Mars explodes.

The two swords collided violently in the air, and sparks burst out. The surging sword energy shattered the moonlight!

The two of them glared at each other very close to each other through the two swords held together. Bang!

Qingden used his strength in his waist, and with a "clang" sound, he opened Kamino's sword, and then swung the sword from the top of the road, slashing towards Kamino's face...

Kamino snorted coldly, and quickly retracted the sword that had just been deflected by Qingto in front of him. When Ding Guishen's blade had just struck down, he successfully intercepted the slash in mid-air.

In the next moment, the two men exchanged offense and defense.

This time it was Kamino who launched the attack. His sword swept towards Qingteng's lower body from below, but Qingteng accurately swung his sword in mid-air to intercept it.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang... The two silver snakes were entangled and biting back and forth in mid-air. The soft moonlight was disturbed by the sharp sword shadow.

The two knives colliding back and forth created a large number of flying sparks, like fireflies on a summer night.

The reason why Aonto asked Kinoshita Mai to retreat and chose to challenge Kamino alone was very simple - if he and Kinoshita Mai went up together, there would not be enough space on the bridge for both of them to show off their skills.

Fighting against the enemy together will only hinder each other.

Facts have proved that Qingdeng's judgment was correct.

The narrow bridge deck is only large enough for three adults to pass side by side, which is just enough space for Qingdeng alone.

After more than a dozen blows back and forth like this, Qingto and Kamino jumped behind each other and pulled away, as if they had agreed in advance.

——This guy’s strength is far inferior to what he was just now!

The excitement made Kamino couldn't help but hold the knife in his hand tighter.

The high-speed knife confrontation just now gave both parties a certain understanding of each other's current status.

Kamino clearly felt that - neither the strength nor the speed of Aoden's sword strikes were as good as when he fought alone against 67 samurai including himself not long ago.

The hard battle between 1 and 67 just now has consumed a lot of his physical energy... Kamino secretly made this judgment.

In fact, Qingden's current strength is indeed not as good as before. But this is not just because of his weak physical strength and physical fatigue.

The main reason is that "lonely" has failed.

Only when you encounter enemies that are stronger than you or are more numerous than you, the talent effect of "Lonely" will be activated.

"Lonely" failed to activate... This is certainly a pity.

But on the bright side, this means one thing - under the system's certification, Kamino's strength is no longer stronger than Qingden now!

Looking back at the "Battle of Fanshu Tiaoshu" two months ago, Qingden could barely reach a balance with Kamino only when he activated "Lonely".

But now, when facing Kamino alone again, the "lonely" talent effect will no longer be activated.

This declares that in this short period of 2 months, Qingdeng's strength has made great progress that can be described as "progressing by leaps and bounds"!

Ayoto's decline in strength due to his "solitary" not being activated and the massive consumption of physical energy caused Kamino's fighting spirit and desire to win to grow to an unprecedented level.

There are also people with an inflated fighting spirit...and Qingden!

Qingden knows far better than Kamino about his current state.

According to Qingto's estimation - given his current "battle-damage state where the amplification effect is not fully achieved", he can roughly fight to a tie with Kamino.

This battle will be more difficult than originally expected...but Qingden is not afraid or discouraged at all.

The flame-like brilliance in Qingden's eyes became even more dazzling at this moment!

Qingdeng, who was concentrating on the sword in his hand and the enemy in front of him, didn't realize at this time - a vague excitement was flowing in his heart.

The second round of the two swordsmen...begins in the tranquility of complete silence...

Kamino stood in the middle position, holding the knife in his hand upright in front of his chest, with the tip of the knife slightly raised. The knife with a faint blue light divided his entire figure into two neat halves.

What seemed like a plain posture actually contained murderous intent and exuded a terrifying invisible sense of oppression.

Qingdeng showed no flinch or fear.

Ignoring the sense of oppression emanating from Kamino's body, he crossed his legs, pointed the tip of the knife at Kamino's chest, and assumed his best Kasumi stance.

The two people facing each other were in a posture like this - starting from the refreshing night breeze sent from the distant sky, they have been staring at each other until now.

Finally, Qingden was the first to break the confrontation. He moved forward little by little, shortening the distance between him and Kamino step by step.

Kamino stood still and allowed Aomori to approach.

After a while, the distance between the two was only four or five meters. Qingto continued to approach, but Kamino still stood motionless.

