I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

After the sixth cut, the strange vision disappeared again.

After successfully slashing Shuntaro with Chanyu's sixth knife, Ogata held Dashaten high, preparing to cut Chanyu's last knife.

The knife that he suffered just now had a great impact on Shuntaro.

Looking at Ogata's high-handed Oshaten, Shuntarou could see it--because he had suffered the cut just now, it was too late to take Ogata's seventh cut.

So Shintaro gritted his teeth and simply gave up his defense.

Instead of defending Ogata's seventh sword, he pointed the tip of the Ninja sword in his hand at Ogata and pierced it straight.

Both of them hit each other with their swords.

Shuntaro's sword penetrated Ogata's right chest.

On the other hand, Ogata's sword was drawn from Shuntaro's left shoulder to his right abdomen.

The blood flower splashed out of the two of them almost at the same time.

After pulling their swords from each other's bodies, Ogata and Shuntaro each stepped back.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Warm blood poured down Ogata's throat and dripped down the corners of Ogata's mouth.

A sense of dizziness began to flow out of my mind.

Ogata's chest had begun to fluctuate up and down at a very high frequency like a blower.

Even if he breathed in big mouths, the efficiency of oxygen supply began to fail to keep up with Ogata's consumption.

It's almost reaching the limit-the various reactions of the body tell Ogata this fact all the time.

After entering the "Selfless Realm", physical strength will be lost at a rapid rate like water in a bathtub with an open water outlet.

Ogata estimated that his "selfless state" might only last a few more minutes.

The difference in Shintaro's current state is even worse than that of Ogata.

The degree of panting is worse than Ogata's.

The white mist emanating from the skin has become lighter compared to the steamy mist.

But overall, Shintaro is still in a worse state now, because his injury is a bit heavier than Ogata.

The 6th and 7th swords of Ogata's "Cicada Rain" just now left Shuantaro with deep wounds.

After suffering such a heavy knife, if someone with a slightly weaker willpower is replaced, they may have fainted.

Not only did Ogata feel no upset or helpless after seeing that Shuntaro hadn't fallen yet.

I only felt extremely admired by Shun Taro, and this admiration turned into a smile on Ogata's face.

...

...

Not far away, Keitaro, who was "supervising" Shuntaro by holding the wind chime Taio under the threat of the wind chime Taio, has been shocked since the battle between Ogata and Shuntaro. Consciously expand without knowing it.

It was the first time he saw this level of duel.

Some of Ogata and Shuntaro's moves just now, Eitaro couldn't even see clearly.

This was also the first time he truly realized the weight of the title of "Head of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Before that, he had never seen Shuntaro doing his best.

He only knew that Shun Taro was very strong, but he had no idea how strong he was.

Up to this moment, after seeing Shuntaro with full firepower, Keitaro was very grateful-Kazuta was in their hands, and they could rely on this to threaten Shuntaro not to mess around.

If he was asked to go heads-up with Shuntaro, Keitaro felt that he would definitely not even be able to pick up Shuntaro's five moves who had entered the "Yasha state".

There was another thing that shocked Keitaro even more-these two people hadn't fallen yet.

Both are now covered in bruises and blood dripping, and blood is constantly falling and dripping, dyeing the original brown soil black.

The two of them were obviously blood people, but neither Ogata nor Shuntaro fell down, still staring at each other closely.

The Taifu who was being held hostage by Keitaro was also full of astonishment now.

But she wasn't just surprised at the strength of Ogata and Shuntaro, and at the fact that both of them had not fallen.

She was also surprised that she finally remembered where she had heard Ogata's voice just now.

Keitaro had just said "Killing the executioner Ichitosai" to Shuntaro, so Taifu knew that the man who was now rivaling Shuntaro was the now famous and alive legend-Ogata Ichitosai.

Before the battle started, the Taifu heard the conversation between Ogata and Shuntaro.

When he first heard Ogata's voice, Taifu felt very familiar.

But for a while, I couldn't remember where I heard this voice.

