A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 184 The pawns you planted, I'll make the first move for you.

"Huh, he's not injured? Interesting."

Taiyi landed, sizing up Jianxin as he steadily walked forward.

He took a step forward, and Kenshin took a step back; then he took another step forward, and then he took another step back.

A smile slowly crept up his lips, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. Taiichi was very interested in this character who had once been a prominent figure in the comics.

Yes, her eyes are firm, and her face is cute—firm in a cute way.

"It's just that you lack the scars that a man should have that makes you always look like a child."

Reach out and grasp the hilt of the Mortal Blade, then pull it out.

When Taiichi saw Kiyosato Akira, who was face down with a pool of blood on his chest, twitch again, his eye twitched involuntarily.

I'm sorry, I meant to drop the knife on the ground in front of you.

But don't worry, you'll feel this world again soon, you're welcome.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think he's strong enough to hurt me?"

Kenshin Himura held his swords in both hands, pointing the blades at Taichi with a wary expression, and said...

A samurai I've never seen before, with no information available, but very powerful.

There was no fluctuation of true energy on his body, but judging from the speed of his knife throw just now, it was even faster than I could sense... He is a formidable opponent!

Although the way he appeared surprised him, Kenshin still believed he could defeat his opponent.

After a year of training, his martial arts skills are now much stronger than before.

During this time, he also encountered samurai who, like himself, could use sword energy.

Whether in communication or in combat, he learned a lot of useful knowledge from his opponents thanks to his keen perception.

"Oh~" Taiyi sensed the rising fighting spirit emanating from Kenshin, as well as the true energy enveloping his body, and then revealed a look of sudden realization, exclaiming:

"In the end, it was I who influenced this world."

"That's true. How could a swordsman whose entire body is filled with true qi be injured by a warrior without true qi?"

In the original story, when Kenshin was assassinating Kiyosato Akira, who was also Yukishiro Tomoe's fiancé, he was slashed on the cheek by Kiyosato's attack.

After further explanation, he concluded that the opponent's swordsmanship was mediocre, and that the only reason he was able to injure him was due to an unwilling will to accept defeat.

Nodding, Taiichi finally adopted a serious expression.

As Taichi traced the spine of the Mortal Blade with his fingers, just as he had stroked the smooth, bony spine of Sakiri before, he raised the sword while his eyes followed the path of his fingers, finally settling on the blade.

"Under the bright moon, only two solitary figures."

Taiyi held the sword in his right hand, blade facing outward, resting it on his left shoulder. His forearm covered half of his face, revealing only his eyes, which possessed the will to cut through everything, as he coldly stared at Kenshin.

"Who are you? Judging from your attire, you don't seem to be a samurai from Kyoto."

Staring at the other person's red and white haori and the mourning bell worn on the collar, Kenshin spoke while pressing his retreating foot hard against the ground, ready to launch his powerful attack at any moment.

You mean this outfit?

Taiichi glanced down at his clothes, then pouted and looked at Douma, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof, resting his chin on his hand, and said:

"Who knows, this guy actually had one of my clothes hanging in his room, so he just grabbed it and wore it."

hey~

Doma grinned, his eyes flashing with iridescent colors, his glass-like pupils fixed on Taiichi.

"Alright, it seems you want to hide your identity."

"But if you try to stop me, you're just a lackey of the shogunate, a stubborn rock of the old era."

"Anyone who stands in the way of reform is my enemy."

"This knife will cut you all down."

"Remember, the man who killed you was Hisumura, a righteous reformer from the Choshu faction..."

"Battosai!"

boom!

Just as Kenshin had gathered his aura to its peak, before he could even make a move, he saw the tall, handsome warrior opposite him suddenly change his expression, appearing before him with an intense ferocity.

"Why so fast!"

"Still so fast~"

Kenshin's pupils contracted as he used his sword to block the Mortal Blade pressed against his own blade, his entire body instantly covered in goosebumps.

At the moment Taichi made his move, Doma's eyes lit up, and while he smiled and praised him, he kept recalling something.

No words were spoken, and no further discussion followed.

Under the cold gaze, Taiyi continued to wield his blade, which exuded a deathly aura, forcing Kenshin to retreat steadily.

He moved slowly, just like he would take a leisurely stroll in the street.

Despite being able to withstand the attacks, Kenshin felt incredibly frustrated and increasingly panicked.

What's going on?! Why is his knife so fast?! So cunning?!

The opponent did not use his true energy, but when he tried to mobilize his own true energy, he was always attacked from tricky angles just as he was about to do so, forcing him to defend himself with all his might, which caused him to have bad luck.

"Qi moves at will; your heart is the heart of the sword."

The voice came from Taiichi's mouth. Upon hearing this, Kenshin Himura suddenly had an epiphany and immediately reconnected his stagnant true energy.

What's going on? Is he teaching me?

Why would he do that? Wasn't he an enemy?

"How dare you lose focus during a fight? What are you thinking about?"

"You think I'm your companion? Someone who's teaching you?"

Using the momentum of deflecting the force, at the instant Kenshin unleashed his strike, Taiichi deflected the blades at the point of contact, then withdrew them one after the other. He then executed a sleight of hand, twisting the sword to pin the Mortal Blade beneath the opponent's blade, before continuing:

"I just feel that if I don't teach you something, you're really too incompetent!"

"How could I possibly tolerate a samurai of this caliber..."

"Having a great time!"

Swish!

In an instant, a cold glint appeared in Jianxin's eyes, startling him so much that his hair stood on end, and he instinctively leaned back to dodge.

But once he does that, he loses sight of his opponent and can no longer catch their next move.

Bang!

Taiyi, who was wielding his sword with one hand, then bent his left hand into a fist and slammed it down on Kenshin's abdomen.

Seeing his opponent curled up on the ground, coughing up blood like a shrimp, he shook his head, rotated the hilt of his knife into a reverse grip, and plunged it into the ground.

"you!"

The blade sliced ​​past my eyes, but instead of piercing my skull, it struck the ground.

Even so, Kenshin was shocked, but also felt a surge of anger.

How dare you humiliate me like this!

"Too slow! The speed of swinging the sword is slow, the circulation of true energy is slow, the progress of growth... is slow!"

Taiyi bent down and squatted in front of Kenshin, feeling rather disappointed:

"But since it was a pawn she set up, there must be some unknown reason behind it."

"Since that's the case, I'll naturally step in to help you get started quickly."

After saying this, Taiichi stretched out his index finger and poked Kenshin's cheek.

As his finger slid across the face, a wound appeared on Kenshin's face, and the glistening blood could not conceal the dazed look in his eyes.

"Right now, you don't make me feel the cohesion of Qianyang's will."

"I want to see these things in you the next time we meet."

"If you can't do that, then you..."

"Die."

After saying this, Tai stood up and nodded to Douma.

The latter immediately made a bored expression, as if there was no more good show to watch.

With a snap, the fingers were done.

The ice butterflies still fluttered, but the corpses of Taiichi, Doma, and Kiyosato Akira had long since disappeared.

"Damn it!"

Kenshin scrambled to his feet, clutching his bleeding cheek, his eyes blazing with fury, his hand gripping the sword trembling uncontrollably.

"No matter who you are, if we meet again, I will definitely kill you!"
