I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: Saemon's wide-eyed face is close at hand.

A series of screams reached Ogata's ears—the voices of the ten shooters brought by Saemon.

Although Ogata and Yoshiemon have been wrestling together, making them unable to find a chance to snipe for a long time, they still dutifully follow behind Ogata and the two of them. Wherever Ogata and Yoshiemon fight, they will where to follow.

They witnessed the entire process of the left and right gate being pierced through the throat and heart, some of them managed to maintain their composure, but some couldn't help but scream.

- succeeded...

——Finally defeated this guy...

Ogata let out a deep breath in his heart.

Stepping on the tip of the naginata stabbed by the enemy in mid-air, using it as a foothold and a point of strength-probably only the step up to the "grandmaster level" can make this scene like a god level appear.

Ogata had never tried such a bold close approach before, so just now Ogata was sweating.

Fortunately, his bold attack plan succeeded, and Ogata finally felt relieved.

Click.

There was a sound like a knife cutting meat.

Ogata turned Wakizashi and Hito, making the two swords circle around in Saemon's body, and then pulled them out of Saemon's body.

Ge Kai contracted due to the severe pain, and the muscles that clamped the blade made it easier to draw the knife, but at the same time further expanded the injury, making Left and Right Mons dead beyond measure.

——Okay... Next... Let's defeat the shooters brought by this big man, and then take a short rest...

Although less than 3 minutes passed from the beginning to the end of the battle with Yoshiemon, it only lasted 3 minutes, and the intensity of the battle really made Ogata feel more tired Quite a lot.

Ogata pulled the sword back from Saemon's body while thinking about the follow-up action plan.

However……

Just when Ogata pulled out Oto and Wakizawa from Saemon's body, Saemon's body shook, and he was about to fall to the ground——

Snapped!

Ogata suddenly felt his right shoulder being grabbed by a big hand like a cattail fan!

sudden misfortune,

Ogata's pupils suddenly shrank.

The owner of this big fan-like hand is none other than Saemon, who is supposed to be about to die!

Yoshiemon, who was still staggering just now, looked like he was about to fall to the ground, stood up suddenly, and raised his huge left hand to grab Ogata's right shoulder.

Waves of intense astonishment and shock hit Ogata's brain, like a gust of cool wind howling in Ogata's brain.

The fighting instinct cultivated by years of fighting is at work again at this moment.

Ogata's body reacted one step ahead of his brain - quickly back up! Pull away the distance from the left and right gates!

His reaction was quick, and he was already the first to respond.

But...it was still half a step late because the opportunity was snatched...

Boom!

Soemon bent his right leg and hit Ogata's abdomen with his knee.

Ogata's stomach just got hit by Saemon's knee.

Ogata's body bent into a bow shape with the area hit by the knee as the center, and flew backwards. After flying back a full distance of 2 steps, Ogata finally adjusted his body shape, stabilizing landing.

"Cough! Cough cough! Cough—!"

As soon as his feet hit the ground, Ogata coughed violently.

Now there is one good thing and one bad thing about Ogata.

The good thing is that his Dao and Wakizashi didn't let go, they were still in his hands.

"Swordsman's Instinct" made Ogata subconsciously hold the two swords tightly even if he suffered a knee bump from the left and right guards, and did not let the swords out of his hands.

The bad thing is the knee bump just now by Soemon, which made Ogata feel that his internal organs are about to be displaced, sweet taste gushes out of his throat, and the saliva he spit out when he coughs hard is full of saliva. Bloodshot.

—Damn, damn...!

Ogata coughed vigorously, while staring at Saemon who looked very scary now.

There is a hole pierced by a knife from the front of the body to the back of the left and right door's throat and heart.

A large amount of blood came out along these two holes, dyeing half of Yoshiemon's body red and bloody.

With this appearance, there is no way to equate him with a living person.

However, the fact is that it is astonishing—Saieemon's eyes are still full of light and spirit, and he can still kick a strong knee kick that Ogata has not recovered from until now.

Ogata dared to guarantee 100% that his sword and Wakizawa had not stabbed in the wrong place just now, and indeed pierced the heart and throat of Saeemon.

Not only was it pierced, but when it was pulled back, it turned around in a circle, which amplified its injury.

Throat pierced and heart pierced—either of these two wounds can kill a person beyond death.

Yoshiemon, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly "resurrected"——Ogata suddenly remembered that he had seen a very similar scene in Butterfly Island before.

In Butterfly Island before, I also dealt with this kind of people who should die but didn't die.

——Is it not dead...!

As soon as the word "undead" came out of Ogata's mind, a frightening wind pressure sounded in front of him.

This is the wind pressure blown by Yoshiemon while turning his naginata.

call--!

The blade of the naginata whizzed towards Ogata's head.

Ogata gritted his teeth and rolled to the right.

Although he escaped the slash, he dodged very narrowly, and the blade of the naginata almost brushed against Ogata's left shoulder.

boom!

