Being kind to the enemy on the battlefield is irresponsible for your own life.
Originally, with the Kuki brothers in charge, there were not many men in black suits who came here to capture Toufu Maki, and they were divided into two groups, so there were only about ten people present at this time.
Perhaps if they were in a more spacious place, these ten or so people could still cause some trouble to Uesugi Kiyoshi, but in such a narrow alley, it was extremely difficult to launch a siege.
Even if they blocked the street, Uesugi Kiyoshi could only face four people at the same time.
He was not afraid at all. He pushed hard with his feet and shot backwards with the reaction force. At the same time, he exerted force with his waist and his body spun in the air like a top. The bright knife flashed, and the two men in black suits behind him had no time to defend themselves. They both had half of their heads cut off by his knife. Their lifeless bodies fell to the ground like rag bags, splashing turbid water. The white brain matter and the freely flowing blood spread in the rain, adding a hideous and bloody color to this narrow alley.
Strictly speaking, this was Uesugi Kiyoshi's first time killing someone; he had only killed demons before.
But he didn't show any discomfort.
Because he had seen too many illusions of ghosts and gods, disgusting and bloody scenes, as for the guilt of killing people - that kind of thing did not exist in his heart.
If I don't kill you, am I waiting for you to kill me?
He quickly turned around and slashed to eliminate the threat behind him. Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around, holding the sword in both hands, raised it high, made a big upper-level stance, and rushed forward with the sword without hesitation.
When you are facing a large number of enemies alone, you must not simply defend.
That would make it easy for you to be killed by the enemies who keep coming one after another. The best tactic to fight one against many is to attack with all your might, reduce the number of enemies, use offense instead of defense, make good use of self-sacrifice skills, and exchange injuries for lives when necessary.
This was the teaching of Hidekawa Kamiizumi, and Uesugi Kiyoshi kept it in mind.
He lowered his knees and exerted force, his steps were compact and his stance was steady, using the "Thunder Blade" of the New Yin Style.
There are many kinds of thunder swords in the New Yin Style, including the Xiang Lei Sword, Hou Lei Sword, Xu Lei Sword and Wai Lei Sword. Adding all together, it is estimated that there are nearly a hundred types.
In fact, the principle is very simple. The so-called Thunder Blade is nothing more than starting with the upper part of the structure, occupying the center line, and inflicting a slash on the enemy like a violent storm and thunder.
The reason why there are so many variations is that we have to take the opponent's response into consideration and make different changes, so there are many complex situations and corresponding sword moves.
Generally speaking, the core of Thunder Blade is the word "Thunder".
Thunder falls from the sky. The upper-level sword structure falls from the sky and suppresses the enemy from top to bottom.
Thunder, like a raging storm, has unparalleled momentum and is the ultimate in speed. Accordingly, the thunder sword must be swift and continuous.
Uesugi Kiyotsuji is very good at using the thunder sword. His basic skills are very solid, and his sword moves are fast, accurate and steady.
Most of those in black suits were holding short swords and wakizashi, and they were completely defenseless against Uesugi Kiyoshi's thunder sword.
The blades clashed, and even some sparks flew, which quickly went out in the rainstorm. He blocked two daggers and slashed horizontally, knocking down two men. Then he shook the sword and cut lightly, blocking the sword of the third man. He followed up with a straight slash down the center, killing another person.
Men in black suits fell one after another like moths to a flame. Uesugi Kiyomi was steady, and his sword was even steadier, like a wildly burning flame, devouring the lives of the moths.
He took a step back to avoid the fatal attack of two wakizashi. Uesugi Kiyoshi changed the momentum of his sword, crouched down and slashed horizontally, ripped open the two men in black suits. Then he stepped forward and pushed the two seriously injured enemies aside. He adjusted his sword momentum and swung the sword again without retreating.
Dancing in the flash of swords, fighting for life in the rain of blood, the swords and knives dance like brilliant fireworks, and every time they bloom, souls fly away and lives fall.
When the space in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly became empty, he suddenly realized that he had killed everyone in the alley.
Behind him was a pile of broken limbs and a twitching and struggling figure in a black suit. The rain could not wash away the blood on the ground, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword had been bent.
