Chapter 178 Serizawa Duck: I've Had Enough of Living
"Him? Lord Katsura Kogoro, are you sure you're not joking?"
After scrutinizing him closely, a samurai turned and stared at him, his voice full of skepticism.
Not only him, but everyone else shared this idea.
Although the person was looking down, their age could be determined at a glance by their figure and exposed hands and feet.
Too small, too tender!
"Lord Katsura Kogoro, he... he's still just a child!"
The other samurai, after saying this, tilted his head back and covered his forehead with his hand.
This is ridiculous! To assassinate someone who can completely overpower a True Qi Warrior like Kiyokawa Hachiro, you think you can rely on a child?
Although assassinations in the past sometimes targeted women and children, those were always against ordinary people.
"You guys... really are something else."
Taking a deep breath, then pursing his lips, Katsura Kogoro sat up straight and continued in a deep voice:
"Kenshin, it seems our comrades have underestimated you a bit."
click!
call!
A cold glint accompanied by a gust of wind caused the candlelight in the corner to suddenly go out, even though the lantern's outer casing was completely undamaged.
clap clap clap...
Applause erupted in the darkness. After someone relit the candle, they noticed the broken wick lying on the ground and immediately turned around in surprise, excitedly saying:
"How...how did they do that?!"
"Good heavens, is this kid also a True Qi Warrior?"
"That's fantastic! To be a True Qi Warrior at such a young age, his future is truly limitless!"
Praise surrounded Kenshin, who was nearly sixteen years old, but he remained unmoved.
He stood up, twirled his sword, and the sound of the blade scraping against the scabbard as it was sheathed rang out.
With long red hair obscuring her face, Kenshin, still keeping his head down, answered in a clear, youthful voice tinged with a hint of arrogance:
"I don't know anything about true qi. What I use is the sword qi of the Flying Sky Sword Style!"
Another round of applause followed, and upon hearing such a response, Kenshin felt a surge of pride.
Master, do you see? My swordsmanship has been recognized by everyone!
I will definitely surpass you, and even surpass that traitor who betrayed our sect!
Kenshin's master is the thirteenth generation Hiko Seijuro.
Prior to this, during the twelfth generation, there was a traitorous samurai who betrayed his master and joined another sect.
Mackenyu Takatsu, a swordsman of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu school who abandoned his human identity and became a demon.
He is a disgrace to this profession, and a disgrace to humanity.
"Assassinating a True Qi Warrior is no challenge at all."
"My goal is to one day wipe out all these monsters."
Because of Taiyi, history has changed in many ways.
It could also be a crossover anime world, but in any case, the current Kenshin Himura is only thinking about how to kill the cannibals.
If Taiichi knew what he was thinking right now, I wonder what his expression would be.
A series of thumping sounds rang out, and as Katsura Kogoro tapped the table with his index finger, everyone's attention shifted back to him.
"As everyone has seen, Kenshin's strength is no less than that of a True Qi Warrior, and may even be stronger."
"In this day and age, respecting the emperor and expelling the barbarians is an inevitable trend, and no one can stop the wheels of history."
"If anyone tries to stop him, then he..."
"They will inevitably be crushed by the wheels of history and drowned by the torrent of history!"
After he finished speaking, everyone present sat up straight and looked at him with serious expressions.
Then everyone lowered their heads and shouted.
"Hi!"
......
Another period of time passed.
Kondo Isami, Serizawa Kamo, and others who remained in Kyoto did not disappoint Matsudaira Yasutaka's expectations of them.
Without financial support, Serizawa Kamo fully utilized his bandit-like qualities, constantly extorting merchants and spontaneously organizing people to maintain order, which earned the recognition of many nobles in Kyoto.
"Hey, did you hear? Serizawa Kamo went and extorted money from a businessman again today."
"Not only that, he took the dirty money he got and immediately went to Shimabara!"
The younger Todo Heisuke and Okita Souji sighed repeatedly upon hearing the news.
However, Yamanami Keisuke, standing to the side, had a somewhat unfocused look in his eyes after hearing the name Shimabara.
"Hey!" The tall and imposing Kondo Isami nudged Yamanami Keisuke with his shoulder and said with a wicked grin:
"What are you thinking about? Are you still savoring the feeling of being embraced by Mingli?"
"What are you talking about! Really!"
Yamanami Keisuke blushed for the first time, but the next second, the alluring figure of Shimabara geisha Akari reappeared in his mind.
"Still denying it? I can see you're aroused!"
"It's enough!"
Kondo Isami grinned wickedly, then reached out and grabbed at Yamanami Keisuke's crotch.
However, as fellow martial artists with true qi, they could detect such slow movements instantly.
With his face flushed and back hunched, Yamanami Keisuke glared angrily at Kondo Isami.
If he could, he would have loved to draw his sword and teach this rude guy a lesson the very next second.
Who is Mingli?
Saito Hajime, who had just joined them and came from Edo, sported a slicked-back hairstyle with a wisp of hair on his forehead, and was looking at everyone with a bewildered expression.
Kondo Isami, who had grown a full beard, patted him on the shoulder with a laugh and changed the subject at the right moment.
"Kyoto has been quite turbulent lately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him immediately stopped laughing and became serious.
"You mean that newly emerged Battosai?"
Okita Souji narrowed his eyes, and his left hand, which was holding the sword, unconsciously tightened.
"It's not just him."
Kondo Isami sighed, and after composing himself, he frowned as he surveyed his surroundings before speaking:
"That Taihao Sect Leader of the Holy Sun Sect has also killed a lot of warriors recently."
"Originally a sect that spread blessings, now the mere mention of them makes the people of Kyoto tremble!"
After Kondo finished speaking, the others also froze.
Maintaining order in Kyoto, though a spontaneous activity, has always been carried out very well.
Basically, there's no area in Kyoto that they can't govern, except for the Imperial Palace.
While neither the Emperor nor the Kyoto Guardian has yet issued formal awards for these actions, they outwardly show strong support for them.
But there was one place they dared not manage.
That is the Huan Yao Sheng Yang Sect, which lives in Mibu Village with them and has the largest mansion.
The followers and priestesses were all ordinary people, but the one who never spoke was the cult leader, the samurai who killed Kiyokawa Hachiro in the street, and that was what terrified them the most.
"It's like hell!"
Kondo Isami shook his head and sighed.
"Hey, who can argue with that? He could have easily subdued him, but I don't know what Taihao was thinking, insisting on cutting him into several pieces!"
The thought of the bloody scene sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"But I heard that the actions of the Holy Sun Cult have already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Kyoto Guardian, and Serizawa Kamo has been sent to deal with them."
"Huh? This is suicide!"
