(From now on, you are my closed disciple. Even though you are my closed disciple, you must not expect you to have any special status in Iga no Sato.)

...

(Master Jijiu, I heard that you recently adopted Chuguang as your god-granddaughter. Is this true?)

(Nonsense! Who spread these rumors? Chuguang is just a girl with great potential. I saw her potential and accepted her as a closed disciple. My relationship with her is nothing more than that.)

...

(Don't call me 'Master Ji', it's disgusting and disgusting. If you want to use this kind of intimate name to establish a relationship with me, then I advise you to stop thinking about these crooked ways! Have you been caught by some recent gossip? Misled? Hmph! Don’t think that I’m gentler with you, you really think I regard you as my own granddaughter!)

...

(Your water skills are really bad! As a ninja, how can you not know how to swim! Stay in this lake and practice! When can you swim from here to the other side of the lake, and when will you come up again!)

...

(Master Yoshihisa! No good! Chuguang drowned while practicing diving!)

(What?! Did you save Chuguang?!)

(I have already sent people to jump into the lake to catch people! But I can’t find a place for Chuguang... Ah! Master Jijiu! What are you doing? The lake is very cold now! Please come up quickly!)

...

(Cough cough! Cough cough! Hey! Chuguang! Wake up! Wake up!)

...

What happens in your mind after you die?

Maybe everyone will think of something different.

For Jijiu... when Hatsumitsu's Wakizawa fell, what flashed through his mind were all the fragments of memory that made him not know what expression to face...

"...Over the years, I have worked hard to take care of you."

Hearing Chuguang's words, the corners of Jijiu's mouth slowly pulled down.

There was a look... I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

...

...

Ji Jiu's head, which was cut off by Chuguang, rolled forward for several steps before slowly stopping.

Handfuls of still steaming blood flowed out from Yoshihisa's head and severed head, staining the feet of A-Ming and the others with a pink liquid mixed with rainwater.

Ji Jiu, who had been decapitated, did not move again, nor did he grow any shreds of meat to repair the severed head.

Looking at Yoshihisa who was finally dead, Acho, Asai and others all showed expressions of relief—at this time, only Hatsumitsu had a complicated expression.

She lowered her eyes, quietly looked at Ji Jiu who was decapitated for a moment, then took off her coat silently, and covered Ji Jiu's body.

"Miss Chuguang." A-Ming, who was beaten all over by Yoshihisa, felt sore and tired now, but she still cheered up and wanted to follow Ogata and the others to chase the second ship, but for some reason she stopped Back on the shore, Chuguang asked the question she wanted to know the most:

"Ayi... What's going on with Ogata and the others? How's the battle going?"

"What's the battle situation..." Hearing the question from A-Machi, Chuguang frowned slightly, "How should I put it... before I fell into a coma, Ogata..."

Her words had just been spoken—

Rumble——! !

On the distant sea, a strong explosion suddenly broke out, interrupting Chu Guang's words abruptly.

The sudden explosion caused everyone on the shore to change their expressions drastically.

They quickly turned their heads following the sound - a flaming fireball suddenly appeared on the sea near the skyline.

A-machi, who had the most outstanding eyesight among the people present, immediately saw that this "fireball" was not something else, but the Hikimaru that was burning right now.

The fire on the Rihui Maru was extremely intense.

Even though they were separated by an extremely long distance, the faces of A-Machi and the others who were slightly pale turned red.

...

...

The time went back not long ago, when Toyotomi just learned that Lin had escaped from the room and was about to go to capture her——

Nikki Maru, on the open deck——

"...Master. Do you feel better now?" Toyotomi asked Master Xianyuan, who was leaning half on the railing of the ship, who had been vomiting because of seasickness just now.

"Hmm... I'm getting used to the shaking of the deck now." Master Xianyuan, whose face has recovered a lot compared to before, nodded, "So it's much more comfortable now."

"That's it... that's good." Toyotomi nodded, and after a short pause, he continued to say to Master Xianyuan in a deep voice, "Master, I now... have a possibility that only you can do The task is given to you."

"Lord Toyotomi, please speak." Hearing Toyotomi's serious tone, Master Xianyuan straightened his expression immediately.

"Ogata Yidaosai and my uncle, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp." Toyotomi said in a leisurely tone, "Even if we have a chance to defeat them respectively, it may not guarantee that we can win .”

"So——I decided...to add an insurance."

Toyotomi's tone and tone gradually became weird.

"Most of our Rihui Maru's firearms and ammunition are stored in the No. A ammunition depot located in the middle of the cabin."

"If all the gunpowder stored in the No. A ammunition depot is detonated... and most of the Rihui pills are blown into the sky, it will not be a problem at all."

"Therefore, I hope that you will be in charge of lurking in the No. A ammunition depot. After receiving the signal, you will ignite the gunpowder in the No. A ammunition depot."

As soon as Feng Chen's words fell, Master Xianyuan's expression changed slightly.

Toyotomi noticed the change in Master Xianyuan's expression, but he turned a blind eye to it, and continued:

"The insurance I ordered is quite simple."

