I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Oh, I'm either sitting on the tatami or lying on the bed recently. I haven't moved for a long time, and my shoulders are really stiff."

Raksha raised the love knife in his hand...Changyang Zhengzong high above his head, and then swung it down heavily.

The blood attached to the knife fell to the ground.

At this time, the two brothers and sisters who collapsed on the ground both groaned silently.

"Oh? I'm still alive... When my sword was about to fall, did you instinctively dodge it... There's a way. The names of 'Huofuzhigou' and 'Xiao Zuo' are really not in vain of."

Rakshasa's tone and expression were very frivolous, making it difficult to distinguish whether he was sincerely praising him or mocking him falsely.

"Ho...! Ho...! Ho...! Ho...!"

Chusuke, who was in a pool of blood, raised his head with difficulty, staring at Raksha who was still standing in front of him and Qin.

The blood dripping from the wound on his chest has already stained most of his clothes and the ground under him red.

So is the piano. The place where she was stabbed was also her chest, and the blood flowed like a waterfall.

Although the brothers and sisters relied on their martial arts strength and combat experience accumulated over the years, they reflexively dodged the moment before Luo Sha's knife was about to hit their bodies, but they only escaped the "death on the spot" It's just fate...

The two brothers and sisters were wounded critically, even if they were sent to the hospital immediately, they would still die.

Severe pain spread throughout Chusuke and Qin's whole bodies, and the consciousness was torn apart by the pain. Not to mention talking and moving the body, it was difficult to even think normally.

A look of astonishment as if seeing some unbelievable scenery gradually appeared on Qin's face that was fading from blood.

Luo Sha's slash just now... She didn't see clearly at all.

Although she dare not call herself "powerful", Qin thinks her swordsmanship is still a little level.

With her absolute strength, she took a seat in the Xiaoqianye Sword Gym where there are so many strong people. Not to mention the juniors, even many seniors who were exposed to swordsmanship earlier than her have become her defeated opponents.

I'm like this... I can't even see the trajectory of the knife shot by this young man of unknown origin... I can't even react...

If it's just that, then that's fine, Qin can still accept it.

However, the elder brother... is so powerful that it has made countless thieves frightened. The elder brother who was dubbed the majestic title of "The Dog of Fire" was killed by this weird man who called himself Raksha...

This makes it hard for Qin to accept...

After all, Zhongsuke's willpower was stronger than Qin's. He endured the pain and turned to look at his sister beside him.

As a front-line military officer and criminal investigator who has been dealing with danger, blood, and corpses all year round, Zhongsuke can tell at a glance: his sister, like him, is seriously injured and will die soon...

"Xiaoqin... Damn..."

Jean couldn't speak anymore, but he could barely squeeze some vague words from between his teeth.

"You bastard……!"

Chusuke turned his grief and indignation into hatred.

"Could it be... all of you...? Everything that happened recently... the fire in the prison in Kodenmacho... the killing of Akabane's family... Tachibana-kun's disappearance... these... are all caused by you ……?!"

"Hey, hello." Luo Sha spread his hands, "Don't get me wrong, what you just said about the fire, the killing of the whole family, the disappearance of Juqingdeng, these messy things, can None of our business."

"What motive do I have for being so cruel to Ju Qingdeng, who I admire so much? I have always valued talents the most. I hope that Ju Qingdeng can live a good life and join my subordinates."

"However, I can roughly guess who the instigator of all this is."

"Although we are not the ones who made this bunch of moths, but to say that the culprits behind this series of incidents have nothing to do with us...that's not true."

Speaking of this, Luo Sha raised his hand and scratched his hair, showing distress.

"Heh, that guy's resentment is really deep enough... It's been such a long time, are you still unwilling to let the Tachibana family go..."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I seem to have strayed too much, let's get back to business."

"Huofuzhigou, did I just say that? The reason why we came here to kill you is only because you know too much, and we can't let you continue to investigate."

"As early as 10 days ago, we sent people to monitor the door of your house, waiting for the best time to assassinate. It was purely an accident that we chose to do it tonight. Who told you to go out for a walk just tonight?"

"As for your sister... this is even more unexpected."

Luo Sha sighed softly, and there was a regret on his face that people could not feel the slightest element of fraud.

"Our target is only you. If possible, we don't want to involve too many irrelevant people, especially Lingmei."

"I have always valued talent the most. Lingmei is a rare heroine among women. To kill such a talent... This is really too heavy for me."

"But there is no way, we can't let the 'witnesses' who saw me kill them live, I can only say that this is really unfortunate, this is probably the so-called 'fate', if you didn't take your sister out for a walk tonight... Lingmei doesn’t have to die.”

Chusuke's eyes were so wide that the eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out.

Bullshit "too unfortunate"...shit "fate"...the murderer should not pretend to be condescending and compassionate!

Chusuke really wanted to roar like this, but his physical condition no longer allowed him to do so.

He tried his best to speak, but the strange tiredness and sleepiness still overwhelmed him.

He is deeply trapped in a state where he has no concept of time and space, and he is about to lose his sense of self.

The blood flowing out of its body has decreased a lot, because the blood has almost flowed out.

However, in his broken mind like this, a picture revived for no reason.

It was a reddish-purple pill with a strange color.

Knowing too much...can't let me investigate any further...

The only thing that allows Chusuke to connect these two lines of words... is the strange pill that he is currently searching for!

At this moment, Zhongsuke suddenly felt a sinking heart - he suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this medicine a little bit.

Behind this strange pill, there may be hidden...even for him who is well-informed, a huge chain of interests or a huge power that is unimaginable!

"Oh? Fire dog? Fire dog? Can you still hear my voice? Well... it seems that I can't hear you. Anyway, I have talked with you long enough."

After finishing speaking, Raksha turned his wrist and held the knife handle upside down, pointing the knife point directly at Zhongsuke's throat.

"Although even if you don't do anything now, you two brothers and sisters will surely die, but it must be very painful for you to lose too much blood and die alive, so I will give you a ride."

don't want!

Qin really wanted to yell, and wanted to rush forward to protect her brother, but now she couldn't even lift a finger, and her tongue seemed to be unconscious, and it was difficult to move.

Poof - Masamune Changyang pierced Zhongsuke's throat.

Chusuke's pupils shrank suddenly, and then slowly spread...

"now you."

Raksha turned to look at Qin.

Looking at the figure and the tip of the knife approaching her at an unhurried speed, Qin's lips moved slightly... She exhausted the last bit of strength remaining in her body, and whispered softly:

"Brother... Jun Ju..."

...

...

"Lord Rakshasa, thank you for your hard work."

The dozen or so people who surrounded the Jinze brothers and sisters just now surrounded Luosha. The leader of them went on to say:

"Sigh... I feel really sorry...Master Luosha, such dirty and tiring work should not be done by you..."

"do not mind."

Raksha took out a pocket paper from his waist to wipe the blade, and smiled freely.

"I've been too idle recently. I either lie down or sit every day. My body becomes dull. If I don't find something to do, I'll be bored to death."

Luo Sha put the cleaned Changyang Zhengzong back into the sheath.

At this time, a short figure emerged from the slanting thorns.

"Lord Rakshasa."

"Oh, it's Kappa, what's the matter?"

"If nothing happens, I won't come to you."

The Kappa quickly ran to Raksha's side and whispered something to Raksha.

"Oh?" Raksha raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Has the new wife Kuan finally recovered..."

...

...

the next day.

In the second year of Wanyan (1861), on January 18, the morning——

From the time when the sky was barely bright, it began to snow.

Thick clouds blocked the sky and the earth, and only a little sunlight barely penetrated the gap between the clouds.

Translucent snowflakes passed people's sight and fell on the cold corpses of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters...

"Back off! Everyone back off! Everyone back off! Don't get close!"

