Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The existence of the dead tide has put Yingzhou in a state of virtual isolation.

The conflict between the shogunate and the emperor also led to the actual division between Edo and Kyoto.

The shogunate lacked the support of Shintoism, so it simply stopped using religion to constrain the minds of ordinary people. Instead, it embraced the market more quickly and implemented economic reforms and industrialization and modernization;

However, the Chinese government led by the emperor was not happy and appeared to be extremely conservative. Shintoism in governing the country meant that they would not easily change the system, and they did not know how to make the cake bigger.

If the shogunate is more prosperous than before, it will be able to support more military families.

Although Miburou is not a samurai family that develops as a family, as an independent department within the Metropolitan Police Department, it also has a high degree of autonomy. It even retains the shogunate's permission to kill, and can kill felons who disobey discipline on the spot.

Today's Shinsengumi has doubled in size compared to ten years ago, and its combat power is even more luxurious. It can be called the number one thug of the shogunate in Edo.

Many people tried to make friends with him, but failed without exception. Mibu Lang still only obeyed the orders of the shogunate.

As a native of mixed race, Hu Hu naturally knew this very well, and his inner fear and fear stemmed from the Shinsengumi's famous reputation in Edo.

What he was even more afraid of was that the Shinsengumi's attack meant that the hand on the opponent's back was in a very high position. This was probably not a big shot that they, the little businessmen, could offend.

"Are you trying to resist arrest?" A member of the Shinsengumi smiled and said, "I suggest you don't do it, otherwise you will suffer a bit."

One of the guards grabbed a chair on the ground and threw it directly into the stair room.

But his vision seemed to be framed, and the figure disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the knife had hit the back of the guard's neck.

No one had time to react.

Apart from……

When——!

The swordsman wearing a blue haori was shot down in mid-air. He stumbled back twice and regained his balance. He glanced at the sword in his hand in surprise and could feel the sword trembling in the scabbard.

He said in surprise: "This is really amazing. I didn't expect to meet an expert of this level here."

Bai Yu looked at the short swordsman expressionlessly and said to several people: "If you want to leave, leave quickly. If you don't want to go to jail, run as far away as possible before anyone comes."

"How do you know no one is coming?"

"Because you are too confident, you didn't take anyone else with you when you traveled temporarily. Am I right?" Bai Yu called out the other party's name: "Okita Souji."

The young man with a high ponytail smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect that even the swordsmen from Daxia know my name. I'm so embarrassed."

Bai Yu was noncommittal.

I know it’s because Amemiya Mahiru once fought against her...but it seems that she has forgotten about herself.

It’s no wonder that, for Mr. Okita, ten years have passed since this incident.

But her personality has not changed at all. She still has the habit of hunting alone and prefers to fight alone.

The last time she fought against Amemiya Mahiru, she was fifteen years old.

Okita Souji should be twenty-five years old now, and historical records indicate that he died at the age of twenty-six.

Hazard level...40.

Haven't you been able to break through to the realm of swordsman?

No, there seems to be a slight fluctuation.

It seems like a breakthrough is coming, but not yet... like a breakthrough?

Bai Yu's expression showed a little subtlety, and he immediately pulled out the Caihong Sword and gently raised the blade: "Let them go, I will play with you."

"Okay, it's a deal."

General Okita suddenly drew his sword, and with a clanging sound, the light of the sword was pointed directly at Bai Yu's eyebrows.

The air wave created by the instant confrontation had already blown away several people who were slightly late to react.

Swords clash.

Bai Yu looked as usual and did not take a step back.

Every sword strike against Okita Souji was precise and precise. The two sides were like playing a blacksmith game, neither one could break the other's defense.

When she tried to overpower others, she found that she was being overpowered in turn.

Okita Souji's eyes widened.

Only then did she realize that her cultivation was actually not the upper hand!

Not bad.

From December to the end of January, after a month and a half of repair period, Bai Yu's realm has officially reached the peak of the third level.

Jumped from level thirty-five to level forty.

Getting to this point was all due to his own efforts... and the soft rice that Mahiru and Elise fed him!

Chapter 578 Hunting the White Peak Group

"Good swordsmanship."

"Thanks for the compliment, you're pretty good too."

Amidst the flash of swords and shadows, the two of them managed to chat for a few words.

Okita Souji is an executioner, but not a murderer. Her attack is obviously mainly for sparring, not killing, but when she sees the hunting heart, she will inevitably feel a little unable to hold back.

You know your own situation.

Okita Souji has not yet been able to enter the fourth level of swordsmanship.

As for Saito Ichi, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Hijikata Toshizo, all three of them have relied on their own abilities and training to finally reach the realm of swordsmen, but she has stagnated for three years without making any progress.

Even though her reputation as a genius is no longer impressive, there are fewer and fewer people willing to spar with her.

Once you reach the realm of swordsman, you will involuntarily enter the situation of hiding your sword.

Yingzhou's swordsman has a relatively deformed system. The soul strength is not enough, so it can only be used sparingly.

Hiding the sword in a sheath is to nurture the sword's will and not to damage one's own soul.

If the loss is too large, it will easily lead to unstable foundation and shorten the life span.

It's been a long time since Okita Souji had an actual battle with an opponent of similar strength... It's not so easy to find an opponent at the third level of the peak, and there are even fewer opponents who can match her strength. In the past, Saito Ichi and Nagakura Shinpachi were able to fight her. There were back and forth, but after the two men broke through to become swordsmen, they even changed their daily swordsmanship training to meditation and no longer drew their swords easily.

