Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Having succeeded in one strike, the subsequent attacks continued relentlessly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi charged left and right, his smile unrestrained and arrogant. His two Onikiri swords were like venomous snakes, each strike aimed at Miyagawa Isamu's vital points.

Having lost the initiative, the wounded Miyagawa Isamu was no longer able to parry as easily as before. His injured arm trembled as he held the knife in one hand, dealing with Uesugi Kiyoshi's increased lightning blade attacks. He was like a lone boat in a storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Although the book is long, it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

In a single exchange, the commander of the Shinsengumi was wounded and brutally beaten by a teenager, on the verge of dying under the sword of Onikiri.

The Shinsengumi swordsmen seemed to only then realize what was happening, their eyes blazing with fury as they shouted and tried to rush to their rescue with their swords.

For a moment, the clanging of swords being drawn filled the air.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was watching the show with great interest, but in fact he had already made preparations for a rescue.

He knew that Uesugi Kiyoshi was "strong", but he knew even more about Miyagawa Isamu's "strong".

That was a swordsman at the peak of his life, and also a linker of heroic spirits. Over the decades, countless demons and superhumans had fallen at his hands. He was the banner of the Shinsengumi.

What he never expected was that over the years, while Miyagawa Isamu had shone as a politician as the head of the Shinsengumi, his swordsmanship had become rusty.

His strength is not a problem; he can still command Mibu Wolves to expel demons and suppress Kyoto. However, his own swordsmanship has probably long been tarnished.

Furthermore, the resounding words spoken by Uesugi Kiyoshi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke had just made his beliefs waver slightly.

Even the slightest wavering can be fatal.

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole; a swordsman's defeat begins with a wavering of faith.

The Shinsengumi swordsmen made their move. Uesugi Kiyoshi was in a superior position, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke naturally couldn't let them gang up on his "boss" like that.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa adjusted his top hat with his bandaged hand and muttered to himself.

"What? Even Miyagawa Isamu is no match for Uesugi?"

"Are you kidding me? This is one of the Five Great Swords of Japan, on par with Uesugi's teacher, and the head swordsman of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school!"

"."

"You should have said so earlier! If you had said you were this capable, why would I have bothered to flatter those rich young masters and noblemen!"

"tsk"

"We've never fought such a rich battle before. Hey, not bad, not bad. Looks like we won't have to bow down to those arrogant officials anymore."

While muttering to himself, Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't stop working.

He slammed his black jade cane on the floor, his expression turning solemn, then somewhat manic.

"You small fry should just do your job and watch from the sidelines. How dare you interfere in a battle of that level?!"

"Although I didn't bring anyone with me, I am still the president of the Collectors Association."

"Isn't your behavior...?"

"You don't take me seriously?"

"Rashomon!"

With a low shout, the entire building began to pulsate rhythmically.

The wooden floor cracked, revealing dull, gray rock beneath, from which a tall, wide gate rose, separating the battlefield.

The ancient city gate gleamed with a deep, dim light, and as Ryunosuke Akutagawa waved his cane, the gate opened wide.

Completely black, like a wild beast unleashed from its cage, a chilling atmosphere spread silently.

The "Rashomon Beasts" swarmed out in droves, slowly surrounding the Shinsengumi swordsmen.

Their movements were synchronized, their blood-red pupils gleaming with a blinding crimson light, like well-trained soldiers, completely turning the tide of the battle.

The collector "Rashomon" is best known for his ability to fight against overwhelming odds and defend against enemies from afar.

All of this was observed by Miyagawa Isamu.

An unprecedented sense of crisis raged in my heart.

When did the Shinsengumi get forced into this situation?

This is Kyoto! This is our own territory!

The opponents are nothing but ignorant brats!

Miyagawa Isamu finally seized a moment to catch his breath, and despite taking another blow to his left leg, he slashed his wakizashi horizontally into Uesugi Kiyoshi's chest.

Despite the protection of the Oni-bei, Uesugi Kiyoshi was not injured by the sword, but the force of the blow still penetrated into his chest, causing him to feel dizzy and his attack to falter.

When he came to his senses, he saw Miyagawa Isamu making a sword-finger gesture in his hand and muttering incantations.

After listening to a few words, Uesugi Kiyoshi understood.

They can't beat them, so they're calling for reinforcements.

Chapter 339 Okita

Miyagawa Isamu started calling for reinforcements, which didn't surprise Uesugi Kiyoshi at all.

This is Kyoto, the headquarters of the Shinsengumi, so it's impossible for only one commander to be stationed here.

In fact, according to the association's intelligence, apart from the regular rotations, the Shinsengumi will ensure that at least five squads are stationed in Kyoto.

