Haruo Abe, who has been living in Okochi City, has always felt that something is wrong in the past two days.

He had been running a tea shop in the city for nearly a decade, and it had been suspended by war for ten years. However, since the Kitabatake family negotiated peace with Oda Nobunaga last winter, this year has been relatively stable.

It's just that in recent days, the business of his tea shop has been getting better for some reason, and the tea shop, which originally had few customers a day, was full of people at this time. Haruo Abe was both happy and a little scared, because most of the visitors were samurai adults with swords, and no matter how bad they were, they were down-and-out ronins who traveled thousands of miles with swords.

"Da Da Da ......"

There was another sound of horses' hooves, and the person who came was a samurai in his forties, combing his head with a moon and a small sword no longer than a foot long pinned to his waist.

"It's Echizen Toda Segen, who also came. The two ronins on the left side of the tea shop glanced up, and one of them whispered.

The other person chuckled and said, "That Ming swordsman has defeated the three major swordsmen and the five masters of the Divine Palace in just half a month. Now that the sword is pointing at Ise Jingu, how can anyone sit still. Eikuraden, didn't you come from Echigo?"

When the two were talking in a low voice, the Toda Shigen suddenly shouted: "Shibasaki Toyomo!"

Not far from the two of them, a ronin-clad samurai suddenly sprang to his feet, swept to the side like a frightened hare.

"Last time I was in the dog, you took advantage of the chaos to escape, and there are no ninjas here who get in the way. Toda said as he jumped up from his horse. Although he was only five feet tall, this leap was two or three feet away.

It just stopped in front of the ronin samurai who had escaped.

Shibasaki Toyomo never thought that he would meet the killer star of Toda Shigen here, and seeing that he couldn't escape, he couldn't help but feel ruthless. The wide sleeves flew out a few cold rays, and the moment the cold mangs made a move, his whole body was also shortened, and he held a cross fork in each of his left and right hands, stabbing at Toda Shiyuan's lower three ways.

But Toda Shigen had obviously anticipated all his movements, and not only easily dodged his hidden weapon, but also flew up with a kick that hit Shibasaki Toyokumo in the chest.

Shibasaki Toyounton flew out like a ball.

"Toda Temple, be merciful!"

At this time, the one in the tea shop, known as Eikuraden, suddenly jumped up and held up Shibasaki Toyomo, who smashed into the tea shop. "Everyone is here to prevent that Ming swordsman from visiting the Divine Palace, that person is in the future, why should we mess with ourselves first?"

Shibasaki Toyomo snorted, his chest was disordered, and it took a while to ease his breath, and he said to Toda Shigen: "Toda Dian, I did something wrong about that incident, and I apologize to you here." However, just as Rong Cangdian said that the great enemy is at present, our grievances might as well be put aside for the time being, and after stopping that person, I will be killed or killed and left to you to dispose of!"

This is a righteous and awe-inspiring statement.

But where did Toda Shigen fall for him, and sneered: "Stop that person, I think you are all crazy! I'm afraid that you people can't even beat the Wind Sword Hero next to that person, and you still want to stop that person, kill yourself!"

This was said very politely, and Rong Cangdian couldn't help frowning. Shibasaki Toyomo hurriedly retorted: "Toda Palace, what you said is clearly to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. Although that Wind Sword Hero is powerful, can he be able to defeat the dozens of us here?"

Behind him, the man who had been chatting with Eikura Hall earlier smiled, "Shibasakiden, it's not just us who wants to stop that person. Three days ago, His Royal Highness Kitabatake's Kenneto had prepared a banquet at the Misekan to entertain many samurai ronin. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled at Toda Shigen again: "Toda Temple, do you know Tsutsui Mikawa?"

Toda Shigen was slightly stunned: "Isn't it the first onmyoji of Yamato Country, Tsutsui Saburo?"

"Yes, Tsutsui Hall has already arrived at the Misekan at the invitation of Kitabatake. There are also the Nine Ghost Inuyasha of the Nine Ghost Towns, the Sky Lantern Master of Ikekiya Mountain, and the Divine Giant of Data Mountain......"

As this person reported a name that even the countrymen were familiar with, the samurai ronin present in the teahouse all looked solemn, and some people laughed and said, "Now look at how strong the swordsman of the Ming Dynasty is!"

But to the man's disappointment, in addition to being a little shocked at first, Toda Shigen still had a mocking look on his face in the end.

Sure enough, I saw that Toda Shigen let out a mocking shriek: "These people are famous far and wide, but who knows what their strength is? Kobayakawa Yoshiro of Takayama Castle is not the first person to be known as a swordsman, and he is not defeated in one move. His Royal Highness of the Miyoshi family did not hesitate to send 800 troops, but in the end, he was completely defeated, and even his own head was cut off. ”

"Although that famous swordsman is young, judging by his swordsmanship, he is already a sword saint-like figure!

"Then why did you rush here from Echizen and do something here!" the man was very unhappy when he saw Toda Shigen say this, and he couldn't help but sarcastically.

