Chapter 967 The Battle of Edo Cage is over! [4400]
After the leopard and leopard's thoughts, it was finally decided to change the "Demon King without Self" to "Intentional Ghost Child"; the evolved "Demon God without Self" to "Intentional Ghost Child", I hope you know!
*******
*******
Qingdeng almost forgot when the last time he heard the system sound.
As his strength continues to grow, fewer and fewer people can survive 10 seconds under his knife.
New talent...and an extremely rare eternal talent!
It is both unexpected and reasonable.
The boy Shuitun has the ability to "freely enter the 'selfless realm'", so it is only natural that he possesses this level of talent.
What surprised Qingdeng was that the talent of Shuitun boy was able to merge with the "Innate Selfless Holy Body + 7".
Thinking about it carefully, this may be because these two talents belong to the same type, they are "upper" and "lower" in the same field. Their relationship is the same as "sword talent" and "sword master", so they can be together.
melt.
In any case, it is a great honor to be able to copy this talent.
There is no doubt that with the blessing of this talent, Qingdeng's strength can achieve a leap forward!
What a pity, he is so tired that he can't even lift a finger.
The intense burnout left him with no effort to be happy.
Since the system sounds, it means that in the system's perception, the outcome of this battle has been decided.
In fact, it is indeed the case.
Tick...tick...tick...tick...tick...tick...
Drops of blood that gurgled out of the water shuituan boy's wounds flowed outward, to Vairocana's blade, then to Qingdeng's hands, and then to Qingdeng's feet.
The blade feels very solid in the hand.
The boy Shuitun's chest was stabbed in the same way.
Qingdeng was very sure that his knife pierced the left lung, left sternum and major artery of Shuitun's body, would definitely kill him!
The chest is one of the key points of the human body.
The injury here is also a penetrating injury of "front chest and back", and there is no reason to survive!
No matter how powerful the boy Shuitun is, he cannot escape the natural theorem of birth, old age, sickness and death!
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt swelling and painful in his lungs - until this moment, he realized that he had held his breath for a long time.
He heard a "pu" sound, and he vomited all the turbid air in his lungs, and then swallowed fresh air in big mouthfuls.
While regulating his breathing, he turned the handle of the knife in his hand vigorously, tightened the muscles and sternum of the blade, and then slowly pulled the knife back to his hand.
In an instant, just as the blade left the body, Shuitun's wound was like a bathtub that opened the drain, and a large stream of blood gushed out!
Although the boy Shuitun subconsciously stepped on his heels, it was still useless.
Soon, his body began to shake, like a paper man in the wind.
Finally... with a muffled sound of "bang", he fell to the ground dejectedly, his head hanging on his chest, as if he was examining the wound on his chest...
...
...
(I'm...?)
The boy Shuitun was unable to raise his head, so he could only turn his eyes stiffly and scan the surroundings.
The stage is still there, the audience is still there.
Qing Deng's black clothes are still there, and the white clothes are still there.
But... the cheers stopped and the applause stopped.
It was terrible quiet around.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a group of people changing in the audience around the stage.
After carefully looking at it, he found that there were many familiar faces among these "new audiences".
There were traitorous officials who were beheaded by him, including the acting official who destroyed his family and was eventually dismembered...
There are innocent people who are implicated by him and become consumables for "achieve great cause"...
They had no expression or a sound, and they didn't even blink their eyes. They looked like puppets, staring at him straight...
(How...? Do you... want to demand your life from me...?)
He pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a self-deprecating sneer.
(I can't move anymore... Whether it's insulting... whether it's life-seeking... if you have anything you want to do to me... just take advantage of the moment...)
(But... I'm ugly before... I never regret what I did...)
(If you want to force me to repent... then you will only waste your efforts...)
Just like giving up on oneself, he silently withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the "audience" around him.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar face from the corner of his eyes.
He immediately squinted his eyes and stared at the other person.
(Father……!)
The long-deceased father stood closest to him.
However... my father, like everyone else, had no expression or made a sound, just stared at him with a blank look.
(Father...you...)
The father's expression and reaction made the boy Shuitun feel confused.
He subconsciously wanted to say something and explain something to his father.
But as the words were about to come out, he silently closed his lips.
At this point, he had nothing to say.
At this moment, he felt that he had returned to that helpless night and the cold and dark prison.
I want to hate others, but I don’t know who I want to hate.
