I formed the strongest swordsman group

The Ronin's sudden roar startled the passers-by around him.

The roar of the ronin continued at this time.

"Damn it! You bloody rebels are not done yet, are you?"

"You guys who are disloyal, unrighteous, and dare to rebel against the party all deserve to die!"

"I kill you and others to do justice for the heavens! Help justice!"

"What? Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, draw your sword!"

After the roar, the ronin gave a "bang bang" and threw the big wooden box on his back to the ground.

Panting heavily, the Ronin threw himself on the wooden box, and opened the lid - what was contained in the box was a red and black armor with extremely mottled armor.

Ronin poured the armor out of the box, and then put the armor parts on his body one by one with extremely skilled movements.

If there are sharp-eyed and careful people present, they will definitely find that the eyes of this ronin are extremely red, and the whites of the two eyeballs are covered with bloodshot like meat worms.

"Ah ah!"

"Hey, let's go! This man seems to be a lunatic!"

"Do you dare to join in this excitement? Go, go!"

...

The Ronin roared hysterically at the air in front of him, and took out his armor to put it on—this kind of crazy behavior caused everyone around him to panic and flee in all directions.

Of course - there are still some people who don't know whether they are too full or have brain problems, stop and watch with interest.

"Hey, one step! What are you doing?!"

At this time, it was extremely rare—the police were dispatched very quickly, unlike in the past, the officials did not arrive until the incident was over.

Four of their own officials, who happened to be maintaining law and order nearby and carrying long sticks, rushed here from the intersection on the east side, and surrounded the ronin with their horns.

"One step! Please put down the spear in your hand! Take off the armor on your body!"

The leader of the four officials - a middle-aged man with very square features and a dignified uprightness exuding from his brows - put his hand in his hand

It is not uncommon for samurai who stand as "wu" to have armor.

The samurai family with a slightly more glorious family will have one or even several ancestral armors in their home.

But having armor at home and taking it out on the street and wearing it are two different things!

"One step! Can you hear me? Please put down the spear in your hand! Take off the armor on your body!"

The upright middle-aged man repeated this sentence three times in a row... However, the ronin seemed not to have heard it and turned a deaf ear. He just put his head on his armor in silence.

In the blink of an eye, he had already put on the last armor part - the right arm armor.

Realizing that this ronin's state of consciousness was worse than he expected, and he couldn't communicate with him at all, the upright middle-aged man squinted his eyes and winked at the person beside him.

This person nodded understandingly, put away the long stick in his hand, and walked away quickly, preparing to call more people over and contact the "three times" warriors.

After assigning his companions to move for support, the upright middle-aged man refocused his attention on Ronin.

"One step, you..."

The upright middle-aged man wanted to try to say something to stabilize the Ronin's mood, so as to buy time for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

However... Accidents always come suddenly.

The upright middle-aged man had just had time to say "you" when he saw a huge cold light filling his field of vision.

Although it was only a split second, the upright middle-aged man could barely see what had happened—the ronin who had put on his armor pulled off the holster of the large gun in his hand with lightning speed, revealing the well-maintained body inside. A very good gun blade, and then with a single-armed movement like slapping a mosquito, he swept the grown gun blade towards him.

The so-called "big body gun", as the name suggests, is a spear with an exceptionally long and huge head.

The big spear in Ronin's hand is almost straight and equal in width from the spike to the bottom of the handle, with a total length of nearly 2 meters.

The gun blade is about 3 fingers wide, accounting for 60cm of it...

Such a weapon...is absolutely a first-class killing weapon on the battlefield!

At this moment, the ronin demonstrated the power of this weapon with a scene full of blood - the blade of the gun that was swept towards the upright middle-aged man sank into and cut open like a hot knife cutting butter without any hindrance. Upright middle-aged body.

The gun blade cut into his right belly, and then cut out from his left shoulder...

The upright middle-aged man lost his upper body and flew out to the side under the influence of inertia—his pupils were full of bewilderment, confusion, and fear...and then quickly lost his spirit.

The smooth tip of the spear without any blood remaining traced a half-arc, returned to Ronin's body, and then thrust out for the second time.

