"Have I been exposed?"
"No, I don't think so."
Ryuga made such a judgment in the dark.
If he had really found him, he would have drawn his sword directly to him, instead of standing there on guard and looking around, trying to find him.
Perhaps he had suddenly sensed something wrong when he was meditating, so he stood up to test the surroundings.
People who practiced martial arts had good intuition. Esders's intuition was even enough to form the Intuition skill. If Yagyuu Munematsu was really a Sword Sage, as Musashi had said, then it was possible that he had sensed something wrong on a whim.
Moreover, he was also a person who cultivated the mind. He would have an incredible superpower in the mind, and his perception would become very sharp.
Ryuga had never cultivated the mind, and he did not need to cultivate the mind. Cultivating the mind was useless to him, but it did not prevent him from gaining common sense in this area.
In the training hall.
Ryuga did not intend to continue hiding. He simply walked out of his hiding place and entered Yagyuu Munematsu's line of sight.
The moment he appeared, Yagyuu Munematsu cast him a look full of sword energy. That kind of look was enough to cut off an ordinary person's fighting spirit and courage.
However, Liu Xia didn't seem to be frightened by him at all. Her green eyes were still as calm as an ancient well, as if she was a machine that didn't have any consciousness at all.
Although he was already wearing a dark night suit, and his face was covered with a black veil, leaving only a pair of eyes to look at the enemy, he still used the [Transform] skill to slightly change the appearance of his bones just in case.
If he took off the black veil now, only the face of a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes would be revealed. He looked ordinary and was completely different from before.
"Oh? Is there really a thief who has sneaked in? "
A very faint smile appeared on Yagyuu Munematsu's face. He had only opened his mouth to test him, and the enemy had taken the initiative to run out. It made him feel that it was too easy. The level of the thief was not as high as he had imagined.
Ryuga didn't say a word to him. She raised her Ming Shen Qie and slashed at him.
He didn't use much strength, not even a fifth of his normal strength. He only used strength that was slightly stronger than a normal person's to rush towards his opponent.
Even so, the blade he swung out was still sharp enough to cut through the air, causing the airflow to surge. Accompanied by the flickering blade light, he swung it toward his opponent.
The old man, who was close to seventy years old, did not panic in the face of this attack. He placed his right hand on the hilt of the saber on his left waist. Then, he bent his legs slightly, and his body was pulled back like a bow. He swung the saber forward with an incomparably accurate posture.
Clang!
The next moment, the blades of the two Tachi collided with each other, producing a crisp sound of metal.
The old man accurately saw through the path of his sword and blocked his saber with an ordinary left cut, not allowing it to move an inch forward.
After his saber was blocked, Ryuga did not hesitate and attacked again. In an instant, he swung his saber three times consecutively, attacking his head, heart, and waist.
"Oh?"
The old man exclaimed softly. Then, he lowered the hilt of his saber and blocked the real saber in front of his waist, easily blocking the real saber once again.
"You clearly have such good targets like the head and heart, but the real saber is aimed at the waist … Are you testing me?"
In a situation where there was no sword qi to attack, the so-called three saber swings were actually two feints with one real move hidden. If one was unable to judge or make a mistake in judgment, one would be seriously injured or even die on the spot.
However, this was only a move used against second and third-rate swordsmen. Of course, it would not be effective against a truly powerful swordsman.
"It's good that your reputation is not undeserved."
Ryuga nodded secretly as if he was commenting. He was indeed testing him just now. After all, he was here for a sword duel, not to kill. Of course, he would not use his full strength directly. Otherwise, his opponent might be lying on the ground now, and his rare opportunity would be wasted.
But in this way, he could use some real strength.
As soon as he thought about it, Ryuga's sword momentum suddenly changed, and the speed of his saber suddenly became fast and violent. Every saber move was like a fierce wind, causing the saber light to cover Yagyuu Munetsugu's entire body.
"Humph."
The old man snorted softly and then sped up his sword. He still used a seemingly simple but accurate saber path to cut off Ryuga's sword path, blocking all the saber light around him.
His sword technique did not seem to have the slightest power. Compared with Ryuga's sword technique, which was obviously extraordinary, he seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, there was a sense of heaviness as steady as Mount Tai, and he was vaguely better.
Ryuga's sword momentum changed again, and the speed of his saber became as fast as thunder and lightning. His movements were also like thunder and lightning, giving people a sense of urgency that they could not react in time.
Yagyuu Munetsugu blocked it again steadily. Even if he collided with Ryuga's saber directly, his arm did not tremble or feel numb at all. His body was still strong and powerful, and his movements were still vigorous and swift.
Ryuga's eyes flickered slightly.
Then, he changed his sword momentum for the third time, making the power of his saber as explosive and hot as a flame.
"Boy, who are you to Miyamoto Musashi?"
Yagyuu Munetsugu's expression remained unchanged. While blocking all of his sword skills again, he asked with ease.
"I haven't fought with Miyamoto Musashi, but I heard that his sword has the four stances of earth, fire, water, and wind. Your sword is quite similar to his. Are you his disciple?"
According to historical records, the Book of Five Wheels written by Miyamoto Musashi had four volumes of earth, water, fire, wind, and space. However, except for the volume of water, which explained the Niten Ichi-ryū technique, the other volumes talked more about strategy and military tactics. The last volume, the volume of space, was even more mysterious. It had nothing to do with the momentum of the sword itself. There was no such mysterious saying that the sword momentum was like fire or water.
However, Ryuga, who had learned the sword from the female Musashi, knew that her sword did contain the four principles of earth, water, fire, and wind. Her Whole Body One Sword — Six Paths and Five Wheels — Kurikara celestial phenomenon included all four principles, forming the first four sabers. Then, it was the last saber that contained the principle of space.
Therefore, there was still a difference between the historical Miyamoto Musashi and the female Musashi that Ryuga knew. Not only was the principle of the saber different, but there was also a difference between the saber and the saber.
Ryuga ignored Yagyuu Munetsugu's words. She just changed the sword momentum of the Tachi in her hand again. This time, it became as hot and long as the sun.
During this period of time, Ryuga had changed several sword techniques that matched the Breathing Method.
