I formed the strongest swordsman group

The long-lost new talent made Qing Deng startled.

"Early Childbirth +5"... Just by looking at the name, you can tell what the talent is.

Although this talent cannot be said to be useless, it is not very useful either.

After all, Qing Deng's fertility is not bad.

Not long after getting married, Sanako and Ama both got pregnant.

So, this talent can only be regarded as icing on the cake for Qing Deng at most.

However, with this talent, it may be able to effectively offset Souji's "difficult pregnancy" constitution.

At this time, Qing Deng suddenly thought of Tenshoin Atsuhime.

When he had a sparring match with Tenshoin, the talent he copied from him was "Many Children and Blessings".

The ability is "It is easier to give birth to healthy and excellent children".

Because this talent is only suitable for females, it cannot take effect on Qing Deng.

Qing Deng couldn't help thinking: Now that he has "Early Childbirth +5", if he combines with Tenshoin who has "Many Children, More Blessings", wouldn't it be...

Before this thought continues, Qing Deng couldn't help laughing.

Combined with the "Empress Dowager of the Current Dynasty"... Unless the shogunate collapses, this kind of thing will never happen.

Qing Deng restrained the joy of "having a new talent", shook his head gently, and discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then, he turned his head to look at Yoshida Minoruma who had already landed.

Just now, he attacked from the lower stage and slashed with a reverse cassock. With the fierce force of the sword, he broke the opponent's sword, and then the blade continued to hit his waist and abdomen, and chopped him 10 meters away.

Although the victory and defeat were decided, Yoshida Minoruma did not die immediately, whether it was because of his tenacious life or his firm will.

He propped himself up with his broken sword, groaning vaguely, and struggled to sit up.

His eyes were bloodshot, frighteningly red, his face was filled with resentment and resentment, and he stared at Qing Deng fiercely, as if he wanted to shoot through Qing Deng's body with his eyes.

"Damn... running dog...!"

Qing Deng said indifferently:

"Your vocabulary is too limited, isn't it? You keep saying 'running dog', I'm tired of hearing it, can't you change to something more novel?"

Yoshida Minoru coughed a few times and vomited a lot of blood like a spring.

There was a "death air" on his cheeks, and his pupils began to sag.

He used his last bit of strength to speak incoherently:

"You...just...wait...!"

"Do you think...we are your only enemies...?"

"The imperial court...Satsuma...Tosa...Hizen...which one of them is not...watching us covetously..."

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

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

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

"Even if...I kill... We...cannot kill all...the patriots in the world...!"

Faced with Yoshida Minoru's ridicule, Qing Deng responded calmly:

"Then just come on."

"The imperial court, Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa, Hizen, Saiyi...no matter which force it is, just come on!"

"I will protect everything that should be protected."

"You can open your eyes in the underworld and watch how I, 'Niwang', break the formation and kill the enemy, exterminate the evil and annihilate the rebellion!"

I don't know if the other party heard what he said.

Before Qing Deng finished speaking, he suddenly dropped his knife, knelt on the ground, gradually lowered his head, and finally fell forward, and a large pool of blood immediately spread around him.

Although Yoshida Minoru was very long-winded just now, he had to admit that what he said just now was all true.

The imperial court, Satsuma, Tosa...every one of them was ambitious.

There are many nobles in the imperial court who still have the ambition to "revitalize the prestige of the imperial court".

Not to mention Satsuma, which is a fence-sitter with a flexible bottom line.

Therefore, what Yoshida Minoru just said was right.

The shogunate is now only relying on the residual power of the past and the support of Qing Deng in recent years to barely maintain a fragile "balance".

If something unexpected happens one day in the future, this "balance" will be broken in an instant.

By then, the enemies that the shogunate and Qing Deng have to face will not only be Choshu...

Of course, these things were expected by Qing Deng early on.

Otherwise, he would not have pushed the construction of Qinjin Domain with all his strength to prevent the worst situation from happening.

