A new warm current has appeared.
Whenever the talent of "transforming the physical body" is copied, this magical warmth will appear in the body, and Qingdeng has long been accustomed to its existence.
However, the new warm current that appeared at this moment was different from the previous ones in terms of heat and intensity.
It shouldn't be called "warm current" anymore, it should be called "hot current".
As if being doused in a hot spring, Qingden felt that his whole head was hot.
When the heat subsided, Qingden subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead.
--Well! this is……!
"Sir. What's wrong?"
Sa Zhong on the side asked doubtfully.
"No...it's okay...it's okay."
Qingdeng was perfunctory and slowly put down the hand on his forehead.
"I see..." Qingdeng looked at my grandson who was knocked to the ground not far away with a look of emotion, and then murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "My grandson, I understand you. Why can I become a 'famous detective'..."
Qingdeng didn't know how to use specific words to describe his current feelings.
To put it simply...he feels that his brain is so refreshed now! My consciousness has become so clear!
It's like I just had a good night's sleep... No! More than that!
This is the first time Qingdeng has copied a full-level talent with the "+9" suffix.
It turns out that there really are monsters born with "+9 talent" in this world... There are indeed many wonders in this world.
It's normal that there are still a handful of people who possess eternal talents that "only this person possesses in this world."
Compared with the eternal talent, the max-level talent is not so shocking.
Should it be said that it is a full-level talent that has been promoted to the top level? Judging from actual experience alone, the talent effect of "God Brain +9" far exceeded Qingdeng's expectations!
The extreme clarity of his mind made Qingden's thinking speed and five senses much sharper.
At the same time, Qingdeng couldn't help but think: The most important way for humans to repair brain fatigue is to sleep.
Ordinary people must fall asleep every day and sleep for at least 6 to 9 hours to ensure the normal activities of the human body.
Originally, relying on the powerful sleep ability given by the "Sleep God", Qingdeng only needed to sleep for 4 hours a day to stay energetic all day long, giving him several hours more free time every day than ordinary people.
So, now that he has the full-level talent: "God Brain +9" that makes the brain less fatigued...can he not need to sleep for a long time, or even for several days in a row?
That being the case, that's really cool.
The leisure time you can freely control every day is further extended, and you can enjoy more of your life!
The more Qingdeng thought about it, the more his heart surged.
At this time, Tiancang Xiao's old male voice brought Qingdeng's consciousness back to reality.
"Sir, reinforcements from the opposite side are about to arrive. Let's leave now."
Qingdeng turned his head and looked downstairs - indeed, there were already dense crowds of dark figures and the bright light of swords at the bottom of the stairs.
"Well, let's go, follow me!"
Qingden made a habitual "blood shake" movement, flicked the bamboo sword in his hand, and then passed by my grandson and Mizushima who fell to the ground, and continued to rush forward towards the top floor.
"Ah! My grandson-sama and Mizushima-sama were both defeated!"
Suddenly, Qingdeng heard a broken yell from behind.
It must have been one of the team members who discovered my grandson and Mizushima who were defeated.
Even without looking back, Qingden could feel the uneasy smell escaping from the air against his skin.
My grandson aside, Mizushima is one of the most powerful warriors in the Huoshu Thieves Kai. He has superb swordsmanship and great military exploits, and is deeply trusted by the majority of the team members.
Even such a strong and powerful "Huofu Tiger" was defeated by the sword of the intruder, and what the intruder used was not a real sword, but a bamboo sword...
The tragic defeat of Mizushima had an impact on the soldiers who came for reinforcements, no less than shooting a heavy howitzer into a lake that was originally as calm as a mirror.
Although the Huofu Thieves Kai were one of the most powerful troops under the Edo shogunate, there were indeed many people who were just cheating.
In the final analysis, the reason why the Huofu Thieves Kai received the title of "one of the strongest units" was not because of its strong combat effectiveness, but simply because the other units such as the small surname group, the academy group, and the large group were too weak.
This is the so-called "general from the dwarf".
What's more, the people stationed at the government office tonight are not the elite soldiers of the Huofu Thief Gai.
