I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 824 Qing Deng's Senior Brother: Yamada Asaemon Katsumi [4300]

The battle unfolded so quickly, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

It is no exaggeration to describe what happened next as "lightning fast".

At the moment when Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade was two inches in front of Prajna's nose, he showed incredible speed! He took a wrong step and moved out of Souji's slashing range.

Although he dodged the fatal blow, he was not unharmed - the tip of Kaga Kiyomizu's knife left a long wound on his cheek.

At first, the wound was not noticeable.

But in the blink of an eye, it became darker and redder, and finally bloomed like a shell, oozing bright blood beads.

Prajna raised her hand and touched the wound on her face, then looked at her fingertips stained with blood.

“You’re awesome…!”

A smile appeared on his cheeks again.

This time, he smiled even more happily, with a look of pure surprise on his face.

"My sheath can't even stop your sword... This is the first time I've met a woman as strong as you!"

"No wonder you were able to defeat Katsura Kogoro."

"I heard that there is a talented female swordsman named 'Okita Souji' in the Shinsengumi. Is that you?"

Although he used the sentence structure of a question, his tone was that of an affirmative sentence.

It seems that he has confirmed the identity of the general manager.

"Ha, I'm actually beginning to feel lucky to be Katsura Kogoro's bodyguard."

"Thanks to him, I will have a very pleasant night!"

After saying that, he held the scabbarded sword in his hand across his chest, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand. With a clang, the blade popped out of the scabbard in an instant, emitting a sharp and dazzling light!

The creepy knife light wandered in the air, and on the mirror-like clear blade, Prajna's face, which was "squeezed" due to refraction, emerged.

Seeing that this guy finally drew his sword, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi both held their breath and tensed every nerve in their bodies.

Accompanied by the clanging sound of the sword being slowly drawn, Prajna said in a joyful and encouraging voice:

"Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, here I go!"

The shout ends and the blade sounds!

Without a running start, he leaped up like an onion from dry land and flew over in one breath!

In the blink of an eye, his sword, which was powered by his body weight and falling potential energy, had fallen above Souji's head.

Souji did not choose to take the attack head-on, but instead stepped back and dodged the attack.

Prajna did not throw away the sheath or hang it back on her waist.

He held the sword with his right hand and the sheath with his left hand - a "two-sword style" in which the sheath was used instead of the sword. This was the first time that Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi had seen this and they couldn't help but look surprised.

After her body fell to the ground, Prajna pounced on Souji without stopping and indomitable. She swung the sword in her right hand upwards, drawing a "crescent moon" shape, and slashed towards Souji with the humming of the blade.

However, at the moment he swung the sword, Souji had disappeared from where his sword was.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, he did catch a slight afterimage of the short ponytail swaying quickly out of the corner of his eye.

A moment later, Souji, who was in front of Prajna just now, appeared beside Prajna.

While dodging, Souji lowered his center of gravity, as if his whole body was almost touching the ground, and switched his stance to Kasumidan, with the tip of his sword pointing like a bull's horn at the vital point between Prajna's waist and abdomen, and he thrust the sword forward!

Such a ruthless move right at the start... It shows that the General Manager has made up his mind to "fight quickly and resolve the issue quickly".

Almost at the same time, Shinpachi Nagakura on the side also made a move.

Nagakura Shinpachi pounced forward, his body standing upright like a giant. He raised his hand, and with a whoosh, the tip of the knife pointed diagonally to the sky. Then, like a mountain falling down on one's head, he chopped down from the air and hit Prajna on the back of the head!
A stab, a slash, coming from different directions and at the same time... Faced with such a dangerous situation, Prajna twisted her body as if she was strolling in the garden.

He swung the sword in his right hand to deflect Souji's thrust; he raised the sheath in his left hand to block Nagakura Shinpachi's slash - these two actions were performed at the same time!

He resolved a crisis so easily.

Such a result was within the expectations of Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi - they did not think that they could defeat the monster in front of them with just such ordinary tricks.

After the attack was neutralized, they both raised dust with their heels and changed their positions to confuse Prajna and interfere with his judgment.

After witnessing the unfathomable strength of Prajna, the two came to the same conclusion - they must maintain the offensive! Disrupt this guy's rhythm! Force him to lose his composure!

When they panic, that’s your chance to win!
The General Directorate took the initiative to take on the important task of "confronting the challenge head-on".

