Chapter 320 Talent Value Skyrocketed! Super Evolution [Super Speed +4]! [Leopard 10,000 More]
At this critical moment, Oishi Kujiro's rich combat experience played a big role.
Perhaps his body realized on its own that it was not enough to just use the sword to block.
So, at the same time that Oishi Kujiro raised his sword to defend, his feet moved on their own initiative, his right foot took a half step forward to the left, and his left foot quickly followed.
This small displacement caused a major change in the battle situation.
Snap - the bamboo sword, which was unable to block due to the short preparation time, barely touched Qingdeng's sword body, but did not significantly deflect Qingdeng's sword path.
Qingdeng's sword body tilted, and then continued to attack Oishi Kujiro's shoulder with the remaining force.
But in the end, Qingdeng's sword tip only brushed Oishi Kujiro's shoulder diagonally, and although he felt the hand that was cut, it did not cause a big kill.
Even in a fight where both sides use real weapons to fight, this kind of injury is just a minor skin injury, at most it is just a little skin and flesh cut off, and if you have a strong will and grit your teeth, you can get through it.
According to the convention of the Edo period, this level of injury is certainly not enough to end the contest, so the confrontation between Qing Deng and Oishi Kujiro continues.
The reason why Oishi Kujiro was able to escape danger from Qing Deng's sword is that he instinctively stepped back and dodged.
If he hadn't made this small displacement, if he had stood there stupidly, then Qing Deng's sword just now would undoubtedly have hit Oishi Kujiro's shoulder hard.
In this way, Qing Deng can now salute Oishi Kujiro and leave the stage as a victor.
Qing Deng was quite confident in his previous strike, and he struck the sword with the mentality of "this strike should be able to end Oishi Kujiro".
Unexpectedly, Oishi Kujiro could survive in a desperate situation. Seeing this, Qing Deng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and silently adjusted his inner assessment of Oishi Kujiro's strength again.
——How did the Shimizu clan hide such a master until now? Could it be that this Oishi Kujiro is a newcomer that the Shimizu clan has recently recruited?
As the largest Yakuza group in Edo, the Shimizu clan has always been the focus of observation of the "Three Returns" of the Bugyosho, the Eight States Directors and the Fire Thieves Kai.
Every senior cadre in the Shimizu clan, as well as dangerous members who need more attention, are all recorded in the government's blacklist.
As the rule of the shogunate and local feudal states gradually declined, more and more middle and lower-level samurai became ronin or lived a hard life that was almost the same as that of poor farmers due to family bankruptcy. These "taro samurai" who had a miserable life and often had a good cultural and martial arts education became the best "source of soldiers" for the Yakuza organization.
Take the Shimizu clan as an example. The number of martial arts masters recruited and kept by the Shimizu clan is so large that the fire thieves who have always been known for their "high combat power" find it shocking.
For example: Morishusuke, who once destroyed five casinos and gang places of a certain Yakuza organization that opposed the Shimizu clan overnight.
Another example: Tanaka Katsunoshin, who is bloodthirsty and once set a record of killing 21 people in a Yakuza fight, and who loves to chop people's heads into pieces.
These names... not to mention in the government and the Yakuza world, even in the market, they are well-known and terrifying names.
With the blessing of his natural "photographic memory", he firmly remembered the names of all the dangerous elements in the Qingdeng group.
But he didn't remember that there was a person like Oishi Kuwajiro in the Shimizu clan.
At almost the same time when Qing Deng was thinking about this, at the edge of the dojo, Kitahara Kounosuke said "Ha" and turned his relaxed mood into a sound, thinking to himself: I'm really scared.
Just now, when Qing Deng's bamboo sword was about to hit Oishi Kuwajiro's shoulder, Kitahara Kounosuke's heart was directly raised to his throat.
After seeing Oishi Kuwajiro escape danger with a close dodge, he finally let out the anger that was pent up in his chest.
