Chapter 258 Absorb immortality and soaring combat power (1)
After experiencing a series of fierce battles last night, they led the surviving villagers non-stop towards the landing place of the shogunate army under the cover of darkness.
In this situation without a good rest from beginning to end, he was able to kill 10 shogunate soldiers - such an excellent result surprised Ogata.
Mamiya, who did not experience many fierce battles last night, was in far better condition than Ogata. In addition, he was already better at sword speed, so most of the 30 shogunate soldiers were killed by Mamiya.
A scene of killing.
"You should have a good rest here."
Mamiya said as he walked towards the woods adjacent to the coast.
"I'll go get Kinnosuke and the others."
The villagers, led by Kinnosuke, are now hiding in the woods.
After Mamiya left, Ogata silently opened his personal system interface.
[Current personal level of Sakakibara's One-Sword Style: Level of Two-Sword and Two-Sword Style: Just now, Ogata only used Two-Sword-style and Two-Sword Style to fight against the enemy. After killing 10 soldiers of the Shogunate Army in a row, Ogata's personal level and Two-Sword-style experience increased again.
Some.
After checking the results of his previous victory, Ogata closed the interface.
As soon as he closed the interface, out of the corner of his eye, Ogata saw Mamiya leading Konnosuke and his party slowly out of the woods where they had just been hiding.
Looking at Konnosuke and his group who had also not had a good rest all night, Ogata couldn't help but recall the hardships of escorting them here last night, and a wry smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.
Last night's attack by the shogunate forces left only 61 islanders alive, including Kinnosuke.
On the way to escort the 61 islanders to the shogunate's landing place, Ogata and Mamiya suffered a lot.
After all, it is not an easy task to escort so many people through an area where cannibals will pop out at any time.
Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter large-scale cannibals along the way - this may also be related to the fact that many cannibals were attracted to Fenghe Village by the sound of the shogunate's army breaking through the wall.
The number of cannibals you encounter occasionally is very small, so it is easier to get rid of them.
Due to the large number of people and the fact that they had to stop and go and change routes from time to time to avoid the cannibals, it was already sunrise by the time they arrived at the coast.
When they arrived at the coast, none of the 61 islanders led by Kinnosuke suffered any casualties - it must be said that such a lucky result surprised Ogata, Kinnosuke and the others.
"The ship has been seized."
Ogata said to Konnosuke who was walking towards him.
"Have you figured out how to convince the shogunate?"
"Honestly..." Konnosuke said softly, looking around cautiously as if he had done something wrong.
After making sure that the villagers closest to him were all some distance away from him, Kinnosuke lowered his voice and whispered at a volume that only he and Ogata could hear clearly:
"I... didn't think it through at all..."
A bitter smile filled with bitterness appeared on Konnosuke's face.
"I am not a person who is good at eloquence. I have no idea how to negotiate with the shogunate..."
"...Konosuke, work harder." Ogata, who really didn't know how to approach Konosuke's words, could only sigh softly, raised his hand and patted Konosuke on the shoulder.
"Well..." Konnosuke nodded gently, "I will do my best..."
"Ah, right."
Ogata said softly as he took out the Daishiten and Daijizao hanging on his left waist and handed them to Konnosuke.
"The ship has been captured, and Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai will be returned to you."
"This is the most powerful sword I have ever seen in my life."
"Keep these two swords well."
The compliment Ogata just said was not a pointless compliment.
Needless to say, the toughness of Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zi was demonstrated vividly in the battle with the demon monk last night.
After receiving all the blows from the monster monk's "gyro", the blade was still intact, with not a single chip.
In addition to its hardness, its sharpness is also impeccable.
The sharpness of the blade is directly related to the feel of the knife holder.
The quality of the hand has a great influence on the strength of the knife wielder.
Ogata himself can no longer remember how many swords he has used so far.
But he is certain that Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai are definitely the best-feeling knives among the many knives he has used so far.
The blade of the knife cuts through the human body just like cutting paper, it is as easy as cutting through it - Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zi are so sharp.
