Volume 8: Ittosai Chapter 681: As a female ninja and the heroine, it is reasonable to use a musket to sneak attack the boss
"besides!"
Chuguang’s reminders continue.
"Both of them have gained !"
"Be careful! Don't be careless just because one of them is an old man and the other is a woman!"
Chu Guang had no idea who this old man with two swords and this young man with glasses were.
She only knew that these two people were not friends of Jijiu and Mrs. Lao.
And that is enough.
As long as these people could help kill Jijiu and Lao Furen, Chu Guang didn't care who they were.
Immortal body - this word made the pupils of Genichi and Mamiya shrink slightly, and then they looked at their current opponents with eyes mixed with emotions such as surprise and vigilance.
“Ah…” The branded woman’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like dark blue water would drip out at any moment. “Jiujiu, look at what your daughter has done!”
clang!
The woman holding the knife exerted force suddenly, and with a "clang" sound, she pushed Vairocana away from the palace.
In order to release the huge force coming back from the blade, Mamiya took two steps back. The branding woman seized this opportunity, temporarily ignoring Mamiya, and turned around like a ferocious demon, rushing towards Chuguang not far away.
She now had only one thought in mind - to chop this talkative little devil into pieces.
However, she had just taken two steps when she suddenly felt a surge of coldness behind her, as if a huge wave was crashing towards her.
The body reacted before the brain did - the woman suddenly turned her body, and using the centrifugal force brought by the rotation of her body, she swung her knife to meet the blade flashing with cold purple light that was approaching from behind her.
Vairocana's sword and the brandishing woman's sword collided heavily in mid-air again.
This time, Mamiya did not wrestle with Mrs. Lao again.
The two swords collided again in mid-air and then quickly separated.
Mamiya took a deep breath, then swung Vairocana like a wheel, slashing at the vital points on the woman's body from all directions.
Mamiya's slash was swift and powerful, but the brand woman's defense and counterattack were not slow at all.
The swords of the two men kept cutting through the surrounding air. The purple sword light and the two white sword lights kept crossing each other at a dizzying speed. The swords of the two men entangled together several times, making clear sounds of hitting each other.
Mamiya is the type who doesn't like to yell when fighting with others, but Lao Furen is the opposite.
"Hey! The one wearing glasses! Who are you?! Are you Ogata Ittosai's companions?!"
Facing the questioning of the branded woman, Mamiya ignored it.
He just kept looking at the two knives that the branded woman was holding in her hands and swinging around with a scrutinizing gaze.
"...Hey." Mamiya suddenly asked the branding woman, "Your two knives are pretty good."
"Oh?" The branded woman stuck out her scarlet tongue and licked her lips. "You have good taste! You can tell that my knife is not an ordinary one!"
"I'll introduce you to it!"
"The name of the katana is 'Ichi-no-kichi'! The name of the wakizashi is 'Ni-no-kichi'!"
"Remember the names of these two swords that are about to take your life!"
The attack of the brandy woman suddenly intensified a lot, forcing Mamiya, who was originally able to defend himself and launch a counterattack, to now only be able to defend himself.
Judging from the current battle situation, Mamiya has been suppressed by the fierce attack of the brandished woman, but Mamiya remains calm and composed, as if he does not care about the current predicament at all.
Not only did he look normal, he even had the leisure to mock the branding woman:
"Ichi-no-kichi... Ni-no-kichi... What an ugly name."
"ah?!"
The woman's eyes widened.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to criticize the name I gave my knife!"
A feeling of annoyance surged into the woman's eyes.
"Fuck you!"
After cursing, the woman changed her stance to an upper stance, raised both swords high, and chopped down hard at Mamiya's head.
Mamiya did not dodge backwards or to the side; he just stood there quietly.
He raised his eyes to glance at the knife that was about to chop towards his head, and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Bang!
Mamiya stomped his right foot hard on the wooden corridor beneath his feet.
The force was so great that the wooden board that Mamiya stepped on had several cracks.
Mamiya dodged the branding woman's blow with lightning speed.
At the moment of dodging, Mamiya's body slid forward.
The speed of his series of actions was far greater than the speed he had just displayed in his fight with the brandishing woman.
The speed was so fast that Mrs. Lao couldn't react quickly for a moment.
When Jianmiya passed by the side of the branded woman, the purple blade shook the atmosphere and purple cold light flashed in the air.
The blade of Vairocana slashed straight towards the woman's neck.
It was not until this moment that the branded woman finally came to her senses. She jumped to the side in panic, trying to avoid Mamiya's attack, which was obviously intended to "decapitate her directly."
As a result, Mrs. Lao escaped unharmed this time. Her timely reaction allowed her head to remain above her shoulders, and she dodged Mamiya's attack in time.
The tip of Vairocana's knife passed by the branded woman's neck.
