But this bamboo pole showed unimaginable grace and precision in his hands, just like a strand of hair falling from mid-air that could be cut into three pieces instead of four.
This is an absolute master of swordsmanship!
However, he was summoned in the form of the Right-hand God, which means that he had died long ago. It is indeed a pity that such a person has not been preserved in history in the form of a description in books.
Others such as the Emperor are also very brave, but without the greater visual impact and the blessing of swordsmanship, they are much less attractive to the warriors.
In short, the right side became more and more mysterious in the hearts of this group of people.
They naturally felt quite awkward as they doubted the attributes of the camp on the right while having to rely on the Shikigami on the right to defend the gate of hell.
The effective range of the Hell's Gate is about one hundred meters in radius. This distance is neither too big nor too small. Perhaps in order to expand the field of vision and facilitate observation, the trees nearby have been cut down. At a glance, except for some uneven slopes and rocks, everything can be basically seen clearly with the help of moonlight.
Demons have nowhere to hide.
If Nakolu were still alive, this would never have happened.
The time point when the right side appears is naturally half a day after everything ended. No matter whether it is the demons or the righteous side, it is impossible for them to continue to have enough energy after the crazy attack and perseverance in the previous hour and a half. A significant decline in physical strength is inevitable.
As the black cup fragments madly absorbed the breath of hell, there was no possibility for the demons to refresh in large numbers. All the powerful monsters that could come from the surrounding areas were either dead or injured. Only a few that were unwilling to retreat directly were left, watching nearby.
Apart from those monsters with brute force but no intelligence, more big monsters with their own consciousness are actually just like humans. They all have their own territories. Although they also desire strength, they also desire power as much. Once they come out in full force, their own territories will inevitably be taken advantage of by other big monsters, so the number of them coming is actually not that large.
Some powerful demons who were planning to occupy the Gate of Hell were preparing to start a strategic retreat.
All the minions have died and we haven't taken the city yet. Do you still want them to die? That's not how you play it!
If they fail to capture it this time, there will be next time. They don’t believe that these strong men of justice can stay here forever, not to mention that other reinforcements are on the way.
But there are also some people on the evil side who are so stubborn that even eight bulls cannot pull them back.
Yes, I'm talking about Genjuro Kibami.
Although this prostitute, gambler, and drug addict swordsman who originally worked hard on the prostitutes in Yoshiwara is in the evil camp, his behavior is exactly the same as his enemy, his junior brother. No matter whether they are good or evil, human or demon, anyone who stands in his way will be chopped to pieces by him. He emphasizes the principle of doing things his own way, so naturally it is impossible for him to advance or retreat with other powerful demons.
Even when facing a large number of righteous warriors who still had strength to spare, he already grasped the knife with both hands and wanted to charge forward, just to pursue the feeling of falling into the devil's way.
This makes the justice side somewhat embarrassed.
If it was a guy like Genan Shiranui who had completely surrendered to the demon god, they would have chopped him down without hesitation. However, for a samurai like Genjuro Kibami who still had a glimmer of hope for salvation, he would have hesitated a bit before allowing these strong men to kill him as soon as possible.
Of course, there is more respect for Hua Fengyuan and Zhong. Even for the sake of the old monk's face, they cannot be killed at will.
And just at this stalemate, an accident occurred.
A beam of green light streaked across the sky. If players saw it, they would usually treat it as a shooting star and make a wish, but this beam of light was obviously getting closer and closer, until it hit Yagyu Muneaki's partner, "Kyubei" squarely.
Ah, since this guy has one less thing than Jubei, let's call him Kyubei, it will be easier to distinguish him.
As the blue light entered Kyubei's right eye, a bluish-white color began to appear, and the word "Cang" could be vaguely seen in the pupil.
Kyubei, who was already in a state of personality transformation and quite exhausted after a long battle, seemed to have been injected with a new source of power. Lightning flashed all over his body, accompanied by a faint dragon roar.
There is thunder in the swing of the knife, and even the running speed is significantly improved with the blessing of thunder.
Naturally, the closest and most arrogant Kibami Genjuro became Kyubei's sword-testing puppet!
