I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

His eyes fixed on Lin's arms holding the knife, and he used the blade counter to block each of Lin's knives one by one.

After blocking Lin's seventh knife, a look of astonishment and shock appeared on Lin's face uncontrollably.

After the seventh knife was blocked by Ogata, Lin stepped back a few steps and retreated to a safe distance.

Looking at Lin who was retreating, Ogata thought to himself:

——7 consecutive cuts... It seems that Kinoshita Lin used "Cicada Rain" just now.

The cicada rain just now seemed to consume a lot of Lin, and Lin's breathing has become very rapid at this time - but it is normal to consume a lot, this kind of rhythm is the effect of the chaotic combo technique on the user The requirements are naturally quite high.

After shaking his sore arms, Ogata casually said softly to Lin:

"You are so strong... The person who can make Jiangong and the others follow him is really not a small character."

"Thanks for the compliment, but I don't like flattery."

"I'm not flattering you, I really think you're strong."

Just like what Ogata said just now - he wasn't flattering Lin.

Just now, when I forcibly received Lin's Cicada Rain, it was actually dangerous.

Ogata was almost cut by Lin several times.

"If it wasn't because I'm a man, I might have lost to you."

Ogata's words are also true.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical fitness was superior to Lin's daughter, Ogata might have been defeated by Lin's cicada rain just now.

After casually complimenting Lin, Ogata sighed softly in his heart.

——The world...it is really big...it is true that there are people beyond people, and heaven beyond the sky...capable people appear one after another...

——Sure enough... I still have a long way to go...

Just when Ogata was lamenting his lack of practice——the mutation happened at this moment.

After Ogata's words just fell, Lin standing in front of Ogata's face suddenly changed.

The same person whose face changed suddenly, and the 4 other members of the palace who were watching the battle from the sidelines.

Noticing the huge changes in the faces of these people, the emotional side showed confusion.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether he said something wrong just now, Lin, whose face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, loosened her hands and fingers.

Under the influence of gravity, the two wooden knives fell from Lin's loosened palms and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Huh? Stop fighting?" Ogata couldn't help asking as he watched Lin let go of the wooden knife in his hand.

Lin ignored Ogata's question.

Instead, he walked slowly back to the thousands of gourd and horse seals.

Then... picked up the black-handled black-sheathed knife placed under the seal of Qiancheng's gourd and horse.

Looking at Lin who picked up the black knife, Ogata's face changed instantly, and he vaguely realized what Lin seemed to be planning to do.

And Lin's next actions perfectly fit Ogata's conjecture.

bass!

Lin pulled out the knife with a black handle and black sheath abruptly, revealing a blade as black as ink.

Rin raised the black knife and pointed the tip at Ogata's nose.

"Draw out the knife!" Then he said in a deep voice.

"Mucun." Jian Gong, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, also darkened at this time, and after calling the name of Mucun beside him, he winked at Mucun.

After understanding the meaning of Mucun's eyes, Mucun nodded solemnly, and rushed out of the Buddhist hall quickly.

After Mucun left the Buddhist hall, Jiangong immediately rushed forward a few steps and stopped between Ogata and Lin.

"My lord! Please calm down!"

"Kuro! Get out of the way!"

"My lord!" Jiangong also changed into a much more serious tone at this time, "Once the real sword is drawn, it will be out of the scope of learning! Please take Yan Mo back!"

"Get out of the way!" However, Lin ignored Jian Gong's persuasion.

Shimada, who was the youngest and had the shortest time in the Gourd House, looked at Ogata and then at Rin with an anxious face, but he didn't know what to do.

In desperation, he could only turn to Qian Jing who was standing beside him with his arms crossed, silently looking at Kamiya persuading Lin.

"Senior Asai! Aren't you going to go with Senior Mamiya to persuade the lord to put away the sword?"

Regarding Shimada's question, Asai only said lightly:

"If even the palace can't persuade the lord, it's useless for me to go."

While Asai watched from the sidelines and Shimada didn't know what to do, the debate between Mamiya and Rin continued.

"Kuro, I'll say it again—get out of the way!"

"...My lord, are you really determined to do this? If so, then I will get out of the way."

Lin ignored the new problem of Gamiya.

He only cut his sharp eyes to Jiangong.

Feeling Lin's knife-like gaze, Mamiya sighed softly.

Then he stepped back silently and stood back where he had just stood.

When Jiangong persuaded Lin just now, Ogata had already silently brought back the Da Shitian he had put aside just now.

Ogata, holding Dashitian in his left hand, whispered to Lin in front of him:

"Let me make sure - do you really want to use a real knife?"

"Once you use a real sword, it's no longer a sparring match, but a death fight."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Jiao shouted, "Draw your sword quickly!"

