After the brief confrontation with Toyotomi ended, and Toyotomi took the initiative to retreat and put some distance between him and Ogata, Ogata heard Genichi beside him lower his voice again and whisper to him.
"Nobuhide... he just... indeed took something that could enhance his strength... His current strength and speed... have increased a lot..."
Genichi had been paying close attention to the brief confrontation between Ogata and Toyotomi just now.
Therefore, he clearly realized that Toyotomi's current strength and speed had greatly increased compared to the moment when he had just started the decisive battle.
"...This is really not good news." Ogata shook his shoulders and sighed half-jokingly in a low voice.
Just now, Genichi quietly informed him: Toyotomi ate something that greatly increased his strength and successfully withstood Genichi's killing blow. Ogata was already mentally prepared for the strength of Toyotomi Nobuhide in front of him.
The mental preparation was far stronger than he expected.
However, even though he had been mentally prepared in advance, Ogata couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the strength Toyotomi showed just now.
During the brief confrontation with Toyotomi just now... the memory of when he and Omachi worked together to defeat the big bear in Ezochi, appeared in Ogata's mind uncontrollably.
The sword wielded by Toyotomi was as heavy and swift as a bear's paw! It felt as if just one blow from the blade would cause the body to be torn apart like pieces of paper.
It seems... this battle will not be so easy to determine the winner...
Ogata pursed his lips, and then silently opened his system interface:
[Name: Ogata Issei]
[Current personal level: LV41 (5820/6600)]
[Personal attributes:
Power: Incalculable
Agility: hard to measure
Reflex nerves: difficult to measure
Physical strength: hard to measure
Vitality: cannot be calculated]
【Skill:
[Sakakihara Itto-ryu Level: 14th Dan (10335/14000)
Since last night, fierce battles have continued one after another. Last night, there was a fierce battle with the musketeers headed by Iemon in Osaka, and then today there was a "cross-sea raid" on Toyotomi's two battleships.
The overwhelming battle naturally also caused Ogata's experience in each experience bar to increase massively.
When his personal level was upgraded by 1 level, Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu and Iga-ryu forbidden jutsu were each upgraded by 1 level, which were already only one step away from being upgraded, bringing a total of 5 skill points to Ogata.
Coupled with the 2 skill points that were originally saved, after Ogata upgraded "Step" to "Grandmaster Level" last night, the skill points that had become slightly "poor" became "rich" again.
However, although he has become "rich" again, the number of 7 skill points is a little bit subtle...
Personal attributes such as strength and agility have now been turned into gibberish due to the "Immortal Power". There is no longer a need to spend skill points on improving personal attributes, they can only be used to increase skill levels.
However, to upgrade a "master-level" skill to a "grandmaster-level", 8 skill points are needed, and Ogata is still 1 point short...
7 skill points...can at most upgrade an "advanced" skill to "master level".
Fighting against the monster Toyotomi... Even if you temporarily upgrade a certain "advanced" skill to "master level", it will not have any important impact on the battle situation...
Do we still have to rely on the "selfless state" or that...
Ogata silently closed his personal system interface.
Even without touching it with his hands, Ogata could feel a small medicine box lying quietly in his arms.
Although the confrontation with Toyotomi just now was brief, this brief confrontation allowed Ogata to roughly understand that Toyotomi's strength and swordsmanship skills were far inferior to his, but in terms of strength, speed and other physical functions...Toyotomi's current
I'm afraid he is one step ahead of his normal self.
If he didn't enter the "state of selflessness" or use the thing in the pill box... Under normal circumstances, Ogata would probably be able to fight Toyotomi in an inextricable battle, unable to determine the outcome in a short period of time.
Do you want to enter the "state of no-self" now...?
According to Mr. Yuan Yiyi, what did this lunatic eat to increase his strength dramatically...
God knows whether this lunatic can continue to grow in strength by continuing to eat that "unknown object"...
If you enter the "realm of no self" now... maybe you will force that lunatic to continue eating the "unknown object" and continue to increase his strength...
Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment...
A plan that suited Ogata's personal style was slowly taking shape in Ogata's mind.
And just at this time
"Ogata Ittosai."
Toyotomi, who had just "received a sword" with Ogata, glanced at his left hand that had recovered as before, and a hint of curiosity could be seen in Toyotomi's eyebrows.
"Where did your 'immortal power' come from?"
"...I don't need to answer you." Ogata silently returned the two swords in his hands to his body.
"Don't you want to answer..." Toyotomi shrugged, "Okay, you can talk or not. Anyway, I'm not that interested."
