It was really a long night with many unexpected situations... When Qingdeng jumped off the back of Radish's cow, Qingdeng suddenly felt this emotion for no reason.

Originally they were just looking for the missing Sanako, but by various chances and coincidences, they discovered the conspiracy of the anti-barbarian group to destroy the settlement. In just one night, they fought in most of Edo to rescue Sanako.

First, ride on the bull and rush to the settlement.

And now, he is launching a charge.

Charge towards the enemy group ahead alone!

Are you crazy? If some people witnessed what Qingdeng is doing now, they would definitely have such thoughts.

There are at least 60 enemies in front of us.

To single-handedly attack an enemy group of this size... is simply crazy.

In fact, Qingdeng also felt that his current behavior, viewed from a normal person's perspective, was simply ridiculous and unreasonable.

He could have done nothing and completely ignored Kamino and others who were currently surrounding the Bright Mansion.

Discovered the conspiracy of the anti-barbarian group to attack the settlement... Qingdeng, who made this contribution, has made a great achievement.

What's more, the difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves is indeed too great.

Before the large government troops arrived, the only comrade beside Qingden was Sanako, who had an injured leg.

Even if Qingteng hides in a safe corner and watches Kamino and others kill everyone in the Bright Mansion, no one will be able to accuse Qingteng of anything afterwards.

However - just now, just when the idea of ​​"what to do" flashed through Qingdeng's mind, Qingdeng made up his mind without hesitation.

It's okay to be considered unreasonable.

It's okay to be seen as overestimating one's abilities.

He chose to draw the sword in his hand.

No hesitation, no regrets.

Not because I want to appear a hero.

Nor is it for such righteous reasons as saving lives and healing the wounded, punishing evil and promoting good.

Although he couldn't explain why, Qingden just felt that if he chose to retreat now and hide in a safe place and let Kamino and others do whatever they wanted, he would lose something very important.

It’s not the kind of “loss” like accidentally losing something and never seeing someone again.

It's the feeling of "lost" that a certain part of the body or a certain part of the heart is missing.

…

(...Tachibana-kun, you...are so brave.)

…

Qingden suddenly recalled the compliment Sanako had given him just now.

Miss Sanako... Qingden's lips curved slightly. I am not "brave".

I just follow what my heart thinks and what my heart wants!

…

…

The blade was swung horizontally, slicing open the main artery in the neck of the enemy who was standing in front of Qingteng's right and was within Qingteng's slashing range without realizing it.

Because Qingteng's height is far above the average adult male of this era, and the blade of Qingteng's sword for killing ghosts and gods is longer than that of ordinary swords, there are often idiots who are not skilled in "miscalculating Qingdeng".

"Deng's attack distance" and killed him.

The moment he killed the enemy who had made a low-level mistake like "misestimating the distance", Qingden slightly raised the blade of Dingguishen, adjusted the direction of the blade, and then struck a tall man directly in front of him.

Unpretentious flat spines.

Although the tall man subconsciously stood half a step to the side in an attempt to avoid Qingdeng's thrust, his slightly lower reaction speed and body skills were not enough to prevent Qingdeng's lightning-fast thrust.

It's a complete fantasy.

Just as the tall man had time to lift his feet, he was stabbed through the chest. There was a "puff" sound, like the sound of liquid splashing out.

"Damn it! Go to hell!"

An imposing shout came from the left side.

At the same time, the smell of someone approaching came from the right side.

Qingdeng quickly looked to his left and right. There was one person on the left and three people on the right... They came over menacingly with their knives, hoping to attack Qingdeng.

Enemies are approaching from both sides... If you continue to stand here stupidly, you will be attacked from both sides.

Qingden took a deep breath, exerted force on his hands, and turned the Ding Guishen's blade forcefully inside the enemy whose chest he had pierced, and opened the muscles that contracted and tightened the Ding Guishen blade due to the severe pain.

While retracting the Ding Guishen, Qingden freed up his left hand and pulled out the wakizashi from the waist of the enemy who was very close to him and who was currently expelling more air than incoming air.

Qingteng now entered the state of holding the katana in his right hand and holding the wakizashi in his left hand.

The reason why he took away this enemy's wakizashi was not because Aoden wanted to perform a double-sword style on a whim.