I want to kill someone, but I don’t know who to kill.
(I...is not the loyal minister Yuryosuke...)
The moment this thought arose, he and Qingdeng's costumes, the stage under his feet, and the audience around him dissipated and turned into nothingness.
He returned to reality and to the dilapidated Tianshou Pavilion.
At the same moment when he returned to reality, he slowly closed his eyes...
...
...
The boy Shuitun's body tilted to the side and collapsed to the ground boredly without any rest.
Qingdeng looked at the body of the boy Shuitun without any grief or joy.
After confirming that the other party was indeed dead, he silently lowered his head, staring at Vairocana in his palm while recalling the details of the battle just now.
To be honest... He can't remember how he defeated Shuitun Boy just now.
I only remember that at a certain moment, his vision suddenly changed - the "transparent world" is coming again!
Shuitun boy, pillars, beams, tatami, wind, clouds... Everything within your eyes becomes "transparent"!
While seeing through the internal structure, you also see the strange "airflow".
Every thing, whether it is a person or something, there are unknown "airflows" surging inside, but the difference in quantity and size.
Just the moment when the boy Shuitun raised his knife and was about to slash, the "air flow" in his body changed in a special way.
Although he couldn't tell the reason, he instinctively made a decision: the chance to win with one blow is at this moment!
Then, his body moved uncontrollably, and it was like a "magnet sucking" and narrowed the distance at a teleportation speed, piercing the boy Shuitun's chest with a knife.
Recalling this, Qing Deng subconsciously clasped the black knife in his palm, and his facial expression became particularly complicated.
——Here comes again... in this state again...!
Qingdeng is not unfamiliar with this state, after all, he has experienced it several times before.
Even though I know that this state is very powerful, I have no way to control it, so I can only let it appear and disappear from time to time... This kind of powerless feeling is really worrying.
——Forget it..., let's leave this kind of thing to think about it later...
He let out a breath of silence, and the fatigue between his cheeks became stronger.
Not only can you defeat a strong enemy and destroy a great disaster, but you can also replicate the eternal talent "intentional demon child" with a despicable effect.
Judging from personal gains, this is undoubtedly a hearty victory.
However... Qingdeng did not have any pleasure of victory at this time.
He turned his head stiffly and looked out of the Tianshou Pavilion.
With a good vision, he clearly looked around Edo.
Burning flames, scorched smoke, collapsed houses, and dead bodies all over the ground... The "No. 1 Town in the World" in the past has now become such a tragic situation.
Even the towering Edo Castle, which symbolizes the authority of the shogunate, was destroyed in an outrageous way.
More importantly, Tokugawa Ishiki's life is hanging on the line...
Yes, Aoden won, the new selection group won, and the shogunate won.
But...whether paying such a huge price is considered a victory?
...
...
"Surrender quickly! Those who surrender will not kill!"
"Damn it! I can't continue to fight!" (Russian)
"There are still many enemy soldiers there! Go and reinforce!"
"Have the order to retreat not yet?" (in Russian)
"No! The commander can't be found!" (in Russian)
"Don't worry! Get out of here!" (in Russian)
"No! There are enemy soldiers everywhere! There are nowhere to escape!" (Russian)
...
Before breaking into Edo Castle alone, Aoden handed over the command of the cavalry team to Sounosuke Harada.
Although Harada Zuosuke is not a smart wise man, he has always had a very keen fighting intuition.
Perhaps it is precisely because of his empty head that he never is indecisive, acts very decisively, and is never vague!
Facts have proved that Qingdeng entrusted him with the important task of "clearing away the remaining enemies" and was a very correct choice.
At this moment, he was standing on the clock of Kuanyong Temple, observing various battlefields, and issuing precise instructions to advance the front in an orderly manner.
For the soldiers who have selected the new team, the current battle is just boring "trash time".
The exhausted and devastated soldiers could not stop their troops!
The offensive of the Tenth Team and the Iron Cavalry of the Aijin are like a flood! All streets and alleys are washed completely!
Wherever you pass, the enemy soldiers collapsed and seemed to collapse!
Even the enemy soldiers who resisted stubbornly were quickly defeated and could not be of great use.
It is obvious that the overall situation has been decided.
It won't take long to see the remaining enemy soldiers completely annihilated!
Although the situation of the battle was clear, Harada Zuosuke's expression and nerves did not relax.
——Damn it! Haven’t you found “that guy” yet?!
