I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Crash la la la...

The sound of weeds being kicked and trampled on the ground can be heard endlessly.

Isshiki saw countless musketeers holding strange-looking muskets appear from all directions in front of her, and then approached her and Ogata.

They half-surrounded her and Ogata in an arc formation, and when they approached only 7 or 8 steps away from the two, the musketeers stopped.

This was the first time since Isshiki was born that she was surrounded by so many people, and was stared at by so many people with ferocious eyes like looking at prey.

Bright guns, uniform movements, and the desperate difference in numbers... The sense of oppression brought by these musketeers to Isshika is far better than the group of pirates she and Ogata had dealt with before.

In terms of pressure, the gap between that group of pirates and the group of musketeers in front of them is like the gap between a small hill and Mount Fuji.

——So many iron cannons... If you can't even take a step, you will be smashed into a sieve...

Isshiki couldn't help but think so in her heart.

Isshika, who was still thinking "If you fight hard, maybe you can drag a few more people to hell", is completely desperate now.

Fear -- the most primitive emotion of human beings, is like a hungry tiger out of the cage at this time, defeating all the psychological defenses of Yishihua with the force of wind and clouds.

Lips are pale. .

Cold hands and feet.

The skin seemed to have an electric current flowing through it all the time, and goose bumps appeared frequently.

The heart that was already beating extremely fast, now it was beating even more as if it was about to jump out of Isshika's throat in the next moment.

His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and Wakizashi in Isshiki's right hand was now like a live fish just fished out of the sea, constantly "jumping", trying to break free from Isshiki's grasp.

However, even though the "live fish" was not weak in breaking free, Isshika still held the wakizashi tightly in her hand.

poof...

At this time, Yishihua heard the sound of something falling to the ground behind her.

She hurriedly looked behind her - Ogata fell face down on the ground.

"Master Yi Dao Zhai!"

Isshika, who let out a low exclamation, quickly turned around and ran back to Ogata's side, helping Ogata up.

Ogata, who was able to talk to her normally just now, now his eyes are closed, his breathing is weak, and he looks fainted.

Isshiki shook Ogata's body vigorously a few times, but failed to restore Ogata's consciousness.

Just when Isshiki was at a loss——

Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom...

The sound of heavy footsteps like an elephant walking drew Isshiki's attention uncontrollably.

Although the owner of this string of footsteps is not an elephant, it is almost the same as an elephant-a burly "giant" with a height of 2 meters.

Holding a large naginata, he swaggered out of the darkness and walked towards Isshiki and the fainting Ogata. The musketeers in front of him all obediently made way for this "giant".

This "giant" is naturally Saeemon.

Left and right guards walked to the middle of the musket formation, and then stopped.

Seeing Ogata, who was being hugged by Isshika and seemed to be in a coma, Saemon was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, and the look of complacency in his brows and eyes became more intense.

"It went well!"

"Not only did I successfully find Ogata Isai, but Ogata Isai just happened to be in a coma!"

"God helped me wait!"

Left and right gate didn't know why Ogata, who was able to maim so many of their musketeer troops not long ago, suddenly fainted now, and he didn't want to find out why.

After shouting a few times in such excitement, Saeemon turned his gaze to Isshika who was holding Ogata in his arms.

"who are you?"

"Could you be Ogata Isai's wife, right? According to what I know, Ogata Isai has a beautiful and plump wife,

Your appearance matches perfectly. "

Isshiki ignored Saemon's mocking question just now.

She inserted the wakizashi in her hand into the mud next to her, then silently and softly put Ogata in her arms back on the ground, and pulled out and took away the sword from Ogata's waist.

After slowly getting up from the ground, she held Ogata's sword tightly with both hands, and pointed the sharp blade at the left and right gates in the distance.

"I...I won't let you hurt him!"

Although Yishihua's voice trembled a little due to the influence of fear, her tone did not change at all due to fear—every word exuded a rock-like strong aura.

"Hey..." Yoshiemon raised his eyebrows and grinned, "It's really rare, your hands are shaking like this, and you can still hold the knife steadily."

"Looking at the way you risk your life to save others, you should be Ogata Issai's wife."

"Since you are Ogata Issai's wife, it's just right - I will send you both to hell together, so that you will not be alone in hell!"

The left and right guards waved their hands.

"Array!"

As soon as the order was issued, the musketeers immediately moved professionally and neatly to form a gun formation.

Yoshiemon is the kind of person who uses as safe a tactic as possible unless he is forced to do so.

At present, there is no need for him to personally raid the formation, so he is also happy to just stay in the rear of the spear formation so ostentatiously, and let the musketeers send Ogata to hell.

At this moment, this small forest is showing all kinds of scenes in the world.

Saemon smiled triumphantly there.

The rest of the commanders, seeing that the task of suppressing Ogata Ittosai was finally about to be completed, also showed relief.

The musketeers are forming a gun array, ready to shoot Ogata and Isshika together into a hornet's nest.

Everyone here basically has a relieved expression on their faces, or they are smiling.

