…
Enhance your swordsmanship ability... This type of talent has not been seen for a long time.
It's a pity that the "little master in swordsmanship" is no longer of use to Qingdeng now.
Now, only talents of the same type as "Sword Master" and above can further improve Qingden's swordsmanship.
Yashiro, who had most of his body chopped off by Aoto, fell limply to the ground as if he had slipped from under his sword, without any breath of life left.
The battle had just begun, and the dead appeared so quickly... The tragic scene caused severe physical discomfort to many onlookers around.
For a moment, the crowd looked like a flock of frightened crows.
However, the sound made by the latter is a cry of "gaaaaaah", while the sound of the former is a cry of "wuwuwu", "vomit vomit vomit" and retching.
Without allowing any rest, a new suffocating murderous intent rushed towards Qingdeng.
Qingdeng readied his sword and fought against the cold wind blowing towards him.
Just listen to the clash of blades, the clanging sound, and the sparks flying.
Takesaburo, who practiced the Zhishin Kage-ryu, shouted loudly, his energy drained from his Dantian, he exerted force on his waist and arms, and pressed his feet tightly to the ground, forcing Aomori to wrestle with him.
The Joshin Kage-ryu is a swordsmanship sect with a long history. It emerged during the Genroku period (1688-1703) and has produced many capable men.
Up to now, the most well-known swordsman of Zhishin Kage-ryu is undoubtedly the current Totori of the Kōbu Shou. He is known as the "Sword Master" by the people of today. He is often compared with Ogata Issei by those who do evil things, and discusses him and Ogata Issei.
Who is the stronger "Eternal Sword Master" Seiichiro Tanani?
The main focus of Zhishin Kageryu is the tempering of one's heart and courage, emphasizing the use of "thick swords".
Judging from the techniques used by Takesaburo, he understood the purpose of Naishin Kageryu very well.
Qingto, who was fighting Takesaburo, felt as if an indestructible boulder was pressing down on him.
At the same time, the other two opponents... Saichiro and Masajiro used a pincer-like offensive, pressing towards Aoto step by step, one on the left and the other on the right.
Their intention is obvious: they want to take advantage of Qingteng being restrained by Takesaburo to subdue Qingteng with random swords!
What ordinary people see as imminent dangers and crises is just a common sight for Qingdeng.
It was too late to say it, but it was too late to say it. Qingdeng took action.
"Haaahhh!"
The standard Qihe sound burst out from Qingdeng's throat.
Through Qihe, Qingdeng secretly uses energy, and the legs, waist and arms become one body - the feet push the ground, the legs help the waist, the waist helps the arms, and the arms help the wrists.
"Take the lead", "Bear's waist +1", "Elephant's core +1", Tiger's arms, these four talents are activated together!
Coupled with the blessings of "Gathering Gods" and "Lonely" who was in a state of "entry glowing" early in the morning because he was fighting against many -
The indestructible boulder was broken apart.
"Aww!"
Takesaburo let out a strange cry that sounded like gasping for air.
Takesaburo's sword seemed to be hit by an invisible shock wave, and separated from Qingto's sword with a "clang" sound.
In the next breath, his entire upper body leaned back as if it was tilted, and he took several steps back with a bang, and the knife in his palm almost flew out of his hand.
This is the result of competing with Qingdeng.
Relying on pure physical strength, he deflected Takesaburo's sword and forced him to retreat. Qingto quickly turned around and slashed at Saichiro, who was the fastest on the right.
Zuichiro, who had never thought that Qingto could get rid of Takesaburo so quickly, couldn't help but feel a hint of horror in his brows.
However, Saichiro was not a rookie holding a knife for the first time. He only panicked for a moment before regaining his composure.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
As if this sword was intended to suppress Aoden, as if Chunxin wanted to confront Aoto, Zuichiro changed his posture and used the same move as Aoto: a horizontal slash.
Qingdeng's sword was struck from the west to the east, while Zuichiro's sword was struck from the east to the west.
The two knives with completely opposite directions collided heavily in an instant - clang - along with the deafening sound of gold and iron hitting each other, and the sound of the blades breaking.
