I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

When Toyotomi Nobuhide looked at the deck where Yoshihisa was no longer seen from the corner of his eye, another slash struck Toyotomi Nobuhide's head at a tricky angle.

"I can't even relax for a moment..." Toyotomi Nobuhide withdrew the corner of his eyes, made a wrong step, and dodged Genichi's attack.

"Hey, hey, Uncle." Toyotomi Nobuhide sneered lowly, "Your companions have fallen into the water. Don't you care at all?"

"I haven't seen you showing concern for your companion either." After replying to Toyotomi Nobuhide in a cold tone, Genichi slashed Toyotomi Nobuhide again.

Yuan Yi never took a look at the battlefield on Chuguang's side from the beginning to the end.

It's not that Yuan is indifferent to Chu Guang's life and death.

It was because facing the powerful opponent in front of him, he really couldn't spare any leeway to pay attention to other people's battles.

"Don't look at me like this. I was very worried when I saw Ji Jiu fall into the water. After all, if Ji Jiu is gone, I won't have much reliable combat power left."

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi Nobuhide took a deep breath, and held up the Yoshikogushi in his hand diagonally upwards.

Just looking at Toyotomi Nobuhide's posture, Genichi immediately recognized what trick he was planning to use.

——Yagyu Xinyinliu's categorical...

【Note·Sharpness is also the real sword skill of Yagyu Xinyinliu】

Yoshimitsu, who was held high, slashed at Genichi's right wrist from top to bottom.

Genichi didn't make a hard catch, nor did he use footwork to dodge, but just retracted his right arm to avoid Toyotomi Nobuhide's "cutting hand".

Ji Guanggushi slashed through the air in vain, and smashed towards the deck below.

But just as the tip of the sword was about to hit the deck, the blade suddenly stopped!

Relying on brute force and skill to forcibly stop the sword behind the sword that was about to hit the deck, Toyotomi Nobuhide turned the blade with lightning speed!

The blade that was originally facing the deck was adjusted to face the sky covered with dark clouds, and then the sword was raised!

The raised blade brushed towards Yuan Yi's chin!

Toyotomi Nobuhide's two combos can be described as swift.

It's a pity - as soon as Toyotomi Nobuhide put on his posture, he recognized Toyotomi Nobuhide as Genichi who planned to use some kind of move, and he had already predicted Toyotomi Nobuhide's attack.

He calmly jumped half a step backwards, and let Ji Guangshi only slash into the air in vain.

This time, Genichi was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack immediately.

After avoiding Toyotomi Nobuhide's "clear and decisive" shot, Genyi retreated 7 steps in one breath, greatly widening the distance between Toyotomi Nobuhide and Toyotomi Nobuhide.

Seeing that Genichi took the initiative to retreat, Toyotomi Nobuhide did not immediately launch a pursuit, but stood still.

Because he also wanted to take this opportunity to redraw the "battle plan".

——That idiot Yoshihisa is temporarily useless now.

——I can only defeat the "Sword Master" by myself...

——Sure enough, at the critical moment... I still have to rely on myself to do it myself...

When Toyotomi Nobuhide was sighing secretly in his heart, Genichi suddenly said to Toyotomi Nobuhide in a calm tone:

"...Shixian style, Wuwai style, Katori Shinto style, Yagyu Xinyin style...you know quite a few schools. It is really rare to be able to master so many schools of swordsmanship at such an age."

"Ha..." Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Although I have been a little bit slack in my swordsmanship training in recent years due to my busy schedule, I used to be a madman obsessed with swordsmanship."

"Hungry and eager to learn various schools of swordsmanship."

"Oh, only in this point, we are more like blood relatives."

"I've heard it from my grandfather before: Uncle, you are also a madman who is extremely obsessed with swordsmanship and eager to learn various schools."

Having said that, Toyotomi Nobuhide held Yoshimitsu Bone Food in one hand, casually twisted the blade, and shook off the thick layer of rainwater accumulated on the blade.

"But then again--that's odd. I heard Grandpa say,

You are obviously proficient in countless schools of swordsmanship. "

"But since we started fighting with you, I haven't seen you use all kinds of sword skills."

