Qingdeng stood there with his legs slightly apart.
He held both Echizen Guards and Hitachi Guards in his hands, and there was no flaw in his posture.
His posture is like that of a lion with all its hair and beard spread out. Anyone who sees him, even if they hate him, will feel that he is majestic and majestic, which makes people feel fascinated and envious.
"Kitahara Konosuke, I haven't seen you for a while."
Qingden said calmly, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again in this life, but I never thought that we would be destined to meet each other at such a time and on such an occasion."
Kithara Konosuke snorted heavily.
"Ju Qingden! We haven't found you yet, but we didn't expect you to come to our door yourself!"
"I didn't mean to do this, but the wind doesn't stop even though the tree wants to be quiet."
Speaking of this, Qingdeng's tone suddenly rose several degrees.
"I heard everything you said just now!"
"Konosuke Kitahara! What did you mean when you said 'revenge against the Tachibana family' just now?"
"It's not revenge against me, but revenge against my family... Where does your motivation for revenge come from?"
As soon as Aoto finished speaking, Kitahara Konosuke showed a...surprised, but also full of charm expression as if he had guessed Aoto's question.
"Hmph! It's true... Ju Qingden, you really don't know anything."
"When I first met you and saw the look in your eyes, I vaguely guessed that you didn't know anything."
"Forget it! Since you don't know anything, I don't have the time to explain it to you one by one!"
Between the lines of Kitahara Konosuke's words, there is an uncontrollable anger.
Compared to Kitahara Konosuke's indignation, Aoden's immediate reaction and demeanor were particularly calm.
At first glance, Aoto, who had been talking to Kitahara Konosuke just now, seemed a bit verbose.
But in essence, he was trying to obtain information while locking in the positions of Kitahara Konosuke and others!
"That's it...then, no need to say anything more."
Having said that, Aoto lifted Echizenzumi Tsunagaki Mamoru Kanezhong, who was naturally dragged to his right side, to his chest, held the sword in both hands, and raised his stance from the middle.
"Draw the sword!"
"After you become my prisoner, I want to see if you can remain silent again!"
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene changed drastically!
It was not Aoto's actions and words that contributed to the change in the atmosphere, but the expressions of Kitahara Konosuke and others.
The moment they saw Aoto assume a fighting stance, Kitahara Konosuke and others' expressions changed in various ways.
Or look solemn.
Or look frightened.
Or at a loss.
However, no matter what kind of expression it is, it all points to the same emotion: fear of "Nioh's Blade"!
"……do not be afraid!"
At this moment, Kitahara Konosuke suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily.
"Open your eyes and take a good look!"
"The enemy that we have always cherished is now right in front of us!"
"This place and moment is both a dangerous situation and a great opportunity!"
"It is true that Tachibana Aoden is a famous swordsman! He is a Niou who can defeat the whole group of rebels by himself without losing any of them!"
"But we also have our winning potential!"
"Our desire to avenge our father is enough to melt stubborn rocks!"
"As long as you stick to the heart of revenge and do it consistently! Then the power of 'heart' will be able to make up for the lack of 'force'!"
"What's more, even if we turn around and run away now, in such a narrow place with nowhere to escape, we still can't escape from the hands of Niou, who is famous for his amazing leg strength!"
"So, from the moment Tachibana Aoden showed up, the only road ahead of us was to 'fight like hell'!"
When shouting the word "fight", Kitahara Konosuke drew his sword and raised it in front of him.
"Follow me! Take off Tachibana Aoden's head!"
It has to be said that Konosuke Kitahara is worthy of being a cadre-level figure in a large group such as the "Shimizu Clan", and he has quite a leadership style.
Judging from the results alone, his simple speech had remarkable results.
Those who looked frightened and uneasy just now gradually regained their composure after listening to his speech.
The light and shadow of the sword were very dazzling in the night.
"Feel free to come over here."
With that said, Qingden took a step forward.
