Chapter 184 The final battle! Qingden vs. Kamino [9000]
Yesterday’s monthly ticket goal was also successfully achieved. The author should write another 10,000-word chapter today. But because some urgent matters occurred in reality yesterday, the author hurriedly rushed yesterday and only wrote 9,000 words ( Leopard's head cries.jpg).
I will add another 10,000-word chapter tomorrow. (Leopard Death.jpg)****************
"Miss Kinoshita! Back away!"
After discovering the sudden appearance of this group of men in black, Qingdeng's face immediately showed a mixture of surprise and other emotions.
With quick eyes and hands, he instructed Kinoshita Mai to retreat quickly, to a place far away from Kamino and others, and out of the shooting range of the men in black.
Dressed in black, holding a matchlock... With such iconic attire, it was obvious who he was.
The blood in the bodies of Kamino and others froze at this moment, and they could no longer care about Qingto and Mai Kinoshita in front of them.
But in the next moment, a shout made their consciousness regain control of their bodies, causing the blood in their bodies to flow again.
"No one is allowed to move!"
On the east side of the street, the leader of the Huoshu Thief Division 4: Mizushima Rensaburo continued to speak to Kamino and others in an undeniably tough tone... No, it should be Kamino and others who continued to announce:
"Throw away all the weapons you have! Get down on the ground!"
Mizushima Rensaburo's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Kamino and others.
Like a conditioned reflex, the members of the anti-barbarian group focused their attention on Kamino.
Under the gazes of everyone as if asking for help, Kamino clenched his teeth unconsciously, making a crunching sound.
——Damn it! Damn it! You beast! Kamino spewed out all the curse words in Japanese in his heart.
The fire thief has changed... The situation Kamino least wants to see appears.
Kamino recognized Mizushima Rensaburo's face, so when he saw Mizushima Rensaburo now appearing at the east corner of the street, he knew that the fourth division of the Huofu Thieves had arrived.
Excluding the captain, each division of the Huo Fu Thieves Reform has 10 members and 50 members, for a total of 60 people.
At present, the 60 members of the Fourth Squadron were evenly deployed at the east and west street intersections, aiming their lit matchlock guns at them... With just Mizushima Rensaburo's order, intensive bullets were fired. The rain will pour down on them immediately...
What to do? This question filled every corner of Kamino's mind. This is actually a thought that does not require too much thinking.
Even when all members were intact, Kamino wanted to avoid a direct conflict with the powerful Huofu Thieves.
In the current situation where many people have been killed and injured by Aoto and Mai Kinoshita, it is not a wise move to start a head-on conflict with the Huosu thieves... no matter how you think about it.
Retreat. You must retreat as soon as possible!
However... as soon as the word "retreat" emerged from his consciousness, a wave of strong unwillingness surged out, taking control of Kamino's emotions.
After paying such heavy casualties and making such heavy sacrifices... in the end, they still failed to kill the national traitor Tachibana Aoden!
There was another very important reason why he insisted on killing Qingdeng tonight, and that was Qingdeng's growth rate... made him feel scared.
Obviously, in the "Battle of Fanshu Diaosuo" two months ago, when he first met and fought with Qingdeng, he still had a slight advantage in the one-on-one duel with Qingdeng.
And now, only 2 months have passed, this young man who is not yet 20 years old has been able to fight against him and his subordinates at the same time and fight back and forth...
Even though he personally went into battle, he still couldn't defeat this national traitor... Although Kinoshita Mai who strongly supported Aoto was responsible for such a terrible result, Kamino also felt that Aoto's current strength was no longer what it used to be.
Compare.
Such a growth rate... Although he didn't want to admit it, Kamino did feel a little scared.
If you give this guy a little more time, how far can this guy grow? Kamino doesn't dare to think about it any further.
If they just retreat like this, then all the efforts and sacrifices they have made tonight will be in vain...
And I missed tonight. If I want to have such a good opportunity to kill Qingden next time, I don’t know when it will be.
