"Su Nuo, stop talking nonsense, come and help!"

"Okay, okay, I'll come right away."

As he spoke, Su Nuo raised the two swords in his hands, like a mantis with its claws spread out.

In the next breath, he jumped up like a green onion and jumped into the fierce battle not far away.

It was only then that Katsura Kogoro realized that there were three more unfamiliar figures on the scene.

One of them was none other than Su Nuo.

The Erdao style is a genre that is extremely difficult to encounter in reality.

The two-sword style that best fits the popular impression is a katana and a wakizashi.

Unless you are extremely brave, you will not be able to use these two knives.

Even the most mainstream "one sword and one wakizashi" is so rare, let alone the ability to use two swords.

In his entire life, Katsura Kogoro has never heard of, let alone seen, anyone using two tachi as weapons.

It was an eye-opener for him today.

I saw that Su Nuo really looked like a praying mantis! The two swords seemed to be connected to his arms, and every move and every style was so flexible.

He swings his knife as fast as a propeller, harvesting human lives as he pleases!

The other person has a big bald head. At first glance, I thought he was a monk soldier.

He is obviously not young, but he dances a nearly 2-meter-long Odachi sword up and down.

As a well-informed top swordsman, Katsura Kogoro could tell at a glance that this bald man was a student of Satsuma Shigenryu.

The Odachi is a powerful and heavy weapon.

And the Satsuma Show Style is a style that maximizes attack power.

The two combined...the power is jaw-dropping!

He just turned the Odachi into a war hammer!

Wherever the Odachi passed, the tree broke and the human body shattered!

As for the last person, he is a handsome young man with a handsome face.

From the outside, he doesn't look like a swordsman at all.

He has fair skin, a tall figure, and handsome features. He looks like a scholar, but he doesn't look like a samurai wielding a sword or a spear.

However...his strength is the strongest among the three!

The fierceness of his sword skills is truly astonishing.

He seemed to be transformed into three, five, or eight people, constantly swooping, running, leaping, and attacking.

Vertical chop, horizontal slash, thrust, upward thrust... the blade in his hand was as flexible as a whip.

Every time his body moves, every time the blade in his palm is injured, the Huisa soldiers around him will definitely be killed or wounded!

With his extraordinary experience, Katsura Kogoro saw the shadow of many swordsmanships in him.

The agility of Beichen's Yidao style.

The tyranny of Shinto Muken-ryu.

Jing Xin is smart and unrestrained.

The so-called "gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought" is nothing better than this!

His artistic and graceful swordsmanship even stunned Katsura Kogoro, a great swordsman.

Thanks to these three top masters who suddenly appeared, the rear army, which was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly turned the tide of the battle!

The Huisa soldiers on the scene also tried to kill these three people.

From duels to sieges, from frontal challenges to shameless sneak attacks, they tried every trick.

However...their counterattack was like a mantis trying to block a car! It was of no use at all!

Not to mention annihilating these three people, the blades of the Huisa soldiers could not even scratch the corners of their clothes!

Under the violent attack of these three men, the Huisa soldiers who had reached this point finally collapsed because they could not bear the casualties and pressure.

They scrambled to escape.

After a while, the noisy woods, which had been extremely noisy due to the chaos of fighting, slowly returned to silence.

"Aizu and Satsuma...that's all."

While Su Nuo said this, he vigorously vibrated the knife to shake off the blood on the two swords.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Umibo next to him sneered "ha".

"Stop bragging here."

"The group of enemy soldiers just now only numbered a hundred or so at most. They were just a small unit of the Huisa Allied Forces."

"If a large force of the Huisa Allied Forces comes, I would like to see if you can still say such beautiful words."

At this time, Shuten Doji interrupted:

"Okay, stop bickering and focus on the business now."

With that said, he put away the sword in his palm, then turned around and walked towards Katsura Kogoro who was not far away.

Katsura Kogoro had already gotten up from the ground and picked up a new knife at the same time.

He just held the knife, lowered his body weight, and looked at Shuten Doji who was getting closer and closer with a wary expression.

The surviving officers and soldiers of the rear army also gathered in twos and threes, guarding Katsura Kogoro's back and left and right sides, and treated this group of uninvited guests cautiously.

"You are Katsura Kogoro, one of the 'Three Heroes of Choshu', right?"

The sentence structure of a question...but the tone of an affirmative sentence.

It seems that Shuten Doji knows Katsura Kogoro, at least he knows what he looks like.

"I've admired your name for a long time, so I'm going to drink wine and swallow the boy..."

"...I've heard of you."

Before Shuten Doji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Katsura Kogoro.

Katsura Kogoro lowered his voice and looked solemn.

"Although I don't know much about it, I have heard the name 'Kill the Party with Law'."

"It was established during the Kanzheng period (1789-1800), more than 70 years ago."

"To a certain extent, you can be considered an organization with a long history."

"Are you the Shuten boy who is as famous as Otakemaru and Tamamozen?"

"You are...younger than I thought."

"I thought that in an 'old organization' like yours, the senior cadres would be older."

Shuten Doji raised his long eyebrows, and then smiled slightly:

"Kasura Kogoro, what you said is wrong."

"Although our party has a long history, our journey along the way has been extremely difficult."

"We have gone through countless changes."

"There were even times when we almost disbanded on the spot."

"In the struggle against the shogunate, we were defeated again and again."

"The cadre level has been replaced countless times."

"For this reason, our cadres are generally young."

"I can even tell you - our most powerful Otakemaru is even younger than me."

Speaking of this, Shuten Doji paused and looked ashamed:

"Oops, that's not good. We started chatting all day long without paying attention."

"Kasura Kogoro, let's talk in detail later."

"Now... let us escape from here together."

There is a saying that "don't hit someone with a smiling face".

From the beginning, Shuten Doji had a friendly smile on his face, and at the same time, he always spoke in a soft voice.

However... Katsura Kogoro didn't buy it.

He did not let down his guard because of Shuten Doji's advances.

His eyes were still full of wariness and suspicion.
