When the two of them were holding their swords and preparing to attack, a trace of resentment poured into Araki Sousuke's body from Kikuichi Monomune's body.

As if he was being dragged by Sosuke Araki's violent momentum, or trying to seize the opportunity, Ken Funamura on the opposite side could no longer maintain that strange fencing-like posture......

He moved.

Ken Funamura rushed forward with the afterimage, and the thin scarlet sword in his hand stabbed at Sousuke Araki from the bottom up like lightning.

Like hitting Koshien with a bat, Sosuke Araki's eyes froze, he held back the pain in his arm, and violently swung out the July rain behind him......

It is the only and strongest sword skill that Sosuke Araki has mastered.

Beichen One Knife Flow, Cut Down VS Ju One Text Chop.

The July rain that fell from the top, the last to come, with an incomparably violent sound of breaking the air, slashed at the blade of the first stabbing Ju Yiwen Zezong.

After nearly two hundred years, these two sword skills collided again, bursting out with sparks that could illuminate the entire cabin.

"Zheng".

……

"Zheng."

Two hundred years ago, in the woods on a rainy night.

The long knives collided, and the thin and weak Ju Yi character was cut into two sections directly from the middle.

"Chief...... I'm defeated......"

The delicate and pale Okita Soji looked at the half-handled blade in his hand in a daze, and his eyes had already made an awareness of facing death.

"I've told you a long time ago that this kind of thin-bladed knife is not practical at all, and only a guy like you who pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship will use it......"

Yamanan Keisuke chuckled and threw the sword in his hand forward, plunging it into the ground.

"However, as I said before, if you can take my sword, you won...... My sword is yours. ”

"Overall ......"

Soji Okita looked at the man who had always been admired by him as his brother, but his eyes showed uncontrollable sadness.

In February 1865, the head of the Shinsengumi, Keisuke Yamanan, escaped and was arrested by Okita Soji in Omi Kusatsu.

In the same month, Keisuke Yamanan was cut under the guidance of Okita Soji.

Jie Wrong means staying with the person who is about to cut the abdomen, and at the same time as the person raises his knife and stabs him in the abdomen, he beheads him, so that the person who is about to cut the abdomen will die more quickly and avoid the pain and suffering.

Three years later, Osaka Castle.

"Ahem, ahem......"

The handsome young man who was lying on the couch and playing with the delicate remnants in his hand coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in a row, staining the quilt in front of him red.

"Okita-sama ......"

"Yamazaki...... I can't move like this...... This remnant knife, please help me return it to the Word Family, and maybe one day, I can meet the user who will make it shine again......"

"Yes......"

The man, named Yamazaki, bowed his head and took the stump blade.

When he looked up......

"If you don't move, can you fade away from the darkness, flowers and water."

On the sickbed, the 26-year-old genius swordsman at the end of the Bakugawa period muttered haiku and closed his eyes forever, ending his life as brilliant as fireworks.

"Buzz ......"

The half-handled chrysanthemum in Yamazaki's hand shook wildly, and let out a cry of resentment.

It knew that in this life, it would never meet such a sword-wielder again.

The vicissitudes of life, after all, things are not people.

In this case, you might as well use this as a sword and a human sheath!

……

Inside the cabin.

The July rain in Sosuke Araki's hand, with a violent force, slashed in the middle of Kikuichi Monomun.

Ken Funamura, who was holding the sword, was pulled by the long sword in his hand under this violent slash, and hit the bulkhead of the ship straight on.

The whole person immediately collapsed to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Click."

In Ken Funamura's hand, the scarlet Kikuichi character was weakly broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground.

"How...... Possible...... He ......"

Abeji, who had faced it head-on, showed an expression of disbelief.

In his eyes just now, Sousuke Araki just held the hilt of his sword and slashed it in the air, and the person holding the Kikuichi character Norizong, even flew out with a sword.

Kikuichi Monorimune, who is known as "never breaking", was actually slashed to the ground under the stunning sword of Sosuke Araki......

Isn't it indestructible?

As if he had discovered some alien, he stared at Sosuke Araki not far away.

"Abe-kun should not be surprised, it is said that the July rain can become invincible depending on the strength of the user's will. What's more, Mr. Araki is already a powerful 'illegal soul slayer'...... By the way, please be sure to keep this point confidential. ”

Little Bird Yu Makoto knew that he couldn't hide it, and sincerely pleaded to Abeji.

"Original...... So ......"

Hearing her words, combined with the previous ones, Abeji showed a confused expression......

Sosuke Araki is an "illegal soul killer"?

However, after knowing each other for three years and fighting twice, he is very sure that the other party obviously does not have any spiritual power.

No spiritual power...... Unlawful Soul Killers...... That strange power...... Scenes of the past and details come to mind.

Is this guy a half-demon who has inherited some kind of bloodline?

Only this reason can explain everything that happened to Sousuke Araki.

As if having figured out something, Abeji nodded slightly to the little bird Yumako.

“…… Rest assured...... It's death...... I will keep this secret ...... too."

Regarding the attitude of the half-demon, the Soul Slayer Association and the official have always been at odds.

The number of people with half-demon bloodlines is scarce, and the power of the unawakened bloodline is no different from ordinary people, and even many people do not know that their bloodline is different from ordinary people throughout their lives.

But any half-demon theoretically has a very low probability of atavism and the possibility of going crazy, like a time bomb ambushed in human society.

Therefore, compared with the Soul Erazer Association, which advocated the continuation of the principle of "peaceful coexistence" in the Heian period, the official has always adhered to the attitude of "containment and control, and it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go".

Sousuke Araki has always been reluctant to do anything with him, probably because he is afraid that his identity will be exposed and he will be killed.

Over the years, I have lost unjustly.

It is a blessing in life to have such an opponent.

Thinking of this, Abeji once again showed a high-spirited expression

In the center of the cabin, confirming that Ken Funamura had not moved, Sousuke Araki breathed a sigh of relief, covered the wound on his left arm, and inserted the Qiyuyu in his hand back into the scabbard.

He had just exerted too much force, and his entire wound was excessively torn, and the bright red soaked through his clothes again.

"Be careful, the people on deck should be waiting outside for us to get out......"

When the three of them stepped into the upper cabin, they were immediately stunned by the hell on earth in front of them.

The whole yacht was silent at the moment.

In the cabin, on the deck, and in the wheelhouse, it was as if a massacre had been experienced, and more than a dozen men who did not know their lives and deaths, lying in a pool of blood, and their lower bodies bursting.

"It's ...... The word "chrysanthemum" is ......"

The bloody scene of the mansion of one word came into Abeji's mind, and the scene in front of him gradually coincided.

"This ...... Is it an uneven distribution of spoils and cannibalism? Hey, you two must testify for me, I didn't do it, I only knocked four of them...... No, you were down there at the time, and you couldn't testify for me...... By the way, you guy, don't pretend to be dead, get up and ...... for me."

Sousuke Araki, who was so frightened by this scene that he was incoherent, grabbed a man lying on his stomach and shook the other party constantly.

The first person he knocked out was this man.

However, the other party had already lost his breath.

"Dead ...... He's dead...... It's over...... It's better to go directly to Yokohama to smuggle ...... Transferred to Somalia to join the pirates and spend the rest of his life ......"

"Mr. Araki, please calm down......"
