Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

It was a smile with a relaxed look.

Because Tani Sanjuro did not realize what was going to happen next, and did not realize that Goto Ichiri had already figured out a way to defend against his strongest attack.

Goto Ichiri did not block Tani Sanjuro's attack like he did before, but instead raised the two swords in his hands to block it.

Instead, he turned the thin green sword upside down and inserted it into the wooden floor under his feet. Then he stepped on the back of the sword that was already stuck upside down in the wooden floor with his right foot, lowered his body, and hid his entire body behind the sword.

Goto Ichiri's special posture made Tani Sanjuro's pupils widen.

After Goto Ichiri showed this posture, he instantly understood what Goto Ichiri was planning to do.

However... it was too late.

His knife had already been swung out and it was impossible to retract it.

clang! !

The sound of metal colliding was deafening.

Tani Sanjuro's large sword collided heavily with Goto Ichiri's thin green sword that was stuck upside down on the ground.

This time, Goto Ichiri did not retreat a single step.

Goto Ichiri, who stuck the thin green upside down on the ground, was actually turning the ground beneath his feet into his weapon.

With the help of the hard ground, Goto Ichiri also stepped his right foot on the back of the thin green knife, which was equivalent to putting all the weight of his body on the knife, strengthening his defensive power.

This was the defensive method that Goto Ichiri came up with on the spur of the moment when he took Tani Sanjuro's 11th blow.

Judging from the current actual combat situation, the results are impressive.

With this stance, Goto Ichiri successfully blocked Tani Sanjuro's strongest attack and all of "Windmill's" slashes.

Although this defensive posture is very tiring, Goto Ichiri felt that his right foot, which was supporting the back of the knife, was numb.

Tani Sanjuro's mouth was already open in shock.

Before he could recover from his shock, Goto Ichiri had already launched her counterattack.

Quickly pulling up the thin green plant stuck in the ground, Goto Ichiri rushed towards Tani Sanjuro like an arrow from a bow.

This was the counterattack opportunity that Goto Ichiri had been waiting for.

, just for this moment!

The reason why Goto Ichiri chose to take on Tani Sanjuro's "windmill".

On the one hand, it is difficult to avoid all the "windmills" by just stepping over them.

Another reason, which is also the main reason, is that after using the "windmill", Tani Sanjuro's body will have a big flaw because it has not yet recovered from the continuous rotation.

Previously, after witnessing Tani Sanjuro's 8-hit "Windmill", Goto Ichiri noticed this.

After using the "Windmill" to perform 8 consecutive kills, Tani Sanjuro staggered for 2 steps before he could steady himself.

An ordinary person might not notice this detail, but Goto Ichiri noticed it keenly and noticed Tani Sanjuro's huge weakness.

Therefore, after receiving the thin green and Izumi-no-kami Fujiwara Kanesada sent by Chihaya Aine, Goto Ichiri chose to take on Tani Sanjuro's complete version of "Windmill" just to take advantage of Tani Sanjuro's flaw.

And Goto Ichiri's judgment was not wrong. After completing 13 consecutive slashes, Tani Sanjuro's huge body staggered and shook because he had not yet recovered from the previous continuous slashes, revealing a huge flaw!

Without any unnecessary reservation, Goto Ichiri poured his strength into his feet and ran to Tani Sanjuro at his fastest speed.

He ran to the position where his knife could stab Tani Sanjuro!

Before Tani Sanjuro had time to adjust his body and his condition, despair appeared in his eyes.

laugh!

Goto Ichiri stabbed the thin green in his hand and the Izumi-no-kami Fujiwara Kanesada into Tani Sanjuro's chest.

The blades of the two swords pierced into Tani Sanjuro's chest and came out from his back.

"Wow!"

Tani Sanjuro spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

He turned the two swords in his hands, and after cutting open the muscles that were hurt by the blades due to the severe pain, Goto Ichiri suddenly pulled the two swords out of Tani Sanjuro's body, bringing out a splash of blood.

After Goto Ichiri pulled out the knife, Tani Sanjuro fell to the ground as if he could not bear the pain.

After pulling out the two swords, Goto Ichiri did not stop attacking, but raised the two swords high again, intending to finish off Tani Sanjuro in front of him.

However, at this moment, something changed suddenly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Tani Sanjuro suddenly roared, perhaps it was the desire to survive that was taking over, a powerful force suddenly burst out of his body, he suddenly jumped up, swung the large sword in his hand, and launched an extremely sharp downward chop at Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri's pupils shrank slightly, and Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada raised his left hand to meet the sword that was coming towards him.

clang!

"Hahahaha...come to hell with me!"

With his mouth full of blood, Tani Sanjuro let out a hideous laugh!

Although Goto Ichiri blocked Tani Sanjuro's downward attack, it was quite difficult.

With one foot half-kneeling on the ground, Tani Sanjuro's large sword was almost pressing against Goto Ichiri's neck, and it looked as if Goto Ichiri was carrying the blade of the large sword on his shoulder.

If Goto Ichiri had not used Izumi-no-kami Fujiwara Kanesada to defend himself in time, Goto Ichiri would have been beheaded.

"You're such a fool... If you had used two swords to block my attack just now, you might have been able to block it perfectly."

Although his voice was weak due to his injuries, Tani Sanjuro still mocked Goto Ichiri.

"I can't help it... After all, I have to keep one hand free to kill you."