"When I was at a disadvantage in the battle with Ogata Isai, Kinoshita Genichi and the others, and I was about to lose, I tried to lure them to the open deck of Nichimaru."

"At that time, I will definitely be in a fierce battle with Ogata Isai, Kinoshita Genichi and the others, and I may not be able to free up a hand to signal you slowly."

"So I'm going to find another person to help me signal."

"The signal is the sound of our special 'tube-shaped fireworks' made by Toyotomi. The sound emitted by our 'tube-shaped fireworks' is very special, and you must hear it right."

"After receiving the signal, you will detonate the No. A ammunition depot."

"If you're lucky... you can turn defeat into victory in one breath, blowing Ogata Isai, Kinoshita Genichi and the others into the air."

Toyotomi's voice was very flat, and he told Master Xianyuan in a very calm tone the plan that made him break out in cold sweat.

"...Master Toyotomi." Master Xianyuan glanced around with vigilant eyes, "If your plan is implemented...I'm afraid that most of the people on the ship...will die without a place to die... ..."

"Also, what you said about blowing Ogata Isai and Kinoshita Genichi away...is just something that can happen with good luck."

"Maybe... Ogata Itosai and Kinoshita Genichi were not killed, but you were blown away..."

"Master." Toyotomi smiled slightly at Master Xianyuan, "Of course this plan of mine will only be carried out when I have been completely suppressed by Ogata Yidaosai and the others, and I am about to lose."

"Since we are going to lose anyway, why not take a gamble to see who can survive the explosion?"

"As for the people who are more than half of the ship you said..."

The smile on Toyotomi's face... a bit of madness slowly emerged.

"If I die by the sword of Ogata Yidaosai and the others... then what do you want the people on this ship to do?"

Having said that, Toyotomi changed the subject and raised his hand to pat Master Xianyuan on the shoulder.

"Master, this task... I don't need to go into details, you also know what will happen to you after you ignite the ammunition depot, right?"

"To be honest—I don't really want to entrust this task to you."

"But I can only entrust this task to the person I trust the most."

"Can... please?"

Toyotomi didn't talk too much about the truth or interests with Master Xianyuan.

Because he knew - there was no need to talk too much with this old subordinate who had followed him for many years.

Just a "please?" is enough.

"...I see." Master Xianyuan was silent for a moment, then showed a faint smile, "Leave it to me, please."

Master Xianyuan did not make any impassioned declarations with Toyotomi.

Just said lightly, "Leave it to me, please."

"Master Toyotomi, according to what you just said - you plan to find someone to signal for you, who are you going to call?"

"Ah, this one. I've already decided on a candidate." Toyotomi smiled slightly, "I've found someone... who I trust very much, and at the same time has great enthusiasm for killing Ogata Ittosai."

As soon as Toyotomi finished speaking——

"Lord Toyotomi!"

A young male voice sounded from behind Toyotomi—it was Bannya who received a precious sword from Toyotomi just today for his meritorious service in "finding Ogata in Osaka".

Banruo held Lin's Yan Mo and Zhen Guishen, and quickly ran to Toyotomi's side.

"Master Toyotomi, I have brought these two knives from the warehouse according to your order!"

...

...

Back in time to the present——

Hannya, who was sitting on the watchtower of the main mast of the Nikki Maru with a golden knife, has been staring at all the actions of Toyotomi on the open deck.

After seeing Toyotomi take the initiative to raise his left hand to take Ogata's thrust, he raised his left palm with a big hole in it.

Seeing Toyotomi's action, Hannya's eyebrows twitched immediately.

(Hanna, listen carefully, the signal is the "pierced left palm". After seeing me raise the pierced left palm high, you will set off the "tube-shaped fireworks")

"Lord Toyotomi..."

Prajna took a deep breath.

"I wish you... the prosperity of your martial arts!"

laugh--! !

Hannya raised the wooden barrel that she had been holding and playing with just now, and pulled the lead wire towards the sky.

...

...

laugh--! !

Inside the No. A ammunition depot, listening to the sharp sound of fireworks breaking through the air, Master Xianyuan pursed his lips.

"Still...do you want to use this plan..."

After listening to Master Xianyuan muttering in a low voice, he pushed away the lid of a huge gunpowder barrel next to him, and picked up...an oil lamp next to him.

Just as he was about to throw the oil lamp into the gunpowder barrel... Master Xianyuan squinted at Kikutaro lying at his feet, whose body was still warm.

"...As long as there is a slight possibility of the lofty ideal of 'Dharma spread widely', I am willing to die for this ideal."

He recited in a low voice the sentence he had just said to Kikutaro.

Then let go of the oil lamp in his hand...

...

...

...

...

"Well……"

Ogata felt like he had had a long and difficult nightmare.

Consciousness is chaotic, there seems to be a strange cracking sound in the mind, and even the existence of self is vague.

Ogata felt like gravity had disappeared.

He felt as if he was floating in a place without gravity, and the images and sounds of the world around him were all distorted.