At the same time, the sharp tip of Echizen Sumi Hitachi Mamoru Kaneshiro in his hand reflected the moonlight, which was particularly thin because it was obscured by thick clouds, and a striking cold light shot into the eyes of Kitahara Konosuke and others.
Kitahara Konosuke and others took the lead in taking action.
Boom boom boom boom!
Like a herd of galloping horses, the footsteps seemed to tear the floor of the corridor apart, swarming towards Qingdeng!
Konosuke Kitahara not only talks beautifully, he also practices it.
He howled and rushed to the front of the crowd.
Even if we just look at the extremely simple principle of "deal with those who are close to you first, then attack those who are far away from you", Aoto should have attacked Kitahara Konosuke first.
However, he didn't do that.
He intends to save Kitahara Konosuke's life - he has a mountain of questions to ask this man.
In an ever-changing and chaotic battle of this scale, it is very difficult to accurately control the force of your hands so as to injure people without killing them.
Therefore, Aomori decided to temporarily let Kitahara Konosuke go to weaken the combat power of his subordinates first!
Sooner or later, Konosuke Kitahara's sword had already struck Aomori.
Just by looking at the straight tendon of this sword, which is neither crooked nor slanted, you can tell that this leader of the "Shimizu Clan" is also an outstanding swordsman who lives up to his status as a samurai!
Along with Kitahara Konosuke's slashing attack, there were two people on his left and right who attacked Aoto.
The corridor the two sides are currently in can only accommodate three adult males to launch an offensive side by side at most.
Therefore, dispatching three people at the same time to attack Aoto is the limit that Kitahara Konosuke and others can do.
In the flash of lightning, I saw Qingden turning around under the swords of the three men headed by Kitahara Konosuke.
Take a step forward and dodge Kōnosuke Kitahara's sword.
Taking another step, he ducked behind Kōnosuke Kitahara.
Standing behind Kitahara Konosuke is a "scarface" with a scar on his lip.
Seeing Qingdeng suddenly ducking in front of him, Scarface was startled at first, then quickly calmed down, and then aimed a sharp slash at Qingdeng's forehead.
Not a bad reaction... Qingdeng was certain that this scarred face must be a battle-hardened man who was used to seeing blood.
Qingdenwan waved the knife in his hand with a scarred face.
Although it seems that the speed of the two swords is the same, it is obvious that Scarface is going all out, while Qingdeng still has some remaining strength.
Suddenly - there was a sonorous sound.
Qingdeng flicked Scarface's knife away.
The next breath, Qingdeng's upper body suddenly leaned forward, and his right elbow seemed to fly out.
At this moment, the Echizen Sumi Tsunaki Mamoru Kaneshige in his hand turned into a blurry afterimage.
The speed of Qing Deng's strike was far superior to Shi Cai's.
The blade cuts through the air so fast that it's dizzying to see.
I saw a ray of white light entering Scarface's neck.
Because the speed was so fast, bystanders with insufficient vision could not tell whether Qingdeng's knife hit Scarface.
Scarface seemed to be frightened by Qingdeng's quick blow. He stood frozen on the spot, still holding the knife in his hand, and no blood could be seen on his body.
A tall dwarf behind Scarface saw Scarface suddenly stopped moving, and when he was about to subconsciously raise his hands to support him, his body suddenly fell straight backwards, right into the dwarf's arms.
middle.
"Ahhhhh!"
The dwarf screamed.
As he shouted, a blood line appeared on Scarface's neck.
The blood lines become larger, darker, and more obvious at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Thick, warm blood gurgled out, staining the corridor floor red.
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Before your thoughts move, your body has already moved ahead!
Qingden suddenly closed his left leg, knelt on one knee, and while turning around, he unexpectedly slashed at the cold air approaching from behind.
Phew!
The edge of the blade penetrates the flesh.
In order to combat the sluggish feel of the blade being trapped by flesh and blood, Qingdeng secretly used his strength and changed the "horizontal cut" to a "waist cut".
