Chapter 416: Crushing Ji Taro! [7,600 Words]

I Became a Swordsman in Ancient Japan Volume 1 A Samurai Life from Scratch Chapter 416 Crushed Ji Taro! 【7600 words】Ogata and Jitaro are now in a very remote place.

There are no residential houses around, only trees, and there is no fourth person here except Ogata, Guasheng, and Jitaro.

Ogata is very satisfied with this environment without other people around.

In this way, he can also let go of his hands and feet.

"Why..." Enduring the pain from his stomach, Ji Taro stood up slowly, "Ren Zhan Yishi... will be here...!"

Shiranui has always had revenge, especially those who hinder their missions from being carried out smoothly, or directly cause their missions to fail.

To deal with such people, Shiranui has always followed the concept of "vigorous revenge".

Guasheng's parents and elder brother died tragically because of this.

Ogata's attack on Nijo Castle in Kyoto more than 3 months ago caused Shiranui to receive the first major task from the shogunate, which ended in a disastrous failure, which directly caused Shiranui's position in the hearts of most of the shogunate to plummet. .

The "anti-Shiranui forces" in the shogunate grew stronger in one breath.

Smashing someone's job is like killing one's parents—this principle is valid both in ancient and modern China and abroad.

What Ogata did in Kyoto was tantamount to smashing Shiranui's job directly.

Balrog hated Ogata deeply. After knowing that it was Ogata Yidaosai that caused their mission to protect Nijo Castle to fail, Balrog directly found a large number of Ogata's arrest warrants and spread them throughout Shiranui, demanding that everyone in the village All ninjas remember this face.

And issued a very high reward to Ogata—a reward of 5 taels for ninjas who found clues about Ogata's whereabouts. The ninja who took down the head of Ogata will receive a reward of 500 taels, and the one who captures Ogata alive will receive a reward of 1,000 taels.

Because the number of missions that can be received has decreased year by year, Shiranui's finances in these years are not very optimistic.

Not to mention 1000 taels, just 500 taels, for the current Shiranui, it is not a number that does not even have to frown after giving it out.

Balrog is willing to pay so much money to reward Ogata's head, which shows that Balrog's hatred for Ogata is really extraordinary.

Finding clues to Ogata's whereabouts is nothing more than a reward for Ogata's head, and most people in the village don't take it seriously-including Jitaro.

Although the bounty is very attractive, everyone also knows: there is no such thing as life to get that money.

More than 20 ninjas headed by Kotaro, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", defended Nijo Castle.

Among the more than 20 ninjas, they are all the top ninja and the middle ninja, and there is not a single ninja.

A team with such astonishing combat power was completely wiped out by Ogata Yidaosai.

As the "Four Heavenly Kings" who usually have more contact with each other, Ji Taro knows that Kotaro's strength is on par with him.

Although Ji Taro is usually arrogant, he is not a fool.

Kotaro lost to Ogata with so many helpers. Ji Taro would not be arrogant to think that he could kill or capture Ogata Itsai alive and get a reward by fighting alone or with few helpers. gold.

A nameless man with an ordinary appearance suddenly became a world-renowned executioner Yidao Sai - no words can describe Ji Taro's current mood.

"Why am I here... Well..." Ogata said softly, "Maybe it's because someone has been sincerely wishing."

After all, Ogata shortened his body and lowered his body's center of gravity.

The whole person turned into an afterimage again, and rushed towards Ji Taro.

Although there was still pain left in his stomach, Kyutaro couldn't care less about it now.

Gritting his teeth, he clenched the two swords in his hand and faced the slash that Ogata swung.

clang!

Ji Taro used his two swords to hold Ogata's Da Shitian and Da Zizai respectively.

After the slash was blocked, Ogata repeated his old trick—bending his left leg and kneeling towards Kyutaro's stomach.

He suffered from this move just now, so Ji Taro was already prepared.

Seeing Ogata's move again, Kyutaro gave a cold "hum", then bent his right leg and blocked Ogata's left knee with his right knee.

