I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

However, Chen En's strength is superior.

His physical abilities were superior to Okita Souji's. With the enhancement of his super-intuitive state brought by the Cassandra Ring, his swordsmanship skills directly transformed from being between intermediate and advanced to being between advanced and top-level.

They also had the upper hand in terms of swordsmanship skills.

It's normal that Okita Souji's first strike wouldn't be able to achieve its full potential.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

In the instant the fight began, Okita Souji realized something.

Swordsmanship, this enemy is worth fighting.

The opponent's swordsmanship seemed full of flaws, but in reality, it possessed a strange wildness.

It was as if they were fighting entirely on their instincts.

He didn't need to know which direction he would attack next; he only needed to move his body, and his body would move his bamboo sword to appear in the direction of Okita Souji's attack.

What an exceptionally brilliant mind!

The many members of the kendo club around them couldn't help but cheer for the two's match.

They initially thought Chen En's words were too arrogant.

However, as Chen En and Okita Souji have been fighting for a longer period of time, they are still evenly matched, and Okita Souji has even been slightly pushed back. This shows that although Chen En is arrogant, he has real strength.

Therefore, they cheered for Chen En without any regard for sectarianism.

However, after a brief exchange of more than ten rounds between the two sides...

Okita Souji couldn't help but retreat, his hands gripping the bamboo sword trembling slightly.

It's not that his swordsmanship skills were insufficient to rival Chen En's.

Although Chen En's performance was very high thanks to his super intuition, his actual swordsmanship skills still need improvement. Therefore, the two were actually evenly matched in terms of swordsmanship skills.

But this guy's strength level is just too high.

Okita Souji could sense the power hidden within that body, a power capable of easily cutting through a bamboo sword.

Every time he fought Chen En, he used techniques to deflect the direction of his bamboo sword to avoid breaking it, which would result in both of their swords being damaged and the fight turning into unarmed combat.

Okita Souji's intuition told him that he couldn't fight Chen En hand-to-hand.

Otherwise, he felt he might actually be humiliated and beaten to a pulp, just like Hattori Heiji had said.

"Hey, hey, hey, you said you'd fight me bare-handed from the start..."

"Could it be because you're stronger with your bare hands than with weapons?"

Okita Souji twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat astonished.

He did recall a classic figure in this regard.

That was Li Shuwen, the most famous Bajiquan master in the Chinese martial arts world in Japan.

Legend has it that if Li Shuwen loses his Bajiquan spear, he will immediately use the even more terrifying Bajiquan to deliver him from his slumber. Therefore, he is known as the "Steel Fist Unmatched, Divine Spear Li Shuwen".

I thought Li Shuwen only knew how to use a gun, but he was taken down by a single punch at close range. Otherwise, how could he be called "Unrivaled"?

"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't hold back and will give it my all."

"Take a look, this is mine..."

"Nameless Fifth Strike!"

Chapter 1257 Nothing More Than This, A Brick Flies with Great Strength

The moment Okita Souji uttered those words, Chen En's superhuman intuition immediately sensed a threat.

The nameless five-stage thrust attack, modified from the signature technique of the first Okita Souji, came down. To outsiders, it was just a bamboo sword making a single cut, but at this moment it struck down from five directions at the same time.

The first three strikes were powerful and heavy, characteristic of the fierce and brutal style of the late Edo period during the time of the first Okita Souji.

Even though the first Okita Souji was physically weak, there were very few swordsmen in that era who could withstand those three strikes. However, for Okita Souji VI, this was just a facade.

But this deception was enough to make even the most skilled swordsmen drop their bamboo swords.

Chen En brandished his bamboo sword and effortlessly blocked the first three strikes. The last two strikes were aimed directly at his shoulder; these were the last two strikes of the modified Nameless Five-Stage Thrust.

The goal is both shoulders.

Unlike the first Okita Souji, the current Okita Souji does not want to kill.

Therefore, these two strikes were only aimed at the person's shoulder, with the goal of disarming the opponent by hitting the shoulder, thus preventing them from gripping the bamboo sword and further securing victory in the kendo match.

