A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

"Sharp Gun·Li Shuwen!!"

Yes, this is a human being who can be named 'god'.

Brünnhilde slapped her forehead sharply.

Yes, why didn't she think of it?

In the ancient eastern land, there is still a group of people who pursue the supreme martial arts.

Lu Bu was obviously one of them, why couldn't she think of it?

Speaking of which, didn't the martial arts and swordsmanship of the tiny country all come from this continent?

No matter what angle you look at, Li Shuwen in front of you is more qualified to play than Sasaki Kojiro.

What's more, this is the human being chosen by Xuan Hao.

This man's vision is unmistakable.

"Of course...I am not an unreasonable person. If you have any objections, can you tell me the truth?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have fallen into silence because of his arrival, Li Shuwen looked at Sasaki Kojiro calmly and said lightly.

Yes, it couldn't be easier to decide who will fight. In the path of martial arts, those who are masters always come first.

"Want to fight? Want to fight? I can be the referee~"

Xuan Hao on the side looked like he was just watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.

Because of some things he has experienced, it can be said that he does not have a good impression of his friends from the island country at all, except for Eri and Minamoto Chisheng.

In short, after seeing the name Sasaki Kojiro on the list of prepared heroic spirits for the battle, he directly subjectively judged that the opponent was not good.

It's not that it's unreasonable, but that this person from a small place really doesn't have that background.

Martial arts, weapons, and even the myths spread on the island country, which one was not born out of their Chinese mainland?

If even my grandson can get in, there’s no reason why grandpa can’t get in? Am I right?

So Xuan Hao found this outstanding martial artist in modern China.

Well, he admitted that he was selfish. In fact, after knowing that there were many different eras in this world, he wanted to go to the era he was familiar with. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he wanted to go. Look at this old man.

Unfortunately, the final result was doomed to be regrettable. The Li Shuwen here was not the one in his memory.

But coincidentally, in this world, Li Shuwen's name is still known as the sharpshooter.

The so-called "magic spear" is naturally the spear skill that reaches the divine realm.

Yes, this is the reason why Xuan Hao brought Li Shuwen to this world.

Just as Lu Bu's "Heavenly Sword" is a unique skill that can reach the sky, Li Shuwen's spear skills have also reached that level. Although Li Shuwen in this world is not something he is familiar with, he is still an extremely powerful warrior, and he is in a human body. It is quite rare for a warrior to touch the 'god's domain', even if it is only the domain of god limited to this world.

You must know that these warriors are different from the gods who are favored by the will of the world from birth. They have actually trained themselves from scratch to this point. In fact, their strength is not mixed.

Of course, Xuan Hao was not denying the efforts of his friend from the island country, he simply thought it was not enough.

The gods have been defeated twice in a row. No matter who plays in the third game, the gods who play in the third game must be superior in strength, and after two consecutive defeats, there is probably no possibility of underestimating the enemy.

Maybe Sasaki Kojiro does have the strength to fight God after hundreds of years of training in heaven, but now they want not just to fight God, but to be sure of winning in the battle.

And when it comes to the certainty of victory, Xuan Hao has more confidence in Li Shuwen, both publicly and privately.

After all, what about hundreds of years of hard work? In front of the endless martial arts inherited from China for thousands of years, it is simply not enough!

"Mr. Sasaki Kojiro... what do you think?"

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be getting a bit tense at this moment, Brünnhilde smiled awkwardly and asked Sasaki Kojiro.

"..."

Sasaki Kojiro stared at Li Shuwen in front of him and was silent for a moment.

Finally, he spoke slowly: "Do you see the true seal under my hand... It suits my purpose. Then please enlighten me! This... warrior from the land of China."

"I am Li Shuwen. As the little girl next to me said, people call me 'Shen Gun'."

Li Shuwen stood still with a chuckle, one hand behind his back, and the other hand raised his palm to greet Sasaki Kojiro in front of him, "But those are all false names. I am old...I can no longer hold a gun."

"Yeah……"

Sasaki Kojiro smiled undeniably.