However——he had just bent his right leg when Xu Fang made a change.

Ogata put down his bent left leg at a faster speed than Jitaro, then stretched out his right foot, hooking Jitaro's leg with a special technique.

Looking at Ogata's action, Kyutaro's pupils suddenly shrank.

Backing away quickly, avoiding Ogata's sweeping legs, he said loudly with shock on his face:

"Why do you know the Jiu-Jitsu that we don't know?!"

With just one glance, Kyutaro recognized that what Ogata used just now was the jujitsu technique from their Shiranui Ninjutsu.

And from the perspective of strength, speed, and technique, his attainments in Shiranui-ryu Ju-Jitsu are not low!

"Sorry, I don't want to waste too much time explaining to you slowly."

The jujitsu attack just now didn't work, Ogata didn't show any frustration or regret, he regained his posture and rushed towards Ji Taro.

...

...

——Is this the circulation of "grandmaster level"...

Compared with that time in Kyoto, Ogata's biggest change is that he can freely enter the "Selfless Realm" and be promoted to "Master Level".

Now, after entering the "Selfless Realm", the transfer can directly increase to the "Grandmaster Level".

This is the first time Ogata has used the circulation of "Grandmaster".

The first feeling I brought to Ogata is:

The gap between "master level" and "grandmaster level" is much bigger than the gap between "advanced" and "master level"!

Using the "grandmaster level" circulation, Xi Jinping feels like the knife in his hand is connected to his body.

You can let the knife in your hand do what you want, parry Jitaro's attack with the fewest movements, and launch a counterattack against Jitaro.

Ji Taro is now completely suppressed by Ogata, which is the proof that the "grandmaster level" circulation is much stronger than the "master level" circulation.

According to Ogata's estimation, Ji Taro's strength is on par with that Kotaro's.

Ogata was able to fight Kotaro on a par before.

And now Ogata, who is much stronger than that in Kyoto, directly suppressed Ji Taro.

...

...

clang!

clang!

clang!

...

The sound of sharp blades colliding exploded at an unrhythmic frequency.

After using Da Zizai to break Ji Taro's stabbing sword again, Ogata cut a new wound on Ji Taro's body with Da Shitian.

This is the seventh wound that Ogata cut on Ji Taro.

Although Kyutaro also succeeded in counterattacking and caused a little injury on Ogata, the injuries he caused on Ogata were all insignificant and minor injuries.

What Kyutaro is most proud of is his speed.

His most used combat method is to rely on the agility of his body to launch a fast attack on the enemy.

However, facing Ogata, the speed that Kyutaro is proud of has no effect at all.

Ogata was a little faster than him.

Strength and physical strength are far above him.

Hard-receiving, dodging, and enduring so many attacks from Ogata, Kyutaro's breathing has already begun to become short of breath.

On the other hand, Ogata—he just breathed a little faster.

The horror on Ji Taro's face became more and more intense.

——I am now... but I have eaten "Yasha Wan"!

Ji Taro yelled in his heart in great perplexity.

This is not the first time he has eaten "Yasha Wan".

In the past, as long as he ate the "Yasha Pill", opponents who were already inseparable from him could be quickly suppressed by him.

But now, after eating the "Yasha Pill", Ogata was even beating him up - this made Kyutaro feel that his view of the world had collapsed.

--impossible! impossible!

Unwilling to accept this reality, Kyotaro straightened the swords in both hands and stabbed at Ogata like a bull's horn.

This is a killer move that Ji Taro is very proud of.

Ogata's expression didn't change when faced with the sword that was stabbing at extremely fast speed by Kyutaro.

Only using the left foot as the axis, the body turned around, dodging this killing move of Ji Taro.

Dragon Tail Flash!

After dodging Kyutaro's killing move, Ogata's Dashiten swept across towards Kyutaro's chest, cut the clothes on Kyutaro's chest, and took away part of the flesh from Kyutaro's chest.

