Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

The earth side felt even more puzzled.

Is the surname "Naito" uncommon? !Why do those eyes in front of him seem to be beating with eager little flames?What bloomed out of that flame was not killing intent, but emotions that were more incomprehensible than pure killing intent—excitement, anxiety, restlessness, embarrassment, panic, worry, fear, sadness...

Just as Hijikata opened his eyes slightly, trying to recognize the many deep meanings in the eyes of the young man who claimed his surname was "Jiujo", the Samo soldier who fell at their feet suddenly groaned "Ugh!", as if After struggling to squirm a few times.

That man is not dead!

On the one hand, an annoyed thought like "Oh, it's better to be a little lighter!" appeared in the mind of the earthworker, and on the other hand, he subconsciously excused himself-"Because this guy in front of him came too fast, in order to deal with the new situation. The opponent had to retreat temporarily into the woods, and it was too late to make up for this guy on the ground!".

But no matter what, the low groan of the seriously injured man on the ground seemed to break through the subtle fog in the forest between the two opponents who were confronting each other with knives.The next moment, the young man who covered half of his face with a scarf lowered his eyebrows, and the overly bright flame mixed with confusion and hesitation was swept away in his eyes.

With a soft drink, he actually took the first step forward and launched an attack towards the earth side!

The jagged trees in the woods were originally an obstacle to a smooth knife swing, and now they have to be added to the bad weather, torrential rain, and mud underfoot.All this made it very difficult for the earthworker to step on his feet steadily, and the center of gravity was always slightly shaken due to the slippage of his feet.Although he has experienced so many battles, the difficulty of fighting this young man named "Jiu Tiao" today is the highest in every aspect.

Because the young man's way of fighting seems to be different from the Satsuma people he met.

Those people, some timid, some terrified, some uneasy, some brave, whether they were really confident or just bluffing, they all rushed forward with shouts, holding the knife and wanted to cut down, thinking that In this way, he will be able to win in front of the Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi.

However, that is not enough.

...Compared to the young man surnamed "Jiu Tiao" in front of him, he is not enough to see at all.

This "Nine Articles" has extremely neat swordsmanship and martial arts, even compared with those Satsuma soldiers who came from the old gentry, his skills are not inferior in the slightest.It can even be said that his moves are more practical and sharper obviously because he has experienced many actual battles.

There is no pretense at all, this "Nine Tiao" set up the saber, and briefly put on the posture of "Blue Eyes". Before the opponent could react, he swung the saber to the left, stepped forward, and moved his arms forward. Sent, the tip of the knife immediately stretched forward, and stabbed directly at Tu Fang's chest.

Earthwork: ...? !

This sword skill also gave him a sense of familiarity.He was a little slow to make a knife because of thinking, and made a wrong shot.But fortunately, the opponent didn't seem to grasp this fleeting advantage in time; with a bang, Earth's blade still turned sideways to block the opponent's stabbing point.

At that moment, he finally thought that this thrusting technique was very similar to a person he had seen before.

... The boss's stabbing technique, the three-stage thrusting technique starting with "Ping Qingyan", isn't the technique used almost like this! !

Although I can only use dry language when describing it, it seems that there is nothing unusual in terms of words alone, but after actually experiencing that kind of thrusting technique, I can realize that when it is the target of that thrusting technique, the opponent The light of the knife flashed a murderous cold air, and it was as swift as the wind, as if it was about to go straight to his heart in a blink of an eye; that kind of silent deterrent power was enough to make any opponent with a weak mind fear or even retreat——

Of course, this "Nine Articles" did not use the excellent sword technique of three-stage thrusts like the Souji.But only this paragraph is enough.

Tu Fang came across again, blocking the tip of the "Nine Strips".Of course, he still has a lot of experience in dealing with this thrusting technique. When he was trying to cooperate with the chief executive, he was forced to retreat more than once under this thrusting technique, and then he was mercilessly ridiculed by the chief executive, making himself angry. about to explode-

When this "Nine Articles" drew its sword, it didn't have the menacing vigor of the chief commander's sword.If you really want to say it, it's better to say that the inexplicable lightness carried by his sword is very strange.

Under such bad weather, gloomy sky, thick fog, pouring rain, muddy land... Under such harsh conditions, the other party can still bring out a kind of light inspiration when swinging the knife. It can show that the opponent's swordsmanship attainments have reached a certain level. This feeling of agility and lightness is his habit and advantage when swinging a knife, and it is also the aura created by his swordsmanship.

The earth side felt more and more that this opponent was too strange.Also too tricky.

Of course, in the eyes of other luxury ashrams, the "natural flow of mind" in their test hall is also a kind of wild way of country people.Even Tufang himself, in actual combat, used auxiliary tricks such as "raise the earth to distract the eyes", and used them without any hesitation, without any psychological barriers.

However, when the Satsuma army was usually the old gentry, there appeared such a person who did not look very orthodox in swordsmanship, and judging from his attitude and fighting style, he was very grand, and did not show any reason at all. The psychological pressure of being excluded because of his unorthodox background in swordsmanship is really... alarming.

The rain seems to be a little less.Hijikata quickly made up for the momentary delay caused by suddenly seeing the opponent's thrusting technique, and gradually gained a little advantage.

