I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Before reading this chapter, I recommend that you read Chapter 352 "The Strangeness of Yuan Yi" and Chapter 353 "Don't Be So Arrogant Within My Attack Range". In these two chapters, I buried a foreshadowing about the gamut that was not revealed until this chapter, but it seems that no readers have noticed before.

*****

*****

Among all the people, only A-cho is the "former ninja" in Shiranui, so only A-cho knows what Shintaro looks like.

On the way of chasing Shintaro, Acho frequently climbed tall trees, looking for Shintaro's figure.

Although the melee combat ability is mediocre, in addition to the good level of jujitsu, the three skills of stealth, breath holding, and assassination are all average, but he is also a female ninja. It's just trivial to her.

A big tree several meters high, A-Ming can climb up like flying.

Although this example may not be a good one, A-Ming really climbs trees at the speed of a monkey.

With no knowledge of Shintaro's whereabouts, he can only rely on A-cho's eyes to track him.

A-cho's eyesight is excellent, even a bee hundreds of meters away, A-cho can see clearly, and his dynamic vision is excellent, which is one of the reasons why A-cho's marksmanship is so good.

After climbing up a tall tree again, crouching on a long and thick trunk and quickly looking around, A-Machi finally saw the face he had been looking for.

"I saw Shintaro!"

As Machi jumped down from the tree, he said to Rin and the others under the tree.

"Shintaro went in that direction!" A-cho pointed in a certain direction, "There are still 3 people around him!"

"Your eyesight is amazing..." After complimenting A-Ming for helping him a lot, Lin waved her hand, signaling the people around to follow and chase Shintaro.

Every time he walked a certain distance, A-Machi would climb up a nearby big tree or taller house to confirm and correct their pursuit direction.

When Ah Ding climbed to a tree again, she suddenly saw more than twenty black shadows approaching them from the north at a high speed.

Looking at the more than twenty black shadows, Ah Ding's pupils shrank slightly, and then hurriedly shouted to Lin and the others below:

"There are enemies approaching!"

As soon as Ah-Ming's warning sound fell,

These more than twenty black shadows jumped out of the field of vision of Lin and the others.

Looking at the twenty or so black-clothed men who suddenly appeared, different people showed different expressions.

Almost everyone, headed by Lin and Jiangong, looked serious, staring at the twenty or so men in black who suddenly appeared.

Only Genichi was surprised when he saw the twenty or so men in black... No, to be precise, he was surprised after seeing the black outfits on the twenty or so men in black.

This group of men in black were all murderous, and they could tell at a glance that the visitors were not good.

And in fact—it really is.

As soon as the group of men in black appeared, an old man at the head waved his hand, and a kunai shot out from his palm and flew straight towards Yuan Yi.

Facing the shuriken that was so fast that only afterimages could be seen, Genichi didn't move his brows, and just turned his body slightly to avoid the shuriken.

After the shuriken flew past him, Genichi murmured in a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"This method..."

Seeing that the men in black attacked them, and after confirming that they were enemies, Lin didn't hesitate anymore, and waved to the gunners behind her.

Although looking at the attires of these men in black, it seems that they are not ninjas from Shiranui, but Lin has no interest in knowing the identities of these enemies.

Now she just wants to use the big tube to blow these people away, and then go after Shintaro.

However, as soon as Lin raised her hand, Genichi shouted loudly at Lin:

"Xiao Lin, you take the rest of the people to chase that Shintaro."

"I'll stay and deal with these people."

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Lin cast a puzzled look at Yuan Yi.

"I have deep grievances with these people." Yuan Yi said softly, "The grievances between me and them must be settled with them by myself, and no one can interfere."

"Hey!" Yuan Yi shouted at the men in black, "Your target should be only me?"

The leading old man said in a deep voice:

"Our goal is only Kinoshita Genichi. We don't care whether the rest of the people are dead or alive, where they are going, or what they are going to do."

"...I see." After looking at Yuan Yi with a serious face for a while, Lin nodded vigorously, "Let's go."

Lin led the crowd to bypass the gang of men in black.

And the gang of men in black really didn't attack Lin, Ah Ding and the others, and just let them leave.

After Lin and the others left, only Yuan Yi was left standing opposite the twenty men in black.

"Aren't you from Iga?"

Yuan Yi's tone was full of affirmation, even though the sentence pattern he used was that of interrogative sentences.

"It's been a long time since I saw this attire, I haven't seen it for 40 years..."

"And the unique way of throwing the shuriken is also not seen in 40 years."

Just after seeing the black attires on the men in black, the long-sealed memories began to emerge in Yuan Yi's mind.

After seeing the way the old man threw the shuriken just now, Genichi finally confirmed the identities of these people—the ninjas of Iga.

The old man who threw the shuriken at Gen just now was Hannosuke.

"Since you still remember our Iga's attire and shuriken throwing technique..." Hannosuke said in a calm tone.

"Of course I remember." Yuan Yi smiled, "After all——the battle with you Iga no Sato 40 years ago was the first time I used the Wuwu dual sword style to fight against people."

"It was a very meaningful battle for me. It's hard not to remember you Iga ninjas deeply."

"I didn't expect that I would see this costume again in my lifetime, and see Iga no Sato's ninjutsu again."

"... Genichi." On Hannosuke's face, black shadows gradually increased, "After waiting for a full 40 years, I finally have the opportunity to take revenge on you."

"The revenge for the destruction of the Iga village... I will demand it from you now!"

Hannosuke slowly pulled out the ninja sword from his waist.

After Hannosuke drew his sword, the rest of his subordinates behind him drew their weapons one after another.

Yuan Yi, whose expression remained unchanged, put his hands on the hilt of Yangshen and Yan Rong's sabers on his left waist.

Cang lang lang lang lang...

As the blade was pulled out inch by inch, the light of the sword reflected by Yangshen and Yan Rong under the sunlight gradually covered Yuan Yi's face.

"bring it on."

The left and right hands holding Yan Rong and Yang Shen hang down naturally.

"I didn't expect to be...again, against Iga...!"

...

...

Shintaro is looking for Keitaro with 3 cronies.

