"Sure enough!"
Looking at the little man in front of him who was spitting blood and shot at himself without even reporting his name, a flash of realization flashed in Li Xiaosen's heart.
Not attacking, it is really an effective technique for this special swordsmanship of the Sakurai family.
The Sakurai family's kendo uses illusion to force the opponent to attack, and then counterattacks.
But if you can not be affected by the illusion and do not move like a mountain, then the illusion will be shattered, and the sword technique will produce a violent backlash - this is the reason why the little man in front of him vomits blood!
He was not injured by Li Xiaosen at all, but by himself.
Li Xiaosen thought of the terrifying sword intent he had felt from the Great Snow Mountain before.
He could resist the illusion of the little man in front of him without attacking, but in the face of the sword intent contained in the big snowy mountain, Li Xiaosen could only close his eyes and retreat, otherwise he would have to attack.
From this point of view, the restraint of "no attack" on Japanese kendo is not absolute.
Li Xiaosen knew in his heart that when he met the real top master of the Japanese Sword Gym, he would definitely have some help in the battle.
But in the end, it is estimated that it is still necessary to attack hard, and there is no way to really hold back the attack.
"Orange Flame Ghost Slash, I still have to seriously pick up the Orange Flame Ghost Slash again and make it my own exclusive ability."
Li Xiaosen said in his heart.
If you don't attack, it's a good foundation, but if you really use slashing skills to fight kendo, and wrestle with the Sakurai family and even the kendo of the Japanese sword hall, you still have to rely on the orange flame ghost slash!
After testing the restraint effect of "no attack" on the swordsmanship of the Sakurai family, and once again clarifying the top priority of the next practice, Li Xiaosen remained silent, steadily put away the momentum of not attacking, and then retreated to Sakurai Shizuka's side.
Now his identity is Sakurai Hondo, and this performance can be said to be impeccable, and it does not exceed the duty of Sakurai Hondo's identity.
At this time, the little man spurted out another mouthful of blood!
But this guy is a ruthless character, this second mouthful of blood, instead of spitting on the ground, pulled out the sword on his waist with a bang, and the hot blood spilled on the blade, making a sneering sound!
It seems that the temperature of this person's blood is extremely high, and the blade of the sword is red!
Then this guy held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Li Xiaosen, like a beast that was inspired to be ferocious after being injured!
Seeing that this little man was about to pounce and fight Li Xiaosen, Shizuka Sakurai took a step across and stopped in front of this little man.
"Sakurai, are you going to make a move on me?"
Sakurai Shizuka asked awe-inspiringly.
In terms of strength, the guy in front of him named Sakurai Zuo can poke Sakurai Shizuka into a hole with a casual sword, but at this moment, the nineteen-year-old girl showed a tough posture that surprised Li Xiaosen.
Shizuka Sakurai is not stupid, on the contrary, this girl who is not outstanding in cultivation talent is actually very thoughtful and has a big heart, otherwise she would not have been concerned about the professional circle in the two years since she left the family, and she would have understood the important matters of the professional circle clearly.
The person in front of him is named Sakurai Sakura, he is a first-class master of the Sakurai family, when Sakurai Shizuka left the family, this person had the strength of the peak of the fourth level of the profession, and now it seems that it is already the level of the fifth level of the profession.
This guy came out and shot at Li Xiaosen, making it clear that he was doing it for Sakurai Shizuka, which was actually a move against Sakurai Shizuka!
"Sakun, put down your sword!"
Shizuka Sakurai took a deep breath and looked coldly at the little man in front of her.
The nineteen-year-old girl, who has just come of age, has now completely entered the combat state.
She didn't know that Sakurai Hondo was actually going to kill her, but she already understood: this time back to the family, it was a battle that couldn't see the smoke of gunpowder.
Before returning to the family, the girl made up her mind, either she would not come back, and if she came back, she would definitely not be weak!
"Lay down your sword!
I won't repeat it for the third time!!
Sakurai Shizuka suddenly shouted, "Who gave you the guts to dare to draw a sword against me?!"
” Li Xiaosen was expressionless on the surface, but he was actually quite impressed by the girl's expression.
I can't see it, this girl is so rigid, she is very bold, and she doesn't have any hypocrisy!
At the same time, Li Xiaosen is also ready, if this Sakurai Zuo really makes any impulsive moves, then he can't say it, he will be ruthless.
Li Xiaosen doesn't know much about the situation of the Sakurai family for the time being, but it is obvious that there is a force in this family that is very targeted at Sakurai Shizuka.
First, he sent Sakurai Hondo to assassinate him, and now he is a dismount.
In this regard, Li Xiaosen knows: You must not show weakness.
Shizuka Sakurai also understands this truth and shows such a tough posture.
