Update 1W]

——Did you just catch up...

Just seeing Sanako's extremely awkward standing posture, trying her best to avoid her left leg touching the ground, Qingto knew that Sanako's left leg must have been injured, and the injury was not serious.

Dragging a leg that was so injured that it was difficult to even stand normally, he fought alone with more than ten samurai...Aside from "Sanako fought hard to the end, but was defeated in the end", Aoto couldn't think of anything else.

Well, more positive results.

Fortunately - I arrived in time.

Qingdeng, who felt extremely lucky for his timely rescue, let out a long sigh of relief, and then while adjusting his breathing that was quite disordered after running all the way here, he quietly held Dingguishen in the middle position.

forward.

Across the shimmering blade of the sword, Qingden's sharp-edged gaze swept over the "Hanged-Horned Samurai" and others in front of him one by one.

——11 people...

After using the momentum of the jump to cut the strong man in half with a jumping slash, there were only 11 pursuers left chasing Sanako and Natsume Yue.

Overall, Qingto now has a lot of questions he wants to ask Sanako.

For example: Where else are you injured, how did you escape...

But let’s wait until all the enemies in front of us are dealt with before we talk about these problems!

Seeing the sudden appearance of Qingden, the "cornered-eyed warrior"'s expression suddenly changed due to surprise at first, and then the "surprise" on his face quickly changed to "seriousness".

Because of the darkness of the night, he could not see Qingdeng's face clearly.

From his perspective, he only saw a very tall samurai suddenly appeared just now, jumped down from the roof of the nearby house, blocked Sanako's body the moment he landed, and pushed them away.

One of his companions was cut in two with a knife.

Precisely jump to the best attack position, and separate the body of a large living person from top to bottom with a very smooth incision... Without a certain level of swordsmanship, it is impossible to perform such a difficult action.

Realizing that the person who came was a master, the "Diaojiaoyan Samurai" quickly stopped 10 steps away from Qingdeng and ordered everyone running in front of him to come back. At the same time, he asked everyone running behind him to stop.

Step down.

Qingdeng is in a hurry now.

After rescuing Miss Sanako...he still needs to rush to the next battlefield!

I don't have time to hang out with these guys.

Moreover, if these guys are allowed to form a tight formation that can cooperate with each other on such a spacious street, it will also be very detrimental to Qingdeng.

So without any hesitation - Qingdeng took a deep breath, and then he saw the silver light reappear! The blade of Ding Guishen once again drew a bright light in the air, and the sharp blade followed Qingdeng's body, violently moving straight

Pounce on the enemies ahead!

Sanako has been in a trance ever since Qingteng suddenly appeared and blocked her pursuers with his back that, although not very generous, could inexplicably give people a sense of strange security.

status.

Too many unexpected accidents happened tonight... But among the many emergencies, the accident that was still happening in front of her was the one that shocked Sanako the most.

Just when she was fighting with her pursuers to the last moment with the determination to "die together", Jun Tachibana... a figure she had never imagined before actually appeared at the most critical moment.

in front of her.

Surprise, doubt, joy, luck, and some... emotions that I don't know how to describe specifically in words, rose up and took hold in Sanako's heart.

At this moment, when he saw Qingden taking the initiative to attack the enemies, Sanako suddenly came out of this weird trance.

"Tachibana-kun!"

Sanako shouted a warning to Qingden.

"Be careful! The guy with the horned eyes is very powerful..."

Sanako's left thigh was injured by the "Horn-Eyed Samurai".

This man's keen sense of opportunity and sharp swordsmanship impressed Sanako deeply.

While warning Qingdeng, she dragged her injured leg forward, wanting to go to support Qingdeng.

Although she knew that Qingdeng was very strong and had just won a "1vs18" battle a while ago, according to the description Qingdeng gave her at the time, Qingdeng had an advantageous position in that battle, in a narrow alley.

In a battle, it is difficult for the enemy to take advantage of their numerical superiority, which is completely different from the current situation.

The current battlefield is a "spacious street", a place where the advantage of numbers can be fully utilized.

Worried that Aoto would lose to the enemies who had an overwhelming numerical advantage, and also because of her own pride that she "didn't want to just do nothing", Sanako wanted to do her best to help Aoto

A helping hand.

Although his left thigh was injured, if he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he could still more or less share the burden of Qingden's enemies.

However, before Sanako's warning was finished, and her legs had just taken half a step forward, her words and delicate body stopped.

