Saito sighed: "Really, why are there so many troubles?"
He stood up and wanted to walk towards Zuocun.
In any case, he is now the Shinsengumi and his position cannot change.
Besides - he had long wanted to use his sword to collide with Zuo Cun.
but--
"Captain Saito." Genzaburo Inoue stretched out a hand and stopped Saito.
He held his sword and looked at Zuocun in the distance.
"...let me do it."
Saito looked at Inoue's back and sighed slightly.
"Then come on."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of Harada Sanosuke who fainted.
"...I'm very grateful." Inoue took out his knife and walked towards Zuocun.
"——Ahem." Zuo Cun coughed out a mouthful of blood, maybe with something else, and looked at Inoue.
"It's you, Inoue." His vision was slightly blurred - but it would not affect the draw of the sword.
"...Samura." Genzaburo Inoue looked at Samura with sadness in his eyes.
Zuocun was seriously injured, with a penetrating wound on his left shoulder, two lacerations on his left hand, and the largest wound on his right hip bone.
"...I'm here to see you off!"
Zuo Cun was stunned for a moment, and then burst out into loud laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
After laughing, he wiped the blood from his face.
"Okay, send me off——!"
call out--
Zuo Cun jumped up.
Genzaburo Inoue's eyes moved upward, wanting to defend himself.
Ping——
Gensaburo Inoue could sense the clash of blades.
Zuo Cun has begun to feel weak.
Ping——Ping——
With the sword swung, two people slashed face to face within a very short distance.
Genzaburo Inoue is definitely not weak!
"Drink!" Inoue Genzaburo seized an opportunity, missed Samura's blade, and stepped forward directly.
Bang——
His shoulder hit Zuocun's chest, making a dull sound.
"Pfft——"
Zuocun spat out a mouthful of blood again.
The place where Inoue's shoulder hit happened to be the place where Harada Sanosuke hit him just now.
Inoue did not waste this hard-won opportunity. Although his right hand was subconsciously clamped by Zuomura, I still have my left hand——!
Inoue stretched out his left arm, grabbed Zuo Cun's hair, used his right leg to exert force, and directly - lifted Zuo Cun up!
"Uh--ah--!"
Inoue threw Samura on his shoulder!
But Zuo Cun's on-the-spot reaction was so fast that he didn't let go of his arm that should have let go due to loss of strength, which resulted in -
"Uh-huh!"
Click——
Genzaburo Inoue's right arm was directly pulled by Samura and dislocated.
Snapped--
Zuo Cun was thrown to the ground hard.
He didn't waste any time and climbed up directly.
Inoue grabbed his right shoulder and lifted it up with gritted teeth.
"Uh-ah!"
The dislocated arm was put back on by himself.
The two looked at each other.
Zheng——
Samura didn't give Inoue any more time to react and stabbed directly in Inoue's direction.
Inoue Genzaburo covered his arms and dodged to the side, but did not notice Samura who stabbed behind him.
Zuo Cun quickly turned around and jumped up.
He gritted his teeth.
Even if you can’t see clearly in front of you—you still have to fight!
"New Yulun——"
"One Wing!"
Genzaburo Inoue heard this sound and hurriedly wanted to change his direction.
"Tsurumi——!!!"
Zheng——
“Uhhhhhhh——!!!”
Genzaburo Inoue failed to resist this move.
But he turned his body slightly to avoid the fatal part.
A huge wound appeared on the right side of Genzaburo Inoue's back.
Samura did not let Genzaburo Inoue struggle——
Poof——
The crane's feather penetrated directly through Inoue's left arm.
Poof - poof -
Samura grabbed Inoue's right hand with his left hand and hit him with continuous knees.
"Puff-puff-"
Genzaburo Inoue was kicked aside by Samura.
His vision was blurred and he looked at Zuo Cun.
After all - am I still no match for you...
He closed his eyes and fainted.
Zuo Cun covered his chest, leaned against a tree, and breathed heavily.
The chest was definitely broken, but the broken ribs didn't penetrate the lungs.
Zuo Cun thought so and cast his eyes to his side.
"...Saito."
He called out the man's name.
"...Samura." Saito looked at this man covered in blood with a complicated expression, even on his face.
With a broken chest and several large wounds on his body, Saito felt that if he had suffered such injuries, he would probably be unable to move.
But Zuo Cun smiled.
"So the final opponent, uh - is you." He left the tree trunk, and the veins in his right hand holding He He were exposed.
"...Do you really want to fight?" Saito said bitterly, "You might die."
"...So...what?" Zuomura pushed his bangs to one side and looked at Saito with a smile, "As long as there are enemies, it is natural for samurai to continue fighting.
ah!"
He felt that... his energy had improved a bit, and the hand holding the knife was no longer as weak as when he was fighting with Inoue just now.
"Continue fighting...?" Saito sighed, slowly took out his Kijinmaru Kunishige, and his eyes regained their sharpness, "This is what you said, don't blame me if you die!"
Zuo Cun assumed the stance of Hyakori-ryu, with a crazy smile on his blood-stained face: "I've wanted to test your strength for a long time, Saito - come and fight!"
Buzz——
Zuo Cun only felt that Saito in front of him instantly became unreal.
It is different from Okita Souji's natural Rishin-ryu, which is fast, and it is also different from Samura Anno's Motonori-ryu, which is agile.
Saito Kazuo's "Invincible Style" and footwork are extremely weird.
Ping——
Saito's knife was caught off guard and struck from an angle that Samura could not have imagined.
But Zuocun’s current state is as good as ever!
He Hei slashed out, and Zuo Cun took Saito's sword forcefully.
"What?!" Saito's pupils narrowed.
Ping——Pah——!!!
Zuo Cun's Crane Hei slashed at Saito, but Saito passively parried.
Suddenly, Zuo Cun felt something was wrong.
Saito in front of him seemed to be just an afterimage.
"This is my swordsmanship."
Saito's voice came from behind Zuo Cun.
"Sword of—"
"invisible."
Zheng——
Zuo Cun only felt that Saito's blades were coming from all directions.
"Is this your swordsmanship - interesting - interesting!" Zuo Cun laughed crazily.
Ping ping ping ping ping——!!!
The speed with which Zuo Cun swung the crane hei had completely turned into an afterimage.
Poof——
A wound appeared on Zuocun's calf.
Poof——
A wound appeared on Zuo Cun's left arm.
Poof——
A wound appeared on Zuocun's forehead.
But even so.
Zuo Cun just managed to protect his vital parts in the gap.
"The terrible swordsmanship is really yours, Saito." Zuo Cun's eyes flashed brightly.
Saito gasped, with disbelief on his face: "You-how did you guard against it?"
Zuo Cun made a sword show, raising the corners of his mouth with a hint of madness: "It's just a swing of the sword."
He jumped up.
Saito became alert and pulled out his wakizashi from the scabbard.