Damn it!
By the time Echizen Sutada Hitachi Mamoru Kaneshige left the enemy's body, his blade no longer showed any cold light - the long and slender blade was completely covered in scarlet blood.
The figure of the enemy, whose upper and lower body was only connected by a little bit of skin and flesh, staggered. He turned his back to Qingden and staggered forward for a few steps, and then fell to the ground like a collapse.
But in the blink of an eye, Qingden killed two of their companions.
The rapid death of his companions and Aoto's sharp and beast-like attacks all aroused a panic that made the expressions of Kitahara Konosuke and others visibly shaken.
Seeing this, Qingdeng decided to "strike while the iron is hot"!
"ha……"
He exhaled a thick breath.
At almost the same time as he exhaled, he clenched the knife held by his side in a lower right posture.
"Lonely", "Gathering God", "Tiger's Arms +1", "Bear's Waist +1", "Elephant's Core +1" and other talents are activated!
Echizen resident Tsune Rikumo Kanashige drew an arc in the air.
With just one blow, three good heads were cut off!
When the precious blade that could not be exchanged for a hundred dollars was swung again, the heads of two more people flew into the air.
How tough is human skin?
How strong are human bones?
For ordinary people who have never been exposed to swordsmanship, or are new to martial arts, they may not even be able to break a bone with several slashes.
Qingdeng cut off three heads with just one strike!
If you don't have outstanding strength, you can't do it!
Qingdeng's strength is really terrifying... In other words, the power that comes out when talents such as "Lonely Gale" and "Tiger Arm +1" are superimposed are really terrifying.
Just now, when he was wielding the Echizen Sumi Hitachi Mori Kaneshige, the sound and momentum of the blade cutting through the air was like an express carriage speeding along a gentle road!
The sound of breaking wind is not a "whooshing" sound, but a "booming" sound.
Qingden felt that he was in a good state, and his limbs that gradually moved became more and more flexible.
He casually wiped away the unknown person's blood that splashed on his face, looking for his next opponent.
It was like a sharp gaze concealing a sword, sweeping across the surroundings along the blade of Echizenzumi Hitachi Moru Kaneshige.
Before he could organize a new offensive, someone couldn't help but rush toward him.
Qingdeng heard the solid and powerful sounds of footsteps and the sonorous sound of swords coming from behind him.
He didn't look back, he just turned his head slightly to the side and looked behind him from the corner of his eye - the assailant was a short man who could be as tall as Gua Shengxiu.
Although Xiao Jizi was very aggressive, Qingdeng concluded just by looking at his movements that there was no need to face him directly or open up a fight with him.
Aoto looked away, then suddenly knelt down on his knees, holding the knife behind his back, arching his back, and stabbed Kanashige Echizen, Hitachi Rikumori backwards against the ground.
"Huh! Huh! Huh ah ah ah ah!"
With a painful scream, Dwarf's heart was pierced.
Under the dual effects of "severe pain" and "shock", his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and a pair of eyeballs seemed to roll off to the ground at any time.
Qingdeng's attack distance far exceeded his expectations.
In his estimation, he should have to take another 1 or 2 steps forward before Qingdeng's sword could touch him.
Qingdeng's unusually wide attack range caused Dwarf's expression to be dominated by strong resentment and confusion.
The heart was pierced... with such a fatal injury that Hua Tuo would have shaken his head even if he came, there was no possibility of survival.
Just as Dwarf's body fell forward due to the loss of vitality, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the mystery why Qingdeng's attack range suddenly became so wide out of the corner of his eye.
The man who took his life did not hold the hilt of the sword with his hand, but tightly clamped the end of the hilt with the index finger and the second joint of the middle finger of his right hand...
Thinking back to last year, in a duel with the leader of the anti-barbarian group: Kamino Tatsugoro, Aoden was almost defeated by the opponent's secret technique.
