Chapter 193 Kenshin Falls Asleep
Chapter 193 Kenshin Falls Asleep
A corner of the palace.
Outside, gunfire erupted, but inside the room, Taiyi sat quietly in the bathtub, letting Afeng wipe his body.
As for Doma, he had laid out a mat on the floor and was lying on his side, propping his head up with one hand, watching Taiichi.
"Hey, it's so noisy outside, and you still have the confidence to take a bath here?"
Seeing Taiichi's closed eyes and silent appearance, Doma, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but voice his question.
Wow...
As if his words had reminded Taiyi, a strong body rose from the bathtub with the sound of water.
Ok?
Depend on!
Looking at Taichi's naked body, Doma couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when his gaze swept over a certain spot.
Awesome, no wonder you're so good.
Who can beat a man who carries an iron rod with him?
Behind him, Ah Feng was only wearing a white, open-chested gauze dress, which had become very transparent after being soaked in water.
"Change."
"Yes."
He hurriedly caught up with Taiyi, and then Afeng wiped his hands clean and put on the clothes that had been prepared beforehand, one by one.
He was still dressed in the same red and white outfit, the only difference being that Taiyi now wore a fanged Shura mask.
Once everything was finished, he opened his palm.
The Mortal Blade, which had been lying still on the floor, was instantly sucked into his hand as soon as the door opened.
"Hey, which side are you going to take on?"
"I won't help either side."
"Huh? Are you kidding me? You went through all that trouble to make them fight, just to watch the show?"
"No, I did it to heal myself."
"Hey, how do you treat it?"
"Once they're all dead, I'll be normal again..."
With a hiss, the paper sliding door was pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight that rushed in made it impossible for Doma behind Taichi to see more than a tall figure bathed in golden light.
Ah Feng knelt on one side of the doorway, bowed deeply, and said:
"My lord, I wish you great success in your military campaigns."
"Ah."
With each step he took, tiny particles began to rise from Taiyi's skin once again.
Extending his empty palm, looking at the steaming mist, Taiyi's lips slowly curled up, widening until finally, the expression beneath the mask became incredibly ferocious.
It's been twenty-seven years...
It's been such a long time.
"Sakura Dragon, from this moment on, this world... belongs to me."
......
Within the Kyoto Imperial Palace, which is the area where the Emperor resides.
The Choshu Domain's army was about to enter the Imperial Palace when the Satsuma army suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.
When the attack is thwarted, someone has to step up and break through.
However, at this moment, Kenshin Himura was caught in a fierce battle.
Simply because his current opponent is not human!
Ding!
The blades clashed, sending sparks flying.
Kenshin spread his feet apart, bent his knees and shifted his center of gravity, but even so, he was still pushed back several meters by the force of the recoil.
"Who exactly are you? I can't sense any human presence in you."
With his nostrils flared, Kenshin aimed his sword at his opponent while carefully sensing their aura.
After repeatedly confirming, he seemed to feel that the enemy he was facing was like a cold corpse.
"Heh heh, is that all? Human Qi warriors are nothing special."
A human with vertical pupils, like a snake, grinned, revealing two sharp teeth.
His skin was deathly pale, and he looked at Kenshin as if he were food.
"I am a demon from Satsuma, a high-level life form, the most perfect creation of this world."
"It seems you are one of the stronger among humans."
"Then your meat must be very delicious!"
boom!
With a powerful stomp of his foot against the ground, accompanied by flying debris and dust spreading to both sides, this cannibalistic warrior, unaffected by sunlight, swung his long sword at Kenshin.
Before the person even arrived, the sword energy was already upon them.
The silver slash, carrying a sharp cutting intent, attacked diagonally towards the sword's heart.
Faced with this attack, Kenshin naturally mobilized his internal energy to retaliate in the same way.
With a deafening roar, like a cannon firing, the battlefield erupted.
Before the dust had settled, the two figures charged directly at each other.
Then came the dense clanging of blades, accompanied by sparks flying everywhere.
"Haha, what? You can't stop it already?"
"Remember my surname. I am a demon samurai of the Kazama family, and I am also a disciple of Lord Tsugikuni. I am a demon samurai who can wield sword energy!"
The oni warrior, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, slammed his sword down with great force, striking the blade that was parrying upwards.
It must be said that the sword given to him by Katsura Kogoro was a treasure.
With an ordinary blade, it wouldn't have lasted this long after so many collisions.
Blood vessels bulged at the corners of his eyes as Kenshin struggled to withstand the opponent's blade.
Even though his face turned bright red, the Oni Samurai continued to slowly lower his long sword until the sharp blade sliced through his shoulder.
"Hehe, you're already very strong, but even so, you're still human."
"And this is the limit of human capability. Divide me in two..."
Ok?
Just as the Oni Samurai was about to increase his strength and completely cleave the short human warrior in front of him, a figure even taller than him appeared from behind the dust and smoke.
Call ~
Boom!
The weather was sunny and clear, but for some reason, thick, leaden clouds suddenly appeared and covered the sky.
Thunder rumbled through the clouds, and a sudden gust of wind swept away all the smoke and dust.
The demon warrior stared wide-eyed at the human standing behind him, who was nearly two meters tall and wore a blue-faced, fanged Shura mask.
"You are......"
Swish!
Before he could finish speaking, a strange red light flashed before his eyes, and then he felt his waist lighten, and his hands holding the knife became even weaker.
Two objects fell to the ground in quick succession, followed by the Oni Samurai's heart-wrenching screams.
Kenshin stood there blankly, staring at the Oni Samurai who had been cut in two, the golden flames igniting from the broken ends of his body. He was unable to think for a moment, his mind a complete blank.
What is this? And who is this?
With just a light slash, he killed such a powerful enemy. How could there be such a powerful person in this world!
That's right, Kenshin can now be certain that although the other person is wearing a mask, they are a human.
However, this way of making an appearance did indeed shock him.
"Thank you for your help. I am Kenshin Himura, a righteous man from the Choshu Domain who participated in the Meiji Restoration. May I ask who you are...?"
boom!
puff!
I originally thought that since the other party helped me kill the enemy, even if they were not a comrade of the Choshu Domain, they should at least be an ally.
As a result, the other party appeared in front of him as if in a flash while he was speaking and punched him hard in the stomach.
Saliva and blood spurted out, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and a sharp, cramping pain shot through his abdomen, causing Kenshin's consciousness to begin to blur.
Before he fainted, he heard a sentence from the masked man.
"Young people are so healthy; they can fall asleep anywhere."
