Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

The head that fell on the beam followed the tilted arc and slid down like a ball, then fell back to the ground.

The sound of the falling head, the silence all around - the two complement each other.

The former further highlights the latter, and the latter contrasts with the former.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.

The man who knocked down the famous warrior in Kyoto with just one blow—Umehara Junyuki—slid up and ran up.

While quickly approaching Qingdeng, he drew out his sword, and using the momentum of his forward thrust, he struck down the upper sword forcefully.

Aomori jumped back slightly, staying out of the range of Umehara Junyuki's slashing attack.

Umehara Junzhi sneered:

"Did you avoid it...you are indeed quite capable."

Qingdeng smiled slightly:

"Why are you talking like your moves are hard to dodge?"

Umehara Junzhi looked angry and changed his stance.

"Hmph! Then this next move..."

Before Umehara Junyuki finished speaking, Aomori disappeared from his eyes without a trace.

"It's my turn to take action next, idiot."

Aoshino holds a blood-stained Jingguishen with a cold expression and eyes without sadness or joy, standing upright on the right side of Umehara Junyuki.

At the same moment, the sword light took off!

A silver flying swallow flew close to the ground, then soared into the sky and sank into Umehara Junyuki's body.

Umehara Junyuki's head and arms hung down in boredom, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Poof!

Another fountain of blood.

Ayoto didn't even look at Umehara Junyuki, who had already expired, and collapsed limply on the ground. He threw him behind him and walked at a leisurely pace towards the three people who were still alive...or rather, the three who were still alive.

tramp living by begging.

Their leader Scarface, and Umehara Junyuki, whom they relied on deeply, were successively killed like chopping melons and vegetables...Such a sudden change naturally made these three people confused.

These three people are very different in body shape and appearance. They are ugly, tall and dwarf respectively.

Ugly guy: "No, no, no, don't come over!"

Gao Lao: "Wait, wait a minute!"

Chapo: "Hey! Do you know who we are? We are the Nanmu Group..."

Whoosh!

The air began to vibrate.

The slender shadow, like a powerful arrow, flew like a bird between the tall man and the short man standing in the front.

"Pfft" was the sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh.

The tall man and the dwarf turned their heads back with mechanical movements, but they saw that the ghost hit the ugly man squarely between the eyebrows, and the sharp blade did not reach the tang.

The ugly guy with an open mind looked in disbelief.

The rapid attack of lightning and flint made his body still stand upright before he could react.

In an instant, another shadow flew over - this time, it was as agile as a wild goose!

Qingdeng jumped up, following the flight path of Ding Guishen just now, as if being pulled by Ding Guishen, and instantly landed above the ugly head.

His body was half-suspended in the air, his right hand re-clasped the handle of the sword holding ghosts and gods, and he exerted force from his waist - all in one movement - he pulled the knife out horizontally from the ugly man's head, and then used centrifugal force to slash away the tall man on his left.

.

When his feet fell back to the ground, he used his right foot as an axis, turned in the opposite direction, and slashed at the dwarf on his right with his sword.

The dwarf was not a weak person to be bullied. He saw through Qingdeng's knife path. His pupils suddenly shrank and at the same time, he subconsciously backed away like plucking onions in a dry land.

His retreat saved his life.

Although he could not completely avoid Qingdeng's slashing blow, he finally managed to escape beyond the killing range at the critical moment.

Chi——The tip of Ding Guishen's knife cut through the skin of his chest. Although blood flowed profusely, it was not fatal on the spot.

Before the dwarf could feel lucky to have survived the disaster, he suddenly noticed that the light in front of him dimmed - the wine-red feathers flying high filled his field of vision.

After seeing the dwarf retreat, Qingden immediately realized that his blow could not kill the opponent on the spot.

Ever since, the talents "Leading the Lead +4" and "Speed ​​+6" were activated!

Qingdeng effortlessly caught up with the dwarf, whose feet had not yet touched the ground and whose body was still stuck in mid-air.

People only saw the flash of the sword.

Another good head flew out.

At this time, the ugly body finally lost its support and fell down.

At the same time, the tall guy who was chopped off also fell back to the ground heavily.

The three corpses stirred up light dust on the ground in no particular order.

In an instant, the whole place fell silent.

How could everyone's expressions be so "shocked"?

The faces of the onlookers all changed, and their faces were full of horror and surprise.

You look at me, I look at you... As they looked at each other, they all saw strong disbelief on each other's faces.

Junyuki Umehara, who was so notorious that even the famous Yutaro Enoki was knocked down by one of his moves, was unexpectedly killed instantly by a stranger of unknown origin without any chance of fighting back...

Such facts made it difficult for the onlookers to believe their eyes.

Qingdeng raised his gaze, scanned the crowd around him, blinked, and thought.

At this moment, his habit of looking cool... ah, no, his habit of protecting his personal image suddenly broke out.

Under this situation, he inexplicably wanted to say something to heighten the atmosphere.

As a result, Qingdeng pondered thoughtfully for a moment and then said quietly:

"Cut something boring again."

After that, he vibrated the knife vigorously, shook off the remaining blood on the knife, and put the knife back into its sheath.

"Woman, come towards me."

"Huh?"

The female boss's delicate body trembled slightly.

Although she had closed her eyes tightly just now, no matter how stupid she was, she could figure out what was happening just by what she heard with her ears.

After hearing Qingdeng's order, she ran towards Qingdeng as if running away.

"Okay, you can open your eyes."

The female boss obeyed the order obediently and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as she regained the light, she found that her body was splattered with sticky blood. Her face immediately turned pale and she almost collapsed on the ground.

"Don't turn around. The scene behind you is a bit... not very nice. Just walk back to your shop."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The female boss managed to hold herself up, thanked Qingdeng with tears in her eyes, and then staggered back to her tea shop.

At this time, Sanako, Komaki and his wife quickly moved to Qingden's side.

Goro Komaki smiled and praised without hesitation:

"Clean and neat, without any sloppiness... Mr. Ju, your swordsmanship seems to be on par with everyone else's."

Hearing this, Qingdeng subconsciously asked:

"Mr. Gu Mu, do you also know swordsmanship?"

"I know a little bit about it. I practiced swordsmanship for a while when I was young. I haven't touched the sword much since I opened a shop and started selling wagashi."

Suddenly, an anxious male voice sounded from behind Qingdeng:

"Your Majesty, run away quickly!"

Qingdeng was slightly startled and turned around to look.
