The grove behind the dojo wasn't that big, at least, for powerhouses of the level of Apophis and Koshiro.

In the forest on a rainy night, the two stood with swords.

"He should be a swordsman of that kind of violent flow, and the limited range is more beneficial to a swordsman of my skill flow. Is this because you feel that you are too strong, and if you don't take the initiative to suppress it, you won't be able to achieve the effect of tempering? ”

Koshiro took a deep breath, although it was very uncomfortable to be underestimated, he also understood that in this battle, he was originally at an absolute disadvantage.

He hadn't fought against a strong man of the same level for almost ten years, and the guy on the other side, just looking at the fierce eyes, knew that he was fighting from the sea of blood, this kind of person, the combat power is often terrifying.

The gap in combat experience is too big!

"You're going to fight me with a wooden sword?" Apophis said coldly.

"I have already sworn that I will not use it again. What's more...... "Koshiro held the sword in both hands, and the wooden sword in his hand was gradually climbing with a touch of black metallic luster, "For people like us, anything can be a sword!" ”

"It's okay to deceive those weak people with this kind of talk, and dare to use a wooden sword in a battle with me, do you want to die?" With a wave of his left hand, Apophis opened up an invisible space.

His arm reached in, and in an instant, he took out a black knife.

"Spatial ability, Devil Fruit ......" Koshiro's heart sank at first, and then his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the sword, "Could this be, the legendary demon knife second-generation ghost?" ”

"It's a pity that it's only the second generation, it's not fierce enough!" Apophis sighed.

Koshiro couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eye, it was the first time he had seen that the demon knife was not fierce enough.

However, he could also see that the swordsman on the other side did not say much, and the second-generation ghost Che, who was known for his fierce obstruction, was as docile as a little white rabbit in the hands of that swordsman.

It's hard to imagine how fierce his momentum will be!

Then, Koshiro saw the masked man's left hand raised, and the second generation of Onitoru spun in the air and threw it towards him.

Although the reputation of the second generation of Onitoru is not good, out of the instinct of a swordsman, Koshiro can't help but reach out and catch it.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Use this to fight me."

"The second-generation ghost Che, one of the twenty-one workers of the Great Quick Knife, was sent to me like this, you are really generous."

"Don't worry, even people will be mine when you die."

Koshiro thought that Apophis meant to take his life, but he didn't care at the moment.

"Come on, then." Koshiro instantly entered a state of calm water, and in his eyes, it was as if the whole world had turned into a gray one, leaving only the enemy and the sword in his hand.

Then, rush forward.

Speed, in this moment, seems to transcend space.

Apophis caught the flow of air and swung his sword at it, stopping it like a prophet.

The blades of the blades crisscrossed each other, and the waves of crimson and pure white rippled in all directions, and the surrounding trees snapped in response, as if they had been cut through by an invisible blade.

The stalemate between the two was only for a moment, and soon, Apophis was furiously wielding the seven-star sword and pressing.

Down, up, horizontally, round, each sword is fierce, even the escaping sword light has left dense holes in the surrounding rocks.

If Apophis is at the peak of his offense, then Koshiro is the ultimate in defense.

But there's more to his sword than just defense.

Just like under the calm sea, there are often turbulent and dangerous undercurrents.

In just a few minutes, the grove was a mess.

"The strength is not as good as mine, the speed is not as good as mine, and the domineering is not as good as me, even so, you are still injured......" Apophis noticed the scar on his arm and couldn't help shouting excitedly, "Well done!" This is the power of your single-minded swordsmanship? ”

"Protect what you want to protect, and people will become stronger!" Koshiro gripped the hilt of the knife hard, calming his slightly trembling hands as quickly as possible.

The strength of the guy on the other side was really a little too strong, even in Wano Country, he had never seen such a powerful swordsman.

"But this degree of getting stronger is not enough! You've got to be strong enough to kill me! ”

"As you wish."

The armed color domineering attached to Koshiro's blade began to circulate, and the blade roared softly, and the second-generation Onitoru, who had been faintly resisting him, also let go of the restrictions at this moment.

"Moon Shadow: Flowing Frost!"

The domineering spirit of the flowing cherry blossoms and the crescent moon slash blended and flew towards Apophis, but the impact on the edge outlined a narrow ravine on the ground.

From a distance, it looks like a bright moonlight.

Apophis had already witnessed this by foreseeing the future, but instead of dodging, he did the same thing while Koshiro swung his sword.

"Crimson Kasumi!"

The crimson shock wave was reflected in the moonlight, like a brilliant sunset.

It's just a bloody sunset.

In Koshiro's incredible eyes, the two slashes staggered, and there was no imaginary picture of canceling each other.

"Oh no, Moon Shadow Rotation!"

Koshiro hurriedly drew his sword to resist, but he was still swept away by the cathartic waves.

Apophis was already prepared, and he picked up Koshiro's slash with a sword.

"The swordsmanship is slightly stronger than me, the strength and speed are slightly weaker than mine, and the armed color domineering is barely at the same level as me, but unfortunately, the color domineering and combat experience are too much worse." Apophis commented to himself.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as you change the will to lead, the weaknesses in these two aspects can be quickly filled."

"It's not over yet! Secret Sword: Swallow Returns! ”

A brilliant slash flew in.

"That blow was dodged?" Apophis was also slightly surprised, "No, it's not dodging, it's turning my attack into the power of this knife!" ”

"Still, useless is useless." Apophis flirted with a backhand, and the crimson impact flew out again.

This time, the two slashes did not intersect with each other, but collided violently.

The violent waves of qi were wantonly vented in mid-air, like countless tiny flying needles jumping around, even if the armed color domineering of the two covered their bodies, they could still feel bursts of tingling pain.

"This guy is so responsive, it's almost like he can predict my actions in advance. Could it be that in the legend of Wano Country, the seventh consciousness that transcends time? ”

Koshiro thought with a heavy heart, "If you want to defeat him, you can't make the speed of the sword as fast as consciousness...... Beyond time! ”

PS:Considering that the country of Wano calls the armed color the flowing cherry blossoms.,I'll change the color of seeing and hearing here to the statement of the eight senses.,In fact, it's useless.,It's purely my hypocrisy.,You don't have to care (??) ﹏??)。
