Chapter 594 Executioner's Sword vs Blind Sword! 【5200】
Just now, Asuki climbed onto the deck of the ship and saw Ogata killing the pirates on the ship with her unmatched luck skills.
Looking at this scene, A Zhu didn't know why, but he recalled his time when he was young...
…
"Azhu, come here."
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Grandpa is going to teach you something good that will last a lifetime."
…
"Grandpa! Look! I've used my luck!"
"Well, not bad. But don't be proud. This kind of luck is easy to get started but difficult to master. You still have a long way to go."
…
"Azhu! Let's practice!"
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow!"
"No, don't cry! I've said it before, this kind of luck is easy to get started with but difficult to master! If you want to practice to the level of grandpa who can apply the burst of luck to weapons at will, in addition to the Japanese
There is no other way but to practice hard day after day!”
"Just, just... (sniffles) Isn't there... a quick way... (sniffles)."
"No! There is no quick way to improve your luck. If you want to master it, there is no other way except hard practice!"
…
…
At this moment, Ashu felt that his mind was completely blank.
In less than half an hour, Ashu's brain shut down twice in a row.
The first time was when he witnessed Ogata killing One-Eye and others like he was chopping melons and vegetables.
The second time is now.
I have been practicing my luck since I was a child, and it is only now that I have reached this level.
By a quick count, this year is almost her 10th year of learning luck.
The man in front of her only spent a few days working to reach a state that she had not reached in nearly 10 years.
This had a greater impact on Azuki than when he had just witnessed Ogata instantly kill Duanyan and others.
Because I was deeply shocked by the scene in front of me, I was still hanging on the side of the boat stupidly without realizing it.
Finally, just as the dry surface of the earth was gradually moistened by the overflow of underground water, A Zhu's brain gradually resumed thinking, and his whole person "recovered his sanity."
After "recovering his sanity", the first thought that came out of Ashu's mind was:
Grandpa! You lied to me! Didn’t you say that luck cannot be achieved quickly?!
…
…
Not only Azuki was dumbfounded, but Ogata was also dumbfounded.
However, Ogata soon calmed down, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was entirely because A Zhu was not present that he dared to experiment with his luck boldly just now.
After all, it would be inconvenient to explain if Azuki saw that Ogata had reached a state that she had not reached after practicing hard for so long in just a few days.
Just because Ogata didn't want to waste time explaining to Tsuki, he chose to test this new trick on the pirate ship where Tsuki was not present.
But he didn't expect it...Azhu suddenly appeared at the moment when he was using his luck to kill...
How...how should I explain to Azhu...
"Drink!"
At this time, a loud shout from Ogata's side brought Ogata's mind and thoughts back to reality.
Without looking at the enemy on the side who was attacking him while sending out kiai, he used step steps to dodge his attack and slashed towards his belly with the sword.
Sakakihara's Itto style, Yunjin·Dragon's tail.
The chainmail was chopped into pieces, and the blade was deeply embedded in the man's belly.
The system prompt for gaining experience points sounded in Ogata's mind.
Let's deal with these people first and then slowly think about how to explain to Azhu.
Ogata raised his eyes and looked at the enemies with only 6 people left.
Although the remaining six people all looked more or less frightened without exception, none of them took a step back, and they all held the swords in their hands tightly.
This group of people is extraordinary...
Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.
Most of them have been killed or injured, and no one has retreated yet...
There were originally 15 of them, but now after Ogata cut down 9 of them, there was no doubt that most of them were dead or injured. Nearly two-thirds of their combat strength was killed by Ogata.
If it were any other organization that had suffered such heavy casualties, it would probably have collapsed long ago.
For example, among the more than 40 subordinates of Yitong, their casualties only exceeded double digits before they were all defeated.
But now the group in front of them has lost nearly two-thirds of their companions, and no one has retreated yet.
The strong qualities displayed by these people made Ogata couldn't help but take a high look at them.
…
…
"...Miyabe-sama, the battle situation is not going well." Morimaru, who put his knife on the ground and closed his eyes, said softly, "There are only 6 people left on our side. I'm afraid it won't be long before we are the only ones left.
