I formed the strongest swordsman group

——Where is this place...?

Qing Deng felt like he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

His head was swollen and dizzy...

His body seemed to be floating in the air, a little light...

His memory seemed to be covered by a thin film, becoming blurred and difficult to distinguish.

It was like waking up from a dream, vaguely remembering that he had a dream, but could not remember the specific details of the dream.

As his consciousness became clear, his senses such as vision, hearing, and touch gradually recovered.

The first thing he felt was the pain in his right hand.

There was a burning pain on the back of his right hand where Muramasa had cut him.

Because the wound was torn, it looked terrible, bleeding profusely, and even the bones of his little finger were exposed.

But even so, his right fist was still clenched tightly regardless of the injury, as if he was about to hit something.

Then, Qing Deng felt that his right arm was being tightly pulled by someone.

He looked up - it was Nagakura Shinpachi.

Shinpachi Nagakura stood on his right side, holding his right arm tightly with his left hand, so that his right fist was suspended in the air, unable to fall.

Just like Souji, Shinpachi Nagakura's expression was dominated by strong worry, and he looked at him with horror:

"Mr. Tachibana, stop hitting him, give him a quick death."

After hearing this, Qing Deng finally realized that he was riding on the body of an enemy soldier.

Even Qing Deng, who was used to bloody scenes, couldn't help but be shocked at this time - the appearance of this enemy soldier was really unbearable to watch!

His skin was torn, blood was dripping, and his face was unrecognizable.

His face was swollen, almost twice the size of an ordinary person, and his mouth was full of broken teeth.

To put it bluntly, even if his mother came, she wouldn't recognize him.

In addition, his body was twitching slightly, he was breathing in but not out, and he made a weak groan of "ho ho" from his mouth, and he had lost the ability to speak.

Obviously, this man is beyond saving... He is just struggling to survive now.

"Huh... Huh... Huh... Huh..."

Suddenly, his moaning became a little louder, as if he was deliberately trying to attract the attention of Qing Deng and others.

Qing Deng and others looked in the direction of the sound - he cast a pleading look at them... or a desperate look.

Although he couldn't speak, anyone who saw his eyes could understand the meaning: Kill me! Give me a quick death!

Saito Ichi walked up with a complicated expression, moved to the side of this man, pierced his heart with a knife, and gave him a quick death.

Qing Deng watched all this in a daze... It was not until this moment that the fog in his mind finally dissipated.

Just now, his memory only stopped at the paragraph "Only Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi dared to rush straight into the enemy's main camp."

He couldn't recall what happened next, as if this memory had been cut out of thin air.

And now, these "disappeared" memory fragments emerged one by one-

My mind was filled with regret, anxiety, and unwillingness...

I was thinking about "becoming stronger"...

Suddenly I felt that I was integrated with the world...

Strong perception...Inexhaustible power emerged in my body...

A long-lost state...

Strong state...!

Just like a child who got a new toy and was eager to show off to others, he was intoxicated by this extremely powerful power...and he was reckless in violence...!

Defeating Takasugi Shinsaku with overwhelming strength...

Waving his fists one after another, he tortured the enemy soldiers under him...

When he recalled the part of "destroying the enemy camp with overwhelming force", suddenly, Nagakura Shinpachi's nervous voice came into his ears:

"Mr. Tachibana, you...what are you laughing at...?"

Qing Deng was stunned, and then subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.

Although it was barely noticeable, the right corner of his mouth did turn up, forming a shallow arc.

Not to mention Souji and the others, even Qing Deng himself was confused and couldn't figure out why he was laughing.

At this time, Qing Deng seemed to sense something, slowly raised his head, and looked at Souji and the others in front of him with a wooden expression.

Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi all cast complicated and meaningful glances at him.

It was the first time for them to look at Qing Deng with such eyes.

This look... It was like seeing some terrible monster!

"... Qing Deng, let's take a break first, okay?"

Souji took out the linen he carried with him from his arms and bandaged Qing Deng's right palm without saying anything.

Saito Ichi on the side added:

"Mr. Tachibana, Mr. Inoue and the others will arrive soon. Let them handle the rest."

Nagakura Shinpachi also said:

"Mr. Tachibana, your current condition... is not quite right. Souji is right, you should take a rest first."

"..."

Aoto did not speak.

He just nodded silently to show his agreement, and then quietly accepted Souji's bandage.

...

...

That night -

Nangong Mountain, the top of the mountain, the main camp of the Shinsengumi -

If there is any regret in today's battle, it is that the main force of the Qiheitai was not completely defeated.

The heroic charge of Aoto, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi not only greatly boosted the morale of the Shinsengumi, but also achieved jaw-dropping and amazing results!

Not only did they successfully capture the main camp of the Qiheitai, but they also almost took down Takasugi Shinsaku's head.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fact that the flag of sincerity was planted on the top of Mount Nangong today was basically due to the unremitting efforts of the four of them!

However... although Qing Deng had long regarded the Special Forces as a major threat, he found that he still underestimated the fighting spirit of this unit.

Even though the main camp fell and the battle situation was extremely unfavorable, they did not show any signs of collapse!