The only thing I can clearly feel at the moment... is the sound of my heartbeat and breathing.

The only clear sound of heartbeat and breathing was deafening in my mind.

Instinctively matching the sound of his heartbeat and breathing, he tried his best to lift his heavy eyelids.

As the eyelids gradually opened, the light leaked into Ogata's eyelids.

As the eyelids gradually opened, Ogata also felt that all his senses were returning to his body.

The first to return to the body is the sense of touch.

The cold raindrops slapped Ogata's face and all the exposed skin. The cold touch made Ogata, whose consciousness was still blurred, feel much more comfortable.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the thick dark clouds that separated the sky from the earth, as well as the majestic rain...

——I am... lying on... the ground...?

The second sense that returns to the body is hearing.

Pat, clack, clack...

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Quick! Jump into the sea!"

...

The sound of cracking wood, the screams of people... one after another.

Holding the question "What's going on?" Ogata raised his head and looked around.

As soon as his eyes glanced at his surroundings, the surrounding scene... made Ogata involuntarily stunned as if he heard a loud bell ringing in his ear in a drowsy drunk dream.

Fire, fire everywhere!

The raging flames flickered on and off, and the soaring flames dyed the magnificent sea red like clouds.

The fire was so powerful that even the majestic heavy rain could not extinguish it in a short time.

Amidst the torrential waves, pieces of flames soared, trembled, and burst, turning into bright red flowers on the endless sea.

These red flowers ignited the rough sea and illuminated the smoggy and hazy clouds. The fire was so strong that people only felt that the sun was slightly inferior to it.

The mighty Hikimaru... no longer exists.

This mighty battleship has been broken into two pieces from the middle part at this time. And Ogata is now on the open deck of the front half of the wreckage.

Both the front half of the wreckage and the second half of the wreckage have been eroded by the fire.

The Huluwan that collided with Rihuiwan was also implicated in the explosion, and the bow of the ship was engulfed in flames.

The crew members who accidentally let the flames get on their bodies rolled on the ground like crazy, and the crew members who were lucky enough not to be burned by the flames screamed in terror and jumped into the sea, trying to escape.

Of course—a considerable number of people have no chance to extinguish the flames on their bodies or jump into the sea to escape. These people either turned into scorched black corpses, or turned into unrecognizable pieces...

The sense of smell is restored along with the sense of hearing.

The smell of burnt wood, the strange meaty smell of roasted human body... all kinds of smells are mixed together, making people sick.

The last sense that returned to Ogata's body...was pain.

Shocked by the scene in front of him, Ogata didn't realize until now that his body was in severe pain.

There was tearing pain coming from every part.

The intestines seemed to be twisted into a ball, and the stomach was turned upside down.

Limbs...especially the left arm hurt so much that Ogata, who had long been used to being injured and hurt, couldn't help but suddenly changed his expression.

He lowered his head and looked at his body - just as he glanced down, Xu Fang couldn't help but gasped.

His current body... is enough to be described as "horrible"...

From his chest to his stomach, there was a bloody mess... as if a shell had exploded close to his stomach.

Among the limbs, only the right arm was slightly injured, with only a few broken skins...

The other three limbs... could hardly find a few intact pieces of meat that were not stained by blood...

Ogata hastily raised his hand to touch his head—his head was not injured too much, only a large cut was made at the corner of his left forehead, and a large amount of blood flowed down the hole, covering half of Ogata's head. The face is covered with blood.

Every wound is now growing "meat shreds", repairing the wound.

Xuanzheng also said: Their "power of immortality" is not omnipotent.

Once one suffers too many and severe injuries in a short period of time, the "power of immortality" will lose its effectiveness because it cannot be repaired.

Every wound on Ogata's body was being repaired—but not at a fast pace.

The chaotic brain has already sobered up a lot at this time.

The fragments of memory before coma are pouring in like snowflakes at this moment.

After completely suppressing Toyotomi, and it was only a matter of time before he won, Toyotomi suddenly stretched out his left palm to receive Ogata's thrust...

The pierced left palm was raised high...

The sudden fireworks shot into the air...

As soon as the fireworks went off, the ship exploded violently...

The last piece of memory before losing consciousness... was that I was blown away by the fire waves and shock waves when I didn't expect the explosion...

And when he was blown away by the fire wave and the shock wave, he saw it - Toyotomi, who was standing directly opposite him at that time, was also blown away, and was blown away in the direction completely opposite to Ogata...

——Toyotomi!

Ogata, who had fully recovered his consciousness and memory, shrank his pupils, and quickly turned his eyes to look around, looking for Toyotomi's figure, and at the same time looking for his own sword.

The explosion came so violently and suddenly, but even so, Ogata kept holding his two sabers tightly with both hands.

Da Zizai and Da Shitian were still tightly held by Ogata in his left and right hands. Seeing that his knife was not blown away, Ogata couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before his consciousness was cut off, he saw it clearly—Toyotomi was also blown away with him.

