I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 1081: The duel between the generals, the absolute suppression of the King of Ren! [4800]

At first glance, Qing Deng thought it was a mountain of meat.

After looking carefully, I found that it was a person.

A huge body over 2 meters tall, exaggerated muscles that push up the clothes, worm-like blue veins all over the body... Although the other party undoubtedly has a human shape, this appearance is truly horrifying!

Rather than being human, it would be more accurate to say that they are monsters in human skin.

Ogata frowned slightly, stared at this "monster", and then made a surprised sound:
"Hmm? It's Xilika..."

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows:

"Is he Xilika? He looks... more majestic than I imagined."

Ogata said in a deep tone:

"Tachibana-kun, be careful. As far as I know, Xilika is not that tall."

After reuniting with Ogata, Ogata not only gave him detailed information about Maher, "Berserker Water" and other important information, but also gave him a concise introduction to Silica's personality.

Thanks to this, although Qingdeng had never met Xilika, the image of a serious, well-loved, ambitious tough guy took shape in his mind.

Qingdeng declined to comment on Xilika's ambition to "reclaim the ancestral land and revive the Ainu people."

If Qing Deng had to make a comment, the only thing he could say was "he has great ambitions, but he is incompetent."

"Yamato Conquest"... It sounds very impressive, but he misjudged the power comparison between the enemy and us. He overestimated the combat effectiveness of the "Ainu Coalition" and underestimated Qing Deng's ability.

In the end, it was all his own fault that he ended up like this.

Even without Ogata's reminder, Qing Deng knew that there was something strange about Xilika at the moment.

It is impossible for a normal human being to grow to such a mountain-like body size.

He must have drunk some magic potion, Qing Deng thought to himself.

Considering that Mahel can provide the magical "Berserker Water", it is not surprising that he can also give away other, more powerful potions.

Because the Xilika at the moment was too strange, Qing Deng and Ogata both adopted a cautious attitude and did not rush forward.

"Here he comes..."

The hoarse voice echoed in the empty room.

Xilika slowly raised his head and stared at the two people opposite him without any sadness or joy.

He first looked Qing Deng up and down:
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be 'Niou' Tachibana Aoto? And you..."

Xilika turned his gaze to Ogata, with some indescribable emotions in his eyes.

"It's you... 'Ilankili'."

Upon hearing this pseudonym that was made up to infiltrate Goryokaku, Ogata's face showed a hint of surprise.

He did not take off the turban on his head or the veil on his face, and only his eyes were exposed.

He had only met Xilika once and chatted with him for a few sentences, but the other party could recognize him just by looking at his eyes... This really surprised Ogata.

Since his identity had been discovered by Xilika, Ogata was too lazy to pretend to be confused.

"Xilika, how did you know it was mine?"

Xilika twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I remember your eyes...your eyes were calm yet sharp, very different from those of ordinary people."

"And... the series of questions you asked me at that time put me in a moment of embarrassment, so I remember you."

"Have you surrendered to Kazuto? Or have you always served Kazuto?"

Without waiting for Ogata's reply, Xilika continued on his own:

"Forget it... This kind of problem doesn't matter anymore."

He turned to look at Qing Deng again:
"I have long heard of your name, 'Niou' Tachibana Aoto. According to what you and others say... I am the enemy's general, Silika."

Qing Deng looked indifferent.

He had no interest in talking to Xilika.

Therefore, he skipped the unnecessary pleasantries and got straight to the point:
"Xilika, surrender."

"My troops have already invaded the city in large numbers. It won't be long before they completely wipe out the entire city."

"You have already failed. Fighting further will only result in more casualties."

"Even if you turn yourself into a half-human, half-ghost appearance, you will not be my opponent."

Qing Deng spoke directly and without any euphemism.

Faced with Qingdeng's blatant coercion, Xilika remained calm.

Neither angry nor sad.

He just nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Niou, you are right, we are completely defeated..."

"A 'Uenkamuyi' like me should not exist in this world."

"I rashly started this war for my own selfish reasons."

"But my desire to make the Ainu people stronger and more prosperous is also real."

"In that case, let me...struggle until the last moment."

After saying that, he stretched out his left arm, grasped the red scabbard sword beside his leg, and slowly stood up.

What Xilika just said was confusing and Qing Deng didn't quite understand.

However, he could clearly sense the surging murderous aura from him!

"...Mr. Ogata, please step back."

Ogata seemed to have expected this and asked calmly:
"Don't you need my help?"

"No need. Although he is an enemy, his determination to fight to the end is admirable."

"He is the enemy's general, and I am the general of the shogunate. Let the two of us have a fair fight."

After hearing this, Ogata said no more, silently stepped back to make room, and put the Great Shitian in his palm back into the sheath.

Qing Deng leaned forward and slowly approached Xilika.

Xilika on the opposite side also took slow steps and walked straight towards Qingdeng, closing the gap.

In a short while, the two stood face to face in the middle of the large room, 4 meters apart.

