Super Fighting Tokyo.

……

……

Retsu Kaioh's words quickly received a response.

Because Gensai Kuroki made a move!

He was not affected by Musashi's words at all, but continued to maintain the rhythm of the battle, pushing off the ground and lunging forward, throwing heavy punches left and right.

Swish!

Two powerful punches were launched, but Musashi dodged them one after another.

"—!"

Kuroki's movements were fluid and continuous. He planted his right foot firmly on the ground and kicked forward with his left leg in a swift mid-section kick, creating a whooshing sound as it went straight for Musashi's waist and abdomen.

But the next moment—

Whoosh!

Musashi then shifted his feet, dodging to Kuroki's left side, and simultaneously slashed down with the short spear he held in his left hand, striking Kuroki's ankle with the shaft.

"Oh my!"

Musashi's voice had barely faded when his slashing motion was already complete.

The speed was outrageous, as if it were teleportation, and the dodge and counterattack were completed in the blink of an eye!

pound!!

The gun barrel struck the ankle, producing a loud, crisp sound that was almost ethereal.

"Well--!"

Kuroki's gaze darkened, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left ankle, as if an invisible sword had struck him, and it felt as if his entire left foot had been severed!

But Kuroki's breathing was not disturbed.

Regardless of the condition of his left foot, he stomped his left leg hard while bending his left knee and sweeping his right leg out clockwise in a squatting position.

Swish!

Musashi stepped back to dodge, forced back by Kuroki's kick, but his figure showed no sign of panic, as he had anticipated Kuroki's counterattack.

"call……"

Kuroki stood up and exhaled a breath of hot air.

The monastic robe on his right ankle was ripped apart by Musashi's spear shaft, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The exposed skin was visibly red and swollen, but Kuroki's posture was not affected in the slightest, as if his ankle itself was not injured!

The training of the "Strange Arm Style" involves not only the hands, but also all four limbs and the entire body, making them extremely hard!

【Demon Spear】Kuroki Gensai, equally flawless!

"..."

Looking at his opponent, who had transformed into the form of "Immovable King," Miyamoto Musashi paused for a moment.

"Kuroki Gensai".

Musashi relaxed his fingers slightly, letting the two short spears slip from his hands, then gripped them tightly at the last moment before they were about to leave his grasp.

The tip of the gun touched the ground, barely a millimeter from the sand.

Musashi commented with a faint smile, "One inconvenience of short spears is that only the 'top' can cause damage."

Suddenly, Musashi changed the subject.

"But for Miyamoto Musashi, it's not a problem."

chapped.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Musashi turned his body to the other side of the battlefield.

He slowly raised his hands, spreading his arms above his shoulders, and held up the two short guns. At the same time, he slightly spread his legs and took a half step forward with his right foot.

"—!!"

Baki Hanma, Sho Shiraki, and Doppo Guji—these three people who had fought against Miyamoto Musashi reacted almost instantly.

Soon, more viewers also noticed, after all, that person was really too famous.

Miyamoto Musashi's posture is the "Upper Stance" of the five sword-wielding stances of the "Niten Ichi-ryu" school!

"Dual sword style!"

"Using a pistol as a knife...!?"

"We'll be able to see Niten Ichiryu!"

"..."

The audience gasped in surprise, a mixture of astonishment and confusion, but one thing remained unquestioned—

Miyamoto Musashi is about to unleash his power!

After "slashing" Kuroki Gensai's ankle with the shaft of his spear, Musashi surprisingly used the Niten Ichi-ryu technique to perform a "blank swing" on the battlefield!

That's a swing that can deform a dumbbell bar.

That's right, it can shatter the bamboo in mid-air!

——!

Swish!

Musashi tilted the two short spears back, with his hands facing diagonally backward, hooking the ends of the spear shafts with only his index fingers, using his palms and momentum to stabilize them.

The sword-holding technique known as "Tenori" (Inside the Hand), which exists in the foundation of modern Kendo, was taken to an exaggerated new level by Miyamoto Musashi.

He pushed off the ground with his left foot, propelling his right foot forward, while simultaneously unleashing a burst of energy from his core, swinging both guns forward.

"drink--!!"

A loud shout exploded from Musashi's mouth.

In that instant, Musashi's appearance was like that of a demon, which terrified everyone who saw it!

As the two guns struck, a crisp "crack" was heard, and everyone was astonished to see that both short guns had broken in two.

...No, it's not just a simple break!

Those two finely crafted short guns were like two fragile strands of spaghetti, breaking off simultaneously at the point where the gun tips were joined and at the point where Musashi held them!

Not only can it shatter two guns with a single swing, but it can also break them into three pieces each!

"It's...it's broken...!!"

The audience was in an uproar.

"It's like breaking noodles?!"

"The short gun shattered the moment it was swung down!"

"He's not even human!"

"Facing the [Demon Gun], yet breaking the 'Short Gun'—is this some kind of demonstration? Or a sign of what's to come!?"

"..."

Musashi raised his hands, looking at the two pieces of wood in his palms, recalling the feeling he had just experienced.

"Well!"

He turned to Kuroki Gensai, smiling and praising, "Compared to the 'Short Spear,' the [Demon Spear] is much more durable. You are truly remarkable!"

As he spoke, Musashi suddenly grasped the scabbard at his waist, drew out the entire treasured sword "Kuni-Tora," and raised it to Kuroki.

"Kuroki Gensai, I understand your gun now, why don't you give it a try?"

"Unlike 'guns,' the principle of swords—to describe it, it's simply drawing the sword and swinging it forcefully, nothing more."

"I'm curious, how would you interpret this?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Swish!

Musashi suddenly exerted force, throwing "National Tiger" directly at Kuroki, while simultaneously pushing off the ground with his right foot and lunging forward with his left foot.

Whoosh!

"Guo Hu" throws first, followed closely by Musashi's left vertical punch, instantly closing in on Kuroki.

The startup speed was so fast that even a third-party viewer couldn't see it clearly!

It was a despicable sneak attack!

But Kuroki had already noticed, and his right palm struck out swiftly, pressing "Kuni-Tiger" forward, and finally grabbing Musashi's left fist.

"—?!"

Musashi was startled, but before he could stop, Kuroki pulled him back forcefully, dragging him forward.

Wow!

Kuroki pulled Musashi along, while simultaneously preparing to thrust out with his left hand; the [Demon Spear] was about to be fired again.

Swish!

Musashi caught the moment the [Demon Spear] was activated, and quickly stretched out his right hand, trying to grab Kuroki's left hand as before.

But this time, Musashi did not get his wish. Instead, he and Kuroki Gensai faced each other and struck each other's palms.

Snapped!

Kuroki suddenly raised the Demon Spear and forcefully struck Musashi's palm with the spear shaft—that is, the "palm."

In an instant, Musashi's right arm went numb from the shock.

Kuroki, of course, would not let this opportunity pass, and immediately launched a strong attack, releasing his grip on Musashi's right hand and swiftly slamming his right elbow down.

boom!

Musashi took the elbow to the left cheek, his head tilted to the right, and his tiger eyes darted around.