He also lowered his posture and reached out to touch the handle of the long knife.

"Since you don't intend to use weapons, you're welcome."

That's right, the two seem to be planning to start a war in this Hall of Valor.

This made the Valkyries on the side extremely anxious.

"Hey hey hey...wait...wait-"

However, just as they were about to stop them, a curtain of light enveloped the two old men.

It was Xuan Hao on the side who marked out a place for the two of them: "Don't worry, I'm here and I can't destroy your territory."

Although he was suppressed by the will of the world and could not use the power of the law as he wished, he could still just draw a battlefield for two people to fight.

After all, neither of them has a divine weapon in their hands now. No matter how the fight continues, it will just be a battle between humans. Even if they use moves that touch the realm of gods, their power will be greatly reduced because they don't have a divine weapon. Don't make too big a fuss.

Of course, this is only for Xuan Hao.

In the eyes of the Valkyries, the aura of these two old men at this moment was even more terrifying than that of some gods.

Although these two people said they were ready to take action, in fact they just stood facing each other quietly.

But even like this, the Valkyries still feel stressed.

"Gulu..."

They swallowed their saliva and watched nervously through the light curtain at the two old men who were also calm and composed.

It was obvious that while the two old men were gathering momentum, they seemed to be waiting for the other to make the first move.

I heard that there seems to be a saying in martial arts that "the first strike will lead to defeat". Usually, the person who strikes first will be at a disadvantage, because most martial arts have ways to break them, and striking first means that they will be counterattacked by the opponent. That seems to be the case at the moment?

This is generally true.

Unfortunately, their judgment of the current situation was biased.

Because the situation they believe must be established when the strength of both parties is not much different.

Only when there is not much difference in strength will there be a situation where you can win with restrained moves. And if the strength gap between the two sides is too large, cracking will naturally become empty talk. After all, there is a limit even if you can move a thousand pounds with four ounces. If the opponent's strength exceeds this limit, no method can be used to stop it.

At this moment, Sasaki Kojiro's forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked at Li Shuwen with extremely nervous eyes.

Originally he was very confident.

But when he reached out to touch the handle of the knife and prepared to draw it, he instinctively felt 'at a loss'.

That’s right, it’s ‘at a loss’.

He didn't know where to swing his sword.

The warrior from China in front of him was clearly standing in front of him, but he suddenly couldn't feel his presence.

Yes, the sight can capture it, but it cannot be felt.

He had a hunch that if he swung the sword like this, he wouldn't be able to hit anything.

After all, ‘non-existence’ means ‘no flaws’.

Is this the martial arts that has accumulated for five thousand years? It's so terrifying that it's suffocating... Sasaki Kojiro couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The opponent was obviously just standing there casually, and even his attitude of attacking seemed so frivolous, but for a moment he was unable to make a move.

He felt that his more than four hundred years of practicing swordsmanship seemed to be in vain. Unexpectedly, before he could face the god he was looking forward to challenging, he would be stumped by a fellow human warrior.

What a mistake.

Want to give up?

No……

There were countless failures in his life, but there was no giving up.

In any case, Sasaki Kojiro also wants to try to climb this mountain.

············

Tick-tock——

Time, I don’t know how long has passed.

The Valkyries looked at the two old men confronting each other with nervous expressions and did not dare to speak.

The two old men on the battlefield drawn by Xuan Hao have remained motionless until now.

The difference was that Li Shuwen looked calm and composed, while Sasaki Kojiro was already sweating profusely.

"What...is this going on? Are you already sweating profusely just from the duel of momentum?" Gray couldn't help but ask angrily.

"This is the foundation."

Xuan Hao smiled softly and explained lightly, "Although it seems that there is no action, the two of them have actually fought countless times."

"What do you mean?" Gray was still confused.

"Simulating a battle in your head." Xuan Hao knocked on his head and explained simply and clearly, "Sasaki Kojiro has rehearsed countless battle scenes with Li Shuwen in his mind, but without exception, he was defeated. To Say why, because he faced..."

