Chapter 268 Senior Sister Buddha Enemy VS Junior Brother Executioner (1)
After listening to the self-introduction of Kinoshita Rin, the owner of the Calabash House, Ogata couldn't help but look up and down Kinoshita Rin several times with his complicated eyes.
"... Mamiya... why is your lord a woman..."
"Oh? So it turns out that the famous executioner Ittosai is the kind of person who discriminates against women and thinks that women are not qualified to wield swords and control others?"
Lin's tone was obviously displeased.
The atmosphere around him instantly became tense as Lin said these words.
After realizing that he might have misunderstood Lin, Ogata quickly said:
"No, I'm not discriminating against women. I'm just surprised that it didn't go as expected."
"I always thought that the owner of the Calabash House who could control the four Mamiya people was a strong man with a big body and a thick body..."
"I never said that our lord is a man." Mamiya continued in a half-joking tone.
Lin glanced at Ogata with a faint curiosity.
"I just heard what Kuro and the others said about the series of things they encountered when they landed on Butterfly Island, as well as... about you."
"What a surprise."
"I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who can rely on uncle's bad secret book to understand the Wu-Se Duo-sword style."
Ogata had heard Mamiya and others introduce the relationship between their master and Kinoshita Genichi.
Kinoshita Genichi is Rin's grandfather's older brother.
So the uncle Lin just mentioned was naturally referring to Genichi Kinoshita.
"It's a pity that my uncle is sleeping now and can't take a look at you in time as his "apprentice" who has never been masked before."
"I finished my training an hour ago and returned to Calabash House. When I learned from Jiulang that I had an additional junior brother, I really felt confident that my father had an illegitimate child. I have a half-brother.
The feeling of a younger brother.”
Hearing Lin's inexplicably joyful metaphor, Ogata couldn't help but smile.
Ogata didn't expect that Kinoshita Rin, who exuded a cold aura all over her body, would say such inexplicably funny words.
After looking at Ogata several times again, Lin suddenly changed into an extremely serious tone:
"Although from a certain point of view, you are my junior brother, I don't want to recognize you as my junior brother, nor do I want to recognize you as a disciple of our Wuwo Erdao style."
Ogata raised his eyebrows.
As for the expressions of the four Mamiya people at this time, their expressions also changed slightly.
"Don't you want to recognize me as a disciple of your Wuga Nitōryu...can you tell me why?" Ogata crossed his hands and put them into his sleeves.
"Because I think you are just a thief who stole the swordsmanship of our Kinoshita family - what do you think of this reason?"
Upon hearing Lin's words, Ogata's face began to show displeasure.
"Miss Kinoshita, what you just said is biased, isn't it?"
"It was your uncle who gave the secret book of the Two Swords of Wushu to my sect. I mastered the Two Swords of Wushu style openly and openly through this secret book that your uncle gave me - how can I say that I stole it?"
"Besides - whether I count as a disciple of your Wu-I Er-sword Style or not, it shouldn't be you who have the final say, but your uncle, right?"
"You are wrong." Lin's face was still filled with frost, "I have the final say. Two years ago, my uncle passed the throne to me, and I am now the second generation of the Mu-sama clan."
"I think you can be considered a disciple of our Wuwo Erdao style, and you are."
"I don't think you are a disciple of our Wushu Erdao style, you are not."
"I think you stole our Kinoshita family's swordsmanship, and you are a thief."
Ogata's face was now filled with a strong look of impatience.
"Miss Lin...are you looking for trouble with me?"
"You're too worried. I'm just stating a fact."
"In that case——Miss Lin, let me also state a fact."
Ogata changed into a mocking tone.
"Perhaps I, a thief, am better than you, the direct descendant of the orthodox line, in the Self-less Two Sword Style?"
Since Lin has never given Ogata a good look, Ogata is no longer polite, nor does he give Lin any good looks, and directly mocks her.
Mamiya and others who were kneeling on both sides looked anxious at this time.
