Sovereign Dominion Official Livestream Room.
The public chat was flooded with comments.
"Holy crap! Why is the Exalted Emperor dressed as Demon Blade Musashi?"
"Brother, are you blind? That Demon Blade Musashi is different in height from the Exalted Emperor, it's definitely not the Exalted Emperor."
"They look like cosplayers who attended the Kyoto Comic Con. Did they see Sovereign Dominion stream and immediately come to help Exalted Emperor?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but the opponent is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, a hundred swordsmen. Can Demon Blade Musashi defeat them?"
Does anyone know who Demon Blade Musashi is?
"He's willing to risk his life to help Exalted Emperor. I'll take a gamble; he must have an extraordinary relationship with Exalted Emperor, just like the three big shots, Lord Phoenix Mountain Lord Silver Dragon. He might even know Exalted Emperor in real life!"
Jiangcheng, Huating Residential Complex.
Huyan Ya exclaimed with delight, " Sui Bao, your QQ status update worked! Friends attending the Kyoto Comic Con, please lend a hand!"
"Someone actually went to help my brother." Jiang Sui was shocked. She had only tried it as a last resort, but it actually worked. "But why does he look so familiar?"
"Does he/she look familiar?" Huyan Ya asked half-jokingly. "Maybe he/she is one of your close QQ friends."
Are they close QQ friends?
Jiang Sui frowned. She had 5,000 friends on QQ, most of whom were fans of the game King of Glory and she got along well with them. But when it came to her best QQ friend, her best friend Huyan Ya was the one.
The second one is, " Kanzaki Sakurazō ".
" Kanzaki Sakurazō?" Huyan Ya changed instantly. "Don't joke around, okay, Sui Bao? That sissy, the spineless Kanzaki Sakurazō, how could she possibly impersonate Demon Blade Musashi to help Brother Hang?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Jiang Sui shook her head, dismissing this unrealistic idea. Kanzaki Sakurazō timid by nature, and her psychological identity was female, meaning she was a "transgender girl" who was male in gender but female in psychology.
When she first encountered Kanzaki Sakurazō in the game, she suspected that he was a boy, but after spending a long time with him, she realized that his thinking, behavior, and temperament were indeed those of a transgender person.
It's like a woman's soul being reincarnated into a man's body.
"But whoever Demon Blade Musashi is," Jiang Sui thought to herself, watching the live stream, "I hope he can defeat the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons and clear the way for my brother to reach the Consulate General!"
Kanzaki Sakurazō terrified.
The red-faced, long-nosed man before me wielded an extremely long katana, looking fierce and menacing. He was clearly from Changsha. Given the man's fifth-dan level in kendo, could I, an eighth-dan kendo practitioner, possibly defeat him?
Kanzaki Sakurazō recalled that during his kendo exams, his examiner was the headmaster of the Niten Ichi-ryū Sword School school. Each time, the examiner would simply glance at him and skip the exam process, bestowing upon him a kendo honorary title.
Until the eighth-dan kendo exam, the headmaster, for the first time ever, asked him a question, "Young Master Yingzang, what is the meaning of the sword?"
He stammered and couldn't answer, because practicing swordsmanship was a family requirement, and he was merely following orders.
However, the headmaster still awarded him the title of 8th Dan in Kendo, saying, "Once you understand the meaning of the sword, you will become the first person in all of Japan to achieve the honorary 9th Dan, following in the Niten Ichi-ryū Ichi-ryu, the Sword Saint!"
"Being distracted during a battle is a cardinal sin in warfare!"
The wind howled overhead, followed by a sinister laugh, " Ōdachi-ryū, Third Form: Tachi Drop!"
Clang! The extra-long katana cleaved through the ground, splashing water everywhere. The Great Tengu looked up in surprise and said, "Your reaction time is pretty fast!"
Kanzaki Sakurazō maintained his drawn sword stance, adjusted his breathing, and said, " Niten Ichi-ryū, Second Form: Godspeed."
"Let's try this move again." The Great Tengu's sword created a curtain of water as it charged forward with lightning speed, slashing diagonally with its extra-long katana. " Ōdachi-ryū, Fifth Form: Kesa Diagonal Slash!"
"Second Form of the Niten Ichi-ryū: Godspeed."
Kanzaki Sakurazō's figure suddenly vanished.
"Let's try this move again! Ōdachi-ryū, Sixth Form: Nodachi!"
"Second Form of the Niten Ichi-ryū: Godspeed."
"You absolutely cannot dodge this move. Ōdachi-ryū, Eighth Form: Thrust!"
"Second Form of the Niten Ichi-ryū: Godspeed."
"Fine! You forced me to unleash my ultimate move, Ōdachi-ryū Ninth Form, Thunderclap Slash!"
"Second Form of the Niten Ichi-ryū: Godspeed."
"Fuck you!" The Great Tengu, panting heavily, leaned on his katana and cursed, "Is that all you know?"
I know two moves.
Kanzaki Sakurazō Niten Ichi-ryū ten forms, and although he practiced all ten, he had only mastered the two basic forms in ten years: one was the second form, Godspeed, and the other was...
"The first move of the Niten Ichi-ryū: Empty Clarity Slash!"
Kanzaki Sakurazō Godspeed dodged behind the Great Tengu, drew his sword, reversed the blade, and swung it down with tremendous force.
"Holy crap?"
The Great Tengu suffered a severe blow to his back, staggering forward a few steps, his face contorted in pain, grimacing, "You bastard, you actually launched a sneak attack?"
Sensing the approaching danger, Kanzaki Sakurazō Godspeed retreated, a heavy naginata crashing to the ground, splashing water everywhere.
"Go back, Great Tengu," Xue Ji bent down and picked up her naginata. "Although this person only knows the basic sword techniques of Niten Ichi-ryū Ichi-ryu, he has mastered them to perfection. You are no match for him."
The Great Tengu looked unwilling, "Give me a little more time, and I'll definitely be able to take him down!"
Xue Ji glanced sideways and said, "This is His Highness's order."
Despite his reluctance, the Great Tengu had no choice but to obey. "Then be careful of Xue Ji. This girl is very strange. She claims to be an eighth-dan swordsman, and she's very likely pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
"No one understands the sword stance of an eighth-dan kendo master better than me, after all, I've always been by His Highness's side," Xue Ji said casually. "His actual skill level is only around a second-dan kendo master, a beginner's level."
"A beginner?" Great Tengu was slightly taken aback. The opponent's faint sword aura was indeed similar to that of a beginner. "Then why was he able to treat me like a dog?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Xue Ji stared at Demon Blade Musashi, "His basic sword techniques are superb, although he's only at the second dan level, but with the help of his basic sword techniques, he's comparable to a sixth dan in swordsmanship."
The Great Tengu's expression changed slightly. "Then you can't beat him?"
Xue Ji is a swordswoman of the same skill level as Zashiki, but only has a sixth-dan rank in swordsmanship.
Xue Ji twisted her naginata. "Do you know why I, a sixth-dan kendo instructor, can be evenly Zashiki with Zashiki, a seventh-dan kendo master?"
The Great Tengu asked suspiciously, "Why?"
Xue Ji yanked her naginata with both hands, and the 1.8-meter-long handle instantly transformed into a 3-meter-long blade. "Because my naginata technique is naturally effective against close-quarters dual-wielding attacks. You understand the principle of 'an inch longer, an inch stronger'?"
Great Tengu shuddered violently. He knew that once Xue Ji's naginata grew longer, it meant she was about to unleash a massacre.
