I formed the strongest swordsman group

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene changed suddenly.

"Oh?"

Kinoshita Rin made a surprised sound while looking at Qing Deng with interest.

Kiryu boss laughed dumbly, with a helpless look in his eyes.

His eyes seemed to say: Tachibana-kun, you are worthy of it!

Kinoshita Mai was shocked.

She squinted her eyes nervously, carefully observing the changes in Kinoshita Rin's expression, fearing that Qing Deng's words just now would make grandma unhappy.

As for the 8 people... that is, the group of gourd house heroes led by "Immortal Blood Spear" Katakura Takanobu, their reactions were much more complicated and intense.

The youngest "Gourd Four Ghosts" all looked unhappy, staring at Qing Deng fiercely, as if they couldn't wait to go into battle and fight Qing Deng for 300 rounds.

Although "Thunder Slasher" Shimada Kanichi, "Double-Powered Man" Asai Moriyasu, and "Young Dragon" Makimura Taichi also looked gloomy, the looks they cast towards Qing Deng at this time were mainly "curious" and "vigorous fighting spirit".

The oldest Katakura Takanobu was quite calm, still expressionless, without even a frown, and was not shaken by Qing Deng's words at all.

Kinoshita Lin originally planned to adopt the "original establishment" method, that is, let Katakura Takanobu and others go on stage one by one to compete with Qing Deng one by one.

Unexpectedly, Qing Deng opened his mouth and said, "You all come together!"

Such a scene, such words, anyone who sees it will have to sigh sincerely: Arrogance! It's really too arrogant!

Kinoshita Lin asked half-jokingly:

"Tachibana Aki, you are very confident in your skills."

Qing Deng said lightly without sadness or joy:

"I'm just stating a fact."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene changed subtly again.

Even the youngest and most energetic "Four Gourd Ghosts" were shocked by Qing Deng's pretentiousness... ah, no, they were also shocked by Qing Deng's strong attitude!

Qing Deng has never been the kind of person who likes to show off.

The reason why he is so high-profile at this time is naturally for his specific reasons.

First of all, his current identity is the lord of Qinjin Domain and the general general of Shinsengumi.

Therefore, every move and every action of his represents the Qinjin Domain and Shinsengumi behind him.

Since others have invited him to fight, he naturally cannot weaken his momentum and let people look down on him.

Secondly, Kinoshita Lin just made it very clear - she really wants to see with her own eyes how capable the closed disciple of Kiryu boss is.

In other words, he now not only represents the Qinjin Domain and Shinsengumi, but also represents the face of Kiryu boss!

Since accepting Qing Deng as his apprentice, Kiryu boss has always been the image of a "perfect teacher".

Teaching unique skills first, and giving away the family heirloom sword later.

It is no exaggeration to say that he really implemented the term "giving everything he has" to the extreme! He completely treated Qing Deng as his own grandson!

Qing Deng has always been grateful to Boss Kiryu, who has given so much but never sought returns.

He has always wanted to repay Boss Kiryu's kindness, but he has been struggling to find a suitable opportunity.

And now, the time for him to repay has come!

He has decided to take this opportunity to work hard and show his face for the old man!

In addition, apart from the identity of "Boss Kiryu's apprentice", he is also Kinoshita Mai's "future husband"!

Kinoshita Mai is here!

Her grandmother is here too!

This "Osaka trip", Qing Deng is determined to "achieve success in one battle".

Not only to promote the union of Qinjin Domain and Huluya, but also to promote his marriage with Kinoshita Mai

Therefore, he does not want to lose his prestige in front of Kinoshita Mai's family!

In summary, what reason does Qing Deng have not to go all out? What's the reason not to show off?

Moreover, showing strong and unprovoked absolute strength will be a great benefit for the next talks.

There is a saying that "strength is the reason for being king."

Let Kinoshita Lin and the heroes of Huluwu take a good look at how powerful "Niwang" is!

In this way, it will put invisible pressure on them! Add more voice to the next negotiations!

Kinoshita Lin stared at Qing Deng, thought for a while, and then waved his hand:

"Okay, in this case, then do as you wish!"