Just as Qing Deng said just now-he will protect everything that should be protected!

Qing Deng glanced at Yoshida Minoru's body, then he was too lazy to look at him again, retracted his gaze, raised his head and shouted:

"Yoshida Minoru, I have conquered him!"

With the blessing of the talent "Piercing Clouds and Splitting Stones +2", his shout quickly spread.

Instantly, the scene fell into a brief silence...

Under the combined attack of Qing Deng and Tojo Shintaro, the ground was covered with corpses.

Only fifty people were left standing safely.

Their own general was dead...those who were weak-willed and low-spirited finally couldn't fight on.

They looked at each other, looked at each other...I don't know who started it, but turned around and ran away.

Then, like a plague, more and more people turned around and ran away.

These guys were all insignificant little characters, not worth mentioning.

So, Qing Deng didn't chase them - and he had no time to chase them.

There were still some die-hard elements who did not run away and remained where they were.

Roughly speaking, there are about a dozen of these die-hard elements.

They were not deterred by the large number of their companions leaving. They still held their swords tightly and glared at Qingdeng.

Since they have made up their mind to die, there is no need to say more.

Qingdeng silently prepared the knife and said softly:

"bring it on."

As soon as the words fell, the battle started.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The people on the opposite side let out angry roars, stepped forward, and pounced on him.

From a certain point of view, the opponent who is determined to die and has no thought of living is the most terrifying.

But for Qingdeng, dealing with these guys who have neither superior skills nor physical fitness, but no fighting spirit, is just garbage time.

But for Shintaro Tojo, that's not the case.

After all, "age" and "body shape" are two major constraints that are difficult to overcome.

Shintaro Tojo set up his spear and faced the enemy with all his strength.

But the depletion of physical strength still made his hands and feet much duller.

He swung his spear to the left, driving back the enemy on the left, and then swept to the right, driving away the enemy on the right.

Just when his old strength has been exhausted and his new strength has yet to be released——

"Drink ah ah ah ah!"

A certain patriot got a burning trolley from nowhere.

He pushed the cart straight into Tojo Shintaro at an extremely fast speed.

Under normal circumstances, it would be easy for Shintaro Tojo to avoid this little trick.

But now that his physical strength has bottomed out and his reactions have begun to slow down, the situation is completely different.

Although he dodged to the left immediately, he was still a little slower.

He escaped the frontal impact of the trolley, but the flames on the trolley still caught his clothes.

Soon, the tongue of fire licked Tojo Shintaro's clothes and spread rapidly.

At this time, Qingdeng had neatly eliminated the enemies on his side.

After discovering something was going on in Dongcheng, he immediately rushed over and joined the battle.

He found the guy who pushed the "train", raised his hand, and with a "whoosh" sound, he made the opponent's head move with just one blow.

While fighting, Qingden never forgot to ask:

"Mr. Dongcheng, are you okay?"

After the clothes were caught in the flames, Shintaro Tojo pulled off the clothes on his upper body and threw them out before the flames burned his skin.

"I'm fine... I just got a few blisters."

After hearing this, Qingdeng calmed down and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

——1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

He carefully counted the number of remaining enemies.

There are only 5 enemies left on the field.

They are worthy of being dead soldiers.

Even though their side had no chance of winning, these five people did not flinch.

They reassembled an arc-shaped formation that semi-surrounded Qingdeng, and then attacked together.

Qingdeng calmly lowered his body, gathered strength in his waist—stepped in, bent and stretched his upper body—to attack the enemy on the far right.

He didn't even need to look closely at the effect of the slash, because the feeling of "knife penetrating into the flesh" was very solid.

Although the enemies from the front and the left were slashing at them with swords, Qingden's sense of distance was very precise. His previous attack included "moving his body" and "dodge", making all their slashes in vain.

In the next breath, he seized the gap when someone changed posture, stepped forward and struck with a knife.

After another breath, his Vairocana collided with the other person's celestial spirit cap.

Qingden made a slight mistake in his steps and pounced on the last two enemies.

