Chapter 295
He whispered threateningly.
However, he didn't immediately expose Qingyuan Xueye—no, in his mouth, "Kutiao Noriko"—what kind of news he had reported to him, and what kind of things he had done, but lightly turned towards him. The group of thugs who brought him said, "Go."
Those people immediately swarmed up, and almost instantly reduced the loose encirclement by half, enclosing Tu Fang in it, and attacked him without grace.
Although Hijikata, who was immediately at an absolute disadvantage, seemed to be fighting the battle calmly, his swordsmanship was not chaotic at all, and his advances and retreats were very orderly, but Liu Quan felt a moment of worry, and then became furious.
"Hello!!" She turned her head suddenly, stared at Jiu Tiao Daoqing who was standing aside with her sleeves folded, and smiled very comfortably, and squeezed out a word from between her teeth.
"What exactly do you want to do, bro...!?"
Kujo Daoqing exaggeratedly showed a little surprised expression, and touched his chin.
"Are you asking me?! My dear sister, don't you know clearly in your heart?"
He slowly pulled out his Taidao from his waist, the sharp blade pointed at her in an instant, and a cold light flashed on the blade.
"I've said it a long time ago—let me show you what real hell is, my sister."
"Just turning you into an obedient corpse is not enough."
"You want to leave my side without authorization, which is absolutely not allowed. I want to make you miserable like this."
"I want to completely destroy you who has developed another will—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up!It wasn't attacking the earth that was already heavily surrounded, but—the unarmed Kiyohara Yuki who was standing a few steps away in front of him!
In the midst of a bitter fight, Tu Fang happened to see this scene out of the corner of his eye, and felt almost heartbroken for an instant.He subconsciously shouted: "No——!!!"
Almost at the moment he yelled, there was a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding from the direction where she and that vicious brother were standing.
Unexpectedly, the moment before she was stabbed, Qingyuan Xueye conjured up a sword that was exactly the same as the strange sword she was used to, and blocked Jiujo Daoqing's sharp sword in time!
Jiu Tiao Daoqing seemed astonished.He gritted his teeth and grinned as their blades met and wrestled secretly.
"...You really know some sorcery that I don't know about, right, sister."
"It's the same as when I was chasing you in Edo... That sword that suddenly flew out of the darkness... You must be manipulating some monster."
He saw her eyes flickering and flickering for a moment, but finally he replied softly with a little bit of regret: "...it's not some monster."
"It was...an important friend, but I lost him after all...that's all."
With a bang, it is unknown who exerted a little force on the intersecting blades first, and the two took advantage of the momentum to take two steps back at the same time, and raised their knives almost at the same time.
"I don't want to die yet, brother."
The melancholy just now melted away like ice and snow under the sun, and the young woman in front of Jiu Tiao Daoqing who should be over 25 years old but looked like a girl showed a faint smile on her face.
"Because I'm not tired of this life full of miracles and incredibles."
She spoke word by word, clearly.
"Don't talk to me with that face of a benefactor, thinking that giving me the surname Kutiao is a great grace... Everything I have is obtained by my own struggle and has nothing to do with you .”
"I now think that everything I got in the Shinsengumi is the best thing in this world."
"In order not to be deprived of the last goodness in all this life, I must fight."
"Fight with you."
"Even if I win I might lose the best thing I've ever had, and I can't back down from that."
As soon as the words fell, she, like him just now, launched a surprise attack without warning.
She rushed forward, and the distance between the two was bridged in an instant.As if returning to the scene when she first came to this world, she competed with Souji Okita in the small courtyard of the Yagi Residence, she made up her mind to seize the initiative by taking the first shot, relying on her forward momentum Imposing, with a desperate rush to gain a little upper hand as soon as it comes up.
The straight-bladed [Mass-produced Longquan Sword] that she exchanged directly from the system bacteria just now is now held in her right hand, raised to a position almost level with her shoulders, and the tip of the sword rushes forward, pointing at the Nine clear directions.She rushed in front of him like an arrow leaving the string, followed by three consecutive crisp sounds, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged three moves.
Of course, Kujo Daoqing is not the chief commander of Okita, and he doesn't have the unique skill "Ping Qingyan" that can suppress her surprise attack.
The superb sword skills she has honed in countless battles for a long time have been brought into full play.Although the depth of scheming surpasses almost everyone else, Jiujo Daoqing has been hidden behind the scenes for a long time, and his actual combat experience and sword skills are of course not as good as her, the former acting leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiban.