Even though he was so unwilling that his eyes almost burst out with fire...reason still caught up with sensibility.
If they don't withdraw quickly and continue to insist on killing Qingdeng, then they may really have to answer here tonight.
Kamino let go of his teeth that were almost broken. "Withdraw! Withdraw!"
After a fierce battle with Aoto and Mai Kinoshita, only about thirty of Kamino's group are left who are still physically able and able to escape.
For those who are lying on the ground unable to move, or whose bodies have been injured that makes it difficult to run fast... Kamino is really helpless.
After giving instructions quickly and asking a trusted confidant to lead a small group of people who still had some fighting will to act as palace troops to support the larger army, Kamino took the lead and ran straight towards the north.
Because time was too short and there was no time to organize more troops, the "surrounding net" "weaved" by the Huofu Thieves Division 4 was not airtight. There were several trails in the north that could connect to the outside world.
Seeing that Kamino and others had no intention of surrendering obediently, Mizushima Rensaburo, the captain of the Fire Thieves Kaisen Division 4, saw this without any hesitation——
"Fire!" He moved forward and waved his arms vigorously towards Kamino and others!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang... The sound of gunfire exploded like exploding beans.
Rows of scorching bullets, like wild beasts coming down the mountain, roared toward Kamino and the others who were hurriedly fleeing north.
The accuracy of the matchlock gun was very poor. After so many rounds of bullets, it only succeeded in hitting a few people. Most of the bullets either hit the sky or hit the ground.
However, even though the accuracy was poor, the deafening and dense sound of gunfire still gave the members of the anti-barbarian team a strong psychological shock.
Even the expressions of those who were left behind by Kamye were extremely shaken.
Originally, facing Qingdeng who could not take them down even with the numerical advantage and almost single-handedly killed nearly half of their companions, the morale of the people of the anti-barbarian group was already damaged.
Quite a blow.
And now, with the arrival of the Huo Fu Thief Kai, these bursts of gunshots have become the last straw that breaks their psychological defense.
Their morale was completely shattered, and they fled in a panic without any image or order.
Even the "rear-rear troops" who were left behind by Kamino to cut off the rear of the large army fled mostly despite orders.
Although Kamino has been implementing the "Elite Soldiers Strategy" since the tragic failure of intercepting and killing Elodie's family four months ago, no matter how "Elite Soldiers" are, it cannot change that the members of the anti-barbarian group are basically economic people.
The current situation of middle- and lower-level samurai whose conditions and education are quite poor...
Expecting a bunch of uneducated country bumpkins to have the ability to enforce laws and prohibitions... is a completely extravagant hope.
When the wind is favorable, all of them act like wolves and tigers; when the wind goes against them, all of them lose their fighting spirit - this is the true portrayal of this group of people.
Among the fleeing crowd, Qingden accurately found Kamino's figure.
Looking at Kamino who was about to disappear from his field of vision, Qingden's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Those who also want to solve the big trouble in front of them once and for all tonight... Kamino is not the only one!
If possible, Qingdeng would like to put an end to the anti-barbarian group with whom he has a long-standing grudge tonight!
If Kamino, as the leader, does not die, the anti-barbarian group may grow again at any time.
If you want to destroy the rebel group, you must not let Kamino escape anymore... It's too late to run to the east and west street intersections to ask the Huofu Thieves to come over and help him chase Kamino. If you do this, Kamino will run away.
Far.
As a result, Qingden could only cheer up and run after Kamino!
"Tachibana-kun, where are you going?" Mai Kinoshita, standing next to Aoden, subconsciously asked Aoden quickly.
"I'm going to chase Kamino Tatsugoro!" Aonto's answer was concise and clear.
Hearing Qingteng's answer, Kinoshita Mai immediately understood what Qingteng was planning. She didn't say a word - she just followed Qingteng silently.
At the same time, Mizushima Rensaburo waved his big hand again. "Follow me! Don't let anyone run away!"