Saichiro's sword was damaged. There was a three millimeter wide gash at the point where it collided with Ayoto's sword.
On the other hand, Qingdeng's sword was intact.
As Qingdeng's own reputation grew, so did his reputation for his love of swords for killing ghosts and gods.
Anyone who has a certain knowledge of Ayoto's life and deeds will know what Nioh's sword looks like.
In order to prevent others from discovering Aoto's true identity, Tokugawa Iemo specially prepared a good sword for Aoto to replace the ghosts and gods before leaving the Tsukinomiya Shrine and preparing for today's private visit in private.
The sword provided by the current shogun of the Edo shogunate... naturally couldn't be some street stall that can be seen everywhere!
According to Aoshito's own estimation, in terms of quality alone, the sword Tokugawa Iemo temporarily lent him was not inferior to Singkigami at all!
When comparing rare things to ordinary things...it is just a matter of course that "one person's sword is damaged while the other person's sword is intact".
After witnessing Takezaburo being ejected by Aoto with brute force, he still dared to confront Aoto... This shows that Saichiro is very confident in his arm strength.
And Saichiro's self-confidence is indeed not a waste of time.
After exchanging blows with Saichiro, Aoden suddenly felt a numbness in his palms. It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent like this that could make his palms feel numb.
However... no matter how hard he tried, Qingden, who had a lot of abnormal talents, was the winner in the end!
"Uh-huh-!"
At the next moment when the two swords struck each other, even though he tried his best to hold on, the strong impact transmitted along the blade to his two palms and body still made Saichiro take three steps back with a look of pain due to lack of strength.
After successfully forcing Saichiro back, Aoden turned to the left without stopping, preparing to face the next enemy.
The timing was just right.
When Aoto was facing left with his sword, he happened to catch up with the enemy approaching from the left-hand side - Masajiro of Ono's Itto style, who was about to raise his sword to attack!
Masajiro yelled, and the knife in his hand whizzed straight towards Aonto's head.
Aoto concentrated his strength on his toes, then kicked off the ground and suddenly pounced on Masajiro.
He twisted his body slightly to the side and easily dodged the opponent's knife. At the same time, he took advantage of the moment of misalignment and swung the knife straight into Masajiro's belly like lightning.
Masajiro leaned back in embarrassment, his quick reaction was commendable. However, Aomori still felt that he had hit the opponent.
Look carefully at the tip of Qing Deng's knife - a string of blood beads spilled from the tip.
Aoto's knife grazed Masajiro's body. Although the tip of the knife was a little far away, it still successfully opened a three-inch long gap in Masajiro's chest.
…
…
When the battle between Aoto and Saichiro and others was in full swing——
"..."
Tokugawa Iemo has been wearing a thoughtful expression since just now.
After a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, and turned to face Sa Zhong beside him:
"Shazhong."
"Here." Shazhong responded quickly and reflexively.
"You go to Itakura Katsutora's mansion now, and then...show this to him."
Tokugawa Iemo took out a black seal cage as big as an adult's palm from his arms.
In the center of the inro, there is a shamrock, the crest of the Tokugawa family, carved in gold.
"This is……?!"
Looking at the black-and-gold-patterned seal in Tokugawa Iemo's hand, Saju, who had always had a graceful temperament, showed a rare look of fright, and her eyes shrank violently.
"When you see Itakura Katsutora, you tell him..."
Tokugawa Iemo lowered his upper body, put his lips close to Sazoge's ear, and whispered to Sazoge for a moment while forcing his voice into a line.
After finishing speaking, Tokugawa Iemo straightened his body again.
"Do you remember everything clearly?"
"Yes!" Sha Zhong nodded vigorously, "I remember everything clearly."
"Then let's get going." Tokugawa Iemo nodded, "Move quickly."
"Yes!" Sha Zhong lowered his head and responded, then moved his eyes sideways and scanned the surrounding area.
At this moment, the eyes of almost everyone around him fell on the two groups of people who were still fighting fiercely. No one paid attention to Sha Zhong, who was so petite that he was not much taller than a sword.
