As the two people met, everyone in the Natural Rishinryu Examination Hall also noticed that someone was coming.
Everyone's eyes turned to the young man standing as tall as a pine at the entrance of Rensheng Temple.
"Hey! Isn't this Zuo Cun!" Shimazaki Isamu came up with some surprise.
"Ah, ah, ah, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Gensaburo Inoue looked very happy. He was the one who had met Zuo Cun the longest among everyone. When Zuo Cun spent the New Year's Day at the Trial Guard Hall, Inoue returned Went home and didn't see Zuo Cun.
Okita stared blankly at Zuocun standing at the door, not knowing what to do for a moment.
She felt someone push her shoulder and turned to look, only to find that it was Hijikata.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly." Hijikata Toshizo smiled.
Okita nodded and ran over quickly.
"Mr. Samura!"
Zuo Cun looked at Miss Okita standing in front of him, a little confused.
He took two steps back and looked at the plaque of Rensheng Temple.
That's right, this is Mibu Village, not the Natural Rishin-ryu Examination Hall in Edo.
After scratching his head, Zuomura looked back at Miss Okita who was looking at him with a smile.
"Miss Okita, long time no see." After hesitating, Zuomura tried to touch Miss Okita's head and said this.
Okita didn't hide this time, he just smiled.
Shimazaki and Hijikata gave Samura a bear hug, and Inoue also bumped fists with Samura.
Shannan Keisuke, who was standing aside at a loss, focused his attention on the two swords on Zuomura's waist.
He narrowed his eyes.
The scabbard of the sword is half black and half white, like a crane's wing; the scabbard of the wakizashi is as green as a young bamboo.
Could it be...
Samura also noticed Shannan Keisuke who had been looking at him.
He looked at Hijikata Toshizo, meaning, who is this?
Hijikata Toshizo shook his head, meaning, I don't know him either.
Zuo Cun walked into Shannan Keisuke: "Hello, I, Zuo Cun Annuo, will also be here to sponsor for a few days. Please give me your advice."
"Ah, um, I'm Shannan Keisuke, please give me some advice..." Shannan Keisuke and Zuo Cun shook hands. Both of them felt that the calluses on the other's palms were quite thick.
"I'm curious about something, Mr. Samura." Shannan Keisuke adjusted his glasses, looked at the knife on Samura's waist, and asked, "Um, this knife..."
"Huh? My sword?" Zuo Cun put his hand on He He's sword handle, somewhat confused by Shannan Keisuke's question.
Hijikata Toshizo, who was standing aside, saw something: "Samura, I guess what Mr. Shannan wants to ask is whether you are a 'Haguki Slayer' or something like that."
Samura blinked and looked at Shannan Keisuke.
Shannan Keisuke smiled gently and nodded, feeling a little nervous.
"Although I don't really like the title 'Haguki Slayer'...but if I say I'm the one who defeated the ghost, it's me." Zuomura sighed slightly.
What the hell is the name "Haguki Zhan"? Many samurai would ask him this question now. It may be because Zuomura was a little nervous in the past two days, and for a while he didn't even hear what question Shannan Keisuke wanted to ask.
"It's really you!" Shannan Keisuke looked a little excited.
Zuo Cun smiled and took out the Hehe from the scabbard: "If it's a competition, that's fine."
"Hundori-ryu, Samura Anno."
Shannan Keisuke: "Huh?"
"Aren't you going to attack first?" Zuo Cun stood there holding a knife with a faint smile on his face.
When many samurai saw and recognized Zuo Cun, they would immediately request a competition and want to try Zuo Cun's swordsmanship.
Samura obviously recognized Shannan Keisuke as this kind of person.
Shannan Keisuke looked to the side in panic and found that everyone had moved out of the way, leaving a place for him and Zuo Cun. The pretty girl kept looking at Hauki Zhan.
"This, why did it become like this..." Shannan Keisuke was about to cry but had no tears.
However, he must draw his sword. It would be a shame for him if he could not draw his sword when facing a strong enemy.
Holding the handle of the knife, Shannan Keisuke took a deep breath and looked at Zuocun.
"Beichen's sword style, Shannan's help."
Shannan Keisuke is practicing in the same school as Sakamoto Ryoma, but his master is still the same person - Chiba Shusaku, the master of Beichen Ittoryu sect.
He wanted to find a flaw in Zuo Cun.
However, cold sweat had flowed from his forehead to the ground, and Shannan Keisuke still couldn't find a flaw in Samura.
It's so strong, it's worthy of a Yuuki Slayer, even though he's standing, it's like a sharp blade...
Shannan Keisuke knew that he had to bite the bullet.
Using both feet, Shannan surged forward.
Samura's eyes narrowed, wary of Shannan Keisuke's attack.
Although he looks like a soft-footed shrimp, he seems to have some strength!
Zuo Cun felt a little surprised.
Shannan Keisuke looked at Zuocun who had the door wide open, and he was also a little angry.
Even if you are Yu Guizhan, you can't underestimate people.
Zheng——
Unsheath the knife.
Shannan Keisuke has a kind and gentle personality, but is a little afraid of things.
However, it is definitely not weak.
The sword was like thunder, and in just a moment, the sword appeared in front of Zuo Cun's face.
The secret of Beichen's One-Sword Style——
Iai cut off!
Shannan Keisuke didn't dare to be careless when facing Zuo Cun. As soon as he came up, he chose to use all his strength.
"Oh! He looks weak and weak, but he is not very strong, but his strength is surprisingly good!" Shimazaki Isamu praised.
They were all aware of Zuo Cun's strength, but it was Shannan Keisuke who surprised them.
"Don't worry, his level is about the same as the two of us. He can't beat Samura, and he can't even beat Okita." Hijikata Toizan said unexpectedly.
"Huh? Mr. Hijikata, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that I am not as good as Samura?" Miss Okita was unwilling for a moment.
Ping——
The competition on the field continues.
Blocked?
Shannan Keisuke's killing blow was directly blocked by Zuocun.
It was obviously about to hit his face...how could it be blocked?
Shannan Keisuke thought while exerting force.
Zuo Cun retreated half a body, his strength was much greater than Shannan Keisuke's.
Turning sideways, Shannan Keisuke stabbed forward involuntarily, but Zuocun dodged it.
Jumping up slightly, Samura's knife pointed at the back of Shannan Keisuke's head.
"You lose, Shannan-kun." Zuocun didn't kill anyone. He rarely used killers in the competition, although he failed to keep his hand twice.
But this is the case among samurai. As soon as the competition begins, you must be prepared to be hacked to death.
"Ah, I lost. Hauki Slayer...is well-deserved." Shannan Keisuke trembled a little, sheathed his sword, turned around and bowed to Samura, "Thank you, Samura-kun. …Be merciful.”
"I have no mercy, Shannan-kun." Zuo Cun smiled, "Among the warriors I fought against, your strength is already at the top, so there is no need to underestimate yourself."
