"Shua!"
When the sharp blade light cut through the air and burst out with the sound of breaking wind, the silver-white blade was already slashing towards Erend at a flashing speed.
This was a very sharp blade, which was swung at the moment when Kane approached, so fast that it was unbelievable.
"Rush from the front at the beginning?"
Erend narrowed his eyes slightly, and when this thought flashed through his mind, his body had already moved naturally, allowing him to raise the Black Furnace Demon Sword and meet the incoming Mandhana.
However, when the Black Furnace Demon Sword was about to collide with Mandhana, Kane actually put away the blade.
"Haaah!"
Kane followed the momentum of the blade, twisted his wrist suddenly, quickly retracted the blade that had been swung out, and then turned quickly, slashing from the other direction toward Erend's side.
"...!"
Erend's body moved naturally again, avoiding the knife from the side by a hair's breadth.
But after the knife slashed into the air, Kane twisted his feet and spun his body, causing the blade to draw an arc in the air, without slowing down at all, and continued to slash at him without dissipating the knife's momentum.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...
The sound of Mandhana cutting through the air continued to sound, causing the silver-white knife light to continuously attack Erend without a pause.
This was a continuous attack without any gaps, and the connection between each attack was so smooth that it left no room for reaction.
Erend wanted to fight back, and the Black Furnace Demon Sword was held up several times by him, trying to block the slash of Mandhana. However, every time the Black Furnace Demon Sword was about to collide with Mandhana, Kane would quickly retract the sword, preventing the blade from contacting the Black Furnace Demon Sword, and would continue to swing and slash at Erend from another direction, forcing Erend to dodge continuously.
At first glance, it seemed as if Kane was waving countless swords, slashing countless sword lights, and constantly attacking Erend.
"Awesome!"
Erend avoided the slash from bottom to top with a difficult move, aiming at the reverse cassock slash on the school emblem on his chest, praising him while retreating quickly.
"Don't even think about running!"
Kane seemed to have become a different person, completely without the weakness of the past, boldly chasing Erend, holding him tightly, showing an extremely strong aggressiveness, swinging extremely smooth swords, slashing from all directions.
One knife after another, and then another, Kane's slashes were not only fast, fierce, and accurate, but also very smooth. After swinging, he could quickly follow up with the next knife, with no tendency to stop.
This made Erend feel like he was gradually trapped in a net, as if he had been surrounded by countless swords and shadows, and he could not escape at all. He could only struggle desperately until he was exhausted, until the silver-white blade cut off his head.
"Here!"
Kane's petite body jumped into the air, spinning constantly, making Mandhana's blade slash at Erend like a gyroscope, sharp and fierce.
"It's not that easy!"
Erend would naturally not sit and wait for death. Seeing that Kane's slashes seemed to be approaching endlessly, he finally stopped hiding his clumsiness, and countless stardust flew all over his body, igniting amazing star power.
Jenni Ortega, who was sitting in the first-class seat, suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"What a strong star power!"
Next to her, Anderson had a solemn face.
He was a Star Vein Generation who was proud of his outstanding amount of star power.
In Butler's memory, he had never met anyone who could match him in terms of the amount of star power, even his sister and anyone in Livermorny, including the twelve people in the first page.
But today, he met someone who might be able to catch up with him in terms of the amount of star power.
"Did he have so much star power?"
Even Claudia did not expect this scene to happen and showed a surprised expression.
Erend concentrated a large amount of star power, condensed the star power on his arm, and actually swung his hand directly, using his arm to block Kane's slash.
"Dang!"
The next second, a sound like metal clashing came from the contact point between Erend's arm and Mandhana.
"What?"
Kane was moved.
Star power can enhance the attack power or defense power of the Star Vein Generation, especially in terms of defense power, the effect is particularly significant.
Kane may not have seen anyone who could block his slash with their hands like this.
How much star power did he use to do this?
You know, he was also from the Star Vein Generation, and Mandhana was a famous sword in history. Its sharpness was not inferior to any heavy-colored weapon and was even stronger than ordinary heavy-colored weapons.
With such a slash, he could cut even steel, right?
Now, it was blocked by someone's body...?
"This is not the time to be dazed, okay?"
Erend's voice came into Kane's ears, and along with it came the scorching slash of the Black Furnace Demon Sword.
"Uh...!"
Kane jumped back fiercely and turned several somersaults in the air to avoid the slash of the Demon Sword.
However, Kane was not happy at all.
"... Lianhe was broken."
Kane's whisper made Erend look interested.
"I see, was that Lianhe of Ferguson Style just now?"
Ferguson-ryu was a very prosperous sword school in this world.
It was a modern emerging school founded at the end of the shogunate. It was essentially a specialized swordsmanship that was good at one-on-one duels and had the reputation of "like folding a crane."
A swordsman who used this swordsmanship was like folding a paper crane in a duel. They could swing the sword continuously in an accurate order and perform continuous attacks to force the enemy into a desperate situation.
The secret of Ferguson-ryu, "Continuous Crane," was the embodiment of this precision. It used up to dozens of sword types to form an infinite combo. It was said that there was no end and no limit. No matter how the opponent defended or dodged, they could continue to attack and chase the opponent with continuous attacks without gaps and interruptions until the opponent was defeated.
Because Ferguson-ryu's disciples were all over the world, there were also many people in Asterisk who could use Ferguson-ryu's swordsmanship, but in fact, there was only one Ferguson-ryu swordsman who had reached the secret of "Continuous Crane."
That was Ferguson, the daughter of the head of the Ferguson-ryu swordsmanship family.
"Ferguson-ryu has a total of 49 combo types, and combining them into a complete continuous attack trick is called Lianhe."
Ferguson's beautiful voice slowly sounded.
"By freely combining these 49 combos, Ferguson-ryu swordsmen can attack and swing their swords continuously, and can also block the opponent's counterattacks through subtle guidance such as breathing, spacing, and vision, creating a situation of suppressing the opponent, and not giving the opponent a chance to breathe until the opponent is defeated."
In the last official ranking battle, the tenth-ranked David was forced into a desperate situation by Ferguson's continuous combos of swords and was defeated without even having the strength to fight back.
"There is no end to Lianhe. Once you get stuck in it, you will never be able to get rid of it. Even the number one ranked before me is like this."
Ferguson showed admiration mixed with admiration.
"Senior is the first person I met who can get rid of Lianhe, and in such an unexpected way..."
"Sure enough, Senior is very strong."
Ferguson's sincere admiration made Erend spread his hands.
"That's me now. If it were me before, I'm afraid I couldn't do such a thing."
Erend had to admit this.