Kibami Genjuro swung his sword upwards, and the sword energy and fighting energy condensed together to form a cherry blossom flower card that was half the size of a person. The fighting energy flower card rotated at high speed and cut towards Kyubei!
This move has a very gorgeous name, it is called Sakura Flower Slash!
Faced with such a typical flying energy, Kyubei didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he slashed straight forward with lightning attributes and cut the Sakura flower card in half!
This scene happened to be captured by Youfang, who came out from the Hell Gate. At the same time, the tortoise shell in his arms began to tremble slightly.
The word "Cang" appeared in the center of the tortoise shell.
Chapter 710 Betrayal from teammates
For some reason, Yagyu Jubei, the well-known master of the dojo in Edo City, looked at Kyubei with lightning and thunder on his body, and felt inexplicably empty in his heart, and even a little bit of inexplicable jealousy.
But he was a cultivator after all, and he practiced the most mind-nourishing sword art. Yagyu Jubei quickly got rid of this inexplicable strange mood and sorted out his situation.
How can an elder have such feelings towards a younger person? It must be because I haven't practiced enough!
Yagyu Jubei decided to double his sword skills after returning to the dojo.
In fact, Yagyu Jubei should have such emotions, because if Kyubei was not brought here by Yagyu Muneaki, the "Canghunzhu" that contains part of the power of the Azure Dragon would definitely choose him as the host.
Even when it fell down just now, it was actually a situation of choosing one of two. There was actually no difference between choosing Jubei and Kyubei who had activated his inner personality. Both met the conditions for activating the Blue Soul Pearl. It was just that Kyubei was standing closer to the falling Blue Soul Pearl than Jubei at that time, so this situation occurred.
If Kyubei voluntarily abandons the Blue Soul Pearl, Jubei can actually be used.
It seems that Qinglong Kyubei has endless energy now. Judging from the previous battle experience, Kibami Genjuro didn't really fight with her. They were all blocked by Sanada Kojiro and others. But who can blame Kibami Genjuro who is the only one around who can fight...
With a look of shock and anger on his face, Kibami Genjuro was completely suppressed, and there was no need for other warriors to intervene.
There were bursts of thunder, and the frequency of the flashes was enough to cause dizziness to those sensitive to light, almost catching up with that of little Negi who was using the ritual weapon.
This strange change in Kyubei caused the Thunder Beast brothers, who had already begun to retreat, to stop involuntarily.
As a pure great demon, brother Feitian has a handsome human appearance. Just looking at his appearance, most people will exclaim that he is so handsome. The lustful Feitian often needs the service of female demons, but because of his bad mood, he will vent his anger and turn female demons into charcoal. This is a typical characteristic of pure-blooded demons. It is not correct to say that he is cruel. This is just a common behavior of pure-blooded monsters.
Fei Tian holds three Gintama fragments embedded in the center of his forehead.
Compared with the handsome ones, the younger brother Mantian was like a mole that had turned into a spirit with human hands and feet, but still looked like a mole. Mantian did not envy his brother's handsome human appearance, but he was very envious of his brother's thick black hair.
Because all that was left on his head were the pitiful three strands of hair above the two Gintama fragments that were also embedded in the center of his forehead.
They were not the three thick braids like Sanmao's, but three really thin braids that looked like they would fall off if you sneezed.
If it were Youfang, he would not choose to wear a wig to deceive himself, but would just pull it out and become completely bald. If this is his fate, Youfang would accept it.
Of course, if you want to shave his head now, he will be angry with you.
But Mantian was obviously unwilling to give up. Even though there were only three poor hairs, he still took care of and cleaned them carefully. He even followed some folk remedy and started looking for young girls with thick hair, intending to make them into hair growth agents.
Although Mantian's troubles are silly, this behavior has proved that there is actually no difference between him and his brother. Most pure-blooded demons are like this.
As a clan of thunder beasts, they are born with the ability to release thunder and lightning, and with the help of certain treasures, they can fly in the sky at will. It can be said that they have very powerful air supremacy. Generally speaking, once they make a move, both humans and demons will end up in disastrous defeat. However, what they never expected was that the human side also has very powerful spellcasters who also have air supremacy. Not only are their spells powerful, but their defensive capabilities are also quite outstanding, and they never stop creating large-scale magic barriers.
