I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

boom!

The two of them released their "power" at the same time!

The two forces merged together, pressing down on Tu Fang and his men like a mountain collapsing!

Apart from Hijikata and Saito, who remained standing upright, everyone else involuntarily took a step or even several steps back.

Two swordsmen who have reached the level of "momentum" release their "momentum" together... How rare and magnificent is such a scene?

Instantly, Hijikata and the others' faces changed color.

At the same time, gasps of amazement rose and fell from the audience.

Ordinary people who don't understand don't know what "momentum" is, but they can sense that the aura of Aoto and Souji has changed, becoming awe-inspiring.

As the saying goes, "The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details."

For knowledgeable people like Kondo Shusuke, Kiryu, and the Chiba family, the fact that Aoto and Souji could unleash such a powerful aura at such a young age was even more astonishing.

"Hehehehe~~"

Kondo Shusuke stroked his smooth chin, laughing "hohoho," his already small eyes narrowing even more.

Chiba Sadakichi and Chiba Michizaburo both fell into deep thought.

Chiba Jutaro raised an eyebrow, looking surprised, and muttered to himself:

"Tachibana-kun and Souji's 'momentum' has grown stronger again..."

Sanako stared intently at Souji on the field.

Despite his efforts to conceal it, a deep envy still shone through his eyes.

Kiryu's attention was focused on something else—at the same time that Aoto released his "power," his chest rose and fell in a peculiar rhythm.

Seeing this, a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on Mr. Kiryu's old face.

……

Hijikata and the others assumed fighting stances, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Qingdeng steadied his bamboo sword and began his stance.

"Natural Flow of Mind"

"Orange Green Dew!"

The commander raised the sword in his hand toward "Ping Qingyan".

"Natural Flow of Mind"

“冲田总司！”

In the next instant, Qing Deng kicked up dust and rushed straight towards Inoue Genzaburo, who was closest to him!

At the same instant, Souji leaped into the air without a running start and pounced straight at Toudou Heisuke!

This was a battle with an extremely unequal number of players, "two against seven".

As it turned out, it was Aoto and Souji, who were outnumbered, who launched the attack.

However, anyone who sees the fierce and ruthless appearance of Aoto and Souji will inevitably have the same feeling: what is attacking Hijikata and the others does not seem to be two swordsmen, but thousands of troops!

In an instant, Qing Deng flashed to Inoue Genzaburo's side and swung his sword to fiercely slash at the opponent's bamboo sword.

Unable to dodge in time, Inoue Genzaburo had no choice but to draw his sword and meet the attack.

"Lone Courage +3", "Gathering Spirit", "Tiger's Arm +3", "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers", "Elephant's Core +3", "Bear's Waist +3"... The power of this series of talents was instantly condensed in Qing Deng's bamboo sword, and then it exploded at the moment it clashed with Inoue's bamboo sword!

Snapped--!

Despite the astonishing reaction force transmitted back along the sword, Qing Deng remained completely still, his feet firmly planted on the ground like coiled dragons.

In contrast, Inoue was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a large truck, his feet carving two wide and deep furrows in the ground.

The bamboo sword in his hand resembled a live fish just pulled from the sea, "jumping" wildly, as if it might "leap" out of his palm at any moment.

Aoto gave Inoue Genzaburo no chance to catch his breath, nor did he give anyone else the opportunity to interfere.

He leaped up like a spring from dry land and caught up with Inoue Genzaburo, who had just regained his footing.

With his fingers swollen and his arms almost numb, how could Inoue Genzaburo possibly handle Aoto's pursuit?

Click!

The porcelain bowl on Inoue Genzaburo's forehead shattered with a crack.

Inoue Genzaburo, who possessed the Menkyo Kaiden of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school and had more than ten years of training experience, couldn't even last two rounds against Aoto!

On the other side, Souji, Todo Heisuke, and Nagakura Shinpachi were fighting.

The petite, slender Souji, with hardly any flesh on her body except for her bear and peach, often leads unsuspecting people to mistake her for a "skillful" swordsman.

In reality, although Souji's swordsmanship skills are superb, her explosive physical strength is her real advantage!

Compared to the elegant "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds" tactic of defeating opponents with exquisite skills, she prefers the violent "overpowering all techniques" fighting style.

She aimed her sword at Todo Heisuke's porcelain bowl and swung it horizontally.

Toudou Heisuke leaned to the side, his left shoulder forward, and with all his might, he deflected Souji's bamboo sword—judging from the pained expression on his face, which was contorted with pain, he was finding it very difficult to defend against Souji's attack.

At this moment, Yongcang Xinba, who was guarding the side, stepped forward, revealing his high fighting spirit.

“哇啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！”

He struck Souji's body with his sword, but Souji lightly leaped to the side, dodging the attack.

With Souji jumping away, Nagakura Shinpachi's vision broadened.

Then... in this suddenly wide field of vision, Nagakura Shinpachi felt an even more vigorous fighting spirit than himself and saw a tall figure rapidly enlarging.

After dealing with Inoue Genzaburo, Aoto turned around to support Souji.

Aoto arrived—this scene caused Nagakura Shinpachi's facial expression to instantly become extremely serious and solemn beyond compare.

He immediately drew his bamboo sword to his chest, adopting a mid-range stance that allowed him to both attack and defend, offering the highest margin for error. His muscular body instantly disappeared into the shadow of the bamboo sword.

Yamanami Keisuke, Saito Hajime, and others stepped forward, intending to support Nagakura, but they were all intercepted by Souji.

In the blink of an eye, Qingdeng closed in on Yongcang, his bamboo sword, as supple as a whip, sweeping across his opponent.

Just like Inoue Genzaburo earlier, Nagakura had no time to dodge and could only stand his bamboo sword upright in the path of the blue bamboo sword—crack—both of their bamboo swords groaned under the strain.

Although Nagakura, who was known for his strength, was not directly knocked away like Inoue, he still had to take two full steps back before he could barely absorb Aoto's slash.

Qingdeng once again brandished his sword and slashed at Yongcang.

Nagakura gritted his teeth and stepped back, trying to dodge Aoto's attack.

However... it was still a step too late.

Click!

Nagakura Shinpachi was defeated!

At the same time, the commander-in-chief also achieved remarkable results.

She single-handedly stopped Hijikata, Yamanami, Saito, Harada, and Todo, creating an opportunity for Aoto to defeat Nagakura in a one-on-one fight.

While fighting five opponents alone, she also sent Toudou off the field—

Saito Hajime and Yamanami Keisuke launched a pincer attack on Souji, one from the left and one from the right.

The swords whistled, and the wind pressure surged.

The commander dodged it.

In the instant she dodged, her petite body glided forward, passing between the swords of Saito Hajime and Yamanami Keisuke, and closing in on Toudou Heisuke who was behind her.

Click!

Todo stood there, looking dazed.

The porcelain bowl on his forehead was shattered and scattered all over the ground.

Toudo Heisuke, defeated!

After dealing with Nagakura, Aoto immediately flashed back to Souji's side.

Hijikata, Yamanami, Saito, and Harada, who were still "alive," were locked in combat with the two.

The six figures moved sometimes quietly, and sometimes quickly.

Their bamboo swords, under the warm winter sun, transformed into blurry, indistinct afterimages.

"Ugh... Tachibana and Souji teaming up is really troublesome...!"

Tsuchifang let out an unhappy sigh.

Since the start of the battle, they have tried more than once to separate Aoto and Souji.

But without exception, all their efforts failed.
