I formed the strongest swordsman group

At the moment when the two passed by each other, the horizontal sweeping Ding Guishen brushed Shinsaku Takasugi's chest.

It's a pity that although he successfully hit him, the tip of the knife was a little farther away. Only a small tip of the knife pierced Takasugi Shinsaku's body.

Blood spattered, and a nearly 3-inch-long gash lay across Shinsaku Takasugi's chest—such a wound may seem terrifying at first glance, but in fact the injury is not serious and will not cause death.

As for Shinsaku Takasugi, his sword deviated even further.

He is very ambitious.

Even though he had the upper hand in terms of physical fitness, Qingdeng only dared to cautiously set the target of the slashing at the chest which was relatively large and relatively easier to slash.

What about Shinsaku Takasugi? The place he was aiming at was Qingdeng's neck—he wanted to chop Qingdeng's head off in one go.

When the needle-thin ray of light was pulled out and was about to swallow the flesh of Qingdeng's neck, Qingdeng relied on the "Hawkeye + 1" endowment like "time stop" at this critical moment. With his excellent dynamic eyesight, his eyes were sharp and his hands were swift, so that this ambitious sword only brushed the air above his head in vain.

Qingdeng knew very well that his blow just now did not seriously injure Shinsaku Takasugi, and the opponent must still have enough strength to continue fighting with him.

Therefore, at the moment when the bodies of each other were staggered, Qingdeng quickly stopped his feet and turned his head to face Shinsaku Takasugi again.

When Qingdeng turned his head, he happened to see Shinsaku Takasugi turn around at almost the same moment.

The two sharp eyesights collided fiercely in mid-air again.

At this time, a weird scene quietly happened before Qingdeng's eyes.

In the "knife hedging" just now, although Qingdeng's blow to Shin Takasugi was indeed not fatal, it was a knife wound after all. It was a nearly 3-inch incision in the skin of his chest, which has remained until now. The knife wound that was "gurgling" bleeding outward.

It won't die, it will always hurt, right?

The result——Takasugi Shinsaku had a calm demeanor and a ruddy complexion, as if he didn't feel any pain at all, as if he wasn't the one who was injured.

It may be strange to say so, but Qingdeng dares to assure you - he did indeed find a hint of... joy and enjoyment in the brows of Shinsaku Takasugi vaguely?

"Hehehehe..."

A low-pitched laughter that seemed to come from the underworld floated faintly from between Shinsaku Takasugi's lips.

"Amazing...! A man who can achieve so many miraculous achievements by himself is not just for nothing...!"

"It's been a long time since I met a peer who can suppress me severely in swordsmanship."

"If you don't count old monsters like Master and the others who have honed their skills for decades in the way of swordsmanship... Among all the people I know, the only one who can beat you is that bastard Kawagami Hikosai! Ah...speaking of which—this guy's best martial art is sword drawing."

"Hehe... King Ni, if you are destined to meet Kawagami Yansai in the future, you can compete with him in sword drawing!"

Qingdeng didn't know Kawagami Yanzhai, so he just took Takasugi Shinsaku's emotion as a deaf ear.

Shinsaku Takasugi, who was still lamenting Qingdeng's strength one second, stepped on the wooden corridor in the next second, and swung his knife in like a rainbow! His body, who was not much shorter than Qingdeng, rushed towards Qingdeng like a mountain.

Qingdeng swung two knives in a row.

The light of the knife flashed and flashed again.

The first slash tried to force Takasugi Shinsaku back, but after seeing that it had no effect, he quickly made up the second slash, and hit Takasugi Shinsaku's sword in the air.

The two knives intersected clangingly, making a light "Kara" sound at the same time - where the two knives hit each other, a handful of dust-like metal substances fell like a landslide.

The blade cracked.

Seeing this, Qingdeng felt very distressed—come on! After that, I have to take Ding Guishen to send it for repair!

Only then did Qingdeng suddenly realize that this long-faced young man who was fighting with him was most likely not an ordinary person.

Qingdeng's ability to fix ghosts and gods is undoubtedly a treasured sword, and ordinary swords cannot compete with it.

And Shinsaku Takasugi's saber can actually be able to slash against ghosts and gods, without seeming to lose the wind! Whether it is sharpness or toughness, there is no place that is inferior to a given ghost!

A person who can use a knife of this quality... It's hard to imagine that it would be a white man with no background and identity.

hum!

A blade light that swept across Qingdeng's nose forced Qingdeng's thoughts to escape from places other than "battle".

Fighting against a master is much more difficult and tiring than fighting a rookie.

For masters like Qingdeng and Takasugi Shinsaku, any moment of relaxation may lead to fatal consequences that are too late to regret. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain tight nerves and a high degree of concentration throughout the process.

