Of course Qingdeng won't use any two-sword style.
The reason why he suddenly pulled out his two swords was simply to abolish Akutsu's strategy of "alternating the use of sickles and splitting copper attacks"!
Although Aonto had to "sacrifice" one hand... Akutsu was obviously more affected.
In an instant, Akutsu's eyes opened as wide as his copper.
He subconsciously wanted to take back the coins.
But in terms of strength, Qingdeng, who has been training for more than half a year and has a "bear's waist" by his side, can't beat anyone.
Qingdeng mustered up all his strength, making his neck as thick as his face, his waist ridge was strong, and his tight arm muscles made small peaks bulge in the clothes on his left sleeve and back.
The chain, which was pulled tightly, made a strange sound like it was about to break at any moment.
The copper who is trying to recover it, and the wakizashi who is clinging to the copper... neither of them will let the other go.
The fighting power between Ayoto and Akutsu is in a stalemate, and neither one has a clear upper hand - but for Ayoto, this is enough!
In the blink of an eye, Qingden's figure arrived in front of Akutsu, who had lost most of his combat power due to the lack of Copper's coordinated attack!
call--!
The blade of the knife slashed down, pulling out a silver-white sword light that ran straight through Akutsu's body under the moonlight.
When one end of the locking sickle is controlled by Qingto, Akutsu can only advance but cannot retreat unless he abandons his weapon.
"Tsk...!" Akutsu gritted his teeth and put the sickle back into his right palm——
clang!
Jumping sparks burst out from the colliding blades.
The sickle Akutsu used was not a farm tool specially designed for cutting straw.
The length of the blade is at least 30 centimeters, and the blade is both wide and large... At a glance, you can tell that it is a special weapon specially designed to kill people. If it is used to cut off people's heads, as long as the force is used properly, the cut will be accurate.
"snort……!"
Qingden snorted coldly, turned Akutsu's sickle aside with delicate skills, then adjusted the direction of the blade, and slashed at Akutsu for the second time.
Akutsu's sword skills are pretty good.
Qingteng struck several blows with his sword, but Akutsu took them all accurately with his sickle.
But fighting Qingdeng... is obviously "using one's own shortcomings to attack others' strengths."
Soon after, a white light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and the ghosts and gods that made a sound in the wind swept towards them from bottom to top.
This time, Akutsu's defense was half a step too late.
clang!
Akutsu, who could not successfully digest the huge force transmitted back to his palms along the handle of the knife, staggered back two steps while holding the knocked back sickle.
The outcome has been decided.
Qingden quickly and accurately grasped this precious fighter opportunity that could decide the battle situation in one breath.
The sword shines brightly.
The stabbing attack started from the middle, and with the force of a white rainbow piercing the sun, it swept towards Akutsu, who had the door wide open, and towards his neck.
The momentum looked very strong, but in reality Qingden had restrained a lot of his strength.
Qingteng's plan was to hold the sword tip firmly in front of his throat and restrain Akutsu, but he didn't want to kill him.
The reason for this was not only because there were many things to ask them and they needed to be kept alive, but also because during the battle just now, Akutsu did not think about killing him.
Although Akutsu had just fought fiercely and his attack was quite fierce, Qingden clearly felt that there was no murderous intent wrapped around his scythe.
….
Many attacks deliberately avoided Qingdeng's vital points.
This made Qingdeng even more suspicious of the identity of this group of people.
Is he a lunatic who comes to passersby late at night to test his knife?
Or... people from a certain force that is completely different from the "anti-barbarian faction"...?
At this time, seeing that the crisis was approaching, Akutsu finally stopped holding on to his weapon.
He released the weapon in his hand in time and quickly retreated, escaping from Qingdeng's sword in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Qingdeng originally wanted to pursue forward.
Suddenly, a white blade suddenly appeared in the corner of his left eye.
This white blade that suddenly appeared... struck Qingdeng's lower body!
Qingdeng, who had to give up the pursuit due to the sudden attack, performed two consecutive backflips and leaped several meters away.
When his feet stood firmly on the ground again, Qingdeng stabilized the Ding Guishen in front of him again while looking forward intently.
Ichinose, Ebina, and the young man wearing a macaque mask, who had been standing quietly watching the battle just now, all drew their swords in their hands and formed a wall of people, blocking the way between Aoto and Akutsu. between.
The person who attacked Aonto just now was none other than Ichinose.
The sudden intervention of Ichinose and others forced the battle between Aoto and Akutsu to be temporarily suspended.
The system that determined that the fight between the two was over started operating at this moment:
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Water Body"]
[Talent introduction: Body coordination is better than ordinary people]
A happy event comes unexpectedly.
