I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 752 [Yuan Yang +7]! Qing Deng's kidneys are getting better and better! [6700]

  "Tsk! Damn it! The ghost is still lingering!"

Okada Izou looked sullen, jumped up, knife in hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.

  Takechi Hanpeita frowned, his face solemn:

"Izo, be careful, the one coming is 'Niou' Tachibana Aoto!"

Okada Izo's pupils shrank slightly.

He was stunned at first, then he pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered a few times.

"Tachibana Aoto... Oh, the famous 'Niou' Tachibana Aoto actually came in person. I am really flattered."

……

……

Outside the woods——

Although Takechi Hanpeita and Okada Izo managed to escape from the small dilapidated temple where they had originally hidden, the Shinsengumi kept a close eye on their trail.

The soldiers of the 1st, 4th and 5th squads continued to pursue and narrow the blockade.

  How easy would it be to escape from the Shinsengumi's sight in the sparsely populated suburbs in broad daylight?

As soon as the two of them escaped into the woods, the Shinsengumi tracked them down and surrounded the place.

Looking around, all the soldiers outside the woods were ready to go.

With just a single command from Aoto, they will launch a general attack! Find Takechi Hanpeita and Okada Izo

  The current situation of these two people... is truly like they can't escape even if they have wings!

Qing Deng stood with his hands behind his back.

The captains of the 1st, 4th and 5th squads... Souji, Kamo Serizawa and Niimi Nishiki were standing quietly behind him.

  Qing Deng raised his head and said:

"Takechi-kun, surrender!"

"We have had some interactions."

"If I can help it, I don't want to fight you."

"If you can put down your weapons and come out of the woods obediently, it will be good for both you and me."

What Qing Deng meant by "there had been some intersections" was that he paid a sky-high price of 10 taels of gold in exchange for Iwasaki Yataro's personal freedom from Takechi Hanpeita.

As early as that time, Qing Deng had made a judgment based on the quality of the members of the Tosa Kinno Party, their ideological concepts and other appearances: it would not be long before the Tosa Kinno Party would be destroyed!

  This kind of organization, whose members have their own ulterior motives and whose ideas are extremely immature, has inherent flaws, and these flaws are extremely fatal!

It would be a miracle if such an organization could succeed.

Therefore, Qing Deng had no intention from the beginning to pay this organization that would eventually fail.

To this day, his promise of "10 taels of gold" remains verbal and not a penny has been delivered.

Facts proved that it was just as Qing Deng had expected - the Tosa Loyalist Party was defeated, and it was defeated very quickly and suddenly.

It looked just like a piece of toilet paper, which Shantou Doutang threw away after wiping his butt.

In just one night, the once glorious Tosa Loyalist Party came to a tragic end.

……

……

In the woods——

“Damn it…! Damn it…! Who will surrender…!”

Okada Izou cursed loudly, his face full of anger.

"Kill if you want to kill, fight if you want to fight, why waste your words!"

He spoke beautifully, looking righteous and fearless.

However...his eyes couldn't help but flash with fear.

The King of Ren is here in person... His composure is not yet strong enough to remain calm in the face of such news!

Okada Izo had just secretly climbed up a nearby big tree and was quietly checking out the movements outside the woods - wherever he could see, there were light green feathers everywhere!

For the first time in his life, he hated light green color so much.

No matter how conceited Okada Izo was, or how confident he was in his own abilities, he would not dare to say that he could kill the vast number of enemy soldiers outside the woods with Nioh in charge.

"..."

He groaned secretly, his cheeks filled with a thoughtful and hesitant expression.

  In a moment, he suppressed his fear and hesitation, and said to Takechi Hanpeita beside him in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Teacher, I'm going to attract the Shinsengumi's attention, and you take this opportunity to escape!"

To fight against the army led by Qing Deng on one's own... Even if you use your butt to think about it, you will know that this mission is not just a matter of one chance of death, but a matter of ten chances of survival!

Looking at Okada Izo who was about to die, Takechi Hanpeita said nothing at first, then silently drew the sword from his waist with a determined look.

