Knife chops bullets... Er Lao's move made the enemy soldiers tremble with fear!
In fact, not only the enemy soldiers were shocked, but even Shusuke Kondo himself was surprised.
This was the first time he split an incoming bullet.
Before this, he had never tried... nor dared to try such a life-threatening technique.
Perhaps he was ready to die, and all the worries and burdens that had previously occupied his heart disappeared.
He feels in excellent physical condition now.
The limbs are light and the muscles are elastic.
The trajectory of the bullet, which could only be barely discerned before, is now very clear.
His back and internal organs, which had been in pain due to the severe injuries, now seemed to be back to normal.
He was sure that this was the moment in which he was in the best physical condition in his life in the past ten years... no!
He and Seiichiro Tanani repeatedly waved the sharp blades in their hands, knocking down all the bullets that came close to them one by one.
In the blink of an eye, they had broken into the enemy group!
Soon enough, Kondo Shusuke's right elbow flicked open like a broken piano string, and he quickly slashed the two kings in his hand, knocking over the enemy in front of him, and then plunged into the enemy group along the gap.
He raised the tip of the knife, cut the upper right section, swiped the knife diagonally, and chopped off most of the first man's head. Then he turned the blade and slashed in the opposite direction, slicing open the second man's chest.
Then, he repeated his old tricks.
It starts from the upper right section again, and then slashes diagonally from the upper right to the lower left.
After hacking the third person to death, he turned the blade again and swung it diagonally from the lower left to the upper right, killing the fourth person.
After the blade returned to the upper right section, he slashed diagonally down again along the exact same trajectory - from the upper right to the lower left - and then returned to the upper right section along the original trajectory...
The fifth person, the sixth person, the seventh person, the eighth person... His number of enemies killed kept rising.
Chop again and again, lift again and again.
He just kept repeating the same moves and the same knife path, cutting down enemy soldiers one after another.
Although it is monotonous, it is very efficient!
At this time, Kondo Shusuke was like a farmer holding a sickle, repeatedly and efficiently cutting off stubbles of grass!
Of course, in an ever-changing battlefield, there is no such thing as "a new trick can be used all over the world".
Suddenly, several bayonets stabbed at him from three directions: left, front, and right.
Danger was approaching and he had no time to attack.
He immediately stopped his attack and quickly lowered his upper body.
The bayonets passed through his head, crossing each other.
As long as they smashed the bayonet in their hands, they could chop off Shusuke Kondo's head and severely injure him.
Unexpectedly, Kondo Shusuke got the upper hand.
At the same moment when the cat lowered his waist, he swung his sword horizontally like a windmill, sweeping towards the lower limbs of the enemy soldiers around him.
Wherever the blade passed, one leg after another was cut off.
These severed legs with complete incisions were still standing in place, but the people on the legs fell to the ground one after another, screaming and wailing.
The guy who had his leg cut off was quite bloody.
When he was about to fall to the ground, he shouted "Ouch, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,"" he bent and stretched his waist, slammed into Kondo Shusuke, threw himself on him, and wrapped his arms tightly around his waist.
Faced with such an accident, Kondo Shusuke calmly released his left hand, clenched his five fingers hard, and punched the opponent's chin.
Instantly, the feeling of broken bones reached his fist.
Although he didn't know why, he knew that the chin was a major weakness of the human body.
If the jaw is hit hard, even a man as strong as an ox will feel dizzy or even faint.
Sure enough, after the opponent's chin received a heavy blow, his eyes suddenly became "clear" and the strength of his arms suddenly weakened.
Kondo Shusuke seized this opportunity, raised his knee, kicked the opponent away and added a stab.
Before this enemy fell to the ground, he had already changed his posture, adjusted his movements, and was ready to kill the next enemy!
While fighting the enemy bravely, he never forgets to raise his gaze, always observe the position of Tan Seiichiro, and do his best to support the opponent and share the pressure with him.
However, is it so easy to keep up with the attack speed and rhythm of the "Juggernaut"?
Kondo Shusuke tried his best, but was always 2 to 3 positions behind his opponent.
If Shusuke Kondo is as fierce as a tiger, then Seiichiro Tanani is as brave as a dragon!
At this moment, he placed the knife in his palm on his left side, then swung the knife horizontally from left to right, mowing down a large group of people.
Immediately afterwards, he adjusted the direction of the blade, placed the knife on his right side, and then swung the knife horizontally from right to left, mowing down a large group of people.
When cutting horizontally to the right, he uses his right arm as the main point of force, making the knife an extension of his right arm, and his left arm only serves to stabilize the handle.
When slashing horizontally to the left, he used his left arm as the main point of force, making the knife an extension of his left arm, and his right arm only served to stabilize the handle.
The changes in moves and the switching of power points can be described as smooth and smooth.
