Chapter 682 In short, first pull the wind demon out of the ground like a radish [6500]
The branded woman's parts from her right armpit to her left shoulder were all chopped away in an instant by Mamiya.
The Branded Woman flying in mid-air... no, it should be said to be the Branded Woman's head flying in mid-air. Her eyes, which were rapidly losing their energy, were wide and staring tightly at the ceiling above.
Her head was separated from her body... With such an injury, the immortal power in her body could do nothing...
In the past, the branded woman once heard someone say that when people are about to die, they will uncontrollably recall some important memories from their lifetimes.
Now, the branded woman finally knows that this matter is still true.
At this moment, two large memories flashed through the branding woman's mind...
The first memory is something that happened not long ago.
After learning that Ogata had sent his sword to a swordsmith named Yuji for repair, in order to leave Ogata with no sword to use and weaken his combat power, Yoshihisa specially sent some men to seize the sword from Yuji.
No one knew which swords belonged to Ogata, so to save trouble and not to miss anything, they took away all the swords in Yuji's house.
At that time, the "Osaka Spring Formation and Operation to Dissuade" had not yet officially begun, and a large number of cadres headed by Yoshihisa and Lai Fu were hiding in a secret stronghold somewhere on the outskirts of Osaka.
All the knives taken from Yuji were sent to this secret base.
When Jijiu personally viewed these "trophies", the branded woman happened to be present.
With just one glance, among the pile of knives, she caught sight of a pair of katana and wakizashi, which were all blue and gold.
Blue and gold happen to be the favorite colors of brand ladies.
This was the first time she had such a strong love for two knives.
At that time, the branded woman said to Jijiu in an unquestionable tone: "Give me these two knives!"
Yoshihisa was not happy at first, but he couldn't stand the noise of the solder, so he could only reluctantly allow the solder to take the two knives as his own.
The branded woman had never named her knives before. After getting these two knives that she loved so much, she named her knives for the first time. She gave her two new knives their own names.
I think the names are very suitable: "One Good Luck" and "Two Good Luck".
After reviewing this memory, the branded woman only felt... unusually regretful.
She died just like that before she could use these two knives that she loved so much...
After this memory flashed before the Branded Woman's eyes, the second memory began to flash through the Branded Woman's mind.
If the first memory just now made the Branded Woman feel extremely regretful, then this second memory made the Branded Woman's regrets expand dozens of times.
The second memory... is the memory of her first meeting with Toyotomi Nobuhide...
…
"Sure enough, you are the wandering girl who is currently wanted, who tricked a man into sleeping with him, killed him unprepared, and then plundered his property. You are much more beautiful than I thought."
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm in your hands now! If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
"You are really ruthless. The wanted notice says that you have traveled to 4 vassal states and killed 21 people."
"What? Do you want to preach to me? Do you want to persuade me to turn around and be a good person? What I hate most is you guys who preach to others with a condescending attitude! What do you know?! You know
What kind of life did I live before?! If I could have a happy family and have enough to eat and drink, how could I kill people and buy goods!"
"Calm down, I don't want to preach to you. Not only do I not want to preach to you, I also want to praise you."
"……ha?"
"I think your unscrupulous approach to survival is great. The world is cruel, and I really like your character who is willing to do anything to survive. Hey, what's your name?
Don’t you want to join my army and turn this world upside down with me?”
"Ah? There's nothing wrong with you, right? Didn't you come to arrest me just for my head?"
"What do I need your head for? Your bounty is only 10 taels. This money is not enough for me to eat. I'm not here to catch you, I'm here to test whether you are interesting enough, and now - you are qualified
Got it!"
"...I can't quite understand what you are talking about anymore."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Ah, by the way, are you hungry? Do you want to go out for a meal together now? My name is Xinxiu. What about you?"
"...Alao."
"A'Lao, what a lovely name. Let's go, A'Lao! I just passed by a noodle shop with a very fragrant smell. Let's go have something to eat together!"
…
Now that her body and head are separated, the branded woman can no longer open her mouth to speak.
