Chapter 26: Take it without a knife
Chapter 26: Take it without a knife
Hearing the judge's call, Qin Huai did not waste any time. He jumped onto the stage and his eyes followed the Yingzhou warriors coming up from the other side.
Seeing the two people had arrived, the judge was about to draw lots to decide the competition items, but he heard Yagyu Takizo suddenly say.
"Shenzhou warrior, I can't beat you with my bare hands. But do you dare to compete with Yagyu Tengu in a sword fight?"
“I don’t want to fight with the beast. It would be a waste if I get bitten.
But if you want to play with swords and don’t get your hands dirty, that’s fine.”
Seeing that Qin Huai agreed and had no objection, the judge raised a sign with the words "weapons" on it and signaled to the people around him.
"We must let that bastard know how powerful our Yingzhou swordsmanship is!" (Yingzhou dialect)
"He will definitely submit to Lord Yagyu's Shinkage Ryu!" (Yingzhou language)
Even though they witnessed Sato's miserable condition a few days ago, these Yingzhou ronin still refused to repent and continued to wish that Yagyu Takizo could bring victory back to Yingzhou.
On the ring, seeing that Yagyu Takizo did not draw his sword immediately after taking it, Qin Huai ignored him.
Broken Cloud was unsheathed, Qin Huai looked along the blade towards Yagyu Takizo and said, "Eight Extremes, Qin Huai."
When Yagyu Takizo heard Qin Huai introduce himself, he also bowed and said in an inaudible voice, "Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, Yagyu Takizo."
Before he finished speaking, he held the knife in one hand and exerted force with both legs.
There was a "squeak" sound, and the sound of feet rubbing against the ring was heard, and his figure rushed towards Qin Huai like a swift leopard.
They also wanted to take advantage of the moment when their opponent couldn't hear clearly and bent forward unconsciously to attack them. These little bastards really have poor martial ethics.
Qin Huai felt emotional in his heart, but his hands did not stop. He gently raised the blade, and the autumn-water-like blade drew an arc and cut towards the elbow of the Yingzhou warrior.
Yagyu Takizo did not dodge either. He raised his right hand along the handle of the knife, and the blade accelerated instantly, changing from chopping to knocking, and pulled Suiyun to the left. The man accelerated again like a swift peregrine falcon, and the tip of the knife was facing Qin Huai's forehead!
"Hi!"
Yagyu Takizo was a little excited.
Seeing the dangerous situation, Qin Huai made a prompt decision, leaned back, and dodged the fatal thrust of Yagyu's blade with a metal bridge.
With a flip of his wrist, the Broken Cloud rolled back, and the tip of the knife stabbed into Yagyu Takizo's lower abdomen.
"Oops!"
Seeing that Qin Huai was forced into such a situation in just one round, A Ge hurriedly climbed onto the railing and looked at the ring anxiously.
Seeing that his attack was effective, Yagyu Takizo was delighted. He quickly moved aside to avoid the sword of Suiyun that was stabbing at his abdomen. He waited until Suiyun's blade was halfway across his body before he swung his sword again and cut Qin Huai's neck with one blow, not giving him any chance to rise again.
But before he could let the Broken Cloud Blade pass, he heard a gust of wind behind his ear!
Nani? !
Without any extra thought, Yagyu Takizo trusted in the muscle memory he had developed over the past decade, and in a hurry, he relied on his amazing waist and leg skills to jump up and dodge Qin Huai's heavy leg.
Although it avoided the situation where the spine dragon was hit hard, it allowed Qin Huai to stand up and recover.
Li Shuwen could see clearly from Qin Huai's side. Qin Huai's body was like an iron bridge. His right hand stabbed forward with Shattered Cloud, but his left leg took advantage of Liu Sheng's sideways movement and, through the blind spot of his vision, he kicked Liu Sheng in the waist with a sinister and poisonous kick.
"Not bad, you can use your brain."
Yagyu was able to jump to dodge Qin Huai's kick, but he couldn't avoid Suiyun, which was more than one meter long!
Seeing the broken cloud piercing his heart, Liu Sheng hurriedly twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, and the knife turned with his body, deflecting Qin Huai's knife.
Feeling the burning pain on his chest after being brushed by the broken clouds, Liu Sheng put away his smile and stared at Qin Huai coldly.
