I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Using a long weapon like a katana in such a confined space is extremely disadvantageous.

So instead of drawing out his orange juice, Qing Deng pulled out the wakizashi, which he rarely used.

The wakizashi, a secondary weapon used by samurai, was originally designed for use in confined spaces.

The enemy has begun their operation!

In the pitch black, the Taoist figures, as dark as ink, approached Qing Deng and Mu Shita.

Qing Deng shifted his body half a step to the side—he knew that this narrow environment was actually advantageous to him and Kinoshita Mai, who were outnumbered. The enemy was afraid of accidentally injuring their own comrades and dared not advance decisively.

Just as Qingdeng had predicted: although the enemy had pressed forward, they hesitated to launch an attack.

Qing Deng raised his gaze to observe the positions of the enemies in front of him.

There are three enemies standing in front of Qingdeng.

The enemy on the right is impatient and rushes forward too much. There is some distance between the enemy in front and on the left, while the enemy on the left keeps retreating.

After briefly observing the enemy's positions, Qingdeng launched the first attack!

He first took a step forward, swung his wakizashi, and slashed down at the samurai on his right who was standing too far forward, knocking him to the ground.

Then he turned to face the enemy wielding a katana in the center.

Before even engaging in a formal battle with this enemy, Qing Deng had already realized that the guy had made a rather fatal mistake—he had drawn the wrong weapon and shouldn't have used a katana.

This person was very tall, even taller than Qing Deng, nearly 1.8 meters, and yet he used a katana in such a narrow corridor...

Sure enough, this man quickly learned the hard way about the consequences of using a long weapon in a confined space.

"Waaaaahh ...

However, just as he raised his knife, he heard a muffled thud as the blade struck the ceiling above his head, the tip of which got stuck.

The knife hit the ceiling... Qingdeng certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

Qing Deng dodged past the man, simultaneously slashing his blade across the man's waist from below. Without even glancing at the fallen figure, Qing Deng lunged at the newly appeared enemy.

The fact that their numbers are fewer than those of people like the one with the birthmark... This is both a disadvantage and an advantage for Qingdeng.

His "lone wolf" talent had already been activated just moments ago!

Qing Deng, whose strength had increased dramatically from fighting multiple enemies at once, was like a tiger among sheep, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed four enemies!

Just as Qing Deng took down the fourth enemy, suddenly, a wakizashi slashed straight towards Qing Deng—it was that guy with the birthmark!

Qing Deng glanced at the path of the wakizashi's sword thrusting towards him from the corner of his eye, then lowered his body to dodge the wakizashi's fierce attack. However, the wakizashi with the birthmark, having missed its first strike, relentlessly lunged at Qing Deng again, launching a new round of attacks.

The martial art used by the person with the birthmark... Qing Deng happens to recognize it.

He had previously apprehended thieves on the street who used the same martial arts.

It's a minor form of leggings!

Xiaoguzuju: A martial art that combines unarmed combat and wakizashi (short sword) techniques, which spread during the Warring States period.

Over three hundred years ago, during the Warring States period, in order to effectively counter armored soldiers, people created a fighting technique—

He first threw the enemy to the ground with his bare hands, then drew his wakizashi and stabbed through the gap in the armor to kill the enemy.

This fighting technique is the prototype of the Lesser Feet Technique.

Because it originated on the battlefield, the Small Foot Technique is extremely powerful. Once a master of the Small Foot Technique knocks you to the ground, you're done for.

Judging from the various movements of the man with the birthmark on his face, it's not hard to see that he's quite skilled in using his little leg-binding technique.

He coordinated with his remaining subordinates, attacking from the left and right, from above and below, launching a continuous and fierce counterattack against Qingdeng.

Relying on his decent skill in using small-scale gadgets, and with the coordinated support of his subordinates, the person with the birthmark successfully halted Qing Deng's offensive—though only temporarily.

Qingdeng is currently in a "lone wolf" situation. Their strength is not strong enough to defeat Qingdeng's birthmark-faced group, so their counterattack is destined to be short-lived.

The man with the birthmark raised his wakizashi again and lunged at Qing Deng with a downward slash, like a wall closing in on him.

Although his movement was full of momentum, it allowed Qing Deng to see the weakness in his lower body.

This time, Qing Deng neither defended nor dodged, but instead bent his knees and lunged straight at the lower body of the man with the birthmark on his face!

The momentum of the lunge caused the person with the birthmark to suffer greatly; although the wakizashi in his hand slashed down, he couldn't stop the momentum.

Qing Deng plunged the knife into the right hand of the man with the birthmark from below, causing him to release the wakizashi in pain. At the same time, he grabbed the man's left foot with his left hand and forcefully lifted it upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the person with the birthmark tumbled over Qingdeng's head and fell headfirst behind him with a thud.

The person with the birthmark saw the gray floor, stained by darkness, rushing towards them. Then, countless golden stars began to dance before their eyes, followed by a shattering pain that spread throughout their body.

He was thrown heavily to the ground and tried to get up, but he couldn't even prop himself up. The intense dizziness overwhelmed his reason, and he completely lost consciousness.

Chapter 156 Oh dear! Ms. Kinoshita, are you blushing again? [7000]

As soon as the cold system voice fell, Qingdeng felt his ears, forehead, and the top of his head being enveloped by warm currents.

Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng felt that his hearing had become exceptionally clear.

If I had to describe Qingdeng's current feelings in a vivid way... it would be like "swimming out of the water and coming to the surface, with no more water around his ears," and the whole world seems to have become exceptionally clear because of the enhanced hearing.

The Wind Sensitive... Both the name and the actual effect of this talent are exceptionally powerful.

To be able to replicate such a powerful talent, Qing Deng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly in surprise and joy.

With the fainting of the person with the birthmark, only three opponents remain standing before Qing Deng.

Perhaps because they found the opponent difficult to handle, and because the leader with the birthmark had already been defeated by Qing Deng, the remaining three had lost their will to fight.

Their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly turned and fled.

Having already drawn their weapons and engaged in combat, Qing Deng was naturally not going to let these three people leave so easily.

He took a big step forward, gripped the wakizashi with both hands, and slashed it forward vertically with force, striking the back of the person who was a step behind in the starting speed. The person screamed "Wah!" and then collapsed to the ground.

While Qingdeng dealt with the slowest runner, the other two had already run nearly five steps ahead.

Five steps... that's only a small gap. Unless you're exceptionally good at running, you can't shake off Qingdeng, who's currently in the lead.

Judging from their running posture and speed... it's quite obvious that neither of them are particularly good at running.

Qing Deng flicked his left foot, lifting the wakizashi that had landed right next to his left foot on the face with the birthmark. He then grabbed the wakizashi in mid-air with his left hand and chased after the two fleeing men with both wakizashi in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Deng, whose leg explosive power far surpassed that of ordinary people due to his "first-mover advantage", caught up with the two.

When he closed the distance to just two steps between himself and the two "deserters," Qing Deng forcefully threw the wakizashi he was holding in his left hand at the fastest runner in front of him.

Such a short distance... if it doesn't hit, that would be really unacceptable.

The wakizashi thrown by Qing Deng was both powerful and fast—after all, Qing Deng had a talent that enhanced the strength and dexterity of his fingers: "Skillful Hands".

The wakizashi, spinning and "flying" through the air, accurately struck the back of the fastest runner.

Although it was the hilt of the wakizashi that struck the man, not the blade, the sudden attack still caught him off guard, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

The guy's sudden fall caused trouble for another person running behind him. He kicked the fallen man and followed in his footsteps, tripping and falling flat on his face.

Qing Deng easily caught up with the two who had already fallen to the ground. He pounced on them and subdued the two remaining enemies.

Having dealt with all the enemies he was responsible for, Qing Deng immediately turned his head and raised his gaze to look behind him, checking on the battle situation on Kinoshita Mai's side.

The moment his gaze fell upon her, Qing Deng's tense nerves instantly relaxed considerably.

The situation on Kinoshita Mai's side is... much better than Aoto had imagined.

Although she was fighting four opponents alone, Kinoshita Mai managed to defeat the four enemies who were blocking her and Aoto's retreat one by one, relying on her excellent hand-to-hand combat skills and the advantage of the terrain.

Unlike Aoto, who took the initiative to attack the enemy, Kinoshita Mai's side launched the first attack from the enemy's side.

The four samurai, yelling "Wah-ya-ya!", swarmed towards Kinoshita Mai.

The man at the very front was a tall, but exceptionally strong and muscular man.

The burly man delivered a powerful horizontal slash towards Kinoshita Mai.

Kinoshita Mai remained calm and composed. She swiftly thrust her hips upward, arching her back so that the back of her head almost touched her plump, peach-like buttocks, and braced herself with her hands on the ground—using this extremely difficult backbend, she dodged the burly man's horizontal slash, the sharp blade grazing past her slender abdomen.

Kinoshita Mai's body is incredibly flexible, as if she has no bones. She can do such difficult backbends with ease.

In the instant after bracing herself with her hands on the ground and bending over to dodge the big man's attack, Kinoshita Mai's slender waist suddenly exerted force, and her right leg sprang out like a broken string, kicking upwards with force.

The small toes struck the burly man's chin perfectly—no matter how strong a person is, their chin is a weakness that they can't train.

Kinoshita Mai's kick was extremely powerful. With a loud "bang" and the sound of bones breaking, a large amount of blood and several teeth spurted from the burly man's mouth.

His teeth were kicked out... You can imagine the pain he felt—this burly man fainted from the pain.

Using the momentum from kicking her leg upwards, Kinoshita Mai deftly performed a backflip, quickly transitioning from a backbend to a normal standing position.

“Take care of one…” Kinoshita Mai rearranged her fighting stance with her right fist in front and her left palm behind, and looked at the remaining 3 enemies.

The remaining three enemies... all have very distinctive appearances.

One was a skinny man who was so thin he was practically skin and bones.

One was an ugly man with curly, sparse hair and an extremely sleazy face.

One is a bald man with no hair on his head.

These people have absolutely no idea what cooperation means...

They just rushed forward shouting "Wow!" without any sense of order, completely failing to take advantage of their numbers.

In such a narrow corridor, the result of them rushing forward together... was that they got in each other's way.

The skinny man and the sleazy ugly man attacked Kinoshita Mai side by side.

The bald man, blocked by the skinny man and the ugly man, could neither advance nor attack, so he could only follow closely behind them.
