The flames illuminated the surrounding areas, and every key pass in Pingtian City was breached and guarded by the imperial army disguised as bandits, and they invaded step by step.
However, even if the situation is so bad, there is still a small group of guards, firmly guarding the mansion courtyard, coexisting with the Hirata clan.
"Don't retreat!"
"Everyone gather together! Arrow array! Use me as the arrow!"
A middle-aged man with a shaved Tsukiyo head and a blue and black kimono stood guard in front of the door with a sword drawn, followed by several young inner courtyard guards.
There were many corpses lying around.
There are bandits and there are their own.
Everyone's knife was stained with blood.
Taking advantage of the lull in the bandit's attack, a young nurse seemed to have persisted to the extreme and fell to his knees with a plop.
The leading man turned his head sharply and yelled:
"Stand up!"
"As a guard of the Hirata family, do you want to be a coward and die on your knees here!"
"You trash! Trash!"
Looking up, the young guard's face was covered in blood, and a deep knife mark pierced his cheek.
The young guard knelt on the ground, his tone almost trembling, and the tears and blood on his face were mixed together and it was difficult to distinguish.
"Senior...can we really...be able to hold on?"
"Mizuki is dead, Shinnosuke is dead, Nobita, Xiaofu, Takeru are all dead! Tetsuya's body was chopped into four parts! We can't hold on anymore!"
"There are only a few of us left..."
The only four people around were all injured. When they heard his words, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Scanning in front of him, wherever the man looked, there were broken limbs and arms everywhere, dripping with blood. Some had only heads, some had no heads, and some had their bodies cut into half and were squirming on the ground. The blood was soaked up to their ankles, and there were ponds.
They were all soaked in blood, as if the clear water was dotted with cherry blossoms.
Everyone is desperate.
They should also despair.
Of the seventy-nine guards guarding the mansion, they were the only ones left.
Others were lying in a pool of blood.
Soon, they will also end up like this.
...But who wants to die?
The leading man turned his head, with his back to the front yard that was flooded by fire, and stared at them closely.
The forehead with forehead wrinkles stretched out, and a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth.
He suddenly said loudly:
"Listen up!"
"I am Nogami Gensai!"
"The battle against the pirates, one of Wei Mingzhong!"
The voice was extremely proud.
This is an identity he has never shown off in front of others.
Several people with numb faces suddenly looked up at him, the head of the nursing home who usually looked inconspicuous.
The war against the pirates is the greatest pride in the hearts of all Wei celebrities. Every warrior who participated in the war against the pirates is a hero of Wei celebrities.
In Weiming, no matter how bad the gangsters are, they will not take the name of Weimingzhong.
That battle was also the battle Nogami Gensai was most proud of.
Looking across the group of juniors, Nogami Genzai lectured loudly,
"I said we can hold it, and we will definitely hold it! We must protect the bloodline of the Hirata family!"
"This is the oath we made the moment we were admitted to the hospital."
"If you violate it, it is a blasphemy against yourself! It is a blasphemy against the oath! Even the Buddha will not forgive you!"
"Do you know?"
Upon hearing that the man in front of them was indeed one of the legendary heroes they had heard about since childhood, several people's faces turned red, and the guard who had just knelt down gritted his teeth and stood up.
He lowered his head, looking ashamed.
Who would be willing to show their cowardly side in front of their idol?
Several people shouted and answered with solemn expressions:
"yes!!!"
burn one's boats.
Turning around, another wave of bandits attacked the front yard, but the door was firmly guarded by a few people in a sharp formation. Even though the number of bandits was several times greater than theirs, the formation did not waver at all, just like a wave of people in the waves.
The rocks are motionless.
However, no matter how strong he is, his body cannot continue to support him.
One after another, due to the continuous consumption of physical strength, several people began to make mistakes in the non-stop battle. Every mistake brought a bloody lesson.
By the time this wave of bandits were killed and the group of people had a few seconds of rest, the inner courtyard guard with tears streaming down his face had fallen to the ground, his blue-black kimono soaked with blood, and under the heat of the flames
When roasted, it dried and solidified into purple-black color.
The exposed skin was covered with bloody and hideous scars.
The most serious wound is undoubtedly the puncture wound on the heart.
Beneath his body, the corpse of a bandit who was still dying was pressed tightly, and his heart was also pierced by a knife. The blood of the two people spattered wantonly, and a small pool of blood soon accumulated on the ground.
However, no one else mourned for him, because no one knew whether they would be the next to fall to the ground.
However, even the calmest warrior will inevitably have his hands tremble under the constant pressure of fatigue and fear.
This is true even for Nogami Gensai, who participated in the Battle of the Thieves.
But you can't withdraw.
You can't retreat even if you die.
Boom
Heavy footsteps came from the door,
Several people looked up.
A sturdy man with messy hair, a naked upper body, and a purple robe around his waist came from the front.
He carried a giant sword that was 1.67 meters long on his shoulder with one hand. The blade was covered with light green color and must have been coated with poison.