Of course, what is referred to here is not the NPC strongman on the side of justice, but the remains of the heroic spirit of the Youfang family.
Needless to say, Medea's air superiority. Not only does she have the ability to float in the air, but she also gains a large amount of magic power in disguise with the support of the breath of hell. She fires magic cannons without hesitation.
The second person who had air superiority was Alexander the Great. He drove an ox cart with his treasure "Divine Wheel" which made the Thunder Beast Brothers extremely envious, but they were obviously unable to defeat it. The roaring purple lightning was not on the same level as the lightning transformed by their magic power.
The third person who holds air supremacy is unexpectedly Lancelot.
This guy had previously rushed into a group of monsters without any defensive action and was bitten and reborn. He actually crawled out of the black mud holding a fighter wreckage that looked like it was about to be scrapped. However, this thing can actually carry him flying around. It's outrageous!
Now Mantian still feels a dull pain in his chest, and he vomited a lot of blood before because he was hit by the F100PW100 twin turbofan engine. It can be said that he was able to survive thanks to the powerful Gintama fragments.
Since he is the holder of the Gintama fragments, he is also the target of other demons to some extent. Only by ensuring his own strength can he avoid being attacked by the demons under his command.
After all, pure-blooded demons do not have the same rules as those in human society. The law of the jungle prevails. As long as the leading demon becomes weak, the powerful and young demons below will find ways to replace him.
The reason why the two brothers stopped because of Kyubei was that they felt a similar but obviously more advanced lightning power and instinctively wanted to take it for themselves. However, when Feitian saw that the holder of this power was a beautiful female human like Kyubei, his possessiveness became even stronger.
To be honest, he wanted Kyubei to give birth to a child for him.
The question of whether or not to be half-demon was obviously not something Feitian considered. Someone who possessed this level of lightning power couldn't be called a human, right?
Perhaps the occasion is not suitable for them to take action now, but they have obviously set their sights on Kyubei.
Danger, Yagyu Kyubei + Yagyu Muneaki, danger.
The person on the right felt relieved when he found out that it was the player's partner who had obtained the power of the four spirits. It is much easier to persuade players than to persuade NPCs. Perhaps he doesn't even need to say anything and Yagyu Muneaki will come over on his own.
Don’t underestimate players’ enthusiasm for completing story missions!
"Ok?"
Suddenly he discovered something and slowly moved closer to the right.
Because Youfang habitually concealed his breath and footsteps, the righteous warriors with their backs to him did not see him for the time being, and Yagami Genjuro did not care about anything other than fighting. It was in this state that Youfang saw someone's secret actions.
Youfang's eyes suddenly became sharp and he threw the knife from his sleeve abruptly. The moment he made the move, his aura was revealed, causing many people to instinctively turn their heads to look at Youfang, and at the same time, they also observed Youfang's behavior of throwing the knife.
The knife on the right was actually aimed at Kojiro Sanada, the captain of the Shinsengumi's Zero Squad!
Did he really show his true colors?!
This idea suddenly occurred to some powerful people who were still wary of the right side.
however……
Kojiro Sanada felt a chill in his waist, and then the pain spread from his waist to his whole body.
But almost at the same time, a groan of pain from another familiar man entered Kojiro Sanada's ears.
It turned out to be his subordinate Zi Jing!
The knife from the right side was deeply embedded in Zi Jing's right shoulder blade.
Zi Jing, who was pierced by the flying knife from the right, was holding a dagger stained with dark red blood in his left hand, and the dagger turned from white to red because it stabbed into Kojiro Sanada's waist!
Chapter 711: The Human Stick Reappears
Zi Jing, who was stabbed on the right, no longer had the kind face he usually had, but looked unusually ferocious.
Although as a member of the Shinsengumi, he was a thorn in the eyes of the Meiji Restorationists who wanted to overthrow the shogunate and establish a new order of that era, in fact, Shi Jing himself had no intention of maintaining the order of the shogunate.
The only reason why he chose to join the Shinsengumi was to wield a sword and kill others legally and reasonably.
Zi Jing is a born killer!
