I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: Hasegawa is naturally unwilling to let the "Buddha's enemy" run away like this.

Under the order of Hasegawa, the officials of Huofu Bandit Kai scattered in all directions, and scattered all over Matsucho to search for traces of "Buddha's enemies".

However, after searching for a while, the result was-no results.

"hateful!"

Imai punched heavily at the earthen wall beside him.

"Finally bumped into the 'Buddha Enemy', and ended up being run away by him!"

Compared with Imai's resentment, Hasegawa's state is much calmer.

"Okay, Imai." Hasegawa said softly, "It's useless to feel aggrieved here. Shouldn't you and I be mentally prepared for the difficulty of the 'Buddha Enemy'?"

"Not only is his swordsmanship superb, but he is also extremely agile. When he is determined to escape, whether to catch him or not depends largely on our luck."

Tachibana was standing beside Hasegawa and Imai at this time.

After the voices of Imai and Hasegawa fell, Tachibana murmured:

"Is he... the 'Buddha Enemy'..."

"That's right..." Imai turned his head and smiled wryly at Tachibana, "The guy with the black knife just now is the 'Buddha Enemy'. How is it? Have you realized how tricky he is?"

"Hmm..." Tachibana nodded slightly.

Before the "Buddha's Enemy" escapes, Tachibana and the "Buddha's Enemy" confront each other.

Although it was only a mere move, Tachibana could feel it with just this move—there was an extremely huge gap in the level of swordsmanship between him and the "Buddha Enemy".

If Hasegawa hadn't intervened in time just now, otherwise Tachibana would be sure - he should not be able to make three moves in front of that "Buddha enemy".

"'Buddha Enemy' is the most difficult and mysterious thief I have ever seen in Hasegawa's life."

At this moment, Hasegawa on the side answered.

"Don't know his voice,

Don't know what he looks like, don't know his age, don't know which school of swordsmanship he uses. "

"The only thing we know is that he is a left-handed swordsman, using the treasured sword he stole from Honzoji two years ago—"Yan Mo"."

"'Yan Mo'...?" Tachibana chewed on the word, "Is that the black knife used by 'Buddha Enemy' just now?"

"That's right." Hasegawa nodded, "Two years ago, the 'Buddhist Enemy' attacked and burned down the largest temple in Nara, Honzo-ji Temple. It burned Honjo-ji Temple into a sea of ​​flames, and stole the The most important treasure that has been enshrined in the Xiang Temple for more than 200 years - the treasured sword 'Yan Mo'."

"Because of his heinous deeds of burning temples and stealing treasures, he was derogated by Buddhists as 'Oda Nobunaga's reincarnation', so he was called 'Buddha's enemy'."

"For the sake of convenience, we have always called him 'Buddha's enemy' and 'Buddha's enemy'."

"This guy not only set the fire but also stole the treasure. The place where he set the fire was the sacred Honzoji Temple, and the treasures he stole are also rare treasures. He can be regarded as the deadly enemy of our fire robbers."

As soon as Hasegawa's words fell, Imai at the side let out a long sigh:

"It's a pity, it took 2 years? It still can't be brought to justice..."

"Imai? Take your time." Hasegawa raised his hand and patted Imai's shoulder. "One day? We will be able to arrest the 'Buddha Enemy' and his subordinates!"

Now that the "Buddha's enemy" has slipped away? Hasegawa had no choice but to accept this fact and gave the order to withdraw the team.

Hasegawa's order to withdraw the team has just been issued? Tachibana who has been showing hesitation since just now? Finally mustered up the courage to ask Hasegawa:

"Master Hasegawa! Then... what about the samurai in light-colored haori and the spectacled samurai who ran away?"

"Huh? Oh, those two people. Take your time with those two people too."

"I think - we can catch those two soon."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa had an intriguing smile on his face.

"To deal with those two guys? I'm ready to move back."

...

...

Outside Pine Town? In a certain forest.

The "Master of Demonstration Flow" was sitting under a big tree with his knife in his arms.

Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand...

The "Master of Demonstration" heard the sound of stepping on the snow coming from his side.

Following the prestige, he saw a familiar figure running towards him.

"My lord!"

The "Master of Showmanship" shouted, while taking off the bamboo hat on top of his head, revealing a handsome face.

"Shallow well."

The "Buddhist Enemy" who had just escaped from the siege of Hasegawa and others said to the "Master of Show Present Flow".

"Sorry, I'm late."

"My lord? Are you injured?"

"No. The terrain like Jomachi is very favorable to me. I was not injured, and I managed to get rid of 'Onihira' smoothly."

"My lord..."

"Master of Showmanship"—or it could be said that Asai smiled wryly at the "enemy of Buddha" in front of him.

"Please don't do such dangerous things again..."

"Do you not believe that I can successfully cut off your heir?"

"No." Asai shook his head? "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about not risking your life to help a stranger again."

"We are not related to that 'Executioner Yidao Zhai'. Why do we do such a dangerous thing to cover him from escaping?"

"No matter what? Huo Fu Thief Kai is an extremely dangerous group of people for us."

"We were able to escape from Huofu Thief Kai this time? But maybe we won't be able to escape next time."

"To help a stranger who is not relatives? To do this... My lord? I don't think it's worth it."

"...A shallow well."

"Buddha Enemy" said softly after being silent for a while.

But his tone was as cold as ever, without any emotion.

"Mamiya is very interested in Ogata Yidaosai."

"And I—actually, I'm also very interested in Ogata Iktosai."

"It would be too boring to let Ogata Yidaosai fall into the hands of 'Onihira' like this."

"Asai, if you are disgusted with helping strangers, then I may consider not letting you do similar tasks in the future."

"My lord..." Asai showed a wry smile as if he was about to cry, "I don't have a problem with you, it's just..."

"Okay, I was just joking. Asai, let's go. Go and find something to eat. I just got into a fight with 'Onihira' and ran for so long. I'm hungry. "

"Yes... my lord, we have put in so much effort, what if that Ogata Yidaosai is still arrested?"

"There's nothing to do—let that Ogata Yidaosai do his best. We've done our best."

Speaking of this, "Buddha Enemy" paused.

As if remembering something, after a long pause, he continued:

"However—even if that Ogata Ittosai is arrested now, it won't matter."

"Even if he is caught by 'Guiping' now, he will neither die nor be severely tortured."

"It will only be sent to Jiyi."
