I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata didn't attack either.

Just stood there quietly, looking at Itagaki in front of him expressionlessly.

Itagaki's heart was beating at an unprecedented high speed, and he felt that the air around his body became thick and heavy.

Because the air became thick, Itagaki felt that even breathing became difficult.

Itagaki, who was tortured by the sticky air around his body, yelled loudly, then swung his sword and looked at Ogata.

Ogata, who easily dodged Itagaki's sword, aimed at Itagaki's left abdomen, and used Sakakibara's Issou-style horizontal slashing technique - Dragon Tail.

Ogata's wooden knife accurately hit Itagaki's left abdomen.

Itagaki, who had been hit by Ogata, felt his stomach was turning upside down.

Itagaki held back so tightly that he didn't spit out the contents of his stomach.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Itagaki, who had endured the nausea, had completely lost his composure, shouting at the top of his voice, while frantically waving the wooden knife in his hand.

Looking at Itagaki who had lost his composure, Ishikawa Bingma, who was kneeling on the edge of the dojo, sighed heavily.

Because the soldiers and horses know-there is no need to watch the next battle.

When fighting with people, if you lose your composure, everything will be over.

Sure enough—Itagaki, who had completely lost his composure, and his chaotic swinging of the sword, let alone touch Ogata.

Ogata saw the opportunity, and slashed Itagaki's right wrist again.

The severe pain from his right wrist forced Itagaki to let go of his right hand, causing the knife in his right hand to fall to the ground.

But Itagaki still endured the pain, and quickly bent down to pick up the knife with his left hand.

Then he swept towards Ogata's feet.

But——Ogata had predicted Itagaki's move.

Ogata jumped up into the air nimbly, dodging Itagaki's sweeping attack.

While jumping into the air, he raised the wooden knife in his hand high.

Then he slashed heavily towards Itagaki's right shoulder.

Sakakibara One Sword Style-Waterfall!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Itagaki let out a scream that was enough to make the listeners feel horrified.

Itagaki's right shoulder—is unnaturally swollen and twisted. It looked very scary.

Seeing the terrifying swelling on Itagaki's right shoulder, Ishikawa Bingma and some disciples' expressions darkened.

They, who had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, were keenly aware that itagaki's right shoulder was seriously injured.

It's the kind of serious injury that can easily lead to disability.

The weight of the falling body + his own arm strength = Ogata's most powerful "water fall" so far.

If Ogata had aimed at Itagaki's head instead of Itagaki's right shoulder just now, he would definitely be able to knock out Itagaki's brains.

After the disciples closest to Itagaki lifted Itagaki down with a severely fractured right shoulder, Ogata deliberately said in a volume that everyone at the scene could hear clearly:

"The... 10th!"

Including Itagaki just now, Ogata has already defeated the 10 disciples of their Ishikawa Sword Gym one after another.

Hearing Ogata's words, many people present showed resentment.

But he dared not play for a long time, and became the 11th person to challenge Ogata.

"Is anyone else going to play?"

Ogata looked at the other people kneeling on the edge of the dojo.

Without exception, all of them buried their heads low, not even daring to look at Ogata...

Afraid to meet Ogata's eyes.

"Is there anyone else?!"

Still no response...

In the end, it was Ishikawa Bingma who took the lead in sighing and broke the silence.

"Ogata-kun, let's stop here for today's business."

"My disciples...don't dare to challenge you anymore..."

After the soldiers and horses said these words,

The faces of many people in the hall immediately became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although unwilling, they still dare not compete with Ogata...

Ogata turned his head and looked at Ishikawa soldiers and horses.

After a while—

Snapped.

Ogata released the five fingers of his right hand and let the wooden sword in his hand fall to the ground.

"...I'm bothering everyone today. Thank you for your enlightenment."

After saying the word "enlightenment", Ogata specially emphasized his tone.

After leaving this sentence, Xu turned around and left directly.

Until Ogata had already left the dojo, no one dared to fight...

Just like that, Ogata swaggered down the dojo, took back his saber, put on his straw sandals, and walked towards the gate of the sword hall.

After walking to the gate of the sword hall, Ogata did not forget to do another very important thing.

That is - fulfilling the agreement he made with everyone in the Ishikawa Sword Gym.

