Chapter 854 Kill Kusaka Genzui! Copy Talent [Failed Art Student 3] [4900]

Chapter 854 Kill Kusaka Genrui! Copy Talent [Failed Art Students +3] [4900]

After the sword fight, the two did not separate immediately, but held each other's swords together.

"Drink ahhhhhh-!"

Kusaka Genrui drank suddenly, a low hoarse roar burst out from his throat, his expression became particularly ferocious, and his facial lines twisted into a ball.

He leaned forward and put his weight on the blade to increase the power of the strike.

Aoden's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly observed Genrui Kusaka in front of him through the two swords that were closely connected in mid-air.

Kusaka Genrui, who is only 24 years old now, is in his prime.

With a height of 6 feet (1.8 meters), good facial features and a handsome face, he is indeed one of the most handsome young men in Changzhou.

At this moment, his handsome face was dominated by an extremely determined expression.

With just one glance, one can clearly feel the tenacious determination to "see death as home" and "rather to be in pieces than in ruins".

This kind of enemy who is not afraid of death and wants to die on the battlefield is the most difficult enemy and must not be taken lightly.

In order to suppress Qingdeng, Kusaka Genrui used all the strength in his body.

However, Qingdeng remained as steady as Mount Tai, with his feet rooted deeply into the ground like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree, without moving an inch.

Abruptly, Qingden took a breath.

The next moment, his pressure from the front was suddenly released laterally!

The sudden end of the wrestling... When he was caught off guard, as if he had stepped down the stairs, Kusaka Gensui lost his balance under the action of inertia, and his body fell forward heavily.

While withdrawing his strength, Qingto moved to Kusaka Genrui's side.

Move your body, aim at the target, and swing your sword to strike down—these three actions are performed almost at the same time.

A silver line splashed down, and Vairocana drew a thrilling arc in mid-air, slashing straight towards Kusaka Genrui's neck.

Qingdeng's combo is really ruthless.

It has both insidious routines and terrifying power and speed.

Even if you are a master with the free pass, you may not be able to catch his move.

Hisaka Genzui is good at literary talent and is not a world-famous swordsman like Katsura Kogoro and Takasugi Shinsaku.

If he were in ordinary times, he would definitely not be able to avoid Qingdeng's sword.

However, after making up his mind to commit suicide, it was as if a burden had been lifted, and he now felt in excellent physical condition.

His facial features are extremely sharp, and his limbs are extremely light.

In this way, he showed an amazing strength that was far better than usual!

In the blink of an eye, his body took action one step ahead of his consciousness.

He was seen twisting his body quickly, changing his steps, and narrowly dodged Vairocana's blade.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly retreated to 10 meters away to create distance.

The attack that he thought was a sure hit actually missed... Although Qingden was surprised, he didn't reveal any flaws.

He quickly pulled Vairocana back to his hand and completed the Canshin.

The separation of the two was just a snap of the fingers.

After a snap of his fingers, with the sound of two indistinguishable footsteps on the ground, the two fought together again.

Zhu Rong is showing off his power.

Black smoke rose and filled the air.

Sparks exploded in my ears.

The air was filled with a foul smell of burning.

The sound of wood exploding was heard repeatedly.

Flames gradually engulfed the roof of the temple.

Not far away, the Changzhou battle flag with "One Character Three Stars" painted on it was burned and flew up and down.

In just a moment, there was no place without fire in Tianlong Temple.

The soldiers who invaded Tenryuji Temple retreated out of fear of the fire.

At this moment, the only people left in Tianlong Temple are the generals of both sides.

Duels between generals...even if we look at the entire history of the world, this is quite rare.

"Drink-! Ha-!"

Two powerful shouts burst out from Kusaka Genrui's throat.

He first used a straight thrust, but Qingden dodged it and then adopted the eight-double stance. He quickly used his second move, slashing Qingden's chest with his cassock.

This time, Qingden did not dodge, but held Vairocana above his head.

Clang——a sound. The two knives connected.

