Chapter 1382: The Audience Actually Made a Move!
"Traceless Flash!"
During the fierce battle, the blade in Tatekata's hand, covered in azure blue Chakra aura, vanished without a trace in an instant. However, Yajime Hime easily dodged it using her sensory ability.
Immediately, she swung the 'Imperial Arm: Kiriichimonji' and launched a counterattack.
She had long since awakened Observation Haki, so this so-called sword skill, invisible to the naked eye, posed no threat at all.
Not to mention the obvious whistling sound it made.
"Secret Technique: Silent Stab!" Tatekata shouted inwardly.
But immediately, Yajime Hime discovered that the blade Tatekata swung over was not only invisible to the naked eye, but even its sound began to gradually disappear.
This forced her to rely solely on Observation Haki to deal with the attack.
At the same time, she felt fortunate to have Observation Haki, otherwise, facing this swordsmanship that was invisible and inaudible would be far too troublesome.
Crucially, the Wind Release Chakra on the opponent's blade could also constantly change the attack distance depending on the amount of Chakra output.
This made it impossible to judge based on blade length.
Honestly, without Observation Haki or other powerful sensory ability, one wouldn't know how to compete with Tatekata in melee combat.
Tatekata had also used this Secret Technique to take down quite a few Ninja.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have little effect on Yajime Hime now, and he hadn't awakened Observation Haki.
Currently, he could only engage in a relatively difficult resistance against Yajime Hime by relying on years of swordsmanship experience and Chakra-enhanced sensory ability.
Tatekata hadn't expected this girl, who looked like she had just reached adulthood, to be so powerful.
In terms of pure swordsmanship skill, he felt that Yajime Hime was above him!
Various exquisite sword skills that exceeded his expectations were effortlessly wielded in her hands.
Even as an opponent, he would subconsciously admire them.
Of course, the price was that wounds began to appear on his body.
"What Breathing Style is that?"
Looking at the streaks of azure glow appearing on the 'Imperial Arm: Kiriichimonji', Tatekata finally couldn't help but ask.
He knew about the existence of the 'Demon Slayer Breathing Style', he just hadn't had time to learn it yet.
But among the 'Five Great Basic Styles', none seemed to generate blue phantasms.
"Insect!"
Yajime Hime had a good impression of Tatekata, so she didn't mind informing him.
Yes, she controlled Shinobu Kocho's 'Insect Breathing'.
Master Yudao, under the authorization of the World Government, collected all the swordsmanship of the world, thus mastering the 'Demon Slayer Breathing Style' of all styles.
Based on her swordsmanship style and the effect of the 'Imperial Arm: Murasame', Yajime Hime chose 'Insect Breathing', which combined high-speed stab and toxin.
But she didn't need to specifically learn how to prepare various toxins.
Because 'Murasame''s Cursed Poison was the most malicious toxin; it could even kill the soul within the human body!
To be honest, in Yajime Hime's opinion, if this were battlefield combat, Tatekata would already be a corpse by now.
But since it was a match, they might as well treat it as swordsmanship sparring.
She also wanted to see what exquisite aspects the Ninja World's swordsmanship had, and then learn them.
"Use your Special Move, otherwise, you won't have a chance."
Yajime Hime gently reminded the increasingly distressed Tatekata.
Tatekata's expression was stern. Being told this by a girl much younger than himself, he naturally felt unwilling.
But the fact was right before his eyes; the opponent's strength was simply stronger than his.
"Haaah—"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Infinite Consecutive Slashes!"
Tatekata gritted his teeth and made up his mind, a more turbulent Chakra aura erupting from his body.
In an instant, the speed of his swinging blade soared.
Dense, yet always invisible to the naked eye and inaudible to the ears, formless slashes pressed towards Yajime Hime like pouring rain.
The power of these slashes was extremely terrifying.
They were the product of his combination of Wind Release Chakra and a Sword Master's Flying Slash Attack.
However, Yajime Hime felt disappointment about this.
While easily dodging every sharp, formless slash using Observation Haki, she murmured softly:
"Is this your full strength? But I don't see anything worth learning."