If he wins, let him leave a sword mark on the plaque of the Ishikawa Sword Hall.

Ogata pulled out his sword, drew an extremely eye-catching and conspicuous sword mark on the plaque hanging by the gate of the sword hall, then put the sword back into its sheath... and then walked away.

The plaque on the gate of the sword hall was scratched with a sword mark—the shame is no less than the plaque being directly removed...

After Ogata drew a sword mark on the plaque of the sword hall, and then swaggered away, the disciples of the Ishikawa sword hall who could still stand and sit immediately surrounded the Ishikawa soldiers and horses.

"Master! Are we going to let that Ogata go away like this?"

"Master! That Ogata Yishi has given us such a great shame, how can we let him go like this?!"

...

Ishikawa Bingma quietly listened to these questions from his disciples.

"...What else can we do if Ogata Yishi is not allowed to leave?" Ishikawa Bingma asked back, "Ogata Yishi challenged all of you by name, but none of you can deal with Ogata, except for letting him Apart from leaving quickly and ending today's turmoil quickly, what else can we do?"

"Are you going up together to besiege Ogata?"

"If we have to rely on besieging Ogata in the end to try to earn back our face, then not only will it not help us earn back our face, but it will also bring us Ishikawa Sword Gym bigger damage than a plaque with a sword mark on it." shame!"

"I just want today's series of turmoil to end as soon as possible!"

"If today's series of turmoil is further aggravated, the damage to our sword hall will be more than 10 disciples were injured, and the plaque was scratched with sword marks!"

The words of Ishikawa Bingma left all the disciples speechless, and they didn't know what else to say...

...

...

It's a coincidence.

Not long after Ogata left, Toyama who led people to look for Ogata just happened to come back.

Toyama never dreamed that when he was working hard to find Ogata outside, Ogata was making a big fuss in their Ishikawa Sword Gym.

After returning to the Ishikawa Sword Gym, Yuan Shan's face darkened instantly when he saw the gate plaque with a sword mark, the distressed brothers, and what happened.

Yuan Shan, whose face was so dark that it was about to drip ink, raised his saber without saying a word, and strode towards the outside of the dojo.

However, before he had gone a few steps, he was stopped by his master Shi Chuan Bingma.

"Yuanshan! Wait! What are you going to do?!"

"...Master, do you even need to talk about it? Of course I'm going to seek revenge on that Ogata."

"Don't go! Starting today, Toyama, you are not allowed to go near the Sakakibara Sword Gym! You are not even allowed to contact Ogata in private!"

"Master! Why?!"

Yuan Shan turned around abruptly, with a puzzled yet angry expression.

"That Ogata brought such a heavy shame to our Ishikawa Sword Gym today! Why can't I seek revenge from him!"

"Yuanshan! Don't you think the turmoil caused today is not big enough?!"

Ishikawa soldiers and horses let out a roar far above the distant mountains.

"Do you know! Because of your selfishness, all of us are now on the cusp!"

"If you seek revenge from Ogata again, it will only make today's turmoil worse!"

"The series of turmoil caused today is big enough! I don't want to make things worse!"

"I will be responsible for all the events that happened today!"

"Listen to me, all of you! Don't bother with the Sakakibara Sword Gym! Don't bother with Ogata Itsuki!"

"If I find out who dares to disobey the teacher's order, I will kill him!"

Ishikawa Bingma is the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Gym, and he is the master of the Katori Shinto style.

At this moment, Ishikawa's soldiers and horses were full of fierce aura.

The soldiers and horses stared at the distant mountains in front of them.

He looked like he was about to draw his sword to kill Yuan Shan at any moment.

Looking at the soldiers and horses of Ishikawa, Yuan Shan was silent with a look of fear on his face.

After a while, Yuan Shan said in a deep voice:

"...Master, I understand."

"Go down and rest quickly! Remember my words! From now on, don't make trouble at the Sakakibara Sword Gym, let alone that Ogata!"

"Yes……"

After answering "Yes", Yuan Shan turned and left the dojo.

After Yuan Shan left, the rest of the disciples in the dojo immediately followed.

In the empty dojo, only Ishikawa Bingma was left at this time.