"Lord Shintaro!" One of the three confidantes yelled at Shintaro, "Those people are still chasing us!"

Shintaro glanced behind him, frowning.

As early as just now, Shintaro noticed that a group of people were following them from a distance.

Shintaro originally wanted to ignore them and just throw them off.

But I didn't expect this group of people to be chasing so closely that they couldn't get rid of them even if they wanted to.

Shintaro is now a little worried that the group of people who are following him far behind may be the group of people with big tubes...

If a bunch of "ghou" were following them, Shintaro didn't think it mattered.

But if those people with big tubes were following them, it was a threat that could not be ignored.

"Master Shintaro," another confidant asked, "What are we going to do? Do we continue to ignore them?"

"...Follow me." After being silent for a while, Shintaro ran towards a dojo not far away that was usually used to train newcomers.

While running towards the dojo, Shintaro took out a black pill from his bosom.

...

...

"They ran into that house!" A-Machi, who had just located Shintaro and the others again, jumped down from the tree, "That house seems to be a dojo specially used for training ninjutsu."

"Dojo?" Lin frowned.

Because A-Machi is not familiar with the "Shin Shiranui-ri" where the base was moved to Edo, A-Machi can only roughly deduce that this house may be a dojo based on the size and shape of the house.

After Lin asked the gunners to check the large cylinders in their hands for the last time, under the guidance of A-Machi, they rushed straight towards the dojo.

When they first entered the dojo, their first impression was that it was quiet and they couldn't hear anything—but this was normal, after all, it was impossible for anyone to train in this dojo at this time.

After opening the door of the dojo, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a corridor that was neither too long nor too short.

There are no doors or windows on both sides of the corridor, only a wooden sliding door at the end of the other side.

After quickly rushing to the sliding door and pulling it open, Lin and the others saw a relatively spacious dojo.

The layout and appearance of this dojo is similar to that of an ordinary swordsmanship dojo, but there are many utensils around the venue that neither Ranglin nor Jiangong can name.

After entering the dojo, they saw three ninjas.

After Lin and others opened the wooden door and appeared, the three ninjas raised their weapons and killed Lin and the others without any explanation.

After taking a quick glance at the faces of these three people, A-Machi immediately said to Lin:

"None of them are Shintaro!"

After learning that none of the three were Shintaro, Lin frowned slightly, and waved to the gunner behind her, signaling them not to open the door.

In fact, they don't have much shells left, so they must save as much as possible, so that they can be used to deal with Shintaro later.

"Kuro, follow me."

"yes!"

After putting the gunners on standby, Lin led Gamiya to kill the three ninjas.

Although it was 2 vs. 3, both Lin and Mamiya were far stronger than these three, so the three ninjas were quickly resolved by Lin and Mamiya.

However—just when Lin and Mamiya had finished the three ninjas, a sudden change occurred.

boom!

A sudden sound exploded.

A piece of the ceiling above the rear of the gunners was suddenly kicked off.

Then a figure fell together with the kicked ceiling.

While the figure was falling, five smaller black shadows flew out from the figure.

These 5 small shadows are 5 shurikens.

These 5 shurikens flew towards the large cylinder carried by the 5 gunners.

Then precisely hit the triggers of these 5 large barrels.

As soon as the figure landed, it immediately rushed towards Lin and their gunners.

Although the speed of this figure was very fast, and his movements created afterimages, A-Machi, with his amazing eyesight, quickly recognized who this figure was.

"It's Shintaro!" Ah-cho reminded everyone around him loudly.

...

...

Just now, Shintaro has been thinking about how to deal with these people who are chasing after them.

If the group of people who have been following them are the group of people who use the big cylinder, it will be very troublesome, so Shintaro decided to kill all the people who followed them directly.

Then he led his three cronies into the dojo.

The three cronies remained in the dojo, while he lurked on the ceiling, responsible for sneaking up on the group of people who followed them.

If the group of people who followed them had a big tube, his three cronies would be responsible for the feint to attract the attention of the enemy, and he would take the opportunity to destroy the very threatening big tube-this is Shintaro's plan.

These three of his confidants were all loyal to Toyotomi, like dead soldiers, so knowing that they might die who were responsible for the feint attack, the three still nodded and agreed to Shintaro's plan without hesitation.

Judging from the current situation, Shintaro's plan has been very successful.

Because as soon as they entered the dojo, they saw three enemies rushing towards them, Lin and the others were subconsciously drawn away.

And Shintaro also appeared from the ceiling behind the gunners in time, and began to destroy these large cylinders.

Under normal circumstances, Shintaro naturally does not have the ability to throw 5 shurikens in such a short period of time and accurately hit such a small target as the trigger.

However - now is not the "usual situation".

Before entering this dojo, Shintaro had already taken "Yashamaru".

...

...

Shintaro's goal was to destroy Otsutsu, so he didn't kill the gunners.

Because it takes too much time to kill the gunner, it is faster to destroy the big tube directly.

With the blessing of "Yasha Realm", the speed and accuracy of Shintaro's shuriken throwing also soared.

In the short period of time from jumping down from the ceiling to standing on the ground, he successfully threw 5 shurikens and destroyed 5 large cylinders.

After landing, Shintaro rushed towards the remaining 4 large cylinders.

clang! clang!

After rushing to the front and back of the nearest gunners who were still carrying the large barrels intact, Shintaro swung the knife in his hand twice and chopped off the trigger.

Immediately afterwards, another shuriken was thrown, breaking the trigger of a large barrel farther away from him.

Just before Shintaro charged towards the last intact big tube, Mucun and Asai finally arrived.

It wasn't until Shintaro broke all eight of their big tubes that Mucun and Asai finally stopped in front of Shintaro-it wasn't that the two of them reacted slowly.

But Shintaro's speed is too fast.

Shintaro didn't fight Makimura and Asai.

Instead, he showed his superb speed again, directly bypassing Mucun and Qianjing.

Makimura and Asai, who couldn't stop Shintaro, were dumbfounded.

It's just that - just as Shintaro bypassed Mucun and Asai, two more stopped in front of him.

It was Lin and Mamiya who ran to deal with the three ninjas who were in charge of the feint just now.