These five squads each have more than ten Linkers who are presentable, plus some cultivators and swordsmen they recruited, as well as high-ranking members. There are over a hundred extraordinary individuals in Kyoto who can be dispatched by Miyagawa Isamu.

This is not a small amount.

Within the Collectors Association, there are fewer than twenty extraordinary individuals who can be directly commanded by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Therefore, Miyagawa Isamu did indeed have the confidence to look down on the Collectors Association, if Uesugi Kiyoshi hadn't suddenly appeared.

"Oh? Commander-in-Chief Miyagawa, calling for reinforcements?"

"Ha, if all the squad leaders in your Shinsengumi are as capable as that Matsubara Tadara just now, then you might as well save your energy and not send them to their deaths."

"Don't think I wouldn't dare to kill someone!"

Miyagawa Isamu's breathing was somewhat heavy, but his wounds began to heal strangely, his flesh began to writhe, and granulation tissue intertwined together.

For cultivators at the Sword Master realm, their physical regeneration ability has completely surpassed the limits of the human body, so this level of knife wound is not fatal.

"The Shinsengumi's military support is not just me alone."

"It's not just your master who has disciples; I have disciples too. Since you're determined to turn against us completely, don't blame me for using numbers to bully the weak!"

"Okita!"

Miyagawa Yu shouted, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of bricks scraping together.

The room they were currently in was underground. These kinds of transactions wouldn't be conducted openly by the gangs, so underground was a good alternative.

This underground room, having endured Uesugi Kiyoshi's demonic hand, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Rashomon, and this battle of swordsmen, is already somewhat overburdened.

Miyagawa Isamu's cry for help was the final straw.

The ceiling shattered inch by inch, and a huge hole suddenly appeared.

Obscured by dust and smoke, Uesugi Kiyoshi could sense a sharp sword aura rapidly approaching.

"Okita."

"Okita Souji, the captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi?"

This thought naturally came to Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.

The Shinsengumi at the end of the Edo period had three great swordsmen who were all disciples of the same school, the Tennen Rishin-ryu.

Opinions vary on who is stronger or weaker, but the most famous is not Kondo Isami, the leader of the Shinsengumi, but Okita Souji, the captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi, the Shinsengumi's swordsmanship instructor, and a genius swordsman.

The more widely known a spirit is, the stronger its abilities become.

The sword light that was about to strike did indeed send a chill down Uesugi Kiyoshi's spine.

He was about to raise his sword to parry—although his vision was obscured by dust, he could roughly determine the enemy's sword path by listening to the sound and the killing intent.

However, before that, a sharp shout, coming from behind but arriving first, was faster than her.

"Damn it. Stay away from the master!"

Immediately afterwards, a dense aura of demonic energy erupted, further muddying the already murky air.

But Uesugi Kiyoshi recognized the voice as that of Azuma Maki.

To be honest, she did receive Uesugi Kiyoshi's summons and rushed here immediately. However, she had been guarding the back door. She probably discovered that someone had broken in with the intention of harming Uesugi Kiyoshi, so she angrily drew her sword.

A familiar aura of Uesugi Kiyoshi blocked his way.

The fluttering cherry-colored sleeves, like the fluttering wings of a beautiful butterfly, were captivating.

But beneath the beauty lies a chilling murderous intent.

The reverse-blade sword "Funechu" was tightly gripped in the kimono-clad girl's hand, and a crimson demonic aura spread along the blade, followed by a crisp metallic clang.

The two swords were placed together.

Maki Azuma is linked to the spirit of "Ryoma Sakamoto" and is skilled in "Hokushin Ittō-ryū".

Later, Uesugi Kiyoya taught her for a while. Perhaps because of the help of the demon soul of the demon sword princess, Azuma Maki made rapid progress in swordsmanship and became quite proficient in the Shinkage-ryu style.

She was frantic when she saw Sugi Kiyoshi being attacked, and involuntarily used her demonic energy, which she couldn't control at all. This made her look somewhat frightening, with a startling bloodlust in her beautiful eyes, and even the reverse-blade sword in her hand was crimson.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, however, felt that the face looked extremely familiar.

Just like the original "Achi".

He didn't just stand there in a daze. With a flick of his sleeve, the mirage broke through the smoke and dust, and the scene became clear again.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned slightly.

".woman?"

The girl who is currently vying with Maki Azuma is a girl of similar age.

Her face was delicate; though not stunningly beautiful, she was still quite pretty. Her short hair was neat and tidy, with a touch of cherry blossom in her bangs. Her not-so-tall body was taut and full of power. The katana in her hand looked to be of high quality, probably the work of a master craftsman.

Having failed in her first attack, the girl clicked her tongue, used the momentum to retreat, and stood in front of Miyagawa Yu, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi and Higashifumi Maki with a provocative expression.

"Sakura Okita, captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi, reporting for duty!"
