Chapter 280: Confrontation at the middle gate! Showdown in sword-drawing skills! Qing Dengs Broken Sword!
"Drink haha!"
Sanako drank sweetly and waved her naginata like a wheel. The shadow of the knife rolled under the moonlight, rolling up a cloud of blood mist.
Sanako has a physique that heals injuries easily and leaves scars less easily. In addition, she is proficient in medical skills and has both martial arts and medical skills.
Therefore, under her own personal treatment, the injury on her right shoulder...that is, the knife wound caused by the Rakshasa, has made a gratifying recovery.
However, no matter how powerful her physique is and how excellent her medical skills are, it is impossible for such a large wound to heal in such a short period of time.
At best, it can only prevent it from bleeding and cracking easily.
When I move my right shoulder, I still feel a dull pain, and the flexibility of my right arm is not as good as before.
However, even so, Sanako can still swing the nearly 2-meter-long naginata flying up and down, easily chopping the human body into pieces!
She split a certain Yakuza's head open with just one blow.
Another stab, and another ball of blood mist spurted out.
When the naginata was swung again, a new scream sounded.
Soon enough, the naginata stabbed straight through Sanako's hand like a spear, tying someone's front and back together, giving him a heart-warming heartbeat - a "heart-breaking heart" in the physical sense.
"Cool" and "Heart is soaring".
The thick and long naginata was as flexible as a whip in Sanako's catkin, repeatedly drawing graceful arcs in the air. The long and sharp blade had caused the heads of countless people to fall off and their limbs to be broken into pieces.
Abruptly, Sanazi heard rapid footsteps coming from behind.
A tall, strong man wanted to attack Sanako from behind.
Sanako looked like he had eyes on his back. He didn't turn his head or move his body. The only moving object was the naginata in his hand.
The bottom of the knife pole swings flexibly like a fish's tail. The bottom of the pole hits the strong man's wrist, and the knife immediately flies into the air.
The next moment, the naginata cut across half an arc, the base of the pole turned in front of Sanako, and the blade rotated behind him, slashing off the strong man's head.
Another person attacked.
One second he was shouting, and the next second he was silent.
It was as if his memory had been stripped away. Before he blinked, Sanako was still five steps in front of him, but in just a blink of an eye, his field of vision was filled with the hems of flying kendo uniforms.
How did Sanako get close to him? How did she take action? He had no impression at all.
It wasn't until the world in front of him turned 180 degrees, with the ground running to his head and the ceiling running to his feet, that he realized what had happened - Sanako grabbed his shoulder and used jujitsu to
His uniform was on the ground, and he fell on his back with his neck on the ground.
Being in close contact with such a beautiful beauty - for a moment, this person felt an inexplicable happiness.
This burst of happiness came suddenly and disappeared quickly, so short-lived.
Almost the moment he felt happy, his neck was broken and he completely lost consciousness.
His consciousness and his sense of happiness are forever lost in nothingness.
Did he die happily?
I'm afraid only he himself can know about this kind of thing.
The naginata cuts out, stabs straight, smashes down, lifts up, spins, and flies.
Sanako's naginata technique has indeed been cultivated to a very high level.
Not only is the power amazing, but each move is quite beautiful.
When she swings her naginata, it doesn't feel like she's fighting, but more like she's dancing, making people stop and watch involuntarily.
"It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder." - Use this famous saying from "The Art of War" to describe Sanako's sword skills.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
Wherever the blade passes, there is blood and death.
There are many martial arts masters among the Yakuza who have excellent skills or rich combat experience. However, no matter how they attack, Sanako will always kill them first with faster, more accurate and more powerful moves.
The naginata is a heavy weapon born on the battlefield.
The wide attack range and powerful power make it an excellent weapon for "cruelty".
In terms of the number of enemies killed alone... Sanako might have killed the most enemies among all the people present.
Sanako drank sweetly, brandished her sword, and attacked.
The Yakuza were screaming, defeated, and dying.
In terms of strength, Sanako is not as good as top powerhouses like Rakshasa and Qingden... but it is just not as good as these monsters.
Even if his right shoulder is injured, the majestic "Chiba Ghost Town" is not something that these cats and dogs can touch.
The personalities of Sanako and Souji cannot be said to be completely different, they can only be said to be worlds apart.
One is a graceful and elegant flower of the high mountains, and the other is a sunny and cheerful girl next door.
