Upon hearing this, Musashi couldn't help but shake her head shyly, "Oh my, you remembered all of that..."

Bai Mucheng suddenly changed the subject.

"But... in the end, the realm 'above the sword' is not entirely about swords, nor is it limited to the realm of 'no sword'."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Musashi found it amusing and laughed heartily, "Shiraki, you even understand the principles of swordsmanship? Then tell me, what else do you know?"

Bai Mucheng lowered his center of gravity slightly, "You don't know? Then come and ask me!"

Musashi gladly accepted.

His expression froze, and his whole body suddenly went limp. He used the release of strength to allow his body to fall, thereby gaining acceleration and generating power through his heels.

Swish!

Musashi charged forward, closing in on Shiraki, holding both large and small [blades] in his hands, aiming at Shiraki's vital points.

At the same moment—

"brake!"

Bai Mucheng stomped his feet and stood firmly in his stance, but his semi-transparent arms were already swinging out, delivering a series of left and right hooks.

Guile O Sonic Chop!

Swish!

The shockwave, styled after military combat techniques, was used as a "pre-strike rehearsal" to launch a series of fierce attacks on Musashi, attempting to exploit his weaknesses.

However, during his charge, Musashi suddenly slashed diagonally with his left hand, using the "No-Sword" technique to break through the "Sonic Hand Blade".

Once Shiraki rushes forward, Musashi's left hand, which is without a sword, will indeed hit Shiraki with a "Kesa-giri"!

Become!

In the blink of an eye, Musashi had already rushed in front of Shiraki, making the most of the length of the [No-Sword] blade.

As Musashi's left hand fell, his right hand, without a sword, slashed down from above, aiming for Shiraki Sho's neck.

But in the next instant—

Bai Mucheng also landed, then stomped his feet on the ground, propelling himself up to throw a powerful right uppercut.

【Rising Dragon Fist】!

Pushing off the ground, sinking the waist, stepping, and thrusting the hips—the movements are all done in one smooth motion.

While dodging the [bladeless] slash, he also delivered a powerful right punch to Musashi's abdomen.

Boom!

The powerful blow sent Musashi's shirt flying, his abdominal muscles visibly deformed, and he was sent flying by the punch!

"Drink!"

boom!

Musashi coughed up blood, his eyes rolled back, and he was thrown two or three meters off the ground before crashing heavily to the ground.

poof...

Musashi landed, and Shiraki Shōya also gained a foothold at the same time.

...Do you understand now?

Shiraki was still panting heavily and didn't speak, but he was certain that Musashi understood.

The realm of "no sword" or "no strike" are both realms—they are part of one's own existence, not the whole, so they must be "used"!

This is what Shiraki Sei thought...

No matter how high your skill level is, it would be a great pity to only have one move in battle, and it would make your skills sad and tearful.

So, regardless of your skill level, use it to your heart's content!

Anticipate your opponent's movements, use the Hadouken at long range, and the Shoryuken at close range!

Restrain and pull, wait for the right moment to strike; all kinds of skills, all at my command, all at my choice!

— This is also how you can use the "No-Hit Strike" skill!

Chapter 715 Crossing the Waves

Pfft!

Musashi was struck in the abdomen by the Rising Dragon, and flew two or three meters into the air before crashing heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

"~~~~!"

He lay on his back, his tiger-like eyes wide open, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his hands and feet twitching and struggling.

"Ugh..."

Musashi swayed and barely managed to turn over, clutching his abdomen with his left hand and kneeling with his right hand on the ground, blood cascading down his face like a waterfall.

Drizzling...

That appearance was truly tragic!

Is this a feigned injury? Or is it yet another despicable sneak attack in preparation?

unimportant.

Because Shiraki had no intention of pursuing Musashi at all, but was waiting for Musashi to get back on his feet, while he was also taking the opportunity to recover his strength!

More importantly, Musashi did indeed spit out a torrent of blood; this was not a faking.

Being struck in the abdomen by that powerful "Rising Dragon" punch, and even being thrown two or three meters away, would inevitably injure even Musashi's well-trained body!

—Shiraki Cheng broke through the [No-Sword]'s attack and struck Miyamoto Musashi once again!

……

……

The audience cheered enthusiastically.

"You hit it again!"

"Miyamoto Musashi was one move behind!"

"Shiraki Cheng has found Musashi's weakness!"

"Shiraki Cheng won!"

"..."

Objectively speaking, the cheers of the crowd were not inappropriate, after all, Musashi was indeed spitting blood from his mouth and nose, and had been beaten very badly.

The result was correct, but the "process" was not so simple.

No, Shiraki Cheng seized upon Musashi's weakness...

It's not that simple!

[Martial Saint] Shechuan, with a fierce air, crossed his arms and pursed his lips, asking himself:

How many people in this Tokyo Dome could have discerned the "prerequisite" for that punch?

"..."

[Ashura] Tokita Ohma watched intently, his eyes wide, "The attack was stopped! They really did it..."

Baki Hanma pursed his lips and nodded:

"Yes, although if we only look at the result, it was just dealing with Musashi's charge and throwing a counter-attack hook, but the actual situation was different."

Just how difficult is it to launch a preemptive counterattack against Musashi's attack?

"..."

Behind the two, Mr. Unchain Bisket Oliva said in a deep voice:

Thor Noretlandas wrote a book called *User Illusion: The Illusion Called Consciousness*, in which he wrote:

"Consciousness will be delayed by 0.5 seconds."

"—This is how the brain starts up."

"..."

Beside him, [Martial God] Yudi Dubu added: "The so-called 'starting' in martial arts refers to the initial movement when making a move."

"The common sense that the brain gives commands and then the body performs actions is wrong."

"From the moment a signal is sent unconsciously to the moment the brain consciously issues a command, it takes 0.5 seconds for the command to reach the body."

"In that 0.5 seconds, I am completely unaware of anything, without exception!"

"Even if someone makes a move against you, you will be unable to react."

Doppo squinted his left eye, staring intently at the two people on the field.

"Whether it's a 'cowboy drawing his gun' or a 'samurai duel,' they are both extreme situations where a single blow can determine victory, and they are reading each other's 'brain activation'!"

"..."

At this moment, on the other side, [Demon Spear] Kuroki Gensai also nodded and spoke.

"Mmm!"

"What Shiraki Cheng did was to use the 'No-Hit Strike' from a distance, and the 'Rising Hook' at close range—the principle is very simple."

"But the key is to use the right move at the right time!"

"Easier said than done..."

"..."