Even a fool can tell that the atmosphere between Ogata and Lin has become tense.
"Asai-sama..." Shimada whispered to Asai next to him, "My lord, what's wrong with her...why is she so angry...she keeps saying very rude words to Ogata-sama..."
"How do I know?" Asai replied angrily.
The four people in Mamiya were all racking their brains to think of ways to ease the tense atmosphere between Ogata and Lin.
But before they could come up with a solution, Lin frowned slightly after being mocked by Ogata.
Then——
"Then let me see your level."
"How do you want to meet me?"
"Nothing can better demonstrate your swordsmanship than actual combat, right?"
"I see, then - I'll let you see it as I wish."
Ogata has no interest at all in things like "being recognized by Rin as a disciple of the Fugo Nito Ryu" and "being recognized by Rin as his junior brother". These so-called "status" are not worth mentioning in Ogata's eyes.
The reason why he accepted the challenge was purely because he wanted to teach this guy a lesson that had been inexplicably hostile to him since just now.
Seeing that Ogata agreed, Lin nodded slightly, turned her head and said to Shimada below:
"Shimada."
"exist!"
"Go and get 3 wooden knives. 2 daggers and 1 wakizashi."
"yes!"
…
…
Shimada moved quickly.
After a while, he followed Lin's instructions and came back with three knives.
Ogata waved the wooden wakizashi in his left hand and the wooden sword in his right hand.
After confirming that there were no problems with the weight and center of gravity, Ogata looked at Shimada, who had already taken a mid-section stance in front of him.
Ogata thought it was Lin who came down to fight with him in person, but unexpectedly it turned out not to be the case.
Lin chose Shimada as the partner for Ogata to fight.
Lin was still kneeling under the thousand-year-old gourd horse seal, while Mamiya and others stood far to the side, leaving enough space for Ogata and Shimada.

"So you're not fighting me?" Ogata asked Lin, who was kneeling under the horse seal while playing with the knife in his hand.
"Someone who can't even defeat Rokuro in a row has no right to let me draw my sword."
"That's it... Then - Shimada, I'm on board."
"Come on!" Shimada held the knife that was already tightly held tighter.
After clenching the two swords in his hands, Ogata took a deep breath, and then slowly moved into the starting position of "Wuwo Sword Style".
At the moment when he had set up the "Immortal Two Swordsman Style", Ogata also switched his breathing to "Breath of the Source".
[Ding! Use "Breath of Source" to temporarily increase reflex nerves by 2 points]

Looking at Ogata's chest rising and falling with the familiar rhythm, Lin's eyes narrowed and she whispered softly at a volume that only she could hear clearly:
"It's really the breath of the source...and...the level is not low..."
Looking at Shimada, who was in an extremely standard middle stance in front of him, Ogata suddenly thought:
——This seems to be the first battle I have fought since being poisoned by immortality...
The trauma and fatigue left on Butterfly Island have long been recovered.
After fully recovering from the trauma and exhaustion, Ogata finally clearly felt that the undead poison in his body had truly increased his physical functions.
This is not a temporary increase. Judging from the current situation, it seems to be a permanent increase.
His strength, agility, reflexes and other abilities have all been comprehensively improved.
Let's take advantage of this battle with Shimada to test the specific level of his body after receiving the boost. As soon as this thought came to Ogata's mind, Shimada in front of him let out a powerful kiai, and said:
Ogata launched an attack.
Looking at the wooden sword blade heading towards him, Ogata frowned slightly.
Each of Shimada's attacks was full of momentum and power - but it was a pity that every one of his attacks was dodged by Ogata with stepping steps or directly deflected with his blade.
As he neutralized every move and move of Shimada one by one, Ogata's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Snapped!
After using his left wakizashi to block Shimada's horizontal slash again, Ogata whispered to Shimada:
"Have you never learned any swordsmanship?"
Shimada's current expression... seemed like someone had exposed his lie.
