I formed the strongest swordsman group

[Born to fight +9: The more intense and intense the battle, the better the physical and mental condition will be]

Loneliness +3, Concentration, Born for Fighting +9...the many talents activated together pushed Qingdeng's physical and mental state to the limit!

The "dong dong" sound of the heart is like a war drum!

Adrenaline is secreted continuously and increases rapidly!

Each blood vessel in the body directly enters the "full power" state.

Qingdeng even felt that he could vaguely hear the sound of blood flowing at high speed in his body!

Although Qingdeng had fought dozens of enemy soldiers, he did not feel tired. Instead, he felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter! My limbs are getting lighter and lighter, and the wind is blowing under my feet!

If he is injured, Qingden can further stimulate his other "buff talent": Berserker +4.

[Berserker +4: The tolerance to pain and blood loss is greatly improved. The more pain you feel, the more you can explode the power hidden in your body. However, when the damage suffered exceeds the physiological limit of the body, this effect is invalid]

Unfortunately, so far in the battle, no one has been able to successfully injure Qingdeng.

After entering Ninomaru, the surrounding terrain became obviously more complicated.

In order to cause as much trouble to the attackers as possible, the designers of Gaotori Castle put all their talents into planning the city.

The closer it is to the core of the city (Honmaru), the easier it is to defend and harder to attack.

There are tall and magnificent buildings everywhere.

There are winding corridors everywhere.

There is a saying that "it is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow."

When passing a corner, one or even multiple attackers may be caught in an inconspicuous shadow.

When passing a certain palace, a cold arrow may be shot from a nearby bunker.

All in all, when fighting in a place like this, no matter how powerful a person is, he must be extra cautious.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, the boat will capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, even Qingdeng had to hold his breath and concentrate and go all out.

Onward, forward, and forward.

Swing the knife, swing the knife, swing the knife again!

The thrilling and tense battle situation not only left Qingden no chance to breathe, but also forced him to tighten the strings in his mind at all times.

At this moment, he was terribly focused! There are no more unnecessary distractions in my mind.

It is no longer appropriate to use vulgar words such as "concentrate" and "single-minded" to describe it.

He only has the road ahead and the enemy in his eyes!

The presence of the two swords in his hands became blurred, as if they had become one with his palms!

Finally, Ninomaru's Otemon broke into his field of vision!

The so-called "Otemon" means main gate in Japanese.

As long as we break through this place, we can attack the core of Ninomaru - Ninomaru Palace in one go, and then we can directly take the main Maru of Takatori Castle!

A single move can affect the whole body... In such an important position, naturally heavy troops have been deployed.

Looking around, there were dozens of nervous and ready figures standing outside the Otemon door.

In addition, there are more than a dozen archers holding long bows waiting on the gate tower.

The person responsible for guarding this gate is another confidant of Yoshimura Torataro - Fujimoto Teishi.

Seeing Qing Deng coming, he immediately roared at the top of his lungs:

"Fire the arrow! Fire!"

As soon as this order was issued, the archers on the gate tower drew their bows and drew their arrows——

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All of a sudden! Dozens of arrows pierced the atmosphere, resembling flying swallows, and shot towards Qingdeng!

It's just that...the level of these shooters is really not that good.

Archery is a martial art with high technical content.

Without training, ordinary people would not be able to use bows and arrows at all.

In the Edo period, only senior samurai could afford to learn bow and arrow.

It is no exaggeration to say that even among the powerful Shinsengumi, the only ones who can be called "proficient in archery" are Ayoto and Sanako.

More than half of the arrows fired at Qingdeng were either powerful or accurate.

Even if Qingden didn't dodge, only three or two arrows could hit him.

If the density of this arrow rain increased tenfold, it might pose some threat to Qingdeng.

With the current level of arrow rain... Qingdeng didn't even have to dodge!

He lowered his eyelids and stared at the arrows that were gradually approaching in mid-air.

Activate the talents "Eagle Eye +5" and "Speed ​​+6"!

