Chapter 20 The Showdown between Ogata and Toyama (2)
Ogata tightened his sleeves with cuff tape and said:
"Renichiro Toyama of the Ishikawa Kenkan is a very unreasonable person - exactly as the rumors say..."
"Ha." Yuan Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Thank you for the compliment. Thanks to my 'unreasonableness', my fellow brothers love me so much."
Although Ogata didn't appreciate Toyama's unreasonable behavior very much.
But Ogata had to admit - there is some truth in what Toyama just said.
When his junior brother was beaten, Yuan Shan immediately stood up for him and set out to avenge his junior brother. With such a righteous person supporting him, it would be strange if Yuan Shan's junior brothers didn't love Yuan Shan.
"Lord Ogata!" Asaki on the side said anxiously, "Do you still want to fight with this person?"
"We can't do it without fighting." As soon as Asaki finished speaking, Oufang twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a half-joking tone, "Miss Asaki, don't you understand? I am in a situation where I have to fight now. If
If I don’t fight Yuan Shan, I will definitely have no peace tonight.”
"Ha." Yuan Shan seemed to like to sneer, "Are you very aware of current affairs? Thanks to your knowledge of current affairs, you have saved us a lot of trouble."
"If you insist not to fight me, we will have to spend some effort to force you to fight me."
At this moment, Yuanshan just tied up his sleeves.
The moment after he fastened his cuffs, Yuanshan turned his head and shouted to his junior brother beside him:
"Bring me the sword!"
As soon as Yuan Shan finished speaking, the junior brother beside him immediately handed over the two wooden swords that had been prepared.
"Go on." After taking the two wooden swords, Toyama casually threw one of them to Ogata.
"You are quite careful." Ogata received the wooden sword thrown from the distant mountains and waved it casually a few times to confirm whether his wooden sword was in his hand. "I knew to prepare the wooden sword in advance."
Having said that, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the wooden sword in his hand, Oufang didn't bother to talk to Toyama anymore.
Hold the hilt of the wooden sword tightly with both hands and assume a mid-section stance.
"Ogata Yishi, please refer to the above."
The distant mountains on the opposite side are also in a mid-section posture.
"Renichiro Yuanshan, come up."
The guests in the floating room filed out again at this time.
Not to mention how excited I was to be able to see two samurai duels in a row in one night, which was rarely seen in ordinary times - the guests of the Ryuya.
Asaki and Afu saw that they had no way to stop this competition from proceeding, so they could only close their mouths tightly like before, looking nervously at the "battlefield" where the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense.
…
…
The next moment Yuan Shan took up his mid-level stance, Oufang could see that Yuan Shan was very strong.
And it's not generally strong.
In terms of strength, he was far superior to the Itagaki he had just dealt with.
After both of them got into the middle stance, the two of them had been in a stalemate for a long time.
However - even after such a long stalemate, Ogata could not see any flaws in Toyama's body.
The distant mountains are like an unshakable mountain - this is Ogata's truest thought at this time.
Meeting such a powerful enemy for the first time made Ogata feel very energetic.
His eyes were fixed on the distant mountains opposite, not even daring to blink.
——Do you want me to launch the first attack...
Ogata secretly planned countermeasures in his heart.
——If you want to launch a first attack...it's better to test it with "Dragon Tail" first...
——It is not yet known how strong the distant mountains are.
——So to be on the safe side, we still have to test it first...
The tip of a wooden sword quickly enlarged in Ogata's eyes.
The wooden sword that was rapidly enlarging in his eyes directly interrupted Ogata's thoughts.
Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly in shock, and then he subconsciously raised the wooden sword in his hand.
Snap!
A dull sound exploded.
Ogata raised his sword in time and blocked the sword thrust from the distant mountain.
——So fast!
——When did Yuan Shan launch his stabbing attack?
Ogata can guarantee that he never blinked or relaxed just now.
I have always tensed up my nerves and stared at the distant mountains with all my concentration.
However, even so, Ogata's eyes could not keep up with the speed of the distant mountains.
After blocking Toyama's sword in dangerous and dangerous situations, before Ogata could even breathe a sigh of relief, Toyama's next attack came.
After the sword in his hand was blocked by Ogata, Toyama quickly retracted the sword in his hand, then switched to the upper stance and swung the sword towards Ogata's shoulder.
Snap!
Another dull sound exploded.
Ogata blocked Toyama's attack again.
However, Ogata's defense this time was even more dangerous than the last one.
——Oops!
Ogata shouted anxiously in his heart.
——My rhythm was completely disrupted by the distant mountains! I was led by the distant mountains!
——You have to readjust your posture!
——If you don’t adjust your posture quickly, you will...
Ogata didn't have time to say the word "lose" in his heart.
The third wave of attacks from Yuanshan has arrived.
What Toyama used this time was his straight thrust that was so fast that Ogata's eyes couldn't keep up.
The speed in the distant mountains is really too fast.
When Ogata blocked it for the first time, there was some luck involved.
But this time...the goddess of luck did not take care of Ogata.
Bang!
Ogata, who had no time to block Toyama's thrust, was stabbed firmly in the chest by the tip of Toyama's sword.
If it was a real sword duel, Ogata would have died after being stabbed in the chest.
After taking a few steps back, Ogata fell to the ground.
"Cough, cough!"
Ogata's left hand that was not holding the sword was tightly covering the place where he had just been stabbed, coughing violently.
Asaki, Afu: "Ogata-sama!"*2
Asaki and Afu shouted Ogata's name in unison, and then rushed forward to check Ogata's injuries.
"I'm fine..." Ogata, lying on the ground, said in a deep voice.
"Oh."
Yuan Shan gave out his signature sneer, and then slowly retracted the sword he had thrust out just now.
At the same time, he said in a mocking tone:
"Is this the only level of being a disciple of the Sakakihara Sword Hall?"
As soon as Yuan Shan finished speaking, the large group of fellow disciples behind him immediately burst into laughter in a very cooperative manner.
In particular, Jiggaki, who was defeated by Ogata just now, and his three companions laughed the loudest, as if they wanted to dislocate their jaws from laughing.
There were also a few low chuckles from the onlookers watching the excitement.
Although Ogata was not instantly killed by Toyama just now, it was almost like an instant kill.
From the moment the two swords touched each other to the end of the battle, less than a few seconds passed.
He was defeated in less than a few seconds - this was really embarrassing in the eyes of the onlookers who didn't understand swordsmanship.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that he had successfully avenged his junior brother, Yuan Shan arrogantly shouted "Let's go", then turned around and prepared to go back with his junior brothers.
As for the wooden sword given to Ogata - they didn't bother to take it back.
However - just as Yuanshan and the others turned around, a deep voice sounded from behind them:
