The tone she used when speaking to Uesugi Kiyoshi was so soft and tender, how could there be any trace of murderous intent as in the tone just now?

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently and turned to look at Miyagawa Isami.

For some reason, Miyagawa Isamu, who was sweating and looking haggard, also looked at him at the same time.

"."

"Uesugi Kiyoshi, I remember this name."

Looking around, he saw that the swordsman of the Shinsengumi was being beaten by Rashomon, his beloved disciple had a broken arm, he himself was injured, and the heroic spirit was still restless.

No matter how you look at it, he has completely lost.

"You won."

"The Shinsengumi will no longer be involved in this matter. No matter where we meet you in the future, the Mibu Wolf will definitely retreat and not meet you face to face."

"Matsuhara, who died in your hands, had a reason to die. You have a hard fist, and I have nothing to say."

"The Shinsengumi has admitted defeat."

"Of course, if you want to kill us all, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, but the swordsmen under my command have not committed any crime that deserves death. I hope you can leave them a chance to live."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stroked the trophy wakizashi in his hand, snorted, and was about to speak when he heard a familiar male voice.

"Hey, Uesugi, that second-rate swordsman is fine, come over and take a look at this side."

"It seems something is wrong with your Apricot."

"And this girl named Kikyo."

"The person should have been rescued."

Shingo Narumi had been guarding a corner of the room, protecting Anzi and watching the fighting on the field.

Even if everyone thinks that Miyagawa Isami and Uesugi Kiyoshi are evenly matched, even those Mibu Wolves will think that Miyagawa Isami will defeat this ignorant kid in an instant.

But Shingo Narumi always believed that Uesugi Kiyoshi could not lose.

Who do you think that is?

How could the lord of a hundred ghosts who conquered the mountains and seas lose to the heroic spirit of a mortal?

From ancient times to the present, there have been countless people who have wanted to defeat him.

But, no “person” can do it.

Nobuo Narumi noticed that Anzi's hard work seemed to have paid off, and without caring about the battle situation, he loudly reminded Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression changed and his mind was no longer here at all.

Shiina Kikyo is just a mortal and not his believer, otherwise he would have the means to bring the dead back to life, but just now, he was really powerless.

But

People were rescued.

What means?

Chapter 342 I'd Better Kill You

Nobuo Narumi is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking, and of course he can't joke at this time.

To be honest, Uesugi Kiyoshi was in an exceptionally bad temper tonight.

He has never been the kind of person who would draw his sword and kill people without knowing the reason.

Perhaps 80% of his bad mood tonight was due to the death of Shiina Kikyo.

People are still divided into close and distant relatives. No matter how many innocent people died here, none of them made him more painful than seeing Kikyo Shiina die in his arms.

Therefore, although his current actions were based on high-sounding words, there was an undeniable reason of "venting anger", and he did not deny this in his heart.

He is not a saint. All he needs is four words: have a clear conscience.

Even if he acted more unrestrained tonight, he did not cross the bottom line of his heart, so he did not regret it.

When Shingo Narumi called out to him, Uesugi Kiyoshi looked over there with a serious expression, as if he was turning a deaf ear to what Isamu Miyagawa said.

But he did not go over immediately, as he always had to finish what he started.

The chief of the Shinsengumi hadn't spoken yet, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke came over first.

"I say, Uesugi, have you calmed down a bit?"

"Well, how should I put it? I don't really care if you kill Miyakawa Isami."

"The Shinsengumi, after all, is just a dog under the command of those political parties. I am not belittling them. The Collectibles Association, in the eyes of the bigwigs of this country, has a similar image to them."

"But one is a wild dog and the other is a domestic dog."

"Miyagawa Isami is not the son of some rich and powerful person. He was lucky. He was connected to the heroic spirit of Kondo Isami. He also had good talent in swordsmanship. He met a good teacher who taught him the art. With the help of noble people, he became a great man."

"But if he died in your hands it wouldn't be a big deal."

"There's no need for me to beat around the bush with you. One is Miyakawa Isami of the Shinsengumi, and the other is you, with the Hououin family standing behind you. Those politicians will never avenge Miyakawa Isami."

"A top chaebol is much more important than a dog."

"Even if he is an obedient dog and does a lot of dirty work for the cabinet leaders, it won't earn him any recognition. Those bigwigs are much more cold-blooded than me."