For Ogata... the scene he is most willing to see now is naturally the dead body of Toyotomi, and the last thing he wants to see... is Toyotomi who is still alive and kicking...

However... this may be the so-called "whatever you are afraid of".

Just when Ogata turned his eyes around and looked for Toyotomi——

"Ha... Ogata Ichitosai, you are here... Hahaha... Neither of us died..."

The male voice that caused Ogata's expression to change slightly uncontrollably came from Ogata's side.

Ogata, whose face sank with a "swish", followed the voice, and slowly turned his head to look——

Toyotomi, holding Yoshimitsu bone food in his right hand, walked slowly towards Ogata at a slightly staggering pace, like a ghost from hell.

The corners of his mouth were raised in exaggerated arcs, revealing a frenzied grin.

His body, from head to toe, also has a lot of wounds.

Like Ogata, he had a big cut on his forehead, and a lot of blood flowed all over his face along the cut.

From the chest to the belly, there was a bloody mess. Limbs also have more or less, heavy or light injuries.

But it's obvious - Toyotomi's injury was lighter than Ogata's, and he can still stand up and walk, while Ogata can only stand up now, which is the best proof.

Only then did Ogata realize that Toyotomi was still holding a beautiful brocade box in his left hand.

Ogata always felt that this brocade box looked familiar. After looking at it in detail, he remembered that Lin was placed beside her when she was still under strict guard under the main mast before being rescued by Gamiya and the others. I don't know what kind of brocade box it contains.

"Although I know...you are a person with an abnormal mind...but I didn't expect you to be so abnormal...!" Ogata's eyes were so sharp that even using the word "stare" to describe it seemed too much Weak, "You actually blew up the entire ship! In your eyes, are the subordinates on this ship just a bunch of people who can be thrown away at will?"

Ogata struggled, slowly stood up with two knives in hand.

After Ogata stood up, Toyotomi stopped and stopped approaching.

The two confronted each other at a distance of less than 20 steps.

No matter how stupid Ogata was, he could guess it—the sudden explosion of the Hiki Maru was caused by Toyotomi!

He suddenly received his stab with his left palm, which was just his intention.

Ogata guessed: Toyotomi must have given his subordinates an order similar to "If you see him lifting his left palm and getting pierced, detonate the ship".

This order is for the purpose of being able to die with Ogata and others when the battle situation is unfavorable, so as to prevent Ogata and others from winning...

If you are lucky, you might be able to blow up only Ogata and others, while Toyotomi survived by relying on the strong vitality endowed by the "power of immortality", and directly relied on "detonating the ship" to turn defeat into victory.

Ogata couldn't help but feel lucky now—fortunate that he had let Mamiya and the others withdraw from here with Genichi and Lin, who were powerless to fight, before the ship was detonated.

He estimated that when Toyotomi ordered the detonation of the Hikki Maru, Mamiya and the others should have run far away, and it is unlikely that they would be affected by the explosion.

Toyotomi is a madman - Ogata already knew this based on all the information about Toyotomi he knew before.

He knew that Toyotomi was a madman... but he didn't expect this person to be so crazy...

Before the battle, they arranged such a crazy move to drag the whole ship to die together...

If it was possible, Ogata really wanted to fly over immediately, and quickly finish this madman who didn't know if he still had some crazy tricks that he didn't use.

But the legs that haven't fully recovered...Let Ogata let alone fly, and even walk with a little difficulty...

While staring at Toyotomi in front of him, Ogata inspected the injuries all over his body, anxiously waiting for the injuries...especially the recovery of the injuries of his two legs.

"Abandon at will...?" Toyotomi repeated the words Ogata just said in a low voice, then let out a low laugh, "You can say whatever you want."

"Anyway, I just issued the order that I think is the most appropriate based on the situation of the battle."

"As far as the results are concerned - the order I just gave is very wise."

The smile on Toyotomi's face showed more and more madness.

"Although it didn't kill you directly, it still hurt you a lot. Ogata Yidaosai, can you still swing the sword now?"

"You can come here and try it yourself." Ogata said calmly.

-Lungs...not hurt...well...

There was a foul-smelling air around, but it wasn't so foul-smelling that you couldn't even breathe.

Ogata took several deep breaths, confirmed that his lungs were not damaged and could absorb the surrounding air smoothly, and he couldn't help feeling a little more certain.

The lungs are not injured and can breathe normally, which means that Ogata can still use the "breath of the source" and enter the "state of selflessness".

As long as he can still enter the "Selfless Realm", he can continue to suppress Toyotomi like a ship before it exploded.

The previous battles have made it very clear - Toyotomi does not have the ability to counter him who has entered the "state of selflessness".

"Ha, can you still wield a knife... I think so, after all, you also have the 'power of immortality'." Toyotomi laughed softly, his shoulders shaking slightly, "Ogata Yidaosai , you should have seen it too—the wreckage of the ship under our feet has been slowly sinking."

Toyotomi lowered his eyes and glanced at the deck under his feet.

The hull that was broken into two pieces naturally lost the ability to float on the sea.