"It's so slow, those losers."
The giant man held the wine jar in his hand. The wine jar, which was difficult for ordinary people to hold, was as petite as an ordinary cup in his hand. He raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
Nogami Genzai looked at the man in front of him with his eyes fixed, not daring to relax at all.
Several people behind him gritted their teeth and looked directly at the giant.
"belch."
The giant burped and looked at the few people with squinted eyes.
For some reason, he suddenly got angry and slammed the wine bottle on the ground.
"Aren't there only two or three big cats and kittens left? Those bastards can't even kill these people?"
"Damn it, I'll kill them sooner or later."
"Hey, those little brats in front of you, if you know what's going on, kill yourself as soon as possible. This will save you, Anaconda Juzo-sama, a lot of trouble."
"You won't live long anyway, hiccup."
However, Nogami Gensai showed no intention of being irritated. He stepped forward with a calm face and drew his sword.
"Come!"
Anaconda Chongzang opened his eyes slightly drunk, put his big knife on the ground, and mocked:
"Hey, I don't know how to kill a little chicken like you..."
"vomit"
Just as he was talking, Anaconda Juzo lowered his head and retched on the ground as if he was drunk and wanted to vomit.
Nogami Gensai, however, remained calm, moving his feet slightly, his eyes fixed on Anaconda Juzo's chest rising and falling, as if he was feeling very uncomfortable.
As if he didn't see the opponent coming forward for a sneak attack, Anaconda Zhongze suddenly raised his head, pouted his mouth, his chest bulged high, and sprayed a splash of dark green venom from his mouth like an octopus.
Poof
Caught off guard, Nogami Gensai instinctively turned around and rolled to avoid the poison. His shoulders rolled to the ground and were covered in blood.
"ah"
Suddenly there was a groan of pain from behind.
Nogami Gensai turned his head, and the three remaining people at the door were unable to escape and were sprayed by the venom.
The dark green venom fell on the body, leaving scorched black marks as if burned by fire. The skin and muscles shriveled up, and the whole person looked like a mummy.
With just one mouthful of venom, all three of them died from the poisonous pain.
"Haha! You were really careless!"
The anaconda re-hides his smile, which is extremely evil,
"You were sprayed with poison, how could you be so stupid?"
Veins suddenly popped out on Nogami Gensai's forehead. This guy did it on purpose.
Anger shot straight to the top of his head.
Holding the knife and stepping forward, the distance between the two people quickly closed.
Dang Dang!
The two knives connected, and Nogami Gensai felt that his wrist was misaligned in just a moment. The huge force made his face turn black, and his left hand holding the handle of the knife diagonally twisted into a strange shape. His right hand was red and trembling, and blood almost flowed from his pores.
overflow.
However, Anaconda Juzo was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, with a ferocious smile on his face, and then he struck again with a knife.
The broadsword fell, and the blade lifted off the ground with heavy wind pressure.
Nogami Genzai rolled away, looking ugly.
I didn't expect this guy to be so big and move so quickly. Even though the blade is thick, it is still a weak point. It can almost be used as a shield when turned sideways.
After just one face-to-face encounter, Nogami Gensai realized the strength gap between himself and his opponent.
He can't stop this person.
But so what?!
Nogami Xuanzhai's face was ferocious, his eyes were locked and he shouted:
"Listen up!"
"I am Nogami Gensai!"
"The battle against the pirates, one of Wei Mingzhong!"
As members of the Wei Ming people, even if we know we are defeated, we should still be brave, bathe in blood with our bodies, and defend the enemy with our swords.
These simple words are his life and everything to him.
His voice was as proud as ever.
However, I still feel a little ashamed in my heart.
Thinking of the Hirata mansion behind him and the blazing flames in front of the door, Nogami Gensai couldn't help but shake his head hard.
"I was careless..."
"Master Kuro..."
Anaconda Chongzang's eyes were sarcastic, and he swung down the light green sword. The heavy blade made a whistling sound. Just from the harsh sound, you could hear how powerful this blow was.
"Hey, Wei Mingzhong? Come on then! Come and block my sword..."
Before Anaconda Chongzang could finish his words, a flying shuttle plopped into the rockery beside him at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Anaconda Chongzang's eyes froze, and his huge figure immediately froze, and his movements were agile.
Avoid the wire.
Although his body is so huge, his body skills are more agile than that of a cat.
But before he could react, Nogami Gensai, who was standing opposite him, saw a figure flash in the night sky. Behind Anaconda Juzo, it spun like a top and passed through the air. The blade was like flowing water from Anaconda Juzo.
The back of his neck rolled for a moment, and the huge head immediately rose into the sky.
thump
The huge and fat body fell into a pool of blood, causing a splash of blood.
Han Baiyi picked up a small bead from Anaconda Chongzang's body and ran towards the door without looking back.
After a while, the shadow disappeared.
Nogami Gensai stood there with a confused look on his face.
It was as if the corpse in front of him was an illusion.