"Prepare for shelling!" Lin slashed at Shintaro with a knife, and yelled at the gunners who had the only remaining large barrel in good condition.

While Lin slashed at Shintaro with a knife, Mamiya also attacked Shintaro almost at the same time.

After hearing Lin's order, the two gunners holding the large barrels that had not been damaged immediately started loading.

clang!

clang!

Shintaro swung his sword twice in a row, and bounced off the swords of Lin and Mamiya.

The huge force transmitted along the blade made both Lin and Jiangong look full of consternation.

Shintaro also took advantage of this gap and threw another shuriken.

This time, the shuriken didn't hit the trigger of Otsuru.

Instead, it flew straight into the muzzle of the large barrel.

Then there was a loud "clang" sound.

You don't need to think about it - this big tube must have been broken by Shintaro.

Lin took a few steps back and looked at Shintaro now.

The veins that were exposed outside the clothes were bulging, and the skin was dark red. Vaguely, some thin gas similar to steam can be seen ejecting from its body - this is the appearance of Shintaro at this time.

"Is this...'Yasha Realm'...!" Lin gritted her teeth.

This is Lin... No, it should be said—this is the first time everyone present saw the "Yasha Realm".

They had only heard what Ogata said before, and they had never seen what the "Yasha state" looked like.

But now, they finally felt the power of the "Yasha Realm" personally.

Everyone present looked at Shintaro who had entered the "Yasha Realm" with serious expressions.

In less than 10 seconds before and after, all their big tubes were broken.

"...all of you get out of here." After pondering for a moment, Lin said to the gunners in a deep voice, "Go!"

Now that the big tubes have been destroyed, there is no point for these gunners to stay here any longer.

Let them stay here, maybe they will accidentally hurt them, so Lin told them to leave quickly.

The gunners have long been stunned by Shintaro's magical shuriken throwing technique.

After receiving Lin's order, they immediately hurriedly left the dojo.

Shintaro ignored the gunners and let them go.

Because he could tell at a glance—they were all a bunch of worthless trash.

These people who came to stop him just now are the real masters worth noting.

"Although I don't know who you are, you are really amazing..." Shintaro said softly, "You actually used a large cylinder to destroy Shiranui with a history of more than 200 years."

Although Shintaro's words just now sounded like he was praising, his tone was full of resentment.

Witnessing this group of people who ruined Shiranui with his own eyes, boundless resentment began to emerge in Shintaro's heart.

He has been lurking in Shiranui for 6 years, and finally managed to completely control Shiranui, but this group of people suddenly came out and destroyed Shiranui.

No words can describe Shintaro's current mood.

He decided to put aside the escape for now.

Kill all these hateful people first!

Shintaro rushed towards the nearest pastoral village.

Shintaro's speed was so fast that only afterimages were left behind, causing Mucun's pupils to shrink suddenly in astonishment.

After Shintaro rushed into his field of vision, Mucun immediately subconsciously swung the big sword in his hand, and aimed at Shintaro with a powerful and heavy slash.

Mucun is not that kind of "skillful" swordsman, he has always been a "powerful" swordsman.

Relying on a strong body, a unique size advantage, and wielding a large sword that is much longer than ordinary swords to suppress the enemy-this is Mucun's swordsmanship style.

If he hadn't entered the "Yasha Realm", Shintaro might be quite afraid of Mucun's slash.

But at the moment when he entered the "Yasha Realm", Shintaro was not afraid to pick up Mucun's sword.

But in order not to waste energy, and in order not to damage his ninja sword, Shintaro did not choose to take it hard, but turned his body to one side, dodging Mucun's downward chop, and then took advantage of the opportunity to get close to Mucun's body, clenched his left hand into a fist, Blast towards Mucun's belly.

Mucun let go of his left hand holding the knife, put his left hand in front of Shintaro's fist, and blocked Shintaro's fist with the forearm of his left hand.

But after blocking Shintaro's fist, Mucun immediately felt a piercing pain from his left arm.

Mucun couldn't help but take a few steps back from the huge force coming from his left arm.

After stabilizing his figure, Mucun looked at his left arm—it was already red and swollen, probably a fracture.

Just when Shintaro was about to pursue Mucun and kill Mucun in one go, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind him:

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Shintaro knew it without looking - he must be a showman.

After all, the qi chorus is really recognizable.

Shintaro can't even pick up Mucun's knives, let alone pick up the knives of current users.

Without even looking behind him, Shintaro dodged Asai's knife according to the sound.

Asai and Lin killed Shintaro at the same time and from different directions.

Shintaro, who dodged Asai's sword, just dodged in front of Rin.

Lin clenched Yan Mo in her left hand, and when she was about to slash at Shintaro with a knife, she saw a light of the knife rushing towards her - Shintaro swung his forbearance at Lin's neck at a speed that was one step faster than him. Knife.

Lin had no choice but to give up the attack, raised the two knives in her hands, placed them in an "X" shape, and used the blades in Wuwo Two Swords Style to block Shintaro's katana.

But when Shintaro's ninja sword collided with her Yan Mo and Zhen Guishen, the power transmitted from the blade to her arms far exceeded Lin's imagination.

Lin's eyes widened in astonishment, her feet kicked firmly on the ground, and the strength of her whole body was transmitted to her arms, but she still couldn't compete with Shintaro's strength.

At the moment when Lin was in trouble, Mamiya rushed to Shintaro's side.

Gamiya's center of gravity was lowered, holding the sheath of the sword with his left hand, and the handle of the sword with his right hand, he rushed to Shintaro's side while maintaining the posture of drawing the sword, and performed the sword drawing.

Shintaro wouldn't just stand there foolishly to be slashed by Mamiya's drawn sword. He pushed Lin away with all his strength with both hands, and then retreated quickly to avoid Mamiya's drawn sword.

Seeing that the blow was missed, Mamiya quickly retracted the sword into its sheath, and at an astonishingly fast speed once again set up the posture of drawing the sword, preparing to use the second drawing sword against Shintaro who was still within his attack range.

However, before Mamiya had time to draw the sword again, he saw a cold light attacking him quickly - it was Shintaro's blade.