Choking, choking, choking, choking…

Xilika held the sheath in one hand and drew the sword with the other. The slender blade, more than 80 centimeters long, jumped into Qingdeng's eyes, emitting a dazzling white light.

Tachi... Qing Deng has been through hundreds of battles and has seen all kinds of enemies, but it is rare to encounter an opponent who specializes in Tachi.

The tachi is a special weapon from a special era. Its prototype can be traced back to the Heian period (794-1185). At that time, cavalry warfare was the main form of warfare, and the tachi became popular because of its length, which made it suitable for fighting on horseback.

As the form of warfare continued to change, swinging a sword on horseback became an outdated practice, and the katana also declined.

Nowadays, swordsmen who have studied and mastered the art of katana are rare.

After drawing the sword from its sheath, Xilika held the sword in front of him, with the sword in his hand standing upright in front of his chest. Looking from the front, the sharp blade seemed to split his figure into two halves, giving a unique sense of oppression.

"Yin Flow"

"Sirika"

Seeing the other party introduce his family name according to the Wu family etiquette, Qing Deng followed up slowly:

"Naturally Rishin flow"

"Orange Green"

In an instant, the surroundings became extremely quiet.

The orange-red sunlight penetrated the window and shone into the room, and fairy-like dust filled the air.

Under the glow of the setting sun, only half of their faces were illuminated, while the other half was stained with a deep color, and their eyes flickered.

From muscles to mentality... everything in their bodies was mobilized and thrown into the battle in front of them!

The heavy atmosphere created by the confrontation between the two made the flow of time at the scene become strange.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact only 5 seconds had passed. 5 seconds later, a huge stomping sound shattered the silence at the scene!

Xilika leaped up like a ferocious beast, raised his knife above his head, and then chopped it down fiercely!

Qing Deng squatted slightly, and the sword in his hand drew an arc upward, passing through the air, accurately intercepting the blade of the sword and neutralizing the attack.

When the two knives collided, a strong shock wave erupted, and all the light dust in the surrounding air was shaken away!

The tremendous force transmitted back along the blade caused Qing Deng's face to change slightly.

When Qing Deng saw the opponent's terrifying physique like a "big muscle man", he expected that his strength must be extraordinary.

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, the opponent's strength was still far beyond his expectations.

——The power is great...but how about the speed?
Thinking of this, Qing Deng adjusted his breathing slightly, then twisted his wrists, and there was a clanging "click" sound. With skillful technique, he moved the sword to the side, and Xilika's body was wide open.

The next moment, Qing Deng slid forward and raised the knife in his hand diagonally upwards.

Although it was a tentative move, if you couldn't block it, your chest would be cut open.

But Xilika stepped back calmly, widened the distance between them again, and pulled the sword back to his chest at an astonishing speed to block Qingdeng's attack.

With such a huge body, it can perform such agile movements... According to common sense, this is simply impossible.

But such an incredible scene happened right in front of Qing Deng.

Not only strength, but also speed should not be underestimated... Qing Deng silently made a new assessment of Xilika's strength.

The opponent's strength was far beyond expectations...the same was true for Xilika.

The first round ended with the two of them testing each other.

As if they were bounced away, the two of them jumped back at the same time, leaving a distance of about ten meters between them.

The spacious hall provided enough space for them to fight to their heart's content.

Qing Deng and Xilika stared at each other from a distance... After a few seconds, they took a step almost at the same time.

It was not a gallop, nor a trot, but a normal walk.

The same stride, the same speed, the same moving distance... When the distance between them was 2 meters, Qingdeng and Xilika both stopped.

In an instant, they swung their blades at the same time, and fierce sword lights and shadows danced between the two of them.

Relying on his huge body that was "accelerated" by the "Essence of Berserker" and the length of his katana that was far longer than his katana, Xilika tried to suppress Qingdeng with his attack distance.

Qing Deng saw through Xilika's intention at a glance and never gave him the chance to widen the distance. He always stuck closely to him, preventing him from taking advantage of his "long arms".

The two swordsmen fought together, creating waves that were higher than the last.

The tatami was overturned, a huge cut was left on the wooden pillar, and the sharp sword energy broke through the sunset glow...

Xilika launched an offensive. His physical strength seemed to be endless. He struck one blow after another almost without stopping.

Qing Deng took a defensive stance, calm and composed, watching Xilika's sword movements and resolving them one by one, countering every move and making sure to counter every move.

While observing Xilika's swordsmanship, he was thinking about how to subdue him.

Qing Deng had a lot of questions to ask Xilika, so he had no intention of killing him, he just wanted to capture him alive.

This will undoubtedly add difficulty to this confrontation.

In order to ensure the life of the opponent, there are many deadly killing moves that cannot be used.

Qing Deng didn't know if Xilika also had extraordinary vitality like those "medicine jars" who drank the "Berserker Water". Anyway, try to cut those non-lethal places first.

