Chapter Seventy-Six: I Won't Lose
Maki Higashi's footsteps didn't stop at all.
It seems that the samurai standing with a spear in hand is not a tiger blocking the way, but a praying mantis that does not measure itself to block the car.
It was Uesugi Kiyoshi who gently grabbed her wrist and woke her up from an abnormal mental state.
"Don't be impatient, Maki."
Softly reassuring Miss Tobun, Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his head to look at Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
"Toshonomiya, the god of the Tokugawa shogunate, plus dragonfly cuts."
"Linker? Actor? ”
Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, we also pay attention to the news of various major shrines, places like shrines have always been a hotbed for ghosts and gods to descend, and the brilliance of Toshoku Divine Monarch has been declining day by day, and the thin faith cannot support his [existence] at all, so it makes sense for them to find other ways, such as cooperating with the Extreme Way and expanding their faith." ”
"Toshogu Shrine is a shrine with real skills, not a commercial attraction that cheats incense money, and Toshogu Shrine enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was enshrined as Toshoku Daisudai after his death and founded the Tokugawa Shogunate."
"Honda Tadakatsu is the first general under Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as the first fierce general of the Warring States, he has experienced countless battles in his life, and he has never been injured, and it is completely reasonable to appear as a linker to which Toshogu belongs."
"It seems... This time there was an unexpected surprise. ”
"Uesugi-kun, what do you say?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi sniffled, grinned, tapped his fingers on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said in a flash, "What do you say?" ”
"It's cut."
In the minds of the Japanese, Honda's status as a victory can be compared to the peerless Wenhou Lu Fengxian during the Three Kingdoms period of the Celestial Empire.
They are all god-of-war characters.
But no matter how famous you are, it's impossible to scare Uesugi Kiyoshi away with just one name.
There was not the slightest fear in his heart, and he was even a little excited.
Today's trip, so far, has been so smooth that he feels a little bored.
Honda Tadashikatsu's linker, shouldn't be too weak, right?
He thought for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"If this person is really unrivaled strong, then Dong Wenyu, who cooperated with Dongzhao Palace, would have already taken the initiative to attack, why bother to play the trick of killing people with a knife with the ghosts of the great rivers and mountains?"
"What kind of unparalleled warrior can be guarding the door here?"
"Sneaky, sacrificing the living, aiding and abetting the gods... Cut it off along with his minions, and it's okay, right? ”
Ryunosuke Akutagawa turned his cane, but did not object to Kiyoshi Uesugi's statement.
"That's right, if there are really ghosts and gods above the Celestial Guardian level, the true knowers of the association will definitely detect it in advance."
"The current Tosho Shenjun may not be strong enough to do that... But it should not be underestimated. ”
"Even if he's not Tosho Kami-kun, it's just Tokugawa Ieyasu... It's a tough opponent to deal with. ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded, he didn't underestimate the enemy, just his fingers clenched the hilt of the sword, and he didn't say anything more, but walked towards the door of the "Sacrifice Room".
The samurai with the dragonfly cut in his hand had already spotted the group, but he did not take the initiative to attack, but quietly guarded the door.
Uesugi Kiyoshi hadn't taken a few steps when his ears suddenly moved, and he looked sideways to the west.
Not only him, but almost everyone present felt a sudden abnormality.
The ground trembled as if it had been shaken, and the loud rumbling sound overpowered the thunder, and came from afar, and after a moment, it became close in front of me.
The quaint and precipitated sense of historical vicissitudes of the Japanese-style courtyard wall was blasted out of a gap without warning, sawdust and bricks flew together, and an indescribable object shot at a speed that was difficult for the eyes to catch, and accurately smashed into the ground more than ten meters in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.
The ground cracked inch by inch, like a meteorite hitting the earth.
The majesty of this thing flying over, and the sound of the wind brought up, squeezed the rain in the courtyard to a halt for a moment.
It took a lot of effort for Uesugi Kiyoshi to recognize that the indescribable object was a "person" whose limbs had been beaten into soft noodles, with broken muscles and bones, and no trace of life.
No, combined with the acute angles on his head, it would be more appropriate to call him a "ghost".
Then, a somewhat heroic and familiar laughter came from the crack in the wall, and the smoke and dust cleared, and Rin Kamiizumi walked out quickly with an unsheathed Notai knife on his shoulder.
She glanced lightly at the inhuman-shaped stone bear boy who was ravaged by her, pursed her lips, sighed a little disappointed, turned her eyes, saw Uesugi Kiyoshi, and then showed a somewhat subtle and demure smile that was completely different from her usual.
Although this smile did not match the situation, Uesugi Kiyoshi pulled the corners of his mouth and returned a somewhat reluctant smile.
