The rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the middle-aged boss' cough was almost inaudible.
Okita was stunned. He wanted to laugh out loud. He had killed many people over the years. Some of them cursed, some begged, some were tempting, some were threatening, some were silent... but there was no such thing as a matter of course.
's command.
But as a top swordsman, his intuition told him that it was best to do what the person in front of him said, otherwise something extremely ominous would definitely happen!
Since his apprenticeship, no one has allowed him to have such an intuition. Even when facing the violent Serizawa Kama, he always had a smile on his face, because he knew that although he was not his opponent for the time being, it was because regardless of his body, his swordsmanship was already at its peak.
He still has a lot of room for growth, and it is not difficult to surpass the opponent in a short period of time. Even if he fights his best immediately, it is still unclear who will live and who will die in the end. Therefore, Okita is quite confident, which is the pride of a swordsman.
But after the man in front of him said this with a calm expression, he couldn't even think of any resistance. If this person is not proficient in martial arts, he will definitely be in a high position for a long time, just like the guardian of Kyoto; if he is proficient in swordsmanship, why?
Can't sense his martial arts at all? This, this...
Souji Okita couldn't help but cautiously hold the hilt of his sword, straightened his expression, bowed slightly and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
The middle-aged boss coughed slightly and said calmly: "Master of Yiyiweiya Cuisine."
"Have you ever learned a sword?" "You know a little bit." "In that case, what confidence do you have in letting me spare your lives?"
"Haha." The boss laughed lowly, "I forgot to say thank you just now. I'll make it up now, please."
Even though Okita Souji has a clear mind, he is still an arrogant young swordsman after all. Hearing this almost insulting joke, he couldn't help but become furious in his heart. The smile on his face became stronger and his two peach blossom eyes narrowed.
Forming a uniform arc, he nodded, took a slight step back with his left foot, and slowly turned around, seemingly about to leave.
Outside the window, a bolt of lightning shot straight down from the sky. At the same time, Okita Souji drew his sword, turned his feet, and stabbed straight. The three movements were in a line. His upper body did not move at all. Only his feet on the floor drove his body to rotate.
The end point of cutting is right at the throat of the middle-aged boss!
The feet of the mysterious water bird that turns around quickly!
Before the light and shadow of the lightning dissipated, Okita Souji's sword had already touched the opponent's skin. The most amazing thing was that such a lightning-fast sword technique did not cause any sound of wind, and there was only an undetectable friction sound from his feet.
Although the name of this move "Water Bird Foot" is unremarkable and even has a sense of elegance and romance, the insidiousness contained in it can be said to be the pinnacle of the assassin's sword.
Just like a water bird standing leisurely and silently, it suddenly turns around without warning and plunges its long and sharp beak into the water. The fish has become the food of the water bird without realizing it because the movement range is too small and the movement is too fast.
, not even a trace of water splashed.
Okita Souji can swear that this is the most powerful sword he has ever fired! He will pay at his own risk that if he faces this sword, he will have no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death.
He didn't feel the sound of metal penetrating into his flesh. He was contemplating this move and when he took a closer look, his back suddenly lifted up. The pores on his body stood straight up and cold sweat spewed out. He was like an orange cat struck by lightning. He was already beyond the limit.
One's own ability to tolerate unknown things.
I saw the thumb and index finger of the opponent's left hand twisting the chrysanthemum's chrysanthemum, so gently, it seemed that the hard and sharp chrysanthemum petals in the opponent's hands were as fragile as the chrysanthemum petals, fearing that they would be crushed with just a little force. This was like lightning.
The sword power quietly disappeared on those fingers, and a strange sense of harmony suddenly appeared in the room.
"It's interesting. It's especially difficult for you to do this at your age. It's just that you're too angry and the fish has already swam far away. No matter how sharp your beak is, it's useless."
Okita Souji didn't dare to move, and the smile he kept on his face became a little distorted due to muscle stiffness. After an unknown amount of time, he finally got up the courage to look at the other person, but he saw the two fingers on the tip of the sword for unknown reasons.
It has been taken back since then.
The young swordsman's mind went blank. He kept this posture and didn't know whether to advance or retreat, how to advance or how to retreat.
"Husband, you scared this kid." A soft voice suddenly broke the still space. The proprietress scolded and turned to look at Okita Souji who didn't dare to move: "Young man from the Shinsengumi, I'm a concubine."
My husband is joking with you. You and your friends should leave immediately after you finish your work. It’s very late and we have to open the store tomorrow.”
Okita Souji took three big steps back. Although he saw that the man with terrifying cultivation in front of him had no intention of killing him, he still supported his body with his sword with both hands to prevent him from collapsing. The smile on his face
The meaning had already flown beyond the sky, and he spoke in a low and difficult voice: "Senior, you are a master of swordsmanship, why do you need to tease me?"
The middle-aged boss stared at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh? So, you are dissatisfied with me?" Okita Souji wanted to say "yes", but his intuition told him not to answer like this, so this time he obeyed.
intuition.
"Senior is joking, can you give me a great name? It's too late today, we will leave immediately, and I will come to you one day to apologize." He finally regained his strength, lowered his head and put the sword back into its sheath quickly and gently, even though it was against the way of holding a sword.
, but the advantage is that it will not cause misunderstanding. Look, I no longer have any intention to attack.
The soft voice of the landlady sounded again: "The three of us are just ordinary people who want to live a stable life. There is no need to pay a special visit. You adults can just take care of our business."
"Let's go and pick up the body." The boss waved his hand.
Okita Souji knelt on the floor and bowed respectfully. He held Serizawa Kama's head, picked up the two corpses and bowed again to the boss and his family. Then he slowly backed away until he could no longer see the figures.
, then slowly turned around and went downstairs.
A cold female voice faintly whispered from inside: "Husband, if you want to kill them all, maybe I can do it myself without any trouble."
Okita staggered and was so frightened that he almost threw away the body and ran away. At this time, the voice of the landlady came again: "Don't be ridiculous. The government will come to investigate tomorrow. I'll clean up and get some rest early."
Okita Souji quickened his pace, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief until he met several teammates. He ignored Kondo Isamu's greeting and Hijikata's questioning eyes, lowered his head and threw the body out of the store, and softly ordered: "Everyone, try to clean it as much as possible.
Some." Hijikata stopped Isamu Kondo, who was about to speak again, and asked others to clean up the downstairs together. Then he escorted Niimi Nishiki, who was captured alive, and took the lead to leave in a hurry.
After walking a hundred steps away, Hijikata Toshizo and Saito Ichi stopped at the same time, looked at the small shop in the dark, looked at each other thoughtfully, and disappeared into the rain after catching up with the large group.
This dispatch successfully killed Serizawa Kamo and his gang members. Except for three team members who were slightly injured, no one was lost. It was perfect. However, Okita Souji's strange behavior in the end made everyone feel depressed.
