I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 921: The King of Ren shows his might! An overwhelming offensive! [5200]

"Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough!! Cough cough cough cough!!!"

The coughing continued and became more intense.

Her body trembled and her shoulders tightened from coughing.

Tick…tick…tick…tick…tick…tick…

Drop after drop of blood slid down from between her fingers and dripped onto the ground.

The right palm that was covering the mouth and nose was stained red.

The light green haori, which had originally only been stained with the enemy's blood, was stained with her blood for the first time.

Seeing Souji suddenly coughing and vomiting blood, the enemy on the opposite side was stunned.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a grin of barely suppressed excitement.

Although he didn't know what was going on, anyone could see that Souji was very weak at the moment!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

He immediately pulled himself together, no longer showing the cowardly look of "fearing the enemy and fighting". He shouted, stepped forward, and swung his sword to chop the general's forehead.

The blade caught the wind and made a "humming" sound.

Seeing the danger coming, Souji clenched his teeth and suppressed the remaining cough in his throat, then relied on the fighting instinct accumulated over a long period of time to barely dodge to the side.

The blade landed just half an inch from her feet, the tip of the knife sinking deep into the mud.

The opponent was determined to win, and believed that this sword of his would definitely kill Souji, and thus obtain the glorious military exploit of "Zhanzhan Tianjian" that would be recorded in history.

He never expected that the frail Souji still possessed such abilities...!
The other party was so angry that he hurriedly pulled out the knife and tried to pull it back to his hand.

Just as he pulled the knife out of the ground, he saw a flash of silver light - in a split second, Souji swung the knife horizontally, and the blade hit the opponent's right side of the knife.

The blade is the most vulnerable part of the knife.

If the blade suffers a severe blow, even an unnamed sword has a chance to cut off a famous sword!

There was a clang sound and blue sparks flew in the air - Souji cut off the opponent's sword, destroying his weapon.

"Varied……"

The other person's eyes widened, his expression dominated by intense shock, and he blurted out "What".

Before he could utter a complete sentence, the petite body suddenly pounced forward and passed him by - with a "shua" sound, he heard the sound of the blade cutting flesh.

Immediately afterwards, unbearable pain spread from his neck to all over his body.

Because everything happened so quickly, it was not until Souji finished his attack that he realized belatedly that only a small piece of flesh was left connecting his head to his body.

At the last moment of his life, he heard the indifferent voice of "Heavenly Sword":

"Even if I'm ill, it won't stop me from killing you."

The man looked at Souji with fear on his face - it was the last emotion he showed in his life.

The next moment, his body completely lost support, and he fell forward. After twitching a few times, he became completely silent.

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…Cough…Cough! Cough cough cough!”

After killing the enemy in a thrilling way, Souji once again used his sword to support his body, coughing violently while gasping for breath.

Compared to before, her coughing was much less intense—at least she was no longer vomiting blood.

As soon as she recovered, she raised her eyes impatiently, scanning the surroundings and observing.

Everywhere I looked, I saw fighting and death.

All friendly forces within sight are fighting bloody battles.

At this time and place, the battle between the Shinsengumi and the Choshu army had reached a fever pitch.

Everyone was fighting desperately and had no time to pay attention to other movements in the outside world.

Although Zongsi's cough just now was very loud and scary, the sound was immediately drowned out by the shouts and sounds of metal clashing, which were louder and louder.

In other words, apart from the enemy who had just been killed by Souji, no one noticed her abnormality.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

She looked down at her right palm stained with blood, her eyes dim and her expression complicated.

After a while, she clenched her right fist to hide the blood on her palm, then turned her head to look east - in front of her was Qing Deng, who was a match for a thousand men and did not care about life or death.

She looked at Qing Deng, looked at the comrades around her who were willing to sacrifice their lives, and murmured:

"Everyone is working hard... Now is not the time to rest..."

After she finished speaking, she silently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then clenched the Ding Guishen in her palm again and resolutely returned to the battlefield.

……

……

Kill one person and another one comes.

After one batch is cut down, another batch comes.

Faced with the enemy hordes that were rushing in like a tide, Qing Deng's talents were already in full operation.