But only in this aspect, they are highly similar - when they hold a real boy, when they engage in a life-and-death battle, they will put away the gentleness of women, showing a strong will like steel, and a devil-like spirit.
Fierce combat power!
"Huh...huh...huh...huh..."
Sanako raised her delicate hands and gently wiped away the sweat hanging on her chin.
The intensity of the battle that left no room for breathing made Sanako feel that the blood in her body was almost boiling. From the top of her head to her knees, her whole body was filled with hot air and she was dripping with sweat. A few strands of black hair stuck to her pretty face that was flushed due to the surge of blood.
, the lovely Yaobi exhaled hot air, burning the dry red lips.
She took the opportunity to look back at the director behind her.
After being entrusted with the important task of taking care of Souji by Aoto, she moved him to a certain wooden pillar and let her rest against the pillar. She picked up her naginata and used her body as a wall to protect him.
Headquarters, don't let any enemy get even close to the headquarters.
Even without Qingteng's order, she would protect the General Secretary to the death.
Souji is her old acquaintance and old friend - this alone is enough reason for Sanako, who values love and righteousness, to fight for Souji!
Sanako thought to herself: The Qingshui clan must have issued some sort of reward, such as a reward of any amount for each head taken.
For this reason, the Yakuzas are like hungry wolves of wealth, scrambling to be the first and fighting bravely without fear of death or injury.
Seeing the "big fat sheep" lying here who had fainted and lost the ability to fight, their eyes lit up one by one, and they attacked one after another.
Fortunately, with Sanako in charge, the general manager has been safe and sound so far.
Sanako's fierce fighting power and the layers of corpses lying at his feet finally dispelled the Yakuza's arrogance.
Suddenly, the number of people who dared to challenge Sanako decreased.
After resting, Sanako calmed her breathing and stabilized her naginata again.
But at this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall figure that was extremely familiar to her.
"Tachibana-kun...!"
Seeing Qingden, who went to attack Nue, returned safely, a faint joy suddenly flashed across Sanazi's pretty face.
However... just a moment later, the happy expression on her face suddenly froze.
Because she saw Qingdeng confronting a young man—a young man whose face she immediately felt a dull pain in his right shoulder!
"Rakshasa...?! How could...!"
Although she only had one confrontation with Rakshasa, and the only confrontation lasted very short, this brief confrontation had left a deep impression on her...or perhaps a psychological shadow.
Somehow, she subconsciously wanted to go to support Qingdeng, but she urgently remembered that she still needed to protect the general secretary and couldn't leave.
"Ahhhhhh! Smelly woman! Go to hell!"
Suddenly, another blind enemy ran straight towards her.
…
…
Faced with Qingdeng's invitation to fight, Rakshasa remained calm.
He swept his eyes and cast an interested look at Qingden.
"Ju Qingden, I thought you would bring more people here."
"Fortunately, I have been leading my troops to ambush nearby and use silence to stop the enemy. I was just wondering if you might have any backup plans."
"In the end, you really only brought so many people, which makes me a little disappointed."
Rakshasa's tone was laced with unabashed sarcasm.
After hearing this, Qingden finally understood the full picture of Rakshasa's battle plan.
Let Eiichi Shimizu lead a force and attack first.
As for Rakshasa himself, he led another force and lurked near the factory, acting as a general reserve force. He could flexibly choose the timing and method of entering support according to changes in the battle situation.
There is a main team responsible for the first attack, and a reserve team responsible for supporting at any time... It is not a special, but very sound combat policy.
"...If conditions permit, I can pull out at least a hundred troops."
Qingdeng said in a deep voice.
"But... time is not on our side."
Qingdeng's backstage is Tianzhang Academy.
Based on Tianzhangyuan's connections and status, it is not difficult to recruit hundreds of samurai who are good at fighting and dedicated to their duties.
However, summoning people and horses takes time.
Even for someone as noble as Tianzhang Yuan, it would take at least two days to assemble a combat force of more than a hundred people.
What Qingdeng and the others lack most now is time.
Aoto, Tenzouin, Sanako, Souji, the two sisters, the late Tachibana Takayuki and Onodera... everyone spent countless time and energy to finally find the production factory of Genfusyo.
If the factory is not controlled and the evidence is not secured as soon as possible, the consequences will be endless.
It is very likely that the Rakshasa will demolish the factory and destroy the evidence in order to continue to cover up the truth.
If so, Qingdeng and the others would have lost all their previous efforts and would have to start from scratch.
