Kuri, at the edge of the riverside dock. After Sephiroth took action and shocked five bandits, the two men stopped involuntarily, each slowly pulling away from the other and casting their gazes on him. Asura Doji, armed with a long sword, stared at the five fallen men, and a hint of a terrified expression appeared on his face. Kozuki Oden once used a similar power. This man is not simple!
Since Asura Doji had never left Wano Country and had limited learning, he did not know what Conqueror's Haki was, all he knew was that Oden also possessed this mysterious power.
"Boy, who are you? List yourself!"
Asura Doji, with a serious expression and tense muscles all over his body, held a knife in both hands and aimed it at the mysterious black-haired youth in front of him.
"Who am I?"
Sephiroth's words were slightly prolonged, and after thinking about his pseudonym, he slowly spoke, "I am Miyamoto Musashi!"
Hearing this, Asura Doji couldn't help but frown, he had never heard of this figure at all before. Looking at his face, he seemed to be a little immature, but because he had a little beard, he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he seemed to be twenty or thirty years old. It was difficult to judge his age at all.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter who you are! You will all die here today!"
Asura Doji spat fiercely on the ground. After saying that, he stepped hard on the ground! In an instant, his figure shot toward the black-haired youth like an arrow from a string.
The next moment.
Clang!
The two men clashed so hard with their long swords in their hands that sparks flew and they made a sound of gold and iron. What a terrifying strength this person has! Asura Doji, who was more than five meters tall, stared at the black-haired youth who was only more than two meters tall. He couldn't help but be secretly horrified. In terms of strength, the opponent was faintly half better than him, and the long sword that was falling down was also being attacked by the opponent. It was slowly lifted.
Boom!
A surging black Armament Haki power suddenly burst out of Sephiroth, and it was transmitted to the Hades Fire Sword, venting from the sword, trying to lift Asura Doji's whole body away! Seeing this situation, Asura Doji immediately gritted his teeth, and also released his Armament Haki, competing with his opponent.
Click! Click!
Under the wanton catharsis of the two men's powerful Armament Haki, with the two men as the center, inches of chipping and collapse appeared on the ground in an instant. In an instant, a pit appeared on the ground. Caught by the strong air wave generated by the dominant collision between the two, gravel kept splashing to all sides, leaving everyone around them bruised and bruised.
Damn it! Is this guy's Ryuo endless? If I continue to compete, I will be weak in succession! The look in Asura Doji's eyes was inexplicable, and he decided not to confront him directly, and immediately retreated and pulled away.
Uh-huh!
A diagonal line more than fifty meters long, mixed with a blazing red Ryuo, flew from the Hades Fire Sword and shot toward a rocky mountain in the distance. With a "boom" roar, flames soared into the sky, gravel splattered, and the ground shook slightly. A mountain hundreds of meters tall was blown to the ground by the sword energy.
Seeing this scene, the more than five hundred people present showed dumbfounded expressions on their faces. What a terrifying move!?
Asura Doji forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart. Seeing that he couldn't get any benefit and the other person was not an easy character to mess with, he couldn't help but have a little intention to quit in his heart.
"Your Excellency, well done! I am full of admiration for Shutenmaru! Why don't you just leave and we'll pretend we haven't met today?"
Hearing this, Sephiroth immediately sneered and said in a contemptuous tone, "You stupid pen-wielding man! You were the one who wanted to kill me, and you were the one who wanted to sue for peace just now. You have the final say in everything, who do you think you are? Are you mentally ill? Or is there something missing in your head? Could it be that you've been with Kozuki Oden for a long time, and you've also been turned into a fool by him, right?"
"You can scold me, but you dare to insult Kozuki Oden!? Unforgivable!!!"
Hearing this, Asura Doji suddenly had a ferocious face and a murderous look in his eyes, and anger ignited in his heart. Kozuki Oden was the person he admired most in his life, and the king he chose to be loyal to, and he would never allow anyone else to tarnish his prestige.
"Hah!" Sephiroth sneered, not expecting Asura Doji to have such a bad mindset that he broke the defense right after running away with his mouth. Even if a man like this touches the foreseeing knowledge of the future, with this hot-tempered and explosive mentality, it is impossible to show it. He felt that the other party might have foreseen the future... He was purely being too considerate!
Immediately, he waved the Hades Fire Sword in his hand and moved to lift it up.
"Kong Ming Zhan!"
Uh-huh!
A sword energy slash, constructed from flames, suddenly rose to the ground and formed a wall of fire, which, at a high speed, swept toward Asura Doji in the distance. As the sword energy that came from the scorching heat passed through the ground, so that a blackened mark was left on it. After sensing the terrifying power contained in the flame sword energy, Asura Doji did not dare to take it! He could only quickly retreat to the side and swing a blue flying slash behind him, attacking Sephiroth.
In response, Sephiroth only raised the Hades Fire Sword, which had flames wrapped around the blade, and at will swung a flaming slash to meet it.
Boom!
The orange-red flame collided with the blue flying slash, and in an instant a violent explosion occurred in the air, blowing the ground into a pit with a diameter of more than five meters. The bandits and samurai around them, when they saw the battle that the two had just started to fight, fled far away very consciously, and the one-eyed samurai who was lying in a pool of blood was also carried down by his own men, starting emergency bandaging treatment.
"Um!... Next time you need to attach a little Haki to the attack, the pure compressed flame, its power is still a little unsatisfactory." Sephiroth muttered softly.
"Oden Two-Sword Style: Totsuka no Tsurugi!"