Kinoshita Mai's timely support\Housuke Rogue Kai's arrival\The madmen of the anti-barbarian group fled in a hurry due to the appearance of Hosetsu Rogue Kai... Sanako, who had seen this scene in full view, finally let out a sigh of relief.
expression.
However, before she could relax for long, her nerves became tense again - because she saw Qingto and Mai Kinoshita chasing the fleeing anti-barbarian group and others.
In just a moment, Aoto and Mai Kinoshita disappeared from her sight. Sanako had no idea what would happen to Aoto and the others after that.
Pray that Aintō and the others can come back victorious... This is the only thing Sanako can do now that he has lost the ability to move.
"Uh...uh...uh...uh..." "Hey! Hold on! I'll take you to the doctor right away!"
At this time, Sanako suddenly heard a male moan and a crying female voice coming from beside him.
Looking around following the sound, I saw a young girl supporting a young man in the distance on the right... Both of them were Kazuto and should be residents of the settlement.
There were many Japanese people living in the Edo settlement, and most of them either opened some kind of shops in the settlement, or were servants/guards hired by the foreigners in the settlement to work.
The male of the pair...that is, the young man who was being supported by the woman, had a lot of blood on his forehead and was moaning unconsciously without any specific meaning.
As for the girl who was helping the young man, she looked like she was about to cry. She tried hard to move forward, trying to walk even a little faster.
But with a rather slender figure, thin arms and thin legs, it was already very difficult for her to just help the young man walk.
Trying to help a young man run as fast as he can... is an impossible task.
The young man must have been injured by a collapsed ceiling or something when he escaped from a burning house or escaped on the street... Sanako guessed in her heart...
The education she received since childhood and her pride as a daughter of a samurai family made Sanako turn around almost without thinking when she saw the man and woman who were struggling to move forward, and jumped to Carrot's side with one foot.
Turn over and get on the cow.
"Ji Jun, lend me your cow for a while." She murmured softly.
Try my best to do what I can do now... Sanako said to herself softly in her heart.
"Carrot! Let's go!" "Moo~~"
Under Sanako's urging, Radish shouted "moo moo" while carrying Sanako on his back and ran towards the couple.
"Hey!" Sanako shouted loudly to stop the couple.
"Get on the horse...ah, no, get on the ox! I'll take you to the doctor!"
In order to reduce the conspicuousness and improve the efficiency of escape, Kamino ordered to "break it into parts" and everyone dispersed and escaped individually.
At this moment, under the strategy of "breaking everything into parts", Kamino, with only three subordinates left, walked north along the silent street with not even a stray dog under his feet.
"Mr. Kamino! It seems like no one is chasing us anymore!"
A subordinate on the left side of Kamye suddenly shouted to Kamye. The subordinate's shout made Kamye turn his head and look back.
Indeed... there is nothing behind him except the street surrounded by moonlight and rich night.
But to be on the safe side, Kamino did not stop, but continued to flee northward away from the settlement.
"Oh shit……"
As soon as he looked back in front of him, Kamino whispered a curse word. Looking back on tonight's actions... it was a complete and utter failure!
An extremely miserable defeat!
The only goal accomplished tonight was to successfully burn down the settlement.
But this small success is nothing compared to the huge failure of "failed to kill Tachibana Aoden despite huge casualties"!
For Kamino, the failure of "not killing Tachibana Aoden" was enough to erase all the glory of tonight.
Full of unwillingness and anger, Kamino felt that his hands were trembling slightly. - Forget it... calm down first... Kamino said "calm down" several times in his heart and did it several times in one go.
Take a deep breath.
The originally cloudy pupils gradually regained their clarity.
——Although there were heavy casualties tonight...but as long as we spend some time patiently, the personnel lost tonight can be replenished bit by bit.
——There are as many people with lofty ideals as possible who want to fight against the foreigners.
