Tiger Chiyo is different from ordinary little girls who like dolls.
She has absolutely no interest in the things that little girls like.
She likes swords.
When the little girls of the same age were playing house with dolls, she held a wooden knife and sword every day, waving and fighting.
Hearing the sound of the wind blowing over the wooden sword in his hand.
She felt extremely happy.
So much so that she, who was less than seven years old, quietly ran into her father's study.
There, there is a real sword!
She wants to touch the real sword!
As a result, of course it failed.
As soon as she entered the study, she was discovered by her father.
Then, she suffered the most severe reprimand since she was born.
Because her father thought she was unladylike.
It's really bad to enter the study without permission.
Especially under the premise of being specifically told.
As the daughter of the Uesugi family, it is natural to become a lady.
Have good etiquette and tutoring.
Can't be willful.
You can't even do something unseemly.
And her 'mistake' this time proved that her usual education was a failure.
After the most severe reprimand in her memory, she did not scold her too much, but instead had a look of self-blame and guilt—because, her father thought that he did not pay enough attention to her or love her enough, so Let her have such excessive behavior.
For quite a long time after that, her father accompanied her in class and reading, and every week he would choose a picnic in the countryside in the afternoon when the weather was good.
She also confessed how she felt at the time.
Hearing her words, her father smiled.
Touching her head, she sighed.
Up to now, she still remembers her father's words at that time—
'it's common. '
'I also liked swords as a kid. '
'The charm of the sword is often gender-neutral. '
'They are sharp, and with a deadly temptation, who can refuse it? '
'However, the times are advancing! '
'Gunpowder appeared! '
'Guns appeared! '
'During the Warring States period, you should be a girl from the Wu family. Even if you don't want to learn, I will force you to learn sword, bow, arrow and horsemanship, etc., because that will be the foundation of your life. '
'Can now? '
'Even if you practice swords for ten years, you still can't resist a bullet. '
'More importantly, the sword is not the foundation of our life. '
'Now society has become 'civilized'. '
'Some things are never put on the table. '
She thought her father was right.
After all, her cognition told her so.
The information conveyed on TV and in newspapers is the same.
No one can withstand a bullet with a sword.
And her love for swords
It should be just like what my father said.
Fascinated by the weapon itself.
Although she was curious as to why she didn't have such a liking for guns, this did not prevent her from learning everything that ladies and gentlemen should learn as the daughter of the Uesugi family.
Jewelry, clothes, tea art, equestrian, shooting and so on.
Over the course of the years and years, she has learned.
Moreover, the grades are excellent, and he is one of the best.
At this time, her love for swords has long been buried in her heart.
until-
help me!
help me!
Such shouts appeared beside my ears.
who
Who is there
She asked subconsciously, and her footsteps began to move in the direction of the shout.
As the daughter of the Uesugi family, it is impossible for her to ignore death.
This is what her father told her.
And her father led by example.
Therefore, Tiger Chiyo did not hesitate.
What puzzled Torachiyo was that no matter how she ran in the direction of the sound, she seemed unable to get close to the sound.
Moreover, what surprised Tiger Chiyo the most was that.
This is a dream!
She, her mother, her father, were all having the same dream.
coincide
How could there be such a coincidence
She and her father and mother did not believe it.
Her father sprang into action immediately.
There was some news on the Shangshan family's connections and financial resources that day.
For the first time, she saw consternation on her father's face.
It was an incredible astonishment.
'Tora Chiyo, maybe I'm wrong. '
That night, her father apologized to her inexplicably.
No questioning.
She already guessed something.
In addition to her and her father's cognition, there is a world of 'common sense'.
In that world, 'tradition' remains.
In fact, it is.
In the next few days, when her father brought back more and more news, a brand new 'world' filled her eyes.
Onmyoji.
Swordsman.
demon.
There are also many strange talents.
Among these people, there are means that can easily resist bullets with swords.
or…
Just cut off the bullet.
This is why her father apologized.