——Very good! Sending Oishi Kuwajiro to fight against Niou was indeed right! Oishi Kuwajiro really deserves the name of "man-killer"!
Kitahara Kounosuke was very satisfied with Oishi Kuwajiro's performance of being able to tie with Qing Deng and fighting with Qing Deng.
Qing Deng's guess was right. Oishi Kuwajiro was indeed the swordsman newly recruited by their Shimizu clan three months ago.
"I have nothing special except that I am good at swordsmanship and dare to kill people. Just assign me some killing tasks." - This is what Oishi Kujiro said when he entered the industry.
There are cold-blooded people with excellent martial arts skills and dare to kill people in the Shimizu clan, so few people take Oishi Kujiro's words seriously.
It was not until Oishi Kujiro participated in several extreme firefights and assassination missions and began to emerge that people gradually discovered Oishi Kujiro's extraordinaryness. The senior leaders of the Shimizu clan noticed and began to use Oishi Kujiro.
First of all, it goes without saying that Oishi Kujiro's swordsmanship skills are among the best even in the Shimizu clan, which is full of masters.
Of course, just being good at swordsmanship is not enough to be favored by the Shimizu clan.
After so many years of accumulation, the Shimizu clan has long become a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are hidden.
Although Oishi Kujiro's martial arts skills are strong, they are not strong enough to stand out from the crowd.
The main reason why Oishi Kazujiro became a favorite in the eyes of Kitahara Konosuke and other senior officials of the Shimizu clan was Oishi Kazujiro's indifference to human life.
Oishi Kazujiro's indifference to human life is truly indifferent!
To describe him as "cold and ruthless" is too gentle.
To give a vivid example...other people's indifference to human life is just psychological indifference. They still know in their hearts that they have cut off a living life, and their emotions will still rise and fall because of this. It is just a matter of degree. That’s all.
But Oishi Kazujiro is not like this. His indifference to human life is due to physical indifference.
To put it simply, it means that in the bottom of your heart, you don’t think killing someone is something worth making a fuss about.
In his eyes, killing someone is no different than breaking off a toothpick or crushing a willow branch.
Would you feel compassion for toothpicks and wickers?
Do you feel guilty for breaking off a toothpick or bending a willow branch?
Oishi Sakujiro is such a person - a born killer!
What's even more commendable is that Oishi Shojiro has no personal ambition or desire for power. He never wanted to climb high like some people, and he never participated in factional struggles within the Qingshui clan.
It has always been an attitude of "leave it to me if you have a task, and as long as you are paid enough, everything will be easy."
How could such a natural killer with outstanding talents and no special desires not be loved by the senior cadres of the Qingshui clan who had to deal with such dirty business as filming and assassination for many years?
As a result, with the employment principle of "making the best use of everything", the senior cadres of the Qingshui clan began to reuse Oishi Shojiro, and handed over various murder-related tasks to Oishi Shojiro more and more frequently.
With his excellent personal abilities and his naturally twisted character, Oishi Kazujiro is sure to achieve success whenever he takes action.
As Oishi Kakujiro killed more and more people, and the terrifyingly calm look he showed when killing people was so terrifying, some good people in the Qingshui clan gave Oishi Kakujiro the nickname: Human-Zhan Kakujiro .
"Human Slayer" is a common nickname in ancient Japan, often used to refer to warriors who kill countless people.
Ogata Issei, who was active during the Kansei period 70 years ago, has the nickname "Issei the Human Killer" in addition to titles such as "Eternal Sword Master", "Shura", and "Executioner Ittosai". .
Because Oishi Shojiro is a newcomer who has just entered the industry and has not yet performed the kind of mission that can "become famous all over the world in one fell swoop", Oishi Shojiro's name has not yet entered the government's sight, so Seito does not know about Oishi Shojiro. The existence of Jiro.
