I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After secretly yelling "Oops", Ogata hurriedly chased after Toyotomi who was keeping a distance from him.

Although the distance between him and Toyotomi is only about 5 steps.

But for these two very human guys, this distance is enough to make a huge difference in the situation of the battle.

Recklessly, Toyotomi pounced on Genichi who was not far away like a hungry tiger that had been hungry for a long time!

Seeing Toyotomi rushing towards him, Genichi wanted to fight with his sword, but for Genichi who couldn't even stand up now, it was too extravagant to continue to fight with his sword

"Stop! Ogata Yidaosai!"

Ogata has tried his best to pursue Toyotomi, but there is too little time left for Ogata to pursue Toyotomi

The distance from Toyotomi to Yuanyi is less than 10 steps.

Such a small distance, whether it is for Ogata or Toyotomi, is a distance that can be leaped in a blink of an eye.

Even though Ogata had pursued him at the fastest speed, Toyotomi's treacherous plan, who had taken the lead, succeeded.

Toyotomi threw himself behind Genichi who was exhausted, covered Genichi's mouth with his left hand, and put the knife on Genichi's neck with his right hand.

Seeing this, Ogata's expression changed slightly uncontrollably, and then stopped his pursuit.

"Miss Lin was used as a hostage before, and Gen-sama was seriously injured." Ogata said in a deep voice, "Now you are using Gen-sama to threaten me?"

Looking at Genichi who is now being held hostage by Toyotomi, Ogata couldn't help cursing secretly, and then said in his heart:

So this guy's goal since just now is to kidnap Mr. Yuan!

At this moment, after seeing Yuan Yi being held hostage, Ogata realized belatedly: since about just now, when Toyotomi dodged his attack, he had been dodging in the direction of Yuan Yi.

"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 control.

But in his current state with only half his life left, his struggle is so weak.

Genichi, whose mouth was tightly covered and unable to break free, could only utter meaningless words such as "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

The reason why Toyotomi covered Genichi's mouth was mainly due to two considerations.

One: Worried that Genichi would say something unnecessary to Ogata.

Two: Worried that Genichi will hit his neck with a knife because he doesn't want to burden Ogata

Although it was not until just now that Toyotomi met his uncle for the first time.

But through the fight to the death with his uncle just now, Toyotomi has roughly understood the character of his uncle.

He felt that the old man could really do something like "knocking his neck on the blade actively"

Therefore, in order to avoid these things from happening, Toyotomi covered Genichi's mouth, controlled Genichi's head, and prevented him from speaking while also preventing him from moving.

"When I first fought with you, I discovered that your two-knife swordsmanship is almost exactly the same as that used by my uncle."

"Even if you and my uncle are not masters and apprentices, the relationship must be unusual, right?"

Toyotomi showed a somewhat sinister smile to Ogata, and roared:

"If you don't want Genichi Kinoshita to die like this, back off! Throw the knife in your hand into the sea!"

If he dragged Genichi back to increase the distance between him and Ogata, it might reveal some flaws that Ogata could take advantage of. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Toyotomi asked Ogata to take the initiative to retreat.

"Back up and throw away the knife? If I really do obediently, you will kill Gen-sama right away, right?" Said this to Toyotomi in a sad but not happy tone.

"Heh." Toyotomi sneered with a bit of sarcasm, "Then you don't have to obey obediently."

After all, Toyotomi pressed Yoshimitsu's blade closer to Genichi's neck.

"Anyway, Kinoshita Genichi is not threatening me now." Toyotomi continued, "If you are willing to back off and throw the knife as I just asked, I can take the knife from Kinoshita Genichi move away from One's neck."

"How do I know if you will keep your promise?" Ogata asked.

"Oh, believe it or not." Toyotomi sneered again, "Okay! Stop talking nonsense! Back off quickly, and throw the knife away!"

Gu He

"I advise you not to make any strange plans."

"At this distance, even if you rush to save someone, I can cut Kinoshita Genichi's throat before your knife hits me, and then move aside to avoid your attack!"

"" Ogata stood there.

He didn't speak any more, nor did he retreat and throw away the knife in his hand as Toyotomi ordered just now.

I just silently checked the distance between him and Toyotomi again.

The distance is about 2 and a half steps

Just now, Ogata chatted with Toyotomi about so many things that are and are not, purely to delay time.

Calculating the distance between him and Toyotomi, and procrastinating for time by formulating a coping strategy.

Ogata didn't believe a word of what Toyotomi said.

This kind of thing that blindly believes in the enemy's words, throws away weapons and catches them without a fight has never been an option for Ogata.

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to pay attention to Toyotomi's demands on him.

It is not difficult to dodge to Toyotomi and attack Toyotomi who is hiding behind Genichi. Ogata can easily cross the distance of 2 and a half steps.

The difficulty is how to ensure the safety of Genichi while forcing back or killing Toyotomi

2 and a half steps which is a rather awkward distance.

At this distance, even with the addition of the "Selfless Realm", Ogata can't guarantee that he can definitely get rid of Toyotomi before Genichi is hurt.

Genichi, who has given Ogata a lot of care, can be regarded as half of Ogata's master.