So, she whispered in her heart:
——Toyotomi-sama... I'm very sorry... I can no longer be loyal to you...
The last words this crazy woman said in her life were a heartfelt apology.
…
…
Mamiya stared closely at the body of the branded woman in front of him, which had fallen to the ground with a large piece missing, and was ready to use the knife at any time.
After seeing that this broken body did not grow a new head, and that the eyes of the burned woman's head that had fallen to the ground no longer had any look, Mamiya let out a sigh of relief silently in his heart.
——It seems... what the girl just said is true...
——As long as you attack their heads, the immortal power in their bodies will be powerless...
Mamiya held Vairocana on his waist and prepared to help Genichi, who was still fighting with Yoshihisa.
But after turning his attention to the battlefield between Genichi and Yoshihisa not far away, Mamiya's expression suddenly froze.
After a brief moment of daze, Mamiya whispered softly in a helpless tone:
"You don't need our help at all..."
When Mamiya turned his attention to Genichi, he happened to see Yoshihisa, who had a large gash on his upper body, with a pale face, quickly retreating, widening the distance between himself and Genichi.
…
…
Yoshihisa's short spear and Genichi's Yang Shen collided and pushed against each other, twisting the atmosphere and emitting a distorted, extremely uncomfortable cry.
After several missed stabs, Yoshihisa suddenly reached into his arms with his left hand, took out three shurikens, and threw them towards Yuan.
The throwing angles of these three shurikens are quite tricky, and they stab at Genichi's vital points from different directions.
This is a superb technique that can only be displayed by Yoshihisa, who has honed his shuriken throwing technique to a perfect level.
The power, speed, and flight angle of the shuriken were all impeccable—but the opponent Yoshihisa faced was Kinoshita Genichi.
Whether in the world of martial arts or in academia, in short, no matter where you are in any field, there is one absolutely correct truth in common - the real masters are all easy to do, and they seem to do very difficult things very easily.
.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
I saw Genichi using very random movements to continuously change the directions and angles of the flames in his left hand, and then all three shurikens thrown by Yoshihisa were deflected away.
Yuanyi is not only very light when defending, he is also very light when attacking.
He took a step and a half forward.
This one-and-a-half-step distance was just right, it was just within the distance that Tai Dao Yang Shen could cut Ji Jiu.
Yuan Yi slashed horizontally.
It was obviously just a very ordinary horizontal slash at first glance, but Jijiu felt a great threat from it. The sharpness contained in this knife made Jijiu never dare to be careless.
He retracted the short spear in his palm, deflecting Genichi's attack and retreating at the same time. However, Genichi's offensive did not stop, and he immediately handed out a second sword. This time, the one struck was Wakizashi Enrong, Yoshihisa.
With extremely reluctant movements, he deflected Yuan Yi's attack again.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang...
The light of the sword and the shadow of the gun flashed rapidly in front of the eyes of Yuan Yi and Yoshihisa.
Also flashing rapidly in front of Jijiu's eyes were scenes from 41 years ago that were deeply etched into his mind...
That was the first and last time Iga no Sato was so noisy.
The seniors who were usually so proud and proud are now all crying for their fathers and mothers.
Brave ones, continue towards the north of Iga no Sato.
The cowardly ones fled in all directions.
In fact, it cannot be said that those who ran away were cowardly.
From another perspective, they are rational and smart.
Because all those brave men died.
One by one, they rushed towards the swordsman holding two swords, and then died one after another.
Jijiu is also one of the brave ones.
He grabbed his best short gun and rushed forward bravely.
The brave charge did not yield results worthy of this courage.
Jijiu was so cowardly that he was defeated without even taking a single blow from the swordsman.
Jijiu is also very lucky. He survived by chance and has been living until now.
clang!
Genichi bent his right knee, stretched out his left foot, and suddenly sank down, waving the flame blast to deflect the short spear that was heading towards his head. The next moment, he bent his left knee instead, and kicked his right foot towards
On the ground, stand up straight, and at the same time, swing the Yangshen Slash towards Yoshihisa's head.