He floated past the two men's swords, moved quickly from left to right, and ducked behind them - at this time, he had vibrated the sword hard and shook off the remaining blood on the blade.

The two people seemed to have been immobilized, standing straight in place, and then fell to the left and right like rotten wood.

At this point, the scene finally became quiet.

The fighting has stopped, the chaos has subsided.

The patriots died and fled.

There was only the sound of burning flames all around.

Qingdeng glanced around, then looked up to the sky, let out a long breath, and felt as happy as a big stone falling to the ground.

——It’s finally over...

He still doesn't know what the situation is at Ikeda House.

It's all over for him.

The pile of dangerous goods in the warehouse has been inspected.

All the patriots were killed and wounded, and Yoshida Minoru himself was killed.

Yoshida Minoru is to the Zunbo faction what Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi are to the Shinsengumi - an unbearable and heavy loss.

For the Zunban faction, this is undoubtedly a historic defeat!

On the other hand, this is another brilliant victory for the Samu forces since the "August 18th Coup".

At this time, Qingdeng couldn't help but think of a question: What will the Zunbang faction do next?

Under the control of radicals such as Kusaka Genrui, today's Zunban sect has become an unreasonable extremist organization, and they cannot be measured by worldly common sense.

What can be determined is that after suffering such a big loss, there is no way that the Zunbang Sect will not react at all!

In a rage, he mobilized all the troops in Changzhou, launched an eastern expedition, and challenged the shogunate... Such a possibility is not impossible!

The 300,000 territory granted to Ayoto was not only one of the richest lands under the shogunate, but also the western frontier of the shogunate.

If Changzhou really comes, Qinjin Fan will be the first to bear the brunt.

After more than half a year, Zhan Yun reunited...

——One wave is not over, but another wave is rising...

Just when Qingdeng was thinking secretly, he suddenly heard light footsteps——

Miss Sumire led A Tao, A Mei and other kunoichi towards them.

Miss Sumire only glanced at Qingteng and then withdrew her gaze - because with just one glance, she knew that apart from her breathing being slightly disturbed, Qingteng was not injured at all and even her clothes were not messed up.

She turned her attention to Tojo Shintaro:

"Shintaro, are you okay?"

Shintaro Tojo smiled bitterly:

"I'm fine...except for a few blood blisters and being so tired that I feel like vomiting, I'm fine."

Seeing that Shintaro Tojo was fine, Miss Sumire looked relieved.

Qingdeng asked:

"Ajin, have all the people evacuated?"

Miss Sumire nodded gently:

"Well, we've almost evacuated. We're lucky, no big chaos happened."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then changed into a tone of deep emotion:

"The people haven't completely evacuated yet, so you should kill all the enemies first... Your killing speed is too fast, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shintaro Tojo immediately added:

"It has nothing to do with me, I just made a move. The corpses all over the ground are basically An Yi's handiwork."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.

A Tao, A Mei...these kunoichi, who had always shown vigilance and hostility after meeting Aoden, all cast complicated glances at Aoto.

No matter what kind of emotions you have towards Qingdeng, you have to admit: without Qingdeng's help tonight, even if they can win, it will never be so smooth!

From breaking into the warehouse single-handedly to beating Yoshida Yoshida and others like sandbags just now... Aonto perfectly demonstrated the dominant strength of "Nioh"!

Thanks to his overwhelming force, this series of actions tonight went incredibly smoothly.

Not only did they smash the Zunban faction's conspiracy, but not even a single person on their own side died! Only Tojo Shintaro was burned with a few blood blisters!

In this way, Miss Sumire and the kunoichi couldn't help but feel like they were "in a dream".

Maybe Amei and the others didn't notice it themselves - when they looked at Qingdeng again, most of the wariness and hostility in their eyes had been reduced.

Various emotions such as admiration and longing even faintly appeared in the eyes of a few people.

