The speed of the knife was so fast that the light and afterimages had no time to dissipate. Because the white light briefly "frozen" in the air, at first glance, the space where the white light passed seemed to be diagonally divided into two halves!

Just when the swords, spirits, and lives of the two swordsmen became one...the victory or defeat was decided.

clang--!

With a deafening bang, the elven-like sparks burst from the intersection of the two knives and flew away.

Two rays of light, one purple and one blue, started a fierce battle with each other. In terms of momentum, there was almost no difference between the two.

However... only one second later, the purple light showed even greater power.

Zhenyue Changguang was bounced aside, and the skewed blade only scratched the clothes and skin of Qingden's shoulders.

As for Vairocana, it swept towards Chiba Eijiro's neck with its remaining strength -

"..."

"..."

It was placed firmly on Chiba Eijiro's neck.

The sharp blade scratched his skin, and the bright red blood flowed along the blade to the blade, and then dripped down one by one.

quiet……

A silence that could be heard as a needle dropped enveloped the entire mountain.

It is obvious who wins and who loses.

However, the spectators present...especially the "Aizen Friends and Family Group" headed by Sanako, Kinoshita Mai, and Souji still need some time to relax their emotions and understand the reality.

Compared to others, Chiba Eijiro behaved very calmly.

He lowered his gaze, glanced at the purple knife on his neck, and then looked at Qingden in front of him.

"...Tachibana-kun, how about it?"

A soft smile appeared on his face.

"All the martial arts masters in Edo were defeated by your sword, and you were crowned the strongest in Edo. How do you feel?"

Qingdeng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"'The Strongest in Edo'? How can I deserve this title!"

"At the end of the day, I just defeated all the apparent martial arts masters in Edo."

"In Edo, there are too many strong men who remain anonymous."

Speaking of this, the figure of Boss Kiryu flashed through his mind.

"Besides Edo, there are Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagasaki. Besides Japan, there are China and other Western countries... How can they have a head?"

"What does it mean to be just 'the strongest in Edo'?"

As soon as Aoto finished speaking, Chiba Eijiro grinned and showed a happy smile.

"Ji Jun, if you think so... that's right! The path to martial arts has no beginning..."

After that, he took a deep breath, fell back, and lay facelessly on his back in the snow, murmuring:

"worn out……"

I won - it was only at this moment that Qingdeng had a real sense of his victory.

In an instant, he felt that all the energy in his body had been drained away, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

He didn't bother to put away the knife, and just imitated Chiba Eijiro's example, using the "free diving" posture, letting his body be pulled by gravity, and fell into Snow's arms.

At this time, cheers sounded from all around, as if the mountain peaks were about to crack and the sky was lifted open, spreading to all directions.

…

…

After Seiichiro Tanani and Kiyone Eda, Eijiro Chiba also became Nioh's defeated general. Nioh's "Edo Conquest" was a complete victory - this breaking news spread throughout the river in less than half a day.

Up and down the house.

Apart from hidden strong men like Mr. Kiryu who have disappeared, Aomori was truly invincible in Edo.

No matter which angle you judge it from, this is an unprecedented and magnificent achievement!

The Japanese like to give people nicknames. This is their racial talent.

Therefore, the scholars and people of Edo gave Ayoto, who was creating history again, a brand new title - "Eastern Country Unparalleled"!

In Japanese geographical concepts, Togoku refers to the area east of Sekigahara.

Kanto, Kai, Ou, Echizen, and Echigo all fall within the scope of Eastern Kingdom.

Therefore, the new title they gave Qingdeng is simply nonsense.

Aoto just conquered Edo, and Edo was only a city in the Kanto region. He couldn't even be called "Kanto Unparalleled", so how could he be called "Togoku Unparalleled"?

However, giving people too exaggerated titles is also one of the racial talents of the Japanese.

Although Qingdeng didn't like this title, he couldn't stop Yuyou from saying it.

Just when the name "Tachibana Aoden" became more and more popular... the things Aoto entrusted to Katsurin Taro to help purchase finally arrived.
