"Be careful! He is Captain Nagakura Shinpachi of the Second Division!"

"Come together!"

"Don't let him have a chance to breathe!"

Several knives and bayonets attacked Nagakura Shinpachi from different directions.

As a Shinto Muken-ryu swordsman, Nagakura Shinpachi’s fighting style focuses on being simple and rough!

He calmly rolled his eyes, scanned the surrounding area, and confirmed the location of the enemies. Then, while steadying the Banshu handle in his palm, Yamashishige shouted:

"Anyone who is tired of living, feel free to come forward! I, Nagakura Shinpachi, will give you a ride!"

After that, he took a deep breath, put all his strength into his waist, and effortlessly chopped down the first enemy soldier in front of him, then folded the knife to the right and killed the second enemy soldier on the right side.

When he took the knife back, the third man fell to the ground.

Then, he quickly changed his steps and slipped under the swords of the two men.

After dodging, he stepped firmly, turned around and slashed twice - the fourth person was killed, and the fifth person was killed!

In this way, the "encirclement" around him completely collapsed!

In a matter of seconds, the sixth enemy soldier raised his sword and used the momentum of the charge to slash Nagakura Shinpachi's Tenling Gai.

The momentum of this attack is completely different!

Nagakura Shinpachi did not dare to be careless, raised his sword above his head, and received the blow forcefully.

As a well-known strongman and strongman of the Shinsengumi, Nagakura Shinpachi was never afraid of fighting with others.

He caught the opponent's slash with ease, and neither the knife in his palm nor his whole body moved at all.

It's just...feeling the huge force transmitted from the blade, his expression changed slightly.

——Such strength... is so abnormal!

Although he was full of shock, he quickly recovered and used a fierce force to deflect the opponent's knife.

The opponent's reaction speed is extremely fast.

After the knife in his palm was bounced away, he immediately jumped back to clear the distance.

His speed is very fast, what a pity... Nagakura Shinpachi has already predicted his movements!

The opponent retreated, and Nagakura Shinpachi advanced—their movements were almost in no particular order.

While advancing in front of the opponent, Nagakura Shinpachi used smooth movements to lay the blade flat, and then stabbed the opponent's chest with all his strength!

The flat blade directly penetrates the gap between the ribs and comes out through the back!

This is a natural technique of Rishin-ryu.

Since joining the Shoeikan, he has learned a lot of natural Rishin-ryu moves from Aoto and Isamu Kondo.

For any swordsmanship school that focuses on actual combat, no matter which sect or discipline it is, its most powerful move is definitely "stab".

This is a very simple truth.

Just the two points of "stabbing are easier to exert force" and "stabbing can cause great damage to the human body" are enough to make "stabbing" always sit on the throne of "the strongest move".

On the other hand, "stabbing" is a very risky move.

First of all, after the knife is inserted into the human body, the muscles around the blade will contract due to severe pain, thereby clamping the blade and making it difficult to pull it out.

Secondly, if you encounter a ruthless person with a strong will and leave the blade in his body, it may lead to serious consequences!

For example: Nagakura Shinpachi is facing this kind of danger now!

After piercing the opponent's body, Nagakura Shinpachi skillfully rotated the blade, paring away the flesh and blood clamping the blade, and prepared to withdraw the knife back to his hand.

But at this moment, the opponent suddenly raised his hands and tightly grasped Nagakura Shinpachi's right arm! He would not let him draw the knife, nor would he let him leave!

The sudden change made Nagakura Shinpachi startled.

The chest was pierced, one lung was directly scrapped, and the blood flowed back into the lung... It stands to reason that if an ordinary person was seriously injured like this, let alone put up a fight, even if he did not lose consciousness on the spot, he would definitely be unable to stand!

Shocked, shocked, his hand movements were not slow at all.

After his right arm was restrained, he reacted instantly and subconsciously withdrew his right hand.

However...the other party is extremely powerful!