At this time, Kitahara Konosuke couldn't help but think:
——The King of Ni who has been killed for a long time, the blood on his sword is definitely not small, and he can be regarded as the number one killer. The battle between the two human beings, Setobu Renzan and Shojiro Renzan, will definitely attract a lot of spectators if the battle is publicized to the outside world. The ticket fee alone will be a lot of money, and if you add in the hawking of snacks, , Income from drinks... Humph, the income is quite considerable!
Konosuke Kitahara is in charge of economic work in the Shimizu clan, so when he thinks about problems, his mind will always wander to money-related matters uncontrollably.
At the same time, not far from Konosuke Kitahara, Otsuki Minoru... this girl who had always thought that Aoto would definitely win over Oishi Kazujiro before the battle began, was optimistic on her own initiative, and now she was pessimistic on her own initiative. .
Looking at the anxious battle situation on the field with no winner yet, in order to soothe her inner uneasiness and regain some self-confidence, she couldn't help but tilted her head and asked softly to Sanako next to her. :
"Miss Chiba, Tachibana-kun... can he win?"
As soon as Otsuki Minoru finished speaking, Sanako could be heard saying seriously without thinking, word by word:
"Of course we can win."
Sanako's quick and firm answer made Otsuki Minoru stunned. She subconsciously asked:
"Why?"
"..."
Sanako tilted her head and black-and-white eyes without saying a word, looking at this person... After learning that she was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Qingdeng, she always felt a little... weird in her heart. girl.
Before his head started to work and he was thinking about how to answer Otsuki Minoru's question, his lips and tongue started to move without permission.
"Because I know Tachibana-kun better than you do."
After saying this, Sanako ignored Otsuki Minoru and didn't even look at her.
Otsuki Minoru's dumbfounded expression was left behind, his eyes turned back to the front, and he continued to watch the competition on the field intently.
…
…
Let’s talk about the battle in the dojo——
Oishi Kazujiro may have discovered that Aoto's strength, speed, and physical strength were all superior to his, so he changed his style of play.
He quickly took two steps back, holding the sword with blue eyes, his body tensed, and most of his body retracted into the shadow of the bamboo sword.
Oishi Kakujiro's posture contained an astonishing momentum, emitting a chilling pressure that made goosebumps rise one after another.
Apparently, the Blue Eyes stance is his specialty... Qingdeng thought to himself.
Qingto didn't dare to be careless, but he was not afraid either. He cheered up and resisted the pressure coming from Oishi Shojiro's body. He looked at the distance between himself and Oishi Shojiro and stabbed Oishi Shojiro with his sword in one go. Jiro's throat position.
If one hundred people who are not good at swordsmanship come, they will be hit by a fierce blow and retreat.
However, Oishi Qiaojiro only took a small step back and dodged the sword calmly, and then swung his sword to cut Qingdeng's side face.
Qingdeng did not block, he thrust his sword forward, slipped under Oishi Qiaojiro's sword, and then used the second and third moves smoothly.
Although Oishi Qiaojiro parried them one by one, he was a little struggling to defend because he was inferior to Qingdeng in strength and speed, and his appearance became very embarrassed.
Qingdeng's state gradually improved.
"Concentration" is actually a relatively slow talent, and it takes a certain amount of time to concentrate the spirit and consciousness.
As time passed, Qingdeng's spirit and energy have entered the most concentrated state. In the true sense of "Taishan collapses in front of you without changing your color, and a deer rises on your left without blinking".
Qingdeng's eyes are now only focused on the opponent and the battle in front of him.
Everything in the world around him could not disturb Qing Deng's mood in the slightest.
Now, even if there were peerless beauties like Xi Shi and Diao Chan taking off their clothes beside Qing Deng, Qing Deng would not even look at them.
In order to create a favorable opportunity, Qing Deng suddenly pulled back the bamboo sword, changing from "offensive posture" to "defensive posture".
