I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: wow la la la la...

The wind and rain that seemed to be restrained, poured on the "coke head" until it was separated from the body, and the frantic smile did not dissipate.

The moment when Toyotomi's head landed, the shreds of meat that had been wriggling on his body just now dissipated.

No more shredded meat came out to repair the body.

Didn't see Toyotomi again and got up from the ground again.

Ogata had been holding his breath just now, fighting with Toyotomi to the end.

Now, looking at Toyotomi's dead body that was finally silent, the nerves in Ogata's mind that had been tense all the time finally loosened.

- It's over... it's over...

The moment when the tense nerves were released, intense tiredness rushed towards Ogata like an electric current.

The strength blessing brought by Yasha Maru also happened to disappear at this moment.

Just after exiting the "Yaksha Situation", the exhaustion wrapped around Ogata's limbs and bones immediately increased exponentially.

And dissipated at the same moment, there is also the "transparent realm"... or in other words: the integration with the world.

The world in his eyes returned to normal. Can no longer clearly see the track of the wind and rain.

In my ears... I can no longer hear those strange "sounds".

(Ding! The host merges with the world!)

(I am you and I am the world.)

Recalling the system sound that sounded in his mind just now, and the words "Ogata Yoshi" said to him, Ogata couldn't help feeling an epiphany.

It turned out that the name "Transparent Realm" that he and Yuan Yi came up with was really inappropriate and outrageous.

It's not that the world has become transparent to them.

But they are integrated with the world, they can see the trajectory of the world's operation clearly, and they can also borrow... the power of the world!

Ogata tried to call "Ogata Yoshiki" in his heart.

But no matter how he called... the voice of "Ogata Yoshi" no longer sounded in his mind.

Seeing that the voice of "Ogata Yoshi" no longer sounded, Ogata's heart felt a bit of loneliness for no reason...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Ogata recovered from the state of epiphany when he felt the cold touch coming from the back of his feet.

He lowered his head and looked - the wreck under his feet was almost swallowed by the sea, and the water had already submerged his feet.

— Gotta… try to get out of here quickly…

Ogata took Dashatian back to the scabbard, clutching his scorched right arm that no longer had blue smoke wafting out, and turned his eyes to see if there were any suitable size boards that could help him get back to the shore, or if there was any other capable party. Something that comes in handy.

But at this moment—the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something with a bright color.

Turning his head to look - it turned out to be the brocade box containing 800 bhikkhunis.

After Toyotomi ate the flesh of the head of the eight hundred bhikhunis, he threw the head back into the brocade box.

So if you look around, you can see the extremely broken head of the eight hundred bhikhunis "riding" on the brocade box, floating gently with the seawater that has already come up.

Looking at this unrecognizable head, Sisi climbed Ogata's eyes with pity.

Ogata, Toyotomi, and the others just absorbed the "immortal power" suppressed by "Kanruomaru", and they became "monsters" that ordinary people can't reach.

It is hard to imagine how powerful the 800 bhikkhunis with the most orthodox and comprehensive "immortal power" were in their lifetime.

He clearly bears such a terrifying power, but he never thought of relying on this power to harm the world and willingly live in the shadow of history.

Even if he commits suicide, he just chooses to go through the last journey of his life peacefully in a remote little cave in his hometown.

Such an indomitable woman was used by Toyotomi as a tool to realize her ambition after her death, and her body was cut into thousands of pieces for "immortal experiments".

The only head left... also became this **** appearance.

Looking at the heads of the eight hundred bhikkhunis who were about to drift away, Ogata didn't hesitate - dragging his trembling body in the direction of the brocade box.

After dragging his body to the side of the brocade box, Ogata leaned down, gently closed the brocade box, and then clamped the brocade box under his arm.

"Wait...Ogata Yoshiki..."

It was like a thunderclap on the ground—after Ogata clamped the brocade box containing the heads of eight hundred bhikkhunis under his arm, a... was very familiar to Ogata, but because he heard this voice a long time ago, So a slightly unfamiliar male voice came from behind Ogata.

Hearing the male voice that suddenly sounded behind him, Ogata was stunned for a while, then calmed down and turned around slowly.

After seeing the face of the owner of the voice clearly, a complex expression spread across Ogata's cheeks.

Standing in front of Ogata was a young man of the same age as Ogata, with a sword with a yellow handle and a red sheath on his waist.

