I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The wind - seemed to stop at this moment.

The surrounding air began to solidify as if it suddenly had a solid body.

Ogata and Qiyuan stood facing each other in their respective postures.

A leaf suddenly fell from a branch above Ogata.

The leaf fluttered down boredly.

Slowly, slowly drifting towards the top of Ogata's head.

Just when this leaf was about to fall on Ogata's hair...

Snapped!

Ogata stepped back with his hind foot and rushed towards Qiyuan.

The strong wind brought by Ogata's forward rush directly blew the fallen leaf into the sky, turned it into a black spot, and then disappeared completely.

Ogata and Qiyuan moved almost at the same time.

The two people who rushed towards each other, the knife in their hands turned into two cold lights, and slashed towards each other.

clang!

"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"*2

Ogata and Qiyuan's knives collided heavily, and the two roared as if they wanted to hoarse their throats in one breath.

The two swords collided and separated, collided and separated again.

Even after fighting hundreds of samurai, Ogata was no longer at the peak of physical strength and strength, and he did not lose the wind in the slightest. He received or dodged every attack of Qiyuan without any hesitation, and launched a fierce battle against Qiyuan The attack must be fought back violently.

Sakakibara One Sword Style Bird Thorn!

Ogata's sword turned into a stream of light, which poured towards Qiyuan's head.

Under the blessing of the state of "Non-Self Realm", all of Ogata's martial arts were temporarily raised by one level.

The three skills of bird stab, blade counter, and flow have been directly upgraded from "advanced" to "master level".

In the past, Ogata also guessed that the conditions for advanced to master level were so harsh, so the power of master level martial arts should be far higher than that of advanced martial arts.

Now it seems that it is so.

Ogata didn't even know how to use words to describe the gap between the two.

Big difference—this is the only suitable adjective that Ogata can think of.

Qiyuan turned her head to one side, barely dodging the streamer.

But this stream of light still brushed Qiyuan's left cheek, leaving a huge gash on Qiyuan's left cheek, and this half of Qiyuan's face was immediately covered with blood.

Almost in the next instant, Qiyuan launched a counterattack, lifting the sword in his hand from bottom to top.

clang!

Although "circulation" cannot be used because there is no wakizashi available, Ogata can still use the three moves of "breath of the source", "blade counter", and "stepping" in Wuwo two swords style.

Ogata quickly retracted the stabbed sword, and blocked Qiyuan's raised sword with "Blade", Qiyuan retreated a few steps to distance himself from Ogata.

There was such a big wound on his face, blood flowed over half of his face, and dripped down his chin "gurglingly", but Qi Yuan seemed to be indifferent to the pain, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even feel the pain. There was no intention of wiping the blood off his face.

"Ogata Itsuki, your current state is really strange."

"It stands to reason that you, who have suffered so many injuries and just fought with more than a hundred warriors, should not be able to have any more strength."

"But now you not only still have the strength to spare, but your spirit is also quite excited."

"If you enter this strange state when you are in full physical condition, I may not be your opponent, not only not your opponent, but even unable to do your three moves."

"It's really a pity."

For what Qiyuan said just now, Ogata didn't take it seriously: "Even if my current physical condition is not good, I can still kill you!"

"Then go ahead and try it out."

After all, Qiyuan clenched the sword in his right hand again, and took a mid-section stance.

It's just... Qiyuan twisted her left wrist unnaturally when she readjusted her middle stance.

Because Qiyuan's movements are very subtle, if you don't look carefully, you can't find this small movement of Qiyuan's left wrist.

After regaining his stance, Qiyuan didn't confront Ogata for too long, and stepped on his back foot directly, turning his body into an off-string arrow, and charged towards Ogata.

Ogata clenched the knife in his hand, fixed his eyes on Qiyuan, and prepared to meet Qiyuan's new round of attacks.

At this moment—when Qiyuan was only 4 steps away from Ogata, Qiyuan suddenly let go of his left hand that was holding the lower end of the knife handle.

Aiming at Ogata with his left palm, he shook his left wrist unnaturally.

A tiny black shadow immediately flew out from Qiyuan's sleeve and shot toward Ogata.

He flew straight towards Ogata's eyebrows.

After the tiny black shadow flew away from his sleeve, Qi Yuan, who was originally expressionless, showed a faint smug expression on his face.

While maintaining the complacent look on his face, Qiyuan clenched the saber in his hand, ready to slash Ogata's eyebrows directly after the tiny black shadow hit the center of Ogata's eyebrows, making up for Ogata's saber, and it ended completely. Ogata's life.

However, the smug look on his face didn't last long before it disappeared.

Because——when the tiny black shadow was about to hit Ogata's eyebrow, Ogata suddenly vertically raised the sword in his hand, and put the blade horizontally between the tiny black shadow and his own eyebrow.

clang.

The sound of gold and iron sounded.

This tiny black shadow was bounced away by Ogata's suddenly raised blade.

Then, Ogata took advantage of the situation and pushed the knife in his hand forward, and slashed at Qiyuan who was only a short distance away from him.

This sudden change can only make Qiyuan give up his plan of "using a horizontal slash to make up for the knife", change his moves in a hurry, block Ogata's slash, and then quickly retreat a few steps, and distance himself from Ogata again .

"After knowing that you have a hidden weapon, do you think I will be successfully attacked by you?"

While speaking in a disdainful tone, Ogata glanced at the "small black shadow" that was now lying quietly at his feet.

The true face of this "tiny black shadow" is a sharp arrow no longer as long as an adult's tail finger.

"Tsk..." Qiyuan let out an annoyed "tsk".

Then he turned his head slightly and glanced at the corpses of Ichiro and others in the distance.

"It seems...the corpses of those people exposed the fact that I have a hidden weapon..."

"I didn't expect that." Ogata said softly, "Qiyuan, who has the title of 'the number one swordsman in the Hirose Clan', is actually good at using hidden weapons."

"Concealed weapons are so easy to use. Why don't I use them?" Qiyuan said with a look of reason, "In a life-and-death fight, victory is everything. As long as I can win the fight, I can use any trick come out."

"You guys hide quite deeply. I've never heard that you have hidden weapons."

"Because everyone who saw me using this hidden weapon is dead!"

call--!

Another gust of wind blew.

As soon as Qiyuan's voice fell, he kicked his hind foot again and swung his knife to kill Ofang.
