Chapter 78: Ginger Is Still Spicier when Old
"Senior, your sword has been broken. Although you can continue fighting with a broken sword, I only need to cut the stubble once more and I can completely chop this sword into pieces!"
Luo Quan felt that the situation was very good, and his tone became much more relaxed.
Yagyu Yansai smiled approvingly and said: "Beichen Itto-ryu is indeed a kendo called art. Every move is as precise as surgery, and it also has a unique sense of beauty."
Suddenly, he looked stern: "But don't underestimate Yagyu Shininryu! Who said you can't fight without a sword?"
With that said, Yagyu Yansai threw away the broken knife in his hand and spread his hands flat.
"In this case, I'm offended!" Luo Quan thought that Yagyu Yanzhai still wanted to make a final struggle, so he raised his sword and stabbed him without thinking much.
As long as she had some knowledge of Yagyu Shininryu, she would not dare to rush forward so recklessly when Yagyu Yansai didn't have a knife in his hand.
Yagyu Shinin-ryu was born out of the Onin-ryu swordsmanship. Its founder was Kamizumi Nobutsuna and its promoter was Yagyu Muneigan.
In Japan, swordsmanship is also called the art of killing. The ultimate purpose of every swordsmanship is to kill the opponent.
However, the idea of Kendo of Yagyu Shinin-ryu is the opposite, advocating victory without killing and the living sword, so Yagyu Shinin-ryu has almost no very lethal moves. On the contrary, they prefer Subdue the opponent without injury, and "no sword attack" is the ultimate trick to express this idea of kendo!
The so-called "swordless sword grabbing" is actually to seize the white blade with bare hands. It sounds ordinary, but this is a unique skill that only the master of Yagyu Shininryu can master.
Not just anyone can remain calm when faced with a knife and snatch it away from the enemy. In the moment of life and death, only a true master can keep his mind calm!
And what Luo Quan is holding now is just a bamboo knife, and it can't be said to be between life and death at all - you know, Yagyu Yanzhai has taken away many of the swords that make quick decisions, and a bamboo knife with no lethality is to him Will it cause any trouble?
Although Junko had already warned Luo Quan anxiously and asked her to be careful, it seemed a little late because Yagyu Yansai also rushed towards Luo Quan.
Just when Luoquan's bamboo sword was about to hit Yagyu Yansai's chest, he twisted his body slightly, and the bamboo sword passed through his armpit, and poked his loose kimono up high.
If he followed the complete process of "taking without a knife", he only needed to rush into Luo Quan's arms and push forward with his shoulder, and he would be able to knock Luo Quan off his feet after all his old strength had been exhausted and new strength had not yet been regenerated.
However, considering that she was a girl, Yagyu Yansai still did not have the heart to be cruel. He just steadied his forward body, raised his arm and snatched the bamboo knife tucked under his arm.
After getting rid of Luo Quan's weapon, Yagyu Yansai used his right hand as a palm knife to slap Luo Quan, trying to force her back. Unexpectedly, Luo Quan, who had lost his weapon, did not panic at all, but started fighting with Yagyu Yansai.
Shotokan-ryu karate has always been known for its fierceness, and even Yagyu Yansai was caught off guard by Luo Quan's sudden attack.
Mainly because he didn't expect that Luo Quan could also do karate in addition to swordsmanship, and his rank was quite high!
However, Luo Quan's level is limited, and his strength is really not enough. It may be enough to deal with ordinary people, but it would be too fanciful to defeat a sword master like Yagyu Yansai.
If Yagyu Yansai faced a master-level master of Shotokan style, he would definitely lose miserably without weapons. Unfortunately, Luo Quan is only a third-degree black belt.
Therefore, after the initial panic, Yagyu Yansai quickly stabilized his figure and forced Luo Quan back in a few strokes.
Picking up the sword that fell on the ground and holding it in his hand again, Yagyu Yansai said with a smile: "Now, the sword is in my hand."
Luo Quan sighed softly: "Sure enough, ginger is still hotter...I give up."
"You are one of the best young swordsmen in Japan for being able to stay with me for so long. If you are willing to join me..." Yagyu Yansai patted his head mid-sentence, shook his head and laughed: "Sorry, I'm used to it, seeing this Talented young people want to take you on as their apprentices, forgetting that you are a popular singer."
Luo Quan quickly climbed up the pole: "But I can pass on the swordsmanship to Junzi, which is the Beichen One-sword style I use!"
Yagyu Yansai glanced at Junko next to him and sneered: "She is not even willing to seriously learn her own swordsmanship, so she will learn Beichen Ittou style from you?"
"I will be serious!" Junko jumped out at this time, "I will definitely take the time to learn this swordsmanship in the future!"
Yagyu Yansai's face was unhappy: "Huh! It's usually so difficult for you to practice swordsmanship, but now I agree happily!
Forget it, you're older now. Now that you have your own direction in life, don't be as confused as before. No matter what, at least you have to make a name for yourself! "
"My dream has been to become an idol a long time ago, but I never dared to tell you."
Yagyu Yansai's eyes widened: "That's my fault!"
"No! No!" Junko quickly waved her hands to deny, for fear that her grandfather would take his words back again.
"It's just after lunch at this time, and it's a little early for dinner. I won't keep you here. Take the town bus to the nearby subway station. Don't be like Junko, who takes a taxi everywhere. If you have money, you can't. Such a waste!" Yagyu Yansai put his hands behind his back, straightened his face, and directly issued an order to expel the guests.
"Then we'll say goodbye." Luo Quan and Wen Xia nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else?" Luo Quan looked confused.
"Who taught you Beichen Yida-ryu?"
"Master's name is Chiba Shusaku." Without hesitation, Luo Quan named the kendo master who founded Beichen Itto Ryu in his previous life.
Yagyu Yansai fell into thinking: "Chiba Shusaku... I have never heard of this name, so where is he now?"
"Master does not have a fixed residence. He lives wherever he goes, and he has not left me any contact information. If he refuses to show up, I am afraid no one can find him."
"This is indeed the style of a reclusive master. It would be great if we could meet him and have a real discussion!" Yagyu Yansai had a look of yearning in his eyes.
"It's a pity... it's a pity..." Yagyu Yansai clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head sadly, and walked towards the back room, as if he was immersed in sad emotions alone.
The three neglected girls quickly left the Yagyu Kendo Hall when they saw no one around them.
This time, Junko listened to her grandfather and chose to take the tram home.
In the carriage on the way home, the three women sat side by side. Luo Quan, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, fell asleep leaning on Wen Xia's shoulder.
Junzi looked at Luo Quan's quiet side face and showed a touching and joyful smile.
"It's great to have a friend like Izumi-chan!"