"..." Ogata didn't speak any more.

Cang lang lang lang lang...

Silently, he pressed his left hand on Da Shitian's sheath, tapped his thumb, and pulled Da Shitian out of the sheath, and then slowly drew the knife out of the sheath.

Under the reflection of the sunlight coming in through the window, Da Shitian, who was shining white, faced Yan Mo, who was shining black.

A murderous air began to permeate around the Buddhist hall.

The three Jiangongs who were watching the battle all had serious faces at this moment.

Just when Ogata and Lin poured their strength into their hind legs, ready to kill each other...

"Senior Sister and Junior Brother kill each other with real knives—how decent! Take the knives away!"

A shout suddenly sounded from the gate of the Buddhist hall.

Chapter 270 The Unremarkable Sword Master

Ogata and Lin's faces were both shocked by the sound of this violent drink.

However, the shock on Lin's face was also mixed with a bit of annoyance.

Ogata Xunsheng looked towards the gate of the Buddhist hall.

The first thing that appeared in Ogata's field of vision was the panting Makimura.

Mucun now looks like he just ran countless sprints, with thin sweat on his forehead, and his chest heaving violently.

An old man appeared in Ogata's field of vision following Mucun.

The old man was lying on Mucun's back.

An old man with a wrinkled face, who seemed to be quite old.

The old man's skin was like dried orange peel.

The hair is all gray and messy.

He was wearing a thin white kimono, and there was a faint sleepiness in his eyes and cheeks—it seemed that he had just woken up.

And the big yawn that the old man yawned afterwards also confirmed Ogata's conjecture - the old man should have been woken up urgently by Mucun just now, and then he carried it all the way back.

Seeing that Mucun finally brought the old man over, Jian Gong looked relieved and let out a sigh of relief:

"Makimura...you're finally here...the effort I made just now to procrastinate was not in vain..."

"Fortunately." After replying to Gamiya in a half-joking tone, Mucun put down the old man behind him.

Mu Cun seemed to be in a hurry when he brought the old man over. The old man didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so Mu Cun carried him on his back.

But the old man didn't care, he just walked towards Ogata and Lin slowly with his bare feet.

"Little Lin, what are you doing?"

The old man asked Lin in a rather stern tone.

"..." But Lin didn't answer the old man's question.

He just lowered his head with a sullen face - this look is very much like a child who has done something wrong and is in urgent need of punishment from his elders.

"Take back Yan Mo!"

"……Yes."

Lin put the tip of the black knife in her hand back into the sheath, and put the black knife back into the sheath with a "choke".

Just now, the palace spent countless words and failed to persuade Lin to put away the knife, but the old man made Lin put the knife back into the sheath without any complaints.

As Lin withdrew the knife, the tense atmosphere that had been condensed between her and Ogata was immediately released.

Most of the murderous aura that permeated the surroundings also dissipated.

Seeing that Lin put away the knife, Ogata also slowly put away his Da Shitian.

"... Jiulang, did you call my uncle?" Lin turned her head and cut her sharp gaze at Jian Gong.

"That's right." Jiangong said without hesitation, "It's all my Jiangong's attention. If you are dissatisfied with me, my lord, please punish me to your heart's content."

"……Humph!"

After giving Jiangong a heavy "hum", Lin walked away in a huff.

Everyone in the Buddhist hall, including Ogata, watched Lin leave with different expressions.

It wasn't until Lin completely left his field of vision that Ogata secretly said in his heart:

——What a strange person...

Lin's first impression of Ogata was rather bad.

It's nothing more than a serious and cold appearance throughout the whole process, and she also has inexplicable malice towards him, and keeps saying strange things to find fault with him.

Just now, he pulled out the real knife inexplicably, and wanted to fight him to the death.

Ogata silently labeled Lin: a weirdo who seems to have a problem with his mind.

"Oh... Xiaolin's character... is really tricky..."

At this moment, the old man just now suddenly let out a sigh of self-talk.

After such a sigh of relief, the old man turned his attention to Ogata.

"You should be Ogata Itsuki. I wanted to see you after sleeping until the afternoon, but I didn't expect to see you so soon."

The old man looked Ogata up and down several times.

"Hmm... he has a good physique, and he is a good seed for sword practice..."

When the old man was looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at the old man.

"That...excuse me—are you Kinoshita Genichi?"

Although the identity of this person was already confirmed in his heart, Ogata couldn't help but asked the old man in a tentative tone.

"That's right." The old man didn't put on airs, and said openly, "I am Genichi Kinoshita."

Now that he was closer to this old man—that is, Kinoshita Genichi, Ogata was able to see Genichi's face more clearly.

Yuan Yi's appearance can be described in one word, that is - ordinary.
