Time was up, and the battle began.
Since the two of them were similar, there was no need for words.
Their eyes met, and their battle intent was clear.
He swung his sword, and the blade was engulfed in flames.
At that moment, Uesugi Hito moved swiftly. Her unparalleled sword intent turned into the fire of the blade, and she wanted to cut her opponent in half.
On the other hand, Qi Sha's Dou Qi was also bursting out. Facing this ferocious killing move, he slowly pushed his palms forward like flowing water. The angle of the chop was actually lifted up, and the chop was deflected away from his forehead.
"Draining …"
"Gentle Fist …"
After the first meeting of their ultimate moves, the two of them secretly knew the methods used by their opponents.
What they thought was right …
Uesugi Hito had indeed mastered the "Draining" technique. Currently, there were only three people in Sengoku who knew how to use this technique, and she was one of them.
And what Seven Kills used was indeed the "Gentle Fist" …
After the end of S2, he felt that his "Steel Fist" had reached a bottleneck. If he did not explore new areas, his strength and realm would stagnate. So, Seven Kills went to learn how to use gentleness to counter strength. He strengthened his training in all kinds of ground techniques, and he also practiced the high-level use of energy.
Today, he could be called a "master" in the field of combat. His entire person was a deadly weapon. He was ever-changing like flowing water, and he was as strong as a diamond.
"Hmph … Not bad, but … you can't beat me!"
A second later, the two of them snorted coldly and said the same thing at the same time.
Clang!
Before their voices died away, their palms and swords collided again, and the sound of their Combat Aura rubbing against each other was heard.
Then, the two of them disappeared in the intertwining vortex of Combat Aura. Another round of high-speed attack and defense began in the midst of the sparks of energy.
"It's really hard to get used to these messy moves …" As the fight went on, Seven Kills could not help but think to himself, "If I hadn't studied her video beforehand, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to last more than ten moves …"
He was glad that he had spent some time to do some "homework" before the competition. Even though it was only one day, Seven Kills still tried his best to watch all the high-level battle videos of the seven members of Warring States.
Among them, Uesugi Ren was undoubtedly the one who had left a deep impression on him.
Because … Uesugi's "fighting style" was very strange in the eyes of orthodox Grandmasters of Combat.
The weapon she used was a 'fixed length' weapon. It was a very special weapon. Its biggest feature was its unusual 'length'. The entire weapon, just the handle alone, was longer than the scabbard of the dagger. If the blade was included, it would be taller than her when standing upright …
To complement such a weapon, Uesugi Hito naturally had to abandon most of the conventional combat routines and create a set of martial arts techniques that were specifically tailored to complement the weapon.
At first, she wasn't used to this change, and had the idea of "giving up on this' unsuitable 'weapon and switching to something else …" But after a long period of training, Uesugi was now able to use this ultra-long tachi as if it were her own hands and feet. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to hold it properly.
The uniqueness of this "weapon" and "combat strategy" also allowed her to gain the upper hand when fighting against experts.
Screech —
A moment later, a wisp of bloody light suddenly appeared in the wind, accompanied by a strange sound.
The two people who were in the middle of attacking each other paused for a moment.
At that moment, even the audience with poor dynamic vision could clearly see that the fixed-length sword had cut into Seven Kills' shoulder. Even though the wound was not deep, there was no doubt that it had torn through his trapezius muscle.
"The time of the cut … is earlier than expected …" At this moment, Seven Kills didn't feel nervous at all, as if this situation was already within his expectations. However, he still sighed to himself. "Sigh … Perhaps this is the bottleneck of orthodox Grandmasters like me … After countless practice, muscle memory has already formed … This determines the inevitable reaction I will make under certain extreme conditions. If it were someone who had no foundation in martial arts, they might be able to quickly adapt to the opponent's movements and counterattack."
While he was thinking, he didn't stop moving. While he was thinking, his body leaned forward, and he took advantage of the momentum to do a forward somersault …
This ingenious movement not only neutralized the remaining force of the cut and moved the sword away from his shoulder, it also caused his heel to spin in a circle, and like a battle axe, it landed on his opponent's head.
"Tsk …" Before Seven Kills' kick landed, Uesugi Ren already knew that this cut not only didn't give her any advantage, but it also brought her a very serious problem, so she couldn't help but scoff.
Since fixed length had the advantage of having a large attack range and high power, it had to have a corresponding disadvantage — which was that after hitting the target and stopping, the speed at which the attack was retracted and retracted was too slow.
Seven Kills saw through this. At the cost of taking a cut on his shoulder, he successfully brought the battle into the rhythm of 'close-range combat', which he was best at.
Screech —
The wind pressure brought by the 'foot axe' brushed past the tip of Uesugi Ren's nose, and a burning sensation hit her in the face.
Although Uesugi Ren took a step back and dodged the attack, she had already lost her momentum … It was very disadvantageous for her to let her opponent enter the blind spot of her fixed length attack.
If one had to make an analogy, Uesugi Ren was now like holding a machine gun with her arm stretched out, and her opponent, although only holding a knife, was already at a distance parallel to her wrist.
"Wolf Fang …" After completing the somersault, Seven Kills ignored the pain from his shoulder and immediately rushed forward like a ghost, not giving Uesugi a chance to adjust her posture. "… Wind Fist!"
The moment the move was made, the murderous intent was revealed.
Seven Kills' fist was like a wolf's fang, and its style was like a gale.
Uesugi Ren took a step back and blocked the attack with her sword.
After fighting for so long with a fixed length weapon, Uesugi obviously knew how to deal with this kind of situation … When the [Wolf Fang Wind Wind Fist] came at her, she abruptly stepped back and retracted her sword. Although she couldn't reverse the situation, she was able to block the attack's damage.
Clang —
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Seven Kills had already stopped his attack and changed his stance. He used two fingers on his right hand to catch Uesugi's sword.
'Two-finger vacuum grip?' Uesugi Ren had seen Seven Kills use this move when she watched the recording, so she knew the name of the move in her heart without him saying anything. However, what she wanted to know now was … 'What is he trying to do? This move is not meant for close-range combat. Is he trying to break my weapon with this skill? '
Of course, that was impossible … Even [Telepathic Finger] couldn't break a Legendary-level weapon, let alone [Two-finger vacuum grip].
Seven Kills didn't use this move to break the fixed length attack, but to temporarily restrain his opponent's sword … even if it was just for a second.
Because one second was enough for him to use [Rihachi Style — Orochi Strike] with his left hand.