Therefore, Qingdeng and others cannot wait or delay.
Even though he knew that he had a little manpower, he had to go there as soon as possible after knowing the location of the factory and give it a try.
"Ha, that's right. After all, you can neither afford to delay nor gamble."
Saying that, Rakshasa glanced at Qingden a few more times.
"It seems that Nue was defeated... What a pity... It seems that I have to put in some effort to give Shuten Douji an explanation afterwards."
As Rakshasa spoke, he spread his hands, as if he was letting go.
"Ju Qingden, are you really okay with this?"
"Although Nue failed to kill you, he succeeded in injuring you."
"Although you bandaged it and used a hakama tube to cover the wound, I could still see it at a glance - your right calf was injured. Even if the injury is not serious, it is impossible not to have an impact on your movements."
"Fighting me with a broken body... this is not a wise move."
Faced with Rakshasa's ridicule, Qingden responded with sonorous words:
"You don't have to worry about it."
When Rakshasa heard this, the corners of his mouth extended to both sides, and his smile became more intriguing.
"In that case... let's fight!"
bass!
Rakshasa's right elbow suddenly popped open like a broken bowstring, and there was a "pop" sound that cut through the air.
He jumped over without any help, and used gravity to chop down the knife that was raised above his head.
The cutting speed was so fast that even the bright blade could only see a misty light like mist.
Qingdeng swung his knife from below, the tip of the knife grazing the ground.
In an instant, two rays of silver light were seen flickering, sometimes hitting each other in the air, and sometimes being tightly entangled.
As soon as Qingshui Rong raised the knife in his palm and was about to join the battle, he was stopped by Rakshasa:
"Eiichi! Don't interfere! This is a duel between me and Tachibana Aoden!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Yi quickly steadied his body, then retracted his steps and put down the knife in his hand.
At the same time, Sanako not far away noticed the fighting situation on Qingto's side.
She wanted to step forward to support Qingdeng.
However, she had to protect the unconscious General Secretary and deal with the Yakuza who kept attacking. It was really exhausting for her.
Rakshasa swung his sword into his body, his momentum was like a rainbow.
He maintained an extremely active attacking posture throughout the entire process.
The sharp sword light hit Qingdeng like a violent storm.
The stormy attack and defense are the same for both sides, and a moment of relaxation will cause irreparable fatal injuries.
Metal rubbed against metal, making a sharp noise that was close to tearing the eardrums apart.
The sliding blade was like a black line, going straight to Qingdeng's chest.
Qingden came with a cassock slash, which knocked down the Rakshasa's slash.
In the blink of an eye, he slashed at Qingden again with the Blue Eyes Formation.
The incredibly fast knife speed left Qingdeng with no time to defend himself.
He tilted his body to the right, narrowly avoiding the sound of the blade.
It's a pity...the pace is still a little slow, and the chopped left sleeve hangs down.
Qingdeng Dry Land pulled onions and jumped sideways, dodging a certain distance. While jumping, he raised his sword to the upper end, and the sword struck the back of the Rakshasa's head like a meteor.
This blow is really powerful.
"Lonely Gale", "Gathering God", "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers", "Tiger Arm +1"...a bunch of talents, activate them all!
If the chop is strong, it can definitely be cut from the back of the head to the crotch, splitting the Rakshasa into two halves.
Rakshasa glanced at the sword light that was coming towards him, and his face darkened slightly. He saw that Qingdeng's attack was extraordinary.
However, he did not choose to avoid its sharp edge - instead, he stood firm, lucked out, and attacked head on without fear!
The steel knife struck the air.
The two swords collided sharply, triggering a violent wave of air!
The hair and clothes of Qingden and Rakshasa were blown around and made a hunting sound.
The two swords intersected at a dizzying speed, and then moved apart at a dizzying speed.
As if being bounced away, Qingden and Rakshasa both retreated violently.
Logically speaking, Qingdeng, who has many powerful talents, should be able to gain the upper hand in this "struggle of strength".
However... the facts that were revealed were shocking.
Qingdeng took three full steps back before regaining his balance.
As for Rakshasa... he was about to put his right foot back and return to the "solid as a rock" state.
The two sides exchanged swords and swords for so many rounds, as if they had been fighting for a long time.
But in fact, everything happens at the click of a finger.
Rakshasas who practice Iaido are known for their attack speed.
His sword never follows a specific trajectory and can slash at super high speeds from any direction.
