Chapter 128 Where is the base of the Negishi family?
Ma Lian led his four men to stand in different positions and surrounded Ogata.
The five sharp wakizashi were pointed directly at Ogata while braving the cold light.
But——Ogata's reaction did not show surprise or fear as Ma Lian expected.
He just glanced at them expressionlessly.
It was as if he didn't take the five horse-faced people seriously.
"You don't seem to recognize me..." Ogata said softly.
"Ah?" Ma Lian twitched his lips, "Who do you think you are? Why should I recognize you?"
"It seems that you don't usually have the habit of reading wanted posters."
"Stop pretending!" Horse Face shouted, "I have seen too many ronin like you who only pretend to be pretentious!"
"Obviously, his swordsmanship is mediocre, but he still pretends to be a calm master, and in the end he is torn into pieces by us - we in the Negishi family have killed countless fools like this ronin!"
Past experience told Ma Lian that the young ronin in front of him was just like the ronin he had met before who could only talk. He pretended to be powerful, but when he actually moved his hands, he was...
Kill people quickly.
"You are still so arrogant when you are surrounded by 5 of us!" Ma Lian continued to shout, "Stop pretending! Can you still fight one against five?"
Hearing Ma Lian's question, an intriguing smile appeared on Ogata's face.
Then he said softly:
"You can come and give it a try."
"You're still pretending!" Ma Lian's expression became even more gloomy, "Fuck them all! Get rid of this pretentious ronin!"
As soon as Ma Lian finished speaking, his four men except Ma Lian immediately charged towards Ogata while waving their swords while making strange screams.
One of them didn't know whether he wanted to take credit or something else, but he rushed very fast.
Before the others could reach Ogata, this guy had already rushed to Ogata's right side.
Ogata's legs didn't even move.
He just turned his eyes slightly and glanced at the gangster on his right...who had entered his attack range.
With the left hand that has been pressed on the sheath opening, the thumb of the left hand is slightly tilted forward, against the tangent of the knife, and the blade of the knife is ejected from the sheath opening.
Then raise your right hand to hold the handle of the knife, turn your upper body with your left foot as the axis, and turn your upper body to your right side.
The force is transmitted from the left foot to the waist, and then to the right arm.
While turning your upper body to your right side, use the force coming from your left foot to draw the sword out of its sheath!
The light of the sword emerged from the scabbard, and then swept towards the neck of the gangster on the right like a whip.
The familiar feel of a sharp weapon penetrating into flesh, and the feel of a sharp weapon cutting through bones, spread along the handle of the knife to Ogata's palm.
The blade of the knife entered the gangster's right neck and then cut out from the left neck.
The sword light directly swept across the gangster's neck, and the gangster's head also flew out horizontally along with the sword light.
With a bang, his head hit the wall of a nearby thatched house, then bounced back and slowly rolled back to Ogata's feet.
Looking at the still-glaring head at Ogata's feet, the villagers of Sihe Village who were watching the battle tremblingly, as well as the gangsters headed by Ma Lian, all screamed in agony.
The other three gangsters who were about to rush into Ogata's body...or rather into Ogata's attack range quickly stopped.

"What's wrong?"
Ogata swung the sword downwards in his hand to shake off the blood attached to the sword, and asked Ma Fang and others in return.
"Didn't you say you wanted to kill me? You can't kill me if you stand so far away."
Ma Lian and his three subordinates who were still alive seemed to have been frightened by Ogata's sharp sword slash just now.
Everyone stood there blankly? Not sure whether to move forward or backward.
"Since you don't come over, then I will go over."
Having said that, Ogata took a step forward with the sword in hand.
Ogata just took a step forward, and the three surviving subordinates of Horse Face immediately screamed and fled in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, these three people disappeared from Ogata's sight.
Only one person, Ma Lian, was left stunned in place with a wonderful expression.
"'Yakuza' is 'Yakuza'. Morale collapsed immediately." Ogata curled his lips. "You guys can only bully the weak."
Ogata will not chase the three people who escaped.
After all - his target from beginning to end was just the man who stole his money.
"You are the only one left." Ogata cast an indifferent look at the horse's face. "I have said something ugly before - now even if you return my purse to me, I will not let you go."
After saying that, Ogata tightened his grip on the knife in his hand and walked quickly towards the horse's face.
"hateful!"
Looking at Ogata, who was quickly approaching him, Ma Lian was cursing, and he took out something like a meatball from his arms in a panic.
After taking out the "meatball", Ma Lian slammed the "meatball" hard on the ground.
The moment it hit the ground, the "ball" fell apart and turned into thick white mist.
The thick white mist dispersed in all directions, instantly blocking the sight of Ogata and the villagers of Sihe Village who were watching the battle.
The sudden change caused the villagers of Sihe Village to scream one after another.
"Damn it!" Ogata, who was unprepared for this sudden turn of events, waved his left hand to push away the white fog that obscured his sight. He quickly rushed to the place where the horse face was standing just now, and then slashed with his sword -
However, it only hit the air and white mist.
Where Ma Lian stood just now? There was only air and white mist left.
Ogata quickly found a direction, rushed out of the area covered by the white mist, and then moved his eyes to scan around.
There is no trace of the horse-faced figure at all.
"Damn...!" Ogata gritted his teeth, "You slipped away so fast!"
After a while, the white fog completely dissipated.
After the white fog cleared, Ogata asked the villagers in Sihe Village:
"Did anyone see which direction that bastard escaped just now?"
Upon hearing Ogata's question, the villagers in Sihe Village looked at each other.
No one answered Ogata's question.
The white fog just now shrouded the villagers in Sihe Village, making it impossible for them to see clearly which direction Ma Lian fled.
At the same time, the villagers in Sihe Village were frightened by the sudden white fog, so they kept screaming in surprise.
Because of the disturbance from the continuous screams, Ogata was unable to judge which direction Ma Lian had escaped based on the sound of Ma Lian's footsteps.
"Damn it!" Ogata yelled, taking out his pocket paper and wiping off the remaining blood beads and fat on the blade, and then sheathed the sword.
Although he had lost face, Ogata did not intend to let him go so easily.
"Hello!"
Ogata turned his head and looked at the villagers in Sihe Village.
"Does anyone know where the Negishi family's headquarters is?" He then asked the villagers in Sihe Village in a deep voice.
