I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The "Bandit 3" lacking in strength couldn't even lift the Odachi quickly and smoothly.

Cold light flashed.

"Bandit 3" hadn't fully raised the daidachi in his hand, the Da Shitian in Ogata's hand turned into a cold light, and cut "Bandit 3"'s throat horizontally.

From the experience value given by the system, it can also be seen that the strength of "Bandit 3" is really good. After killing him, both the personal level and Sakakibara's sword style will only get 60 experience points each.

When you defeat the "Baosheng Ten Swords" in Baosheng Dojo, you can get about 50 experience points.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. After killing "Bandit 3", Ogata's personal level, which had already reached the critical point of upgrading, was finally upgraded to level 35, gaining 1 skill point.

Counting the 1 skill point saved after the battle with Shiranui, and the 2 points gained after the experience gained at the Hosho Sword Gym a few days ago to upgrade the Shiranui Ninjutsu level, Ogata now has a total of 4 skill points.

Should it be said that it is a bandit?

After Ogata knocked down the little boss-like guy with one move, and killed three of their companions, the remaining people lost their fighting spirit instantly.

About 10 seconds ago, when they saw Ogata rushing towards them alone, they were still complacent, thinking that there were 12 people on their side, and they didn't love this samurai who dared to rush over alone.

After only 10 seconds, the expressions of the eight bandits who were still alive changed 8 degrees. They looked at Ogata in horror, and then turned and fled regardless of anything.

Ogata was not surprised by the bandit's sudden escape.

To put it bluntly, bandits are a group of mobs who can only fight with the wind, and they are not elites in all battles.

If these bandits don't retreat, Ogata will feel strange instead.

This gang of vicious bandits must not let them go.

It would be a lot of trouble if they were allowed to go back to their stronghold and tell the rest of their comrades that the villagers of this village had invited samurai to help them.

Seeing the bandits fleeing, Xu Fang immediately chased after them with a knife.

How could these loose-footed bandits escape from Xu Fang, whose agility value was as high as 18 points?

Ogata only took one step and caught up with the nearest bandit.

Sakakibara's one-shot stab!

Da Shitian, who turned into a stream of light, pierced the bandit's heart from his back.

And Huosaka and the others finally caught up at this time.

Ogata's brave performance just now shocked Hosaka and others, but now there are still enemies to deal with, so they can only forcefully suppress the shock in their hearts.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Hosaka and the others don't rush up to help, anyway, with Ogata's current speed, they can easily kill the fleeing bandits one by one.

Ogata is like a beast chasing its prey.

Ogata was running, leaping, and slashing.

The bandit ran, screamed, and died.

There was also a bloody bandit who gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't escape, stopped his steps, clenched the weapon in his hand, turned around, howled angrily, and attacked Ogata .

Although courage is commendable, courage cannot make up for the gap in strength.

Ogata charged straight at the bandit who mustered up his courage and was about to launch a life-threatening blow.

Maybe it was too nervous, or maybe it was simply not strong enough. The bandit made a mistake that many people make in battle: he didn't calculate the distance between the enemy and himself.

Ogata considers himself a man who has experienced many battles. According to Ogata's calculations, the number of people who were defeated or died by his sword due to "not calculating the distance between the enemy and ourselves" is already too many to count.

Either he didn't even know he stepped into the enemy's attack range, or he judged the timing of the enemy's entry into his attack range too early or too late, resulting in the failure of his attack.

This bandit belongs to the latter, and he swung his knife too early.

Before Ogata came into his attack range, he roared in panic and swung his knife at Ogata.

And because of the early swing of the knife, his knife only cut through the air an inch away from the tip of Ogata's nose.

Ogata brushed past him.

While passing by him, Ogata's Da Shitian also "passed by" him.

The moment his body and the knife brushed past the bandit, blood sprayed from the bandit's chest.

The bandit fell.

The system sound that prompts you to gain experience points will sound.

This is the only bandit who has the courage to confront Ogata.

The rest of the people were trying their best to escape, wishing they could use their hands.

In the end, these escaped bandits were caught up one by one and killed.

Of course, they were basically killed by the extremely fast Ogata.

Hosaka and the others finally arrived until the bandits started fleeing and only picked up 2 heads.

Huosaka and Jincheng each dealt with a fleeing bandit.

After Ogata beheaded the last bandit who didn't even dare to turn his head back, this brief encounter officially came to an end.

Of the 12 bandits, Ogata killed 9 and captured 1 alive.Kill 1 each of Huosaka and Jincheng.

Ogata took out the pocket paper, wiped off the blood and fat on the knife, and then put the knife back into its sheath.

As soon as Da Shitian was put into the sheath, Hosaka and the others, who were all wide-eyed, walked quickly to Ogata.

Ogata's heroic demeanor of rushing into the enemy's formation at an extremely fast speed, and then defeated the 12 bandits with a single blow, greatly shocked Kasaka and the others.

Nowadays, martial arts are slack, and many samurai don't even know how to hold a sword.

This was the first time for Hosaka and the others to see with their own eyes a samurai who could fight 1 against 12.

Even Tsuchiya, who didn't talk much or express much, showed a shocked expression at this time.

"Mashima." Hosaka, who is usually very lively, had the most exaggerated expression, "I didn't expect you to be a swordsman."

Mizuno, who was standing beside Hizaka, also showed an expression of shock that was no less exaggerated than that of his master.

"Mashima-kun." Kanejo, who just criticized Ogata's so-called plan as "nonsense", looked at Ogata in front of him with a look of astonishment, "Who are you?"

"Wonders who make their homes everywhere and have no fixed place to live." Ogata smiled and patted the saber on his left waist.

"Wonder?" The look of astonishment on Jin Cheng's face became more intense, "You have such sword skills, all the feudal states will rush to invite you to be a sword master, right? It's impossible to worry about food and drink."