Nagakura Shinpachi was wandering around on the side, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

It happened in a flash. With a "swoosh", one first heard the sound of metal hitting each other, and then heard the vibration in the air - Prajna blocked Souji's attack again.

Souji always paid attention to Prajna's gaze.

When Prajna glanced at Nagakura Shinpachi's actions, Souji attacked with a knife without hesitation and hit Prajna in the face.

But who would have thought that Prajna seemed to have grown several extra eyes, and even if her eyes were not looking at Souji, she could still clearly see his every move.

The sword in his right hand bounced up like a conditioned reflex, accurately blocking Souji's slash, and used force to counter force, sparks flying.

Shinpachi Nagakura's support was timely.

While Prajna was swinging her sword to block Souji's, Nagakura Shinpachi took advantage of the opportunity and stepped forward to attack. The blade made a loud noise and slashed Prajna's lower body from a tricky angle.

As soon as Nagakura Shinpachi raised his sword... Prajna once again demonstrated his extraordinary reaction and speed.

He was seen spinning his body like a top, and the sheath in his left hand drew a neat arc in the air with the help of centrifugal force, deflecting Shinpachi's sword.

At the same time, the right-handed knife in the other direction took advantage of the rotation direction and swept diagonally towards Souji's chest, forcing her back.

He easily resolved the attack from the two again.

The next moment, Prajna suddenly spread out his arms and his body began to spin again.

The blade slashed towards Souji at lightning speed.

The scabbard made a dull sound as it slammed into Nagakura Shinpachi's chest.

Although Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi dodged, before they could catch their breath, the next round of attacks came again...

The two wanted to disrupt Prajna's rhythm, making him tired of defending and unable to attack.

But before they knew it, the opponent gradually took control of the rhythm of the battle...!
Prajna's sword swinging speed is incredibly fast!

No matter how Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi attacked or swung their swords, Prajna's sword or sheath could always move to the most suitable position one step faster and block all their attacks.

Of course, compared to his slashing speed, his ability to “do two things at once” is even more amazing!

Because he realized that he could not defeat Souji with the sheath, he used the sword in his right hand to deal with Souji, and kept the sheath in his left hand to deal with Nagakura Shinpachi.

He was clearly trying to do two things at once, and was clearly taking on two top fighters of the Shinsengumi at the same time, but his two arms seemed to have "independent thinking", able to fight independently, identify danger, and automatically take defensive or offensive measures depending on the situation.

Both Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi felt that they were not fighting against one person, but more like fighting against two or even more people!

When it comes to the ability to "do two things at once", he is far superior to Chiba Michisaburo who developed the "Hokushin Two Swords Ryu"!
In this way, even though he was fighting one against two, he did not lose the upper hand at all! Instead, he gradually overwhelmed the two of them!
shhhhh!

Prajna staggered her steps, spun her body like a top, and forced the sword and sheath apart again with her rapidly swinging sword.

Because the movement was too violent, the top hat on his head shook slightly and then slipped down.

He quickly freed his left hand and straightened his hat.

"Oh no, my hat almost fell off."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to adjust his hat, he raised his eyes, and his gaze followed the brim of his hat, staring straight at Souji who was standing right in front of him.

"Is this the extent of 'Heavenly Sword' Okita Souji?"

As he spoke, he curled his lips, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"I thought that the talented female swordsman known as the 'First General of the Shinsengumi' would be more capable." "If you still have some hidden strength, or some special tricks or secrets that are extremely effective, just use them."

"Let me see more of the capabilities of the Heavenly Sword!"

At this point, Prajna seemed to remember something, was stunned for a moment, and then changed to a meaningful tone.

"Oh, yes, yes, I suddenly remembered."

"You seem to be Tachibana Aoto's wife, right?"

The chief replied in a cold tone:

"So what?"

Upon hearing this, Prajna straightened the hat on his head and his expression became strange.

"Well, in that case... then we are half relatives."

This simple sentence stunned Souji.

"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't remember having a relative like you who wears strange clothes."

Prajna smiled and shrugged.

"I'm not talking nonsense. If we look at it from the perspective of seniority, you are my sister-in-law."

The more Souji listened, the more confused he became.

Nagakura Shinpachi couldn't help but frown, a confused look of "What's going on?" appeared on his face.

"'Master's seniority'? When did our Tianran Lixin School have someone like you?"

This time it was Prajna who looked puzzled.

"Hmm? Didn't Tachibana Aoto mention me to you?"

Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi responded to his question with blank expressions.