"Izo, I'm serious, leave me be and run for your life!"

"It's me that Tachibana Aoto wants, not you."

"As long as they catch me, I'm sure they won't embarrass you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Okada Izo:

"Teacher, I am serious too!"

"I am just a rough man, without much knowledge or cultivation."

"But I still understand the simple truth that 'a gentleman will die for his friend'!"

"For you, I am not afraid of sacrifice!"

After that, he said no more and turned and ran out of the woods.

"Teacher! Go!"

Takechi Hanpeita stared blankly at Okada Izo who was getting farther and farther away.

After a while, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction of Okada Izo.

……

……

The sound of grass and soil being trampled.

The sound of branches being broken.

Someone is running towards this side!

In a moment, the face of the visitor came clearly into the eyes of Qing Deng and others.

  Xin Jianjin whispered to Qing Deng:

"Mr. Tachibana, this person is Okada Izo."

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? He is 'Hitman Izang'..."

Zongsi raised his hand and pressed the knife, took a step forward and walked in front of Qingdeng.

"Ju Jun, leave this person to me..."

  Before she finished her words, Qing Deng interrupted her and said:

"General, in my opinion, this is probably a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"'Ren Zhan Yi Zang' deliberately made a huge noise to attract our attention."

"Takechi Hanpeita should be fleeing in another direction now."

"I'll leave Takechi Hanpeita to you."

"Go after Takechi Hanpeita."

"I'll take care of 'Human Killer Izou'!"

Souji blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, then nodded slightly and quickly retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Kame Serizawa and Niimi Nishiki also retreated.

Clank, clang, clang... Qingdeng pulled out the Vairocana from his waist and stepped forward.

  The purple blade light shot towards the sky!

The soldiers along the way consciously stepped back to make room for the fight.

Although I didn't tell Souji and the others explicitly, they should have thought of it.

  The reason why Qing Deng came to the front line was to compete with Okada Izo, one of the "Four Great Killers" who almost killed Fujido Heisuke! To see how powerful the other party is!

Ever since I copied the talent "Foresight +9" from Kawakami Hikosai, I have yet to test its power!

Seeing someone coming towards him, Okada Izo immediately perked up.

Although no one introduced him to the man, his subconscious mind had already determined that this man was "Niou" Tachibana Aoto!

In a flash, Okada Izo raised his sword above his head and let out a piercing roar:

“WHAAAA ...

  Show the flow!

Such a harsh sound of air and breath is not worth thinking of other than demonstrating the flow.

Seeing this, Qing Deng chuckled meaningfully a few times, then held the knife with both hands and raised it over his head like Okada Izo.

“WHAAAA ...

  It is also a manifestation flow!

They both assumed the opening stance of the Demonstration Flow.

  The next moment, the two swords chopped down at the same time collided in the air!

clang--! ! !

The loud sound makes people wonder, "Are these still two knives colliding? Are they really not two sledgehammers?"

The extremely violent air wave, centered on the point where the two swords met, rolled out in all directions.

The soldiers who were watching the battle nearby were all affected by the gust of wind and could not help but lower their eyelids to filter out the strong wind with their eyelashes.

However, in the blink of an eye, the outcome of this sudden confrontation was decided.

With a loud bang, as if he was bounced away by an invisible shock wave, Okada Izo was like a standing long jump athlete, except that he was not jumping forward, but backward.

He "leaped" backwards nearly 3 meters before he could barely steady his body.

Qing Deng, on the other hand, stood still as a mountain, maintaining his sword-drawing stance, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Even a person who knows nothing about martial arts can tell at a glance who the winner is.

"Tsk...!"

Okada Izo smacked his lips hard, his expression became extremely solemn, and he raced against time to relax the ten fingers of his swollen hands.

At the same time, Qing Deng was also moving his wrists.

Although he had successfully repelled Okada Izo, the opponent's heavy blow made his hands numb.

  It has been a long time since he encountered an opponent who could make his palms numb!

——It takes some skill to force Heisuke into a desperate situation.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Deng suddenly felt the fighting spirit in his heart boiling!