There is another new talent that is quite useful from the content introduction.
However, Qingdeng has long been accustomed to the existence of the system, so his current state of mind has not been affected by the new powerful talent, and his face remains calm.
"That's it!" Ebina looked at Aitobo in front of him, then turned his face and glanced at Akutsu, who had lost his weapon and was in an extremely embarrassing posture. "Akutsu, how are you? You have seen Nioh's strength as you wished. , are you having fun?"
"..." Akutsu stared deeply at Qingteng with eyes flashing with complex emotions.
If the battle between him and Aoto was a life-and-death battle...if Ichinose and the others had not come to the rescue in time...then he would be a dead body now.
Although the fingers of his hands pinched repeatedly due to unwillingness, he finally chose to slowly lower his arms, showing that he had given up.
However, he still made a "tsk" sound on his lips and smacked his lips forcefully, his tone full of depression.
"……Wonderful."
Suddenly, Ichinose, standing in the middle of the wall, spoke.
Standing casually, with the hand holding the knife hanging naturally by his side, he spoke slowly in a calm tone.
"After realizing that the alternate attack of the sickle and the split copper was a problem, I immediately used the wakizashi to block the split copper action... a wonderful on-the-spot reaction."
"I originally thought that among your various achievements, there must be a lot of bragging... Now it seems that I am ignorant."
After finishing speaking, Ichinose bowed slightly and bowed to Aomori in a very humble manner.
"Your Majesty Nioh, please allow me to apologize to you."
"Although Akutsu suddenly attacked you... he had no ill intentions."
….
"I think you should be aware of this."
"Relying on your strong strength and proud achievements, you have recently become a popular celebrity in Edo. As a result, many of my compatriots who aspire to achieve higher and higher achievements in martial arts are very impressed by your skills. interest."
"Even I... am like this."
"I apologize if I have disturbed you."
"..." Faced with Ichinose's apology, Aoto remained silent.
The wolf-like eyes swept across the faces of Akutsu and others along the blade of the ghost-fixing blade.
"You... just said that you are not patriots against the foreigners. Then who are you?"
After asking, Aomori silently tensed up the muscles and nerves in his body, ready to fight Ichinose and others at any time, and to be prepared to deal with any emergencies.
The reaction of this group of people was too calm, and Qingdeng couldn't help but be careless.
They knew that he was Niou who had recently become famous through force and achievements, and that he had also shown his strength in the battle with Akutsu just now. However, the group of people remained calm one after another, as if they did not take him seriously at all. Something happened.
Qingden couldn't help
I wonder if they have any trump card or backhand.
While quietly preparing for battle, Qingdeng had a thought in his heart——
The name Ichinose Tsuyoshi called Akutsu... made him very concerned.
From the interaction between Ichinose and Akutsu, it is not difficult to see that the two people should have a superior-subordinate relationship.
As a result, Ichinose did not call Akutsu a "subordinate", but called him a "fellow citizen" with equal status...
Qingdeng wanted to know the true identity of these people more and more.
"Who, huh...hehe...hehehe..."
Ichinose held his lower back with both hands, lowered his head and upper body, and chuckled "Hehehehe".
Look at his appearance...it feels like Qingdeng just said something that made people laugh.
Just when Ichinose, who was laughing so hard, seemed to want to say something——
Click, click, click...
The sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from the southeast and northeast street intersections.
Along with the footsteps, there was also the sound of "cracking" metal tools repeatedly hitting other objects.
"This movement..." Ichinose raised his head and looked in the direction of the footsteps, "The troublesome person is coming..."
"Mr. Ichinose, Mr. Ebina." The young man wearing the "macaque mask" said, "We have to retreat."
"Yes, I know." Ichinose nodded...then withdrew his gaze and looked at Aomori again, "Nioh-dono, I'm sorry. If there is a chance later, I will tell you who we are."
"Until you gain our complete trust, we cannot let you see our true face hidden in the shadows."
"Let's meet again if we are destined."
Seeing Ichinose and others trying to run away, Aomori subconsciously wanted to stop them and took steps to chase them.
As a result... he suddenly saw two middle-aged men, Ichinose and Ebina, putting their hands into the lapels of their clothes, and each took out a... revolver!
Katcha - The metal sound of steadying the muzzle of the gun and hitting the hammer was very crisp... But for Qingden, he had no time to appreciate this extremely pleasant sound for gun enthusiasts.
….
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
Behind the shadows, a large number of people wearing black kimonos emerged from the two intersections where the sound of dense footsteps could be heard.
Looking at the uniform black attire of this group of people, Qingden murmured:
"Fire-paying thief Kai...?"