Talents "Lonely +3", "Born for War +9", activated!

[Note: Born for War +9: The more intense and fierce the battle is, the better your physical and mental state will be.]

Since the "Second Great Return to China", the muscles of the limbs, which had become as stiff as stone due to busy government and military affairs and neglect of exercise, have gradually awakened from their slumber and become soft and elastic.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!!”

Just by hearing the sound, I knew it was the swordsman of the Shiman-ryu who was attacking.

Qing Deng felt the air beside him being cut by the blade, which made him feel creepy, with his hair standing on end and goose bumps appearing all over his skin.

The confrontation between the two sides took place in an instant.

The opponent didn't see Qing Deng's moves clearly at all, and the light green feather robe flying high in the air filled his entire field of vision.

By the time the light green haori floated back to its original position under the influence of gravity, he had already collapsed to the ground, with the carotid artery in his neck severed.

Another enemy pounced.

He used the momentum of the charge, clenched the katana in his hand, assumed a "straight stab" stance, and with all his might, slammed into Qing Deng with both the sword and himself.

At the same time, another person approached Qing Deng from behind and slashed at him with a sword.

Faced with the attack from these two people, Qing Deng's method of dealing with it was very simple.

He dealt with the person behind him first - with a clang, he swung his knife fiercely, knocking the opponent's weapon away.

The next moment, he stretched out his left hand like lightning, grabbed the opponent's collar and pulled it back. The opponent instantly lost his balance and fell flat on his face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent fell to the ground, Qing Deng lowered his body and pressed down hard on his neck with his left knee as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

The blood vessels in the neck were compressed, and blood flow was restricted. The man's face suddenly turned red, his eyes bulged, and his bulging blue veins looked like wriggling caterpillars. His arms were scratching in the air, as if searching for a life-saving straw.

After restraining this man with his knee, Qing Deng was able to concentrate on dealing with the remaining enemies.

It seemed as if an eon had passed as he described this series of actions in such detail.

In essence, everything happens in the blink of an eye.

It took less than half a second from the time he knocked the man's weapon away to the time he restrained him with his knee.

When he pulled the knife back to his hand, he happened to engage in a fight with the enemy in front of him.

At this time, new enemies came not only from the front, but also from the left, right, back... every direction.

There were even a few people in the distance who raised their flintlock rifles, pointed the muzzles at Qing Deng, and hurriedly pulled the trigger, completely disregarding whether their bullets would accidentally injure friendly forces.

Because Qingdeng's attack speed was too fast, he was somewhat disconnected from the large force in the rear, so there were a lot of enemies.

Looking at the enemies attacking from all directions, Qing Deng lowered his eyelids and tightly grasped the Bizen Osafune in his hand.

The talent "Lonely +3" is activated again!
He leaned forward slightly, with the blade facing down and the back of the blade facing up, and he swung the blade from the lower left to the upper right, using the back of the blade to block the enemy's attack from the front. Then he changed "swung" to "chopped", letting the blade chop down along the original path and directly killing the opponent.

Almost at the same moment, Qing Deng freed his left hand and grabbed the bayonet that was stabbing from the left - of course he couldn't just grab the sharp blade with his bare palm, so he held the muzzle of the gun.

With his extraordinary finger and grip strength, Qingdeng's palm was like an iron clamp that made the opponent's bayonet unable to move, neither stabbing nor retracting.

In a flash, the enemy's blade on the right arrived, only a few inches away from Qingdeng's crown.

The enemy's bayonet from the rear also came forward and was about to pierce his back.

The musketeers in the distance divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some were responsible for loading, some were responsible for passing the guns, and some were responsible for shooting.

Although most of the bullets missed the target, one bullet luckily flew straight into Qing Deng's chest.

There are dangers on all sides... If it were someone else, facing such a dangerous situation, I'm afraid they would be helpless.

But for Qing Deng, he had already experienced this level of crisis countless times!
His sharp eyes quickly scanned the area, identifying the positions of the enemies and thinking about strategies. His rich combat experience enabled him to immediately formulate a perfect response.

In an instant, his left hand, which was tightly grasping the muzzle of the enemy's gun on the left, suddenly pulled back - ordinary people could not resist Qing Deng's strange strength at all.

