I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Damn! Do you think we don't have knives?!" Muye yelled angrily, and took the knife thrown at him by one of his seniors.

After being caught off guard by Matsudaira Gennai's guards, the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym gradually started to fight back.

They retrieved the knives they had placed on the side of the dojo as quickly as possible.

Tonight was the night of a banquet, and the masters and apprentices of the Sakakibara Sword Gym put their knives on one side of the dojo.

Now at this time, I don't care which knife belongs to which person, so I just took all these knives away and distributed them to the brothers.

After catching the saber thrown by his senior brother, Makino drew the saber without any hesitation, and then slashed at a guard of Matsudaira Gennai in front of him.

Makino is full of anger now.

Tonight was supposed to be a night full of laughter...

Those tables filled with wine and meals are still lying quietly in a corner of the ashram.

In the end, because of the arrival of Matsudaira Gennai, the dojo that should have been full of laughter and laughter broke out in a bloody storm...

Perhaps because of his patience and resentment, every attack of Makino was extremely vicious.

In terms of momentum, he firmly suppressed the dog leg of Matsudaira Gennai in front of him.

And the guard who was fighting with Makino was not skilled at all.

Therefore - this guard with average skill and momentum suppressed by Makino was soon smashed to pieces by Makino.

Makino, who had successfully beheaded an enemy, had not had time to feel happy about his victory when a familiar scream drew all his attention away.

"Sawamura?"

Makino followed the prestige and found that the person who made the scream was none other than Sawamura.

Sawamura sat slumped on the ground at this moment, looking at the guard in front of him who had raised the knife in his hand with horror on his face.

"Stop it!"

Raising his throat, Makino let out a shrill scream, and rushed towards Zecun...

...

...

"...Sakakibara Hanbei." Qiyuan looked at the Hanbei standing in front of him with indifferent eyes, "I advise you to put down the sword. I have always heard about the owner of the Sakakibara Sword Gym You are a person who doesn't like violence, why are you so impulsive now, dare to point a knife at me?"

At this time, Hanbei held a knife in his hand, staring at Qiyuan in front of him, and Matsudaira Gennai who was firmly guarded by Qiyuan behind him.

"Then you really misheard my rumors." The half soldier with a gloomy face tightened the knife in his hand, "I really don't like violence, but when I have to, I will draw the knife!"

"And when my disciples are in trouble, it is the 'time of last resort'!"

"...Sakakibara Hanbei, you should be ashamed of having such an apprentice." Qiyuan glanced at Mikami, who had not moved, "If it wasn't because of your apprentice's attempt to assassinate the lord, then at least your Sakakihara Sword Gym Half of the disciples can still survive. You don't need to be forced to fight with a knife at a very old age like you are now."

"No!" As soon as Qiyuan finished speaking, Hanbei interrupted with a hoarse voice, "Mikami, he did a good job!"

"Instead of being played to death by you bastards like this, it's better to take the first step and kill this tyrant and you gang of eagle dogs!"

"Pay attention to your words." Qiyuan frowned, "Insulting the Lord—are you still a warrior?"

"Not only will I insult him, but I will also kill him!"

After finishing speaking, Hanbei kicked his hind legs and rushed towards Qiyuan in front of him.

Qiyuan firmly guarded Matsudaira Gennai's side, if he didn't kill Qiyuan first, he couldn't kill Matsudaira Gennai.

Qiyuan was in his prime, and his strength and physical strength were definitely higher than that of Banbei, who was already aging.

therefore,

Hanbei's strategy is simple - one hit kills.

He didn't compete with Qiyuan in strength, nor entered into a protracted battle with Qiyuan, but relied on his own footwork to get close, and then cut Qiyuan with a single knife.

Hanbei dodged his body to the side, to Qiyuan's left side.

While dodging to Qiyuan's side, he exerted force from his waist, using the waist as the axis, and transmitted the strength to his arms, and used his best sword skill - Dragon Tail towards Qiyuan's flank.

Hanbei thought he was moving quickly.

I thought Qiyuan would never be able to react.

However……

clang!

Qiyuan didn't even move her feet, she stood firmly on the spot, holding the sword in one hand, and turned the sword in her hand to her side, blocking the dragon's tail of Banbingwei.

"Sakakibara Hanbei, you are getting old. It's really embarrassing."

After leaving Hanbei whose pupils shrank because the attack was blocked, Qiyuan pushed forward and pushed Banbei away, making the distance between Hanbei and himself.

Then he changed to holding a knife with both hands, and slashed towards Hanbei's left shoulder...

Qiyuan used the cassock cut.

The blade was cut from Hanbei's left shoulder, and then from Hanbei's right belly...

The sharp blade cut Hanbei from his left shoulder all the way to his right abdomen, splitting Hanbei in two...

Qiyuan's expression didn't change after beheading Banbei with a single blow.

Silently took out the pocket paper, and while wiping the blood off the sword, looked around, vigilant whether there were other enemies approaching him and Matsudaira Gennai.

As for Matsudaira Gennai - after watching Qiyuan cut Hanbei in half with a single knife with great interest, he turned his head and looked at the dojo that was already splattered with blood.

There are hundreds of guards in Songping Yuannai.

And the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym only have more than 20 people...

The outcome of this battle was doomed from the beginning...

As time went by, the shouts became weaker and weaker.

Finally—the battle in the dojo is over.

All the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym... none of them are still standing.

Although the final victors of this melee were the guards of Matsudaira Gennai, they were not unscathed in this melee.

Due to the relatively crowded venue and dim light, more than ten people fell under the swords of the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym or their own people.

"awesome……"

Matsudaira Gennai, whose face was always quite pale, now had some strange blushes on his face.

"It's amazing..."

Matsudaira Gennai carefully looked at the dead bodies with different postures and expressions on the dojo floor.

This appearance, as if admiring some precious artwork.

While Gennai Matsudaira was admiring these "works of art" in his eyes, Qiyuan standing beside him suddenly frowned and said:

"...I thought all the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym were here, but there was one missing."

"One person is missing? Who?" Matsudaira Genuai asked.

"I remember...it seems to be called Ogata Yishi." Qiyuan said, looking at the hair of each dead body on the floor one by one, "According to rumors——he is a man who does not shave his head. The young samurai here, there is no one here who does not leave Tsukiyo, so that Ogata Yasushi should not be here."