No one could withstand the sword. After only a few steps and a few seconds, there were dead souls everywhere.
Uesugi Qing exhaled a breath, made a handsome blood-shaking movement, shook off the blood on the sword, slightly raised his head, stared at the remaining enemy, and revealed a somewhat unique and warm smile.
"Should I say that you are worthy of being a mystic who has surrendered to the devil? You really have no mercy on the lives of your subordinates."
"You are a smart man. The nodachi can be used in single combat in a street fight like this, but it is not suitable for siege. So you want to exchange your subordinates' lives for the opportunity to observe the flaws in my swordsmanship?"
"Ha, are you that afraid of me?!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi roared out the last sentence, his eyes instantly became fierce, and his smile also had a bit of hideousness.
As if he had poured out all the frustration from the murder he had just committed, he licked his lips, his hand hanging down, holding the knife. His smile was silent but chilling.
Exhaling a puff of white air, Uesugi Kiyoshi's voice became low, but with a sense of solemn oppression.
"So, did you see anything? My flaw?"
Kuki Aka finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse and strange, like the friction between two pieces of rusty iron, which was a bit disgusting.
"Ichito-ryu's Qiluo, Shinkage-ryu's Thunder Blade and Qiluo, Duodao's Wudao-tak, Juxiangwuwai-ryu's Sword Drawing Technique, if I'm not mistaken, it's Funeral Blade and Water Moon Sensing, what's that Sword Turning Slash? Could it be the long-lost Fushe Sword?"
Kuki Aka was quite an expert and described all of Uesugi Kiyoshi's moves in detail.
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded slightly.
"Oh, you have a lot of knowledge."
"Each school's swordsmanship is different, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. It's useless to just look at it with your eyes. The real winner can only be known after fighting."
“This is what my master taught me.”
Kuki Aka held his sword in his hand, ready for battle, his face solemn.
"Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. You are right."
"What about you? What are you good at?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kuki Aka, then he put away the rolled sword in his hand, held it at his waist, and assumed the starting stance of Iai.
He smiled indifferently, his tone was calm and his eyes were unperturbed.
“I know a little bit of everything.”

Chapter 61: Evil Must Be Killed
Uesugi Kiyoshi rarely boasted, even when facing his enemies.
The so-called kendo is to draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other instances. He dare not say that he knows all the ancient kendo styles of Japan by heart, but at least he is familiar with the basic structure of Shinkage-ryu, Ittoryu and Shinto-ryu based on it.
What he lacked was enough actual combat experience to allow him to integrate the sword skills he had mastered into battle and thus elevate his swordsmanship to a new level.
Once this step is completed, he will probably be worthy of being called a "swordsman".
He didn't waste any time talking to Kuki Aka. The big guy was just stalling for time, and he was not a fool, so of course he could see that.
Although I don't know what he is waiting for, I can't let him get what he wants.
Now, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kuki Aka are only five steps apart, which is truly within reach, and is also the area of life and death where swordsmen decide the outcome.
Just at this moment, in the midst of a heavy storm, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky of Tokyo, as if dividing the entire sky into two distinct halves. Immediately afterwards, continuous thunder exploded in the sky.
Uesugi Kiyoshi only felt a sudden impulse, and his murderous intent and sword power had reached their peak.
The next second, he bent down without hesitation and attacked with an Iai style.
He used the most orthodox Iai style - Hayashi Myojin Dream Style.
The founder of the sword-drawing technique, Hayashizaki Jinsuke, created it specifically for assassination purposes and is extremely good at defeating the strong with the weak. It is a fierce Iaijutsu that can chop off the opponent's head before he draws his sword.
Hayashi-ryu's sword-drawing technique was derived from Kashima Shinto-ryu, which is a very simple sword technique that emphasizes the pure "one-strike kill" approach.
Based on this foundation, Hayashizaki Jinsuke practiced day after day for more than ten years, and finally by chance, he realized a "sword technique of stabbing one's own shadow", which was the prototype of Hayashi's sword-drawing technique.
Drawing the sword and attacking are integrated, giving the enemy the upper hand and making you invincible.
