Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Faced with Saijo Taiga's threat and his men drawing their swords, Hayashi Yoshiki also drew the sword he wore at his waist.

This is the real deal.

Then, to avoid the scabbard getting in the way while it was on his waist, Lin Jiashu simply threw the scabbard away.

"...Can you do it?"

Watching his movements, Hattori Heiji felt somewhat uncertain.

Similarly, what he was holding in his hand was also the real deal, and a very good one at that—although he didn't know how Lin Jiashu had gotten his hands on these knives, but now was not the time to delve into that.

"Brother Jiashu..."

Xiaolan looked at him with some worry.

Lin Jiashu expressionlessly loosened the bow tie under his collar and roughly ripped off the top button, revealing his solid chest underneath.

"I don't really know any kendo, but I can't go in empty-handed. If possible, I would like to bring a light machine gun with me."

"..."

Conan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw him still making witty remarks.

At this moment, one of Saijo Taiga's subordinates, who was standing relatively close to Hayashi Yoshiki, couldn't help but sneer, "An outsider."

In his view, Lin Jiashu's posture and the way he held the knife had nothing to do with swordsmanship.

Let alone his vigilant posture when facing the enemy, just looking at his relaxed demeanor, you could say that he was full of flaws.

After making his sarcastic remarks, he charged forward.

Saijo Taiga originally wanted his students to stand by and watch while he personally went up to fight Hattori Heiji, but since a student had chosen Hayashi Yoshiki, he might as well let him show off... His admiration for Yoshitsune was criticized by Rui as a love of playing house, which did break his heart.

"careful!"

Lin Jiashu remained calm as the man charging at him with a knife in hand approached.

His gaze clearly captured the movements of the other's limbs. As the other ran towards him with a knife in both hands, he raised his shoulders, held the knife above his head, and assumed the stance of what is known in Kendo as "Upper Dan," before slashing down fiercely at Lin Jiashu.

The blade slashed down like a flash of cold light.

Judging from the opponent's momentum and speed, his strength was not astonishing, but when Lin Jiashu blocked the way with his sword, he still cautiously used both hands.

When the man's first attack failed, he immediately raised his knife again, intending to strike down. However, Lin Jiashu had already seen through his movements. Just as the man was about to forcefully break through his defense, Lin Jiashu suddenly withdrew his knife and turned his body to the side.

The man's knife missed its mark, and he reacted by trying to swing it back at him.

However, a cold arc of light suddenly appeared in the hole of his mask.

Lin Jiashu acted much faster than anyone expected.

After a flash of light, the man's swing suddenly became lighter, and only his wrist was swung out.

His hands, which were holding the knife, fell to the ground.

"Varied……!?"

"Wow, this knife is so sharp?"

At that moment, not only the person involved, but even Hattori Heiji and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they witnessed those hands being severed and falling to the ground.

Lin Jiashu lowered his eyes, leisurely marveling at the sharpness of the knife. He held the knife horizontally in front of his eyes and gently touched the blade with the pad of his left index finger. As a result, blood quickly seeped out from the pad of his finger.

"My...my hand!?"

Realizing that both his hands had been severed, the man let out a terrified scream. He staggered back several steps, and as blood gushed from his intact wrists onto the ground, the dizziness caused his voice to tremble.

"Don't be so upset. You came here with the intention of killing me."

Lin Jiashu spoke casually, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He looked away from the knife and smiled, "I was just acting in self-defense, and if you get your hand to the hospital in time, there's a chance it can be reattached... However, that depends on whether your companion is willing to help you pick up your hand."

"..."

Seeing the smile on Hayashi Yoshiki's face, Conan and Hattori Heiji both felt a chill run down their spines.

The always smiling Lin Jiashu suddenly showed such a ruthless side, completely different from his former self.

"Brother Jiashu..."

Xiaolan was a little worried.

Seeing the gentle Yoshiki-san like this, she wasn't afraid, but she was a little worried.

Upon seeing this, Saijo Taiga's expression turned grim.

He suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "All of you, charge! Don't let them leave alive!"

Upon hearing this, several subordinates immediately rushed forward with knives.

Upon seeing this, Xiaolan immediately twisted her bound hands and shouted, "Help us untie! We can help too!"

Without hesitation, Hattori Heiji swung his sword and untied the ropes binding their hands.

Lin Jiashu then walked towards the group of guys wearing Hannya masks who rushed forward.

Chapter 301: Battle

Lin Jiashu had never been exposed to Kendo.

Although I had heard about some kendo-related terms and techniques from various sources, this was the first time I had actually held a sword in my own hands.

But as soon as he picked it up, he realized that the katana was an extreme thing, sharp yet fragile, and not suitable for head-on confrontation.

"what!"

The man wearing the Prajna mask rushed forward and swung his sword.

Lin Jiashu simply held the knife horizontally in front of his eyes with one hand and steadily blocked the attack. When the opponent tried to suppress him from above, he turned his body and twisted his body. The two long knives clashed and made a clear sound. At the same time, the short knife that Lin Jiashu had taken out at some point had viciously stabbed into the back of the opponent's kidney.

His movements were as swift as eating or drinking.

However, the man who was stabbed in the kidney stumbled and let out a terrified scream.

"Sorry, I might be a little too rough."

With a laugh, Lin Jiashu kicked the other person away and laughed without any burden.

The other guys who had rushed up with him paused involuntarily when they saw this.

