I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 27 The outcome is decided
Although Tamao Steel sounds impressive, it is actually because the island country does not have good iron ore and high-temperature fuel. It can only smelt the iron ore into sponge iron, and then break it into pieces and select the iron ore with the right carbon content, and call it Tamao Steel.

It can be said that Tamagane steel is actually the only choice for swordsmiths in the island nation. In modern times, many swordsmiths will choose to use modern high-strength steel.

However, in order to sell them at a good price, they still use this method of refining jade steel to cast knives, claiming that they are forged using the ancient method, and simply increase the selling price tenfold.

Seeing that his extremely concentrated Iai sneak attack missed the target, Kuroda Takeshi did not sheath his sword and assumed a mid-range stance.

This is a universal stance in kendo. It is not as aggressive as the upper level, but it is good at both offense and defense, and can advance and retreat freely.

The new generation of gangsters like Yoshiwara Yuma have not experienced the twenty years of social turmoil. They are used to bullying and bullying, and they fight with ruthlessness.

The actual physical strength may be not as good as that of an ordinary person who has exercised a little.

Kuroda Takeshi is different from them. He is in his forties and almost fifty, and is a gangster leader who has experienced the late golden age of the Showa era.

He once studied at the Tenshin Shinden Katori Shinto-ryu kendo hall and was awarded the 'Catalog' scroll.

Most of the sword-fighting schools in the island countries divide their disciples into "Kai-Paper", "Catalogue", "Kai-Den" and "Men-Xu Kai-Den".

Generally speaking, a beginner can be called paper cutting after practicing it.

The catalog is equivalent to a graduation certificate, indicating that the disciple has been accepted into the sect, has learned some of the techniques of the school, and can graduate from the kendo hall.

It can be understood from the literal meaning that this disciple has learned all the mysteries of this school and can announce the name of his own school in external sword battles.

Menxu Jiechuan means that this disciple can set up his own school and teach the swordsmanship of his school to others without the permission of the master. He is considered a master in the swordsmanship school.

The fact that Kuroda Takeshi was able to obtain the certificate from the catalog shows that he has learned some of the essence of Katori Shinto-ryu, as can be seen from the Iai move he just made.

The moment the blade was pulled out of the scabbard, it slashed horizontally, and then performed a technique that used the key points of the upper large arc to cut vertically down to the chest.

This is a killing move that embodies the swordsman's energy and spirit. Even if you dodge the Horizontal Ichimonji Slash, there is a high probability that you will be cut and hit.

If you are hit by the sword, you will be disemboweled. It is a technique that kills with one blow.

After performing the move, he did not forget to maintain his resiliency, and his skills did not slacken. This was the Iai technique that Kuroda Takeshi was proud of, and it was the one that helped him achieve the title of "Bamboo-breaking Kuroda" in past underworld fights - Katori Shinto-ryu, Kumokiri.

He could see that although the high school student in front of him had extreme physical strength, he had no method when fighting.

In other words, there was absolutely no sign that this person had learned any martial arts.

In terms of skills alone, he might not be as good as Bianchuan, who has some experience in street fighting.

However, sometimes, when one's strength reaches a certain level, one can indeed defeat an opponent with one's own strength, and this is the case with the young man in front of him.

Many people have a misunderstanding about big and strong people. They think that strong people must be slow, have a delay before attacking, slow reaction, and difficulty in movement.

But the reality is that they usually have the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear and the agility of a cat, and can be called hexagonal warriors.

Kuroda Takeshi also knew this, so he behaved quite cautiously, with his lips tightly pursed and his expression serious.

The hand holding the handle of the knife loosened and tightened, and he closed his eyes slightly to adjust his breathing rate.

This is the meditation technique of Katori Shinto swordsmen. Meditation before a battle can remove distracting thoughts, increase fighting spirit, and also has the intention of deliberately revealing flaws.

If the enemy thinks it's a flaw and takes the opportunity to attack, you can take advantage of the situation and make a shocking strike with your strength, energy and spirit!
The life experiences of the past few decades flowed before his eyes like a ukiyo-e painting, from his childhood, to his daily life as an apprentice, to the bloody street fights.