"Hey! Someone really got killed!"

"Sigh... I thought Edo would become more stable after the Kobari Group was wiped out..."

"Ah! I recognize the deceased! That man seems to be the captain of the second team of Huofu Thief Kai: Kanazawa Zhongsuke!"

"Cadasuke Kanazawa? Is that 'Hokatsu no Dog'?"

"Even such a powerful man was killed? Who is the murderer..."

...

Surrounding the dead bodies of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters, there were crowds of onlookers who came to join in the fun because they heard that someone had been killed.

The officials of their own fan used their bodies as a wall, desperately preventing idlers from approaching the scene of the crime.

At this time, there were loud footsteps in the distance.

A group of warriors in black uniforms appeared in the southeast direction. They were in a hurry, their faces livid.

"Ah! It's Huo Fu Thief Kai!"

someone said.

"It's my grandson Chutaro, the leader of the Huofu Thief Changing First Division, and Mizushima Rensaburo, the captain of the Fourth Division!"

Another added.

The Huofu thieves turned officials, led by my grandson and Mizushima, squeezed through the crowd, and after handing over to their own officials who maintained order on the scene, they walked slowly to the dead bodies of Chusuke and Qin.

"Kanazawa-kun...Miss Kanazawa..." Mizushima squatted on the ground, staring at the lifeless faces of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters.

Mizushima is known for being serious and unsmiling, but his expression is distorted at this time.

His eyebrows stood upright, and the center of his brows was wrinkled into a "Chuan" character, his cheeks were slightly swollen due to clenched teeth, his face was bloodless, his hands were clenched into fists, and his joints were white.

In comparison, my grandson on the side is much calmer.

Whether it was when he was on his way just now, or when he arrived at the scene of the crime, and now he was next to the dead bodies of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters, my grandson remained calm and looked as usual.

He didn't squat down, just stood with his arms folded, glanced roughly, and looked around.

Suddenly, Miza's footsteps sounded again outside the crowd of onlookers.

"Ah, it's Nishino from Beifansuo! Nishino from Beifansuo is here!"

My grandson, Mizushima and others followed the prestige.

I saw a stern-looking young man dressed in the same heart, leading several young people who looked like Okaki, striding towards them.

"Nishino... Nishino Hoshijiro..."

While muttering, Mizushima stood up and went to Nishino.

"first meet."

Nishino was the first to report to the house.

"In the town of Shimokita, Hosojiro Nishino, Hoshijiro Nishino. He was entrusted with full responsibility for the case of the 'Kanazawa Brothers and Sisters Killed'."

At present, there is no evidence to prove that "Qingdeng's disappearance", "Akabane's family was murdered" and "Kanaze brothers and sisters were murdered" are related.

If we only focus on the case itself, then the killing of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters is just a murder that can be seen everywhere.

Since it was just an ordinary homicide, it naturally didn't need to call out the "special police force": Huo Fu Thieves.

Therefore, the case was naturally handed over to the department in charge of general criminal cases: the "Three Returns" of the Enforcement Office.

It is January now, which is the month when Beifan is responsible for administering Edo.

"Nishino-kun, I have admired your name for a long time."

Mizushima said sternly.

"Being able to be supervised by the famous 'Beifan Institute's No. 1 Case Detective Expert' will give me a lot of peace of mind."

When Qingdeng was not yet on the rise, Nishino was the face and trump card of Beifansuo.

His record is brilliant, and he has cracked many major and important cases.

"You are amazing." Nishino said indifferently, "The cases that I am unable to handle are far more than the cases that I have successfully solved."

The commissioner in charge of handling the case has already arrived at the scene of the crime, so if these unrelated people continue to stay here, it will only cause trouble for other people's work.

So, without waiting for Nishino's urging, my grandson and Mizushima consciously led the subordinates away.

My grandson Ben stood a little far away from Nishino.

But when he left, he deliberately took a few steps away and walked towards Xi Ye.

