Martial Arts Livestreaming

Wu Li's appearance attracted the attention of everyone on the hillside, and Nakakino Oto also looked over immediately. This was his first time seeing Wu Li, the man who had killed two of his disciples.

Today, Wu Li was dressed in white Martial Arts Uniform, holding a sheathed slender Tang Sword, step by step, walking up to the hillside.

His pace was not fast. As he approached step by step, he seemed to grow larger and larger, like a deity stepping into the mortal world!

All the martial artists present were experts, each had seen bloodshed and killed, full of courage, but everyone unconsciously averted their eyes after meeting Wu Li's gaze, not daring to look more.

"It really is World's No.1."

Many people had this thought in their hearts, they just watched Wu Li slowly approaching, and couldn't summon the courage to confront him.

Only one person watched Wu Li calmly the entire time without any ripple in his heart, it was the Sword Saint Nakakino Oto!

At this moment, Wu Li was also interestedly observing Nakakino Oto. The opponent gave him a very upright and peaceful feeling, as if blending in with the surrounding mountains, trees, and rivers. Thus, no matter how astonishing Wu Li's aura was at the moment, the opponent remained undisturbed, bearing somewhat the sentiment of "you may be strong, but the bright moon still illuminates the river."

[Natural Reasoning Heart Flow (Grandmaster Level), Toshima Style (Master Level), One Sword Style (Master Level)…]

[Spirit: 182

Power: 167

Body: 113]

[Ultimate Move: Attack, Defensive]

These were the data of Nakakino Oto. As a generation's Sword Saint, his expertise in Natural Reasoning Heart Flow swordsmanship had reached the Grandmaster level, and he also mastered several other Master Level swordsmanship. His spirit, power, body values, energy, spirit, and body control were not much weaker than Wu Li's, only his body value, due to old age and physical decline, was much lower than his peak period, but he still possessed Grandmaster level Explosive Power.

Judging merely from the data, Nakakino Oto was comprehensively behind Wu Li. However, today's contest was with weapons, a far more dangerous affair than bare hands; a direct confrontation might decide the outcome in a few moves. Adding to that, Wu Li's forte wasn't in swordsmanship, so many people on the Island Country side were confident in Nakakino Oto.

Wu Li walked up the hillside and stood about ten steps away from Nakakino Oto.

"Tell me, how do you want to compare?" Wu Li asked, looking at Nakakino Oto.

At this moment, Mutian Gongxiong, who was watching beside, stepped forward and said in fairly fluent Chinese, "We have no other rules, just one: during the combat, you must not step out of this circle; otherwise, you lose!"

After saying that, someone took white ash and drew a circle on the ground around Wu Li and Nakakino Oto.

The circle wasn't large, a step back from either person would have them out of the circle.

"Hmph, it's my first time seeing someone drawing a circle to restrict movements before a sword duel."

Among the spectators, Chinese Boxers from the Green Gang, including Chasing Light Swordsman Yang Yu, were present. At this moment, he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"What kind of method is this?"

"Wu Master has already agreed to a sword duel; you still play this trick, and you call yourself a Sword Saint, pah!"

...

The rest of the Chinese Boxers also spoke up, none of them approved of this method proposed by Island Country.

Everyone was not foolish; it was obvious that the Island Country side was forcing Wu Li into a direct confrontation with Nakakino Oto, leaving no room for manoeuvre or dodging.

In fact, given Wu Li's current fame and status, along with Nakakino Oto's age, if Wu Li were to win disgracefully, it would be tantamount to losing. However, even so, it would still be better than if Wu Li truly lost!

Because Wu Li was now recognized as the World's No.1 expert by the Chinese Martial Arts community, and this battle had attracted so many spectators, practically representing the entire Chinese Martial Arts Circle. If he truly lost to the Island Country's Sword Saint, it wouldn't just be a loss of face for one person or even just a few societies, but a loss of face for the whole of Chinese Martial Arts!

Moreover, if Nakakino Oto won against Wu Li today, all of Wu Li's previous fame would be as if he had made a wedding dress for someone else, and the title of World's No.1 would likely become Nakakino Oto's, which undoubtedly would be great for the Island Country Martial Arts World but quite the opposite for the Chinese Martial Arts World.

So the Chinese Boxers present couldn't help but speak up; they naturally hoped Wu Li could win gloriously, but if not, at least there should be a way out, instead of having no escape before the fight even began like now.

Many people from the Island Country side understood and spoke Chinese as well, and they too responded at this moment.

"Mr. Nakakino is already seventy-three years old; since you all claim Wu Li is the World's No.1, why so many concerns against an old man of seventy-three?"

"Our Island Country's swordsmanship duels have always had this custom, what's inappropriate about it?"

"This restriction is the same for both parties, what's unfair about it?"

...

For a moment, the argument on both sides was intense, and it looked like it might come to blows.

"Quiet!"

Suddenly, Wu Li exhaled and shouted, his huge voice carrying a strange rhythm, like a chant, like the ringing of a temple bell, spreading far and wide, causing everyone to subconsciously shut their mouths and look towards him.

The expression in Nakakino Oto's eyes changed for a moment; Wu Li's Sound Strike just now had actually made his qi and blood fluctuate slightly. If they were to clash, and Wu Li suddenly shouted like that up close, it might become a surprising move to gain an advantage!

Yet, Wu Li did not hide this technique, revealing it in advance in front of Nakakino Oto.

"Does he have many such moves, or does he simply disdain to use such moves against me?"

A ripple stirred in Nakakino Oto's otherwise undisturbed heart, silently pondering.

Once the scene quieted down, Wu Li looked at Mutian Gongxiong: "Fine, let's go by that rule."

Mutian Gongxiong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly nodded, "Okay!"

Then he stepped back into the crowd and stopped speaking.

Seeing that Wu Li had openly agreed, the other Chinese Boxers found it difficult to say more, they could only watch Wu Li with anticipation, waiting for the duel to start.

Wu Li turned his head to Nakakino Oto, "You're already seventy-three years old, yet you still dare to challenge me. That's truly admirable."

Nakakino Oto couldn't understand Chinese, but the group of Island Country people behind him who did understand changed their expressions, visibly angered since, given Wu Li's age and seniority, speaking like this to Nakakino Oto was hard for them to accept.

However, putting aside age and seniority, given Wu Li's position as the current World's No.1 expert, he had every right to speak this way.

"I don't wish to take advantage, so I'll give you three moves." Wu Li continued.

"After three moves, your life is mine."

Wow!

There was a sudden commotion; on the Island Country side, Mutian Gongxiong was first taken aback, then overjoyed, quickly translating for Nakakino Oto in Japanese.

After hearing Mutian Gongxiong's translation, the expression in Nakakino Oto's eyes finally sharpened.