He felt as if his right arm was clamped by two iron pincers.

Perhaps because of his determination to die, the opponent burst out with astonishing power. No matter how hard Nagakura Shinpachi tried, he could not escape the opponent's control.

Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone...

Suddenly, out of the corner of his right eye, he saw an enemy soldier not far to his right, raising a flintlock gun in his hand and aiming at his body!

At such a close distance, even a flintlock gun with an extremely low hit rate has no chance of hitting the target!

Almost at the same time Nagakura Shinpachi discovered the musketeer, the latter pulled the trigger without hesitation——

Bang!

The bullet went out.

In an instant, a chill jumped from Nagakura Shinpachi's heels to his Tianling Gai - this was a sense of crisis that he had not experienced in a long time!

At this critical moment... a tall figure suddenly rushed out from the diagonal thorn, standing between Nagakura Shinpachi and the musketeer.

In an instant, a cold light flashed in the air - the blade of the Bizen Nagabune chopped the bullet impartially!

In the next breath, he pulled out the waistband from his waist and threw it with all his strength.

Wakizashi drew a straight silver line and hit the musketeer in the forehead.

At the same time, Nagakura Shinpachi finally got rid of control.

Seeing that the opponent's strength was so great that it was difficult to withdraw his right hand and the knife with brute force alone, he simply freed up his left hand, pulled out the wakizashi from his waist, and chopped off both of the opponent's arms. In this way, he naturally got rid of the opponent's entanglement.

His desperate struggle ended in failure... The other party seemed to have given up completely, his eyes bulged, his pupils were dilated, and he made no sound.

After regaining his freedom, Nagakura Shinpachi adjusted his breathing while turning his head to look at Aomori who appeared in time to save his life.

"Mr. Orange, thank you..."

Qingdeng said calmly:

"Xinpachi, don't be careless, the enemy soldiers are very strange today."

Nagakura Shinpachi nodded solemnly:

"Yes, I understand."

"Qingden!"

Suddenly, the commander-in-chief's shout came from behind.

Ayoto and Nagakura Shinpachi both turned their heads and looked back - Souji was running towards them quickly with a blood-stained blade in his hand.

Saito followed closely behind him, scanning the surroundings as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

After moving in front of Qingto, the Souji said quickly with a serious tone:

"Qingdeng, the situation is not good. Today's enemy forces are extremely difficult! If we don't try to do something, our front line... may collapse!"

Qingdeng didn't say anything after hearing this.

He neither made a sound nor showed any expression, and there was neither sadness nor joy on his face.

He silently raised his gaze and observed his surroundings.

"Kill! Kill all the lackeys of the shogunate!"

"Don't step back! Even if you just step back, it will bring shame to the light green feathers on our bodies!"

"They are about to die! Fight them off in one go! Drive them back to the foot of the mountain!"

"Damn it! What's going on with these guys! Even yesterday they looked like they couldn't help but beat them...!"

Anyone with long eyes can see at a glance: Team Qi has an overwhelming advantage!

Since just now, Qingdeng has been observing those unusually brave enemy soldiers.

Soon, he discovered that these people all had one thing in common: their eyes were extremely focused! They were so focused that it made people feel like they were going crazy!

This frighteningly focused look... reminded Qingdeng of the "state of selflessness".

Have these guys all entered the "selfless state"?

Whether it is his outstanding physical functions or his extraordinary fighting will, there is indeed a shadow of the "selfless state" - of course, only a "shadow".

Although it was only once, Qingdeng had indeed entered the "selfless state" and experienced its power personally.

Therefore, he is very sure: If it is a true "selfless state", then the combat effectiveness displayed by these guys is by no means only this level.

However...even if their performance is far inferior to the true "selfless state", it is still enough to defeat the Shinsengumi!

Even captains such as Nagakura Shinpachi and Toudo Heisuke suffered heavy losses, let alone ordinary team members with average strength.