If possible, Ogata would like to take Daishi Tian and Da Zizai for his own use, but reason ultimately defeats desire.
Daishiten and Daijizai were swords given to Kinnosuke by Kyokai, and he only borrowed them for a while - Ogata has not forgotten this.
Although he was very reluctant to part with it, Ogata decided to return it to its original owner.
Looking at the Daishiten and Daizizai in Ogata's hands, Konnosuke's eyes flashed with hesitation.
After hesitating for a while, Konnosuke finally raised his hand - pushing back Ogata's hand that had been extended to him by Daishiten and Daizizai.
"Lord Ogata, these two swords...are given to you."
A look of surprise immediately appeared on Ogata's face.
When Ogata was about to say something, Konnosuke took the lead and smiled:
"You and Miss Atachi have given us so much help since last night."
"These two knives are my gift to express my gratitude to you."
"Anyway, I don't know how to use swords. These two knives have no use for me except as decorations."
"It's just right to give it to a warrior like you."
"Take these two knives."
"I believe that the late Master Jinghai would be very happy if he knew that his proud work could be owned by a warrior with unparalleled swordsmanship like you."
"...Thank you." Ogata said softly after being silent for a while, while inserting Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai back into his waist, "Then - I accept Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai.
!”
Ogata was very fond of these two swords.
Since Konnosuke planned to give the sword as a gift, Ogata didn't do any pretense and accepted Daishiten and Daizizai generously.
Feeling the heavy weight on his left waist, a strange sense of security emerged from Ogata's heart.
"Huh?" At this moment, Konnosuke suddenly frowned and asked Ogata, "Ogata-sama, your face seems a bit ugly..."
"Yeah." Ogata nodded with a wry smile, "I'm a little dizzy... maybe I'm overworked. I'll just take a good rest later."
"Oh, it seems we came just in time."
At this moment, Ogata suddenly heard Makimura's voice.
Looking around, they saw Omachi and Makimura walking side by side towards them.
Behind Amachi and Makimura were two acquaintances of Ogata - Sokai and Kenkai.
Last night, the task Ogata gave to Atachi and Makimura was to pick up Sokai and Kenkai.
No matter how you look at Butterfly Island, you can no longer live in this place.
Since he had already planned to give the islanders one last blow, Ogata simply decided to bring Sokai and Xianhai over so that they could follow Konno to help them leave the island by boat - as for whether they would be able to survive in the end.
If he cannot survive, it depends on whether Konnosuke has the ability to convince the officials of the shogunate.
Ogata was a little worried that Sokai and the others would be stubborn and would stay on this island even if the shogunate decided to bloodbath the island.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Both Zong Hai and Xian Hai were carrying a medium-sized cloth bag on their backs - this should be all the luggage of Zong Hai and Xian Hai.
After seeing the Daishiten and Daizizai around Ogata's waist, Zonghai did not show any surprise - it seems that when Amachi led them to the coast, he had already told Zonghai what happened last night.
.
"I thought you would also move the Buddha statue of Fudo Myoō from Tenmanji Temple here." Ogata took the lead and said to Sokai in a half-joking tone.
"Buddha statues are just some mud." Zong Hai took the lead in saying, "Buddha does not reside in the Buddha statue, but resides in your and my heart. It doesn't matter whether you take the Buddha statue with you or not."
"Sokai..." After seeing Sokai, Konnosuke looked excited.
After all, they haven't seen each other for a year since the wooden wall was built.
"Sir Konnosuke..." Zonghai clasped his hands together and bowed to Konosuke, "Long time no see..."
After seeing Konnosuke, Zonghai's face also showed a hint of excitement, but his eyes still flickered slightly - after seeing Konnosuke, Zonghai couldn't help but think of himself.
He concealed the fault of the Linon River's water problem from Kinnosuke and others. Although he tried hard to control it, after looking at Kinnosuke, his eyes still turned away uncontrollably and he did not dare to look directly at Konnosuke.
"Now that everyone is here, let's board the ship quickly..." Ogata slowly stood up from the ground.
However, after standing up, a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly stabbed his brain like a spear.
