Just as Pei Zi Yun was in shock, Ban Higashi Yuanzi also heard the loud sound.
At the same time, a jade pendant on Ban Higashi Yuanzi's neck suddenly emitted a warm current. She was shocked and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Yamada-kun, I'm afraid this isn't an earthquake!"
"Something unexpected has happened!"
Pei Zi Yun was expressionless. He had also heard the sounds of killing around him, but he wasn't concerned about that. He was concerned about Ban Higashi Yuanzi's jade pendant.
Pei Zi Yun carefully felt this sensation and asked, "If that's the case, shall we go out and see what's happening?"
Pei Zi Yun and Ban Higashi Yuanzi's living room was on the second floor. They went to the balcony and looked out the window. They saw a dozen people in kimonos barging into the courtyard.
"That's impossible. Where are the guards?" Ban Higashi Yuanzi's eyes widened. The head maid, who had been silent all this while, noticed the intruders and was shocked. She took a step forward and shouted.
Ban Higashi Dojo was originally a fortress. Other than the service staff, cleaners, and medical staff, there was also a specialized security system. There were cameras and scanners. Even if a wild chicken entered, the security system would be alerted. Furthermore, the door could only be opened by swiping an identity card. It could be said that the security system was very orderly and strict.
How did these people barge in?
Pei Zi Yun looked at them and a look of contemplation flashed past his eyes. The intruders shouted, "Don't move. If anyone moves, I'll take your life!"
Their voice was as sharp as a knife.
Faced with such a situation, some people were so scared that their faces turned pale. Others shouted for the guards and even wanted to pick up their weapons. Faced with resistance, the intruders pulled out their swords. With a flash of light, they slashed down.
In the third second, the first person was killed. In the sixth second, the second person's heart was stabbed and twisted. In the eleventh second, the third person's neck was cut in half. This person spun half a circle and fell down.
The killer's kimono was stained with scarlet blood, and there was even blood rolling down half of his face. He glanced around and met the eyes of the people on the second floor.
"Up there, kill them."
"Guards, guards!" The serving maid screamed. Pei Zi Yun's gaze swept across Ban Higashi Genko, who was still in shock. She took a step back and opened her mouth wide. Before Pei Zi Yun could speak, the housekeeper had already rushed forward and shouted, "Young miss, this is bad. Takeda Seiichiro has rebelled!"
The head maid couldn't believe it and shrieked, "How is this possible? Takeda Seiichiro is a retainer of the Banto clan!"
Ban Toshiko knew Takeda Seiichiro. His entire family was a retainer of the Banto Financial Group, and Takeda Seiichiro's father, Takeda Toshiaki, had died trying to save the current head of the Banto Financial Group, Ban Kuchi.
In the Banto consortium, the Takeda family was treated well and treated Takeda Seiichiro as a true confidant. The security of the Banto headquarters was managed by him. If this person rebelled, he could indeed open all the defenses and let outsiders break in.
Even so, when they heard that Takeda Seiichiro had rebelled, many people, including the head maid, could not believe it. This was because she did not know what reason Takeda Seiichiro had to rebel against the Sakamoto family.
Even though she had received a warning, at this moment, the head maid still could not believe what was happening.
The housekeeper looked at the disbelief on the head maid's face and shouted, "Nei, it's true. They're about to kill us. Hurry and take the young miss to hide. Hide quickly!"
But just as the housekeeper finished speaking, the sounds of killing drew nearer. A man dressed in black and white samurai attire, wielding a long sword, rushed in.
Behind him, someone rushed forward and shouted, "Takeda, what happened to you?"
As for the man with the saber, his expression did not change. He waved his long saber, and with a flash of saber light, he pounced forward. One person was hit by the saber and rolled down the stairs, letting out a miserable scream. Another person's arm was cut off. He clutched his arm and rolled on the ground, crying.
This samurai was Takeda Seiichiro.
"Seiichiro!" The head maid screamed in disbelief, as she sobbed.
Takeda Seiichiro was wearing a samurai attire, wielding a long sword. His face was cold, and his eyes were faintly red. If one looked closely, one could see a faint black gas in his pupils.
Hearing the shouts, Takeda Seiichiro was slightly startled. Then, several people rushed forward and surrounded him. The Sakamoto family's reinforcements had arrived in time.
"Traitor, kill him!" Someone shouted.
It seemed that there were not many people who had rebelled. Following this shout, many people raised their sabers and surrounded Takeda Seiichiro. However, Takeda Seiichiro did not feel any fear at all as he savagely laughed and roared, "Hah, good!"
Takeda Seiichiro turned around and slashed out with his blade. The person behind him, who was preparing to slash out with his blade, did not have the time to resist. With a "pu" sound, the blade fell and blood splattered in the air.
Takeda Seiichiro seemed to enjoy this process. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. He looked very excited.
Then, he took a step back and dodged a sneak attack. He backhandedly stabbed out and blocked another person's sword.
"Kill!" Takeda Seiichiro shouted out and pushed with all his might. The person in front of him was pushed down by the immense force, and fell to the ground. Takeda Seiichiro rushed forward and used his foot to stomp on the person. A 'kacha' sound could be heard, and a scream could be heard. The person's leg was broken.
