Chapter 667 Sword Judo

Daidoji Masashi's slashing blows were powerful and heavy. It was clearly a technique for chopping off people's hands, but when he used it, it seemed as if he wanted to completely destroy the opponent. Each blow carried unparalleled force, and his roar contained terrifying rage, which made him more like King Kong.

On the contrary, Ichiro Nagase, who was much shorter than him, was extremely agile. The four basic foot movements of walking, sliding, stepping and cushioning had become instinct for him. He could easily avoid Daidoji's attacks and always put himself in an advantageous position.

The fight between the two was like an experienced lion hunting a strong African elephant. The African elephant only needed to swing its trunk to seriously injure the lion, and if it was trampled by the thick elephant legs, it would die instantly. But the lion had an expressionless face and eyes with only calmness in them except for a strong desire to fight. He surrounded the African elephant, looking for an opportunity to win.

Even the spectators were infected by the fierce battle between the two, and everyone's face was flushed red, which was a longing for violence. A longing for this desire deeply rooted in human blood.

In the duel between Hokushin Ittoryu and Nakanishi Ittoryu, is the new Hokushin Ittoryu stronger, or is the Nakanishi Ittoryu, the original one, defending its authenticity?

Bang, bang——

The bamboo swords made a loud noise when they crossed each other. The extremely flexible bamboo swords kept bending and recovering. No one would doubt the power of the two people's attacks. If they were not equipped with protective gear, they would definitely break bones.

Because it was an informal duel, the time limit of the kendo competition was not followed. In the blink of an eye, the two had been fighting for five minutes and there was still no clear winner. However, the two of them were still breathing rhythmically, trying to restrain the body's urge to absorb oxygen, as if this would squeeze out more physical strength.

As time went by and their strength was lost, the fight between the two became more intense. Now, some swordsmen with lower ranks could no longer see the two's movements clearly, because compared to the sharp sword moves before, the two now began to compete in details. A simple exchange of swords was an extremely complicated game, and the loss of a detail would lead to defeat.

The fifth generation Chiba Seinosuke, who was invited to be the referee, had no expression on his skinny old face, but his slightly cloudy eyes clearly reflected the figures of the two people in the fight.

It’s great to be young…

The old man looked at the strong and young body of Daidoji Masashi and envied him sincerely. The powerful attack reminded him of his ancestor Chiba Shusaku.

In fact, although it is a sword art that emphasizes technique, the founder Chiba Shusaku is very good at using force to overpower others. Legend has it that when he was still practicing Chusei Ittoryu, the founder once broke a long strip of floor in the dojo with one foot during a duel.

Although in movies and TV shows, wooden floors are often smashed into a hole, but in fact, the wooden floors used in the Neon Dojo are extremely strong. After all, they have to withstand so many young and strong men stepping on them every day. The 3.6-centimeter-thick cypress wood was used to build warships in ancient times. Until now, the broken wooden floor is still kept in the Okemachi Chiba Dojo as evidence of the founder's bravery.

If Daidoji inherits the dojo, perhaps he can take it to a higher level?

Thinking of this, the fifth-generation old man looked towards the southeast corner a little absent-mindedly, at the sixth-generation Otsuka Yoichiro whose face was as fat as Maitreya Buddha, and the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner beside him.

Can a foreigner also become the master of my Beichen Ittoryu?

Thinking about what the Sixth Generation had done, the old man felt extremely sad.

He abandoned such an excellent Daidoji and adopted a German as his son, and wanted to let him inherit the dojo. Was it just because the German said that the dojo could be moved to Germany?

Can Beichen Ittoryu survive if it is separated from this land?

As a direct descendant of the Chiba family, Chiba Seinosuke was full of worries, so he appeared here even though he had already announced his retirement.

Just as the old man was thinking, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the dojo, and he quickly focused his attention and looked towards the battlefield. As expected, the duel between Daidoji Masashi and Nagase Ichiro was about to decide the winner.

The two should have just crossed swords and separated, and their bodies have returned to their normal positions. Daidoji raised his bamboo sword to attack from the upper part. This is an attack that abandons defense and combos. The people who choose it are usually strong and powerful. In other words, this is an attack with extremely strong momentum and power.