Shazhong saw this opportunity and ran quickly towards the northwest with silent footsteps, using the crowd as cover.
After a moment, Sazhong's figure disappeared at the far corner of the street...
…
…
He is worthy of being hired as a bodyguard by a rich and powerful unscrupulous man like Itakura Hirahiko.
Not only are Zuichiro and others extremely strong, but they also cooperate extremely well with each other and will never fight independently.
Experts will know what's going on as soon as they make a move - Saichiro and the others didn't even have to wait for Aototo to make a move. After seeing Aotobu actually being able to unleash his "power", they all knew that Aotobu was no ordinary person.
Especially after seeing how easily Aoden killed their companion Yashiro, Saichiro and others did not dare to be careless about this mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat.
To this end, they adopted a thorough tortoise strategy - when Qingden fought with any one of them, the other two would rush to support him at the first possible moment regardless of the cost.
The secret of one-to-many is to find ways to break down one-to-many into multiple one-to-one situations - this is the valuable experience Qing Teng gained after going through hundreds of battles.
Faced with Saichiro and others who cooperated very well with each other, Aoto could not find the right moment to make the final decision in one go.
Although the current battle situation is tense, Qingdeng is not in a hurry.
Being impatient and rash is a taboo for a warrior.
What’s more, time is on Qingdeng’s side!
The body transformed by "Strong Muscles +1" and "Iron Lung +1" has no fear of protracted battles!
He beat up the Confucians first, then fought Zuichiro and others fiercely. Although Qingden had fought two battles in a row, his physical condition was still excellent, he only sweated a little, and his breathing was still steady and strong.
In addition to his body, Qingdeng's spirit is also not afraid of being consumed by fighting with others.
The existence of "Gathering the Mind" eliminates the worry of Qingdeng's mind wandering uncontrollably due to high concentration for a long time.
The weight of the knife is not light.
If you hold and swing such a big piece of iron for a long time, you will always have strength and mental difficulty.
If you defend for a long time, you will lose. As one goes and the other goes up, the opportunity for decisive victory will appear sooner or later.
Qingdeng's judgment was accurate.
The physical fitness of Zuichiro and others is obviously not as good as Qingto. Now, the three of them have begun to suffer from shortness of breath to varying degrees.
When Qingdeng saw this, he understood clearly: Although he arrived much earlier than he expected, there was no doubt that his mother had a chance to win!
"Ha..." Qingdeng exhaled a breath, tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and took a stance.
In the next breath, like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, he leaped over to the person in front of him who was breathing the most unsteadily - Yajiro!
Facing Qingto's fierce attack, Masajiro didn't panic. He instinctively took a step back, holding the knife in front of him.
When the cold light flashed, there was only a "dang" sound, and the two knives were twisted together.
The next moment, Aoto's sword was close to Masajiro's sword, sliding down and grabbing Masajiro's chest at an angle.
As the blade slid, a series of shining sparks were created.
Masajiro hurriedly stepped aside, and while moving his steps, he raised his right hand holding the knife and banged Aonto's chest, intending to bite him back.
Little did he know, his intention had already been seen through by Qingdeng.
Aoden slowly and gently twisted his body, allowing Masajiro's sword to hit the air.
Suddenly, Qingdeng felt a sharp object coming straight from behind.
Even without looking, Qingto knew that it was Saichiro and Takezaburo who had arrived for reinforcements.
There was no need to turn around to look. Aoto's ears... to be precise, the ears that had been amplified by the "Perceptor of the Wind" had already grasped the positions and paths of the swords of Saichiro and Takezaburo for Aoto.
Crack - Qingdeng's soles wiped out a cloud of misty dust on the ground.
In the flying dust, a tall and slender figure floated around under the light of two swords.
Masajiro originally wanted to take the opportunity to take two steps back, withdraw from the chaotic battle with Aoden, seize the time to regulate his breathing and regroup. But unexpectedly, a cold light rushed out of the diagonal stab without warning! It hit his head straight!
At this critical moment, Masajiro's instinctive reaction saved him, and he raised his sword in defense without hesitation.
His sword clashed with Qingdeng's sword again.