As a result, a group of cowards who hesitated to move forward suddenly appeared.
For an army... or for any organization, negative emotions such as "fear" and "panic" are the most fatal.
Human beings' herd mentality is doomed: once even one person becomes afraid or shrinks, the panic will immediately spread like a virus, quickly "infecting" everyone, and causing extremely bad effects on the fighting spirit and morale of others. Impact.
In the blink of an eye, the footsteps behind Qingdeng and others became fewer and lighter.
However, suddenly, Qingden, with his hearing that had become sharper with the blessing of the "God Brain +9" he had just obtained, suddenly heard a series of subtle sounds, but they were indeed approaching them.
Katcha, kacha, kacha, kacha, kacha…
These sounds are all too familiar to Qingdeng, who has been working as a thief in Huofu for more than four months.
This is the iron cannon...that is, the metallic sound of matchlock guns colliding with each other!
Qingden's brows suddenly frowned.
No matter how many opponents come with swords and swords in their hands, Qingden is confident that he can escape unscathed from the chaos.
But if the weapons were changed to long guns or matchlocks... then even Qingden wouldn't dare to be too big.
Especially for the latter, the gap in combat power caused by differences in weapons generation is not so easy to smooth out.
There may be great swordsmen in this world who can easily cut through bullets and remain unscathed even in a hail of bullets - but it is obvious that Qingden has not yet reached such a state.
——We have to hurry up...!
Qingdeng clenched the bamboo sword in his hand tighter.
Although more and more soldiers gradually began to retreat, there were also many who faithfully carried out the duties of a soldier - even if they knew they were defeated, they bravely stepped forward!
"Don't be afraid! Follow me!"
"What are you doing standing still? If we can't stop even four intruders, how can we raise our heads to see people in the future?!"
"Let the thieves see the energy and toughness of Huo Fu Thief Kai!"
…
After walking through the entire staircase without any danger, Qingdeng and others finally arrived at their destination: the top floor of the government office, the third floor!
"My dear..." Yae murmured, "You really put in the trouble...you actually held such a 'grand' 'welcome ceremony' for us..."
Qingdeng looked ahead and saw a forest of swords on the straight corridor!
More than 30 soldiers with swords in hand stood shoulder to shoulder and formed a dense human wall blocking the entire corridor.
"Bold thief! Stop here!"
From behind the human wall, Okubo Tadō's voice sounded.
"You have fought all the way here with the strength of only a few people. Although you are all evil thieves, I have to admire you: your abilities are not small!"
"But! That's it!"
"As you can see! In front of you is our carefully constructed defense line, and behind you are the rest of the team who are about to arrive!"
"You can't advance, you can't retreat, you have no way to escape!"
"I'll give you a piece of advice now - it's best to surrender quickly before our iron gunners and archers arrive!"
"Otherwise... I must let you see the power of the iron cannons and bows and arrows that I modified by Huo Fu Thieves!"
As soon as Okubo finished speaking, Kurosawa Atsushi, who was standing side by side with him, shouted in unison:
"Why don't you surrender quickly?!"
Although my grandson and Mizushima were defeated miserably by Aoto, their fight was not without effect. They successfully delayed Qingdeng and his party for several minutes.
A few minutes... Although the time is short, it is enough for Okubo and Kurosawa to recruit the iron cannons, bows and arrows stored in the weapons warehouse, and mobilize all the combat power on the third floor to build a defense line to intercept Aonto and others!
"gentlemen……"
Qingdeng glanced at Shazhong who suddenly called him out of the corner of his eye.
After Shazhong called "Sir", he said nothing more.
However, her eyes told her exactly what she wanted to say: Okubo Tadashi's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were not unreasonable. When the iron gunners and archers arrive, we will be in danger!
The reminder of yarn weight is actually redundant. Even if she didn't remind him, Qingdeng knew the stakes.
Qingden gave Sha Zhong a "don't worry" look, and then turned his gaze forward again, his eyes firmly locked behind the wall of people.
Good luck... Qingden sighed secretly.
