Chapter 542: This guy, I, Ju Qingden, have decided to do it!

He did not use a literate tone, nor did he use obscure ancient Japanese, but spoke in vernacular, so even an old man who had never been to Terakoya could understand the meaning of his words.

Everyone was impressed by the heroic spirit contained in his words.

"He is indeed the strongest man in Edo."

"Awesome!"

"Even if there are no war drums, the ringing of the formation bells, I should be immersed in the situation and stand up to fight... That is really good!"

…

"..."

Aomori looked straight at Chiba Eijiro in the distance with a meaningful look.

Looking at his heroic figure who looked particularly dashing because of the gorgeous clothes... He couldn't explain why. In short, Qingdeng instinctively realized that he decided to build up his appearance well on this special day.

He is not the only person...

——You are actually more handsome than me!

For some reason, an inexplicable competitive spirit filled Qingdeng's chest.

At the same time, Chiba Eijiro also looked at Qingto from head to toe with a scrutinizing look.

Then, he also cast an intriguing look at Qingden.

Before the battle even started, an indescribable strange atmosphere spread between the two of them...

…

…

This is not a commercial sports event, so there is no advertising time for sponsors, and there is no grinding warm-up session.

After Eijiro Chiba arrived, the two parties simply stretched their bodies a few times, then picked up their bamboo swords, stepped on the snow, and moved to the north and south ends of the duel venue.

Pretending...ah, no, although it is important to maintain one's own personal image, it is just a means of "icing on the cake" after all.

If you can't defeat Eijiro Chiba, no matter how gorgeous your clothes are, no matter how cool your lines are, and no matter how cool your posture is, it will be nothing more than a mirror image.

Qingdeng held a sword flower in his arms. While shaking off the snowflakes floating on the sword, he set up the bamboo sword and started to move in the middle.

"Bring your horses over here!"

Chiba Eijiro smiled.

“Teach anytime!”

Then he shouted loudly:

"The 14th generation governor of the Chiba family of the Taira family, the descendant of the Hoichen Itto, Chiba Eijiro. I sincerely worship the fire god of Atago Shrine, and hope that the god of war will be in the center to witness! This duel will be based on the principle of fairness and justice.

conduct!"

Qingdeng was startled again.

Is there such a line?

Although Atago Shrine is not far away, if you want to pray to the gods, you should go to the shrine and clap your hands at the shrine bell. What's the use of shouting into the air?

Moreover, Kabutsujin is a god who specializes in fire, love luck, and wealth. He is not a god of war like Hachiman Daimyojin. If you ask Kabutushikami to be the referee of the duel, it is the same as sending Souji to be the chief of the Shinsengumi.

What's the difference?

Although from the perspective of Shinto etiquette and culture, the meaning of Chiba Eijiro's operation is completely unclear, it is undeniable that...his words are very powerful.

XX generation family governor, XX successor, and also specially used "worship with sincerity and fear", "Wang Yushen" and other awkward and profound vocabulary that are not commonly used in daily life, which is more powerful than simply reporting one's family status.

many.

——So there is such a cool opening line for a duel...

For some reason, Aoto had a premonition: Chiba Eijiro deliberately did this unique way of opening the show! He simply wanted to take this opportunity to read these lines!

In this case, I can't lose!

Qingdeng raised his head high, with a solemn expression, and activated his talent "Cloud-Piercing Stone +2":

"The 18th generation governor of the Genji Tachibana family, he is a natural and spiritual person, and the oranges are as green as the sun. He sincerely worships the fire god of Atago Shrine. I hope that the gods will look down on him. This duel will allow both sides to get what they want!"

Qingdeng didn't even know if he was the 18th generation family governor, so he made up a random number, but he couldn't lose his momentum!

Although the behavior of both parties asking God was just meaningless talk, it successfully enhanced the atmosphere of the scene.

I saw everyone showing awe-inspiring expressions - "It is indeed a powerful collision, an unprecedented decisive battle! Both sides even invited gods to witness the victory with their own eyes!" - they all showed such expressions.

At this moment, Chiba Nobuyoshi twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"When did you become the 14th generation family governor..."

…

…

As far as the process is concerned, the opening of this duel can be regarded as "accidental".

However, "accidents" are "accidents". When it's time to be serious, whether it's Aoto or Chiba Eijiro, they will put away their inappropriate thoughts.

The moment both parties finished the squatting ceremony, sharp looks suddenly appeared on the faces of both parties!

The next moment, a roar shook the earth.

The accumulated snow on the top of the mountain is very soft, as if it will drift away as long as the wind blows.

Therefore, any large movements will cause snow waves to splash.

Qingdeng launched the first attack. He concentrated his strength on his toes, then pushed forward suddenly.

He switched configurations while running and raised the bamboo sword.

Just like detonating a landmine, every time he stepped on it, a small hole appeared on the ground, followed by waves of snow that erupted upward like a volcano.

Viewed from a distance, uninformed people might have thought that Qingdeng was skiing - trailing behind him was a long white trail made of "exploded" snow.

Snowflakes danced sparklingly in the air under the light.

Ayoto's bamboo sword slashed hard at Chiba Eijiro's body.

The bamboo sword cut through the air, making a "chichichi" sound.

Almost at the same time as Aoto swung his sword, Chiba Eijiro slashed out a sword shadow as deep as ink at a speed that showed no sign of weakness.

Snap!

The bamboo swords striking each other in the air erupted into a majestic shock wave.

The snowflakes and snow foam floating around the two people were instantly bounced away, and the space with them as the center was filled with air waves galloping like horses!

…

…

"Oh, it's coming. Oh, my old waist is becoming more and more useless."

Qingyin Yueda rubbed her lower back while looking at the duel venue in front of her.

"Huh? It seems that it has already started."

The male Seiichiro Tanani, who was walking half a beat slower than him, walked slowly to his side and answered:

"We're late."

Yitian Qingyin smiled:

"It's okay. Judging from the situation at the scene, they have just started. We are not too late."

The sword masters and sword masters from the martial arts school also came to join in the fun.

In other words, most of the famous warriors in Edo: Yakuro Saito, Haruzo Momoi... basically came to watch the battle.

For warriors, this kind of battle to determine who will be the "No. 1 in Edo" in the future has an extremely fatal attraction.

Otani Seiichiro, Soda Kiyone, Oishi Susumu, Sakakihara Kankichi... They stood away from the crowd and watched the situation on the battlefield from a distance.

"...Mr. Otani."

Oishi Susumu asked Tan Seiichiro abruptly.

"Who do you think will win?"

"..."

The male Tan Seiichiro pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and stared straight at the battlefield.

After being silent for a long time, he said quietly:

"...It's hard to say."

Dashi Jin looked surprised.

"Can't you even tell the difference between Tachibana Aotobu and Chiba Eijiro?"
To be continued...