Toyotomi Nobuhide put on a mocking tone.

"Could it be that you are too old and your memory has deteriorated, causing you to forget most of the sword skills of the school?"

After hearing Toyotomi Nobuhide's words, Genichi's face slowly... a smile that he had rarely seen since the war with Toyotomi Nobuhide.

It's not a laugh at others or self-deprecating.

It was a smile as if hearing some funny joke.

"...It seems that your level of swordsmanship still needs to be improved. The swordsmanship of various schools...haven't I used it long ago?"

After all, Genichi took a deep breath, and then leaped forward without a run-up, using gravity to chop off the knife in both hands, and once again took the initiative to attack Toyotomi Nobuhide.

What Genichi said just now... Toyotomi Nobuhide was completely puzzled.

Facing Genichi who attacked again, Toyotomi Nobuhide had no time to think about the meaning of what Genichi said just now.

The sound of metal clashing, and the sound of feet sliding on the deck,

Physical function... There is no doubt that Toyotomi Nobuhide, who is now in his prime and possesses the "power of immortality", has the absolute advantage.

But——Genichi has exquisite sword skills that can greatly make up for this gap, as well as combat experience so rich that Toyotomi Nobuhide can immediately predict what moves he will make as soon as he takes a stance!

Strength vs ingenuity, one force to drop ten times vs four to two to pull a thousand catties - these words are perfect to describe the battle between the two.

Every blow of Toyotomi Nobuhide reveals an aura of "barbaric" and "violent".

It's like a bear is waving his palms, tearing everything that the palms touch to pieces.

And Genichi, who relied on his skills and combat experience to fight Toyotomi Nobuhide... looked like a dancer with a graceful posture.

Every defense, every dodge, and every counterattack of Yuan Yi carried a unique sense of beauty.

Just now we worked together with Yoshihisa to deal with Genichi, Toyotomi Nobuhide was still able to suppress Genichi.

And now—without Ji Jiu's side assistance, he could only challenge Yuan Yi one-on-one, and his face no longer showed composure.

laugh!

Toyotomi Nobuhide felt a tingling pain from the tip of his nose—Genichi managed to mislead Toyotomi Nobuhide's defense direction just now by virtue of his subtle fake movements, resulting in a sword in the face, but fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to catch him in time. The head was thrown back so that only the tip of the nose was chopped off.

Although it didn't cause much damage to Toyotomi Nobuhide, this blow is also of great significance-because this is the first time that Toyotomi Nobuhide has been injured since the fight between the old and the young.

The pain at the tip of the nose was only fleeting - because the moment the tip of the nose was cut, countless red shreds of meat emerged from the wound, "stitching" the wound.

Looking at Toyotomi Nobuhide's restored nose, Genichi couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly: "The recovery speed is really fast..."

After muttering like this, Genichi quickly regained his posture, and then slashed again.

The two attacked each other a few times again, and Toyotomi Nobuhide got another wound on his body—this time the wound was on his chest.

There was a big gash in his chest—but the wound wasn't bad, it was an exchange of injuries.

At the same time that Genichi was stabbed in the chest, Toyotomi Nobuhide immediately launched a counterattack, and made a cut on Genichi's left shoulder, but the cut was not deep.

The two attacked, defended, and were injured...

Although relying on his skills and combat experience, Genichi barely fought Toyotomi Nobuhide evenly, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the upper hand...

Every wound that Genichi cut on Toyotomi Nobuhide's body can heal quickly.

And every wound that Toyotomi Nobuhide cut on Genichi's body...will only bleed, and will only bring heavier and heavier burdens to Genichi's body...

But even so, Yuan Yi didn't back down in any way.

He stared at his eyes like torches, and without flinching, he launched a fearless attack on Toyotomi Nobuhide that made him feel that his life was in danger several times.

After the two exchanged offense and defense for a few more rounds, Genichi suddenly cut the Yang Shen in his right hand into an upper stance, and slashed at Toyotomi Nobuhide's head obliquely.