Having said that, Toyotomi slowly raised his sword just like Ogata did.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until the 'Edo War' was completed, and then slowly try to deal with you, who is far more troublesome than I expected."
"But I didn't expect that you could still chase me from Mount Koya to here."
"Forget it! Since you are so difficult to deal with, let's just get rid of this big trouble of yours tonight and let out the evil spirit of Shiranui's destruction!"
"Although I failed to kill my uncle, in terms of the result, the plan of 'defeating you one by one so that you and your uncle cannot fight side by side' can be regarded as completed in disguise."
"Come on, Ogata Ittosai!"
Toyotomi raised his eyebrows and showed a ferocious smile.
"As long as I kill you again, there will be no obstacles to heading east to Edo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Toyotomi changed his sword-holding posture to the "eight pairs" posture, and walked straight towards Ogata with a rapid pace!
[Note·Bashuang: Hold the knife with both hands and stand the knife vertically in front of the right side of the body.]
In almost a blink of an eye, Toyotomi crossed the distance of more than ten steps from Ogata and came close to Ogata, causing the light in front of Ogata to dim suddenly.
Yoshimitsu Kushoku was held high in the eight-pair stance, and then he launched an unpretentious but extremely destructive diagonal slash at Ogata.
Ogata snorted coldly, twisted his body, and used the step-step of Mugo Two Swordsman style, and dodged to the side.
Crack! Boom!
Yoshimitsu's bones hit the railing of the ship behind Ogata.
The railing on the ship's side that was hit by Toyotomi's sword immediately shattered at the injured area, as if it had been struck by a tiger's paw or a bear's paw, and a large area of the railing with the injured area as the center of the circle cracked.
Sawdust flew with the raindrops.
Ogata jumped to the side and landed safely. After glancing at the smashed ship railing, he stepped on his back foot and launched a counterattack!
Sakakihara Ittōryu·Bird Thorn!
Bird Sting has both speed and lethality, and has always been Ogata's favorite and skillful move.
But this favorite move of his, Toyotomi turned his body slightly and easily dodged it. While dodging, he pointed Yoshimitsu Koshoku's blade at Ogata's head again.
call!
Yoshimitsu Koshoku's blade drew an arc and slashed towards Ogata's forehead from bottom to top. The blade compressed the air and carried a terrifying momentum.
This time, Ogata didn't dodge.
He moved the five fingers of his left hand, switching the freedom of movement to a reverse grip, and struck at the blade of Jiguang Gushu!
clang!!
The two swords, which were both sharpened from iron to clay, collided together, emitting a sound that seemed to shatter the railings of the ship next to them.
After relying on his own arm strength and the blade counter in the Mugo 2-sword style to forcibly catch Toyotomi's sword, Ogata silently accumulated strength on his back, and then bounced his upper body and the Daishiten on his right hand upwards like springs.
Daishiten crossed the layers of rain and struck directly at Toyotomi's chin.
Just when the tip of the knife was about to hit Toyotomi's chin, Toyotomi retrieved Yoshimitsu's bones in time
clang!!
The sound of gold and iron hitting each other that made the eardrums hurt came out again.
Toyotomi, who returned Yoshimitsu's bones to the defense in time, deflected Daishiten's slashing attack.
Click.
Toyotomi's arms shook, shaking away Daishiten who was standing with his Yoshimitsu skeleton, and then took half a step back, slightly widening the distance between him and Ogata.
Knives... especially knives with a certain length like a katana, if they are too close to the target, it will be inconvenient to swing them.
Just now, Toyotomi was too close to Ogata, so now he took the initiative to take half a step back, creating a distance from Ogata that was convenient for him to swing his sword.
Toyotomi used "top tease" this time.
Yoshimitsu's bones slashed at Ogata's legs from bottom to top. The force contained in the blade was so strong that no one doubted that if Yoshimitsu's bones were struck, Ogata's legs would be easily crushed like a fragile dead branch.
split into two.
Facing Toyotomi's attack, Ogata advanced instead of retreating. When Toyotomi's Yoshimitsu Kushoku was about to hit his leg, he quickly took a step to the side, and Yoshimitsu Kushoku's blade just scraped.
The hem of Ogata's hakama was swept over.
Huh... no wonder Zuemon and the others were beaten so badly by Ogata Ittosai in Osaka last night.
Since the war started, not only Ogata has been observing Toyotomi, but Toyotomi is also observing Ogata, who has never fought with him before.
He has a physical quality that is far beyond that of ordinary people given by the "power of immortality". In terms of physical fitness, he is far superior to Zuemon, Yoshihisa and the others who obtained the "power of immortality" through the C-Pan.