However, the angles of those two strikes were extremely tricky, and Okita Souji's strength was extraordinary.

Therefore, if not controlled properly, a knife strike to the shoulder could potentially lead to spinal problems.

The last time Hattori Heiji sparred with Okita Souji, he was once again sent to the hospital by Okita Souji's move. This was because Okita Souji got carried away and hit too hard, slashing twice and causing Hattori Heiji's spine to be damaged.

If Okita Souji really wanted to kill someone.

Both of those stabs were aimed directly at the person's neck.

Even a bamboo knife is enough to break a person's spine.

However, Chen En blocked the last two blows directly.

Just as Okita Souji's physique is different from that of ordinary people, Chen En's physique is also different from that of ordinary people. This is something that ordinary people cannot react to at all, and may even hit the shoulder and lose strength instantly, or even injure the spine with two stabs.

For Chen En, who possesses an extraordinary physique, it was no big deal.

That's why he dared to say he wouldn't wear any protective gear when he challenged Okita Souji.

Although he didn't think that Okita Souji's last five slashes would cause him any real physical damage, he still used his superhuman intuition to block them.

This final move caused the upper halves of both bamboo swords to fly out simultaneously.

Okita Souji looked at the bamboo sword in Chen En's hand, which was now only half-broken, with some surprise. He then looked down at his own bamboo sword, which was also only half-broken. His face showed no anger or other negative expression.

All that remained were expressions of surprise and joy.

"You're really amazing."

"I have never met anyone who could block my combo head-on."

He tossed the broken bamboo knife aside.

The kendo club member next to them, as if waking from a dream, quickly came between the two and said something.

The outcome is decided!

Seeing this, Chen En didn't say much. He simply let go of the bamboo sword in his hand and let it fall to the ground. He didn't really want to fight Okita Souji in a free-fighting style.

Now that Okita Souji is willing to have a proper talk with him, there is no need to communicate through physical means.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji also jumped up and came to Chen En's side.

He stroked his chin, examining the four bamboo swords on the ground. Then he looked up at Okita Souji, and then turned to look at Chen En. After switching his perspective back and forth between the two, he leaned close to Chen En's ear and asked curiously.

"How did you manage to counter Okita's killing move?"

Hearing this, Chen En glanced at Hattori Heiji and then said.

“Okita’s Five-Stage Thrust just now was a simultaneous five-slash attack, but because of the speed, it looked like only one slash.”

"You managed to withstand the first three stabs, but then you were hospitalized after being stabbed twice more."

"It's actually quite simple to deal with this kind of deadly move."

Upon hearing this, both Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji became interested.

Could it be that Chen En has some unique trick to counter this deadly move?

Chen En said earnestly.

"If you're fast enough, you can block both attacks at the same time."

Hattori Heiji, Okita Souji:?

Do people say that?

Why don't you just say you're so strong you can fly bricks?

At this moment, Chen En continued.

"And I have another way to crack it."

"It's also based on speed and power."

"Mr. Okita, would you like to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Okita Souji raised his eyebrows and immediately nodded.

He said it without any hesitation.

"Alright, I'd like to try out what kind of method you're talking about, which is based on strength and speed."

Without saying a word, he asked a member next to him to bring him a new wooden sword, and then distanced himself again.

The next moment, he spoke again.

"Watch out, this is my next killer move."

"Nameless Five..."

Before he could finish speaking, he looked down at his hands in surprise.

His hands, which were holding the knife, were suddenly grabbed by the wrists and forcibly separated, rendering the wooden knife ineffective.

"This is another way of cracking it that I was talking about."

"Your moves are indeed very powerful, but I can solve everything by preventing you from using them."

This is what Chen En, a martial artist with a practical approach to combat, said.

This event is also recorded in "Hanma Baki".

When Tokugawa revived the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, Yujiro Hanma challenged Miyamoto Musashi to a duel. At that time, Miyamoto Musashi was about to use the Niten Ichi-ryu technique when Yujiro Hanma grabbed Miyamoto Musashi's hands.
