My Gang of Swordsmen

Chapter 529: Chapter 178: Sazanoko’s Shock! Aoto, Now Even Stronger

The entire field of vision was almost completely covered by a white glow... This was the last sight this guy would ever see in his life.

The incoming Ghost-Slaying horizontally slashed, directly severing this person’s head.

The afterimage of Ghost-Slaying changed direction in midair, from a slash to a stab, piercing the chest of the enemy standing directly in front of Aoto. As he retrieved the Ghost-Slaying, Aoto took advantage of the momentum to execute a diagonal slash, slicing open the chest and abdomen of the man on his left.

In less than two breaths, the three who just moments ago launched a fierce attack on Aoto lay on the ground as fresh corpses.

At this time, the group of four led by the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” finally arrived—they were the last of the enemies.

Just one second ago, the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” was feeling quite lucky.

Relieved that they had finally succeeded in cornering Aoto, who had become encircled due to his unfavorable movement direction.

The three closest to Aoto first launched an attack on him, and then their group of four, who were a bit farther away from Aoto, arrived subsequently to tightly surround Aoto, attacking from different directions to see how he would defend or dodge—this was the ideal blueprint that had formed in the mind of the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior.”

But this ideal blueprint was shattered before it had lasted long.

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” and his group had already rushed to encircle Aoto at the fastest speed, yet unfortunately, they were still a step too late, failing to create a ”seven-on-one” situation.

Aoto looked towards the four final enemies who had finally arrived, standing in front, behind, to his left, and to his right.

This number... there’s no need to tangle with them any longer!

Aoto parted his lips, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and in an instant, his tall body began to ”dance” with his left foot as the pivot.

The blade light of the Ghost-Slaying flickered up and down along with Aoto’s ”dance.”

The white blade flashed! It shattered the skullcap of the person on his left.

The white blade flashed again! It sliced open the carotid artery in the neck of the person behind him.

The white blade flashed a third time! It slashed open the abdomen and the internal organs of the person on his right.

One slash, one kill... Aoto cut from left to right in a counterclockwise direction! Every time he drew his blade, it drew blood!

With a speed like the wind, Aoto dispatched the enemies to his left, behind, and right, leaving only the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” standing in front of him!

Aoto brought his blade back, held it upright and slashed down fiercely towards the neck of the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior.”

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” grunted, raised his blade to defend, and with a ”clang,” he caught Aoto’s blade. His defense was cleverly hidden with a rather ingenious force-relieving technique, reducing the power of Aoto’s slash by more than half.

Sazanoko had just warned him loudly: This man’s strength is quite formidable... and indeed, it was no exaggeration, as the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” was truly stronger than any of the enemies Aoto had just faced.

”Hyaaahhh—!”

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” shouted loudly, using his arms to push Aoto away, then retreated several steps to distance himself from Aoto.

”Huff... huff... huff... huff...”

The breathing was heavy, panting... not due to physical fatigue, but because of unprecedented mental pressure.

Though they had twelve people here, while the opponent was just one, a situation of twelve against one... clearly, they had the advantage in numbers, yet it resulted in them being slaughtered like cutting melon and vegetables. Even after fighting till now, they hadn’t managed to leave a single wound on the opponent...

—Who is this guy?!

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” mentally spewed out every curse he knew in a frenzy.

All his companions lay dead by his side, leaving only him alive... instinctively, he wanted to turn and flee quickly.

Given that so many of them couldn’t handle this guy, now with just him left against this guy one-on-one...

No matter how hard he tried to imagine, the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” couldn’t envision a scene where he would succeed in defeating the person before him...

However, he also knew—without defeating the person in front of him, the chance of him escaping unscathed was exceedingly slim.

Moreover, a samurai’s pride wouldn’t allow him to flee from the battlefield.

—Fight to the death!

”Hyaaahhhh—!”

The gaze of the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” flashed with a gambler-like spirit as he opened his mouth widely, letting out a loud Qi Union shout.

His voice was so loud that it made Aoto almost feel the urge to cover his ears.

The Qi Union shout, roared with all his might, was both to bolster his courage and to exert his strength!

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” had already experienced Aoto’s slashing speed multiple times, and he wasn’t confident that he could block or dodge all of Aoto’s attacks.

If that’s the case, then attack proactively!

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” dashed forward, and upon reaching a distance where his blade could strike Aoto, he swung his lowered blade in a right-lower-rank stance fiercely towards Aoto’s legs from below.

Glancing at the blade approaching his lower half, Aoto lowered his body, sinking his center of gravity.

Subsequently, there was a ”clang,” as the two blades clashed and the ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior’s” blade was deflected.

The ”Hanging Corner Eye Warrior” bit down hard, stubbornly retrieving his blade, then launched a new series of slashes at Aoto, only to be parried by Aoto again.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

Two silver snakes continually collided and intertwined in the night... under the sparks flying from the constant clashes of blades, after the two exchanged five blows, Aoto suddenly switched his stance.