This kind of full-scale operation of the brain and exhaustion of the brain is the most devastating.

Just now, when he fought with the remnants of twenty or so barbarians and exhausted them, Qing Deng's breathing was only a little faster.

As a result, it was just a short fight with Takasugi Shinsaku, and Qingdeng's demand for oxygen increased linearly.

His breathing was so loud that it almost covered the beating of his heart in his chest.

At any rate, Qingdeng still has the talent to enhance cardiopulmonary function and muscle durability: "iron lung", "muscle strengthening +1", so tiredness is tiredness, and shortness of breath is shortness of breath, but after fighting with Takasugi Shin for a hundred and eighty rounds, Not a problem.

On the other hand... the cardiopulmonary function of the other party is obviously not as good as that of Qingdeng.

He needs to open his mouth, mouth and nose, and use his ground to greedily suck in the air around him, in order to barely maintain his body's demand for oxygen.

At first glance - Takasugi Shinsaku, who lost his physical strength much faster than Qingdeng and received a knife in the chest, should be more and more strenuous as he fights, and he will be more and more disadvantaged, right?

However, the actual reality presented is not like this.

"Ha ah ah!"

Shinsaku Takasugi, who burst out from his throat with a strange voice that resembled laughter and roar, became more and more courageous as he fought!

"Nio! Look at the trick!"

Before he could finish speaking, he raised his hand, and there was a clang, and there was a tiny bloodstain on Qingdeng's left earlobe.

Qingdeng suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his left ear, and at the same time, warm blood slipped through the wound and fell onto his left shoulder.

——It really wasn’t an illusion...!

Qingdeng's eyes froze.

Ben was a little skeptical just now, but after observing carefully for so long, Qingdeng is now very sure—his feeling is not wrong! Compared to the moment when the fight started, Takasugi Shinsaku's strength has indeed increased!

The knife that Shinsaku Takasugi struck just now was very beautiful.

The timing and angle were chosen very well, and it was precisely chosen to launch a counterattack when Qingdeng had just completed a round of attack, when the old strength had been released but the new strength had not been exerted.

Qingdeng had already dodged at the fastest speed, but in the end he was still a little slower, and Shinsaku Takasugi's knife grazed his ear. Fortunately, it was just a little skin cut, a little insignificant skin trauma, except for some bleeding, it was not a serious problem.

It was too late to say that, as if Shinsaku Takasugi wanted to expand the results of the battle, he jumped into the air suddenly, and with the help of gravity and his own weight, he chopped off the knife held high above.

Qingdeng slightly twisted his body, took half a step back, and then used two upward strokes in succession - first cutting from the bottom right to the top left, then taking advantage of the situation to draw the knife in an arc, turn it half a circle, and drag the knife to the left side of the body , chop again in the opposite direction, from lower left to upper right.

The first blow dispelled Shinsaku Takasugi's onslaught under the pressure of gravity.

The second hit directly hit the face of Shinsaku Takasugi who was about to fall to the ground.

Takasugi Shinsaku's reaction was as quick as if he had predicted Qingdeng's action in advance.

I saw his head tilted, Ding Guishen brushed his temples with the sound of wind.

Next, Shinsaku Takasugi slashed horizontally with the knife carried almost horizontally on his right shoulder.

Seeing this, Qingdeng decided without hesitation to start a head-to-head confrontation with Shinsaku Takasugi in order to maximize his physical advantages.

He copied Takasugi Shinsaku's movements intact - he carried Ding Guishen horizontally on his left shoulder, and then swung his knife to create a whirlwind!

Sure enough - Shinsaku Takasugi, whose arm strength and waist strength was not as strong as Qingdeng's, was suppressed the moment the two swords struck each other.

Qingdeng leaned forward with his body weight, his body formed an obtuse angle with the wooden corridor under his feet.

Shinsaku Takasugi, who is not as strong as Qingdeng and unable to fight against Qingdeng, is because it is difficult to fight against Qingdeng, so his body leans back greatly, and his body forms an acute angle with the wooden corridor.

However, Shinsaku Takasugi quickly launched a new offensive.

I saw him spread his feet, his right foot was like a flexible poisonous snake, moving towards Qingdeng's lower body, trying to destroy Qingdeng's body center of gravity.

Playing this dirty trick with Qingdeng, who has systematically learned how to fight people in narrow areas, and who is very good at kicking and breaking off a certain organ used to give birth to another person when there is a gap... Obviously, he is playing tricks.

Qingdeng lowered the center of gravity of his body, spread his feet as well, deflected every kick of Shinsaku Takasugi's every move, and counterattacked in a timely manner.

