——Katsurin Taro?
After discovering that the middle-aged man he saved in time was actually the Katsurin Taro whom he met accidentally on the street at noon, Qingto's expression could not help but change slightly.
In just one day, I met this Katsu Rintaro twice by chance. It was really fate... Although the timing and occasion of this second encounter were a little subtle.
There was no time to look at this old man now - Qingden quickly turned his attention away from Katsu Rintaro and then with a shake of his hand, Kamino's sword was moved away with a "clang" sound.
Kamino had already turned around from the shock of "there was an extra person at the window".
With a sullen face, he jumped back a few steps to widen the distance between him and Qingdeng.
Taking advantage of the gap when Kamino took the initiative to retreat, Aomori jumped down from the window edge and jumped between Kamino and Katsurin Taro.
"Finally climbed up..." Harada hummed and climbed in from another window next to him.
Saito, Nagakura, and Toudo also jumped along the window into the corridor one after another, and stood behind Aoto.
Suddenly a group of people with unknown identities appeared, and the members of the anti-barbarian group were all taken aback.
They had already crossed the third collapsed "wall" and were about to chase down the "traitors" who had shrunk to the end of the corridor. For the sake of caution, they all stopped and then followed Kamino's example and took a few steps back. , keep a safe distance from Qingdeng and the others.
Kamino first noticed the seal of the execution office that Qingto tied around his right waist, and the jushou with red tassels on the handle, and recognized these people as official servants of the execution establishment.
Then, he felt that Qingdeng's face looked familiar.
After briefly looking at Qingdeng's face for a while, Kamino's expression darkened:
"Tachibana Aoden...?"
Kamino may never forget the face that caused the humiliation and humiliation of their anti-barbarian group forever.
The man in front of him actually recognized him - Qingdeng didn't show any surprise at all.
After all, he is now considered half a celebrity in Edo, and many townspeople recognize him when he walks on the street.
But what he heard next made Qingden raise his eyebrows.
He heard anxious footsteps and shouts coming from behind Kamino:
"Mr. Kamino! Mr. Kamino!"
A young samurai squeezed through the crowd and ran to the back of Kamino.
——Kamino?
Qingden focused his attention on Kamino.
The young samurai ran up behind Kamino out of breath. When he was about to say something to Kamino, he suddenly noticed that Qingto and the others were currently "confronting each other" with Kamino. Their expressions were stagnant, and they opened their mouths. The look of "the words on the lips can no longer come out".
Although he became hesitant to speak, he finally bit the bullet and said to Kamino in frustration:
"Mr. Kamino...here comes an official from the office."
"They all wear chainmail, cage hand and other armor, and they are all very skilled."
"We...can't stop them..."
"...You guys are really interesting." Kamino said expressionlessly, without sadness or joy, "The enemies all came to kill me, so they came to inform me that there are enemies coming."
After hearing this, the young warrior lowered his head in shame.
In fact, we cannot blame the "surrounding team" responsible for surrounding the Tibetan Book Transfer Center for not doing their duty.
When Qingdeng and others appeared, they all bravely rushed forward to fight with their swords in hand.
They just misjudged Qingdeng's equipment and strength level. They thought they could quickly eliminate this group of invading enemies with their numerical advantage.
In less than 2 minutes, after a bloody battle, only half of the "encirclement team" that originally numbered more than 30 people was left.
It was only at this time that they discovered that Qingto and others were not someone they could easily deal with, and they decided to report the matter to Kamino and request reinforcements.
But it was too late.
The net surrounding Qingdeng and others became extremely thin due to the decrease in the number of people.
Having lost their numerical advantage and also lost their morale, the "surrounding team" no longer posed much of a threat to them. Having made this judgment, Qingdeng simply decided to forcefully break through their blockade, get rid of their interception, and rush into the present. On the top floor there are still shouts of killing from the Fan Shu Tiao Institute.
In order to save time on climbing the stairs, Qingdeng and the others climbed directly. The height of each floor of the Fanshu Diao Institute is less than 2.5 meters, and there are window sills and other objects for grabbing and standing on, so it is not difficult to climb. .
In this way, Aoto quickly climbed to the top of the floor, appeared from the window in time, and saved Katsurin Taro who was almost killed.