Gamiya's pupils shrank sharply as he looked at the sharply enlarged blade tip within his field of vision.

Even though he had turned his head away as fast as he could, the tip of Shintaro's stab still drew a bloodstain on Gamiya's left cheek.

Mamiya's eyes were full of surprise.

Because he saw it very clearly just now—he was obviously the first to set up the posture of drawing the sword just now.

When he put on the posture of drawing the sword, Shintaro still didn't put on any posture, but Shintaro still quickly drew the sword at a speed faster than him.

At this time, Shigong's eyes are full of surprise, but looking at Shintaro - his eyes are full of complacency.

Stabbing - is Shintaro's best sword skill.

Through the sword-drawing technique Gamiya used just now, Shintaro saw that Gamiya is a good sword-drawing technique.

The characteristics of the knife drawing technique are fast, precise, and one-hit kills.

So just now he deliberately used his best stabbing to deal with Gamiya, in order to tell Gamiya—look, my sword is far faster than your sword drawing skill.

But at this moment, out of the corner of Shintaro's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl squatting in a corner not far away.

And the girl was pointing at him with a short thing.

Shintaro still has some knowledge about firearms.

So he could tell at a glance - the thing that the girl was holding in her hand was a short gun.

Shintaro's pupils shrank suddenly in shock.

boom!

A-cho pulled the trigger, and there was a deafening sound of bullets coming out of the chamber.

Almost at the same moment when A-Machi pulled the trigger, he quickly jumped to the side.

The scorching bullet flew close to his right thigh.

After narrowly dodging Su Ying's bullet, Shintaro felt cold sweat start to form on his forehead.

As for the person who shot Shintaro just now—that is, Acho, she is now shocked.

A-Machi knew very well that with her melee ability, going up to fight Shintaro hand-to-hand would definitely be a hindrance, so since the battle started, she has been crouching not far away, ready to use her best techniques to provide support.

Just now, because Shintaro has been fighting with other people, Machi couldn't find the best time to shoot.

Until just now, A-cho finally found the long-awaited shooting opportunity, but it was a pity that Shintaro found A-cho who was about to attack him at the last moment.

He secretly thanked himself for discovering Ah-ding just in time.

If he had taken a step late just now, his body might have been shot through by the bullet just now.

The "Yasha state" only greatly increases people's physical strength.

But no matter how much it increases, it is still a mortal body, and it is impossible to block firearms.

Ah-machi, holding a short gun, instantly became the most threatening one in Shintaro's mind among all the people present.

With a sullen face, Shintaro touched his waist, ready to take out his shuriken to deal with A-Machi.

But before his hand touched his waist, Mucun and Asai killed him from different directions, leaving him no time to use the shuriken, so he could only concentrate on dealing with Mucun and Asai who killed him.

"Tsk..." Lin moved her fingers that were numb from receiving Shintaro's slash just now, while staring at Shintaro who was fighting with Mucun and Asai, thinking about the strategy.

Although they currently have 5 of them fighting Shintaro and 1 person, they have the absolute advantage in numbers, but the series of battles with Shintaro just now revealed a cruel fact-even if they have the advantage in numbers, Shintaro still has the advantage. got the upper hand.

If they don't think of a way, they might lose.

Just when Lin pursed her lips, thinking about the winning strategy...

...

"...My lord, can you help me delay Shintaro's 2 sticks of incense?"

...

Mamiya, who had been standing beside Rin expressionlessly since just now, looking at Shintaro who was not far away, suddenly said this softly to Rin, who was thinking of something.

Lin first cast a surprised look at Jiangong.

Then he quickly understood what Mamiya said just now.

"Kuro, do you want to use that? Aren't you still unable to guarantee that you can enter that state every time?"

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Mamiya untied the saber from his waist, then sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the saber on his lap, and said:

"Yeah, I still can't guarantee that I will be able to enter that state."

"But now it's just a gamble."

"Relying on the advantage of numbers, there should be no way to defeat Shintaro."

"So—try your luck."

After all, Mamiya closed his eyes.

The chest rose and fell in a peculiar rhythm.

"...I see." Lin nodded solemnly, "We will delay the time for you."

After finishing speaking, Lin clenched the two knives tightly in her hands, and killed Shintaro.

Ah-Ming, who was crouching not far away, now looked puzzled.

She couldn't figure out what Gamiya was going to do when he suddenly sat cross-legged in a meditation pose.

But she didn't dare to ask Gamiya, because she instinctively felt that it's best not to bother Gamiya now.

After looking at Gamiya carefully for a while, A-cho found that the rhythm of Mamiya's chest rising and falling was very familiar.

She had seen the same breathing rhythm in Ogata.

...

...

After Lin joined the battle, the pressure on Makimura and Asai became much less.

Mucun's left arm was broken in the battle just now, but even with only one arm left, he still retains considerable combat power.

Although they lost to Shintaro who had entered the "Yasha Realm", Lin and the others were masters without exception.

Moreover, Lin and the others belonged to the gourd house and lived under the same roof for a long time, and they had cultivated a tacit understanding without knowing it, and there was no situation where they hindered each other when they cooperated against the enemy.

Relying on the advantage of his own attack distance, Mucun "remotely suppressed" Shintaro.

Asai, who practiced the fierce display technique, confronted Shintaro head-on.

Lin, on the other hand, took the initiative to serve as the auxiliary attack, and launched an attack on Shintaro when he saw the opportunity.

Besieged by three masters with tacit understanding, even if he entered the "Yasha state", it would be difficult for Shintaro to immediately decide the winner in a short time.

Of course——for Shintaro, the biggest threat now is naturally A-Machi who is holding Su Sakura, looking for an opportunity, and ready to attack him at any time.

To Shintaro, Su Sakura in Ah-Machi's hand is like a sword hanging over his head, and it will fall down and pierce his head at some point.

Shintaro always wants to get rid of A-Machi immediately.

But because Lin and the others have been fighting with him, Shintaro not only has no chance to get close to A-cho, but also has no chance to use Kunai to deal with A-cho.

The existence of A-cho made Shintaro have to devote part of his mind to beware of A-cho.

