I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Step in, bend and stretch your upper body, and cut the knife vertically from bottom to top.

Another ninja was beheaded by Genichi.

Because Yuan Yi's speed was too fast, the ninja didn't have time to defend or counterattack until he was beheaded.

If someone with profound knowledge in swordsmanship came to watch Yuan Yi's two slashes just now, he might be shocked from ear to ear by the strength of Yuan Yi's two slashes just now.

Yuan Yi's 2 slashes just now were not so powerful.

It's just too precise.

Hit the enemy's vitals very precisely, and the force used is just enough to take away the enemy's life, neither too much nor too little.

This kind of extremely precise slash can not only kill the enemy with the highest efficiency, but also save one's physical strength to the greatest extent.

Hannosuke is naturally the kind of person who can understand how exquisite Genichi's swordsmanship is.

It's hard to describe Hannosuke's expression in words.

After seeing Genichi beheading two of his subordinates at an extremely fast speed that was completely different from just now, Hannosuke's pupils shrank suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and his jaw seemed to be about to fall off at any moment up.

Genichi is now focusing his energy and attention on dealing with the ninjas around him, so he didn't see Hannosuke's wonderful expression now.

Gen's foot slipped, and the ground creaked.

Dodging, dodging again, Yuan Yi's body flashed nimbly, dodging all the knives, sickles and shurikens thrown at him by the ninjas.

He rushed to the front and back of the two ninjas, dodged, and dodged again, Balrog's sword silently dodged twice, blood mist rose from the bodies of the two ninjas, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Genichi waved Yangshen and Yanrong in his hand, reaping the lives of one Iga ninja after another.

After a while, the formation that Hannosuke placed high hopes on was torn open by Genichi.

After forcibly tearing a hole in the formation, Genichi ignored the ninjas who were still in charge of melee combat, but followed the hole he tore open and rushed straight to a group standing outside the formation. A ninja with a sword in his hand.

The ninja standing at the outermost edge of the formation with a sickle in his hand naturally saw how Yuan Yi beheaded his companions one by one with a destructive force.

After seeing Yuan running straight towards him, he couldn't help but panic, and waved the lock sickle in his hand in a slightly messy posture, driving the sickle to cut towards Yuan Yi.

Genichi just turned his head to avoid the scythe flying towards him.

Getting close to the ninja, Yuan Yi didn't kill him with a knife.

Instead, use jujitsu to bring the ninja down.

While breaking the ninja's neck, he took away the ninja's sickle.

"The lock sickle hasn't been used for a long time."

After muttering like this, Yuanyi bit Yan Rong in his mouth, then swung the lock sickle with his left arm, and threw the sickle heavily towards another ninja who also used the lock sickle in the distance, and then precisely cut his neck.

Even though he is already a gray-haired old man, he obviously only uses one arm to drive the scythe, but the scythe thrown by Genichi is far better than the scythe thrown by these Iga ninjas in terms of strength, speed, and accuracy. sickle.

"Don't be afraid! Don't panic!" Hannosuke raised his voice, encouraging his subordinates who were still alive, "Don't panic! Surround him again!"

Hannosuke's encouragement is still effective.

After hearing Hannosuke's shouts, the ninjas who were already panicked regained a little composure.

But that didn't do much.

Restoring their composure doesn't help them defeat Genichi.

Genichi was still beheading their companions one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.

Soon, there were less than 8 Iga ninjas, including Hannosuke, who could still stand still.

As for these Iga ninjas who are still alive, their morale and fighting spirit naturally collapsed without a doubt.

The remaining people who are still alive are basically those who have just joined Hannosuke's command not long ago, or those who were not strong enough to fight, because those who were loyal to Iga or strong enough to fight, they all fought heroically just now. He rushed up to attack Yuan Yi, and was knocked down by Yuan Yi's sword.

Facing Genichi with overwhelming power, their fear of death still overwhelmed their loyalty to Iga.

Although Hannosuke was hoarse from shouting, and even swung a knife to kill a ninja who was trying to escape, he couldn't stop the rest of the people from fleeing.

In the end, only Hannosuke, Zennosuke, and Shinnosuke remained in place.

The three of them, headed by Hannosuke, are all survivors of the destruction of Iga no Sato 3 years ago.

The three old men stared at Genichi who was walking towards them with a knife.

His eyes were full of anger, astonishment and shock.

"Your subordinates are still very good." Yuan Yi said softly, "The skill is not bad, and the will to fight is not bad. Only a few people are left before they collapse. If it is another organization, I am afraid that they will be brought down by me. After half their companions, they scattered and fled."

After all, there are only a very small number of organizations that can fight to the death without retreating.

So just like what Genichi said just now, the performance of the Iga ninjas just now was considered very good, and more than 10 people were beaten to less than [-] people before they began to collapse.

Although the subordinates fled to death, the three survivors after the fall of Iga no Sato, led by Hannosuke, still stood firmly in place, without the slightest thought or action of intending to escape.

The three of them pulled out their ninja swords with dark faces.

"Kinoshita Genichi!" Hannosuke clenched the ninja sword in his hand and roared at Genichi, "Why? Why are you always the only one special?!"

There was a hint of crying in Hannosuke's voice.

"Obviously you are already a white-haired old man, but you still have such a strong power!"

"why?!"

