"Foot...... Didn't you go to sleep? The tall ronin asked with a stunned look on his face.

"yes." The ronin said as he removed the hat that covered his face and placed it on his chest.

Because of the dim light, the four ronins couldn't see the person's face clearly.

"I say......" the ronin said in a helpless tone, "where did you hear all these rumors about the 'executioner's sword'?" ”

This person was obviously asking the tall ronin who was talking about the story of "the executioner's sword".

The tall ronin was a little overwhelmed by such a question.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva and barely settling his mind, the tall ronin said:

"I heard it from other ronins who call the four seas home."

"These rumors you have heard are really full of errors and omissions......"

The young ronin let out a few helpless sighs.

"First of all, Ogata Yoshisei wasn't the only one involved in the assassination of Gennai Matsudaira."

"There were seven people involved in the assassination, including Ogata Itsei."

"It's just that Ogata is the only one who survived."

"Secondly - Ogata Itsei, not a one-man one-man ......"

"In addition to Sakakihara's sword, he also used other swordsmanship."

"But Ogata's head is worth 300 taels right now—that's right."

"Really...... Why did it come to the current version that is full of errors and omissions......"

The young ronin's words made the four ronins stunned when they heard it.

"Foot ......," the tall ronin wondered, "why do you know so well?" ”

"Listen to your tone, as if you were on the scene when Ogata Yoshisei assassinated Gennai Matsudaira......"

“…… I've actually heard it from other people. After a moment of silence, the young ronin said softly, "I think the version I heard is more accurate." ”

As soon as the young ronin's words fell, the fat ronin let out a sneer:

"It's been a long time...... It turns out that what you just said is also hearsay. ”

"Since it's also hearsay, don't look like you're swearing and act as if what you're saying is completely correct."

"That's it!" The thin ronin also echoed, "If you're not sure if what you're saying is correct, don't come to teach others that what they say is wrong!" ”

"Okay, okay......" The tall ronin smiled wryly, "If you have something to say, don't rush the tone of the two of you." ”

For the two sentences of the fat ronin and the thin ronin that came out in a very impulsive tone, the young ronin didn't seem to care.

Just said in a casual tone:

"Forget it, there's nothing to talk about on this topic, you guys can continue talking, I'll go back to sleep first."

With that, the young ronin put his hat back on his face and made no more noise.

The four ronins led by the fat ronin only regarded the young ronin's speech just now as a small episode.

No one cared.

After the young ronin fell asleep with his hat masked, the four ronins started chatting again.

The topic magically jumped from "the executioner's sword" to the topic that men love - women.

However—they hadn't been able to talk for long—the gates of the ancient temple were suddenly slammed ...... No, it should be said that it was suddenly kicked away!

The wind and snow poured down the kicked open gate into the ancient temple.

The four ronins looked at the door of the ancient temple that had been kicked open as they tightened their clothes due to the cold.

At the gate of the ancient temple, there were three samurai standing with their swords drawn and unsheathed.

Based on the dirty, tattered clothes on the three samurai, it is not difficult to see that all three of them are also ronins.

Before the fat ronin and the others could ask what these three people were here for, these three people rushed into the ancient temple without saying a word.

Rushed straight to the young ronin who was leaning against the wall in the corner of the ancient temple, asleep.

"Hey." The leader of the three ronins turned to the young ronin and asked, "Are you the 'Executioner'?" ”

As soon as this person's words fell, the faces of the four ronins led by the fat ronin instantly changed.

Especially the fat ronin and the thin ronin who sneered at the young ronin just now.

The faces of the two of them turned white.

"Executioner, executioner......" The fat ronin let out an unbelievable moan.

In response to the uninvited guest's menacing questioning, the young ronin only silently removed the hat covering his face, and then looked at the three people around him with a puzzled gaze, and asked:

“…… Who are you? ”

"The three of us are the 'Yoshimura brothers' who are unparalleled in the world, and we live on bounties. He has a total hair, is about 20 years old, and wears a light green feather weaving...... The conditions are exactly the same. It's kind of for us to find you, Ogata Ichitosai. ”

The other of the three who called themselves 'Brother Yoshimura' let out a cruel grin:

"For the sake of your head, our three brothers have spent nearly a month tracking you down! We've found you! Your head will be ours! ”

Looking at the three bounty hunters in front of him, the young ronin sighed lightly.

Subsequently—

Scold!

Laugh at!

The sound of a sharp blade unsheathed sounded.

This was followed by the sound of a sharp blade slicing through skin and muscles.

The unsheathed knife turned into a cold light, illuminating the ancient temple and slashing at the body of the nearest bounty hunter from the bottom up.

The blade slashed through the bounty hunter's crotch and then from the bottom up over his left shoulder.

"Big brother!" *2

The other two ronins let out a mournful cry in unison.

【Ding! Kill an enemy with Rachel

[Current personal level: LV21 (900/2500)]

[Selfless Second Knife Flow Level: 7 Stages (1100/5000)]

The young ronin shook the knife in his hand downward, shook off the blood attached to the blade, and said in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light:

"I've lined up for me, there are a lot of people who want to kill me 'Executioner'."

"You bastard......"

Before the other of the three brothers could finish the swearing, the young ronin ...... Or rather, he waved the knife in his hand.

Using Sakakiwara's one-knife dragon tail, he slashed the person's throat with one sword.

Then he adjusted the blade in his hand and pierced the heart of the last person with a bird thorn.

The two of them couldn't even react from beginning to end, and they died under Ogata's sword.

With 3 sharp knives, all 3 bounty hunters were killed.

Only a few seconds elapsed from the time the knife was drawn to the time it was retracted.

"Why are there always fools who can't help themselves to find ...... death?"

Ogata took out a piece of paper to wipe the blood off the knife and let out a look of helplessness.