If he raised his sword to defend, he might be attacked by Yan Rong, who was in Genichi's left hand, so Toyotomi Nobuhide chose to retreat and dodge.

Retreating, Yangshen swiped past his nose, and smashed to the deck below——this scene was in line with Toyotomi Nobuhide's expectations.

But at this moment——

call!

Genichi suddenly stopped the falling blade, then pointed the tip of Yangshen's knife at Toyotomi Nobuhide's throat, and then pushed Yangshen forward like a white rainbow penetrating the sun.

Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes twitched.

Genichi's blow just now... Toyotomi Nobuhide felt a very strong sense of familiarity...

He feels that this move is a bit like Yagyu Xinyinliu's categorical and decisive...but there are many differences.

It's too late to think about it - the tip of Yangshen's sword has come.

He moved half a step sideways, moving to a place where the Yang God could not stab, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of a blade approaching came from his side——Yan Rong struck from a place where his eyes could not see clearly!

Nobuhide Toyotomi, whose eyes twitched again, quickly jumped back.

His dodge this time...was a little forced.

Although he escaped the fatal injury, Yan Rong's blade still cut from the corner of his right mouth to the corner of his left eye, drawing a big crack on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face.

"Well……!"

Toyotomi Nobuhide let out a low cry of pain, covered his cheeks that were instantly covered with blood with his left hand, and took a continuous step back.

While retreating, in order to prevent Genichi from chasing him, Toyotomi Nobuhide swung his knife in the direction of Genichi and slashed heavily, forcing Genichi to retreat 3 steps.

"Huh...hahahahaha..." Nobuhide Toyotomi retreated more than ten steps in one breath, covered his blood-stained face, and let out a sinister low laugh, "It's amazing...it's really amazing."

"This is the first time I've had an inseparable fight with someone after I obtained the 'power of immortality'..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide lowered his left hand which was covering his face.

On his face... there were no more scars, only the blood that covered most of his face.

Genichi didn't rush over to chase Toyotomi Nobuhide and beat him hard now.

The series of fast breaks just now made his breathing a little messy.

Toyotomi Nobuhide is not calling now, and Nagenichi is willing to take this opportunity to adjust his breathing rhythm and regain his posture.

"If time permits... I really want to have a good fight with you, to see if you and I are stronger or weaker."

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand, wiping the blood off his face without haste.

"But it's a pity - I don't have the leisure to continue to compete with you here slowly."

An intriguing smile... emerged from the corner of Toyotomi Nobuhide's mouth at this moment.

Looking at the smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face, for some reason... a chill came from Genichi's heart...

Minamoto has no way of knowing what Toyotomi Nobuhide wants.

All he knew was that he got close to Toyotomi Nobuhide, that's right!

The original messy breathing rhythm has been adjusted.

Genichi clenched his swords tightly, and rushed towards Nobuhide Toyotomi like a sharp arrow.

Facing Genichi who was killing him again—Toyotomi Nobuhide no longer put Yoshimitsu in front of him.

He only smiled silently, then put his left hand into his bosom, and suddenly pulled out a small hand crossbow.

This hand crossbow is no bigger than a palm, but because of special modification, it can shoot 4 arrows in one breath.

He didn't aim the crossbow at Genichi.

Instead, he pointed the hand crossbow at Lin, who was still unconscious and was leaning on the mainmast not far away, protected by Toyotomi Nobuhide's subordinates!

Yuan Yi's pupils shrank suddenly at this moment.

Toyotomi Nobuhide has been watching Genichi's expression since just now.

Seeing Genichi's expression at this moment, Toyotomi Nobuhide showed... a smile of pure joy like a child.

Click!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Toyotomi Nobuhide pulled the trigger.

4 arrows scrambled to bite Lin!

The situation was so urgent that Yuan Yi didn't even have room to change his expression—he didn't hesitate, and ran desperately in the direction the four arrows were flying.

As he ran desperately, he narrowly missed the arrows before they hit Lin, and intercepted them in front of the four arrows.

As soon as he rushed over, before he even had time to adjust his posture, he immediately launched a defense to intercept the incoming arrows - this was extremely reluctant for Yuan Yi.

