Super Fighting Tokyo.

The main body drew its sword from its sheath, then swung the hilt violently, throwing it with the force of a flying axe towards Musashi, who was several meters away.

Swish!

The sharp blade spun a few times in mid-air.

Just as the sword was about to slash Musashi, Musashi shifted slightly to the side, then extended his right hand and easily grasped the hilt of the flying sword.

Musashi's extraordinary reflexes made his movements as effortless as picking up an inanimate object!

"..."

The onlookers held their breath in awe.

The commander then weighed the scabbard in his hand and said with a sneer, "This is all that's left. It's useless to me anyway, so I'm returning it to you."

Swish!

The headquarters then threw the scabbard back into place.

This time, the scabbard was not rotated, but rather the opening of the scabbard was pointed at Musashi.

Musashi accepted the challenge without hesitation, raising his sword and aiming the tip at the incoming scabbard, letting the scabbard re-insert itself into the blade.

Snapped!

But just as Musashi was about to perfectly sheathe his sword—

Musashi raised the tip of his sword, which ultimately pressed down on the gunpowder that the headquarters had secretly hidden at the bottom of the scabbard.

boom!

The gunpowder exploded, shattering the scabbard to pieces. The aftershocks also hit Musashi's face, causing him to groan and crouch down to protect himself.

—Now!

call out!

The main force swung the weight again, taking advantage of Musashi's curled-up body, and struck forward with the weight, accurately hitting Musashi's left cheek wound.

Thud!

Flesh and bone, metal and teeth collided, producing a unique, goosebump-inducing sound.

Musashi coughed up blood and staggered backward.

Taking advantage of the situation, the main force swung the lock-breaking copper, using the chain to wrap around Musashi's sword, attempting to seize the sword again and take the initiative in offense and defense.

But this time, the iron chain locking the copper parts taut instantly, and no matter how the headquarters pulled, it couldn't move.

"—?!"

Everyone stared intently at it.

Musashi's grip on the sword remained unchanged; he simply used his thumb and little finger to hold the hilt, and even held the tip of the sword towards the ground.

Even in this "non-wrestling" posture, Musashi was able to contend with the full power of the headquarters!

What terrifying finger strength!

Snapped!

Musashi's right arm jerked, and with only a slight movement, he used his blade to shatter the iron chain binding the copper, effortlessly breaking free from its restraints.

But just as the copper lock broke and fell to the ground...

Swish!

Suddenly, the commander stepped forward, reached into his robes, pulled out a folding pistol, and threw it out and secured it as he charged forward before thrusting it at Musashi.

Whoosh!

The spear tip pierced towards Musashi, but Musashi easily dodged it. At the same time, he swung his sword down, and a cold light fell, easily severing the spear tip.

Miyamoto Musashi was truly amazing...

This is what the headquarters thought.

I originally estimated that if your "sword skills" were out of 100 and you could score 500 points, my "short spear skills" would probably be around 70 points.

But after actually playing against him, I realized that I might not even reach 50 points!

—But I'll still go!

Through the previous test in the battle against Wu Lei'an, the headquarters had already mastered this combination of "thrust" followed by "parry" and had even improved it faster.

Swish!

The moment the spear tip was severed, the commander raised his right leg and kicked Musashi's jaw, causing Musashi's wound to bleed profusely.

boom!

Musashi was kicked hard, and his mind went blank for a moment.

At the same time, the commander pulled his right hand out of his pocket, put a brass knuckles on his fist, and aimed at Musashi's jaw to deliver another heavy punch.

Bang-!

Musashi's facial wounds, which had been targeted to the extreme by the headquarters, were now bleeding even more, and the skin was even slightly torn.

The repeated blows to his jaw left Musashi dizzy, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his head drooping.

"..."

Despite Musashi's miserable state, the headquarters' expression remained unchanged.

Mr. Musashi, the "martial arts" of today is not what was recorded in your time, the so-called "Bushido is the way to seek death."

...It's not like that anymore.

The martial arts of today are seen as a "mission" to protect oneself and other kind neighbors.

This is what protection is all about!

So even if your head is already a complete mess, I'm still going to deliver the final blow...

The commander drew a "Kaito" short sword, held it in his left hand, and stepped closer to the unconscious Miyamoto Musashi kneeling on the ground.

But the next moment—

Whoosh!

Musashi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly swung his sword horizontally, slashing the blade of the "Yakuri" sword and also cutting into the abdomen of the head of the headquarters behind him.

It turns out that Musashi was not completely unconscious; he was merely kneeling to wait for his superiors to approach before unleashing a fatal horizontal slash!

Whoosh!

In an instant, the short sword was cut in two, and a bloody gash appeared on the abdomen of the main body, with bright red blood staining the shirt.

The headquarters has been hit!

Chapter 687 The Valiant Old Hero - Honbu Izo!

It's hit...

The onlookers, amazed by Motobu Izo's series of surprise attacks, all thought, "Well done! That's how it should be done!"

It hit me...!

Miyamoto Musashi held the sword in his right hand and slashed horizontally from right to left, cutting through the "Yokotsu" short sword and also slicing open the abdomen of the main body, causing it to bleed.

puff...

In the quiet street, people could even hear the viscous sound of the blood flowing out.

The headquarters was slashed in the abdomen!

That location—under the skin in that location—contains internal organs, intestines, and behind them, the spine; it is undoubtedly a vital part of the human body!

The vital point in the abdomen of the main body of the body was struck...!

"..."

The headquarters remained silent.

His shirt was torn at the waist, and bloodstains spread and stained along the tear.

But the main body of Izou did not fall.

……Why?

Musashi, however, had already seen through the mystery and was not too surprised. Instead, he touched the wound on his face and looked at the bloodstains in his palm.

"Wow, that was a powerful punch. It really cracked my face badly."

"My back molars are loose, and I'm still a little dizzy..."

As he spoke, Musashi tapped his head, recalling the brass knuckle duster that the headquarters had just used, which even had spikes on it to amplify its power.

Although I don't know the name of that weapon, it was truly a "powerful punch"!

"But thanks to that iron fist, I came to my senses."

"besides……"

Musashi remained kneeling, resting and recovering as he asked, "Hey, Headquarters, you were wearing 'chain armor,' weren't you?"

The so-called "chain armor" is clothing made of thin metal chains, which is a traditional protective gear that can reduce the damage from slashes to the upper body.

In the "Ako Rogue Revenge Incident," which became widely known through the period drama "Chushingura," all forty-seven righteous men who participated in the revenge wore this type of chainmail.

In the 15th year of Genroku, that is, 1703, late at night on December 14th.

Forty-seven righteous men stormed into the mansion of their arch-enemy, the Kira family. After a fierce battle, although they were all badly wounded, all forty-seven men survived.

This is the defense of the chainmail armor!

however……

Even though he was wearing chainmail, Honbu Izo was still slashed in the abdomen and bled. After a brief moment of catching his breath, he was in so much pain that he knelt down on one knee!

"hiss……"
