Ouch!
When the last warrior, his face bruised and swollen like a pig's head, fell off the stage, all the spectators around were stunned.
Even when six Initial-Dan Swordmaster of the Ancient Sword Dao joined forces, they still couldn't defeat the sword master of the Kurosawa Sword Dao, and they couldn't even force him to draw his sword.
The difference is just too big!
Everyone was shocked, but little did they know that the six warriors who had been knocked off the stage were even more shocked and distressed.
After their initial combined Iaido Slash failed, they opted for close combat. However, instead of gaining any advantage, they became even more passive, eventually finding themselves mutually restraining each other, which greatly distressed them.
What they found most unacceptable was that not only could they not force Wang Hao to draw the Kurosawa Divine Sword Kurosawa Sword.
How could they possibly accept such a defeat?
"What exquisite Sword Dao techniques!"
The Third Hokage and others on the main stage were equally shocked, stunned by the extremely gorgeous Sword Dao skills displayed by Wang Hao.
This is actually because this world has natural energy, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Most of the cultivators' moves are wide and sweeping, and even the martial arts practitioners' training is aimed at sword energy.
This Body Refinement does indeed produce incredibly flashy and exaggerated attack power, capable of unleashing sword strikes that can split mountains and cleave seas, but it falls short in terms of subtle techniques.
While the Smiling Proud Wanderer World at the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it is precisely this disadvantage that allows cultivators to have the mind and time to ponder exquisite techniques, striving to bring their strength to its maximum limit, or even beyond.
As a man who inherited the martial arts tradition of the entire Smiling Proud Wanderer World and elevated it to several levels, Wang Hao's skills were naturally at their peak.
So, without moving a muscle, he defeated all six men one by one with just one arm holding the sword sheath.
The outcome of this battle left the many schools of the New Sword Dao of the Land of Iron feeling the worst.
It wasn't just Wang Hao's monstrous strength that was remarkable, but also the six young Swordmaster of the Ancient Sword Dao. They were completely unaware that the Ancient Sword Dao had unknowingly cultivated six Initial-Dan Swordmaster.
Even if they exhausted all their resources during this period, their New Sword Dao could only cultivate five Initial-Dan Swordmaster.
This disparity was difficult for them, who considered themselves the future warriors of the Land of Iron, to accept.
" Mifune..."
A New Sword Dao Initial-Dan Swordmaster approached Mifune with a gloomy expression, but before he could finish speaking, Mifune waved his hand to interrupt him.
"No need to say anything more, I have my own pride!"
Mifune naturally understood what the other party was trying to say; they clearly wanted them to join forces against Wang Hao, but this was not the kind of battle he desired.
Without saying anything more, Mifune, the strongest of the new generation of New Sword Dao, leaped onto the stage with his sword, staring intently at Wang Hao in front of him.
"You are strong! However, the Ancient Sword Dao is destined to decline, and you alone cannot save it. Only our New Sword Dao is the future of the samurai. I will never lose this battle!"
He acknowledged that Wang Hao was very strong, but he also had his own principles; for the future of the warriors of the Land of Iron, he would definitely win.
Draw your sword and show me your so-called future!
Without further ado, Wang Hao signaled to the other side that they could begin the battle.
"Aren't you going to draw your sword?"
Mifune frowned, displeased.
He was no match for those small fry; this guy wasn't even going to draw his sword in front of him, which was a Mo Da humiliation for him.
This sword strike was not meant for you!
Wang Hao shook his head slightly and glanced sideways at Admiral Amane sitting on the main platform.
"I hope you can save that sword for that moment!"
His expression turned cold, Mifune stopped talking nonsense. He drew his long sword from his waist and unleashed a powerful sword aura with an Iaido Slash, which surged toward Wang Hao like a raging storm.
That wasn't all. After unleashing this attack, Mifune charged forward, followed closely by a surge of sword energy, clearly preparing for close combat with Wang Hao.
He also knew that the Iaido Slash energy could not harm Wang Hao, and although he had cultivated Chakra, he had not learned Ninjutsu, so he could not use various Ninjutsu to strike his opponent from a distance like a ninja.
If you want to fight, the only option is to charge in and engage in close combat.
Facing the Mifune rushing towards him, Wang Hao did not dare to be careless.
After all, this is a mid-level peak Swordmaster, and it seems that he may break through to the High-Dan Swordmaster realm at any time. Facing such an opponent, it would take some effort to defeat him without drawing the Kurosawa Divine Sword.
The scabbard precisely struck a point of force on the side of Mifune's longsword, drawing it aside, and then the scabbard struck Mifune's chest.
Although the scabbard of the Kurosawa Divine Sword is good, it is made of wood after all. If it is struck by a swordsman of Mifune's Sword Dao, it will inevitably shatter.
Therefore, you can only strike the side of the blade to avoid its sharpness, which requires extremely high skill.
Having narrowly avoided the scabbard aimed at his chest, Mifune twisted his body and swung his longsword at Wang Hao once more.
The battle scene then mirrored the earlier fight between Wang Hao and the six Swordmaster. Wang Hao, wielding his sword sheath, used the principles of Taiji to constantly counter Mifune's attacks, and then attacked in turn, forcing Mifune to change his offensive strategy time and time again.
This continuous offensive was extremely taxing on him; soon sweat beaded on his Mifune, and his breathing became rapid.
However, the attacks from his subordinates did not slow down or weaken in the slightest; on the contrary, they became even stronger, and the Chakra concentrated on the blades became increasingly sharp, transforming into a higher level.
Is this the beginning of a breakthrough?
Wang Hao was surprised, but he didn't have the narrow-mindedness to interrupt the other party's sudden enlightenment. Instead, he controlled the intensity of his own attack to assist Mifune in breaking through.