Black clothes and black hakama... the fire thief changed his iconic uniform.
Qingteng, who was not very familiar with the Fire Fighting Thieves Kai, didn't know which division was coming.
All we know is that they must be a division composed of the advanced iron artillery group - because more than half of them are holding matchlock guns with slightly mottled shells.
Not a moment later, the gang of thieves-turned-officials suddenly appeared and surrounded Qingdeng three times inside and three times outside.
Then, the officers blocking Qingdeng separated to the left and right sides - a young man about 25 years old, holding the saber on his waist, walked straight along this separate road to Qingdeng. In front of the board.
"Oh~~Isn't this Nioh?"
The tone of the young man's speech was very strange...the sound at the end of each sentence was very long. He looked lost in the lake and lazy.
This way of speaking gives people a casual and unreliable feeling.
I saw him using a slightly exaggerated expression, sighing "He is the King~~", then turned his head and looked around, and said:
"Nioh, as of now, there should be other people here~~ Do you know where those people have gone?"
Being recognized by someone you have never seen or don't know... This kind of thing happens quite often recently, so Qingden is not surprised that the young man recognized him.
….
Qingdeng thought to himself: He currently has no reason to protect those mysterious people. So after hearing the young man's question, Qingdeng quickly answered:
"If I'm chasing some suspicious men wearing masks, then they fled in that direction. Be careful, they are carrying at least two left... two revolving muskets."
"..." The young man glanced at the direction pointed by Qingto, "He's heading in the direction of Aoki Town~~"
"Nagashima, you lead people to chase~~"
"I will lend you Mikura, Matsumoto, and Ozawa~~"
"Have you heard what Nioh said? Those people are carrying Western muskets. The gunfire we just heard was probably their work. If you encounter them, remember not to attack them rashly~~"
"yes!"
A strong man in his early 30s, with a very strong face and figure, responded loudly and strode out of the queue.
After quickly gathering more than ten people, he plunged into the dark alley where Ichinose and others had just fled.
As this strong man, whom the youth called Nagadao, led most of the people away from this place, the river bank that had just become "lively" suddenly became empty and deserted again.
"Obviously we arrived as quickly as possible, but in the end we were still half a step late. It's really depressing~~"
The young man who stayed on the river bank put his hands on his hips and glanced around the circle again... and then slowly turned his gaze back to Qingdeng.
"Nioh, you don't have anything important to do in the future, right? Can you please cooperate with our investigation now? I have some simple questions to ask you."
After finishing speaking, the young man seemed to suddenly think of something, and his body froze slightly.
"Oops~ I suddenly realized that I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself... I'm so embarrassed, so embarrassed~~"
After letting out a few self-deprecating laughs, the young man put down his hands on his hips and straightened his waist——
"I'm the leader of the Huofu Thieves Kaidai 1st Division and the leader of the 9th Division of the Advanced Iron Cannon Division: My grandson Chutaro, please give me your advice~~"
——My grandson Chutaro?
Upon hearing this very strange and easy-to-remember name, Qingden's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
——I met a celebrity...
Qingden unconsciously glanced at
The official celebrity in front of him looked carefully from head to toe.
As for who my grandson Chutaro is... I can describe it in one simple sentence: a rare genius detective!
Although from a functional point of view, the Fire Thief Kai and the "Three Chapters" of the Enforcement Station are the same as the "police system", more than half of the officers in the Fire Thief Kai have no very professional arrest skills.
This is as it should be - almost all members of the Fire Bandits Kai are served by soldiers from the Advanced Bow Team and the Advanced Iron Cannon Team.
Let soldiers whose main job is fighting work part-time as police... Under such circumstances, the mainstream style of handling crimes that led to the reform of thieves is to "make miracles happen with great force" - when you encounter a suspect, you will be punished without explanation!
Even innocent people were forced to admit their guilt.
This is also a major reason why Huo Fu Thieves Gai's popularity among the people has not been very high, and people are always shocked and frightened when mentioning Huo Fu Thieves Gai.
In such a "chaotic group", my grandson Chutaro, who does not rely on torture to extract confessions, but relies on collecting evidence and reasoning to search for eucalyptus, is like a "white lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained."
Relying on his outstanding mind and extraordinary reasoning ability, my grandson Chutaro has an astonishingly high crime rate and extremely proud achievements.
Many thorny cases and crimes were solved by him, including many cases where months or even years had passed since the incident, and others thought it was impossible to find the murderer.
In this era where there are no convenient technological products such as surveillance and big data, nor any advanced criminal forensics technology, it is not an exaggeration to call him a "genius" for being able to solve so many major cases...