This time, the sharp point of the spear pierced through the body of the official standing behind Ronin's left side.

The 3-finger-wide and 60cm-long gun head pierced a horrifying hole in the man's body, running through it from front to back.

Immediately afterwards, Ronin swept across to the right, clothes, flesh, bones... were all cut to pieces by the gun blade.

The gun head unabated and swept towards the last official who was still standing properly.

The man's reaction was fairly quick, and he hurriedly turned sideways to protect the long stick in his hand to his chest.

The timing of the defense was perfect, and the body of the long stick accurately intercepted the barrel of the large gun.

However...the strength difference between each other is too far.

The majesty and strength of the big gun was astonishing, the moment it hit the long stick, the stick was bent and cracked.

The official only felt an unstoppable force spread from the stick to his palms, arms, and even his whole body.

Kara—the bones of his two palms and two arms were turned into dozens of pieces, and then the shattered stick in his hand hit his chest hard, and the huge shock penetrated through the stick and his clothes, injuring him sternum and viscera.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Cough... No, it was the official who vomited a lot of blood, like a kite with a broken string, "flying" lightly to a few steps away, and then collapsed limply on the ground as if he had lost the support of his bones. The ground, with more air intake and less air output, it must be hopeless.

In the blink of an eye, the three local officials surrounding Ronin turned into corpses of different shapes.

"Come on, rebels, let's make some good gestures. If I kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"

The ronin wiped the blood splashed on his face casually, then spread his feet and held his gun in full swing.

"Tada Koemon, come out!"

...

...

Edo, Ryogoku Bridge, somewhere—

"Because the smell is so fragrant, when I came back to my senses, I found that I was already eating and drinking in front of that squid stall... Harada, are you an idiot?" .

"Because I was fascinated by watching the martial arts performance, when I came back to my senses, I found that I couldn't find Mr. Tachibana and you, so I have no right to call me an idiot." Harada retorted not to be outdone.

"Stop arguing! Both of you are idiots!" Kondo, who was walking behind Yongcang and Harada, compared his hands to two knives, and slashed each of their heads with equal force.

"Sorry..." Fujido Heisuke smiled awkwardly while touching the back of his head, "I'm so stupid that I would be squeezed away by the stream..."

"Hahahaha, don't say that." Inoue, who walked side by side with Fujido, laughed a few times, "There are indeed a lot of people who came to participate in the fireworks display tonight, even I can't guarantee that I won't be crowded by people Scatter! Don't blame yourself!"

"Azui." Kondo turned his head to look at Hijikata beside him, "You have been laughing disgustingly since just now... What? Are you dating another woman?"

Hijikata, who walked side by side with Kondo, looked refreshed.

"Hmm...about the same." Tufang straightened the skirt of his upper body and tightened his belt, "What a nice woman..."

The energy and time required to find Yongcang and others greatly exceeded the expectations of Kondo, Inoue, and Saito.

When Yongcang and others successfully retrieved the prize, the fireworks show had already started.

On the way to the meeting place agreed with Qingdeng and the general manager: Dongqiaokou of the Liangliang Bridge, I ran into Tufang who had finished chatting with the girl and was looking for the "big troop".

Ever since, after a lot of hard work and coincidence, everyone finally gathered together.

"How long is it until the end of the fireworks show?" Harada asked.

"There is still about 1 or 2 quarters of an hour." Inoue replied.

"Oh! What, there is still a lot of time, and there is plenty of time to enjoy the fireworks."

"That's right." Kondo took over the words, "But let's speed up the pace a little bit. Tachibana-kun, Zouji and the others should be impatiently waiting for us."

Under the leadership of Kondo, the group of people quickened their pace and hurried to the scene of the fireworks show.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard the sky boiling up in front of them.

A large number of tourists rushed towards Kondo and others in panic, and fled in the opposite direction to Kondo and others.

Accompanied by the noisy footsteps, there were bursts of screams and wailing.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Quick! Run away!"

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Everyone please follow my command! Please flee in this direction!"

...

"Hey, hey, hey... what's going on?" Fujido looked at the crowd running around in a daze.