Although Mamiya's attack did not successfully cut off the branded woman's head , he still achieved some results - he hit the branded woman's right shoulder.
The branded woman's head was saved, but her right shoulder was not spared. A large piece of flesh on her right shoulder was cut off and flew away.
"Ouch...!" A painful groan squeezed out from between the woman's clenched teeth, and her facial features were twisted into a knot.
She gritted her teeth, swung the wakizashi in her left hand to counterattack, and slashed at Mamiya.
The hasty counterattack launched by Mrs. Lao naturally had very limited effect. Mamiya nimbly jumped back several steps and avoided the counterattack.
Although he failed to take the life of the branded woman, there was no trace of shock or unwillingness on Mamiya's face.
He still had an expressionless look on his face. He jumped back several steps to avoid the counterattack of the branded woman, and said in a cold tone:
"Let me tell you the real names of these two knives."
"Striking the sword brings great relief to the heavens, and using the sword creates great freedom."
"I never thought... that man's sword would fall into your hands..."
When he saw the knife in the branding woman's hand for the first time, Mamiya recognized it immediately.
He recognized the sword in the man's hand as Ogata's swords - Daishakuten and Daijizai.
Prior to this , when exchanging information with Atachi and others, Mamiya had already learned that the swordsmith Yoji, who was commissioned by Ogata to repair swords, had been killed and all the swords in his home, including Ogata's Daishakuten and Daijizai, had disappeared.
At that time, when he learned the news, Mamiya was extremely pessimistic about whether he could successfully find Ogata's sword.
After all, God knows where Ogata's sword was taken. It might have been destroyed directly.
The development of worldly affairs is often so unexpected. Mamiya never expected that Ogata's sword could be both far away in the sky and right in front of him.
Mamiya originally thought that after hearing what he just said, the branding woman would say something like "Do you recognize these two knives of mine?"
But who would have thought that the woman said nothing.
Because Mrs. Lao didn't hear what Jian Gong had just said to her at all.
After Jian Gong cut off the flesh on the woman's right shoulder, the severe pain from her right shoulder was like electric currents, stimulating her brain.
The stimulation of these "electric currents" has caused the lady to ... enter a state of "losing her mind".
At this moment, there were no distracting thoughts in Mrs. Lao's mind.
I couldn't even hear the sounds outside.
There was only one thought in her mind now – I want to kill this person!!!
“You… bastard!!”
The whites of the branded woman's eyes were almost filled with red blood, and blue veins popped out from her forehead and neck.
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!!"
The right shoulder of the branded woman, where a large piece of flesh was missing, had just been oozing blood, but now it was no longer bleeding.
Immediately afterwards, red blood threads like earthworms emerged from the branded woman's wound.
The red blood threads continued to entangle and condense with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into new flesh and blood of the branded woman.
Looking at the branded woman's intact right shoulder, Mamiya's face sank slightly:
"I didn't expect that what the girl just said was actually true... Immortality?"
“Go to hell! Go to hell!!”
The brandishing woman suddenly lowered the two swords in her hands, making a strange posture with both swords at the lower section, and then, like a mad buffalo, she launched a straight charge towards Mamiya!
"Chop off her head, or inflict enough damage on her in a short period of time..."
Mamiya repeated in a low voice what Hatsumitsu had just told him about the weaknesses of Jijiu and the Lao woman , then turned his right wrist, made a knife flower, and then with the movement of holding the knife with the backhand, he sheathed Vairocana and lowered his body center of gravity -
clang!!
After the branded woman came into his attack range, Mamiya suddenly drew his sword and used his most proficient sword-drawing technique to meet the branded woman's charge.
The blade of Vairocana collided with the tips of the swords of Mahadeva and Mahadeva, and the sharp clanging sound made Mamiya feel a pain in his eardrums.
The power of the two just now collided and it was considered a draw. Mamiya and the lady of brand took two steps back at the same time.
——What a strong power…
Waves of numbness and soreness attacked the muscles of Mamiya's right arm.
——This person seems to have lost his mind. After losing his mind, his strength and speed have increased...
Before Mamiya had recovered from the soreness in his right arm, the woman who had become as resembling a Rakshasa or Prajna came again with her knife in hand to kill him.
Her hair, which had been neatly tied up, had come loose in the fierce fight with Mamiya, and her waist-length hair was now loose, floating and swaying with the movements of the branding woman.
The carelessly scattered long hair made the woman look even more terrifying.
Mamiya did not dare to show any contempt for the branded woman who had now transformed into a "berserker".
He exhaled all the foul air in his lungs, then clenched the Vairocana in his hand, silently enduring and dissolving the fierce attack of the Lao woman.
——At present... it can be confirmed that the swordsmanship used by this crazy woman is a self-created swordsmanship without any school or sect...
