When Hong Kang stepped into the forest, he knew that there were many people ambushing him.

But he still came.

Moreover, he still walked forward with a swagger, because his appearance had changed.

Hong Kang, holding a knife, stood outside the Siwang Pavilion and looked at the man inside.

He was about thirty-seven or eighty years old, which was the time when a man was at his most vigorous and powerful, and it was also the golden age for a warrior.

"Yagyu Ichibei?!" Hong Kang said softly.

Looking at the familiar sword in Hong Kang's hand, Yagyu Ichibei opened his eyes.

"Onimaru Blade!!"

"Where is my brother?"

Hong Kang said: "He said he wanted to see your Amaterasu, and I was kind-hearted and allowed him to do it."

As soon as the words fell.

Yagyu Ichibei suddenly lost his momentum.

The air was suddenly filled with a sinister atmosphere, and even the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.

But Hong Kang seemed unaware and still stood there as usual.

When Ichibei Yagyu saw this, he said: "It turns out you are still a master! Let me cut off your spine and see him off!"

Hong Kang looked at Ichibei Yagyu who stood up slowly and said, "You are afraid."

Yagyu Ichibei denied: "You are talking nonsense, I have nothing to fear!"

"If you are really fearless, why did you bring these eighteen people with you??" Hong Kang asked, looking around.

"And he also brought a gun."

Hong Kang deliberately sneered: "I heard that you are the second master of the Yagyu family?! How unconfident are you in your own martial arts!!"

Yagyu Ichibei's expression didn't change when he heard these taunting words.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to provoke me. Your psychological tactics are really inferior and cannot shake my will at all. You will definitely die here today!"

Seeing Ichibei Yagyu's behavior, Hong Kang immediately put away his sarcastic face.

He knew that Japanese swordsmen like to engage in psychological offensives before the official battle in order to weaken the enemy's momentum.

Hong Kang wanted to disrupt the opponent's mental state, but he didn't expect Yagyu Ichibei's mind to be so strong.

"It seems that I can only use hard force to kill you."

Saying this, Hong Kang moved his thumb and pushed the knife out of its sheath.

"Keng!"

The sound of the knife is sweet.

Yagyu Ichibei also unsheathed his sword, holding the end of the handle with his left hand and pointing it at the center of his abdomen.

Get into your most familiar knife-holding position.

He said coldly: "If he wants to retreat, you are free to shoot him."

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

Responding voices sounded from all directions.

Hong Kang said: "Do you think you can beat me?"

Yagyu Ichibei didn't answer.

Move the left foot closer to the right foot, then push the left foot on the ground, and use the power of the left foot to push the right foot forward five meters.

"Chopping under the Tang bamboo."

Before the sword arrives, the wind of the sword arrives first.

The blade compressed the air to form a strong wind, and Hong Kang's hair suddenly stood up.

Hong Kang's face remained normal, his body turned slightly to the left, and he held the knife in his right hand and raised it to the right, with the blade pointing upward.

"Dragon shaped knife."

"clang!"

The two knives collided, making a metallic sound.

"What a force!"

Yagyu Ichibei slipped backwards, turned with his sword, and made a horizontal slash.

Hong Kang used the "dragon-shaped hanging knife" to block it and then slashed it with his backhand.

"The white horse cuts its hooves."

"Sanxue Yen-tachi."

"Peep the sword's potential."

"Jackknife gesture."

"Yaegaki."

"Shortcut Xiaojie."

"..."

In just a moment, the two swords clashed with each other for no less than twenty moves.

Hong Kang used the "Bagua Sword Technique", while Yagyu Ichibei naturally used the moves in "Moon no Sho".

The light of the sword is like a curtain, and the wind of the sword is whistling.

The two swords "Nagako" and "Onimaru Blade" are both good swords made by the Yagyu family.

Both can withstand the high-intensity swings of the two masters.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-dang..."

The sound of metal and stone striking against each other filled the air.

Ordinary people's eyes can't see clearly the confrontation between the two.

Yagyu Ichibei's movement was like a flying swallow, and he suddenly turned around and was behind Hong Kang.

The "Long Light" in his hand cuts out from bottom to top.

"Must win: against the wind!"

Hong Kang's skin tightened.

He used his two feet as an axis and kept his body motionless. He held the knife in his right hand and dropped rapidly, using the back of the knife to penetrate backward along the left rib.

"Flowers hidden under leaves!!"

"bite!"

This piercing just made the tips of the two knives touch each other.

Then, Hong Kang exerted force on his wrist, and the number of sword techniques suddenly changed.

"The wind blows the lotus."

The sword suddenly gained a trace of winding strength, causing Yagyu Ichibei's sword to tilt to the side.

Hong Kang used the technique of "Tai Chi Knife".

"Aru Hui!"

Following the force of the sword, Yagyu Ichibei immediately moved three meters away.

Before landing, he flashed his steps and moved left and right.

He looked at Hong Kang intently.

The fierce confrontation between the two just now made Yagyu Ichibei's fighting spirit gradually increase, and his blood became hot.

"You are very powerful. If you tell me your name, I won't kill unknown people."

Yagyu Ichibei said arrogantly: "Your name can be remembered in my kendo career."

He felt that this was his greatest recognition of the person in front of him.

Hong Kang shook his head and said: "If you only reach this level, I will accept your life."

"Hmph! I don't know what is good and what is evil."

Yagyu Ichibei exerted force in his Dantian, and his aura suddenly rose a few points again, and a sharp edge wrapped around his body.

He raised his sword to attack and kill.

"Okuno Taishou: Random interception."