Seeing that Qing Deng had changed his tactics, Oishi Kujiro had an opportunity to take advantage of it and had enough room to counterattack. He immediately raised his sword over his head and used a powerful momentum as if he was going to chop the man in half with the next blow.
In an instant, Qing Deng suddenly loosened his grip and relaxed the handle of the sword that he had been holding tightly. The tip of the bamboo sword swayed gently like the tail of a wagtail, and the sword body had a light rhythmic feeling.
It was the classic sword holding posture of Beichen Itto-ryu.
Qing Deng not only used the classic stance of Beichen Ittoryu, he also used the classic moves of Beichen Ittoryu - he moved to the right side of Oishi Kujiro with a footwork speed that was a moment faster than Oishi Kujiro's sword speed, and then slashed the bamboo sword down from the air, directly hitting Oishi Kujiro's right wrist holding the sword.
Although he was wearing a cage to protect his elbows, the protective gear was not omnipotent. He was hit hard by Qing Deng's sword. Even if he didn't break a bone, he would definitely be in pain and unable to hold the sword for a period of time.
Sanako, who was at the side of the dojo, couldn't help but twitch his beautiful mouth corners after seeing Qing Deng stealing their Beichen Ittoryu swordsmanship again, and a helpless look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry appeared on his cheeks.
When Qing Deng's bamboo sword was less than 5 cm away from his wrist, Oishi Kujiro showed an extremely amazing reaction speed.
He put the bamboo sword and his hand back in front of the bear and stepped back to the right - the action was free and easy.
Then, Oishi Kujiro showed his heroic figure for a moment.
Oishi Kujiro's movement just now flashed into Qing Deng's blind spot, so he couldn't see clearly what moves Oishi Kujiro was using now, but his nerves and his skin exposed outside his clothes felt the breath of danger.
He turned quickly, facing the opponent's attacking figure and the white bamboo sword Xian Ge that filled his entire field of vision.
The attack and defense were so fast that it was impossible to cover the ears. In an instant, three sounds of bamboo swords colliding rang out continuously without interruption.
The attack was frustrated, but Oishi Kujiro was unyielding.
He held his breath, accumulated strength and spirit, and launched a violent attack on Qing Deng.
One move after another, the sword skills without outflow were poured out by Oishi Kujiro.
The fierce attack like a raging wind and raging waves even suppressed Qing Deng for a while, and Qing Deng couldn't find a favorable opportunity to fight back.
Mugai-ryu is a school known for its high practicality. It is a perfect match for a swordsman like Oishi Kujiro who has a slightly antisocial personality.
Because they use the same school, Qing Deng can't help but compare Oishi Kujiro with his good brother: Saito Ichi.
According to Qing Deng's own personal judgment... Oishi Kujiro's strength is not inferior to Saito, and the two's swordsmanship levels are evenly matched.
No.
That's not right.
If these two really fight, Oishi Kujiro might have a slight advantage.
The reason is that Oishi Kujiro's momentum when swinging the sword, not taking human life seriously at all, is too terrifying. His momentum in using the sword like this can be said to have taken advantage in the battle.
When fighting with others, momentum is the most important - this is a common topic in the martial arts world.
There is a saying: When two meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Too many people fail and die because they dare not attack forward and are afraid of killing and being killed.
In a real sword duel, the one who survives is not necessarily the one with the best swordsmanship, but the one with the most courage and guts to slash the sword at the opponent's body.
Therefore, Chiba Sadakichi warned Sanako since he was a child: when fighting for life, don't treat the opponent as a normal living person.
Harden your heart and abandon mercy - this kind of thing seems easy to do, but it is not so easy to do.
Imagine: when you are about to swing a fatal blow that can immediately kill the opponent, you suddenly see the opponent's begging for mercy; suddenly find that the opponent is a beautiful boy or girl who makes people feel sympathetic... After all, people are made of flesh, and not everyone can completely eliminate the seven emotions and six desires in battle.
But Oishi Kujiro does not have this problem.