No matter what, Ogata couldn't do such a thing as ignoring Genichi's life and death.

2 and a half steps Is there a way to kill this bastard before Toyotomi lays his hands on Mr. Yuan?

Ogata asked himself in his heart.

The expression on his face became more and more serious as the question he asked himself fell.

As a result, at this moment Ogata suddenly noticed Yuan Yi's gaze cast on him.

Genichi also realized that he was extremely weak in his current state, and he was powerless to break free from Toyotomi's control over him.

Therefore, at this time, he has stopped struggling.

At this moment, he raised his gaze and cast a calm gaze at Ogata.

Genichi's pair of eyes looking straight at Ogata seem to be able to talk.

This is what Genichi's pupils "said" to Ogata.

Seeing Yuan Yi's pair of pupils who were "talking" to him, Oogata was taken aback for a moment, and then saw a smile slowly appearing on his cheeks.

I knew you would say that. Ogata said that to Genichi with his face.

needless to say

cang lang lang lang lang

Ogata breathed a sigh of relief, retracted Da Zizai in his left hand into the scabbard, and then held Da Shiten tightly with both hands, posing in a "Daxia" posture, pointing the tip of the knife at Toyotomi behind Genichi.

Note Daxia: One of the fencing stances.Holding the knife in both hands, the knife rests on the upper right part of the body, the blade points to the sky, and the tip of the knife points to the enemy.For the detailed appearance, it can be seen that the paragraph comment on the far right can only see the picture

"It seems that you don't want to do what I say." Seeing Ogata's posture that is conducive to the assault, Toyotomi's expression sank slightly.

"People whose brains are not fully developed will believe your words."

Ogata let out a low sneer, then put on a straight face, and said seriously, word by word,

"Tighten your nerves, Toyotomi Nobuhide."

"Look at you or me, whose knife is faster."

"Oh, if you want to compare, then just do it." Toyotomi resumed his usual expression and sneered, "Anyway, for me, even if I can't force you to throw away the knife, it will cause me a lot of trouble If the old guy is killed, it can be regarded as a profit."

After sneering, he pressed the blade of the knife in his palm against Yuan Yi's neck.

Ji Guanggushi's sharp blade had slightly scratched the flesh of Yuan Yi's neck, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped down the blade.

The nerves of both parties were tense at this time.

They both clutched their knives and stared at each other.

Always be ready to take a step ahead of the enemy and swing out the knife in your palm.

The surrounding atmosphere became heavy and oppressive because of the confrontation between the two.

Ogata methodically exhaled the cold air around him due to the heavy rain in the rhythm of "the breath of the source".

After exhaling several times at a very rhythmic frequency, Ogata's breath suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, he was seen slowly inhaling in a very soothing rhythm.

Ogata's chest gradually bulged as the cold air was gradually sucked in.

Focus slowly with breathing.

Suddenly, Ogata's mind was concentrated to the extreme, but he did not launch an attack immediately.

He is waiting.

He is waiting for the best time to attack.

He was waiting for the moment when Toyotomi's mind would relax, or something unexpected happened.

Toyotomi was not impatient, he just watched the movement of Ogata's hand silently, always ready to push the knife to cut Kaiichi's throat immediately after Ogata's knife moved, and then jumped aside to avoid Ogata's attack.

This is a duel in which anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the upper hand. One is two and a half steps away, and the other is when the knife is placed directly in front of the target's neck. It is clear at a glance who has the upper hand.

It is precisely because of this that Toyotomi's face has always been calm, while Ogata's cheeks are full of seriousness.

calm down 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 most suitable moment to attack.

The situation on the battlefield is often so ever-changing.

Toyotomi's face was calm and calm, while Ogata's expression was solemn, the atmosphere between the two was already too solemn

Whoosh!

A thick and long crossbow suddenly flew out from Toyotomi's right side, and sank deeply into Toyotomi's right shoulder.

Both Ogata and Toyotomi put all their hearts and minds on each other, so neither of them noticed the sudden appearance of the crossbow.

The sudden flying crossbow bolts and the sharp pain from his right shoulder made Toyotomi's face instantly full of consternation.

The movements of his hands stopped for a moment because of this sudden change.

not good!

Although Toyotomi reacted in an instant, the moment when the movement of his hands stopped, the outcome had already been decided.

After the crossbow bolt suddenly appeared and pierced Toyotomi's neck, Ogata's eyes immediately burst out with brilliance.

It's now!

Bang!

The sound of slamming on the deck exploded.

Ogata, who lowered his waist slightly, rushed towards Toyotomi like an arrow off the string!

The tip of Da Shitian's knife, with an indomitable momentum, pushed aside the rain and the solemn atmosphere!

Da Shitian's knife tip zoomed in rapidly within Toyotomi's field of vision!

Oh shit!

Toyotomi cursed in his heart.

The sharply enlarged knife point in his eyes told him a cruel reality: now it is too late to kill Yuanyi first, and then jump to the side.

If he continues to choose to cut Yuanyi's neck now, then his head will be pierced by Ogata in the next moment.

To die with Yuan, Feng Chen has no interest in exchanging his life with this old guy!

So, 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, dodging the knife that Ogata stabbed.