He watched as the warrior in front of him stopped attacking and instead slowly circled around him.
Qin Huai was not in a hurry either. Just when he was about to change his hand and wield the knife to defeat the enemy.
Yagyu turned around and rushed towards him again! This time, his speed was even faster than before!
Qin Huai tapped the ground lightly with his toes, exerted a little force with the arch of his foot, stretched his wrist forward and shook it, and the broken cloud drew a beautiful arc and cut straight into Liu Sheng's neck.
Yagyu was holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and he held the sword horizontally against Qin Huai's Broken Clouds, and he kept rushing forward without stopping!
He loosened his hands, and his arms passed over the Broken Cloud Blade like lightning to pinch Qin Huai's wrist, and his right foot kicked Qin Huai's crotch.
But it was the attention of the one who was fighting without a knife!
"Bang" and "Thump" the crisp sounds of the blade falling to the ground were soon covered by the muffled sound of flesh and blood hitting the ground.
"it is good!"
"It's still our top star in Tianjin!"
"Baji is invincible!" The people of Tianjin were all delighted to see Qin Huai win the game cleanly.
"This person is interesting!" Romanov looked at Qin Huai on the field, licked his lips and said with interest.
"How could Lord Yagyu lose?" The Yingzhou ronin sat on the ground as if their energy had been drained out.
"This guy is a real talent." Qian Hua said slowly as he looked at Qin Huai standing quietly on the stage.
Off the stage, looking at the precious sword with elm and sparrow painted on it beside his feet, Qin Huai wiped the broken cloud in his hand and spoke to the unconscious Yingzhou warrior on the other side of the stage, not caring whether Yagyu Takizo could hear him or not.
"If we want to fight with swords, then we have to fight with swords. Why do we have to use something without a sword?
Since you like bare-handed fighting so much, why don't you just fight with fists and feet?"
Seeing Liu Sheng fainted, Master Huang hurriedly brought his apprentice up to check his injuries.
"He took a strong elbow from me, and he was lucky to be able to stand up after waking up."
After hearing Qin Huai's reply, Master Huang made a judgment in his mind and retreated with his apprentice.
"That's all for today!"
After Qin Huai left the stage and heard the judges announce on the stage that today's martial arts performance was over, the remaining six people were more or less relieved. After all, with these two fights as examples, even a fool could see how dangerous it was.
The opponents this time are all top-level warriors. The more prepared you are, the more confident you will be. It is naturally better to go into battle one day later.
In the evening, Yingzhou Embassy
Miyamoto Kazuya saw that Yagyu Takizo, who was pale and unable to get up, had woken up and hurriedly tried to comfort him.
"Yagyu-kun, although you died during the martial arts performance and were seriously injured, it doesn't matter. I believe Shinji will carry your ambition and make Yingzhou great again!"
Listening to Miyamoto Kazuya's comfort, Yagyu Takizo seemed to have let go of something and fainted again.
Under the moon, Miyamoto Kazuya stroked the famous sword of Yagyu and murmured,
"It's a really good sword. Unfortunately, it's too good. It's better than Shinji's."

Tianjin, Zhili Governor-General's Office
Baturu was still eating, and at the same time listening to Jin Er beside him reporting information about the opponent.
"Master Baturu, we have mobilized all our spies in the South Seas. We only know that this is a wild way out of the mountains. It should not pose much threat to you."
"That's good. I hope it's not another Romanov. Otherwise, the court will lose face. I'll be fine, but you will definitely be doomed."
Hearing Baturu's teasing, Jin Er felt a little uneasy and had to quickly urge the kitchen to serve the food.

Ruyi Temple, Boxing House
"Master, you will be on stage tomorrow. Do you know the big brother who is doing Tai Chi?"
"I don't really know that guy, but I met his father once a few years ago."
"Then isn't it a bad idea for you to bully young people by relying on your age?"
Listening to the voice gradually becoming smaller, Qian Hua touched Ah Wen's shoulder and replied with a smile,
"Master, please hold back. The fight ahead will be dangerous. Let me give the young man some advice and send him home.
It would be totally unworthy if I died under the fists of those fierce men."
"I knew that Master was kind-hearted."
"Okay, go to bed early. Master will teach you something interesting tomorrow."
"Ok!"