When attacking, there is no hesitation, the sword is fierce and ferocious, no matter who is in front of him, he can swing the sword and kill like a robot that has been programmed long ago.
His fighting style can bring great psychological pressure to the opponent.
In the whole test hall, the only people who can win against Oishi Kumajiro are probably Souji and Kondo Shusuke.
At this moment, the confrontation between Qing Deng and Oishi Kumajiro gradually entered a white-hot situation.
Oishi Kumajiro took a blue-eyed stance, and the tip of the sword was slightly fixed - it was just a blink of an eye.
After a blink of an eye, Oishi Kumajiro's waist sank slightly, and he used the power of his waist to cut the bamboo sword diagonally.
Before he could take a closer look, Qing Deng relied on the "Wind Sensor" to hear the attack direction of Oishi Kumajiro's bamboo sword.
He bent his right knee, sank suddenly, and his body was in a half-squat position - snap - he swung the sword up and bounced off the bamboo sword that Oishi Kumajiro was slashing at him.
In the next moment, Qing Deng suddenly stood up like pulling onions out of dry land.
The power stored in his waist burst out in one breath, and the bamboo sword in his hand hit the second sword slashed by Oishi Kujiro diagonally in mid-air.
With a "pop" sound, Oishi Kujiro's body and bamboo sword were shaken back by the reaction force.
This is the best opportunity.
Qing Deng immediately took a big step towards Oishi Kujiro like a shark that smelled blood.
Bang - dull footprints, and then the bamboo sword in his hand made a sound instead of him.
At this time, Oishi Kujiro once again showed his amazing reaction speed.
Qing Deng's bamboo sword was just about to be swung out, and it had not yet accelerated to the maximum speed, but Oishi Kujiro had already completed the dodging action.
He took the opportunity of dodging to regroup and then attacked Qing Deng again.
Oishi Kujiro's current fighting method is to attack, attack, and attack again.
He no longer played against Qing Deng and fought with swords like at the beginning. He would not touch the bamboo sword slashed by Qing Deng if he could.
Oishi Kujiro's change of tactics was correct.
Even a discerning person could see that Oishi Kujiro's physical fitness was far inferior to Qing Deng's, let alone Oishi Kujiro, who was the person involved?
In a battle, for the party with inferior physical fitness, the correct solution is to try to fight quickly and decide the winner before the physical and mental strength is exhausted.
Looking at Oishi Kujiro who attacked him again, Qing Deng thought to himself:
- As expected, this man's reflexes are really excellent!
As the fierce battle became more intense, Qing Deng finally discovered the main reason why Oishi Kujiro could fight with him for so long-Oishi Kujiro's reflexes are quite excellent! The reaction speed is extremely fast!
Often, as soon as Qing Deng raised the bamboo sword, Oishi Kujiro had seen through Qing Deng's intentions and quickly responded by defending and dodging.
In this way, Oishi Kujiro was very good at resolving Qing Deng's attacks, making it difficult for Qing Deng's offensive to work.
The opponent seemed to have activated the "auto-dodge and auto-defense cheat" - this was certainly quite tricky, but it was not completely helpless.
As long as a person is strong, he will always get tired, and his body will always fail to keep up with his consciousness.
The following scenes all happened between the lightning and the morning dew -
At this moment, the candles standing at the four corners of the dojo had burned much shorter.
The orange warm light gradually moved down, stretching the figures of the two people fighting on the field longer and darker, and illuminating their faces.
Oishi Kujiro swung his sword with great momentum, but in less than a breath, he dodged to the best attack position.
He swung his sword down, and Qing Deng raised his sword up.
The two bamboo swords met with a clang - creaking - the sword bodies of the two bamboo swords both made a tearing sound as if they could not bear the weight and would break at any time.
The fight between the two was too intense, and the bamboo swords could no longer withstand the violence of the two.
However, Qing Deng and Oishi Kujiro ignored them and continued to fight!
