Heshang Yanzhai's sword seemed to cut Qingdeng into powder!
The sharp edge has not yet arrived, but Qingdeng already feels pain on his face.
The sharp, knife-like wind blew against his face, causing the down on his cheeks to stand up. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, filtering the wind with his long eyelashes.
The wind pressure alone is so powerful... It is not difficult to imagine how much damage this blow would cause if it were a solid blow!
There is no doubt that this is Kawakami Hikosai's world-famous Genzai-ryu Batojutsu!
His knife was extremely fast, surprisingly fast!
He had already pulled out the knife, but the "clang" sound of drawing out the knife came belatedly.
See the blade first, then hear the sound of the sword... The last time Qingden met an Iai swordsman of this level, it was that Rakshasa!
Even though he had the talent "Speed +6", Qingden almost didn't react.
Of course, it's just a "close call".
In addition to his talent, Qingden also has "combat intuition" developed through hundreds of battles!
The moment the opponent drew the knife, his body had already started to act one step ahead of his brain.
He seemed to be suppressing the swift sword from above, sinking his strength into his waist, planting his feet firmly, and then chopped down the sword with all his strength!
In an instant, the two swords struck each other in the air!
clang--!!!
Accompanied by the shrill sound of sharp metals colliding with each other, intense orange sparks burst out in mid-air!
The place where the two knives meet is like an electric welding gun, with sparks constantly spraying out.
This confrontation started suddenly and ended hastily.
In the next breath, the two of them seemed to be blown away by an invisible shock wave. They both retreated quickly, their feet dragging deep and long marks on the floor.
"Huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh..."
Kawagami Hikosai maintained his posture, kneeling on one knee with his left leg, breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced a long-distance run.
Qingden stood upright, his hands and Vairocana hanging in his palms naturally.
He squinted his eyes and glanced at his right arm - his right arm still had a sore and numb feeling as if he had been beaten to numbness.
A sharp blow!
It took Qingdeng 8 successes to block the sword!
It was hard to imagine that this was a slash from the guy who had always been at a disadvantage in the previous strength duel.
It seemed incredible at first glance, but when Kawagami Hikosai drew his sword, Aomori saw through it at a glance.
To put it simply, Kawakami Hikosai's "Gensai-ryu Batojutsu" utilizes the power of "running".
His "running in circles" just now was not only to confuse Qingdeng and find flaws, but also to accumulate energy for the next sword drawing technique.
Speed is Kawakami Hikosai's biggest advantage.
When he runs with all his strength, he can even create a realistic afterimage... It is not difficult to imagine how terrifying potential energy he carries in his body at such a speed.
For example: a stationary truck is not scary, but a truck that reaches a speed of 200 kilometers per hour is a moving nightmare!
After your running speed reaches the maximum, you can use the method of kicking on the ground to instantly add weight and speed to the sword when unsheathing it, and then use the sword to kill the enemy in one go!
In addition, he made effective use of his short stature.
He is already very short, and his sword-drawing technique is to lower his body like a spring, and then draw the sword from bottom to top.
In this way, due to the limited field of vision, it is difficult to predict the correct knife path.
If this move is Kawakami Hikosai's self-created skill, then he is indeed an incredible martial arts genius!
He made full use of his speed advantage and turned it into a unique skill to defeat the enemy!
It has to be said that the principle of his move is quite similar to the secret of "Flowing Light".
It uses the potential energy of running, the centrifugal force when drawing the sword, and its own weight to greatly enhance the power and speed of the slash.
It's a pity... I'm ashamed to say that Qingteng has not completely mastered "Snap" until now.
This is not because of his lack of talent.
If even Qingdeng, who has 279 times the swordsmanship talent of ordinary people, lacks talent, then there is no such thing as a genius in this world.
The reason is not complicated at all - it's just because Qingdeng is too strong!
If you want to use "moment", to put it bluntly, you must grasp the opportunity of "emergency stop".
