Chapter 829 Qing Deng Gains Another Group of Fan Girls [5200]

Qing Deng was stunned by the long-lost new talent.

"Early birth of a child +5"... You can tell what this talent is just by looking at the name.

This talent is not completely useless, but it is not very useful either.

After all, Qingdeng's fertility is not bad.

Not long after getting married, Sanako and Mai both got pregnant.

Therefore, this talent can only be regarded as icing on the cake for Qing Deng.

However, with this talent, perhaps it would be possible to effectively offset Souji's "difficulty getting pregnant" constitution.

At this moment, for some reason, Qing Deng suddenly thought of Tenshoin Atsuhime.

After he had a sparring match with Tianzhangyuan, the talent he copied from him was "many children and good fortune".

The ability is "to make it easier to give birth to healthy and excellent children."

Because this talent is only suitable for females, it cannot be effective on Qing Deng.

Qing Deng couldn't help but think: Now that he has "Early Childbirth +5", if he combines with Tianzhangyuan, who has "Many Children and Blessings", wouldn't it be...

Before this thought could continue, Qing Deng couldn't help but laugh.

Combining with the "Empress Dowager of the Time"... unless the shogunate collapsed, this kind of thing would never happen.

Qing Deng suppressed his joy of "having a new talent" and shook his head gently to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then he turned to look at Yoshida Minoru who had already landed.

Just now, he attacked from the lower part, making a reverse cassock slash. With the powerful force of the sword, he broke the opponent's sword abruptly. Then, with the remaining force of the sword, he hit the opponent's waist and abdomen, and chopped him up and sent him flying 10 meters away.

Although the outcome was already decided, perhaps because of his tenacious life force or strong will, Yoshida Toshima did not die immediately.

He was seen supporting himself on the ground with his broken knife, groaning vaguely, and struggling to sit up.

His eyes were bloodshot, frighteningly red, and his face was filled with unwillingness and resentment. He stared at Qingdeng fiercely, as if he wanted to shoot through Qingdeng's body with his gaze.

"Damn... running dog...!"

Qingdeng said calmly:
"Isn't your vocabulary too limited? I'm tired of hearing 'running dog' all the time. Can't you use something more novel?"

Yoshida Minoru coughed a few times and vomited a large amount of blood like a fountain.

There was a "death air" on his cheeks and his pupils had begun to dilate.

He used his last bit of strength to speak incoherently:
"You guys...just...wait...!"

"Do you think... that we are... your only enemies...?"

"The Imperial Court... Satsuma... Tosa... Hizen... Which one of them is not... eyeing us covetously...?"

"You are just... walking on thin ice..."

"I only regret that... I died here..."

"Otherwise... I must... see with my own eyes... how long this... 'balance' of yours can last..."

"Even if you kill us, you can't kill all the heroes in the world!"

Facing Yoshida Minoru's ridicule, Qing Deng responded calmly:
"Then come on, just come on."

"The Imperial Court, Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa, Hizen, Saibari... no matter which faction you are, just come at me!"

"I will protect everything that needs to be protected."

"Just open your eyes and watch in the underworld - see how I, 'Ren Wang', break through the formation, kill the enemies, exterminate the evil and eliminate the rebellion!"

I don't know if the other party heard what he said.

Before Qing Deng could finish his words, he suddenly dropped his knife, knelt on the ground, gradually lowered his head, and finally fell forward. A large pool of blood immediately spread out around him.

Although Yoshida Minoru was very long-winded just now, we have to admit that what he said was all true.

The imperial court, Satsuma, Tosa... every single one of them had evil intentions.

Many officials in the court still harbored the ambition to "restore the prestige of the court."

Not to mention Samo, who is just a fence-sitter with a flexible bottom line.

Therefore, what Yoshida Toshima just said is correct.

The shogunate is now only able to maintain a fragile "balance" by relying on its past power and Qing Deng's support in recent years.

If something unexpected happens in the future, this "balance" will be broken instantly.

By then, the enemies that the shogunate and Qing Deng will face will not only be Choshu...

Of course, these things were within Qing Deng's expectations.