——After that...that hateful Tachibana Aoden must be listed as the target that must be dealt with first!
If Kamino gained something tonight...it was that he discovered how great a threat Qingden was to their group.
He can no longer be simply regarded as an official of the "Three Chapters" of the Enforcement Office.
Such strength, such growth rate...the threat cannot be overemphasized.
Kamino, who has regained his composure, has begun to think about how to retaliate against Qingneng and how to kill Qingneng, whose strength can no longer be underestimated.
Just at this time.
While Kamino was still thinking about the big time ahead, he suddenly heard two slightly lonely footsteps coming from behind him.
Footsteps... This is the sound Kamino least wants to hear right now.
He twisted his neck, which was slightly stiff due to the sudden tension of nerves, and looked back... He saw two figures, one tall and one petite, running straight towards them in the moonlight and night behind him.
.
These two figures are none other than Aoto and Mai Kinoshita! Kamino's expression suddenly changed...
"Are you chasing me..." Kamino squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.
The three subordinates who were following Kamino also noticed Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita chasing after them at this time, and the expressions on their faces immediately became as ugly as Kamino's.
Under Kamino's guidance, they turned into an alley on the right, hoping to get rid of Aonto and Mai Kinoshita by moving through the complex terrain.
Speed... this is the strength of Aoto and Mai Kinoshita. Their legs still retain considerable strength due to their "strong muscles".
Relying on the talent effect of "taking the lead", Kamino and others not only did not widen the distance from Qingto and others, but the distance between them actually became closer and closer.
If this continues, sooner or later Aoto and Mai Kinoshita will catch up... After realizing this, the three subordinates next to Kamino looked at each other, and then they all showed decisive expressions.
"Mr. Kamino, you go first!" someone shouted, "We are here to help you hold down that national traitor and that woman!"
These three people are all loyal to Kamino. They regard Kamino as "an indispensable figure in completing the great cause of repelling the foreigners", and they are willing to devote everything they have to Kamino's safety.
Faced with the request from his loyal subordinates to discontinue his life, Kamino's reaction was to nod without hesitation.
"Yeah! Please!"
Kamino only left these words that were both salty and mild... He didn't even look back at his subordinates who had stopped and were stranded in the same place.
"Thieves of the country! Suffer death!" "Death to Heaven!"
The three people stopped to buy time for Kamino to escape. With swords in hand, they took the initiative to greet Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita.
The strength of these three people is far from strong. Kinoshita Mai alone should be able to knock all three of them to the ground.
Therefore, under the joint attack of Aoto and Mai Kinoshita, this extremely fragile "blocking position" was quickly torn apart.
However—these three people’s sacrifices cannot all be considered in vain.
Their desperate delay delayed Qingto and Kinoshita Mai for a few seconds.
And these few seconds were enough for Kamino to run to a place beyond the sight of Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita.
"Tachibana-kun, that Kamino is going far away!"
When Kinoshita Mai shouted this anxiously, Kamino's figure was already so small that it almost disappeared from their field of vision.
Kinoshita Mai was about to chase after her, but Qingto called out to her first.
"Wait a minute, Miss Kinoshita. Don't go here, I know a shortcut that can take you to the front of Kamino Tatsugoro!"
At this time, Qingnobo suddenly discovered that this neighborhood was one of the neighborhoods he was responsible for daily inspections as Sadamachi Hui Doshin?
Memories of the architectural layout and road conditions of this neighborhood quickly emerged in Qingdeng's mind.
After calling Kinoshita to stop, he called for Kinoshita to follow quickly, and led Kinoshita to turn left and turn into a path on the left that was covered with fallen leaves.
With those three subordinates taking the initiative to stay... Kamino is now completely alone.
Kamino, who had no subordinates left around him, moved as far as possible through the inconspicuous alley alone.
Crash la la la la...Suddenly, the sound of gurgling water came into my ears.
