Super Fighting Tokyo.

"Both sides seized each other's 'starting moment'..."

"Sensing each other's aura, reading each other's mind in the instant before they 'resolve to charge forward'!"

The headquarters staff watched intently, then suddenly said, "Kaiya."

Kaeya, the Earth God, standing behind him, was taken aback. "Teacher, please speak...?"

The headquarters remarked, "You possess a talent that I lack: the ability to perceive the 'first step'."

Kaiya was a little taken aback by the praise and quickly said, "You, the headmaster, also—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by headquarters.

"Are you mocking me, you idiot?"

The headquarters said helplessly, "I can only 'read'—but it's just 'reading' based on experience; it can't penetrate into my mind at all."

The headquarters paused for a moment.

"And what Shiraki Jo and Miyamoto Musashi are doing now..."

"It's an intense struggle within themselves, before the 'idea' even arises, that they themselves are unaware of!"

"However, although it sounds exaggerated, the situation on the field is actually not much different, and what needs to be done is still the same."

……

……

Bai Mucheng stood sideways, his left hand outstretched and pressed down, while his right fist was loosely clenched and pressed against his chest to protect his ribs.

Musashi remained in a "weak" stance, like a portrait, with his loosely clenched hands hanging naturally, and his invisible twin swords flashing.

Musashi's eyes widened, and he calmly said, "From now on, it's time for the 'Mind-Reading Duel'..."

Shiramu Cheng's breathing gradually stabilized: "Not bad, excellent..."

"..."

At this point, the two fell into a brief silence, simultaneously entering a 0.5-second comparative phase!

Their brains send signals 0.5 seconds before they become "conscious," and these signals are keenly picked up by the other party, prompting them to try to act one step ahead of the other.

It refers to a duel between sword masters, a battle of wits between experts...

Ode!

【Charge with Fighting Spirit】!

Shiraki Cheng lunged forward, instantly sliding to Musashi's front. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Musashi grabbed Shiraki Cheng's left wrist with his right hand.

Swish!

Musashi intends to perform a throw.

Shiraki pushed off the ground and twisted his waist, using the same "throwing technique" to twist his left wrist, causing Musashi to lose his grip and ultimately be forced to let go.

Snapped!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Mucheng unleashed a flurry of punches from both hands.

[Luke's Triple Impact]!

Bang bang bang!

Musashi calmly raised his hand to block the heavy left and right hooks, which exploded with a series of loud bangs and created ripples in the air.

"Drink!"

Bai Mucheng pulls his right foot back and pushes off the ground, while his left elbow strikes upward, a technique known as the Muay Thai elbow strike.

【Sagat O Tiger Rock】!

Snapped!

Musashi raised his left hand to block, and with a crisp sound, his entire right arm was sent flying upwards.

At the same time, Musashi continued his movements, his left hand making a loose grip, and with the [No-Sword] technique, he slashed horizontally at Shiraki's neck, intending to decapitate him.

"—!!"

Bai Mucheng acted decisively, lowering his center of gravity and raising his arms to strengthen his defense.

【Marisa O Rome Tower Shield】!

puff!

Musashi's left hand, without a sword, struck Shiraki's right forearm, cutting a small gash in the skin that was about to spread horizontally.

Bai Mucheng bared his teeth and growled, simultaneously bringing his fists and elbows together and swinging his arms forward with great force.

【Roman Tower Shield - Thunder】!

Bang!

He slammed his fists into Musashi's face, causing Musashi's nose to bleed and his eyes to glaze over.

But at the same time—

Musashi's raised right hand had already grasped the translucent "No-Sword" and was about to slash at Shiraki.

A downward slash shattered the sky and earth!

Whoosh!

Because Musashi was hit, Shiraki was able to dodge to the side and avoid the terrifying blow.

But the next second—

Swish!

Musashi clenched his left fist and slashed down with astonishing speed, smashing it down from above like a hammer onto Shiraki's face.

Bang!

With a heavy hammer blow, Shiroki Cheng coughed up blood from his mouth and nose, and large patches of bright red blood splattered like a waterfall, making him look even more miserable than Musashi!

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

And in this intense pain and crisis—

Boom!

Shiramu Cheng stamped his foot and stood up, his killing intent surging and distorting the space around him. Through the blood and tears in his eyes, he stared intently at Miyamoto Musashi.

shhhhh!

Shiraki Cheng delivered two light punches in quick succession.

This was done to set a trap for Musashi, to disrupt his judgment, and to prepare for his attack.

then……

Shiraki presented himself, everyone watching, and Miyamoto Musashi with a gift that truly deserved the word "ultimate".

One strike can transform into a thousand, and a thousand strikes into one.

Hence the name—

[A Thousand Strikes in a Moment]!

Chapter 717 [A Thousand Strikes in an Instant]

One strike can transform into a thousand, and a thousand strikes into one...

[A Thousand Strikes in a Moment]!

Bang!

Facing the glaring, blood-spurting Miyamoto Musashi, Shiraki Cheng's movements froze instantly.

He clenched his fists loosely and pressed down, leaned his body slightly forward, bent his knees slightly, and shifted his weight to the soles of his feet, his body exploding with black smoke-like fighting spirit.

A surge of murderous intent!

Ode!

Bai Mucheng pushes off the ground with his right foot, lifts his left knee, raises his arms to his sides, and slides forward along the ground.

Its forward speed is faster than the limit of what the naked eye can perceive!

In that instant, all that remained in everyone's sight was a plume of black smoke rushing straight toward Musashi, leaving behind several dark afterimages.

The crimson light in their eyes connected into lines in mid-air!

The sound of something cutting through the air was like the roar of a tiger!

唬！

Shiraki Shigekatsu rushed to Miyamoto Musashi's side.

Musashi, who had just been struck by Shiraki's double fists, opened his eyes and saw Shiraki charging towards him. He immediately slashed forward.

Whoosh!

The blade flashed with a cold light, but the strike missed its mark.

The moment he rushed in front of Musashi, Shiraki Shō's figure exploded and dissipated.

"—!?"

The swordsman knew that Bai Mucheng had avoided his attack by using his footwork and dodging movements.

But at this moment, what the swordsman saw was Bai Mucheng turning into a cloud of black smoke, spreading in all directions and completely engulfing him!

dark……?

Musashi couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that Bai Mucheng's "killing intent" has become so intense...?

No no no no...