With just two sword strikes, a large area of ​​"no man's land" was cleared.
Compared with Kondo Shusuke, he is the real "mower"!
As we all know, the human body is very dense.
A swordsman who can cut off a human body with one sword is considered a skilled swordsman.
But under the knife of the male Tan Seiichiro, the density of the human body seems to have disappeared!
No matter whether the opponent is tall or short, fat or thin, he will cut it if he says it! He can cut muscles and bones with just one knife, and chop several human bodies in a row!
What's even more frightening is that he didn't strike out of mind.
Every time he draws his sword, he will think in advance which enemies he should deal with next and how he should swing the sword.
In this way, his killing speed is naturally much faster than Kondo Shusuke.
There is a significant difference in the level of swordsmanship between the two... No matter how hard Kondo Shusuke tries, he cannot make up for this huge gap.
Kondo Shusuke, who was following closely behind him, could only "pick up the slack" and kill those remaining enemies who were lucky enough to escape his blade.
Suddenly, a hoarse shout came from the side of Seiichiro Tanani:
"Go to hell!"
An enemy soldier with a ferocious face jumped out, using the momentum of his leap, he slashed the knife raised above his head down hard, and struck at the head of the male Tan Seiichiro.
The attack position chosen by this man was very tricky, and it happened to be stuck in the visual blind spot of Seiichiro Tanani.
Male Tan Seiichiro's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled the knife back to his hand, preparing to receive the man's blow forcefully.
Unexpectedly, his defensive actions became redundant.
Because at this moment, a sharp arrow shot from behind him and hit the opponent's neck!
The arrow was extremely powerful and extremely fast. After penetrating the opponent's neck, it directly dragged the person to fly 2 or 3 steps laterally before stopping.
Even without seeing with his eyes, Tan Seiichiro knew who shot the arrow - after all, there was no one else but him.
"Seiichiro! Move forward!!"
Along with this shout, another arrow flew and killed another enemy soldier who was preparing to harm the male Tan Seiichiro.
"forward!!"
Arrow after arrow penetrated the atmosphere.
One after another, the enemy soldiers covered the area where they were hit by the arrow and fell to the ground dead with pain on their faces.
Kubota Kiyone's precise sniper attack immediately attracted the attention of the enemy soldiers.
The enemy soldiers armed with muskets and bows and arrows raised their weapons one after another and poured firepower on Kubota Kiyone in the distance.
However……
"Quick! Kill him!"
"No! The distance is too far! You can't hit him!"
"Who is the opponent?! He has such superb bow skills!"
"I saw it! It's Kubota Kiyone, the head of the martial arts department!"
"First, here comes Seiichiro Tanani, and now comes Kiyone Kubota...!"
The bow is very big and long.
"Stand up straight" is the first condition for using the bow.
Otherwise, you won't even be able to lift the bow.
But now Kubota Kiyone could no longer stand, and it was very difficult to just sit up.
In desperation, he simply gritted his teeth, turned the bow horizontally, and held the bow horizontally!
In this way, you can use the bow even while sitting on the ground.
However, this will inevitably greatly increase the burden on the arms.
But now, he doesn't care about it anymore!
At this moment, Kubota Kiyone was like a large bed crossbow, sparing no effort to provide long-range support, shooting every enemy soldier who tried to get close to Otani Seiichiro and Kondo Shusuke to the ground.
Armed with two knives and a bow, the three old men brought chaos to the enemy army.
It is true that Seiichiro Otani and Shusuke Kondo both have the courage to be invincible.
But... but...
Not only does the enemy have an overwhelming numerical advantage, but they are also equipped with a large number of muskets... Such a huge disparity has already destined this battle to be tragic.
Whoosh!
Another bayonet stabbed Kondo Shusuke.
He twisted slightly to dodge the opponent's stabbing blow, and then stabbed the opponent with his backhand, sending the opponent to hell.
The next moment, he stepped on his heels, ready to move forward, continue to swing his sword, and continue to fight.
But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dark muzzle of a gun - not far to his left, an enemy soldier held a flintlock gun in his hand and aimed straight at him.
The opponent crouched on the ground, cleverly concealing his figure.
For this reason, Kondo Shusuke failed to discover its existence at the first time.
When Shusuke Kondo found him, his finger was already around the trigger...
At this moment, Kondo Shusuke's posture no longer allowed him to dodge.
then……
Bang!
The bullet that came out of the barrel hit Shusuke Kondo right in the belly!
"Uh...!"
The severe pain caused his facial features to wrinkle into a ball.
He staggered in his steps and almost fell to the ground.
He felt like there was a fire burning in his belly.
A gurgling stream of blood spurted out... What flowed out along with the wound was his whole body's strength and vitality.
This bullet not only severely damaged his body, but also disrupted his rhythm.