"Today is the day to restore order." Takeda Seiichiro waved his sword repeatedly, becoming one with it. In a short period of time, four or five people had been killed.
"Eh?"
"This is a samurai who has reached the level of being one with the sword, and has possessed a body?" Pei Zi Yun frowned as he looked at the bloodshot eyes of Takeda Seiichiro and mumbled to himself.
Just as Pei Zi Yun was about to decide whether or not to participate in the internal strife of the Sakamoto family, the sounds of killing could be heard from the staircase. The man in kimono who had barged in earlier had rushed forward.
"Kill!" Takeda Seiichiro had just killed a man when he saw his comrades rushing over to help him. He then pointed at Pei Zi Yun and said, "I've heard it from the monitor. Although this man is young, he's terrifying. Kill, kill him quickly!"
It turned out that Takeda Seiichiro's security department was supposed to be open to outsiders. However, it was unknown when he had planted a spy within the department. He had overheard what Pei Zi Yun had said to Ban Dong Yuanko about the strategy used by the shogunate.
As soon as he finished speaking, several samurai rushed towards Pei Zi Yun.
"Eh? Their target is me? " Pei Zi Yun frowned. If his strategy had been implemented a hundred years earlier, it would have been enough to change the entire situation. Now that the situation had changed, why were they chasing after him?
Although he did not understand what was going on, Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly as he faced the incoming samurai. In the next moment, his wooden sword flashed and collided with a long sword. Sparks flew, but the black wooden sword did not break. He then leapt into the air. How fast was his movement?
He even used Shadow Shift. The next moment, the samurai didn't even have time to react. With a 'pu' sound, his neck was sliced open. He screamed as blood bubbled out of his mouth.
Without hesitation, Pei Zi Yun dashed into the crowd of onlookers.
These people were all trained samurai. When they saw Pei Zi Yun, their scalps went numb. Their reactions were extremely fast, and two long swords flew towards Pei Zi Yun.
But this time, Pei Zi Yun lowered his body and waved his wooden sword. Two 'pu pu' sounds could be heard, followed by cries of pain and blood.
In a moment of life and death, Pei Zi Yun leapt down from the stairs and landed in mid-air. His movements and the slash of his sword were extremely simple. All he did was stab from afar and slash from the side. Blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.
In this short period of time, he had killed seven people.
It wasn't that Pei Zi Yun's martial arts skills had improved. It was just that the originally weak wooden sword was now like a real sword.
"Die!" Takeda Seiichiro's eyes widened as he leapt down towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun dodged to the side and dodged Takeda Seiichiro's attack. With a twist of his body, he landed a kick on Takeda Seiichiro's abdomen. With a dull thud, Takeda Seiichiro's entire body fell to the ground. His entire body twitched as he spat out blood. It was obvious that his internal organs had been ruptured.
Pei Zi Yun turned around. His face was stained with blood, which made his expressionless face look even more ferocious.
Everyone was stunned. Everything had happened so suddenly and so suddenly. The entire hall was eerily silent. Only the sound of blood dripping could be heard, and the stench of blood permeated the air.
"Seiichiro, Seiichiro!" The serving maid saw this scene and rushed forward, "What happened to you? Why did you do such a thing? "
"We have an engagement. We are going to get married tomorrow. Why?"
Hearing the serving maid's shrill voice, Takeda Seiichiro, who was still twitching on the ground, woke up. He paused for a second before he realized what had happened. He then smiled bitterly at Ban Dong Yueko, "Miss, I'm sorry!"
As he said this, he pulled out a dagger from within his robes. Pei Zi Yun's eyes flickered as he raised his wooden blade. He then heard a 'pu' sound as the dagger pierced into Takeda Seiichiro's chest.
Eiko's face was drained of all color as her body trembled. Her hands clutched tightly to her clothes as she looked at Takeda Seiichiro. Her eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness as she asked once again, "Why?"
Takeda Seiichiro laughed out loud, "Haha, I'm a righteous man. Even if I die nine times, I will not regret it. You have killed me, but I already have a sacrifice."
As soon as these words were spoken, Takeda Seiichiro's body started to emit a white mist. His entire body seemed to wither as the mist started to spread. As the mist covered Takeda Seiichiro's face, his expression turned gentle as he bowed his head to Eiko, "Eiko, I'm sorry. Please forget me."
"I'm just a selfish man who only cares about his ideals."
By the time he finished speaking, his entire head had withered away, turning into a skeleton.
Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun's expression changed. He felt that something was amiss and wanted to take a step forward. However, he felt a strange force binding him, preventing him from moving.
"What a joke!" Following that, there was a cracking sound as the invisible restraints on his limbs dissipated. The next moment, Eiko's cries could be heard. Pei Zi Yun took a step forward and looked out the window. He saw that there was a similar fog below. Amidst the fog, the cherry trees in the distance started to change.
It was as if they had returned to April. From afar, the entire place was pink. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the petals to fall. It was like a rain of cherry blossoms.
Turning around, Ban Dong Yueko stared off into the distance and sighed. Her voice was calm and lonely.
