Chapter 732 Ogata Flow VS Ogata Flow VS Ogata Flow [5500]
clang!
The raised Yoshimitsu Kushoku blocked Ogata's horizontal slash.
After the defense was successful, Toyotomi jumped 2 steps toward the right rear.
Ogata stared closely at Toyotomi's face at this moment, and no longer saw any smile on Toyotomi's face.
Did I see it wrong just now?
This idea first popped up in Ogata's mind.
But as soon as this idea came up, Ogata rejected it himself.
He was sure that he had seen it right just now.
Just now, there was indeed a smile on Toyotomi's face.
Toyotomi...what are you laughing at...?
Although he was already in deep adversity, he still smiled... Toyotomi's smile just now made Ogata feel a little creepy.
While feeling horrified, the ominous premonition in my heart became even stronger...
Only by intensifying the attack on Toyotomi can Ogata feel a little more at ease.
When Ogata raised his vigilance to the highest level and continued to suppress Toyotomi unilaterally,
Plop, plop, plop, plop...
The sound of dense heavy objects falling into the water reached their ears.
The two of them happened to be standing on the side of the ship now.
Almost at the same time, the two of them used the corner of their eyes to see what the sound of falling water was about. It turned out that heavy objects were being pushed out of the cabin and pushed into the sea.
After noticing that the crew members in the cabin were throwing heavy objects into the sea,
What is that...!*2
Ogata and Toyotomi exclaimed with exactly the same content in their hearts.
The two of them had been busy fighting just now, so they didn't notice until now that the Gourd Maru, which was located behind and to the side of the Nikki Maru, was heading straight towards the Nikki Maru... The distance between the two ships was only about 10 meters.
Looking at the battleships that were ramming this way, both Ogata and Toyotomi couldn't help but look startled.
Toyotomi was shocked as to why Gokumaru suddenly collided with Hiikimaru.
As for Ogata... the reason for his shock was slightly different.
For no reason, he suddenly recalled... what Mamiya said to him when he and Mamiya and the others were separated:
(Ogata-kun, please go ahead and support Gendai and the others. Makimura and I will rush over later and meet you on the Nikki Maru)
However, even though the two of them looked stunned, they were only stunned for a moment.
There is a powerful enemy in front of us, and no one dares to distract attention casually.
What on earth happened? Why did Hulu Wan suddenly hit this side... The two of them didn't even have time to think about these questions.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they glanced at Gianlumaru, who was getting closer and closer. After being stunned for a moment, Ogata and Toyotomi both turned their attention back and continued to focus their full attention on the enemy in front of them.
I don’t have time to worry about these things!*2
They both shouted in their hearts at the same time.
In order to inflict maximum damage on Toyotomi, Ogata has always adopted the strategy of "attacking Toyotomi's two important parts with two swords respectively", making Toyotomi lose sight of one thing and find it difficult to parry.
The effect of Ogata's strategy is obvious.
Toyotomi, who could often only avoid one of Ogata's swords but could not avoid Ogata's other sword, was like a sandbag and was constantly beaten by Ogata.
If the fight continues like this, Ogata will achieve complete victory, but it is only a matter of time.
However, fighting is like this, no matter what happens, it is not surprising.
The change came so quietly.
After forcing Toyotomi to dodge backward again, Ogata turned around and slashed at Toyotomi who had just had time to stand upright.
Toyotomi raised his gaze expressionlessly and looked at the blade heading straight for him.
This time, Toyotomi did not dodge in a hurry, nor did he immediately raise his sword to defend himself.
Instead...he showed the same...meaningful smile that Ogata had seen just now.
The ominous premonition in Ogata's heart that he had just suppressed a moment ago emerged with force again...
I saw this meaningful smile appear on the corner of Toyotomi's mouth for a moment.
"puff!"
Toyotomi opened his mouth, and a large drop of water flew out of his mouth and splashed towards Ogata's face.
Looking at the large ball of water mist coming towards him, Ogata's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
rainwater……!
If it were saliva, Toyotomi would not have been able to accumulate such a large amount in such a short period of time.
The only explanation Ogata could think of was that when Toyotomi was fighting with him just now, he had been secretly accumulating raindrops in his mouth with the help of "timing".
The current rain is so heavy that it doesn't take a moment to accumulate a mouthful of rainwater.