Only Yishihua has a determined face.

She clenched the knife in her hand and closed her eyes.

Opening her lips slightly, after reciting "Namo Amitabha" in a low voice, she prayed to the gods and Buddhas in her heart in an extremely humble tone:

——Buddha! Bodhisattva! I am willing to endure any ordeal, please bless my family, and Master Yidaozhai, they are safe!

After praying, Isshiki opened her eyes.

The musketeers in front of them had already lined up in neat rows.

They only need a password from the left and right gates to level the gun, and then turn the beautiful rose of Isshiki into a blood rose.

— Just let the horse come here!

Isshiki suddenly changed her knife-holding stance to a lower stance that was more conducive to running.

She was about to rush forward to the large array of muskets.

She knew that what she did was just useless, and she might be shot to death just after taking a step or two.

But she chose to do it anyway.

She persistently chose to face death as the daughter of a samurai family and protect Ogata.

--bring it on!

Isshiki, who still had some tears in her eyes, slammed her hind foot on the ground——

...

...

"...Miss Isshiki, sorry for making you face so many enemies alone for so long."

...

...

In the woods, which was originally filled with the joy of "mission accomplished", the atmosphere suddenly changed suddenly.

Saemon, who had been smiling smugly just now, froze the smile on his face.

The expressions of those commanders who thought the mission was finally coming to an end all changed drastically.

The musketeers, who were ready to give orders at any time, also showed various expressions at this time. Among their expressions, the emotion that accounted for the most was panic...

All these changes, just because—a certain man stood up.

When the words of apology uttered in a soft voice came to her ears, Yishihua's expression immediately froze.

Before she had time to turn her head and look back, she saw a familiar big hand sticking out from her side, grabbing the pair of knives she was holding.

"Master Yi Dao Zhai..."

Isshiki looked at Ogata who was standing beside her with an expression that wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

"It's all right." Ogata smiled and said softly to her, "The rest—leave it to me."

After all, he took the sword in Isshika's hand with a gentle movement, and stood in front of Isshika with the posture of holding the knife with one arm in his right hand.

"...Ogata Ittosai, you have woken up." Saimon's face was extremely gloomy at this time, "But even if you wake up now, it is already too late, you are already surrounded by us!"

The sudden words of Yoshiemon made Isshika quickly calm down her emotion of being extremely happy to see Ogata wake up, and Isshika came back to her senses.

Emotions such as panic and fear climbed onto Isshiki's cheeks again.

Because she was shocked—even if Ogata woke up, it seemed that the current desperate situation would not change.

Ogata, who just woke up, must still be in poor physical condition.

And even Ogata, who is in full bloom, must be no match for so many musketeers...

Isshika couldn't help casting a worried look at Ogata in front of her: "Master Yidao Zhai..."

The mood also calmed down, and Saeemon.

What he's thinking right now is similar to Isshika - so what if Ogata Yidaosai wakes up! Ogata Yidaosai, who has just recovered from a coma, is in good physical condition?

Saemon, who had regained his composure, had a smug look on his face again.

"Ogata Yidaosai! What a pity, if you were beaten to death in a coma, the pain might be slightly lessened!"

"Then you should tell your subordinates to shoot quickly." As soon as Sawaimon's sarcasm with a strong color of complacency fell, Ogata responded in a calm tone, "Look at your subordinates' guns. , is there a way to take my life?"

Ogata's words were like a fuse that ignited a gunpowder barrel, making Saemon's expression darken again in an instant.

"Okay! Then I will do as you wish!"

I saw him raising his big hand high——

"Raise the gun!"

Click, click, click...

Countless muskets were immediately stabilized and aimed at Ogata and Isshiki.

Seeing Isshiki with so many bullet holes for the first time, her face turned paler from shock.

On the other hand, Ogata - Facing the black eyes of the gun in front of him, Ogata's expression was calm from beginning to end.

It seems that these muskets that are aiming at themselves are not advanced flintlock guns, but toy water guns.

He quietly put the knife away.

A ray of night wind blows at this moment.

The night breeze slightly opened Ogata's skirt, revealing a piece of dark purple skin the size of a fingernail on Ogata's left neck.

At this moment, only this ray of night breeze has seen this strange scene - this piece of purple skin as big as a fingernail is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end—it disappeared completely.

"Fire!" The left and right guards slammed down their raised hands.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom……

"Hmm..." Isshiki, who thought she was about to be covered in bullet holes, closed her eyes subconsciously, and was about to let out a cry of pain.

As a result - she had just uttered a syllable, and her cry of pain turned into a cry of exclamation.

"Ah ah--!"

Isshiki looked at Ogata who was "flying" up with her in his astonishment.

At the same moment when Soemon shouted "Fire", Ogata turned around abruptly, holding Isshika in his arms in a strange posture - he held Isshika's plump body with the crook of his left arm Ass, let Isshika sit on the bend of his left arm facing his right side, and her left palm tightly hugs Isshika's sensual left thigh, just hugging Isshika in her arms.