He never expected that within just one month, he would become an enemy of another Renzhan after "Renzhan Yanzhai".

  But... this is just perfect!

As his strength grows day by day, there are fewer and fewer opponents who can arouse his interest and motivation!

"My brother was 'taken care of' by you a while ago."

As he spoke, there was a “clang” sound—Qingdeng raised Vairocana and started from the middle section.

"Come on, 'Hitman Izang', let me see how capable you are."

Seeing that the opponent opposite him was ready for fighting, Okada Izo did not dare to delay and immediately raised his sword and adopted the Blue Eyes form.

There was a tense atmosphere at the scene.

  The atmosphere between Qing Deng and Okada Izo...if I had to describe it in one word, it would be explosive!

People watching the fight couldn't help but hold their breath, for fear of making any sound.

The silence is only for a moment.

"Look at the knife!"

Before he could finish his words, he raised his hand with a "hum" sound, and the blade in Okada Izang's palm drew a thrilling arc in the air and went straight towards Qingdeng's eyes.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a swift blow like thunder.

However, Qing Deng didn't even look at this "Thunder Slash". He took half a step back as if strolling in the garden and dodged the attack very easily.

You retreat and he advances - Okada Izo steps forward and pursues relentlessly.

One knife, two knives, three knives, four knives... the continuous chopping like waves outlined a large silver net in the air, covering Qingdeng with overwhelming force.

Although his momentum cannot be underestimated, Qing Deng is still able to handle it with ease.

He could always find the imperceptible gaps in this "silver net" and then "drill" through them swiftly.

Less than half a minute had passed since the two of them started fighting.

In such a short period of time, Okada Izo had already slashed dozens of times, each of which was fatal and aimed at Qingdeng's vital points.

  I have to say, its cutting speed and accuracy are really amazing!

But the result... So far, his blade couldn't even touch the corner of Qing Deng's clothes!

Qing Deng was like a magnet that repelled the blade - whenever the blade attacked, he would automatically dodge.

The closer the blade got to him, the more he would dodge.

  --impossible……!

Okada Izo stared with wide eyes, bloodshot beginning to appear in the whites of his eyes.

  ——Impossible…!

He clenched his teeth and tensed all the nerves and muscles in his body, trying to force out all the hidden strength in his body.

  ——How could the gap between him and me be so huge...!

He had already tried his best and used every trick he could think of.

However… However…

  He used all his knowledge to strike out with his sword, but he couldn't even hurt a single hair of Qing Deng!

In fact, Okada Izo made the same mistake as Nasu Shingo and others who fell under Aoto's sword before - he underestimated Aoto and overestimated himself. Even if I can't defeat Niou, I can always fight him with my skills! Maybe I can even leave one or two deep wounds on him!

Okada Izou didn't expect to be able to defeat Aoto on his own.

From the very beginning, his goal was to delay Aoto and the Shinsengumi's main force to buy time for Takechi Hanpeita's escape.

If conditions permit, try to injure Qing Deng as much as possible.

In this way, he could die with his eyes closed.

  The swordsman who wounded "Niou"... this is a reputation that is enough to make him famous all over the world!

But the result... he never expected that what he would face was such a one-sided crushing!

——I am clearly Mr. Takechi’s most favored student…

——I am obviously the strongest member of the Tosa Loyalist Party

——I am the one who “kills people and hides them”!

Swordsmanship is the skill that Okada Izo relies on for his livelihood, and it is also his pride.

His self-esteem was damaged, coupled with his worry about Takechi Hanpeita and his anxiety about not being able to hit Qing Deng, his eyes gradually turned red.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

He roared, swinging the blade even harder.

Some people with keen perception can now more or less see that Qing Deng seems to be experimenting with something.

Apart from the initial sword fight, Qing Deng did not take any further offensive measures.

He lowered his arms, letting the tip of the knife touch the ground, maintaining the lower part of the posture, dodging the opponent's attacks without counterattacking.

——No wonder Kawakami Hikosai can always dodge my sword.

Looking at the blade in front of him that was cutting through the air again, Qing Deng couldn't help but feel emotional.