At this time, Kamino’s secret skill was to hold the end of the knife handle with his fingers!
Generally speaking, the most common way to hold a sword in Japanese swordsmanship is to hold the front half of the handle with the tiger's mouth close to the sword.
Clamp the end of the knife handle with your fingers - this is equivalent to increasing the attack range by adding the entire length of the knife handle and part of your fingers.
In this way, the attack range will naturally become much larger.
The distance from the skin of the chest to the heart is only a few centimeters.
The attack range suddenly increased, which meant that the stabbing that could only cut through the skin could now easily pierce the heart.
Although he and Kamino are eternal enemies, Qingden has to admit: Kamino's move is really wonderful!
This technique, which can instantly increase the attack distance, is similar to suddenly taking out a revolver from your arms. It is an excellent technique for sneak attack on the enemy!
After the duel with Kamino ended, Aomori secretly made up his mind: I will learn the technique of "holding a knife between my fingers"!
However, it is obvious that this is not a simple trick that can be learned immediately.
In essence, this move requires no skills, only one thing: strength!
To be more precise, it is strong finger strength!
The weight of the katana is not light at all.
A common knife can weigh several kilograms at least.
The weight of the sword itself, coupled with the leverage... Let alone attacking with the knife clamped, whether ordinary people can even clamp the knife is a problem.
Compared with ordinary people, Qingden has the gift of enhancing the strength and flexibility of his fingers: "dexterous hands". However, even so, Qingden still cannot pick up lanterns with just two fingers like Kamino.
Heavy sword.
However, as of today, Qingdeng's "Skillful Hands" has been upgraded to "Skillful Hands + 2" through the fusion of talents many times.
The substantial upgrade of his "skillful hand" greatly increased Qingdeng's finger strength.
With the blessing of "Skilled Hands + 2", his fingers were finally able to hold the sword!
However, he has not yet been able to perform a slashing attack that requires large movements and consumes a lot of energy.
At this stage, after holding the knife between his fingers, Qingdeng can only push the knife out... that is, he can only use thrusting.
He has to practice for a while longer, or wait for his "skillful hand" to be further upgraded, before he can catch up with Kamino's level.
But no matter what, after the sword-drawing technique "Liuguang", Qingdeng has developed a new secret technique that can defeat the enemy unexpectedly - this is a matter of joy!
Qingdeng gave his new secret skill a majestic name: Yang Yan!
The name was chosen because "Kagero" sometimes means mirage in Japanese.
The killing range is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and an attack that can be hit if you are not careful should be the same as an erratic mirage in the eyes of the enemy!
The short boy slowly fell down, right on Qingden's back.
The warm blood stained Qingden's haori.
Qingdeng took advantage of the situation and used a blow to throw him over his shoulder. Using Qingdeng's back as a fulcrum, Qingdeng's body somersaulted forward.
Bang!
The short boy smashed the paper sliding door of the room in front of Qingdeng and fell into the depths of the room.
"Drink ah ah ah ah!"
"Look at the knife!"
The enemy attacked from the left and right at the same time. Although the timing of the attack was commendable, the speed was too slow.
Qingden jumped away faster than them and jumped into the next room.
Blah blah blah...
The enemies filed in after Qingdeng, filling up the room like a smear of ink.
The enemy hiding in the dark rushed towards Qingdeng with his sword.
The moment he sensed a subtle change in the air around him, Qingdeng instinctively turned away and ran forward a few steps.
When he turned around, the enemy who was unwilling to stop and wanted to deliver another blow was already in front of him.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Two white blades made a sound in the wind.
Qingdeng swung his sword to deflect the enemy's head-on slash.
Immediately afterwards, when Qingdeng passed by the enemy, his body suddenly sank and he swung his sword across the enemy's waist.
The sharp blade cuts through the flesh, and the touch of the internal organs is continuously transmitted along the handle to Qingdeng's palm.
