The battle unfolded too quickly, everything happened in a snap.
The scenes that happened next are not an exaggeration to describe as "electricity and flint".
At the moment when Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade reached two inches in front of Hannya's nose, he showed incredible speed! He made a mistake in his steps and moved out of Souji's slashing range.
Although he escaped the fatal blow, he was not without injuries - the tip of Kaga Kiyomitsu's knife carved a slender wound on his cheek.
At first, the wound was not noticeable.
But in just a blink of an eye, it became darker and darker, redder and redder, and finally opened like a shell, secreting bright blood drops.
Prajna raised his hand and touched the wound on his face, then looked at his fingertips stained red with blood.
"That's great...!"
There was a smile on his cheeks again.
This time, he smiled even more happily, his face full of pure surprise.
"My sheath can't stop your knife... This is the first time I've met a strong woman like you!"
"No wonder you can beat Katsura Kogoro."
"I heard that the Shinsengumi has a talented female swordsman named 'Okita Souji'. Is that you?"
Although he used the sentence structure of a question, his tone was that of an affirmative sentence.
It seems that he has determined the identity of the general manager.
"Ha, I'm actually starting to feel lucky to be working as a bodyguard for Katsura Kogoro."
"Thanks to him, I'm going to have a great time tonight!"
After saying that, he placed the sheathed sword in his palm across his chest, holding the sheath with his left hand, and grabbing the handle with his right hand. With a clang, the blade of the sword suddenly popped out of the sheath! It emitted a sharp and dazzling light!
The creepy sword light wandered in the mid-air, and the mirror-clear blade revealed Prajna's face that was "crushed" due to refraction.
Seeing that this guy finally drew his sword, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi both held their breaths and tensed up every nerve in their bodies.
Accompanied by the slow sound of drawing the sword "四啷啷啷", Prajna cheered and said loudly:
"Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, I'm on board!"
The shouts fell and the blades sounded!
He didn't take a run-up, jumped up like a green onion on dry land, and leaped over in one breath!
In the blink of an eye, his sword, which was blessed with the weight of his body and the potential energy of his fall, had landed on the head of the chief executive.
The director did not choose to take a hard hit, but retreated to avoid the blow.
Prajna did not throw away the sheath or hang it back on his waist.
He grasped the sword with his right hand and held the sheath with his left hand - the "two-sword style" of using the sheath instead of the sword. It was the first time for Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi to see this, and they couldn't help but look surprised.
After his body landed on the ground, Prajna rushed towards Souji without stopping. He swung the sword in his right hand upwards, drawing a shape like a "crescent moon", and with the whine of the blade, he slashed towards Souji.
However, the moment he swung his sword, Souji had disappeared from where his blade had touched.
Although it was only fleeting, he did catch some afterimages of the short ponytail swaying rapidly from the corner of his eye.
A moment later, Souji, who was still in front of Hannya just now, now appeared beside Hannya.
While dodging, Souji lowered his body's center of gravity, as if his whole body was almost touching the floor, and switched to Kasumi Dan, pointing the tip of the knife like a horn at the vital part of Hannya's waist and abdomen, and stabbed with the knife!
Such ruthless moves were made as soon as they came up...it can be seen that the director-general has made up his mind to "quick victory".
Almost at the same time, Nagakura Shinpachi on the side also made a move.
Nagakura Shinpachi stepped forward, his body standing upright like a giant. He raised his hand, and with a hiss, pointed the tip of the knife diagonally at the sky. Then, like a mountain bearing down on the top, he slashed down in the air, slashing towards the back of Hannya's head!
A stabbing attack and a slashing attack came from different directions at the same time... Faced with such a dangerous situation, Prajna twisted his body like he was strolling in the courtyard.
He raised the sword in his right hand to deflect Souji's thrust; he raised the sheath in his left hand to deflect Nagakura Shinpachi's slash - these two actions were performed at the same time!
A crisis was easily resolved by him.
This result was within the expectations of Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi - they did not think that they could defeat the monster in front of them with just such ordinary tricks.
After the attack was neutralized, they both raised light dust from their heels and changed their positions to confuse Prajna and interfere with his judgment.
After witnessing Prajna's unfathomable strength with their own eyes, the two of them made the same judgment - they must maintain the offensive! Disrupt this guy's rhythm! Force him to mess up his position!
When he panics, it's his chance to win!
The General Secretary took the initiative to take over the important task of "frontal resistance".