The severe pain made Ji Taro calm down a little.

It also made Ji Taro's fear rapidly inflate.

A strong sense of fear began to control Kyutaro's mind.

Ji Taro has clearly felt that he is far from Ogata's opponent.

Fear and the desire to survive are often tied together.

Under the dual effects of fear and desire to survive, Ji Taro screamed:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

With the help of his desire to survive, Kyutaro unleashed a huge force and pushed away the sword that Ogata had cut.

After pushing Ogata away, Jitaro took out two shurikens from the back waist with quick and skillful movements, and threw them towards Ogata.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shurikens cut through the air and shot toward Ogata.

——Is it a hidden weapon...

Ogata, who had a look of surprise on his face, thought to himself, and quickly jumped to the side, avoiding the two shurikens in time.

Kyutaro didn't check to see if his two shurikens hit Ogata.

The reason why he threw these two shurikens was just to attract Shimoogata's attention and give himself a little time to escape.

The next moment after throwing these two shurikens, Ji Taro, who had no fighting intention, turned around quickly, and fled back without looking back with all his strength.

Now he is no longer thinking about any tasks, no longer thinking about killing melons after getting tired of playing with them.

There was only one thought left in his mind: run away.

- can escape! Can escape!

Kyutaro said loudly to himself.

——Ogata Ittosai's speed is not much faster than mine! As long as I try my best to escape, I can escape!

For some reason, Ji Taro recalled those people he had killed in the past for no reason.

Due to bloodthirsty nature and thirst for merit, the number of murders of the other three of the "Four Heavenly Kings" is not as many as that of Ji Taro alone.

How many fleeing people he has chased and killed, Ji Taro can't count.

Ji Taro didn't expect that he would become a fugitive and flee for his life one day.

After dodging the two shurikens thrown by Kyutaro, Ogata looked at the fleeing Kyutaro with somewhat astonished eyes.

Kyutaro lost his will to fight so quickly and ran away - this was something Ogata never expected.

"Don't casually show your back to the enemy..."

While muttering softly, Ogata turned the Ozawa of his left hand to a reverse grip, then put his left hand into his bosom, and found Kasumi Nagi.

boom!

boom!

Just now, Ogata had already used 2 bullets in Yoshihara to deal with the 2 ninjas who were going to be bad for Guasheng.

Ogata did not have time to reload Kasumagi because he was in a hurry to bring Guasheng to a safe place, so there were still 2 bullets in Kasumagi's chamber at this time.

Ogata shot all the remaining two projectiles in one go.

Ogata's shooting accuracy has also increased due to entering the "Non-Self Realm".

Of these two projectiles, one hit Ji Taro's lower back, and the other hit his right calf.

"Well!"

Ji Taro screamed in pain.

And after aiming at Ji Taro's back, Oo conveniently stuffed Kasumi back into his arms, and then rushed towards Ji Taro who couldn't even stand still because of the bullet.

Kyutaro struggled to turn around, raised the sword in his hand, intending to block Ogata who was rushing.

But his Huaijian was easily opened by Ogata with Da Shi Tiange.

Wuwu Two Swords Flow·Flow!

After parrying Kyutaro's sword, Ogata swung Da Shiten, cutting from Kyutaro's left shoulder to his right abdomen in one breath, completely incapacitating Kyutaro's ability to escape.

"What was that... just now...?" Kyotaro, who was cut to the ground by Ogata, asked while vomiting blood.

"It's a short gun."

Ogata took out Kasumi from his arms again, and showed it to Kyutaro.

"It's not just you ninjas who can use hidden weapons."

"As a warrior, it's reasonable for me to carry some hidden weapons for self-defense. It's just that the power of my hidden weapons may be a little too exaggerated."

After finishing speaking, Ogata stuffed Kasumi back into his arms.

Then he turned his head and looked at Gua Sheng, whose brain seemed to have been shut down since just now.

"Miss Guasheng, I think it's better to leave this person to you."

Ogata's knife just stopped.

