Chapter 669 Shura vs Demon, the confrontation between power and speed! 【4400】
The swordsman in front of him just raised his sword and took a stance, and he just made such a simple action.
But with such a simple action, there was no emotion other than "seriousness" on Zuemon's face.
He "saw" it.
I "saw" the moment when the swordsman's aura suddenly changed after he took up his stance.
It's like watching a stream suddenly swell and turn into a sea.
"...Don't forget your mission." Uemon said to the snipers behind him, "When I fight with Shura later, I will trap him as much as possible and let him
Don't move him."
"Anyway, you all should cheer up and wait for the opportunity to snipe Shura."
The 10 shooters standing behind Left and Right Gate, without exception, all looked pale, and some of them even had their teeth chattering.
Regarding the state of his subordinates, Zuoemon felt that it was understandable. If they could remain calm at this time, Zuoemon would find it strange.
Although these people are all well-trained warriors, they basically had no actual combat experience before tonight.
With no actual combat experience, it was extremely rare for them to be able to stand well and hold their guns steady after witnessing the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in front of them.
After giving the final instructions to the subordinates behind him, Zuemon slowly spread his legs, then silently put down the large naginata on his shoulders, pointing the tip of the sword diagonally at the ground.
The night wind, as if to avoid this place, slowly stopped at this moment.
The wind slowly stopped.
Everything around became completely silent.
Neither the swordsman nor Zuemon said a word to each other.
Because they both know - there is no need for words between them.
When they held the knife in front of them, they had already finished saying what each other wanted to say.
It was clear that the two parties had not said a word to each other, and it was clear that they had only gotten close to each other for the first time just now, but the two of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding - the two of them moved at the same time in perfect tacit understanding!
Cha-cha-cha!
Cha-cha-cha!
The sound of two rapid footsteps on the ground exploded at the same time.
Left and right, Maemon dragged his big naginata upside down and rushed towards the swordsman.
The swordsman also dragged his sword backwards and rushed towards the left and right gates.
——Chop it first and try it out!
Every time the left and right guards took a step forward, they gathered some strength in their arms.
He has high morale.
However, when he was calculating the distance between him and the swordsman, and preparing to strike hard at the swordsman's head... the swordsman in front of him suddenly jumped up and jumped onto the roof of the nearby house...
…
…
Having gone through hundreds of battles and having rich combat experience, Ogata also developed some discernment.
He could tell at just one glance - the 2-meter-tall strong man in front of him, Zuemon, was by no means an ordinary person.
How did you get it?
I can't explain clearly. In short, I can feel that he is a ruthless person.
Since the first attack tonight, Ogata has hardly had a good rest.
How many enemies had he killed in this neighborhood? Ogata couldn't remember clearly.
He only knew that after making a big fuss here, his physical strength was probably less than 40%, and the erosion of the "immortal poison" on his body not only did not improve, but actually got worse, and his head became even worse than before.
It hurts, feels swollen, and my hands and feet become heavier.
In my current state, it will take a lot of effort to defeat this big guy - Ogata concluded.
Having made this conclusion, Ogata immediately formulated a strategy to face the enemy: kill the shooters behind Zuemon first!
When fighting in groups, it is common sense to kill the enemy's long-range units first.
This big guy is difficult to deal with. When fighting him, in this state, I may not be able to concentrate on guarding against the black guns that may be fired by the shooters.
In this case, let's kill those shooters first, and then concentrate on dealing with this big guy!
Ogata's action of rushing straight towards Zuemon was just a fake move, causing Zuemon to mistakenly think that Ogata was going to confront him head-on. After deceiving Zuemon, he rushed up to the roof of the nearby house in one breath, and directly
Cut to the back row and attack the shooters behind the left and right gates.
Ogata's fake move was quite successful.
After Ogata ran up to the roof next to him without hesitation, both left and right gate's eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"After killing so many of our subordinates by myself, you can still be so agile..." Saemon quickly realized what Ogata was going to do and stopped in his tracks.
The 10 shooters brought by Uemon were frightened by the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of them, and their morale was low.
After seeing Ogata suddenly running towards them, they immediately changed their expressions with fright. They quickly scattered and evaded in all directions, while raising the flintlock guns in their hands and pointing them in the direction of Ogata, ready to attack Ogata at any time.
Square shot gun.
——The distance to the shooter...is about 18 steps...
After Ogata rushed to the roof, he quickly calculated the distance between him and the shooters, which was about 18 steps.
Even though he had fought a bloody battle with countless enemies and consumed a lot of energy, the only energy Ogata had left could still keep him wreaking havoc for a while.
