Next is the second group of the semi-finals, the old Samurai Miyamoto Raizo and the young female Samurai Azumi. Among all Samurai, they are the two most incompatible.
If Swordsmanship of Kurobei is violent and wild, then Swordsmanship of Miyamoto Raizo is the opposite, calm and restrained.
Every move looked very ordinary, neither the worst nor the best, but it was such an ordinary Swordsmanship that the female Samurai Azumi could only defend.
Every time she wanted to counterattack with her knife, Raizo seemed to have anticipated it. She took the first step to block the attack with her knife, and then smoothly slashed at Azumi's vital points.
Not long after, the female Samurai Azumi's body was covered in blood. The worst part was that a deep wound was cut on her right arm, almost to the bone. As a result, she could only fight with her left hand holding a sword.
As if aware of Azumi's will, Raizo shook his head and continued to draw the knife with an attitude of neither sorrow nor joy, piercing the palm of Azumi's left hand without any mercy.
With a bang, the Samurai knife fell heavily to the ground.
Raizo drew his knife and stepped back, a pool of blood spilled on the ground.
After Azumi picked up the Samurai knife, he did not attack. He just glanced at Raizo and silently turned around and left the ring.
"The experience gap is too big. This old man is not very powerful..."
Kurobei was the only one left in the waiting area, and he could see this battle clearly.
Raizo completely used his rich experience to crush the female Samurai Azumi, without giving the opponent the slightest chance to breathe or counterattack. The gap was so huge that it was desperate.
After Kurobei thought about it carefully, he came to the conclusion that fighting against this old man Raizo cannot directly compete with Swordsmanship's accumulation.
In terms of Swordsmanship's experience, all the participating Samurai's are not as rich as the others, including him.
You must attack the areas where the opponent is not good at and find weaknesses to win the next competition.
Fortunately, he has such an advantage.
After the break, Kurobei walked onto the ring calmly.
Raizo also walked forward, neither slow nor slow, and always maintained an expression of neither sadness nor happiness on his face.
His face was covered with wrinkles, his body was skinny, and he looked unbelievably old.
It is unimaginable that such an old man, who is about to be buried, can reach this point step by step with such overwhelming momentum.
"The next is the last competition, Kurobei versus Miyamoto Raizo, please get ready."
Kakuzu, with the fair attitude of the referee, allowed the two men to step forward and settle down in their own positions.
The two people's eyes met, and their palms fell on the handle of Samurai's knife. They only waited for Kakuzu's command to attack instantly.
Kakuzu did not get close as before, but came to stand farther away to avoid being affected by the battle.
His intuition told him that the upcoming battle would become extremely violent.
"Start."
After the announcement, a storm of thousands of galloping horses erupted on the ring, instantly engulfing Raizo's old body.
There was no pity, and there was no mercy. Kurobei used his maximum offensive to completely destroy the Swordsmanship experience advantage of the old man Raizo.
Although the characteristics of Samurai are Swordsmanship, Swordsmanship is also full of strange features.
This kind of Swordsmanship, which has been improved by countless Swordsmanship experts from Land of Night, has no other shortcomings except that Chakra consumes a lot of money.
He attempted to use this method to make up for the gap in experience of Swordsmanship.
After all, when it comes to Chakra's strength... He has an advantage even in his prime.
The battle of Samurai is the battle of Chakra!
'I'm sorry, I can't lose this battle.'
Kurobei thought so in his heart, and was about to launch the second round of 'Sword Cannon' to pursue the victory, when suddenly an inexplicable shock struck him, making the hairs on his body stand up.
Without hesitation, he dodged to the side.
Bang!
There was a sound of something being chopped apart, and a sword energy coming from above, shining with a dazzling white brilliance, split the storm into two, and slashed towards the ground.
Tsk!
This sword energy cut a deep straight ravine on the ground, extending to the edge of the arena.
Click click click.
A tearing sound that made one's teeth feel sour came from the arena, and he let out an overwhelmed whine.
Kurobei's pupils suddenly shrank, not only tearing his 'Sword Cannon' from the middle, the aftermath even cut open the ring, which was two meters deep.
This is a specially-made arena that can withstand most Ninjutsu bombing attacks.
"Did you avoid it?"
The old man Raizo was unscathed. He murmured something that was either disappointment or sigh, and his cloudy eyes became extremely deep.
Kurobei felt a chill coming over him, his expression became completely solemn, and he held the handle of the knife with both hands.
He knew that this old man who was about to die was a bit difficult to deal with.
But he didn't expect that this old man would be so troublesome.
"Then do it again."