Otherwise, he would not have pushed forward the construction of Qinjinfan with all his strength in order to prevent the worst situation from happening.

Just as Qing Deng said just now - he will protect everything that should be protected!
Qing Deng glanced at Yoshida Minoru's body, then he was too lazy to look at him again. He retracted his gaze, raised his head and shouted:
"Yoshida Minoru has been defeated by me!"

With the blessing of his talent "Piercing Clouds and Splitting Rocks +2", his shout quickly spread.

Suddenly, the scene fell into a brief silence...

Under the joint attack of Qing Deng and Tojo Shintaro, the ground was covered with corpses.

There were only about fifty people left who were able to stand safely.

Our own general died...those who were weak-willed and lacked fighting spirit finally couldn't fight on.

They looked at each other, and then looked at each other... I don't know who started it, and then they turned around and ran away.

Then, like a contagious plague, more and more people turned and fled.

These guys are all insignificant little characters, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Qing Deng did not chase after them - and had no trouble chasing after them.

There are still some diehard elements who have not fled and are still holding their ground.

Roughly speaking, there are about a dozen of these diehards.

They were not intimidated by the large number of their companions leaving, and they still held their steel knives tightly and glared at Qing Deng.

Since they have made up their minds to die, there is no need to say more.

Qing Deng silently put the knife in place and said softly:

"bring it on."

As soon as the words fell, the battle began.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The people on the opposite side roared in unison, stepped forward and pounced.

From a certain perspective, the most terrifying opponent is the one who is determined to die and has no intention of living.

But for Qing Deng, dealing with these guys who have neither extraordinary skills nor physical strength, but only a lot of fighting spirit, is pure waste of time.

But this is not the case for Tojo Shintaro.

"Age" and "body shape" are ultimately two insurmountable shackles.

Tojo Shintaro raised his spear and fought hard against the enemy.

However, the exhaustion of physical strength still made his hands and feet become much slower.

He swung his spear to the left, forcing back the enemy on the left, and then swept it to the right, knocking away the enemy on the right.

Just when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet come out -

"Drink ah ah ah ah!"

A certain patriot got a burning cart from somewhere.

He pushed the cart straight towards Tojo Shintaro at an extremely fast speed.

If it were under normal circumstances, it would be easy for Tojo Shintaro to dodge this trick.

But now that one's physical strength has reached its limit and one's reaction has begun to slow down, the situation is very different.

Although he dodged to the left at the first moment, he was still a little slow.

He avoided the head-on impact of the cart, but the flames from the cart still burned his clothes.

Soon, the flames licked Tojo Shintaro's clothes and spread rapidly.

At this time, Qing Deng had neatly dealt with the enemies on his side.

After discovering the situation in Dongcheng, he immediately rushed over and joined the battle.

He found the guy who pushed the "train" and raised his hand. With a "swoosh" sound, he removed the guy's head with just one blow.

While fighting, Qing Deng did not forget to ask:
"Mr. Dongcheng, are you okay?"

After his clothes were stuck to the flames, Tojo Shintaro tore off his clothes and threw them away before the flames burned his skin.

"I'm fine... I just got a few blisters."

After hearing this, Qing Deng calmed down and focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

——1、2、3、4、5……

He counted the number of remaining enemies.

There are only 5 enemies left standing on the field.

They are indeed death warriors.

Even though their side had no chance of winning, these five people did not retreat.

They reassembled into an arc formation that half-surrounded Qing Deng, and then attacked together. Qing Deng calmly lowered his body, gathering strength at his waist—stepping forward, flexing and stretching his upper body—and fiercely attacked the enemy on the far right.

He didn't even need to look closely at the effect of the strike, because the feeling of "the knife entering the flesh" was very solid.

Although the enemies in front and on the left swung their swords at him, Qing Deng had a very accurate sense of distance. His previous attack included "moving position" and "dodging", making their attacks all in vain.

The next moment, he seized the opportunity when someone changed his posture and moved forward to strike with a knife.

A moment later, his Vairocana collided with the other person's crown.