"But it would be a bit too much if you massacred all the Shinsengumi."

"If you killed Miyakawa Isamu, you can attribute it to the personal grudge between your master and him, and use the swordsmen's duel to excuse it."

"If you catch all the Shinsengumi, that would be [contempt for state institutions], a ridiculous thing that would tear apart the relationship. The entire police line would go crazy, and Kudo wouldn't be able to suppress it."

"This is a matter of nature and principle. Don't blame me for being long-winded. Think it over before making a decision."

With the outcome decided, Uesugi Kiyoshiya was freed from the "combat state".

Maybe the fight released his anger, and coupled with the good news that "the person was rescued", he felt better and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Do I look like a murderer to you?"

"."

"Not really."

"Your actions tonight really impressed me - don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Get out of the way. I'm going to have a chat with Chief Miyakawa."

Uesugi Kiyoshi patted Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the shoulder and walked towards Miyagawa Isami.

The chief of the Shinsengumi issued a declaration of defeat, so the Mibu Wolves under his command naturally had no intention of fighting.

The fighting stopped.

The mess on the ground after the fight was even more shocking.

This house was originally used as a place for sacrifice. After the monk was defeated by Uesugi Kiyoshi, most of them died.

Human life is so cheap and fragile that it makes people feel helpless.

Uesugi Kiyoshi strode forward, and Touwen Maki covered her lower abdomen with a painful expression, but still followed closely, holding her hands tightly in the boat, looking at the master and disciple opposite her, with no kindness in her eyes.

Seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi came with ill intentions, Okita Sakura wanted to stand in front of her master even though one of her arms was broken, but Miyagawa Isamu pressed her shoulders and pushed her aside.

Face to face, the young man wearing armor and a haori just looked at the disheveled, sloppy middle-aged man covered in wounds, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long silence, Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed and shook his head.

"Even if you lost, even if the Shinsengumi was beaten like this, your eyes didn't change - you didn't show any remorse, you felt that what you did was right."

"."

"You should do your job. I remember you have the rank of police officer. Watching these people die like this, do you really not feel any guilt at all?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and used the scrutinizing attitude and tone of a victor.

Miyagawa Isamu chuckled, looked around, then looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's face, which was still a bit childish but determined, and his laughter turned into a cough.

After the violent coughing subsided, he raised his eyelids and looked emotional.

"When I was your age, I thought the same as you do now."

"I have learned swordsmanship and I am confident in my ability to fight. I feel that punishing evil and promoting good, and upholding justice are my lifelong wishes. I hope that this sword can be wielded with value."

"You asked me if my teacher taught me the swordsman's code when he taught me the sword? Of course he did, and I learned it quite well."

"When I first became famous, I was still in Tokyo. The only swordsman who could rival me in the entire city of Tokyo was your master."

"But so what?"

Miyakawa Isamu laughed miserably, as if he recalled some painful memories, and even the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously.

"You should know that there are shortcuts to becoming extraordinary."

"Just like what the monk did in your hand, the faith and soul of mortals are of great benefit to the enhancement of the strength of extraordinary people."

"This behavior, which is even more extreme than human research, has been expressly prohibited by almost all those in power in this country, whether they are extraordinary or ordinary people. Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy."

"Can"

"Is this really the case?"

"Who hasn't done human experiments? Is your collection association clean? Don't you conduct research on the ghosts and gods you house?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was watching a play and couldn't stand hearing this.

"Hey, stop spitting blood. Our Collectibles Association has never used innocent mortals to conduct supernatural research. You have to be responsible when you speak, don't you understand?"

Miyagawa Isamu looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with disdain.

"Haha. Why, those mystics are not considered human beings?"

"How many of the mystics you took in were able to have a good end?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed his lips and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi. He could not refute this point because there was almost no hope of rescuing the Mystics. The Collectibles Association was not idealistic enough to save potential enemies, and the way they treated the Mystics captives was indeed not very friendly.

Uesugi Qing sneered and shook his head disapprovingly.

"You say I'm naive. I don't think you're anything special. An enemy is certainly not a human being. Do you think I'm some saintly saint worshipped somewhere? I have mercy on everything in the world?"

Miyakawa Isamu looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi deeply, without arguing, and continued: "Whatever, Uesugi Kiyoshi, don't you want to know why I tolerate Matsubara Tadayoshi?"