The split naginata hit the wooden bridge, leaving a large hole in the wooden bridge leading directly to the turbulent flow below.

There are holes in the throat and heart - this doesn't seem to have much impact on Yoshiemon's strength.

Left and right gate raised his naginata again at a fast speed, and then launched a sharp and fierce attack on Ogata on the wooden bridge.

And at this moment, Ogata noticed something strange about Yoshiemon's wound - red blood streaks emerged from Yoshiemon's wound like disgusting bugs.

These bugs are entangled together, filling and repairing the wounds of Saemon...

--hateful……

Ogata endured the severe pain in his abdomen, while struggling to dodge the attacks of Left and Right Gate.

That knee bump of Soemon just now had a great impact on Ogata.

The knee is one of the hardest and most powerful weapons of the human body, and the one who kicked this knee kick was the already amazing strength and speed of Saeemon.

Ogata felt as if a motorcycle had hit him in the stomach.

The severe pain in the abdomen not only made it difficult for Ogata to concentrate, but also made Ogata's movements dull and stiff.

Yoshiemon also found out that Ogata was affected by his sneak attack just now, and his current state is very bad, so he accelerated the frequency of attacks and did not give Ogata any respite.

Boom!

After blasting another big hole on the bridge leading directly to the river below, Yoshiemon quickly changed his stance, and swung his knife towards Ogata's feet with a sweeping motion.

Ogata jumped to the side and onto the handrail of the bridge next to him, with his left hand gripping his aching abdomen.

As soon as Ogata jumped onto the handrail, Saemon's naginata blade seemed to be equipped with a tracker, and he followed Ogata from bottom to top.

Ogata jumped again.

Crackling!

The row of gauntlets he was standing on just now were swept away by the left and right guards like toppled building blocks.

Ogata fell from the gauntlet to the ground.

Due to his poor physical condition, Ogata finally made a mistake—when he jumped away from the gauntlet, he failed to adjust his body posture in mid-air.

After falling back to the bridge, Ogata staggered a few steps on the bridge due to his improper posture.

In a duel between masters, even a moment's mistake will bring disaster—this sentence is perfect to describe Ogata at this time.

Naturally, Saemon will not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity of "Ogata showing his flaws".

With his left foot as the center, he transmits the power from the foot to the waist, and then from the waist to the arms holding the sword, and raises the big naginata high with the momentum as if he wants to chop Ogata into two neat halves. , and then slashed heavily towards Ogata from top to bottom.

The unstable posture made it too late for Ogata to use steps to dodge.

Therefore, Ogata gritted his teeth, folded the two knives in his hands to form a cross, lifted them up, and faced the naginata that was coming.

clang--!

Click!

The sound of metal colliding and the sound of blades shattering sounded almost simultaneously.

When Ogata used Wakizashi and Hitoshi to form the word "ten" to defend this time, he put Wakizashi on top of Hitoshi, mainly using Wakizashi to block the attacks of the left and right gates.

After Ogata's Wakizasa of the left and right Emon Naginata collided, Ogata's Wakizasa finally shattered due to the heavy load, leaving only a handle and a half-finger-long blade.

Ogata's reaction was also quick, seeing that the wakizasa was broken, he immediately threw it away.

The right hand continued to hold the unbroken naginata, while the left hand pressed the back of the naginata, exerting strength with both arms, trying to push back the pressed naginata.

squeak...

The two supermen, both of whom were far stronger than ordinary people, firmly planted their feet on the bridge deck, exerting force on that corner, and the wooden bridge under their feet groaned in pain.

Ogata didn't hold back anything, he had already tried his best, but...the blade of Saemon's naginata was still pressed down little by little, gradually approaching Ogata's neck.

Squeak...!

The moaning of the wooden bridge became a little louder.

The hole in Soemon's throat has been plugged with the cooperation of those red bloodshots.

The repair of the throat also allowed Saemon to finally be able to speak normally.

"My sneak attack just now had a big impact on you." Saimon said in a joking tone.

Ogata ignored Saemon's taunt, but gritted his teeth silently, and tried his best to prevent Saemon's naginata blade from approaching his neck.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Ogata also had to agree that what Saeemon said just now was true - the severe pain in his abdomen made it difficult for Ogata to exert almost 30% of his strength.

This bad influence made Ogata unable to compete with Sawaiemon in strength.

Ogata could only watch helplessly as the huge naginata blade got closer and closer to his left neck.

"As expected of Shura..." Soemon murmured, "Watching death getting closer and closer to him, he can still maintain such a calm expression..."

Although Saemon said this in an admiring tone, the movements of his hands showed no mercy.

Squeak!

The groaning of the wooden bridge increased further.

The big naginata continued to break through the barrier of the sword, and its height pressed down from the top of Ogata's head to... Ogata's right neck.

Under Saemon's full expectation, the blade of the naginata finally cut into the flesh of Ogata's right neck.