The young man's physical condition at this time...the same as Ogata—weakness visible to the naked eye.

His left arm had been severed at the elbow, and a white strip was firmly tied to his left shoulder to prevent blood loss.

In addition, he also had dozens of large or small burns on his body.

His cheeks were pale from pain and blood loss, as if they had been coated with white powder.

But even though his body was broken, the young man still straightened his waist and stared at Ogata with eyes full of hatred.

Prajna - People from Toyotomi's clan will call him that when they see this young man.

But after seeing this young man... Ogata would only call him that—

"...Itagaki, seeing you here, I don't know why, it really doesn't surprise me at all..."

This young man... Or: Prajna, when Ogata was still an unnamed and poor samurai in the Hirose Domain, he was killed by Ogata in the "Worship of God and Martial Arts", a loyal follower of Toyama - Itagaki Seven. Goro!

At this moment, Ogata was surprised to see this "old friend" who had been separated for a long time suddenly appear in front of him, but he was not very surprised.

This is because I met the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Museum in Osaka last night: Ishikawa Soldier, the old owner said to Ogata: Several disciples headed by Itagaki in their sword museum avenged Yuanshan's murder. , Leaving the sword hall, leaving the feudal state, and tracing the traces of Ogata everywhere.

"Ha...hahaha..." Itagaki smiled happily, "Ogata Yoshiki...you have...today...I chose to serve for... Toyotomi-sama...it really was the right choice..."

Every time he looked at Ogata's bruised body, the joy on Itagaki's face grew stronger.

Previously, after receiving the task of "signaling to Venerable Xianyuan for him" from Toyotomi, Itagaki faithfully performed this task without any hesitation or doubt.

For all tasks related to "Kill Ogata", Itagaki has an almost limitless enthusiasm.

His task was completed almost perfectly - after seeing Toyotomi raising his pierced left palm high, he immediately pulled the firework lead in his hand and reported the message to Master Xianyuan in the ammunition depot.

Then it was blown into the sky.

Miraculously, Itagaki was not seriously injured.

It's just that there are some insignificant burns on his body, and his left arm was crushed by some heavy object that collapsed.

When Itagaki woke up, it was the moment when Ogata had already knocked down Toyotomi with the "Thunder Sword".

After seeing the scene where Ogata cut off Toyotomi's head from a distance, the expression on Itagaki's face quickly changed.

Ogata is now covered in injuries, his condition is visibly poor, and he can't even stand.

If he doesn't show up now to stop Ogata, he's probably going to run away.

If he runs away... I really don't know when to look for him in the future.

And even if he is fortunate enough to find him again in the future... can he still be so choked up as he is now?

Now... I'm afraid it's his best, and at the same time, only chance to avenge Ogata!

Itagaki, who had made such a judgment in his heart, was stunned - in order to get out of the heavy object that was pressing on his left arm as soon as possible, he drew his sword and chopped off his left arm!

The complicated emotions on Ogata's face had now dissipated.

After regaining his composure, he quietly looked at Itagaki who was laughing happily.

"...I met your master Ishikawa soldiers and horses in Osaka last night."

Ogata's words stopped Itagaki's laughter slowly.

This time, a complicated expression appeared on Chang Itagaki's face.

"After you left the Hirose Domain, your master immediately closed the sword hall and went everywhere to find you."

"Your master asked me to tell you something after seeing you: I, a master, left my hometown alone, regardless of my age, just to get you back, and I ate a lot for this. To suffer, even for the sake of being a teacher, hurry back to Hirose Domain..."

"Shut up!"

Before Ogata could finish his words, it was interrupted by Itagaki with a roar.

"How much time and effort do you think I spent to get the chance to avenge you now!"

Itagaki, whose face was full of sternness, swung his right arm.

"The few people who followed me to leave the vassal state and seek your revenge against Senior Brother Yuanshan are all a bunch of useless people who gave up halfway!"

"Not long after I left the Hirose Domain, I was the only one who insisted on seeking revenge for you!"

"I paid countless hardships to finally meet Mr. Toyotomi by chance, and I saw the hope of finding you and avenging you from Mr. Toyotomi who was also chasing you!"

"Hahahahaha! More than ten days ago, I heard your voice and saw Sakakihara's swordsmanship at the 'big trial match' in Osaka. I was so happy that I almost fainted!"