In a flash, the two of them passed each other at the same time, and then turned around at the same time, facing each other again.
At first glance, it seemed that it was difficult to tell the speed of their turning around, but in fact, Qing Deng's speed was still half a centimeter faster than Oishi Kujiro.
He turned around half a centimeter faster than Oishi Kujiro... Therefore, it was natural that Qing Deng also delivered a new attack half a centimeter faster than Oishi Kujiro.
A simple and unpretentious straight stab.
He just applied the power transmitted from the ground and his own physical strength to the bamboo sword in his hand, and stabbed the tip of the sword fiercely.
The bamboo sword, with rolling momentum, pierced Oishi Kujiro's chest with the momentum of a meteor falling to the ground. The distance of less than 1 meter was reached in the blink of an eye.
Relying on "Eagle Eye +1", Qing Deng saw Oishi Kujiro's pupils suddenly shrink.
His eyes told Qing Deng that his consciousness had caught up with Qing Deng's attack, and Qing Deng's sword speed was not faster than his reaction speed.
In reality, his footsteps did start to move, preparing to dodge the bamboo sword that was approaching his chest at the speed of light.
However... perhaps because of his lack of physical strength and tired ankles, Oishi Kujiro's movement was half a beat slower.
In a sword fight of this level, the outcome is often decided in an instant.
And the moment that determines the outcome of this battle between Qing Deng and Oishi Kujiro has come!
Snap!
The moment Qing Deng's bamboo sword touched Oishi Kujiro's torso, a loud bang exploded.
The force generated by the collision caused the blade of the bamboo sword to bend suddenly.
Under the gaze of Qing Deng, Oishi Kujiro, and Sanako on the side, the sword blade, which was made of good quality bamboo and had excellent toughness, bent into a terrifying arc of nearly 30 degrees, turning into the shape of a bow.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!
The curved sword body made a sharp noise that made one's scalp numb, teeth aching, and eardrums seemed to be about to be torn to pieces.
This bamboo sword seemed to be broken - whoever came to see this scene would probably think so.
What happened next confirmed this idea.
Bang - a loud noise like a gunshot, echoing in the dojo.
The bamboo sword in Qingdeng's hand began to crack from the central part. The spider web-like cracks quickly deepened and lengthened at a speed that the human eye could not keep up with. They spread from the central part to the entire sword body and penetrated from the surface of the sword body. To the depths of the sword. Eventually - shattered into thousands of pieces.
At the same time that Aoto's bamboo sword was shattered... Oishi Shojiro flew up.
Flying in a physical sense, flying in a real sense.
At the same moment when the sword broke because it could not withstand the huge force of the impact, all the power cached and accumulated in the sword was released immediately.
I saw the soles of Oishi Shojiro's feet leaving the ground first, and then his whole body was ejected, drawing a parabola in the air that was very low in height but very standard in shape.
It flew about 5 steps away, and then rolled to the ground along with the colorful falling fragments of the bamboo sword.
The whole place was silent.
Kithara Konosuke's eyes turned into bull's eyes.
Otsuki Minoru looked like his mind was overloaded because there were too many emotions rushing through him.
Sanako's reaction was the calmest. She seemed to have expected all this, as if she had expected Qingden to win, with a soothing and light smile on her lips.
"The whole place was silent"... Broadly speaking, this description is actually not very accurate.
There was still a sound.
But Sanako and the others couldn't hear the sound.
【Ding! Scan to talent]
The moment Oishi Kazujiro's body hit the ground, a cold system sound sounded in Qingto's mind.
[Successfully copied talent: "Speed +3"]
[Talent introduction: reflex nerves are better than ordinary people]
【Ding! It is detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
【Ding! Start talent fusion]
[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]
【Ding! Talent fusion successful]
["Super Speed" ability promotion - "Super Speed + 4"]
["Speed +4" talent introduction: The talent effect is enhanced on the original basis. "+9" is the highest level]
After listening to the content of the system tone, Qingden was shocked.
