The wide-eyed face of Zuemon is very close at hand.
The screams that reached Ogata's ears were the voices of the 10 shooters brought by Uemon.
Although Ogata and Zuoemon kept fighting each other, so that they could not find the opportunity to snipe, they still followed Ogata and the two of them diligently. Wherever Ogata and Zuoemon hit, they followed
Follow wherever you go.
They witnessed the entire process of Uemon's throat and heart being pierced. Some of them managed to maintain their composure, but some of them could not help but scream.
Success...
Finally defeated this guy...
Ogata let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Stepping on the tip of the naginata stabbed by the enemy in mid-air, using it as a foothold and a point of exertion, it is probably only the first step to level up to the "Grandmaster Level" that can make this god-level scene appear.
Ogata had never tried such a bold approach, so Ogata was sweating just now.
Fortunately, his bold attack plan succeeded, and Ogata was finally relieved.
Click.
There was a sound like a knife cutting meat.
Ogata turned the wakizashi and katana, making the two swords rotate in a circle inside Zuemon's body, and then pulled them out of Zuemon's body.
The muscles contracted due to the severe pain and clamped the blade of the knife, making it easier to pull out the knife, but at the same time, the injury was further amplified, leaving Iemon to die.
Okay... Next... let's defeat the shooters brought by this big man, and then take a short rest...
Although the battle with Zuemon lasted less than 3 minutes from beginning to end, the battle only lasted for 3 minutes. Its intensity was so intense that it really made Ogata's fatigue worse.
A lot.
Ogata pulled the sword out of Zuemon's body while thinking about his next action plan.
However……
Just when Ogata pulled out the sword and wakizashi from Saemon's body, Saemon's body shook and was about to fall to the ground.
Snapped!
Ogata suddenly felt his right shoulder being grasped by a big hand like a cattail leaf fan!
The sudden change made Ogata's pupils shrink suddenly.
The owner of this big palm-like hand is none other than Iemon, who is supposed to be about to expire!
Uchiemon, who was swaying just now and looking like he was about to fall to the ground, suddenly stood firm and raised his huge left hand to grab Ogata's right shoulder.
Waves of intense shock and shock hit Ogata's brain, like a cool breeze whistling in Ogata's head.
The fighting instinct cultivated through years of fighting came into play again at this moment.
Ogata's body reacted one step ahead of his brain and quickly backed away! Putting distance between him and Zuemon!
His reaction was very quick, and he was already the first to react.
But... we were still half a step behind because we were robbed of the opportunity...
Bang!
Uchiemon bent his right leg and used his knee to hit Ogata's abdomen in front of him.
Ogata's stomach was so firmly swallowed by Soemon's knee.
Ogata's body was centered on the area hit by the knee, bent into a bow shape, and flew backwards. After flying back a full 2 steps, Ogata finally adjusted his body shape and stabilized
Landed.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Ogata coughed violently.
Now there is one good thing and one bad thing in Ogata's body.
The good thing is that his katana and wakizashi were still in his hands.
The "swordsman's instinct" allowed Ogata to subconsciously hold on to the swords and not let them go, even if he was hit by a knee from Uemon.
The bad thing was that Saemon's knee-bump just now made Ogata feel that his internal organs were about to move out of place, a sweet taste came out of his throat, and the saliva he spat out when he coughed hard was full of a lot of
Bloodshot.
Damn, damn...!
Ogata coughed vigorously while glaring at Zuemon, who looked very scary now.
There is now a hole stabbed by a knife in the throat and heart of both left and right gates from the front to the back.
A large amount of blood came out from these two holes, dyeing most of the left and right guards' bodies red and bloody.
With this appearance, there is no way to equate him with a living person.
However, the fact is that it is so amazing that Iemon's eyes are still full of light and energy, and he can still kick a powerful knee that Ogata has not recovered from until now.
Ogata can guarantee 100% that his katana and wakizashi were not stabbed in the wrong position just now, and indeed pierced both the heart and throat of Zuemon.
Not only was it punctured, but it was also turned in a circle when it was pulled back, aggravating the injury.
Either of these two injuries, the throat being penetrated and the heart being penetrated, can make a person die beyond death.
Zuemon, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly "resurrected" and Ogata suddenly remembered that he had seen a very similar scene before on Butterfly Island.
In the past on Butterfly Island, I had dealt with people like this who should have died but did not.
Immortal...!
As soon as the word "immortal" came out of Ogata's mind, a terrifying wind pressure sounded in front of him.
This is the wind pressure caused by Uemon turning his large naginata.
call!
The blade of the naginata whizzed towards Ogata's head.
Ogata gritted his teeth and rolled to the right.
Although he dodged the slash, he did so very narrowly, and the blade of the naginata almost grazed Ogata's left shoulder.
boom!