The waves kept beating against the wreckage of Rihuimaru.

The seabed, as dark as ink, was like a monster's bloody mouth, bit by bit devouring the broken Hikimaru hull in two.

Without Toyotomi's reminder, Ogata himself clearly felt just now—the wreckage of the ship under his feet has been slowly sinking.

According to Ogata's guess—it will only take about 10 minutes...the wreckage they used to stand on will completely sink into the sea.

"It won't be long before there will be no place for us to stand on the sea." Toyotomi slowly raised his eyes from the deck at his feet and stabbed at Ogata.

His cheeks were lifted up again, and there was a bit of ferocity in the toothy smile.

"Since time is running out, and you still have the ability to wield a knife... let's restart our battle quickly!"

Slap!

Toyotomi flicked and flicked the five fingers of his left hand holding the beautiful brocade box, opened the brocade box, and took out the contents inside.

Looking at the things contained in the brocade box, Ogata's eyes suddenly widened.

The thing contained in the brocade box... was actually the head of a beautiful woman.

His eyes were closed, his face was peaceful, and he looked as if he was asleep.

After seeing this head, all kinds of information about the "power of immortality" that Xuanzheng had told him earlier flashed through Yu Xufang's mind.

Although no one came to introduce and explain to Ogata, based on the information he knew, Ogata quickly understood that this head was exactly the head of Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis!

"Hahaha... Ogata Yidaosai, look at your expression... You seem to have guessed whose head this head in my hand belongs to."

Toyotomi smiled on the surface.

"Ogata Yidaosai, I don't know if you have ever thought about what will happen if you continue to eat the flesh and blood of eight hundred bhikkhunis when your body has already successfully digested the 'power of immortality'?"

Toyotomi chuckled a few times in an uncomfortable tone, and then said to himself:

"I was very curious about this question."

"So, I once asked a certain test subject to eat another piece of meat from Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni after successfully digesting the 'power of immortality' with the Dinghao pill."

"The final result is both unexpected and reasonable."

"In the case that the 'power of immortality' has already been successfully digested, eating the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis can further enhance the 'power of immortality' in the body."

"It's just—this will bring a great burden to the body. The burden to the body brought by swallowing the flesh and blood of the eight hundred bhikkhuni for the second time will be far greater than the first time swallowing the flesh and blood of the eight hundred bhikkhuni. "

"And the third time to swallow the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis will bring more burden to the body than the second time."

Having said that, Toyotomi, whose smile was already full of arrogance to the extreme, slowly lifted the head of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni that was being held in his left hand to his lips.

"The reason why I said the order to 'detonate the hull' is very wise, not just because it successfully injured you."

"It's even more because of the detonation of the hull, which gave me the time and opportunity to bring the head of Eight Hundred Bikuni."

As soon as Toyotomi's words fell, he opened his mouth wide, biting on the white skin of the eight hundred monks' left side, pulling and pulling, he dragged off the large piece of flesh on the left cheek of the eight hundred monks, In the mouth, his cheeks moved, he chewed casually, and then swallowed it into his stomach.

Looking at Toyotomi who began to bite the flesh of the head of the eight hundred monks, Ogata's breathing slowed down uncontrollably due to the trembling.

As soon as he saw Toyotomi taking out the head of the eight hundred bhikkhunis from the brocade box, Ogata was already vaguely aware of what kind of trick Toyotomi seemed to be planning to use and planned to rush forward. life.

But his legs were badly injured and hadn't fully recovered, and he couldn't even walk, so Ogata could only do this and watch Toyotomi devouring the flesh and blood of the eight hundred monks.

Under the heavy rain, on the wreckage of the burning ship, a young man with a wild smile on his face crazily gnawed a woman's head—it was a scene like hell.

After Toyotomi tore off most of the eight hundred bhikkhuni's face and swallowed it, he finally put down the eight hundred bhikkhuni's head from his lips.

Like throwing away trash, he threw the bitten face back into the brocade box at his feet.

Ogata saw Toyotomi at this time, and his appearance began to undergo a terrifying change.

Limbs, neck... In short, all Toyotomi's exposed skin that Ogata could see had a lot of blue veins.

The whites of both eyes were bloodshot, and the kernels of the eyes were black... a faint purple light could be seen faintly.

If we talk about the biggest change...it is naturally the current recovery speed of Toyotomi.

If - Toyotomi's recovery speed was 10 just now, then Toyotomi's current recovery speed is at least 30!

All the injuries on Toyotomi's body recovered in just an instant! The body returned to a state without any trauma!

"Okay..." Toyotomi looked at Ogata, slowly raised his purple eyes, and laughed wildly, "Let's start! Let's fight to the death!"

As soon as the voice fell, Toyotomi rushed towards Ogata like a gust of wind!

Seeing the speed displayed by Toyotomi at this time, Ogata's pupils shrank, and then immediately switched his breathing to "the breath of the source", entering the "state of selflessness".

Before and after dodging to Ogata's heels, Toyotomi stabbed Ogata's forehead vertically, and Ogata slashed Da Shitian in the direction where Jiguang Gushi was coming——

clang--! !