There was only a clear clang sound, and Jijiu managed to get Yang Shen away from him dangerously. Although Yang Shen's blade did not hit Jijiu's head, it still made a deep and shallow cut on his left forehead.
"Ahhhhh!"
Jijiu roared angrily, turned the short gun in his hand in an arc, and tried to hit Genichi on the head with the tail of the gun, but Genichi easily dodged it.
——Why...I just can't hit him...!
Jijiu roared in confusion in his heart.
In the past 41 years, Jijiu has never slacked off for a day.
He's always honing his craft.
Short spears, shurikens, footwork...he has honed these skills to perfection.
He now also has an extremely strong body. He got the power of immortality from Toyotomi Nobuhide. Under the transformation of the power of immortality, he now has a body that is difficult to be killed, and he also has far beyond ordinary powers.
Human physical fitness.
He has no shortage of skills or physical abilities.
But why...
Why can't I even touch a corner of Kinoshita Genichi's clothes...
boom!
At this time, Jijiu heard the sound of shooting.
He quickly used the corner of his eye to check the current situation of the branded woman - the mad woman's right knee had been shot and she was kneeling on one knee on the ground.
The young samurai wearing glasses standing in front of her had put the sword in his sheath and was ready to draw the sword...
--not good!
Knowing that if the branded woman died now, Yoshihisa's current situation would be even worse. He gritted his teeth, tried to get rid of Genichi in front of him, and went to rescue the branded woman.
Get rid of Yuanyi - just by saying this sentence, there is a trace of absurdity of "how can such a thing be done"...
Yuan Yi is not stupid. He naturally knows what Yoshijiu is anxious to do now, so he stops Yoshijiu firmly.
Woo...
Jijiu heard the air stir.
This was the sound of Genichi raising his Yangshen high.
Jijiu saw a white light flash above his head, and Genichi slashed the sword he held high, like a sword slashing down from the cliff. He subconsciously raised his arms, trying to attack with the barrel of his gun.
clang!
Yang Shen's blade collided with Yoshihisa's spear, and Yang Shen was raised high due to the reaction force.
At this time, I saw Yuan Yi holding Yang Shen's right arm, gently squeezing the handle of the knife with his palm and fingers, using special techniques to convert the reaction force into his own power, and then aimed at Ji Jiu and slashed with the knife.
.
clang!!
The two weapons struck each other again, making a sound far louder than the first strike.
The force transmitted back along the barrel of the gun made Jijiu's teeth clenched uncontrollably.
In this flash of lightning, Jijiu suddenly saw - there was a sudden change in the lower right corner of his field of vision.
Yanrong's blade appeared in front of Jijiu's lower right side at an unknown moment just now.
When Yuan Yi struck out the second sword with Yang Shen just now, he used two things at once. At the same moment when he struck down Yang Shen, he extended Yan Rong to the front of Ji Jiu's right abdomen.
Jijiu's pupils shrank violently at this moment, and he kicked his feet on the ground, trying to jump away from Genichi.
However, the speed of his backward jump was one step slower than Yuan Yi's sword speed.
laugh!
Yanrong in Yuanyi's left hand slashed diagonally upwards with the lower sword movement.
The sharp blade cut Jijiu's right abdomen all the way to his left shoulder.
Jijiu followed this reaction force and quickly retreated. While keeping distance from Yuan Yi, he thrust his short spear in front of him to guard against Yuan Yi's next pursuit.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Jijiu saw the branded woman not far away...who had already decided the winner against the enemy.
The branded woman, whose body had been split into two pieces, fell to the ground and made no sound anymore.
And the spectacled warrior with extraordinary skills, the bald old man with no hair, and the beautiful woman still squatting on the beam, all focused their attention on him now.
——Are we going to end it here?
Jijiu's face... was solemn, as gloomy as if his entire face had been splashed with ink.
He couldn't even deal with one source. Now that the Branded Woman was dead, the three people who just fought against the Branded Woman were now free.
Four people, including Yuan Yi, beat him one...
Jijiu can't think of any way to break this deadlock...
