Chapter 1105: Chapter 1106: Paired Combat

Song Xiaodong walked directly towards Miyagi Akihito and Yoshimoto Ryota. He had long since grasped their information, the only thing he wasn’t sure about was their current strength.

“Mr. Miyagi, Mr. Yoshimoto, I am Song Xiaodong, and this is my wife, Sun Yiyi.” Song Xiaodong maintained the demeanor of a Family Head. This was not just as a Family Head, but he was representing a nation, so he needed to have such a presence.

Sun Yiyi was still veiled, not using the usual image of Sun One. This matter was of the Su Family, so Song Xiaodong did not need to involve the Sun family. Moreover, Sun One’s identity remained hidden, adding to the intimidation factor.

Miyagi Akihito gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Very well! I truly didn’t expect you to have the guts to come. This time, I will cut you down to avenge my son.”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “In martial contests, some damage is unavoidable. Mr. Miyagi, you are a renowned master of sword techniques, do you not know this?”

Miyagi Akihito sneered coldly and said, “You came to my Kikkawa Kendo and killed my son, killed members of Kikkawa Kendo. Even if you give a thousand reasons, it is the greatest insult to us, Kikkawa Kendo. This debt, I must settle.”

Song Xiaodong suddenly laughed heartily and said, “Well said, then there is nothing more to be said. Isn’t Kikkawa Kendo all about the supremacy of the sword? Today, I’ll let you experience the power of the king of weapons and let you see our Chinese swordsmanship.”

“Good!” Miyagi Akihito only spat out a word, then swiftly drew two katanas from his waist in a clean and extremely fast motion. Many people didn’t see him draw the swords before they were already in his hands.

Song Xiaodong, however, slowly drew his longsword from his waist. This longsword was one of the Su Family’s treasures. Although it wasn’t the kind that cuts through iron like mud, it certainly wasn’t the kind for mere fitness use either. It was made entirely of high-grade steel, crafted decades ago by a sword-making master. The blade was fully sharpened; this was a true weapon.

Miyagi Akihito didn’t say much more. The veins in his hands bulged as he shouted, and the two longswords transformed into a mass of sword light, directly sweeping towards Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong gave a light shout, and the longsword in his hand created a series of sword flowers, directly meeting the attack.

“Ding ding dang dang!” In just a moment, no one knew how many times their weapons had clashed. The dense sounds joined together, like the prolonged cry of a dragon.

In the past, Song Xiaodong hadn’t really trained with a longsword. Even though he learned Chinese Kung Fu in the army, it mainly focused on weapons like daggers. The use of a longsword was so limited that there was no need to practice it.

Yet this time, facing the long swords of Kikkawa Kendo, he chose to use a sword.

Others might feel unfamiliar with a rarely used weapon, not only failing to unleash its power but potentially causing negative effects.

But for Song Xiaodong, there was no such worry.

At his level, when a weapon is in his hands, it feels as natural as moving one’s own limbs, without much unfamiliarity. Most importantly, with his perception ability, he didn’t need to consider what move to use. Though not possessing the legendary prowess of formless victories, he could find the opponent’s weaknesses and predict their next moves.

While Song Xiaodong and Miyagi Akihito engaged in combat, Sun Yiyi flipped her hand, and two small daggers appeared. She leaped directly toward Yoshimoto Ryota and shouted, “Let’s not be idle, either.” Her strength had greatly increased, and now she needed an opponent to test her skills and try out her power.

This is a mindset everyone has; when you acquire something good, you like to show it off a bit.

Yoshimoto Ryota watched Song Xiaodong and Miyagi Takeshi fight and was utterly astonished. Hearing about it from Miyagi Takeshi was nothing like seeing the impact with his own eyes. He never imagined Song Xiaodong’s strength would be this formidable, evenly matched with Miyagi Takeshi.

What stunned him even more was the woman in the veil rushing towards him. Her power was equally impressive; caught off guard, he almost fell into her trap. Once he began to counter-attack, she darted like a loach, eluding his grasp. Clearly, her capabilities were no less than his own.

Although Miyagi Akihito was overcome with rage before the fight, once engaged, his mind calmed. This is the mark of a master, and Song Xiaodong’s strength forced him to temporarily set aside his grudge, so he could fully wield his skills.

Their sword and saber clashed furiously, evenly matched for a time. The surrounding onlookers were completely engrossed, watching the dazzling display.

Song Xiaodong and Miyagi Akihito were in a true sword and saber duel, without theatrics. They seemed engulfed in a storm of blades.

Meanwhile, the battle between Sun Yiyi and Yoshimoto Ryota painted a different picture. Yoshimoto Ryota seemed to press Sun Yiyi hard, forcing her to constantly evade every strike.

But discerning observers could see that Yoshimoto Ryota couldn’t get the better of Sun Yiyi. Her movement technique was so nimble that his attacks couldn’t reach her; she was always elsewhere when his strikes landed, leaving Yoshimoto Ryota’s efforts futile.

When Sun Yiyi closed in, her small daggers exuded a fierce killing aura, and if Yoshimoto Ryota were hit, it would definitely result in serious injury.

Thus, these two were also evenly matched.

This was a rare spectacle for everyone. Such high-level duels are not easy to come by. Even among martial arts experts, witnessing something of this level might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“Clang!” A particularly loud and crisp sound drew everyone’s attention. In the clash between Miyagi Yoshita and Song Xiaodong, their sword and saber meeting produced an especially unique sound, causing their weapons to separate, leaving an opening. Miyagi Yoshita’s one saber was raised high and the other stuck into the ground.

But just then, as Miyagi Yoshita’s saber struck the ground, it suddenly swung upwards. At such a distance, the strike couldn’t harm Song Xiaodong, and everyone was puzzled about the intention behind it.

“Swish!” While the strike posed no threat to Song Xiaodong, Miyagi Yoshita had other plans. When the sword tip hit the ground, he purposely dug it deeper into the sand. As the saber swung up, it wasn’t to harm Song Xiaodong but to kick up a cloud of sand.

The sand was pervasive, and with Song Xiaodong’s arm knocked away by Miyagi Yoshita, he had no time to dodge. The sand hit him directly in the face, and despite closing his eyes in time, some grains still got in, blinding him momentarily.