The distance between him and Ogata was only a short distance away.
Even if the body now has the "power of immortality" and has entered the "state of selflessness", some of the human body's instinctive reactions cannot be eliminated.
In order to prevent the raindrops spitted out by Toyotomi from getting into his eyes, Ogata subconsciously tilted his head to the side, so that most of the rainwater only hit the air behind Ogata.
Ogata's movements... paused uncontrollably because of this...
The rainwater spit out did not cause any serious harm to Ogata, but Toyotomi's purpose had been achieved.
Ogata was disturbed by the rainwater he suddenly spit out. Toyotomi, who had achieved his goal, took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and used all his strength to retreat quickly to avoid Ogata's sword.
In a short time, he and Ogata were nearly 5 steps away from each other.
Oops……!
After secretly shouting "Oh no!", Ogata quickly chased after Toyotomi who had distanced himself from him.
Although the distance between him and Toyotomi was only about 5 steps.
But this distance...for these two guys who are already extraordinary, it is a distance that is enough to drastically change the situation of the battle.
Toyotomi desperately, like a hungry tiger that has been hungry for a long time, pounced on... Genichi who was not far away!
Seeing Toyotomi rushing towards him, Genichi wanted to raise his sword and fight, but for Genichi who couldn't even stand up now, continuing to raise his sword and fight... was really too extravagant...
"Stop! Ogata Ittosai!"
Ogata has tried his best to pursue Toyotomi, but... there is really too little time left for Ogata to pursue Toyotomi...
The distance from Toyotomi to Genichi is less than 10 steps.
Such a small distance... whether it is to Ogata or Toyotomi, it only takes the blink of an eye to leap across the distance in one breath.
Even though Ogata pursued him as quickly as possible, Toyotomi's plan succeeded because he had the upper hand.
Toyotomi threw himself behind Genichi who was exhausted, covered Genichi's mouth with his left hand, and held a knife on Genichi's neck with his right hand.
When Ogata saw this, his expression changed slightly uncontrollably, and then he stopped pursuing.
"...I used Miss Lin as a hostage before and seriously injured Mr. Gendai." Ogata said solemnly, "Now I use Mr. Gendai to threaten me..."
Looking at Genichi who was now being held hostage by Toyotomi, Ogata couldn't help but cursed secretly, and then said in his heart:
I see...from now on...this guy's goal is to kidnap Mr. Gendai...!
At this moment, after seeing Genichi being held hostage, Ogata belatedly realized that probably from just now, when Toyotomi was dodging his attacks, he had been dodging in the direction of Genichi.
"In order to defeat you, I have thought of many ways." Toyotomi grinned, "But after much deliberation, this method of 'taking people as hostages' is the most convenient and reliable."
Genichi, whose mouth was covered by Toyotomi, struggled violently, trying to break free from Toyotomi's grasp.
But in his current state with only half a life left...his struggle is so feeble.
With his mouth tightly covered and unable to break free, Yuan Yi could only utter meaningless words such as "Uh-huh".
The reason why Toyotomi covered Genichi's mouth was mainly due to two considerations.
1: I am worried that Genichi will say something unnecessary to Ogata.
Two: I am worried that Genichi will take the initiative to bump his neck against his knife because he does not want to burden Ogata...
Although it was not until just now that Toyotomi met his great uncle for the first time.
But through the deadly fight with his uncle just now, Toyotomi had a rough understanding of his uncle's character.
He felt that it was really possible for this old man to do something like "voluntarily bumping his neck against the blade"...
Therefore, in order to prevent these things from happening, Toyotomi covered Genichi's mouth and controlled Genichi's head, preventing him from speaking and moving at the same time.
"When I first started fighting with you, I discovered that your two-sword style swordsmanship is almost exactly the same as the two-sword style swordsmanship used by my great uncle."
"You and my uncle...even if you are not master and apprentice, your relationship must be extraordinary, right?"
Toyotomi showed Ogata a somewhat ferocious smile and shouted:
"If you don't want Kinoshita Genichi to die like this, then retreat! Throw the knife in your hand into the sea!"
If he dragged Minamoto back in order to increase the distance between him and Ogata, there might be some flaw that Ogata could exploit, so to be on the safe side, Toyotomi asked Ogata to take the initiative to retreat.