——In the end...you still couldn't rebuild Iga no Sato before you died...
After his hair and beard turned white, Yoshihisa fantasized about how he would feel when he was on the verge of death.
At this moment, Jijiu was really on the verge of death.
As a result, he discovered that his state of mind was much calmer than he imagined, much...
Although I felt unwilling, I didn't feel scared.
Not only did he not feel afraid, he also vaguely felt that deep in his heart, there was something... I don't know where the source is...
Fortunately.
The huge wound on Jijiu's upper body has been repaired at this time.
He took a deep breath and put the gun in front of him.
"Come on, Kinoshita Genichi."
Mamiya, Fuma and the others have now surrounded us.
Although Mamiya just said "you don't need our help at all", he couldn't really just stand aside and watch Genichi and Yoshihisa duel.
Facing Mamiya and Fuuma who were surrounding them, Yoshihisa ignored them. His eyes never left Genichi in front of him from the beginning to the end.
"To die in your hands...it's a worthy death!"
The roar ended, and Jijiu's hind feet hit the ground hard.
Just when Yoshihisa was about to leap in front of Genichi and launch a life-threatening attack on Genichi——
"It's gunpowder!! Everyone, get out of the way!!"
boom--!!
Outside the room, there was a deafening explosion.
There was an explosion, and turbulent air waves and shock waves poured into the room along the door.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
Blah blah blah...
The beams in the room and the tiles on the walls made sounds of breaking and collapsing.
The walls of the room were blown away, and the beams and tiles fell down.
…
…
Turn back time to just now——
"Damn it...I can't get through..."
A certain Iga male ninja holding a sama in hand looked at Makimura, Asai, and Shimada who were guarding outside the house not far away with an anxious face.
In order to prevent other people from disturbing Genichi and the others, Makimura and the others stood guard outside the room, not letting anyone pass.
Except for Shimada, whose skill is slightly lacking, Makimura and Asai are both good swordsmen, and no one with average skill is their opponent.
The three people with mutual horns turned every ninja who dared to rush forward into a corpse on the ground.
There are only a dozen or so people left who are still alive and who still have the courage to rush forward and fight the incoming Genichi and others.
The rest were either dead or had lost their fighting spirit and fled for their lives.
Although the remaining ten or so people could not see the scene in the room where Jijiu, Lao Furen and others were, they could roughly guess the current situation in the room from the sounds coming from inside - it must be quite unoptimistic.
Since just now, they have never heard the branding woman's crazy roar.
No longer hearing the voice of the branded woman, this undoubtedly made the remaining ten or so ninjas anxious, making them even more eager to break through the obstruction of Makimura and others and enter the room to support Yoshihisa and the others.
——Damn it! Fight with them!
The male ninja holding the scythe clenched his teeth, preparing to rush forward and launch a desperate attack on Makimura and the others.
"Are you the only ones left?"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded from behind the male ninja.
"Lord Kiyosumi?" The Suokama male ninja looked at the owner of the hoarse male voice with surprise - the abbot of the Ryūshui Temple who always smells fragrant: Kiyosumi.
At this time, Qingcheng was still dressed as a monk, but he was holding a wooden barrel with unknown contents in his hand, and a burning torch.
"Lord Kiyosumi!" asked the Suokama male ninja, "Why are you here? Get out of here quickly!"
Qingcheng ignored Suokama's words. After looking at the corpses on the ground in front of him, he said:
"Ah... it's so miserable. With the little combat power we have left now, we probably won't be able to break through the defense line of those three people."
"And judging from the sounds in the room, the branded woman is probably dying, and Jijiu is probably in trouble now."
"Haha, it seems that all the effort I spent just now to find the dead soldiers was not in vain!"
Having said this, Qingcheng turned his attention to the sickle man.
"I can't leave here."
Qingcheng grinned.
"I am also a member of the Toyotomi Army. How could I escape from the battlefield? Although I am just a helpless monk, there are things I can do."
After that, Qingcheng opened the big wooden barrel in his arms.