It was difficult for Ogata to stand still, he shook a few times and fell towards the ground.
Fortunately, Amachi, who was standing next to Ogata, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and reached out to help Ogata in time.
"Ayi, what's wrong with you?" A Ding asked anxiously.
Ogata did not answer Amachi's question.
Because he himself didn't know what was wrong with him.
Before about half a stick of incense, he only felt very tired.
He mistakenly thought that he was just tired because he had been fighting since last night and had never had a good rest, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But gradually, the feeling of fatigue increased...
Only now did Ogata finally feel that something was wrong...
Ogata opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But before he could say anything, he felt his stomach churn, and something surged up his esophagus and into his mouth.
With a "wow" sound, Ogata spit out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing the sand under his feet red.
After Ogata vomited blood, the people around him such as Atachi, Makimura, Sokai and others finally realized that something was wrong, and their expressions changed.
The first person to react was Makimura.
"Brother Matsumoto!" Makimura shouted loudly, "Brother Matsumoto! Where are you?"
As soon as Makimura's shouts ended, Matsumoto emerged from the villagers not far away and ran quickly towards Makimura.
"Makimura-sama, what's wrong?"
"Brother Ogata, he's vomiting blood." Makimura said in a deep voice, "Hurry and help see what's wrong with brother Ogata!"
"Vomiting blood?!" Matsumoto raised his eyebrows.
After hearing the word "vomiting blood", Matsumoto's expression suddenly became serious and he leaned towards Ogata.
However, Sokai was one step ahead of Matsumoto and took Ogata from Ogata's arms, who had vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.
"Female donor," Zonghai said seriously to Omachi, "Donor Ogata, does he have any wounds on his body?"
"Wound?" Although A-Machi was already frightened by the changes in Ogata's body at this time, after hearing Zonghai's question, she reacted immediately. After recalling it, she pointed at the thread.
His neck was wrapped in a thick white cloth.
"This is the only wound on Ayi's body!"
The wound that Atachi was referring to was naturally the relatively shallow skin wound left by the "demon monk" on Ogata's neck last night.
This injury was diagnosed and treated by Matsumoto last night. He applied some ointment and then simply bandaged it with a white cloth.
As soon as Omachi finished speaking, Sokai immediately used some rough methods to pull off the white cloth wrapping the wound around Ogata's neck.
After the wounds under the white cloth were revealed, Zonghai and Konnosuke beside him immediately took a breath of cold air.
I saw the wound on Ogata's neck, which was not special last night, and the skin around it turned dark purple.
Both Sokai and Kinnosuke have seen wounds like this.
I've seen it many times...

Looking at the wound on Ogata's neck, Zonghai said in a concentrated voice:
"It's immortal poison...!"
Zong Hai's words made Ah Ding's face suddenly turn white.
"...It should be that the weapon that caused this wound was stained with the blood of the ogre." Zonghai said in a deep voice, "The weapon stained with the blood of the ogre cut the neck of Ogata's benefactor.
The blood of the cannibal ghost ran into the body of Ogata benefactor..."
Hearing Sokai's words, Atachi suddenly remembered that when Ishun was fighting with her and Ogata, he frequently swung his sword to kill the two troublesome villagers who turned into cannibals.
The blade was indeed stained with the blood of a lot of cannibals...
Mamiya, who was not far away, also noticed the movement here and walked quickly towards here.
After learning that Ogata had been poisoned by immortality, his expression also changed instantly.
Just when everyone didn’t know what to do——
"...let's take a gamble."
Zong Hai suddenly said softly.
"Female donor, please support Ogata, donor."
After handing Ogata back to Omachi, Zonghai knelt down and untied the big cloth bag on his back.
The big cloth bag on his back was filled with all kinds of bottles and medicinal materials.
After rummaging through the pile of bottles and jars, Zong Hai took out a small jar.
After opening the small jar, the strong and pungent medicinal smell immediately penetrated everyone's noses.
"This is...?!" Amachi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zong Hai nodded gently and said in a tone as if he was talking to himself.