The sound of gold and iron clashing scattered and rippled.
"Well--!"
Masajiro, who was not known for his strength, finally showed pain at this moment because he could no longer endure it, and his facial features were twisted together like a rag.
His strength was much weaker than Qingdeng's. Every time he had a head-on confrontation with Qingdeng, he felt as if his hand was about to break.
Soon enough, before he could recover from the numbness and pain in his arms, Qingdeng relentlessly launched a new attack on him.
Seito's current battle plan is very simple and clear - when Saichiro and others are showing signs of decline, launch a violent attack like a storm and defeat them in one go!
Therefore, Aoto took aim at Masajiro, who was currently in the worst condition.
His goal is very clear - he doesn't care about anyone else, he just keeps an eye on Masajiro! He just catches Masajiro and pursues him fiercely!
Forward stabbing, horizontal slashing, vertical slashing... Aoden Yasu generously "showed" his sword skills to Masajiro.
How could Saichiro and Takezaburo not see that Masajiro was in trouble?
However, no matter how desperately they attacked and how they tried their best to rescue Masajiro, their swords could not touch Aoto's body at all.
Most of the attacks were avoided by Qingden using his exquisite footwork.
A small number of attacks were resolved by Qingdeng with his skillful defensive skills.
Aoto's offensive gradually gained momentum, and Masajiro was completely suppressed.
Masajiro knew that if he continued like this, his little life would be handed down here.
So, he decided to give it a try! Instead of defending, he attacked! If you come, you can't break or stand!
I saw him switching from a mid-range stance that could be used both offensively and defensively to an eight-double configuration that was conducive to offense.
However, perhaps due to muscle fatigue or lack of concentration, Masajiro's movements slowed down a bit.
This fleeting flaw was clearly reflected in Qingdeng's eyes.
Whether a master fights or a beginner fights, the essence of both is the same - any momentary carelessness or mistake can be fatal.
At the moment when Masajiro raised his sword towards "Yatsushu", Aoden quickly took a big step forward with his right foot and raised the sword to kill without any hesitation!
Phew——Aoto's knife cut deeply into Masajiro's neck.
Blood spurts out and bones are exposed.
Aoto's ears heard the sound of Masajiro gasping hard, but he couldn't catch his breath.
Following the sound of inhaling, there was the "clang" sound of a knife being dropped and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Masajiro suddenly dropped the knife, bent his knees to the ground, and gradually lowered his head. As he moved, his body fell forward heavily, and a large pool of blood immediately spread out on the ground beneath him.
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Dry Palm"]
[Talent Introduction: Palms don’t sweat easily]
Another subtle talent that seems to be useful even if it is said to be useful, but is worthy of the name even if it is said to be useless...
Ignoring the emotion that he had acquired a strange and strange talent, Qingto turned around with his sword in lightning speed, facing the only two remaining opponents - Saichiro and Takezaburo.
3 on 1 turned into 2 on 1, and Qing Deng's pressure was greatly reduced.
At this moment, Saichiro and Takezaburo glanced sideways at Masajiro's body, both with obvious signs of wavering on their faces.
At this time, Itakura Hirahiko's furious shouts came from behind them:
"Why are you so dazed! Come on! I hire you for 20 taels of gold every month, and I'm not asking you to come and stare at others!"
Itakura Hirahiko's anxious shout inspired Saichiro and Takezaburo's sense of contract.
I saw a stern look flashing through their eyes.
The next moment, the two of them rushed out at the same time, leaning forward to chop at Qingdeng.
Qing Deng jumped to the side as lightly as a swallow, dodging a certain distance away.
At the same time, assume the posture of the lower right section and slash the knife diagonally from the lower right to the upper left.
Target: Takesaburo's face!
Takesaburo subconsciously prepared to defend with his sword, but at this moment, Qingto's "power" took effect.
Not to mention fighting Qingdeng, who was surrounded by majestic "power", just looking at him made me feel a lot of pressure.
To give a vivid example... If Qingdeng before the war was a harmless kitten, then Qingdeng now is a fierce tiger with kisses and claws!
Fighting against a ferocious tiger... the psychological pressure this causes on people is no joke.