"...Back off and throw away the knife? If I really obeyed, you would probably kill Gendai immediately, right?" Ogata, who had been frowning since just now,
He said this to Toyotomi in a tone without sadness or joy.
"Heh." Toyotomi sneered with a hint of sarcasm, "Then you don't have to obey me."
After saying that, Toyotomi brought the blade of Yoshimitsu Koshoku closer to Genichi's neck.
"Anyway, Kinoshita Genichi is no longer a threat to me in his current state." Toyotomi continued, "If you are willing to retreat and throw away the knife as I just asked, I can remove the knife from Kinoshita Genichi."
Move your neck away."
"How do I know whether you will keep your promise?" Ogata asked.
"Oh, believe it or not." Toyotomi sneered again, "Okay! Stop talking nonsense! Back away and throw away the knife!"
Gu He
"I advise you not to make any strange plans."
"At this distance, even if you rush to save someone, I can slit Kinoshita Genichi's throat before your knife hits me, and then step aside to avoid your attack!"
"..." Ogata stood still.
He neither spoke anymore, nor did he retreat and throw away the sword in his hand as Toyotomi had just ordered.
He just silently checked the distance between him and Toyotomi again.
The distance...is about 2 and a half steps...
Ogata just chatted with Toyotomi about so many things that are and are not, just to delay time.
Calculate the distance between him and Toyotomi, and formulate countermeasures to delay time.
Ogata didn't believe a word of what Toyotomi said.
This kind of blind faith in the enemy's words, taking the initiative to throw away the weapon, and surrendering was never an option for Ogata.
From the beginning, he had no intention of paying attention to Toyotomi's requirements for him.
It is not difficult to sneak up to Toyotomi and attack Toyotomi who is hiding behind Genichi. Ogata can easily cross the two and a half steps distance.
The difficult thing is how to ensure Genichi's safety while forcing him to retreat or kill Toyotomi...
2 and a half steps...that's a pretty awkward distance.
At this distance, even if he now has the "Selfless Realm", Ogata cannot guarantee that he will be able to kill Toyotomi before Genichi is hurt.
Genichi, who has given Ogata a lot of care, can be regarded as half of Ogata's master.
Ogata could not do anything like turning a blind eye to Genichi's life and death.
Two and a half steps... Is there a way to kill this bastard before Toyotomi kills Genichi...?
Ogata asked himself this in his mind.
The expression on his face became more solemn as he asked this question to himself.
As a result, Ogata suddenly noticed... Genichi's gaze towards him.
Genichi also realized that he was in an extremely weak state and was unable to break free from Toyotomi's control.
Therefore, at this time, he had stopped struggling.
At this moment, he raised his eyes and cast a calm gaze towards Ogata.
Genichi's eyes were looking directly at Ogata...as if they could talk.
Take action. This is what Genichi's eyes "said" to Ogata.
Looking at Genichi's pair of eyes that were "talking" to him... Ogata was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a smile slowly appear on his cheeks.
I knew you would say that. Ogata said this to Genichi with his expression.
No need to say more
Canglanglanglang...
Ogata took a deep breath, put the Daizhi in his left hand back into the scabbard, then held the Daishakuten tightly with both hands, and assumed the "Daxia" posture, with the tip of the knife pointed directly at Toyotomi behind Genichi.
[Note·Daxia: One of the swordsmanship stances. Hold the sword with both hands, rest it on the upper right part of the body, the blade points to the sky, and the tip points to the enemy. For detailed appearance, you can see the comment on the far right (the picture can only be seen at
)→→→】
"...It seems like you don't want to do as I say." Seeing Ogata assuming this posture that was conducive to an attack, Toyotomi's expression darkened slightly.
"Only people whose brains are not fully developed will believe what you say."
Ogata let out a low sneer, then with a straight face, he said seriously, word by word,
"Take it easy, Toyotomi Nobuhide."
"Look between you and me, who's sword is faster?"
"...Ha, if you want to compete, then go ahead and compete." Toyotomi returned to his usual expression and sneered, "Anyway, for me, even if I can't force you to throw away the knife, you can give me this
If you kill the troublesome old guy, you can still make a profit."
After sneering, he put the blade of the knife in his palm close to Yuan Yi's neck.
Yoshimitsu Koshin's sharp blade had slightly scratched the flesh on Yuan Yi's neck, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped down the blade.
