Kazuyo Sorayama and his family looked at Yukiyoba who had packed his bags and was dressed for a long trip. It was not yet bright at this time. If Kazuyo Sorayama hadn't sensed the woman hesitating outside the door, he might have missed it.
"Have you and Kenshin already..." Sanai's eyes lit up. The woman's excessive state obviously couldn't be hidden from her, but what surprised her was why Yukiyoba appeared here alone.
"I have always thanked you for your care, seniors." Yukiyo Barourou bowed, "So before I leave, I would like to pay one last visit to my seniors, and...if Himura-san comes to call, please tell him that I am fine.
Let him rest assured."
"If that's the case, why..." Sanai responded and nodded, "It seems that you still can't let go completely! Are you going back to your hometown in Edo?"
Xuedaba nodded.
"The current world is not very peaceful. Be careful of being kidnapped by bandits and become your wife." Wuzi bared his teeth and threatened.
Yukidaiba smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. I will go to the hotel and wait for the opportunity. Oh, he is my younger brother. Although he is young, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Most people are not his opponents." In addition, I also want to know the final outcome of Kenshin.
Is it safe or not... Yukidaiba thought silently.
Looking at Yukishiroba's silently walking back, Sanai sighed: "I don't know how anxious Kenshin will be when he wakes up and finds that his woman is missing. Will he find trouble with those ninjas in anger?"
Kazuyo Sorayama nodded: "Even if this woman doesn't leave, this stupid boy will kill those ninjas today."
Kiroko's eyes lit up instantly, and she said happily: "Let's go and help secretly. Ninjas are cunning guys. Little Kenshin has been a farmer for so long, and maybe he has forgotten how to use a sword. What if something happens?
It’s an accident…”
"Huh, if he dies at the hands of these third-rate ninjas, it's not worth saving him again. But there's nothing to do now anyway. If you're interested, you can go and relax. Remember, don't take action." Kazuyo Sorayama
He could see through Wuzi's thoughts, but it was freezing cold, and he didn't want to take Zonai into the deep mountains and forests to suffer the cold. Besides, counting the days, that guy should be here soon...
Standing in front of Kenshin was an unusually tall ninja.
This kind of height and body shape is quite rare among ninjas. After all, ninjas mainly focus on sneak attacks and ambush. Their relatively thin body is not only high in agility, but also easy to hide. What surprised Kenshin even more is that this person is carrying a quite unique weapon.
: Long-handled giant axe. Although it is powerful, it only has two attack methods: horizontal slashing and vertical slashing. Moreover, both the speed of attack and the interval between attacks are huge flaws. With a little bit of sword practice, you can easily deal with this kind of opponent.
.
Kenshin shook his head silently. If this guy didn't come here sincerely to die, then there must be someone else ambushing him. Using such a heavy and long weapon in a small space, the opponent is still a swordsman like himself who is famous for his speed. What's not to die?
The ninja held the giant ax behind his back and rushed towards Kenshin like a humanoid tank. Facing the vicious horizontal slash, Kenshin jumped back quite easily. Just when he was about to counterattack,
However, he saw the figure of the giant ax ninja rotating with the axe, using inertia to turn half a circle. Although his back was facing the center of the sword, the tail of the giant ax was stabbing hard towards the center of the sword.
Sure enough, it was not that simple. Kenshin dodged the attack to the side again. However, at the moment when his footing was unsteady, a four-edged sharp claw suddenly appeared above his head - it was the ninja who killed Katagai.
The two of them cooperated very well, using the power of the giant ax to make Kenshin reluctant to easily parry with the sword, and using the characteristics of the long-handled weapon to compress the movement space of the sword, not to hurt the enemy, but to lure him into an ambush.
If faced with an ordinary swordsman, this fighting method might have been successful for a long time, but Kenshin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his right hand holding the sword did not move, he twisted his waist with his left hand, drew out his wakizashi, and shot upwards. The movement looked like the flying sword style.
One of the mysteries: Flying Dragon Flash, it just changes from shooting a scabbard to shooting a short sword.
A few drops of blood fell from his head. The ninja who was lying in ambush on the tree fell crookedly, with an incredible look in his eyes. He saw the short knife nailed straight into his throat, and a piece of it passed through the back of his neck.
After struggling for a few times, he died of exhaustion.
When the tall ninja saw this, he did not pursue him angrily as Kenshin imagined. Instead, he dropped his giant ax and ran to the side. How could Kenshin let him escape!