The key point is just one thing - fast!
Uesugi Kiyoashi arrived with the sound of thunder, the sword light was faster than the lightning in the sky, he drew his sword with a stunning slash, cutting off the rain curtain in front of him, and with unparalleled sharpness, he slashed towards Kuki Aka's waist and abdomen.
Drawing a sword to cut off water can also take a person's life.
Because of his height, Uesugi Kiyoshi chose to attack the waist and abdomen. If the blow was too strong, the person would be cut in half. Not to mention a mere mystic, even a ghost or god would have no chance of survival.
Kuki Aka did not stand there in a daze. He was already in a state of alert. After catching sight of Uesugi Kiyoshi's actions, he hurriedly swung his wild sword horizontally in an attempt to parry Uesugi Kiyoshi's attack.
As soon as his wild sword was raised an inch, Uesugi Kiyoshi's Bizen sword had already chopped his bright red suit into pieces, and he continued to advance with undiminished momentum.
The expected bloody scene did not happen.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart. Without waiting for Kuki Aka to turn from defense to offense, he took the lead in withdrawing, retreating seven or eight steps, standing in place and glancing at the katana in his hand.
The blade, which was already a little curled, was now covered with several gaps of varying sizes.
The body of Kuki Aka seemed to be made of gold and iron. Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's Iai sword slash was too focused on speed and thus reduced some of the power, it was definitely enough to cut a man in black suit in half, making him die beyond death.
But this attack only cut Kuki Aka's suit and didn't even cut his skin.
His own sword was badly damaged. With a sword damaged to this extent, it could only make one more cut before being declared scrapped.
Although Yokotano was thick-skinned and tough at the time, an ordinary boning knife could still cause physical damage to him.
But the defense of the Kuki Aka in front of him made Uesugi Kiyoshi a little difficult to deal with.
Uesugi Kiyoshi even suspected that ordinary rifle shooting might not be able to defeat Kuki Aka.
He tightly gripped the sword in his hand and sighed softly.
"If I had a good knife"
If he had a famous sword that could cut through gold and jade, this one move of Iai would be enough to secure the victory, so that this wonderful blow would not be wasted.
You said why the ancestor of the Dongwen family left behind a reverse-edged sword. Using a reverse-edged sword is not as simple as "using the sword upside down". To use a reverse-edged sword, you have to use swordsmanship specially designed for it, otherwise it will be difficult to hit people with its blade. Uesugi Kiyomi really doesn't know this kind of swordsmanship.
Otherwise, with the sharpness of the reverse blade ship, it would probably be enough to cause harm to Kuki Aka.
Kuki Aka was slashed with a knife, but was not hurt at all, but he did not underestimate Uesugi Kiyoshi at all.
Uesugi Kiyoshi thinks that Kuki Aka is a "mystic".
actually not.
This is the "extra money" that Dong Wenyu asked for from the ghosts and gods.
Kuki Aka and Kuki Ao who were in the tea room yesterday are already dead. The one standing here now is not the leader of the Double Ghost Group, but just a ghost in human skin.
There are two ways for ghosts and gods to return to the mortal world, namely "taking over another's body" and "descending".
The current Kuki Red and Kuki Blue are the Red Demon and Blue Demon that have taken over their bodies. They are the "ghost clan" active in Japanese folk tales and possess true ghost and god powers.
They devoured the memories of Kuki Red and Kuki Ao, took over their bodies, and came to the mortal world with their own powers. It was their mission to capture the much-needed sacrifice for their master.
That's why Kuki Aka is so afraid of Uesugi Kiyoshi - as a ghost god, he possesses extremely powerful physical strength and bones of steel that are difficult for mortals to hurt. He also has countless moves and life-and-death combat experience that he has witnessed in his long life, but the swordsmanship that directly kills and the spiritual level is his biggest nemesis.
He still remembered the tragic scene of Yokotano's death, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.
However, the battle had already begun, and there was no way to retreat now. Kuki Aka was no longer timid. He let out a low shout, and swung the heavy sword in his hand as if it were nothing, and slashed towards Uesugi Kiyoshi with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
