"I found that it was very noisy here for some reason, so I ran over to take a look. It turned out to be Ogata-kun and you were fighting with others. Fortunately, there are no cannibals wandering around here. Otherwise, you might make such a loud noise.
There are quite a few cannibals here."
"Tch... are you late... Brother Ogata, you are almost done..."
As these two male voices fell, two figures, one tall and one short, stepped out of the darkness and stepped into the area illuminated by the light of the torch.
The prisoners had been basically killed by Ogata, and the torches in their hands fell all over the ground, so the surroundings of Ogata and Sotaro were still considered open.
These two figures, as well as the owners of the two sword lights just now, are naturally Mamiya and Makimura.
As for Matsumoto, he carefully followed Mamiya and Makimura, accepting their protection.
Mamiya glanced at the dead bodies on the ground and Sotaro, who was looking at him and Makimura with an ugly expression, and then asked Ogata in a relaxed tone:
"Ogata-kun, do you need help?"
"No need." After responding to Mamiya's words without thinking, Ogata raised the katana in his hand high, swung it down hard to get rid of the blood on the blade, and then walked slowly towards Soutaro.
"Tsk..." Soutaro, whose face was already as dark as a piece of coal, tightened his wakizashi in his hand, spread his legs, and got into a posture, "You guy...! Who the hell are you?!"
"I have just said it." Ogata said in a calm tone, "By various coincidences, the ronin happened to appear here."
After saying that, Ogata suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Soutaro.
Ogata swung the katana and wakizashi in his hands at the same time, and two sword lights, one long and one short, came towards Soutaro.
Ogata's sword was as fast as lightning, but Soutaro's reflexes were pretty good and he could barely keep up with Ogata's speed.
He even raised the wakizashi in his hand and faced Ogata's double swords.
clang!
With a loud sound of gold and iron hitting each other, the two swords collided heavily.
"Hmm..." Although Soutaro successfully held Ogata's sword, because his strength was not as strong as Ogata's, he clutched the sword in his hand tightly and staggered back a few steps.
On the other hand, Ogata - stood still.
Before Sotaro could stand completely, Ogata's pursuit came.
What Soutaro chopped off this time was Ogata's wakizashi.
Wakizashi cut the air and slashed at Soutaro head-on. Soutaro's arms were still sore from receiving Ogata's attack. But Soutaro couldn't care less now.
Clenching his teeth and relying on brute strength, he forced himself to hold the wakizashi in his hand tightly, and faced Ogata's sword.
This time, Ogata only used one arm and a single sword to attack, so the power was not as powerful as the two-sword slash he just made. Therefore, if Soutaro went all out, he could still parry Ogata's single sword attack.
However - as soon as Sotaro got rid of Ogata's wakizashi, the katana in Ogata's right hand came.
The path of the knife is completely different from the path of the wakizashi just now.
Ogata's wakizashi just now was cut from the lower left to the upper right.
Nowadays, the knife is cut from the upper right to the lower left.
Two attacks with completely different directions forced Sotaro to hurriedly adjust his posture and the direction of the sword in his hand.
Once again, he successfully deflected Ogata's sword attack. Before Soutaro could take a breath, Ogata's wakizashi came again...
Ogata kept waving his two swords like this, launching continuous slashes at Sotaro from all directions.
Soutaro could barely cope with it at first, but as time passed and his physical strength declined, Soutaro gradually lost his rhythm. Facing Ogata's continuous double-sword slashes, he not only had no strength to fight back,
Even the power to parry is gradually losing...
Knowing in his heart that he would definitely fail if he continued like this, Sotaro gritted his teeth and a cruel look appeared on his face.
He decided to give up this vague defense.
Find the right moment and use an attack to turn the tide of the battle.
Sotaro stared at the sword in Ogata's hands, looking for the most suitable battle record for counterattack.
clang!
After fending off Ogata's knife strike again, Sotaro's eyes burst out with cold light.
At this time, Ogata's sword attack had just been deflected away, and Wakizashi had not yet come to attack Sotaro - it was the best time to launch a counterattack!
If he drags on any longer, he is afraid that he will no longer have the strength to parry Ogata's attack. Therefore, Soutaro did not hesitate at all. He stepped firmly on the ground with both feet, and the power was transmitted from his feet to his waist, and then from his waist.
He reached his arms, concentrated all his strength behind them, and aimed a sharp stab at Ogata's chest!
What Sotaro used was the assassination technique in their Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu.
The sword that Soutaro thrust out was fast and fierce. Years of training in Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu and years of experience in assassination allowed Soutaro to roughly judge the shape of Ogata's heart just by looking at it with his eyes.
Where.
So he was fully confident - if he could hit Ogata, he would definitely pierce Ogata's heart!
Of course, the premise for all this to happen is that his knife can stab Ogata.
Facing the sword stabbed by Sotaro, Ogata did not panic or get confused.
Because——Soutaro's thrust may seem very fast to outsiders.
But from Ogata's point of view - that's it.
After using the Breath of the Source, his reflex nerves were temporarily increased to 10 points, allowing Ogata to see Sotaro's knife path very easily.
Use the step step to dodge to Sotaro's right side nimbly.
As Ogata dodged, Sotaro's wakizashi was naturally pierced.
Ogata didn't give Sotaro a chance to take the sword back.
While Soutaro had not retracted the knife and his right arm was still straightened, Ogata raised his left wakizashi and directly pierced Soutaro's right forearm.
"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"
His right forearm was stabbed directly from right to left, causing Sotaro to wail in pain.
And in the next moment, Soutaro's wail escalated.
Because - after piercing Soutaro's right arm with his wakizashi, Ogata swung the sword with his right hand and cut off Soutaro's right hand from the elbow to the root.
With a "snap" sound, Sotaro's right arm, which was still holding the wakizashi, fell to the ground.
As for Sotaro, he screamed hoarsely and fell to his knees with pain on his face.
The severe pain coming from his right arm caused Soutaro's body to convulse continuously, and he didn't even have the strength left to stand up.
However, even if he could still stand up, it would be meaningless.
After all - even with his intact arms, he was no match for Ogata. How could he turn defeat into victory after losing one of his arms to Ogata?
Ogata glanced at Sotaro, who was lying on the ground and moaning continuously.
Then he silently shook off the blood attached to the blades of the two knives in his hands, and then put the knives back into their sheaths.
"Huh?" Mamiya, who had been watching the battle, raised his eyebrows, "Ogata-kun, aren't you going to kill him?"
"I originally wanted to kill him directly." Ogata said softly, "But I thought about it - it would be better to leave him to those who have been hurt by him to deal with it slowly."
"Compared to me, they probably want to cook this guy with their own hands."