Prajna narrowed his eyes—he seemed to realize something, and a cloud of gloom gathered between his cheeks.

However, he still asked again tentatively:
"My name is 'Yamada Asaemon Katsumi' - is it true that Tachibana Aoto never mentioned this name?"

Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi still looked confused.

However, when they heard the nickname "Yamada Asaemon", their expressions changed.

There was a hint of surprise in the general manager's tone:
"'Yamada Asaemon'? Are you from 'Yamada Asaemon'?"

In response to the question raised by Souji, Prajna did not answer.

"..."

He lowered his head silently and pulled down his hat.

Due to the brim of his hat, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi could not see his immediate expression.

"I see... didn't he tell you?"

"Did he deliberately not say anything, or...he doesn't know anything..."

At this moment, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi both lowered their faces and subconsciously clenched their swords - Prajna's aura suddenly changed! It was like a clear sky with no clouds in the sky turning into a cloudy sky with dark clouds!

"Well, if you don't know, then you don't know."

As Hannya spoke, she raised her head again and glanced at Souji, her eyes as cold as ice, with no expression on her face.

"Let me be frank with you. Although you are my sister-in-law, I will not show you mercy."

"You seem to be unable to believe that I am 'Yamada Asaemon'."

"In that case, I will let you see the real swordsmanship of the 'Executioner'!"

The moment he finished speaking, Prajna disappeared from the spot.

Souji's pupils shrank slightly, and he raised Kaga Kiyomizu in his hand like lightning.

clang! !

The steel knives hit each other heavily in the air.

Prajna suddenly appeared in front of Souji. He had hung the sheath in his left hand back to his waist, and instead used both hands to hold the knife. He aimed at Souji's crown and chopped it with his front hand!
The sharpness and destructive power contained in this attack must not be taken lightly!
Souji bit his teeth lightly and blocked the attack with brute force.

Prajna's attack did not stop and he immediately delivered the second knife.

At this time, Nagakura Shinpachi's support arrived, and his blade stretched out from the side to help Souji block the attack and deflect Prajna's sword.

Although it only took a split second, Souji had already taken advantage of this opportunity to regroup, raised his sword and rushed towards Prajna, and a fight ensued.

Nagakura Shinpachi followed.

In the empty corridor, the sound of metal clashing and the burning smell of blades clashing filled the air!

After abandoning the "one sword and one sheath" structure and switching to holding the sword with both hands, Prajna's swordsmanship changed dramatically in an instant!

In a nutshell - his knife is faster, more accurate, and more tricky!
The fact that he had lost a weapon did not make it difficult for him to cope with the attack from Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi. Instead, he became more at ease!

One round, two rounds, three rounds... Prajna's body flashed flexibly, and the rapidly swinging blade formed a "silver barrier" around her.

Any attack that approaches the barrier will be blocked.

Anyone who approaches this "barrier" will be attacked fiercely like a pack of wolves!

His knife would always come at you from incredible angles and at the speed of a meteor!
Moreover, the places he aimed at were places where if hit, the enemy would lose the ability to fight, or even die directly.

This naturally caused a huge increase in the psychological pressure on Souji and others!
They had to raise their senses to the highest level and be on guard against every attack from Prajna, not even daring to blink.

There were even several times when they were so nervous and over-focused that they forgot to breathe.

Soon, after only twenty rounds, Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi could only defend themselves and were unable to fight back.

Just at this moment, a whirlwind came - and a white blade suddenly flashed in the darkness!
A new blade appeared right beside Prajna.

The knife chopped towards Prajna's waist with the force of "sweeping through thousands of troops".

Although Prajna was startled by the sudden attack, he reacted quickly, somersaulted backwards and cleverly dodged the knife.

"Soji, Nagakura, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

In the darkness, a person walked out slowly.

After seeing the visitor's face clearly, Nagakura Shinpachi slightly raised the corners of his mouth:

"Saito, you guys are finally here...!"

Saito dragged the sword with one hand, and the tip of the sword made a "crackling" sound on the ground. He moved slowly to Souji's side.

Prajna raised her eyebrows, looked at Saito, and a look of joy reappeared on her face.

"Saito? Are you Saito Ichi?"

"Hahaha! What day is it today? I actually ran into the three greatest masters of the Shinsengumi at the same time!"

"So good!"

"Challenging Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Saito Hajime at the same time... this is a great honor!"

"Come on, everyone!"

"I will defeat you all!"
