I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 303 Ogata VS Kondo Uchisuke

Just when Ogata was seriously looking at the red crescent moon engraved on the gun stock, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind Ogata:

"Hey! When you apologize, you can't be sincere...Hey! What are you two guys doing?!"

The loud shout made Ogata and Atachi raise their eyebrows.

Follow the prestige - I saw a young man standing at the entrance of the alley panting.

"Isn't this the Kondo Uchisuke I met today..." A-Machi muttered in a low voice that only he and Ogata could hear clearly.

Atachi immediately recognized this person as the Kondo Uchisuke they met by chance after they left Sengakukan today.

Just when Ogata was about to ask Kondo why he came here——

"I just wanted to chase after you so that you could apologize more sincerely..."

Kondo said solemnly.

"I didn't expect to see such an amazing scene... Did you two kill that person?"

A person with blood dripping out of his mouth fell at the feet of Ogata and A-Machi—this kind of picture is indeed easy for people to misunderstand that this is what Ogata and A-Machi did.

"We didn't kill this person." A-Ming said urgently.

"It's hard for me to believe your one-sided words." Kondo said with a serious face, "I'm sorry, you two, please follow me to the execution office."

"Someone is suspected of being killed by others—I can't pretend that I didn't see this kind of thing."

"I'm sorry." Ogata said without thinking, "I'm very busy now, so I won't accompany you to any execution institution."

"...Is that so." Kondo seemed to have expected Ogata to say this a long time ago, and put his face on the handle of the knife on his left waist expressionlessly, and slowly pulled out his knife.

While posing in the standard mid-section posture, Kondo turned the blade of the sword and pointed the back of the sword at Ogata.

"...A-Machi, step back a little."

While talking, Ogata used his left hand to lift Da Shitian up on his left waist, and then pulled Da Shitian out of the sheath inch by inch.

While pulling Da Shitian out of the sheath, Ogata also turned the blade of the sword, pointed the back of the sword at Kondo, and slowly adjusted his breathing to "breath of the source".

【Ding! Using "Breath of Source", the reflex nerves temporarily increase by 5 points, and the concentration improves]

[Current reflex nerve value: 14 points]

【Increase concentration】

As the system sound fell, Ogata instantly felt that the distracting thoughts in his heart became much less.

This is the new ability of "Breath of Source" after being upgraded to an advanced level: increase concentration.

"...Thinking about it carefully, this is the first time I have drawn a real sword since I went to Luo."

Kondo said suddenly at this moment.

"I went to Luo this time to test the power of my self-created swordsmanship and to practice self-cultivation along the way."

"Your Majesty, I—I'm very strong."

Speaking of this, Kondo's face showed a bit of complacency.

"You still have a chance to turn around now and choose to obediently follow me to the execution office."

Regarding Kondo's suggestion, Ogata turned a deaf ear to it, and only silently set up a middle stance.

"...It seems that the negotiation failed, so——I'm going!"

After shouting loudly, Kondo hurried towards Ogata.

After dodging Kondo's two sword skills in succession with stepping steps, Ogata raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Katori Shinto style is one of the schools that Ogata is more familiar with. After all, when he was in the Hirose domain, he often had conflicts with the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan who practiced the Katori Shinto style.

So Ogata saw at a glance that the swordsmanship used by Kondo had a bit of the shadow of Katori Shinto style.

But it is somewhat different from Katori Shinto style.

Ogata remembered what Kondo had told him during the day—he had developed a brand new sword technique based on the Katori Shinto style, but he hadn't yet given his own new sword technique a good name. He left his hometown this time in order to test the practicality of his new sword technique.

——Is this the new sword technique that Kondo created himself...

After thinking secretly in his heart, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at the knife that Kondo was swinging towards him.

When Kondo's sword was about an adult's arm away from Ogata's chest, Ogata's eyes suddenly widened, and he swung his sword towards Kondo's sword.

clang!

With the sound of a deafening clash of gold and iron, Ogata's Da Shitian and Kondo's sword hit each other hard.

The sword technique used by Ogata is exactly the "Blade Blade" of Wugo Two Swords Style.

