I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Zorai's strength was great, even before his blade hit Ogata's face, Ogata could already hear the piercing sound of the blade cutting through the air, and feel the wind pressure from the blade on his cheek.

Not to the point where he had to catch the knife, Ogata staggered his feet, and while dodging Sarai's slash with a step, he dodged to Sarai's left side.

Ogata first used the ascending stairs, and slashed Zorai's chest vertically from bottom to top.

After completing the vertical slash on Zorai's chest and the blade slashing above Zorai, he turned the knife in his hand and changed the blade from the upward direction to the downward direction, then aimed at the same position and used Water Fall!

Mamiya and Zarai's subordinates watching the battle from the sidelines only saw the sword in Ogata's hand turn into a silver-white light, flashing twice in front of Zarai's chest from bottom to top, then top to bottom. Once, a little spark was cut.

However——Ogata's two combo attacks did not inflict much damage on Zorai.

After all, Zorai was wearing thick armor, and Ogata's two knives only succeeded in cutting 2 white marks on Zorai's breastplate.

Not only did it fail to cause any trauma to Zarai, but the knife in Ogata's hand had two more gaps.

But Ogata didn't care about it, he didn't expect him to be able to do any effective damage to Zorai who was wearing iron armor with the broken knife in his hand.

Zorai, who was stabbed twice in the chest, looked annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing armor with good protection performance, he would have died from Ogata's 2 knives just now in the back-and-forth round of competition just now.

After roaring and adjusting his stance, Zorai swung the knife in his hand and slashed horizontally towards Ogata.

But this time, Ogata did not use a step to dodge.

Instead, he chose to resist Zorai's slash.

Zorai's saber slashed towards Ogata from left to right.

Without any fear, Ogata raised the sword in his hand to his left side, and held Zarai's sword with the blade.

Sparks flashed, and there was a big gap between the blades of Ogata and Sarai's swords.

After their knives collided, they separated soon.

Taking a step back and slightly opening the distance between him and Ogata, Zorai lowered his body and lowered the center of gravity of his body. At the same time, he turned the knife in his hand so that the blade was flat and the tip was aimed at Ogata, and then With a sharp straight thrust, he stabbed at Ogata's chest.

Looking at the sharply enlarged blade tip in his field of vision, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.

He keenly discovered: because Zorai's straight stab was performed after lowering the center of gravity of the body, so - Zorai's knife is now at a very low height!

With a wrong step, he turned his body to one side.

While dodging to the left and dodging Zarai's thrust, Ogata looked at the location of Zarai's sword, and then raised his right foot high!

Boom!

With the sound of a small muffled sound, Ogata's right foot stepped on the tip of Sarai's knife that stabbed forward, but before it could retract the knife that stabbed empty.

The right foot stepped on the tip of the knife heavily on the ground, and there was a small muffled sound.

After stepping on the tip of the sword with his right foot, Ogata immediately raised his left foot and stepped on the blade of Sarai's sword.

Ogata's current state is that he is standing on Zora's sword.

The reason why Ogata wanted to stand on Zorai's sword was not to juggle.

Instead, he took Zorai's head more conveniently.

After stepping on Zarai's knife, Zarai's face is now within walking distance of Ogata.

Without any hesitation, Ogata quickly clenched the knife in his hand, and pointed the tip of the knife at Zorai's face...

However—before Ogata had time to use their Sakakibara Ichidou-style thrusting technique Bird Assassin, Zorai suddenly let out a roar.

Feeling the danger approaching, under the influence of the desire to survive, a powerful force suddenly burst out from his body. After this power poured into his arms, Zorai let out a furious roar, while slamming the tightly clenched knife Raise it upwards!

Ogata, who stepped on the back of Zarai's sword, suddenly felt that his footing became unstable.

Ogata, who had never expected that Zarai could suddenly burst out with such a strong force, made a decisive decision—abandoned the attack on Zorai, jumped backwards, jumped away from the back of the sword that could not stand still, and jumped back On the ground, the distance between Zora and Zora was restored.

"Hahaha……"

Panting heavily, Zorai clenched the knife in his hand again, and took a stance.

Compared to Sarai who was already panting heavily, Ogata was still in a state of ease.

After glancing at Sarai in front of him with calm eyes that made it hard to figure out what he was thinking, Ogata slowly retracted the knife in his hand into the scabbard.

Then separate the legs, lower the center of gravity of the body, turn the body slightly to the left, press the sheath with the left hand, and rest the right hand on the handle of the knife naturally.

Looking at this posture of Ogata, Mamiya, who had been standing not far behind Ogata, raised his eyebrows slightly, with a strong look of interest on his face.

As for Zorai now, he has a dignified face, looking at Ogata who put on this posture, Zorai said solemnly:

"Sword drawing..."

"Are you interested in picking up Iktosai's sword-drawing technique?" Ogata asked Zarai in a half-joking tone.

"……it is good!"

Zorai slowly raised the knife in his hand, switching to the upper stance.

"I would like to witness the power of Yidao Zhai, the executioner who has beheaded countless people!"

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Lai yelled and rushed towards Ogata!

After Ogata had entered his attack range, Zorai swung his arms downward, and the knife in his hand immediately turned into a silver whip, and swung it towards Ogata.

Since Zarai rushed towards him, Ookai narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Zorai's every movement.

When Zorai chopped off his knife, Ogata's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened! Daoist light burst out from his pupils.

The right hand grips the handle of the knife tightly and draws the knife out of its sheath—these two actions happen almost simultaneously.

Ogata, the knife that popped out of the sheath, swept towards the "light whip" thrown by Zorai from bottom to top!

clang! !

The deafening sound of metal and iron strikes exploded.

The knives of the two collided heavily in mid-air.

Looking at Ogata's sword-drawing technique, Mamiya standing behind Ogata muttered:

"It's Raikiri... Ogata-kun has also mastered Raikiri of Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship..."

The showdown didn't last long.

The moment the two swords collided in mid-air, the outcome was decided—Zorai's sword was directly bounced away.

Because the knife was bounced away, Zorai held the knife and leaned back forcefully with a face full of astonishment.

Zorai's door is now wide open, revealing all his flaws!

Naturally, it is impossible for Ogata to let go of this great opportunity to completely decide the outcome.