Qing Deng slightly misstepped his steps and pounced on the last two enemies.

He dodged the two men's knives, moved quickly from left to right, and came behind them - at this time, he had already shaken the knife vigorously to shake off the blood stains remaining on the blade.

The two men seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, standing still in place, and then fell to the left and right like rotten wood.

At this point, the scene finally quieted down.

The fighting is over, the chaos is over.

Some of the patriots died, some escaped.

The only sound left was the roar of burning flames.

Qing Deng glanced around, then lay on his back and let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief as if a huge stone had fallen from his body.

——It’s finally over…

He had no idea what the current situation was at Ikeda House.

He was completely done with this.

The pile of dangerous goods in the warehouse has been completely confiscated.

All the patriots were killed or wounded, and Yoshida Toshima himself was killed.

Yoshida Toshima was to the Sonnōjo faction what Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi were to the Shinsengumi—an unbearable loss.

For the Zunyang faction, this was undoubtedly a historic defeat!

On the other hand, this is another glorious victory for the pro-shogunate forces since the "August 18th Coup".

At this time, Qing Deng couldn't help but think of a question: What will the Zun Rang faction do next?
Under the manipulation of radical figures such as Kusaka Genzui, the Sonjo faction has now become an unreasonable extremist organization that cannot be measured by common sense.

What is certain is that after suffering such a huge loss, it is impossible for the Zunyang faction to have no reaction at all!
In a rage, he mobilized all the troops in Choshu and launched an eastern expedition to challenge the shogunate... Such a possibility is not impossible!
The 30 square kilometers of territory granted to Qing Deng was not only one of the richest lands under the shogunate, but also the western frontier of the shogunate.

If Choshu really attacked, the Qinjin clan would be the first to bear the brunt.

After more than half a year, Zhan Yun reunited...

——After one wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises...

Just as Qing Deng was thinking about this, he suddenly heard light footsteps.

Miss Sumire led a group of female ninjas including Tao and Mei and ran towards them.

Miss Jin only glanced at Qing Deng and then looked away - because she knew from just one glance that Qing Deng was not injured at all, except for his slightly disordered breathing, and even his clothes were not messy.

She turned her gaze to Tojo Shintaro:
"Shintaro, are you okay?"

Tojo Shintaro gave a wry smile:
"I'm fine... Apart from a few blisters from the burns and feeling nauseous from exhaustion, I'm fine."

Seeing that Tojo Shintaro was fine, Miss Sumire looked relieved.

Qingdeng asked:

"Ajin, have all the people evacuated?"

Miss Jin nodded slightly:
"Well, we have almost all evacuated. Fortunately, there was no major chaos."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, then changed her tone to one of deep emotion:
"The civilians haven't evacuated yet, but you guys killed all the enemies first... Isn't your speed of killing the enemies too fast?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tojo Shintaro immediately interrupted:
"It has nothing to do with me. I just helped. These corpses all over the ground are basically the work of An Yi."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became subtle.

A Tao, A Mei...these female ninjas, who had always shown vigilance and hostility after meeting Qing Deng, now cast complicated glances at Qing Deng.

No matter what kind of feelings they have towards Qing Deng, they have to admit: Without Qing Deng's help tonight, even if they can win, it will never be so smooth!
From single-handedly attacking the warehouse, to beating Yoshida Toshima and others like sandbags just now... Qing Deng perfectly demonstrated the dominant strength of "Nioh"!
Thanks to his overwhelming force, this series of operations tonight went incredibly smoothly.

Not only did they crush the Sonnō Faction's conspiracy, but no one on their side died! Only Tojo Shintaro was scalded and had a few blood blisters!
As such, Miss Sumire and the female kunoichi couldn't help but feel as if they were "in a dream".

Maybe Ah Mei and the others themselves didn't realize it - when they looked at Qing Deng again, the vigilance and hostility in their eyes had been reduced by more than half.

In the eyes of some individuals, there were even hints of admiration, longing and other emotions.

Qing Deng did not notice the changes in the female kunoichi's eyes. He asked Jin half-jokingly:

"Ajin, I thought you guys wouldn't come."

