Chapter 18: Kurokasa Arrives Kenshin's Doubts
"Kenshin, what was the light blue three-sun and moon-shaped attack you used when you fought with Zuonosuke the other day?" A few days later, in the Kamiya Dojo, Yahiko, who had finished practicing swordsmanship, pulled Kenshin and asked.
"Yes, Kenshin. In your legend, you've heard that there is a move to kill people in the air, so that should be it? Kamiya Xun on the side stepped forward and guessed.
"This move belongs to the Qi Heavenly Sword Flow's Qi Blade Slash, and it is the secret skill of my second master craftsman." Kenshin explained to the two of them as he washed his clothes.
"Second master? By the way, I haven't heard Kenshin talk about your master. And, the second master craftsman? Kenshin: You have more than one master? Kamiya Xun was surprised.
"yes, that's a long time ago. The master craftsman Hiko Kiyojuro and the second master craftsman Amada Xunxin, the two master craftsmen rescued me and tried their best to teach me swordsmanship, but I still left willfully......" Thinking of the past, Kenshin fell into memory......
At noon, Zuo Zhisuke decisively came to eat, and since he didn't make money by fighting, there was no money in Zuo Zhi's assistant. However, on this day, Kamiya smoked cooking, which can be said to be very unpalatable, and Zuo Nosuke almost didn't squirt out after taking a bite. Except for Kenshin, the others also looked pained, eating Kamiya's smoked dishes.
"It's so unpalatable, I might as well go to the Amada Tofu Shop and rub some food."
A few other people also said something about unpalatable, but Kenshin didn't say that it was unpalatable, and thought that the flavor was different every time he smoked it. Angry, Kamiya smoked a bunch of radish buckets and firewood smashed at Zuo Nosuke, and poor Kenshin was caught by Zuo Nosuke as a shield and was beaten all over the head.
At this time, the local police chief found Kenshin and asked him for help. It turns out that a killer named Kurosa has been on the rampage recently, and now he is targeting a well-known reformer, and the police commissioner thinks that it is still very possible that Kenshin will help protect this high-ranking official. After carefully inquiring about the matter, Kenshin decided to go to help in the evening, and Sanosuke said to go back as well, but until then......
"I'd better go to the Amada Tofu Shop to eat something first, just eat your dishes, little girl...... I don't think I have any strength at all. ”
Before Kamiya Xun got angry, Zuo Nosuke had already run away, and Kenshin once again innocently became Kamiya Xun's punching bag......
The other side.
"Ahh
Zuonosuke handed the bowl to Xunxin, and after helping Zuonosuke fill the meal, Xunxin smiled and looked at Zuonosuke who was gulping down the food.
"Zuo Nosuke, why did you come here today?"
"Ah...... Because I encountered a little something, I had to eat first before I went, and I had to stay up late tonight. ”
"Anyway, I feel like there's a very bad smell in the air today." Xunxin said with a frown.
"Bad breath?" Hearing Xunxin's words, Zuo Zhisuke also stopped his chopsticks and looked at Xunxin, "Uncle Xunxin, what do you mean?" ”
"Since this morning, I have felt a bloody murderous aura, and I feel that this momentum is not bad, I don't know what problems it will cause?" Xun Xin puts the new tofu on the counter.
"Uncle Xunxin, you ......"
Zuonosuke paused for a moment, then continued,
"Today, my friend Kenshin received a commission from the Metropolitan Police Department, saying that there is a Kurosa murder addiction, and he left a high-ranking official at twelve o'clock tonight in the Metropolitan Police Department, and Kenshin is going to protect that high-ranking official."
"Kurogasa...... Xun thought for a moment, "It's probably the killers sent by other high-level officials because of the struggle for power......
"Huh?" Sanosuke let out a surprised voice, "No, how could Kurosa be ......"
"Some people at the end of the Edo period could not change their personalities even in the Meiji period, after all, wandering in the bloody storm for a long time had made killing a common thing, and few people could give up killing people. And the government can't kill people easily because of the law, so this kind of killer coincides with the interests of the government, which is probably the origin of Kurogasa......"