When he thought of this, Harada Zuosuke couldn't help feeling a slump.
Just when he was worried secretly, he suddenly heard a delicate shout:
"Captain Harada!"
He turned his head to look and saw Nakazawa Kotoshi coming to the horse when the deputy captain of the seventh franchise.
Seeing that the visitor was Kotoshi Nakazawa, Harada Zuosuke suddenly cheered up and asked hurriedly:
"Deputy Captain Nakazawa, have you found Kei Kogoro?"
When handing over the battlefield, Qingdeng specifically instructed: Kill Kaekogoro first!
The most valuable targets in the enemy are Shuitun Boy and Kanekoro.
Kusaka Genrui and Takasugi Shinsaku have been killed one after another, and only Katsukoro is the only one who can take the lead in the Changshu vassal.
In other words, as long as you kill Gui Xiaowuro, it will cause irreparable harm to Changzhou! Maybe it will make Changzhou unable to recover!
As early as halfway to Edo, Aoden set a strategic goal for this rescue battle: anyone can let it go, but Shuitun Boy and Kaneko Goro must die!
Because of this, he repeatedly asked Harada Zuosuke and others to find and kill Kei Kogoro.
To this end, Shinosuke Harada specially divided up some of his troops and asked Koto Nakazawa to lead the team to search for Katsukogoro's traces.
Harada Zuosuke hits his expectant eyes.
How regretful... Nakazawa Koto shook his head hard in embarrassment:
"No! I can't find him!"
I hope to hear Zuo Zhisuke hear this, and instantly frowned and gritted my teeth with hatred.
"Damn it! The 'Escaped Kogoro' is really worthy of his reputation!"
...
...
Edo, northern suburbs—
"Run! Run! Run for me! The troops brought by Niang are all cavalry, as long as we escape into the woods, it will be safe!"
Kanekogoro raised his voice and urged the soldiers of the surprise troops to move north.
"Escaped Kogoro" - Although this title is a despicable title that mocks Kogoro Kane, from another perspective, this title is probably a praise for Kogoro Kane.
Another saying of "good at running away" is "good at observing the situation" and "good at winning people's hearts and maintaining order in times of crisis"!
Anyone can fight against the wind, and only when fighting against the wind shows true skills.
After discovering that the new selection group had arrived, Katsukoro made a quick decision and quickly integrated the remaining troops of the surprise team - about 200 people - to retreat northward, bypassed the new selection group's troops and successfully escaped from Edo.
Next, they prepared to retreat to Changzhou along Zhongshan Street.
I have to say that this kind of courage to look at the "sinking cost" on nothing, and to withdraw when it is time to withdraw, and will never look back and forth. It is really true!
Because of their small size, their movement speed is very fast.
In just a moment, the lush woods were approaching.
As long as you dive into this woods, the new group will never find them again.
At this moment, Kaneko Goro suddenly stopped.
“…”
He turned his head with a serious expression and looked at Edo behind him.
In the huge Edo Town, smoke is still permeating and flames are still burning.
He didn't know the current situation of Shuitun Boy and others, nor did he know whether they had successfully killed Tokugawa Ieshiro.
However, somehow, he had a vaguely strong premonition: although they could not win this battle, they did not lose!
“…It’s not over yet.”
While muttering, he withdrew his gaze and plunged into the bushes in front of him.
As his figure was about to be swallowed up by the shade of the trees, a faint voice came out:
“This is just the beginning…!”
...
...
The suppression of the remnants continued until dusk.
The sun falling to the west sprinkles a weak and residual cloud, dyeing the sky into a orange yellow.
Countless crows circling in the air, making repeated annoying cry.
The shouts of killing gradually subsided... Invincible, they can be killed, they can fight or fight. The soldiers slowly put down their weapons and removed their fighting postures, looking confused.
They all understood what was going on now, but the tense nerves made it difficult for them to react in a short period of time.
"it's over……"
Suddenly, I don't know who muttered like this.
In a moment, more and more people whispered the sentence "It's over...".
After a while, the mumbling turned into shouting, and then into cheering!
"it's over!"
"We won!"
"We're guarding Edo!"
“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh—!”
Fists fluttered towards the sky with force!
Although the battle lasted only one day, there was no doubt that it was an extremely long day!
Although it has not yet been determined who is the winner and who is the loser, what is certain is that this extremely fierce battle in Edo Cage, which is destined to be recorded in history, is over!