[Eagle Eye +5: Dynamic vision is better than ordinary people]

[Super speed + 6: reflexes are better than ordinary people]

In Qingdeng's eyes, these arrows were like "playing in slow motion". The flight trajectory and the disturbed airflow at the tail of the arrow were all clearly visible.

The next moment, Qingdeng swung the two swords in his palms - flashed once, flashed again, and flashed three times - just like swatting mosquitoes, all the arrows that had the chance to hit him were cut into two by him and fell limply. Dropped to the ground.

He just waved his sword to block the arrows while continuing to approach Otemon.

The silver-white sword light was like a "protective layer", tightly protecting Qingdeng.

Even if the archers kept drawing their bows, they could not hurt Qingden at all.

"Damn! Is he still a human? Even a bow and arrow can't hurt him!"

Fujimoto Teishi, who was under the gatehouse, gritted his teeth, cursed and raised the sword in his hand:

"Be careful! Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Click, click, click... Accompanied by a burst of clanging sounds, long spears were raised one after another, pointing at Qingdeng who was getting closer and closer.

The gunners were in front, the swordsmen were in the back - a very classic battle formation.

However... Qing Deng ignored Fujimoto Teiseki and others who were already close in front of him.

In a flash, he kicked the ground and jumped up! His body flew high into the sky, and then landed squarely on the wall next to the Ote Gate.

Then, he kicked his legs again, using the wall as a pedal, and his body jumped up like a spring, drawing a standard parabola in the air... Landing point: the gatehouse!

While flying, Qing Deng put the Ding Guishen in his right hand into his mouth, bit it hard, and lifted his right hand.

Talent "Hippopotamus Jaw", activated!

[Hippopotamus Jaw: Bite force is better than ordinary people. ]

With a bang, Qing Deng lay on the outer wall of a shooting hole in the tower. With the blessing of the talent "Skillful Hands +5", the five fingers of his right hand tightly grasped the gap between the stone bricks above the shooting hole, like a spider.

Behind the shooting hole, there was an archer who was about to draw his bow.

Looking at Qing Deng who suddenly appeared in front of him, this person suddenly widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

Before he could react, Qing Deng kicked him directly, and his heel hit the other person's philtrum.

Broken teeth flew out, blood beads fell... Qing Deng took advantage of the momentum of the flying kick and rushed into the gate building.

Although the shooting hole was very narrow, with the blessing of the talent "Snake Body +1", if he squeezed a little, it was still enough to accommodate Qing Deng in and out.

[Snake Body +1: Body flexibility is better than ordinary people]

There were a total of 12 archers inside the tower... Correction, one had been killed by Qing Deng, leaving only 11 archers.

Facing Qing Deng who broke in directly with such a simple and crude method, the archers were stunned.

One by one, their eyes were wide open, their mouths slightly open, and they were really "dumbfounded".

Qing Deng never let go of such a fleeting and precious opportunity.

Puff!

Qing Deng's left elbow suddenly bounced like a broken string, chopping off the head of the nearby enemy.

At the same time, Qing Deng raised his right hand and held the Ding Gui Shen in his mouth again.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three more sounds of flesh being cut.

Three more people fell!

Qing Deng swung the two swords in his palm alternately, splashing out handfuls of blood waves!

Until this time, the archers who were still alive finally recovered from the shock, and they all threw away their longbows, drew their sabers, and switched to close combat.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Suddenly, a full-strength shout sounded in front of Qing Deng's right.

The blade with the upper momentum chopped straight at Qing Deng's head.

Qing Deng didn't even look at the opponent, lowered the Ding Gui Shen in his right hand, pointed the knife downward, then tilted his body, stepped forward, and swung the knife upward.

Passed by.

Qing Deng didn't even need to see if he had hit the target - because he felt the soft side of a human body in his palm.

The man with half of his waist cut off staggered forward and fell directly to the ground.

—— 2 on the left... 1 on the right...

Qing Deng swept his eyes, quickly calculated the number and position of the remaining enemies, and then took action quickly.

He first took a step to the right and slashed at the enemy on the right - the Ding Gui Shen in his right hand drew a reverse cassock slash trajectory - first eliminated the threat on the right.