When the main camp was about to fall, they retreated eastward in an orderly manner.

After Qing Deng, Souji and others temporarily retreated to the rear to rest, Inoue Genzaburo temporarily took over the command of the right wing and led the large force to pursue.

Although certain results were achieved, the Special Forces were not completely defeated.

The remaining combat power of the Special Forces set up a new camp at the eastern foot of Mount Nangong and arranged a new line of defense, preparing to continue to fight against the Shinsengumi.

Qing Deng originally planned to break through Sekigahara in two days.

Now it seems... this time limit has to be extended!

Before nightfall, Qing Deng moved the main camp to the top of Nangong Mountain, replacing the original Qibingtai main camp.

Looking eastward from the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the fire of the Qibingtai camp.

The huge three-star flag (the family crest of the Mori family) stood tall on the eastern foot of Nangong Mountain, unwilling to bend even a little.

…

…

The main camp, Qing Deng's tent——

A fifty-year-old, experienced doctor sat beside Qing Deng, suturing the wound on the back of his right hand with skillful techniques.

Although Souji gave Qing Deng's right hand a simple bandage during the day, it was just a simple hemostasis, far from being a treatment.

To cure this injury, further treatment is needed.

"Okay, it's fine now!"

After saying that, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Qing Deng looked down at his right hand, which was swollen with linen. The strong smell of medicine replaced the original smell of blood.

The doctor's bandage technique was very professional. Although it was wrapped tightly, it did not hinder the movement of the five fingers.

In other words, it did not prevent him from holding the knife.

"Sanada-kun, thank you for your hard work."

The doctor called "Sanada" smiled slightly and said some polite words such as "I don't deserve it" and "I am very honored".

At the end of his words, he specifically reminded:

"My Lord, such a deep wound will most likely leave a scar."

Qing Deng smiled:

"It doesn't matter, I have enough scars on my body, I don't care about this one."

The doctor paused, then changed his tone to admiration:

"My Lord, this wound is really close."

"If it was a little deeper, it would have injured your little finger bone."

"If the bone is injured, this wound will be difficult to treat."

"It's just a flesh injury and some blood... It's really a blessing in disguise."

Qing Deng smiled but said nothing.

Only he himself knew the hidden truth.

On the one hand, the handle of the knife blocked most of the damage for him.

On the other hand, Qing Deng's body hardness was too abnormal!

In fact, the knife that Takasugi Shinsaku chopped was very thrilling.

If it were an ordinary person, at least a little finger would be lost.

Thanks to Qing Deng's body hardness being different from that of ordinary people.

Because few people have ever injured Qing Deng, his defense is rarely shown.

With the blessing of a series of talents such as "Steel Bones +4", "Strong Muscles +6", "Slim Body +3", and "Soft Body +2", Qing Deng not only has full attack power, but also abnormally strong defense!

[Note·Slim Body +3: Extraordinary strong internal organs]

[Note·Soft Body +2: Extraordinary toughness and elasticity of the skin. ]

A slash that is strong enough to cut human bones may only cut the skin and flesh on Qing Deng.

Because there are still many military affairs waiting for him to deal with, Qing Deng asked the doctor to leave first.

When he was the only one left in the account, he bowed his head in front of the case, frowned slightly, and looked solemnly at the documents on the case - this was the casualty report that Kondo Isami had just counted.

Although the results of today's battle are very impressive, but... what is the price?

The terrible combat power displayed by the enemy soldiers today made the ordinary soldiers of the Shinsengumi suffer a lot.

A large number of soldiers were killed or injured on both the left and right wings!

Secondly, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi, who followed Qing Deng to charge into the main camp of the special forces today, were all injured.

Saito Ichi was exhausted and had a serious muscle strain in his right arm.

I checked the correct version on the 16-9 book forum!

Nagakura Shinpachi was injured in his right leg, but fortunately his life was not in danger.

Souji was in a slightly better condition, with no obvious external injuries, but she was also exhausted and almost collapsed.

According to the doctor, the three of them had to rest and should not go to the front line in a short period of time, otherwise they would suffer from an incurable disease.

In just two days, the four generals that Qing Deng relied on the most - Soji, Yamanami Keisuke, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Saito Ichi - were all injured and forced to retreat to the rear to recuperate...

Looking at the casualty report in front of him, Qing Deng remained silent for a long time...

Just then, a report from the guards outside the tent came:

"My lord! Captain Fujido asks you to go to him immediately!"

Hearing that it was Fujido Heisuke's request, Qing Deng responded without hesitation:

"Yes, I know."

...

...

In a tent in the main camp--

Qing Deng lifted the curtain and just as he entered the tent, he saw the handsome face of Fujido Heisuke.

Seeing Aoden coming, Toudo Heisuke strode forward to greet him.

This small tent was crowded with many people.

There is Toudo Heisuke.

There are 6 soldiers holding candles, whips, salt water and other torture instruments.

There was also a young warrior who was tied up and kneeling on the ground.

This man is the prisoner captured today.

Judging from his attire, he is obviously a member of the Raiders.

It is rare to catch a high-ranking enemy official. Is there any reason not to interrogate him?