This time I met Bai Yu, it was a rare opportunity to catch my opponent as a sparring partner, and he fought with extra vigor and ferocity.

What makes her even more delighted is that she has already begun to take action, but she still can't touch the other party's bottom line, and she's not sure when she can let go of her comfortable attitude.

She could sense that the other party was not serious; even if she had reached full sword speed, she could not make the other party's expression more solemn.

The most terrifying thing is an opponent whose strength cannot be determined, like an iceberg floating on the sea.

She gradually wanted to force the other party to show some real skills.

only……

This girl is a little over the top.

A flash of light burst into Okita Souji's eyes.

Take the sword first, then settle down!

Her Iai is extremely special, it looks like it's just one sword, but it's actually two strikes in total.

The first blow made Bai Yu lose the Caihong Sword in his hand, but the second move was directly seen through by Bai Yu.

Immediately stepped on it.

There was a huge flaw in her posture, but she immediately gave up the knife in her hand and changed to the sacrificial technique, trying to force Bai Yu to show his true skills through close combat.

But the next moment, his chin received a heavy blow, and he was knocked up by a knee. He rose straight up, and his head hit the ceiling of the basement, which was the floor of the first floor.

Half of the body was stuck.

At the same time, what restrained her was the earth's murderous intent, which had been weakened to one percent.

Bai Yu said angrily: "You really want to hack me to death."

Okita Souji struggled for a moment and was about to explain when he suddenly heard a crisp sound.

She immediately shouted and kept dangling her legs: "Ah! What are you doing!"

"Who asked you to come here?" Bai Yu took the fallen feather duster and hit her butt.

"me……"

Snapped!

"Say it quickly!"

"Yes, someone called the police on the road. After I heard it, I followed it. Even the location was told by the person who called the police."

"So, you came here by eavesdropping?"

"Yes."

Snapped!

"Hiss—!" Souji Okita shouted shamefully: "Stop fighting, I've already let him go, what else do you want!"

"How can you remember if I don't beat you?" Bai Yu dropped the feather duster: "It's obvious that you were used as a gun... Hang here and reflect on your own, a girl should act like a girl, don't act like a crazy critic all day long Yes, I suggest you learn more from the Xingyue version of Miss Okita."

"I don't understand what you are saying!" Souji Okita was ashamed and angry.

When she finally broke free and returned to the basement, there was no one down there.

Bai Yu was already outside Santiao Street at this time.

The fight just now was just a small test.

It was Souji Okita who came, and he was alone. The Shinsengumi did not intervene. This time it was a false warning.

It proves that the other party's backstage may not be that big. Even if someone in the shogunate is working secretly, it is just the idea of ​​a certain faction. There must be a substantive issue of interest distribution, which may involve disputes between radicals and conservatives.

Or maybe it's just some people's greed.

If things get serious, they will definitely not end well.

The shogunate does not want to expose its greedy face at this time, otherwise how will it attract investment in the future?

Should we give up Bactria, which is so close at hand, and choose Curry Man, who doesn’t use paper in the toilet, or Europa, which is far away on the other side of the ocean?

No normal person would be that stupid.

"But the arrival of this incident may push the Baifeng Group to the forefront."

"It's strange to say that Shiromine Naomi is supposed to be a prudent family leader. She suddenly became radical. There must be a reason."

He walked to an uninhabited corner, raised his hand, switched to the knight's appearance skin, and summoned the Hellfire 3000, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle painted in silver in energy-saving mode.

Reversing the engine, Bai Yu drove towards Bai Feng's house.

He still remembered the journey he took last time.

Even if there is a small deviation, it doesn't matter. The worst thing is that it will slip.

……

When Okita Souji pulled himself out, before he could even catch his breath, a hand pressed down on his forehead.

"This is such a familiar feeling, Mr. Dodo Hijikata... ah, my head hurts, please stop pinching my forehead like that! It's going to explode, it's going to explode!"

"I really want to crush your head. What on earth were you thinking? You suddenly left your post without permission!"

Hijikata Toisho, who was hanging a cigarette and looked like he walked out of the Gintama studio, looked unhappy. With bulging veins, he raised Okita's one hand: "Do you really think that no one will teach you a lesson? You come to a place like this to fish, you are really It’s time to make a career!”

"A place like this?" Souji Okita looked around and then noticed that the first floor here was actually an adult toy store. She blushed and then turned pale: "No, no, no, no! Listen to my explanation. Mr. Hijikata, Boss Kondo!”

Behind him, Isamu Kondo, the leader of the Shinsengumi smiled awkwardly, patted Hijikata on the shoulder, and whispered: "After all, Souji has reached this age, so you have to understand."

Hijikata Toisho snorted coldly: "I found a blind date for her six years ago. I hide in the team and refuse to go out. Who can blame me!"

Okita Souji was unconvinced and hid behind Kondo Isamu and cursed: "Hijikata, you pighead, you said I was here to investigate the case. Who is interested in this? I think you are the one who does this all day long."

Hijikata Toshizo sneered: "Do I need to play with this? Do you know how many times the courtesans in Flower Street have invited me?"

"She just wants you to spend money on her. Courtesans are all like this!"

"Fart, I can stay overnight for as many nights as I want without even bringing a dime!"