'Sorry, Tiger Chiyo, I was too selfish and arrogant back then. '
Her father apologized again.
She shook her head, signaling her father not to do this.
Because her father is a good father.
Gave her everything she deserved.
There are many more preferences.
As for the liking of swords
Who can guarantee that if you like swords, you will be able to become a swordsman
In the 'inner world', sword masters are also rare.
More are just some swordsmen who use their bodies as blades, life and death at the moment.
When the blood spurts, it carries a cruel romance.
These swordsmen pursued such a path.
However, in her opinion, it is far less important than family.
Therefore, when her father went to look for the 'exorcist' again, she did not wait at the ancestral house, but waited halfway.
Then, she saw the exorcist and his assistant.
The exorcist was tall and strong, but his assistant caught her attention even more.
After all, it was the first time she saw a girl taller than her.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, her height has always been a major obstacle to her becoming a socialite and lady.
Shimauchi likes petite and cute girls.
And she
Known as the giantess.
I really want to beat up the guy who gave her this nickname.
But as a lady, how could she do this
She just fed the other party cow dung.
Very merciful means.
I just didn't expect that the assistant had a similar experience.
After chatting, she suddenly discovered that not only were they similar in age, they had similar experiences, and they also had many of the same hobbies.
Soon, the two became good friends.
Tiger Chiyo cherishes this friendship very much.
Because, in Torachiyo's view, when this 'exorcism' is completed, that is the end of this friendship.
only…
Why
Why did it become like this
Why is my heart beating so fast
The flames are raging.
The sword flickered.
Hot and cold.
Slash and collide.
This scene made Tiger Chiyo's breathing become short.
There was an inexplicable... joy in her heart.
It is a kind of joy that comes only after seeing something you really like.
just like…
Once the sword!
No!
Family is more important!
But with a sword, isn't it better to protect your family
But death will come sooner!
That's better than sitting still!
Jason can save you, save your parents once.
But it is impossible to save every time.
Can't you see it
They are here for your family!
In Tiger Chiyo's mind, thoughts surged, as if two villains were arguing.
And her gaze was locked on Jason from beginning to end.
I can't even move it!
because-
She saw her dream in Jason!
What she once thought was an unattainable and unrealistic dream just appeared in front of her eyes!
Just like that, her solidified cognition was smashed.
Let her heart speed up, thump, thump.
Let her eyes never move away.
Those gazes were dazzling.
Because that's the color of 'dreams'.
That gaze was full of scorching heat.
Because that's the 'dream' temperature.
No one noticed Tora Chiyo's strangeness, even Uesugi and others who were close at hand.
Dreams, that's all.
Before it is realized, it is always so silent.
But Jason noticed something.
He did not discover Torachiyo's dream.
It's just that in perception, Torachiyo's gaze was too hot, which caught Jason's attention.
But immediately, Jason's attention was on the nine figures who drew their swords on the opposite side.
Compared with Torachiyo, the nine people in front of him are undoubtedly more worthy of attention.
The breath of the nine made Jason's eyes narrow slightly.
The flames on his body also made a burning sound.
Jason on full alert!
And, go all out!
Facing every battle, Jason will go all out.
this time
No exception!
As for relying on talent
That was just one of Jason's fighting styles, never everything about Jason's fighting.
"Your Excellency Jason, please be careful."
After saying such words, the leader of the "Ten Swordsmen" slashed out.
There is no sword energy.
All he has is a quick cut with a long knife!
quick!
Unparalleled speed!
Under the eyes of ordinary people, the leader of the "Ten Swordsmen" appeared in front of Jason with double images, and the knife in the opponent's hand disappeared.
until-
clang!
The long knife cut Jason's neck.
The armor made by [Charles Burning Technique] was chopped off, exposing Jason's skin, but, amidst the splashing sparks, the long knife stopped after touching Jason's skin.
Jason was still unscathed.
The blade whizzing past stopped at this moment.
All he had was Jason's indifferent gaze.
