Hongo Taikou had participated in several Sword Dao tournaments and was quite experienced.
In this second round, he originally intended to first explore Uesugi Sakura's style and then counter the moves.
But before he could think further, Uesugi Sakura attacked right after facing him.
"Attacking first?"
Hongo Taikou raised his hand to parry, Uesugi Sakura's strength was surprisingly immense, despite being taller than him by a head, nearly 2 meters tall, he was still being pushed back.
The opponent was clever, even with considerable strength, he chose not to attack head-on; his swings tilted more to the left, attacking from the side, reducing risk while trapping his opponent's sword.
Hongo Taikou understood.
This was one of the Three Killings Technique in Sword Dao, the Kill Sword.