It wasn't until I noticed Ogata's Ogata and Taizai that Taifu suddenly remembered - this seemed to be Goro Majima's saber.

As the Oiran of Yoshihara, he is in need of work, and the Taifu can easily remember some of the clothing characteristics, behavior habits, and language habits of people he has met early.

Although the communication with Goro Majima is not too much, the Taifu remembers Majima's two sabers.

It is very rare that both the handle and sheath are blue and gold knives, so Taifu has a deep memory of these two very beautiful knives.

The two knives that Ogata is holding now are those two very beautiful knives.

It was also after noticing that the sword Ogata used was Majima Goro's saber, that Taio suddenly remembered why he felt that Ogata's voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.

Because Ogata’s voice is the voice of Goro Majima...

Regardless of his height or body shape, Ogata is also completely consistent with Mashima...

--No way……?

An astonishing conjecture involuntarily surfaced in Taifu's mind.

In addition to surprise, there are some more complicated emotions floating on the face of the husband.

She hoped that Shuntaro, who was already covered in bruises, would not fight anymore.

Either escape or surrender directly. As long as you can stop fighting.

But the Taifu, who was a friend of Shuntaro since childhood, knew that her idea was absolutely impossible to realize.

Although Shuntaro's face was not clear because Shuntaro's back was facing her, Taifu dare to conclude that Shuntaro's current face must be happy.

...

...

"...Can you still stand up?" Ogata asked, "Can you fight again?"

"Of course!" Shintaro grinned, "How about you? Can you fight again? Ichitosai!"

Ogata smiled.

No answer.

Only Dashaten with his right hand was raised, and the tip of his sword pointed at Shuntaro.

Seeing Ogata responding to him with actions, the smile on Shintaro's face became more intense.

"...Shuntaro!"

At this moment, Shuntaro heard a call to him from behind.

It was the voice of Keitaro.

He had been pursing his lips since just now, and after not knowing what he was thinking, Keitaro suddenly called Shuntaro's name, and then shouted.

"Follow this!"

Keitaro took a small gourd from his waist and threw it at Shuntaro.

When Shintaro turned his head to look at him, he happened to see this gourd falling towards him across a beautiful parabola.

Although he didn't know what Eitaro was going to do, Shuntaro raised his hand to catch this under-aged gourd firmly.

"Drink the potion in the gourd!"

Keitaro said anxiously towards Shuntaro.

"The potion in the gourd can temporarily relieve pain and restore some physical strength!"

The potion in the gourd is a potion made with the magic formula passed down by Eitaro and his family from generation to generation.

The medicinal effect of this potion is to temporarily relieve the pain of the user and restore some physical strength.

Of course-this potion still has side effects.

It has two side effects. The first side effect is that after the efficacy of the drug has passed, there will be no appetite and no food for a few hours.

The second side effect is that you can't drink more in a short period of time.

If you drink more in a short period of time, it will cause diarrhea and vomiting until the bile comes out.

Both Ogata and Shintaro are now at their limit.

For now, it's up to who can't hold it first.

So in order to get rid of the big threat of executioner Ichitosai quickly, Keitaro decided to lend the precious potion he carried with him to Shuntaro to drink.

As long as you drink this potion, the pain on your body can be slightly reduced, and your physical strength can be restored a little.

——Shuntaro, drink it!

A somewhat triumphant and excited smile appeared on Keitaro's face.

——As long as you drink it, you will win!

At this juncture where it's up to who can't hold it first, if Shuntaro's physical strength can be restored, he will undoubtedly have the absolute upper hand in this battle in an instant.

However... the next scene that appeared in front of Eitaro's eyes directly froze the smile on Eitaro's face.

Shintaro glanced at the gourd in his hand.

Then he let go of his hand and let the gourd fall to his feet, then raised his foot and stepped on the gourd.

The potion in the gourd splashed out, staining the brown soil underneath.

Seeing Shuntaro's move, the smile on Keitaro's face froze directly, and his eyes widened with shock at the speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his mouth opened wide.

A bit of surprise appeared on Ogata's face.