Asura Doji's feet began to rush forward at a high speed on the ground. His powerful Armament Haki quickly wrapped around the sword, and his whole momentum began to rise steadily! Through a few fights, he also tentatively understood that with the current situation, it was not realistic to continue fighting at a distance. The opponent could continue to suppress him with the move of shooting fire attacks. Only in close combat could he find a chance for a decisive victory!
Iai Style: Quick Slash!
The corner of Sephiroth's mouth rose slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He classified the Hades Fire Sword into its sheath, and with a rapid body shape, performed a six-style shaving to accelerate it. A dark Armament Haki wrapped around his right hand that was attached to the sword hilt.
When the two men were approximated, he pulled out the Hades Fire Sword so violently that he collided with the long sword in Asura Doji's hand.
Clang!
The high hands of both sides were freely ventilated, and dark red lightning and pink petals intertwined in the air, causing the ground to tremble, gravel to splash, and smoke to rise! The samurai and bandits who were hiding around, seeing the earth-shattering battle situation between the two, could not help but show a look of horror.
More than ten minutes passed unconsciously. The battle between the two also gradually entered a fierce stage, with you coming and going, the long swords constantly crashing into each other, and sparks flying.
However, Asura Doji found three serious problems. First, the black-haired youth's swordsmanship skills were so incredible that he unconsciously switched from offensive to defensive and fell into a state of being suppressed. The black-haired youth seemed to have foreseen every move and change he made in advance. Often when he first started to attack hard, he would directly interfere with his movements, making him feel more and more at a disadvantage as he fought.
Second, in the process of fighting him, the dark-haired youth only used his right hand, and his left hand did nothing. The second long sword at his waist was never drawn, and it was obvious that he was not trying his best.
Third, the blade of the long sword in his hand was actually cut through a gap by the opponent's blade during the high-intensity cutting process. He was clearly attached to Ryuo! It stands to reason that the blade of the long sword in his hand should have been greatly enhanced in strength.
Clang!
The swords of the two long swords, once again collided together, and once again stuttered a ball of sparks, and Asura Doji's long sword, once again, was cut through a gap. Feeling the scorching temperature coming from the opponent's fiery red long sword, he seemed to have found something!
That's right, the temperature!
The opponent's long sword is always in a state of high temperature, and the quality of his long sword is far superior to mine! Therefore, even if my sword is entangled with dominant power, the opponent will still be able to cut my sword into a curl when the blade collides.
With this thought, the fighting spirit in Asura Doji's mind gradually faded, and instead he came up with the idea of escaping. If he couldn't fight, he couldn't fight, there was no reason why he should die in vain! He still had to wait twenty years for the return of the Kozuki family to assist in the establishment of Wano Country!
Uh-huh!
Taking advantage of Asura Doji's frustrated fighting spirit and a little distraction, Sephiroth suddenly changed to holding the sword in both hands. He cut at a very tricky angle and slashed at the weak point of the former's strength.
Clang!
In Asura Doji's horrified eyes, the long sword in his hand was cut directly by Sephiroth, dividing it into two and breaking it into two nodes. Under this powerful bombing, the hilt of the sword in his hand was blown away. Immediately after, when Asura Doji couldn't retreat, the fiery red long sword, with its amazing heat, directly cut his body, slashing from his right shoulder, and extending to his left waist. His wounds, under the influence of the heat, instantly turned into a coke, and rose with plumes of orange-red flame.
In the process, Asura Doji had desperately mobilized Ryuo to strengthen his defense, but he still couldn't stop the sword that carried scorching heat.
"AAAAAAAH!"
The extreme pain that came from his body made Asura Doji scream loudly and lose consciousness. Immediately after, he rolled his eyes and fainted, "Pfft!" At one point, he fell heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"The one who wants to challenge. Who else?"
Sephiroth, armed with a fiery red long sword, glanced indifferently at all in attendance, terrifying the bandits with shaking eyes and cold sweat soaking their bodies.
"Boss Shutenmaru was actually killed!"
"How is this possible!?"
"Just kidding! The boss is the strongest of the Nine Red Scabbards!"
In the midst of the noise, I don't know who shouted "Run!", the more than two hundred bandits suddenly reacted in shock and amazement, turned around, started running wildly, and fled everywhere. The anxious look seemed to make me wish I could grow two more legs so I could run faster!
"Invincibility is also a touch of sadness!"
Sephiroth shook his head with a little disappointment, put away the idea of continuing to try the sword on someone, put the sword into its sheath, and turned away.
I don't know what kind of trouble this Asura Doji has caused! When he was at a disadvantage, he still hesitated and was hesitant, which distracted him so much that he was directly hit hard by him! This really brings Sephiroth to the extreme! He was also thinking of using this battle to get a good run-in with the Hades Fire Sword so that he could improve his control over the sword.
"Your Excellency Miyamoto! Please wait!"
A slightly weak voice entered his ears, and a confused expression appeared on his face, looking in the direction of the voice. He saw the one-eyed samurai with an open skirt and bandages on his upper body. With the help of his men, he slowly stood up and bowed slightly to him.
"Kojiro, thank you so much for your assistance... You have just defeated Asura Doji, one of the Nine Red Scabbards. You just have to go to the Flower Capital and hand him over to your lord, the general, who is sure to have a great reward! After all, His Excellency once issued a bounty a few years ago. Anyone who captures a remnant of the Kozuki family will be rewarded with five hundred gold."
After hearing this, Sephiroth immediately glanced at Asura Doji, who was lying on the ground, and found that the other man's chest was still slightly undulating. This guy's life is really not too hard!