As soon as Tani Sanjuro finished speaking, Goto Ichiri smiled slightly.

Volume 1: Chapter 227: Hidden Blade Ronin

When he heard what Goto Ichiri said, Tani Sanjuro's pupils suddenly shrank.

It was not until then that he realized that Goto Ichiri had put Bolu into the scabbard on his left waist at some point, and his right hand was on the hilt of Bolu.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Tani Sanjuro's face was now filled with panic. "Please, please spare my life..."

Before Tani Sanjuro could finish his words, a cold light flashed from the thin green scabbard.

The cold light swept from Tani Sanjuro's right abdomen to his left shoulder!

As Tani Sanjuro, who had turned into a bloody man, slowly fell to the ground, Goto Ichiri gently recited the move that he had just used to deal a fatal blow to Tani Sanjuro.

"Niten Ichiryu... Swift Wind Shot...!"

Tani Sanjuro, who collapsed limply to the ground, did not die immediately.

After falling to the ground, he still tried hard to stand up.

However, his injuries were too severe and it was impossible for him to stand up.

The huge wound that penetrated from the right abdomen to the left shoulder, coupled with the two penetrating wounds on his chest left by Goto Ichiri before, made it impossible for him to survive with such injuries.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

His mouth was full of blood foam and the words he uttered were unclear.

Goto Ichiri could only barely hear what Seiya Sanjuro was saying:

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

Tani Sanjuro's face and eyes were filled with fear.

He was afraid of the coming of death.

Tani Sanjuro struggled to get up, not wanting to die like this, and rolled around on the wooden floor like a maggot.

As for Goto Ichiri, she silently watched the struggle of Tani Sanjuro, who was afraid of death.

Tani Sanjuro didn't struggle for long.

After a while, his life force finally dissipated slowly as a large amount of blood flowed out.

After the system prompt sounded in his mind, Goto Ichiri looked at the body of Tani Sanjuro at his feet and said softly:

"How ridiculous... People who take pleasure in taking lives would actually be this scared when death is imminent..."

He swung the two swords in his hands downwards with force, shaking off all the blood on the blades, and then Goto Ichiri slowly put Urumi and Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada into their sheaths.

After the two swords were sheathed, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt fatigue coming over her like a tide, like a wet towel, instantly wrapping her body layer by layer.

I've been on edge tonight.

During the life-and-death duel with Tani Sanjuro, every nerve in Goto Ichiri's body was stretched to the extreme, and his attention and concentration were focused to the highest level.

Although his whole body was tense and he devoted himself to the battle, Goto Ichiri did not feel physically tired.

It was not until her muscles and nerves relaxed that Goto Ichiri realized how tired she was.

I was so tired that even standing still felt difficult.

After shaking a few times, Goto Ichiri fell limply to the ground...

However, before Goto Ichiri fell to the ground, a small hand suddenly reached out from her side and supported her body.

“Aine-chan…”

Goto Ichiri looked up at the person who was supporting her.

For some reason, after seeing Chihaya Aine's face, Goto Ichiri felt a smile appear uncontrollably on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Chihaya Aine said softly.

"But Mr. Seven said you can't rest yet~"

All the words that Goto Ichiri hadn't said yet were blocked by Chihaya Aine's words.

"Aine-chan? Are you kidding me?

Right?"

Goto Ichiri could hardly speak clearly.

"Emmm, it's been so long, Ili-chan, you should have seen Mr. Seven's jeep, right?"

Chihaya Aine spread her hands, expressing her helplessness as well.

"I...I know."

As Chihaya Aine expected, Goto Ichiri didn't say much after hearing the jeep.

"The final opponent is Hidden Blade Ronin, the protagonist of the game I'm obsessed with recently, Ronin Rise. Ichiri-chan, you better be careful."

As soon as Chihaya Aine finished speaking, Goto Ichiri felt that the space in front of his eyes was distorted again, and his physical condition returned to normal. The only difference was that the two swords in his hands were still the ones given by Chihaya Aine just now, namely, the Midori and Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada.

When the distortion in Goto Ichiri's vision dissipated, a figure dressed in black ronin clothing appeared before him. What attracted Goto Ichiri's attention most were the two black scarves wrapped around the other person's neck.

While staring at the opponent in front of him, Goto Ichiri placed his hands on the hilt of the thin green sword on his left waist and the sword of Izumi-no-kami Fujiwara Kanesada, and then slowly pulled out the two swords.

Clank, clank, clank...

The blade slowly unsheathed, making a crisp sound.

As a qualified social phobic, Goto Ichiri was able to infer the current time by the sunlight on his head, which was around 1:00 p.m.

Although it is just after noon, the sunlight today is not very strong.

It was autumn now.

The sky was clear blue, and the sunlight was soft—Hou Midori and Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada shone with a clear blue light under the light.

After Goto Ichiri drew his sword from its sheath, a dazzling light appeared in the Hidden Blade Ronin's vision.

Goto Ichiri slowly assumed the posture of Niten Ichiraku.

"Come here on horseback."

The Hidden Blade Ronin cast a cold and somewhat surprised look at Goto Ichiri.

Finally, Hidden Blade Ronin transformed these complex emotions into a smile on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

"To be able to compete against Goto Ittosai, who is remembered in history, would be a lack of respect if I didn't give it my all."

After saying this, there was a raging fire burning in the dark eyes of the Hidden Blade Ronin, and an invisible aura instantly enveloped him.