"Okay." Kamino said coldly to the young samurai, "Get out of here."
"...Kamino..." Qingden chewed the surname "Kamino" gently, "Are you the leader of the anti-barbarian group: Kamino Tatsugoro?"
The name of the leader of the anti-barbarian group is Kamino Tatsugoro - this is one of the few pieces of information that is only known to be related to the execution of the execution.
"That's right." Kamino admitted openly, "This should be considered the first official meeting between the two of us, Tachibana Aoden."
Kamino bit the pronunciation of Qingden's name very hard.
"You guys... really love to go against us."
"Two months ago, it was you who caused us to suffer unprecedented humiliation."
"And now, you suddenly appear in front of us and hinder us."
"Are you saying the opposite?" Qingdeng said lightly, "Is it because your true love is against me?"
"It was you who sent people to assassinate me over and over again, using the ridiculous excuse of 'having worked in the American Embassy for a period of time and therefore being a criminal traitor to the country.'"
"A fire burned down my home."
"Everything I did to you before was purely for self-protection."
"Hmph." Kamino snorted coldly, "You are quite eloquent."
"That's fine!"
Kamino's expression gradually turned ferocious.
"It doesn't matter if you showed up suddenly, I'll kill this hateful guy like you tonight!"
"Sawai, Yushima..."
Kamino called out several names.
"Follow me! Kill them!"
Kamino holds the sword in his hand and takes the lead!
The corridor, which had finally become quieter, suddenly became noisy again.
Kamino's goal is quite clear - he rushes straight towards Qingden!
He quickly switched the sword in his hand to the upper stance, and using the inertia of his forward thrust, he slashed the sword towards Qingdeng's head as if he was going to instantly cut the opponent into pieces.
When Kamino rushed towards him, Qingden's eyes narrowed, he spread his legs, held the knife in both hands, and raised the Dingguishen horizontally to his head to form a horizontal line.
clang!
Blue-white fire burst into the air, and there was a shrill sound of sharp metal colliding with each other.
Kamino's saber and Aomori's Dingkishin collided heavily.
Saito, who was standing behind and to the left of Aoto, stepped forward to support Aoto.
But Kamino’s companions are not just for show.
Kamino's henchman, the one-armed samurai, shouted loudly and raised his sword to kill Saito, blocking Saito.
On the other side, Nagakura and others also faced the same situation. They were all held back by the members of the anti-barbarian group who came up with Kamino.
It can be seen that the opponent this time is much stronger than the members of the "surrounding team" that Qingdeng and the others had just dealt with.
Shenye should have assigned a group of stronger people to attack the Fanshu Adjustment Center.
Although this corridor is not narrow, it is certainly not wide and cannot accommodate too many people fighting here.
Harada, who wielded the spear, was now in a blind state.
This kind of not-empty venue prevented his ability from being fully utilized.
Aoto, who noticed the limited width of the battlefield, shouted to Harada, who was currently unable to exert his full strength, and Toudou, who still lacked actual combat experience:
"Harada! Todo! Protect the people at Fanshu Tiaosuo and retreat to the back of the corridor!"
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Harada reacted quickly. After hearing Qingto's order, he responded "Okay" almost without thinking, then put the spear in his hand behind his back and freed up his left hand to pull He picked up Katsurin Taro behind him.
"Hey, uncle, don't be stupid. Retreat to the rear. It's a little dangerous to stay here."
It seems that Katsurin Taro's mind has not yet escaped from the shock of the rest of his life after the disaster. He can only see his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he stared at Qingden and others.
Toudo held the knife and froze on the spot. He looked at Aoto, and then looked at Harada who had started to retreat in accordance with Aoto's order. He had a hesitant look on his face - he seemed to want to rush forward. Go and help Qingdeng and the others.
Harada noticed that Toudo did not retreat with him.
"...Toudo, stop standing there stupidly."
Harada, who always had a naive smile on his face, said to Toudo expressionlessly.
"You are Mr. Tachibana's Okahiki now, right? Follow your orders."
Harada's words finally made Toudou make up his mind.