"Why are you always the most special one?!"

Speaking of this, Hannosuke's eyes began to turn slightly red.

As of less than a stick of incense, Hannosuke is still full of confidence in his subordinates and their formation. He firmly believes that this time he will be able to kill Genichi Kinoshita, and draw a picture of this 40-year-old enmity. The last full stop.

No matter how strong a person is, his body will still start to weaken with age. Hannosuke doesn't believe that they can't handle Genichi Kinoshita who is so old that he doesn't even have a single black hair.

However, after only a stick of incense, Hannosuke's self-confidence was completely smashed by Genichi with his two knives.

Hannosuke felt very angry and unwilling.

He doesn't understand why Yuan Yi has such a strong power at this age.

After Hannosuke passed the threshold of 60 years old, they began to be unable to do things like swinging knives.

The agility of the footsteps has also been greatly weakened, not only is the speed slow, but also often makes such low-level mistakes as the left foot tripping over the right foot.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was no longer in good shape, Hannosuke and the others wouldn't have been standing at the outermost edge of the formation, leaving the heavy responsibility of killing Genichi to their subordinates.

So Hannosuke was not reconciled.

I feel extremely dissatisfied that Yuanyi will always be a special one.

40 years ago, Hannosuke witnessed Genichi, who was in full bloom at the time, fighting with his own eyes.

Genichi, who was only 24 years old at the time, showed a strength far beyond his peers.

Now that Yuanyi is 64 years old, he is still far ahead of his peers.

People of the same age like Hannosuke are too old to hold a knife steadily, but Genichi's footsteps are still agile, and his slashes are still sharp.

This strong unwillingness made Hannosuke's eyes turn red involuntarily, and a crying voice appeared in his voice.

As soon as Hannosuke's cry fell, the expressionless Genichi said quietly without thinking:

"Because I haven't aged at all."

After finishing speaking, Yuanyi turned into an afterimage again.

The three Hannosuke, who are too old to hold a knife, naturally have no chance of winning.

The three of them knew that they had no chance of winning.

But they still chose to fight Yuan Yi to the end.

While letting out an angry howl as if he was going to vent the anger that had accumulated in his chest for 40 years, he swung his knife and greeted Yuan Yi who was rushing towards them.

The knives of the three of them couldn't even touch Katagenichi's clothes, so they were hit by three knives.

When Hannosuke and the others fell down, they still stared at Genichi with eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Until he died, he kept staring at Genichi.

This appearance seems to want to keep Yuan Yi's face firmly in his eyes, and then go to hell with the memory of Yuan Yi's face.

Minamoto and Hannosuke didn't care about their behavior of glaring at him before they died.

After all, he has long been used to it.

"Okay." Yuan Yi heaved a sigh of relief while retracting the knife, "Where are Xiaolin and the others going now?"

Yuanyi turned his gaze to the direction where Lin and the others left just now.

However, just when Yuan Yi was about to set off to chase after Lin and the others, he suddenly heard a series of slow footsteps coming from behind him.

Following the prestige, Yuan Yi frowned involuntarily at the figure that appeared in Yuan Yi's eyes.

"Flame Demon?"

"Genichi, am I right? As long as I see you, nothing good will happen. I just left Shiranui for half a day, and Shiranui has been tossed by you into what it is now."

The figure approaching from behind Yuanyi and walking slowly towards Yuanyi is the Balrog.

Wearing a pair of newly purchased hats on his head, the Balrog stopped when he was about 10 steps away from Genichi.

The words that the Balrog said to him in the early morning of this morning still ring in Yuan Yi's ears.

Frowning, he looked Balrog up and down for a while, Yuan Yi asked in a deep voice:

"What are you doing when you come back? Didn't you say that you no longer plan to be the Balrog in Shiranui, and no longer care about anything in Shiranui?"

There was some confusion in Yuan Yi's tone.

I don't understand what the Balrog is doing now that he is back.

"yes"

Balrog's face was expressionless, and his tone was very light.

"I did tell you that"

"And in essence, I did."

"Just now, I have bought all the items for the journey, bought the dry food for the road, and actually walked on the way to leave Edo."

"I really want to leave Shiranui completely like this"

"But ah"

The Balrog slowly lowered his head.

The wide brim of the bamboo hat on his head covered his face, so Yuan couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Yuanyi, can you see it?"

"See those ghosts that haunt me"

"The Balrogs of the previous generation, my former partners, their faces full of expectations for me, keep appearing in my mind."

"The promises I made to them to revitalize Shiranui also echoed in my mind over and over again."

"I don't want to remember that."

"But the more I try not to think about it myself, the more frequently these memories appear."

"When I came back to my senses"

The Balrog raised his head again.

"I'm already back here"

The Balrog's face was no longer as expressionless as before, but showed a bitter expression.

But in this bitter expression, the Balrog's eyes gradually burst into a light called "firmness".

Balrog raised his hand, untied the hat on his head, and continued to speak.

"The revitalization of Shiranui, it is the previous generation of Balrog, it is our long-cherished wish of Shiranui."

"I really have no way to completely abandon this long-cherished wish that has lasted for 200 years."

Balrog smiled wryly.

The smile carries the indifference of abandoning everything and seeing through everything.

"I don't know, and I don't really want to know why you came to trouble me again this time."