The fierceness on Itagaki's face became more and more intense.

"Senior Brother Yuanshan's revenge has not yet been avenged!"

"How can I just go back to my hometown like this!"

After saying that, Itagaki pulled out the treasured sword that Toyotomi had bestowed upon him.

Ogata saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything.

Only quietly... pulled out Da Shitian who had just retracted into the sheath.

"Come on!" Itagaki shouted, "Ogata Yoshiki! Let's make a break!"

Is there any way to defeat Ogata, who has been hit so hard?

Itagaki didn't know.

He only knew that if he missed it now, he would have almost no chance to find the best chance to avenge the distant mountains.

In this way, it is enough to constitute a reason for him at this moment to draw a sword and rush to Ogata desperately!

Itagaki stepped on the sea water and ran towards Ogata.

When they were two feet apart, he switched the knife in his hand to the upper stance.

Ogata did not move.

He just casually spread his feet, stood still, held Da Shitian with both hands, and held Da Shitian in front of him in a mid-section stance.

The two passed by—

puff...

The dull sound of the body being cut off sounded at the moment when the two missed each other...

Itagaki followed the momentum of the forward charge, passed Ogata, took a few steps forward, and collapsed softly to the ground.

On the other hand, Ogata-maintained the stance of slashing out, standing still.

A string of blood beads left on the tip of the sword was splashed by raindrops and rolled into the sea water at Ogata's feet.

"Cough...cough...!" Itagaki coughed hard.

Every time he coughed, a handful of blood was thrown from his mouth.

On the vital part of his waist and abdomen, a huge incision opened slowly like a blooming flower.

Itagaki, who felt as if his entire waist had been cut open, felt that it was difficult for his lower body to move.

And this kind of "numbness" that his body couldn't move was rapidly spreading from his lower body to all parts of his body.

"Yuanshan...Senior Brother..."

A voice like a gossamer came out from Itagaki's lips, which had lost its blood color.

"Sorry... in the end... I still couldn't... cut Ogata Yasushi for you with my own hands..."

"But ah... I'm not... I don't have any achievements at all..."

Itagaki struggled to raise his head and cast a mocking look at Ogata behind him.

"Although he didn't hit...he...but he has...the energy to consume him...!"

"Hahahaha...Ogata Yoshiki...If I can make you... buried in the belly of a fish...I don't count... revenge failed...!"

"Hahahahahaha...!"

Itagaki seemed to concentrate all his strength between his lips, tongue and throat, and smiled forcefully.

Laugh, laugh.

Laughed until the laughter got weaker and weaker...

Laughed until the laughter stopped abruptly...

Laughing until... Itagaki's head drooped with rounded eyes and a smile on his cheeks, no life...

Ogata looked back and glanced at Itagaki, whose vitality had been broken, and slowly retracted Dashaten into the scabbard.

Holding the brocade box containing the heads of eight hundred bhikkhunis, he just took a step forward—

"Well…!"

Ogata's brows were instantly wrinkled, and there was only pain and fatigue between his brows.

The brief duel with Itagaki just now did not cause any further trauma to his body.

But the knife he slashed towards Itagaki... but it drained the last bit of his remaining strength...

Ogata now only feels like his limbs are out of control, and he can't even lift them up.

Not only has the body lost control, but even the consciousness has begun to detach from the mind.

Thump - Ogata, who was holding the brocade box, collapsed into the sea water that had already reached his ankles in a face-down position, making a crisp sound of "thump".

—Wake up…! Now...isn't the time to sleep...!

Ogata bit his tongue again.

But no matter how he bites, the pain can no longer revive his consciousness, and his limbs regain control.

Not to mention consciousness and limbs, he can't even control his eyelids now.

No matter how much he struggled, the heavier and heavier eyelids still fell...

—I can’t… just fall asleep like this…

Goo-dong, goo-dong, goo-dong...

The next moment when his eyelids completely fell and his field of vision became pitch black, Ogata heard the "co-dong" and "co-dong" sound of sea water wrapping his body around him...

This was the last voice Ogata heard when his consciousness was completely cut off.

…

…

on the coast—

"Asai-senpai! Can this board be used as a boat?" Shimada asked loudly to Asai next to him.