"Could it be that you voluntarily continue to be a ronin for the purpose of practicing martial arts?"

When he said those words, Jin Cheng's eyes burst into light.

In this era, one of the major outlets or the best outlet for warriors with superb martial arts skills is to be martial arts teachers in various vassal states.

Tsukahara Buden, Umizumi Nobutsuna, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, these well-known great swordsmen in history have all served as swordsmanship teachers for daimyos.

In the Edo period, when class solidification was extremely serious and it was almost impossible to communicate between classes, if samurai wanted to raise their class by their own efforts, they had to hone their swordsmanship besides making great achievements.

Let the feudal lord or other feudal lords admire your sword skills, and then invite yourself to be their swordsmanship teacher.

Many samurai rely on their excellent swordsmanship to raise their ranks. Unfortunately, there are very few people who can rely on their swordsmanship to raise their ranks.

As Jincheng said just now, based on Ogata's superb swordsmanship just now, it is certain that a bunch of feudal states are vying to invite Ogata to be their swordsmanship teacher, and it is impossible to worry about eating and drinking.

Obviously, he has the conditions to live a life without wandering, but he is still a wandering wanderer. In Jincheng, where the imagination is somewhat barren, the only possibility that comes to mind is that Ogata is an ambitious man who still insists on doing things. A great swordsman who practiced martial arts.

Naturally, it was impossible for Ogata to tell them the real reason why he was still a ronin.

Seeing that Jincheng handed out a step, Xu Fang followed the trend and went down the step.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "I'm still training as a warrior, and continue to hone my swordsmanship."

Hearing Ogata's words, Hosaka and the others shuddered.

To be able to possess such high-strength swordsmanship at such a young age must be a genius with talent and hard work.

A tall image was slowly outlined in the minds of Hosaka and the others.

At the same time, I also imagined the story behind Ogata. Ogata may have been a warrior of a certain domain in the past, and he was a famous talented swordsman in the domain.

He could have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing and being respected by countless people by relying on swordsmanship.

But Ogata is a person who is extremely passionate about swords.

In order to improve his swordsmanship, he gave up the fame and fortune that countless people dream of, and resolutely took up his sword and traveled all over the world to hone his swordsmanship.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the real warrior!

Hosaka and others came up with the same idea at the same time, this is the real swordsman!

The way Hosaka and the others looked at Ogata unconsciously changed.

Originally, they all looked at Ogata with the eyes of their peers.

But now, they all looked at Ogata with respectful eyes, as if they were looking at some respected senior.

The color of respect in Jin Cheng's eyes is the strongest.

The only thing he is good at and interested in is swordsmanship.

Because of his love of swordsmanship, he gave up the job his father arranged for him to look after the homes of other banner warrior families, and traveled around the world with swords to hone his swordsmanship.

For Jincheng, Ogata is simply his role model!

Jin Cheng's fiery face now looks like a devout believer.

Hosaka is the most lively, and his thinking is also the most leaping.

He not only made up the story of Ogata, but also made up the story of Acho by the way.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Ah-ding cannot be a peasant girl, and her temperament is more like a child of a samurai family.

Why would a child of the samurai family marry a genius swordsman, and then willingly accompany him to live a miserable life of wandering around?

Hosaka came up with such a story that Ogata and Atachi both spoke the same Kansai accent, and it is very likely that they both came from the same feudal kingdom.

The two fell in love with each other. When Ogata decided to practice martial arts in order to hone his swordsmanship, Amachi followed Ogata and left the feudal kingdom without any complaints. Wander around together.

Under his own powerful imagination, Hosaka not only respects Ogata, but also respects A-Machi.

Ogata naturally noticed a change in the way Hosaka and the others looked at him.

Staring blankly at Hosaka and the others in front of him, Ogata couldn't help thinking to himself:

Are they misunderstanding something?

"Master Samurai!"

At this time, the village chief and others also led the strong men in the village to rush to Ogata and others.

The village chief and the others also saw Ogata's battle just now.

The village chief and the others don't understand swordsmanship like Hosaka and the others, nor do they understand what it means to be 1 against 12 like Hosaka and the others.

All they knew was that Ogata was very strong, very strong, a very strong samurai.

Unlike Hosaka and the others who respected him deeply, the village chief thought they had found a treasure after seeing that Ogata was very strong.

Successfully found a very powerful warrior.

This feeling picked up Bao's mood, and the eyes of the village chief and others looked at Ogata became hotter.

It's just that the fire in their eyes is not the same emotion as the fire in Hizaka's eyes.

"Village Chief, you came at a good time." Ogata said, "You ask the young and strong men in the village to bury the bodies of these bandits. Remember to bury them far away from the water source, and bury them deeper."

"Although it is winter and the corpses rot slowly, it is better to dispose of them as soon as possible. If it is delayed for too long, it may cause an outbreak of disease."

"Then prepare an empty house for us."

Ogata pouted at the bandit leader who was knocked unconscious by Shiranuijutsu not far away.

"We need a secluded place to get some information out of him."

The village head quickly arranged a secluded empty house for Ogata and others.

After Ogata and the others dragged the little bandit leader who had been knocked unconscious into this room, they silently waited for him to wake up.

There was a faint musty smell in this empty room. Ogata hated this smell very much, so he sat outside the room holding a knife, breathing the cold and fresh air outside, while silently waiting for the little boss to wake up.

After Ogata single-handedly defeated the 12 bandits who came to blackmail them, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village had changed.

For example, the atmosphere of the original village is like a tight "string".

Maybe it's because I feel safe after seeing Ogata's powerful strength, or because I feel that these warriors who are brave enough to fight the bandits are trustworthy, this tight "string" is now slightly Relaxed.
