and Miyamoto Keiji has actually only lasted for a dozen breaths of time.
"It's your turn, Han Li. I remember you said you learned some swordsmanship, right? Let me try your sword." You Hong held the sword in one hand and looked at Louis who was leaning against the corner.