The emergency stop was too fast and failed to enter the optimal attack range.
The emergency stop was too slow and he ran directly past the enemy.
If you hesitate when you stop suddenly, you won't be able to put all the energy into the knife.
In other words, it is necessary to stop suddenly at an extremely precise timing in order to make a knife that can be called a "secret" sword!
However... Qingdeng's current physical strength is too strong.
"Nine Bulls and Two Tigers +3", "Take the Lead +4", "Bear's Waist +5", "Elephant's Core +9"... The power unleashed by so many talents superimposed together can no longer be expressed in specific terms.
Words to describe.
It is no exaggeration to say that Aoto's instant acceleration is far beyond even Kawakami Hikosai's!
This resulted in a consequence - when Qingdeng was running at full speed, it was difficult for him to stop.
The difficulty of making a bicycle come to an emergency stop and making a tank come to an emergency stop are naturally incomparable.
Once he enters the running mode at full speed, it is difficult for Qingdeng to control his body accurately. He cannot grasp the speed of "emergency stop" at all, let alone the timing of drawing the sword.
Without paying attention, he would throw the enemy behind him, let alone draw his sword to kill him.
This problem still bothers him to this day.
Just as Qingdeng was sighing secretly, Kawagami Yanzhai said quietly:
"...This is the first time I've met someone who can forcefully take over my sword-drawing technique."
Qingden shrugged:
"This only shows that your vision is too low and you have never seen the vastness of the world."
"..."
Although Qingteng's ridicule made Kawakami Hikosai look down, he did not reply.
"I won't fail again."
As Kawagami Hikosai spoke, he assumed his Iai posture again, with a proud posture and straight eyes.
"Next time, I will definitely chop off your head!"
The moment he finished speaking, the severe sword energy escaped from his body!
His body exudes a "don't get close" aura, as if pulling an invisible rope, making it impossible for anyone to step on it!
Regarding the details of Kawagami Hikosai, Qingto has almost grasped it.
To put it simply, the only thing that needs attention on the other person is his iai.
In terms of overall strength alone, Kawagami Hikosai was far from being able to make Ayoto feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
In the previous battle, Qingdeng had suppressed him firmly.
However, even if he is as powerful as Seito, he still has to be cautious about his "Genzai-ryu Batojutsu".
What the other party just said, "Next time, I will definitely chop off your head" was definitely not a bluff.
Iai is inherently explosive and pursues powerful moves to win with one blow.
To give a vivid explanation... Kawakami Hikosai's "Gensai-ryu Battou Technique" is one of those big moves that "can kill enemies by leapfrogging"!
Although Aoto's strength is far stronger than that of Kawakami Hikosai, he also felt a great threat when facing the opponent's Iai posture.
Kawakami Hikosai's reaction speed and movement speed are enough to ensure that he will not miss any fighter opportunities.
At this moment when the opponent has already assumed the Iai posture, if Aonto is careless for a moment, it will have irreversible fatal consequences.
Whether it was Aoto and Kawagami Hikosai who were confronting each other, or Yoshimura Tontaro and others who were watching the battle, they all felt the same fact tacitly at this time - the next moment will be the decisive battle!
Although Kawakami Hikosai's reaction speed and movement speed are very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary slashes to hurt him, Aomori still has a trump card that he has not revealed yet.
The super fast sword drawing technique... I have it too!
Qingdeng breathed out the remaining turbid air in his lungs with a "ha" sound.
Immediately afterwards, he flipped his right wrist, made a chic knife flower, and changed the knife in his palm from an upright grip to an inverted grip.
He planned to have a long-awaited "middle gate confrontation" and use the stream of light to chop off Kawagami Hikosai's head!
However... just as he was about to put the tip of the knife to the mouth of the sheath, he paused as if he remembered something.
After a moment, he silently removed the tip of the knife from the sheath, held the knife in an upright position again, and assumed an ordinary mid-section posture.
"...Are you sure you want to do this?"
Heshang Yanzhai suddenly spoke.