As soon as he took a step, Kenshin ran away in the opposite direction without hesitation.
A violent explosion behind him seemed to shake the entire mountain, and the tall ninja who started the ambush was no longer dead. If strong intuition hadn't told Kenshin, such an explosion would have seriously injured even if he didn't die!
"It's so dangerous..." Kenshin exhaled. Ninjas are indeed a group of dangerous guys, but since this level of ambush has been used, small means such as bamboo sticks, steel wires, and nooses should not be used again.
Yes.
"Next..." Kenshin looked at the temple on the top of the mountain and strode away without hesitation. There is one last enemy there. I hope you won't run away early and use the innocent Tomoe to formulate such a vicious plan.
You shouldn't live in this world!
Kenshin was not disappointed. A strong old man stood quietly in the snow. However, when he saw Kenshin coming slowly without any injuries, the old man was shocked!
"How could it be?! It's impossible! Battosai, you obviously don't have any fighting ability. Even if my three subordinates can't defeat you, you should be dying of all senses at this time. Why! Iizuka betrayed? No.
, could it be... Yukidaiba failed?" The old man didn't understand how this seamless plan could have such a major mistake. If it goes according to the plan, when Battousai knows that he has killed the fiancé of his beloved woman, his beloved woman is for
If you had approached him for revenge, you would have been so heartbroken by now that you would no longer be able to exert your strength at all.
"You bastards!" Kenshin growled in a low voice. Thinking of Yukiyoba's pain of almost committing suicide and remembering her leaving without saying goodbye, Kenshin has never wanted to kill someone as much as he does now. "Tomoe's fate is already so miserable.
, why are you still using her!"
"Women... are such strange creatures. The distance between love and hate is as thin as a piece of paper." The old man lamented his failure. Although he did not know the specific situation, judging from Kenshin's performance, Yukidaiba should be
I have completely forgiven Battousai and moved on to another relationship smoothly, so I must have taken the initiative to confess.
"Shut up! You are not allowed to say that." Kenshin shouted angrily.
"Humph, isn't it? Her fiancé wanted her to be happy even at the risk of his own life, but how did she do it? She stayed together with the man who killed her husband. Such a shameless woman is really rare in the world!
"The old man tried his best to ridicule, making Jian Xin furious.
However, before Kenshin could speak, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the tree and shouted at the old man: "Asshole! Although you are the leader, you are not allowed to talk about my sister like this!" It was Yukiyo Yun who had not seen him for many days.
He held the umbrella Yukiyoba handed him with a ferocious expression. In his heart, his sister Yukiyoba was sacred and could not be insulted by anyone. Yukiyomoto used to hate his sister's fiancé because once her sister got married, she would
She is a woman from another family; now he hates Kenshin because he made his sister miserable, and the purpose of coming here is to see Battousai being punished by heaven, not only to avenge his sister, but also to stop his sister's hatred of the situation in front of him.
People's favor...
"Fate?" Kenshin was stunned. Although he knew that there must be something wrong with Yukidaba's younger brother, he never thought that he was also a part of the plan to assassinate him. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood that there was nothing better than the one in front of him.
As a contact person, it is less likely to arouse suspicion.
However, Kenshin never resented Yukiyoba for this. How could he express his anger at the child in front of him who was obviously being taken advantage of? He shouted to Yuan: "Tomoe has left. She said she wanted to go back to her hometown."
Yukishiro En was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He ran to Kenshin and asked, "Where is she now?" Kenshin's face darkened, he shook his head and said, "She didn't tell me, she only left a brief letter and left.
Already."
"You're lucky this time!" Yukiyo Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said fiercely to Kenshin, and then ran down the mountain. He had told his sister where he was, and she would definitely wait for him to return to Edo with him!
"Okay, no one will bother us now." Kenshin leaned over and grasped the hilt of the sword, the blood flowing all over his body rapidly, which was the prelude to launching his ultimate move - he didn't want the person in front of him to live for even a moment longer!
Seeing this, the old man put up his arm guards and stared at the sword's heart with vigilance. He knew that Battousai in his peak state was not something he could handle. After several of his subordinates died, he should not be spared either. However, since he failed, he
You must have the consciousness to die.
He quickly turned around and moved around Kenshin. Seeing Kenshin's posture, he knew that the opponent was about to perform that kind of rapid sword drawing technique. It was a magical technique that even Okita Souji could not avoid. His physical strength
It is impossible to confront him head-on, there is only one chance!
