Seeing this attack, Sei Itō's right arm that was holding the blade did not move. He continued to use the long blade to block the slash from the thin man. His left hand that was holding the scabbard quickly moved to the side of the thin man's leg that was kicking at him. He used the force to push his leg away and at the same time, he immediately kicked at the thin man's lower body.
The thin man's reaction was not slow. He immediately landed his foot and twisted his waist, shifting the support point to his leg that was kicking out. At the same time, he used the leg that was originally used as a support point to defend himself. He kicked backwards to block Sei Itō's kick.
Then, the thin man used this opportunity to flip and lift his blade. The blade brushed past Sei Itō's fingers as he quickly retracted his hand. Then, he used his half-twisted waist to complete a 300-degree turn and slashed at Sei Itō's neck.
Seeing this, Sei Itō immediately lay on the ground and raised his leg to kick the thin man's wrist that was holding the blade.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the thin man's hands were immediately lifted up by Sei Itō's kick.
Then Ito Sei's left foot rubbed hard on the ground, and his body immediately slid back as if it was pulled by an invisible belt. After sliding back for a certain distance, he stretched out his hand and slammed it on the ground. He immediately flipped over and stood up from the ground.
"I thought it would be an easy job. I didn't expect it to be a tough one." Seeing that Sei Itō had stood up from the ground, the thin man straightened his blade and looked at Sei Itō who was also holding the blade with both hands.
"Unfortunately, you are not the person I want. But forget it. No matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it's still meat. I'll leave you here." Sei Itō said softly as he stared into the thin man's eyes.
"If you want to leave me here, we'll have to see if you have the ability." The thin man sneered.
Then, the thin man took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Sei Itō as if he had shrunk the ground into an inch. He slashed at Sei Itō's head.
Sei Itō's right foot naturally moved back and completed the exchange between his front and back legs. At the same time, he bent his arm and pulled back his blade. He pressed the blade against the thin man's blade and skillfully shook off the thin man's downward slash. Then, he flipped his wrist and slashed upwards from the thin man's exposed lower body.
The thin man quickly took two steps back and dodged Sei Itō's upward slash. Then, he held the sword horizontally on his side and stepped forward. A sharp stab instantly pierced towards Ito Sei's open chest.
Although the thin man's blade had not yet blocked it, the sharp wind from the blade had already reached Ito Sei's body, causing goosebumps to rise on the skin on Ito Sei's chest.
He felt the strange feeling in his chest. Sei Itō immediately took a step back and turned his body sideways. He dodged the thin man's stab by a hair's breadth and flipped his blade before the thin man could slash horizontally. He used the back of his blade to hit the thin man's blade.
For a Nipponese blade, this was the point where the entire blade exerted force. Therefore, with a clear "dang" sound, the long sword in the thin man's hand immediately fell to the ground under Ito Sei's powerful strike.
Then, Sei Itō flipped his wrist and slashed the thin man's blade. He stepped forward and slashed at the thin man's chest.
No matter what, the thin man was still an ordinary Adept Level fighter. His reaction speed was naturally not slow. When Sei Itō's blade was about to cut the skin on his chest, he immediately pushed off with his feet. Like a grasshopper, he jumped back a long distance and avoided the fate of being cut in half.
"Although there is no smell of blood on the blade, I didn't expect the person holding the blade to be a Kendo master of the Killing Sword. Forgive me for my disrespect," the thin man said in a deep voice as he looked down at his clothes that had been cut open by the blade.
"I am a swordsman of the Middle Palace, Guan Maoxian. I am holding a sword! "Then, the thin man repositioned himself and introduced himself with a serious face.
"Sei Itō of the Itō Ichido-Ryū, no rank, holding a sword!" Sei Itō followed suit. He readied himself for the Killing Sword and looked at Guan Maoxian.
"Since we have introduced ourselves, life and death are up to fate. Come on," Guan Maoxian said in a deep voice.
"Okay," Sei Itō said in a low voice. Then, his figure flashed. He suddenly appeared in front of Guan Maoxian and slashed at Guan Maoxian's neck.
Guan Maoxian moved aside. He thrust his blade at Sei Itō's chest.
"Exchanging a wound for a life?" Itokari thought to himself. At the same time, he quickly moved sideways and continued to chop at Guan Maoxian's neck.
Guan Maoxian was still unmoved. He turned his wrist and swung his blade at Sei Itō's chest.
Sei Itō narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He immediately turned his wrist and swung his blade. The tip of the blade pointed downward and blocked Guan Maoxian's slash with his body.
"Clang!" A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out between Sei Itō and Guan Maoxian.