And Li Xiaosen's vision is wider than Sakurai Shizuka, his eyes are not limited to the Sakurai family, for Li Xiaosen, the Sakurai family is just an entry point to participate in this kendo conference.
At this moment, Li Xiaosen is actually still paying attention to the entire Japanese sword hall and business district.
"It's a little weird......"

Li Xiaosen didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that from the beginning of his fight with Sakurai Sakura, it seemed that there were pairs of eyes in the business district and even on the snowy mountain, projecting towards this side.
"One of the candidates for the honorary heir of the Sakurai family, it shouldn't be such a striking thing, right......?"
Li Xiaosen had some doubts in his heart.
Not long after he picked up the Orange Flame Ghost Slash again, he didn't have much experience in slashing and swordsmanship.
So he didn't expect for a while that what attracted attention was not the return of Sakurai Shizuka at all, but that he directly hit Sakurai Sakura's hand with a non-offensive momentum!
"Sakurai's family, there is a good talent."
On the snowy mountain, Tang Xin retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and said in his heart, "Although the level in front of me is not high, but this comprehension of the way of the sword, this person estimates that the potential in the future is not small." ” In Tang Xin's opinion, in terms of current strength, the Sakurai family's "Sakurai Hondo" is naturally inferior to Tang Qin in front of him, but Tang Qin has been unable to comprehend the essence of non-attack, and his comprehension of kendo is not as good as the "Sakurai Hondo".
On the other side, in the B&B on the edge of the business district, Catherina frowned slightly: "A character in the family under the command of the Sword Pavilion who looks quite ordinary as a guard samurai, does he actually have such a high kendo comprehension?"
After a moment, her brow furrowed again, "Hmph, that's good, the more masters, the greater the benefit to me!"
Maybe after returning from the kendo tournament this time, the position of the first swordsman in our Nordic court will be replaced by me. ” On the other hand, Haiyang, Seli, and Gabru on the side were all inexplicable, and Li Xiaosen's induction had nothing to do with his strength, level, and ability, and he had to be both kendo masters to be able to sense it.
So they felt a little inexplicable about Catherina's reaction.
At this time, at the gate of Sakurai's house, Sakurai Shizuka and Sakurai Sakurai were still facing each other.
Sakurai Shizuka's posture is already very tough, but Sakurai Zuo doesn't know if it's because the backing of the person behind him is very strong, or if the person's own character is very stubborn, or if it's both, in short, he hasn't put away his sword for a long time!
In his eyes, hesitation and ferocity are intertwined.
Until a voice came: "Okay, put away the sword."
Shizuka has been away from home for two years, and it is a good thing to finally come back today, which is worth celebrating.
What does it look like to be dancing with a sword here?
” The door of Sakurai's house creaked open, and a woman walked out, no more than one meter six, with a plump figure, some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but a baby face.
A pair of eyes are quite majestic, it is the contemporary patriarch of the Sakurai family, Sakurai Katsuna.
"Patriarch!"
Shizuka Sakurai hurriedly saluted.
However, what is quite surprising is that it is not only the head of the Sakurai family who came out, but also seven men and women who came out one after another, with different appearances and a large age span, the youngest looks less than thirty, and the oldest is an old lady who walks tremblingly.
"Ah......
It turns out that the eight elders are here?
It's rude!
Sakurai Shizuka was startled, and hurriedly beckoned Li Xiaosen to salute together, and whispered, "These eight are the leaders of the eight families!"
” Li Xiaosen was also quite surprised in his heart, and on the surface, he naturally looked full and saluted one by one.
Sakurai Sakura, at this time, finally put away his sword and stepped aside.
But Li Xiaosen noticed a detail: this guy did not collect the sword when the head of the Sakurai family spoke, nor when the other heads of the family appeared, but after an extremely fair-skinned girl about the same age as Shizuka Sakurai appeared next to the eight heads of the family.
The girl was dressed in a plain white dress, her complexion was so white that she was even a little sickly, and her appearance was quite beautiful, but the bags under her eyes were a little deep, and her eyes were cold and cold, giving people a feeling of discomfort.
At this time, Shizuka Sakurai and the eight parents saluted one by one, and the head of the Sakurai family, Katsuka, smiled: "We were discussing the kendo conference, but I didn't expect you to come back at this time." ” Among the patriarchs of the eight major families, there were some good-tempered ones, and they said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Shizuka's little girl?"
I haven't seen you for two years, but I've become pretty. ” Another person said, "It's good to be back, it's just in time for the kendo tournament, and it's very lively." ” It can be seen that the patriarch of the Sakurai family, among the leaders of the eight major families, seems to belong to a relatively high level of strength and status.
So seeing that the head of Guixiang had a good attitude towards Shizuka Sakurai, the other parents also behaved more gently.
