Chapter 247 Samurai's Swordsmanship and Ninja's Jiu-jitsu (1)
"yes……"
Konnosuke, who was still in shock, clutched the wound on his left shoulder and hurriedly escaped from the room.
Only Atachi was left to confront the strong man.
Even after changing from a crouching position to a standing position, this strong man's unbelievably tall body still brought an extremely huge impact to Atachi.
A-Machi had to raise his head almost as high as possible in order to see the face of this strong man clearly.
"You...are you the 'Monk' Isjun, right?"
As far as Atachi knows, there is only one person on this island who can have such an exaggerated figure.
"That's right." The strong man - or Yichun admitted very readily, "It seems that I am quite famous."
Issun glanced at the gunshot wound on his left shoulder that was still bleeding out.
"You're a very capable guy. I haven't suffered such a serious injury in a long time..."
Even though Issun said so, there was a look of indifference on his face.
After casually placing the naginata in his right hand on his shoulder, Ishun grinned at Omachi and said:
"I'm not interested in someone like you who has some abilities."
"I only like to bully defenseless old, weak women and children."
"Get out of my way. Don't stop me."
"As long as you get out of the way, I can let you live. I'm a very trustworthy person."
"Bullying the old, weak, women and children...?" A cold look gradually appeared on A-Ding's face, "You guy...you have such a bad character..."
"Otherwise, where do you think I got the name 'Monk'?" Ichun said in a lightly mocking tone, "Get out of here. If you don't, I'll kill you too."
"Don't think that since I can't use my left arm temporarily, you will be my opponent."
Atachi didn't respond to Ichijun's words.
He just silently tightened his grip on the iron cannon in his hand.
"...It seems that the negotiation has failed."
After saying this in a casual tone, Ishun slowly put down the large naginata that was originally carried on his shoulder.
At this moment - a strange sound suddenly sounded behind Ishun.
After frowning slightly and looking behind him, Issun saw the two villagers who had just died under his knife slowly standing up.
No, to be precise - the two villagers who died under his sword turned into cannibals and slowly stood up.
"Have you turned into such an unkillable monster..." Issun said in a displeased tone, "I've had enough of you being such an unkillable person."
"There's no point in killing someone who can't be killed."
After that, Isumi used one arm to swing the knife in his hand, and killed the two villagers who had just transformed into cannibals with one strike.
After the blade was stained with the ogre's blood, Issun didn't wipe it off, and just turned his attention back to Omachi in front of him.
After turning his gaze back to A-Machi, Issun suddenly discovered that - A-Machi had just taken advantage of the gap between him and the cannibal to stuff a new projectile into the barrel of the gun, using his skill to the extreme.
The method of loading projectiles.
"Don't even think about it!"
Naturally, Ichijun, who only likes to bully the weak, would not just watch Asachi reload the projectiles.
After letting out a loud shout, Ishun's huge body, which was as huge as a mountain of flesh, rushed towards Omachi...
…
…
When Atachi begins to confront Ishun——
The stairs connecting the 2nd and 3rd floors——
Looking at the young man in front of him who looked very similar to Soutaro who had just attacked him and jumped from the ceiling, Ogata suddenly remembered what Konnosuke once told him - that Soutaro also had a man named Qingtaro.
Brother.
"Isn't this guy Qingtaro you?"
Although the sentence is a question, Ogata's tone is an affirmative one.
"Do you recognize me?" Qingtaro said softly, "It would be great if you recognize me."
After saying that, Qingtaro pursed his lips toward the window behind him.
"Let me ask you - was Sotaro killed by you?"
Standing in this place, through the window behind Seitaro, we could just barely see Sotaro who was tied to a wooden pillar in the corner of the village.
At this time, Sotaro was completely lifeless.
After being tied to the wooden pillar, he was beaten non-stop by the villagers. Before the shogunate army broke through the wall, he was beaten to death by the villagers.
"That's right." Ogata said without hesitation, "I killed your brother and the men your brother brought with him."
Although Sotaro was beaten to death by the villagers, Ogata took most of the responsibility for why he died so miserably.
So after all this calculation, it can barely be considered that Ogata killed him.
Ogata was too lazy to slowly explain to Seitaro what happened to Sotaro, so he told Seitaro straightforwardly that he killed Sotaro.
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, he clearly felt that Seitaro in front of him began to exude a murderous intention.
"You bastard...!" Qingtaro gritted his teeth, "I'm going to kill you!"
"I've heard this kind of talk too many times." Ogata said in a casual tone, "If you can kill me, then go ahead and kill him."
Until recently, Seitaro had been leading the way for Ishun, who had a poor sense of direction.
After leading Ichijun to the gap in the wooden wall that the shogunate's army had knocked open, Ichijun showed him his terrifying combat power.
The 30 shogunate soldiers who formed the spear formation were completely unable to fight back against Ishun.
After slaughtering all 30 shogunate soldiers, Ichijun actually kept his promise to him - after bringing him here who had a bad sense of direction, he let Seitaro live.
After happily fulfilling his promise to Qingtaro, Ishun stepped over the corpses of the 30 soldiers and entered the wall.
Qingtaro, who had saved his life, wanted to just fly away.
However - before he could go far, he saw piles of corpses in a corner outside the wooden wall.
Qingtaro recognized these corpses.
These are the subordinates who came to Fenghe Village to borrow rice with Sotaro tonight.
Among the corpses, only Sotaro was missing.
Seitaro, who was worried about his brother's safety, turned back and rushed into the wall right after Kazun.
As soon as he entered the wall and entered the village, Qingtaro saw the body of his brother who was tied to a wooden pillar, covered in bruises and had no life left.
Furious and determined to take revenge, Seitaro sneaked into Kinnosuke's mansion to look for the person who killed his brother.
Because the shouting of killing on the first floor was too loud, Qingtaro did not dare to approach.
So he climbed up to the second floor of the mansion with bare hands and sneaked into the ceiling of the second floor.
Qingtaro knew that these mud-legged people inside the wall could not be his brother's opponents at all, and his brother-killing enemies could only be the prisoners who were thrown on this island.
So after sneaking into Kinnosuke's mansion and climbing to the ceiling of the second floor, Seitaro deliberately looked for people who didn't seem to be islanders of this island.
And as soon as he climbed to the ceiling of the second floor, he saw Ogata rushing down the stairs to the third floor with an anxious face...