Takesaburo was shocked by Qingden's astonishing aura, his mind was involuntarily startled, and his reaction was half a beat too slow.
Takesaburo, who looked like a sleepwalker at this moment, felt as if there was an indescribable and terrifying "monster" in front of him, pressing towards him with the force of falling from the mountain.
Just when he finally came to his senses and his consciousness finally caught up with the current situation, it was already too late - the light of blue swords under the warm winter sun filled his field of vision.
Takesaburo is not sure what happened next.
After all, he now has a big hole in his head that is bleeding profusely.
It is too much to ask a person with an open mind to think about problems.

…
The final opponent, Saichiro, did not lose his will to fight because of the death of his companions.
Such a strong psychological quality made Qingdeng secretly raise his eyebrows.
I saw Saichiro moving inch by inch in the direction of Aoto, while nervously measuring the distance between himself and Aoto.
Qingden stood there expressionlessly, waiting for Zuichiro to come over.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was only 4 steps.
Zuichiro continued to get closer to Aoto, but Aoto continued to stand where he was, motionless.
The moment Zuichiro stopped, two white lights pierced the atmosphere!
Both knives were swung in the middle, and they slashed at each other at the same time!
clang!
The steel knife struck the air.
Saichiro is the most skilled among Itakura Hirahiko's bodyguards.
After the first blow missed, he quickly repositioned himself like a whirlwind and struck out with the second sword.
Qingden showed no signs of weakness and swung his sword to meet him. The speed of the sword was equal to Zuichiro's.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang...
The repeated collisions between blades disturbed the atmosphere.
Compared to Saichiro, who was determined to die, Aoto's movements were so smooth - from this, it can be seen that this can no longer be a suspenseful battle...
In an instant, Qingdeng slowly waved the tip of the knife and formed the Kasumi Dan formation.
Zuo Yilang looked at the gap created when Qingdeng switched stances, stepped forward, and with an angry shout, slashed his knife towards Qingdeng's face.
However, Qingdeng was the first to disappear from where his blade touched.
When Qingteng showed up again, he was already more than three meters away to the right of Zuichiro.
"Drink ahhhhhhhh--!"
Zuo Yilang became fierce, howling, charging forward, and chasing.
Check, check!
He only took two steps, and the distance of more than three meters was instantly closed by him.
At the same moment when Zuichiro was approaching, Qingto calmly adjusted the direction of the blade, drawing a silver arc in the air, aiming it squarely at Zuichiro's eyebrows.
"Drink ahhhhhhhh--!"
Zuichiro let out another powerful qiai.
At the moment of lightning and flint, with a shout that echoed throughout the world, he kicked off the ground and flew towards Qingdeng with a knife!
"ha……!"
Qingden exhaled the remaining air in his lungs.
For an instant, as if the "video stop button" had been pressed, Qingdeng's knife tip suddenly stopped motionless.
Then in the next moment, Kasumidan's sword swept across Saichiro like a thunderbolt!
The two of them passed by each other.
Saichiro's knife... is still as clean as new.
And Qingdeng's sword - drew a bloody rainbow!
This bright rainbow was fleeting and disappeared into the dust at Qingdeng's feet as soon as it appeared.
Saichiro stood three steps behind Aoto.
A cross-cut crack burst out from his Heavenly Spirit Cap. It was so clear that first a blood line appeared, and then the blood line turned into blood flowing straight out.
Saichiro, who was still alive and well in the last second, now his head and hands hang down feebly, his feet support his lifeless body, and he walks forward two or three steps crookedly according to the inertia... and then
He collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

…
In fact, if we really want to elaborate, Zuichiro's desperate attack just now was not without results.
Although he did not slander Qingdeng...but he chopped off Qingdeng's bamboo hat.
"Um?"
Qingden suddenly felt that the light in front of him suddenly became so bright. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and looked up - it turned out that the edge of the bamboo hat between his forehead had been cut by Zuichiro's knife. A strip of nearly two inches was cut.
An inch-wide gap stretches across it.
The bright sunshine illuminated Qingdeng's face.