This "Jiu Tiao" seems to be a rather thin young man.He was not short, but the arms protruding from his sleeves to hold the knife were very slender, and the width of his wrists was much thinner than that of Tufang.Every time the blades of the two sides met and exerted force, Tufang could always notice that the opponent's wrist was tense, and the skin between the wrists had lost its blood color, and there were traces of blue blood vessels underneath.This almost caused the earthworker to have an illusion, as if the opponent was about to break his arm in this kind of blade-to-blade wrestling before he chopped down the opponent with a single knife.

But this kind of thinking is not enough to make the earth side feel a little compassion for the other party.

The other party was from the Satsuma army, and just by looking at the clothes that were wet enough to cling to his body, but the fabric was still very good, one could guess that the other party might not have an ordinary status in the Satsuma army.What's more, the boots he was wearing looked better than ordinary Satsuma soldiers. Maybe this man was a young master of the old gentry, and his family might have treated the shogunate, the general and the new soldiers in the war ten years ago. Sengumi ruthlessly exterminated——

Thinking about it this way, I felt that it wouldn't matter if those thin arms were broken like this.No matter how noble or wealthy they were in the past, everyone is the same when they go to the battlefield; there is no sympathy to talk about.

Although there are trees in the woodland, the terrain is more open after all.Tu Fang took a step forward mercilessly, chopping down with the knife in his hand.

dang dang dang-

The earthworker slashed four times in a row, and although this guy named "Jiu Tiao" was struggling, he managed to catch all of them in a dangerous manner in the end!

Although the bad weather delayed the earth's offensive and prevented him from exerting his full strength; the impact of the weather was imposed on both of them at the same time.This proves that under such heavy rain and poor terrain conditions, this young man surnamed "Jiu Tiao" also showed extraordinary skills.

Of course, Hijikata is not arrogant enough to think that after ten years, he, who has grown older and has been out of battle for a long time, can still maintain the same dazzling skills as the title of "Vice Chief of the Shinsengumi" back then.In fact, even back then, his swordsmanship should be ranked behind Okita, Saito, Shinpachi and others in the Shinsengumi; Several people only focus on the improvement of swordsmanship.However, against the young guy in front of him, he still has the confidence to win.But the current situation is that he has not been able to finish the opponent on the opposite side without drawing a knife like the process that has been repeated many times since the beginning of the war.

Hijikata didn't notice that his brows furrowed deeply as the situation progressed.

There is such a person in Samo, but he has never heard of the other party's reputation beforehand—he still hasn't forgotten that before the attack started today, the captain of their team walked up and down in front of their team, admonishing them loudly. The words reminded them of the appearance characteristics of several Satsuma masters who had gained some reputation in swordsmanship in the days of battle; what "square face, dark complexion", what "scar on the face", what "red face, Rosacea" and the like are all the painful experiences passed down to them by word of mouth from those former comrades who retreated.There is no mention of a thin young man of medium build, fair skin, and deep eyes.

After Hijikata joined the army under a pseudonym, in order to keep a low profile, he did not show his former ability and skills at all.Although his brigade has the nickname of "Xinxuan Brigade", in addition to some original Aizu feudal vassals, some members of his brigade are actually from Satsuma.From the very beginning, these people had no intention of following Saigo and those rebels. Most of them supported Okubo Toshimichi's political views and wanted to be loyal to the current court to the end.With such a complicated composition of personnel, the earth side is more cautious in its usual actions.

At the beginning, Ryunosuke Ibuki, who encouraged him to leave the mountain, Hijikata told him to go home again.It's not that he looks down on Ibuki, it's that the boy's skills are too ordinary.It was because of Okita's last sympathy that he didn't kill that kid when he escaped back then, so that kid escaped back to Edo with his life in embarrassment.

Now Hijikata heard that Ibuki married a wandering girl he met in Shimabara back then, and felt that he had a stable family, so he came out again and again to inquire about the news of the Shinsengumi companions back then, caring about everyone's well-being The whereabouts are already not easy.

War is not a child's play. Hijikata has nothing to worry about. He can risk his life to fight to clear the bad name that the Shinsengumi was forcibly given by the samurai and others; but Ibuki himself does not have enough skills to ensure immortality. His wife was waiting for him to go back—at that time, Hijikata thought of those companions who were forced to separate from their wives and children when the Shinsengumi left Kyoto, but never returned.

This time, he showed the same toughness as before, forcing Ibuki to give up his hope of joining the "New Selection Brigade" with him, and let Ibuki go home.

The author has something to say:

February 8:

Since everyone agrees to let go of myself, then I will really lose my mind...?

I reworked the outline today, and now I feel ashamed [.

Let everyone see that I don't use oars, but rely on the strength of waves! [you are enough

In this chapter, I briefly explained why the deputy chief joined the new brigade.

In fact, it was also written in the previous episode that it was Ryunosuke Ibuki (Serizawa Kamo's small surname), the heroine in one of Hakuouki's original novels, Liminglu, who came to him.

Ibuki was also chased after Serizawa Kamo was purged, because he was on Uncle Kamo's side

But in the end, after the chief executive caught up with him, he didn't kill him, he just knocked him off the bridge and into the river.

In addition, Ibuki and Younv Xiaoling are also original CPs.

Next update: tomorrow at midnight.