Nagakura Shinpachi was wandering from the side, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Soon after, there was a "whoosh" sound, first the sound of metal and iron hitting each other, and then the vibration in the air - Prajna blocked Souji's attack again.
Souji always pays attention to Prajna's sight.
When Hannya turned his eyes to observe Nagakura Shinpachi's actions, Souji attacked without hesitation with his sword and struck Hannya in the face.
But who knows, Prajna seems to have a few extra eyes. Even if his eyes are not looking at Souji, he is still aware of his every move.
The sword in his right hand bounced up like a conditioned reflex, accurately intercepting Souji's slash, and there was a "force to control force", sparks flying.
Nagakura Shinpachi's support was timely.
While Hannya was using his sword to block Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi stepped forward to attack at every opportunity. The blade made a loud noise and slashed at Hannya's lower body from a tricky angle.
As soon as Nagakura Shinpachi raised his sword... Prajna once again showed off his superb reflexes and speed.
He was seen turning his body like a top, and the sheath of his left hand used centrifugal force to draw a sharp arc in mid-air, flicking away Nagakura Shinpachi's sword.
At the same time, the sword in his right hand from the other direction took advantage of the rotation and swiped diagonally at Souji's chest, forcing her back.
The pincer attack between the two was easily resolved by him again.
In the next breath, Prajna suddenly opened his arms and rotated his body again——
The blade slashed towards Souji at lightning speed.
The scabbard made a dull sound as it hit Nagakura Shinpachi's chest.
Although Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi escaped, before they could take a breath, the next round of attacks came again...
The two wanted to disrupt Prajna's rhythm and make him tired of defense and unable to attack.
But unknowingly, the opponent gradually grasped the rhythm of this battle...!
Prajna's sword swing is incredibly fast!
No matter how Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi attack or swing their swords, Hannya's sword or sheath can always move to the most suitable position one step faster, blocking all their attacks.
Of course, compared to his cutting speed, his ability to "do two things at once" is even more impressive!
Because he already understood that he couldn't deal with Souji with the sheath, he used the sword in his right hand to deal with Souji, and reserved the sheath in his left hand to deal with Nagakura Shinpachi.
He is obviously dual-purpose, and he is obviously fighting against the two masters of the Shinsengumi at the same time, but his two arms seem to have "autonomous thinking", able to fight independently, identify dangers, and automatically take defense or action depending on the situation.
attack.
Both Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi felt like they were not fighting one person, but more like they were fighting two or even more people!
When it comes to the ability to "single-purpose, dual-use", he is far superior to Chiba Doisaburo who developed the "Hokushin Two-Sword Style"!
In this way, even if he is one against two, he has not lost at all! On the contrary, he is gradually overpowering the two of them!
Phew!
Prajna's steps staggered, and he spun his body like a top, and the sword and sheath he was swinging quickly were forced apart again.
Because the movement was too violent, the top hat on his head shook slightly and then fell down.
He quickly freed up his left hand and straightened the top hat on his head.
"Oh, no, no, no... my hat almost fell off."
Taking advantage of the moment when he was holding his hat, he raised his eyes and shot his gaze along the brim of his hat, looking straight at the director-general directly in front of him.
“Is this the extent of ‘Sky Sword’ Okita Souji?”
He curled his lips as he spoke, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"I thought that the talented swordswoman known as the 'Number One General of the Shinsengumi' would be more capable."
"If you still have some hidden strength, or some amazing tricks or secrets that are extremely effective, just use them."
"Let me see more of the capabilities of the 'Heavenly Sword'!"
Speaking of this, Prajna seemed to have remembered something, and was stunned for a moment, then changed into a meaningful tone.
"Ah, yes, yes, I suddenly remembered."
"You seem to be Tachibana Aoden's wife, right?"
The director-general replied in a cold tone:
"So what?"
When Prajna heard this, he straightened the hat on his head and his expression became strange.
"Hey, if that's the case... then we can be considered half relatives."
This simple sentence immediately stunned the director.
"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't remember having a relative like you who wears fancy clothes."
Prajna smiled and shrugged.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Judging from the seniority of the disciples, you are my sister-in-law."
The director-general became more and more confused as he listened.
Nagakura Shinpachi couldn't help but frown, with a confused look on his face like "What is going on?"
"'Seniority'? When did we have someone like you in our natural Rishin-ryu?"
This time Prajna showed a puzzled look on his face.
"Hmm? Didn't Tachibana Aoden mention me to you?"
Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi responded to his question with blank expressions.