Qingto didn't notice the changes in the kunoichi's eyes. He half-jokingly asked Ajin:

"A Jin, I thought you wouldn't come."

Miss Sumire sighed silently:

"Honestly, I didn't want to come."

"It's just...I have to admit that your inference makes sense."

"So, I left Mr. Ebina and some others behind and asked them to continue to torture those guys."

"The rest of you will follow me to help you."

After Qingdeng heard this, he smiled slightly:

"Thank you for coming. Thanks to your assistance, we were able to quickly evacuate the people and minimize the damage. It was really a big help."

Miss Sumire smiled, showing a smile that was like a dream. As long as she didn't speak, she was an impeccable top beauty.

"You're welcome. We are allies, aren't we? Since we are allies, we should help each other."

Qingden continued in a half-joking tone:

"It's a pity that our alliance only lasts until tonight."

Miss Sumire smiled again:

"Well...that's hard to say."

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from far and near behind him.

He turned around to see - it was Machi Huiji.

Machibashi was a fireman in the Edo period.

Miss Sumire saw this and said softly:

"The town fire is coming... It's almost time for us to leave."

As members of the Great Salt Party, Miss Sumire and the others naturally tried their best to avoid getting involved with shogunate officials.

Qingdeng nodded:

"Then let's go our separate ways for now."

"I'm very concerned about the situation over there at Ikedaya, so I'm going to Ikedaya now."

Miss Sumire nodded gently:

"An Yi, goodbye."

"I'm sure it won't be long before we meet again - and then I hope we'll still be friends."

After saying that, she led Tojo Shintaro and the kunoichi and turned east.

Just when the two sides were about to part ways... Qingdeng suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He hadn't paid close attention to Shintaro Tojo just now.

After taking off his upper body clothes that were on fire, Shintaro Tojo remained naked, exposing his round belly like a pig.

It was only now that he suddenly discovered that there was a large burn mark on Tojo Shintaro's right abdomen...!

This scar is very old, and it looks like an old wound at first glance.

There were burns on his right abdomen, he was good at using spears, he was good at strength... all kinds of information swirled and merged in Qingdeng's head.

Memories of the past revived in his mind.

He suddenly recalled the old man he met in Osaka earlier:

(Have you ever seen a samurai who has hideous burn marks on his right abdomen and is good at wielding a spear?)

When Qingto couldn't help but stop in shock, Miss Sumire, Tojo Shintaro and others had already jumped into the dark alley and disappeared...

…

…

Kyoto, Sanjo Bridge (west of Kamogawa River), Ikedaya——

clang! clang! clang! clang! clang! clang!

The sound of steel blades clashing one after another shook the atmosphere and reached the sky.

The battle between Souji and others and Prajna seems to have reached a fever pitch!

Although Prajna made the "New Three Heroes" suffer a lot, he himself was not much relieved.

His hair and clothes were messy, and his breathing became rapid.

Up to now, the two sides are still inseparable, with no winner.

Prajna's physical strength is really terrible.

Although his breath is disordered, he is far from being "unable to fight".

Judging from his state, he has the spirit of "I can fight for another 300 rounds".

On the other hand, the "New Three Heroes"... their state is not good.

Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi are fine, but Souji...

Her cheeks are pale, her red lips are slightly open, she greedily swallows the air, and her chest rises and falls quickly, like a bellows.

Physical strength is Souji's weakness, she is not good at attrition warfare.

Prajna is still at ease, but Souji, the main fighting force of the "New Three Heroes", is running out of strength... This doesn't look like good news!

Hijikata Toshizo, Serizawa Kame and others who were watching the battle silently clenched their swords.

At this moment, the "Three New Heroes" were standing in a row, staring at the opposite Prajna, thinking of new tactics.

Souji wiped the sweat from his chin, swallowed his saliva, and looked thoughtful.

After a while, she said faintly:

"... Shinpachi, Saito, help me find a flaw."

As she said this, she spread her legs, lowered her waist, raised the tip of the sword, and adopted the Blue Eyes configuration.