...

...

Qing Deng picked a bamboo sword at random and stood upright in the center of the dojo.

Katakura Takanobu and others took their weapons, stepped onto the field in a black crowd, and surrounded Qing Deng.

They occupied the eight directions around Qing Deng respectively - east, west, south, north, northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest - and surrounded Qing Deng tightly without leaving any gaps.

Boss Kiryu moved to the side of Kinoshita Lin and Kinoshita Mai, and watched the competition with them in the "VIP seats".

I have to say that the eyes and momentum of these 8 people are very good.

The heroes of the Gourd House... especially the "Gourd Four Ghosts", stared at Qing Deng fiercely, as if they wanted to burn holes in Qing Deng with their burning and sharp eyes.

Being in the middle of them and bearing their stares is indeed quite stressful.

However... playing the trick of "using momentum to suppress others" in front of Qing Deng is a bit of a show of hands.

Qing Deng curled his lips and slowly raised the bamboo sword in his hand.

At the same time as he raised the sword, waves of amazing energy like huge waves erupted from his body.

The release of "momentum"!

The invisible "force" spread quickly, covering every corner of the dojo in the blink of an eye!

The birdsong outside the dojo suddenly disappeared.

Kinoshita Rin's face changed color, and a solemn expression appeared on her cheeks.

Katakura Takanobu's face also changed suddenly.

Asai Moriyasu, Shimada Kanichi, and Makimura Taichi's expressions also changed drastically.

Some people... such as the youngest "Ghost Ota" Ota Eiji, and "Ghost Matsumoto" Matsumoto Shinichi, who was still upset about the defeat just now, their faces were full of disbelief.

Not only that, their eyes became much clearer, no longer fierce and sharp just now, only uncontrollable astonishment and horror.

All these changes were because Qing Deng released his "force"!

It's not that they haven't seen powerful "force".

However, it is really horrifying that someone as young as Qing Deng has such a terrifying "force"!

At this moment, they felt a tsunami hundreds of meters high coming straight at them!

Faced with a "tsunami" of this scale, people with weak willpower may not even be able to maintain their sanity!

Boss Kiryu seemed to have anticipated this situation.

He smiled slightly, with a playful expression, as if saying, "Ah? Don't you know that my apprentice is very strong?"

Kinoshita Mai looked around with narrowed eyes, and then with a large movement that she was afraid that others would not know, she raised her chest and chin with all her strength.

Although she tried to suppress it, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

At this time when everyone was still immersed in shock, Qing Deng silently raised the tip of the sword and started to move.

"Tenzen Rishin Ryu"

"Tachibana Qing Deng"

"Please teach me!"

His calm sight swept across the faces of his opponents along the sword.

"Thunder Slash" Shimada Kanichi, who was standing right in front of Qing Deng, gritted his teeth.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew towards Qing Deng - Shimada Kanichi stepped forward! The fast-moving limbs created a strong wind pressure!

While moving, he raised the bamboo sword above his head and then chopped it down!

"Thunder Slash"... It's worthy of the name!

His slash not only has the speed of lightning, but also the power of thunder!

Before the sword arrived, the hair on Qing Deng's face had already stood up because he sensed the danger.

Logically speaking, facing such a powerful attack, "dodge instead of block" is the best strategy.

However... Qing Deng seemed to be interested in a head-on confrontation with the opponent!

He did not dodge or evade, but raised his sword to block.

Then there was a loud "pop" and the two bamboo swords hit each other in the air.

After the fight, Qing Deng himself did not move at all, his feet firmly planted on the floor, while Shimada Kanichi took several steps back due to the reaction force.

The next breath, Qing Deng launched a counterattack!

He used a cassock slash on Shimada Kanichi's figure.

His attack, whether in terms of slashing speed or power, was far superior to Shimada Kanichi's!

When the sword was slashed out, it seemed as if even the space was distorted!

In comparison, Qing Deng was more like a "thunder slash"!

Shimada Kanichi's eyes widened - he knew he couldn't take this move head-on, so he dodged in a hurry.

