I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Let's fight one-on-one." Ogata said to the samurai who sexually harassed Ah Fu just now, "You are a disciple of Ishikawa Sword Academy, and I am a disciple of Sakakibara Sword Academy."

"Since we are both sword practitioners, let's use the sword to speak."

"If I win, please apologize to the lady who was harassed by you just now."

"Then what if you lose?" the warrior who sexually harassed Ah Fu asked back in a deep voice.

"Ah."

The corner of Ogata's mouth curved into a mocking arc.

"Wait until you really have the ability to defeat me."

Ogata's extremely arrogant words turned the warrior's face into a liver color.

With a sullen face, the warrior silently pulled out his cuffs and tied up his sleeves.

And Ogata also pulled out the cuff belt he carried with him, and tied up his sleeves.

Canglanglang...

Ogata slowly pulled out his sword.

Then put the knife drawn out of the scabbard at his feet, and then draw out the scabbard of the knife.

"What are you doing?" The samurai who was still tying his sleeves with cuffs frowned.

"If you fight with a real sword and kill someone, it will be a big trouble for you and me."

"You should also know how troublesome it will be if someone dies in the competition, right?"

"So—in order to avoid trouble, let's compete with the scabbard."

After finishing speaking, Ogata raised the scabbard in his hand, and took a mid-section posture.

"Anyway, no matter whether you use a real knife or a scabbard, the strong are still strong, and the weak are still weak."

"...Hum." The samurai who sexually harassed Ah Fu silently pulled out the sword from his waist, and then handed it to his companions for safekeeping, while he pulled out the scabbard himself, like Ogata, holding the sword in his hand. Hold the scabbard and hold the mid-section posture.

"Itagaki Shichigoro, come on." The samurai reported himself.

"Ogata Yishi, join us." And Ogata also followed closely and reported his family.

...

...

There are already many people who came to watch the excitement.

And these people are basically customers who were still eating and drinking in the floating house just now.

After learning that Ogata was going to fight against the man named Itagaki, everyone in the Liu house couldn't care less about eating and drinking, and hurriedly put down all the food and drinks on hand, and rushed outside to watch the excitement.

One-on-one duels between warriors—this is a rare sight, so most of the people are watching with great interest.

And consciously set aside a circular heads-up venue for Ogata and the others to use.

Among the onlookers, only 2 people looked sad.

These two people are Saki and Afu.

Although Ogata and the others used scabbards instead of real swords in their duels, even with scabbards, there was a risk of injury.

Ah Fu really wanted to shout loudly again, telling Ogata not to engage in any more duels.

But now the battle has begun, and both Ogata and Itagaki have already set their positions.

Ah Fu was afraid that if he made a sound suddenly, it might cause Ogata's distraction, so he could only close his lips tightly.

Even his own breathing slowed down, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Looking anxiously at the tense heads-up arena in front of him.

...

...

Itagaki was the one who launched the first attack.

Although he is nothing more than a pervert who will harass others.

But Ogata had to admit that this person's swordsmanship was still somewhat advanced.

After only a few moves, Xuren keenly judged that - Itagaki's strength was good, far above his junior brother Muye.

The swordsmanship taught by Ishikawa Kenkan is the famous Katori Shinto style.

Therefore, the sword technique used by Itagaki is naturally also the sword technique of Katori Shinto style.

Ogata didn't have much experience fighting swordsmen of the Katori Shinto style.

So far, Ogata has basically only fought with his brothers who are also disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym.

Therefore, Ogata only has rich experience in fighting swordsmen of Sakakibara's swordsmanship.

Almost no experience in fighting swordsmen of the Katori Shinto style.

But—even if he doesn't have experience fighting swordsmen of the Katori Shinto style, it doesn't prevent Ogata from defeating his opponent.

The reason why Ogata said such a lot of sarcasm just now was not just for the sake of quick tongue.

Long before the fight, Ogata was paving the way for his victory.

The reason why he said such a lot of sarcasm just now was just to make the opponent's heart agitated.

Let the opponent—that is, Itagaki fail to maintain a calm heart to fight Ogata.

Ogata's strategy was very successful.

Stimulated by Ogata's taunt just now, Itagaki's mentality was visibly disturbed.

It is impossible to maintain a calm mind to choose the appropriate attacking timing, attacking method, and attacking angle.

In terms of strength, according to Ogata's estimation - this Itagaki should be about the same as him.

If both of them maintain a calm state of mind, it is still unknown who will win.

But now Itagaki's heart is disturbed.

Who has the upper hand at the moment - it's obvious.

...

...

Itagaki slashed at Ogata's shoulder with the high-raised scabbard.

And Ogata took half a step back without panic, so that he could just dodge Itagaki's slash.

Ogata was not in a hurry to attack.

Just keep defending or dodging Itagaki

Itagaki's heart was not quiet at all.

The delay in hitting Ogata made Itagaki's heart even more confused.

While the whole person became frizzy, the attacks gradually became more and more chaotic.

Ogata kept defending or dodging, constantly consuming Itagaki's physical strength.

At the same time, Itagaki's heart became more and more chaotic.

As long as a person's physical strength declines and his mentality is unstable, various flaws will continue to appear.

Like - now.

After Itagaki made the chop just now, he didn't know whether his arms were sore or his body was tired. In short, his feet that were originally firmly on the ground became unstable.

Ogata had been waiting for this moment.

Adjusting his breathing, stepping in, narrowing the distance between himself and Itagaki, flexing and stretching his upper body, splitting the scabbard in his hand from bottom to top—Ogata's movements were done in one go, like flowing water.

The sword technique used by Ogata is exactly the climbing tower of Sakakibara Ittoryu.

The tip of the sheath raised from bottom to top precisely focused on Itagaki's right shoulder.

Ogata's original intention was to teach this guy who harassed Ah Fu a lesson, and to ask this guy to apologize to Ah Fu obediently.

Didn't want to hurt or kill him.

So Ogata's climb to the tower was actually restrained, and he also controlled the direction of his attack.

If Ogata is willing, Ogata can aim at Itagaki's chin and slash hard.

But if he did this, Itagaki might be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

So Ogata only aimed at Itagaki's right shoulder, holding back his strength, and just hurt him.

"Well!"

Itagaki let out a cry of pain, staggered a few steps backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

And the moment Itagaki fell to the ground, the system sound began to sound in Ogata's mind.
