Chapter 1435 - 1433: Showdown
It's a fine blade!
In the instant it was drawn, the chill cut through the air, the sharpness blinding!
Whoosh!
The blade directly slashed toward Yang Chen's neck!
If this strike landed, it could send a mighty head flying!
Yang Chen's feet moved swiftly, evading with ease.
Admiral Yamamoto saw his surprise attack missed and immediately lunged forward, slashing down at Yang Chen.
At that moment, Yang Chen's eyes widened, his pupils contracted!
"Beifeng Thirteen Rivers! Form 129!"
Admiral Yamamoto's face was ferocious, the veins on his neck bulging and twisted, seeming like they could burst at any moment. Shouting this phrase seemed to exhaust all his energy!
But the blade in his hand fell like a meteor, slashing rapidly, even causing friction with the air, making the blade emit a wave of heat!
The speed was incredibly fast!
Fast to the extreme!
To the point where everyone felt their eyes blur, and the blade was already gone!
And when it appeared again, it was slashing toward Yang Chen!
In the electric moment, Yang Chen raised his dagger to block it!
Clang!
A loud noise, deafening!
Sparks flew!
The floor emitted a cracking sound.
Yang Chen's whole body was sent flying backward, the floor beneath him shattered with a crash.
At the position where Yang Chen was standing just now, the ground was cracked with spiderweb-like lines!
Seeing the marks left on the ground, everyone was dumbstruck!
"This! This is the most famed 129th form of the Beifeng Thirteen Rivers Flow! Meteor Blossom Flash!"
"Amazing! I didn't even see what happened clearly!"
"So fast!"
"This blade, it unleashed the chief's power!"
"If it were me, there's no way I could block this blade!"
"To die under the chief's move, I'd say it's a worthy death!"
"But he seems to have blocked it!"
"Even if he blocked it, what does it matter? Didn't you see he's already been sent flying by the chief? He may block it once, but can he block a second time? He's doomed!"
"I can already imagine his head hung at headquarters!"
"After the chief kills him, I'll treat everyone to drinks! Let's not leave until we're drunk!"
...
Seeing Admiral Yamamoto's fierce side, they were full of confidence.
In their eyes, Yang Chen was merely struggling precariously, destined to die under Admiral Yamamoto's blade!
Even Imano Genso thought the same.
Upon seeing Yang Chen being slashed away, his heart turned cold.
He felt if Yang Chen died, he too would be killed.
Though Yang Chen didn't fall, he still lost his confidence.
Among the crowd, only Admiral Yamamoto had a grim expression.
He knew what it meant for Yang Chen to block this move.
His hand holding the blade trembled slightly.
"Remarkable!" Yang Chen praised, slowly standing up.
His appearance suggested he wasn't injured by the immense power just now.
Seeing Yang Chen seemingly unfazed, the corner of Admiral Yamamoto's eye twitched frantically.
From the beginning, he intended to attack fiercely, catching Yang Chen off guard to annihilate him with swift, unyielding force! As the saying goes, 'Inch of length, inch of strength,' he aimed to overpower the weak and exploit the opportunity for an outburst!
But unexpectedly, Yang Chen blocked it!
Though he hadn't adequately prepared, he exerted himself to unleash the Meteor Blossom Flash, and could only perform it once!
So he carried a mind to kill.
But unexpectedly, Yang Chen managed to block it!
Other than his teacher, no one had ever been able to block the Meteor Blossom Flash!
Yang Chen swung his dagger, stared at Admiral Yamamoto, and said, "Now, you've made me recognize the prowess of the Beifeng Thirteen Rivers with just this move; it's enough to uphold your reputation!"
Such an evaluation was already very high.
Admiral Yamamoto's gaze fell on Yang Chen's dagger afterwards, his face turned pale.
The Meteor Blossom Flash not only failed to injure Yang Chen, but even his blade did not show a single nick!
This is impossible!
Admiral Yamamoto's face was full of disbelief.
Yang Chen stared at Admiral Yamamoto, "Now, let me show you Flame Country's standard swordsmanship."
Saying this, Yang Chen's figure flickered and already reached Admiral Yamamoto.
He replaced sword techniques with a dagger, maneuvering quickly around Admiral Yamamoto, continuous sword strikes.
Admiral Yamamoto wielded his blade to defend, but showed signs of defeat!
The crowd was puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"How did he suddenly become so aggressive?"
"No need to worry! It's just a flash before death, fighting desperately!"
"The chief's previous move must have drained a lot of stamina, he's just taking the opportunity to recover."
"No need to rush, he'll suffer soon enough!"
...
The crowd remained confident in Admiral Yamamoto.
But upon hearing their discussions, Admiral Yamamoto felt almost like coughing up blood.
The opponent was truly strong, how could they not see it?
None of them could withstand the move he used earlier, even without using his ultimate move he could wipe them out! Yet Yang Chen blocked it safely, unscathed, and they say the opponent is weak?
It's infuriating!
Ding ding ding ding!
Sparks flew.
The two moved back and forth, exchanging moves.
Ding!
After their dagger and blade clashed, they quickly separated.
Admiral Yamamoto was sweating from his forehead, panting heavily, intently watching Yang Chen.
Yang Chen wore a calm expression, lightly chuckling, "What do you think of these sword techniques?"
"Very impressive!" Admiral Yamamoto answered truthfully.
Yang Chen smiled faintly, "These are just the simplest sword techniques; there are even more powerful ones. Would you like to see them?"
Admiral Yamamoto's face grew even grimmer.
The techniques were already extremely challenging to fend off, now there are more advanced ones, likely even tougher to deal with.
Though he believed Beihai Country's martial arts are supreme, ultimately there are too few styles; within the entire school, there are only certain techniques, and if your talent is insufficient, the teacher won't teach them. Unlike Flame Country, which has countless cultivation techniques and manuals passed down through generations.
In comparison, Flame Country's skills are more varied and unpredictable.
Admiral Yamamoto glanced outside, looking worried.
"Could it really come to this?" Admiral Yamamoto muttered to himself.
Looking at Admiral Yamamoto, Yang Chen also presented a serious demeanor.
From the start, he had many chances to harm Admiral Yamamoto, but he didn't do so.
Since Ikebayashi Yuichiro was used as a test subject for parasitism, Admiral Yamamoto being more outstanding, why not serve as a test subject too?
So Yang Chen suspected that Admiral Yamamoto's body also hosted parasites!
Yet the form was unclear and hadn't surfaced yet.
He pushed Admiral Yamamoto so close, and yet nothing surfaced, Yang Chen even doubted if Admiral Yamamoto was indeed a host!
Since from Ikebayashi Yuichiro's case, parasites are influenced by emotions, Admiral Yamamoto's emotions were intensely fluctuating now.
Yang Chen thought it over and prepared to act again!
Admiral Yamamoto also moved, "Beifeng Thirteen Rivers! Form 109!"
With a loud shout, Yang Chen felt an immense force coming!