The collision of the two knives——this contest was decided in just a moment.

"Hmm..." Kondo let out a low cry of pain, and then took a few steps back holding the knife that was stalled back.

Ogata had already noticed when he used steps to dodge Kondo's first moves just now: Although Kondo's body was rather strong, he was unexpectedly a skilled swordsman rather than a powerful swordsman.

In terms of strength, Kondo is slightly inferior to Kinoshita Rin.

The "Blade Counter" move just now, Ogata didn't hold back anything, and went out with all his strength.

In terms of pure strength, Kinoshita Lin is not Ogata's opponent, let alone Kondo?

Kondo, who hadn't had time to stabilize his figure, was full of flaws, and Ogata would naturally not let go of this great opportunity to decide the outcome.

Seeing the flaws in Kondo's body now, Ogai quickly approached Kondo like a shark smelling blood.

Ogata pressed Kondo's shoulder with his left hand, and with a wrong foot, he used the enemy control technique in Shiranui-ryu Jujitsu, and Kondo fell heavily to the ground.

When Kondo was thrown with staring eyes and the strength of his sword was unconsciously relaxed, Ogata grabbed the sword in Kondo's right hand, and then threw Kondo's sword far away.

【Ding! Use Shiranui Ninjutsu Shiranui Jutsu to defeat the enemy]

[Obtain 95 points of personal experience, 90 points of ninjutsu "Shiranui Ninjutsu" experience]

[Current personal level: lv25 (205/3400)]

[Shiranui Ninjutsu Level: 2nd Stage (155/500)]

"hateful……"

Kondo struggled to get up, and touched Wakizashi on his left waist.

However—before he could get up, and before his hand touched the handle of the Wakizashi knife on his left waist, the sharp blade was attached to his neck.

Ogata pressed Da Shitian's blade against Kondo's neck, and said softly to Kondo:

"you lose."

"How could it be..." Kondo didn't seem to have expected that he would lose so quickly, his face became pale and full of shock, "I...would lose so quickly..."

"Look carefully."

While talking, Ogata put Da Shitian back into the scabbard.

"This man killed himself by biting his tongue. Not by me and my companions."

After saying that, Ogata dragged the dead body of the murderer who was just lying at his feet to Kondo's side.

"It's really... biting his tongue and killing himself... This guy is really brave..."

While Kondo muttered like this, Ogata waved at Machi.

Atachi, who understood what Ogata meant, hurriedly threw the rifle in his hand towards Ogata.

"This guy used this iron cannon to sneak attack the owner of the Metaphysics Hall, Inaba, so my companion and I started chasing him. After being chased by my companion and me, he had nowhere to go. He just bit his tongue and killed himself, and then you chased him. Here it comes—that's the truth of the matter."

"What's the matter with this iron cannon...?" Kondo looked at the rifled gun Ogata handed over with a puzzled expression, "Why is there no matchlock?"

"This is the new iron cannon of the southern barbarians." A Ding said, "the new iron cannon of the southern barbarians can shoot without a match."

"Huh?" Kondo raised his head suddenly, and turned his astonished eyes to A-Machi, "Look carefully... Isn't this the woman who accompanied Lord Tengu today?"

Hearing Kondo's words, Ogata and A-Machi both pursed their lips tightly, showing a look of "speechless".

The two looked at Kondo, as if they were saying to Kondo, "Did you just find out?"

——What a simple and honest person...

Ogata thought secretly in his heart.

Although he and Kondo only met today and have not had much friendship until now, after this brief contact, Ogata has a rough understanding of Kondo: he is a simple and honest person.

Because he felt that his apology was not sincere enough, he took the trouble to follow him all the way.

Obviously A-cho has been talking to Kondo just now, and the surrounding light is not so dim that he can't see the face at all, but he didn't recognize A-cho until now...

After recognizing A-Machi, Kondo's eyes gradually became excited.

"Since she is the woman I met today..." Kondo moved his excited eyes to Ogata, "Then, are you Master Tengu..."

Before Kondo could finish his sentence, another series of gasps sounded from the entrance of the alley.

"Huh... huh... huh... huh... finally... caught up with you..."