Kurobei couldn't help but gather Chakra on the Samurai knife again, and Setsuna sent out a shock wave like an explosion. Everything in the ring was covered by a white storm, making the surrounding audience lose their vision.
Land of Night and four Jonin were located on the four sides. In view of the escalation of this battle, they realized that it was difficult to stop the ordinary Release Technique and launched the final plan without hesitation--
I saw the four of them Hand Seals simultaneously, releasing strong Chakra airflow from their bodies.
On the wide circular arena, a transparent light wall was erected along the edge of the arena. The light wall was tens of meters high, with rainbow-colored luster flowing on its surface, forming a huge transparent column that enveloped the entire arena.
Obviously, the four Land of Night Jonin used Barrier Ninjutsu to prevent the aftermath of the attack from spreading to the audience area.
After all, this is not a battle between Genin and Chunin. They only need some simple protection to settle the matter.
"Even Barrier has been unfolded."
Kicho was surprised.
Many spectators also looked surprised, and some of them were so shocked that they stood up from their seats and couldn't help but stretch their heads to look at the ring to see what was going on.
"It's just a reserved insurance. I didn't expect that 'Four Fortified Heavenly Gates' would actually be used."
Yayoi also showed an unexpected expression.
Four Fortified Heavenly Gates Barrier, is Barrier Ninjutsu native to Land of Night.
Its powerful blocking ability is not weaker than 'Four Violet Flames Battle Formation' and other Barrier Jutsu brought by Hisana.
However, compared to Four Violet Flames Battle Formation, Four Fortified Heavenly Gates does not have the ability to burn, and can only use the solid Barrier walls surrounded by four sides to block the target.
The storm stopped on the ring, and large pieces of broken stone hit the light wall of Barrier, making a heavy thumping sound, and finally slid down the light wall.
'Barrier has stood up, in this case...'
Kurobei on the ring glanced at the Barrier light wall erected around him, and made up his mind. He held the handle of the Samurai knife with both hands, and the hesitation in his heart completely disappeared.
Now, he can fight as he pleases without worrying about affecting others.
Opposite him, the old man Miyamoto Raizo, who was about ten meters away, also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. There was a sharp look in his deep and cloudy eyes that had never been shown before.
Kurobei felt the slight tingling on his skin, took a deep breath, and charged forward without hesitation.
After two previous tests, he had roughly figured out the details of Raizo. The long-range Sword Cannon offensive had an effect on Raizo, but the effect was not very satisfactory.
If you want to determine the winner, you can only get close and find the flaws in the opponent.
When Kurobei set out to charge, Raizo stepped on the ground almost simultaneously and flew forward.
Raizo raised the Samurai knife high, the cold light reflected from the blade, and struck Kurobei's body mercilessly.
Kurobei's face was as sinking as water, he held the knife in both hands to attack, and injected a large amount of Chakra towards the Samurai knife with both hands.
Compression, hardening, and release.
Because the amount of Chakra injected was too large, the palm of Kurobei's hand controlling the Samurai knife was trembling faintly.
Fortunately, the material of his Samurai knife was excellent enough. If he replaced it with the ordinary Chakra Blade, it would not be able to withstand such a huge Chakra. It would be squeezed and torn apart by the powerful Chakra in the middle.
The two people's eyes met, and without any words, they both fiercely swung the blades in their hands towards each other.
Boom!
The blades of the knife are not in direct contact with each other, but are collided with the Chakra Infusion of the Samurai knife and the Chakra compressed entity to the extreme.
The air seemed to be baked by high temperature for an instant, and the light gathering around the two people was distorted and blurred.
The special stone slabs under their feet could not withstand such a powerful Chakra colliding with each other and burst into pieces.
Stones of all sizes were shot out like shrapnel, violently hitting the light wall of Barrier, causing waves of ripples.
Kurobei eyes widened, this old man... so strong Chakra!
Moreover, his offensive seemed to have been broken down.
He originally wanted to hit 'Sword Cannon' at zero range. From such a close distance, if he took this move head-on, you can imagine the pressure he endured.
But Raizo didn't give him this chance at all, and accurately found the weak spot where Chakra had compressed and condensed on his Samurai knife, and quickly cut it off, causing his 'Sword Cannon' to be released in an incomplete form.
This kind of Swordsmanship and Kurobei are so exquisite that every attack hits the weak point directly, and it feels like you are receiving guidance from others.
My own Swordsmanship and Chakra have no advantage at all.
Even so, Kurobei did not give up and was still full of confidence.
There is no other reason. As a young man, he has better physical strength and physical fitness.
And the old man Raizo's body is like a candle in the wind, he has the advantage!
