Chapter 189: Dividing it into such portions, aren't you afraid of developing a split personalit
puff!
Ok? ? ?
The two troublemaking samurai had just drawn their swords when, with a "whoosh," a blade tip appeared on each of their chests.
Turning around in disbelief, I was met with yet another glint of cold light.
The headless corpse fell to either side, revealing the attackers behind it.
"This outfit..."
Kenshin frowned, carefully examining the other person's appearance and clothing. He immediately recognized that the other person, like himself, was an assassin who could not leave his mark on history.
However, judging from the other party's fierce eyes, he seemed to be his enemy, or rather, his target.
He gripped the hilt with his right hand, and his left thumb was already resting on the guard.
"To kill this man, I only need one move!"
Since he couldn't sense any fluctuations in true energy, Kenshin realized that his opponent was just a powerful ordinary person.
He no longer takes such opponents seriously.
As he expected, the two didn't waste any words and started fighting right away.
The masked assassin, wielding dual swords, was agile and wielding sharp blades, but in Kenshin's eyes, he was like an elderly person with dementia and hemiplegia.
After a dazzling "Tornado Flash Spin", the assassin was cut in two from the abdomen by Kenshin's sword.
But the next second, he froze on the spot, intending to sheathe his sword.
The blood that he blasted away with his true energy splattered all over a beautiful woman.
The plain white kimono and the purple ribbon shawl were, at this moment, stained with the red of slaughter.
"is her!"
Kenshin's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart pounded.
Even though the other person's face was splattered with blood, their dark eyes were still staring quietly at Kenshin.
Before he could question her, the woman rolled her eyes upward, her legs went weak, and she immediately threw herself into his arms.
Kenshin naturally caught it, but when he felt the heavy yet soft touch on his forearm, even though his expression remained cold, his nostrils flared involuntarily.
It wasn't that he was lustful, but rather that he smelled a faint fragrance of white plum blossoms on the woman.
"That's true, such a delicate girl would definitely faint if she saw such a bloody scene!"
"Yes, we can't just leave her here. I need to find a place to settle her down first."
Having found a suitable excuse, Kenshin picked the woman up in his arms and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.
Shortly after he left, the reformist patriots responsible for monitoring the progress of the mission appeared from the street corner.
Watching Kenshin carry the woman away, the two exchanged a bewildered glance.
"Did you see how she appeared?"
"You didn't see it? You saw it?"
"Nonsense, if I saw it, would I need to ask you? Strange, we've been watching for so long, how come we didn't notice anyone approaching Kenshin?"
......
after a while.
Kenshin learned that the beautiful woman's name was Yukishiro Tomoe.
Although their accent, attire, and even the taste of their cooking were not typical of Kyoto, they didn't explain where they came from or what they wanted to do.
There should have been many suspicious points, but even so, Kenshin chose to believe the other party and even got used to Yukishiro Tomoe's frequent appearances by his side.
Although Katsura Kogoro had some doubts, and even went to ask Mi Niang after his own investigation yielded no results, he was told that he knew nothing about this woman.
But seeing that he was harmless and hardworking, and most importantly, too good-looking, Katsura Kogoro decided to let Yukishiro Tomoe stay in the stronghold of the Choshu Domain's Restoration righteous men.
In a corner of the palace, in an unnamed hut.
Katsura Kogoro is reporting to Mi Niang about Kenshin's changes.
I heard that although Kenshin's strength has improved rapidly, it seems that his blade has become dull recently because of his contact with Yukishiro Tomoe.
Mi Niang waved her hand in response, indicating:
"It's normal for a young man to have someone he admires."
"As long as Kenshin's strength continues to grow, then we shouldn't interfere too much with other matters."
Mi Niang spoke with satisfaction, while Doma, leaning against the wall, stared wide-eyed, thoughtfully watching everything unfold.
As allies, the White Serpent God, along with him and the Yin-Yang Bureau of Kyoto, shared the same goal: to uphold the emperor and expel the barbarians.
Therefore, they would share information with each other on some important decisions.
Besides, it was Doma who came up with the idea of sending Yukishiro Tomoe to Kenshin, and he was the one who found her, so he was certainly qualified to hear news about Kenshin.
Katsura Kogoro was still talking to Mi Niang, expressing his hope that all the Shinto sects in Kyoto would provide them with more assistance, and so on.
At this moment, Doma turned his head to look out the window in a daze.
Mi Niang glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was still acting like he was giving up. She felt disdain and withdrew her attention from him.
But at that moment, a slight smile slowly appeared on Doma's lips, and then an ice butterfly flashed past the window and disappeared.
Mibu Village, the headquarters of the Shrine of the Shining Sun.
Taiyi, who was closing his eyes and letting Afeng wipe his body, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stretched out his palm, and an ice butterfly fell into his hand and melted into his skin.
"Sir, is this?"
Afeng stared wide-eyed, somewhat surprised by what was happening before his eyes.
Lean less.
"No need to panic, it's just a message from an old friend."
"I see. When did you recover? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"There's no need. I trust you to do whatever you want."
Taiyi reached out and lifted Afeng's chin, looking into the other's misty eyes. He smiled, then closed his eyes again and made no more sound.
Mi Niang, you definitely have a problem.
Kenshin is a very skilled swordsman and is important to the Choshu faction's reform camp, but he is far from being someone that other forces would care about.
These days, there are far too many forces that rebel, or rather, reform.
The Choshu Domain was particularly famous, with the entire domain expressing its support for the Emperor and its desire to overthrow the Shogunate.
While the daimyo of other domains did not express their stance, there were many spontaneous reformist organizations among the common people.
Therefore, the changes in Kenshin, and the existence of beings at the level of the White Serpent God, should not be taken seriously.
Furthermore, the White Serpent Goddess Mi Niang is very interested in Kenshin's growth; it seems that the faster Kenshin grows, the happier she is.
Taking all of this into consideration, Taiichi couldn't help but think of Sakura Dragon.
Given Sakura Dragon's methods and strength, how could he have been outmaneuvered by a group of defeated soldiers?
Then, Taiichi thought of the ending of Sekiro: The Return of the Dragon.
Previously, it was thought that the White Serpent God deliberately plotted against the Sakura Dragon, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"The Dragon's Return Home? It seems like he wants to send himself away."
So, is the soul inside Mi Niang's body really the White Snake God?
I think it's the primordial spirit of Sakura Dragon!
Thinking about this, Taiichi felt a little envious of Sakura Ryu.
"The power of the primordial spirit is truly formidable!"
"Lian is also at the Nascent Soul stage, but she can only possess one puppet. But this Yinglong guy has split off so many Nascent Souls over the years."
"With so many divisions, aren't you afraid of developing a mental breakdown?!"