Saito sniffed vigorously, then his face sank, and his left hand subconsciously stroked the saber on his right waist: "It smells like blood...!"

"Blood?" Harada was taken aback, "Is it another barbarian who is killing people indiscriminately? Is there a mistake, killing people at the venue of the fireworks festival?"

"Who knows...! Hey! Uncle!" Yongcang grabbed a middle-aged man who passed by him, "Did something happen in front?"

The middle-aged man who was suddenly pulled back and prevented from escaping showed displeasure.

But after seeing Yongcang's sturdy body, fierce face, saber at his waist, and a large group of warriors beside Yongcang, the lines of the middle-aged man's face instantly softened.

"Master Samurai, don't go any further! There's a maniac wearing armor and holding a big gun going around killing people! A lot of people are already dead! Run away! In such a situation... we can only wait for the fire to pay off the thieves." The reformed troops are here to suppress the formation!"

"A lunatic wearing armor and holding a big gun?" Yongcang opened his eyes.

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A girl's scream came from the front like a sharp arrow, piercing everyone's eardrums.

"It seems that tonight's fireworks show won't be finished..." Before Kondo muttered this, his body had already moved first—he held the saber at his waist, lowered his body's center of gravity, and rushed straight forward.

After the rest of the people were stunned for a moment, they quickly followed up.

Passing by countless tourists and houses on both sides of the street, Kondo and others saw a hellish scene after turning a corner.

Corpses...lots of corpses.

Roughly counting, there are more than 20 corpses scattered all over the street in front of you.

These corpses include men and women, old and young, petty officials dressed as servants, and civilians in ordinary clothes...

Although the genders and identities of the victims were different, they had one thing in common: none of their bodies were intact.

Or the body was pierced with a hole the size of a cup, or a part of the limb was lost, or it became fragmented, and the upper body or lower body could not be found...

The blood flowed and the pestle was used to measure the corpse.

A ronin wearing an armor that was splashed with a lot of blood and body fluids, and holding a large gun that was dripping blood in his hand, walked towards a trembling and tearful stalker. A little girl with a frail body huddled in the corner of a deserted open-air tea stall.

The scream that Kondo and the others heard just now came from this little girl.

"Rebel!" After walking to the position where the gun blade could hit the little girl, Ronin raised the big gun in his hand above his head, "Die!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The girl closed her eyes tightly, raised her hands and covered her face with force.

"Bastard! Stop!" Kondo roared, drew his sword in his hand, and rushed towards Ronin.

Although Kondo reacted the fastest and shot first, there was one person who came later, passing Kondo's side at such a speed that only a shadow remained, and rushed to Ronin first.

Heisuke Fujido is the one who takes the lead!

The talent of "leading the horse" makes Todo's running speed far beyond comparison.

Facing this kind of lunatic who disregards human life, there is absolutely no need to show mercy.

Fujido let out a "haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" slashing down with the saber that was held in front of him in a mid-section posture!

The place he was aiming at was originally the head of the Ronin.

However, Ronin is really too tall... Ronin has an astonishing 1.9 meters tall in this era.

Let Fujido, who is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, chop the head of a tall guy with a height of 1.9 meters... It is too difficult for someone too strong.

Therefore, Todo had to lower his attack height and cut off Ronin's right arm instead.

A bright white blade suddenly shot out, causing Ronin's pupils to shrink suddenly in astonishment.

In the next moment, Ronin showed a set of movements that showed the demeanor of a martial arts master and a person who had been killed for a long time.

He quickly let go of his right hand, and took the initiative to use his right arm covered in arm armor to meet Bai Ren who had not yet accelerated to the highest speed.

clang!

The white blade collided with the gauntlet.

The white blade that failed to break through the defense only left a white mark on the armor.

At this time, Kondo and others arrived.

Kondo, Hijikata, Saito, and Yongcura, the four of them surrounded Ronin from four different directions.

The 4 shining blades illuminated the Ronin's face.

Ronin glanced sideways and scanned the positions of Kondo and the others. Instead of fighting recklessly, he used his right arm to deflect Todo's sword, and then took several steps back with his superb footwork.