The nerves on both sides... were tense at this time.
They both held the knife tightly and stared at each other.
Always be prepared to be one step ahead of the enemy and swing out the knife in your palm.
The atmosphere around them became heavy and depressing due to the confrontation between the two.
Ogata methodically breathed out the air around him that was extremely cold due to the heavy rain, in the rhythm of "The Breath of the Source".
After breathing out several times at a very rhythmic frequency, Ogata's breathing suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, he was seen breathing in slowly with an extremely slow rhythm.
Ogata's chest gradually swelled as he gradually inhaled the cold air.
Focus slowly with your breathing.
Suddenly, Ogata's mind was concentrated to the extreme, but he still did not launch an attack immediately.
He is waiting.
He is waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
He was waiting for the moment when Toyotomi relaxed or... something unexpected happened.
Toyotomi was not impatient, he just silently watched the movements in Ogata's hand, always ready to push the knife to cut Genichi's throat as soon as Ogata's knife moved, and then jump to the side to avoid Ogata's attack.
This is a duel where anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the advantage... One is two and a half steps away, and the other is with the knife directly in front of the target's neck... It's clear at a glance whose knife has the upper hand.
Because of this, Toyotomi's face always had a trace of calmness, while Ogata's cheeks were filled with seriousness.
Calm down...calm down...just wait...
Ogata said "calm down" to himself over and over again in his heart.
He forced himself to remain calm and continued to wait...for the moment that was most suitable to launch an attack.
The situation on the battlefield...is often so ever-changing.
While Toyotomi looked calm and Ogata looked solemn, the atmosphere between the two became so solemn that it could no longer be extended.
Whoosh!
A thick and long crossbow arrow suddenly flew out from Toyotomi's right side and engulfed Toyotomi's right shoulder deeply.
Ogata and Toyotomi both focused their attention on each other, so neither of them noticed the sudden appearance of the crossbow bolt.
The sudden flying crossbow bolt and the severe pain from his right shoulder caused Toyotomi's face to instantly show a look of shock.
The movement of his hand... was paused for a moment due to this sudden change.
not good!
Although Toyotomi reacted instantly, the moment when his movements stopped, the winner was already decided.
After the crossbow bolt suddenly appeared and pierced into Toyotomi's neck, Ogata's eyes immediately burst with light.
It's now!
Bang!
The sound of slamming on the deck exploded.
Ogata, who sank slightly, rushed towards Toyotomi like an arrow from a string!
The tip of Da Shitian's sword, with its indomitable momentum, parted the rain curtain and this solemn atmosphere!
The tip of Daishuken's sword quickly enlarged within Toyotomi's field of vision!
Oh shit!
Toyotomi cursed loudly in his heart.
The rapidly enlarging blade tip in his eyes told him a cruel reality: it was too late to kill Yuanyi first and then jump away.
If he continues to choose to cut Genichi's neck now, his head will be pierced by Ogata in the next moment.
Toyotomi is not interested in exchanging one life with this old guy!
Therefore, he quickly made up his mind and gritted his teeth angrily. He pushed Genichi in his arms towards Ogata, and then rolled to the side to avoid Ogata's stabbing knife.
Ogata did not pursue Toyotomi who stepped aside. Confirming Genichi's safety was the most important thing now.
He used his free left hand to scoop Yuan Yi into his arms.
At the same time, he looked sideways in the direction where the crossbow arrow had just flown.
More than ten meters away from the side of the battlefield between him and Toyotomi, a pair of glasses stood on the deck.
He was holding in both hands a crossbow that, according to Makimura, seemed to be used for hunting whales.
Behind the glasses is Huluwan... To be more precise, it is Huluwan whose bow is about to hit Hikimaru.
Although the distance was slightly far away, Ogata could barely hear the low sigh coming from his glasses as he slowly put down the crossbow in his hand:
"Didn't you hit the head... The crossbow used for hunting whales is indeed much more difficult to use than an ordinary crossbow. I will have to find more opportunities to learn accurate shooting in the future."
Bang!!!
As his glasses dropped with this sigh, the Gourd Pill behind him slammed into Riki Maru!
The impact of the ship collision caused the Nikki Maru's hull to shake violently, and a strong wind pressure erupted.
The huge wind pressure blew against the glasses that were facing away from Gourdmaru, making the feathers on his body rustle.