Of course, the two enemies on his left would naturally not watch Qing Deng do whatever he wanted.

One of them thrust the knife straight, and the other swung the blade diagonally.

Two completely different attacks attacking different parts... very tricky.

However, Qing Deng raised the Vairocana in his left hand calmly - attack on the right, defend on the left!

The purple blade cut a sharp arc in the air, knocking down the two attacks on the left one after another.

The enemy on the right has been killed... The next thing will be easy.

Qing Deng stepped firmly on his feet, pulled Ding Gui Shen back to his hand, and then swept to the left with Vairocana!

Puff! Puff!

Accompanied by the flying blood foam, Qing Deng continued to attack forward!

At this moment, there were two enemies with knives in front, and two more people attacked from the side next to them - they were the last four people left on the gatehouse.

They formed a solid human wall, and four katana fell together, trying to stop Qing Deng.

The gatehouse was very narrow, and there was no other option except to face the enemy head-on!

Seeing this, Qing Deng snorted coldly, turned his right wrist, and while switching Ding Gui Shen to a straight grip, the two knives in his palms hit each other with a "clang" sound, forming an "X" shape, and blocked up, blocking all the five katana that attacked!

Kakakakakaka...

1VS4... One person wrestled with four people.

Judging from the number alone, it was clear which side had the upper hand.

However, in battle, quality always trumps quantity!

Talents "Elephant Core +9", "Tiger Arm +4", "Nine Oxen and Two Tigers +3", activated!

Qing Deng gritted his teeth, secretly exerted a fierce force, and tightened every muscle in his body!

Legs to help waist, waist to help arms, arms to help sword.

He pushed against the four men in front of him and moved forward slowly!

The four men showed horrified expressions, and tried to push back with all their might.

However, although they tried their best, it didn't work!

They felt that there was a constant and increasingly powerful force pressing towards them!

Not only did they fail to stop the retreat, but they were pushed further and further away, and pushed further and further back!

Qingdeng saw the right opportunity, shouted low, pushed up the two knives in his palms, and opened the four knives on the opposite side in one go.

The blade was opened...the middle doors of these four people were directly exposed in front of Qingdeng!

In the next breath, Qingdeng lowered his body weight and threw himself into the middle of the four people like a whirlwind.

Just like surging sea water hitting a hard rock, blood foam kept spurting out.

Flesh and blood burst open, limbs were broken, and bones were exposed.

The four people fell to the left and right one by one.

At this point, there are no more enemies on the gate tower!

At first glance, Qingdeng seemed to have spent a lot of time in order to eliminate the threat of "long-range attacks" here.

But in fact, only about ten seconds have passed since Qingdeng broke into the gate building.

However, it's not time to relax yet.

The battle is not over yet!

There are also enemies below the gate tower that need to be dealt with urgently.

Qingden reached out to fish on the ground, picked up a bow and a pot of arrows, then ran to the nearby shooting port and looked down.

Ayoto's combat action of "leap directly into the gate tower and deal with the archers first" completely exceeded the expectations of Tetsushi Fujimoto and others.

As a last resort, they could only disband their battle formation and hurried to the gate tower.

As a result, because Qingto's attack was too fast, the gate tower had been cleared before Fujimoto Teishi and others arrived, so they are now gathering on the stairs leading to the gate tower.

Looking from Aonto's perspective... Fujimoto Teishi and others are stuck in a position where they can't go up or down, without any shelter!

For Qingdeng, such a location couldn't be better!

He loaded the bow with skillful techniques, pulled out the bowstring, and pointed the sharp arrow directly at Fujimoto Teishi and others who were still going upstairs below the gate.

At this time, Tetsushi Fujimoto noticed the movement here.

Looking at the arrows pointing at them and the bow that had been stretched into a full moon, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme.

"Be careful! Hide! Hide..."

Chi!

Before he could finish his words, the sudden sound of wind interrupted him.

The flying arrow hit Fujimoto Tieshi's wide-open mouth, the tail of the arrow was exposed outside the mouth, and the arrowhead was exposed at the back of his neck.