——Super speed +3? !
Good guy, Qingden finally understands why Oishi Kazujiro's reaction speed is so amazing.
Others are already great just because they have special talents, but this person not only has talents, but he is also born with an upgraded and strengthened status, with a "+X" suffix at the end of the entry.
Since traveling to this era and owning this system, Qingdeng Longyun has copied almost 50 talents, but this is the first time he has copied a talent with the "+X" suffix at the end of the entry.
Thanks to this, the talent "Divine Speed" that Qingto copied from Tadashi Kanazawa a while ago was directly upgraded to "Superspeed + 4", becoming the highest-level talent Qingto currently possesses.
——It turns out that there are people whose talents in the body are in an enhanced state... So are there people whose talents in the body are born with "+9"...?
Qingden couldn't help but think this way.
At this time, the sound of crawling and armor removal coming from the front brought Qingdeng's "consciousness" back to the present.
Looking up, Oishi Kazujiro slowly got up from the ground and took off the mask on his head.
The blow Aomori just made was really cruel. Not only did he break the bamboo sword, but he also knocked Oishi Shojiro away.
But because the area Aoto hit was the toughest armor in the protective gear, Oishi Kazujiro was not seriously injured except for the area where he had just landed, which was a pain in his butt for a while.
After Oishi Kazujiro took off the mask on his head, he immediately cast a look with mixed emotions, including regret and surprise, towards Aonto.
When this person is not using a sword to kill people, his behavior is still very normal, just like an ordinary person.
You will feel regret for losing, and you will feel admiration for Qingden's powerful moves.
Oishi Kazujiro actually has quite a bit of martial virtue. Regarding his defeat to Ayoto, he did not show any negative emotions such as resentment or jealousy that he could not afford to lose.
After he got up from the ground, he stood up straight and bowed lightly to Qingdeng.
"Lord Niou, I have learned a lesson."
Aoto handed the bamboo sword... no, it should be said that he handed the broken bamboo sword with only a bare hilt to his left hand, imitated the movement of sheathing the sword, pinned it to his waist, and returned the favor to Oishi Shojiro.
"Concession."
At this time, Kithara Konosuke, Sanako and Otsuki Minoru came over.
Aoto looked towards Kitahara Konosuke, and saw that Kitahara Konosuke had a terrible expression. His whole face was elongated, the corners of his mouth fell straight to the ground, and his facial features were tightly stretched as if they were twisted together.
"Mr. Kitahara."
Qingden held the broken bamboo sword in his hands and said to Kitahara Konosuke apologetically.
"Sorry, I broke your bamboo sword. I will compensate you according to the price."
As soon as Aoto finished speaking, Kitahara Konosuke waved his hand rudely.
"No need. It's just a bamboo sword, not a very expensive thing. Lord Niou, your fight with Oishi Kujiro just now was really wonderful and feasted my eyes. Seeing such a wonderful match is worth the money for 100 bamboo swords."
Although Kitahara Kounosuke praised Qing Deng, his expression and eyes did not show any color of wanting to praise Qing Deng sincerely.
This is also natural.
Qing Deng's second trial has passed.
This means that Kitahara Kounosuke has kept his promise, let Zhang Yue Changci free, and will not touch him from now on.
Kitahara Kounosuke closed his mouth, and a tangled hesitant light flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Kitahara Kounosuke, who had a fierce ideological struggle, sighed "Ah".
"Master Niou, congratulations, you have passed all my tests. We Renxia value two things the most: face and promise, which complement each other. I will keep my promise."
After saying that, he turned his head and shouted towards the corridor outside the dojo:
"Come here!"
A Yakuza entered the dojo and walked quickly to Kitahara Kounosuke.
"Go to the cellar and bring Otsuki Tsuneji over."
"Yes!"