The sword confrontation between the two... can no longer be regarded as a "contest between swordsmen".

Compared to a swordsman... more like two monsters colliding and biting there!

Click...

After the ear-piercing sound of knife clashing fell, the sound of something breaking quietly sounded.

The swords of Ogata and Toyotomi... were broken.

No matter how powerful the sabers of the two are, they are still only mortal weapons made of metal.

It can't stand the toss of monsters.

Where the sharp blades of the two met, a small gap appeared in both of them, and the cracking sound was their painful groan.

The huge force sent back along the blade turned into a strong tingling sensation, spreading throughout Ogata's entire right arm.

Toyotomi's strength has jumped by an unknown amount compared to before. Regarding this, Ogata's expression... didn't change in any way because of this - because before he had time to make a change, Toyotomi withdrew his knife, and then struck Ogata again.

Not only the strength, but the speed has also been greatly improved.

Its speed is so fast... Even Ogata, who has already entered the "Non-Self Realm", can't react.

Ogata's legs have not yet recovered, so now Ogata can only choose to swing his sword to take Toyotomi's slash.

clang--! !

The two knives touched again, and then the two knives collided again to create a small gap...

Retracting the knife that split the air, and then cutting it out again——Toyotomi repeated this process over and over again.

Facing Toyotomi's slash with both strange power and speed, Ogata defended with reluctant and embarrassing movements.

The positions of the two were reversed.

Before the ship was detonated, it was Ogata who had the upper hand and suppressed Toyotomi.

But now...the two changed their form in offense and defense, and Toyotomi had the upper hand, while Ogata passively parried Toyotomi's attack.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose——Ogata, who is constantly defending Toyotomi's attack, accidentally misses Toyotomi's move...

Scoff -!

The knife that was overlooked made a severe cut on Ogata's left shoulder...

"Aha... I got you!" Toyotomi grinned grimly, retracted the knife, and then attacked Ogata.

——The state of selflessness... Can't resist it...

Ogata, who didn't even have the strength to check the injury on his left shoulder, gritted his teeth, tried his best to parry Toyotomi's slash, and counterattacked Toyotomi at the right time.

It is obvious - Toyotomi's senses and reaction speed have also been greatly improved...

Ogata slashed at Toyotomi 4 times in one breath, but Toyotomi easily dodged it with a leisurely movement like playing with a pet, then resumed the offensive, and slashed at Ogata's vital points...

clang--! ! clang--! ! clang--! ! clang--! !

The sound of clashing gold and iron resounded one after another in this boundless sea, in this sea of ​​flames.

Scoff - failed to parry Toyotomi's slash, Ogata's left leg was cut off a little...

Scoff——Tricked by Toyotomi's fake action, Ogata's head was almost cut off. Although he managed to escape in the end, his neck was slashed. Fortunately, the main artery in the neck was not injured...

Scoff - I missed Toyotomi's move, the tip of Ogata's left ear was cut off...

...

Toyotomi added new injuries to Ogata's body one after another.

The original injuries on Ogata's body caused by the explosion have not fully recovered, and now they are constantly adding new injuries...

The "immortal power" in Ogata's body... now it is probably in the real sense of "overwork".

Vaguely, Ogata felt that the recovery speed of his injury seemed to be further slowed down.

Under Toyotomi's offensive, not only the injuries on Ogata's body continued to increase, but also the "injuries" of his two sabers continued to increase.

The two knives he had finally repaired were rapidly returning to their previous tattered state.

Unlike his right arm, Ogata's left arm suffered less damage. At the moment when the injury of his left arm has not yet fully recovered, Ogata mainly uses Da Shitian in his right hand to contend with Toyotomi.

Looking around - the blade of Ogata's Da Shitian has been cut with more than ten gaps...

Of course, Toyotomi's Ji Guanggushi was not much better, and his knife also became bumpy.

The two knives... almost every time they touch each other three times, there will be a gap between the two of them.

But even so - Toyotomi still unconcernedly launched wave after wave of attacks on Ogata with a smirk.

clang--! !

Ogata struggled to raise his left and right arms, crossed Da Shitian and Da Zizai upwards, and blocked Toyotomi's vertical chop.

Feeling like Ogata who was carrying a mountain, his knees bent uncontrollably, and he was almost crushed by the "mountain" and fell to his knees.

This time, Toyotomi did not withdraw his sword quickly and strike Ogata again as before.

Instead, he quickly pivoted with his left foot, turned his body, and gave a roundabout kick to Ogata's chest.

Toyotomi's "turn cut into kick" came too fast, and Ogata instantly made the judgment that "it's too late to defend".

But fortunately—Ogata's legs have recovered a lot now.

Although it has not fully recovered, Ogata has been able to jump and walk normally.

Ogata kicked his feet on the ground and jumped back, trying to escape Toyotomi's kick.

Ogata had jumped back as fast as he could, but Toyotomi's feet came faster...

Boom!