"Master Feng Mo?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "You can still keep up..."

The master of this series of panting breaths was precisely Fuma who had fallen behind because he couldn't keep up with the speed of Ogata and Atachi.

"Don't underestimate me." Fuma walked slowly towards Ogata and the others while adjusting his breathing, "Although I am old, the abilities I had before have not completely degenerated... eh? Isn't this Kondo?" ?”

Fuma looked at Kondo with a look of seeing an old friend.

"Huh? Master Kotaro?"

And Kondo also looked at Fuma with the same gaze of seeing an old friend.

...

...

In order to make it easier for Mucun to communicate with him, Shenshan has been staying in the tea house he often goes to.

Because this tea house is reserved by Shenshan, there are only two customers in the store - Shenshan and Hasegawa.

Hasegawa, who was sitting opposite the sacred mountain, looked thoughtfully at the tea on the table in front of him.

"Hasegawa, what's wrong?" Shenshan suddenly said, "You look restless."

"...Shenshan, is that old subordinate of yours reliable?"

"It's reliable." As soon as Hasegawa's voice fell, Shenshan replied without thinking, "Although... I had some unpleasant things with him."

"I don't know what he thinks of me."

"But I have always regarded him as the best fighter I have ever seen in my life, who has worked under me for 5 years."

"While you and I are chatting here, he may have found some clues."

When Shenshan said this, he paused.

He raised his eyes, looked at Hasegawa with a meaningful look, and said softly:

"Hasegawa, I know what you're thinking."

"You really want to assist Mucun in investigating this case—am I right?"

"I advise you not to do that."

"For those of us who are officials, the most taboo thing is 'meddling your own business'."

"You are the chief of Huo Fu Thief Gai, and you are in charge of arson and theft cases."

"When chasing arsonists and thieves, you catch a few murderers you encounter occasionally. And actively intervene in cases that are not under your control like murder cases-the nature of these two things is completely different."

"If you take the initiative to intervene in this murder case, you will easily fall into the shoes of others."

"Stay here with me obediently."

"...I understand." After finishing speaking, Hasegawa sighed.

While letting out this long sigh, the hands on the legs slowly tightened...

...

...

Kyoto, in a certain alley.

"...I said, Senior Mucun, you have been squatting there for a long time... What are you doing?"

Shimada was bored and squatted under the wall of the alley.

"As you can see - squatting to look at something."

Mucun, who was squatting not far away, buried his head and stared at the soil in front of him.

From last night to now, 45 people in Kyoto have been killed by the person who looks like Ogata, or disguised as Ogata.

At this very moment, Makimura and Shimada were at the scene of the 43rd victim.

From the time he left Ubihara to the present, Mucun led Shimada to run past the crime scene of the latest victim, the 44th victim, at a very fast speed.

The victim's body had long since been hauled away.

Due to the deaths of people at these three crime scenes, no one dared to approach them except for the officials who came to check the situation and the people who came to collect the corpses.

After arriving at the scene of the crime, Mucun only did one thing - squatting on the ground and looking at the ground.

Although he didn't understand what Mucun was doing, Shimada still held his temper and kept the belief that "Senior Mucun must not be disturbed. Senior Mucun must have his reasons for doing this", obediently stayed aside and did not disturb Mucun in any way. .

But after visiting 3 crime scenes in a row and Mucun doing the same weird thing at 3 crime scenes in a row, Shimada finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Mucun what he was doing.

After being answered by Mucun, "I'm squatting and looking at something", Shimada, who was even more puzzled in his heart, asked:

"See something? See what?"

"See if you can find anything valuable. Shimada, don't underestimate the crime scene. As long as you observe the crime scene patiently and carefully, you can always find some new clues. For example—this."

Mucun raised his finger, wiped the soil at his feet, and then stretched his muddy finger towards Shimada, motioning for Shimada to come and take a look.

"What is this...?" Shimada leaned over and found that Mucun's fingers were not only covered with mud, but also with some strange powder.

"Fragrant powder." Mucun replied, "It's a kind of thing that women use to rub on themselves to make their bodies fragrant."