Two of us."
"Haha." It was obvious that his subordinates had suffered heavy casualties, but Miyabe still looked calm and calm. After chuckling a few times, he said in a half-joking tone, "Morimaru, you are still like this
It's amazing. Just by listening with your ears, you can hear the battle situation, and you can even judge clearly how many people are left on our side."
"After all, these ears are the foundation of my 'blind sword'." Morimaru said calmly.
After chuckling a few more times, Miyabe slowly said:
"You're right. It seems that we still underestimated this warrior... I didn't expect that he could cut through chain armor..."
"I thought that with so many people coming together, there would be a chance of capturing him alive..."
After finishing speaking, Miyabe sighed softly.
"... Morimaru, if we fight him in a situation that is favorable to you, how sure are you that you can capture him alive?"
"Haha." Morimaru shrugged, "It's very difficult. But"
The subject of the conversation suddenly changed. Morimaru slowly raised his hand to touch the hilt of the sword that was pressed against the deck at the bottom of the sheath. "Although I can't guarantee success, I can guarantee that I will bet on the title of 'Blind Sword' and give it a try."
."
Miyabe smiled.
“It’s enough to have the determination to give it a try!”
"Hey! You six, hold this guy down!"
The second half of Miyabe's words was naturally directed at the six remaining people.
After shouting these words, Miyabe turned around and ran towards the west.
At the west end is the door connecting the cabin below deck.
Morimaru held the knife and followed closely behind Miyabe.
"Lord Yitong!" As he ran towards the cabin, Miyabe shouted to Yitong who had been left behind without looking back, "If you continue to sit on the deck like this stupidly, you will really die.
."
"Ah?" Yitong, who had been paralyzed on the ground out of fear from just now, turned to look at Miyabe and Morimaru, who were about to rush into the cabin, as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Wait, wait.
Wait for me! Don’t abandon me!”
At this moment, the only one who can give Yitong, who has become a polished commander, a sense of security is Miyabe's side.
As for the six people in front of Ogata, after hearing Miyabe's instructions, they all roared in response, then swarmed up and slashed at Ogata with their swords.
Facing enemies coming from six directions, Ogata silently picked up a wakizashi at his feet and assumed the stance of the Selfless Two-Sword Style.
The flow of two swords without self, the flow of energy.
The light of swords and blood blocked the sunlight.
The system sound that prompts you to gain experience points will sound 6 times in a row.
On the deck of the pirate ship, only Ogata was left standing.
Miyabe, Morimaru, and Yitong had all gotten into the cabin just now.
"Three of them ran away..." Ogata muttered as he casually threw away the two knives in his hands, both of which had considerable damage.
Just when Ogata was about to catch up, he suddenly remembered a certain little guy who seemed to be hanging outside the side of the ship...
A Zhu(Secret Observation.jpg):(°ー°〃)
Ogata turned his head and looked at Azuki who was still hanging over the side of the ship and "secretly observing" him.
After discovering that Ogata was looking at her, Ashu was stunned for a moment, then silently lowered his head and hid the parts below the eyes under the ship's side deck, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
"Then, um...you don't have to worry about me..." Azhu said in a cautious tone.
Looking at Azuki who was looking at him with eyes full of complicated emotions, Ogata sighed silently:
"Azuki, you go back to the stowaway boat now. A lot of pirates escaped just now. There is still a possibility that the stowaway boat will be attacked. Go back and protect the boat with Isshiki and the others."
"If you have any questions, let's wait until these pirates are dealt with first."
"...I know..." Azhu obediently sank his head completely under the side of the ship.
For some reason, when facing Ogata now, Azuki couldn't say even half a word "no".
After confirming that Tsukuru had really left the pirate ship, Ogata unsheathed Daishiten, raised his sword and rushed into the cabin where Miyabe and others had just entered.
…
…
"Morimaru, from now on...it will be all your hard work." Miyabe said softly.