After another moment of hesitation, Toudo finally no longer froze in place. Together with Harada, he protected the people from the Fanshu Adjustment Institute and retreated to the end of the corridor.
Soon, the facts proved that Aonto was right to leave only himself, Nagakura, and Saito to fight Kamino and others head-on.
The width of the corridor is just enough to accommodate Qingden and the other three of them in a more comfortable space to wield their swords.
After the blow missed, Kamino quickly took a step back, and then switched the sword stance to a mid-range stance with a swift but elegant movement.
Seeing Kamino's elegant sword-holding movements, Saito, who was being held back by the one-armed samurai, warned Aonto in a deep voice:
"Tachibana, this person uses Kagami Akechi-ryu."
Kashin Akechi-ryu——Hearing this term, Qingden’s eyes narrowed slightly.
——The name is well-deserved... It is indeed a genre with quite elegant movements...
This is the first time Aomori has faced off against a swordsman using Kagami Akechi-ryu.
There are currently three major swordsmanship schools in Japan: Hokushin Itto-ryu, Shinto Mu-Nen-ryu, and Kashin Akechi-ryu, each with its own characteristics.
Beichen's Yidao style is mainly about "skill", Shinto's Wu Nian style is about "strength", and Jingxin's wise style is about "position".
Keshin Akechi-ryu pursues the "position" of movements, that is, posture and form, and is a style in which movements are quite elegant.
But this does not mean that the Kagami Akechi stream is just a useless showmanship. If it was a useless showmanship, it would not be among the three major swordsmanship schools in Japan.
Jing Xin Zhiliu pays equal attention to artistry and practicality. It relies on its strong performance to gain fame little by little.
Nagakura and Saito, who were standing on the left and right of Aoto, were unable to support Aoto for the time being.
The people on the anti-barbarian group are not fools. They also know that this kind of open space cannot be swarmed, so Kamino just called out the names of a few people and led only this small number of elites to attack.
The few people who were named by Kamye and followed Kamye to attack were all quite powerful.
The one-armed samurai who blocked Saito was not as strong as Saito to the naked eye, but it was not a problem to hold him back.
And Nagakura is currently engaged in a fierce battle with a strong man.
In other words, Qingden was now facing the same situation as the "Snowy Night Battle" two months ago - his companions were all held back, and he had to fight against the enemy general alone.
However, due to his relevant experience and the fact that he has been experiencing various events that test the human heart since time travel, Qingdeng's current state of mind has been greatly tempered... So in the face of the current situation, he must He didn't feel panicked or cowered in the one-on-one situation with Kamino.
Kamino's strength was far superior to Aomori who had just learned swordsmanship for a few months. Through the knife Kamino had just struck at his head, Aomori had already sensed that Kamino's strength was far above him.
Therefore - Qingdeng's "lonely courage" has been activated as early as just now!
My heart was beating fast and my adrenaline was soaring.
Ayoto calmly leaned sideways and stretched out his left shoulder, and stood in a sword-holding position on the lower right side, facing off against Kamino without moving.
It was Kamino who was the first to break the deadlock.
He saw the distance between him and Qingteng, and thrust the knife into Qingteng's throat in one go. His movements were full of Jingxin Akechi's style - elegant and at the same time full of murderous intent.
The "Eagle Eye" with "enhanced dynamic vision" and the "See Through" with "stronger sense of space" make Qingden quite good at dodging now.
Qingden took half a step back, calmly dodged Kamino's blow, and swung his sword to slash at Kamino's neck, who had just stood still.
Qingteng's blow was also full of murderous intent. If Kamino hadn't raised the blade in time to block Qingteng's blow, his head would have definitely moved.
Probably because he discovered that Qingteng's strength was far stronger than he thought, Kamino's pupils shrank slightly, then he shouted low and pushed Qingteng's Dingguishen away.
He took half a step back, adjusted his posture, changed the middle section to the upper section, and slashed towards Qingdeng's head from the top.
Kamino kept in mind the information provided by the young samurai just now - Aomori and the others were wearing chainmail, so Kamino listed Aomori's head, neck, etc. as his main attack direction.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the knife that was slashing from top to bottom. Not to be outdone, Qingden quickly adjusted his stance to the lower position, with the blade facing upwards, and slashed the knife upward from bottom to top.