Correspondingly, if you want to effectively deal with the big upper attack, first of all, you can't stand still, you can't "respond to changes with the same strategy", after all, you have already gained powerful power, and secondly, you can't be afraid, a person who is already tall and strong holds up a bamboo sword, even if it hangs without falling, it is scary enough. Finally, you have to use multiple attacks to break it with combos, because the big upper attack only has one attack.

At this moment, Nagase Ichiro intended to attack the middle part, with the bamboo sword placed neatly on the middle line of her body. No matter which direction Daidoji's attack came from, she could see through it at the first moment, deflect the opponent's sword first and then quickly strike the second time.

After the two men had settled their positions, they stood there in a calm and focused manner, motionless like statues. This is why the audience knew that the two would have to decide the winner. After a fierce battle, when they suddenly stopped, the body would control the brain to ask for rest. Even if adrenaline was still being secreted, the body would instinctively want to rest, so now it depends on who will show the flaw.

Fortunately, none of them showed any sign of trembling. After a brief observation, Daidoji Masashi shouted loudly, and swung his bamboo sword down with the momentum of destroying everything. Nagase Ichiro's eyes lit up on the opposite side, and he realized that although the opponent's sword was extremely powerful, it was also a little heavy. He immediately supported his body with his toes, and tried to lean his upper body backwards, raising the bamboo sword at the same time.

At the moment when Daidoji's bamboo sword was about to fall, Nagase dodged it in a thrilling manner, and then swung down the bamboo sword as he had imagined in his mind, trying to use the force to push Daidoji's bamboo sword lower.

"Snapped!"

The bamboo swords collided with each other with a crisp sound. Nagase seized the opportunity, exerted force with his feet, and leaped forward.

So far, everything was as he expected. To achieve the strongest effect, Daidoji's upper attack had to be at the maximum attack distance, so that it could have the greatest power and avoid being hit by the enemy. But now Daidoji's bamboo sword was suppressed by him, and it was impossible for him to return to defense.

But! The moment Nagase jumped in front of Daidoji, his expression suddenly changed.

Oops!

It turned out that his bamboo sword did press on Daidoji's bamboo sword as expected, but he never expected that after such a long battle, Daidoji still had such a powerful strength. Even if he got a favorable attacking position, he could not suppress Daidoji's bamboo sword from top to bottom, let alone make a second attack. As long as he slightly retracted the power of the bamboo sword, Daidoji's bamboo sword would instantly chop him up again.

Nagase Ichiro's wrist was shaking. If he was facing any other opponent, he would definitely trip the enemy with his foot, after all, he was in a favorable position. But the enemy was Daidoji, so he had to be careful that the opponent would trip him and start the "Kenjudo" competition.

But as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. As the saying goes, what you fear will come true. Daidoji, whose bamboo sword was suppressed on the opposite side, grinned at Nagase, and the scar on his face trembled in a terrifying manner. Without hesitation, he stretched out his evil foot and tried to trip Nagase Ichiro.

"Wow—"

The onlookers suddenly became noisy and shouted excitedly. They were relatively quiet before, but now they were shouting "Come on!".

Generally speaking, wrestling is not allowed in kendo matches, but this is the Okemachi Chiba Dojo of Hokushin Ittoryu, and both sides of the fight are descendants of the ancient kendo, and at least half of the martial arts in their dojo are judo. And more than half of the onlookers are police officers, so wrestling is not common in police kendo matches. As long as the bamboo swords clash, it may instantly turn into a judo match.

With a wry smile on his face, Nagase Ichiro was tripped without any suspense. Once he entered the ground, the result of the match was obvious. An elephant rolling over could crush a lion to death. Daidoji beating Nagase Ichiro was like an adult beating a child. The scene was extremely brutal for a while, and anyone who saw it would cry.

The disciples of Beichen Ittoryu were all so excited that their faces turned red and they cheered loudly.

"Hit him in the face!"

"Choke, choke!"

"Cross armbar, put an end to his breathing!"

"kill……"

The fifth generation referee did not call a halt to the match like in a formal match, after all, his own disciple had the upper hand. Looking at Daidoji Shoji pinning his opponent to the ground and beating him up, the old man was filled with satisfaction, as if he had seen the reincarnation of the swordsman Chiba Shusaku. As everyone knows, the founder is best at using the cut to knock down the opponent's weapon, and then using his strong body to suppress the opponent's attack.