Sakurai Shizuka was a little flattered, originally she thought that she would be blamed for returning to the family, after all, her behavior of leaving home was not approved by the family at the beginning.
She was even ready to be punished, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
The question is, if the patriarch has a good attitude towards himself, what is going on with this Sakurai Sakura?
Whose order did he take to dismount himself?
Just when Shizuka Sakurai was puzzled, the girl in a plain white dress said coldly: "Shizuka, as one of the honorary heirs of the family, is not suitable to leave the family for two years, right?"
Her voice was as white as ice and snow as her skin, and it was cool.
"Rika, you ......"
Sakurai Shizuka's face was a little strange, and she seemed to be very surprised, and she stopped talking.
Li Xiaosen also felt very strange, because when the girl spoke, the eight elders were silent.
What is the origin of this girl, even the leaders of the eight major families of the Sword Pavilion want to give her three points?
The girl named Rika Sakurai smiled at this time and looked at Sakurai Sakurai, who had retreated to the side.
When Sakurai Zuo was stared at by that gaze, the whole person suddenly bounced up, and then drew his sword with a brush, and the blade of the sword only stabbed at Rika Sakurai!

In the past, Li Xiaosen didn't understand Japanese kendo and Sakurai kendo, so he definitely didn't understand.
But now Li Xiaosen was just stunned for a moment, and his heart was bright: Sakurai Rika should have used illusion on Sakurai Zuo to force Sakurai Zuo to draw his sword and attack!
Sure enough, Sakurai Sakurai's sword was handed to Sakurai Rika's eyes and stopped.
Because of a short sword, it was held in the hand by Rika Sakurai and silently sank into Sakurai's ribs.
Sakurai family's kendo can be said to be divided into two steps, the first step is to force the opponent to attack with illusion, and the second step is to target defensive counterattacks.
Before this, Li Xiaosen didn't know what it was like to fight back, because logically speaking, that was the essence of Sakurai Kendo, and the ultimate purpose of illusion persecution was to fight a defensive counterattack.
And now, Li Xiaosen has seen it, and he is even a little shocked- Because it's so neat!
For the first time, Li Xiaosen even had a terrible feeling that he had opened a hole and didn't fully capture the sword trajectory of the girl in white!
In retrospect, this sword counterattack is actually very simple, but because it is so simple, it is extremely efficient and concealed to the extreme!
This is the kendo of the Sakurai family?
Kendo at the Japanese kenkan?
In the face of illusion persecution, if you can't resist it, you can't stop attacking, and you have to attack, the counterattack you have to face is such a sword?
Then if he didn't close his eyes in time when he faced the sword intent of the Great Snow Mountain before, but chose to take out his sword and attack head-on with the Orange Flame Demon Slash, what would be the consequences?
Li Xiaosen suddenly didn't dare to think about it.
Rika Sakurai hit Sakurai Sakurai hard with a sword, this change was too sudden, although the injury was not fatal, but it was definitely very heavy, and it was likely to affect future career development and rank capping.
"Shizuka left the family for a crime, and she should have been brought back to be punished; Hondo-kun, who was sent to bring her back, failed to complete the task for a long time, which is also a sin; And you, Sakun, you were supposed to be responsible for punishing Sakurai Hondo, but you failed, which is also a crime. ” The girl in white said faintly, like the snow girl in a ghost story, with amazing charm, but there is an indescribable cold thriller.
Patriarch Guixiang sighed and said, "Lixiang, there's no need to do this...... but the tone is not harsh, obviously not binding on this beautiful girl in white.
Rika Sakurai, like Shizuka Sakurai, is one of the heirs of the honorary head of the Sakurai family, and she was originally under Shizuka.
However, in the two years since Shizuka Sakurai left the family, Rika Sakurai's cultivation talent seems to have opened up, and it has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years.
Now she is not only the heir to the honorary head of the family, but also a strong contender for the next patriarch!
Of course, the most critical point, and the most important reason why the parents of the eight major families present were quite tolerant of her, was that her current kendo strength was really strong, and you must know that the eight major families had also allocated a small number of places to participate in the next kendo conference.
And Rika Sakurai has successfully obtained a valuable place to attend!
With a thud, Sakurai fell to the ground, gasping continuously, but it seemed that he couldn't breathe it into his lungs, twisting in pain.
Rika Sakurai held her blood-stained dagger and turned her head to look at Shizuka Sakurai.
At this moment, Shizuka Sakurai was frightened, and a cool breath rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
She feels like she is not being targeted by her former best friend who has been playing since she was a child, but by a humanoid demon!
Li Xiaosen snorted and stepped forward to block between the two women.
Seeing his movements, a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of Rika Sakurai, who seemed to be a little puzzled and very annoyed.
So Li Xiaosen suddenly understood: Who was the person who sent Sakurai Zuo to do the dismount just now.