Qingdeng's physical fitness has long transcended the mortal realm, and his speed in wielding his sword and body skills are also not slow.
Therefore, although the two sides fought for several rounds, only 8 seconds passed.
Even the 10 seconds required to copy the talent are not reached.
Since time traveling, Qingdeng has been practicing martial arts hard every day and has never slacked off.
With the blessing of the "Saint of Swords", his swordsmanship talent is 106 times that of ordinary people. In terms of swordsmanship skills, he has definitely reached the top level.
Not to mention physical fitness, Qingteng's body has long been systematically transformed into a "Humanoid Gundam".
Skills and physical fitness are all there.
Even though this is the case, he is still suppressed by Rakshasa!
However, when I think about this being a world of low martial arts, it makes sense again.
In this wonderful world that cannot be measured by the common sense of past lives, the most indispensable thing is monsters that are ridiculously powerful and so powerful that people can't understand them.
In the battle just now, Rakshasa suppressed Qingdeng throughout the whole process.
But the strange thing is...at this moment, Qingdeng didn't feel a trace of annoyance in his heart.
On the contrary, he even felt a strange... excitement.
According to all the information I know so far, Rakshasa does not seem to be the strongest person in the Fa Punishment Party.
Even a Rakshasa is so strong, so how strong are the other masters in the Fa Zhu Party?
What about outside of the law punishing the Party? What about other places in the world?
How many masters are hidden in the cities, towns and countryside?
How strong is Kiryu's boss, who is known as the "Ship-Slaying Swordsman" and the "Liuguang Hachiman"?
How powerful is Ogata, who is recognized as "unparalleled in the world", "executioner Ittosai", and "eternal swordsman"?
Awesome! The world is so big!
At this thought, the corners of Qingdeng's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.
Just as Qingdeng was immersed in emotion, the Rakshasa opposite him seemed to have thought of some good idea, his face beaming with joy.
"Ju Qingden, if we keep fighting like this, there's no point in it anymore."
"Let's do this! I won't take advantage of you. Your leg injury seems to have affected your performance... Then let's change the duel method!"
After saying that, Rakshasa spread his legs, lowered his waist, pressed the scabbard with his left hand, and stroked the handle with his right hand.
"I've heard for a long time that 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden is good at drawing swords."
"What a coincidence - sword drawing is also my best sword skill!"
"In that case, let's have a sword-drawing duel!"
"One blow determines the outcome!"
"Let's see if your sword is faster or my slashing is better!"
Rakshasa paused for a moment, and then changed into a devilish and bewitching tone.
"A duel between Iaido masters...this is not something you can encounter at any time."
"Ju Qingden, don't you want to give it a try?"
"Bet on the pride of an Iaido swordsman and use your proud sword-drawing skills to defeat a powerful enemy head-on who is also good at sword-drawing skills!"
An indescribable color suddenly appeared between Qingdeng's straight eyebrows.
His expression was solemn.
His eyes flickered.
The body is tense.
It's like thinking about something.
However, this is only a matter of a moment.
A short while later, about half a minute after Rakshasa assumed the sword-drawing stance, Qingteng silently opened the sheath of Echizen Tsutade and Roku Shoujin, hung his right arm loosely, and stepped firmly on his legs.
"Very good! Yes! That's it!"
Rakshasa's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and fighting spirit.
"Eiichi, what follows is a life-and-death duel between me and Tachibana Aoden! Don't interfere, and don't allow any outsiders to intervene. If anyone else dares to disturb us, you will stop them for me."
"yes."
Qing Shuirong took two steps back and stood respectfully aside.
The two Iaido swordsmen put their hands on the hilts of their swords and opened their stances!
The previous battle at Platycodon Mountain made Qingden deeply aware of what a formidable and formidable enemy Rakshasa was.
The famous "genius swordswoman" Sanako Chiba - was killed instantly with a single sword.
Amakura Xiao, who had 30 times the ninjutsu talent of ordinary people and rich combat experience - was also killed with a single sword.
Although compared to when he made a big fuss at Platycodon Mountain, Qingto has copied new powerful talents (Nine Bulls and Two Tigers), and at the same time, old talents such as "Steel Bone" and "Strong Muscle" have also been upgraded.
But even so, the "8 Seconds Fierce Fight" just now has proven that even if Qingden's natural ability is so enhanced, he is still no match for Rakshasa!
Under such circumstances, if the fierce fighting continues... the consequences will be disastrous.