The two blades collided directly above Qingdeng's head, causing little sparks to appear.
Qingden felt a little sorry for his new sword - after this battle, his Dingguishen should be sent for repair.
This can be regarded as the fate of the knife.
The fate of a knife is to repeat the process of "cutting it broken, sending it for repair, cutting it again, and sending it for repair again".
The armor on Aoden plays a big role, because there are too few positions for Kamino to launch effective attacks. It is useless to cut Aoden's upper body, forearms, etc., so Kamino's movements are a bit of a trap, with many powerful moves. Can't even use it.
However, despite the "lonely" strength bonus and the protection of his body armor, in general Qingden still cannot really compete with Shenye. He and Shenye are currently only 4 or 6 at best.
However - even though he was clearly at a disadvantage, Qingden fought particularly fiercely.
Natural Rishin-ryu is a fierce style that emphasizes attack. Only by attacking violently can the true power of Natural Rishin-ryu be unleashed.
Therefore, in order to maximize the advantages of natural Rishin-ryu, Aoden galloped forward like a raging wave, quickly slashing the ghosts and gods, and continuously launched fierce attacks on Kamino with one sword, one sword, and another sword.
His Dingguishen and Kamino's sabers pulled out two rays of light, which collided with each other again and again on the wooden corridor. The sparks that kept flying out repeatedly illuminated the faces of Qingden and Kamino.
The two flashing sword lights... In comparison, the night wind that constantly leaked in from the nearby window seemed a bit slow.
Kamino didn't recognize the sword technique Qingto used, but he could tell that the sword technique Qingto used was a style that focused on attack.
Allowing Qingdeng to continue attacking like this will allow Qingdeng to gradually master the fighting rhythm that makes him most comfortable.
In order to disrupt Qingto's rhythm, Kamino began to actively fight back.
A wrong step revealed murderous intent. With a flash of the blade, Kamino saw the gap between Qingden's attacks and slashed diagonally towards Qingden's left thigh.
Qingto's pace slowed down by half a minute, and a 4-centimeter-long gash was pulled out of his left leg by Kamino's blade. Fortunately, the wound was not deep. Although it was painful, it would not have a great impact on Qingno's strength.
Qingden didn't even look at his injured thigh. After adjusting his posture and breathing, he attacked Kamino again.
Although judging from the battle situation, Kamino had the upper hand, there was no look of relaxation or excitement on his face.
——Watch me kill you in one go!
When the battle just started, there was such a meaning in Kamino's expression.
However, as the battle with Qingden continued, his eyes gradually became filled with shock.
In the past two months, Kamino had carefully studied this opponent who had caused great losses to their group.
He seriously questioned the survivors of the "Snowy Night War" to find out Qingdeng's strength.
According to his investigation, Aoto, who could only barely win against Suehiro Moriyoshi, should be far inferior to him!
But why is this Tachibana Qingden able to fight him back and forth and only have a slight disadvantage? !
Although Qingneng was able to fight him to the fourth or sixth level due to his armor, the strength displayed by Qingneng still far exceeded Kamino's expectations.
It is normal for Kamino to be shocked by Qingden's current strength. After all, who would have thought that Qingden's growth in strength cannot be treated as a normal person?
"Sword's Talent" and "Ghost's Heart" allow Qingden's strength to increase significantly every day.
In the past two months, the new talents such as "Strong Muscles", "Cat Turn", and "Steel Bones" have also become Qingdeng's new help.
Compared with himself two months ago, Qingdeng's growth in strength can almost be described as "reborn".
However, in essence - compared to Aomori's current strength, the "speed of progress" he is showing now shocks Kamino even more.
——This guy is particularly good at using footwork to confuse the enemy...
——Then... I have to put more pressure on this guy's lower body and suppress his footwork...
Qingden lowered his center of gravity and lowered the sword body at the same time.
[Sword Talent], which increases swordsmanship talent 50 times that of ordinary people, and Ghost Heart, which increases knowledge and martial arts understanding, are activated!
"Ghost Heart" lived up to Qingdeng's expectations.