Instead, Toda Shigen gave him a strange look: "What are you doing here?" He glanced at everyone and laughed: "My generation of samurai, wouldn't it be the greatest honor in life to meet a sword master! If I can, I am willing to be a lackey for his subordinates, and I just want to follow him left and right to observe the way of the sword!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

After a long time, I heard the man snort coldly: "Hmph! That Ming swordsman An dares to call him a sword saint, just a child, there is only one Kashima sword saint in this world!"

Toda Segen smiled and no longer spoke to him, but said to Eikuraden: "Let him go, this is the grudge between the two of us! Shibasaki Toyomo, if you still think you are a samurai, stand up for me!"

Seeing this, Shibasaki Toyomo knew that he could no longer hide. The duel between the samurai is not allowed to interfere with others.

"Toda Palace, let's go out to duel, don't disturb other people's business!" Shibasaki Toyomo said to Toda Shigen.

Toda snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the back.

Shibasaki Toyomo saw that Toda Segen really believed his words, and his heart was secretly happy, and immediately the people galloped towards the other side like sharp arrows, and then jumped on his horse and fled. The movement was not unfast, it was done in one go, and it seemed to be extremely skillful.

Let Rongcang Hall and that person be stunned!

And Toda Shigen also heard a strange noise, and when he turned back, Shibasaki Toyomo was already a few feet away from him. He couldn't help but use light skills to chase away. But this step backward is falling behind step by step, and after chasing hundreds of steps, only a trace of smoke and dust is flying.

When he returned to the tea shop and rode his horse, the samurai ronin, who had been drinking tea earlier, were all heading south. I couldn't help but stop a person, only to hear the man shout: "Many samurai such as the Kitabatake Gu Sect Swordsman have rushed to Gokashiyama Castle, and it is said that they have invited the Ming swordsmen to fight at dusk today. ”

When the man had finished speaking, he hurried toward the south of the city.

Toda Shigen glanced at the smoke and dust of Shibasaki Toyoun heading north, and couldn't help but shake his head, or go to Gokashiyama Castle to meet the Great Ming Sword Saint.

In the western suburbs of Gokashiyama Castle, a large number of ronin samurai gathered. One of the most striking is a shirtless fat giant who is more than half as tall as the average person. And this is not an exaggeration, what is even more exaggerated is that his body is full of fat and heaps of meat, and his chest is nearly eight feet wide.

The whole person is like a huge ball of meat.

It was the scorching heat of early autumn, and this man was holding a half-blooded horse leg to gnaw, blood and saliva seeping from the corners of his mouth, and forming a slimy thing with the hot sweat all over his body, flowing all over his body. Fortunately, there were eight servants beside him holding extra-large banana fans to fan the wind, otherwise I was afraid that the smell would be overwhelming.

Despite this, almost no one dared to approach it.

Although Toda Shigen came late, standing on the periphery of many samurai ronin, he could see this person from a distance, and he couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue: "How can there be such a monster in this world?" Of course he knew who this person was, and there was probably no one in the whole of Japan who had not heard of this person's name.

It is the giant god of Data Mountain, it is said that this person does not eat anything, so he eats so fat and huge, I don't know if it is true or false.

Toda Shigen just glanced at the giant god man, and then didn't look at it anymore, this person's fat body was really disgusting to look at. He looked at the wooden shed on the other side, where three big men were still sitting. Sitting on the main seat was a general wearing a large sleeve carcass.

"This is Kitabatake?" Toda Shigen was slightly surprised, he remembered that Kitabatake Gukyo seemed to be only over forty years old, how could he look premature and look much older. Just when I was puzzled, I heard a person next to me say: "This Kitabatake Gujiao is really miserable, the dignified Kitabatake family governor was forced to abdicate, and he could only live in seclusion in the Misekan, with nothing to do, and his hair was white after only half a year." ”

"I'm afraid you're thinking badly, but I heard that he still controls all aspects of the Kitabatake family, otherwise how could he invite these people. Look at it, the old man in the gray little straight clothes, the first onmyoji of Yamato Country, Tsutsui Mikawa, there are no hundreds of Yongle Qian people who are willing to come all the way to help?"

Listening to this person's words, Toda Shigen couldn't help but look at the Tsutsui Mikawa, I don't know if it was a coincidence, the Tsutsui Mikawa seemed to have also noticed Toda Shigen's gaze, and smiled faintly at him. But when that smile fell in Toda's eyes, he was shocked.

Tsutsui Mikawa's old face turned into a skeleton, and he opened his mouth and laughed.

Fortunately, in just a moment, the skeleton turned into the appearance of Tsutsui Mikawa again. Toda Shigen didn't dare to look at this person anymore, and looked to his right at a slightly obese old monk, the old monk was wearing a plain white monk's robe, and his bare head was unusually shiny.

I'm afraid it's a man on the sky lantern.

Wait, there's another person, and that person sits on the side of Kitabatake's teaching. It's just that it's as black as ink, and if you don't look closely, you won't be able to find this person at all.

Who is this man?

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw a samurai servant of the Kitabatake family hurrying over. He walked to the wooden shed, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, they are here......"

Although Toda Shigen didn't hear what the man said, everyone's eyes were looking west, and he couldn't help but look west. As the sun sets, clouds rise in the sky. And in the glow of the sky, a group of people is coming slowly.

"The God of Edgeworth!"

"The Holy of Kendo!"
