Qingdeng stood upright with his legs slightly apart.
With Echizen Guards and Hitachi Guards in hand, his posture showed no flaw.
His posture is like that of a lion with all its hair and beard spread out. Anyone who sees him, even if they hate him, will feel that he is majestic and majestic, which makes people feel fascinated and envious.
"Konosuke Kitahara, I haven't seen you for a while."
Qingden said calmly, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again in this life, but I didn't expect that we were destined to meet at such a time and on such an occasion."
Kithara Konosuke snorted heavily.
"Ju Qingden! We haven't found you yet, but we didn't expect you to come to our door yourself!"
"I didn't mean to do this, but the wind doesn't stop even though the tree wants to be quiet."
Speaking of this, Qingdeng's tone suddenly rose several degrees.
"I heard everything you said just now!"
"Konosuke Kitahara! What did you mean when you said 'Revenge against the Tachibana family' just now?"
"It's not revenge against me, but revenge against my family... Where does your motivation for revenge come from?"
As soon as Aoto finished speaking, Kitahara Konosuke showed a...surprised, but also full of charm expression as if he had guessed Aoto's question.
"Hmph! It's true... Ju Qingden, you really don't know anything."
"When I first met you, when I saw the look in your eyes, I vaguely guessed that you didn't know anything."
"Forget it! Since you don't know anything, I don't have the time to explain it to you one by one!"
Between the lines of Kitahara Konosuke's words, there is uncontrollable anger.
Compared to Kitahara Konosuke's indignation, Aoden's reaction and demeanor at the moment were particularly calm.
At first glance, Aoto, who had just been talking to Kitahara Konosuke, seemed a bit verbose.
But in essence, he was trying to obtain information while locking in the positions of Kitahara Konosuke and others!
"That's it... then, no need to say anything more."
After saying that, Aoto lifted Echizenzumi Tsunagi Mamoru Kanejutsu, who was naturally dragged to his right side, to his chest, held the sword in both hands, and raised his stance from the middle.
"Draw the sword!"
"After you become my prisoner, I want to see if you can remain silent again!"
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene changed drastically!
It was not Aoto's actions and words that contributed to the change in the atmosphere, but the expressions of Kitahara Konosuke and others.
The moment they saw Aoto assume a fighting stance, Kitahara Konosuke and others' expressions changed in various ways.
Or look solemn.
Or look frightened.
Or overwhelmed.
However, no matter what kind of expression it is, it all points to the same emotion: fear of "Nioh's Blade"!
"……do not be afraid!"
At this moment, Kōnosuke Kitahara suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily.
"Open your eyes and take a good look!"
"The enemy we have always cherished is now right in front of us!"
"This place and moment is both a dangerous situation and a great opportunity!"
"It is true that Tachibana Aoden is a famous swordsman! He is a Niou who can defeat the whole group of rebels by himself without losing any of them!"
"But we also have our winning potential!"
"Our desire to avenge our father is enough to melt stubborn rocks!"
"As long as you stick to your heart of revenge and do it consistently! Then the power of 'heart' will be able to make up for the lack of 'force'!"
"What's more, even if we turn around and run away now, in such a narrow place with nowhere to escape, we still can't escape from the hands of Niou, who is known for his amazing leg strength!"
"So, from the moment Tachibana Aoden showed up, the only road ahead of us was to 'fight like hell'!"
When shouting the word "fight", Kitahara Konosuke drew his sword and raised it in front of him.
"Follow me! Take off Tachibana Aoden's head!"
It has to be said that Konosuke Kitahara is worthy of being a cadre-level figure in a large group like the "Shimizu Clan", and he has quite a leadership style.
Judging from the results alone, his simple speech had remarkable results.
Those who looked frightened and uneasy just now gradually regained their composure after listening to his speech.
The light and shadow of the sword were very dazzling in the night.
"Feel free to come over here."
With that said, Qingden took a step forward.
At the same time, the sharp tip of Echizen Sumi Hitachi Moru Kaneshige in his hand reflected the moonlight, which was particularly thin because it was obscured by thick clouds. The cold light shot into the eyes of Kitahara Konosuke and others.
Kitahara Konosuke and others took the lead in taking action.
Winter winter winter winter winter winter!
Like a herd of galloping horses, the footsteps seemed to tear the floor of the corridor apart, swarming towards Qingdeng!
Konosuke Kitahara not only talks beautifully, he also practices it.
He howled and rushed to the front of the crowd.
Even if we just look at the extremely simple principle of "deal with those who are close to you first, and then attack those who are far away from you", Aoto should have attacked Kitahara Konosuke first.
However, he didn't do that.