In this way, using his best and strongest moves became Qingdeng's only hope for a comeback!
Therefore, Qingdeng chose to accept Rakshasa's "invitation".
Start an upright sword-drawing duel with him!
When the tension was high, the two of them assumed very similar postures.
Spread your feet apart, lower your waist, relax your arms, plant your heels firmly, and face each other sideways.
The slightly curved body is like a taut spring, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Obviously, their posture hides amazing elasticity and explosive power.
The air between the two became increasingly dull, as if it had solidified into a viscous liquid. Even if a white whale swam by, it would not make a single ripple.
In the midst of this tension, it felt like the sounds were gradually moving away from their surroundings, as if only this space was cut off from the world.
"..."
"..."
moment.
What happened next happened in an instant!
Accompanied by a sound that seemed to crack the ground, the two rushed towards each other! At the same time, they slashed the white blades in their hands towards each other's head!
choke!
choke!
At this moment, blue-white fire burst out in the air! The shrill sound of sharp metals colliding with each other resounded in all directions!
Also at this moment...the winner has been decided.
At the moment when the two swords collided, Qing Deng had a strange feeling of "trying his best but hitting the cotton".
Upon closer inspection - Rakshasa actually drew the sword with his backhand!
He drew the knife at an extremely tricky angle, and the blade slashed across the side of Qingdeng's blade from bottom to top, and countless sparks burst out.
Under the tug of the blade, Rakshasa ducked to Qingdeng's side.
But Qingdeng's body leaned half a step forward due to inertia!
The sides of Aomori's body and the side of Echizen Suzu's sword, Tsunayuki Mamoru, were completely exposed to the Rakshasa's sword!
Seeing this situation, even people who don't know anything about martial arts can intuitively realize that Qingdeng is in danger!
Knowing that he had lost the opportunity, Qingdeng quickly adjusted his posture.
However... it's too late!
At the same time that the two figures overlapped, Rakshasa pulled out the knife and raised it to the highest point in the air.
Soon after that, he stretched out his left hand, grasped the bottom of the handle of the knife with his left palm, turned his wrists, and the blade of the knife turned half a circle, and the tip of the knife that was originally downward turned upward - the knife was held backwards.
Change to an upright grip!
Buzz!
The blade slashed down with the force of a hanging river! It hit the blade of Echizen Tsuneki Shou without hesitation!
The blade and back of the knife can withstand a lot of force vertically, but are much more vulnerable to the forces that hit the knife surface from the side.
Improper body posture prevented Qingdeng from adjusting the direction of the blade in time.
The strike that seemed to be about to chop the sky hit the brittle and fragile blade... If the collision of pebbles and stones, the outcome was already doomed.
Keng!
The sword blade of Echizen Tsune Riki Moru Kaneshige was broken in the middle and flew into the air!
Rakshasa turned his sword back, and swung the blade towards Qingdeng's face with a "swish" sound!
Qingdeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he reflexively raised the broken knife in his hand, reluctantly deflecting the Rakshasa's attack.
As soon as the blow fell, another blow came up!
Silver flashes of light swept toward Qingdeng's body again.
Rakshasa's attack speed is really too fast!
Qingdeng was unable to adjust his body posture due to the continuous slashing attacks.
If the body posture is improper, the defensive posture will inevitably be improper.
So... this time, he failed to successfully deflect Rakshasa's offensive...
clang!
Rakshasa's sword hit Qingdeng's sword squarely.
Qingdeng's knife was pushed away.
In the blink of an eye, Rakshasa stepped forward - his current body posture and the direction of the blade made it difficult to deliver an effective slash.
However, as we all know - the attack method of the knife is not only slashing.
bump!
Rakshasa hit Qingdeng hard on the head with the bottom of the hilt.
Qingden saw the oval-shaped hard bottom of the handle rushing towards him, and then, countless gold stars began to fly in front of his eyes, and a shattering pain spread throughout his body.
Qingdeng endured the severe pain, took several steps back, and opened his mouth.
Not only is Rakshasa's attack speed terrifying, his strength is also amazing!
The blow he just struck... If Qingdeng's whole body bones hadn't become extra hard and strong under the reinforcement of "Steel Bone +2", I'm afraid his head would have been cracked like an egg.
"Ju Qingden, your skull is really hard."
"The blow I just gave was a blow that was enough to blow an average person's head off."
"But...even though you didn't die suddenly on the spot, you shouldn't be able to stand up, right?"