Unable to concentrate all his attention on dealing with Lin, Makimura, and Asai, it is even more difficult for Shintaro to quickly decide the winner.

—What is that man doing?

Taking advantage of the air strike of the battle, Shintaro glanced at Mamiya sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away from the corner of his eye, full of doubts in his heart.

He was also experienced in many battles, and this was the first time he saw an enemy who suddenly sat down on the spot.

Not only Shintaro was puzzled, Mucun and Asai were also very puzzled, they didn't know why Mamiya didn't come to help the battle at such a critical juncture, but sat down where they were.

They really wanted to ask Lin, but now that the battle was in full swing, there was no time to talk at all, so the two of them could only temporarily suppress their doubts.

Because Shintaro and Lin are fighting together, it is getting harder and harder to find opportunities to hit Shintaro without accidentally injuring the three of Lin.

Finally—at this very moment, Ah-cho finally got the best shooting opportunity she had been waiting for.

boom!

Su Ying pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Shintaro has been keeping an eye on Machi.

So after seeing Ah-Machi pull the trigger again, he immediately jumped to the side.

Even though he was the first to dodge, the hot bullet still wiped against his left rib. Although it didn't hit his body, it also took away some flesh.

The burning pain coming from the left rib made Shintaro's expression extremely gloomy, so gloomy that it was scary.

The speed of Su Ying's projectile is too fast, far exceeding that of ordinary muskets. Even if it enters the "Yasha state", there is no guarantee that it will be able to dodge 100%.

After experiencing Su Ying's power once more, the threat level of A-cho in Shintaro's mind has risen to another level.

—that woman is annoying!

Shintaro said bitterly in his heart.

He didn't forget that the executioner Yidaosai was also in Shiranui now.

Although Shuntaro has been asked to hold back Iktosai, but the opponent is the living legend after all, and Shintaro doesn't know if Shuntaro has the ability to hold back Iktosai.

If this drags on like this, there is no guarantee that a knife fast will come.

These people are already annoying enough, if there is another Yidao Zhai to help out, then Shintaro can't imagine the consequences.

After all, the "Yasha Realm" is not invincible. If you are besieged by so many masters, you will still lose.

And if this procrastination continues, he may be killed by a surprise attack by Ah Ding at some point.

The first two times he was able to successfully dodge Su Ying's bullets was purely because of the help of "Yasha State" and timely observation that A-Machi was about to shoot him.

If he was distracted for a moment, the scorching bullet might have entered his body.

Shintaro made a wrong step and dodged Mucun's Otachi again.

While dodging Makimura's knife, Shintaro dodges in front of Asai.

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Asai slashed at Shintaro with the sword he had been holding high.

At the same moment Asai uttered the unique ape cry of Shigenryu, and slashed the knife in his hand towards Shintaro, Shintaro lifted the knife in his hand, pressed the handle against his left palm, and pointed the tip of the knife at Asai - this is a skill that is good at The signature technique created by Shintaro, a stabbing technique: Toad Sword.

Push the ground with both feet, transmit the force from the feet to the arms, and then stab the sword out—because this method of using the feet to stare at the ground is a bit like a squatting and jumping toad, so Shintaro put it Named "Toad Sword".

When Asai swung the knife in his hand, Shintaro hadn't made up his posture yet.

But before Asai's sword cut him, Shintaro quickly set up the posture of "Toad Sword" and launched an attack on Asai.

Shintaro, who used the "Toad Sword", turned the ninja sword in his hand into a stream of light, and let it out towards Asai at an extremely fast speed.

clang!

Asai's blade collided with Shintaro's.

Shintaro's stab blocked Asai's slash.

In the next moment when Asai's slash was blocked, Shintaro's ninja knife stuck to Asai's knife, and a series of sparks were wiped out, stabbing Asai.

Shintaro's ninja sword pierced Asai's body.

However, because Asai's sword and Shintaro's ninja sword collided in mid-air just now, Shintaro's stabbing trajectory was slightly deviated, so Shintaro's sword did not hit Asai's vital point.

Shintaro wanted to make up for Asai, but Lin and Mucun at the side naturally wouldn't allow him to do so.

Lin and Mucun attacked Shintaro from both sides.

Shintaro withdrew his ninja sword from Asai, then backed away quickly, dodging the attacks of Lin and Mucun, and then assumed the "toad sword" posture again.

This time, Shintaro aimed at Rin with the tip of his knife.

Just as Shintaro was about to thrust out his sword, another gunshot rang out.

Atachi took advantage of the fact that there was no one around Shintaro, and shot for the third time.

This time, Suying's projectile finally hit Shintaro successfully.

However——Because Shintaro's movements are so fast, it is difficult for even Acho to shoot him accurately.

The projectile hit Shintaro in the left buttock.

Shintaro let out a low cry of pain, then resisted the pain, and used the "toad sword" on Lin.

clang!

There was another sound of sword clashing.

Lin originally planned to use step-up steps to avoid Shintaro's move, but found that she couldn't dodge at all, so she could only temporarily use the blade counter to defend.

Then what happened to Asai just now happened to Lin again—Lin's two knives were bounced off by Shintaro's, and the tip of the knife pierced Lin's right shoulder.

It was also too late to make up for Lin, because Mucun came.

While Makimura rushed towards Shintaro, Machi pulled the trigger for the fourth time.

Unfortunately, this shot didn't work.

Shintaro has put Lin and Asai down, the pressure has been greatly reduced, and he can devote more attention to guarding against A-cho.

While quickly dodging the fourth projectile flying towards him, Shintaro dodged in front of Makimura.

This time, Shintaro did not attack Shanmu Village again.

Instead, he raised the ninja sword in his hand to take Mucun's slash hard.

clang! !

Shintaro caught Makimura's sword firmly.

The huge force coming from the blade made Shintaro grit his teeth.

With strength in his arms, Shintaro pushed Mucun's knife away abruptly, and then slashed at Mucun who was wide open.

And Mucun is also a person with rich combat experience.

After his knife was pushed away, he quickly and subconsciously took half a step back.

And it was this half step back that saved him - Shintaro's knife only sliced ​​through his flesh, not his internal organs.