——Although the method used is unconventional, the level is very high.
——He is a very troublesome opponent...
After the confrontation with Lady Brand, Mamiya had been observing her, trying to devise the quickest way to defeat her based on her swordsmanship style.
Mamiya is also a man who has been through many battles. His rich combat experience allows him to tell whether a person has received formal martial arts training after just a few rounds of fighting.
At present, Mamiya has confirmed that the woman Lao has no sect or school, and her two-sword style is completely unconventional.
In battle, those who use unconventional methods are often more difficult to deal with than those who use formal styles.
Because you are completely unfamiliar with this person's unconventional ways.
The woman who was branded was one of these people.
However, although the methods used by Mrs. Lao were unconventional and difficult to figure out, Mamiya was not too afraid of her unconventional swordsmanship. What Mamiya was really afraid of was Mrs. Lao's strong physical fitness.
In terms of physical fitness, the woman with the "immortal power" in her body is superior to Jian Gong.
Although Mamiya managed to gain the upper hand in the battle with Mrs. Lao with his sword skills that were far superior to Mrs. Lao's, this slight advantage could not be converted into victory.
Keeping in mind what Chuguang had just said about Yoshihisa and the brand woman's weaknesses, Mamiya had been trying to attack the brand woman's head. However, although this crazy woman had lost her mind, she still knew how to protect her weaknesses.
The woman guarded her head tightly. No matter which direction Mamiya's knife chopped or stabbed at her head, she would defend or dodge in time.
If he continued to fight with the branded woman like this, Jianmiya was confident that he could defeat her with his swordsmanship which was far superior to hers. However, if he did so, by the time he defeated her, Jianmiya would have very little physical strength left.
——We must find a way to kill this crazy woman as soon as possible...
——Otherwise, if I delay any longer, my strength will be drained by the “selflessness state”…
The strange light that flashed deep in Yu Jianmiya's pupils flickered slightly a few times at this moment.
Crack, crack, crack!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his right eye, Mamiya caught a glimpse of two dark shadows approaching him rapidly from his right side.
They are two young men dressed as Iga ninjas.
Mamiya caught a glimpse of the two Iga ninjas running towards him, with their right hands holding something black raised high.
After taking a closer look, Mamiya saw clearly what the man was holding in his hand - three shurikens shining with a shiny metallic luster!
——Tsk, enemy reinforcements?
Mamiya's expression changed.
At the moment, he was completely focused on the fight with the brandy woman and no longer had the spare time to deal with a sudden attack.
But fortunately - Yoshihisa, Lao Furen and others have reinforcements, and so do Genichirō and Mamiya.
Crash!
Bang! Bang!
The sound of the iron chain swinging and the sound of a blunt object hitting a person's head rang out almost at the same time.
The two Iga ninjas who were about to attack Mamiya with shurikens groaned and fell forward.
The two men fell face down, revealing the backs of their heads that were beaten bloody. At the same time, a bald man standing behind them who was retrieving the flying chains was also exposed.
After hearing the sound of the chain swinging, Mamiya guessed who was coming.
The originally sullen face immediately broke into a smile.
"You arrived just in time!" Mamiya shouted.
"I'm not the only one who arrived in time." The bald man smiled slightly and corrected the fallacy in Mamiya's previous sentence.
Crack, crack, crack!
As soon as the bald man finished speaking, footsteps were heard from outside the room.
However, the one who entered the room this time was no longer the Iga ninja dressed in black.
Instead, they were faces that were very familiar to Mamiya.
Makimura, Asai, Shimada, Azuki.
“Ahaha!” Looking at Mucun and others who had rushed into the room, Mrs. Lao laughed arrogantly, “So many people have come! You’ve come just in time! Come all over here!! Come and chop them to your heart’s content!”
The branded woman raised the two swords in her hands high and roared at Mamiya, Makimura and the others at the top of her lungs.
"I'd better chop you to death first!!"
The brandished woman raised her arms, ready to continue attacking Jian Gong.
But at this moment, Ji Jiu's old and urgent warning suddenly drilled into the ears of the branded woman -
"Brand woman! There are musketeers! Get out of the way!"
The branded woman still retains some sanity.
After hearing Yoshikiu's warning... or rather, after hearing the word "Musketeer" in Yoshikiu's warning, the woman's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she jumped to the side as if instinctively reacting.
Bang!
At the same moment the brandished woman jumped to the side, a gunshot rang out from the beam in front of her left.
After the gunshot, the woman felt sharp pains coming from her left abdomen.
He lowered his eyes and saw a bloody bullet hole on the left side of his abdomen.
Looking in the direction where the gunshot came from - on the beam in front of the left side of the branded woman, there was a beautiful woman squatting with her back and arms bare, holding a musket in her hand and four muskets on her back.