The tragic death of Tetsushi Fujimoto was just the beginning.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The muffled sound of arrows entering flesh comes one after another!

Qingden didn't even aim, he just mechanically repeated the whole process of "drawing arrows", "releasing arrows", "drawing bow", "aiming" and "releasing arrows", with an astonishing rate of fire of one shot per second. !

The last time he used a bow had to go back to the Iga offensive and defensive battle a few months ago.

Recently, due to being too busy, Qingdeng has not practiced bowing very much, and his technique is a bit rusty.

However, no matter how unfamiliar his skills were, it was still more than enough to achieve "one kill with one arrow" at this distance.

Every arrow he shoots will take a life! No wasted hair!

Such a terrifying efficiency in killing enemies is even more terrifying than slashing with a shining blade!

Although the enemy group that had recovered had dispersed and each was looking for cover, their slow speed was no different from standing still in Qingden's eyes.

Within a moment, the enemy group below the gate tower was shot to pieces by Qingdeng, leaving corpses on the ground.

Although there were still some hidden fish that slipped through the net, Qingden was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore.

"This inferior bow is really difficult to use..."

With that said, he threw away the bow in his hand, turned back, jumped off the gate tower, crossed the Otemon gate, and ran towards Ninomaru's palace.

Takatorijo Ninomaru, breakthrough!

…

…

Takatori Castle, Kuromon (main city gate in the north)

"Damn it...Damn it...what's the fighting situation in the city?"

"Who knows!"

"Don't worry so much! We just stick to our posts!"

Qingdeng's sudden invasion and his overwhelming attack plunged Gaotori City into chaos.

The city's defense network was turned into a mess.

In order to resist Qingdeng, except for strategic locations like Black Gate that must not be tampered with, guards in other places were mobilized to support.

Although the guards of the Black Gate were ordered to "stand by and watch the city gate tightly," the confusing battle situation in the city made them worried and their morale was seriously affected.

They thought that relying on the strong city of Takatori Castle would bring some trouble to the Shinsengumi.

Unexpectedly...that Tachibana Qingden actually attacked in like this, and the attack process was extremely smooth, as if walking on flat ground!

The natural dangers of Gaotori City can't stop him at all!

The defense system that I thought would make the Shinsengumi feel uncomfortable was penetrated and smashed by Tachibana Aoden alone... Is it necessary to resist when fighting such a monster?

Thinking of this, the guards at the Black Gate became increasingly depressed.

On the gate tower of the Black Gate, a strong man with an unshaven beard said earnestly to his companions behind him:

"Don't be afraid! Kawakami Hikosai is here in this pill!"

"That Kawagami Hikosai is also an incredible monster!"

"You may not believe it, but I have personally seen Kawagami Hikosai's sword skills!"

"He's very fast with his sword!"

"First there is the slash, then there is the sound of the sword!"

"He has already killed the enemy, but others just heard the sound of his sword being drawn!"

"In short, as long as Kawakami Hikosai is here and with the cooperation of others, we will definitely be able to kill Tachibana Aoden!"

"By the way, did you listen to me? Why didn't you say anything for so long?"

As he spoke, he turned his head back with an unhappy look on his face. He saw that the companion who was chatting with him just now had collapsed to the ground, without a sound, and his neck was twisted unnaturally.

"Hey, you..."

The horrified man had just uttered a syllable when he suddenly smelled a very pleasant smell.

The fragrant wind wafted into his nose. Two small hands stretched out from behind his head, one covering the other's mouth, and the other pressing the back of his neck.

These two small hands twisted hard like twisting a bottle cap. The sturdy man's vision suddenly reversed 180 degrees, and he could suddenly see the scene behind him.

A beautiful, handsome girl in a black ninja costume... The above is the last scene the sturdy man saw in his life.

PS: You may wonder: How did Kinoshita Mai push open the city gate by herself?

It's actually very simple. Don't use Chinese city gates to replace Japanese city gates.

The city gates of most Japanese cities are the type that can be opened by pushing the door handle behind the door. In simple terms, it can be understood as a large courtyard gate.