Qingdeng asked back:
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Weren't you just preparing to use a powerful move? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Could it be that you planned to use an ordinary 'mid-section' to counter my 'Genzai-ryu Battōjutsu'?"
Qingdeng smiled slightly.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
"It would be too boring to kill you with a unique skill that I am proud of."
"Always relying on convenient and effective tricks will make people lazy."
"I will take this precious opportunity to take my martial arts to a higher level!"
Heshang Yanzhai frowned:
"...Should I say that you are a martial arts idiot with a simple mind, or an idiot with a pedantic mind?"
"There are obviously better tricks, but I don't use them."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"If you accidentally miss it, you will die."
Qingdeng chuckled a few times: "Hehe".
"From the moment I held the sword, the boundaries between life and death became blurred."
"I just want to fight and keep getting stronger!"
"Otherwise, don't think about it."
Heshang Yanzhai stopped talking.
He narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Qingdeng.
His sharp and deep eyes seemed to be looking into Qingdeng's soul.
"...I don't like others calling me 'Ren Zhan'."
He suddenly brought up a topic that had nothing to do with the conversation just now.
However, Qingdeng did not interrupt him, but just listened quietly.
"I just killed some nasty officials, why am I called a 'human killer'?"
"I have always believed that the only person in history who is qualified to be called a 'human slayer' is the 'Eternal Sword Master' Ogata Issei."
"But now...I have to change my mind."
Speaking of this, Kawagami Yanzhai's facial expression suddenly changed and became particularly solemn.
"Ju Qingden, you are also an incredible person...!"
For Kawakami Hikosai's words that sounded like both praise and ridicule, Qingteng didn't deserve a word.
"Stop talking nonsense."
With a click, he firmly stabilized Vairocana in his palm.
"Let's keep fighting."
"I can't help but want to chop your head off as soon as possible."
It's not enough to say anything speculative.
Seeing that Qingdeng no longer had the desire to talk to him, Heshang Yanzhai stopped talking.
He silently tightened his grip on the saber at his waist, like a carnivorous beast that was ready to pounce on its prey at any time.
The confrontation between the two plunged the whole place into a state of complete silence.
Forced by the tense atmosphere at the scene, Yoshimura Tontaro and others who were watching the battle held their breaths and did not even dare to take a breath.
??????????.??????
Qingdeng doesn’t like others calling him ‘People Kill Qingdeng’.
In modern terms, "人杀" means a murderous maniac, and it is not a complimentary term.
Although countless people have died under his sword, he simply enjoys the process of fighting and does not like killing people.
But... forget it, forget it.
Slasher, executioner, murderer... let others call you whatever you like!
No matter what others call me, in short, what I should do remains the same - hold the sword in my hand with all my heart! Enjoy the battle with all my heart! Become stronger with all my heart!
Injury, disability, life, death, all these messy thoughts that would hinder me were swept into the corners of my mind.
Once you enter the battle, the fulfilling feeling you feel in your palm when holding the sword is the only reality!
I put everything I have into the sword!
Betting on…everything…
Suddenly, Qingdeng saw the vision in front of him undergo...indescribable changes.
First, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
The sound of wind in the sky, the chirping of insects in the distance, the shouts of death below the castle tower... all the sounds disappeared, and even my own breathing could not be heard.
Immediately afterwards, Qingden saw... a strange "air flow" coming out of the opponent in front of him.
Qingden was very familiar with this kind of "air flow".
Qingden had seen this kind of "air flow" in many previous battles.
However, compared with before, this time the "air flow" has become more vivid and concrete.
This "air flow" seems to have a life of its own.
It is up and down, undulating according to a specific rhythm... just like breathing!
In addition, the strangeness that Qingdeng felt was far more than that.
In addition to vision and hearing, his other senses also experienced major or minor changes.
The first thing that bears the brunt is the sense of time.
Time seems to have stopped wherever you can see.
The feeling on the palm of my hand also became very strange.
