Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 247: The Demonic Monk and the Female Kunoichi
Before Ogata and Sarai could decide the winner -
Chikanosuke's residence, 3rd floor.
Atachi, who was holding the wakizashi and guarding the stairs, heard the shouting and screaming coming from the first floor gradually become smaller.
The sound of shouting and killing became smaller, which made Ating nervous. He began to guess what was happening on the battlefield on the first floor.
However, she didn't get nervous for too long before she heard Ogata shout:
"I have captured the enemy general Zuo Lai!!"
Ogata's shout was so loud that even Atachi and others on the third floor could hear it clearly.
Hearing Ogata's shout, Atachi's originally tense face relaxed a little.
From the change in the sound, it is not difficult to infer that Ogata and his men should have the upper hand on the battlefield on the first floor.
Chikanosuke also followed Atachi and stood guard at the stairs.
After hearing Ogata's shout, Chikanosuke excitedly said to Atachi beside him:
"Ms. Atachi! Lord Ogata and his men should be gaining the upper hand on the first floor, right?"
"It should be." Atachi smiled with a relaxed look, "Now that the general's head has been taken, the morale of the shogunate army should collapse soon."
After hearing what Atachi said, Chikanosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he hurriedly left the stairs and rushed to the rooms on the third floor.
He couldn't wait to convey this good news to the villagers who were hiding in the rooms on the third floor, so that the villagers who were already tortured by panic and fear could cheer up a little.
"Everyone!"
Chikanosuke casually opened the paper sliding door of a room where villagers were hiding, and shouted to everyone in the room.
"Lord Ogata and his men have already suppressed the shogunate army!"
Chikanosuke's shout made everyone hiding in the room look excited.
"Master Chikanosuke! Is this true?"
"Great... Are we saved..."
"It's unbelievable... They are so small that they can defeat nearly a hundred soldiers of the shogunate army..."
…
Chikanosuke did not listen carefully to the cheers and sighs of the people hiding in the room.
Because he was anxious to convey the good news to people in other rooms.
After looking at the people in the room with different expressions with a smile on his face, Chikanosuke turned and left...
However - he had just turned around when a loud noise suddenly came from the window of the room.
Chikanosuke and the villagers hiding in the room all looked towards the window in surprise.
The windows that were once intact have now turned into piles of debris, scattered inside or outside the room.
A sturdy man holding a naginata, over 7 feet tall and wearing monk's robes, stood in front of the broken window.
The sturdy man glanced at Chikanosuke and others in the room, turned his neck, and made a teeth -grinding "crack" and "crack" sound.
"I heard the voices of elderly people and children on the third floor, so I climbed up to take a look."
"I didn't expect there would actually be old people and children here..."
A ferocious smile appeared on the sturdy man's face.
"That's great! It's worth all the effort I put into beheading the 30 soldiers blocking the way on the wooden wall, and all the effort I put into climbing so high up."
Having said that, the strong man didn't say anything more.
He swung the naginata in his hand and slashed at the young man closest to him.
The naginata in his hand seemed to have just been wiped.
The blade was extremely clean, and in the dim candlelight, the bright, snow-white blade emitted a captivating cold light.
However, soon - the originally snow-white blade was stained with a thick layer of blood.
The sturdy man's blow directly smashed the poor young man's head.
The blade was stained with a lot of blood, and the light reflected by it under the candlelight had a strange color.
After beheading the poor young man, the sturdy man swung the naginata in his hand again without any hesitation or pause, and cut a villager on the other side in half.
It was not until this tall , giant-like man killed two people at an extremely fast speed that the other people in the room finally realized what was happening and screamed, rushing out of the room desperately.
"Don't even think about running!"
The sturdy man laughed loudly , waving the naginata in his hand that was still dripping with blood, and rushed towards the villagers who were rushing out of the house.
He looked like a carnivore that had smelled blood and had been hungry for a long time, rushing towards its prey with excitement and impatience.
Chikanosuke was the person closest to the entrance of the room, but he was not the first to escape.
Instead, he turned his body to the side and stood outside the room, directing everyone in the room not to crowd and to leave the room in an orderly manner.
It’s a pity that there are too many people in the room.
And this room is too narrow.
Under Chikanosuke's command, the rest of the people escaped successfully, leaving only Chikanosuke himself.
This sturdy man, who was over 7 feet tall, only needed to take one step forward to easily catch up with Chinosuke who had not yet had time to escape.
The sturdy man caught up with him easily, swung the naginata in his hand and slashed at Chikanosuke.
Looking at the naginata coming towards him, Chikanosuke gritted his teeth and subconsciously dodged backwards.
laugh!
The sound of a blade cutting into flesh could be heard.
The sturdy man's naginata hit Chikanosuke.
But he did not kill Kinnosuke directly.
Because of Chikanosuke's crucial and timely dodge just now, the strong man's naginata did not kill Chikanosuke directly as he wished, but only cut a large wound on his left shoulder.
Although he did not die on the spot, the huge wound that was bleeding madly looked extremely scary.
"Oh?" The sturdy man raised his eyebrows, "You are lucky. You managed to dodge my knife."
Chikanosuke ignored the sturdy man's words, but covered the wound on his left shoulder with a painful look on his face and struggled to walk towards the door.
Because of his injuries, Chikanosuke couldn't even walk steadily.
The sturdy man behind him swung his naginata again...
Just as Chikanosuke was about to strike at Chikanosuke who was standing at the door of the room and had not yet rushed out of the room...
"Chikanosuke! Get down!"
A loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Hearing this loud shout, Chikanosuke was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground in time.
After Chikanosuke fell to the ground, a figure appeared standing outside the room.
Because of Chikanosuke's blocking, the burly man in the room did not see that someone had just come to the door and squatted, pointing a cannon into the room.
After Chikanosuke fell down and without the cover of Chikanosuke, the muzzle of the iron cannon was aimed directly at the burly man behind Chikanosuke.
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun pointed at him, the sturdy man's pupils suddenly shrank.
Then, as if it was a conditioned reflex, he jumped to the side with both feet.
Bang!
Almost at the critical moment, because the strong man jumped away in time, the cannonball did not hit his chest - but still hit his left shoulder.
The burning pain from his left shoulder made the sturdy man's already ferocious face even more terrifying.
The sturdy man looked towards the door.
The one squatting outside the door and shooting at him with a cannon was a beautiful girl.
After putting down the cannon in her hand that was still emitting smoke, the girl said in a deep voice to Chikanosuke who was still lying in front of her with a frightened look on his face:
"Chikanosuke...quickly take everyone down to the second floor."
"I'll hold this guy back..."