It's not that I want to let Ji Taro live.

It was to give another person the chance to kill Kyutaro.

Hearing Ogata's words, Guasheng was stunned for a moment.

Then he walked slowly towards Ogata with a firm expression on his face.

Ogata handed over his freedom to Guasheng.

After receiving the Dazizai from Ogata, Gua Sheng walked slowly towards Kyotaro who was still struggling to crawl on the ground even though he had fallen to the ground.

Looking at Guasheng who was slowly approaching him with no expression on his face, Kyutaro's face and eyes were full of horror.

I don't know whether his face is pale from blood loss or from fear.

"Wait, wait!" Ji Taro hurriedly said, "I, I, I know! I was wrong! I was wrong! I will spend the rest of my life doing bullshit for you, and I will make amends for you! So... woo ah ah !"

Before Jitaro finished speaking, Guasheng raised the Daziza in his hand high, and stabbed towards the back of Jitaro who was lying on the ground.

The severe pain distorted Kyutaro's facial features.

But this severe pain also made Ji Taro's desire to survive and fear a little stronger.

This sense of fear, which he had never experienced before, made Ji Taro's tears, snot and so on all come out at this moment.

While spitting blood, Ji Taro begged Guasheng for mercy with snot and tears.

But his words of begging for mercy are just a few words.

What "forgive me", "I know I was wrong", "Please let me go", "I will never trouble you again"...

Guasheng paid no attention to Ji Taro's begging for mercy.

Just waving Daziza in his hand, he stabbed towards Ji Taro one after another.

Guasheng's hand holding the knife trembled slightly due to excitement.

Her beautiful big eyes were also steamed from excitement.

"Father... Mother... Brother..."

When stabbing Ji Taro with a knife, Gua Sheng used a slightly trembling voice, repeating his dead relatives over and over again.

After stabbing an unknown number of knives at Ji Taro, Ji Taro finally died.

Until the moment before he died, Ji Taro was still begging for mercy from Guasheng.

The face is covered with snot, tears, and blood, and the facial features have become extremely ugly due to pain, fear, and non-stop begging for mercy.

After Kyutaro died, the system voice sounded in Ogata's mind:

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with Wuwo Two Swords Flowing Flow]

[Acquire 300 personal experience points, 250 experience points for swordsmanship "Nugo Ichidou", 150 experience points for swordsmanship "Sakakibara Ichidou", and 80 points for ninjutsu "Shiranui Ninjutsu"]

Because Kyutaro was not killed by Ogata, the system judged that Ogata used the last trick he used against Kyutaro just now: transfer and defeated Kyutaro.

Because Sakakibara Ichidou and Shiranui Ninjutsu were both used when dealing with Ji Taro just now, so they also gained experience points.

Although "defeating" and "killing" compared with the experience points obtained are much less, Ogata does not feel regretful or regretful.

After all, such a little experience value is not worth mentioning compared to letting Gua Sheng get revenge and get rid of a knot in his heart.

Ogata glanced at Kyutaro who was begging for mercy with a very ugly posture until the moment before he died.

"It's really ugly..."

Ogata said in a low voice.

"If you risk everything and attack me with your life, you might be able to leave me with some very uncomfortable injuries..."

He obviously has the same strength as Kotaro, but his state of mind is far worse than Kotaro.

Kotaro has been fighting with high fighting spirit until the last moment.

After being fatally wounded, Kotaro didn't say anything to beg for mercy, and tried to stand up again and continue to fight with Ogata.

But Ji Taro chose to escape early.

Although compared with the time when he fought Kotaro before, Ogata has become much stronger, and Jitaro, who is about the same strength as Kotaro, has no chance of winning against Ogata even if he enters the "Yasha Realm".

But if Jitaro dared to put everything aside and launch a desperate attack on Ogata, it would definitely prevent Ogata from winning so easily.

It's a pity - this bloodthirsty person, facing the fear of death, is stronger than anyone else.

