"Zuo...mura?" Souji Okita looked at Zuomura sitting in the courtyard in disbelief.
Zuo Cun did not respond.
In this operation, he had to do the most.
Holding Tokugawa Iemo's head, Samura jumped up.
He wants to attract attention and ensure that no too many personnel are lost at the end of the operation.
Okita Souji hurriedly chased in the direction of Zuomura.
Shuchichi——!
The people who were chasing the Tenchu team suddenly saw a person flying over their heads and were stunned for a moment.
Then I heard Souji Okita's voice: "That man is carrying the general's head - go after him!"
"What?!" Several squad leaders were shocked.
"...Toudo, take your team members and continue to chase those thugs. Others - follow me!"
Okita Souji's expression was very scary.
She didn't understand why something like this happened today, but she knew that if the general's corpse could not be protected, then the entire Shinsengumi would be in disaster.
Toudo Heisuke led a group of team members to chase the Tenchu team, and the remaining five division captains-Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saitoichi, Inoue Gensaburo, Harada Sanosuke, five people were facing the one in the air
The figure chased after him.
"——I'm fast, I accelerated first, you guys hurry up and catch up!"
General Okita directly launched Shukuchi.
"Okay, you go first." Saitoichi agreed.
————
Annuo Zuocun escaped for a while and suddenly stopped at a place outside the city.
Souji Okita appeared behind him.
"Aren't you going to run away, Samura-Anno!" Souji Okita looked at the figure with his back to him with anger and incomprehension.
"No more running away." Zuo Cun smiled.
He placed Tokugawa Iemo's head on the ground: "You are faster than me. Even if I move first, you can still catch up. I can't escape."
"...Give me an explanation why you want to murder General Tokugawa Iemo." Souji Okita said angrily.
"He has become a stumbling block to the new era and must die." Zuo Cun's hand was already on He He's knife handle.
Okita Souji has already pulled out California Qingguang: "I will not let you go."
"...Let's fight." Zuomura did not hesitate, and Hehe took out his sheath, "You are the Shinsengumi's number one genius swordsman. Let me see your growth over the years!"
"Wu Ming - thrust!" Okita didn't hold back and used all his strength as soon as he came up.
Samura jumped up and avoided Okita's first thrust.
Buzz——
Okita disappeared on the spot.
Zuocun felt the hair on the left side of his body suddenly rise, and He He blocked it——
Ping——
"Hey--"
Pressing the back of Hehe's sword with his wrist, Zuomura flipped a circle in the air and hit Okita twice in a row.
"Well!"
A huge force came, and Okita Souji was shot down from the air to the ground by Zuomura.
Zuo Cun grabbed a branch and stepped on the trunk with both feet. Okita stood on the ground, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
In the first round, it was a small test of skill, and Zuo Cun took a slight advantage.
Buzz——
Shukuchi activated, and Souji Okita disappeared from the spot again.
Zuocun's secret passage was not good, so he used his legs to break away from the tree.
Zheng——
Where Zuocun originally stayed, the tree was cut in half.
He landed on the ground, and his legs were like springs. The moment they touched the ground, he jumped up.
Okita - in that direction!
Ping——
Crane feathers collided with California's clear light, creating air waves that rustled the surrounding leaves.
Two people were in mid-air, swinging their swords quickly——
呲——
On Zuocun's face, there was a tiny wound scratched by Okita's knife.
The two men swung their swords like afterimages, and they could only hear the swords clashing like a fierce wind and rain, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"Drink-ah!"
Samura slashed hard, forcing Souji Okita back a step.
His strength is slightly greater than Okita's.
"Well--"
Being forced to retreat, Okita Souji was unable to dodge, and a wound was scratched on his right arm by Samura's blade.
Bang——!!!
The two people fell to the ground, making a huge noise and sending smoke and dust everywhere.
Zuo Cun stood there, breathing heavily.
The blood oozing from the wound on his cheek had entered his mouth, with a slight salty smell.
at this time......
"One step - Yueyin."
Zuo Cun felt that the smoke and dust around him shook for a moment.
"Two steps - Infinite!"
His muscles tensed instantly, Zuo Cun stood He He in front of him and looked around nervously.
"Three steps - the ultimate sword!!!"
call--
The smoke and dust were directly blown away by the swordsmanship that transcended space, and a figure wearing a light green feathered cloth appeared in front of Zuo Cun.
"The three stages of ignorance——!!!!!!"
Zuocun gritted his teeth and turned slightly to the right.
Zheng——
As if a flash of light appears——
Phew——!
California Qingguang stabbed Zuo Cun in the left shoulder.
The displacement worked after all, Zuo Cun avoided the fatal blow.
Holding California Seiko's blade in his left hand, Samura smiled.
"Zo...mura?" Okita looked at Zuomura's face in disbelief.
"...You are tired, please take a rest."
With lightning speed, Samura hit the handle of Hehe's sword on the back of Okita Souji's head.
"Well--"
Okita Souji's body softened.
"Zuocun..."
Placing Okita Souji in his arms on the ground, Samura pulled out the California Kiyomitsu that was stuck on his shoulder and placed it next to Okita.
Just then, applause broke out.
"What a great showdown."
A person came from a distance.
"...Nagakura...Shinpachi." Zuo Cun looked at this rather unfamiliar figure.
Although he didn't know him, according to the information, Zuo Cun had seen this person's portrait and had a chance encounter with him.
Nagakura Shinpachi is the captain of the Shinsengumi second division. Among the Shinsengumi, it is said that his strength is no less than that of Okita Souji and Saito Ichi. He practices the same Shinto Mutsu that advocates strength as Serizawa Kamo and Arami Nishiki.
Thought flow.
"I can see that you don't want to kill Captain Okita."
He drew out his saber: "But please don't misunderstand me. I am not a sick person like Captain Okita, nor a wounded person like Captain Saito, nor am I like other captains, who are just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps."
"So you'd better not think about holding back on me."
"Otherwise - be careful if you really die here."
Nagakura Shinpachi looked directly at Zuomura with danger and blood in his eyes.
"How dare you say it..."
Zuo Cun was not angry, he just breathed heavily and smiled, because he knew that Nagakura Shinpachi was qualified to say this.
"You are one of the Shinsengumi captains that I am not very familiar with, but it is said that your strength is not inferior to that of Okita and Saito."
He held the crane hei, the blade of the knife and his arm in a straight line, without any thought of flinching or escaping.
"Let me see if your strength can really match them."
"... Then come and try it, wanted criminal, Yuuki Slayer... Zuomura Anno."
Nagakura Shinpachi's eyes narrowed.
Samura jumped up and slashed at Nagakura Shinpachi.
