07. Scar blotting
"Are you the executioner pulling out the sword?" Zuo Zhisuke glanced at Bai Xiaotian contemptuously, "As long as you are more famous than him, I will choose you, who are you?" β
"Oh......" Bai Xiaotian was stunned, do you still want a name? Your uncle, you still pick and choose, right, I'm ...... No name...... Over here......
"It's a place to eat, it's not convenient." Jian Xin looked at Bai Xiaotian, who was stunned, since he has been exposed, let's take it himself, after speaking, he picked up the knife and stood up, "I don't have the money to compensate." Without looking at Sanosuke, he turned around and left.
"Hah...... It's great that I can finally fight the legendary executioner. Glancing at Bai Xiaotian, Zuo Zhisuke smiled, "If you want to fight me, come back after I defeat him, hahahaha, you have to line up to fight with my strongest thug." β
Since there is a lively look, there is nothing more pleasing to the eye in this period, and everyone has given way and gone out to grab a seat.
"This knife ......," Sanosuke put the large piece on the stone bridge, "it is an old antique from the Onin Rebellion, a horse chopping knife used to chop horses." The chopping knife unwrapped the cloth and stood on the ground, the dust floated, which showed the long storage time, "I didn't take care of it, it wasn't sharp at all, but ......" The long and large chopping knife was raised by Zuo Zhisuke with one hand, and he came to sweep a circle, "It may not work to kill people, but it's no problem to smash the opponent." β
"Carrying such a big thing just to smash people?" Bai Xiaotian pointed to the horse chopping knife on Zuo Zhisuke's shoulder and looked at Kaoru, but Kaoru's attention was focused on Kenshin, where was there time to pay attention to him.
"It's amazing...... Yahiko was impressed by the big, long sword.
"Huh?" Bai Xiaotian looked left and right but didn't look at Megumi, it is estimated that she is hiding, since she wants to hide, then there is no need for her to really look for it, and she smiled and looked at Zuo Zhisuke and slashed at Kenshin.
The chopper knife is large and heavy, and it is wielded vigorously, but the shortcomings are also obvious. Kenshin turned sideways and gave way to an oncoming sword.
Waving the big guy, Zuo no Suke Tong guΓ² shouted and cheered, one slash did not hit a sweep, well, swept a little high, Kenshin bowed his head and flashed, the top did not work below, Kenshin jumped a little bit, Kenshin was retreating, the bridge was an arch bridge, and Zuo Nosuke borrowed the power of the downhill slope to sweep again. Kenshin saw that Zuonosuke was addicted, and turned around and ran.
"Run for what? It's just the beginning, stop! Zuo Zhisuke was willing to give up, and chased after him with a powerful and heavy horse chopping knife.
"Kenshin ......" Kaoru blurted out worriedly when she saw Kenshin fleeing.
"What to worry about, it's that he doesn't want to play with him anymore." Bai Xiaotian pouted and looked at Kenshin's rather stylish parkour, stepping on the stone pier and jumping over a person carrying sandbags, not forgetting to press his hands on the back of a passer-by and flip an airturn, and then jump over the empty truck.
"Scarlet Village draws the sword!" Zuo Nosuke directly called out Kenshin's title ten years ago, which made Kenshin stop his steps and look back at Zuo Nosuke.
"Changshu sent a person of the Restoration. From the age of 14 to 19, he was active as an executioner for five years! The words fell.
Kenshin leaned sideways and then jumped lightly over the slashing sword that swept close to the ground, and directly took a step to reflexively approach Zuo Nosuke, and held Zuo Nosuke with his right hand.
"Hidden for almost ten years, no one knows your whereabouts. Now I know. Zuo Zhisuke broke away from Kenshin's embrace and stabbed Kenshin with his sword in both hands.
"Stupid!" Bai Xiaotian shook his head when he saw it, the horse chopping knife is large and heavy, this is used to stab people. The inertia is greater, no, the sword heart flashed lightly. Sanosuke couldn't put away his sword and rushed into the river, if it wasn't for Kenshin's hand grabbing his lower back, then he would have really fallen into the river.
Zuo Nosuke didn't show any gratitude, and after standing up, he turned around and swept with a knife, Kenshin flashed down, picked up the bamboo pole on the boat and inserted it into the middle of the river to make a pole vault, jumping directly to the opposite bank.
"Well, standing pole vault, promising!" Bai Xiaotian touched his chin and nodded appreciatively.
"Haha, good jump, we're not done yet." It seems that there is not only one person who appreciates Kenshin's pole vault, and even his opponent Zuo Nosuke has a lot of appreciation, "Get out of the way!" Shouldering the horse chopping knife, he rushed to the stone bridge before he finished, obviously unable to support the bridge and give full play to the role of the bridge.
When Zuonosuke ran to the bridge, Kenshin walked to the bridge and looked at him without dodging this time, "Put the knife away, we have no reason to fight." β
"What did you say?" Zuo Zhisuke was very angry, and the consequences were very severe, "Are you saying that I am not qualified to fight?" "I used the power of the horse chopping knife and slashed it with a knife.
Kenshin dodged calmly, and Zuonosuke didn't stop the momentum of the bridge and Kenshin's misalignment.
"I'm not going to fight you."
"Bastard!" Zuo Nosuke felt that he was looking down on him, and directly stabbed him.
Kenshin raised his foot and stepped on the sword.
"You and I have no reason to go to war at all."
The left plantation was angry from his heart, and his hands directly raised the horse chopping knife to throw the sword heart out.
"Light work?" Bai Xiaotian smiled as he watched Kenshin step on the stone pier with a backflip.