There was a subtle move hidden in Qingteng's block, which directly turned Kusaka Genrui's sword to the side. The out-of-control knife hit the wooden wall beside Qingteng... Correction, it should be "Fire Wall".

The wall was wrapped in raging flames, and debris from the fire was constantly flying down, crumbling.

This blow from Kusaka Genrui was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

With a loud "bang", the "wall of fire" shattered into thousands of fragments, falling like raindrops.

Qingden and Kusaka Genrui jumped back at the same time and jumped out from under the "fire wall".

The collapsed "wall of fire" separated the two.

Thousands of sparks and dust stirred up by the collapse of the wall filled the surrounding area, obscuring the view.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Hisaka Genrui, who accidentally inhaled some dust smoke, couldn't help but cough repeatedly, and his body posture became slightly disordered.

Just at this moment, a cold light suddenly struck!

Qingden jumped up, broke through the obstruction of sparks and smoke, and rushed to Kusaka Genrui in one breath.

The tip of the knife raised upward was in Kasumi-dan configuration, aiming directly at Kusaka Genrui's chest, and using the momentum of the charge, he pounced forward.

The momentum of the pig's sudden advance, coupled with the horn-like tip of the knife, really looked like a bull.

Everything happens in milliseconds.

Kusaka Genrui didn't even have time to be surprised, and he subconsciously lowered his body and rolled on the ground.

Although his posture was very embarrassing, he was at least alive.

However... although he avoided the fatal blow, his chest was still accidentally scratched by the tip of Vairocana's knife, his clothes were torn, and a scarlet wound opened like a shell, and blood oozed out.

As if they had agreed in advance, Qingdeng and Kusaka Genrui did not rush to pounce on each other, but just stood there, facing each other from a distance.

Looking around, the only fire-free area was the small piece of open space under the feet of the two.

In the dim firelight, the changes in the expressions of the two were more prominent.

Qingdeng was still the same, with no expression on his cheeks.

Kusaka Genrui stared at Qingdeng with a serious face, "Hu...! Hu...!" He panted heavily.

In terms of the result, Kusaka Genrui's performance just now was indeed amazing, and it was definitely an extraordinary performance.

He fought Qing Deng for more than ten rounds without losing.

However, the gap between the two was still obvious.

Apart from other things, just looking at the two people's appearance, you can see the strength comparison between the two sides.

Qing Deng's breathing was still steady and his face was normal.

On the other hand, Kusaka Genrui was already out of breath.

"Hu...! Hu...! Hu...! Hu...! Hu...!"

After his breath was slightly even, Kusaka Genrui tightened his knife again, got ready, and shot his eyes straight at Qing Deng like a sharp arrow.

Even though he didn't say a word, Qing Deng could sense his intention from his eyes: the next round, decide the winner!

It seems that he intends to take advantage of his remaining strength and will to infuse the next attack.

This is exactly what Qing Deng wants!

As the fire gradually spread, the air became thinner.

No matter how powerful Qing Deng is, he can't move for a long time in a place filled with fire.

Even as strong as he was, he couldn't help but feel shortness of breath now.

Qing Deng raised his chin, indicating "come on", then spread his legs and casually placed the knife on his chest.

"..."

"..."

Suddenly, the only sound on the scene was the burning flame.

The two seemed to have stopped breathing, staring at each other motionlessly.

Suddenly, the air between the two shook violently - they launched an attack at the same time!

Kusaka Genrui kicked the dust, raised his knife over his head, and rushed towards Qing Deng.

Qing Deng took a dragging knife posture, rubbing the ground, and ran head-on without any order.

The victory or defeat was determined in an instant.

At the moment when Qing Deng entered his slashing range, Kusaka Genrui shouted loudly, took out the momentum of "force to split Huashan", and swung the knife to cut it down.

At the same moment, Qing Deng slashed the lower-level knife upwards.

Clang! !

The steel knives collided.

The knife that Kusaka Genrui chopped from top to bottom and the knife that Qing Deng chopped from bottom to top collided heavily.