This person obviously has such a huge body and wears a set of heavy armor, but his footsteps and movements are unexpectedly flexible and agile.

"Girl, let's go!" Inoue raised his sword and stood in front of the girl who was almost killed just now, while protecting the girl behind him, he shouted at her without head.

At the same time, Harada urged and protected the people who were still staying nearby to evacuate quickly.

Although the girl survived the catastrophe, she was so frightened that she lost two of her three souls, and only one of the seven souls remained.

With a dull expression, she didn't even have time to say "thank you", and she forgot to retrieve the clogs she accidentally dropped just now, and fled to the distance in a hurry.

"There are so many rebellious parties again..."

Ronin glanced at Kondo and the others who surrounded him in a fan formation, and grinned.

"Okay! Then I'll kill myself today!"

After all, Ronin lowered his body center of gravity, spread his legs with his left foot in front and his right foot behind him, and held the large gun in his hand in front of him with the point of the gun pointing obliquely at the sky.

"I am one of the 'Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda', a descendant of Tada Miyori: Tada Koemon! Rebels! I think you have some skills! Report your name!"

"What rebellious party...!" Tufang snarled, "It seems that you are really a delirious lunatic! A lunatic like you deserves to know our names..."

"No outflow, Saitoichi."

"Hey! Saito! Don't be so honest!" Hijikata said madly.

Except for Saito's honesty and self-reporting of his family name honestly, the rest ignored Tada Koemon.

"Hmph! Don't you want to say your name...forget it!"

Tada Koemon narrowed his bloodshot eyes slightly, opened his mouth and exhaled foul air.

"As a samurai, you don't want to serve the country today, but follow a rebel like Oshio Heihachiro to set off a rebellion! Inciting the peasants to attack the shogunate and making Osaka into the tragedy it is today is an unforgivable crime!"

Hearing Tada Koemon's words... To be precise, after hearing the name "Oshio Heihachiro", the expressions of Kondo and his party all changed.

Oshio Heihachiro... No one knows this name, no one knows it.

It is not only the belief of some people... but also the taboo of some people!

Just when everyone was shocked by Tada Koemon suddenly uttering the name of this incredible big shot, Tada Koemon yelled loudly.

"Drink! Go against the party! Suffer!"

The long spear blade was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, biting Kondo standing directly in front of it.

...

...

"Cough cough...no, nothing."

The chief executive cleared his throat vigorously and patted his chest.

"It's just that I accidentally choked on saliva."

Hearing what the chief executive said, Qingdeng immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"So it was just choking on saliva...Really, seeing you coughing so hard, I thought something was wrong with you."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The chief reached out and stroked the ponytail on the back of his head, "I made you worry."

The general manager's cough had the effect of "unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shade".

Her sudden severe cough made Kinoshita Mai and Sanako all cast worried glances at her, ignoring the murderous glaring at Qingdeng, and the tense atmosphere was relieved again.

Since the general manager had nothing serious to do, Qingdeng also felt relieved - he was able to refocus his mind on how to solve the immediate crisis.

Although the general manager's help to save the scene has provided him with great help, it has visibly improved the mood of the second daughter... especially Kinoshita Mai, and saved Fan Qingdeng's image in the hearts of the second daughter, but he always After all, the company's assistance is a palliative, not a permanent cure.

If he wanted to survive the immediate crisis, he had to rely on himself.

My mind started to turn again, rethinking how I should explain to Wu and Zuo my behavior of "making ambiguous actions with two girls at the same time".

However... the gears in Qingdeng's head began to move——

"Hey! Listen everyone! Evacuate in this direction!"

An anxious loud shout suppressed the sound of fireworks and interrupted his thoughts.

Qingdeng, and the people who heard the shout, followed the prestige one after another - only to see a few of their own officials carrying long sticks, continuing to shout in panic.

"There is a dangerous lunatic in Itachi 2-chome! Get out of here quickly! Don't stay here any longer!"

The yelling of the officials caused many people to show displeasure.

"What? Leave? I haven't seen enough fireworks yet!"

