Swish!

Musashi stood up.

Just as he was about to regain his composure, he suddenly saw Bai Mucheng leaping forward, his left and right fists following his steps in a series of kicking punches.

—It's an extremely fast uppercut!

【DJ O Sky-Piercing Flying Blade】!

shhhhh!

Two shockwaves from the left and right, the "No-Strike" technique, rushed towards Musashi again, forcing him to step to the side, his footsteps kicking up bits of debris on the grass.

Da da da da...

The two were locked in a brief stalemate, dodging and weaving, neither giving an inch, leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the arena.

……

……

in the audience.

Such a powerful level left everyone stunned, unable to even utter a cry of surprise. They were finally brought back to their senses by a strange shout.

"Hurrlrlrl—!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was none other than the "Primal Man" Pike, who had somehow come to the audience and was sitting obediently near a familiar face.

Pique didn't seem inclined to intervene.

That "strongest father-son battle on Earth" had already reminded Piccolo of an unwritten law of nature—

When two powerful forces clash, no interference is permitted!

"..."

Tokugawa glanced at Pi Ke, then raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat before looking back at the field.

The old man wanted to laugh—he wanted to clench his fist and shout for the fight, but because he was too excited, his smile became somewhat distorted.

"This... what is this...?"

Tokugawa couldn't understand, "Am I seeing things? How can Shiraki's punches travel so 'far'!?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Haiwang and Guo Haihuang exchanged a glance.

"The following is my rudimentary understanding..."

Lie Haiwang pursed his lips and explained in a deep voice:

"Miyamoto Musashi once said that when you reach the level of 'above calligraphy,' calligraphy no longer needs a 'brush,' and the same goes for swords."

"And Shiraki Cheng's [Strike Without Strike] is based on the same principle!"

Retsukai raised his hand and gestured.

"Shiraki Sei's 'basic striking techniques' are unparalleled."

"In addition, the control over footwork, punches and kicks, moves, and even the opponent—all of these ultimately gave birth to this unique skill!"

"【No-Hit Strike】..."

"You must have heard what Mr. Dubu just said."

"Shiraki Sei's [Strike Without Strike] is actually a kind of 'pre-demonstration'."

"Because the level of skill in striking is too high, once this 'pre-demonstration' hits, it will inevitably become reality!"

As Retsukaiwang spoke, he couldn't help but frown and recall.

“Before my match against Baki Hanma, Baki had a ‘pre-match rehearsal’ against me all by himself.”

"Baki used his superhuman imagination to create a 'Retsu Kaioh' to fight, even fighting until he was covered in blood!"

"—That's a warm-up that only Baki Hanma can do!"

"And now..."

Retsukai-oh stared intently at the field, watching Shiraki Cheng unleash wave after wave of [No-Strike] shockwaves.

"What Shiramu Cheng did was to apply 'strike rehearsals' to actual combat!"

"Wow, that's amazing! I admire you even more now...!"

……

……

shhhhhh!

After several more rounds of [No-Hit Strike], Shiraki's offensive temporarily ceased, and Musashi also retreated slightly, finally able to stop.

The two were about five or six meters apart, both panting heavily.

"Well……"

Musashi smiled faintly and wiped the blood from his face.

"That's amazing."

He stared wide-eyed as he recalled, "I had just realized that 'you might hit me,' and then at the same time, you hit me, and I almost lost consciousness."

"They actually used hand-to-hand combat techniques to exceed the attack range of swords and knives?"

"Bai Mu, as a bare-handed martial artist, your [Strike Without Strike] is truly amazing!"

Musashi praised him frankly, then changed the subject, grinning broadly:

"but--"

"It is still not comparable to 'Musashi's Sword'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Musashi raised his hands, his fingers loosely clenched, holding two swords of different sizes, while his right foot stepped slightly forward.

"Humph!"

Musashi let out a muffled groan and suddenly swung his arms, making the translucent twin swords of different sizes even more conspicuous, and even producing a series of explosive sounds as they pierced the air.

Whoosh!

Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!

Neither a katana nor a tanto—this is the path that Niten Ichi-ryu has explored.

This is the beginning of the [Swordless Realm]!

……

"~~~~!?"

Even though they were some distance apart, everyone in the audience, whether experts or enthusiasts, could see everything clearly.

The peerless Miyamoto Musashi wields two invisible swords, one large and one small.

—So true!

Whether it's the cold glint of light reflecting off the blade, or the whooshing sound of the swords cutting through the air when wielded...

Everything is so real!

This is Miyamoto Musashi's "Swordless Realm"!

The invisible twin swords are no longer just an illusion; they now possess a certain "interplay of reality and illusion"!

There are also rumors that the translucent twin blades, which alternate between real and illusory forms, once pierced the skin of Yujiro Hanma, the strongest creature on earth, causing Ogre to bleed!

"..."

At this moment, Honbu Izo frowned deeply, couldn't help but gently touch his right shoulder, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

During the battle between Musashi and Yujiro, Motobu Izo suddenly jumped out and stood in front of Yujiro, taking a hit from the "No-Sword" attack.

The feeling of being slashed still terrifies Honbu Izo to this day!

Even the aramid fiber top that Jack Vanma couldn't bite through was cleaved in two by Musashi's "No-Sword" strike.

If it weren't for the "chain armor" below, my right shoulder would have been cut open on the spot!

But what made Izou of the headquarters even more nervous was...

He knew very well that Miyamoto Musashi at that time had not yet fully mastered the secrets of the "No-Sword" technique!

And what about now...!?

No, you mustn't take any chances, Brother Shiraki!

Miyamoto Musashi's current "No-Sword" technique is definitely stronger than before!

……

……

Musashi gripped two invisible swords of different sizes, his eyes fixed on the front.

Shiraki Shinichi stood sideways, pressing down with his left hand and raising his right fist to protect his ribs, meeting Musashi's gaze. He had expected this.

really……

If you want to engage in a protracted struggle with Miyamoto Musashi, the only way is a fight to the death! Only fighting and slashing!

"Hum..."

Musashi tilted his head and smiled faintly, then suddenly asked Shiraki, "What do you think of my [Swordless Realm]? Shiraki, what are your thoughts?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiraki pursed his lips and scolded, "Musashi, you're not just a swordsman, but also a calligrapher, painter, and so on, so why are you asking me?"

Musashi raised an eyebrow, feeling extremely pleased.

Bai Mucheng continued, "You said that the realm of calligraphy practice progresses from regular script to running script, then to cursive script, and finally to 'above cursive script'."

"In the end, you'll be able to write on walls, waterfalls, and even the sky, and you won't need a pen anymore."

“You also said that ‘the two are interconnected, and the same applies to the sword, so one can reach the ‘state of no sword’.