He pushed away Ogata's sword, took a few steps back to open the distance between him and Ogata, and then responded softly:
"...That's right. I didn't learn from any school."
After Shimada swung the first sword at him, Obeli felt a strange feeling.
It wasn't until he flashed continuously and received several moves from Shimada that Ogata finally determined what was causing this strange feeling - every move Shimada made was an ordinary horizontal slash and vertical slash, not one of them.
A class of swordsmanship.
In the terms of modern earth, Shimada's situation is that he can only draw A, but cannot use skills.
"It seems like you only know how to chop horizontally and vertically?" Ogata asked.
"Yeah." Shimada smiled bitterly, "After all, I haven't learned any swordsmanship, so I don't know any sword skills, so I only know two moves: horizontal slashing and vertical slashing."
Having said this, Shimada paused.
Then he said to Ogata in a firm tone:
"Although I don't know any swordsmanship, I am still very strong. Please don't underestimate me."
Shimada seemed to have mistakenly thought that Ogata's two questions just now were mocking him for not knowing how to swordsmanship.
After hearing Shimada's words, Ogata shook his head:
"I won't look down on you. It's better to say - I admire you."
"It's admirable that you can still achieve this level of strength without knowing anything about swordsmanship."
What Ogata said was true and not a compliment to Shimada.
Although Shimada only knows how to chop horizontally and vertically, it can be seen that Shimada must have painstakingly practiced these two moves.
Whether it's strength, speed, or precision, they all reach a level that's enough to make people gasp in surprise.
After an ordinary samurai confronts Shimada, he is not necessarily a match for this samurai who does not know any swordsmanship.
When he dodged and parried Shimada's attack just now, Ogata was actually observing Shimada's strength.
And now - Ogata also has a rough assessment of Shimada's strength: he is not yet a match for Ogata's ability.
After tightening the two wooden swords in his hands, Ogata took the initiative and rushed towards Shimada!
Snapped!
Ogata's wakizashi and Shimada's sword collided hard.
The two knives immediately separated the next moment after they collided heavily in mid-air.
Ogata did not end his offensive.
After Wakizashi was restrained, he immediately swung the katana in his right hand and slashed at Shimada.
Ogata continued to swing his swords in a staggered manner, launching a continuous fierce attack on Shimada.
Shimada also tensed up every nerve in his body, concentrating on defending against every slash from Ogata.
Because he was so focused, Shimada even slowed down his breathing involuntarily.
Just as Shimada was concentrating on defending against every slash from Ogata...
"Well……!"
Shimada suddenly let out an exclamation.
Because all his body and mind were focused on defending against Ogata's slashing attack, Shimada didn't notice that Ogata had just stretched out his foot to hook his foot.
The move used by Ogata is a move in Shiranui-ryu jujutsu that is specially used to destroy the enemy's center of gravity - the hook foot.
The reason why Shimada kept launching continuous slashing attacks was to make Shimada focus on defending against his slashing attacks and neglect the protection of his lower body.
Because the stability of the lower body was destroyed by Ogata, Shimada's posture had a huge flaw due to the instability of the lower body.
Ogata, who had been waiting for this flaw for a long time, without any hesitation, swung his katana and struck Shimada on the left shoulder.
After all, this was just a sparring match, not a life-and-death duel, so Ogata didn't aim at Shimada's face, but his left shoulder.
With the bottom plate losing its stability, Shimada still gritted his teeth and waved the knife in his hand, intending to fight hard to see if he could deflect Ogata's knife.
And Shimada's last effort was destined to be in vain - because Ogata still held a wakizashi in his left hand.
Ogata raised his left wakizashi to block Shimada's wooden sword that was intended to block his attack.
The last hope of defense was shattered, and Ogata's sword accurately hit Shimada's left shoulder.
Although Ogata restrained his strength, no matter how much he restrained his strength, if the wooden sword was struck on a person's body, the person who was struck would not suffer any better.
The features on Shimada's face immediately twisted together in pain and he fell to the ground.