He felt like he was holding a knife, but also like he was holding nothing at all.
No...that's not right!
That's the right thing to say - he felt like he was merging with Vairocana in his palm!
Qingdeng was immersed in his own strange changes and couldn't extricate himself.
Little did he know that Kawakami Hikosai across from him was widening his eyes in shock.
The moment Qingdeng saw the "air flow", he clearly felt: Qingdeng's temperament had changed again!
If Qingdeng had just changed from "soft white clouds" to "deep dark clouds".
So now he has become... nothing.
That's right.
Just nothing!
Feel nothing.
It's like becoming one with the air!
Obviously he couldn't feel anything, but Kawagami Hikosai instinctively sensed: Qingdeng is very dangerous!
Not far away, Yoshimura Tontaro and others could not intuitively feel the drastic changes in Aoden's body like Kawakami Hikosai, but their eyes saw a scene that shocked them deeply.
When they saw Qingdeng, who was in high spirits just now, he seemed to be a completely different person.
He became dull and his eyes lost focus, like a sleepwalker.
A drop of saliva dripped down the corner of his mouth.
But he seemed to have lost consciousness and did not wipe his mouth, letting the drop of saliva drip to the ground.
His eyes were always fixed on Kawakami Hikosai across from him.
The mid-section posture in his hands also remained unchanged.
——What to do? Should we take the initiative to attack?
The sudden and strange changes in Qingden's body made Kawakami Hikosai hesitate.
He probably never thought of it - at the same moment when he hesitated, Qingden's vision changed again.
He saw the "air flow" on the other party's body trembling unnaturally a few times.
Obviously he didn't even understand the true form of this "air flow", but a strong thought suddenly arose in Qingdeng's heart: move forward and swing the sword!
Driven by this thought, his body was like a puppet on strings, with all his limbs moving uncontrollably!
Take big steps forward.
At the same time, his will was transmitted to the blade in his palm!
Qingdeng's movement speed can no longer be described simply as "fast" or "slow".
In the blink of an eye... really in the blink of an eye, Qingden appeared in front of Kawagami Hikosai!
Looking at Qingdeng who "teleported" to him, Kawakami Hikosai's mind fell into a state of extreme chaos.
At this moment, he only felt that an indescribable and terrifying monster was approaching him with overwhelming force!
The moment he regained consciousness, a bewitching purple light that filled his field of vision had already swept past——
Crack!
Accompanied by a sound like tearing cloth, a big good head rose into the sky - Kawakami Hikosai remained in Iai's posture, without even having time to pull out the knife.
After his head flew to the highest point in the air, it drew a beautiful arc and fell at Qingdeng's feet.
Until the moment when his head moved, he still had those eyes full of disbelief.
There was nothing surprising about Qingdeng's attack.
Just shorten the distance, get close to the enemy, and then kill the enemy with a slash.
It's just a very ordinary knife, nothing fancy.
That's all!
At the same time that Aoto beheaded Hikosai Kawagami, a cold female voice full of mechanical sound came as expected:
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Prophecy +9]
[Talent Introduction: Has a strong ability to sense the dangers that are about to happen around you. The degree of sensing will increase with the severity of the danger. However, this ability will not be triggered for people and objects that are not threatening according to personal subjective judgment. ]
Another "+9" max-level talent.
However, considering Kawakami Hikosai's personal strength, it is not surprising that he has a full-level talent.
He has a strong sense of the approaching dangers around him... Qingto finally understands why Kawakami Hikosai's reaction speed is so fast.
Qingden should be extremely excited to have gained another very practical talent.
However, he couldn't care about these things now.
The moment he chopped off Kawagami Hikosai's head, the strange "air flow" and the indescribable weird state suddenly disappeared like the ebbing tide.
Qingdeng's five senses gradually returned to normal.
The "air flow" cannot be seen by the eye.
The ears can also hear the sounds around them again.