Let a battle that might cause multiple wounds to the enemy end in such an ugly situation.

After withdrawing his gaze from Jitaro, Ogata switched his breathing to normal breathing, exiting the "Non-Self Realm".

Then he turned his gaze to Gua Sheng, who was sitting slumped on the ground while holding Da Zi Zi.

Looking at the dead body of Ji Taro in front of him, his expression was blank.

"I... finally got revenge..." She whispered in a tone like talking to herself.

"Miss Guasheng." Ogata walked slowly to Guasheng's side, then squatted down, "Get up, the ground is very cold."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Guasheng slowly turned his head and looked at Ogata who was squatting beside him.

Looking at the face next to him that he had seen countless times in his portrait, Gua Sheng opened his beautiful eyes wide.

Tears filled the eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Big teardrops rolled down her round cheeks one after another.

Gua Sheng opened and closed his trembling lips repeatedly, as if he wanted to say something, but the words he wanted to say failed to turn into concrete words.

Ogata felt that he should say something now.

After pursing his lips and being silent for a moment, Ogata said softly:

"Sorry, I didn't respond to your wish until now. I kept you waiting."

"Woo, woo woo..."

Tears continued to fall at a faster rate.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo ah ah ah!"

The grievances, uneasiness, and grief that had been accumulated since 4 years ago burst out in one breath.

The emotions that erupted flooded out like a bank burst.

She has been alone since her family was killed four years ago.

Alone to investigate the enemy who killed his family, alone in despair facing the enemy who can't be defeated no matter how you look at it.

For the past 4 years, I have been facing all this alone.

Gua Sheng is 16 years old this year, and according to this era, she is already a mature woman.

But the way she was crying at this time was like a child.

A child who seems to have found his parents after being accidentally lost.

"Ogata... woo... Ogata-sama really... woo... really appeared in front of me!"

While crying, Guasheng said something that made Ogata laugh.

"Well, I'm here."

Guasheng threw himself into Ogata's arms.

After a while, Guasheng's tears soaked the clothes on Ogata's chest.

With a somewhat helpless smile on his face, Ogata raised his hand and gently patted Guasheng's little head.

...

...

Kyutaro is good at speed. After taking the "Yasha Pill", the speed of his body skyrocketed a lot.

Unless Keitaro and the others were riding horses, they would not be able to keep up with Kyutaro even if they broke their legs.

In order to catch up with the rescued Guasheng as soon as possible, Ji Taro acted alone, while Keitaro led the 8 ginokos to follow behind.

When Ji Taro set off at the beginning, he went in the southeast direction.

Keitaro led the eight subordinates at a much slower speed than Jitaro, and searched all the way along the southeast direction but did not find Jitaro or Guasheng, so Keitaro decided that Jitaro should have changed direction.

"Master Keitaro." One of the servants couldn't help but asked Keitaro, "Where are we going to find Master Keitaro now?"

"...Go there and try it out." Hui Taro was silent for a while, then raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.

"There? Why?"

"There's no reason, it's just a hunch. I guess Kyutaro changed his direction to find that melon."

After saying that, Keitaro suddenly turned his head and looked around.

At this moment, Keitaro is on an unknown path.

This trail is quite narrow and can only accommodate 4 people walking side by side.

On the left and right sides of the path are low, dilapidated longhouses, and the perimeter of the longhouses is protected by the same dilapidated wooden walls.

Keitaro looked around as if he was looking for something, which aroused the doubts of a ninja next to him.

"Master Keitaro, what's wrong? Did you lose something?"

"...There is no one around." Hui Taro said softly.

"Huh?" Xia Ren didn't understand, so he just looked around blankly, "After all, it's late at night, everyone is sleeping, and this place happens to be relatively remote... eh!"

Before the ninja finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his throat that almost tore him in half.

He turned his gaze and looked down.

A kunai pierced his throat, and his throat was directly shattered.

And the person holding the kunai - is Keitaro.

This ninja stood very close to Huitaro, so Huitaro only needed to raise his hand to pierce the throat of this ninja with kunai.