The surrounding light gradually began to brighten... A light blue light shone from the alley ahead. After rushing out of the alley, Kamino suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Outside the alley are spacious streets on both sides, and directly in front is a short narrow wooden bridge over an unknown river.…
Moonlight, river, small bridge... these three elements constitute a beautiful scenery full of charm, but Kamino is not in the mood to appreciate these natural scenery.
Not daring to stop at all, he went straight forward and boarded the narrow wooden bridge that made a creaking sound when he stepped on it.
The moment Kamino stepped onto the bridge, something happened. Crunch\crunch\crunch\crunch...
Kamino heard the sound of the bridge being trampled directly in front of him... and there were two of them. His expression immediately froze and he looked up.
His vision was quite blurry due to the dimness of the night...but he could still vaguely see two figures, one large and one small, running towards him along the opposite bridge entrance.
These two figures are dyed red for completely different reasons. One figure is wearing a bright red yukata.
As for the other figure... it was because there was a large amount of blood that had not yet solidified on its body. Shenye paused silently and stopped. Qingden, who was opposite him, also stopped at the same time.
The dark clouds in the night sky had already dispersed just now.
The blue moonlight, unobstructed by dark clouds, fell through the sky to the ground, and fell on the bridge deck and the shoulders of the two swordsmen.
Under the moonlight and at night, two swordsmen met on a narrow road on this wooden bridge! No one spoke, they just looked at each other quietly.
The only sound in this space is the sound of the foaming river flowing quietly under the bridge.
Against the backdrop of the moonlight, the bridge fell into a silence as if it were under the sea.
"...No need to say more." Kamino's sudden calm voice, without sadness or joy, caused the silence on the bridge to be shaken.
As if he agreed with Kamino's words, a smile appeared on Qingden's lips. "...Ah, you are right." Click - Kamino touched the scabbard of the sword with his left hand and raised it with his thumb.
Open the sheath.
Chocking, licking, licking... The blade that was pulled out inch by inch shone with a clear blue light under the moonlight.
"Miss Kinoshita."
Qingden bent his left arm, clamped the root of the blade of the Dingkijin with the crook of his left arm, slowly pulled it from the base to the tip of the blade, and wiped the blade with the kimono cloth in the crook of his left arm.
"Stand back a little, and then...stay as far away from me as possible later." Kinoshita Mai did not show any objection to Qingto's request.
After taking a deep look at Qing Deng, she nodded gently and stepped back lightly, leaving enough space for the two swordsmen on the bridge.
Those who want to escape have no way to retreat. Those who want to pursue have caught up with their target. Both sides have no room for maneuver.
Yes! There is no need to say more about this situation!
Now that everything you say seems false, only the sound of drawing a sword is real! "Kagezhin Akechi-ryu," "Kamino Tatsugoro!"
Kamino put on the posture of Kagami Akechi-ryu. He announced the door loudly, conveying the strong determination of "Let's fight to the death!"
Qingteng held the knife in front of him. "Tianren Rishinryu." "Tachibana Qingteng!"
Come here! - Qingdeng's eyes sparkled like fire!
The next moment, the two swordsmen stepped on the bridge together, shooting out from where they were, heading forward! Towards a future where only one person is destined to survive!
Mars explodes.
The two swords collided violently in the air, and sparks burst out. The surging sword energy shattered the moonlight!
The two of them glared at each other very close to each other through the two swords held together. Bang!
Qingden used his strength in his waist, and with a "clang" sound, he opened Kamino's sword, and then swung the sword from the top of the road, slashing towards Kamino's face...
Kamino snorted coldly, and quickly retracted the sword that had just been deflected by Qingto in front of him. When Ding Guishen's blade had just struck down, he successfully intercepted the slash in mid-air.
In the next moment, the two men exchanged offense and defense.
This time it was Kamino who launched the attack. His sword swept towards Qingteng's lower body from below, but Qingteng accurately swung his sword in mid-air to intercept it.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang... The two silver snakes were entangled and biting back and forth in mid-air. The soft moonlight was disturbed by the sharp sword shadow.