This feeling... is like suddenly rising from the deep sea to the surface. The water pressure surrounding you disappears, your eyes can see things again, and your ears can clearly hear the sounds from the outside world.
Qingden lowered his head and looked at his palms in surprise.
——What’s wrong with me?
How did you kill Kawakami Hikosai just now?
To be honest, he doesn't even know it himself...
He felt as if he had just woken up from sleep.
I seemed to have had a wonderful dream just now.
But he couldn't recall any of the specific details of this sweet dream.
Qingdeng is still immersed in "memories".
Suddenly, the sound of conversation coming from not far away interrupted his thoughts.
"Yoshi, Mr. Yoshimura, what should we do now?"
Someone shivered and asked Yoshimura Torataro:
"What should I do? Is there any need to say it?"
Yoshimura Tontaro said solemnly:
"Of course we will fight to the end! We are all standing here with the determination to die, aren't we?"
Yoshimura Tontaro's words immediately played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military.
The people around him swallowed their saliva and showed a determined expression of looking forward to death.
Immediately afterwards, they clenched the knives in their hands, faced Qingdeng, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Tachibana Aoden, come on!"
Yoshimura Tontaro had a sullen face and raised his knife:
"Don't think we are afraid of you! We regard death as our own!"
Even at this time, they still did not raise their hands to surrender and still wanted to give it a try.
Although their courage is commendable, they also know in their hearts that their struggle is nothing more than trying to block the flow of traffic.
Even Kawagami Hikosai, who had placed high hopes on him, ended up with his body and body missing. With their little three-legged cat skills, even if they exerted the power of "spiritual theory" to the limit, it was impossible to leave Qingdeng's body.
The lower half of the scar.
Qingto raised his eyes, glanced at Yoshimura Tontaro and the others without sadness or joy, and then withdrew his gaze.
He was not in the mood to fight with these people right now.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the memory was not far away, and firmly grasp the wonderful feeling he experienced when he killed Kawakami Hikosai just now!
Fortunately, at this moment, the voices of Souji and Mai Kinoshita came from behind Aonto:
"Tachibana-kun! It's been a long wait!"
"Qingdeng, are you okay?"
The two women came to Qingdeng's left and right sides one after the other.
The speed of the two of them was so fast that the soldiers of the first team were still below the castle tower and had not yet caught up.
Qingdeng glanced at the two girls and immediately ordered:
"General Manager, A Wu, the person in the middle is Yoshimura Tontaro. He will try his best to stay alive, and the rest of you will be free to do whatever you want."
Souji and Mai Kinoshita both nodded, and then stepped forward to attack without hesitation.
Yoshimura Tontaro and others faced the attack without showing any signs of weakness.
Although they tried their best, in the face of the absolute material gap, the "spiritual theory" did not work at all.
Kinoshita Mai kicked Yoshimura Torataro unconscious and captured him alive.
The rest were all executed.
The Souji carried Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was still dripping blood, and walked slowly back to Aoto's side.
"Tangerine-kun, it's all over..."
After saying that, she let out a sigh of relief with a relieved expression on her face.
Qingden nodded slightly, a complex look flashing across his cheeks.
"Well... this battle is finally over..."
After Sannomaru and Ninomaru, even the castle tower was lost.
Gaotori Castle has been completely recovered!
At this point, the "Tenchu Group Rebellion" that lasted for more than half a month has been completely put down!
The thief chief Tontaro Yoshimura was captured, all his accomplices were executed, and the Tenchu Group and the Totsukawa Goshi Corps were completely destroyed.
Big win!
A hearty victory!
Another great achievement from Aomori and the Shinsengumi!
On the night when Heshang Yanzhai was killed and Gaotori City was recaptured, the shouts of "Oh, oh, oh" spread throughout Gaotori City and resounded through the sky.
For a long time.
It was a beautiful victory, and Ayoto, as the general of the Shinsengumi, was certainly happy.
But even though he was happy, he was still worried about the strange state he entered when facing Kawakami Hikosai.
What exactly is that "air flow"?