Indeed, in terms of skill, the swordsmanship of the Ninja World had few exquisite aspects compared to the Sea Star, the Imperial Arms World, or even the Demon Slayer World.
Even the Samurai of the Land of Iron mostly relied on the augmentation of Chakra to suppress the Ninja in terms of movement speed and attack speed.
[Bang!!!]
Suddenly, the Magic Barrier behind Yajime Hime couldn't withstand the formless slashes blasting over.
It shattered on the spot under the terrified gaze of the Mage responsible for maintaining the barrier.
This situation was different from Lian Ya's refracted Light Beams before.
Although those light beams were numerous, they were distributed among each Magic Barrier, giving them enough time to input magic power.
But this time, all the formless slashes bombarded this one Magic Barrier wave after wave.
"It's over..."
The B-Rank Mage witnessed the barrier shards splashing before his eyes, wide-eyed.
He could already imagine the screen feed of himself being cut into pieces and the heavy casualties among the audience on the grandstand behind him.
"Not good!!!"
Because the matter happened too suddenly.
Even Doflamingo and Shanks on the Rostrum didn't have time to act.
Let alone Kaido, Hong Lian, and others in the Colored Cloud Box at high altitude.
[Swish! Swish! Swish!]
Just in the nick of time.
On the first, third, and fourth floors of the grandstand that were attacked, three people actually turned into afterimages and leapt out at high speed.
One person drew the long saber from their waist and swung out a pale blue blade light forward, intercepting the formless slashes on the left side.
One person clapped their palms together in front of them, then opened them, and a large number of white plates appeared in front of them, quickly connecting into large sections of wall, frontally blocking the formless slashes in the middle.
One person's body surged with crackling Electro, their already blackened fists and legs turned into streaks of afterimages, clashing with the formless slashes on the right side.
[Bang bang bang bang----]
A series of deafening explosion sounds kept ringing out.
It even startled Yajime Hime and Tatekata inside the court, causing them to stop their movements. The former had a surprised expression, while the latter felt lingering fear.
"That is..."
The Mumei Sword Master who made the move let out hearty laughter: "Don't mind us, keep fighting! This little aftermath is nothing serious!"
"Right, don't underestimate us Sea Star People."
Another woman, who seemed to be a Devil Fruit User, said lightly.
Finally, the Mink Tribe youth resembling a 'silver tabby cat', his whole body crackling with Electro, nodded in agreement with the two.
"We can protect ourselves, no need for you to worry!"
While the three were speaking, men and women jumped out from every floor of the grandstand.
Some stood on the steps or landed around them, their numbers reaching over a hundred.
They were of varying ages and varying races, their aura strong and weak.
But they were all Experts who chose to resolutely make a move and were confident they could block this level of aftermath.
This scene left the tens of billions of audience members from various worlds in front of the screen stunned.
Only then did they realize that the audience of the Sea Star was different from theirs.
Especially the five hundred thousand audience members who managed to buy Live Tickets for the Multiverse Duel Arena.
No one knew how many Experts from the Major Seas existed within.
Their strength might not be as good as the Top 100 Contestants, but when teaming up, they could completely handle this level of aftermath.
"Wororororo~~~"
Inside the Colored Cloud Box, Kaido immediately threw his head back and let out extremely hearty wild laughter.
"That's right, this is what we Sea Star People are like!"
Little Ace and Yamato beside him were extremely excited, their eyes filled with pride.
Sea Star People were not as frail as Otherworlders!
"Fufufufufu~~"
On the Rostrum, although Doflamingo didn't speak, a satisfied smile also appeared on his face.
One has to say, these audience members really brought honor!
"As expected, my choice was not wrong. Compared to freedom, protection is more important..."
Shanks sighed inwardly, completely letting go of the last trace of conflict.
Im on Noah's Ark was also very happy.
"Well done. Write down all the people who stepped forward. Reward each person one million Berry!"
Stussy smiled and agreed from the side: "Yes, I shall obey your Imperial Will."