The blade slipped out of Mucun's body, and before Mucun fell down, Shintaro hurriedly pulled out the shuriken from his waist with his free left hand.

Now there is no one in his way anymore.

He couldn't wait to kill A-Ming who had caused him so much suffering since the beginning of the war.

The only injury on his whole body at present - the injury on his left hip was caused by Ah Ding.

If it wasn't for Ah Ding who had been waiting for an opportunity to shoot him, making him unable to concentrate all the time, otherwise he would have defeated Lin and the others long ago.

Shintaro drew out his shuriken, and just as he was about to throw the shuriken at A-Machi, a sound of breaking wind sounded from beside him.

Shintaro's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly jumped to the side, but the shuriken had already flown out of his palm, and he couldn't take it back.

However, when the shuriken flew out, it was still affected by Shintaro who jumped away suddenly, and the flight trajectory was slightly crooked.

The shuriken that originally flew straight towards A-Machi's chest instead flew straight towards A-Machi's right shoulder.

Although when he saw Shintaro take out the shuriken from his waist, Acho was ready to dodge.

But the speed at which Shintaro threw the shuriken was so fast that A-Machi had no time to dodge it.

The shuriken still hit A-Machi's right shoulder with precision, and A-Machi let out a cry of pain. Because of the injury to his right shoulder, Su Sakura couldn't hold Su Sakura unsteadily in his right hand, and Su Sakura flew out of A-Machi's hand. Sliding on the ground, it finally stopped when it was more than ten steps away from A-Ming.

The person who stabbed Shintaro just now was Lin.

Lin's right shoulder was hit by Shintaro's "Toad Sword" just now, and now she can no longer hold the sword with her right hand, so Lin can no longer use the double swords, and can only use her left arm to hold Yan Mo—— This should be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, because Lin is left-handed, fortunately, the right shoulder was injured, not the left shoulder.

After frowning and glaring at Rin who was obstructing him, Shintaro turned around and killed Rin.

The trauma that A-Machi had just caused to his left hip was still aching, but it didn't affect Shintaro's display of strength.

With the help of Makimura and Asai, and with her own body intact, Lin and the others are no match for Shintaro.

Now both Mucun and Asai fell to the ground due to their injuries, and they lost their combat effectiveness. Lin's right shoulder is also injured now. In such a situation, fighting alone with Shintaro, Lin is naturally even less of an opponent.

However—even though she knew that she was definitely not Shintaro's opponent, there was no trace of fear or retreat on Lin's face.

While wrestling with Rin, Shintaro seized the gap and threw another shuriken at Machi who was clutching his injured right shoulder and going to pick up Su Sakura.

Because there was only one injured Lin to contend with him, so Shintaro couldn't even find a space to throw a shuriken like before.

However, because the main energy and attention were focused on dealing with Lin, Shintaro's shuriken shot was not carefully aimed, so this shuriken shot missed Acho's vitals, and only hit Acho's left thigh.

A-Machi let out another cry of pain and fell to the ground.

Due to a thigh injury, I was temporarily unable to stand up again.

But even though he couldn't stand up for the time being, A-machi still firmly crawled towards the place where Su Ying fell, trying to pick up Su Ying.

After temporarily solving the threat of A-Machi, Shintaro put all his attention on the duel with Lin.

Although Lin has a high fighting spirit, it is difficult to make up for the lack of strength with spirit.

After only parrying a few moves, Lin's Yan Mo was picked up by Shintaro.

After losing Yan Mo, Lin still didn't show the slightest fear on her face.

He quickly reached his waist and pulled out Wakizashi Shinkigami.

However—as soon as Lin pulled out Zhenguishen, Shintaro once again aimed at Lin with a powerful and heavy strike.

Lin Kankan put up the Zhenguishen in his hand to defend.

However, because of her daughter's body, strength is Lin's weakness.

Using one hand to defend the two hands of Shintaro who has entered the "Yasha Realm" - the result can be imagined.

As soon as Zhenguishen collided with Shintaro's ninja knife, Lin couldn't stop the huge force, causing Zhenguishen to come out like Yan Mo just now.

"...I have to praise you." Shintaro said to Lin who no longer had any swords in a calm tone, "There are not many women who are proficient in swordsmanship, and this is the first time I have seen such a strong female swordsman like you. "

"Give me your name, I want to know the name of a rare female swordsman like you."

"I don't have a name that I can tell the enemy." Lin responded without thinking.

"Yeah, forget it."

Shintaro raised the sword in his hand, pointed the point at Rin, and assumed a "toad sword" posture.

Mucun and Asai, who were lying on the ground, wanted to get up to rescue them, but their injuries made it difficult for them to move.

Looking at Lin, who was already pointed at by the tip of Shintaro's knife, a touch of despair began to appear on the faces of the two of them.

And Ah-machi is still a few steps away from her Su Ying.

Everyone is powerless to stop Shintaro...

However--

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to stab the knife in his hand, Shintaro's pupils shrank suddenly.

He was busy fighting with these people just now, so Shintaro didn't pay attention to Lin's face.

Now that the distance between the two is getting closer, and when they have time to look at Lin's face carefully, Shintaro's face and pupils are instantly filled with astonishment.

"Hey!"

For some reason, Shintaro released the "Toad Sword" stance that was ready to go.

While staring at Lin's face, he asked in a deep voice:

"I ask you! Do you have any brothers and sisters?!"

"...I don't need to answer any of your questions." Although she didn't understand why Shintaro asked her this question for no reason, Lin still replied coldly.

Lin's answer made Shintaro grit his teeth in displeasure.

Just when he was about to say something more——

...

call--!

...

The extremely sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded from his back.

After hearing the breaking wind from behind, Shintaro felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

Relying on his fighting instinct, Shintaro rolled to the side in an unattractive posture.

However—even though Shintaro had quickly moved away, the sting came from behind him.

After rolling a few times on the ground and stabilizing his figure, Shintaro immediately raised his hand to touch his back.

As soon as his fingers touched his back, Shintaro felt hot blood—blood bubbling from his wound.

