——Okay, so fast!

The blood loss and the extreme shock in his heart made Zuo Nazi's face instantly turn as pale as snow.

The unexpected change made her mind wander for a moment, and she finally regained her composure.

"Iaido Road...!"

There is no doubt that the trick the young man used just now is the correct Iaido!

Iaido - the "Bath Sword Technique" that is familiar to the public.

Zuo Nazi has seen many experts who are good at this art. For example, Qingdeng is one of the masters.

But this was the first time she had seen such a fast Iai swordsmanship!

Even Qingdeng, his sword-drawing skills are not as fast as this!

"Ugh...!"

Zuo Nazi took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and slowly straightened his back, but suddenly he stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground.

A strong feeling of dizziness hit her brain.

The accumulated fatigue and the constant outflow of blood brought her body to the edge.

Let alone swinging the sword to attack the enemy, just holding the naginata in your hand is already very laborious.

However...even so, Zuo Nazi's fingers not only did not loosen their grip, but instead tightened their grip on the handle of the knife even harder.

Seeing this, the young man slowly put away the smile on his face.

"You can't fight anymore, why don't you put down the knife in your hand?"

"It is the shame of a warrior to lay down his weapons before he is killed in battle..."

Zuo Nazi said calmly.

"……amazing."

The young man twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a strange expression that was half a smile but not a smile.

"You are obviously injured like this, but you still maintain an unyielding fighting spirit. If the shogunate and all the samurai in the feudal country could be as noble as you..."

The young man hasn't finished speaking yet——

Whoosh!

Suddenly, not far away, there was the sound of an arrow piercing the air!

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head suddenly following the sound.

The sharp wind made the hair on his face stand up.

Soon enough, the sharp arrow had already reached three inches in front of his nose.

Zuo Nazi was stunned.

It wasn't because the arrow was lost suddenly, nor because the young man's head was shot.

But it was because after the arrow flew to a position within a few feet of the young man, it stopped flying. It stopped abruptly in mid-air, in the young man's big hand!

Da da da da da da!

The dense and powerful footsteps approached the young man from the side and the front like chasing wind and lightning.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow leaped high.

The blade of Echizen Tsutashi Rikushou Kaneshige went straight towards the young man's Tenreigai!

The young man's face shrank slightly, then he dropped the arrow in his hand without warning and drew his sword out of its sheath.

clang!

The blades struck each other in the air.

The reaction force that seemed to sweep the knife away was transmitted along the blade and handle to Qingdeng's palms.

——This guy... may not be strong in stature, but his strength is incredible!

When he saw the young man's nimble yet steady and flawless figure, Qingdeng immediately felt something bad.

After years of hard training and fighting to the death, his "combat intuition" was honed, which frantically sounded the alarm for him - this man was very dangerous! He was definitely not an easy person that bows and arrows could deal with!

In order to save Zuo Nazi, Qingdeng rushed towards the young man without hesitation.

While sprinting with all his strength, Qingdeng raised his bow and fired, trying to interfere with the young man. After he got close to a suitable distance, he immediately threw away the bow in his hand, discarded the quiver on his right waist, and jumped towards the young man.

Thus, the current scene emerged.

At this time, Qingdeng felt his heart beating rapidly and the adrenaline in his body surged rapidly.

This is a manifestation of the "lonely" campaign.

Qingdeng couldn't help being surprised by this.

There are two activation conditions for "Lonely Daring".

First, face multiple enemies.

Second, face an enemy far stronger than yourself.

The latter's activation condition has not been triggered by Qingdeng for a long time...

The only opponent facing Qingdeng was this mysterious young man.

Since "Lonely Daring" is activated right now... that means: this young man's strength is far above him!

Compared with the awe-inspiring Qingdeng, the young man's current state was very special - he grinned and laughed.

"Tall and wearing a bamboo hat... the person who caused heavy losses to my men is you! Well done!"

Keng!

The staggered blades shake the air everywhere.

The two of them adjusted their positions in no particular order and got into a fighting stance.

The Rakshasa's feet seemed to be gliding, stepping forward, and the upper knife slashed diagonally downward, drawing a thrilling arc in the air. The speed of the knife was frightening.

Facing the Rakshasa's cassock slash, Qingteng didn't take a step back. Echizen Tsudasa and Riku Shou Kanazhong crossed his chest and bounced the opponent's sword back with all his strength.

Soon enough, Rakshasa's figure suddenly disappeared from Qingdeng's eyes.

The young man's movements were extremely fast. Even if Qing Deng activated all his talents such as "Gu Gu", "Gathering God", and "Eagle Eye +3", he could only barely see the afterimage of Mo Lake - the young man covered it up with lightning speed.

With the speed of his ears, the cat lowered his waist and dodged to Qingdeng's side and behind.

This place happens to be Qingdeng’s blind spot!

The moment he sensed a slight movement in the air, Qingden instinctively put the knife in his hand over his shoulder and stretched it behind him.

This movement is extremely difficult and requires the arm to be twisted back as if it were broken.

Fortunately, Qingdeng has the talent to enhance body flexibility: "Snake Body".

clang!

After narrowly parrying the young man's slashing attack, Qingdeng ran forward a few steps, adjusting his breath and reorganizing his posture as he ran.

When he turned around, the young man had once again approached his eyes, and his field of vision was filled with clothes flying high.

Buzz!

The blade made a sound.

This attack was a powerful and heavy reverse cassock slash.

At the critical moment, Qingdeng swung his sword to deflect the young man's head-on chop to one side.

The young man followed the forward momentum and passed by Qingdeng.

Their sleeves intersected.

At the moment when the two sides passed each other... one flash! Another flash! Two rays of sword light burst out between the two of them indistinguishably.

The first light of the sword was the young man's slash.

The young man suddenly lowered his body and swung his knife across Qingdeng's chest.

The second sword light was Qingdeng's thrust.

Qingden started with Kasumi Dan, aimed at the young man's waist and abdomen, and unleashed the natural Rishin-ryu thrusting technique: ignorance.

This hand-to-hand confrontation lasted only a moment.

The young man's knife was like a very flexible whip. Although Qingdeng had consciously turned away, he was still hit hard on the left shoulder.

Qingden suddenly felt a touch of coldness on his shoulders.

Then, the coldness turned to pain.

My left shoulder felt like it had been bitten by a tiger, causing severe pain.

As for the young man who was also attacked by Qingdeng... his left sleeve hung down.
To be continued...
