I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The word "Shi Tian" is engraved on the blade of the knife.

On Wakizashi's sword, the word "Freedom" is engraved.

Looking at the words engraved on the blades of these two knives, Ogata immediately understood what was going on with these two knives and where A-Machi got them.

——Is this... the sword made by Zonghai's teacher, Jinghai, using their Tian Xiangzong's sword casting method...

Ogata lowered his eyes and carefully looked at Da Shitian in his hand.

The blade has a large arc in the shape of a willow leaf, and it is done in one go. Both the smoothness of the blade and the tension of the slightly narrower blade are impeccable. The edge of the blade emits a clear blue light.

The wavy blade pattern shows awe-inspiring aura. There is a tight wood-grain texture on the knife surface, and the silver sand-like boiling point pattern is also clearly visible.

Da Shi Tian is slightly longer than the average Da Dao.

Most common knives have a blade length between 60cm and 70cm.

It is quite rare to have a knife with a blade length longer than 70cm.

As for the Da Shitian in Ogata's hand, the length of the blade is about 75cm according to Ogata's visual inspection.

Not only is the Dashiten longer than ordinary swords, but the Daziza that is hanging on Ogata's waist is also longer than the usual wakizashi.

Although the sheath has not been pulled out, according to the naked eye, the blade length of Dazizao should be around 55cm.

Although I haven't had time to use these two knives against the enemy, and I don't know the quality of these two knives, but Ogata is very satisfied with the shape and length of these two knives.

Although Ogata's stature cannot be compared with those freaks like Mucun and Kazumi who didn't know what to eat, but compared with most people in this era, he is still very tall.

Therefore, Da Shitian and Da Zizai, which are longer than ordinary swords, are suitable for Ogata, who is taller than most people.

——Konnosuke, let me borrow your sword.

After muttering silently in his heart, Ogata raised Da Shitian in his hand, and aimed the sharp knife point at Yichun whose face was as dark as a lump of charcoal.

"Monk,

Let's get on with it! "

"This battle is almost over."

After saying that, Ogata raised his left hand and pulled out the Wakizashi stuck in his left waist in one go.

Da Zizai is the same as Da Shitian - the blade has a large arc and has a wavy blade pattern.

"...Arrogant bastard!" Yichun said in a deep voice, "It's just that you have 2 new knives! Do you think that with 2 new knives, you can beat me at once?!"

As soon as the words fell, Kazumi raised his big naginata towards his upper right——it was the opening gesture of "Spinning Top".

In order not to cause trouble to Ogata, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, A-Machi has silently retreated to a safe place where he will never be implicated.

Faced with Kazun who had set up the "top" gesture, he did not change his mood, but silently raised the Da Shitian and Da Zizai in his hands slowly.

Slightly squinting his eyes, he looked straight at Yichun in front of him, not letting go of any of Yichun's next actions.

"Go to hell!"

With Kazun's loud shout, the sound of the sharp blade cutting through the air that was enough to make one's scalp tingle exploded.

Kazumi spun his feet like a giant spinning top.

The feet drive the waist, the waist drives the right arm, and the right arm drives the big naginata in the hand.

While turning his body and the naginata, he approached Ogata like a tornado.

In just one breathless time, Kazumi killed Ogata.

Ogata only silently looked at Kazuki who was approaching him with a huge momentum in front of him, without dodging or dodging, he only waved the two knives in his hand, and went towards Yichun!

clang!

Ogata took Izumi's first cut effortlessly.

After the first knife was received by Ogata, Kazumi immediately relayed his strength, turned his body, swung the naginata in a circle, and then slashed at Ogata with a second knife that was far more powerful and faster than the first knife. Two swords.

clang!

After Ogata blocked Yichun's saber for the second time, both Ogata and Yichun looked at Da Shitian and Da Zizai in Ogata's hands as if they had agreed in advance.

The blades of both knives - intact.

After forcibly receiving one pure and two powerful horizontal cuts, even sparks came out, the blade was still intact, as if it had never been used.

Looking at the intact Da Shitian and Da Zizai, if Ogata's expression was one of astonishment mixed with surprise, then Kazun's expression was one of astonishment mixed with shock.

While his expression became heavy, he clenched his teeth even more, squeezed out all the strength in his body, and poured all the strength in his body into his right arm and the big naginata.

The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife...

Although his slashing power is higher than that of one stroke due to the power of Ichichun's relay, but for Ichichun's first six knives, Ogata was able to block them hard without changing his face.

