The blade entered his palm, and his body arched. A tremendous force came out from his tiger's mouth, causing the unsharpened sword to begin to swing. If it were an ordinary person, his tiger's mouth would probably become numb, and he would not be able to hold the sword, and it would slip out of his hand.

But. This opponent holds the sword very steadily.

It was so steady that Uesugi Kiyoshi failed to snatch the weapon as he wished.

His brows raised, and his interest grew.

This kind of strength must belong to someone who has stepped into the realm of transcendence, and the sword is held so steadily that he must be a swordsman who has received systematic training. Many schools of ancient sword-fighting are old-fashioned and advocate "the sword is as long as the person is". It is harder than climbing to the sky to snatch the sword from those swordsmen.

When the first strike failed, Uesugi Kiyoshi immediately changed his tactics. He withdrew one hand, turned it into a palm, and slapped the sword horizontally. At the same time, he exerted force with his feet and crashed into the arms of the man.

He turned his other hand into a fist and hit the tiger's mouth that was holding the sword. He immediately stepped down and sent the force to his waist and body, and then to his shoulders and elbows, while he shouted loudly in a low voice.

Tieshankao is the most powerful move among Bajiquan.

The man seemed to react quickly as well, he turned sideways and tried to dodge, but it was too late - Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped forward and bumped into the figure, who immediately rushed out like a cannonball, with a sharp sound of wind, and crashed into the yard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi used up a third of his strength, otherwise this guy would have to be sent to the ICU if he didn't die.

Even so, the man was gasping for breath on the ground, blood foam coming out of his mouth, and he kept covering his chest and coughing as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps forward leisurely, glanced at the man, and then his gaze turned to his wrist.

His wrist was already bruised and purple, and it was not easy for him to take Uesugi Kiyoshi's heavy punch, but even so, he did not drop the sword in his hand.

It is true that the sword is alive as long as the man is alive, and the sword dies as the man dies.

There are very few people like this nowadays.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little admiration in his heart. However, his tone did not soften and was still a little cold.

"For the sake of your swordsmanship, I'll give you three sentences. After three sentences, whether you go to the emergency room or the morgue, the result will be known."

The man who was laid on the ground by Uesugi Kiyoshi was wearing ordinary sportswear and had an extremely ordinary appearance. He could not be recognized in a crowd. He looked like an ordinary office worker, in his thirties. There were some traces of vicissitudes of life on his face. He had short hair and looked quite energetic. If I had to say something good about him, it was that he had a good figure.

At this time, he was smiling bitterly, looking up at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a complicated expression.

"Sure enough. It's not an exaggeration to defeat me within three moves."

He muttered to himself, there was no hatred or resentment in his eyes, just a little lost and frustrated.

Uesugi Kiyoshi tilted his head and uttered three words: "The first sentence."

The man suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "I said, I'm here to deliver a package, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Kiyoshi remained unmoved and said coldly, "You have one last sentence."

Seeing that the young man's expression was not fake, the middle-aged swordsman who barely supported himself to sit up frowned, thought for two seconds, and said hurriedly: "This is something given to you by Senior Kamiizumi! The leading swordsman of the Shinkage Ryu! Kamiizumi Hidekawa!"

After these words were spoken, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression finally changed slightly.

The master has been traveling for almost a month and his phone is unreachable. He hasn't contacted the master since the incident with the Dongwenhui. As a daughter, Rin Kamiizumi is heartless and not worried at all, but his beloved disciple Kiyoshi Uesugi is a little worried.

Of course, he was confident in his master's ability. It was true that he could kill gods now, but his master had done the same thing seven or eight years ago.

If there is anyone, or a ghost or god in this world who can hurt Kamiizumi Hidekawa, then his worry will be of no use.

But now, the sudden news still surprised him a little.

The swordsman on the ground stretched out his hand and pointed to a black safe placed next to Uesugi Kiyomon.

