"You could say that."

Male Tan Seiichiro shrugged and smiled.

"Both of them are unparalleled geniuses."

"Tachibana-kun is certainly powerful, but Chiba-kun is not a fuel-efficient lamp either."

"Compared to the last time we met, Chiba-kun has become much stronger."

"It's hard to say who wins or loses."

…

…

With two loud shouts, the two swordsmen fought together.

One move, another move, and another move.

Qingden unleashed a continuous offensive.

Sometimes it slashes down with force, sometimes it stabs out.

In the splashing clouds of snow and mist, people saw Chiba Eijiro deploying clever defenses, taking advantage of every move, and neutralizing Aomori's moves one by one.

Sometimes he turned to dodge, sometimes he swung his sword to fight back.

One time, another time, and another time, Chiba Eijiro's body appeared flexibly and he got rid of Qingto's entanglement.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow of the sword flashed - once, then again - and people saw Chiba Eijiro's bamboo sword flash twice silently.

In the first attack, Chiba Eijiro used the move of lifting the bamboo sword, forcing Aomori to duck and retreat.

The second time, he launched a pursuit, and the bamboo sword that was lifted into the air due to the previous move was slashed down with a cassock slashing posture.

If Qingdeng hadn't reacted quickly enough to dodge in time, if an ordinary person or a mediocre warrior had taken this move, he would have definitely ended up being chopped down to the ground.

However, although Aoto had used the fastest speed he could achieve to dodge the blow, Chiba Eijiro's bamboo sword still passed his shoulder.

Qingdeng took advantage of the situation and retreated, but only took two steps back to stabilize his body.

Chi - the upward sword blade made a sharp sound of breaking the wind.

Aoden raised his bamboo sword, pointing the tip of the sword diagonally at the sun in the sky. The two ribs, which were hollowed out by cutting the upper sections, were openly displayed in front of Chiba Eijiro's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chiba Eijiro narrowed his eyes and quickly stepped on his hind feet. The tip of the bamboo sword in his palm swayed slightly like the tail of a wagtail.

Then, the two figures and the two sword blades kept a distance of less than 3 steps.

Less than 3 steps... For both sides, this is the distance where they can easily hit the opponent with a slight raise of their hands.

In particular, Qingden also used the upper section - because the two ribs are empty and the center line of the body is released, the upper section is very unfavorable for defense.

However, Chiba Eijiro did not immediately launch an offensive.

Instead, they just maintained the confrontation, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Qingdeng took a step to the left.

Chiba Eijiro then took a step to the right.

Qingden took a step forward.

Chiba Eijiro took a step back.

A weird duo...

It may be difficult for others to understand Chiba Eijiro's behavior, but as a person involved, he is extremely keenly aware that Aoto is very dangerous at the moment, and if he acts rashly, he will receive a severe counterattack.

"..."

"..."

Soon after that, there was a snap, and the sound of the air being suddenly compressed broke out between the two of them.

The two of them took action at the same time.

Qingden raised the bamboo sword above his head and struck it down with all his strength.

Chiba Eijiro's constantly swaying bamboo sword also froze in an instant, and then was raised upwards with the force of wind and lingering clouds.

The bamboo swords intersected, making a "click-click" sound, and the "squeak-squeak" sound of the bamboo swords being overwhelmed and splattering bamboo shavings.

The two people who were fighting fiercely intertwined their sleeves, passed each other, and charged forward. Then they turned back, and the snow on the ground splashed up, and they were fighting again.

While the two were fighting fiercely, they both used clever defensive techniques to protect themselves while pouring a tsunami-like attack on the other side.

Aoto hit Eijiro Chiba in the chest.

Chiba Eijiro held his bamboo sword upright on his chest.

After a lot of bamboo chips and snowflakes were splashed, the two swords were placed together, and they were wrestling with each other at the waist.

Qingdeng used all his strength, activating all his talents such as "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers +3", "Elephant's Core +4", etc., coupled with his own weight, he moved the bamboo sword in his hand towards the opponent in front of him in one go.

Pressed up.

To be fair, Chiba Eijiro's strength is not as strong as Aoto's.

However, the gap between the two sides is only "46 points".

Such a slight advantage was not enough to translate into Qingdeng's victory.

It is obvious that he is a "Geki no Chiba" who is good at skills, but in the end, his physical strength is not inferior to those of powerful swordsmen.

Regarding this, Qingdeng couldn't help but secretly think:

——As expected, these famous and outstanding warriors basically have no shortcomings. They have extraordinary skills and bodies that seem to have mutated.

In this way, the two of them had their feet firmly planted on the ground. Every time the other party exerted force, they also exerted a force, and no one gave in to the other.

Through the intersecting bamboo swords that formed an "X" shape, Chiba Eijiro's face came into Ayoto's eyes extremely clearly, and even the down on his cheeks was clearly visible.

I saw him... this talented swordsman who had already become famous at a young age, with a happy face and a joyful smile on his cheeks.

Looking at Chiba Eijiro's smiling face, for some reason, Aoto could understand his mood.

Because...even though there was no mirror, Qingdeng could feel that the corners of his mouth were extending high to both sides.

In terms of laughter, I am not inferior to the other party at all!

Compared with the "Mutual Assured Destruction" fighting style when competing with Seiichiro Tanani, obviously - this kind of hearty and fierce battle, where both sides quickly exchanged offense and defense, made Aonto feel more excited and excited!

Chiba Eijiro must have thought so too.

The two swordsmen were fighting each other, and suddenly they showed each other idiotic smiles - in normal times, this scene would have been quite frightening.

However, because the onlookers present were all attracted by the fierce battle scene, and even their breathing slowed down, how could they have the leisure to pay attention to these corners?

Just when the bamboo swords of the two were about to break due to being unable to withstand their huge strength, as if they had agreed in advance, both parties jumped back at the same time as if they had been scalded by boiling water.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by two shouts like the roar of wild beasts, Aoto and Chiba Eijiro slashed the bamboo swords in their hands towards each other in no particular order.

In an instant, countless bamboo shavings flew into the air - after the two bamboo swords collided heavily, they were both broken in the middle. The lower half was still held by the two of them, while the upper half flew high into the sky, drawing a line.

After a beautiful parabola, it fell to the snow in the distance.

On the sidelines, Kondo Shusuke saw this and turned to the Souji next to him and shouted:

"General Secretary, get the new bamboo sword quickly!"

At the same time, Chiba Sadaki also turned his head and said to Chiba Jutaro who was standing behind him:

"Jutaro! Bamboo sword!"

Just as the "logistics personnel" on both sides were hurriedly preparing to hand over the Hsinchu sword——

Qingden glanced at the broken sword in his hand and grinned.

While throwing away the broken sword, he shouted loudly:

"General Secretary! Give me Vairocana!"

Hearing Aoto's shouting, Chiba Eijiro was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

"Dao Sanlang! Throw Zhenyue Changguang over here!"
