Chapter 582 The Most Beautiful Fireworks in the World
There are no more blooming cherry blossoms on the branches of the cherry tree in the courtyard, only the yellow leaves of Kazuki.
The morning wind blows, like a golden rain.
Mr. Okita raised his cheeks, took a deep breath, tasted the taste of this world that he was nostalgic for, then opened his eyes, and said to Zhang Heng, "I am under the tutelage of Mr. Kondo Shusuke, the third generation head of the natural Lixin flow. When he was nine years old, he got the dispensation, and then came to Kyoto with his brother Isamu Kondo, joined the Shinsengumi, and participated in the assassination of former director Kamo Serizawa, Hikojiro Uchiyama, and the subsequent Ikedaya operation. There are missions big and small, I don’t remember how many people I have killed, and my sword skills are getting better and better, we used to fight side by side in Gion six months ago, but if you still use the same If you look at me with eyes, I’m afraid I’m going to suffer in the future.”
Okita paused, "I had nothing to do during this period of illness, I could only think about it every day to relieve the pain, and during this period, what I thought about the most was the sword technique. I almost reviewed all the previous battles, and found and It took a long time to recuperate, thinking about where I could improve, so I’m not lying, I’m at my best mentally and physically.”
"It just so happens that I have been busy improving myself recently." Zhang Heng nodded and said, "It seems that we can prove to each other what we have gained during this period of time."
"Gladly obedient."
After finishing speaking, Souji Okita raised the wooden sword in his hand, and made a move.
The next moment, his whole temperament changed. Without the dead spirit before, his whole body was full of vitality and vitality again, which almost made people forget his serious illness. If Nakamura Hanjiro is like a tiger descending the mountain, and the current Okita Souji is like a bright moon hanging high by the river at night.
He threw his own shadow into the river, which seemed to be within reach, yet far away in the sky.
"Be careful, Mr. Abe." After Okita finished speaking, the wooden knife turned sideways again, and at the same time, his footsteps began to move, as light as a butterfly among flowers, and came to Zhang Heng's body almost in the blink of an eye. His pace was faster because of the wooden knife in his hand, and he chopped it down with one blow.
Zhang Heng, on the other hand, stood still and didn't move much, but his eyes never left Okita Souji's hands
The moment the wooden knife was struck down, he firmly caught the knife.
But at the next moment, Zhang Heng let out a small gasp, and Chongtian's wooden knife disappeared from his field of vision.
After a short while, the wooden knife reappeared and hit the back of his knife accurately.
The wooden knife in Zhang Heng's hand sank downward. Director Okita did not waste this rare opportunity, and stabbed Zhang Heng's open chest with a direct blow. When it came to him, Zhang Heng turned sideways at the critical moment and let the knife pass.
But this is just the beginning.
After Okita seized the opportunity, he attacked continuously, and the angle of each knife was more tricky than the next. The wind of the knife lifted the fallen leaves on the ground, like a gorgeous movement.
Zhang Hengneng could clearly feel that Okita was not talking big. Compared to that night in Gion, he had indeed improved a lot. If Hanjiro Nakamura was standing in front of him, he would most likely not be able to survive twenty moves. With his current physical condition, this is almost impossible.
——Should it be said that he is indeed a genius swordsman who was exempted from passing the license at the age of nineteen? Zhang Heng is very curious about how this man, the number one master of the Shinsengumi, who was hailed as the sword of the end of the Bakumatsu by later generations, died so young, and what kind of heights he can reach after that.
Unfortunately, this is an answer that no one is destined to know.
Fortunately, at the last moment of his life, there were still two people who were able to witness the last dance of this peerless master.
From the first moment when the two fought, Xiao Shanqian couldn't help holding her breath. For her who also practiced Dao of the Sword, there was nothing in this world that could be more eye-catching than the battle in front of her.
The two men who were probably the strongest swordsmen at the time joined hands to dedicate this battle, which was not earth-shattering in this small courtyard, but it brought her a soul-touching touch until a few years later, Xiao Shanqian also Become a master of one party, and recall this battle can still gain a lot from it.
After the first battle in Gion, Zhang Heng almost forgot how long he hadn't felt the pressure when fighting with others.
Is this the talent gap?
When he was still trying to challenge the various dojos in Kyoto and improve himself little by little, Souji Okita had already quietly caught up with him. No one knew that this big boy who was tortured by illness had another chance between life and death. What kind of comprehension has been learned, and now the two are standing on the same starting line again.
In this world, the happiest thing is to meet an opponent in chess and a confidant in wine.
Without any extra words, Zhang Heng and Director Okita can clearly feel the intentions conveyed by each other. This is a state of sympathy and mystery.
Souji Okita's eyes lit up, like stars in the sky, and then the corners of his mouth also raised together, revealing that long-lost innocent and hearty smile.
The opposite was Zhang Heng on the other side. The latter suddenly closed his eyes. The heart-mind practice formulas taught to him by Xiao Shanqian before, which he thought were useless, suddenly rushed to him at this moment. heart.
Zhang Heng naturally entered the state of sticking to the heart that Xiaoshan Mingxinliu said. Although he closed his eyes at this moment, his other four senses were unprecedentedly sharp.
The movement of the heart, the direction of the blade, unexpectedly defended like a mountain in Okita's brilliant sword technique like a galaxy.
Before she knew it, tears fell from Akane's eyes. To witness the most touching scene in the world, this is the common pursuit of beautiful things in the human heart. She could see that neither Zhang Heng nor Okita Souji Keep your hands back and give everything you have without reservation in this battle.
Especially Okita, he is fighting in a way of burning himself, just to burst out the sparks of the moment.
Zhang Heng has also forgotten that he was seeking a breakthrough, and devoted himself to the battle itself. He didn't even hear the system prompts that passed by his ears. He quickly thought about the next changes in his heart. As the battle was too fierce, the sweat on his body was evaporated and turned into white smoke. However, the next moment, the powerful aura in front of him suddenly disappeared without warning.
The sky and the earth returned to silence again, leaving only a vast expanse of white land, clean as if there was nothing.
However, Zhang Heng knew that there were already traces of that man's presence in this world.
He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Shanqian who had already burst into tears.