"You guy...?!" Shintaro looked at the man who had a wound on his back with a look of astonishment.

"...It seems to be successful." Lin looked at the person in front of him who was still holding the sword, with a smile on his face, "It's really... I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Sorry... for keeping you waiting."

The person who managed to get close to Shintaro's body and cut Shintaro's back just now was Mamiya.

While talking, Mamiya slowly turned his head and looked at Shintaro not far away.

After Gamiya looked at him, Shintaro realized that - at this time, there seemed to be some strange light shining in Gamiya's eyes.

There is no emotion in the pupils of the eyes, and they look neither sad nor happy.

Shintaro is still in shock until now.

He didn't realize just now that Jiangong approached him from behind.

And he had obviously escaped as quickly as possible just now, but Gamiya's knife still managed to leave a huge horizontal scar on his back.

Not fatal, but very painful.

Mamiya didn't say a word to Shintaro.

After glancing at Mucun and Asai who fell to the ground, he slowly retracted the sword in his hand into the scabbard...

Snapped!

There was a loud kicking sound.

Mamiya turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Shintaro.

Mamiya's speed made Shintaro's eyes widen in shock.

Before and after rushing to Shintaro, Mamiya pulled out his sword and slashed.

The light of the sword swept towards Shintaro, and Shintaro stood up the sword in his hand to defend.

clang!

Just as the speed of Mamiya shocked Shintaro just now, the power of Time Palace also shocked Shintaro.

Mamiya attacks Shintaro like a storm.

His sword turned into beams of light that shrouded Shintaro.

After exchanging offense and defense with Mamiya more than a dozen times, the astonishment on Shintaro's face became more and more intense.

Compared with just now, Jiangong seems to be a different person.

Whether it's eyesight or strength.

"You bastard!" Shintaro looked at the gap and shouted, "What did you do?!"

"I'm not obligated to answer any of your questions." After responding to Shintaro lightly, the knife in Mamiya's hand became faster.

Shintaro didn't know why Mamiya suddenly became so much stronger.

The current Mamiya is already able to compete with him who has entered the "Yasha State"... No, it should be said that he can gain the upper hand in the battle with him who has entered the "Yasha State"-although Shintaro is very reluctant to admit it, But it's always true.

—what did he do? !

Shouting in such horror in his heart, Shintaro clenched his teeth and used all his strength to fight against Gamiya.

Mamiya's sword and Shintaro's ninja sword struck each other dozens of times in mid-air at a blindingly fast speed.

A-cho had already picked up her Su Ying just now.

But she couldn't find a chance to support Gamiya at all.

Because the current Mamiya is like sticking to Shintaro, and there is no good time to shoot.

After Shintaro realized that Gamiya should not be underestimated at this time, he also put away all his contempt, tensed every nerve in his body, and went all out to fight Gamiya.

clang!

clang!

clang!

...

The sound of sharp blades colliding exploded at an unrhythmic frequency.

As if agreed in advance, Mamiya and Shintaro suffered minor or major injuries alternately.

But in general - Shintaro's injuries appear faster.

After forcing Shintaro back with a single blow, Mamiya saw the opportunity and retracted the sword into its sheath.

Then in the next moment, the light of the sword popped out from the scabbard and swept towards Shintaro's chest.

The clothes and flesh on Shintaro's right chest were cut to pieces.

Shintaro endured the severe pain and launched a counterattack against Gamiya.

Wielding the ninja knife in his hand, he hooked Zhonggong's right thigh from bottom to top, drawing a bloodstain in one breath.

But this injury is just a minor injury that doesn't hurt, it can't even affect Gamiya's strength.

Shintaro jumped back a few steps abruptly, opening the distance between himself and Mamiya.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

While breathing heavily, Shintaro glared fiercely at Mamiya in front of him.

He was already panting, and Gamiya was just breathing more heavily.

Not only that, Gamiya's injuries were much less than his.

It is clear at a glance who is more dominant now.

"Bastard...! Bastard...!"

Shintaro cursed loudly.

The situation of the battle is already obvious - if he continues to consume like this with Jian Gong, he will lose.

After pursing his lips and thinking about the countermeasures, Shintaro clenched the ninja sword in his hand, kicked his hind legs, and jumped towards Mamiya.

He stabbed Jian Gong twice.

And his two knives were undoubtedly blocked by Gamiya.

However, the moment the second knife was blocked, Shintaro quickly retracted his knife.

The handle of the knife rests on his left palm, and the point of the knife is aimed at Gamiya—this is the posture of his signature technique "Toad Sword".

The moment the posture was established, the tip of the knife stabbed straight into Kamiya's chest.

Shintaro's attack was much stronger and faster than any attack just now, which made Mamiya's eyes that had been calm since just now showed a bit of surprise.

Stabbing is a very difficult attack to defend against, so Gamiya did not choose to defend, but chose to jump to the side to dodge.

It's just that Shintaro's "Toad Sword" was too fast, even though Mamiya had already dodged in time, the tip of the knife stabbed by Shintaro still took away part of the flesh and blood from Mamiya's right rib.

After seeing that his attack had a good effect, Shintaro's face showed a bit of satisfaction and complacency.

——He can't handle my "Toad Sword"!

Shintaro shouted excitedly in his heart.

Excited to find a chance to win.

After quickly retracting the stabbed knife, Shintaro rushed towards Mamiya again.

After confronting Mamiya several times again, Shintaro once again assumed the "toad sword" posture.

This time, Kamiya did not dodge.

Instead, with a sullen face, he retracted his sword into the scabbard, and at the same moment Shintaro set up the "Toad Sword", he assumed the posture of drawing the sword.

With just one glance, Shintaro knew what Mamiya was going to do—planning to compete with him for sword speed.

Let's see if his drawing sword is faster, or Shintaro's toad sword is faster.

Seeing Gamiya's posture of drawing a sword, Shintaro not only did not flinch in the slightest, but became a little excited instead.

Because - he is very confident in his sword drawing skills.

choke--!

Gamiya drew his sword out of its sheath.

At the same moment that Mamiya drew his sword, Shintaro also stabbed out the sword in his hand.

The two attacked at the same instant.