Every time Okada Izo launched an attack, a strong signal would be sent deep in Qing Deng's mind.

This signal also pointed out the direction from which the danger was coming.

There is no doubt that this is the effect of the new talent he just acquired - Foresight +9!

He has a strong ability to sense impending dangers around him, and the degree of his sensitivity increases with the severity of the danger. However, this ability will not be triggered for people and objects that he subjectively judges to be non-threatening - even if he only reads the text description, he can vaguely sense its power.

Qing Deng knew that this was an immeasurable powerful talent, but it was not until this moment, until he was put into actual combat, that he deeply realized its power!

  If we only talk about the "early warning capability", its effect is far superior to "super speed + 6"!

It is really just as its name suggests, as if it has the ability to predict the future!

However, this talent only targets hostile behavior.

In other words, this talent will not be activated for non-hostile behaviors.

  No matter what, this is a god-level talent that is comparable to talents such as "God's Brain +9" and "Blood Lock +7"!

Its early warning capability, coupled with Qing Deng's extremely abnormal body functions, allows it to dodge enemy attacks effortlessly.

In short, with the help of this talent, Qing Deng's reaction speed and dodging ability have been greatly improved!

Qing Deng originally wanted to fight with Okada Izo for a few more rounds to continue testing the limits of "Foresight +9".

But he didn't expect... before he even fought back, the opponent collapsed first.

At first glance, it seemed that Okada Izo was getting braver and braver as the battle went on, and his swordsmanship was becoming more and more fierce.

Others might not notice anything unusual, but Qing Deng, as the opponent, could clearly sense that Okada Izo had become weaker.

To put it bluntly, Okada Izo's current swordsmanship is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

In the world of martial arts, the most important thing is to have a calm mind.

Once you lose your composure, you won't be able to make the right judgment, and the blade you use to chop will lose its original sharpness due to the impetuousness.

Qing Deng could tell at a glance that the other person was in a state of confusion.

He was now attacking just for the sake of attacking, hitting randomly.

His anxiety was like dropping a drop of ink into clear water - although it was only a small drop of ink, it made the whole basin of water turbid.

The threat he poses to Qing Deng now is not as great as before.

Qing Deng couldn't help but feel disappointed about this.

"...Boy, before you defeat the enemies of the sword, you must first defeat the enemies of the heart."

The moment he finished speaking, Qing Deng jumped up lightly and easily avoided another attack from the opponent.

  The moment he landed, the Vairocana in his hand slashed down from the air! Straight to Okada Izo's face!

This strike of his was more powerful and terrifying than any other strike that Okada Izo had just swung!

Okada Izo was horrified and subconsciously raised his knife to block it.

With a loud clang, he barely blocked Qing Deng's attack.

However, due to his hasty defense and the fact that his strength was not as good as Qing Deng's, although he took the knife, he could not withstand the huge force transmitted to him, and he took several steps back and then fell to the ground.

"What's wrong? Stand up quickly."

Qing Deng dragged the knife and walked slowly towards Okada Izo with an indifferent expression.

"hateful……!"

Okada Izo cursed inwardly and struggled to sit up.

“WHAAAA ...

It is another manifestation flow.

With great momentum, he swung his sword and rushed forward, rushing towards Qing Deng.

Qing Deng first jumped sideways, and while dodging the move, he flashed to the side of Okada Izo, and kicked out with a "whoosh", hitting the opponent's stomach.

"Pooh!"

He screamed, flew backwards, and then fell heavily to the ground.

“Ugh…Ugh…Ugh!”

He felt his stomach churning and his intestines seemed to be twisted into a ball.

Before he could even get up, he vomited uncontrollably, vomiting out everything in his stomach, even the bile.

"The battle isn't over yet, stand up quickly."

The same slow pace.

The same indifferent expression.

Okada Izo wiped his mouth angrily, forced himself to stand up and regroup.

……

Another midsection kick and Okada Izo fell to the ground again.

"What's wrong? Is that all? Hurry up and stand up."