All this was just because... the scene that happened in front of him next made Sanako so shocked that it was difficult for him to speak another word or move his body forward for a moment.

When Qingdeng pounced on the enemy group, the first opponent he found was naturally the enemy closest to him.

While Qing Deng was charging forward, he raised Ding Guishen high and took the upper right position.

Switch postures, accumulate strength on the waist and arms...the movements are as smooth as water.

After reaching the position where his sword could cut the enemy, the power he accumulated in his waist and arms suddenly bounced away!

Buzz...the sound of the air being cut vibrated in the atmosphere.

Ding Guishen slashed down from the upper right to the lower left. The speed was so fast that the sharp blade directly pulled out a needle-thin ray of light.

The enemy's reaction was quite quick. With quick eyesight and quick hands, he raised the knife in his hand horizontally and blocked the sharp cassock chop.

The attack didn't work... Qingden didn't change his expression. He only used the shock force of the blocked sword to quickly lift Dingguishen up, switched to the upper left stance, and slashed from a completely different direction than the cassock just now.

Another chop!

This time, the enemy failed to react... His right hand holding the sword was cut off directly by Qing Deng's slash from the upper left to the lower right, and the entire right arm was severed from the elbow.

The right arm that had been separated from the body just kept holding the knife, and fell to the ground together with the knife.

His arm was chopped off, but the enemy didn't scream.

Because before he could scream in agony, Qingdeng struck out with lightning speed and cut his neck horizontally, killing him.

The light and shadow shook... From the corner of Qingden's right eye, he caught a glimpse of a new enemy on his front right side, both in height and build. He let out a slightly deficient kiai and swung his sword at Qingden.

Climb and cut.

Probably because Qingdeng had just dealt with a companion beside him in an understatement, the man's face was full of fear, and his knife-swinging movements were filled with the feeling of "wanting to force Qingdeng back, not wanting Qingdeng to retreat."

Come on over here" atmosphere.

On this cloudy night when the sky was covered with thick clouds, in the darkness, Sanako saw two shadows that were also holding swords and about the same size and height merged into one.

Then in the next moment, one of them fell towards the ground with extremely slow movements.

The figure who survived...that is, Qing Deng quickly shook his knife towards the ground at his feet, knocking off the remaining blood on the knife, and then pointed the blade at the next enemy.

Sanako thought she had made a mistake at first.

But now, after seeing Aoto kill the enemy who was about the same size as him with simple and sharp movements, she was finally convinced - Aoto's swordsmanship battle with Aizuhou last month.

Compared with now, the strength is much stronger!

It is not difficult to understand why Sanako was so shocked - how could she have expected that after the swordsmanship competition, Qingdeng's swordsmanship talent had evolved from "50 times that of ordinary people" to "70 times that of ordinary people"

"Woolen cloth?

How could we know that Qingdeng would acquire a new god-level talent: "Gathering God" in just one month?

At this moment, in Qingdeng's talent list, the two entries "Gudan" and "Gathering God" are shining with golden light because they are being activated!

The last time Sanako saw Aonto fight with her own eyes was at the Aizu Hou Swordsmanship Competition last month.

In a word - her positioning of Aotobu's strength in her mind was still at the time of the Aizuhou Swordsman Competition last month!

Although a few days ago, she had personally heard from Qingto about his new record of fighting 18 warriors alone in a certain alleyway, but "hearing with ears" and "seeing with eyes" bring to people

The feeling of shock is completely different.

At first, when she heard that Qingdeng "1vs18" and won, she only subconsciously thought that Qingdeng had become stronger again... But she never expected that Qingdeng could become so much stronger!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Qingden ducked in front of the next enemy.

The enemy hurriedly raised his knife to attack, and the knife drew an arc close to Qingdeng's neck.

For Qingdeng, who had all three talents of "Lone Dancing", "Gathering God" and "Eagle Eye" activated, the enemy's slash was too slow, as slow as a slow-playing movie video.

Qingdeng, who had seen through the enemy's sword path, tilted his head to avoid the man's attack, then quickly swung his sword and counterattacked.

Phew!

Another delicate blood flower bloomed in the sky and bloomed on the ground.

Qingden slashed the enemy's right cheek and right neck lengthwise.

The blade that holds ghosts and gods is like a bathroom shower...but instead of comfortable hot water, it spurts out smelly blood.
To be continued...