The man had his rifle taken away from him before he could even put up a proper struggle. The skin on his palms was torn and he screamed in pain.

After snatching the musket, Qing Deng did not keep it in his hand, but threw it to the right.

The sharp, gleaming bayonet hit the enemy on his right side directly! It stabbed straight into his chest! It went all the way in!
The man's eyes widened and blood spurted from his mouth. The knife, which was only a few inches away from Qingdeng's forehead, froze in mid-air and could no longer be swung.

While Qing Deng used his left hand to grab the gun, his right hand was not idle - his innate "Left-Right Fighting" was activated - the blade of the Bizen Nagashune crossed the air and swept diagonally towards the enemy behind him.

The opponent was very tall, not shorter than Qing Deng, so the attack range of both sides was roughly the same.

Generally speaking, Qing Deng, who attacked half a beat late, would not be able to touch the opponent at all - of course, this was only "generally speaking".

When swinging the knife, Qing Deng used his old trick again: he quietly changed his grip, and with the help of talents such as "Skillful Hands +5" and "Nine Oxen and Two Tigers +3", he used his index and middle fingers to tightly grip the bottom of the handle.

In this way, the range of the slash can be greatly widened!

This short distance of forced extension is just enough for the tip of the knife to cut the opponent's throat.

When he put away the knife, he had calculated in advance and at the same time chopped off the bullet flying towards his chest.

Accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, it was like a firecracker exploding, dazzling sparks burst out in the air, and fragments of the bullet flew everywhere.

Since Qing Deng can dodge bullets, then it is naturally no problem for him to chop up the oncoming bullets.

It's a pity that the toughness of the Bizen Osafune is still a little weak.

Although the bullet was successfully shattered, a conspicuous gap was left on the blade.

As soon as the Bizen Osafune returned to Qing Deng's hand, he swung it out again without stopping, chopping down the enemy on the left.

At this point, with superb fighting skills and unparalleled physical fitness, all the enemies in front, behind, left and right were killed! It took no more than 5 seconds!

Only the person who was pressed under Qing Deng was still alive.

Qing Deng pressed his neck tightly with his knee, making it impossible for him to move and even breathing difficult.

From the beginning, he completely lost the ability to resist due to cerebral ischemia and shortness of breath. His eyes rolled up, foam came out of the mouth, and he was almost unconscious.

Qing Deng did not forget the person under him - he exerted a little force, and with a "click" sound, he sent the other person away.

Although the surrounding enemies were dealt with, the musketeers in the distance were still alive.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Even if it was Qing Deng, he would not confront multiple musketeers head-on in an open space with no obstacles.

He took advantage of the situation and rolled to the right.

He flashed and went straight into a trench not far away.

This is a trench half a person deep, where several Choshu army gunners are hiding.

These people had been concentrating on dealing with the attacking Shinsengumi soldiers, but when they saw Nioh approaching me, their expressions changed and they subconsciously turned their guns towards Qing Deng, ready to pull the trigger.

Their reaction speed was quick, but Qing Deng's knife was even faster!

He lowered his upper body and stood up like a whirlwind to face the muzzle of the gun.

Step forward, accumulate strength, swing the sword, step forward again, accumulate strength again, swing the sword again - Qing Deng repeats this process over and over again with smooth movements.

I saw blood foam spurting out continuously, just like the splashes of water caused by waves hitting the rocks.

Blood spurted, flesh tore, bones broke, and the dead enemies fell to the left and right.

In the blink of an eye, Qingdeng cleared the trench.

The continuous fierce fighting without any respite caused the blade of Bizen Osafune to be covered with blood and fat, as if it was coated with a layer of film and no longer sharp.

Therefore, when Qing Deng climbed out of the trench, he held the blade of the Bizen Osafune tightly with the crook of his left arm and wiped the blade clean with the clothes in the crook of his arm.

Although he had only been away for a short while, the scene outside the trench was already very different.

Under the fierce attack led by Souji and Saito Hajime, the large force caught up with Qingdeng.

The Shinsengumi soldiers rushed forward, looking for enemy soldiers everywhere and defeating them.