This scene was witnessed by the sword masters of all the Sword Dao styles in the surrounding Land of Iron, who all nodded in approval. Even the sword masters of the New Sword Dao cast grateful glances their way.
Mifune is the most outstanding talent of their New Sword Dao, and is recognized as the future leader of New Sword Dao. Naturally, they hope that Mifune can become stronger and stronger.
Unfortunately, their New Sword Dao is ultimately weak in foundation and cannot compare with those Ancient Sword Dao schools. It is already the limit that they can push Mifune to the peak of the Middle-Dan Swordmaster. As for High-Dan Swordmaster like Admiral Amane, that depends on fate.
With good luck, you might break through after a decade or so of hard work; with bad luck, you might be stuck at that level for your entire life.
They were simply overjoyed that Mifune was about to break through so quickly.
Wang Hao's display of courage and determination impressed them greatly; he truly deserved to be called the most talented warrior in a thousand years!
The people of the Land of Iron were gratified and excited, but the Five Kage looked quite grim.
The appearance of one monstrous talent, Wang Hao, was already enough for them to handle, and now another one Mifune, is about to appear.
Although the opponent is not as good as Wang Hao, he is still comparable to Admiral Amane.
Having these two High-Dan Swordmaster guarding the Land of Iron in the future would pose a significant threat to the five great ninja villages.
Unfortunately, with Admiral Amane in charge, they are unable to intervene. Otherwise, even if they were to face this powerful figure who once rivaled the First Hokage in his youth, they might not be able to withstand his wrath, even if they were Kage Level experts.
It seems we'll have to take a longer-term approach!
The Five Kage exchanged a knowing glance and nodded to each other, thus reaching a preliminary agreement.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, Mifune's momentum reached an unprecedented peak. He sheathed his long sword, assumed a stable horse stance, and adopted a stance for Iaido Slash. Then, he drew his sword and unleashed a sword aura several times stronger than his initial strike.
The entire arena was forcibly cleaved in two, forming a ravine hundreds of meters long and several meters wide, almost splitting the arena in two.
It's a pity that it was only about to break in two; a tiny bit remained at the end.
At the end of the ravine, Wang Hao used the hilt of the Kurosawa Divine Sword to block the rampaging sword energy, actually managing to withstand it.
"I've lost, thank you!"
Mifune, having regained his senses, watched this scene with mixed feelings. He took one last deep look at Wang Hao, then turned and jumped off the stage.
He is indeed inferior to Wang Hao, even after breaking through to the High-Dan Swordmaster, he is still far inferior.
Even the strongest Iaido Slash just now failed to force the opponent to draw their divine sword; continuing the fight would be pointless.
Most importantly, he admired the magnanimity shown by the other party. Putting himself in their shoes, he realized that he might not have been so accommodating.
In this respect, he is far inferior!
He lost this battle wholeheartedly!
"The sword is named Kurosawa, its blade is 1.63 meters long, and it weighs 108 jin (approximately 54 kg). It was the sword of Great Swordmaster from ancient times!"
Without pausing, Wang Hao raised his head and looked at Admiral Amane, who was sitting on the main platform, and loudly proclaimed his declaration of war.
On the main platform, Admiral Amane appeared extremely solemn. He lifted his cloak to reveal his exquisite armor, and rose to accept the longsword handed to him by the sword attendant.
This is a true longsword, not the samurai sword type Land of Iron. Like the Kusanagi Sword, it is a rare double-edged longsword.
Furthermore, Admiral Amane was also tall, standing at 2.3 meters, only slightly shorter than Wang Hao. His longsword, however, reached an astonishing two meters, 20 centimeters longer than the Kurosawa Divine Sword in Wang Hao's hand.
Holding the divine sword, he slowly stepped forward. With each step, a strand of black hair would appear in Amane 'Admiral snow-white hair, and a wrinkle on his face would diminish.
When he arrived on the arena, he was no longer the frail man he had been before; he was now a proper middle-aged warrior.
This is the supreme elixir passed down in the Land of Iron, capable of stimulating human potential and restoring the body to its peak condition in a short time.
"The sword is named Masamune, with a blade length of 1.79 meters and a net weight of 236 kilograms. It is the sword of the ancient Sword Saint Masamune and is one of the Kusanagi Sword."
Admiral Amane also mimicked Wang Hao's opening words and introduced the Masamune Divine Sword in his hand.
The sound of the ancient Sword Saint's sword startled everyone present. It was the first time they had ever heard that Amane Admiral's sword was actually inherited from an ancient Sword Saint saint.
You must know that he was a legendary Sword Saint, a supreme being comparable to gods and demons!
"Please!"
"Please!"
Neither of them exchanged a word. They faced each other across a chasm that almost separated the entire arena, both assuming the stance for Iaido Slash ).
Kurosawa Sword Dao's strongest killing move is the Iaido Slash, and coincidentally, Amane Admiral's Heart Moon Style Sword Dao is also most skilled in Iaido Slash. What follows is a clash between the two strongest Iaido Slash.
"Clang!"
Almost simultaneously, they drew their swords, and two mighty sword energies, as powerful as natural Scourge, clashed together, thus stalemating each other.
The powerful Sword Force aura it displayed caused all the onlookers to gasp for breath, and some of the weaker ones were even forced to the ground and fell unconscious.
Neither of them held back in this attack; Admiral Amane's sword strike was powerful, and Wang Hao's was no less formidable.
The Sword Force accumulated within the Kurosawa Divine Sword for a full month is not something anyone can withstand, and the remaining spirituality within it has also been fully awakened, enhancing the sword energy in a way that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