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his head doubtfully, and heard the swordsman continue to say bitterly: "I just arrived in Tokyo this morning, and I didn't have time to rest. I went to visit the dojo of Senior Kamiizumi first, but found no one there."

“I asked the neighbors and they said they haven’t seen the dojo open for a while.”

"I asked around but didn't get any useful information. Finally, I asked my friends at the Metropolitan Police Department and found out what Uesugi-kun had done recently. They told me that you were now living in a dojo in Arakawa, so I hurried over to look for you."

"I am following the orders of my master to personally deliver the important items entrusted to me by Senior Uesugi to his closed disciple, Uesugi Kiyoshi. No one other than Uesugi-kun can receive them on my behalf."

"Neither can Junior Sister A-Lin."

When he said this, Uesugi Kiyoshi actually believed it to some extent, but he still wanted to confirm it in the end.

How can someone who comes to deliver something start to attack people?

At this point, the swordsman stood up shakily and bowed reluctantly.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Yagyu Ken, the adopted son of Yagyu Teppei, the head of the Yagyu family, and also his eldest disciple!"

“This time I sent something.”

"It is the Sword Heart Seed that can awaken the swordsman to transcendence!"

Chapter 247 Gambling and Sword Heart Seed

Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils shrank, he frowned and thought for a while, then nodded quietly and extended his hand to the person on the ground.

"."

"That's a bit too harsh, Senior Brother Liu Sheng?"

After hesitantly calling out a name, Uesugi Kiyoshi simply shook hands with Yagyu Ken.

He didn't completely believe this person. He was not so naive as to believe everything he said.

But this guy can't beat him.

There is a Nodachi swordsman with Tyrannosaurus-level strength in the family, as well as the Lord of Arakawa who has guarded Arakawa for hundreds of years, and the Demon King of Oeyama is hidden in his body.

As for people like Yagyu Ken, I'm not bragging, he is not afraid even if a team of them comes.

In the fight just now, he didn't use any supernatural powers at all. He just used the strength of his physical body and didn't even use a sword.

His sword now is no longer the same as it was before.

Injecting mirage energy into the Inugami Scroll can improve Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical fitness, while injecting mirage energy into the Demon Sword Scroll can improve Uesugi Kiyoshi's understanding of the sword and his ability to use it.

Although both people hold the pen the same way, some people write in a loose manner, like a dog crawling, while others write in a vigorous manner, like pine and cypress. This can actually be regarded as a different understanding and ability to use the pen.

In short, it’s “proficiency”.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was already a genius in kendo, and with the assistance of the Demon Sword Scroll, he was even more powerful.

He was able to accurately fight with bare hands, and also find the flaws in Yagyu Ken's sword moves and take advantage of them, all thanks to his rapidly improved understanding of swordsmanship.

Thinking about it this way, Yagyu Ken's sword move just now did have some of the "cut in two with one blow" flavor of the Shinkage-ryu, but the speed was slightly slower than that of the Shinkage-ryu, but the power was much greater.

It may be a modification of Yagyu Shinkage-ryu.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Kiyoshi became more convinced of Yagyu Ken's identity. Swordsmanship cannot deceive people.

He invited everyone to sit down in the house, gave a wink to Ming Hai Shingo who was already holding a knife, and Uesugi Kiyoshi also sat down and pretended to speak casually.

"Well, Senior Brother Liu Sheng, I can understand that you came to give me something, but why do you draw your swords as soon as you meet?"

"Even though it was an unsharpened knife, it still gave me a scare."

After hearing this, Liu Shengjian's smile became even more bitter, and his face even turned a little red, as if he was embarrassed.

"This"

“Hey.”

He looked worried, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression became colder and colder. If he couldn't give him a reasonable answer, he would not be fooled so easily.

Perhaps sensing the solemn atmosphere, Liu Shengjian sighed and spoke with all his might.

"Uesugi-kun, it's like this."

"My master is also a member of the Kushokai. He attended the swordsman gathering on Mount Aso with Senior Kamiizumi. I don't need to explain the origin and relationship between the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu and Shinkage-ryu. The two swordsmen knew each other a long time ago and are very familiar with each other."

