The Blade and Sword

CHAPTER 24-THE SURPRISE BATTLE

It's quite astonishing for the audiences. The Gōtosō’s representative somehow realized that he was quite annoyed by Koshin. He is trying to use his full power with Qi-energy to strike Koshin again; hopefully it can hit on Koshin. However, just like previously, none of them can hit on Koshin. and the last strike, Koshin evaded perfectly by bending over his upper body backward to sliding away from that strike and then counter back. He combines the Zuifūunken-ryū and Mukeifūken-ryū skills to strike on the Gōtosō’s representative. He uses the Zuifūunken-ryū first with an uppercut s***h with spinning his body then jumps into the mid-air and strikes to the ground with his Qi-energy. Surely, the Gōtosō’s representative quickly blocked it with his sword by holding it in a vertical line since it was too fast. However, he doesn't know that Koshin’s strike wasn't only that, which the crucial part is coming from next which he continues to strike by using Mukeifūken-ryū at level four “Shikū-Kenkyo / Sìkōng-Jiànxū (FourVoid-Swords)” by creating four of his cloning then attack together to confuse the opponent. However, it won't stop from there as the final hit will come from the real user which strikes with Qi-energy at the opponent to finish it once and for all. Since this battle was just a match which means “no taking-life”, so Koshin turned over his sword by using the tip of the sword handle to strike on his opponent's chest to blow him away but not kill him. Certainly, the Gōtosō’s representative was blown away quite far from his earlier position and fell out from the stage. Even though he wasn't hurt so bad, he still can't continue the fight anymore. The audience on the scene was very shocked to see Koshin was just using the Mukeifūken-ryū to beat the Gōtosō’s representative, including Ryū’unsō people. One of the Ryū’unsō’s elders stepped up.

Ryū’unsō’s elder: “What?? Is that… Mukeifūken-ryū?? How did he know to use it even if he was not the Seimei-Sōshu… Unkensō is cheating…!!!”

Then the Kogen-Chōrō steps up and explains everything in short summary to them. And for the details, they will explain later after the match is over. After that, the audience were very shocked to hear that Koshin was eventually the direct disciple of Kōgo. No wonder he was so formidable. However, the Ryū’unsō’s elders are still not satisfied as they wanted to disqualify Koshin, in other words Unkensō will lose directly. And some of the audiences were startled by Ryū’unsō’s elders' words because even Koshin learned the Mukeifūken-ryū, if he was not really talented, he wouldn't have mastered it as well. If he can use it, which means he was one of the intelligent martial-artists. The audience though the big-three sects must be able to accept defeat as they have no one that can compete with Koshin. Then Goryō-Meishu asked his elders to calm down and accept the fate. No matter what, Ryū’unsō’s as the sect's alliance leader can’t lose their pride and also must be decent in front of the people. The Ryū’unsō’s elders had no choice but to hold back their dissatisfaction. Now the big-three sects have something to worry about; as they thought Koshin might be able to win the remaining two matches. One of the Ryū’unsō’s elders whispered to Hokugenmon’s elder that in the next match, the representative of Hokugenmon must win at all costs. Then after resting for a while, the next match will continue between Koshin and Hokugenmon's representative. In short, the second match was also won by Koshin with a little effort. Even Hokugenmon's representative was stronger than Gōtosō’s representative but still, to face a prodigy like Koshin, it seems quite impossible. Certainly, the Ryū’unsō’s elders were so mad as they already warned Hokugenmon not to lose this match no matter what. However, the Hokugenmon’s elders said Koshin was too strong than their best disciples, so it was impossible to defeat him in one-on-one situations. Now, only one match remains in which Koshin will face Ryū’unsō’s representative in the final match. Some audience members already started to discuss slowly, as they thought Koshin already won the first two matches, so the last match has no meaning anymore. However Ryū’unsō’s side doesn't care as what has been decided before, unkenso must win all the three matches if they still want to get into the top eight ranking sects. Then, here comes the final match between Ryū’unsō’s representative, which is represented by Sō-Gogen. Koshin will face Sō-Gogen in this final match. In short, the match started. Sō-Gogen didn't attack wildly at Koshin just like the other representatives, in fact he provoked Koshin to confront him first. then Koshin dashed toward him at high speed then struck powerfully. Sō-Gogen was shocked at first as he did not expect that Koshin’s movements were so fast and he almost couldn't cope with it. Surely, it is just a warming up strike. Then Koshin kept attacking at Sō-Gogen in full high speed continuously. However, he only strikes with normal attacks as he hasn't used any of his skills yet, including Mukeifūken-ryū.