He intends to save Kitahara Konosuke's life - he has a mountain of questions to ask this person.
In an ever-changing and chaotic battle of this scale, it is very difficult to accurately control the force on your hands to injure people without killing them.
Therefore, Seito decided to temporarily let Kitahara Konosuke go and weaken the combat power of his subordinates first!
Soon after, Konosuke Kitahara's knife was already slashing towards Aomori.
Just by looking at the extremely straight tendon of this sword, which is neither crooked nor slanted, you can tell that this leader of the "Shimizu Clan" is also an outstanding swordsman who lives up to his status as a samurai!
Along with Kitahara Konosuke's slashing attack, there were two people on his left and right sides who attacked Aoto.
The corridor that the two sides are currently in can only accommodate three adult males to launch an offensive side by side at most.
Therefore, dispatching three people to attack Aoto at the same time is the limit that Kitahara Konosuke and others can do.
In the flash of lightning, Qingden was seen turning around under the swords of the three men headed by Kitara Konosuke.
Taking a step forward, he dodged Kōnosuke Kitahara's sword.
Taking another step, he ducked behind Kōnosuke Kitahara.
Standing behind Kitahara Konosuke is a "scar face" with a scar on his lip.
Seeing Qingdeng suddenly ducking in front of him, Scarface was startled at first, then quickly calmed down, and then aimed a sharp slash at Qingdeng's forehead.
Not a bad reaction... Qingdeng was certain that this scarred face must be a battle-hardened man who was used to seeing blood.
Qingdenwan waved the knife in his hand with a scarred face.
Although it seems that the speed of the two swords is the same, it is obvious that Scarface is going all out, while Qingden still has some remaining strength.
Suddenly - a clang.
Qingdeng flicked Scarface's knife away.
In the next breath, Qingdeng's upper body suddenly leaned forward, and his right elbow seemed to fly out.
At that moment, the Echizen Tsunaki Mamoru Kaneshige in his hand transformed into an uncertain afterimage.
The speed of Qing Deng's strike was far superior to Shi Cai's.
The blade cut through the air so fast that it was dizzying.
I saw a ray of white light entering Scarface's neck.
Because the speed was so fast, bystanders with insufficient vision could not tell whether Qingdeng's knife hit Scarface.
Scarface seemed to be frightened by Qingdeng's quick blow. He stood frozen on the spot, still holding the knife in his hand, and no blood could be seen on his body.
A tall dwarf behind Scarface saw Scarface suddenly stopped moving, and when he was about to subconsciously raise his hands to support him, his body suddenly fell straight backwards, right into the dwarf's arms. middle.
"Ahhhhh!"
The dwarf screamed.
As he shouted, a blood line appeared on Scarface's neck.
The blood lines become larger, darker, and more obvious at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Thick, warm blood gurgled out, staining the corridor floor red.
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Before the mind moves, the body has already moved ahead!
Qingden violently closed his left leg, knelt on one knee, and while turning around, he unexpectedly slashed at the cold air approaching from behind.
Phew!
The blade penetrates the flesh.
In order to combat the sluggish feel of the blade being trapped by flesh and blood, Qingdeng secretly used his strength and changed the "horizontal cut" to a "waist cut".
Damn it!
By the time Echizen Tsutami Kame Kanashige left the enemy's body, his blade no longer had any cold light - the long and slender blade was completely covered in scarlet blood.
The figure of the enemy, whose upper and lower body was only connected by a little flesh and blood, staggered. He turned his back to Qingden and staggered forward for a few steps, and then fell to the ground like a collapse.
But in the blink of an eye, Qingden killed two of their companions.
The rapid death of his companions and Aonto's sharp and beast-like attack all aroused a panic that made the expressions of Kitahara Konosuke and others visibly shaken.
Seeing this, Qingdeng decided to "strike while the iron is hot"!
"ha……"
He let out a breath.
Almost at the same time as he exhaled, he clenched the knife held by his side in a lower right posture.
"Lonely", "Gathering God", "Tiger's Arms +1", "Bear's Waist +1", "Elephant's Core +1" and other talents are activated!
Echizen resident Tsune Rikumo Kanashige drew an arc in the air.
With just one blow, three good heads were cut off!
When the precious blade that could not be exchanged for a hundred dollars was swung again, the heads of two more people flew into the air.
How tough is human skin?
How strong are human bones?
For an ordinary person who has never been exposed to swordsmanship, or a novice who has just entered martial arts, it may be impossible to break a bone even with several cuts.
Qingdeng cut off three heads with just one strike!
If you don't have outstanding strength, you can't do it!
