I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata fastened his sleeves with cuff ties and said:

"Toyama Renrou of the Ishikawa Sword Gym is a very unreasonable person—exactly the same as the rumors say..."

"Heh." The corner of Yuan Shan's mouth twitched, and he sneered, "Thank you for the compliment. Thanks to my 'unreasonable', my brothers and sisters love me so much."

Although Toyama's unreasonable behavior, Ogata did not appreciate it very much.

But Ogata had to admit that there was some truth in what Toyama said just now.

When the younger brother was beaten, Yuan Shan immediately stood up for him, and immediately set off to avenge his younger brother - it would be strange if Yuan Shan's senior brothers didn't love Yuan Shan with such a righteous person backing him.

"Master Ogata!" Saki said urgently, "Are you still going to fight this person?"

"You can't do it if you don't fight." As soon as Ah Saki's voice fell, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a half-joking tone, "Miss Azaki, haven't you understood yet? I am in a situation where I have to fight now. If If I don't confront Yuan Shan, I will definitely have no peace tonight."

"Heh." Yuan Shan seemed to like to sneer, "Are you very knowledgeable about current affairs? Thanks to your knowledge of current affairs, we have saved us a lot of trouble."

"If you insist on not fighting me, we have to spend some time to force you to fight me."

At this moment, Yuan Shan just fastened his cuffs.

The moment he fastened his cuffs, Yuan Shan turned his head and shouted to the junior beside him:

"Bring the sword!"

As soon as Yuan Shan's words fell, the junior beside him immediately handed over the two wooden swords that had been prepared.

"Next." After receiving the two wooden swords, Toyama casually threw one of them to Ogata.

"You guys are quite careful." Ogata, who took the wooden sword thrown from Yuanshan, waved it casually a few times to make sure that his wooden sword was in hand, "I know that the wooden sword is ready in advance."

After all, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the wooden sword in his hand, Xu was too lazy to talk to Yuan Shan.

Hold the hilt of the wooden sword tightly with both hands, and take a mid-section stance.

"Ogata Yishi, come on."

The distant mountains on the opposite side also set up a mid-section posture.

"Anyone from Yuanshan, join me."

The guests in the flow room filed out again at this time.

To be able to see two consecutive samurai duels that are rarely seen in one night - the guests of Liuwu, don't mention how excited they are.

Ah Saki and Ah Fu saw that they had no way to stop this competition, so they could only keep their mouths tightly shut as before, looking nervously at the "battlefield" where the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense.

...

...

The moment Yuan Shan put on the mid-section posture, Xu could easily see that Yuan Shan was very strong.

And not generally strong.

In terms of strength, it is far above the Banyuan he just dealt with.

After both of them put on the mid-section posture, the two had been deadlocked for a long time.

However—even after such a long stalemate, Ogata couldn't see any flaws in Toyama's body.

The distant mountain is like an unshakable mountain - this is Ogata's truest thought at this time.

It was the first time he met such a strong enemy, so Ogata couldn't help but cheer up.

His eyes were fixed on the distant mountain opposite, and he didn't even dare to blink more.

——Do you want me to launch the first attack...

Ogata secretly planned a countermeasure in his own mind.

——If you want to launch the first attack... it's better to use "Dragon Tail" to test it first...

——How strong Yuanshan is, this kind of thing is unknown.

——so to be on the safe side, you still have to test it first...

The tip of a wooden sword magnified rapidly in Ogata's eyes.

This wooden sword, which was rapidly enlarged in his eyes, directly interrupted Ogata's thoughts.

Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly in astonishment, and then subconsciously raised the wooden sword in his hand.

Snapped!

A dull sound exploded.

The sword that Ogata raised in time blocked the sword stabbed by the distant mountain.

--So fast!

——When did Yuan Shan launch the stabbing attack!

Ogata can assure you - he never blinked or relaxed just now.

I have been staring at the distant mountains with tense nerves and concentrated attention.

Even so, Ogata's eyes couldn't keep up with Toyama's speed.

After dangerously parrying Yuan Shan's sword, Ogata had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when Yuan Shan's next attack came.

After the sword in his hand was blocked by Ogata, Toyama quickly withdrew the sword in his hand, then took advantage of the situation and switched to the upper stance, swinging the sword towards Ogata's shoulder.

Snapped!

Another dull sound exploded.

Ogata blocked Toyama's attack again.

However, Ogata's defense this time was more dangerous than the previous one.

--Oops!

Ogata shouted anxiously in his heart.

——My rhythm was completely disrupted by Yuanshan! Being led by the nose by the distant mountains!

- You have to readjust your posture!

——If you don't adjust your posture quickly, you will...

Ogata hadn't had time to utter the word "lose" in his heart.

Yuan Shan's third wave of attack has arrived.

What Toyama used this time was his straight thrust that was too fast for Ogata's eyes to follow.

Yuan Shan's speed is really too fast.

When Ogata blocked it for the first time, there was some element of luck in it.

But this time... Lady Luck didn't take care of Ogata.

Boom!

Ogata, who didn't have time to block Yuan Shan's stab, was firmly pierced by Yuan Shan's sword point in the chest.

If it was a real sword competition, Ogata, who was stabbed in the chest, should have died.

After taking a few steps back, Ogata had already fallen to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ogata's left hand, which was not holding the sword, tightly covered the place where he was stabbed just now, coughing violently.

Ah Saki and Ah Fu: "Master Ogata!"*2

Ah Saki and Ah Fu called Ogata's name in unison, then rushed up to check Ogata's injury.

"I'm fine..." Ogata said in a deep voice lying on the ground.

"Ah."

Yuan Shan let out his signature sneer, and then slowly retracted the sword he stabbed just now.

At the same time, he said in a mocking tone:

"Are the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym only at this level?"

As soon as Yuan Shan's words fell, the group of brothers behind him immediately laughed out loud in extremely cooperative manner.

Especially Chigengaki who was defeated by Ogata just now, and his three companions laughed the loudest, as if they wanted to dislocate their jaws.

The onlookers who were watching the excitement also heard a few low laughter.

Although Ogata was not instantly killed by Toyama just now, it was almost as good as an instant kill.

From the time when the two swords came together to the end of the battle, only a few seconds passed.

Losing in just a few seconds - this is really embarrassing in the eyes of the onlookers who don't know swordsmanship.

"let's go!"

Seeing that he had successfully avenged his junior brother, Yuan Shan yelled "Let's go" arrogantly, then turned around and prepared to go back with his senior brothers.

As for the wooden sword given to Ogata—they didn't bother to take it back either.

However——Yuan Shan and the others had just turned around when a deep voice sounded behind them:

"Wait for me... who said... you won?"