"Yeah." Morimaru slowly opened his eyes, revealing dark eye sockets without eyeballs, "I should have been executed by the government 25 years ago."
Morimaru showed a flat smile.
"It was only with that adult's help that I am lucky enough to survive until now."
When he mentioned "that lord", Morimaru's tone was filled with deep respect.
"I should have died, but I am no longer afraid of strong enemies and death."
Canglanglanglang...
Morimaru slowly pulled out the knife that he usually used as a guide stick.
Hidden in the sheath is a black knife whose blade is dyed with a special black paste.
Because it was covered with black pulp, the blade did not reflect any light from the blade.
…
…
Too dark……
After entering this pirate ship, the first thought that came to Ogata's mind was that it was so dark.
Perhaps because it is daytime and fewer people are in the cabin, there are oil lamps hung on the wall at long intervals in the corridor of the cabin.
The oil lamps used for lighting were made of quite ordinary materials, and the light they emitted was extremely weak, making the entire cabin extremely dark.
But fortunately, it was dark and dark, so I could barely see the road clearly.
Ogata relied on this dim light to slowly move forward, heading deeper into the cabin.
The reason why they entered the cabin was to pursue Yitong and others.
However, after walking in the cabin for a long time, Yitong and others did not encounter them. Instead, they encountered many remnants of the pirates who had just broken up and hid in the cabin.
For these human traffickers, Ogata had no other way of communicating other than "wielding a knife."
Just keep moving forward and kill all the way.
The path to find Yitong and others can be described as a "bloody road" paved with the blood of these pirates.
After killing several people in a row, Ogata finally heard the sound of unhurried footsteps coming from far and near from deep in the corridor ahead.
Along with the footsteps, there was also a hoarse middle-aged male voice:
"I haven't regretted being blind as much as I do now in a long time."
"If I have the chance, I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of hero a swordsman who can cut through chain mail is."
"It is an honor for me to be able to compete against a young hero like you at this age."
Ogata hurriedly followed the sound and looked forward, only to see a figure shaking in the darkness deep in the corridor in front of Ogata, and it slowly revealed that it was Morimaru.
Carrying his black sword, Morimaru walked out of the darkness and stood under an oil lamp.
Because Morimaru stood under the oil lamp, Ogata could clearly see Morimaru's face.
This guy... turns out to be blind...!
Shocked by the sight before him, Ogata's pupils subconsciously shrank.
When Morimaru was on the deck, he kept his eyes closed, so Ogata never noticed that there were no eyeballs in Morimaru's eye sockets.
While Ogata was still stunned by Morimaru's true appearance, Morimaru slowly raised the sword in his palm above his head and assumed an upper stance.
"Blind Sword."
"Morisimaru."
"Please give me more advice!"
Click!
After calling the door loudly, there was the sound of something being chopped into pieces.
The object that was chopped into pieces was an oil lamp.
After calling the door, Morimaru chopped up the oil lamp next to him with a knife.
There was a dim oil lamp placed at regular intervals in this corridor, so after the oil lamp was chopped into pieces, a large area nearby with the oil lamp as the center was directly plunged into darkness.
And Ogata happened to be shrouded in this darkness.
The light was suddenly snatched away, and it became difficult to see anything in front of him. This sudden change caused confusion and seriousness to appear on Ogata's face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Could it be that?!
The enemy was a blind swordsman, and the enemy had artificially created a dark environment. The two elements were superimposed together, and Ogata quickly thought of what the blind man wanted.
Ogata quickly pulled out the Great Freedom and switched to the two-sword style.
At the same time as he drew his sword, Ogata quickly stepped back, leaving the position he had just stood in, preparing to escape from the darkness.
But he had just taken a few steps back, and what happened next was perfectly in line with what he had just imagined. A sharp sound of breaking wind came from the left side from top to bottom.
Reflex nerves and agility were linked at this moment: Ogata's body reacted one step faster than his brain.
Ogata quickly raised his head and faced the sound of breaking wind that was coming towards him, subconsciously using his blade to counterattack.
clang!
The black swords of Dai Zizai and Morimaru collided in mid-air, sparks flying out.