He was like a wounded tiger. When the surrounding wolves smelled the smell of blood, they immediately showed their ferocious faces and rushed forward, trying to tear off the flesh and blood from his body.
Bayonets and knives struck at Kondo Shusuke from different directions.
"Shusuke?!"
The male Tan Seiichiro's exclamation came from ahead.
Kondo Shusuke gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from between his teeth:
"Seiichiro! Don't worry about me! Move forward!!"
Seiichiro Tanani turned his head slightly and used the corner of his eye to check Kondo Shusuke's current situation.
His eyes flickered slightly, and his cheeks were full of strong hesitation... He seemed to be making the most difficult decision in the world.
His hesitation did not last long.
One second later, he withdrew his gaze, looked ahead again, and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
At this moment, his sword skills lost their previous coolness and became extremely rough.
"Kill!" (Russian)
"This old man is dying!"
"Be careful! I recognize him! He is the third generation head of the Tenurishin-ryu clan, Shusuke Kondo!"
"It doesn't matter if he is the third generation or the fourth generation! He is seriously injured now! If we don't take his life, how long will it take?!"
"His head is mine!" (Russian)
Countless enemy soldiers joined this "carnival".
One by one, they all felt that Kondo Shusuke was a soft persimmon at this time, and they couldn't wait to gain credit from him.
Kondo Shusuke didn't even have time to seal the wound, so he could only let the wound in his belly continue to bleed outwards, hold the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and face the vast enemy swarm.
"You want my life? Okay, come on...!"
Sweeping, vertical slashing, diagonal slashing, forward stabbing... He continuously released his sword skills, cutting down every enemy soldier who entered his sword circle.
The wound on his belly made his movements slow.
The cutting speed, reaction speed, and dodge speed are all inferior to Fang Cai.
He kept killing enemy soldiers, but the enemy soldiers also kept creating new wounds on his body.
puff!
A bayonet penetrated his left thigh.
laugh!
A knife hit him on the right shoulder.
Bang!
Another bullet hit him in the stomach.
There are more and more wounds.
The blood flowed more and more.
Gradually, Kondo Shusuke felt that his legs were floating... his consciousness gradually became blurred.
He now wields the knife with sheer willpower and muscle memory.
In a daze, he suddenly remembered A Bi's face.
She became younger and wore ultramarine clothes... He remembered clearly that this was the clothes she was wearing when they met.
(What kind of man do I like? I like a man who is upright. What? Do you want to marry me? So you came here to find out information?)
(Yes, yes! Miss Bi, I think you are really a role model for a daughter of the Wu family. Will you be my wife?)
(Giggle~ Then you have to work harder and strive to become an upright man as soon as possible.)
——Abi, can I become a man who stands upright now?
As soon as he thought about this, Abi's face gradually faded away.
Instead, there was the figure of his adopted son Kondo Isamu.
(Mr. Kondo...ah, no, father! Please take good care of me from now on!)
(Yong, we are already father and son, so there is no need to be so formal! Come, sit over here quickly, as a commemoration of the official marriage of father and son, we will not return home until we get drunk tonight!)
——Yong, have I become an excellent father that makes you proud?
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
A violent cough interrupted all thoughts in his mind.
A large amount of hot blood spurted out from his throat, staining his lips, teeth and collar red.
In an instant...at the moment when he suddenly vomited blood, he suddenly felt that the pain all over his body was fading away.
Even the already blurred consciousness returned to clarity at this moment.
Then, he saw an incredible sight.
"Huh? Xiaosi? Suisan?"
He blinked his eyes in surprise and looked to his left and right - he saw Souji and Hijikata Toshizo standing on his left and right respectively.
No, it’s not just the two of them!
Aoto, Souji, Toshizo Hijikata, Isamu Kondo, Keisuke Yamanan, Genzaburo Inoue, Shinpachi Nagakura, Ichi Saito, Heisuke Toudo, Sanosuke Harada... the little guys appeared one after another and stood around him.
"Old man! Look at the knife!"
At this time, an enemy soldier stepped forward, attacked head-on like a mountain, and rushed toward Kondo Shusuke.
The opponent's slash was as fast as thunder... At this critical moment, Kondo Shusuke subconsciously raised the Erwang Seimi in his palm and used an exquisite move to deflect the opponent's slash to the side.
The enemy was not surprised, but Shusuke Kondo was stunned for the first time - this was not his move.
This special force-reducing technique...is Saito Ichi's specialty.
He didn't know what was happening to him, so his body moved consciously and naturally used Saito Ichi's moves.
Before he could think about it carefully, several more enemy soldiers came to kill him.
In the midst of this chaos, Kondo Shusuke's body started acting "without authorization" again.
He raised the two kings Qingshi above his head, shouted briefly, and slashed down with all his strength, killing the enemy soldiers in front of him.