Prajna narrowed his eyes - he seemed to have realized something, and a cloud formed in his cheeks.
However, he still asked tentatively:
"My name is 'Yamada Asaemon Katsuki' - did Tachibana Aoden really never mention this name?"
Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi still looked confused.
However, when they heard the word "Yamada Senemon", their eyes changed.
There was a hint of astonishment in the Director-General's tone:
"'Yamada Asaemon'? Are you from 'Yamada Asaemon'?"
Faced with the questions raised by the General Secretary, Prajna did not answer.
"..."
He lowered his head in silence and lowered the top hat on his head.
Due to the brim of his hat, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi could not see his expression.
"Is that so...didn't he tell you?"
"Is he deliberately not saying anything, or... he doesn't know anything..."
At this moment, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi both lowered their faces and subconsciously clenched the swords in their palms - the aura of Hannya suddenly changed! It was like changing from a cloudless sunny day to a cloudy day covered with dark clouds!
"Forget it, if you don't know, just don't know."
As Hannya spoke, he raised his head again and glanced at the director, his eyes were as cold as ice, and there was no expression on his face.
"I'm going to say something ugly first. Although you are my sister-in-law, I will not show mercy."
"You seem to be unable to believe that I am a member of 'Yamada Asemon'."
"In that case, let me show you the swordsmanship of a real 'executioner'!"
The moment he finished speaking, Prajna disappeared from the place.
The Souji's pupils shrank, and he raised the Kaga Kiyomitsu in his hand like lightning——
clang!!
The steel knives hit each other hard in the air.
Hannya suddenly appeared in front of Souji, and saw that he had hung the sheath of his left hand back on his waist, holding the sword with both hands, aiming at Souji's Tianling Gai, and slashed with his forehand!
The sharpness and destructive power contained in this attack cannot be ignored!
Souji bit his teeth lightly and deflected the blow with brute force.
Prajna's offensive did not stop, and he immediately handed out the second sword.
At this time, Nagakura Shinpachi's support arrived. The blade of the sword came out of the diagonal stab, helping Souji block the blow and deflected Hannya's sword.
Although it was just a snap of his fingers, the general took advantage of this gap to regroup his posture, raised his sword and pounced on Prajna, fighting together.
Nagakura Shinpachi stepped up to follow.
The empty corridor was filled with the sound of gold and iron! It was filled with the hot atmosphere of the collision of blades!
After abandoning the "one sword, one scabbard" structure and switching to holding the sword with both hands, Prajna's swordsmanship instantly underwent earth-shaking changes!
In a word - his knife is faster! More accurate! More tricky!
The lack of a weapon in his hand did not make it difficult for him to deal with Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi's attack, but he became more and more able!
One round, two rounds, three rounds... Prajna's body flashed flexibly, and the blade he swung rapidly built a "silver barrier" around him.
All attacks close to the barrier will be blocked.
Anyone who comes close to this "enchantment" will be attacked fiercely like a pack of wolves!
His knife would always slash at him from an incredible angle and at a speed as fast as a meteor!
Moreover, the places he aimed at were all places where a single hit would result in loss of combat capability, or even direct death.
In this way, the psychological pressure on the General Secretary and others has increased dramatically!
They had to raise their body's senses to the highest level and be on guard against every attack from Prajna, not even daring to blink.
There were even times when they were so nervous and over-concentrated that they forgot to breathe.
Soon, within twenty rounds, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi were only able to parry and had no power to fight back.
At this moment, a whirlwind struck - a white blade suddenly flashed in the darkness!
Just beside Prajna, a new blade appeared.
This sword slashed at Prajna's waist with the power of "sweeping thousands of armies".
Although Prajna was startled by the sudden attack, he reacted quickly and turned backwards, skillfully dodging the knife.
"General Manager, Nagakura, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
In that darkness, a person walked out slowly.
After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Nagakura Shinpachi slightly raised the corner of his mouth:
"Saito, you've got it right...!"
Saito dragged the knife with one hand, and the tip of the knife made a "click, click, click" sound on the ground, and he slowly moved to Souji's side.
Hannya raised his eyebrows and looked at Saito, his face regaining its joy.
"Saito? Are you Saito Ichi?"
"Hahaha! What day is it today? I actually bumped into the three masters of the Shinsengumi at the same time!"
"So good!"
"Challenging Souji Okita, Shinpachi Nagakura and Ichi Saito at the same time... This is a great honor!"
"Everyone, let your horses come over!"
"I'm going to make you fall into pieces!"