He was like a sparrow, flapping his wings and flying far away.

At this time, new movements came from behind Qing Deng.

"Ghost Matsumoto" Matsumoto Shinichi and "Ghost Ota" Ota Eiji attacked Qing Deng from the left and right.

The former held the upper section, and the latter held the lower section, one attacked from above, and the other attacked from below.

Joint attack... Good timing!

Talent "Lonely +3", activated!

Suddenly, the sword shadow flashed, and Qing Deng swept a sword, forcing Matsumoto Shinichi away, forcing him to stop and retreat.

Without letting him breathe a sigh of relief, the slash cut through the air - Ota Eiji took the opportunity to sneak attack Qing Deng.

His attack timing was very vicious, but when his sword was about to sweep Qing Deng, he saw Qing Deng twisting his body like a rag - the talent "Water Body +4", activated - his upper body bent back at an amazing angle, cleverly dodging.

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

After shouting, Katakura Takanobu waved the wooden spear in his hand and led the way.

Asai Moriyasu, Makimura Taichi and other people followed suit.

Katakura Takanobu, who was older and more experienced, played the role of a "command tower", issuing precise instructions from time to time.

Facing his command, the others did not resist at all and followed his orders obediently.

They launched a high-intensity round-robin battle. When one person's attack weakened or stopped, another person immediately stepped forward to fill his "vacancy".

8 people... Such a number was more than enough to put Qing Deng under constant pressure from front, back, left and right.

Qing Deng stretched out his arms, waved his bamboo sword, and formed a tight protective shield with the sword shadow, blocking and knocking down the incoming attacks one by one.

At first glance, he seemed to have been suppressed and didn't even have a chance to fight back.

As expected, they are the 8 most outstanding warriors in the "Gourd Army". Whether it is personal strength or the degree of cooperation between each other, it can be said to be amazing.

It can be seen that they must often practice martial arts together on weekdays, otherwise they would never have such a wonderful cooperation.

Qing Deng couldn't help thinking: If the Shinsengumi generals and the Gourd House Heroes had a head-on confrontation, which side would win?

In terms of top combat power alone, the Shinsengumi generals with Okita Souji's plug-in-level combat power will have the advantage.

But in terms of cooperation, the Gourd House Heroes are afraid to have the upper hand.

It is still unknown who will win or lose in the battle between the two sides.

Soon, this fierce battle of 1 vs. 8 has lasted for more than 3 minutes.

Under the pressure of "momentum", the speed of physical and mental consumption will be greatly accelerated.

In addition, facing a master of Qing Deng's level, you must always be on your toes, which increases the burden on your body.

Therefore, although the time is short, many of the "Eight Heroes" have begun to sweat on their foreheads, and their breathing has become rapid.

One side has shown signs of fatigue, while the other side... Qing Deng's breathing is still fine and long, his complexion is normal, and his expression is relaxed!

"Yuan Yang +7", "Iron Lung +5", "Lion's Heart", "Lock Blood +7"... Any one of these talents can turn a person into a monster with strong heart and lung function and no lack of physical strength.

In fact, the tactics Qing Deng used at the moment were still his classic old tricks: observe the opponent's moves and fighting style first, and then defeat them one by one!

Qing Deng lowered his eyelids and looked around.

Soon, his sight locked onto the "dual-powered man" Asai Sheng'an who was on the left oblique side.

Coincidentally, the opponent was attacking him at this time.

Asai Sheng'an lowered his waist and rushed to Qing Deng as if he was sliding on the ground. He made a feint, seemingly attacking Qing Deng's chest, but in fact, he was attacking his lower body.

Qing Deng easily saw through his intention and dodged.

In the next moment after dodging, Qing Deng rushed forward, pushed the ground with both feet, and accelerated suddenly! His body turned into a translucent afterimage and quickly passed by Asai Sheng'an.

The bamboo sword in his palm drew a thrilling arc in the air, and then went around behind Asai Sheng'an.

Asai Sheng'an was in a trance, standing there in a daze - half of the bamboo sword fell at his feet.

Qing Deng just broke his bamboo sword with overwhelming brute force!