Did you actually block my attack...?!
Morimaru, whose face became more solemn due to the failure of the attack, was not willing to fight. He quickly put away his black sword and retreated quickly, widening the distance between himself and Ogata.
Morimaru's speed and reaction were very fast. As soon as he quickly evacuated, Ogata's Daishiten passed over the position where he had just stood.
Damn, I can’t tell where he is...
Ogata glanced around with a serious face.
No wonder that guy painted the knife black... This way the enemy can't judge his position based on the reflection of the blade...
Now it's that guy who has the advantage... He can "see" my position, but I can't see his...
Through the brief confrontation with Morimaru just now, Ogata determined two things:
The first thing is that Morimaru can rely on something to confirm Ogata's location, it may be sound or smell.
The second thing is that Morimaru can walk silently, but it is extremely difficult for Ogata to judge Morimaru's position through sound.
After Morimaru smashed the oil lamp, Ogata immediately retreated, preparing to leave this darkness that was extremely beneficial to Morimaru.
But as soon as Ogata took a few steps back, Morimaru's slash came.
Even though he was no longer standing in the same place, Morimaru could still find his position accurately, which meant that Morimaru definitely had some method to confirm Ogata's position.
When Morimaru attacked just now, Ogata didn't hear Morimaru's footsteps at all. Morimaru could move silently, and his speed was not slow.
Ogata has experienced many battles, but this is his first time fighting when he is blind and his opponent can "see" him.
At this moment, what Ogata didn't know was that it wasn't just him who looked serious now.
His current opponent: Morimaru, also has a solemn look on his face.
This person is indeed a master.
Morimaru, who was standing some distance away from Ogata, still maintained his upper posture, tightening and loosening the fingers of the hands holding the knife, loosening and tightening again, secretly relaxing the muscles of his fingers and arms.
Just now, not only Ogata's extremely fast reaction speed surprised Morimaru, but the reaction force from the sword also made Morimaru feel stunned.
Morimaru relies on hearing sounds to determine the position and movements of others.
For him, it was just a piece of cake to hear whether someone drew a knife and which hand they used to grab it.
So just after Ogata pulled out the Taijitsu, Morimaru immediately sensed that Ogata had used the two-sword style.
He is worthy of being a swordsman of the Two-Sword style... his arm strength is truly admirable!
Trouble... that blow just now failed to defeat him...
…
…
The blind man must be very anxious now.
Ogata thought to himself.
The longer this battle drags on, the better it is for me. Once my eyes adjust to the darkness, his only advantage is gone.
…
…
When that warrior's eyes adapted to the darkness, that was the moment of my defeat. If we fought head-on, I had no chance of winning.
…
…
The blind man will definitely want a quick victory. He should place his hopes on the next attack.
…
…
Win quickly! Just use the next sword to defeat him!
…
…
Ogata Morimaru: The next blow will be the one that determines the outcome!
…
…
The two of them made the same judgment at the same moment and shouted the same words in their hearts.
Morimaru held his black sword high and approached Ogata at a leisurely pace with his self-created "silent pace".
While approaching Ogata, he listened carefully, listening to Ogata's breathing and the sound of wind caused by body movements, and confirmed Ogata's position.
Um?
It was okay if he didn't listen. Once he couldn't listen, Morimaru found that Ogata stood still and couldn't move.

I’ve reached 5,000 words, but I can’t finish it anymore…
The author's manuscript was really lost due to a computer crash... The author's laptop was an old product bought in the first year of high school, or a pirated win7 system. My computer's Word does not have an automatic saving function... I wanted to go there on a whim today.
I took this notebook with me to the library for coding.
It’s really not just making up an excuse to be lazy. If I want to be lazy, I can openly express my desire to take a rest, so why bother making up an excuse?
People are so maliciously speculating on me, saying that I made up excuses to say that my computer crashed just to be lazy, which makes me a little sad QAQ... If I really wanted to be lazy, I would have just said that I was taking a day off today instead of writing this 5,000-word essay.
