The old man is also fighting an "invisible battle" in his mind.

The scene presented in his mind, compared with Qingdeng's simulation results, can be said to be the same result - as long as he takes action, he will end up in complete defeat!

Otani Seiichiro's whole body is surrounded by an aura of "don't come near him"... and so is Aoto!

I saw that Qingdeng was as motionless as a mountain, and his whole body was ready to go, like magma that would boil at the slightest touch.

If we say that the figure of the male Tan Seiichiro is "the combination of wind and thunder", he can move in the nine heavens and hide in the invisible.

Then, Qingdeng's figure is the ultimate flame! Burning and devouring everything close to him!

If it were Tan Seiichiro in his youth, he would naturally not hold back because of such a level of intimidation.

Looking back on the past, in his 65 years of life, he has encountered countless opponents who are more powerful and difficult to deal with than Qingdeng.

However, no matter how glorious and glorious the past deeds are, they are still old history.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Tan Seiichiro is undoubtedly superior.

Not to mention anything else, his "wind and thunder combined" is infinitely higher than Qingdeng's "simple flame".

But...his body was no longer able to support him in carrying out the actions that could suppress Qingdeng.

Now, he is unable to break Qingdeng's defense and protect himself at the same time.

Both of them have the ability to "defeat the opponent's attack and then deliver a decisive blow."

Whoever strikes first will lose.

This situation of "whoever loses composure first will lose" makes the war situation naturally evolve into a deadlock in which "no one dares to act rashly and can only continue the confrontation for a long time".

Both sides always maintain the same posture and are in a stalemate.

Everyone watching the battle was dumbfounded.

The space centered around Aonto and Otani Seiichiro seemed to form an invisible barrier, making it impossible for anyone to approach.

There are many barriers between the two opposing sides, and no one else is allowed to interfere.

The audience, led by Etian Qingyin and Oishi Jin, were shocked by the tense and tense atmosphere. They forgot the time for a while. They all stared with bated breath, watching the battle with concentration...

…

Time passes bit by bit.

10 minutes…

20 minutes…

30 minutes…

1 hour…

2 hours…

In the blink of an eye, the hour hand on the clock quietly crossed two numbers.

The beads of sweat accumulated on Qingden's eyebrows turned into water and slid from his eyelashes to the corners of his eyes.

He opened his eyes wide, raised his eyebrows, and squeezed his brows a few more times, finally shaking off the sweat.

"Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...!"

As if he was exhaling gravel, he repeatedly blew out heavy breaths from his nostrils that were stretched to the limit.

Don't breathe through your mouth unless absolutely necessary - this is common sense during sports and combat.

The mouth is not like the nose, which has the functions of keeping warm, moisturizing, filtering air, and protecting the organs. Breathing through the mouth for a long time can easily dry the throat, cause tracheal allergies and cough, etc., which wastes physical energy in vain.

For this reason, Qingdeng closed his mouth and held back his tongue, and tried his best to calmly coordinate his breathing with his lips.

His hair was steaming, and his whole body was like a burning fireball. Sweat dripped from his face to his chest, soaking his clothes, sliding into his sleeves, and dripping onto the hilt of his sword. There was a puddle at his feet.

Another puddle of water stains.

It's a similar situation with Otani Seiichiro.

His hair, skin, clothes, the hilt of the bamboo sword... were all wet.

In the late winter climate, there was a semi-white breath, lingering near his face for a long time.

His face was bloodless, his lips were dry and flaky, and his finger joints were white from holding the sword hard.

More than 2 hours of confrontation... Everyone watching the battle had back pain from standing, sore legs from sitting, and impatient waiting, but the two people fighting still maintained their original posture.

Niwang still lifts the middle section.

The sword master still has blue eyes.

Their swords seem to be on the verge of breaking out, but in fact they are as stable as Mount Tai and as secure as a rock.

At this time, a bird suddenly flew down from the sky and landed on Qingdeng's shoulder. It screamed "coo coo" and shook its cute head.

Perhaps it mistook the motionless Qingden for a tree or a stone statue.

When Zhang Tian Qingyin, Dashi Jin and others saw this, their faces were all worried and troubled.

Juggernaut v. Nioh - On one side is the veteran and respected Tarzan Hokuto, and on the other side is the shining star who stands out.

This is a few years... no! Even if the time span is extended to decades, it is a rare battle!

It would be a pity if this peak match had twists and turns due to funny off-field factors such as "birdie invasion".

However, they neither dared to approach Qingdeng nor made loud noises for fear of disturbing each other.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, they were surprised to find that Qingdeng didn't seem to be aware of the bird's existence.

His eyes were still as before, staring closely at the male Seiichiro Tanani, his hands holding the sword were still steady and strong, and his body posture in a flat posture did not show any flaws.

Perhaps feeling the "hot" gazes of Eda Qingyin and others, the bird standing on Qingden's shoulder tilted its head a few times and shook its butt a few times before fluttering its wings and flying away.

Until the bird flew away, there was no abnormality in Qingdeng's demeanor or movements.

In fact, Qingden did not perceive the existence of this little bird.

All his consciousness and all his emotions were poured into the bamboo sword in his hand and the duel in front of him.

Let alone a bird, even if a centipede crawled onto his leg, he would not react at all.

The confrontation between him and the male Seiichiro Tanani was not just standing there in a daze, staring with big eyes and small eyes, but a high degree of integration of body and mind. While maintaining the impeccable defense of his own body, he crossed his bow and crossed his horse, ready to go!

Tight muscles, ready to turn defense into offense at any time.

The spirit condensed into one can no longer see anything except the opponent.

Because of this, the physical strength, energy, and vitality in the two people's bodies were consumed at an alarming rate.

Even Qingdeng, who had talents such as "Yuan Yang" and "Strong Muscles", also felt a little unable to bear it.

His physical strength has long been exhausted, and he is now relying solely on perseverance to hold on.

Judging from the expression and expression on Seiichiro Tanani's face at this time... he is currently in a similar condition.

This peak showdown has become a war of attrition of "whoever can persist to the end will be the winner."

The two are now competing for perseverance to see who can persevere better!

No matter how long the duel is, it will finally come to an end.

Suddenly, Tian Qingyin's white eyebrows twitched.

He narrowed his eyes suddenly, without blinking, and looked at the male Tan Seiichiro, then at Qingto, and murmured:

"It's time to decide the winner...!"

Suddenly... it was really a very sudden moment! The body of Otani Seiichiro shook slightly!

This fleeting flaw was clearly reflected in Qingdeng’s eyes!

A loud noise finally cut through everything.

That was the sound made by Qingdeng.

He stepped forward and rushed forward like a rocket!

Almost at the same time, Tan Seiichiro's body also made a loud noise.

The interval between the two sounds was only half a moment.

At the moment of lightning, their bamboo swords, bodies, spirits... everything became one!

The bamboo sword rising in the middle drew a graceful arc.

Qingyan struck out with his bamboo sword, drawing a deep straight line.

Both raised two gusts of wind.

They merge in an instant and separate in an instant.

The two people, facing each other shoulder to shoulder, stood with their backs to each other.

Aonto stood at the place where the male Tan Seiichiro was just now.

The male Seiichiro Tanani stood at the place where Qingto was just now.