Twenty minutes later, the sound of messy footsteps and something being dragged on the ground reached the ears of Qing Deng and others.
In addition, Qing Deng also heard a shrill male voice that seemed familiar and a little familiar.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Sir! Sirs! Where are you taking me? Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Shut up! You're making so much noise! Be quiet!"
"We're not taking you to Edo Bay! If we were taking you to Edo Bay, you would have died long ago!"
Four Yakuza dragged a disheveled and dirty young man and appeared in front of Qing Deng and his group.
Before the man arrived, Qing Deng and his group smelled a very pungent and sour smell.
This stench naturally came from the young man who hadn't taken a bath for who knows how long.
This young man was none other than Otsuki Tsuneji.
After the four Yakuza dragged Otsuki Tsuneji to Kitahara Kounosuke, they threw him to the ground like throwing garbage. They bowed to Kitahara Kounosuke and then turned and retreated.
At this time, Otsuki Tsuneji had his hair loose, and his extremely dirty hair was tied into dry clumps.
Otsuki Tsuneji's hairstyle is a topknot, and because he hasn't washed his hair for a long time, his bald head has grown fine stubble.
There is almost no clean place on his body. His face is a dark mess, so dirty that even the shape of his facial features can't be seen clearly.
If Qing Deng hadn't recognized Otsuki Tsuneji's voice, he would not have recognized him.
Although he looks very embarrassed, Otsuki Tsuneji seems to be in good spirits. He even has the energy to shout.
Otsuki Tsuneji was thrown to the ground roughly, and fell flat on his face with a "ouch".
He rubbed the place where he fell and raised his head - as soon as he raised his head, he saw the expressionless face of Kitahara Kounosuke standing right in front of him.
In an instant, Otsuki Tsuneji's body shook vigorously a few times.
Then...
Puff!
He lowered his waist, which had just straightened up, again in the tiger landing style.
His forehead touched the ground, and his hands placed in front of his head only touched the ground with three fingers - a very standard dogeza.
"Master Kitahara! Master Kitahara! Please let me go! Please spare my life! I really didn't know that Ying was your woman!"
Otsuki Tsuneji faced the floor, which was only a finger away from him, and screamed heartbreakingly.
"Ying said she was single! I was bewitched and believed her lies!"
"I am willing to make compensation to the best of my ability! Please spare my life! Please spare my life!"
Kitahara Kounosuke's face twitched and he frowned impatiently.
"Enough! Shut up! Humph! You are lucky! Congratulations, you saved your life! You have a good wife! You are free! Get out of here!"
"Ah, ah?"
Otsuki Tsuneji was startled, and then raised his face in doubt.
It was not until this time that Otsuki Tsuneji noticed the people standing behind Kitahara Kounosuke.
"Nin, Niou-sama?!"
He first glanced at Qing Deng, who had met him once, in shock, with a look of astonishment and confusion on his face.
Then, his eyes froze on Otsuki Minoru.
His blank gaze collided with Otsuki Minoru's gaze full of sorrow in mid-air.
Otsuki Minoru had always had a fluke mentality.
She believed that Kitahara Kounosuke was lying and that her husband was not arrested because of an affair with Kitahara Kounosuke's lover.
This idea was not supported by any evidence or theory - she just wanted to believe it unilaterally and self-deceivingly, and wanted to have such a result.
A heavy atmosphere of embarrassment fell between the couple.
"Ah... Ah... Ah Minoru..."
Otsuki Tsuneji stuttered.
"..."
Otsuki Minoru pursed her red lips and did not respond.
This scene... made Qing Deng feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Otsuki Minoru had many problems, it was certain that she was in love with Otsuki Tsuneji.
If he had no feelings for Otsuki Tsuneji, why would he run around to save him, and even put aside his shame to ask Qing Deng for help?
The husband she had saved with all her efforts turned out to be a prisoner of the Qingshui clan because of that reason...
Such a reality is really hard for Otsuki Minoru to accept.
