Chapter 1465 - 1463: Trickery
Miura Shinichiro cast a deep glance at Yang Chen.
Perhaps previously, due to Yang Chen’s bluffing, Miura Shinichiro had some apprehensions, but now it seemed he had no reason to worry at all.
Perhaps Yang Chen was unaware that Imano Genso, whom he left as a spokesperson to build his reputation, had secretly gathered a lot of intelligence on him and betrayed him completely!
Observing Yang Chen’s self-satisfied demeanor, Miura Shinichiro laughed heartily and declared, "Today! I shall kill you!"
Yang Chen smiled slightly, "Let’s see if you have the skill!"
Miura Shinichiro made his move!
From the moment he moved, both Imano Genso and Yang Chen had a flicker of hidden delight in their eyes.
Because from the instant Miura Shinichiro attacked, he was already at a disadvantage.
One Mirror Style, their combat method involves using the opponent’s techniques to confuse them, causing their psychological defenses to collapse, thereby revealing weaknesses and defeating them with their own moves.
Now Miura Shinichiro discarded his advantage by attacking first, putting himself at a disadvantage.
Ding!
Yang Chen raised his hand and blocked Miura Shinichiro’s attack.
He smiled slightly and said, "It seems, you don’t really have the skill!"
"Humph! Overestimating yourself!" Miura Shinichiro snorted coldly, applying force with his hand.
Swish!
A cold gleam flashed.
The katana in Miura Shinichiro’s hand flickered from a cunning angle, aiming towards Yang Chen’s neck.
Yang Chen immediately raised his hand to block.
However, the katana in Miura Shinichiro’s hand bizarrely flickered again, straight towards Yang Chen’s heart!
Yang Chen’s pupils constricted, his figure blurred, quickly dodging away!
He looked at Miura Shinichiro with some surprise.
It’s strange!
So strange!
Yang Chen hadn’t even seen the change in Miura Shinichiro’s attack earlier!
In Yang Chen’s mind, Imano Genso’s past evaluation of Miura Shinichiro flashed.
Enchanted Blade!
He possesses an enchanted blade!
The previous move was indeed too bizarre, simply undefeatable!
Seeing Yang Chen able to evade his move, Miura Shinichiro smiled slightly, nodding, "You have some skill after all!"
Yang Chen frowned, remaining silent.
"Isn’t it peculiar?" Miura Shinichiro laughed heartily upon seeing Yang Chen’s expression.
Laughing, he explained, "Many people believe that One Mirror Style mainly focuses on psychological battles, mimicking the opponent’s moves! However, they all forget that One Mirror Style has its own heritage! Mimicking is a means for us to learn from others’ strengths, not our true heritage! We absorbed the strengths from various schools, integrated them into our complete style, forming our unique heritage that is unknown to others, rendering it unguardable! I dare say, there’s no style that can withstand One Mirror Style’s moves!"
Yang Chen realized suddenly.
Even he had overlooked this point.
One Mirror Style does indeed mimic opponents’ moves, but they also have their own heritage.
Mimicking is quite difficult; to absorb someone’s moves and integrate them into one’s own style, accumulating over time, is remarkably powerful!
This results in One Mirror Style’s heritage being extraordinary!
At this moment, Yang Chen put away his disdain and took the matter seriously.
At least, Miura Shinichiro’s moves have elements worth learning.
"Come on! Let me see how formidable the heritage of One Mirror Style truly is!" Yang Chen spoke in a deep voice.
Miura Shinichiro laughed aloud, "Then watch closely!"
Though Miura Shinichiro was confident, he didn’t have the habit of shouting out moves like other people from Beihai Country.
Swish swish swish!
Miura Shinichiro’s katana attacked Yang Chen frantically from all angles.
The variations of every move were extremely cunning.
Sometimes, it seemed Miura Shinichiro’s katana would slash towards the legs, but with a flick, it turned towards the neck!
Terrifying!
Yang Chen could only focus on parrying, without any intention of counterattacks.
He wanted to see clearly what tricks Miura Shinichiro was using.
Suddenly, Yang Chen seemed to notice something.
At this moment, Miura Shinichiro’s katana aimed at Yang Chen’s abdomen.
Yang Chen was about to block it when the blade suddenly disappeared!
Yes! Just disappeared!
At this moment, a katana slashed down towards the neck from the left side.
Yang Chen quickly tried to retreat, Miura Shinichiro charged forward, the katana that originally aimed at the neck appeared on the right side, slashing towards Yang Chen’s arm!
Ding!
Yang Chen extended his hand to block the katana!
Miura Shinichiro squinted his eyes slightly.
He could block even this?
Miura Shinichiro was slightly shocked!
Yang Chen took the opportunity, spun around, and stabbed at Miura Shinichiro.
Miura Shinichiro hurriedly dodged.
Sssst!
A slit was opened in Miura Shinichiro’s sleeve.
But he was not injured.
Miura Shinichiro leapt backward, cautiously watching Yang Chen.
So far, he hadn’t injured Yang Chen at all, not even tearing his clothes a bit.
However, Yang Chen had torn open his samurai robe!
"Damn it!" Miura Shinichiro felt Yang Chen’s terrifying capability.
But he must quickly defeat Yang Chen, or else the situation might change!
"Perish!" Miura Shinichiro shouted loudly.
His katana rapidly shifted, to those who couldn’t see clearly, it seemed Miura Shinichiro was using flying knives, appearing and disappearing, elusive and untraceable.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, saw more clearly.
These weren’t just one sword!
It was two!!!
Miura Shinichiro’s so-called enchanted weapon was actually two swords.
In Miura Shinichiro’s sleeve, there was a mechanism that controlled the katana to fly out and retract in an instant.
It appeared as though he attacked with his right hand, but just as you tried to block, he abruptly retracted the right-hand sword and used his left-hand sword to strike you, leaving you unable to defend!
Because the speed was fast, it was hard to defend against, and difficult to see clearly, making it extremely peculiar, like an enchanted blade!
Turns out, it was just petty tricks!
Yang Chen understood Miura Shinichiro’s ploy.
In Flame Country, there’s a saying about two-sword style, where two swords are wielded swiftly, leaving opponents unable to defend, and more so, those wielding a pair of big sabers, not only move with incredible speed but also possess immense power, making opponents unable to catch up in speed or strength, ultimately leading to defeat.
And Miura Shinichiro added some gimmicks, making people think he was wielding just one sword, with the other used as a hidden weapon, ready to ambush at any time, leaving defenses futile.
Such tricks... While Yang Chen sighed, he also thought it was a pity.
Originally, he thought One Mirror Style genuinely absorbed the strengths of various schools, but it turned out to be such opportunistic antics!
Since this is the case, Yang Chen felt no need to continue wasting time with Miura Shinichiro.
Ding!
Yang Chen grabbed hold of one of his swords.
Miura Shinichiro almost instantly attempted to retract this sword, while aiming the other sword at Yang Chen.
Clang!
With a dull sound, Yang Chen blocked the other sword as well.
Miura Shinichiro’s expression changed dramatically!
Because the sword couldn’t retract, both swords were exposed!
The crowd, seeing this, was also in an uproar, wondering what was happening, why Miura Shinichiro suddenly had two swords!
