My Gang of Swordsmen

Chapter 331 - 133: Aoto vs. the Man-Slayer Group! Copying the Deceiver Gift! [6800]_3

"What do you mean by fellow travelers? Don’t compare me with scum like you!"

"Surrender now! We appeared here specifically to catch you!"

Kojirō stared expressionlessly at Mukiwa, then let out a cold laugh: "...I’ve recently heard that the Cat Monk is a weirdo who helps the officials catch thieves."

"I never expected the rumors to be true."

"It’s hard to understand. Although you only steal from evil people, at the end of the day, you’re just a thief."

"As a thief, you even help the Magistrate’s Office catch thieves... for no reward, perhaps just some fleeting reputation..."

Having said this, Kojirō sneered disdainfully, then turned his head to look around.

"Facing the Cat Monk, known for his speed and expertise in wall-climbing and roof-running... it’s not easy to escape right under your nose..." After muttering in a self-talking tone, Kojirō’s gaze turned cold, and he signaled to Ichitaro and the others beside him.

Ichitaro grinned, letting out a grim laugh, then first raised his great tachi high over his head.

The shadow of the blade flickered — the Red-faced Brothers and their group raised their swords, casting fierce glances at Aoto and the Cat Monk.

As expected from the Man-Slayer Group, who have killed countless times... After deciding to kill Aoto and the others to silence them, there was no hesitation, no delay.

Seeing this group of perverted murderers, who had all raised their swords with clear intent, Aoto silently extended his thumb, which had been resting on the sword sheath, and with a click, opened the scabbard’s mouth.

There are 8 opponents, while there are only 2 on our side. The enemy with the numeric advantage is completely unaware of their strength — but strangely... the same feeling as when he led Saito and others into the Foreign Language Research Institute surrounded by the Anti-foreigner Group arose. Is it because he has become accustomed to fighting enemies with a numeric advantage up to now?

Aoto didn’t feel afraid at all.

Was he worried that the opponents’ strength might far exceed their expectations, making it difficult for him and Mukiwa to contend? Was he concerned about any unexpected incidents for himself and Mukiwa?

These emotions were completely absent from Aoto’s heart.

At this moment, Aoto only felt an extraordinary calmness in his heart.

In his heart... a vague sense of anticipation emerged.

With a swish, Aoto drew his Orange Water, holding it in front of him in the Xia Gou stance, the gleaming blade tip pointed directly at the Red-faced Brothers.

"Hahaha! I’ve always heard that the Cat Monk is a Female Ninja!" Brother Ichitaro laughed excitedly, "I want to see if the rumors are true!"

Ichitaro, carrying his great tachi, pushed off with his rear foot, taking the lead in charging towards Aoto and Mukiwa.

"Brother!" Kojiro quickly said, "Take down the one with the fox mask and sword first!"

After loudly reminding his brother, Kojiro turned to shout at the rest of the underlings behind him:

"Kuichiro, Hex Sanlang, Tora Goro! The three of you deal with the Cat Monk! It doesn’t matter if you kill him! The others will join me and brother in dealing with the one with the fox mask!"

Aoto had a sword while the Cat Monk was barehanded — Kojiro subconsciously identified Aoto as the "one who must be killed first"!

The great tachi — as the name implies, is a tachi longer and wider than an ordinary tachi.

The great tachi that Ichitaro wielded had a total length of about 1.7 meters.

The greatest advantage of the great tachi is naturally its length and weight.

Only swordsmanship with great wrist strength can handle the impressively weighted great tachi.

Swordsmen using a great tachi generally hold an upper stance — because only with an upper stance can the length advantage of the great tachi be utilized to its fullest, showcasing the full power of the great tachi.

This was Aoto’s first time facing a swordsman using a great tachi. Seeing Ichitaro charging with the sword resting on his right shoulder, he silently focused his mind.

Whoosh — Ichitaro’s great tachi, with an aura that seemed intent on crushing Aoto, slashed heavily towards Aoto’s head.

Though Ichitaro’s strike was powerful... the speed was average.

With "Eagle Eye," Aoto saw through Ichitaro’s movement, and nimbly sidestepped to avoid the strike.

Kojiro and their three underlings attacked at that moment.

Since Ichitaro needed some space to swing his sword, they left the "front" to Ichitaro, with the others taking positions at Aoto’s sides, planning to attack him from different directions.

Their idea to concentrate their numeric advantage to take down Aoto first was indeed a good one.

However... a faint smile flickered across Aoto’s face upon seeing Kojiro and the others closing in.

Gang up... the thing Aoto feared the least was being ganged up on!

The "Lone Brave" talent in the system list began to shine brightly as it activated!

The group of twisted killers attempting to gang up on Aoto caused the activation of what could be said to be the most powerful "combat talent"!

The heartbeat began to accelerate.

Adrenaline surged.

Senses became clearer.

Strength continuously surged from every limb and bone.

A hideous man with a face full of bumps and acne positioned behind Aoto’s left swung his sword from a lower stance, striking upwards at Aoto.

The strike was unstable — it was clear at a glance that his swordsmanship level was quite ordinary.

Besides this hideous man, Kojiro, standing at Aoto’s left front, also launched an attack simultaneously. He held his sword in an upper stance, the blade approaching from above.