Only the face of the husband did not change.

The husband seemed to have expected such a scene to happen a long time ago.

After being stunned for a while with excessive shock, Keitaro finally recovered.

"what are you doing?!"

After regaining his senses, Keitaro immediately yelled at Shuntaro angrily.

"Are you a fool?! Or think I'm lying to you?!"

"Just drink the potion in the gourd to restore your stamina! You can defeat Yidaozhai immediately!"

After stepping on this gourd that contained a potion that could restore his stamina, Shuntaro didn't have the slightest regret on his face.

After Keitaro's abuse fell, he said in a calm tone without looking back:

"My duel with Ogata Ichitosai does not require you to provide such boring assistance."

"I...I just want to know who is stronger than the person with the title of'Sura'!"

"Don't bother me!"

After that, Shuntaro turned his head and glared at Keitaro who was behind him.

This look is not sharp.

But after Shuntaro's eyes were cast on Eitaro's body, Eitaro instantly felt as if he was stared at by a fierce tiger, his neck contracted involuntarily, and a little cold sweat appeared between his forehead.

However, Keitaro still suppressed the fear in his heart, and Asashitaro tried his best according to reason:

"Did you have a problem with your head?! As a ninja, you still play the samurai pedantic etiquette?!"

"...I just remembered what you said just now."

"I remember why I became a ninja in the first place."

Shuntaro spoke in a hurry.

"I...The reason why I entered the world of ninjas is to meet the strong and challenge them more easily.

"Don't confuse me with you guys."

Shintaro withdrew his gaze from Keitaro.

When he turned his gaze back to Ogata in front of him, Shuntaro suddenly caught a glimpse of a magnificent building.

"...I just found out now that I saw Edo Castle here."

Ogata followed Shintaro's line of sight.

In the distance, a towering castle stands. It stands in the very center of Edo.

The magnificent castle is dominated by blue and white bright colors, solemn and solemn.

This castle is the center of power throughout Japan, the residence of the shoguns, and the place where hundreds of officials from the shogunate gather for discussion-Edo Castle.

"...Now I think about it carefully, the "Gozen Trial" that is being held in the outskirts of Edo is basically a playhouse."

"Participants, there are just some guys who have no level of sight."

"The trial-and-match method is also boring."

Shuntaro withdrew his gaze from Edo Castle, looked at Ogata, grinned openly, and smiled happily.

"Ogata Ichitosai, my battle with you is the real "Edo Castle Gozen Test"!"

Ogata smiled and withdrew his gaze from the Edo Castle in the distance, "Don't you think it's a pity? If you drank the contents of the gourd just now, maybe you could really defeat me immediately."

"After all, my stamina is almost exhausted now. If your stamina is restored, I might really not be your opponent."

"What I yearn for is to challenge the powerful, not to defeat the powerful." Shuntaro answered without hesitation.

Obviously, his body is full of wounds, and the whole person has become a blood man, but Shun Taro's eyes are still so energetic and luminous, like flames burning in the depths of his pupils.

"The thing I use to defeat you is my knife."

Ogata smiled.

I don't know why, but I just feel a smile coming from my cheeks.

"Someone will defeat me." Ogata's eyes were also shining brightly at this time. "But that won't be today, and that person won't be you."

Shintaro also smiled happily.

He raised the Shinobi sword in both hands and set the sword: "We should be running out of time for the two of us, let's decide the outcome!"

Ogata: "Bring the horse here!"

Snapped!

The ground kicking sounded.

Shuntaro rushed straight towards Ogata.

Ogata set up Dashaten and Dazai.

Snapped!

Ogata kicked his back foot.

He also rushed straight towards Shun Taro.

The two rushed towards each other almost at the same time.

Obviously both of them are now covered in bruises, but both their posture and fighting spirit are more vigorous than before.

The strange vision appeared again.

Ogata can see exactly how the muscles of Shuntaro's legs are exerting strength, and how the muscles of his arms are accumulating strength.

The moment he saw the muscles of Shuntaro's arms, Ogata understood what Shuntaro was planning to do-he planned to defeat Ogata with this next move.