I saw that behind the human wall were not only Okubo and Kurosawa, who had just made a speech, but also Kimura Suma, Higasaka Genzo, Tsuchida Masaki and Kazama Nobuyoshi.
Why did he go to all the trouble and danger tonight to attack Huofu thieves and reform the government office?
The purpose is to catch Kimura and others.
But now, his targets are all gathered together.
As long as they can break through the human wall in front of them and capture Kimura and others alive... their operation tonight will be half successful!
In this case...then what to do next is very simple and clear.
"Did you see those four people standing at the end of the wall?"
Qingden lowered his voice and whispered to the second sister beside him, Mr. Tiancang Xiao.
"Those four people are Kimura, Huosaka, Tsuchida and Kazama."
After saying that, Qingdeng moved his right wrist and shoulder. The joint movement sounds like exploding beans, which makes people feel goosebumps.
"Please remember to follow me later."
After leaving these concise instructions, Qingdeng strode forward——
…
The first batch of reinforcements to arrive consisted of about ten people.
They raced against time to climb up the stairs, and when they finally reached the top floor from downstairs...the scene before them made them jaw-dropping, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"Uh...! Uh...!"
"It hurts……"
"Hiss...! Hiss...! My shoulder...! Uh...!"
There were screams and moans of pain one after another.
One after another, the injured and unconscious fell on the floor of the corridor.
The bodies stacked and entangled with each other are like threads woven into a huge "carpet".
Let your eyes extend forward along this giant "carpet", and you can see four figures of different sizes standing at the very front of the "carpet".
They are using their fists, legs, feet, and bamboo swords in their hands to continuously expand the area of the "carpet"...
…
Qingdeng swung his bamboo sword as easily as he was holding a lantern grass. The dark yellow blade only waved in a circle in mid-air, and the encirclement net of the soldiers gathered around him suddenly opened.
Several team members flew high into the air and slid for a short distance before landing heavily.
Soon enough, the bamboo sword once again drew a beautiful arc in mid-air.
Several more bodies flew high into the air.
Wherever the sword's edge reaches, it will be invincible. In an instant, Qingdeng tore open gaps one after another in the thick human wall.
While swinging his sword like a warrior god, his feet did not stop and rushed deeper into the wall.
Whenever there was a gap in front of him, he would immediately step forward and occupy the gap.
His slender body was like a solid rock, still standing despite being repeatedly struck by rapids.
"Look at the knife!"
"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"go to hell!"
The three soldiers who attacked from the left, center and right at the same time, although they used slashes with quite accurate landing points, they may not be able to hit Qingdeng.
Qingden moved much faster than their knives.
And even more powerful than the movement speed... is the bamboo sword in Qingdeng's hand.
In an instant, Qing Deng suddenly jumped to the left, his jumping speed was as fast as lightning.
When he landed, Qingdeng relied on gravity and the weight of his body to slide down and chop down one of the three people who had just attacked him with a sword.
The other two people were yelling and preparing to attack Qingdeng again, but at this time, they both grunted in pain, and then fell backwards in unison.
"W-what speed is this...cough!"
A soldier next to him stared blankly at Qing Deng, who defeated three of his companions in an instant with a sword speed that was difficult for the naked eye to keep up with. While he was still in shock, a slash from the wind took away his consciousness...
All those who thought they could suppress Qingdeng with their numerical superiority, without exception, never took any advantage.
What Qingdeng is least afraid of is group battles.
In the talent list, "Lonely Brave" and "Gathering God" shine brightly.
There seems to be a mutually reinforcing effect between "Gathering God" and "Shen Nao + 9" - this is Qingdeng's recent discovery.
Because the brain becomes less susceptible to fatigue, the period of high concentration can be extended much longer.
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a heavy pressure approaching his side.
Qingdeng glanced sideways and saw that someone was approaching, planning to launch a sneak attack when he was not prepared.
This person understood the principle of "being as silent and invisible as possible when attacking others". While lowering his body's center of gravity, he quietly closed the distance between himself and Qingden with steps that made almost no sound.
In such a messy battlefield, unless you have outstanding perception ability, you may not be able to detect this person's existence.