The lid of the barrel was opened, and the strong smell of gunpowder immediately penetrated into the Sui Si Man's nostrils, causing the Sui Si Man's pupils to shrink suddenly.
"Everyone get out of here!!"
Qingcheng yelled, holding the powder keg and torch in his arms, with a crazy smile on his face, and charged towards Makimura and others who were guarding outside the room.
Just now, when he learned that Ryusuei Temple had been attacked and that there were heavy casualties, Kiyosumi knew that these attackers were not ordinary people, and Ryusuei Temple might be about to fall.
Looking for reinforcements from outside? The nearest reinforcements from here are the ninth division troops, which are more than ten streets away from Longshui Temple. By the time they are found, the day lilies are already cold.
But we still need to invite reinforcements for the time being, maybe they will catch up just in time.
Therefore, Kiyosumi sent out reinforcements and requested troops capable of returning reinforcements to immediately return to support the formation.
While asking for help from outside, Qingcheng also actively rescued himself.
He is just a helpless monk. There is only one way that Qingcheng can think of that can effectively attack the enemy.
Qingcheng rushed to the ammunition depot and got a barrel of gunpowder from the ammunition depot.
If you can't use the gunpowder, that would be best.
But if it can be used, Qingcheng... is willing to die for the Toyotomi Army at any time.
And now, when his subordinates were still unable to break through Makimura's defense line, Kiyosumi felt that it was time for him to show off his skills.
From afar, Makimura could smell the smell of gunpowder coming from the barrel in Qingcheng's arms.
His expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Asai and Shimada beside him back quickly, and shouted: "It's gunpowder!! Everyone, get out of the way!!"
The surrounding Iga ninjas also quickly retreated back at the same time.
——Toyotomi-sama...I will return your kindness to you now...
Kiyosumi has always remembered Toyotomi Nobuhide's kindness to him.
Their kindness helped him discover his "real self" and helped him realize that what he really liked was blood and violence...
Qingcheng showed a smile that almost reached her ears, and then threw the torch in her hand into the powder keg in her arms...
boom!!
The air waves and shock waves caused by the explosion shook the surrounding atmosphere.
Qingcheng's body was immediately torn into pieces.
The impact caused by the explosion immediately made the room where Genichi, Yoshihisa and others were in a mess.
Yuan Yi and others were blown away by the shock wave, and gray dust covered the atmosphere...
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
Genichi, whose mouth and nose were itchy from the dust stirred up by the explosion, coughed hard and stood up from the ground.
Yuan Yi first quickly checked his body - all the parts on his body were intact, and there was nothing strange about his body except that his head was dizzy and swollen.
After confirming the condition of his body, Genichi immediately moved his gaze, looking for Yoshihisa's figure and at the same time looking for Mamiya, Atachi and others.
The first person Yuan Yi found was Mamiya.
Mamiya is now disgraced, but he is not injured. He is picking up the glasses that fell aside and putting them back on the bridge of his nose.
The ones who were found after Mamiya were Azuki and the girl who was tied up.
The two of them had been hiding in the far corner of the room, so apart from a lot of dust being splashed on their bodies, there was nothing serious.
After finding A Zhu and the tied girl, Feng Mo's words attracted Yuan Yi's attention——
"Komachi, have you ever pulled a radish?"
"Do you want me to pull you out like a carrot?"
Source Yi Xunxun said.
The scene that caught Yuan's eyes... left him wondering how to evaluate it.
The wind demon was suppressed by the collapsed beams.
But judging from Feng Mo's current calm expression, he probably wasn't injured at all.
The collapsed beams were only buried up to his neck.
In other words, Feng Mo now only has one shining head, which is constantly reflecting light and is exposed... just like a light bulb growing on the ground.
Atachi, who only had some scratches on his left shoulder, knelt down next to Fuuma's head, looking like he didn't know what to do.

Asking for a monthly ticket! QAQ
The battle on Genichi's side is almost over. In the next chapter, the perspective should be able to switch back to Ogata (probably...), and then it will be Ogata's final battle in the "Battle of Osaka".