……

Qing Deng swung his knife diagonally, and Okada Izo was unable to dodge it completely, leaving a glaring cut on his chest that oozed blood like oil.

"Is this the level of the strongest swordsman of the Tosa Loyalists?"

……

Qing Deng made a feint with his sword, and Okada Izo misjudged his move. When he hastily changed his moves, his lower body became seriously unstable. After staggering a few times, he fell heavily to the ground.

"You can't even do the most basic things like stabilize your lower body and keep your feet firmly on the ground?"

……

Cat playing with mouse - this phrase is the most appropriate to describe the battle between Qing Deng and Okada Izo.

Qing Deng's moves were so casual.

It could be the ordinary horizontal and vertical chops, or the straight forward punching and kicking.

However, even with such an ordinary move, Okada Izo couldn't resist it!

He fought back again and again, but was knocked to the ground again and again.

During this process, his expression changed noticeably and gradually.

At first, there was a fighting spirit.

Then comes resentment.

Then came resentment and frustration.

And now...it's timidity and fear.

The swordsmanship that he was so proud of was like a child's acrobatics in front of Qing Deng...

It was as if Qing Deng was teasing him on purpose. He had countless opportunities to kill him, but he just didn't do it. He just teased him, played with him, and toyed with him...

It is difficult to describe with concrete words the psychological blow that Okada Izo endured.

At this moment, he sincerely felt powerless,

His life was held in Qing Deng's hands, and he could do whatever he wanted to him - just like those poor people he had killed before.

After falling to the ground again, he did not get up again.

He collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath.

The tip of the knife scraping the ground, the silent footsteps...his vision was once again filled with the "heavy" figure slowly walking towards him.

Qing Deng walked to the best attacking position, then held the knife in his right hand, raised it over his head, and pointed the tip of the knife to the sky.

In the sunlight, Vairocana reflects a purple glow.

Looking at the blade that had been raised and was ready to chop down at any time, Okada Izo's cheeks were filled with fear.

To be more precise, this is not simply fear.

  Mixed in with it is the despair of having one's self-confidence completely destroyed!

This time, he didn't dodge or defend.

“Ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

He first groaned without objection, then screamed, and then subconsciously hugged his head and "stuck" it into the ground like an ostrich, his back arched and his whole body shaking.

It seemed that as long as he hid his head in the darkness, Qing Deng's knife would not hit him.

Seeing this, Qing Deng narrowed his eyes——

  hum!

The blade cuts down.

Something broke and flew out horizontally.

Looking closely, this thing is not Okada Izo's head, but his bun.

As his bun fell off, Okada Izo's hair spread out.

The top of his head was bald due to a shaved top, and the hair on both sides of his head was scattered... He looked just like a kappa, as disheveled as could be.

【Ding! Scan to talent]

[Successfully copied talent: "Yuan Yang +3"]

[Talent Introduction: Kidneys are not prone to disease, and kidney energy is much fuller and healthier than that of ordinary people]

【Ding! It is detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

【Ding! Start talent fusion]

[Ding! "Yuan Yang +4" and "Yuan Yang +3" begin to merge]

[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]

【Ding! Talent fusion successful]

[“Yuan Yang +4” ability upgrade——“Yuan Yang +7”]

According to Japanese samurai culture, a bun is the life of a samurai.

Having one's hair cut off is equivalent to having one's head cut off, which is a great humiliation. One can either kill the other person in return to wash away the shame, or commit seppuku in public to defend one's honor.

"Tie him up."

Qing Deng turned and said to the soldier beside him.

"Lord Niou, aren't you going to kill him?"

Qingden shook his head gently.

"Yamano-no-dō specifically wants the lives of Takechi Hanpeita and Okada Izo."

"In that case, let's do a favor."

"They won't survive long anyway after we hand them over to Yamanouchou."

Qing Deng can now be considered a politician.

Therefore, he knew very well why Yamauchi Dodo specifically wanted Okada Izo to be kept alive.

Most likely, it was to interrogate Okada Izo, force him to tell the truth, and confirm the evidence of Takechi Hanpeita's "instructing Okada Izo to kill people everywhere"!
