Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Heavenly Sword Art, Swords Bow Down
Okisuke was taken aback. Lord Mifune actually wanted to compete with Uchiha Sasuke?
The warriors were thrilled, "Lord Mifune is the strongest swordsman in the Land of Iron. We're so lucky to witness this!"
Karin was not pleased, "Didn't we just have a match? Why do we have to compete again?"
Mifune explained, "I mean no harm. I just saw that Uchiha Sasuke is so skilled in swordsmanship, and I couldn't resist the urge to compete with him."
Karin protested, "My Sasuke is not a sparring partner. Why should we agree to this?"
Mifune looked at Sasuke, stroking his beard with a smile, "How about this? I have some influence in the Land of Iron. If you win, I will owe you a favor. How does that sound?"
Okisuke gasped. Lord Mifune's favor was something the warriors of the Land of Iron would fight for!
Karin scratched her head, "Sasuke, why not take this opportunity to ask Mifune to support the Ryūnosuke Society? What do you think?"
Sasuke nodded slightly, "That's what I was thinking..."
Besides, he wanted to test his new entry: Heavenly Sword Technique.
Soon, Sasuke and Mifune faced each other.
Okisuke announced, "This is a swordsmanship competition, no chakra allowed. Now, let the match begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mifune assumed the stance of Iai Slash.
"Uchiha Sasuke, where is your sword?"
Sasuke stood with his arms folded, "I won't need a sword for this match."
Mifune's eyes narrowed. What an arrogant young man, not using a sword against me?
Karin was puzzled. No, Sasuke isn't usually this arrogant... But he does look very handsome when he's so confident...
Suddenly, Sasuke's aura changed.
Boom!
In an instant, an invisible pressure fell on everyone's shoulders. Even someone as strong as Okisuke was forced to one knee. The warriors fared worse, all kneeling.
Mifune was about to kneel but held on at the last moment. He was shocked. What an incredible pressure, as if Uchiha Sasuke himself had become a peerless divine sword!
Okisuke struggled to look up at Sasuke. What a terrifying sword intent, so piercing that it was hard to look directly at it. Is there no limit to this boy's talent in kendo?
Sasuke glanced at Mifune lightly. He was able to withstand the pressure of the Heavenly Sword Technique. He was indeed worthy of being the general of the Land of Iron. However, Sasuke had only used three-tenths of his strength...
Mifune's forehead was covered in cold sweat. No, he had to act immediately. If he delayed, he wouldn't even have a chance to act!
To be honest, even when he was young and fought against the "demigod" Hanzo of the Salamander, he didn't feel such great pressure!
Chi—
Mifune slowly unsheathed his sword, ready to act at any moment.
Seeing this, Okisuke was excited. Indeed, Lord Mifune was unfazed by this level of pressure. He could be ten times stronger!
It happened in a flash. Mifune rushed to Sasuke in the blink of an eye. With a clang, a cold light flashed, so fast it seemed to cut a hole in space.
Sasuke smirked but still didn't dodge.
Karin clenched her fist nervously.
Okisuke was full of regret. It was a pity for the young genius. Uchiha Sasuke would pay a heavy price for his arrogance!
At this moment, everyone was regretful.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
Buzz!
Thousands of swords rang and unsheathed themselves.
Swish!
The next second, dozens of iron swords were neatly inserted in front of Sasuke, as if kneeling to worship the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords.
At the same time, Mifune felt the sword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, making a mournful sound.
What was happening?
Crack!
The sword broke on its own. The broken sword brushed past Sasuke.
Mifune was stunned. How could this be possible?
Okisuke gasped. Just now, Mifune's sword actually broke on its own, as if it didn't want to... or more precisely, didn't dare to touch Uchiha Sasuke...
For a while, Mifune took back the broken sword, his heart full of shock.
No one knew better than him what had just happened. Just when the iron sword was about to cut Uchiha Sasuke, he seemed to see the other party turn into a sword!
Could this be the realm of the "Heavenly Sword" he had been pursuing?
Mifune's expression was complicated. He didn't expect that after practicing hard for most of his life and not touching the edge, he would see the "Heavenly Sword" in a teenager.
Mifune suddenly felt frustrated and couldn't help but sigh to the sky, "I lost."
Okisuke bit his lip. Since Sasuke was born, why was Mifune born?
It's not that Lord Mifune isn't strong; it's just that Uchiha Sasuke is too extraordinary!
The eyes of the warriors were burning. What a powerful boy!
Not long after, Sasuke returned with Mifune's promise to support the Ryūnosuke Society and the golden entries he gained.
[Ding, defeated Mifune, reward entry: Sword Master (Gold ★★★☆)]
[Ding, merged with the Sword Master, the Heavenly Sword Technique is automatically upgraded]
[Heavenly Sword Technique (Gold ★☆☆☆☆) → Heavenly Sword Technique (Gold ★★☆☆☆)]
Soon, the news that Sasuke defeated Mifune spread like wildfire in the Land of Iron. He took this opportunity to announce the establishment of the "Ryūnosuke Society" in a high-profile manner.
