I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I didn't know why it was very noisy here, so I ran over to take a look. It turned out that you were fighting with others, Ogata-kun. Fortunately, there were no ogres wandering around here, otherwise you would make such a loud noise, I'm afraid it would cause trouble." There are a lot of ogres coming."

"Tch... are you late... Brother Ogata, you are almost finished..."

Following the fall of the two male voices, two figures, one tall and one short, stepped out of the darkness, stepping into the area illuminated by the light of the torch.

The prisoners were basically killed by Ogata, and the torches in their hands fell all over the ground, so the surroundings of Ogata and Sotaro were still bright.

The owners of these two figures, as well as the two sword lights just now, are naturally Jiangong and Mucun.

As for Matsumoto, he followed closely behind Jiangong and Mucun cautiously, accepting their protection.

Mamiya glanced at the dead bodies on the ground, and Sotaro who was looking at him and Mucun with an ugly face, and then asked Ogata in a relaxed tone:

"Ogata-kun, do you need help?"

"No need." After answering Mamiya's words without thinking, Ogata raised the sword in his hand high, swung it down vigorously, shaking off the blood attached to the blade, and then walked slowly towards Sotaro.

"Tsk..." Soutaro, whose face was as black as a lump of charcoal, clenched the wakizashi in his hands, spread his legs, and put himself in a stance, "You bastard...! Who the hell are you?!"

"I've said it just now." Ogata said in a calm tone, "Under various chances and coincidences, the ronin who happened to appear here."

After finishing speaking, Ogata suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards Sotaro with a stride.

Ogata swung the sword and Wakizashi in his hand at the same time, and two sword lights, one long and one short, enveloped Sotaro.

Ogata's sword was as fast as lightning, but Soutaro's reaction was not bad, he could barely keep up with Ogata's speed.

Even if he raised the Wakizashi in his hand, he faced Ogata's swords.

clang!

As a loud sound of gold and iron colliding fell, the two swords collided heavily.

"Hmm..." Although Sotaro managed to hold Ogata's sword,

But because he was not as strong as Ogata, he staggered back a few steps while clutching the knife in his hand.

On the other hand, Ogata - standing still.

Before Sotaro could stand still, Ogata's pursuit came.

This time, it was Ogata's Wakizawa who cut it down to Sotaro.

Wakisashi cut through the air, and Asa Sotaro slashed at him head-on. Sotaro's arms were still numb from receiving Ogata's attack just now. But Sotaro can't control so much now.

Gritting his teeth tightly, relying on brute force, he forced himself to hold the Wakizashi tightly in his hand, and greeted the knife that Ogata slashed.

This time Ogata only used one arm and one sword to attack, so the power was not as powerful as his double-sword combo just now, so if Sotaro went all out, he could still parry Ogata's single-sword attack.

However - as soon as Soutaro stopped Ogata's Wakizawa, the sword in Ogata's right hand came.

The knife path of the sword is completely different from the knife path of Wakizashi just now.

Ogata's wakizashi just now was cut from the lower left to the upper right.

But now the knife is cut from the upper right to the lower left.

The two attacks in completely different directions made Sotaro hastily adjust his posture and the direction of the knife in his hand.

Once again successfully fending off Ogata's sword attack, before Soutaro could take a breath, Ogata's Wakizashi came again...

Just like that, Ogata kept brandishing his two swords, slashing at Sotaro from all directions.

Soutaro was able to cope with it barely at first, but as time passed and his physical strength declined, Soutaro gradually lost his rhythm. Facing Ogata's continuous slashing with two swords, he was not even strong enough to fight back. Even the power to parry is gradually losing...

Knowing in his heart that he would definitely lose if he continued like this, Sotaro gritted his teeth, a ruthless look appeared on his face.

He decided to give up this ignorant defense.

Find the right moment to turn the tide of battle with one attack.

Soutaro stared intently at the sword in Ogata's hands, looking for the most suitable war record for counterattack.

clang!

After parrying Ogata's saber again, Soutaro's eyes shot out cold light.

At this time, Ogata's sword had just been blocked, and Wakizawa hadn't come to kill Sotaro—it was the best time to launch a counterattack!

If he dragged on, he might not have the strength to parry Ogata's attack, so Sotaro didn't hesitate to step on the ground with his feet firmly, and the power was transmitted from his feet to his waist, and then from his waist. He reached his arms, concentrated all his strength on the back of his arms, and aimed at Ogata's chest with an extremely sharp straight stab!

What Sotaro used was exactly the assassination technique in their Shiranui Ninjutsu.

The knife that Sotaro stabs out is fast and ruthless. Years of training in Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu and the experience he has cultivated in assassinations allow Sotaro to roughly judge Ogata's heart just by looking at it with his eyes. where.

So he has full confidence - if he can hit Ogata, he will be able to pierce Ogata's heart!

Of course, the premise for all this to happen is that his knife can stab Ogata.

Facing the knife stabbed by Sotaro, Ogata was neither panic nor flustered.

Because——Soutaro's stab may look very fast to outsiders.

But from Ogata’s point of view——so be it.

After using the breath of source, the reflex nerve that was temporarily raised to 10 points allowed Ogata to see Sotaro's knife path very easily.

Using a step, he swiftly flashed to Sotaro's right side.

Following Ogata's dodge, Sotaro's wakizasa was naturally pierced.

Ogata did not give Sotaro a chance to take the sword back.

Before Sotaro retracted the sword and his right arm was still straightened, Ogata raised the wakizashi of his left hand and pierced Sotaro's right forearm directly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The right forearm was pierced directly from right to left, making Sotaro cry out in pain.

In the next moment, Sotaro's wailing escalated directly.

Because——after piercing Soutaro's right arm with Wakizashi, Ogata directly swung the sword in his right hand, and cut off Soutaro's right hand from the elbow.

With a "click", Soutaro's right arm, which was still holding Wakizawa, fell to the ground.

As for Sotaro, he wailed hoarsely and fell to his knees in pain.

The severe pain from his right arm caused Soutaro's body to convulse continuously, and he didn't even have the strength left to stand up.

However, even if he can still stand up, it doesn't make much sense.

After all—he is no match for Ogata even with healthy arms, how could he turn defeat into victory after Ogata cut off his arm.

Ogata glanced at Soutaro who was lying on the ground, howling continuously.

Then he silently shook off the blood attached to the blades of the two knives in his hands, and then put the knives back into their sheaths.

"Huh?" Mamiya, who had been watching the battle, raised his eyebrows, "Ogata-kun, don't you kill him?"

"I originally wanted to kill him directly." Ogata said softly, "But I thought about it—it's better to leave him to those who have been hurt by him to deal with slowly."

"Compared to me, they should want to cook this guy more by themselves."