But unfortunately, Qingdeng's senses happened to be quite sharp.
When Qingdeng looked towards him, their eyes met.
This man never thought that he would be discovered so quickly, and he couldn't help but panic a little; but he immediately adjusted himself, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and bowed his waist, and rushed towards Qingdeng's arms with his sword.
Just when Qingdeng was about to intercept with his sword...
"Pooh!"
A small foot swung out from the slanting stab kicked the man away in one step before Qingdeng's bamboo sword.
"Hey, junior, take it easy."
The owner of this little foot, Yae, curled his lips and warned Qingden in a low voice.
"The wound on your body has just scabbed over. If you don't pay more attention, the wound will probably open."
The "wounds" Yae mentioned were naturally referring to the burns Aomori suffered when he escaped from the prison house in Kodenma Town that was engulfed by fire.
Although the injury is not serious, it has already scabbed with the help of talents such as "Physical Fitness +1" and "Yuanyang +1", but it is just a scab. At least it will take some more time to heal, and these wounds can be completely healed. get well.
In fact, before tonight's "kidnapping operation" began, Tianzhangyuan had persuaded Qingto that it would not be too late to kidnap Kimura and others after his body fully recovered.
But Qingdeng was eager to find the mysterious group that was chasing him as soon as possible, so he didn't listen to Tianzhangyuan's advice.
"Senior, don't worry."
Qingden smiled and responded to Yae half-jokingly.
"An opponent of this level won't let me accidentally get injured."
The two sisters and Amakura Xiao are worthy of being the ninjas who are deeply relied on by Tianzhangyuan.
Needless to say, he is highly skilled.
At the same time, because they are all old acquaintances of Qingdeng, they know each other well and cooperate well with each other.
No matter where Qingdeng went, they followed him closely, protecting Qingdeng's left, right and back sides.
Thanks to their protection and support, Qingden was able to attack with all his strength without any worries.
After making a humorous remark to Yae, Aomori refocused his entire body and mind on the battle in front of him.
Under his fierce attack, the originally neat and tight human wall was now in pieces.
Qing Deng counted the heads and found that only 15 soldiers were still standing.
Without exception, the faces of these "survivors" were full of fear and timidity.
If Okubo, Kurosawa and other officers had not stood behind them and personally supervised the battle, they would have lost their morale and fled.
"Good! Caught up!"
Suddenly, rapid shouting and footsteps sounded behind Qingdeng.
Qingdeng turned his head and looked back - the first group of soldiers who climbed the stairs to get here were rushing towards them.
Seeing that the reinforcements finally arrived, Okubo and others suddenly showed expressions of joy.
Compared to Okubo and others who were overjoyed, Aomori's reaction was much calmer.
He remained expressionless for a moment, and then quietly moved his gaze to the trio of "one old and two young" next to him.
"...Can I leave it to you?"
Qingden asked.
"Do not worry."
Tiancang Xiaodan responded calmly.
Qingden smiled happily.
The next moment, he changed the bamboo sword in his palm to hold it with both hands, and charged forward with one sword at a time!
The second sister and Tiancang Xiao turned around and faced the team members attacking from behind!
Okubo was shocked: "Quick! Stop him! Stop him!"
The last 15 soldiers who still had the strength to fight, squeezed out the last bit of courage in their bodies, shouted and rushed towards Qingdeng.
If Okubo and others were shocked by Aoto's sudden appearance, then the scene that unfolded next could be said to have stunned Okubo and others.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow of the sword swung out by the bamboo sword spread and shrouded all around.
Every slash he swung out could hit the vital point of every team member with extreme accuracy.
He didn't use any more strength, nor did he use any less strength.
Not only is it accurate, but the sword is also incredibly fast.
Among the 15 team members, at least half of them didn't even react before being knocked to the ground by Qingden.
The eyes and consciousness of the other half of the people could keep up with Qingdeng's speed, but their bodies were a few beats slower.
Less than 10 seconds passed before all 15 team members fell to the ground, temporarily losing the ability to get up and fight again.
Human wall, break through!