But even if it is reluctant, I can only grit my teeth——

clang! clang! clang! clang!

Yuan Yi swung his two knives, and the flickering light of the knives formed a thick "barrier", barely deflecting all the four arrows.

However, after flicking these 4 crossbow bolts...

hiss--!

Ji Guanggushi's blade cut through the air and rain, and smashed towards Yuan Yi's forehead!

Yuan Yi had just swung his knife with great reluctance to bounce the crossbow arrows away, and he hadn't had time to adjust his posture, to dodge or defend...

Scoff!

The sound of the blade cutting through the flesh exploded...

"Oh...?" Toyotomi Nobuhide blinked his eyes twice, watching with interest Genichi who was retreating quickly and keeping the distance from him, "When my knife was about to hit my head, I tried my best I blocked it with all my strength, did it cause the path of the knife to be deflected..."

Yuanyi retreated to the railing close to the ship's side in one breath, and stopped after retreating.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Yi vomited out a handful of blood...

Although he wanted to keep his body upright forever, the pain from the wound caused Genichi's left leg to bend uncontrollably, and he knelt down on the deck with one knee.

The appearance of Yuan Yi at this time... can be described as extremely frightening.

A huge knife wound ran from the left shoulder to the lower right rib.

Holding the Yangshen tightly in his right hand, leaning on the Yangshen on the deck, he tried his best to prop up his body and prevent his body from falling down.

Still holding Yan Rong's left hand, clutching his chest tightly, trying to stop the flow of blood.

But how could Yuanyi's hand block such a big wound?

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, and within a blink of an eye, half of Yuan Yi's clothes were dyed red, turning Yuan Yi into a blood man...

"This hand crossbow bought from Tang Tuna is really easy to use." After saying this in a joking tone, Toyotomi Nobuhide stuffed the hand crossbow that had been emptied into his arms, "Although it can't be directly Kill you, but if you can be seriously injured, I am satisfied."

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his left hand and compared it to his chest.

"I advise you to stay still."

he said in a mocking tone.

"The body was cut from the left shoulder to the right rib. If the body is moved, the internal organs may flow out along the wound, adding unnecessary pain."

Facing this "reminder" from Toyotomi Nobuhide——Genichi ignored it.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lin who was still unconscious.

After confirming that he had successfully flicked all the arrows away and that Lin was not injured, he was finally relieved.

Toyotomi Nobuhide noticed Genichi's small movements of observing Lin just now.

"Do you know why I brought Xiao Lin to the open deck?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide's tone was still full of sarcasm.

"It's not just because the current situation is special, I want to bring Xiaolin where my eyes can see."

"It's also because——I think bringing Xiaolin by my side might turn Xiaolin into a 'special weapon' that can effectively deal with you."

"I was just betting just now."

"I bet you won't just sit back and watch Xiaolin get shot like a hedgehog."

"If conditions permit, I actually don't really want to use this trick. After all, I don't like gambling very much."

"Fortunately—I bet right."

"You... are really... crazy...!"

Even though it is quite difficult to even say a word now, Genichi still stubbornly cast a gaze reminiscent of a blade at the lunatic in front of him.

"Xiaolin's life...in your eyes...is it really nothing...?!"

"Hmm... not really." Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled, "I still attach great importance to Xiaolin's life - if Xiaolin dies, then my "Edo Battle" will not be perfect."

After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide walked towards Genichi unhurriedly, carrying his Yoshimitsu bones that had not been washed by the rain to wash off the blood and fat stained on the blade.

"Okay, let's stop the gossip."

"Please hurry up and get on your way, Uncle."

"If you can force me, who possesses the 'power of immortality', to the point where I won't hesitate to resort to tricks for a quick victory, you are worthy of the title of 'Sword Master'."

At this time, there was no sarcasm in Toyotomi Nobuhide's tone.

In his tone, there was only a slight sigh.

"It's a pity that I wasn't born in the same era as you..."

"Although you are an enemy, I can also be considered a swordsman, and I really want to see it -- how terrifying is your strength when you are the strongest."