The skin of Ogata's right neck has been cut by the sharp naginata blade.

Ogata's current appearance is as if he is carrying Saemon's naginata on his right shoulder.

Saeemon's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

He knew—almost!

Just a little bit closer, he would be able to take Ogata's life and successfully complete the task Master Toyotomi entrusted to them.

This joy made Saeemon feel that his body strength has increased a bit.

Without hesitation, he poured some extra strength in his body into his arms, in order to take the life of Yoshiemon as soon as possible.

The left and right guards showed ecstasy.

As for Ogata—he was still quite composed.

Even at this time, he was defeated by Saemon's great power, even though Saemon's knife had already slashed to his right neck, and there was only one last kick left to take his life, Ogata still maintained his composure.

He did not give up the confrontation with the left and right gates, and was still calmly thinking about ways to break the situation and fight back.

The blade of the naginata has cut deeper and deeper.

More and more blood flowed out from the bigger and bigger wound on Ogata's right neck.

——Go to hell! Asura!

Left and right gate yelled excitedly and excitedly in his heart.

But at this moment——

Squeak! !

Click click click!

The wooden bridge's groans suddenly rose by an order of magnitude.

Immediately afterwards, the ear-piercing crackling sound exploded.

The wooden bridge at the foot of Ogata and Left and Right Mon was like a torn piece of paper, and it was broken into pieces, large or small.

This simple wooden bridge, after suffering two heavy slashes from Left and Right Gate just now, there are 2 more big holes on the bridge deck, these 2 big holes caused serious damage to the structure of the bridge.

Power starts from the ground is an invariable theorem in martial arts.

In order to outwit the opponent in the wrestling, both Ogata and Saeemon, all put their feet firmly on the bridge and stepped on the bridge.

That is to say——the bridge, which was already crumbling due to the destruction of its structure, finally shattered due to overwhelm after being trampled by Ogata and Yoshiemon with all their strength.

And the first place to shatter——was under Ogata's feet.

Putting all his body and mind into wrestling with the left and right gates, and Ogata, who was already in poor physical condition, was unexpected about the changes at his feet.

"Huh?"

Ogata let out a dull "Hey" sound, and then fell into the turbulent flow below along with the wooden bridge fragments under his feet.

When falling into the turbulent flow below, Ogata, who hadn't fully reacted, suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head - when falling into the turbulent flow, the back of Ogata's head accidentally knocked down the pier below ...

The bridge deck under Soemon's feet didn't shatter immediately, so he reacted in time.

Jumping back quickly, and jumping out of the bridge in one breath, he quickly scanned the river with his eyes, looking for the figure of Ogata who fell into the river along with the bridge fragments.

Ogata, who was still holding the sword tightly in his hand, drifted quickly downstream under the turbulent current.

Because of the turbulent water flow, Ogata disappeared in the blink of an eye...

Right now, Saemon's expression is... as if he had eaten a poop.

He stared at the direction where Ogata was being washed away, his face turned blue and white: "Damn... what's going on? It's almost... It's obvious that he almost took Shura's life... !"

"Master Zuo-Saemon..." The 10 shooters who were brought by Saemon surrounded them with different expressions.

These 10 all have a feeling of being overwhelmed right now...

They all saw it with their own eyes just now...Saemon, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly wrestled with Ogata alive and well.

This scene was so horrifying that these 10 people didn't even know what to say to Sawaiemon.

Finally, someone had the courage to ask Yoshiemon:

"Master Yoshiemon, the place where you were stabbed by Shura just now...are you alright?"

The early birds generally do not have a good end.

As soon as the courageous shooter finished speaking, Saemon shouted in a rude tone:

"If I have something to do, will I still stand like this?!"

"Don't stand here stupidly! Go outside and call all the people to chase Shura along this river! We must not let Shura have a chance to breathe!"

...

...

——Why did I fall into the water again? !

Ogata felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with water tonight.

He just climbed out of the river before, but fell back into the river not long after.

The river that Ogata fell into this time was not the gentle canal he swam just now, but an unusually fast stream.

The water is not only fast, but also deep.

Ogata poked his foot down, but couldn't reach the bottom.

He tried to stabilize his figure in the turbulent water, but ended in failure. The reason is all because of his dizzy head.

Just now when he fell into the river with the fragments of the wooden bridge, Ogata accidentally knocked his head on the bridge pier.

First, there was a burst of pain from the place where he was knocked, and then a sense of dizziness spread to Ogata's entire brain with the place where he was knocked as the center.

Although he tried to resist, the dizziness became more and more intense.

The strong dizziness made Ogata feel that the power in his body was being continuously sucked away.

——Now is not... the time to sleep...

After exhausting the last bit of strength, after whispering in his heart, Ogata's remaining consciousness was finally shattered by the dizziness.

Unable to resist his physical reaction, Ogata slowly closed his eyes uncontrollably.

The body floated straight downstream with the current.