Qingdeng's strength is truly terrifying... In other words, the power unleashed by the superposition of talents such as "Lonely Gale" and "Tiger Arm +1" is truly terrifying.
Just now, when he was wielding the Echizen Sumihitachi Mori Kaneshige, the sound and momentum of the blade cutting through the air was like an express carriage speeding along a gentle road!
The sound of breaking wind is not a "whooshing" sound, but a "booming" sound.
Qingden felt that he was in a good state, and his limbs gradually became more and more flexible.
He casually wiped away the blood of an unknown person that splashed on his face, looking for the next opponent.
It was like a sharp gaze concealing a sword, sweeping across the surroundings along the blade of Echizenzumi Hitachi Moru Kaneshige.
Before he could organize a new offensive, someone couldn't help but rush towards him.
Qingdeng heard the solid and powerful sounds of footsteps and the sonorous sound of swords coming from behind him.
He did not look back, only tilted his head slightly to the side, and looked behind him from the corner of his eye - the assailant was a short man who could be as tall as Gua Shengxiu.
Although Xiao Jizi was menacing, Qingdeng concluded just by looking at his movements that there was no need to face him directly or open up a fight with him.
Qingteng looked away, then suddenly knelt down on his knees, holding the knife behind his back, arching his back, and stabbed Kanashige Echizen, Hitachi Rishu, back against the ground.
"Huh! Huh! Huhhhhhhh!"
With a painful scream, Dwarf's heart was pierced.
Under the dual effects of "severe pain" and "shock", his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and a pair of eyeballs seemed to roll off to the ground at any time.
Qingdeng's attack distance far exceeded his expectations.
In his estimation, he should have to take another 1 or 2 steps forward before Qingdeng's sword could touch him.
Qingdeng's unusually wide attack range caused Dwarf's expression to be dominated by strong resentment and confusion.
The heart was pierced... with such a fatal injury that Hua Tuo would shake his head whenever he came, there was no possibility of survival.
Just as Dwarf's body fell forward due to the loss of life, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the secret of Qingdeng's attack range suddenly becoming so wide out of the corner of his eye.
The man who took his life did not hold the hilt of the sword with his hand, but tightly clamped the end of the hilt with the second joint of the index finger and middle finger of his right hand...
Thinking back to last year, in a duel with the leader of the anti-barbarian group: Kamino Tatsugoro, Qingto was almost defeated by the opponent's secret technique.
At this time, Kamino’s secret skill was to hold the end of the knife handle with his fingers!
Generally speaking, the most common way to hold a sword in Japanese swordsmanship is to hold the front half of the handle with the tiger's mouth close to the sword.
Clamp the end of the knife handle with your fingers - this is equivalent to adding an entire length of the knife handle and part of your fingers to the original attack range.
In this way, the attack range will naturally become much larger.
The distance from the skin of the chest to the heart is only a few centimeters.
The attack range suddenly increased, which meant that the stabbing that could only cut through the skin could now easily pierce the heart.
Although he and Kamino are eternal enemies, Qingden has to admit: Kamino's move is really wonderful!
This technique, which can instantly increase the attack distance, is similar to suddenly taking out a revolver from your arms. It is an excellent technique for sneak attack on the enemy!
After the duel with Kamino ended, Aomori secretly made up his mind: I will learn the technique of "holding a knife between my fingers"!
However, it is obvious that this is not a simple trick that can be learned immediately.
In essence, this move requires no skills, only one thing: power!
To be more precise, it is strong finger strength!
The weight of the katana is not light at all.
A common knife weighs several kilograms at least.
The weight of the sword itself, coupled with the leverage... Let alone attacking with the knife clamped, whether ordinary people can even clamp the knife is a problem.
Compared with ordinary people, Qingden has the gift of enhancing the strength and flexibility of his fingers: "skillful hands". However, even so, Qingden still cannot pick up lanterns with just two fingers like Kamino. Heavy sword.
However, as of today, Qingdeng's "Skillful Hands" has been upgraded to "Skillful Hands + 2" through the fusion of talents many times.
The substantial upgrade of his "skillful hand" greatly increased Qingdeng's finger strength.
With the blessing of "Skillful Hands + 2", he was finally able to hold the sword with his fingers!
However, he has not yet been able to perform a slashing attack that requires both large movements and energy consumption.
At this stage, after holding the knife between his fingers, Qingdeng could only push the knife out... that is, he could only use thrusting.
He has to practice for a while longer, or wait for the "skillful hand" to be further upgraded, before he can catch up with Kamino's level.
But no matter what, after the sword-drawing technique "Liuguang", Qingdeng has developed a new secret technique that can defeat the enemy unexpectedly - this is something to be happy about!