In the blink of an eye, Ogata leaped six steps forward along the roof.
But at this moment... just as Ogata was faithfully executing his plan of "kill the shooter first, and then concentrate on killing the big guy", Ogata suddenly felt - the light on his right side suddenly
dark.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked to the right side of his body - on his right side, in mid-air outside the eaves, there was an extra left and right guard.
After realizing what Ogata wanted, Zuemon immediately launched a defensive attack.
He sprinted down the street, catching up with Ogata at a slightly faster speed than Ogata, and then jumped up high.
He obviously has a huge body of 2 meters tall, but his figure is like a flying swallow, and he jumped to the height of the eaves without any effort.
This time Ogata's eyes widened in shock.
Zuemon, who looked like he was flying in the air, looked at Ogata, who looked astonished, with a faint smile on his face.
With a smile on his face, he slammed the big naginata held high in his hand towards Ogata!
This series of changes all happened in a flash of lightning.
Fortunately - Ogata's reaction speed can also be described as lightning.
Ogata stopped suddenly and jumped back hard.
As soon as Ogata jumped away, Left and Right Gate's big naginata hit the spot where he was standing just now.
Click!
Boom!
The roof that was hit by Uemon's sword immediately shattered at the injured point, and the entire roof cracked around the injured area.
Sawdust flew and dust scattered.
Ogata jumped back and landed safely. Looking at the roof with a big hole cut out by a knife, Ogata murmured in a deep voice:
"Does it have both agility and strength..."
At the same time that Ogata landed, Zuemon also landed back on the street.
As soon as he landed back on the street, he jumped up again.
This time, he didn't use jumping chop again.
Instead, he jumped directly onto the roof and jumped in front of Ogata.
call--!
Opposite Ogata, Zuoemon, who was standing on the roof together, slashed at Ogata again.
The huge naginata blade slashed towards Ogata's head, compressing the atmosphere and carrying a terrifying momentum.
Just now, after witnessing Uemon's agile figure that quickly returned to defense, and his terrifying attack power that cut a big hole in the roof, the expression on Ogata's face became extremely serious and solemn.
He didn't try to directly meet Zuemon's attack.
Wu-I Two-Sword Style·Step forward!
Ogata did not retreat but moved forward. Just when Zuoemon's big naginata was about to hit him, he quickly took a step to the side and raised his waist. The blade of the naginata just rubbed Ogata's back.
Clothes passed by.
Ogata, who was leaning down, was silently accumulating strength in his back while dodging the attack.
As soon as the blade of Zuemon's naginata passed by, Ogata's upper body immediately bounced up like a spring!
Along with Ogata's upper body, what bounced up was the katana in his right hand!
The katana in Ogata's right hand drew an arc, passed through the air, and struck right at the left and right gate's chest.
But just when the tip of the knife was about to pierce Uchiemon's flesh, Uchiemon's naginata actually came back.
He drew the naginata in front of him and used the iron handle to deflect the sword's blow.
There are two significant differences between Uemon's naginata and ordinary naginata.
First, the blade of Uemon's naginata is wider, larger, and thicker.
Second, the handle of Uemon's naginata is made of solid steel.
Kara!
The blade of the katana came into contact with the iron handle of the naginata, causing little sparks to appear.
The two exchanged offense and defense in an instant, and no one was hurt.
Immediately afterwards, the two people standing on the roof of the same house jumped behind each other as if they had made an agreement in advance.
Ogata jumped to the easternmost point of the roof, handed the katana to his right hand and held it in one hand. With his free left hand, he pulled out the wakizashi from the sheath and switched to the two-sword style.
Zuemon jumped to the westernmost end of the roof, raised the large naginata in his hands, and switched to the most classic posture in the art of naginata.
——This big man is indeed no ordinary person...
Ogata's vigilance towards Zuemon has been raised to the highest level.
Through the simple confrontation just now, Ogata has intuitively felt the strength of Zuemon.
The skill of using the naginata is not very good, but his strength and speed are extremely abnormal.
His steps are nimble and his reactions are quick. Every slash he makes is like an artillery strike, fast and fierce.
According to Ogata's estimation, in terms of strength and agility, under normal circumstances he would be slightly inferior to Iemon...
Ogata regained the feeling after a long time... that feeling when he faced off against Shutaro who had taken "Yasha Maru".
——Is this guy the kind of monster with natural supernatural powers? Or did he take a drug similar to "Yaksha Pill"?
The war situation was so urgent that Ogata had no time to think about it.
