"Why would you hide there and peep?"

Ling Ze straightened the hat on his head, and the back hem of the black blindfold was slightly blown by the wind, which gave him an inexplicable temperament, and he took the initiative to ask Kawashang Yanzhai.

"I have something important to do to get to Kyoto, and I don't want to cause trouble on the way, so I want to avoid your conflict."

At this time, Kawagami Hikosai was preparing to go to Kyoto to support Miyabe Dingzang, and he was appreciated and promoted by Miyabe Dingzang.

After hearing that Miyabe Dingzo and Yoshida Minoru were going to make a big move in Kyoto, Kawagami Hikosai immediately prepared to go to Kyoto to dedicate his strength to the cause of "respecting the king".

Previously, he had been guarding Minoru Sanjo, one of the "Seven Fallen Secretaries" who was hiding in the Choshu Domain, because of the "August 18 Coup", so he was not able to follow Miyabe Dingzang back to Kyoto at the first time.

Ling Ze knew that Kawagami Hikosai still didn't catch up with the "Ikedaya Incident" in the end, and Miyabe Dingzo finally died in that Shinsengumi raid.

All Kawagami could do was to avenge Miyabe Dingzo by killing Sakuma Zozan, who was rumored to be the main messenger of the "Ikedaya Incident".

Sakuma Zoyama is one of the top thinkers of this era, and the "Three Masters of the Former Restoration" Takasugi Shinsaku, Yoshida Shoin, and Sakamoto Ryoma were all deeply influenced by him, and he was very respected, and his "Zoyama Academy" cultivated a large number of talents.

And since he killed Sakuma Zozan, he realized that he seemed to have really killed a great man who might change the times, and chose to seal the knife and no longer do assassination.

This guy is worthy of being the prototype character of Kenshin in Scarlet Village, not only in appearance, but also in some of their life experiences.

Ling Ze saw through Kawashang Yanzhai's mind and made sure that this "human beheading" was not lying, but he did not let this Kawashang Yanzhai who was in a hurry go directly.

"You're strong, let's have a fight."

It was not easy to meet a well-known swordsman on the side of the road, of course Ling Ze would not just let him go, after all, his task [swordsmanship still needs to be honed] was only one last competition.

"Competition?"

Kawagami Yanzhai looked at Ling Ze with some doubts, he didn't mean to despise Ling Ze, after all, this was a "Zatoi City" that could be wanted by the whole country, he was just puzzled why Ling Ze suddenly made this request.

"The purpose of my wandering is to find someone to try the sword, and you have the qualifications to let me try it."

Ling Ze's words made Kawagami Yanzhai stunned, and then he instantly became serious, "testing the sword world" This kind of thing is undoubtedly very sacred for a swordsman.

And it is actually a very happy thing that he can be recognized by the other party, after all, this shows that his strength is still very good in the eyes of the other party.

Of course, if it was an ordinary person who said this, Kawagami Hikosai might have already slashed it with a knife, so that the other party could get rid of the troubles of being tormented by mental illness as soon as possible.

However, Ling Ze's identity as "Zatoichi" and the powerful ability he showed just now made Kawagami Hikosai have the idea of recognizing his strength in his heart.

Therefore, when Ling Ze was able to recognize the strength of Kawagami Hikosai in turn, Kawagami Hikosai's heart was naturally very useful, which was probably the so-called "invisible business blowing each other".

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency, the swordsmanship below is a killing technique, and I'm not good at competing with others."

Although he was very useful to Ling Ze's words in his heart, Kawagami Hikosai still refused the request for the competition, what he said was not a prevarication, but a thorough truth.

In all the gym competitions, Kawagami Hikosai ended in a fiasco, because he didn't learn any systematic genre, and he was a real "I-ryu", which was extremely rare among the samurai at the end of the Bakugaku.

Most of the samurai at the end of the shogunate practiced a specific school of swordsmanship, after all, as long as they were a feudal warrior, it was still easy to enter the clan academy, even if they couldn't learn any big schools, it was still no problem to learn a small school of swordsmanship.

But Kawagami Hikosai is a complete "I flow", no one knows what school he uses, his swordsmanship is very peculiar, and what he is best at is the sword drawing technique of Iai.

At this point, his swordsmanship and the "Flying Sword Stream" are also very compatible.

"Joke, whose swordsmanship is not a killing technique? You just need to use your swordsmanship with confidence, you don't have to worry about my life and death, you just think we are fighting for life and death. ”

Of course, Ling Ze is not afraid, if it's a big deal, he will open the Emperor's Gu [Shura Incarnation Noble Chariot] to block it, he will definitely not be able to die anyway.

“......”

Kawagami Yanzhai narrowed his eyes, he stared at Ling Ze's face for two seconds, although he couldn't see Ling Ze's eyes, but from his expression, he could also tell that Ling Ze was serious.

"Then come, the sword has no eyes, and each according to his ability."

Hikosai Kawagami is a very straightforward person, as can be seen from his direct and honest confession from the beginning.

Therefore, after knowing that Ling Ze was serious about this, he agreed very neatly, as a famous person at the end of the shogunate, Kawagami Hikosai had inexplicable confidence in his "absolute undefeatability with real swords and guns".

"Reed Celebrity, Zatoichi."

Ling Ze is also very confident in himself, although he has not fought with the Scarlet Village Kenshin, who is the "enhanced version of Kawakami Hikosai", in pure swordsmanship.

But against the previous one who couldn't "fly to the sky" and had a gap in physical fitness with him, Ling Ze felt that he would definitely not be defeated again.

"I'm flowing, Hikosai on the river."

Kawagami Hikosai had a serious face, and he struck a very peculiar pose, his right leg stretched out to the ground, and his left leg bent into a squatting position, almost reaching the ground with his left knee.

This is the stunt of Kawagami Hikosai, his height is already short, and then with such a posture, it is simply impossible to guard against, he often draws his knife in such a low posture, and a knife can be cut from the opponent's lower abdomen to the face, which is an extremely fierce and brutal knife.

Looking at Ling Ze, who touched his waist with his intact left hand, Kawagami Hikosai's attention was completely focused on how to guard against Ling Ze's left-handed knife technique.

At this time, Ling Ze's right hand suddenly moved, and the scabbard of the cane knife in his right hand instantly bounced open, and the [Xue Lan] that flashed with cold light revealed his true face.

This made Kawagami Yanzhai suddenly surprised, he didn't expect Ling Ze to have such a hand, he was obviously confused by Ling Ze who was equipped with all the props before, and he thought that Ling Ze really wanted to use a left-handed knife.

Although he had seen the existence of the staff knife before, according to his thoughts, the knife on his waist was obviously Ling Ze's real weapon, and in the face of a strong enemy like him, Ling Ze should have no reason to continue to use that staff knife.
