Chapter 896 [Chapter 4] 313
Ashikaga Yoshiki's eyes sharpened, and he shouted in a cold voice: "...Are you really an undercover agent sent by the Miyoshi family! So Matsudaira is also one of them?!"
As a result, unlike his expected panicked reaction, the young maid just shook her head calmly facing the wrath of the superior general.
"No. Mr. Changguang and I are not on the side of Miyoshi's family at all, and we will not be used by them." Her voice was mixed with the sound of rain splashing outside the eaves, but it was extraordinarily clear.
"...It's a pity. If the monsters possessing the famous swords in your collection hadn't appeared, we wouldn't have come to this point..." She lowered her eyes, and her face showed a little bit Painful.
Ashikaga Yoshiki: "..."
He seemed a little confused, but he seemed to have understood something.
"Hmph." He sneered, slowly clenched the famous knife in his hand, and assumed the posture before attacking.
"It sounds so nice, but the meaning is not much different from those thieves in Sanhao's house." He smiled ironically.
"In the final analysis, what kind of era is this?...The black-spirited monsters seem to want to save the general, but they keep talking about loyal servants, or the gentle and harmless new maid...But The idea of rebellion, wanting to do some outrageous deeds—”
He stopped suddenly when he said this.After two seconds of silence, a dull expression suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was extremely tired of all the absurdity in front of him; he put away those futile accusations, and simply said: said:
"Let's do it... I won't show mercy to you anymore."
Even though he said so, his expression also showed his hatred for her so-called "betrayal", but Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't seem to feel that his life was really threatened by her at this moment.
This is also very normal.After all, he studied under Tsukahara Buden and Umizumi Nobutsuna, two contemporary swordsman masters, and learned superb sword techniques called "Xindangliu" and "Xinyinliu". people.
In contrast, the person standing opposite him was just a very young girl. Although she showed certain sword skills during the visit to Kiyomizu Temple, she was a woman after all and she was not very old. She didn't even have real experience on the battlefield, and she couldn't have worshiped a famous teacher like him, not to mention the huge difference in physical fitness between men and women-if that was the case, what chance would she have for success?
No, it would be better to say that she dared to show her ambition to assassinate him in person, which is already ridiculous--it's ridiculous and beyond her control.
Ashikaga Yoshiki sneered again, seeing the young girl who didn't even have a knife in her hand after handing over the "Great Prajna Changguang" to her lover before, slipping from the tatami mat next to her. He pulled out a Taidao that had been stuck upside down before, and he set it up clumsily as if he didn't seem to be very handy at first.
"Hmm." Ashikaga Yoshiki snorted again indiscriminately, and didn't bother to mock her since she was going to assassinate him, why did she use his knife.
Yoshiki Ashikaga saw the man named "Nagamitsu Matsudaira"—speaking of which, he didn't even know whether Nagamitsu Matsudaira was called by that name, or whether the new maid "Axue" was the real one. Lover—turn back from the door.
He seemed to be a little surprised by A Xue's determination, and paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to come over to take over A Xue's assassination mission—but before he took a step, he heard A Xue shout: "... ...Chang Guang-jun! Please go outside with the two of them to fight against the time-traveling army! Don't let them do whatever they want!"
She raised her left hand and pointed at the two teenagers standing not far from her, signaling them to join Songping Changguang as soon as possible, and go to the porch outside the door to fight against those who seemed to be named The monster of the "time retrograde army".
Strangely, given her order, neither the two young boys nor the big man Matsudaira Changmitsu seemed to have any intention of questioning her or challenging her decision—even though she planned to do it alone. How unbelievable it sounds to assassinate a general who is a swordsman—they turned around almost at the same time, and rushed towards the corridor outside.
Now, only the two of them are left in this spacious hall.
Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
...Does she have such strong self-confidence? !
He couldn't help asking.
"You, do you really think you can do this...?"
He saw the young girl tilt her head in confusion, as if she didn't understand his intentions at all.
He suddenly felt that the whole thing was ridiculous and crazy to the extreme.So he followed his own mind, sneered, and made it clearer.
"Have you...have you ever killed someone before? Killing someone sounds easy, but it's actually not an easy thing..."
In fact, he didn't want to dissuade her from doing such a rebellious thing.Because he didn't feel that he had to rely on rhetoric to defeat a little girl who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.His life and death are destiny.If it wasn't her, there would be someone else—he just felt a little pity all of a sudden, he didn't know what power drove her to let the slender hands of such a young and beautiful girl be stained with other people's blood——
However, he saw her grin.She obviously understood what he meant this time, showing a distorted smile that almost seemed to be crying.
