With the sound of the scabbard falling to the ground, the duel between the two warriors began.
Neither of them used their own special skills, but simply sprinted and slashed.
The sword blades made contact and made a crisp buzzing sound.
"This level of strength..." Okita didn't want to fight any more, Zuo Cun was stronger than him.
Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Samura is slightly older, already seventeen years old. He is stronger than Okita and has a great height advantage.
Okita is more flexible. Although he is only thirteen years old, he has spent a lot longer learning kendo than Samura.
The swords of both men were divided, and their swords were both extremely fast, and they clashed frequently and rapidly.
After trying to compete for a while, the two found that no one could get the upper hand, so they separated and looked for opportunities.
Samura's power is faster, and Okita's speed is faster.
Okita chose to move first.
The dragon horse who was watching the battle shrank his pupils.
He never understood the principles of Okita's Shukuchi and Zumura's Sushou.
Judging from the appearance, the two people are indeed human beings, right? And Miss Aaron also confirmed that the two people should not be monsters.
Ryoma once wondered if Zuomura was a monster turned into a frog...
Zuomura had been guarding against Okita's Shuchi thrust. He jumped on the spot, turned over in the air, dodged Okita's thrust, and then swung his crane feather towards the back of Soten's neck.
Okita turned around quickly, took the knife, and stepped back.
Zuocun jumped up and stood on the tree.
The two men stared at each other.
Suddenly they all sighed involuntarily.
Okita picked up his scabbard, and Zuo Cun also got down from the tree.
"Why don't you fight?" Ryoma wanted to observe for a while whether he was shrinking or staying in the air.
Miss Aaron was hanging on the tree behind and was about to fall asleep.
"If the fight continues like this, Zuomura and I won't be able to determine the winner even if we fight for ten days." Miss Okita put her sword back into its sheath and showed a smile.
"And if we use more force, neither of us will be able to hold back. We... haven't reached that level yet. If we both attack with all our strength, one of us will be injured or even kill the other." Either way, everything is possible." Zuo Cun had just found his scabbard.
The previous scabbard had been damaged in the battle, and the current scabbard of Hehe was given to Zuocun by the city lord who was familiar with Matou Sawa.
The scabbard is half black and half white, resembling the wings of a crane, which fits the name of the sword.
Also because of the Kurokawa Mountain Hidden Ghost Incident, Ano Samura became famous not only as the hero who defeated evil ghosts, "Haguki Slayer", but also for the sword he held.
The famous sword, Hehe, created by the contemporary Suishinko Masahide, who put all his future into it, like its master Yuukizan, attracts the eyes of countless people with awe or admiration.
In addition, before leaving, the city lord also expressed something to Zuocun in a vague way.
Contemporary Tianhuang (to avoid suspicion, I used this instead), Xiang Jian meets Zuocun.
Zuocun did not answer immediately, but avoided the topic.
The shogunate is incompetent, but does Tenhuang have to be capable?
Zuocun thought about this problem.
At this time, the shogunate's incompetence was exposed to the Japanese people and the world. It has undoubtedly become an obstacle to Japan's progress, but how to change the status quo is what Samura and Ryoma are thinking about.
The two of them once asked Okita what he thought.
Okita smiled and said: "Since the shogunate is very incompetent, wouldn't it be good to make it capable?"
Neither Zuomura nor Ryoma responded immediately.
but......
Is it really possible to save a dying tree?
...
"Speaking of which, I've been running away for more than half a year, so it's time to go back." Okita glanced at Zuocun twice.
"Huh? Okita, are you going back?" Ryoma was a little surprised.
"Well, if I don't go back, Master will scold me." Okita smiled and scratched his head.
"...I'll go back with you, Okita." Zuo Cun thought for a moment and said proactively.
"Yeah! Really! Samura, you want to go back to Edo with me?" Miss Okita said excitedly.
She couldn't believe that Samura, a man who usually couldn't hold back a few words of nonsense, would actually ask to go back to Edo with her.
"Yes." Zuo Cun nodded, "I kind of want to test everyone in the Wei Hall. I have been living without a fixed place for so long, and I also want to take a rest."
"Yeah!" Souji Okita made a cheering gesture, then patted Zuomura on the shoulder, "Then let's set off now!"
"Sakamoto, do you want to come with us?" Zuomura looked at the calm and humorous man.
"Well, what I'm saying...even though Edo is also my final destination, I still want to go back to Tosa first." Ryoma smiled and hammered Samura's upper arm, "But Having said that, you have finally made some progress!"
"What progress?" Zuo Cun asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing. Since you are going to Edo and I am going back to Tosa, let's part ways here."
Ryoma looked into Zuo Cun's eyes: "Zuo Cun, I'm very happy to meet a friend like you. I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Well, Sakamoto, don't forget me when you return to your hometown. If you return to Edo soon, come to the trial defense hall outside the city to find me."
The two fists bumped together and laughed in unison.
"Two idiots..." Miss Aaron and Okita stood together, holding their chests, looking helplessly at the two people who were named adults but smiled like little boys.
"Well, take care along the way, Sakamoto."
"Take care of yourself too, Zuo Cun."
"Don't worry. With Miss Aaron by his side, Ryoma will definitely be fine. Although Ryoma is a fool and his strength is very poor, Miss Aaron will definitely protect him very well!" Miss Aaron showed her teeth. Said with a smile.
"Huh? Miss Aaron, the idiot is...?"
"Ryoma is a good boy, shut up."
Zuocun and Okita looked at each other and smiled.
With Miss Aaron here, Ryoma really doesn't have to worry.
Anno Zumura and Souji Okita headed northeast, while Ryoma and Miss Aaron headed southwest and left each other.
...
Serizawa sat on the big rock on the top of the mountain, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Xinjian, I got the answer."
"This country is hopeless! No matter how we save it, we will only end up in ruins!"
Serizawa Kamo looked at the roaring waves at the foot of the mountain, and calmly said to Shinami Nishiki and his friends.
"...What are you going to do?"
"...Find a way to join the shogunate."
"Leading the shogunate to destruction."
"Then, on the ruins of destruction, a new country was rebuilt."
"If the courage to rebuild is not destroyed...then this country will definitely be on the wrong path!"
"This is my...path of serving the country with loyalty."