After copying the "Oni's Heart" from Hijikata Toshizo, after many practical operations, Aonto discovered that the effects of this "Oni's Heart" and "Sword's Talent" can be superimposed on each other!
After copying the "Ghost Heart", Qingden clearly felt that his sword training speed was faster.
When competing with others, "Ghost Heart" can also help him understand and master the enemy's tactics, combat skills and counterattack methods more quickly!
After Aomori lowered the blade of the sword and his body's center of gravity, and targeted Kamino's footwork, Kamino clearly felt that his movements were no longer so good.
Kamino took a half-step to the left with his left foot.
Qingden's white blade was swung rapidly across the floor as if it was pulled by invisible threads.
As soon as Kamino's feet stopped, Qingto's Dingguishen stayed exactly at the position where he moved.
Aoto's pressing blade forced Kamino to take half a step back with his right foot, preparing to slightly open the distance between him and Aoto, but the blade of Dingkishen once again followed his pace and swung towards him.
In other words, Qingden is becoming more and more adaptable to Kamino's attack rhythm, and has begun to keep up with Kamino's footwork, forcing Kamino's movements to become awkward.
This guy was able to make such significant progress in such a short time in battle!
It was difficult for Kamino to face this fact, his eyes were as wide as bells.
He couldn't believe it...
He knows that there are super geniuses in this world who are extremely talented and can make rapid progress while fighting enemies.
But he couldn't believe that the sworn enemy of their group was actually such a dragon among men...
The violent fluctuations in emotions gradually cast a layer of impetuousness on Kamino's movements.
He gritted his teeth and launched a frantic attack on Qingdeng. Every hit contained a fierce murderous aura of "go to hell."
Kamino shouldn't wield his sword with emotion.
Swinging the knife with emotion...will only give your opponent an opportunity to take advantage of you!
Shenye stepped forward and slashed Qingden's neck.
The knife swung out with anxiety... the angle was so slightly skewed!
Seeing this great opportunity, Qingdeng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly thrust Ding Guishen from bottom to top, the sword's power was unstoppable!
This swift and violent blow broke apart Kamino's knife that was slashing from top to bottom at a crooked angle, and then slashed straight towards Kamino's face with unabated force!
Kamino's pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly turned his head to the side.
Phew...
The sound of a small piece of flesh being cut was heard.
As if being bounced away, the two quickly staggered away.
Tick tock, tick tock...
A few drops of blood slid down Kamino's cheek, to his chin, and then dripped from his chin to the ground.
Kamino had just dodged in time and successfully avoided Qingdeng's fatal blow, only for Ding Guishen's blade to scrape his forehead, leaving a small wound 2 centimeters long.
There were no serious injuries...but Kamino looked as if he had been beheaded.
He stared at Qingden with his eyes widened.
His expression was dazed at first, and then the dazed expression quickly turned into anger, hatred and... a touch of fear.
At this time, Nagakura defeated the strong man who had been fighting with him just now.
With his violent sword skills, he chopped the strong man's head into pieces with one blow, and then hurriedly ran towards Qingdeng, wanting to help Qingdeng, but was stopped by a newly emerged member of the anti-barbarian group.
The anti-barbarian group has many members, and they can start a wheel battle with Qingdeng and others.
But now they have no chance and time to use wheel warfare.
A dwarf rushed out of the darkness behind Shenye in a hurry:
"Mr. Kami, Mr. Kamino! No, it's not good! The army from the execution center is here! There are so many people! There are so many people!"
"Tsk!" Kamino's expression suddenly changed.
"Is it finally here..." Qingden murmured softly.
He was actually injured by Qingden... Jinye really wanted to kill this hateful guy right now.
But his sanity has not completely collapsed.
The large troops from the execution center are here... Kamino can still tell which things are the most urgent now.
"Sawai! You lead the people to stay and break up the rear!"
"The others evacuate with me!"
After the shouts fell, Kamino took the initiative to withdraw from the confrontation with Qingto and led the large troops to withdraw from this corridor.
Ten team members stayed to intercept Qingdeng and others.

Compared to group battles, I'm really better at writing one-on-one battles.
Group battles are so difficult to write. Because there is no such kind of battle in reality where one person fights ten, so it is difficult to make up.
