"Why did you stick the sword upside down on the ground..."
"Is this some kind of secret sword from Sakakibara's Ittoryu?"
"No way... In my impression, Sakakibara's Itto-ryu only has four moves, and there is no secret sword..."
…
Ogata inserted the sword in his hand upside down on the ground, which immediately aroused doubtful discussions among the dignitaries in the audience.
Not only the nobles in the audience were puzzled by Ogata's current strange behavior, but the masters and disciples of the Sakakihara Sword Hall at the east end of the competition ground were also confused by Ogata's strange posture.
mind.
"Hey...!" Yuan Shan said in a rather impatient tone, "What do you mean by this gesture?"
"Tighten your nerves, Toyama." Ogata firmly held the sword stuck on the ground with his right hand, "I will use this posture... to kill you in one breath!"
"Heh." Yuanshan let out his signature sneer, "Put the sword upside down on the ground - how are you going to kill me with such a posture?"
"If you can kill me, then come and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Toyama kicked the ground hard with his hind legs, causing a shower of broken sand to rush towards Ogata.
Looking at the distant mountains approaching him rapidly, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.
Use both feet to exert force, and the force is transmitted to the waist, and then from the waist to the right hand holding the sword.
Shalala!
Ogata suddenly raised the sword that was stuck upside down on the white sandstone ground.
The rising sword blade stirred up a "drizzle" of white sand and stone, heading towards the distant mountain pavement.
Looking at the "rain of white sand and gravel" coming from the pavement, Yuanshan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously raised his left hand to cover his face, forcing his forward steps to stop.
But Yuanshan's movements were still a beat slower.
Although Yuan Shan raised his left hand to protect his face as fast as he could, a few fine sand still hit Yuan Shan's eyes, causing Yuan Shan to close his eyes tightly due to pain.
"Ogata Issei! You despicable villain!!"
Toyama let out an angry roar while wildly waving the sword in his right hand, preventing Ogata from getting close.
Because his eyes were hit by fine sand, Toyama temporarily lost his vision. Before his vision recovered, Toyama could not only keep retreating to distance himself from Ogata, but also kept waving the sword in his hand to prevent Ogata from getting close.
There is nothing else that can be done.
Just when Yuan Shan used his left hand to scrape away the fine sand that had entered his eyes, so that he could reopen his eyes, a huge force suddenly came from the knife in his right hand.
This huge horizontal force directly pushed the knife in his right hand away, leaving him wide open.
Looking ahead at the distant mountains.
Ogata's left hand was seen holding his scabbard, and his right hand was still holding his katana.
Just now, after Ogata used the fine sand raised to temporarily take away Toyama's vision, he used his left hand to pull out the scabbard on his left waist as quickly as possible, holding the scabbard in his left hand and the knife in his right hand.
This was Ogata's impromptu plan just now - to use a knife inserted upside down on the ground covered with white gravel to raise a rain of white gravel, temporarily taking away the sight of the distant mountains.
Then, when the distant mountains are temporarily out of sight, hold the sheath with your left hand.
As for the next thing to do, it will be much easier.
boom!
With a muffled sound, Ogata used the scabbard to use the counter-blade of the Muga 2-sword style, blocking Toyama's sword and breaking through Toyama's defense.
Ogata's eyes were firmly fixed on Toyama's left armpit.
After blocking Toyama's sword with the scabbard, Ogata rushed straight towards Toyama's left armpit.
Ogata's head was almost close to Toyama's body, passing through Toyama's left armpit level.
As he passed by Toyama, Ogata stabbed the knife in his right hand firmly into Toyama's left abdomen.
From the blade to the tip of the knife, it completely cut across Yuan Shan's abdomen, and then the whole person passed through Yuan Shan's left armpit, and ran four steps behind Yuan Shan in one breath.
Ogata's knife directly cut open half of Toyama's abdomen.
Although the distant mountain was not cut into two halves in one go, it was almost there.
Only half of the flesh and blood left connected the upper body to the lower body of the distant mountain, and he was vomiting blood while looking at it.
A large amount of blood flowed out from this huge wound, staining the sand and soil at the foot of the distant mountains red.
"You... despicable person..."
Yuan Shan twisted his twitching head and looked behind him.
As soon as his eyes looked back, he saw a flash of white light.
After slashing Toyama in half, Ogata did not relax.
Instead, he quickly approached the distant mountains again.
While getting closer, throw away the scabbard in your left hand and hold the knife with both hands.
He grasped his sword tightly with both hands, and then swung the sword towards Yuan Shan's neck.
Until Toyama died completely, Ogata didn't think he could relax.
If Toyama didn't die completely, Ogata would help him die.
Yuan Shan, who was no longer able to raise his sword to block, could only watch in despair as the white light swept towards his neck...
…
…
Bang.
There was a soft and not heavy landing sound in the competition arena.
This was the sound made by Yuanshan's head after it fell to the ground.
Looking at the distant mountains where the corpses had been separated, Ogata finally felt relieved, took a deep breath, and then slowly exited the "Breath of the Source" state.
After Ogata chopped off Toyama's head, the martial arts arena was silent for a long time.
After a while, the sound of vomiting finally started to sound one after another.
The death situation in Yuanshan cannot be described as "tragic".
Half of the waist was cut open and the head was severed - many people vomited because they couldn't bear this bloody and cruel scene.
The world has been at peace for a long time. Although all the nobles in the audience are almost a long time old, they have never smelled the smell of war, let alone seen such a bloody fight to the death.
Many noble people in the audience vomited because they could not bear this cruel scene.
Many disciples from Sakakihara Kenkan and Ishikawa Kenkan also vomited because they could not bear this disgusting scene.
"Senior Yuanshan!"
"Brother!"
"Toyama-kun!"
…
Some disciples of Ishikawa Kenkan who resisted the desire to vomit quickly rushed to the competition ground while letting out painful wails.
Looking at the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan who rushed to the competition ground, Hanbei's pupils shrank slightly and secretly said "no".
Then Hanbei raised his sword and shouted:
"Protect Ogata!"
Then, he took the lead in rushing to the competition field.
The disciples of the Sakakihara Sword Hall, headed by Mikami and Makino, were stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what Hanbei meant by "protecting Ogata", so they quickly raised their respective swords,
Following closely behind Hanbei, he rushed to the competition ground.
Two groups of people arrived at the bodies of Ogata and Toyama at almost the same time.
Everyone at Sakakihara Kenkan firmly guarded Ogata in the middle.
The people at Ishikawa Kenkan were divided into two groups.
A group of people wailed while collecting the corpses from the distant mountains.
The other group of people had red eyes and glared angrily at the people at the Sakakihara Kenkan... To be precise, they should have been glaring at Ogata, who was firmly guarded by the people at the Sakakihara Kenkan.