The upper body of the two maintains the movement of facing the knife, while the lower body engages in a dizzying and fierce fight.

Both sides were very solid at the end of the game, and after some fighting, the fight was inseparable.

Takasugi Shinsaku failed to trip Qingdeng, and Qingdeng couldn't do anything about Takasugi Shinsaku, and no one benefited.

However, although the fight in the lower body is evenly matched, the upper body duel decides the winner.

clang!

Qingdeng took a deep breath, and the muscles of his legs, waist, and arms all exerted strength to parry the sword of Shinsaku Takasugi, who was no match for Qingdeng in terms of strength despite his best efforts.

Shinsaku Takasugi, who knew that the door of Buddhism was wide open and the situation was extremely dangerous, quickly backed away, trying to get away from Qingdeng and regain his posture.

However, his wishful thinking has been seen through by Qingdeng.

Qingdeng chased after him like a shadow.

Compared with the beginning of the fight, Takasugi Shinsaku's skill has indeed improved significantly... But in terms of hard power, Qingdeng still has a slight advantage!

With his center of gravity extremely low, Qingdeng concentrated his strength on his toes, kicked off the ground, and leaned forward as if sliding across the ground. At the same time, his right arm turned into an indistinguishable phantom, and suddenly retracted Ding Guishen into the scabbard.

In the next moment, this body with his left hand holding the scabbard, his right hand holding down the handle, his back bowed, tense as if he was accumulating power, appeared on Takasugi Shinsaku's waist.

The next moment... the white light exploded!

Streamer!

Probing the ground with his right foot, bending his left foot and adopting a squatting posture, almost leaning on the ground with his left knee... Qingdeng drew his saber in such a posture! A knife cut from Takasugi Shinsaku's lower abdomen to the face! The rays of light pouring out of the sheath headed straight for Shinsaku Takasugi with a sense of impropriety!

The knife drawing technique Liuguang, which has both power and speed, can be said to be the most powerful move that Qingdeng has mastered so far.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it one of Qingdeng's biggest hole cards.

In an instant, Takasugi Shinsaku's pupils shrank to the size of a needle eye.

In the moment when life and death are decided in an instant, Takasugi Shinsaku's subconscious muscle memory saved his life - he raised his arms reflexively and put the knife in front of him.

After a loud noise, Shinsaku Takasugi held the knife that had been slammed back heavily, and flew backwards like a baseball that was knocked into the air. He flew four steps away before falling back to the ground in a parabola.

"Hoo...! Hoo...! Hoo...!"

While breathing evenly, Qing Deng slowly straightened his legs and waist.

At this time, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "cracker la la la..." on his right side.

He followed the sound and looked - it turned out that his right arm was trembling slightly, driving the metal blade and the blade to make a "cracking" sound at the same time.

This is the effect caused by the reaction force produced by the streamer being blocked.

Even Qingdeng, who possesses the "Strong Muscle +1" that strengthens the durability of his muscles, can hardly resist this force that almost breaks his bones.

If the arm is like this, let alone the knife - there is a particularly conspicuous big gap on the blade of the ghost-fixing knife.

This is the position where Shinsaku Takasugi's sword collided with just now.

At this moment, Qingdeng felt from the bottom of his heart: Liu Guang's power is great...but it's also costly.

"It really hurts..." Qingdeng raised his left hand and hugged his right arm, which was sore and numb, then raised his head and looked at Shinsaku Takasugi in front of him.

Takasugi Shinsaku was lying on his back in the shape of "big", his arms trembling slightly like Qingdeng's right arm.

"laugh……"

Qingdeng raised his eyes to look at him, and saw Shinsaku Takasugi grinned the corner of his mouth, and chuckled a few times with a "hee".

"I lost."

He slowly straightened his upper body, leaning on the knife to get up, and said these simple words frankly and straightforwardly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that—unless Shinsaku Takasugi has some back move, if the fight continues like this, Qingdeng, who has firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, will undoubtedly win.

Facing Shinsaku Takasugi who confessed his defeat without any regret on his face, Qingdeng was surprised and said:

"Since you already know that you have lost, then throw away the knife and capture it with nothing, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood."

Just as Qingdeng finished speaking——

【Ding! Scan to talent]

A system sound suddenly sounded in my mind.

Shinsaku Takasugi is very young. Judging from his appearance, he should not be more than 20 years old, and he is the same generation as Qingdeng.

To be able to have such achievements in swordsmanship at such a young age - it is strange that such a person does not have a special talent.

While waiting for Shinsaku Takasugi's response, Qingdeng listened quietly to the next system tone.

Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng showed a look of astonishment because the content displayed by the system sound was too explosive for a long time.