Just when he was about to pass Nishino...he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Nishino-kun..."

He lowered his voice, and said quickly at a volume that only he and Nishino could hear clearly:

"The fatal wound of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters was a knife wound on the chest. Judging from the shape, size, location, height, and depth of the wound...it was a knife drawing technique."

"The murderer's height is about six feet (180cm), tall and slender, and he should not be too old. He is a master of Iaido who can use sword drawing so fast that even Kanazawa-kun can't react."

"Even though the fatal wound was on the chest, Mr. Kanazawa and Ms. Kanazawa's neck arteries have been repaired."

"The main artery in the neck was cut off, but not much blood came out, which means that the blood in Jin Zejun and Miss Jin Ze's body was almost exhausted before the knife was repaired."

"There is not a short period of time between the 'chest wound' and the 'recovered knife'."

"During this period of time, the murderer was most likely chatting with Jin Zejun and Miss Jin Ze."

"This means that the murderer has a strong desire to express himself. Not only will he not feel any resistance to the 'killing' thing, but he also has the leisure to chat with the victim...he is an incredible pervert or lunatic."

"Please be careful."

"?!" Nishino raised his eyebrows in surprise, then quickly turned to look at my grandson.

At this time, my grandson had already walked away without looking back, leaving only a mysterious figure behind.

...

...

Um……?

Qingdeng blinked vigorously a few times, and then scanned the surroundings with astonishment.

Here is... where...?

As far as the eye can see, there is a foggy...

The milky white mist obscured the vision, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Qingdeng tried to speak out and move his feet, but found that he couldn't speak a word, his body couldn't move at all, and he couldn't even lift a finger.

Here... what exactly is this place?

Qingdeng asked again in his heart.

In an instant, as if in response to Qing Deng's question, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The fog dissipated quickly.

Gradually, you can see the scenery hidden in the thick fog—an extremely familiar scenery.

With just one glance, Qingdeng recognized where this place was.

This is the Dojo of the Trial Guard Hall.

The spacious and tidy dojo, the sword barrels and bamboo swords neatly placed on the side of the dojo...everything is the same as the testing hall in Qingdeng's memory.

call! call! call!

Suddenly, Qingdeng heard the sound of a bamboo sword being swung in front of him.

He stared ahead.

In an instant, Qingdeng's eyes widened in astonishment.

Such a statement...maybe it's strange...but Qingdeng saw himself.

Not seeing yourself reflected in the mirror.

Instead, he really saw another self, standing in the center of the dojo in front of him, practicing Su Zhen meticulously facing the air in front of him.

As if sensing Qingdeng's sight, "Qingdeng" stopped the bamboo sword in his hand.

"Ju Qingdeng, you are really enviable."

Holding the bamboo sword, "Qingdeng" turned around slowly, facing Qingdeng, with an intriguing smile on his face.

"The last one, and the last one who came here, Genichi Kinoshita and Itsue Ogata, worked hard to improve their martial arts attainments to the extreme, and after experiencing countless life-threatening crises, I finally got the 'ticket' to visit this place..."

"And you... well, forget it, this is the so-called 'extraordinary talent'. Who made you and I have a naturally high affinity."

"Qingdeng" played with the bamboo sword in his hand like a child.

"However, this place is still too early for you. You are not qualified to touch this realm yet."

As soon as the words "Qingdeng" fell, Qingdeng felt his eyes go dark.

The boundless darkness climbed from the corner of the eye to the center of the field of vision little by little like tentacles, followed by a strong sense of drowsiness.

"We'll meet again...in the not-too-distant future."

"Qingdeng" showed a bright smile—this was the last scene Qingdeng saw before his vision and consciousness were swallowed by darkness.

...

...

"Well……"

Qing Deng slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh? Ah! Mr. Ju, you finally woke up!"

"Hmm..." Qingdeng turned his head to look at the person who spoke, "Tianzhang Court... Your Highness...?"