Ms. Sumire sighed silently:
"Honestly, I didn't want to come."

"But...I have to admit that your inference makes sense."

"So, I left Mr. Ebina and some other people behind and asked them to continue to torture those guys."

"The rest of you will follow me to help you."

After hearing this, Qing Deng smiled slightly:
"Thank you for coming. Thanks to your assistance, we were able to evacuate the people quickly and minimize the losses. It was really a great help."

Miss Jin smiled, revealing a smile that was so stunning that it could captivate all the fishes and geese alike - as long as she didn't speak, she would be an impeccable top beauty.

"You're welcome. We are allies, aren't we? As allies, we should help each other."

Qing Deng continued in a half-joking tone:
"It's a pity that our alliance only lasts until tonight."

Miss Jin smiled again:
"Well... that's hard to say."

At this time, Qing Deng suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from far away behind him.

He turned his head to see—it was the town firefighters.

Machi-hōsho, or firefighters in the Edo period.

Miss Jin saw this and said softly:
"The town firefighters are here...it's almost time for us to leave."

As members of the Great Salt Party, Miss Sumire and her friends naturally tried their best to avoid having anything to do with the officials of the shogunate.

Qingdeng nodded:

"Then let's go our separate ways for now."

"I am very concerned about the situation at Ikedaya, so I am going to Ikedaya now."

Miss Jin nodded slightly:
"Goodbye, An Yi."

"I believe it won't be long before we meet again - and by then, I hope we will still be friends."

After that, she led Tojo Shintaro and the female kunoichi and headed east.

Just as the two sides were about to part ways... Qing Deng suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He hadn't been paying close attention to Tojo Shintaro just now.

After taking off his burning upper body clothes, Tojo Shintaro remained shirtless, revealing his round belly like Zhu Bajie.

It was not until now that he suddenly discovered that there was a large burn mark on the right side of Tojo Shintaro's abdomen...!
The scar is very old and it is obvious that it is an old injury.

There was a burn on the right side of his abdomen, he was good at using a spear, and he was good at strength...all kinds of information swirled and merged in Qing Deng's mind.

Past memories revived in his mind.

He suddenly recalled the old man he had met in Osaka:
(Have you ever seen a warrior with a lance and a hideous burn mark on the right side of his abdomen?)
When Qing Deng couldn't help but stop in shock, Miss Jin, Tojo Shintaro and others had already jumped into the dark alley and disappeared...

……

……

Kyoto, Sanjo Bridge (west of Kamogawa River), Ikedaya——

clang! clang! clang! clang! clang! clang!
The sound of steel blades colliding one after another was shocking and reached the sky.

The battle between Souji and others and Prajna has reached a fever pitch!
Although Prajna made the "Three New Heroes" suffer a lot, he himself was not much at ease.

His hair and clothes were disheveled, and his breathing became rapid.

Up to now, the two sides are still tied and there is no clear winner.

Prajna's physical fitness is truly terrifying.

Although his aura was disordered, it was far from being unable to fight.

Judging from his condition, he seems to be in a state of "I can fight another three hundred rounds".

On the other hand, the “Newly Selected Three Heroes”…their condition is not good.

It's fine if Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi fall, but Souji...

Her cheeks turned pale, her red lips slightly parted, she greedily swallowed the air, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, like a bellows.

Physical strength is Souji's weak point, and she is not good at attrition warfare.

Prajna is still able to handle the situation with ease, but Souji, who is the main fighting force of the "New Three Heroes", has run out of strength... This doesn't seem to be good news no matter how you look at it!

Hijikata Toshizo, Serizawa Kamo and others who were watching the battle silently clenched their swords.

At this moment, the "Three New Heroes" were standing in a row, staring at Prajna opposite them, and thinking of new tactics.

Souji wiped the sweat from his chin, swallowed, and looked thoughtful.

After a while, she said quietly:
"…Shinpachi, Saito, help me find a gap."

As she spoke, she spread her legs, lowered her waist, raised the tip of the knife, and adopted the Blue Eyes Form.