But from the seventh cut, Ogata's expression gradually became serious.

clang! !

It was also from the seventh cut that the sound of metal and iron strikes had reached an almost deafening level.

After forcibly receiving the ninth knife, Ogata had already started to feel numbness and pain in his arms.

But Ogata still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Starting from the 9th cut, Ogata would take a few steps back every time he took the next cut.

The 10th knife, the 11th knife...

After Ogata took the 11th knife, the color of panic began to climb on Kazumi's cheek.

Others may not be clear, but Kazumi is quite clear - Ogata is the first person who can forcibly take so many knives from his "top".

Before Ogata, the highest record of the person who received the most knives from his "top" was only 9 knives.

Although Ogata was able to take so many knives from him, it was directly related to Kazumi himself who had suffered a lot of injuries and was in poor condition, but the opposite Ogata was also not in the best condition at this time.

What makes Kazumi panic is not only Ogata's strength, but also the two new knives in Ogata's hands.

Kazun only paid attention to the state of the two knives in Ogata's hands.

A large part of the reason why so many people failed to catch every knife of his "top" before was because the weapons in their hands were not good enough, and they were cut off by Yichun directly, resulting in the destruction of the knife.

And the two knives in Ogata's hands - after receiving the 12 knives from his "top", they are still intact, without even a gap on the blade.

This made Yichun couldn't help being shocked, and groaned in pain—what kind of swords are these two knives? !

However, apart from the look of panic, there was also a look of joy on Kazumi's face.

It was only because of Kazusumi that he could see that Ogata was about to be unable to withstand his attack.

After forcibly receiving his 11th knife, Ogata retreated a full two steps before he managed to stabilize his figure.

At the same time, Kazumi also noticed that Ogata's breathing became disordered, and his arms were trembling slightly.

All these signs of Ogata's body made it difficult for Kazumi to hide the excitement in his chest.

He can only perform 13 consecutive cuts so far.

After 13 consecutive slashes, Kazun would no longer be able to control the force he had used for more than ten times, so he had to stop.

Although there are only the last 2 knives left, Ogata's current appearance of being powerless still gives Kazun plenty of confidence.

With the last two knives, Ogata can definitely be cut in half - Kazumi believes so firmly.

After the naginata that was about to be parried for the 11th time circled in mid-air, Kazumi slashed Ogata for the 12th time.

clang! !

Ogata arranged Da Shitian and Da Zizai in an "X" shape, and opened Yichun's knife for the 12th time.

"Well……"

A low cry of pain escaped from between his clenched teeth.

Even though his feet were firmly on the ground, Ogata was still forced by the huge force from the naginata and had to take a few steps back to ease the impact.

And Ogata's posture also became unstable due to his continuous retreat.

Looking at Ogata's retreating action, which was bigger than ever before, the expression on Kazumi's face became ferocious and terrifying due to ecstasy.

——The 12th knife is almost overwhelmed! Let me see how you hold my 13th knife!

While thinking this way in his heart, Kazumi took a deep breath, turned the rebound force that was pushed away by Ogata into his own strength, and swung the "top" at Ogata's last and strongest 13 knives.

This time, Asaogata's oncoming naginata, the wind pressure and the power contained in it made A-Machi, who was hiding in a safe place to watch the battle, feel his hairs stand on end, and his goose bumps stand on end.

However——Ogata, who was facing Kazusumi's attack, didn't have any superfluous emotions on his face.

It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to Kazun's strongest blow at all.

It would be wrong to say that Ogata's face has no extra expression.

The slightly upturned corners of his mouth brought a smile to his cheeks.

It was a smile with a relaxed look.

Because——Kazumi didn't realize what was going to happen next, and didn't realize that Ogata had long thought of a defense method against his strongest blow.

Ogata did not directly erect the two knives in his hands as he did to block Kazumi's slash before.

Instead, he turned Da Shitian upside down, inserted it into the wooden floor under his feet, and then stepped on the back of the saber that had been pierced upside down into the wooden floor with his right foot. He lowered his body and hid his whole body behind the saber.

Ogata's special posture made Kazumi's pupils round directly.

After Ogata put on this posture, he instantly understood what Ogata was going to do.

However - it was too late.

His knife has been swung out, and it is impossible to take it back.

clang! !

The sound of gold and iron clashing exploded.

Kazun's big naginata collided heavily with Ogata's Dashiten, which was stuck upside down on the ground.

This time, Ogata didn't take a step back.

Ogata, who stuck Da Shitian upside down on the ground, turned the ground under his feet into his own weapon.