Qingdeng gave his new secret skill a majestic name: Yang Yan!
The name was chosen because "Kagero" sometimes means mirage in Japanese.
An attack that has a wide and sometimes narrow range of damage, and can be hit if you are not careful, should be the same as an erratic mirage in the eyes of the enemy!
The short boy slowly fell down, right on Qingden's back.
The warm blood dyed Aonto's haori black.
Qingdeng took advantage of the situation and used a blow to throw him over his shoulder. Using Qingdeng's spine as a fulcrum, Qingdeng's body somersaulted forward.
Peng!
The short boy smashed the paper sliding door of the room in front of Qingdeng and fell into the depths of the room.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
"Look at the knife!"
The enemy attacked from the left and right at the same time. Although the timing of the attack was commendable, the speed was too slow.
Qingden jumped away faster than them and jumped into the next room.
Blah blah blah...
The enemies who filed in after Qingden filled up the room like Mo Yin.
The enemy hiding in the dark rushed towards Qingdeng with his sword.
The moment he sensed a subtle change in the air around him, Qingdeng instinctively turned away and ran forward a few steps.
When he turned around, the enemy who was unwilling to stop and wanted to deliver another blow was already in front of him.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Two white blades made a sound in the wind.
Qingdeng swung his sword to deflect the enemy's head-on slash.
Immediately afterwards, when Qingdeng passed by the enemy, his body suddenly sank and he swung his sword across the enemy's waist.
The feeling of the sharp blade slicing through the skin, flesh, and internal organs was continuously transmitted along the handle to Qingdeng's palm.
Qingdeng didn't even notice that his waist was cut in half, and he collapsed on the ground. He glanced at the enemy who was breathing in but not breathing out, and turned to face the next opponent.
"Avenge daddy!"
A strong man wielding a gold-breaking stick immediately attacked.
Gold-breaking stick: A characteristic weapon of ancient Japan. It has no fixed form, but generally refers to a stick-type weapon that has been strengthened and added with other substances in order to increase its attack power.
The golden stick in the strong man's hand is very simple, with a large number of iron nails embedded only in the tip, and the shape is a bit like a mace.
As the saying goes: A stick in the moon is worth a sword in a lifetime.
This means that for stick training, a few months of training is generally enough; for knife training, it takes a year before you can use some decent moves when cutting with others, and perform some serious offense and defense. ; If you practice spear, you will have moves that you can continue to learn and improve even if you practice for a lifetime.
There are not too many complicated things in the stick method. Just learn to exert force, learn the changes in different attack distances, know how to dodge and block, and know how to seize the opportunity to attack, that's pretty much it.
However, just because the stick technique is easy to practice does not mean that the stick technique is weak.
Not only does the stick have a far greater attack range than ordinary swords, but it has neither a guard nor a blade, nor a tip nor a handle - from another perspective, every part of the entire stick can Use it as a weapon!
If you practice it well, the ever-changing trajectory of the stick will never be matched by ordinary swordsmen.
Fearing the destructive power and attack range of the Golden Broken Rod, Qingdeng did not advance rashly.
While cautiously dealing with the strong man, he waited for the best opportunity to counterattack.
At the same time, he was able to deal with attacks from other enemies coming from different directions with ease.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
The strong man waved the golden stick in his hand like a whirlwind.
Although the strong man's attack was very fierce, if he couldn't hit his opponent, the movements of swinging the golden broken stick were just a pure waste of energy.
Suddenly, the strong man lost strength, so the movements of his hands were half a beat slow.
Like a shark smelling blood, Qingden galloped forward. The blade struck from bottom to top, cutting the golden stick in his palm into two pieces from the middle of the strong man's left and right hands holding the stick body.
The thick and long golden broken stick turned into a short stick in each hand.
The middle door is wide open, and the time of death has come.
Qingdeng jumped up, pounced on the strong man, and hacked him to death in the blink of an eye.
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Elephant's Core"]
[Talent Introduction: The core strength of the body is better than ordinary people]
【Ding! It is detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

…
Upgrade on the spot.
Qingden suddenly felt a warm current surrounding his waist.
After the warmth subsided, he felt that the muscles in his waist and abdomen were tighter and more powerful.
The strong man's blood column was still splattering, but Qingdeng had already jumped to the next blood column - he lifted up his body, and his movements were as light as a flying swallow. When he passed over someone's head, that person's The Tianling Gai cracked in half.
When Qingdeng landed, he happened to land in front of an enemy with a thick beard.
The bearded man froze.
"Drink, drink, ah, ah, ah!"