Fortunately, Ichiro Nagase was a respectable man, and before the competition he did not intend to use human wave tactics to bully Daidoji, so the latter also became a respectable man and stopped after beating him twice.

"Masashi Daidoji wins!" The old man from the fifth generation announced the result of the match.

Daidoji and Nagase stood still again, picked up their bamboo swords and bowed. The former sat down to rest, and a disciple of Hokushin Ittoryu came to help him take off his armor and handed him a drink. The latter limped to the sidelines, and the minion Nishimura Ryuta helped him take off his protective gear.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Fuji Xerox Group's Ryo Iguchi handed over the drink and asked curiously:

"How do you feel? Compared to the last game."

"Stronger."

Nagase took a big gulp of water and said with a wry smile:

"If I give him a spear, he can just swing it around and I won't be able to get close to him in my life. His strength and stamina are overwhelming. I suspect he drinks oil, so his stamina has no limit at all."

"How about it, is it my turn to challenge next?"

Nishimura made no secret of his desire to humiliate Daidoji through a round-robin match, but as soon as he said this he was met with a cold gaze from Ichiro Nagase.

"Even with the tacit approval of the head of Beichen Ittoryu, if it goes too far, it will still be stopped."

Someone next to me explained.

"Then let him rest for ten minutes?"

"Hmm... maybe five minutes? You saw that even though Daidoji was exhausted, he still had the strength to trip Nagase in an instant. If I go up to compete with him now, he will most likely resort to close combat tactics immediately. I can't withstand his punches."

Iguchi Ryo said hesitantly, he was a decent man, he had the dignity of a swordsman, but not much. Compared to decency and dignity, wantonly ravaging those who were stronger than himself was obviously more exciting to him.

Ichiro Nagase said nothing and ignored the conspirators around him. He did not agree with the round-robin war, but he did not have the sense of justice to stop his friends. He just wanted to be true to his own heart.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Before Iguchi Ryo and his group could make a move, Daidoji, who was in the center of the circle, stood up. He put his visor on his waist, looked down on everyone, and said loudly:

"Who wants to compete next?"

There were streaks of sweat on his face and heat rising from his hair. Although he was tired, an even more powerful aura was rising from his whole body.

Iguchi Ryo had the idea of ​​retreating for a moment. He was extremely sure that if he went up now, Daidoji Masashi would definitely not accompany Nagase to exchange swordsmanship as before, but would instantly approach him and pull him to the ground to start a judo competition.

But before he could hesitate, his fellow conspirators around him had already begun helping him put on protective gear.

The two men stood still in the field, and as expected, as soon as the fifth generation gave the signal to start the match, Daidoji Masashi suddenly jumped in front of Iguchi Ryo, stretched out his strong calves at the moment when the bamboo swords collided, and tripped his opponent effortlessly.

The most popular sword judo in the Metropolitan Police Department Kendo Competition started again, and in less than a minute, Iguchi Ryo shouted loudly that he surrendered.

Another five-minute break, Daidoji in the center of the circle could no longer restrain his heavy breathing. Anyone with eyes open could tell that this man's physical strength was on the verge of collapse, but when he stood up to challenge, no one spoke. It was unknown whether the crowd was moved by his tragic strength or they did not want to get beaten.

"In that case, I will rest for another five minutes. Please feel free to show you your kendo skills." Daidoji said and sat down again.

Ten minutes were up, and this time it was Miyazaki Masaru who stepped out. The one who was rated by Kanhara Michizane as being in the top three in terms of combat power among all the people present.

When this man came out, Ichiro Nagase and Ryo Iguchi, who were dragged to the ground and beaten, felt that it would be difficult for Daidoji to win this time.

Because Mr. Masaru Miyazaki was a policeman from Osaka Prefecture and was very familiar with "Kenjudo". He had won many competitions in the past by relying on ground techniques.

The disciples of Beichen Ittoryu all changed color when they saw Miyazaki Masaru. The previous Kyuunen Tenin stood up and wanted to make full use of his skills to help the eldest brother consume the opponent's physical strength, but was rejected by Daidoji.

"Mr. Miyazaki, it's been a long time."

Daidoji stood up calmly. (End of this chapter)