This kind of pure power crushing, no matter how many times he watches it, will still give him an indescribable sense of shock, making him a little admired, as well as a faint envy.
For a warrior, strength is one of the most important qualities.
"Qing~ found you."
"These people can't help but fight at all, and they are not at the same level as the secret ritual that my father once faced, which is really disappointing."
She sighed, and in a somewhat coquettish tone, uttered the words of complaint.
Then, as soon as she inadvertently raised her eyes, she saw a samurai with a spear on his face, his face tense, as if he were facing a great enemy.
In an instant, Rin's eyes lit up.
It's like a hungry predator smelling its prey.
Without hesitation, he turned around, shook his wrist hard, and the scabbard fell to the ground, making a heavy sound, and the blade reflected the moonlight exposed in the dark clouds, emitting bursts of silver light, which was very beautiful.
Carrying the Notai knife, which is about the same height as a normal adult male, in his hand, Rin Kamiizumi's smile is even brighter.
"Kiyoshi is the best for me, this must be the pre-dinner dessert you prepared for me, right?"
"I know that gun, it's a dragonfly cut, my dad often says, his marksmanship is not as bad as his swordsmanship, but he doesn't have a good gun, give this as a gift to my dad, he will be happy~"
"Qing, give me this opponent, okay~"
The lovely junior sister has said such things, what else can Uesugi Kiyoshi do.
He smiled a little helplessly, and said softly: "He's not a dessert before the meal, he should be the linker of the famous Warring States general Honda Tadashikatsu, don't underestimate the enemy, Rin, this is at least the right dish." ”
"But... Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Honda Tadakatsu? ”
"Is Ueno a gun against the Mikawa Flying General?"
It's a rare matchup.
Although Rin Kamiizumi is usually heartless, he is a genuine Kamiizumi Nobutsuna Heroic Soul Linker.
Although she has only inherited one growing ability, she has also inherited a lot of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's talent for swords and guns.
For the samurai in ancient Japan, the ordinary taidao was only a weapon used in duels and assassinations, and when they actually went to battle, they used a spear or a wild sword.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is also good at spearmanship, and he has the reputation of a gun in Ueno Province, knowing each other and knowing his confidant, Kamiizumi Rin will not be a stranger to enemies who use guns.
There is also a tradition of naginata and spearmanship in the inner biography of the new Yin Stream.
Although Uesugi Kiyoshi is somewhat interested in this Honda Tadakatsu linker, what he wants to face more now is the legendary Oni King Sakuto.
With a faint glance at the samurai with the spear, Uesugi Kiyoshi retracted his gaze, and walked towards the "sacrifice room" with Higashimi Maki without squinting.
"Rin, don't lose."
There was not much concern in this exhortation.
Rin Kamiizumi is not just a linker, she is a cultivator who has practiced the New Yin Stream Sword Technique for nearly ten years and awakened the sword heart.
Even if Uesugi Kiyoshi is now greatly strengthened, he is not sure of winning head-on against this junior sister who has unshackled.
In that case, he has nothing to worry about.
"I won't lose~"
Rin Kamiizumi nodded energetically again and again, looking full of confidence.
However, the spear warrior snorted coldly, his expression was solemn, and the dragonfly in his hand shook and shook, like a cold dragon, and the shadow of the spear was divided into three, winding and pointing at the chest and ribs of Uesugi Kiyoshi.
He didn't want to put people in the sacrificial room.
Uesugi Qing's face did not change, but Ueizumi Rin's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
She stomped on her heel, and the green bricks under her feet instantly shattered into powder, and she herself rushed forward with the force of this recoil, and the next second, she came to the front of Dragonfly Cut.
The Notai sword, which was not much inferior to the spear, was lifted vigorously, and the weight was lifted one by one, forming a cross with the barrel of the dragonfly.
Jiaolong Fuwei and the momentum of the tiger, the spear was obviously suppressed by the wild sword.
The barrel theory is clearly not applicable to the measure of strength of the transcendent.
When a transcendent person has one ability that stands out, and the rest is a shortcoming, it's called a moment.
But if this outstanding ability is so good that the vast majority of people in this world can hardly match it.
That's called - invincible.
In Rin's somewhat relaxed expression, Dragonfly Cut was dominated by a tremendous force, pressing down on the front chest of the gunman at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The linker, who had inherited the soul of Honda's Tadakatsu, looked like a ghost, his body was constantly moving backwards, and his feet even made two distinct grooves in the stone tiles.
"I'm not going to lose!"
Rin Kamiizumi repeated what he had just said, and a somewhat mad smile appeared on his face.