After ending the person's life with kunai with no expression on his face, Keitaro loosened his right hand and let go of the kunai in his hand.

While letting go of the kunai with his right hand, Keitaro touched his lower back with his left hand and took out 5 new kunai.

Keitaro shook his left hand 5 times.

The five kunai use five different flight trajectories to fly to the throats, hearts, eyebrows and other vital points of the other five jinnin.

The 5 kunai were thrown almost at the same time, and then hit the vitals of 5 genin at almost the same time, killing all 5 genin.

In a blink of an eye, Keitaro killed 6 gunin.

Keitaro moved too fast.

In addition, those present were all low-strength and inexperienced ninjas.

So until Keitaro killed all 6 of them with 6 kunai, the 2 survivors finally realized it later.

Everything came too suddenly.

Keitaro, who was leading them on a trail just now, suddenly slaughtered them for no apparent reason.

A lot of questions flooded out from the minds of the two surviving people, causing their brains to almost shut down.

However, under the influence of the desire to survive, they still suppressed the doubts and horror in their hearts, and each reacted differently.

One of them pulled out the ninja sword on his back.

The other person ran without hesitation.

Because the kunai he was carrying was used up, Keitaro drew out the short spear on his back, like a carnivorous animal, and launched a pounce on the ninja who drew the sword.

There is no suspense in the battle.

After only one meeting, this ninja who was planning to resist was shot by Keitaro and died.

This ninja didn't see how Keitaro shot just now until his heart was stabbed wrongly.

Retracting the short spear that pierced the heart of this ninja, Keitaro chased after the only one who escaped.

The strong fear and horror made the escaped ninja scream with a hoarse voice while trying his best to escape.

call--!

He felt that there seemed to be a group of wind blowing from behind him.

Turn around and look.

Keitaro, holding a short gun, ran on his left, walking side by side with him.

Obviously he started one step faster than Keitaro, but Keitaro still caught up with ease.

Moreover, Keitaro's expression was very calm, with a look of ease.

Chi!

The sound of short guns tearing through clothes and flesh sounded.

Keitaro waved the short spear in his hand sideways, and the ninja was cut to the ground directly, blood spattering.

Because Shinobu screamed when he ran away just now, most of the residents living in the surrounding area were woken up.

Lights began to burst from the windows of certain houses, and there was noise.

Keitaro slammed the short gun in his hand downwards, drained the blood from the gun head, and left the scene quickly before the surrounding residents ran out to check the situation...

...

...

After killing all the eight ninjas, Huitaro searched around for a while, and finally found the body of Jitaro in a remote place.

Because this place is too remote, no one lives here, and no one passes by here, so Ji Taro's body is lying in this place so quietly.

As for whether anyone else found Jitaro's body before him, Huitaro didn't know.

After seeing Jitaro's body, Huitaro's face was full of astonishment, wondering if he had read it wrong.

Kneeling down next to Jitaro's corpse, and after examining Jitaro's body carefully, Keitaro said softly:

"Being stabbed to death by random knives... You can actually kill Master Jitaro who fell into the 'Yasha Realm'... Who did it...?"

After looking up and down at Jitaro's body several times, Keitaro stood up.

"...Forget it. It doesn't matter who kills it."

"At first, I wanted to sneak attack Master Jitaro while he wasn't paying attention."

"Now that Master Jitaro has been killed, I feel relieved."

After all, Kyutaro who stood up lowered his head again and looked at the corpse of Kyutaro at his feet.

"...Gekutaro-sama, you are actually surprisingly sharp."

Keitaro said softly.

"I... don't have a stomachache."

"I just kept feeling sorry for having to kill you tonight..."

Looking at Ji Taro's body, Keitaro's eyes flickered a few times.

After seeing Jitaro's body for the last few times, Keitaro bent down and carried Jitaro's body on his back. Under the moonlight, he carried Jitaro's body and blended into the darkness of an alley not far away.