The two knives colliding back and forth created a large number of flying sparks, like fireflies on a summer night.
The reason why Aonto asked Kinoshita Mai to retreat and chose to challenge Kamino alone was very simple - if he and Kinoshita Mai went up together, there would not be enough space on the bridge for both of them to show off their skills.
Fighting against the enemy together will only hinder each other.
Facts have proved that Qingdeng's judgment was correct.
The narrow bridge deck is only large enough for three adults to pass side by side, which is just enough space for Qingdeng alone.
After more than a dozen blows back and forth like this, Qingto and Kamino jumped behind each other and pulled away, as if they had agreed in advance.
——This guy’s strength is far inferior to what he was just now!
The excitement made Kamino couldn't help but hold the knife in his hand tighter.
The high-speed knife confrontation just now gave both parties a certain understanding of each other's current status.
Kamino clearly felt that - neither the strength nor the speed of Aoden's sword strikes were as good as when he fought alone against 67 samurai including himself not long ago.
The hard battle between 1 and 67 just now has consumed a lot of his physical energy... Kamino secretly made this judgment.
In fact, Qingden's current strength is indeed not as good as before. But this is not just because of his weak physical strength and physical fatigue.
The main reason is that "lonely" has failed.
Only when you encounter enemies that are stronger than you or are more numerous than you, the talent effect of "Lonely" will be activated.
"Lonely" failed to activate... This is certainly a pity.
But on the bright side, this means one thing - under the system's certification, Kamino's strength is no longer stronger than Qingden now!
Looking back at the "Battle of Fanshu Tiaoshu" two months ago, Qingden could barely reach a balance with Kamino only when he activated "Lonely".
But now, when facing Kamino alone again, the "lonely" talent effect will no longer be activated.
This declares that in this short period of 2 months, Qingdeng's strength has made great progress that can be described as "progressing by leaps and bounds"!
Ayoto's decline in strength due to his "solitary" not being activated and the massive consumption of physical energy caused Kamino's fighting spirit and desire to win to grow to an unprecedented level.
There are also people with an inflated fighting spirit...and Qingden!
Qingden knows far better than Kamino about his current state.
According to Qingto's estimation - given his current "battle-damage state where the amplification effect is not fully achieved", he can roughly fight to a tie with Kamino.
This battle will be more difficult than originally expected...but Qingden is not afraid or discouraged at all.
The flame-like brilliance in Qingden's eyes became even more dazzling at this moment!
Qingdeng, who was concentrating on the sword in his hand and the enemy in front of him, didn't realize at this time - a vague excitement was flowing in his heart.
The second round of the two swordsmen...begins in the tranquility of complete silence...
Kamino stood in the middle position, holding the knife in his hand upright in front of his chest, with the tip of the knife slightly raised. The knife with a faint blue light divided his entire figure into two neat halves.
What seemed like a plain posture actually contained murderous intent and exuded a terrifying invisible sense of oppression.
Qingdeng showed no flinch or fear.
Ignoring the sense of oppression emanating from Kamino's body, he crossed his legs, pointed the tip of the knife at Kamino's chest, and assumed his best Kasumi stance.
The two people facing each other were in a posture like this - starting from the refreshing night breeze sent from the distant sky, they have been staring at each other until now.
Finally, Qingden was the first to break the confrontation. He moved forward little by little, shortening the distance between him and Kamino step by step.
Kamino stood still and allowed Aomori to approach.
After a while, the distance between the two was only four or five meters. Qingto continued to approach, but Kamino still stood motionless.
There is only more than three meters between the two...the two still continue to maintain such a "tacit understanding".
Qingdeng continued to move forward with steps as if the soles of his feet were glued to the ground, like ink smeared on rice paper.
The divine field with two feet firmly planted on the bridge is like strong bamboo or rock.
And just when the distance between the two was less than two meters, Qingdeng suddenly stood still. In the next moment... the world pressed the quick release button! Dang! Dang!