Itosei, who had blocked the blade, didn't stop moving. His left foot directly performed a backward swing step, driving his body to rotate. Then, with the force generated by the rotation of his body, he pushed Guan Maoxian's long sword away. Then, he faced Guan Maoxian, who was wide open, and chopped down toward Guan Maoxian's chest.
Seeing this, Guan Maoxian immediately turned his wrist and adjusted his blade. He held the long blade in his hand and used his other hand as a shield in front of his body to block Ito Sei's powerful downward chop.
"Clang!" The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out in the room again.
"Bang!" Then, a muffled sound rang out. It was Ito Sei and Guanma Xian who saw that their long swords were blocked. Both of them were wide open, so they kicked each other and collided with each other halfway.
Using this collision, the two of them tried to retreat and faced each other in the room again.
At this time, Guan Maoxian's right foot rubbed on the tatami mats on the floor of the room. Several tatami mats immediately bounced off the ground under Guan Maoxian's provocation and flew towards Ito Seiji.
"A sneak attack through the obstruction of vision." Looking at the tatami mats flying toward him, Sei Itō couldn't help but sneer. He closed his eyes and released his mental power to protect his body. He quickly swung his blade and cut the tatami mats in front of him into pieces.
Clang, clang, clang, clang … Just as the tatami was sliced apart, a series of metal clanging sounds rang out in the room. Dozens of cold, silver-white sword lights flashed in the room, and the sharp sword qi that shot out immediately left slender marks on the walls all around the room.
"Boom …" At this time, a faint muffled sound rang out. The dozens of silver-white blade lights and the continuous sound stopped at the same time. Then, two pitch-black figures jumped away from the center of the silver-white blade lights and faced each other in the room again.
"It seems that I'm a little weak." Guan Maoxian looked at Sei Itō and said calmly, "But don't expect this to be over. There will be other people from the Dark Weapons Group coming to snatch the blade. I hope you won't die too badly when that time comes."
Then, without waiting for Sei Itō's reply, he jumped out of the broken roof and ran away without hesitation.
"As expected of someone from the Dark Weapons Group. His sense of danger is not weak. He actually dodged my fatal attack." Sei Itō swung his hand to get rid of the remaining blood on his blade and said calmly.
"But Master Chantan, why is it a man and not a woman?" Sei Itō walked to the scabbard that was thrown to the side. He bent down to pick up the scabbard and put it on the blade as he asked in a soft voice.
As soon as Sei Itō finished his words, Chantan Meiyun and Chantan Thousand Shadows jumped out of the hole in the roof. They looked at Sei Itō and said, "You only asked me to try my best. I'm not obligated to carry out your request."
"Alright, then I didn't say anything." Sei Itō curled his lips and said. Then, he took out a pastry and handed it to Chantan Thousand Shadows who looked like a little loli. He said to Miyun, "I can't stay here anymore. I will leave this town tomorrow and go somewhere else. I will tell you the address when I arrive at the new place. When that time comes, I will have to trouble Master Chantan to continue sending messages to the Dark Weapons Group."
"I understand." Chantan Meiyun looked expressionlessly at Chantan Thousand Shadows who was asking for her opinion.
Although Chantan Meiyun did not say anything, Chantan Thousand Shadows who knew her master well suppressed her desire for the pastry and lowered her eyes.
Ito Sei smiled when he saw this. He grabbed Chikage's hand and placed the pastry in her hand.
"Actually, if you really want to live forever, controlling your intake of sweets might not be effective." Sei Itō looked at Chantan Meiyun and smiled.
"It seems like you know a lot about our Chantan Sect's secret method of immortality," Chantan Meiyun looked at Sei Itō and said expressionlessly.
"How could that be? I'm not a disciple of Chantan Sect. How could I know the details of your secret method of immortality? "Sei Itō said in surprise.
"Is that so?" Chantan Meiyun said calmly. "It doesn't matter if you know."
Ito Sei smiled and shook his head. He didn't answer Miyun Tanaka's question.
"Master Chantan, is there anything else? If not, I will be leaving. "Sei Itō glanced at the messy room and said softly.
"There's nothing else. You can go." Niumo Miumo grabbed Niumo Chikage's hand and leaped out of the room through the hole in the roof, disappearing into the night.
Sei Itō did not stay any longer after seeing Chantan Meiyun leave. He used Blink and disappeared from the room. He then used Blink to leave the town and moved to other nearby towns.
After more than a minute, Ito Sei's figure appeared in another city, then he found a hotel that looked pretty good and checked in.
"I have to show up more in this city in the next two days. Otherwise, those guys in the dark won't be able to find me." Itosei, who had placed his katana in the corner, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up, thought to himself.