Shuntaro's injuries were much heavier than Ogata, so he was no longer able to fight for a long time as before.

Therefore, he intends to pour all his strength into the next blow, and one blow will determine the winner.

After seeing Shuntaro's attempt, Ogata didn't have any thoughts of evasion or defense.

Since Shuntaro intends to end the battle with a fatal blow, Ogata decided to respond with a fatal blow.

Whoever wins depends on the next blow!

Ogata raised up Oshaten in his hands.

Shuntarou lowered the Shinobi sword in his right hand, with the blade facing Ogata, and the tip of the sword was so low that it was about to touch the ground.

At the moment when the two are about to stagger each other--

Ogata hacked Oshaten from top to bottom.

Shintaro slashed the Shinobi sword from the bottom up.

...

The two missed each other.

...

After the mismatch, the two slowly slowed down their respective speeds until they stopped.

Ogata stood where Shuntaro stood just now.

And Shun Taro stood where Ogata stood just now.

The two were back to back like this, and no one immediately looked back to see if their attack just now worked.

Because - how the outcome is, the two of them already knew the moment they were about to pass each other and slashed at each other.

A blood mist rose from Shintaro's body.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Shuntaro, who vomited a mouthful of blood, staggered, trying to maintain his balance.

But in the end, the body fell forward heavily.

Falling to the ground, aroused a cloud of dust.

After Shuntaro fell to the ground, Ogata slowly turned around and looked at Shuntaro who had fallen to the ground but was still breathing.

Shuntaro is not dead yet.

The moment Ogata's sword was about to hit him, he subconsciously blocked it with the Shinobi sword in his other hand.

Although it didn't block Ogata's sword, it managed to make Ogata's sword deviate slightly from its original path without being injured.

Just now when the two of them launched a life-threatening blow on both sides at the same time, Ogata saw through Shuntaro's knife path with that strange vision.

Ogata can see exactly how the sword is going and how strong it will be.

After seeing through Shuntaro's attack direction and strength, Ogata dodges Shuntaro's attack while leaving a big hole in Shuntaro's chest.

Seeing through Shuntaro's knife path, while avoiding Shuntaro's attack, he wounded Shuntaro with a stab at the same time-these things were done at the same time when he crossed with Shuntaro.

Originally, even if he entered the "Selfless Realm", Ogata did not have the ability to accomplish these things at the same time in an instant.

But the strange state that Ogata has entered now makes it easy for Ogata to do something that can't be done in the "no-self state".

This strange state not only allows Ogata to see the muscles under Shuntaro's skin, but also allows Ogata to easily mobilize every muscle of his own, making it easier for him to exert strength and mobility.

At this moment, this strange state has not disappeared.

Ogata can still see the muscles under Shuentaro's skin.

Can still mobilize every muscle of oneself freely.

The energy just now was focused on the confrontation with Shun Taro, and it was too late to perceive and experience this strange state.

Now that Shuntaro has fallen, Ogata finally has the opportunity and energy to experience this new state, which is completely different from "the state of no self".

After looking at Shuntaro who had fallen to the ground, and then at the flowers and trees that were not far away, Ogata realized that he was not only able to see how Shuntaro's muscles were moving.

Shuntaro's internal organs, bones, meridians... these things can be seen by Ogata.

And the reason why he was able to see these things was not because he suddenly had clairvoyance.

To be precise, these things were not "seen" by Ogata.

It is sensed.

He can clearly sense how the muscles, bones, and internal organs under Shintaro's skin are working.

This sense of clarity gave Ogata the illusion that his eyes could see through Shuntaro's skin.

The reason why Ogata can easily mobilize every muscle in his body and make his body burst out with stronger power is also thanks to this powerful induction-even his own body, Ogata can also clearly sense its state.

Which muscle of my own is fatigued, which muscle is injured... Ogata knows all of these.

Can clearly sense oneself, can easily mobilize the power of every corner of the body.

Not only that, but Ogata can sense more than this.