Blue-white sparks flew out, and Kusaka Genrui's knife was directly bounced away, almost falling out of his hand.

Although he tried his best to pull the knife back to his hand, it was too late.

After Qing Deng bounced off the opponent's knife, he adjusted the blade, and the purple blade light poured down, covering Kusaka Genrui's body——

Puff!

A "purple line" splashed down.

The blood color blurred the purple light that had not yet dissipated.

Qing Deng ran past Kusaka Genrui, and after running a few steps, he stabilized his body, turned his head to face the enemy again, and habitually put out his Zanshin.

In fact, his Zanshin was completely redundant.

The strike he just made was very solid, and the feeling of cutting tendons and breaking bones was very strong.

Unless the opponent is a legendary creature like "immortal", it is impossible for him to stand up again.

As expected, Kusaka Genrui shook a few times, then fell to his knees with a "thump", and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Talent successfully copied: "Failed art student +3"]

[Talent introduction: Contagious speech]

[Ding! Detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

[Ding! Start talent fusion]

["Failed art student +2" ability upgrade - "Failed art student +5"]

Failed art voice +3... Qing Deng understood why Kusaka Genrui was so popular and had so many fans.

After the system sound in his mind stopped, Qing Deng walked slowly towards the other party.

"Huh...! Huh...! Puff! Cough cough cough! Ugh...!"

Kusaka Genrui's limbs were constantly spasming, and blood foam mixed with saliva kept flowing out of his mouth and nose.

A horrible cut extended from his left abdomen to his right shoulder, and blood flowed all over the ground.

With such a serious injury, there was no cure, and he would bleed to death in no time.

Qing Deng raised his knife, ready to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Kusaka Genrui said first:

"No... No need for you to do it..."

He raised his hand to open his clothes, revealing his belly, and then pulled out the wakizashi with a "clang".

Qing Deng saw this and immediately understood.

"Do you need an kaishaku?"

Perhaps it was a last-ditch moment, Kusaka Genrui's body spasms were much relieved, and his speech became clearer.

"No need... My stupidity caused countless people to die."

"At this point, how can I die quickly?"

After a few self-deprecating sneers, Kusaka Genrui raised the wakizashi, with the tip of the knife close to his left abdomen.

Seeing that the other party rejected his kindness, Qingdeng didn't force it. He shook the knife and shook off the remaining blood on the knife, then turned and left.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, tongues of fire licking the ground, almost reaching the feet of Qingden and Kusaka Genrui.

Just when Hisaka Genrui was about to be surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, Qingden suddenly heard him shouting:

"Ju Qingden... just watch!"

Hisaka Genzui kept his wakizashi pointed at his belly and shouted loudly without raising his head.

"We're not done yet in Changzhou!"

"Shogunate, Qinjin, Aizu, Satsuma... we Choshu men will defeat you all!"

"The one who will win the world in the end will definitely be Changzhou!"

Qingden stopped, turned half his head, and looked indifferently at the figure of Kusaka Genrui who was twisted by the sea of ​​fire.

"Teach me anytime, just come here."

After that, Qingdeng stopped paying attention to the other party, took steps again, and walked forward alone.

"Ju Qingden... just wait... the day when Changzhou rules the world... it won't be long ago..."

Because his strength was gradually declining, Hisaka Genrui's tone became weaker and weaker as he continued to speak.

Just before losing consciousness, he took a deep breath, secretly used a fierce force, and pushed the wakizashi into his belly.

Poof!

He fell forward suddenly, his body convulsing violently.

Raging fire surrounded him from all directions.

Several burned logs fell not far from him.

Within a moment, his body disappeared into the vast sea of ​​fire...

"The most talented man in Choshu" Hisaka Gensui died in battle!

…

…

To the west of Tenryuji Temple, Arashiyama——

"One, two, three, pull! Come again! One, two, three, pull!"

Katsura Kogoro personally stepped forward to push the wheel, and finally got a carriage full of wounded people out of the mud pit.