There is only more than three meters between the two...the two still continue to maintain such a "tacit understanding".

Qingdeng continued to move forward with steps as if the soles of his feet were glued to the ground, like ink smeared on rice paper.

The divine field with two feet firmly planted on the bridge is like strong bamboo or rock.

And just when the distance between the two was less than two meters, Qingdeng suddenly stood still. In the next moment... the world pressed the quick release button! Dang! Dang!

The two of them swung their swords quickly at the same moment! In the blink of an eye, their swords collided twice in mid-air.

Two sword lights like silver snakes once again disturbed the quiet moonlight.

After blocking Qingden's slashing attack with a "clang" sound, Kamino's sword tip suddenly stopped motionless, and then swept the sword horizontally across Qingden's chest with the force of a wind that swept through the remaining clouds!

Qingden was neither panic nor afraid. He leaned his body to dodge Kamino's blow. At the same time, he moved his left shoulder forward, hiding the blade of Dingguishen behind him with the lower right section, and then raised it towards Kamino from bottom to top.

However, Kamino jumped back slightly and dodged the sword.

Aoto switched stances to the one most commonly used in natural Rishin-ryu: flat blue eyes, with the tip of the sword pointed diagonally at Kamino's right eye.

Kamino, who was still holding the middle position, shrank his body, tightened his neck, shoulders and waist, as if he wanted to hide his entire body in the shadow of the sword standing in front of him.

Obviously, Kamino's posture is accumulating explosive power.

Sure enough - Kamino let out a low roar, and then in the next moment, the body that had been huddled together suddenly opened up like "a compressed spring was released"! He rushed straight towards Aomori!

The sharpness and murderous intent contained in this knife should not be underestimated.

Qingden deflected the blow and retreated. However, Kamino's offensive did not stop and he immediately launched a new blow.

The new attack was a straight thrust with equally terrifying power. However, Qingden easily blocked this fatal sword with his knife.

The two of them staggered and exchanged positions. The bridge made a "dong-dong-dong" sound. Stand still!

Turn around! Then slash at the opponent with the knife again! "Haaahhhhh!"

As expected of the Kagami Akechi ryu who is known for its "elegance", even the ki and the vocals sound more graceful than other schools.

Kamino took the upper road to attack, and the sword in his hand drew an arc of light in the air. Aomori did not retreat but advanced, jumping up violently. Kamino and Aomori's swords and bodies rushed towards each other, and they hit hard.

Together.

clang!

There was another huge clang that made the spectators think that someone's knife had broken.

As if being bounced back by an invisible force, the two of them retreated in both directions, and their feet scratched two white marks on the bridge...

The pull away... only lasted for a moment.

In the next moment, both of them stopped, and then charged at each other! Kamino's sword returned to the mid-level stance, and Aomori moved to meet the lower level.

Qingdeng leaned over and slashed as if sliding across the ground. The knife he swung upwards from the lower section scraped across the bridge, and the sharp tip of the knife cut a thin mark on the bridge.

Facing Qingden's slash from below, Kamino took a deep breath, and then slashed down with the sword in his hand! He wanted to suppress Qingden's swift blow!

The sword that Qingden drew from bottom to top contained powerful strength and superb skills.

When the two swords connected, Kamino felt as if the sword in his hand was about to be swept away by a strong wind blowing from below.

Although Kamino's powerful and heavy slash was able to accurately catch Ayoto's sword in mid-air, the huge crisis that followed made Kamino's face change drastically.

Fortunately, Kamino was not a weak person to be bullied. He gritted his teeth and exerted strength with his hands. He relied on brute force and skill to hold the saber firmly and did not let it go.

Huge power burst out where the two knives met.

Driven by this force, the two of them lowered their waists and stepped forward. While changing positions, they took advantage of the situation and made another move. Neither side took advantage of this move.

Aoto and Kamino, who passed by each other, stood back at their original positions. This round ended with Aoto having the slight upper hand. But the battle continued!

****************

The author spent a long time yesterday thinking about whether to let Qingtou and Kamino say some hot words before the fight started to heighten the atmosphere.

After thinking about it, I realized that it felt stupid to have Aonto and Kamino speak in a long and verbose manner before the fight started - a duel between swordsmen, no need to say anything!

Just draw the knife and chop!