"I've just arrived here, and I haven't even had time to see the fireworks!"

"What happened? What madman?"

...

In order to avoid causing panic, the officials used the euphemistic term "dangerous lunatic" and did not explicitly state that he was a terrifying figure who went around killing people with a big gun and killed many people.

"Master, master." Ai Luodi looked at the rioting crowd around, and said nervously, "What's the matter? Could it be that the people from the Barbarians are killing people indiscriminately again?"

The cruel deeds of radical anti-barbarians in recent years have made foreigners like Elodie or ordinary Edo people almost suffer from "post-traumatic stress disorder". Subconsciously thought it was a moth made by the radical anti-barbarians.

Suddenly, an unexpected accident happened... Ignoring Wu Zuo's Shura field, Qing Deng smiled at Elodie and said with relief:

"Don't be nervous. I, Okita-kun, Ah Wu, and Miss Sanako are here. No matter what happens, there is no need to be afraid."

After finishing speaking, Qing Deng suddenly heard metal clanging sounds coming from afar.

The voice is very soft... If you don't pay attention, you will miss it.

Qingdeng quickly closed his eyes, focused all his attention on his ears, and carefully perceived all the movements brought by the wind—"Focus on God" and "Wind Senser" were activated.

The sound of a huge breaking wind... It should be the sound of some giant weapon dancing... a spear?

There were a lot of sounds of swinging knives... the dense sound of swinging knives was mixed with a lot of familiar sounds... It was the voice of Kondo and the others!

"...Ai Luodi, come down for a moment." Qingdeng raised his head without changing his face, and said to Ai Luodi who was sitting on his neck.

"Huh? Okay, okay."

Qingdeng put Ai Luodi down and handed it over to Kinoshita Mai.

"A Wu, Ai Luodi will trouble you to take care of it for now."

"Huh?" Kinoshita Wu was taken aback, "Qingdeng, where are you going?"

"I heard Kondo-kun and the others fighting with someone... I'm going to check the situation."

After finishing speaking, Qingdeng supported Ding Guishen on his waist, and rushed to the direction where the battle sounds came from.

Seeing this, the chief executive and Zuo Nazi were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.

The closer you get to the place where the sound came from, the more you can hear the dense clashing sound of iron tools, as well as terrifying roars and smashes.

After a quick gallop, Qing Deng finally found the familiar figures.

On the street ahead covered with blood and broken limbs, Tada Koemon's large gun drew an arc in the air, and the long and sharp tip of the gun pushed back the other people with its length advantage. Yongcang and Fujido are near him on the left.

When swinging again, Saito and Inoue, who wanted to approach him from the right, were also forced to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, Koemon Tada sent the gun forward, stabbing at Hijikata and Harada who were directly in front of him, and Hijikata swung his knife to block him.

Before it was too late, a burly figure looked at the right time and dodged in front of Yumon Tada... It was Kondo!

Kondo, who successfully broke through the blockade of the big gun and got close to Koemon Tada, slashed down with the knife in his hand.

Kondo's slash did not bring any panic to Tada Yumon's face, he did not defend or dodge - he just took a small step back in a calm manner, and generously gave up his chest to Kondo cut.

snap!

The strength of Kondo's attack is not insignificant...but the result of the battle is just an extra scratch on Tada Koemon's armor.

Not only did he fail to break through the defense, but he also broke the knife - Kondo's saber had a gap in the blade.

"Haha!"

The resounding clang was accompanied by the barrel of the gun and pressed towards Kondo.

Kondo had no choice but to back away, and quickly retreated to a place where Koemon Tada's large body gun could not hit.

"Not bad! Rebels! Come again! Let me see what skills you all have!"

Tada Koemon laughed and shouted arrogantly.

At this time, Kondo retreated to a safe place, and noticed Qingdeng, Zouji and Sanako who were about to rush to this place, who happened to be standing not far from him.

"Yo, Tachibana, Director, you are here."

Kondo grinned, showing a helpless bitter smile with resentment

"I have never felt so sincerely like now that the spear is really the 'king of the battlefield', and why civilians are not allowed to hide armor privately."
