I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

boom!

A sudden gunshot signaled the start of the battle!

"Follow me!"

"kill!"

"Defeat them!"

Using the forward positions captured yesterday as a springboard, the Shinsengumi soldiers charged one after another toward the mountaintop!

Looking up, it resembles a surging, light green wave!

Qingdeng, carrying the Bizen Nagasawa, took the lead.

Soon, the enemy's figure came into view—an enemy soldier raised his flintlock pistol and fired a shot at Qingdeng's chest.

Qingdeng observed the opponent's movements, slightly twisted his body, and effortlessly dodged the bullet.

As he dodged, he raised the Bizen Nagafune in his hand—the next instant, the blade drew a cold arc in mid-air.

Qing Deng aimed for the opponent's chest.

He thought this move was a sure thing.

But the result—

clang!

With a piercing clang of metal striking metal, Qing Deng's sword was blocked!

The moment Qing Deng swung his sword, his opponent swiftly dropped his flintlock pistol, drew his sword from his waist, and parried—though it was a struggle, he did manage to block Qing Deng's strike!

Although this was just a casual slash from Qing Deng, it was not something an ordinary person could easily withstand...

Although Qing Deng was surprised, as a seasoned swordsman, he quickly regained his composure.

His gaze narrowed slightly, and with lightning speed, he pulled the Bizen Osafune back to his side.

Sheathing the sword, gathering power, and slashing out—the three movements are completed in one smooth motion!

This time, he used his real skill in the strike!

Neither its cutting speed nor its power can compare to that attack from before.

Although the opponent tried his best to block, he was still a beat too slow.

With a hiss, the blade of the Bizen Osafune sliced ​​open its belly, spilling its entrails all over the ground.

Qingdeng once again demonstrated his ability to "disregard the whole person," his blade only cutting flesh and blood, not bones.

The other person had only a spine connecting their upper and lower body, and after swaying a few times, they fell to the ground.

Logically speaking, after suffering such severe injuries, there should be no way he could get up again; he could only lie on the ground and wait to die.

The indescribable pain and the gushing blood were enough to render a person incapable of moving.

However... what happened next was unbelievable!

After swaying a few times, the opponent actually steadied himself, then let out a howl and charged at Qingdeng with his knife!

The gleaming blade plunged straight into Qing Deng's chest!

The unexpected turn of events caused Qingdeng's expression to change slightly.

Fortunately, this level of change was not even a crisis for Qingdeng.

Talent "Godspeed +7" activated!

His body moved before his mind could react, stepping half a step to the right to dodge the opponent's stab, and then with a backhand stab, he pierced the opponent's throat.

At this point, the opponent finally lost the ability to resist. After twitching a few times, the body completely lost its life and hung limply on Qing Deng's knife.

With only a few bones and flesh connecting his upper and lower body, he was still able to fight back... Such an unusual fighting spirit exudes a strong and eerie aura!

Qing Deng lowered his head, raised his head and looked around, and was shocked to find that enemy soldiers in such a strange state were scattered all over the battlefield!

"Damn it! How can these guys be so tenacious!"

"Watch out! This guy's not dead yet!"

"How is that possible! I clearly pierced his chest!"

As soon as the battle began, the soldiers gradually discovered that the enemy soldiers in front of them were extraordinary!

First of all, their physical abilities became extremely strong!

Strength, agility, focus, reaction speed... all functions have increased significantly!

Secondly, their fighting spirit became terrifying!

Even if pierced through the chest or disemboweled, it will not fall easily!

So...so...so it's as if they're not afraid of pain at all!

Faced with this group of suddenly changed opponents, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the captains suffered heavy losses!

"Drink up!"

With a shout, Todo Heisuke raised his sword to the upper right and unleashed a standard Kesa-giri, striking the upper body of an enemy soldier squarely.

The other person's chest was split in two like a seashell, exposing the white bones and gushing blood.

Normally, with such severe injuries, death would be imminent.

Therefore, Todo Heisuke ignored the other party, withdrew his attention from him, turned his body to the side, and prepared to deal with the next enemy soldier—it was this moment of carelessness that almost cost him his life!

call!

The blade gleamed. The sudden sound of a sword being swung made Toudou Heisuke's face change color instantly!

Despite the huge gash across his chest, the other person did not fall to the ground!

Instead of falling to the ground, he swung his knife in retaliation!

The blade traced an arc, slashing towards Toudou Heisuke's neck.

Heisuke Todo's reaction speed was far inferior to that of Aoto.

Although he instinctively took a step back, he was still a beat too slow.

He dodged the fatal blow and saved his neck, but not his left shoulder—the tip of the opponent's knife grazed his left shoulder, and the gushing blood instantly stained his light blue haori.

Because he dodged too hastily, Toudou Heisuke's stance was extremely chaotic. After dodging the opponent's slash, he failed to regain his balance in time and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Todo Heisuke had fallen to the ground, the opponent did not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately took half a step forward, closed the distance, raised his sword overhead, and prepared to strike a second time.

But just as he raised the knife in his hand to mid-air, about to strike, as if a videotape had been stopped, his body suddenly froze—a knife pierced his throat from behind.

This thing looked just like a robot that had run out of power; it could no longer move, its eyes bulged forward, and it stopped breathing completely.

The person who saved Todo Heisuke at this critical moment was none other than Souji.

The commander gripped the sword tightly in his hand, then casually swung it to the right, throwing the opponent's corpse off the blade.

Still shaken, Toudou Heisuke glanced at the commander before him, then at the enemy soldier lying at his feet, and muttered to himself:

"Sōji... thank you..."

"Alright, no need for formalities, please stand up."

While assuming a resolute stance, the commander remained vigilant and alert to his surroundings.

How is your injury?

"It's just a cut, nothing serious."

Heisuke Todo, leaning on his sword, hurriedly stood up.

"Sōji, be careful! There's something fishy about these guys!"

"Yes, I see..."

After saying that, the commander subconsciously turned his head to look for Qing Deng's figure.

Qingdeng's figure was not hard to find at all.

Because he was fighting alongside Nagakura Shinpachi, surrounded by enemy soldiers—and enemy soldiers were lying at his feet as well.

P.S.: Historically, Takasugi Shinsaku, like Okita Souji, also suffered from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was particularly prevalent at that time, and it's unclear why.

Chapter 933 The Three Newly Selected Heroes of Niou, Deployed! [4200]

"Watch out! He's the Second Division Captain, Nagakura Shinpachi!"

"Go together!"

"Don't give him a chance to breathe!"

Several swords and bayonets attacked Nagakura Shinpachi from different directions.

As a swordsman of the Shinto Munen-ryu school, Nagakura Shinpachi's fighting style is all about simplicity and brutality!

He calmly rolled his eyes, scanning his surroundings to confirm the positions of the enemies, then, while steadying the handle of the Bozhou garrison in his hand, he shouted:

"Anyone who's tired of living, come forward! I, Nagakura Shinpachi, will see you off!"

Having said that, he took a deep breath, focused his strength on his waist, and effortlessly cut down the first enemy soldier in front of him. Then he turned his sword to the right and killed the second enemy soldier on his right.

As he sheathed the knife, the third man fell to the ground.