However - Shintaro's sword was one step faster than Mamiya's.

Shintaro's sword pierced the flesh under Mamiya's left collarbone.

Gamiya had just pulled his knife out of its sheath.

A low cry of pain came from Gamiya's throat.

Before Shintaro's sword pierced Zhonggong just now, Mamiya's body instinctively tilted, otherwise what was pierced would not be the flesh under his left collarbone, but his left chest.

Seeing that his toad sword had completely defeated Mamiya's sword-drawing technique, and successfully left a serious wound on Mamiya's body, Shintaro's face became more smug.

After quickly pulling out the ninja knife from Gamiya's body, Shintaro jumped back a few steps, widening the distance between himself and Gamiya.

Lin, Atachi, Makimura, and Asai are all watching the battle.

When they saw that Mamiya lost to Shintaro's Toad Sword, they all showed astonishment, shock and worry.

But only Lin's expression remained unchanged.

When Mamiya and Shintaro were fighting together, Lin silently went to make a simple bandage for Asai who was seriously injured.

While bandaging, he also silently watched the battle between Mamiya and Shintaro.

Rin looked at Mamiya, who was fighting Shintaro to the death, with calm eyes from beginning to end.

Even after seeing that Mamiya couldn't handle Shintaro's toad sword, he still had a calm face, without a trace of worry on his face.

It was as if he was not worried that Gamiya would lose at all.

"Do you think you can beat my toad sword with your third-rate sword drawing skills?" Shintaro shouted arrogantly at Mamiya.

Just now, Mamiya succeeded in injuring Mamiya in one step, which made Shintaro very proud now.

Mamiya ignored Shintaro's provocation just now, he raised his left hand and touched the new wound under the left collarbone.

"Third-rate knife drawing technique..." Gamiya looked down at his left palm with a blank face, and the left palm was full of blood.

"I didn't want to use that trick to deal with you. After all, using that trick to deal with you always feels a bit cheap."

Mamiya said softly.

"But what you said just now made me very unhappy."

"Really, there is no way..."

After finishing speaking, Mamiya slowly retracted the sword in his hand into the scabbard.

"Do you know?" Gamiya said softly while retracting the sheath, "Let me tell you a little trick of using the knife drawing technique."

"Sword drawing technique, if you eject the knife from the sheath in advance, the speed will be much faster."

"Ah?" Shintaro looked at Mamiya who was talking nonsense seriously with eyes like looking at a fool, "What are you talking about? Who doesn't know this kind of thing?!"

"No, you don't know."

Gamiya's sword had been fully retracted into its sheath.

"You just know it's going to be faster, but you know—how much faster?"

After finishing speaking, Mamiya lowered the center of gravity of his body and ran towards Shintaro at a speed as if flying close to the ground.

Looking at Mamiya who took the initiative to kill him, Shintaro was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled ferociously with a bit of excitement.

Gamiya took the initiative to attack him - this was more conducive to his attack.

Shintaro stayed put, pointed the tip of the knife at Gamiya, put the bottom of the handle against the palm of his left hand, and once again assumed the posture of "Toad Sword".

He planned to finish him off with a blow from the toad sword, which had an attack speed much higher than that of Jiangong, after Jiangong entered his attack range!

After seeing Shintaro posing with the toad sword, Mamiya's expression didn't change at all.

He didn't dodge, nor did he make any defensive moves.

Press only your left hand on the mouth of the sheath.

The thumb of the left hand raised up and pressed against the saber, allowing the saber to pop out of the sheath for an inch or so.

Then raise your right hand and hold the handle tightly.

After Gamiya clenched the handle of the knife, he rushed into the range where his knife could hit Shintaro.

It's just that - his attack distance is the same as Shintaro's.

In other words - he also entered the attack range of Shintaro.

Looking at Mamiya who seemed to be flying into the flames, a smug look appeared on Shintaro's face.

Just when Shintaro was about to stab out the sword in his hand, killing Gamiya——

A murmur came from the mouth of the palace:

"Feiyan is heartbroken

Profound meaning

--moment! "

...

...

--Ok?

Shintaro looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously.

Because everything within his field of vision is upside down.

Above is the floor, below is the ceiling.

Everything is upside down.

Not only is everything upside down, but Shintaro also feels his vision drop rapidly.

Everything in the field of vision is rapidly passing from the bottom to the top of his field of vision - as if his body is falling.

--what happened?

Shintaro wanted to move his body.

But I found that I couldn't drive my body at all.

Just when Shintaro was thinking about what was going on in horror, the scene that appeared in front of him told him the answer - Mamiya maintaining the sword-stretching posture, and a body without a head standing in front of Mamiya.

Shintaro... No, it should be said that Shintaro, who has only one head left, recognized it—this is his body.

——I...was hacked? ! when? ! When was it chopped off? !

Shintaro wanted to let out a terrified roar.

But now he can't speak at all.

He desperately recalled everything that happened just now.

All he remembered was that Gamiya rushed into his attack range.

When he was about to use the Toad Sword... the scene in front of him suddenly turned upside down.

And until his head was chopped off, Shintaro didn't see when Gamiya made the knife just now.

Boom.

Shintaro's head finally landed with a dull sound.

After landing, Shintaro began to feel his vision blurred and blackened.

The fear of death instantly occupied his entire brain.

He instinctively wants to resist death.

However—with only one head left, he obviously couldn't do anything.

In the end, he could only watch the darkness fill his entire field of vision, and in the end—— completely lost all consciousness.

When did he make the knife—this is the last sentence remaining in Shintaro's mind.

...

...

After chopping off Shintaro's head with a knife, Shintaro's body also fell limply.

After Shintaro fell, Mamiya retracted the sword and swung the sheath.

After the blade returned to its sheath, the strange light in Gamiya's eyes slowly dissipated.

After the strange light in his eyes dissipated, Gamiya's breathing became short-lived instantly, and he had to inhale and exhale heavily.

The fatigue that kept pouring out of his body made Gamiya couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, feeling like his chest was about to explode.

"'No-Self Realm' is really domineering..." Jiangong smiled wryly, "In just such a short time, my physical strength has been almost exhausted..."
