He had only tried splitting arrows before.

At that time, he was already in danger just by splitting an arrow, and the flying speed of the bullet was more than several times faster than that of the arrow?

Although I have been practicing continuously, and at the same time I have copied and upgraded a lot of talents. Compared with the time when I was chopping arrows, my strength has improved a lot, but whether I can successfully chopping down arrows at such a short distance

Revolver bullets... To be honest, he wasn't very confident.

--what to do……?

While Qingdeng was racking his brains to think of countermeasures, he secretly activated his talent "Emperor's Art" to control his current facial expression, forcing himself to look calm and calm.

Yes. The "Aonto's unusual calmness" that Kitahara Konosuke saw at this time was all an illusion created by the "Emperor's Art".

Qingdeng discovered more and more the wonderful uses of the "Emperor's Art".

When fighting the enemy, you can rely on the "Emperor's Technique" to control your expression and demeanor, and prevent yourself from showing any signs of weakness, so as to achieve the effect of frightening the enemy.

Judging from the current situation, Qingdeng's "disguise" has played a big role.

Konosuke Kitahara, who was so proud just now, is now in a dilemma where he dares not act rashly.

But... this will not last long after all.

You can frighten someone for a while, but you can't frighten them forever.

Although Aoto has not figured out why Kitahara Konosuke had to kill him until now, it is an indisputable fact that he and Kitahara Konosuke now have a "must fight to the death" relationship.

Kitahara Konosuke's subordinates also urged him to pull the trigger quickly.

In such a situation, it was destined that Kitahara Konosuke would not be able to let Aoshi go.

So, within a few moments, with a loud shout from Konosuke Kitahara, the brief confrontation in which no one dared to act was broken.

"Ju Qingden! Don't move!"

While saying this, Konosuke Kitahara squeezed the revolver in his hand tighter.

The revolver in his hand was his last trump card against Qingdeng.

The opponent is Nioh, so no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.

Therefore, Kitahara Konosuke decided not to rush to shoot, but to test Aoto first.

"Throw the katana in your hand and the wakizashi on your waist to me!"

Without the sword, I understand that you have nowhere to display your great abilities...Kitahara Konosuke thought to himself.

Following Kōnosuke Kitahara's order, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Aoto's eyes were still locked on Kitahara Konosuke's every move.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Echizen Sumi Hitachi Mori Kaneshige in his hand, as well as the wakizashi at his waist.

Then--

"If you want my knife, just come and get it yourself."

Although Qingdeng's tone was calm, there was a sharp reverberation like a slash hidden deep in his words.

His answer was so resolute, and his resolute eyes seemed to pierce Kitahara Konosuke across from him.

Kitahara Konosuke can't give in - neither can Aoto!

The other party made it clear that it was impossible to let him escape.

If he really handed over the knife, he would really be dead.

——Give it a try...!

Qingden let out a long breath.

Then he spread his legs, lowered his body's center of gravity, turned his right wrist, made a graceful sword gesture, and changed the Echizenzumi Tsunaki Mori Kanju in his hand from an upright grip to an inverted grip.

"If you dare, shoot."

"I want to see which one is faster, your gun or my sword!"

Having said that, Aoto put the Echizenzumi Hitachikamaru Kaneshita he was holding upside down and returned it to its sheath. He held the sheath with his left hand and lightly placed the handle of the sword with his right hand.

It's exactly the starting stance of Ba Dao Shu·Liu Guang!

Aoto's move made Kithara Konosuke and others look surprised.

Although they didn't say a word, their current expressions have revealed their psychological activities at this time——

Hey, hey, hey, is this guy's brain okay? Is he planning to rely on sword drawing skills to resist fire weapons?

Is he crazy?

Huh! This animal is just struggling to its death!

…

Kitahara Konosuke's subordinates generally thought that Aoto's brain was funny, or they thought that Aoto was fighting a trapped beast.

But their leader...Konosuke Kitahara is not as optimistic as them.

The moment he saw Qingdeng in the sword-drawing stance, his suspicion that Qingdeng had reached the level of "cutting bullets" suddenly ignited like a fire touched by oil.

Aoto's tough attitude exceeded Kitahara Konosuke's expectations.

His words directly pushed the tense atmosphere at the scene to a peak that could no longer be lowered.

At this moment, Kitahara Konosuke has no other option in front of him except challenge.

At this point, even if he felt uneasy, he could not say or make any retreating words or actions.

"……good!"

Kithara Konosuke gritted his teeth.

"Then I will make it happen for you!"

At this moment, the surrounding air solidified.

Aomori carefully measured the distance between himself and Kitahara Konosuke.

The distance between him and the other party is about 10 steps.

As long as he gets within 2 steps of Kitahara Konosuke, his sword will be able to cut Kitahara Konosuke.

In other words, he needs to survive the barrage for 8 steps...

To cut down flying bullets, outstanding dynamic vision and good reaction speed are indispensable.

Qingdeng's "Eagle Eye" has been upgraded to "Eagle Eye +2" through previous talent fusions.

And the "Speed ​​+4" that improves reaction speed has a dazzling suffix of "+4".

Coupled with the blessing of powerful talents such as "Lonely Brave", "Gathering God", and "God Brain +9"...it might not be impossible to fight!

But...this is gambling after all.

Whether it will succeed or not, Qingdeng can't guarantee it.

At this time, for some reason, familiar faces appeared in Qingdeng's mind.

Souji, Mai Kinoshita, Sanako, Elodie, Boss Kiryu, Kondo, Hijikata, Saito...

Qingdeng looked at each familiar and friendly face one by one as if watching an old movie.

Obviously, after all calculations, the separation time between Qingto and Souji and others was only more than half a month, but he somehow felt as if he had been separated from them for a century.

——There are still many people waiting for me to come home...

Dots of precise light gradually appeared in Qingdeng's eyes.

——How could I die at the hands of such an unknown kid...!

His body acted as if controlled by the determination in his heart. His eyelids sunk slightly, and he exuded a strange aura that was difficult to describe in specific words.

Detailing Qingdeng's inner thoughts in such detail makes it seem like a long time has passed.

In fact, everything happens at the click of a finger.

This unique showdown of "Knife vs. Pistol"... the person who opened the curtain is Kitahara Konosuke!

Bang! Bang!

The deafening gunfire shook the air! It rang through the night!

I don't know whether it was because he cherished bullets or because he thought that only two bullets were enough to kill Aonto, Kitahara Konosuke only pulled the trigger twice.

At the moment when the bullet came out of the barrel, Qingdeng's system interface underwent a change that even he didn't know about!

In the talent list, the entry for the eternal talent "Dragon of Reversal" emits little bits of crystal purple light!

--Um?

Qingdeng exclaimed in disbelief.

At this moment, he was shocked to find that the world in front of him suddenly became very strange - everything he saw became so slow, so slow...

It's like turning on a slow-motion video recorder.
To be continued...