Qingdeng didn't even notice that his waist was cut in half, and he collapsed on the ground. He looked at the enemy who was breathing in but not breathing out, and turned to face the next opponent.
"Avenge daddy!"
A strong man wielding a gold-breaking stick immediately attacked.
Golden stick: a characteristic weapon of ancient Japan. It has no fixed form, but generally refers to a stick-type weapon that has been strengthened and added with other substances to increase its attack power.
The golden stick in the strong man's hand is very simple, with only a large number of iron nails embedded in the tip, and the shape is a bit like a mace.
As the saying goes: A stick in the moon is worth a sword in a lifetime.
This means that for stick training, a few months of training is generally enough; for sword training, it takes a year before you can use some decent moves when cutting with others, and perform some serious offense and defense.
; If you practice spear, you can continue to learn and improve the moves even if you practice for a lifetime.
There are not too many complicated things in stick technique. Just learn to exert force, learn the changes in different attack distances, know how to dodge and block, and know how to seize the opportunity to attack, that's pretty much it.
However, just because the stick technique is easy to practice does not mean that the stick technique is weak.
Not only does the stick have a far greater attack range than ordinary swords, but it also has neither a guard nor a blade, nor a tip nor a handle - from another perspective, every part of the stick can
Use it as a weapon!
If you practice it well, the ever-changing trajectory of the stick will never be matched by ordinary swordsmen.
Fearing the destructive power and attack range of the Golden Broken Rod, Qingdeng did not rush forward.
While cautiously dealing with the strong man, he waited for the best opportunity to counterattack.
At the same time, he was able to deal with attacks from other enemies coming from different directions with ease.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
The strong man waved the golden stick in his hand like a whirlwind.
Even though the strong man's attack was very fierce, if he couldn't hit his opponent all the time, these movements of swinging the golden broken stick widely were just a waste of energy.
Suddenly, the strong man lost strength, so the movements of his hands were half a beat slow.
Like a shark smelling blood, Qingden galloped forward, attacking from bottom to top with the blade, from between the left and right hands of the strong man holding the stick body, and cut the golden stick in his palm into two pieces in one fell swoop.
The long and thick golden stick turned into a short stick held in each hand.
The middle door is wide open, and the time of death has come.
Qingdeng jumped up, pounced on the strong man, and hacked him to death in the blink of an eye.
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Elephant's Core"]
[Talent Introduction: The core strength of the body is better than ordinary people]
[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
[Ding! Start talent fusion]
[Ding! "Elephant's Core +1" and "Elephant's Core" begin to merge]
[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]
[Introduction to the talent of "Elephant's Core +2": the talent effect is enhanced on the original basis. "+9" is the highest level]
…
Last minute upgrade.
Qingden suddenly felt a warm current surrounding his waist.
After the warmth subsided, he felt that the muscles in his waist and abdomen were tighter and more powerful.
The strong man's blood column was still splattering, but Qingdeng had already jumped to the next blood column - he lifted up his body, and his movements were as light as a flying swallow. When he passed over someone's head, that person's
The Tianling Cap cracked in two.
When Qingdeng landed, he happened to land in front of an enemy with a thick beard.
The bearded man froze.
"Drink, drink ah ah ah!"
In the next breath, he summoned up the courage to raise the knife, but before he could strike down the knife in his palm, Qingdeng had already disappeared from his sight.
"Over here."
Qingdeng and the bearded man met each other by mistake.
At the moment when the sleeves of both parties met, the bearded man vomited blood and fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times and then became silent again.
While cutting open the bearded man's belly, Qingden easily pulled out the wakizashi from the man's waist.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Qingden threw the wakizashi with great force before it even had time to cover up the heat.
The wakizashi, which was polished very sharply, pulled out a straight trajectory in the air and flew into the chest of the person next to him.
Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng seemed to have eyes on his back. He slashed the person who approached him from behind with a knife and knocked him to the ground.
"Uh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
At this time, a new enemy appeared.