The moment Toyotomi kicked Nakaogata's chest with his heel, there was a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, like a kicked ball, Xu Fang flew backwards, broke through layers of rain, and slammed into the railing of the ship not far away, causing some cracks in the railing of the ship's railing.

"Cough...cough cough...!" Ogata felt as if there was a turbulent current in his chest, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide and coughing forcefully.

Although Ogata's retreat just now failed to completely avoid Toyotomi's kick, it still had some effect - it didn't let Toyotomi's heel kick firmly on his chest.

Although he was directly kicked away, the injuries he suffered were not too serious. Ogata felt that his chest was at most broken.

"Cough... cough cough cough cough..." Oufang bowed his waist and coughed violently for a while before he felt the "turbulent flow" in his chest subside.

And just when Ogata stopped coughing——

pat...

There was the sound of something falling.

It was a small black thing that fell out of Ogata's arms.

Ogata moved his eyes to look—it was a small medicine box...

Seeing this... Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had his own consciousness and fell out of the medicine box.

Take a serious look - it can be seen that at this moment, a complex emotion flickered in Ogata's eyes.

Crash la la la la...!

The rain intensified again.

Boom! Rumble——!

The thunder roared louder and louder as if it wanted to cooperate with the growing rain.

Feeling the cold touch of the raindrops pattering on the skin, Ogata raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, let the rainwater drip into his mouth, and then swallowed in one breath.

The cool rain fell down the esophagus into Ogata's stomach, and under the stimulation of the rain, Ogata felt that his consciousness became slightly clearer.

The sound of unhurried footsteps, along with the sound of rain falling on the jade plate, approached Ogata little by little.

Whirring whirring--!

Not only the rain and thunder became stronger, but even the wind became stronger and stronger.

Gusts of strong wind blew the two people on the deck, and the rain-absorbed feathers on the two people's bodies, which were embroidered with "bellflower flower" and "Taige paulownia leaf" respectively, rattled.

"... Heh, the 'bellflower' on your haori...the more I look at it, the more I feel mixed emotions." Looking at the bellflower fluttering on Ogata's body, Toyotomi's mad smile slowly faded away, "Oo Fang Yidaozhai, you should know about the 'Tianwangshan Battle' between the Toyotomi clan and the Zhizhi clan?"

"Two hundred years ago, Mitsuhide Akechi, who killed the lord, and his former colleague: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, launched a decisive battle under Mount Tenno to determine the ownership of the world."

"As for Akechi Mitsuhide's family crest, it's the 'Kankyo flower'."

"This decisive battle between 'flowers' and 'leaves' will finally end with the overall victory of 'leaf'."

"This unprecedented decisive battle... established the dominance of the 'Taige Tongye'."

Toyotomi shook his shoulders and let out a strange laugh.

"Two hundred years ago, the 'Pianigen flower' stood in front of the domineering path of the 'Taige Tongye'."

"And now—when the 'Taige Tongye' is determined to start a new great cause, the 'Pianoidinosa' reappears, once again obstructing the front of the 'Taige Tongye'."

"Should I say God's will? Or should I say fate?"

"...Ogata Yidaosai." Toyotomi who was walking towards Ogata dragging his sword, his expression gradually disappeared, and finally—looking down at Ogata who was still sitting on the ground expressionlessly, "There is still a way to swing the sword ?"

"...I don't need to worry about this." Ogata, who was sitting on the deck, leaning against the railing behind him with his head down, said calmly.

"That's good!" A frenzied and terrifying smile flew onto Toyotomi's cheeks again, "In order to try to defeat you, I risked my life. If you can't wield a knife so quickly, that's a shame." It's such a disappointment!"

As soon as the voice fell, Toyotomi pressed the center of gravity of his body, like a flying swallow gliding on the ground, and once again rushed towards Ogata.

Ogata flicked his left hand——grabbed a large piece of ship hull debris by his side and threw it at Toyotomi who was rushing towards him.

On the current deck, the most indispensable thing is the hull fragments of various sizes.

This kind of playful "hidden weapon attack" is obviously impossible to play an important role in Toyotomi who is now in the shape of a ghost.

Toyotomi only slashed forward, and smashed the ship hull fragment thrown by Ogata into countless pieces, and he couldn't even slow down Toyotomi's footsteps.

But—although he couldn't slow down Toyotomi's footsteps, he covered Toyotomi's sight for a moment.

In this way... that's enough!

Breaking through the "hidden weapon" thrown by Ogata, Toyotomi rushed to Ogata without any hindrance. Yoshimitsu's blade broke through the rain curtain from the top road and fell towards Ogata's forehead!

Ogata, who had been drooping his head, suddenly lifted his head up, and raised the two knives in his hand——

clang--! !

"Huh?" Toyotomi frowned, looking at Ogata in front of him in surprise.

The power transmitted back along the blade... became stronger——Toyotomi clearly felt this way.

click...

At this time, Toyotomi heard the sound of something falling—it was a medicine box.

An already opened, empty medicine box fell from Ogata's body to the ground.

"...You said—'You risked your life'?"