After taking over the command of the army from Genzui Hisaka, Katsura Kogoro immediately began to deploy the retreat.

Under the fierce attack of the Changzhou Army, the command system of the Changzhou Army was already on the verge of collapse.

Katsura Kogoro, who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, just managed to complete all preparations for the retreat amidst the chaos and organized the corresponding defense lines.

First, let the wounded evacuate first, and the remaining soldiers who are unable to fight anymore will be responsible for escorting them.

Then the troops who were still capable of fighting were mobilized to form the rear army and set up defenses at Arashiyama to the west of Tianlong Temple.

Arashiyama is on the eastern edge of the Tanba Highlands, with a higher terrain and a mountain height of 375 meters.

Relying on the convenient location, it might be possible to stop the offensive of the Taichang Army and gain time to retreat.

Katsura Kogoro is one of the "Three Heroes of Choshu" and has authority second only to Hisaka Genzui and Takasugi Shinsaku.

When the generals heard that Katsura Kogoro was now in charge, they all remained silent and silently carried out the orders issued by Katsura Kogoro without daring to resist.

Anyone else might not have the qualifications to convince the generals.

In order to boost morale and ensure a smooth retreat, Katsura Kogoro personally commanded the rear army and lived and died with the rear army.

Hannya folded his arms and followed Katsura Kogoro with an indifferent expression, never stepping forward to help.

When Katsura Kogoro went to push the carriage that was stuck in the mud, he stood aside and had nothing to do with it.

Katsura Kogoro has long been used to Hannya's indifference.

He knew very well that Prajna's mission was only to save his life.

Everything else is outside the scope of his mission, and he will never help.

"Haaah~~"

Prajna looked up to the sky and yawned greatly.

"You guys are really good at looking for trouble... It's all your fault for insisting on staying behind and making me suffer too."

"I'll say it first. I won't save anyone. I'm only responsible for protecting you."

"Don't even think about diving headlong into the enemy group and forcing me to fight the 'Teacher's Army' to protect you."

"If you piss me off, I won't care what the mission is, I'll chop off your head first to vent my anger."

"I'm different from Otakemaru, Shuten Doji, and Rakshasa. I don't have such deep feelings for the Hoshu Party, let alone follow the advice of that Yamata no Orochi."

"I agreed to join the Hōsū Party just to learn more about Otakemaru and Shuten Doji."

"I promise you: I have absolutely no virtue of 'completing tasks according to quality and quantity'."

In addition to being "indifferent", Katsura Kogoro has also long been accustomed to Hannya's "venomous snake" and "broken mouth".

He simply ignored Prajna and continued to focus on the matter at hand.

Seeing that Katsura Kogoro regarded him as nothing, Hannya didn't care and just let out a big yawn.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something, his expression suddenly froze, and then he turned to look east.

Katsura Kogoro noticed something strange and couldn't help but asked:

"Prajna, what's wrong?"

Prajna did not answer immediately.

He stared straight at the dense forest to the east. After a long while, until Katsura Kogoro began to feel impatient, he slowly spoke:

"...Kasura Kogoro, you go first."

"Huh? What do you mean? What happened?"

Prajna grinned, revealing a smile with strong white teeth and complicated emotions.

"An old friend has come to visit me...! I can't take care of your life for the time being. You should be happy for yourself!"

After saying that, Hannya kicked the ground fiercely and plunged into the dense forest of the east in the blink of an eye, leaving Katsura Kogoro alone in a daze.

Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha...

Prajna galloped through the forest, and the leaves brushed against his body, making a tiny crackling sound.

After a while, he suddenly felt enlightened - after rushing out of the dense forest, he saw a large open space in front of him.

Right in the middle of the open space, an old man stood as straight as a mountain.

Prajna looked at the old man and smiled slightly.

"Long time no see...Master."

PS: According to historical facts, Kusaka Genrui committed suicide by stabbing each other with others after his defeat in the "Forbidden Gate Incident". Because there was no one in this book who could stab him, he could only commit seppuku alone.