He seemed to have returned to the past, with the roar of the Bianchuan Society at its peak on one side and the waving of swords and shouting in unison at the kendo hall on the other.

Although he is a gangster who has fallen into the Shura path, he is also a swordsman!
Kuroda Takeshi not only felt that he was carrying the dignity of a Showa gang leader, but also the honor of a Tenshin Shinden swordsman. He opened his eyes and spoke in a deep voice with a sharp gaze.

"The leader of the Bianchuan Society, Kuroda Takeshi, is here to see you!"

The refreshing night breeze after the rain stirred the green plants on both sides of the street, making a rustling sound. The neon lights in the distance flickered at a fixed frequency. There was some water on the wet ground, reflecting the confusing lights and Masasuke Omura with a bloody face.

After the wind blew, ripples appeared in the small pool of water, and the reflected scene was shattered into sparkling waves.

There were two people lying on the ground, one looked dead and motionless, and the other was curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

Higashino Yu also became serious. He was not naive enough to accuse the other party of a sneak attack.

He is already a gangster, doing all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, looting and forcing women into prostitution. It would be foolish to expect him to abide by the way of the samurai.

But he had no weapons in his hands now, so if he relied on his fists and wakizashi, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. If he fought head-on, he would definitely win, but it was hard to say whether he would get hurt.

Although Higashino Yu has already established his foundation, he currently has no magic to use. If he changes back to his original form, he will definitely bite one person to death in one bite. However, no one with a brain would put himself in danger of being targeted by all the demon exorcists and gods in the Tokyo circle just for a little dispute.

If you want to stay unscathed if you only rely on your human form, you'll have to use your brain. After all, if you get cut by a knife and start bleeding, it might give the police clues.

Dongye Yu frowned and observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision. He was speechless to find that there was no weapon like sticks, not even things like trash can lids that could be used as shields.

So he slowly backed away towards Kuroda Takeshi, as if he wanted to escape.

After a moment's confrontation, he took off his sweatshirt, bare-chested, and glanced behind him from the side.

"die!"

Kuroda Takeshi immediately seized the opportunity when Higashino Yu was distracted, and with his right foot as the front foot and his left foot slightly raised, he performed a common sword technique step called sending the foot.

This footwork was fast and his body was stable. He approached quickly and slashed the wakizashi from the upper left to the lower right with the Kasaya Slash, intending to disembowel him.

Hooked!
Higashino Yu immediately threw the sweatshirt in his hand towards Kuroda Takeshi's face.

Kuroda Takeshi lost sight of Higashino Yu, but he was not surprised. His expression was solemn, and his indomitable momentum had not dissipated at all.

When gangs fight, aren't there any despicable means like throwing sand and dust?
He is very familiar with the tactics of these street fights.

This technique of blocking vision, which is similar to throwing sand, is not very effective. How far can you run in one second?
What's more, clothes don't have the side effect of affecting vision if sand gets into the eyes, so the only way is to take the enemy by surprise.

If you do not pursue the enemy but choose to escape, your true strength will be revealed to others.

It was obvious that the boy in front of him was going to run away!

He got scared, the outcome is already decided!
Kuroda Takeshi was overjoyed, his momentum increased dramatically, and he cut the sweater with the Kasaya Slash. He did not stop and chased after him. The wakizashi flashed a graceful arc in the air and performed a reverse Kasaya Slash to chase him.

However, at this moment, after passing the barrier of the hoodie, Kuroda Takeshi was shocked to find that Higashino Yu had completely disappeared.

In the corner of my eye I saw a white shadow flash by, bringing with it a gust of wind, so fast that I couldn't follow it.

what is that? !

Oh no, I am guilty, brother Meng, I thought I could finish writing this paragraph today, but I still haven’t finished it. I just got stuck. I am really convinced, bang bang bang, I kowtow to you, please forgive me, I will definitely finish writing this paragraph tomorrow.
