Mou Ten's Sword is the 279^th chapter of the Kingdom manga.

Summary

Kou Yoku is impressed by the reinforcements of the Gaku Ka Unit which rushes on him but the aspect of Mou Ten annoys him. He tries to decapitate him but Mou Ten deflects the attack and continues his way with his unit to try to break their formation.

Kou Yoku comes back to continue their duel but Mou Ten manages to parry his blows at the last moments and even retaliate dangerously. Despite his appearance, Kou Yoku recognizes his value, he thinks about what Shin told him, that the commanders of 1000-Man Commander of Qin are all monsters. He decides to become serious and to change his sword for the one attached to his saddle.

Then Roku O Mi Army landed on their left rear, wreaked havoc, and continued their progress in the ranks of Chu. Mou Ten decided to continue his advance without defeating Kou Yoku and his unit. The objective of Tou Army, including Gaku Ka, is to defeat the 1st army to force the 2nd and 3rd to appear on the front.

So, their objective is to kill Rin Bu Kun, commander of the 1st army of Chu. Roku O Mi and his army's breakthrough is incredibly fast, and he manages to reach Rin Bun Kun's headquarters. While they exchanged a pass of arms, Rin Bu Kun's unit appeared as well. Rin Bun Kun interrupts their duel to ask Rin Bun Kun if there is a meaning behind that utterly absurd hairstyle or if it's just that he doesn't know shame. Rin Bou decides to charge Rin Bun Kun to kill him, but he is pierced by an arrow in the head by Haku Rei.