The empty naginata hit the wooden bridge, leaving a large hole in the wooden bridge that led directly to the turbulent flow below.
The extra holes in his throat and heart didn't seem to have much of an impact on Iemon's strength.
Zuemon raised his naginata again at a very fast speed, and then launched a sharp attack on Ogata on the wooden bridge.
And at this moment, Ogata discovered the strange red blood threads on Zuoemon's wounds, emerging from Zuoemon's wounds like disgusting bugs.
These insects are entangled together, filling and repairing the wounds of Zuemon...
hateful……
While Ogata endured the severe pain in his abdomen, he worked hard to dodge Ichiemon's attacks.
The knee strike that Uemon had just had had a huge impact on Ogata.
The knee is one of the hardest and most powerful weapons in the human body, and the one who kicked this knee was Uemon, whose strength and speed were already amazing.
Ogata felt as if a motorcycle had hit his stomach.
The severe pain in his abdomen not only made it difficult for Ogata to concentrate, but also made Ogata's movements slow and stiff.
Zuemon also discovered that Ogata was in a very bad state due to the sneak attack he just made, so he accelerated the frequency of attacks, not giving Ogata any chance to breathe.
Bang!
After blasting out a large hole in the bridge that led directly to the river below, Zuemon quickly changed his posture and swept the knife towards Ogata's feet with a sweeping motion.
Ogata covered his aching abdomen with his left hand holding his wakizashi, jumped to the side, and jumped onto the handrail of the bridge next to him.
As soon as Ogata jumped onto the handrail, the naginata blades of the left and right gates seemed to be equipped with trackers, chasing Ogata from bottom to top.
Ogata jumped again.
Bang!
The row of gauntlets he was standing on just now was swept away by the left and right guards like toppled building blocks.
Ogata fell from the gauntlet back to the ground.
Due to his extremely poor physical condition, Ogata finally made a mistake. When jumping away from the gauntlet, he failed to adjust his body posture properly in mid-air.
After falling back to the bridge, his body posture was incorrect, causing Ogata to stumble a few steps on the bridge.
In a duel between masters, a moment's mistake will bring disaster. This sentence is perfect to describe Ogata at this time.
Naturally, Zuemon will not let go of this golden opportunity of "Ogata revealing his flaws".
With his left foot as the center, he transferred the power from the foot to the waist, and then from the waist to the arms holding the sword. He raised the big naginata high with the momentum as if he wanted to cut Ogata into two neat halves.
, and then struck Ogata heavily from top to bottom.
The instability of his posture meant that Ogata had no time to use stepping steps to dodge.
So Ogata gritted his teeth, folded the two swords in his hands to form a cross, raised them up, and faced the incoming large naginata.
clang!
Click!
The sound of metal clashing and blade breaking sounded almost simultaneously.
When Ogata used the wakizashi and the katana to form the "ten" character this time to defend, he placed the wakizashi on top of the katana, mainly using the wakizashi to block the attacks of the left and right guards.
After Ogata's wakizashi, who held the left and right Emon Naginata, collided together, Ogata's wakizashi finally shattered due to the heavy load, leaving only a hilt and a half-finger-long blade of the entire wakizashi.
Ogata also reacted quickly. When he saw that the wakizashi was broken, he immediately threw it away.
His right hand continued to hold the unbroken katana, and his left hand pressed the back of the katana, using both arms to push back the pressing large naginata.
Squeaky...
The two supermen, whose strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, firmly planted their feet on the bridge, exerting force on the corners, and the wooden bridge under their feet groaned in pain.
Ogata did not hold anything back and tried his best, but... Zuemon's naginata blade still pressed down little by little, gradually approaching Ogata's neck.
Squeaky...!
The groaning sound of the wooden bridge became louder.
The hole in Left and Right Gate's throat has been blocked with the cooperation of those red blood threads.
The repair of his throat also allowed Uemon to finally speak normally.
"The sneak attack I just made had a big impact on you." Zuemon said in a joking tone.
Ogata ignored Zuoemon's taunts and just gritted his teeth silently, trying hard to stop Zuoemon's naginata blade from approaching his neck.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Ogata had to agree that what Uemon just said was true. The severe pain in his abdomen made it difficult for Ogata to use almost 30% of his strength.
This bad influence made Ogata unable to compete with Zuemon in terms of strength.
Ogata could only watch as the huge naginata blade got closer and closer to his left neck.
"As expected of Shura..." Zuemon murmured, "Seeing death getting closer and closer to me, how can I still maintain such a calm expression..."
Although Uemon said this in an admiring tone, the movements of his hands showed no mercy.
Squeaky!
The groaning sound of the wooden bridge further increased.
The large naginata kept breaking through the obstruction of the sword attack, and its height reached from Ogata's head to... Ogata's right neck.
With Zuemon's full expectation, the blade of the naginata finally cut into the flesh of Ogata's right neck.