The few musketeers who had just shot at Qingdeng were also dispersed by the fierce attack.

Looking up, the light green color is obviously more than other colors.

There is no doubt that the enemy's defense line is already crumbling!

So, Qing Deng immediately yelled:
"Follow me! Break through the enemy line!"

After roaring, he once again grasped the Bizen Osafune and chased the enemy towards the top of the mountain.

The Shinsengumi soldiers marched forward bravely, following Aotoko like wolves and tigers.

Under normal circumstances, Qing Deng might have enjoyed the feeling of close combat and charging into battle.

But at this moment... he had no intention of thinking about sadness or joy.

There was only one thought in his mind: defeat the enemy forces in front of him as soon as possible! Join up with Hijikata Toshizo stationed in Hachioji and rush to Edo!
Even without mentioning the mother and son who were very important to him, many of his relatives and friends - everyone in Shieikan, everyone in the Chiba family, and a group of good friends headed by Katsurintaro - all lived in Edo.

How can we sit idly by and watch them in danger?

In this way, Qing Deng did not care about fatigue or hardship, and forced his body to fight!

……

……

Nangong Mountain, the top of the mountain, the main camp of the special forces team——

Takasugi Shinsaku held the demon sword Muramasa tightly in one hand, ready to "fight at any time", and held a telescope in the other hand to observe the current situation on the battlefields.

The special forces strategist Omura Masujiro stood beside him, also observing the battle situation through a telescope.

The northern battlefield... the battlefield commanded by the Shinsengumi's left wing army, was so intense that it was worthy of the description of "blood and flesh flying everywhere".

Kondo Isami, Nagakura Shinpachi, Inoue Genzaburo, Serizawa Kamo and others are all brave and powerful men.

As soon as the battle started, they launched a desperate attack, forcing the Choshu army's defense line to retreat continuously.

However, although the Shinsengumi's left wing army was steadily advancing the front line, its advancement speed was still within the expectations of Takasugi Shinsaku and others.

On the other hand, the situation on the southern battlefield...that is, the battlefield that Qing Deng was personally in charge of, was completely beyond the expectations of Takasugi Shinsaku and others!
Through the tube of the telescope, they could clearly see Qing Deng's brave and heroic figure who could kill anyone who stood in his way!

No matter the advanced guns or the carefully arranged defenses, they could not stop him at all.

Under the personal leadership of Qing Deng, the offensive of the Shinsengumi's right wing army was truly unstoppable!
Suddenly, Takasugi Shinsaku slowly put down the telescope in his hand and murmured solemnly:

"...We still underestimated Nioh."

Omura Masujiro at the side continued in a gloomy voice:
"This kind of desperate man who doesn't care about his own life and is also very good at fighting often becomes a big variable on the battlefield."

Takasugi Shinsaku took back the topic:

"The situation on the battlefield in the south is not optimistic. If it continues like this, let alone 'holding out for three days', it's even a question whether we can hold out until tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Omura Masujiro chuckled:
"Mr. Takasugi, don't panic."

"Indeed, with King Ni leading the charge, the war situation in the south is worse than we expected."

"But don't forget that the south is the front where we put the most effort and defended the most tightly."

"According to Niou's current speed of advancement... he will soon hit a 'high wall'."

"With the 'high wall' we carefully built, we can hold them back for at least two days!"

After hearing this, Takasugi Shinsaku said expressionlessly:
"I hope so."

……

……

Nangong Mountain, southern battlefield——

Amidst flying bullets and flashing swords, the battle between the two armies had lasted for half a day.

The sun rose to its highest point in the sky, dispelling the last bit of fog in the mountains and forests.

The continuous fighting without interruption made Qing Deng almost unable to tell east from west, south from north.

He swung his sword mechanically, took his steps mechanically, and killed every enemy he saw. His mind became strangely blurred and he had no time to think about anything else.

At this moment...at this moment when he pushed aside a bush, his consciousness suddenly became clear.

Right in front of him, there stood a huge rock wall.

Countless muskets were mounted right on top of this rock wall.

At the moment when Qing Deng showed his face——

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Bullets are pouring down!