This is Nagakura Shinpachi's heavy slashing.
He shook the blade and deliberately used a flaw to deceive the enemy soldiers on the right to attack.
This is Shannan Keisuke's technique of bullying the enemy.
He released his left hand, grabbed the enemy on the left by his collar, and knocked him to the ground.
This is Hijikata Toshizo's jujitsu.
He changed his steps flexibly and dodged several enemy attacks in succession.
This is the footwork of Toudo Heisuke.
He raised the knife, adopted the Blue Eyes stance, then struck out quickly, piercing the chest of an enemy soldier, and then quickly pulled the knife back to his hand.
This is Souji's Ping Qingyan stab.
From offense to defense, from body movement to posture changes, he constantly uses the little guys' special moves and unique skills.
With a series of combos by the heroes of the trial guard hall in this episode, the enemy's offensive was resolved one by one, and more and more bodies fell at the old man's feet.
If there are people who know Kondo Shusuke here, they will be surprised to see his fighting style like this.
In fact, Kondo Shusuke has always been a very stubborn person.
He firmly believes that Natural Rishin-ryu is the strongest school in the world, and has considerable resistance to the moves of other schools.
He had once thought that Seito and Hijikata Tozo were too sophisticated in their studies and were not pure Nian Rishin-ryu swordsmen, so he was unwilling to grant them permission to exempt themselves from the allegory.
This stubborn old man actually uses moves from other schools to fight at this time... It is really a strange thing.
At first, Kondo Shusuke frowned slightly, his cheeks filled with a complex color.
However, in just a moment, he seemed to have figured out something, his brows gradually relaxed, and a calm smile appeared on the slightly raised corners of his lips.
——That's it...that's it...
——Ah Yi, your "killing force" is indeed a unique skill.
——Shinpachi, you are right, if you kill like this, it will be more powerful.
——Suisan, no wonder you like physical combat so much.
——Xiao Si, it’s really not that easy to perfectly copy your moves...
"Hey! What's going on with this guy?" (Russian)
"Has he also taken medicine? Why is he still not falling down even though he is injured like this?!"
"Weird, monster!"
"I won't fight! I won't fight!"
As the director of the imperial examination hall and a teacher who teaches and teaches, Kondo Shusuke has always believed that as a teacher, the happiest moment is to witness his disciples surpass their own imagination.
But at this moment, at this moment, he suddenly realized: For a teacher, the happiest moment is actually when his disciples teach him and lead him to improve together!
It turns out that I can still do this, I didn’t even know... It turns out that there is such a move... It turns out that I can become stronger...
It's a pity that he didn't fully understand this truth until today...
Unknowingly, he felt suddenly enlightened, and all the shadows that had originally obscured his vision disappeared - he had chopped down all the dense enemy groups around him!
There is only the last enemy soldier left in front of you!
The other person showed a look of relief as if he was dead, and he tightly clenched the knife in his hand.
Kondo Shusuke silently raised the tip of the knife and picked up the cloud formation - this is the posture Aoto is best at using.
Aim, charge up, and rush out like a cannonball!
He slammed into the opponent with both his body and the knife, and the knife in his palm pierced the opponent's chest.
But at the same time, the opponent's knife also penetrated Kondo Shusuke's body...
The other party vomited several mouthfuls of blood and died.
Kondo Shusuke's expression remained unchanged and he calmly took back the knife.
At this point, there were no more enemy soldiers around him.
They thought wholeheartedly of "killing you while you are injured", but unexpectedly they ended up with an embarrassing ending of "death or escape".
The rest of the enemy soldiers were busy dealing with Seiichiro Tanani, and no one had time to "look after" Kondo Shusuke.
For this reason, he was able to gain a moment of peace.
"A little...tired..."
He let out a long breath, swayed slightly, and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
At this time, he saw "Qing Deng" and others who had been by his side and fought side by side with him, leaving him one after another.
They moved straight ahead without stopping.
Kondo Shusuke raised his gaze and calmly stared at "Aoden" and others who were getting further and further away from him.
They are still moving forward, and they can still move forward... It is a pity that the old man can no longer accompany him.
"Little guys...forward...forward...forward..."
At this time, Kondo Shusuke suddenly recalled what his father once said to him:
(Everyone cherishes life. It is human nature to "preserve oneself and work hard to survive" and there is no way to disobey it. However, there is often a moment when people can put life and death at risk without hesitation.)
Suddenly, Shusuke Kondo heard someone speaking to him.
He couldn't recognize who the other party was, and could only barely hear the other party asking him:
"Kondo Shusuke, when was your 'moment'?"
The old man lowered his head, smiled, and answered softly:
"Now... right now..."
After saying that, he slowly lowered his head...
Kondo Shusuke, the third generation head of the natural Rishin-ryu clan, died in battle.