Kenshin narrowed his eyes and locked onto the old man who was moving up, down, left and right. It seemed that the opponent was very experienced in fighting enemies. Not only did he not reveal many flaws when moving, he also grasped the distance very accurately. He always tested back and forth about ten steps away from him.
In this position, you may hurt the opponent even if you try your best, but it is obviously beyond the optimal attack distance. If you miss a hit, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the opponent.
But the other party obviously doesn't understand everything about him... Maybe using that move now won't be so painful, right? You don't have to use it with all your strength, right...
The moment the old man's feet floated in the air, Kenshin's figure disappeared, leaving behind a vague afterimage that obviously could not deceive anyone's vision. Of course, the old man was no exception. At least he could put up his hands before being shocked.
Block it in front of your chest! But that’s all.
The extremely positive blade tendons and super speed allowed this sword to sweep through and cut off two stainless steel cage hands, along with the old man's head with an expression of disbelief!
Kenshin's legs went weak, but he could barely stand upright with the sword in hand. This instant prison killing move caused much less damage than the last hasty attack. Of course, the power was also deliberately weakened by half by Kenshin, otherwise the opponent would not be able to make it in time. If he reacted in any way, his head would be chopped off. Even so, Kenshin still felt pain everywhere in his body, and he adjusted his breathing in place for a long time before gradually recovering.
Kenshin smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that he was too eager to deal with the opponent. If he used regular moves, the opponent could not delay for too long. In this state, how could he pick up the speed to catch up with Yukidaiba? Not to mention the waterway in Otsu. Land transportation extends in all directions, and you may not be able to catch up if you blindly pursue her. But fortunately, you already know the specific situation of Tomoe. If you can return to the organization, whether you get rid of Mr. Katsura or Iizuka, you can find her hometown...
At this time, the two people whom Kenshin thought of were standing opposite each other in an alley.
Iizuka looked at Katsura Kogoro who was wearing a bamboo hat and sneered: "Hey! I didn't expect that Mr. Katsura would do it himself. As far as I know, no one in the organization has ever seen Mr. Katsura do it. Can you say that even if I die, it will be an honor?"
Katsura Kogoro stared at Iizuka with a shameless face expressionlessly, but years of intrigues had already made him sufficiently immune to this kind of thing. He didn't say much, just moved aside to make way, and behind him, A swordsman who looked cold and stern stepped forward.
"Oh? You are Shishio, the legendary swordsman who is as good as Battosai, right? Although you joined the organization later than Battosai, your record is really good." Iizuka said casually, but he knew that he Unable to escape, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He drew out his sword and took a regular stance in the middle, but there was no momentum at all.
The swordsman Iizuka called Shishio didn't say a word, and his demeanor looked very similar to that of Kenshin who was performing his mission: the same silence, the same coldness, and the same frightening swordsmanship.
Without looking at the sword that Iizuka pointed at him, he slipped and passed by Iizuka. He stood two steps behind Iizuka, shook off the blood on the blade and put the sword back into its sheath. Iizuka He was slashed diagonally from his shoulders to his chest, but because the opponent drew his sword too quickly, no blood flowed out.
"I always collect corpses for others. I don't know who collected the corpse for me this time. It's a pity that I haven't had time to enjoy the money I just got..." This was Iizuka's last thought after he fell to the ground, and the baby in his arms rolled down and was stained with blood. It sparkles with the charming light of gold.
Katsura Kogoro glanced at Iizuka, who was dead on the ground, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work." He straightened his bamboo hat again. He wanted to rush to Otsu to see Kenshin immediately, but Iizuka said nothing. Asking for any useful information, he was very worried about Kenshin's safety.
At this time, a sturdy figure wearing a white cloak and disheveled hair was standing in front of Sorayama Kazuha's door. He was exuding a scorching aura like the sun. He took off his wine bottle and took a big sip. , and said to himself: "Is this here? The same barren mountains and ridges are not much better than where I am! What on earth did this bastard Kongshan ask me to come here for?"
"Hey, Kongshan, are you there? Why don't you come out to greet me? Such cold weather has called me out of the warm house. If you don't prepare hot wine, I will never agree!" The man shouted loudly. It's a bit out of touch.
There is only one person in the world who dares to speak to Kazuyo Sorayama in this tone - Hiko Seijuro, here he comes!