Seeing that not only did the situation fail to kill Hijikata and defeat his sister's will smoothly as he expected, but now he is still at a disadvantage in the battle with his sister, the calm smile on Jiu Tiao Daoqing's face finally disappeared, and suddenly broke out There was an anxious roar.
"hateful--!!"
The next moment he noticed that she was jumping up and was about to slash down in the air, so he crossed the Taidao, trying to get low to avoid the blow, and then took advantage of the opportunity to attack her abdomen.However, when her body was still in the air, she had already noticed his plan, so she quickly made a very surprising response——
Her body flexibly twisted to one side to dodge in an unbelievable posture in the air, and her upper body was able to turn a small half circle in just a short moment, just in time to stagger the blade he was going to slash her waist and abdomen; then she Taking advantage of the situation, he changed the direction of his sword's strike, from stabbing his chest with the sword just now to attacking from the side, and pierced deeply into his left shoulder.
There was a sensation of the blade splitting through the flesh and bones, and the sharp pain at that moment almost tore his body and destroyed his consciousness.Jiu Tiao Daoqing, who has been pampered and pampered as a military master behind the scenes for a long time, although he has not slackened in practicing swordsmanship, but lacks actual combat experience, let out a shrill scream.
"what--!!!"
He stepped back several steps in a row, and almost subconsciously let go of the Taidao in his right hand.Fortunately, he held back the pain, grasped the knife soberly in time, and flicked the back of his right hand randomly on his left shoulder, and sure enough, the back of his hand was stained with blood.
He frowned fiercely and stared at the woman in front of him who stabbed him mercilessly in a completely incomprehensible gesture.
...Is this the Zezi? !
Such an absurd idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
No, of course he has seen this desperate gesture before.That's what she did on the late-night streets of Edo.
What made him doubtful was the stereotype he had left on Kutiao Noriko before.At that time, she was still very weak, and because he controlled her elder sister, she was reluctantly forced to learn all kinds of skills that should be used to become an excellent eyeliner or death.At that time, it was those bright and rebellious eyes that first caught his attention.
That's right, no matter how long they have been soaked in the darkness, those eyes are bright and straightforward, revealing an unyielding obstinacy and tenacity.That is the most charming place of Kutiao Noriko.
But now, those eyes were as bright as before, but there was something more inexplicable.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was light and clarity, a kind of original heart that people who grew up in the dark would never have for a long time.
Seeing too much darkness will yearn for light.This is the instinct of ordinary people.However, if you grow up in the darkness, no matter how persistently you pursue the light, it is impossible to replace it as light and hope itself—however, in Kutiao Noriko, he sees this kind of trait that is completely contrary to what he thinks.
No matter how difficult the situation is, don't give up hope, no matter how deep the darkness is, you still believe in the light, and keep moving towards the goal you set, even if you have to be bruised, even if you have to lose friends, even if you have to be with the whole world Only when the world is an enemy can she get all of this, and she will not give in, will not waver, and will not slow down her steps.
Is this really... the little girl he saw back then? !
"You're not Zezi... who are you?!" He blurted out in surprise.
Then he noticed that she had succeeded in the surprise attack, and she was gently waving the sword in her hand to wipe off the blood stained on the blade. Hearing this, he suddenly laughed triumphantly.
"Of course I'm not Kutiao Noriko," she replied.
"I'm Kiyohara Yukiha. I'm the acting leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiban. Other than that, there's nothing else."
This answer seemed a little surprising to Jiu Tiaodaoqing, but for a moment he felt that he was not surprised at all.
That Zezi he was obsessed with... Is it the little girl who had to succumb to him with bright and rebellious eyes back then, or the tall and straight girl with clear eyes and a heart that no matter what happens? What about the young woman with the strong heart of destruction?
...However, that doesn't matter anymore.If you can't subdue submissively to what he has at hand for his use, no matter how beautiful it is, it must be destroyed.It's that simple.
Jiu Tiao Daoqing narrowed his eyes slightly.The next moment, while he was guarding against her attacking him again at any time, he turned slightly to the earth side who was surrounded by his men and was in a hard fight, and shouted loudly:
"Hey! Tufang! After your general was arrested, there was a chance to be rescued, but this woman didn't try her best—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw her suddenly change color, and leaped forward, the sword was extremely fierce, and with the killing intent of Senhan, she stabbed him in the chest with the sword.