"It's the martial arts inherited from China for five thousand years!" Brynhildr added excitedly, "It takes just a few hundred years, no matter how hard a person trains, it's impossible to surpass the martial arts accumulated by this time, right? Regardless of strength, Mr. Li Shuwen has already won in terms of skill alone!"

"That's right." Xuan Hao looked at Brünnhilde, who looked like a little girl, and raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this goddess is quite discerning.

"However, Sasaki Kojiro doesn't seem to give up so easily."

As he spoke, he looked at Sasaki Kojiro.

Putting aside all subjective factors, this is indeed an outstanding swordsman who pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship. Perhaps after hundreds of years of training, his achievements in swordsmanship have reached an unimaginable level and are worthy of admiration.

but……

Isn't this the case with Li Shuwen?

Why does ‘Magic Gun’ Li Shuwen have no gun in his hand at this moment? Is it really because I am too old to hold a gun?

How can it be.

Li Shuwen didn't use a gun simply because his spear skills had reached a state of transformation and he couldn't advance any further.

Not only that, boxing, stick skills...it can be said that this old man has probably honed all of the eighteen martial arts to their peak, including swordsmanship.

This is the difference between a swordsman and a martial artist.

Sasaki Kojiro is only proficient in swordsmanship, but Li Shuwen is a hexagonal warrior who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

So now...it depends on whether Sasaki Kojiro can reach the length of one of the boards on the barrel in Li Shuwen's hand.

At this moment, everyone in the Hall of Heroes was watching intently, as if they didn't want to miss the next scene.

"call……"

Sasaki Kojiro exhaled a thick breath, gave up his hesitation, and seemed to finally be ready to take action.

His old palm slowly grasped the handle of the knife, and his body leaned forward slightly.

The scabbard of the ancient sword reflected a faint light in the not-so-bright Hall of Valor.

This is a sword that all island country swordsmen know. It is simple and pure, and is very suitable for one-shot victory.

Its name is probably familiar to everyone - Iai.

That's right, Sasaki Kojiro did not use his famous stunt "Swallow Return", but chose to test it with Iai. After all, the stunt must be saved for last.

If possible, he would of course want to defeat the opponent in front of him within one blow, but obviously that was impossible.

So this first is just a trial.

Of course, facing such an opponent with superior martial arts, even if it is a trial, we must do our best.

Suddenly, veins popped out in Sasaki Kojiro's arm holding the handle of the knife.

Following his explosion, the blade instantly drew out of the scabbard with extreme and pure speed.

bass--

The next moment, the strong wind lifted up the black feathers on his body, and the lightning-like sword light bloomed in the Hall of Valor. After the sword light had already cut through the air, the sound of breaking the sound barrier sounded like it was long overdue. .

"!!?"

At the moment before the sound of the sword fell, Sasaki Kojiro's pupils shrank sharply.

He saw the movements in Li Shuwen's hands in front of him.

The man's raised old arm changed its gesture, stretched out two fingers, and then came first, arriving at the place where the trajectory of his sword swing must pass.

clang--

The crisp sound of contention resounded.

Sasaki Kojiro felt the terrifying force coming from the blade.

The long knife in his hand began to deviate from its trajectory under the effect of the terrifying force from the side.

This extremely fast Iai intention was unexpectedly intercepted by the opponent in front of him who came first!

What speed is this?

What kind of move is this?

fingering?

No...this is swordsmanship! !

That's right, the opponent in front of him actually used his fingers as a sword to deal with his swordsmanship that he had honed to the extreme!

No... At this moment, Sasaki Kojiro couldn't help but feel suspicious. Has your sword...really been honed to the extreme?

Why does such doubt arise?

Because he felt that Li Shuwen's swordsmanship in front of him seemed to be the real ultimate intention.

He had known earlier that the other party's failure to use weapons was not because he was really incapable of holding weapons, but because he was just being humble.

But at this moment, he realized that not using weapons also meant that the opponent no longer needed weapons, because the martial arts master from the land of China in front of him was already in a desperate situation. After thousands of tempers, his body was the best weapon!
