Samurai of the Takeda Family

Li Xiao carefully looked at the opponent who challenged him, and saw that he was about thirty years old, with two beards on his lips, sharp eyes, and his left hand was gently holding the hilt of the samurai sword at his waist.

"Swordsman." The word suddenly flashed in Li Xiao's mind. In the Warring States Period of Japan, just like the history created by samurai eager to stand out, the swordsman is also one of the legends of this era. Ueizumi Nobuzuna, Miyamoto Musashi , Sasaki Kojiro's series of names are full of enthusiasm.

　　 It's just that Li Xiao didn't expect that this scene actually fell to his own head today, and he became the one being challenged. No matter where it is, it would be embarrassing to challenge you, if you avoid the battle by yourself, especially Li Xiao still bears the name of Takeda Katsurai's spearmanship teacher.

　　Well, if you want to fight, you need to know the name of the opponent. Of course, if the opponent is a similar lunatic such as Yanagyu and Keiji Maeda, he will definitely not be forgiven. Li Xiao estimated the strength of the opponent in front of him, and then solemnly said: "To challenge others, you must first report your name to show respect for your opponent."

　　 There was a smile at the corner of the opponent's mouth, and he said briefly: "My teacher Okahei Goro Kazuha."

　　 This name is so familiar with where I have seen it before, Li Xiao tried to remember it, while considering whether to challenge. Before Li Xiao had decided whether to agree, the Samurai Nishimura Heizo, who was in charge of public security in the Takeda family, could no longer pass it.

　　Whether he felt that he had to please the people around Lord Takeda Katsuyori, or his awakening as a working employee of the Takeda family, Nishimura Heizo already felt the need to intervene. He shouted: "Bold, who allowed you to challenge wantonly, I think you behave suspiciously, but I think you are like a spy from Uesugi, so take it for me first."

Oh!

　　 The Takeda team agreed in unison, but at this moment, the opponent actually took the lead.

　　 This swordsman named Shioka Kazuha pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, including the sword and sheath, and the hilt slammed into the waist of the one in front of him, instantly depriving him of combat effectiveness. Suddenly, he approached another Ashikaru samurai who was about to stab with a spear, and hit the opponent's face with the scabbard tail, knocking him stunned.

　　 The opponent's movements were clean and neat, with only one move, and in the blink of an eye they had knocked down three more foot soldiers.

　　 "Quickly, protect the lord of the city and retreat to the outside of the residence." Pingsan Nishimura shouted.

Li Xiao glanced at this person. Heizo Nishimura's eyesight is not bad. He can see that Shioka Kazuha is good at short-range close combat, and it is not convenient to wield his spear while living. It's for being beaten.

　　Takeda Katsuyori, Yamamoto Kansuke, they were surrounded by Ashikaru soldiers, and they retreated to the gate of the brigade.

Shioka Kazuha did not chase magnanimously. He seemed to be walking a little bit like a small step between moving his feet, but his speed and frequency were very fast, his shoulders did not shake, his waist did not shake, and his left hand held a samurai sword fast. Stepped out of the gate of the residence.

"superior."

　　 As soon as the opponent stepped out of the gate of the residence, Nishimura Pingsan shouted, and the five people all stabbed their guns forward, trying to take advantage of the chance that the opponent was stuck in the door and could not escape, and killed him in one fell swoop.

　　 At this time, Li Xiao saw a sardonic smile on Shioka's lips, and his right hand, as dark and powerful as cast iron, grabbed the scabbard on the left. Everyone only saw a flash of white light, his movements were incredibly fast, everything seemed to be just an instant, the action of pulling the knife out of the sheath and closing the knife just happened and ended at the same moment.

　　 The tip of the five foot guns was cut off by the opponent in an instant.

　　 rumbling! Thunder sounded, Shinano is a hilly area, and there are often short showers in the afternoon. Right now, the sky over Takatocho was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was about to fall in no time.

　　 Facing the opponent's peerless swordsmanship, Katsuyori Takeda and Kansuke Yamamoto pulled out the samurai sword at the moment, as if they were facing a big enemy, they focused on every slight movement of the opponent.

　　At this moment, Li Xiao felt a few cold sweat dripping on his forehead, and cried out secretly from the bottom of his heart. This swordsmanship is really too strong. Li Xiao asked himself to deal with these petty soldiers. Even with a big gun, he couldn't do so easily, and he still won with one move.

　　 Who is this Shioka Kazuha? Why is it so strong? Li Xiao tried hard to think about it but still couldn't remember.

　　 Shioka Kazuwa looked up at the drastically changing weather, stood up straight again, and returned to the posture of holding his chest with his hands, the katana being held in his arms. The other party opened his mouth and said lightly: "It seems that it is not suitable for a martial arts competition today, sir, is my Shioka Yiyu's swordsmanship worthy of fighting with you?"

　　 Li Xiao hasn't answered yet, but Kansuke Yamamoto suddenly asked: "Your swordsmanship is Kashima Shinto's swordsmanship."

　　 When Li Xiao heard Yamamoto Kansuke say this, he instantly remembered who this person was, and cursed in his heart.

　　 Shioka Kazuwa saw that Yamamoto Kansuke saw through his details, and admitted frankly: "Yes, but I only swung a knife. From where do you see that I am using Kashima Shintoyu's swordsmanship."

　　 Yamamoto Kansuke glanced at the opponent's right hand, and replied in a deep voice, "It can be seen from the posture where you just drew the sword."

　　 Shioka Kazuha glanced at Yamamoto Kansuke's right hand, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, you have also learned the new style of swordsmanship."

The conversation between the two sounds a bit inexplicable to outsiders. UU read www.uukānshu.com, but Li Xiao knows very well in his heart. The Kashima Shintoru, the ancestor of the genre they created, is the number one Japanese swordsmanship in this era. , Undefeated heads-up, Tsukahara Buden with the title of'Juggernaut'.

　　 And this Shioka Kazuha who challenged Li Xiao is a direct disciple of Tsukahara Buden. At the same time, Shiokaichiwa later founded Yiyuyu, which is also one of the important schools of Japanese swordsmanship. As for Yamamoto Kansuke, he should have been under the guidance of Tsukahara Buden or his sect, otherwise it is unlikely that he would have time to study swordsmanship if he worked hard for the Takeda family all day.

　　 The number one disciple of Japanese swordsmanship, and the originator of a genre, he wondered why this Shioka Kazuha was so strong.

　　 Wow! The heavy rain fell suddenly, and the moisture in the air spread over the surface.

In the heavy rain, Li Xiao's whole body was soaked in an instant, and then his eyes flashed as if he had made up his mind. Then he said loudly: "Okay, I promise your challenge, but the time must be set by me. How about scheduled for three months?"

　　 Shioka Kazuha nodded, and said, "Three months later, we will fight under Gaoyuan City."

　　 In the heavy rain, the shouts of both sides were accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, which made people feel sad.

　　 "Okay, it's a deal. I am the Samurai Li Xiao from the Takeda family. I am from Mingguo. Do you remember?"

　　 "Ming Guoren?" Shioka Kazuha was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I came to this world to pursue the highest realm of kendo. I hope my battle with you can bring me experience."

　　 Li Xiao laughed and said: "Very well, I think so too."

　　 After they finished speaking, Shioka Kazuha nodded to Li Xiao and turned to leave. Then his back disappeared in the heavy rain.