They were just students of the Yoshitsune school trained by Saijo Taiga, not some bloodthirsty murderers. Faced with someone like Hayashi Yoshiki who didn't hesitate to be ruthless, they were genuinely a little intimidated for a moment.

"Don't be afraid! We'll all go together!"

"Avenge Hachiga and the others!"

The group exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and then rushed forward.

Lin Jiashu picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground from the man whose hands he had previously severed and held it in his left hand.

It was at this moment that two people rushed up to Lin Jiashu.

"Go to hell!"

The two men attacked Lin Jiashu simultaneously, one slashing and the other thrusting with high-level sword techniques, forcing him to dodge. As he sidestepped the oncoming blade, the tip of a fiercely thrusting blade almost grazed his cheek, and before Lin Jiashu could retaliate, the other man swung his blade again.

As Lin Jiashu managed to block the attack with his left hand, he caught sight of another person stabbing him in the waist from his right side.

A swift and decisive stab pierced through the cold night mist of the temple.

However, when the person wielding the knife strikes the target with a sure-fire blow, the sensation returned from the tip of the knife is that it is a hard, cold object.

It's some kind of sheet of metal!?

"Varied--!?"

"it's a pity."

With a smile, Lin Jiashu raised the knife in his right hand, the shadow of which covered the mask on the man's face, and then suddenly brought it down!

The cold blade, carrying an aura of tearing silk, sliced ​​through the man's kendo uniform, spurting out a large amount of blood.

After his companion's blood splattered onto his knife-wielding hand, the man who was locked in a standoff with Lin Jiashu glanced at him and noticed that the other man's face and shirt collar were also stained with a lot of blood.

Lin Jiashu flicked his left hand slightly, sending the man staggering back several steps.

That's incredible strength!

The man was somewhat taken aback.

"Shouting about avenging their comrades, as soon as they feign an opening, they'll definitely stab me here..."

Seeing that the other party hesitated and dared not step forward, Lin Jiashu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood off his face.

He smiled and said:

"Is this the Yoshitsune school?"

"To be willing to become an accomplice of Saijo Taiga, one must have trained under him for quite some time, right?"

"I'm just a complete novice when it comes to swordsmanship. At most, I'm just a little faster and stronger than you guys."

Seeing him standing there without any poise was the most biting irony for Saijo Taiga's men.

For Japanese people, it is not easy to become a disciple of a certain school of thought. In addition to learning and training in practical skills, the spirit and will of the school also need to be passed on to the disciples. After years of learning, these disciples generally become part of the school and naturally take pride in upholding the school's reputation.

"You look left-handed, right?"

He stared at one of the men confronting him, and when he saw the man tighten his grip on his knife after being lifted up, he laughed and said, "Then be careful not to have my left hand chopped off."

the other side

Conan and his friends are struggling to cope with the siege.

Hattori Heiji was confronted by Saijo Taiga. Because of his injuries, he was quickly overwhelmed by Saijo Taiga and forced to retreat.

Ran and Kazuha carefully used karate and aikido to fight their enemies, while Conan kicked over several campfires and used the burning firewood as a soccer ball to kick the enemies one by one.

He also noticed the commotion on Lin Jiashu's side.

Looking at Lin Jiashu's appearance, I couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

"Brother Jiashu!"

Xiao Lan kicked away the incoming knife with a sudden strike, causing the opponent to stumble, and then punched him away.

Upon witnessing Lin Jiashu being surrounded, she immediately rushed forward, leaping up mid-air and unleashing a powerful whip kick that sent the attacker who tried to sneak up behind Lin Jiashu flying.

"Xiao Lan..."

"Are you alright, Yoshiki-nii?"

Standing behind Lin Jiashu, Xiaolan stared sharply at the approaching enemies and asked.

"Well, don't worry."

Lin Jiashu replied with a smile.

The two had no time to talk, as the enemy was rushing towards them again.

"what!"

One of them swung a knife, but Lin Jiashu easily blocked it with the knife in his left hand. However, the knife that followed came from both sides.

Lin Jiashu had no choice but to push away the guy in front of him and hastily parry. Even so, the knife that came straight from the right side still cut through the fabric of his suit, taking away a large piece of fabric and leaving a bloody mark.

"It will be a bit difficult if there are many people... but I'll just tell you some news."

Another slash came down, and Lin Jiashu recognized it as the guy he had warned not to let him cut off his left hand.

He chuckled and said, "Although we didn't call the police when we first arrived, I did notify the others and told them to call the police immediately if they didn't receive our message within twenty minutes... I also got them to tell the police where the Buddha statue was hidden. In other words, your teacher Saijo Taiga and the Yoshitsune school are finished."

"What did you say!?"

"Of course, you people will also be arrested by the police and sentenced as accomplices. Oh, and watch your left hand..."

While trying to sway his opponents with words, Lin Jiashu suddenly unleashed a force that astonished them. He swung his knife like a baseball bat, and an enemy who was about to strike him felt an overwhelming force as his knife came down, almost making his hand go numb and causing him to lose his grip on the knife!

The left-handed man, who was originally facing off against Lin Jiashu, was pushed back and stumbled as he saw Lin Jiashu heading straight for him.

His heart tightened, and he quickly steadied himself, focusing his attention on the defense of his left hand.

Lin Jiashu swung the knife in his right hand at him.

Clang!

As the two blades clashed, what he saw was a mocking smile on Lin Jiashu's face.

Immediately, he felt a chill in his abdomen.