Although the swordsmanship skills displayed are not as good as those of Genichi, they are just not as good as Genichi. In terms of level, Ogata's swordsmanship skills are definitely among the best in the world.
Toyotomi's evaluation of Ogata is that he has both physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people and top-notch swordsmanship.
After the battle with Ogata, Toyotomi finally understood why Zuemon and the others suffered a disastrous defeat in Osaka last night.
Overall...my side has a slight advantage.
The corners of Toyotomi's mouth turned up slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Although Ogata's swordsmanship level was superior to his, through several sword fights with Ogata, Toyotomi had clearly felt that in terms of physical fitness, he had the upper hand.
Although Ogata's swordsmanship is better than his, the gap between him and Ogata's swordsmanship is far less than the gap between him and Genichi.
Toyotomi is no longer in such a hurry as he was when he fought Genichi just now.
When he was fighting Genichi just now, he was in a hurry to get rid of Genichi, a big threat, before Ogata arrived, so Toyotomi couldn't afford to delay or waste him.
But now the situation has changed.
Genichi has temporarily lost his ability to fight, and only Ogata can still pose a huge threat to him.
Toyotomi, who was no longer in a hurry, was happy to accompany Ogata to fight and fight Ogata in a war of attrition.
He is quite confident that if he and Ogata get into a war of attrition, he will only slowly gain the upper hand due to his superior physical fitness!
Toyotomi, who thought he had the upper hand, even brought a bit of lightness to the trajectory of his sword swing.
The sound of straw sandals scraping against the deck has never stopped since just now.
After dodging Ogata's sword again, Toyotomi turned the blade and switched the method of holding the sword to a reverse grip.
I am flowing and the tiger is falling!
This move is not a sword skill from any school, but a sword skill created by Toyotomi himself. It is also the most proud of the many sword skills he created.
Toyotomi has always been proud of the powerful power of this move.
As soon as his figure flashed, Toyotomi rushed straight towards Ogata. After rushing to the best attack position, he hacked out the Yoshimitsu bone food that was held behind his back.
The sharp blade, like a tiger descending from the mountain, pounced on Ogata from above.
Ogata raised his eyes and glanced at the falling blade.
"call……"
I saw him let out a long breath, and then switched the Daishizuo in his left hand to the upper stance, and the Daishiten in his right hand to the lower stance, and faced Toyotomi with a momentum that seemed like he would not hesitate to collide with Toyotomi!
Ogata swung his body to avoid Toyotomi's tiger attack, and then swung his two swords. The two swords slashed at Toyotomi from two different directions with tricky angles.
Toyotomi once again demonstrated his strong physical fitness brought by his "immortal power".
He twisted his body in a strange direction, and the blades of Ogata's double swords brushed against his body.
Both Mahabhakta and Mahavatar were just passing through the air in vain.
The two people rushed toward each other and passed each other.
Taking advantage of the forward momentum, Toyotomi ran a few steps forward after the stagger, then immediately stopped and turned around quickly, facing Ogata again.
His original intention was to turn around and then pursue Ogata.
However... I saw that after he turned around
Woo!
The atmosphere made an unusual rumbling sound...
As soon as he turned his body back to face Ogata, Toyotomi saw a dazzling silver light filling his eyes.
Da Shitian drew a perfect arc like the crescent moon in the night sky and slashed towards the upper half of his head!
This slash was more powerful and faster than any attack Toyotomi had seen since his battle with Ogata!
This feeling... is like when playing with a cat, the kitten that has been making cute "meow punches" suddenly swings out a claw like "tiger paw slap"...
The sudden change caused Toyotomi's eyes to shrink violently and his expression became startled.
And when his eyes widened in shock and daze, he saw Ogata in front of him, his chest rising and falling with a strange rhythm.
There is still a bright light flashing in his eyes!

The author has to go back to his hometown to visit his grave in the past few days, so the number of updates may be a little less. I hope everyone can forgive me! (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)
In everyone's eyes, Ogata-kun seems to have not used the power of the system for a long time, but this is just everyone's misunderstanding. In fact, there is no such thing. In the current timeline of this book, Ogata was with the left and right people last night
When Emon started the first confrontation, he had the power of the useful system to upgrade his step to "Grand Master Level". So there is no such thing as "Ogata Forgetting System", he just used it last night.
As Ogata's biggest cheat, the system naturally has no role in the final battle.
The author will give it a cool scene.
What kind of role will he have? Well, please read on slowly. Now that you have seen it, you must have confidence in the author's screenwriting ability.
