The branded woman's parts from her right armpit to her left shoulder were all chopped away in an instant by Mamiya.

The Branded Woman flying in mid-air... no, it should be said to be the Branded Woman's head flying in mid-air. Her eyes, which were rapidly losing their energy, were wide and staring tightly at the ceiling above.

Her head was separated from her body... With such an injury, the immortal power in her body could do nothing...

In the past, the branded woman once heard someone say that when people are about to die, they will uncontrollably recall some important memories from their lifetimes.

Now, the branded woman finally knows that this matter is still true.

At this moment, two large memories flashed through the branding woman's mind...

The first memory is something that happened not long ago.

After learning that Ogata had sent his sword to a swordsmith named Yuji for repair, in order to leave Ogata with no sword to use and weaken his combat power, Yoshihisa specially sent some men to seize the sword from Yuji.

No one knew which swords belonged to Ogata, so to save trouble and not to miss anything, they took away all the swords in Yuji's house.

At that time, the "Osaka Spring Formation and Operation to Dissuade" had not yet officially begun, and a large number of cadres headed by Yoshihisa and Lai Fu were hiding in a secret stronghold somewhere on the outskirts of Osaka.

All the knives taken from Yuji were sent to this secret base.

When Jijiu personally viewed these "trophies", the branded woman happened to be present.

With just one glance, among the pile of knives, she caught sight of a pair of katana and wakizashi, which were all blue and gold.

Blue and gold happen to be the favorite colors of brand ladies.

This was the first time she had such a strong love for two knives.

At that time, the branded woman said to Jijiu in an unquestionable tone: "Give me these two knives!"

Yoshihisa was not happy at first, but he couldn't stand the noise of the solder, so he could only reluctantly allow the solder to take the two knives as his own.

The branded woman had never named her knives before. After getting these two knives that she loved so much, she named her knives for the first time. She gave her two new knives their own names.

I think the names are very suitable: "One Good Luck" and "Two Good Luck".

After reviewing this memory, the branded woman only felt... unusually regretful.

She died just like that before she could use these two knives that she loved so much...

After this memory flashed before the Branded Woman's eyes, the second memory began to flash through the Branded Woman's mind.

If the first memory just now made the Branded Woman feel extremely regretful, then this second memory made the Branded Woman's regrets expand dozens of times.

The second memory... is the memory of her first meeting with Toyotomi Nobuhide...

…

"Sure enough, you are the wandering girl who is currently wanted, who tricked a man into sleeping with him, killed him unprepared, and then plundered his property. You are much more beautiful than I thought."

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm in your hands now! If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"

"You are really ruthless. The wanted notice says that you have traveled to 4 vassal states and killed 21 people."

"What? Do you want to preach to me? Do you want to persuade me to turn around and be a good person? What I hate most is you guys who preach to others with a condescending attitude! What do you know?! You know

What kind of life did I live before?! If I could have a happy family and have enough to eat and drink, how could I kill people and buy goods!"

"Calm down, I don't want to preach to you. Not only do I not want to preach to you, I also want to praise you."

"……ha?"

"I think your unscrupulous approach to survival is great. The world is cruel, and I really like your character who is willing to do anything to survive. Hey, what's your name?

Don’t you want to join my army and turn this world upside down with me?”

"Ah? There's nothing wrong with you, right? Didn't you come to arrest me just for my head?"

"What do I need your head for? Your bounty is only 10 taels. This money is not enough for me to eat. I'm not here to catch you, I'm here to test whether you are interesting enough, and now - you are qualified

Got it!"

"...I can't quite understand what you are talking about anymore."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Ah, by the way, are you hungry? Do you want to go out for a meal together now? My name is Xinxiu. What about you?"

"...Alao."

"A'Lao, what a lovely name. Let's go, A'Lao! I just passed by a noodle shop with a very fragrant smell. Let's go have something to eat together!"

…

Now that her body and head are separated, the branded woman can no longer open her mouth to speak.

So, she whispered in her heart:

——Toyotomi-sama... I'm very sorry... I can no longer be loyal to you...

The last words this crazy woman said in her life were a heartfelt apology.

…

…

Mamiya stared closely at the body of the branded woman in front of him, which had fallen to the ground with a large piece missing, and was ready to use the knife at any time.

After seeing that this broken body did not grow a new head, and that the eyes of the burned woman's head that had fallen to the ground no longer had any look, Mamiya let out a sigh of relief silently in his heart.

——It seems... what the girl just said is true...

——As long as you attack their heads, the immortal power in their bodies will be powerless...

Mamiya held Vairocana on his waist and prepared to help Genichi, who was still fighting with Yoshihisa.

But after turning his attention to the battlefield between Genichi and Yoshihisa not far away, Mamiya's expression suddenly froze.

After a brief moment of daze, Mamiya whispered softly in a helpless tone:

"You don't need our help at all..."

When Mamiya turned his attention to Genichi, he happened to see Yoshihisa, who had a large gash on his upper body, with a pale face, quickly retreating, widening the distance between himself and Genichi.

…

…

Yoshihisa's short spear and Genichi's Yang Shen collided and pushed against each other, twisting the atmosphere and emitting a distorted, extremely uncomfortable cry.

After several missed stabs, Yoshihisa suddenly reached into his arms with his left hand, took out three shurikens, and threw them towards Yuan.

The throwing angles of these three shurikens are quite tricky, and they stab at Genichi's vital points from different directions.

This is a superb technique that can only be displayed by Yoshihisa, who has honed his shuriken throwing technique to a perfect level.

The power, speed, and flight angle of the shuriken were all impeccable—but the opponent Yoshihisa faced was Kinoshita Genichi.

Whether in the world of martial arts or in academia, in short, no matter where you are in any field, there is one absolutely correct truth in common - the real masters are all easy to do, and they seem to do very difficult things very easily.

.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

I saw Genichi using very random movements to continuously change the directions and angles of the flames in his left hand, and then all three shurikens thrown by Yoshihisa were deflected away.

Yuanyi is not only very light when defending, he is also very light when attacking.

He took a step and a half forward.

This one-and-a-half-step distance was just right, it was just within the distance that Tai Dao Yang Shen could cut Ji Jiu.

Yuan Yi slashed horizontally.

It was obviously just a very ordinary horizontal slash at first glance, but Jijiu felt a great threat from it. The sharpness contained in this knife made Jijiu never dare to be careless.

He retracted the short spear in his palm, deflecting Genichi's attack and retreating at the same time. However, Genichi's offensive did not stop, and he immediately handed out a second sword. This time, the one struck was Wakizashi Enrong, Yoshihisa.

With extremely reluctant movements, he deflected Yuan Yi's attack again.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang...

The light of the sword and the shadow of the gun flashed rapidly in front of the eyes of Yuan Yi and Yoshihisa.

Also flashing rapidly in front of Jijiu's eyes were scenes from 41 years ago that were deeply etched into his mind...

That was the first and last time Iga no Sato was so noisy.

The seniors who were usually so proud and proud are now all crying for their fathers and mothers.

Brave ones, continue towards the north of Iga no Sato.

The cowardly ones fled in all directions.

In fact, it cannot be said that those who ran away were cowardly.

From another perspective, they are rational and smart.

Because all those brave men died.

One by one, they rushed towards the swordsman holding two swords, and then died one after another.

Jijiu is also one of the brave ones.

He grabbed his best short gun and rushed forward bravely.
To be continued...