Hearing Xunxin's words, Zuo Nosuke was also rarely silent. Shinshin walked into the room and took out a pair of gauntlets made of a special material that exposed half of his fingers and threw them to Sanosuke. "With this thing, don't underestimate this gauntlet, this thing can resist the sword, I guess Zuo Zhisuke you will definitely go back to help Kenshin, with this opponent with a sharp weapon can be much safer."
"Uncle Heart-Seeking......"
At night, there were many police patrols near the villa where the high-ranking officials lived, and the room where the high-ranking officials were also guarded by more than a dozen people. Kenshin and Sanosuke were among them, and because Kurosa had sent a letter of beheadment in advance that said that he would come to collect the heads of high-ranking officials at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the two were playing shogi to kill time......
"Kenshin, do you have an impression of this Kurogasa?" Zuonosuke asked.
"Probably, I've already had some speculation about Kurosa's identity." Kenshin moves a pawn.
"Really!" After hearing this, Sanosuke asked excitedly, but before Sanosuke could get Kenshin's answer, the screams of the patrol officer downstairs interrupted the conversation between the two. Everyone in the room took up their weapons and assumed a vigilant posture, and Kenshin and Sanosuke stood closest to the gate to avoid casualties from ordinary guards who had little combat power.
But neither Kenshin nor Sanosuke expected that Kurosa did not break in directly through the door, but rushed into the room through the window. Several guards standing at the window immediately reacted, raising their knives and slashing at Kurosa, of course, the black hata of the human slashing level is naturally not something that a few ordinary guards who have paid for money can hurt, and they cut down these guards in less than ten rounds.
The high-ranking officials standing behind the crowd saw the tragic death of the guards and were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled like chaff, and they hurriedly shouted that if they killed Kurokasa, they would give money to the official position or something like that, and these guards thought that Kurosa was an opponent who could be killed by numbers, and for the sake of reward and power, the dozen or so guards rushed towards Kurokasa desperately, even if Kenshin and Zanosuke were deaf to their shouts.
After Kurosa saw a lot of people coming up, he directly used the mystery of the Nikaido flat method, and his heart was one side. One side of the heart is the victory and defeat between the spirits, and the secret art of using sword energy to deter others so that others cannot struggle. It is not so much swordsmanship as hypnotism, and the effect depends entirely on the strength of the mental power of both parties. Although it can be broken as long as you concentrate, most of the people present are a group of sake bags and rice bags, and it is impossible to break one of Kurokasa's hearts, so they can only watch Kuroka walk over step by step with a knife.
"What kind of sorcery did you use?" Sanosuke wasn't able to completely break free from the control of the heart, but he was still able to speak and do simple activities.
Seeing that Zuo Nosuke could actually speak under the control of one side of the heart, Kurosa also became interested: "Oh, it seems that you are not an ant. So, should I cut off your head, or should I cut off one of your arms first? Kuroka slowly walked towards Sanosuke with a knife in his hand, intending to deal with this person who was a threat to him first.
"One of the two orders of the Flat Law Heart, there is also a name for the Cowering Technique." A voice came from behind Sanosuke, and when he heard it, Kurosa's eyes instantly widened. A red figure flew out from behind Zuo Nosuke, and the back-bladed knife was unsheathed, and Kuroka hurriedly faced the Hita knife towards the back-edged knife. The two knives collided, and the two fell to the ground. The hat on the head of the black hat was split in half and fell to the ground.
"Sure enough, it's you, Udo Bladeguard. Legend has it that at the end of the shogunate, there was a killer who could use his eyes to send out sword aura to scare his opponent, and that was you. Kenshin said, holding the back-edged sword.
"Hahahaha......" let out a mad laugh, and the Udo Blade Guard turned around: "I also heard that the legendary murderer of the two ancient flow swordsmanship of the Flying Heavenly Sword Flow and the Imperial Qi Heavenly Sword Flow, Scarlet Village, drew the sword. As soon as he finished speaking, the sword aura released from the eyes of the Udo Blade Guard, and he wanted to control the sword heart, but ......
Before the sword qi touched the sword heart, the sword qi beside the sword heart had already bounced off one side of the heart. "No, Bladeguard. The Heavenly Sword Flow that I have cultivated happens to be good at the use of sword qi, and your heart side is of no use to me at all. ”
Seeing that one side of his heart was completely useless to Kenshin, Udo Blade Guard was not only not afraid, but even more excited.
