Chapter 1019: Chapter 1020 Extermination God Technique
"Such arrogance! Letās see if you can save your life under my blade!" Akagi Motokatsu was already furious. On the grounds of Kikkawa Kendo, two top martial artists met misfortune, one with unknown life or death, and the other lost an arm. This was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for Kikkawa Kendo. If they couldnāt kill these three, how could Kikkawa Kendo establish itself in Japan in the future? They would forever lose their stature in front of other Japanese martial arts.
The young man in front of him was incredibly strong, so strong that he felt great pressure. However, he still had confidence that he could defeat Song Xiaodong. With so many years of training and experience, even if the strength was similar, just a sliver of an advantage could decide victory.
Initially, Akagi Motokatsu didnāt have the intention to fight desperately. He just wanted to slowly wear down Song Xiaodong, believing that sooner or later he could find a flaw in Song Xiaodong and win with a decisive move.
But now he couldnāt afford to do that. Everyone was watching him; if he couldnāt quickly defeat Song Xiaodong, how would he explain himself?
With a sudden yell, Akagi Motokatsuās long blade in his hand started to vibrate strangely, then transformed into an unpredictable blade aura, enveloping him within.
This was Akagi Motokatsuās secret skill, his strongest killing move. He rarely used it, but when he did, it was a must-kill scenario.
This move was fierce in its attack and heavy with killing intent, so it wouldnāt be used unless it was a life-and-death struggle.
"Extermination God Technique!"
"Is this really Mr Akagiās Extermination God Technique?"
"Absolutely, Iāve seen Mr Akagi use this technique. Its power is immense; his opponent was directly sliced into six segments by it."
"My God! Mr Akagi actually used the Extermination God Technique!"
"In my lifetime, I actually get to witness Mr Akagi using the Extermination God Technique. Iām truly fortunate."
The people of Kikkawa Kendo, upon seeing Akagi Motokatsu use this move, had a fervent look in their eyes.
Akagi Motokatsuās technique required a relatively long time to brew, hence providing the chance for others to comment. Otherwise, as soon as he performed, before others could finish a sentence, he would have completed the move and switched to another.
This buildup of force was a peculiar way to exert power. By concentrating the energy brewed during this time, he could directly unleash it. Even if the opponent was as strong as him, this concentrated force was much greater than usual, naturally giving an overwhelming advantage, akin to a "big move" in a game.
This kind of move that built up force over a long time was easily interrupted. However, Akagi Motokatsu achieved a strong compensation; during the buildup phase, he could fortify his defenses impenetrably. Unless facing an exceedingly skilled fighter, one couldnāt break through his defenses.
Song Xiaodongās expression was as calm as water. He noticed Su Zhentianās injury, yet he wasnāt anxious. Given the location of Su Zhentianās wound, he knew it wasnāt life-threatening. Su Zhentian could hold on for another hour, no problem. Right now, dealing with the situation at hand was essential before he could peacefully treat Su Zhentian.
While Akagi Motokatsu was building up force, Song Xiaodong did not attack. He stood, eyes half-closed, over two meters away, his perception ability locked onto the opponentās long blade.
Every subtle movement of the opponentās blade, Song Xiaodong could grasp clearly.
Apart from the changes in the blade, Song Xiaodong was mainly focusing on Akagi Motokatsuās arm movements, even sensing the changes in the opponentās muscles.
No matter the move, arm changes, wrist movements, and muscle fluctuations were fundamental. Even the most skilled martial artist, in order to strike, needed to go through these physical exertions.
Song Xiaodong had previously practiced dodging bullets, focusing on an enemyās fingers. At the moment the finger pulled the trigger, he could determine the direction the bullet was likely to fire and evade it accordingly.
Now it was the same principle as dodging bullets, but using perception ability rather than his eyes, offering a clearer sensation.
In the previous fight with Akagi Motokatsu, Song Xiaodong was constantly deepening his training in this area.
Itās like playing chess; playing with a weaker player never improves oneās skills, but challenging skilled opponents can heighten oneās ability.
After mastering perception ability, Song Xiaodong never met an opponent like Akagi Motokatsu. Comparing Su Zhentian and Dragon Nine to Akagi Motokatsu, their skills evidently fell short.
Under his opponentās pressure, Song Xiaodong trained his perception ability to improve faster and stronger.
Aware the opponent was building up force, Song Xiaodong remained motionless, predicting the opponentās long blade direction and power through muscle changes in the arm.
Song Xiaodong felt Akagi Motokatsuās buildup was like an exhibition, a demonstration.
"Ah!"
With Akagi Motokatsuās loud roar, his buildup completed, a mesh of blade light transformed into a stream of light, slashing directly at Song Xiaodong.
The speed seemed twice as fast as before, with power that could cut through gold and jade.
"Whoa!"
All Kikkawa Kendo people excitedly shouted in unison, their eyes fixed on this moment.
They had waited so long for Akagi Motokatsuās move, just waiting for him to cut Song Xiaodong into several pieces.
At this moment, Dragon Nine and Su Zhentian were tense with worry. Even not in the midst of it, they felt the immense pressure of Akagi Motokatsuās attack. If it were them there, enduring such an attack seemed impossible.
Though Su Zhentian had a long blade stuck in his belly, he completely forgot about it. For a martial artist, meeting such a skilled opponent and witnessing such marvelous moves, the feeling was beyond description.
If this move werenāt executed by the enemy, Su Zhentian would have uncontrollably praised it.
Dragon Nine was filled with regret. He should have stopped Song Xiaodong from receiving the move. But now, he dared not speak. In such a critical moment, any disruption might leave Song Xiaodong with even less of a chance.
"Ah!"
The blade light swiftly flashed, and everyoneās eyes widened, showing disbelief, as if seeing a ghost...