Two enemies of similar height rushed toward Qingdeng, one on the left and the other on the right.
Qingdeng calmly lowered his center of gravity, took up the Kasumi stance, and pointed the tip of the sword at the enemy on his left——
Natural flow of mind and ignorance!
The blade of Echizen Sutada Rikusumaru Kaneshige penetrated the body of the enemy on his left.
Qingdeng's offensive was not over yet! He swept to the right along the direction of the blade, and his clothes, flesh, muscles, and bones were cut into pieces by the blade.
The blade cuts through the body of the enemy on the left, and then sweeps straight towards the enemy on the right.
This person's reaction was quite quick, and he quickly turned sideways and protected the knife in his hand against his chest.
But his resistance was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot in the face of Qingdeng's slashing attack.
When the two knives came into contact, the man suddenly felt a force as strong as Mount Tai spread to his body along the blade. His arms instantly lost consciousness, and his ribs and internal organs seemed to be displaced by the shock.
His knife was also severely deformed by the beating, and the blade bent sharply inward from the point where the two knives met.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
He held the bounced knife and stumbled backwards, until he finally stopped retreating when he hit the wall.
"Oh shit!"
"hateful!"
Two more people rushed towards Qingdeng.
But one of them suddenly fell to the ground without saying a word, as if struck by lightning.
As for the other person...
In a hurry, he saw a black scarf flying high, filling his field of vision.
"Varied……"
Before he could even say a complete "what" sentence, his life was cut off by Qingdeng's quick blow.
…
Qingden ran around in various rooms and corridors.
Attack and defense are constantly switching.
One figure after another fell down.
The blood dyed the walls and corridors bright red.
Until now, Aomori had to admit that Kitahara Konosuke and others had a strong will to fight.
According to common sense, after witnessing Qingdeng's powerful strength and seeing his companions being chopped down one by one like melons and vegetables, one should have lost their morale early and scrambled for their lives.
However, as of now, no one on Kitahara Konosuke's side has escaped from the battle.
Although many of them had obvious panic and fear on their brows, they still fought bravely with their swords raised and refused to retreat.
Since the beginning of the battle, Qingdeng has discovered that all enemies have dragons and phoenixes tattooed on their bodies.
This shows that these people are all Yakuza.
As for whether they are all Yakuza from the "Shimizu Clan" like Kithara Konosuke, Aonto doesn't know.
A mere Yakuza actually has such a strong will to fight...
It must be "revenge" driving them.
In order to avenge their so-called father, they completely put their lives at risk.
Qingdeng was slightly surprised by this - he didn't expect that there actually existed a Yakuza in this world who implemented the way of "benevolence and righteousness".
In order to put gold on their faces, Yakuza people like to call themselves "Ren Xia" and often raise the banner of "benevolence and righteousness".
Why never betray?
Never bully the weak.
What about respecting the boss and being friendly to subordinates?
But in fact, what Yakuza does in daily life has nothing to do with "benevolence and righteousness".
While engaging in human trafficking, forcing good girls to sell their bodies, issuing loan sharks and other dirty deeds of exterminating children and grandchildren, they talk about "benevolence and righteousness"... It's really ridiculous!
There are endless incidents of betrayal, betrayal, and betrayal within Yakuza.
Although the heroic feat of Konosuke Kitahara and others fighting desperately to avenge their "father" was admirable, Aoto was completely unmoved.
Out of a simple sense of justice, Qingden had never had a good impression of Yakuza, who acted unscrupulously and relied on torturing the weak to survive.
The benevolence and righteousness of Kitahara Konosuke and others surprised Aoto - that's all.
Apart from being surprised, no other emotions emerged in Qingdeng's heart.
His blade is still sharp, and his offensive is still merciless!
Under Aoto's fierce attack, only 10 enemies, including Konosuke Kitahara, were still standing.
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a strange sound coming from behind.
He turned his head and looked back.
Bang!
The sound of pistol firing echoed in the deep night sky.