I didn't even look at it, but I could clearly sense how the surrounding flowers and plants are swaying with the wind...

Which trees' leaves began to fall...

Where does the wind blow...

Where are ants crawling...

...

Ogata can sense everything in the surroundings.

With so much information pouring into Ogata's mind, Ogata didn't feel any sense that his brain could not be overloaded.

Sensing everything about everything around him, Ogata had an illusion--that he seemed to be mingling with this world.

And this powerful induction force made the current Ogata feel: now a shuriken is flying straight towards him.

Ogata didn't even look at the shuriken flying towards him, only relying on this powerful induction force to avoid the shuriken flying straight towards him on one side of his body.

"Unexpectedly, you still have the ability to avoid my shuriken..."

Ogata looked in the direction where the sword in his hand had just flown from.

I saw Keitaro holding his short gun and walking towards him with a calm face.

"...Shuntaro, that idiot, have to bother me to do it myself."

Ogata glanced at the place where Eitaro was standing just now—Tao has been laid horizontally on the ground.

The Taifu struggled to think of getting up, but because she was **** with five flowers and her mouth was tied with a cloth strip, she couldn't stand up, so she could only twist and make some "humming" noises on the ground.

"Is it your turn to be my opponent?" Ogata's tone was calm.

"Yes! Let's take your life!" Keitaro sneered. "Although Shuntaro can kill you, he also succeeded in killing you half-life!"

"You are very strong, yes!"

"But no matter how strong you are, are you at your limit now?"

Keitaro is very confident now.

I was confident that I would be able to kill the executioner Idozhai.

The executioner Ichitosai had just fought against the monster Shuntarou now, and now he was covered in blood, out of breath, and his physical strength should be low.

No matter what Eitaro thought, he couldn't think of a reason to lose.

Ichitosai probably doesn't even have the strength to dodge now, and Keitaro feels that he can win with a shot now.

Looking at Eitaro who ran out to pick up people's heads, Ogata's expression was without sorrow, and his expression did not change at all.

After slamming Da Zizao down and removing the blood attached to the blade, Ogata retracted it back into its sheath.

What Keitaro said just now was not wrong.

Ogata is indeed approaching the limit now, and the "Selfless Realm" can only last for less than one minute.

He doesn't even have the strength to use the two swords now, so he retracted Da Zi's scabbard and only continued to hold Da Shi Tian.

"Come on," Ogata said softly, "Since you think you have the power to take my life now, come on."

"But my ugly words are ahead."

"I feel like my condition is too good now."

After all, Ogata just stood there.

Without putting on any posture, he just stood upright holding Da Shitian so naturally.

--what happened……? !

Keitaro looked at Ogata, who was just standing normally, with a look of astonishment.

Obviously his body was bruised.

Obviously there is no posture.

But Keitaro could feel: Ogata in front of him has no flaws at all.

It's like facing a high mountain-I want to use a short spear to stab a high mountain, but I don't know where to start.

Cold sweat began to emerge from Keitaro's forehead.

--what happened? !

Keitaro yelled in horror in his heart.

——He should have no strength now, why can he still have such a strong sense of oppression? !

Eitaro hasn't been so long...No, it should be said that he didn't dare to take the gun and come forward to take Ogata's life.

Neither dare to advance nor retreat.

"Aren't you here?"

Ogata asked.

"If you don't come, then I will pass."

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, Keitaro felt a flower in front of him.

Ogata, who was still standing a few steps away, had already appeared before his eyes.

laugh!

The sound of the blade cutting away the flesh ~www.wuxiahere.com~Half of Keitaro's waist was cut open.

Ogata's knife path covered Keitaro's waist with extreme precision.

The direction is unbiased.

No more, no less.

Ogata felt it clearly.

I felt the moment when Keitaro's spirit would relax.

After sensing the moment when Eitaro became slack, Ogata caught Eitaro's flaw that lasted only a moment, mobilized the power in every corner of his body, and burst out with the same power as he was in his heyday. In front of him, and then cut half of his waist with a knife--this is what Ogata did just now.