"But the relationship between them is a little hard to describe."

"Let's just say they are a pair of bickering enemies." Liu Shengjian came up with a very appropriate adjective with a guilty conscience.

"My master has a Sword Heart Seed of extremely high quality. This is something that all the seniors in the Juxiang Society know. As soon as Senior Shangquan arrived, he asked my master for this Sword Heart Seed."

"The quality of the Sword Heart Seed determines the success rate of awakening the Sword Heart and entering the extraordinary. It will also increase the clarity of the Sword Heart and reduce the intrusion of ghosts and evil ways. Therefore, a good Sword Heart Seed is worth a fortune."

"The two old friends argued for a long time and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. In the end, my master gave the Sword Heart Seed to Senior Shangquan. However, the old man was very stubborn and didn't hold back. He kept mumbling, 'Don't give my treasure to a loser. It's a waste of good things.'"

"Senior Shangquan also has a hot temper. He immediately said, "Useless? My precious disciple faced your chief and couldn't defeat him within three moves. From now on, I will avoid you!!"

"As they were talking, they started arguing. Finally, a few seniors came to mediate and the two made a bet."

"My master wants me to have a duel with Uesugi-kun to determine the winner. After all, according to what Senior Kamiizumi said, you are still young. As long as you have enough strength, I will give you this Sword Heart Seed."

“But Senior Shangquan insisted on not giving in, saying that our master looked down on him. He said, ‘I know the level of your adopted son. He has some talent, but that’s just some talent. He works hard, but hard work can’t solve all problems. No matter what method he uses, whether it’s a surprise attack or a sneak attack, as long as he can defeat Qing, I don’t want this sword heart seed. I will still do the conditions I promised you before!’”

"so."

As he spoke, Liu Shengjian lowered his head, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

Let alone defeating Uesugi Kiyoshi, he had a sword while the enemy had no sword, so he was knocked down with one move. That was because no one saw it. If it were to be spread out, the reputation of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu would probably be ruined by him.

"I'm sorry! Uesugi-kun, I didn't want my master to lose! I didn't want to lose face for Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, so I attacked! I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to win. I'll give you this Sword Heart Seed, at least my master will be proud!"

"My methods were somewhat dishonorable, and I suffered the consequences. I am truly sorry!"

This Yagyu Ken was a very honest man. He kept kneeling and bowing to apologize, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi feel a little uneasy.

He still admired such honest people, so he quickly supported Liu Shengjian and said softly: "Brother Liu Sheng, it's serious. We are just sparring. Winning or losing is a small matter. Don't hurt the harmony between the two families."

After saying that, he looked around and lowered his voice again.

"Don't worry, we are all family here, no one will gossip about us, and my master and I don't like to be in the spotlight either."

"Master has invested so much effort in me, and he has a stubborn temper, so he can't stand others saying bad things about me. I understand this. His words may have offended others, and I was a little too harsh. I apologize to you, brother, please don't take it to heart."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was ruthless to his enemy, but he could also be very careful with his friends. There was nothing wrong with his words. They moved Yagyu Ken to the point of almost crying, and it seemed that the wound in his chest didn't hurt anymore.

"."

"Hey, this little injury is nothing."

"Junior Brother Uesugi - I am being too arrogant to call you Junior Brother."

"I was adopted by my master when I was four years old, started learning swordsmanship when I was six, and entered the supernatural realm when I was twelve. This year, I am thirty-four years old."

"After decades of hard work, I have also earned a little fame in the kendo circle. To be honest, when Senior Shangquan said to me that you can knock me down in three moves, I was also angry."

"If this were said by Senior Shangquan himself, I would have nothing to say, but it is a bit too contemptuous of him to think that a disciple of his who has only taught for a few years can easily defeat me."

"It's true that there are always people better than you. Reality really gave me a slap in the face. You didn't even use a sword."
