Chapter 823 Prajna vs. "Sky Sword" Okita Souji! 4800(2/3)
In this way, the two of them fought from the room to the corridor.
Shinto Muken-ryu encourages offense – the same goes for Natural Rishin-ryu!
Souji concentrated his power on his toes, and while using his unpredictable high-speed movements to confuse his opponents, he swung his sword like a strong wind!
She clearly only had one sword in her hand, but it had the effect of wielding more than a dozen swords!
From cunning slashes to insidious stabs...there are deep knife marks everywhere on the walls and floor of the corridor!
Katsura Kogoro has personally proved that "Swordsman Kogoro"'s sword is not old.
Even against the "Number One General of the Shinsengumi", he did not fall behind at all.
But...the two were evenly matched and did not last long.
The "Swordsman" has shown signs of decline, but the "Heavenly Sword" has become more courageous with each battle!
One hit!
Another blow!
Another blow!
Her body, which seemed too petite for the title of "Heavenly Sword", was moving around in the narrow corridor.
Her figure sometimes stood upright in front of the other party, and sometimes appeared behind the other party, like a ghost.
Using the famous line from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu - as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as unpredictable as the dark - is the most appropriate way to describe her slashing attack.
Soon, Katsura Kogoro lost his previous coolness and ease, and gradually fell behind.
In the dim light, one could see sweat dripping down his face and dripping down his chin, and steam rising from his head.
It's not hard to see - in a few more rounds, Katsura Kogoro will definitely be defeated!
Just when the commander-in-chief was holding his breath and preparing to kill Katsura Kogoro in one go -
call out!
A sheathed knife suddenly swung out from the diagonal stab! It slashed diagonally towards the head of the Souji!
The sudden attack made the commander-in-chief stunned.
At the critical moment, his body took action one step ahead, jumped back more than two feet, and opened up the gap.
Hannya, who suddenly burst out, took the opportunity to take a step diagonally and stood in front of Katsura Kogoro, separating Souji and Katsura Kogoro.
"Kasuru Kogoro, you were beaten so badly."
Prajna said this in a mocking and joking tone.
"It's really embarrassing for the majestic 'Swordsman Kogoro' to be beaten like this by a little girl."
"Without my timely help, you would probably have gone to see the King of Hell by now."
Katsura Kogoro ignored him and glanced at him with an indifferent expression. Then he wiped the sweat off his face and regulated his breathing.
Nagakura Shinpachi rushed to Souji's side in half a step.
"Director, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold him back. Be careful, that guy wearing a Western hat is very strong!"
He said, steadying the knife with a solemn expression.
The director-general nodded gently with a serious expression.
"Well, I can see it."
Hannya swept his gaze and looked left and right at Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi.
"...Kasura Kogoro, I will help you block these people, you can run away quickly."
As soon as these words came out, Katsura Kogoro suddenly lost his temper.
"Escape? What are you talking about! Even if you want to escape, you must take Mr. Miyabe with you..."
Before he could finish his words, Prajna intercepted him directly with an indifferent tone:
"My duty is to protect you."
"No one except you is within my protection."
"If you have the confidence to save that person with this exhausted body, then go ahead."
"Your life is yours, you can do whatever you want, I don't care."
"I will then report to the superiors that 'Kasuru Kogoro is determined to die.' The most I will receive is a few scoldings and a period of solitary confinement."
"I won't help you anyway."
"After all...even if I have the heart now, I don't have the energy left."
He moved his gaze and fixed his eyes firmly on the chief executive.
"Although I don't know who this little girl is, I can tell from just one glance that she is not a weakling that I can easily defeat."
Having said this, he opened his mouth and showed a ferocious, joyful smile.
"Escape or fight, make your choice quickly!"
Hannya's words were like a magic spell, causing Katsura Kogoro's complexion to change several times.
At this moment, he seemed to be carrying a boulder weighing ten thousand tons, his waist was slightly bent and his shoulders were drooped.
He gritted his teeth, looked at the knife in his hand with a complicated expression, and then looked at the critical Miyabe Daizo not far away.
Within a moment, he made a decision——
He turned around and ran towards the window not far away!
At this moment, there was obviously no prior discussion, but Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi cooperated in an extremely tacit understanding.
The former tiger leaped out and pounced on Prajna.
The latter ran wildly and chased Katsura Kogoro.
At this moment, Hannya staggered slightly, blocking the narrow corridor with his body, then swung the sheathed sword in his hand like a windmill, fending off Souji and intercepting Nagakura Shinpachi!
Taking advantage of the precious opportunity that Hannya had bought for him, Katsura Kogoro opened the window, jumped to the eaves outside the window, and then jumped down quickly.
Outside the window is the back door guarded by Toudo Heisuke and Nakazawa Qin.
Seeing another person coming, Toudo Heisuke and Nakazawa Qin immediately cheered up and stepped forward to fight.
Although Katsura Kogoro had exhausted all his strength in the battle just now, even so, he was still not someone that ordinary people could deal with.
A tired tiger is still a tiger after all!
He easily dodged Nakazawa Koto's naginata, and then rushed to Toudou Heisuke like a ghost - with a whoosh, the blade cut through the air and hit Toudou Heisuke's forehead.
"Uh-!"
He cried out in pain suddenly.
Todo Heisuke clutched his forehead where blood was pouring out, and he staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, he wore a forehead protector to protect him.
Otherwise...the consequences will be disastrous!
However, even with the protection of the forehead protector, there was still a bloody gash between his forehead.
The gurgling blood stained his entire face red, making him look extremely horrifying.
When Nakazawa Qin saw this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment because of fright.
Katsura Kogoro knew that his top priority now was to escape, so he was not willing to fight.
After beheading Toudo Heisuke and frightening Nakazawa Qin, he didn't stop much, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and fled into a dark alley not far away...
…
On the other side, the battle between Prajna and Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi continues!
Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi were eager to chase Katsura Kogoro, thinking of breaking through Hannya's blockade.
Prajna noticed that their minds were not here, so he shouted loudly, half displeased and half excited:
"Don't worry about that weak guy!"
"Use all your strength! Use all your strength! Look at me! Focus your energy on me!"
When he said these words, he stared at the DG the whole time - obviously, he said these words to the DG.
After finishing his words, he unleashed an extremely fierce offensive, forcing Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi to retreat!
The Souji lowered his eyelids and shot a sharp gaze towards Prajna.
At this point, she has realized: if they don't defeat the guy in front of them, they will never even think about catching up with Katsura Kogoro!
"...Shinpachi, you attack the side, and I'll attack the front."
Nagakura Shinpachi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded firmly.
The Souji shook his head, moved his neck, and flicked the pony behind his head.