The Two-Sword Style is a very difficult swordsmanship style. Although Qingteng’s left-hand talent means that the sensitivity of his left half of the body is not inferior to that of his right, the Two-Sword Style cannot be mastered by the left half of the body being agile enough.

If you want to master the two-sword style well, sufficient strength and superb skills are indispensable.

In a word, using the two-sword style hastily without a long period of practice will only cause the swords of the two hands to interfere with each other, and the strength will not increase but decrease.

Qingteng, who had never used the two-sword style before, why was he suddenly holding two swords? Qingteng gave the answer in the next moment.

As his feet slid and he quickly retreated from the enemy he was currently standing on, Qingden bumped into an enemy with a big nose.

The big-nosed man had not yet entered a tense fighting state and was slow to react. After Qingden crashed into his arms, he almost came to his senses, but it was too late.

The moment after he collided with the big nose, Qingden pushed the wakizashi of his left hand into the man's chest, and did not take the wakizashi back, just leaving the wakizashi behind.

Inside the body of this big nose.

When he was separated from the big-nosed man, in order to ensure that this man would die completely, Qingto did not forget to forcefully rotate the wakizashi inside him.

Enrich your own offensive methods - this is why Qingden suddenly picked up the double sword.

At this moment, a loud shout clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"The only one coming is Tachibana Aoden! Here's the chance to avenge our comrades who were killed and injured because of this hateful national traitor! Surround him! Don't let him escape! No matter how good he is in fighting, he can't be the opponent of so many of us.

!”

It's Kamino's voice.

…

…

After a brief period of shock, the members of the anti-barbarian group also came to their senses and reacted.

At first, when they saw Qingden suddenly appear, most people, including Kamino, thought it was official officials from the government.

The government officials are here? How is it possible! How could they come so fast! Our plan has been exposed?

He couldn't help but formulate various conjectures, and his expression couldn't help but change suddenly.

But when they looked around, they found that there were no other official figures around or behind Qingteng, and when they realized that Qingteng seemed to be the only one arriving, Kamino and the others felt... one could say that they were surprised at first and then happy at the same time.

How dare Tachibana Aoden rush over alone? Kamino and others were shocked.

This Tachibana Aoden actually dared to rush over alone! Kamino and others were overjoyed.

Out of caution, Kannomoto also carefully observed the surroundings to see if there were any traps.

But after gradually realizing that he was completely over-worrying and that Tachibana Aoden really attacked them single-handedly, Kamino's face began to glow with joy that he could not hide no matter how hard he tried.

Although I don’t know how Qingdeng discovered so quickly that the settlement was being attacked by their anti-barbarian group, and I don’t know what kind of nerve Qingdeng had to dare to confront them alone without any companions.

Confrontation... But no matter what the answers to these questions are, in short, in Kamino's eyes, what Qingto is doing now is completely like a man running here to seek death.

Before we went to settle the score with you, you, a traitor to the country who had killed a thousand swords, came here to die on your own!

A ferocious smile appeared on Kamino's cheeks.

However, despite the ecstasy, Kamino still maintained the calmness and thinking ability that a leader should have.

Aoto, who is the "third time" official of the Hobifan Institute, actually appeared at this time... This means that the Edo Administrative Office is now likely to know that there is a difference in the residence!

In other words, given a little more time, the Edo Administrative Office and the Huofu Thieves Kai, who are currently cooperating with the Edo Administrative Office to combat the "radical anti-barbarian faction" under the orders of the Edo Shogunate, are likely to arrive...

This Tachibana Aoden might just be sent as a vanguard to carry out advance reconnaissance of the settlement...

Kamino slowly suppressed the ecstatic smile on his face, and his expression became solemn.

If this is indeed the case...then they can't stay in the residence any longer!

Then, Kamino, who made a decisive decision, opened his voice and shouted out the words just now, "The only one coming..."

Qingdeng, who had a bloody feud with them to fight against the barbarians, was one of Kamino's sure-fire targets.

Since this hateful national thief who will be killed sooner or later has arrived tonight... there is no reason not to swallow this gift that is like "pie in the sky"!

Kamino's current plan is quite clear - kill all the barbarians in Qingteng and Bright's mansion before the large government troops arrive!
To be continued...
