It all happened too fast.

One second it was calm, and the next second two assassins suddenly appeared and came towards her. This unexpected change of situation made Gua Shengxiu involuntarily show a dumbfounded expression.

As for Bai Ju...she didn't even react.

On her pretty face was a look of happiness that she had survived the disaster.

Just 3 more seconds...

After 3 seconds, the swords of the two samurai will fall on Gua Shengxiu and Bai Ju.

Three seconds later, blood splattered and life passed away.

After 3 seconds, two more corpses, one old and one young, will appear on the ground...

Presumably, anyone would think so before witnessing the next scene.

At this critical moment, a scene that shocked Qingdeng suddenly happened to Gua Shengxiu.

Gua Shengxiu was deeply shocked by the sudden change in front of him. However, it only happened in a moment.

In an instant, Gua Shengxiu suppressed the astonishment on her face, and at the same time she took action!

I saw that she first pushed the white chrysanthemum in her arms aside, and then took the initiative to greet the two samurai. The two swords were only between Chi Chi and her!

Snap——!

The straw sandals, no bigger than an adult's palm, dragged a long mark on the dusty ground, making a loud friction sound - the melon crop suddenly took half a step to the right.

This mere "half step" allowed Gua Shengxiu to dodge out of the sword path of the strong man among the two samurai.

This mere "half step" separates "life" and "death".

The sword of this big, muscular man flew past Gua Shengxiu's body, and the sharp blade only hit the air in vain.

The displacement distance of Guashengxiu is neither more nor less.

If her stride just now had been a little slower or a little shorter, the outcome would have been very different.

However, dodging the strong man's attack... was not enough.

After all, the people who were slashing at Gua Shengxiu with their swords at this moment were not just strong men.

Whoosh——!

The ugly guy with the birthmark on his face made a knife sound with the wind, and the cold light of the knife filled Gua Shengxiu's field of vision.

Anyone with a certain foundation in martial arts will be able to tell at a glance: Even if Gua Shengxiu has the ability of a "sword master", he cannot avoid the blow of the birthmark face.

Pushing Bai Ju away and dodging the strong man's knife - these two actions took a total of 2 seconds.

In other words, there is only 1 second left for Gua Shengxiu...

1 second... This time is probably only enough for Gua Shengxiu to stretch out her feet.

In such a short period of time, "move to dodge" is out of the question.

The cheeks of the face with the birthmark gradually took on a ferocious color.

He probably thought he had a chance to win.

He probably thought Gua Shengxiu was dead.

At this time, Bai Ju and the surrounding spectators, who had been pushed away by Gua Shengxiu, finally came to their senses and reacted belatedly.

Facing the strong man with a birthmarked face openly displaying a vicious sword on the streets of Yoshiwara, they were all shocked and frightened by the unbelievable situation unfolding in front of them.

Panic spread across all directions like a flood.

"Ooohhhhhhh!"

"Kill, kill someone!"

"Come on, hurry up! There are samurai killing people!"

The crowd screamed in shock, the proud faces with birthmarks, and the expressionless melon show——

All these things were overturned in the next moment.

"Uh?! Wow!"

Gua Shengxiu grabbed the wrist and elbow of the birthmark face holding the sword with lightning speed, followed his movements and twisted his right arm behind his back.

Birthmark Face screamed.

The attack was neutralized and his right arm was twisted behind his back - as a result, his body posture was inevitably damaged and his center of gravity became unstable.

In the next breath, Gua Shengxiu flew out a kick with the sole of his foot sticking to the ground, hitting the calf of the face with the birthmark.

The birthmark face was currently in a state where he had not yet had time to reposition his body. In this case, his crucial leg received a heavy kick...

What happens next is not difficult to imagine.

The birthmark face flew up.

The head, which was originally on top, shifted to the bottom; the feet, which were originally on the bottom, shifted to the top, and the whole person was directly lifted off the ground.

Gua Shengxiu took advantage of the situation and let go of the birthmark-faced arm.

The birthmark face that lost its "restraint" immediately spun around in mid-air like a top, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Gua Shengxiu's moves are less like Jiu Jitsu and more like Aikido.

Aikido is a defensive and counter-attack martial art that utilizes the kinetic energy of the attacker to control energy, and is biased towards technical control. It emphasizes "conquering strength with softness", "defense and counter-attack", and "using strength to exert force". It does not advocate active attack, which is a bit like

Tai Chi.

However, if Aoshito remembers correctly, the real Aikido would not be born until the beginning of the 20th century.

Therefore, Aikido cannot appear in this era.

What Gua Shengxiu used should only be similar to Aikido.

At this time, the birthmark face, the strong man and Qingdeng all heard the cold old voice:

"Don't underestimate the elderly. When I'm fighting a terrifying enemy that you, young children, can't even imagine, your parents don't know where to feed them!"

Gua Shengxiu's defensive counterattack was really excellent.

However, having a birthmark face is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Just when he was about to fall headfirst to the ground, he let out a muffled grunt, performed an exquisite bodyguard in time, and landed his feet firmly back on the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The strong man gritted his teeth in frustration, raised his knife and turned around, intending to launch a new round of offensive against Gua Shengxiu.

However, at this moment, the birthmark face shouted loudly:

"Don't worry about this old man! It's important to kill Bai Ju!"

The birthmark face made the strong man's movements stop.

Despite his unwillingness, the strong man still chose to listen to the birthmark face's order and turned his head that was already facing Gua Shengxiu to face Baiju.

The moment the strong man turned his head... his eyes were filled with flying black scarves!

"Nioh" has arrived!

Natural Rishinryu·Torawei!

The blade as bright as a mirror cut off the sight of Ye Feng and the strong man!

The strong man's expression was suddenly dominated by intense fear.

"Tiger Tail" is a horizontal slashing technique in Natural Rishin-ryu.

Once struck by Qingdeng's blow, the strong man's head would definitely be split into two halves.

But what is unexpected is that not only does the birthmark face have extraordinary skills, but even the strong man also has two brushes.

The strong man's consciousness was still immersed in "shock", but his body took action a moment earlier - he took half a step back.

It was this half-step that allowed him to save his life.

The strong man's head narrowly escaped Echizen's "sure kill range".

However, the blade of Echizen Sumihitachi Moru Kaneshige still cut into the strong man's body.

The sharp tip of the knife was pulled directly from the strong man's left cheek to his right cheek.

As the strong man screamed, blood foam flew and blood flowed like a stream.

But in the blink of an eye, most of the strong man's face was soaked in bright red blood.

"Oh shit!"

Qingdeng heard the footsteps and curses coming from the birthmark face beside him.

Birthmark Face came to support.

He must have realized that if he didn't come to the strong man's aid quickly, the strong man would definitely die.

The birthmark face stepped forward——