The skin of Ogata's right neck had been cut by the sharp naginata blade.
Ogata's current appearance was as if he was carrying Ichiemon's naginata on his right shoulder.
Left and right gate's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
He almost knew it!
He was still a little short of taking Ogata's life and successfully completing the mission entrusted to them by Toyotomi-sama.
This joy made Zuemon feel a little stronger in his body.
He did not hesitate to pour the extra strength in his body into his arms, in order to take away the lives of left and right gates as soon as possible.
Left and right gates looked ecstatic.
As for Ogata, he remained quite calm.
Even though he was no match for Zuemon's strength at this moment, even though Zuemon's sword had already cut into his right neck, and he was only one last step away from taking his life, Ogata still remained calm.
He did not give up the confrontation with Zuemon, and was still calmly thinking about ways to break the situation and counterattack.
The blade of the naginata has cut deeper and deeper.
More and more blood emerged from the growing wound on Ogata's right neck.
Go to hell quickly! Shura!
Zuemon shouted excitedly and excitedly in his heart.
But at this moment
Squeaky!!
Click, click, click!
The groan of the wooden bridge suddenly increased by an order of magnitude.
Immediately afterwards, a harsh crackling sound exploded.
The wooden bridge under Ogata and Zuemon's feet turned into pieces, large and small, like torn pieces of paper.
This simple wooden bridge had two large holes on the bridge deck after suffering two heavy blows from Zuemon just now. These two large holes caused serious damage to the structure of the bridge.
It is an unchanging theorem in martial arts that force rises from the ground.
In order to defeat the opponent in the wrestling, both Ogata and Left and Right Gate would firmly put their feet on the bridge and step on it.
In other words, the bridge, which was already crumbling due to structural damage, finally fell apart due to the overwhelming force after being further stamped on by Ogata and Zuemon.
The first place to break was Ogata's feet.
Ogata, who put all his body and mind into the struggle with Zuemon, and was already in poor physical condition, was not prepared for the changes at his feet.
"Eh?"
Ogata let out a dumb "huh" sound, and then fell into the turbulent flow below along with the fragments of the wooden bridge under his feet.
As he fell into the turbulent flow below, Ogata, who had not fully reacted, suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. As he fell into the turbulent flow, the back of Ogata's head accidentally knocked down the bridge pier below...
The bridge deck under Zuoemon's feet did not break immediately, so he reacted in time.
He quickly jumped back and jumped out of the bridge in one breath. He quickly glanced at the river, looking for Ogata's figure who fell into the river along with the fragments of the bridge.
Ogata, still holding the knife tightly in his hand, drifted rapidly downstream under the turbulent current.
Because the water flow was very fast, Ogata disappeared in the blink of an eye...
Saemon's current expression... looks like he's eaten shit.
He stared at the direction where Ogata was swept away, his face turning blue and white: "Damn... what's going on? It's just a little bit... It's obvious that I could have taken Shura's life...
!”
"Z, Zuoemon-sama..." The 10 shooters brought by Zuoemon gathered around with different expressions.
These 10 people now feel at a loss...
They all just saw it with their own eyes... Zuemon, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly started to struggle with Ogata in a lively manner.
This scene was so shocking that these 10 people now didn’t even know what to say to Iemon.
Finally, someone had the courage to ask Zuoemon:
"Samaemon-sama, the place where you were stabbed by Shura just now...are you okay?"
Those who stand out usually don't end well.
As soon as the brave shooter finished speaking, Zuemon shouted in a rude tone:
"If something happened to me, would I still be standing like this?!"
"Don't just stand here stupidly! Go outside and call all the people to chase Shura along the river! We must not let Shura have a chance to breathe!"
…
…
Why did I fall into the water again?!
Ogata felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with water tonight.
He had just climbed out of the river, but fell back into the river a short time later.
The river Ogata fell into this time was not the gentle canal he had just swam in, but an extremely fast stream.
The water is not only fast but also very deep.
Ogata put his feet down, but he couldn't find the bottom.
He tried to stabilize his body in the turbulent water, but failed. The reason was because of his dizzy head.
Just now, when he fell into the river along with the fragments of the wooden bridge, Ogata's head accidentally hit the bridge pier.
First, there was a burst of pain from the place where he was knocked. Then, with the place where he was knocked as the center, a feeling of dizziness spread to Ogata's entire brain.
Although I tried to resist, the dizziness became stronger and stronger.
The intense dizziness made Ogata feel that the power in his body was being continuously drained away.
Now is not...the time to sleep...
After using up his last bit of strength and murmuring like this in his heart, Ogata's remaining consciousness was finally shattered by the dizziness.
Unable to resist his physiological reaction, Ogata slowly closed his eyes uncontrollably.
The body floated straight downstream with the current.