"I...before, I didn't just swing a knife at others."
She seemed to want to say her answer in a lighter tone, but failed.So she took a deep breath.
"...Fire/gun, do you know? But I, still holding that thing, shot at people who are very important to me—"
Her ending sounded like a choked sob.That made Ashikaga Yoshiki startled.
"...That is, the one I mentioned to you just now, the one I will think of before I die, such an important person."
At this moment, with a bang, the sound of lightning splitting the sky came from the courtyard.The lightning seemed to pass through the shoji gate, illuminating the front of the court in white.
As the lightning pierced the sky, Ashikaga Yoshiki's pupils suddenly constricted!
Because he was surprised to see that the young girl in front of him was the first to attack him!
She was still a few steps away from him—looking at it now, that distance seemed to be deliberately set aside—then, the momentary weakness she showed just now seemed to have never existed, accompanied by Amidst the thunder from the lightning, she used this distance to start running, then followed the momentum and jumped onto a low table on the way, and finally took advantage of the momentum to leap forward, her body was incredibly light, and she was already on the ground in an instant. Above his head, the sharp blade with a cold light cut through the almost frozen air in the room, and fell towards him!
Ashikaga Yoshiki:! ! !
He took a step back subconsciously, crossing the blade——
However, he was one step too late when he planned to resist her blade.
Above the glorious hall where the candles were flickering, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron clashing!
sough--
A strange sound of wind passed through the hall.
The next moment, a figure also entangled in black energy suddenly appeared between Ashikaga Yoshiki and the young girl who attacked him!
And when he raised his right arm, the blade in his hand, which was also wrapped in black mist, had already touched the blade that the young girl slashed down in the air.And the crisp sound of gold and iron clashing was the result of their blades colliding together!
There was a buzzing sound when the blades intersected, and the black shadow shook its arms violently, taking advantage of the momentum to relieve the force of the young girl's volley; He landed lightly and stood a step away from him.
Immediately, she crossed the knife in her hand, narrowed her eyes, and slowly wrinkled her brows, her face was gloomy like the night sky outside the house at this moment.
On the other side of her, the figure surrounded by black air raised the knife again without saying a word.
The thick layer of black air wrapped around him and the famous knife in his hand, fluctuating slightly with the wide sleeves and hem of the wide hunting clothes on his body.
There was a bang, and more thunder rang in the sky outside the door.The torrential rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to be startled by the thunder at this moment.He turned his head to look at the gap that suddenly appeared on the tatami - and the original knife mark left there because the tip of the knife pierced the tatami - and turned his gaze back, widening his eyes, He stared at the back of the young man in hunting clothes.
"... Sanri Yuezong is near?!" He murmured, staring fixedly at the knife in the black shadow's hand.
However, the shadow didn't answer him.
Instead, it was the young girl who first attacked him who answered him.
"Ha." He heard her sneer, and the chilling meaning in her voice didn't even sound like that of a young girl, but more like that of an outstanding warrior who has been through many battles——
The clear and calm meaning in that voice has completely disappeared.He heard her lower her voice, and the urgency in her tone seemed to be substantive, which even made him a little dazed for a moment.
"These are those monsters, the fallen monsters summoned from your famous sword 'Sankai Yuezongjin'—" Her voice was cold and full of anger.
Then, something even more incredible happened.
Ashikaga Yoshiki heard that black shadow—it could only be that black shadow, because that voice undoubtedly belonged to a man—suddenly chuckled.
"Have you no respect for the gods?"
Then, Ashikaga Yoshiki saw the shoulders of the young girl in front of him tremble suddenly.
Of course he could tell, it was because the body reacted subconsciously after being extremely shocked.
However, why did this young girl, who seemed to have to personally carry out such a treasonous thing as assassinating the general, and a strong-hearted woman who could not shake her will, after hearing the so-called "monster" speak? What about revealing such a huge flaw? !
Ashikaga Yoshiki thought quickly, but he couldn't get any answer at all.
He also didn't understand why a monster that was covered in black energy and looked really strange and terrifying called itself a "God".
But, it seemed, the young girl in front of him clearly knew why.
Because she quickly regained her strength, the shake that happened at that moment just now seemed to have never happened before, and her voice became even more condensed.
"Heh..." She laughed softly.
"That's right, you used to be a god..." Her ending sound gradually lowered, then suddenly turned, her voice raised an octave, and she shouted sharply: "But look at yourself, do you still look like a god now!!"
