Hanbei, who was still in the Doge seat position, pressed his forehead firmly against the ground, unable to bear to look at the scene inside the dojo.
Some of the disciples led by Makino buried their heads so low that their chins could hit their chests.
Some wept secretly.
Some of them had red eyes, staring intently at Mikami and the two in the center of the dojo, as if they were planning to engrav the scene that was about to appear in front of them deeply into their minds.
What I also couldn't bear to see were...some of Matsudaira Gennai's guards.
The guards in Matsudaira Gennai, especially the younger guards, turned their heads away one after another, not daring to... and at the same time couldn't bear to look at this scene of brothers from the same sect being forced to kill each other.
Some of the older guards, such as Qi Yuan, were expressionless and indifferent.
Among all the people present, only Gennai Matsudaira's expression was different from everyone else's.
Matsudaira Genuchi was excitedly watching Mikami and Sawamura who were about to start fighting each other.
A flush of joy appeared on his originally pale face.
"Senior Mikami... kill me quickly..."
"……good."
Mikami responded to Sawamura in a deep voice, and then slowly raised the sword in his hand.
Mikami's sword reflected a dazzling light under the candlelight.
The air in the dojo seemed to freeze at this moment.
Except for a few people led by Matsudaira Gennai, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
Then--
"Go to hell! You stupid king!"
Mikami let out a loud shout.
While making this loud shout, he turned his body sharply to the left using his left foot as his axis.
So that his face can just rush towards Matsudaira Gennai.
The next moment he saw the location of Gennai Matsudaira, Mikami threw the knife in his hand.
His target, of course, was Gennai Matsudaira, who was still looking forward to the scene of cannibalism with excitement.
Using the feet as the axis, the centrifugal force generated by turning rapidly, coupled with Mikami's original waist strength and arm strength, make the sword thrown by Mikami possess powerful power.
Mikami's sword shot with strong wind and powerful power towards the chest of Matsudairain.
Judging from the flying speed of this knife, if it can hit Matsudaira Gennai's chest, it will definitely penetrate Matsudaira Gennai's chest with one blow.
Mikami does more than just throw a knife.
The moment he threw his sword at Matsudaira Gennai, Mikami immediately snatched away Sawamura's sword in front of him.
Because the distance between the two was extremely close, Mikami could reach out and take away Sawamura's sword.
The reason why Mikami was slowly approaching Sawamura just now was, on the one hand, to paralyze Matsudaira Gennai and others, and on the other hand, it was so that he could easily take away Sawamura's sword.
After taking away Sawamura's sword, Mikami immediately turned into an arrow and ran towards Matsudaira Gennai.
While throwing the knife at Matsudaira Gennai, regardless of whether the thrown knife hits Matsudaira Gennai, he must rush forward to hit Matsudaira Gennai - this is Mikami's plan.
On the surface - Mikami doesn't need to step forward to hit the target.
Because the knife he just threw flew quite steadily.
The knife shot steadily toward Matsudaira Gennai's chest.
While flying very steadily, it also flies very fast.
The knife almost pierced Gennai Matsudaira's chest. Gennai Matsudaira still didn't react and was still sitting there stupidly.
However... Matsudaira Gennai didn't react, which doesn't mean that everyone didn't react.
Just when the knife thrown by Mikami was only about three fingers away from Matsudaira Gennai's chest...
clang!
The ear-piercing sound of clashing weapons rang out.
Nanabahara, who was kneeling beside Gennai Matsudaira, stood up and bent his knees almost the moment Mikami threw the sword, and then quickly drew the sword out of its sheath.
The unsheathed blade accurately deflected the knife thrown by Mikami before it hit Matsudaira Gennai's chest.
After flicking the sword away, Nanabahara stepped sideways and stood between Mikami and Matsudaira Gennai, who were running towards him with the sword in hand.
The current situation is very clear.
If Mikami wants to kill Matsudaira Gennai, he must first kill Nanabahara who is blocking his way.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
Mikami let out a shocking shout and pointed the tip of the knife at Nanabahara in front of him. He planned to stab Nanabahara to the ground in one breath.
Facing the menacing Mikami, Nanagahara remained calm.
He just moved his feet apart, holding the middle position with his right hand, while his left hand hung naturally by his side, looking at the sharp knife tip that was getting closer and closer to him and Matsudaira Gennai with an indifferent gaze without any emotion.
laugh.
Qi Yuan did not use any gorgeous or special sword skills.
He just turned his body to avoid Mikami's thrust, and at the same time, he swung the sword in his hand and cut off Mikami's sword-holding right hand.
Mikami's right arm and his sword were still on the ground, and Mikami didn't even have time to scream before Nanabahara waved the sword in his hand again.
This time, the cold light swept towards Mikami's right abdomen.
A large amount of blood appeared as the cold light disappeared.
Mikami fell to the ground with hatred just a few steps away from Matsudaira Gennai...
Everything that happened just now happened too fast and too suddenly.
Suddenly, Mikami and others fell to the ground, and many people did not realize what happened.
Both the masters and apprentices of Sakakibara Sword Hall and the guards of Matsudaira Gennai were stunned at this time.
The first person to recover from the shock was Matsudaira Gennai, who was almost killed by Mikami.
Looking at Mikami who had fallen to the ground and was bleeding all over the ground, Matsudaira Gennai was stunned for a moment.
Then he quickly returned to his usual expression - expressionless.
Matsudaira Gennai lowered his head and looked at the little blood stains on his feather fabric.
These blood stains are all Mikami's blood that was splashed after Mikami was slashed by Nanabahara just now.
"It's really disappointing..."
Matsudaira Gennai touched the "red dots" on the feather fabric.
"It ruined my game and stained my clothes."
"What a bunch of hateful slaves..."
"Hey, Qin Yuan."
"Yes!" Qi Yuan responded loudly.
"Kill this old man and all his disciples."
"...Yes!" Qiyuan nodded seriously after a pause.
Then, Nanabahara turned his head and looked at the hundreds of Matsudaira Gennai guards who were kneeling on the ground.
"Have you heard my lord's order? Kill all the masters and disciples of Sakakibara Sword Hall!"
"oh!!"
Some of the guards stood up quickly, as if out of conditioned reflex, then drew their swords and started to kill the disciples of the Sakakibara Sword Hall.
After being stunned for a short time, some other guards saw that their colleagues were charging forward with swords, so they unknowingly drew their swords and followed closely beside their colleagues.
"Wait! We didn't do anything!" A younger junior brother looked at the "evil ghost" coming towards him with a panicked look on his face, thinking hard about various words to plead for mercy.
"Please let me go... ugh! Pfft..."
However... before he could even utter the words of plea he had come up with, the "evil ghost" who was attacking him mercilessly waved the blade in his hand and cut his neck open...
And similar scenes continue to happen everywhere in the dojo...