"Duel with Pull Sword, it feels like I'm back at the end of the shogun, but ......" Udo Blade Guard turned around and ran to the position of the high-ranking official,
"We're not done yet."
Although Kenshin shouted for high-ranking officials to concentrate on one side of happiness, the possibility of using spirit to break one side of happiness for high-ranking officials who have been immersed in power is too low. Fortunately, at this time, Zuo Nosuke concentrated, broke the control of one side of his heart with a loud shout, lifted the sculpture next to him, and smashed the knife of the Udo Blade Guard. Just when Zuonosuke was happy, the Udo Blade Guard stabbed the broken knife at Zuonosuke, and after realizing that he couldn't avoid the broken knife, Zuonosuke hurriedly turned his arm towards the knife.
"Stupid." The Udo Bladeguard said this, but what happened next made the Udo Blade Guard stunned. I saw that the broken knife was stabbed in Zuo Nosuke's gauntlet and did not penetrate it, as if it was stabbed on something solid and could not penetrate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zuonosuke smashed a punch into the face of the Udo Blade.
A straight punch is naturally not powerful, even if it is a blow thrown by a fighting master with all his strength. The Udo Blade Guard only took a few steps back to stabilize his body, but Kenshin, who was on the side, would not let go of this opportunity, and quickly swung his sword and jumped up and slashed at the Blade Guard while the Udo Blade Guard was unstable. The strength of the blade guard was not bad, and he barely swung his sword to block the blow.
With the impact of the collision of the knife, Kenshin jumped to the ceiling and kicked it hard, rushing down at an extremely high speed with the help of the reaction force.
"Flying Sword, Flowing Dragon Mallet."
The Bladeguard hurriedly moved his body, but he was still a step too slow, and the dragon mallet flashed into the Bladeguard's face, knocking out several teeth on the left side of the Bladeguard's face on the spot. After being attacked by Dragonhammer Flash, the blade guard was unable to maintain the heart side, and the other people also got rid of the heart side of the control. After escaping to the window, the Udo Blade guard turned to look at Kenshin:
"My next target is you, the Restoration of the Changzhou Sect, and the Scarlet Village Drawing Knife Zhai. I'll be in front of you again in a few days, and until then, replace the backblade in your hand......"
With that, the Udo Blade Guard fell from the window......
Kenshin chased to the window and found that he couldn't catch up with Udo Blade Guard, so he could only slowly walk towards Sanosuke. "Sanosuke, your hand is fine."
Sanosuke showed Kenshin's undamaged gauntlet, "Don't worry, it's okay." Fortunately, Uncle Xunxin from Amada Tofu Fang gave me this pair of hand guards, otherwise I would have been injured this time. ”
Zuo Nosuke originally thought that there was nothing wrong, but the expression of Kenshin on the other side suddenly became excited, "The owner of the Amada Tofu Workshop is named Xunxin...... Zuo Nosuke, is the owner of the Amada Tofu Shop called Amada Xunxin? ”
"Of course it is, hey, hey, Kenshin, why are you so excited." Seeing Kenshin's expression, Zuo Nosuke couldn't help but ask.
“…… Zuo Nosuke, one of my master craftsmen is named Amada Xunxin. Kenshin was very excited now, but he was also a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should go and meet with the master craftsman.
Here Zuo Zhisuke is directly stupid, I didn't expect that there is such a character in the place where he often rubs rice, and the legendary master craftsman who cut people and drew knives would actually open a tofu workshop, is this the so-called big hidden in the city?
(The reason for opening a store in Xunxin: Characters such as grandfathers who are generally hidden in the impression should open a small shop and squat in a city and wait for someone who is destined...... )
"Kenshin, you're not mistaken, are you? How can the owner of a tofu workshop be your master craftsman. ”
Kenshin's mood also calmed down: "Zuo Nosuke, tomorrow I'm going to visit the owner of the Amada Tofu Shop to confirm the identity of that person." ”
Zuo Nosuke naturally wants to accompany Kenshin with him, after all, he has to return the gauntlet to Xunxin......