Obviously there is no threatening atmosphere, but Didi cold sweat seeps from the forehead of the leader of the 'Ten Swordsmen'.
He has done his best.
This knife is the essence of his 'Kendo'.
It can even be said to be what he has learned all his life.
However, facing such a knife, Jason did not dodge at all.
Even the flames in his hands trembled slightly.
Is this restraining the urge to draw a knife
Is it just to experience my knife with your body
Formidable opponent!
The thoughts surging in his mind caused the leader of the 'Ten Swordsmen' to retreat.
That speed is even faster than before.
And Jason still didn't move.
Just stood there looking at each other.
call!
Seeing that Jason didn't pursue him, the leader of the 'Ten Swordsmen' let out a deep breath.
"'Ming Wang does not move' really lives up to its reputation!"
"Use your body to feel my strongest knife!"
The other party said in a deep voice.
Jason, who was covered in flames, frowned.
Use your body to experience it
He couldn't react in time and couldn't avoid it!
With an agility of 6.7, which is more than 6 times that of ordinary people, Jason has no ability to dodge the blow of the leader of the "Ten Swordsmen".
The opponent is too fast!
It was getting too close for Jason to deal with!
At least an 8 or 9!
No!
Perhaps it is possible to reach the degree of 10.
Jason guessed from the bottom of his heart.
However, the whole person remained indifferent.
Life in the 'city that never sleeps' has already made him understand that when the enemy suspects you have something, you'd better have it.
otherwise…
The consequences could be disastrous!
That's what he's going to do now.
So, afterward, he said something lightly.
"continue."
If the speed can't keep up, it doesn't mean that there is no way to solve the immediate battle.
After becoming a 'postman', Jason considered numerous scenarios of encountering sudden and unfavorable battles based on the 'postman', and considered many solutions.
After becoming a 'foodie' by accident, Jason's good habits continue to remain.
"If it were in normal times, I would definitely fight with you as a swordsman."
"But it's different now."
"In order to organize, I have to win."
"So, I'm sorry!"
After the voice of the leader of the 'Ten Swordsmen' fell, the eight surrounding 'Ten Swordsmen' immediately shot.
In an instant, the sword qi crisscrossed—
or sharp.
or heavy.
or fast.
or ethereal.
or diffuse.
or concentrate.
Eight different sword qi directly enveloped Jason.
After judging that at least two of the sword qi could not be dodged, Jason fortunately gave up the idea of dodging, and he stood still and resisted.
He trusts his own defense.
After all, this is what he deliberately pursued to be stronger and tougher in order to make better use of his talent.
[War pattern. Prussia. Griffin. Shadow concealment body training technique] + [Charles burning technique]!
The former is the core.
The latter is the epidermis.
The epidermis was constantly broken and chopped.
But the core is solid.
Clang, clang!
Intensive beating sounds appeared on Jason's body.
None of the eight sword qi fell.
Next came the sword bearer.
The long knives in their hands aimed at Jason's arms, legs, lower abdomen, lower back and eyes.
The eight sharp long knives fell on Jason's body almost in no particular order.
However, it was still the sound of clashing metal.
Lie Yan was split again.
But the skin remains intact.
The eight members of the "Ten Knives" seemed to have expected this outcome, and each of them stuck to Jason's body with a "knife" with a calm expression, as if they were "holding" Jason.
The leader of the 'ten knives' took advantage of this moment to aim his blade at Jason again.
It's just that this time, the other party didn't attack right away.
Instead, accumulate energy!
Also accumulating strength are the eight members of the 'Ten Swordsmen'.
The eight people who seemed to be 'holding' Jason, the 'knives' in their hands were 'supplying' power to the knife of their leader bit by bit.
"careful!"
Kakizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe were the first to notice this change, and shouted together.
Jason, who was shrouded in flames, opened his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile.
Everything in front of him was better than he imagined!
He was 'caught'.
But on the other hand, why wasn't the 'Ten Swordsmen' caught by him
it's time!
next moment-
Thick fog rose.
Death permeates.