"Of course it's impossible! A plank like this will sink into the sea as soon as you step on it!"

On the coast, A-cho and the others were looking for things that could help them cross the sea.

After seeing Hikari Maru's sudden explosion, even A-machi and Asai couldn't keep their composure any longer.

Eager to know what happened to the ship, what happened to Ogata and the others, driven by their anxiety, they searched for things on the shore that could help them cross the sea.

It's just a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people. Naturally, they don't have the ability to cross the sea directly holding a large board, so they can only look for things that can be used as boats.

But on such a desolate beach, how could it be possible to find anything that could be used as a boat?

So A-machi and the others, who were looking for something that could be used, have found nothing until now.

While everyone was still busy with anxious expressions—

"Ah! Look! It's Mr. Makimura! Mr. Makimura is back!"

Azhu suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted in an excited tone.

Hearing Azhu's shouting, A-Ming, Asai and the others immediately looked shocked, and quickly raised their heads and followed the direction Azhu pointed.

On the sea, the tall Makura was paddling a small canoe, heading straight for the coast.

Looking at it in detail - in addition to Makimura, there are Lin and Yuanyi on the canoe. Both of them seemed to be asleep at this time, with their eyes tightly closed.

Aside from Mucun, Lin, and Yuanyi, there were no other people on the boat...

A-Ming and the others rushed to the shore desperately. Before Makimura came to shore, Asai took the lead in raising his voice and asked Makimura loudly:

"Makimura! Mamiya still has Ichitosai?!"

Makimura had long expected that when he returned to the shore, he would be questioned like this by everyone, and quickly recounted the scenes that happened on the ship with a calm face.

When he and Makimura fled with Lin and Yuan, they quickly grabbed two escape boats from Rihui Maru, and prepared to return to the shore by the boat.

And not long after they escaped from Rihuimaru in the boat... Rihuimaru, which suddenly exploded, almost overturned the boat under them.

Ogata...but still on Hikari Maru.

So, after seeing the explosion of Hikari Pill, Mamiya made a decisive decision - let Makimura take Rin and Genichi, who had fainted due to his injuries at that time, back to the shore. He turned back alone and checked Ogata's side. Condition.

He knew that someone would have to take Lin and Yuanyi back to Mucun on the shore first. He didn't bother with Mamiya. After answering "I know" to Mamiya, he split up with Mamiya soldiers. After bringing Lin and Yuan back to the shore to ensure the safety of the two, he came back to help find Ogata who was swallowed by the explosion.

Looking at A-cho and the others, who were all injured for some reason, Makimura was full of doubts.

But now is not the time to ask questions slowly.

After handing Rin and Genichi to A-cho and others, Makimura immediately turned the boat's head and prepared to return to the "fireball" that was still burning.

"Wait a minute!" When Makimura was about to start again, A-Ming stopped him, "I'll go with you!"

"No!" Makimura refused without hesitation.

After he glanced at A-ding's awkward standing position, which was not stable even after being injured several times, he said sternly:

"Miss A-Ting, you are already injured, so it is not appropriate to go to sea with me."

"And the ship is very small. If one more person comes up, the speed will be reduced, and it will be easy to delay the time."

"Leave it to me."

Makimura clapped the oars in his hands with a firm light in his eyes.

"Ogata-san is also my brother."

"I will definitely bring Ogata-san back to safety!"

After hearing Makimura's reasoned refusal to go with her, as well as the persuasion of Azu and others, A-machi, who bit her lower lip, finally gave up the idea of ​​going with Makimura to Ogata.

wow... la... la... la la... la...

The thick dark clouds of the torrential rain had been pouring down the entire sea just now, but at this moment, he finally seemed to be tired and slowly stopped the rain.

Along with the rain, the winds, raging waves, and thunder were also slowly contained.

The majestic heavy rain slowly turned into moderate rain, light rain, and finally - no drop of water fell.

And the tight dark cloud that has been separating the sky and the earth has finally dispersed.

It was in the evening.

I saw those black clouds scattered and wandered in the clean sky after the heavy rain.

The unique dark red glow of the evening shone from behind the clouds, giving each dark cloud a red edge, making them black, looking a bit more coquettish.

Even the dark clouds could throw a layer of red sunset glow, but they couldn't dye the pale cheeks of A-Machi, who was standing on the shore like a helpless child.