Because of this, he appears to be a subordinate of the strong man Kojiro Sanada in the justice camp, but in fact his core is extremely evil and a member of the evil camp who is much purer than many demons.
There is no mistake about the aura of hell. Not only was the purple mirror not weakened by natural resistance within the range of the Hell's Gate, but its own strength began to slowly increase.
After discovering this, Zi Jing's mind suddenly became active.
Zi Jing likes to become stronger very much, because by becoming stronger he can kill more people, simple and direct.
Killing people or demons, as long as the killed are living things, it essentially doesn't make much difference to Zi Jing.
However, the strengthening of the evil side by the Gate of Hell is not without cost. If one is not a demon but a human being, once one chooses to actively accept the strengthening of the breath of hell, there is a chance that one will fall into a deeper level of evil.
It is only possible for an ordinary warrior to fall into the evil path due to probability, let alone Zi Jing, who is already a devil and heretic deep in his heart.
So, he was possessed.
His originally cloudy black pupils turned gray, and his aura also underwent subtle changes, but they were not so obvious in the forest filled with miasma and the breath of hell.
The emotions that Zi Jing had hidden perfectly began to become uncontrollable in an instant. Beings who have fallen into the devil's way usually have desires that outweigh reason, and the body's instinctive actions are more important than actions after thinking.
At this moment, Zi Jing had murderous intentions towards his old-fashioned captain.
If the lives that Zi Jing likes to kill are classified into categories, then the more self-proclaimed righteous beings will bring greater pleasure to Zi Jing.
When I see a usually righteous person die under my knife with an unbelievable look on his face, that feeling is really more satisfying than doing X!!!
Zi Jing is not a samurai and does not attach importance to the rules of samurai. As long as the skill can kill people, no matter how dirty and despicable it is, it is an excellent skill to him.
Concealing his murderous intent, Zi Jing's behavior seemed no different from usual. As a subordinate of Kojiro Sanada, Kojiro never imagined that one day his beloved subordinate would suddenly become a demon without any warning and develop murderous intent towards him.
Then, there was the scene that just happened.
The poison-coated dagger pierced into Kojiro Sanada's waist without any hesitation, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
Kojiro Sanada instinctively wanted to fight back, but the wound on his waist suddenly felt numb, making him unable to move freely. Kojiro Sanada couldn't help but be shocked why Zi Jing would suddenly assassinate him, and what shocked him even more was that there was a strong poison on the knife!
At the same time, the right side of the assassination attempt was accidentally discovered and stabbed through. The tip of the knife had obviously emerged from the back of Zijing's shoulder blade.
Youfang didn't have the habit of coating his dagger with poison, nor did he activate his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, otherwise the Purple Mirror would have been forever away from him, if not at least an arm.
Zi Jing, who had succeeded in the assassination but also suffered considerable damage, immediately tore off all his disguises. After taking a quick glance and remembering the appearance of the person who had hurt him, he decisively covered his wound and rolled backwards. With many leaves and dust hanging on his body, Zi Jing chose to escape on the spot.
In Shi Jing's opinion, Kojiro Sanada is no different from a dead man. He has successfully broken free from the control of desire, and reason has prevailed again. Shi Jing, who has regained his rationality, is very clearly aware of the consequences of his actions. The number of strong people in this area now is far beyond his ability to contend with.
Zi Jing likes killing people and fighting with others, but he is extremely afraid of death.
Because only if you live long enough, you can kill more people...
The strong men who were originally attracted by the battle between Kyubei and Genjuro Kibami misunderstood because of the throw from the right side, but when they saw that the dagger from the right hit Shi Jing, Sanada Kojiro was half-kneeling on the ground because of his injury, and the completely unconcealed demonic aura on Shi Jing that was extremely similar to that of Genjuro Kibami, if they still did not realize what really happened, then it can only be said that all their years of experience were in vain.
"Brother!"
Kaori Sanada rushed towards Kojiro immediately, even using the Shunchen Step method of the "Tennen Rishin-ryu"!
This set of footwork is very similar to the teleportation technique commonly used by the warrior class of Mahora Academy. There is almost no major difference in the principle of footwork.
After just a few steps, Kaori Sanada, who was still some distance away, supported her brother.