The two of them swung their swords quickly at the same moment! In the blink of an eye, their swords collided twice in mid-air.
Two sword lights like silver snakes once again disturbed the quiet moonlight.
After blocking Qingden's slashing attack with a "clang" sound, Kamino's sword tip suddenly stopped motionless, and then swept the sword horizontally across Qingden's chest with the force of a wind that swept through the remaining clouds!
Qingden was neither panic nor afraid. He leaned his body to dodge Kamino's blow. At the same time, he moved his left shoulder forward, hiding the blade of Dingguishen behind him with the lower right section, and then raised it towards Kamino from bottom to top.
However, Kamino jumped back slightly and dodged the sword.
Aoto switched stances to the one most commonly used in natural Rishin-ryu: flat blue eyes, with the tip of the sword pointed diagonally at Kamino's right eye.
Kamino, who was still holding the middle position, shrank his body, tightened his neck, shoulders and waist, as if he wanted to hide his entire body in the shadow of the sword standing in front of him.
Obviously, Kamino's posture is accumulating explosive power.
Sure enough - Kamino let out a low roar, and then in the next moment, the body that had been huddled together suddenly opened up like "a compressed spring was released"! He rushed straight towards Aomori!
The sharpness and murderous intent contained in this knife should not be underestimated.
Qingden deflected the blow and retreated. However, Kamino's offensive did not stop and he immediately launched a new blow.
The new attack was a straight thrust with equally terrifying power. However, Qingden easily blocked this fatal sword with his knife.
The two of them staggered and exchanged positions. The bridge made a "dong-dong-dong" sound. Stand still!
Turn around! Then slash at the opponent with the knife again! "Haaahhhhh!"
As expected of the Kagami Akechi ryu who is known for its "elegance", even the ki and the vocals sound more graceful than other schools.
Kamino took the upper road to attack, and the sword in his hand drew an arc of light in the air. Aomori did not retreat but advanced, jumping up violently. Kamino and Aomori's swords and bodies rushed towards each other, and they hit hard.
Together.
clang!
There was another huge clang that made the spectators think that someone's knife had broken.
As if being bounced back by an invisible force, the two of them retreated in both directions, and their feet scratched two white marks on the bridge...
The pull away... only lasted for a moment.
In the next moment, both of them stopped, and then charged at each other! Kamino's sword returned to the mid-level stance, and Aomori moved to meet the lower level.
Qingdeng leaned over and slashed as if sliding across the ground. The knife he swung upwards from the lower section scraped across the bridge, and the sharp tip of the knife cut a thin mark on the bridge.
Facing Qingden's slash from below, Kamino took a deep breath, and then slashed down with the sword in his hand! He wanted to suppress Qingden's swift blow!
The sword that Qingden drew from bottom to top contained powerful strength and superb skills.
When the two swords connected, Kamino felt as if the sword in his hand was about to be swept away by a strong wind blowing from below.
Although Kamino's powerful and heavy slash was able to accurately catch Ayoto's sword in mid-air, the huge crisis that followed made Kamino's face change drastically.
Fortunately, Kamino was not a weak person to be bullied. He gritted his teeth and exerted strength with his hands. He relied on brute force and skill to hold the saber firmly and did not let it go.
Huge power burst out where the two knives met.
Driven by this force, the two of them lowered their waists and stepped forward. While changing positions, they took advantage of the situation and made another move. Neither side took advantage of this move.
Aoto and Kamino, who passed by each other, stood back at their original positions. This round ended with Aoto having the slight upper hand. But the battle continued!
****************
The author spent a long time yesterday thinking about whether to let Qingtou and Kamino say some hot words before the fight started to heighten the atmosphere.
After thinking about it, I realized that it felt stupid to have Aonto and Kamino speak in a long and verbose manner before the fight started - a duel between swordsmen, no need to say anything!
Just draw the knife and chop!
