I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Page 1629

The "brush of blades" that was orderly just a second ago has suddenly descended into chaos.

The man in the lead instinctively thrust his knife straight at Qing Deng—with a whoosh—it pierced Qing Deng's chest.

But the blade only pierced through Qing Deng's afterimage in vain.

Before he could sheathe his sword, the head flew a great distance away—at this moment, Qing Deng had already appeared several meters away.

Qingdeng maintained his reverse grip on the knife, charging back and forth with unstoppable courage!

Holding the sword with a reverse grip... According to the traditional concepts of Japanese Kendo, this way of holding a sword is simply heretical.

However, precisely because so few people have ever seen such a knife-wielding technique, they were all at a loss when faced with Qing Deng's "heretical offensive."

For a time, many people were too busy adapting to take effective measures.

Some people have lost their livelihood.

Some were covered in blood and collapsed to the ground.

Some had already stopped breathing, but their lower bodies instinctively supported their upper bodies, and they staggered forward a few steps.

And so... Qingdeng stormed through the "White Blade Forest" and broke through the encirclement in the blink of an eye.

Shintaro Toujou stayed close behind Aoto the whole time, protecting Aoto's back while taking care of any enemies Aoto missed.

Aoto's goal was clear—he had his sights set on Yoshida Toshima from the very beginning.

"To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king" is an eternal truth.

Moreover, after seeing that Niou had arrived and the plan had failed, the morale of these patriots was already low. They only managed to maintain their fighting spirit thanks to the encouragement from Yoshida Toshima and others.

Once Yoshida Toshima is killed, the rest will be much easier; it will simply be a matter of wiping out the remaining enemies and pursuing the fleeing enemy.

At this very moment, Yoshida Toshima was hiding deep within the "blade cluster," shouting and giving orders with all his might.

As Qingdeng continued to penetrate deeper into the "blade cluster," the distance between the two sides gradually closed.

Soon, Aoto was only 10 meters away from Yoshida Minoru.

For Qingdeng, such a distance is just a blink of an eye!

In the blink of an eye, Qing Deng swiftly shook off the enemies around him and rushed straight towards Yoshida Minoru! He was about to pounce on him!

The fanatics gathered around Yoshida Minoru suddenly drew their knives and charged out like a torrent bursting its banks.

Qingdeng did not choose to engage in a direct confrontation.

He skillfully changed his steps, turned left, and walked quickly to the left.

"Quick, chase him! Don't let him get away!"

They brandished swords, roared, and gave chase.

I had no idea that I had fallen into Qingdeng's trap.

The originally tight formation gradually became loose and disordered during the pursuit.

Qingdeng, who had been observing the battlefield out of the corner of his eye, saw that his goal had been achieved, immediately stopped and turned to attack!

He slipped through the gaps between these people, nimbly dodging their blades, and moved from the front to the back of the line in one breath—leaving behind him a dozen or so flashes of light.

The flash of the blades faded, and the enemy ranks scattered.

Those people, spitting blood, fell to the ground one after another.

Without even looking behind him, Aoto lunged at Yoshida Toshima again.

Although several more people stepped forward to block him, they were all instantly killed by Qing Deng.

Seeing Aoto rapidly approaching, Yoshida Toshima did not back down. He still looked like a madman, with a fierce expression on his face, and resolutely raised the knife in his hand.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a short, sharp cry, the blade slashed down.

Qing Deng suddenly swung his hand, and the two steel swords clashed in mid-air, directly deflecting Yoshida Minoru's slash.

The opponent was indeed no ordinary person. In the blink of an eye, he pulled the knife back to his hand, his stance perfectly steady.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his sword at Qingdeng again, launching a relentless attack.

It seems he really is risking his life.

This kind of fighting style completely disregards life and death.

That's why he unleashed power far beyond what was ordinary.

For a moment, he managed to suppress Qingdeng—of course, this was only temporary.

After only a few rounds, Qingdeng adapted to the opponent's offensive.

The two exchanged blows, their shifting positions dazzling the eye.

Suddenly, Qingdeng lowered his blade and cut down to the lower section, the blade drooping like a dog's tail.

Yoshida Toshima attacked recklessly.

He feigned an attack on Qing Deng's face, but actually slashed at his right arm.

Qing Deng had already seen through his little scheme.

Qing Deng narrowed his eyes and charged forward with lightning speed.

To onlookers, it appeared as if two figures were rapidly overlapping.

In just a moment, they were separated—Aoto stood unharmed, while Yoshida Toshima, who had been slashed away, fell more than 10 meters away.

Chapter 829 Qingdeng Gains Another Batch of Female Fans [5200]

The long-awaited new talent startled Qing Deng.

"May you have a son soon +5"... You can tell what kind of talent it is just by looking at the name.

This talent, while not entirely useless, is not exactly a path to great achievement either.

After all, Qingdeng's fertility is not bad.

Not long after their marriage, both Sanako and Ama became pregnant.

Therefore, this talent is at most an added bonus for Qing Deng.

However, with this talent, perhaps it can effectively counteract Souji's "difficulty in conceiving".

At that moment, for some reason, Qing Deng suddenly thought of Tenshōin Atsuhime.

After his sparring match with Tenshōin, the talent he copied from him was "many children, many blessings".

The ability is to "make it easier to give birth to healthy and outstanding children".

Because this talent only applies to females, it cannot be applied to Qingdeng.

Qing Deng couldn't help but think: Now that he possessed the "early birth of a son +5" blessing, if he were to marry Tian Zhangyuan, who possessed the "many children, many blessings" blessing, wouldn't that be...?

Before the thought could linger, Qingdeng couldn't help but chuckle.

To marry the "reigning empress dowager"... such a thing could never happen unless the shogunate collapsed.

Qingdeng suppressed his joy at "possessing a new talent," gently shook his head, and cleared his mind of distractions.

Then, he turned to look at Yoshida Toshima, who had already landed.

Just now, he launched an attack from the lower section, unleashing a reverse kasaya slash. With the force of the blade, he forcefully broke the opponent's sword. Then, with the remaining momentum of the blade, he struck the opponent's vital area in the waist and abdomen, sending him flying more than 10 meters away.

Despite the outcome being decided, whether due to the tenacity of life or the strength of will, Yoshida Toshima did not die immediately.

He propped himself up with the broken sword, groaning incoherently as he struggled to sit up.

His eyes were bloodshot, frighteningly red, and his face was filled with resentment and anger as he stared fiercely at Qingdeng, as if he wanted to pierce through Qingdeng's body with his gaze.

"Damn it... lackey...!"

Qing Deng said calmly:

"Isn't your vocabulary far too limited? You keep using the word 'lackey' all the time, I'm tired of hearing it. Can't you come up with some more novel terms?"

Yoshida Minoru coughed a few times and vomited a large amount of blood.

A deathly aura had appeared on his cheeks, and his pupils had begun to dilate.

With his last ounce of strength, he spoke haltingly:

"You...just...wait and see...!"

"You think...we're the only enemy you have...?"

"The Imperial Court... Satsuma... Tosa... Hizen... aren't they all... eyeing us covetously...?"

"You are now... walking on thin ice..."

"I only regret... that I died here..."

"Otherwise...I will definitely...see with my own eyes...how long your... 'balance'...can last..."

Even if... we are all killed... we cannot kill... all the patriots in the world...!

In response to Yoshida Toshima's sarcasm, Aoto calmly replied:

"Then bring it on!"