What Qingdeng wants to know most is undoubtedly the intelligence of the Fa Zun Party and what is going on with the sudden increase in the combat effectiveness of the Qi Corps today.

Therefore, Aoto entrusted the task of "interrogating this person" to Toudo Heisuke.

Judging from the current bruised appearance of the other party, Toudo Heisuke was very dedicated to this job.

Aoto nodded to Toudou Heisuke, and then asked bluntly:

"How's it going? Is he willing to recruit?"

Todo Heisuke nodded:

"Well, I'm sure that he is absolutely telling everything he knows now."

"very good."

Aomori gave Toudo Heisuke an appreciative look.

Then he turned his head and looked directly down at his prisoner.

"May I have your name?"

The prisoner's body trembled suddenly, he raised his head tremblingly, and looked at Qingdeng with fear on his face.

The soldier next to him slapped him in the face:

"Don't be stupid! Just answer whatever I ask you!"

After this slap, his eyes instantly became clear.

"I say, I say! I say everything! Stop hitting me! I, I am the captain of the fifth team of the Raiders, Kei Kageyama!"

While listening to the self-introduction of the prisoner... Katsura Kageyama, Aomori winked at Heisuke Toudou beside him.

Toudo Heisuke immediately understood Aonto's intention and ordered all the soldiers in the tent to retreat.

After a while, only Aonto, Todo Heisuke and Kageyama Kei were left on the scene.

Qingdeng's eyes fell back on Jingshan Gui and went straight to the point:

"What exactly did you do to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers?"

Hearing this, Jingshan Gui felt a trace of hesitation in his cheeks.

However, this hesitation was quickly erased by the pain from the wounds all over his body.

"We...we ate the 'Decisive Lake' given to us by the Fanzhu Party..."

Qingdeng immediately frowned and muttered.

"'Decisive Battle of Yodo'..."

This weird name... reminded him instantly of the "phantom lake" that had implicated two generations of the Tachibana family (Takayuki Takayuki and Tachibana Aomori).

"Tell me in detail, what is this 'Decisive Battle of Lake' all about?"

Jingshan Gui swallowed hard and said quickly:

"I don't know the specific details."

"I only know that this is a drug that the French Communist Party spent countless manpower and material resources on for a long time, and it was only successfully developed a while ago."

"After taking it, it can make people extremely excited! Improve people's muscle strength and concentration... To put it simply, this medicine can turn a weak scholar into a powerful person in a short period of time. A warrior of hundreds!”

After Todohei listened, he couldn't help but said:

"There are such powerful medicines in this world...! If we could produce them, wouldn't we be able to easily create an invincible army?"

Todo Heisuke has learned deeply how brave today's team is.

After Keiyama Katsura heard Toudo Heisuke's emotion, he hurriedly added:

"This, although this medicine has amazing effects, it also has great flaws! It can cause great harm to the human body!"

"If you take it continuously in a short period of time, you may even die suddenly."

"Precisely because this medicine cannot be used frequently and can only be used in important battles involving life and death, it is named 'Decisive Battle of Yodo'."

"It is precisely because this medicine has extremely severe side effects that Master Takasugi is very resistant to it."

"If the battle situation had not been unfavorable, he would not have wanted to use the 'Decisive Battle'..."

Toudo Heisuke was stunned for a while.

Qingdeng's reaction was much calmer.

In a word, "Decisive Battle" is something similar to stimulants.

However, the efficacy of this stimulant is amazing! On the contrary, its side effects are also amazing!

He has no doubts about the biopharmaceutical technology of the French government.

After all, they had developed "phantom deposits" with strong hallucinogenic effects.

With such amazing biopharmaceutical technology, it is not surprising to develop a stimulant!

After Qingdeng pondered for a moment, he asked his second question:

"How much do you know about the Punishment Party? Have you ever met their leader Yamata no Orochi?"

Jingshan Gui shook his head.

"I have never seen Yamata no Orochi...Only Takasugi-sama and Katsura-sama have seen him."

Qingdeng asked calmly:

"What about the 'three major cadres'? Have you ever seen Otakemaru, Shuten Doji and Tamamo Mae?"

"I have never seen Otakemaru and Tamamozen. I have only seen Shuten Douji. He is always with Takasugi-sama and Katsura-sama."

Qingden's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Tell me all the information you know about Shuten Douji. Don't leave it out."

There was some hesitation in Jingshan Gui's eyes.

"I-I don't know Shuten Doji very well."

"I never spoke to him, I only glanced at him from a distance."

"He was young, he looked to be in his twenties."

"His appearance is very handsome, even better than the Kabuki actors!"

"Also, he has a good temperament, giving people the feeling of a refined scholar."

"As for the rest... the rest..."

He paused, sweating and thinking hard.

After a while, he seemed to recall something, showing a strange expression:

"That... what I'm going to say next is all from hearsay. Whether it's true or not, I can't be sure..."

Toudou Heisuke scolded impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Kageyama Kaede shuddered in fear, and dared not hesitate any longer:

"It is said that! It's really just 'it is said'! Shuten Douji is a genius warrior who is rare in the world! He has the ability to freely enter the legendary 'selfless realm'!"