And who is the person who sent that dead ghost Sakurai Hondo to kill Sakurai Shizuka!
- It should be this Rika Sakurai!
And I don't know why, for this girl in white, Li Xiaosen inexplicably has a strong sense of disgust for no reason!
At this time, the patriarchs of the eight major families under the command of the Sword Pavilion were all present.
Because Li Xiaosen faced Sakurai Zuo's "non-attack" not long ago, the entire business district, including the sword hall on the Snow Mountain, also has some masters who are proficient in kendo, and they are paying attention to the situation on Sakurai's side with great interest.
Then I heard Li Xiaosen suddenly speak.
Originally, according to reason, with his current status, he should not speak.
But that feeling of disgust was so strong that Li Xiaosen couldn't help but stand on the position of his true identity and said, "Do you have a place in the kendo tournament?"
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll have to hand over that spot, because I asked for it. ” Rika Sakurai froze.
She was going to make a move on Li Xiaosen, just like she did to Sakurai Zuo just now.
Sakurai Sakura, who is a fifth-level professional, is as vulnerable as a child in the hands of Rika Sakurai, and Rika Sakurai's strength is indeed very terrifying!
In fact, no one can say her current strength, because in the past two years, she seems to be improving every day, and her strength is stronger every day than the day before.
Because of this, Rika Sakurai didn't expect that a person who was about to be severely injured under his sword would dare to speak wildly?
Shizuka Sakurai, who was blocked by Li Xiaosen, was also stunned.
The parents of the eight major families around him also stared at Li Xiaosen, and said in their hearts, "Sakurai Hondo", is this "Sakurai Hondo" broken in the brain?
Shouldn't you be honest and guilty at this time?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Although this "Sakurai Hondo" defeated Sakurai Zuo before, he looks like he should only be a professional level four, but he has a deep kendo comprehension, and he may not win if he fights Sakurai Sakurai again, let alone against Sakurai Rika?
Yes, Li Xiaosen is currently a fourth-level professional figure in the eyes of everyone.
There's nothing wrong with that, after all, he's actually a fourth-level himself, but it's not Sakurai Hondo, a "fourth-level swordsman", but a "fourth-level Dark Spawn Tactics"!
But level four is level four.
On the Great Snow Mountain, Tang Qin had already suspended his cultivation, and he also noticed the situation on the Sakurai family's side, and frowned: "Career level four, you actually said that you want to participate in the kendo conference?"
Does this person think that the kendo tournament is something that anyone can attend?!
” Tang Xin was silent, his eyes flickering faintly.
In the B&B on the edge of the business district, Catherina, Gabru, Ocean, and Selie all showed interested expressions, and several people didn't know much about the Sakurai Hondo that Li Xiaosen pretended to be, but for Sakurai Rika, they had already understood something in the past few days when they came to the Sword Hall, after all, for all the participants of the kendo conference, it was also necessary to understand it in advance.
Rika Sakurai's strength should not be inferior to that Tang Qin, this is the information obtained by Northern Europe and North America!
In other words, although Rika is not from the Tang family of the Sword Pavilion, as a participant in the Japanese professional circle, her strength can definitely be called one of the seeded players!
The ocean also said before that this previously unknown Sakurai Rika should become famous in one fell swoop at the kendo conference.
But now, the seeded player has been challenged by a professional level 4 who has not even passed the basic level threshold to participate in the kendo tournament?!
This time, it was no longer just the kendo masters who projected their eyes, but the characters from all walks of life in the Snow Mountain Sword Pavilion and the surrounding business district were all shocked.
Originally, it was just the return of the heir to the honorary head of the Sakurai family, which was not a particularly big deal, but it became the way it is now.
In particular, the key detail is: Li Xiaosen faced Rika Sakurai's sword and stood in place without moving!
Sakurai Zuo was glanced at, and he couldn't help but make a move, and Li Xiaosen, who was currently pretending to be Sakurai Hondo, faced Sakurai Rika's sword, stood firmly in place, his whole body was steaming, obviously resisting illusions, and he did withstand it, but he didn't take the initiative to attack!
In the eyes of those who know the kendowork of the Sakurai family, this is the qualification - this "Sakurai Hondo" challenges the qualification of Rika Sakurai!
At this moment, in a deep dark space that no one noticed, he opened a pair of eyes.
The owner of these eyes was a young man who was described as withered and so thin that it seemed that only skin and bones remained.
The robe on his body was almost so tattered that he couldn't see the original appearance, but a vague mark on his shoulder showed that this was a martial arts suit most commonly worn by ancient Chinese martial artists.
The time when this withered young man opened his eyes happened to be the moment when Li Xiaosen faced Sakurai Rika's sword steadily and did not make a move.
In the young man's hand was a heavy, bladeless, wood-cut sword.
