I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Date Korokuro is defeated!

With five players reduced to four, Qing Deng's pressure was greatly reduced, and his counterattack power increased accordingly.

"ah--!"

Date Renshichiro raised his sword and struck hard.

The scenes that followed filled his field of vision with clear and distinct detail.

He saw the bamboo sword in his hand draw a diagonal line in mid-air and slash straight at Qing Deng's body.

He saw that Qingdeng had disappeared.

He saw a bamboo sword thrust out from his blind spot, aimed at his chest.

Then... he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then saw himself flying backward.

Then, what he saw was the vast sky that appeared before him as he fell backward.

Date Shinshichiro was defeated!

If he had more companions, Date Renshichiro might have been able to "survive" a little longer because Aoto Teng didn't make a move.

Now, with the successive defeats of Hashimoto Shozo and others, Aoto has ample energy to take down Date Nijiro, the weakest of the group.

Currently, only Koichi Date, Shinji Date, and Togoro Ishikawa remain "alive".

While distracted by the attacks of Date Koichi and Ishikawa Togoro, Aoto focused on dealing with Date Shinji.

Noticing that he was being watched, Ida Shin's eyes widened, his temples bulged, and he struggled to hold on.

Swords flashed, dust flew.

In professional Kendo terminology, the sword technique Qing Deng is currently using is a typical "Chaotic Cart Blade".

The word "chariot" refers to the act of wielding a knife and making moves, while "chaos" refers to its unpredictability.

The so-called "chaotic sword technique" refers to a sword style with no fixed moves, where one acts at will. Its essence is to respond to all changes with unpredictable and chaotic strikes.

Qingdeng's bamboo sword sometimes slashed downwards, sometimes diagonally, and sometimes horizontally; sometimes extremely fast, sometimes slowed down, and sometimes feinted... there was no discernible pattern to it.

Ida Shinji had never seen such exquisite "chaotic knife" before, so he was exhausted and his originally perfect defensive stance gradually showed flaws.

In an instant, a loud bang was heard—Ita Shinji's bamboo sword was knocked away—the next moment, Aoto's bamboo sword swung back in the opposite direction, striking Ita Shinji in the waist and abdomen.

Itahin II, defeated!

After defeating Date Shinji, Aoto suddenly pulled his sword to the left, then fell to the left with his sword, leaning forward to attack Ishikawa Togoro on his left.

The attack came with great force. Ishikawa Togoro tried to deal with it, but he couldn't keep up with Qing Deng's sword speed at all!

Snapped!

Another dull thud as a bamboo sword struck a human body.

Ishikawa Togoro was defeated!

At this point, Aoto's only remaining opponent is Date Koichi.

Although the battle is not over yet, the result is already clear—all seven of the "Seven Spears of Immortal State" are still helpless against Qing Deng! Only Date Koichi is left. What can he do?

Despite the outcome being decided, Koichi Date did not concede defeat.

He put on a stern face, displaying the tragic and heroic spirit of a cornered beast, and charged forward with his spear in a final desperate attempt.

His spirit was commendable, but ultimately futile; his bravery ended there.

Qing Deng didn't use any skills or moves—he simply swung his sword and fiercely chopped at the tip of Date Koichi's spear, causing him to lose his grip on the shaft, the spear almost flying into the air, and his body wide open.

What needs to be done next is quite simple.

He closed in, swung his sword, and felled to the ground.

Koichi Date was defeated!

The "Seven Spears of Immortal Continent" were all defeated!

An absolute victory created by Niou without any setbacks!

In fact, judging from the final result, the "Seven Spears of Immortal State" were not completely incompetent. They accomplished something that many martial artists of the Aoyu Kingdom had not been able to do—after the battle, Qing Deng had a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

That's all.

Apart from being slightly sweaty, Qingdeng showed no abnormalities, not even his breathing was disordered.

At this moment, Qing Deng mimicked the action of sheathing a sword, holding the bamboo sword upside down at his left waist. Then, without even glancing at the seven people on the ground, he turned around and walked back to the VIP seats, back to the side of Date Qingbang, who was pale and dumbfounded.

Chapter 1018

VIP Seating

"……male."

Ita Keibang heard a sound coming from afar.

"...Lord Ao."

The sound gradually drew closer.

"...Lord Mutsu".

It was Qing Deng's voice.

"Lord Mutsu!"

Date Keibang's body trembled violently several times, then he turned his head as if waking from a dream and stared blankly at Aoto.

Qing Deng called out to him four times before he regained consciousness.

Upon meeting Qingdeng's gaze, it was as if he had touched boiling water; he quickly looked away and stared intently at his toes, his face filled with panic.

Seven losses, not a single victory... This result was hard for him to accept!

The competition just now was his last hope.

However, when all seven of them went up, they were easily defeated by Qing Deng!

Seven against one, the only result was that Qing Deng broke out in a slight sweat... Although it was humiliating, rationally speaking, Date Qingbang could barely accept this outcome.

After all, the opponent was Nioh, so it wouldn't be surprising if it ended in a crushing defeat.

What Ida Keibun found truly unbearable was the defeat in the previous six matches!

Even with elite troops like Date Shinji and Hashimoto Shozo on the field, they were no match for captains like Kondo Isami and Nagakura Shinpachi!

—The difference is so huge…!

At this thought, Date Keibang couldn't help but feel despair.

Before this, he believed from the bottom of his heart that even if the overall strength of the "Seven Spears of Senshu" was not as good as that of the Shinsengumi captains, they could still win one or two rounds.

Unexpectedly... his generals, on whom he had placed high hopes, suffered defeat after defeat!

This only makes Date Shinshichiro's boast last night, "If we show our true abilities, we will definitely beat the Shinsengumi captains to a pulp," all the more ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Ita Keibang felt his cheeks burning.

If Date Shichiro were standing right in front of him, he would have loved to jump up and strangle him.

It's one thing for him to make a foolish mistake, but he also dragged his lord down with him and caused him to be humiliated!

Now, Date Keibang really didn't know what to do.

Not only did they fail to resolve last night's incident, but they also publicly exposed the incompetence of the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou"... losing both their wife and their army.

In fact, at this moment, the crushing defeat of the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" also brought great shock to the other vassal lords present.

They did not feel contempt because of the "Seven Spears of Senshu's" crushing defeat—because they had eyes and knew that it wasn't that the "Seven Spears of Senshu" were too weak, but that the captains of the Shinsengumi were too strong!

Sendai Domain is the largest domain in Ōu, possessing the largest territory, the most wealth, and the most abundant educational resources in Ōu.

Therefore, the samurai of the Sendai Domain were the most disciplined in Oku.

The "Seven Spears of Sendai," which stood out among countless samurai in the Sendai Domain, symbolize the martial spirit of Sendai—and in a sense, the martial spirit of Oshu.