With the support of the hard ground, Ogata also stepped on the back of Da Shitian's sword with his right foot, which was equivalent to putting his whole body weight on the sword, strengthening his defense.

This is the defensive method that Ogata came up with just now when he received Xiachun's 11th knife.

Judging from the current actual combat situation - the record is remarkable.

Relying on this posture, Ogata successfully blocked Kazusumi's strongest blow, and blocked all the slashing attacks of the "top".

Although this defensive posture was tiring, Ogata felt his right foot supporting the back of the sword go numb.

Kazumi's mouth was already rounded with astonishment.

Before he recovered from the shock, Ogata had already launched his counterattack.

Quickly pulling up Da Shitian who was stuck upside down on the ground, Ogata rushed towards Yichun! Like an arrow that leaves the string.

This is the long-awaited counterattack opportunity for Ogata. Hard-to-follow Yichun's 13 consecutive cuts, just for this moment!

The reason why Ogata chose to hard-wire Kazuchun's "top". On the one hand, it is because in the face of the "top", it is difficult to avoid all of them by just stepping.

Another reason, and the main reason at the same time, is that after Yichun finished using the "top", his body will have a big flaw because he has not recovered from the continuous rotation.

Before, after seeing Kazumi's "top" with 8 consecutive slashes, Obi noticed this.

After using the "top" with 8 consecutive cuts, Kazuki staggered 2 steps before he stabilized his body.

Ordinary people might not notice this detail, but Ogata noticed it keenly, noticed Kazusumi's huge weakness.

That's why after receiving the Da Shitian and Da Zizai sent by A-Ming, Ogata chose to hard-wire the full version of "Spinning Top" by Kazuchun-just to exchange for this flaw of Kazuchun.

And Ogata's judgment was not wrong - after 13 consecutive cuts, Kazumi's huge body staggered and swayed because he hadn't recovered from the previous consecutive cuts, revealing huge flaws !

Without making any extra reservations, Ogata poured strength into his feet, and rushed to Kazumi at his fastest speed.

He ran to... where his knife could stab Kazuchun!

Kazun, who hadn't had time to adjust his body and state, had a look of despair in his eyes.

laugh!

Ogata stabbed Da Shitian and Da Zizai into Yichun's chest.

The blades of the twin knives pierced Kazun's chest and exited from his back.

"Wow!"

Yichun spat out big mouthfuls of blood.

Turning the two knives in his hand, after parrying the muscles that clamped the blade due to the severe pain, Ogata suddenly pulled the two knives out of Izumi's body, bringing out a splash of blood.

And after Ogata pulled out the knife, Kazumi knelt down on the ground as if he couldn't bear the severe pain.

After pulling out the double swords, Ogata did not stop attacking at this point, but raised the double swords high again, intending to make up for Kazuki in front of him.

However—at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Kazun suddenly let out a roar, perhaps because of his desire to survive, a powerful force burst out of his body, violently rose up, and rounded the big naginata in his hand, launching an extremely sharp downward slash at Ogata.

Ogata's pupils narrowed slightly, and he raised the Dazizai of his left hand to meet Kazumi's knife.

clang!

"Hahaha..." Yichun, whose mouth was full of blood, let out a sneer, "Go to hell with me..."

Although Ogata blocked Kazumi's strike, he did so with great difficulty.

With one foot half-kneeling on the ground, Kazumi's naginata was almost pressed against Ogata's neck, and it looked as if Ogata held the blade of the naginata on his shoulder.

If it wasn't for Ogata's timely defense with great freedom just now, then Ogata must have been decapitated just now.

"You guys are really stupid..." Although his voice had become weak due to his injuries, Kazumi still mocked Ogata, "If you used two knives to parry just now, maybe you can parry him perfectly Stop my attack."

"I can't help it." As soon as Yichun's words fell, Xufang smiled slightly, "After all——I have to save one hand to kill you."

Hearing Ogata's words, Kazumi's pupils suddenly shrank.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that Ogata had put Da Shitian into the scabbard at his left waist at an unknown time just now, and pressed his right hand on the handle of Da Shitian.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Yichun's face was full of panic at this time, "Forgive, spare my life..."

Before Yichun finished speaking, a cold light shot out from Da Shitian's scabbard.

The cold light swept from Yichun's right abdomen to his left shoulder from bottom to top!

While Izumi, who had turned into a blood man, slowly fell to the ground, Ogata lightly recited the move he had just given Ichichun a fatal blow.

"Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship...Raiki...!"