After making up his mind, Qing Deng secretly exhaled, then immediately changed his stance, turning from defense to offense!
He stepped on his hind legs hard, accelerated his body, and moved his knife along with his arm, slashing towards Xilika's left shoulder.

Xilika's pupils constricted, and he leaned back to dodge subconsciously, but he was still a beat too slow. Vairocana's blade cut a deep wound on his left shoulder. Although it was not fatal, a lot of blood was inevitable.

However, only a few drops of blood flowed, and the flesh around the wound quickly closed like a cut surface of water, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Qing Deng's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear clearly:
"It's a little different from Mr. Ogata's 'Power of Immortality'..."

Xilika's regeneration method is very different from Ogata's.

When Ogata's wound regenerates, a large number of worm-like flesh threads will grow. These flesh threads will blend and entangle with each other, "weaving" the wound like weaving clothes.

At this moment, Ogata, who was standing by and watching the battle attentively, lowered his eyelids slightly and cast an extremely solemn and serious look at Xilika - anything involving the "immortal power" would arouse his extreme vigilance.

Qing Deng's guess was right. Xili Ka did have extraordinary vitality, and it was an extremely terrifying vitality! Even the wounds from being cut could be healed quickly!
"The opponents I've faced recently are all strange 'monsters'..."

Qing Deng moved his neck, making teeth-grinding "crackling" sounds - he had finished warming up.

Xilika glanced at the place where he was cut and lowered his face.

Perhaps to make up for his recent defeat, he tightly gripped the sword in his hand and attacked with the force of a raging wave!

The air around them was once again filled with sparks from the two knives colliding.

The two of them went back and forth, sometimes colliding head-on, sometimes exchanging positions, it was dazzling.

Qing Deng only knew a little about the basics of katana.

Because Tachibana was born in the Heian period when mounted warfare was popular, it was impossible to use complex techniques while sitting astride a horse, so Tachibana is very pure and has no complicated moves. Just chop and that's it!

Therefore, Xilika's swordsmanship is quite simple, which is to chop horizontally and vertically, and go straight forward!

The simpler the moves, the more basic skills they require.

And Xilika happens to be the type with very solid basic skills.

Whether it is the sword-wielding technique or the grasp of the timing of attack, all are remarkable.

Qing Deng guessed: Even if he didn't become this half-human, half-ghost appearance, Xilika in his "normal" state would most likely be a first-rate swordsman.

For an Ainu to be able to practice Japanese sword techniques to this level...it's truly rare.

Of course, if he wants to fight against Qing Deng, his level is still too much.

At the moment, only his strength could be compared with Qing Deng. In other aspects such as agility and skills, he was far behind Qing Deng.

In order to suppress Qing Deng, Xilika gritted his teeth, shouted and raised his sword above his head, ready to launch his proud "Seven Consecutive Cuts" - this was the maximum number of consecutive cuts that Xilika could perform in one go.

Qing Deng saw through Xilika's moves at a glance, stood on tiptoe, and relaxed the muscles of his whole body.

“Drink aaaaaaaa——!”

With a deafening roar, Xilika swung the knife in his hand with all his might, and the blade made a sound.

Facing the incoming slash, Qing Deng dodged it lightly.

Before the attack was over, Xilika immediately swung the second knife... Qingdeng dodged it again.

The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife... one knife after another. Xilika kept swinging his knife.

The third blow, the fourth blow, the fifth blow... one after another. Qing Deng kept dodging.

When Xilika swung the seventh knife, Qingdeng no longer dodged - he moved quickly, dodged under the falling blade, and got out from under Xilika's left armpit, and the two of them exchanged sleeves.

When they passed each other, Qing Deng silently left a trail of knife light behind him.

The knife light swept across Xilika's chest, and the flesh and blood burst open, revealing the bones... no, even the sternum was cut open!
Such a serious injury is undoubtedly fatal.

But the scene that appeared next was exactly the same as before - the wound closed quickly and healed quickly.

However, Qing Deng keenly noticed that its recovery speed was not as fast as before.

"Even this can't do anything to you... Looks like I'll have to chop you a few more times."

Qing Deng said this as he turned his right wrist to shake off the remaining blood on the blade.

Xilika covered his chest where the bones were visible just now, his face turned blue and white, and he stared at Qingdeng behind him with a complicated expression.

"Kazuto's strongest warrior... He really lives up to his reputation..."

Qing Deng smiled calmly:
"The world is big. No matter when or where I am, I dare not call myself the 'strongest'."

When hearing the humble words "the world is a big place", Xilika's eyes, which were full of fighting spirit, regained some clarity, as if he recalled something worth remembering.

However, in just a moment, the clarity of mind quickly dissipated, and he roared and attacked Qingdeng again.

This time, Qing Deng did not adopt the strategy of "defending and waiting to attack", but took the initiative to wield the swift blade.

Xilika was completely unable to react in time and could only try to catch it with great difficulty... but he failed to catch it, and the tip of Vairocana's knife cut the carotid artery in his neck.
