Nakamura Hanjiro knew in his heart that the group of samurai who were following Takasugi Shinsaku were no match for Okita Souji. However, when the guy on the roof also appeared, he had no energy left to stop the Shinsengumi boy.
Zhang Heng put a lot of pressure on him.
Nakamura Hanjiro can no longer remember how long it has been since he felt like he was facing a powerful enemy. At this time, even a little distraction may cost him his life in the next battle.
He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to bump into two "similar people" at the same time in one night.
Let’s not talk about the Shinsengumi who are the lackeys of the shogunate. They have been chasing the samurai who overturned the shogunate in Kyoto. In the battle of Ikedaya, even Katsura Kogoro almost died. Although Okita Souji is young, he is the number one master of the Shinsengumi. The number of people who died under his sword may not be less than his own, but the other person... the name Yuta Abe was a bit unfamiliar to Nakamura Hanjiro.
He had never heard of rumors related to this person before. Tonight was the first time the two met. The other person appeared at the tea house as the translator of a French businessman. Nakamura Hanjiro unexpectedly looked away. At that time, he did not I felt some threat from Zhang Heng.
However, when leaving, Nakamura Hanjiro also took a look at the battle in the courtyard. It is certain that the opponent is obviously experienced in many battles and has no plans to kill. He may even be the one with the most combat experience among the three.
It's hard to imagine why such a guy remained unknown in the past.
But now is obviously not the time to consider such things, because Zhang Heng has already jumped from the roof.
Unless it is a sneak attack, masters rarely jump from a high place to attack, because although they can use part of the gravitational potential energy, the body cannot move in mid-air, and it is easy to fall into passivity.
Nakamura Hanjiro waited for Zhang Heng to land, and finally took out the Suzumaru Tsuneji from his waist.
Under the moonlight, Sumaru Tsuneji's blade exudes a cold light, and the Buddhist prayer beads wrapped around the handle seem to be from two different worlds. However, they blend together perfectly, reaching a wonderful balance. Like the cycle of life and death.
Nakamura Hanjiro spoke in a calm tone, "I learned swordsmanship when I was fifteen years old. I wielded a wooden sword eight thousand times a day. In ten years, I finally mastered the swordsmanship. In another five years, I got this sword from Inoue Master and killed the enemy." Forty-four people.”
"... Xiaoshan Dojo, Yuta Abe, the sword was borrowed from Takeue Dojo." Zhang Heng also briefly introduced himself after hearing this.
"..." Nakamura Hanjiro remained silent, and then he stopped talking nonsense and rushed over with his sword raised.
Nakamura Hanjirō's swordsmanship comes from the Shingen-ryu, which is a style of swordsmanship unique to Satsumapan. It emphasizes the sudden advance and the overwhelming momentum of the enemy. It is an indomitable and fierce style. If the natural Rishin-ryu is The Shinsengumi's sword technique is the most popular one among swordsmen.
Nakamura Hanjiro directly raised the Sukumaru Tsuneji in his hand over his right shoulder and slashed at Zhang Heng in front of him. In conjunction with his rising aura, he firmly locked the target. At this time in the past, the enemy would involuntarily have this move in his mind. The thought of being invincible came and I retreated to avoid it, but I fell into Hanjiro Nakamura's trap.
Once you withdraw from this step, the target will find that he becomes more and more passive, and Nakamura Hanjiro's offensive will continue like a tide. Each wave is stronger than the other, and in the end the target can only make hasty moves, and at that moment often It also differentiates between life and death.
Zhang Heng did not fall into the trap. Faced with Nakamura Hanjiro's fierce tiger sword coming down the mountain, he did not retreat even half a step, but directly raised his sword and faced it.
"Well done!" Hanjiro Nakamura shouted, but he was not surprised but overjoyed.
Of course, the Shingen style is not a sword technique to scare people. In fact, Hanjiro Nakamura spent ten years practicing day and night in order to improve the power and speed of his sword. Ordinary swordsmen can't stop his thunder. If you block a blow without knowing its importance, the weapon in your hand will most likely be knocked away.
Therefore, this sword is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy.
However, the result of this double sword attack was beyond Nakamura Hanjiro's surprise. The guy in front of him actually took the sword with all his strength, although it was a bit reluctant, and Zhang Heng saw that the situation was not right. He also picked up the other ribs in time.
Only then did the back of the knife stop at the last moment before it bounced towards the shoulder.
But Zhang Heng on the other side was also a little surprised.
The effect of his persistence in fitness and exercise for such a long time is not in vain, especially modern people's diet is more scientific and their nutrition is more balanced. Their physical fitness is much stronger than that of people more than a hundred years ago. Therefore, Zhang Heng's foundation after entering the dungeon The data is dominant most of the time, and it is rare to encounter an opponent who can actually suppress him in terms of strength.
Of course, this may be due to the fact that he has experienced a fierce battle before and his physical strength has been somewhat depleted, but on the other hand, he also has to admit that Nakamura Hanjiro's ten years of sword skills are not in vain. Stronger than any opponent he had faced before.
However, Zhang Heng was not panicked. The more powerful the enemy, the more valuable he is to study, and the better he can sharpen his sword skills. To explain it from the perspective of the game, bosses and elite monsters are always better than small soldiers. Provide more experience points.
Zhang Heng has chosen so many dojos before, but he has not gained as much as he did tonight. What he has to do next is to swallow this last experience gift pack and go home to digest it slowly.
Realizing that he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Zhang Heng decisively changed the way he fought. Not only did he start to move, but his steps also became more active, as if he was planning to fight.
This kind of behavior is extremely unwise in the eyes of Nakamura Hanjiro. Through the knife just now, Nakamura Hanjiro also saw the impact of continuous high-intensity fighting on Zhang Heng's body, not to mention the latter's body. There are many wounds, and the situation is not optimistic if we really want to fight a war of attrition.
In fact, the two of them fought several times with swords, and Zhang Heng used his strength to retreat. He then raised the knife in his hand to his eyes and looked at the large and small gaps on the blade in the moonlight.
Although the katana in his hand is not a treasure at the level of the Five Swords in the World, it is not bad. In the previous battle at Tea House, there were not so many gaps in the sword, but he only fought with Nakamura Hanjiro for less than ten swords, and it turned out to be another one. With nearly half of the gaps left, it can only be said that the Shujumaru Tsuneji in Nakamura Hanjiro's hand is too sharp.