In the next breath, he summoned up the courage to raise the knife, but before the knife in his palm could be struck, Qingdeng had already disappeared from his eyes.
"Here."
Qingdeng and the bearded man met each other by chance.
At the moment when the sleeves of both parties met, the bearded man vomited blood and fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times and then became silent again.
While slicing open the bearded man's belly, Qingden easily pulled out the wakizashi from his waist.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Qingden threw the wakizashi with great force before it even had time to warm it up.
The wakizashi, which was polished to a very sharp point, pulled out a straight trajectory in the air and flew into the chest of the person next to him.
Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng seemed to have eyes on his back. He slashed the person approaching him from behind with a knife and knocked him to the ground.
"Uh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
At this time, a new opponent appeared.
Two enemies of similar height rushed towards Qingdeng, one on the left and the other on the right.
Qingdeng lowered his center of gravity with a calm expression, took up the Kasumi stance, and pointed the tip of the sword at the enemy on his left——
Natural flow of mind and ignorance!
The blade of Echizen Sutada Riki Moru Kaneshige penetrated the body of the enemy on his left.
Qingdeng's offensive is not over yet! He swept to the right along the direction of the blade, and his clothes, flesh and bones were cut to pieces by the blade.
The blade cuts through the body of the enemy on the left, and then sweeps straight towards the enemy on the right.
The man's reaction was quite quick, he quickly turned sideways and protected the knife in his hand against his chest.
But his resistance was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot in the face of Qingdeng's slashes.
When the two knives came into contact, the man suddenly felt a huge force as if it were overwhelming from a mountain, and passed along the blade to his body. His arms instantly lost consciousness, and his ribs and internal organs seemed to be shaken out of place.
His knife was also severely deformed by the beating, and the blade bent sharply inward from the point where the two knives met.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
He held the bounced knife and stumbled backwards, until he finally stopped retreating when he hit the wall.
"Oh shit!"
"hateful!"
Two more people rushed towards Qingdeng.
But one of them suddenly fell to the ground without saying a word, as if struck by lightning.
As for the other person...
In a hurry, he saw a black scarf flying high, filling his field of vision.
"Varied……"
Before he could even say a complete "what", his life was cut off by Qingdeng's quick strike.
…
Qingden ran around in various rooms and corridors.
Attack and defense are constantly switching.
One figure after another fell down.
The blood dyed the walls and corridors bright red.
After the war, Aomori had to admit that Kitahara Konosuke and others had a strong will to fight.
According to common sense, after witnessing Qingdeng's powerful strength and seeing his companions being chopped down one by one like melons and vegetables, his morale should have collapsed early and he should have fled for his life.
However, as of now, no one on Kitahara Konosuke's side has escaped.
Although many of them had obvious panic and fear on their brows, they still fought bravely with their swords raised and refused to retreat.
Since the beginning of the battle, Qingdeng has discovered that all enemies have dragons and phoenixes tattooed on their bodies.
This shows that these people are all Yakuza.
As for whether they are all Yakuza of the "Shimizu Clan" like Kithara Konosuke, Aomori doesn't know.
A mere Yakuza actually has such a strong will to fight...
It must be "revenge" driving them.
In order to avenge their so-called father, they completely put their lives at risk.
Qingdeng was slightly surprised by this - he did not expect that there actually existed a Yakuza in this world who implemented the way of "benevolence and righteousness".
In order to put gold on their faces, Yakuza people like to call themselves "Ren Xia" and often use the banner of "benevolence and righteousness".
Why never betray?
Never bully the weak.
What about respecting the boss and being friendly to subordinates?
But in fact, what Yakuza does in daily life has nothing to do with "benevolence and righteousness".
While engaging in such dirty deeds as human trafficking, forcing good girls to sell their bodies, issuing loan sharks, and annihilating their children and grandchildren, they talk about "benevolence and righteousness"... It's really ridiculous!
There are endless scandals such as betrayal, betrayal, and cheating within Yakuza.
Although the heroic feat of Konosuke Kitahara and others fighting desperately to avenge their "father" was admirable, Aoto was completely unmoved.
Out of a simple sense of justice, Qingden had never had a good impression of Yakuza, who acted unscrupulously and relied on torturing the weak to survive.
The benevolence and righteousness of Kitahara Konosuke and others surprised Aoto - that's all.
Apart from being surprised, no other emotions emerged in Qingden's heart.
His blade is still sharp, and his offensive is still merciless!
Under Aoto's fierce attack, only 10 enemies, including Kitahara Konosuke, were still standing.
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a strange noise coming from behind.
He turned and looked back.
boom!
The sound of pistol firing echoed in the deep night sky.