Ogata slowly raised his eyes, passed the swords that the two were holding together, and met Toyotomi's gaze.

At this time, Toyotomi saw—the appearance of Ogata gradually changed.

A blush slowly appeared on the skin, and the color of this blush continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dark red.

"You are not the only one who can risk your life..."

Ogata's arms violently exerted force!

Toyotomi, who felt like a huge wave was hitting him, was pushed back 2 steps.

And the moment he pushed Toyotomi away, Ogata took a deep breath——

Scoff!

Dazizi's blade slashed at Toyotomi's face from bottom to top!

Seeing this, Toyotomi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly leaned back.

Toyotomi, who leaned back in time, managed to avoid his face being chopped off, and only allowed Dazizao's blade to pass across his chest, cutting a wound that was not shallow but not deep.

The blood dripping from the wound on Toyotomi's chest flowed down the edge of Dazizai's blade under inertia and splashed into the air.

This blossoming blood flower... only splashed for a moment.

As soon as Da Zizai's blade passed by, the wound on Toyotomi's chest was healed quickly.

It's like slashing the water surface with a knife - the blade just cuts the water surface in a second, and the water surface closes itself again in a second.

Toyotomi did several backflips in a row, opening the distance with Ogata in one go.

I saw that he looked at Ogata with surprised eyes for a few times... then he let out a big laugh that slowed down and then hurriedly.

"'Yasha Realm'..."

Toyotomi, who has spent several years and painstaking efforts to slowly deploy in order to get Shiranui in his pocket, naturally recognizes the "Yasha state" painstakingly researched by Balrog to counter Genichi's "Selfless Realm".

"Ogata Yidaosai, did you take away one of the Balrog's hard work when you attacked Shiranui?"

"Where did my Yasha pill come from? You don't need to know, and I don't want to waste time explaining to you slowly." Ogata put his two knives on the ground and stood up slowly.

If Toyotomi's current appearance is "like a ghost", then Ogata at this time is not much better than him.

The skin of the body turned dark red due to entering the "Yasha state", and a gas like steam wafted out. Coupled with this posture of standing slowly with a knife, it really looks like a Shura from hell.

"Hmm..." As soon as he stood up, Ogata's brows were filled with pain, and his eyes closed involuntarily.

Looking at Ogata, who was entering the "Yasha Realm" while continuing to maintain the breathing rhythm of "Source Breath", Toyotomi's face... There was no negative emotion such as annoyance or disgust.

On his face... only a strange look of joy slowly emerged.

"Ogata Yidao Zhai, I never imagined that you still have such a killer move."

"But—is this okay?"

"As far as I know, the 'Yasha Realm' will put a huge burden on the user's body."

"And your breathing method that can be used to enhance your own strength... can't be used without any price."

"Using your breathing method and Yasha Wan at the same time... Aren't you worried that even after successfully defeating me, you will leave irreversible damage to your body?"

Ogata's breathing at this time was quite heavy.

"Hoo... ph... ph... ph... ph..."

Ogata, whose breathing was disordered, slowly opened his eyes that had been closed just now due to pain.

"The future... I don't care!"

Boom——!

Thunder blazed and lightning exploded.

The thunder that shattered above the heads of the two illuminated the furious smile on Toyotomi's face and Ogata's pupils that seemed to be burning with flames.

"Ha, hahahahahahaha... It seems that there is no need to say more."

"Very good! That's how it should be!"

"You and I have put everything together and used all the tricks we can... Only in this way can we have the momentum of the second decisive battle between 'Flower' and 'Leaf'!"

"Okay, then... let's continue to fight to the death!"

Toyotomi, whose maddened smile barely faded, raised his left hand and grabbed the fabric on Haori's right shoulder——

Hiss!

Toyotomi tore off the feathered fabric embroidered with the family crest of "Taiko Tongye" on his body, and threw it to the heavy rain, and threw it to the thunderous clouds!

"The 9th head of the Toyotomi family."

"Toyotomi Nobuhide!"

Seeing it, Ogata also raised his left hand, his thumb and index finger still clenched Dazizi, and the other three fingers hooked on his body was also tattered, but the thing embroidered was "Pianigen flower" The haori of the family pattern.

With a pull, a pull, a flick—the "Pianisco flower" is also flying towards the sky with the strong wind!

Crash la la la la la——!

The rain was sudden and violent, and the thunder in the clouds began to be violent!

The silver-white thunder light illuminated the faces of the two of them, and at the same time, it also illuminated the "bellflower flower" and "taige paulownia leaf" flying in the wind and flying in the distance!

"Wonder."

"Ogata Yishi!"

The next moment, the sword roared for the men!

The two rushed to each other, and the swords that tore the rain curtain collided in the air and became one! Make a sharp clang!

The shining sword light seemed to cut through the sky of black clouds overwhelming the city!

There is raging fire on the surface of the sea, and surging sea water below the surface of the sea.

Fire and water.

Flames and waves.

Platycodon flower and Taigetong leaves.

Light and dark!