After quickly judging that the current self, even if he defeated Zuemon, would be a miserable victory, he no longer hesitated——
[Ding! The host enters the "selfless realm"! 】
After cutting his breathing rhythm into the "Breath of the Source" rhythm as quickly as possible, Ogata clenched the two swords in his hands and rushed towards Zuemon.
After Ogata entered the state of selflessness, Zuoemon instinctively felt the change in Ogata's aura, frowned slightly, clenched his naginata tightly, and faced Ogata.
The two were separated for less than 3 seconds before they collided with each other again.
Ogata rushed towards Zuemon like a fierce bull, and the two swords in his hands were like two horns of a bull.
Zuoemon's arms were longer than Ogata's, and the length of his weapon was also longer than Ogata's sword, so Zuoemon was the first to attack.
This time Zuoemon used the "upstroke". Zuoemon's naginata slashed at Ogata's leg from bottom to top, but he was dodged again by Ogata's step.
Ogata rushed to Zuoemon before launching his attack.
The two knives slashed at the left and right guards from two different, awkward angles.
Uemon once again showed agility that was inconsistent with his huge body.
He twisted his body in a strange direction, and the blades of Ogata's double swords brushed against the bodies of the left and right guards.
Wakizashi cut into the air, and only the tip of the sword cut through Soumaemon's clothes.
Ogata and Zuemon passed by each other.
Ogata took advantage of the momentum of the cross and ran forward for a few steps, then stopped there and turned to look at Left and Right Gate. At the same time, Left and Right Gate also stopped and turned to look at Ogata.
Crack!
Ogata stepped forward with his back foot, leaped towards the left and right gates without a run-up, and used the force of gravity to chop down the katana that was raised above his head.
Suddenly a white blade flashed in the darkness.
Sakakihara's sword flow, water falling, luck!
The strongest cutting power of Suiluo combined with the power of Yunjin, the power of it made Zuoemon's expression change before the sword was struck.
However, Zuemon did not dodge.
He held the naginata horizontally in front of him, and then raised it above his head.
clang--!!
The impact and roar shook the atmosphere.
Sparks flew everywhere, metal rubbed against metal, making a sharp sound that was close to tearing the eardrums apart.
Uemon used the iron handle of the naginata and his own strong strength to receive Ogata's sharp blow.
"Drink!"
A fierce shout pierced Ogata's eardrums, and Uemon shouted like an ape. He pushed the naginata in his hand forward, and Ogata jumped back, fell back to the ground, and pulled away from him again.
The distance between the left and right gates.
The sound of straw sandals scraping against the wooden roof never stopped.
After pushing Ogata away, this time Zuemon took the initiative to attack Ogata.
He leaned forward and slashed at me like he was gliding on the ground.
When Ogata saw this, there was no trace of fear on his face, and he ran forward with the left and right guards at the same time.
The two figures passed each other again at dizzying speeds. At the moment when the two figures crossed each other, their weapons clashed several times, with clear sounds of mutual impact and fierce shouts coming out.
Ogata and Zuemon returned to their original positions - Ogata stood on the east eaves, and Zuemon stood on the west eaves.
In fact, it is useless to remember their positions.
After all, they were soon fighting together again.
Uemon suddenly changed the way he held the naginata. He held the lowest end of the naginata tightly - this was a trick that Ogata was very familiar with and it was also a trick he often used.
This kind of holding method can increase the attack distance of the weapon.
Uemon changed his grip and swung the naginata like a windmill.
He is the axis of the windmill, and this naginata is the blade of the windmill.
One flash, another flash!
The naginata drew a beautiful arc and slashed twice towards Ogata from a distance, but Ogata used his step to snatch them away.
The two of them were on this small roof, attacking and defending, fighting for each other.
The roof seemed to be unable to withstand the fierce fight between the two, and it began to make a "squeaking" sound as if it was about to break apart at any moment.
Not far away, the 10 shooters who had been told by Zuemon to "look for the right moment to shoot Ogata's black gun" stared dumbly at the rooftop which was now particularly "busy".
They couldn't see Ogata and Zuemon at all.
They only saw two afterimages repeatedly colliding, separated, colliding again, and separated again...
"Hey... do you remember what mission Uemon-sama gave us?"
"How do they want us to snipe when they fight like this?"

Although this chapter only has 4,400 words, the 4,000+ pure fighting chapters are more difficult to write than the 8,000+ pure literary chapters...
In order to allow readers to understand the whole process of the confrontation between Shura and Demon, and to make the battle between Shura and Demon more cinematic, so that readers can have the feeling of watching animation, I started this chapter today at noon
Now that I have written qaq, it is indeed easier to write dramas...