Everyone's eyes are good, Kenshin's backflip fell on the guardrail stone pier of the bridge and caused a lot of exclamation and applause, applause? Is this a show? It seems that I really came to see the show.
Kenshin looked at Takeda and the others in the distance, "How can this kind of person be worth selling yourself." β
Zuo Nosuke held the horse chopping knife for a moment, exhaling heavily, obviously wielding the big dick with great effort, and looked at Takeda and the others in the distance, who were the only ones in the crowd wearing white Western-style decorations that did not fit in with the surroundings.
"What's wrong? Fight, but fight, aren't you very capable? Come on, call me! Takeda was immediately unhappy when he saw that the two sides were boycotting, but he remembered Kenshin's rudeness before, "What are you doing there?" Knock him down! β
"It's noisy!" Zuo Zhisuke was annoyed, "Uncle, I can't fight before you point fingers, get out of the way!" β
Zuo Nosuke was already a little out of breath, but before he could get back his breath, he was annoyed by Takeda's words, and his anger only increased, and he swept Kenshin to the ground with a sweep of the sword.
Kenshin jumped, flashed the sweeping horse chopping knife and looked at the panting Sanosuke after landing on the ground.
"Forget it." The panting Zuo Nosuke leaned against the pier with a nonchalant expression, "If you continue to fight, you will have to enter the errand hall again, but I just came out of there." He patted his thigh and stood up, "Okay, okay, let's disperse, let's disperse, let's not fight, let's go, let's go." β
"Kenshin!" Kaoru was most nervous than Kenshin, who ran over immediately after seeing Kenshin get off the bridge, "Are you okay?" β
"Okay, okay, if you don't eat the hot pot, it's a waste, and now Hui should be looking for us." Bai Xiaotian looked at Zuo Zhisuke, who was leaving with a horse chopping knife on his back, and felt that this person was still quite interesting.
"You know how to eat!" Kaoru glared angrily at Bai Xiaotian, who interrupted the time to show affection.
"Let's go back." Kenshin looked at Bai Xiaotian and looked at Zuo Nosuke who was leaving, and also glanced at Zuo Nosuke who was leaving, "Don't waste it." β
ββ β
The next day, Bai Xiaotian and the five of them passed by a murder scene, and they recognized at a glance that some of the corpses on the ground were hooligans who had gone to the dojo to make trouble, and there were also many corpses of the police.
"Is it the fake knife that did it again?" Kaoru looked at the corpses of hooligans and policemen on the ground, the recent massacres were all done by the fake knife puller, and she looked at the real knife puller around her.
"The police also killed, and the hooligans also killed, who did he help?" Even Yahiko, a bear child, can't figure it out, this is the rhythm of chickens and dogs.
"There are too many people who have killed people, and there are not many people who can really turn back." Bai Xiaotian looked at Kenshin, he knew very well that this was the work of the blade guard, a tragic figure whose mind was twisted by killing and blood.
"Addiction to killing, this is the fate of the executioner......" Kenshin He was indeed addicted to killing people ten years ago, which is why there is a legend of the executioner pulling out the sword, it took him ten years to calm down, quit the addiction to killing, and looked at his reverse blade, "I have sworn not to kill again!" When he looked up and saw that the person in charge of the scene was an acquaintance, Saito Ichi, he instinctively said to everyone, "You better leave first." β
"Why 'you' and not us?" Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but smile when he saw Saito coming over, to be honest, he still liked him.
"You'd better go back first." Kenshin glanced at Bai Xiaotian with a little annoyance.
"It's going to be okay, is it?" Kaoru looked at Kenshin with concern.
"It'll be fine, I'll be back soon." Kenshin turned his head and looked at Kaoru with a smile.
"Oh, let's go back first." Kaoru took Yahiko's hand.
"Xiaotian ......" Hui instinctively focuses on Bai Xiaotian.
"Let's go back first, it's a matter between men." Bai Xiaotian looked at Hui with a smile, Japan has always been dominated by men, and Bai Xiaotian smiled and said to Hui that it would not cause her disgust.
Hui nodded at Bai Xiaotian and followed Kaoru to leave first.
"Those guys who attacked the dojo." Saito just glanced at Bai Xiaotian and stared at Kenshin, "You should have cleaned them up in the first place." Saito glanced back at the policeman's body a little annoyed, "Those policemen will be spared!" Glancing at Kenshin's ridiculous back-edged sword, "Your back-edged sword...... Really...... Effective! The last two words, Saito Ichi bit out almost word by word, which shows his anger.
Kenshin looked at the back of Saito, who had finished venting, and turned to leave, and when he was about to turn away, he saw a girl running to the corpse of a policeman, and then there was a sharp and harsh sound that made everyone's hearts twist.
Bai Xiaotian glanced at the girl who was stunned, this sharp voice seemed to be brewing a painful cry behind, and it was also this sharp sound that reminded Jian Xin of painful memories, and looked at Jian Xin who was stunned......
14 years ago, Kenshin was arranged undercover by the Restorationists to be on the side of the shogunate, for the new era, he killed a lot of Restorationists, and the memory he didn't want to look back at was to kill an unmarried groom, and a wound on his face was suffered at that time, for the sake of the new era, even the young people who shouldered the future were killed, which added a scar to his face, and his imprints were also born from some.
The scene in front of him made Kenshin overlap the scene at that time, like, it was so similar, it looked like a fiancΓ©e lost her fiancΓ©, and his beloved lost ......
Gloomy Kenshin turned around, he needed a quiet place.
Bai Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and followed. (To be continued......)