The moment he embraced Isshiki in his arms, Ogata jumped forward and jumped towards a big tree next to him.

The bullets fired by the musketeers were just dodged by the jumping Ogata!

Whether it's the speed of holding Isshika into his arms, or the speed of jumping up, it's so fast that Yoshiemon and the others all opened their mouths, as if their jaws were about to fall to the ground at any time.

The big tree that Ogata jumped onto happened to be guarded by a famous Iga ninja.

Seeing Ogata appearing not far from him, the expression of this Iga ninja changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to stay away, but before he even had time to move his feet, he saw Ogata using an instant With a moving speed, it moved in front of him and chopped him off the tree.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

The commanders headed by Yoshiemon hurriedly ordered the musketeers under his command to chase after Ogata and shoot.

And their round of shooting failed again.

After killing the ninja, Ogata didn't stop, and immediately moved towards the next tree with Isshiki in his arms.

And so——the scene that made Sawaiemon and the others dumbfounded again, and at the same time made Isshiki, who is now being held in Ogata's arms, dumbfounded, reappeared.

They saw Ogata kick hard on the branch he was standing on.

Click!

The branch was unable to withstand the strong force, and cracks appeared like spider silk.

Ogata, who jumped up with the strength to crack the branches, jumped to a big tree 13 meters away at an extremely fast speed like a fired shell!

"Ahhhhh—!"

Isshiki, who had experienced what a roller coaster was like more than a hundred years before the world, screamed, her arms subconsciously wrapped around Ogata's neck to prevent herself from being thrown off.

13 meters, this is a distance that is impossible to leap no matter how you think about it.

However——Ogata at this moment turned this impossibility into possibility.

boom!

Ogata landed steadily on a thick and long trunk of the big tree 13 meters away.

Isshiki looked in shock at the starting point where Ogata was holding her just now, and then looked at Ogata who was so close to her.

"Is this... a Buddha or Bodhisattva manifested?" Yisehua said in a daze.

"I don't know whether Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have appeared or descended to the mortal world." Ogata smiled slightly at Isshika, "But I have always been by your side."

At this time, a series of system sounds sounded in Ogata's mind:

【Ding! The physical fitness of the host has been counted! 】,

[Current strength value: difficult to measure]

[Current agility value: difficult to measure]

[Current reflex nerve value: difficult to measure]

[Current physical strength: difficult to measure]

[Current vitality: cannot be calculated]

The words "difficult to measure" one after another made Ogata's head ache a little from the noise.

He also has no time to deal with the system sound in his mind and to study the new changes in his body.

"Quick! Chase! Don't let him run away! Don't let him run away!"

Ogata heard Yoshiemon's angry roar, and the chaotic footsteps of the musketeers as they charged toward him and Isshiki with guns.

Ogata, who was standing on the branch, moved his eyes and quickly confirmed the positions of the commanders who were giving orders, headed by Yoshiemon.

"...Miss Isshiki. It may be a little bumpy later. Remember to hold on to me and don't talk, so as not to bite your tongue."

"Ah, good, good."

Isshika's thinking ability could hardly keep up with the series of things she experienced since just now, and after she said yes blankly, she wrapped her arms firmly around Ogata's neck.

"...Don't straighten your waist." Ogata moved his eyes to his right side slightly in embarrassment, "My sight is blocked..."

"Hug, I'm sorry..." Isshika, with a little red cloud on her face, silently arched her back.

Isshiki is the kind of tall girl.

She sits behind the bend of Ogata's left arm facing Ogata's right side. When she straightens her waist, her pair of plentiful fruits will be exactly at the same height as Ogata's eyes.

The sight of Ogata's entire left eye will be completely blocked by a semicircular object...

After confirming that Isshiki was hanging on him properly and that his sight was not blocked, Ogata jumped again——

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom……

The continuous gunshots filled the woods, which had been quiet in the past, with the smell of gunpowder.

The musketeers chased and fired.

Their pursuit could not be described as violent.

Their firepower is not insignificant.

But they just couldn't beat Ogata.

Ogata shuttled around like a gust of wind.

Sometimes it jumps up a tree, and sometimes it jumps back to the ground.

The musketeers chased after his figure and fired, but only hit the afterimage he left behind.

"That guy...what the hell did...what the hell did...?!"

The transition between great joy and great sorrow is often only in a split second—Saemon explained the meaning of this sentence profoundly at this time.

He, who was still complacent just now, now with an inexplicably terrified expression and somewhat terrified eyes in astonishment, watched him dodge the bullets they fired with agile movements like a cheetah.

"This guy... why did he suddenly become so strong?"

Yoshiemon felt his heart sinking into his stomach.

Almost all the commanders and all the musketeers now have exactly the same expressions as the left and right gates.

And when Yoshiemon's head was still in chaos due to the overly strong sense of fear and shock——

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Saemon heard the scream of one of his subordinates.

Ogata, who had been dodging just now, suddenly changed his offensive and jumped from a tree into a certain spear formation.

He split the head of some poor musketeer in two directly by gravity.

Ogata's counterattack officially began.
