There is a smell in the world called the smell of blood. The wronged souls and blood stains of every person who was beheaded will be infected into the bone marrow of the person holding the knife. Buddhism cannot transcend it and cannot be completely resolved. It can only be covered up by cultivation.
The most important thing is that when two or two groups of people who are also exuding blood meet, they can be sensed by each other even without the naked eye. This kind of mysterious and vague consciousness is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The surrounding area has gradually calmed down, and the situation has become very clear. With fewer enemies and more enemies, the Shinsengumi won a complete victory, and no one in the main force above the captain was lost.
Except for the team members who went in pursuit, the rest were taking care of the injured ronin all over the ground. Hijikata Toshizo's order was very clear not to leave any prisoners alive.
"The rebel leader Miyabe was defeated by the director and was executed. The director has personally asked for his head. We have won!" With a roar full of joy in the room, everyone couldn't help but cheer. Even after completing the task
The team of Saitoichi and Okita Souji who were responsible for patrolling the surrounding area also breathed a sigh of relief.
"She still didn't show up! Battosai..." Okita was smiling, but there was no expression of joy. Saito raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face, and said calmly: "That's fine."
"Nani?" Okita was shocked, "Brother Saito, don't you also want to have a showdown with him for the second time?"
"In this case, Battousai will die immediately if he appears! There is nothing to be happy about if you and I beat him." Saito pointed to the Shinsengumi banner with the word "Sincerity" flying in the courtyard and said seriously: "
The rules in the game are no joke, brother Okita."
"Based on the swordsmanship style of Battosai and I, maybe five moves...three moves can tell the difference between life and death, and there is no need for team members to support..." Okita muttered.
"You think too highly of Battosai." Saito said with a half-smile, "He can't kill you within three or five moves."
Okita's face was happy, and then he seemed to understand the meaning of Saito's words, and complained with a black face: "Hey, Brother Saito, do you mean that I am not his opponent? Is it true to talk to you people?
It’s so boring!”
"Maybe...I am not his opponent, but he wants to kill me and escape unscathed, which is absolutely impossible!" Saito said firmly.
"Captain Saito! Captain Okita! There's a situation here!" A team member came panting and pointed in one direction: "When checking the number of people, we found that five people were killed. We found an alley, they, they...
…”
"Go quickly!" Saito and others waved their hands, raised their knives and rushed to the scene of the incident. Bodies all over the ground were lying quietly on the stone slabs.
"Less than half a moment after death, the corpse is still hot..." He opened the corpse and examined it carefully, and then said: "The opponent's swordsmanship was extremely fierce. Three corpses were stabbed through the throat, one had his neck cut off, and the last one had his neck cut off.
The tool... actually pierced the front and rear chainmail! Brother Okita..."
"Well, I know, this kind of swordsmanship, this kind of bloody smell that no amount of blood can cover up... it must be him!" Souji Okita looked around with burning eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Batousai
!I know you are coming, come out and fight to the death!"
There was silence all around.
Saito shook his head, stopped Okita Souji, and said loudly: "Kasuru Kogoro has been captured by us, Battosai, you are late. If you want to save your life, run away quickly."
Kenshin hid in the corner and looked around cautiously, his left arm still being held tightly by Yukidaiba.
He clearly heard the news that the leader of the loyalists, Miyabe Daizo, had been killed. Although he had different political views with Katsura Kogoro, this stern and strong leader was still highly respected by Kenshin.
Kenshin's heart bleeds as the patriot against the barbarians suffers such a heavy blow, but it is too late. He is now more worried about Katsura Kogoro's safety. If it weren't for the fact that Yukishiroba next to him was almost hanging on him, he would have been unable to hold back his thoughts.
You have to rush out to save people, even if you fail and get killed!
"Huh? Got discovered? Hey, what a boring trick..." As an old rival, he was very familiar with Okita Souji's voice. He sneered silently and had no intention of showing up. His most important task now was to find Katsura Kogoro.
, instead of dueling with that genius swordsman.
However, when Saitoichi's words reached his ears, Kenshin immediately felt blood rush into his cheeks. Although he was not sure whether this was the Shinsengumi's conspiracy, and what he saw along the way made it clear to him that the Shinsengumi did not
The plan is to capture the patriot alive, even if Katsura Kogoro has fallen into their hands, he will be brutally killed, but sometimes, the brain cannot control the action at all!
If possible, that person would definitely not be called Himura Kenshin!
Shaking Yukiyoba away, ignoring the horrified expression on the other side, he strode across the small bridge between the two alleys, came straight to Saito Kazuo and Okita Souji, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Kasura
Sir, where is it?" From the voice to the pressure, this sentence has a somewhat empty flavor.
"Haha, Brother Saito, I really admire you. You are really unique in not leaking out." The smile on Souji Okita's face was overflowing, and the depression that had lasted for several days was swept away!
Saito's face was not flattering, but rather a little apologetic, but he regained his composure in an instant and said seriously: "It may be disgraceful to use Katsura Kogoro to bully you into showing up, but you are the sworn enemy of the shogunate, so I'm sorry... Battosai,
After you die in battle, I will bury you with all my heart."
"So, you didn't catch Mr. Gui? You should have expected it. How could he be discovered so easily by you shogunate lackeys!" Kenshin muttered to himself.
He was not worried about his safety at this time, but instead breathed a long sigh of relief. In his opinion, his role in the fall of the curtain was incomparable to Katsura Kogoro, not to mention that he had no chance to rush out.
!
Silently looking at the small bridge behind him with his peripheral vision, he was shocked to find a stumbling figure in white running towards it.
"Ba...this stupid woman..."
Kenshin sighed secretly, leaned forward as much as possible and raised his head. He held the sword in his left hand, and pointed the scabbard diagonally at the sky behind him. The tiger's mouth of his right hand was close to the sword and he pressed the handle. His two pupils did not seem to focus on any enemy, but everyone on the opposite side was focused on them.
It feels like Kenshin is spying on him. This is the strongest starting move of the Flying Sword Style that Kenshin currently masters.
Although Hiko did not teach the ultimate secret of Kenshin's sect, "Tian Xiang Long Flash", Kenshin's cultivation seems to have been vaguely in touch with the essence of this secret.
, almost similar to Tianxiang Dragon Flash, perhaps a subconscious reaction of being forced into a desperate situation.
Okita Souji had no one else in his eyes at this time. He pulled out the scabbard and threw it aside as if he was attracted. He set up an irregular Zuo Ba Xiang stance, with the blade pointed upward, the tip slightly drooping, pointing straight at the center of the sword.
It’s the natural Rishin-ryu Ogihira Aoyan who Souji Okita has been raping for ten years!
For Okita Souji, who can use this unique skill at the age of twelve and kill his opponent on the spot, this move can only be regarded as a simple swordsmanship in the natural Rishin-ryu, but he has upgraded it to the height of mystery.
The three-stage thrust is so gorgeous that it can be called Okita Souji's unique skill. Apart from him, no one can use this skill perfectly.
One is a fallen warrior whose fire of life is as strong as the rising sun, and the other is a shogunate warrior who burns his last glory with his soul. The two top young swordsmen of this era are about to unleash their strongest blow!
