I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 662 Ah Ding—Dangerous! [Six Thousand Eight Hundred]

Latest URL: The world once again became transparent before Ogata's eyes.

It's a pity that Ogata didn't have time to experience this transparent world.

Because Uohachiro's two wakizashis have already stabbed him.

However, his attack is destined to be in vain.

After all, in Ogata's eyes, there is nothing to hide from any of his movements, whether it's his feet that drain the water, or the wakizasa that stabs at Ogata.

How much force Uohachiro needs to use and where to stab Ogata's body, Ogata knows better than Uohachiro himself.

Following this prediction as if predicting the future, Ogata suddenly raised the knife in both hands——

...

...

Yu Hachiro saw it.

He saw a scene that made him subconsciously suspect that he was dreaming.

Although this scene was only for a short moment, it only lasted for a moment, and Uohachiro's mouth couldn't help but open wide in shock, and his eyes widened.

Just now, Yu Hachiro saw that he was about to send the sabers forward, and Xu Yi quickly raised the two sabers in his hands.

Hearing only a muffled sound of "ding", Ogata, with no more or less strength, used his wakizawa to block the knife stabbed by Yuhachiro.

Yu Hachiro feels that this has gone beyond the category of "prejudgment"...

The speed is fast, the defense is precise and timely... It is not so much "prejudgment" as "predicting the future"!

After missing a hit, Uohachiro subconsciously wanted to repeat the same trick, using his superb swimming skills to escape from Ogata.

But who knows... just as he touched the water with his feet, a cold light came towards Yubalang.

It's Ogata's sword.

Ogata lifted the sword and wakizasa in his hands almost at the same time.

As if he knew in advance in which direction Uohachiro would flee, when he used Wakizashi to defend, Ogata had already slashed the sword before Uohachiro started to retreat.

He slashed heavily towards Uohachiro's left rear.

When Uohachiro pushed hard on the water and unconsciously retreated to his left rear, his body happened to move to the place where Ogata's sword was about to fall.

The saber that Ogata slashed just so impartially... fell on his forehead.

Pooh...

A large amount of blood gushed out from Uohachiro's forehead, blurring Ogata's vision.

Ogata's blow just now was the flow of "luck energy" added.

Yu Hachiro's forehead was smashed in one breath, and even the skull was smashed to pieces.

【Ding! Use Wuwu Two Swords · Flow to kill the enemy]

【Ding! When the experience value is full, the level of Iga-ryu Forbidden Art will increase by 1 stage, and you will get 2 skill points]

Uohachiro had heard before that - even if the head is cut off, the consciousness of the brain will not disappear immediately.

He didn't expect it to be true. Although the cost of testing the authenticity of this matter is slightly higher.

Although his forehead was directly smashed into pieces, Uohachiro still has some consciousness and strength left, but this little consciousness and strength are also passing away rapidly.

At the moment when his consciousness was about to dissipate, Uohachiro stared closely at Ogata who had beheaded him with incredible techniques just now.

Then he grinned, exhausted the last bit of strength in his body and said in a low voice:

"sharp……"

...

...

"Hey! Did you see the adults?"

"Didn't see it!"

"Shall we go under the water and look for your lord?"

...

Uohachiro's subordinates are all standing on the bank of the canal, looking at the surface of the canal with eyes full of various emotions.

If you use one word to describe their current emotions, it would be - bewildered.

They managed to find Ogata just now, but their commander Uohachiro asked them not to shoot, and then rushed over by himself, knocking Ogata into the river.

Most of them don't know much about Yu Hachiro's personality, so they don't understand why Yu Hachiro insists on fighting Shura without using his flintlock.

But ignorance is ignorance, doubts are doubts, Yu Hachiro is their commander after all, and he can't be ignored. After Yu Hachiro knocked Ogata into the river, Yu Hachiro's subordinates rushed to him with guns. By the river, look for Uohachiro and Ogata.

All of them stretched their necks, their eyes were sore, and they still didn't see either of them coming out of the water.

Just when some of them proposed whether to go into the river to look for Yubalang, the water surface that had been calm since just now finally changed.

First, there are circles of water patterns emerging from the bottom to the top of the water.

Immediately afterwards... the surface of the water slowly "turned black".

Some sharp-eyed people immediately saw that it wasn't that the water surface had turned black, but that the water surface had turned red. It's just that under the cover of night, it looks like the water has turned black.

Before they had time to be shocked by the sudden burst of blood, they heard a "wow"——

A man emerged from the blood-stained river.

It was Ogata.

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

Just after swimming out of the water, Xu Bian greedily swallowed the bloody air.

For the first time, Ogata felt that being able to breathe turned out to be such a happy thing.

If it was only a few seconds at night, he might really die in the water.

And after Ogata swam out of the water, Uohachiro...ah, no, it was Uohachiro's body, which also surfaced from the bottom of the water.

Uohachirou, whose head had been slit wide open, emerged from the water beside Ogata in a face-up posture with his glasses wide open.

Although Yubalang's death looks a little creepy, but there is no fear and unwillingness in his eyes that are often seen when people are about to die.

In Uohachiro's dull eyes, there are only two emotions: regret and admiration.

Uohachiro's subordinates on the shore stared blankly at Ogata, who was breathing heavily on the water, and Uohachiro's body, which was no longer moving.

They are well-trained fighters.

After a short period of daze, without anyone's command, they raised the flintlock guns in their hands in a very neat movement, aiming at Ogata who was still breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Ogata's expression changed, and he quickly took a deep breath, filled his lungs with the freshest air, and plunged his body into the river again.

At the same moment when he re-entered the bottom of the water, gunshots exploded, and hot bullets hit the small piece of water where Ogata had just appeared, causing small splashes of water.

——Going ashore at this place will only make them a living target...

Deciding that he couldn't swim back to the shore in front of these musketeers, Ogata plunged into the depths of the canal in one breath.

He felt bullets passing over his head and around him.

——If only the "Transparent Realm" was still there...

Just like breaking through the siege of the Red Moon Fortress by the First Shogunate Army in Ezodi last time, this "transparent state" came suddenly and went quickly.

After killing Yu Hachiro, the wonderful feeling of "the world is transparent in front of my eyes" disappeared completely.

——If the "Transparent Realm" is still there... you should be able to predict where these bullets will hit in advance.

After feeling so emotional in his heart, Ogata speeded up, spurred by the bullets, Ogata speeded up and swam away from the musketeers.

...

...

Ah Qing is in a very bad mood right now.

As a member of the Iga Ninja, she was previously ordered to use the pseudonym "Harukiku" as a wandering girl to lurk in the Mushroom Flower House in Shinmachi, trying to get in touch with the big shots in Osaka and collect information.

And this latent task of hers was accomplished quite well - relying on her outstanding acting skills and appearance, she formed a very good relationship with the gunner and the gunner with the town of Osaka.

Just a few days ago, she received a new task - to try to assassinate Osaka Town tonight.

She didn't know why she wanted to kill Osaka so suddenly. And she doesn't care about the reason, anyway, just complete the task obediently.

So a few days ago, she used the "Tian Hong Letter" to ask Dasaka Town to meet tonight, and then she successfully stabbed his head with an iron awl just now.

After successfully completing the task, Ah Qing thought she could take a break after returning to the main camp, but unexpectedly, a new task came—she was stuffed with a wanted warrant and several fireworks tubes.

This arrest warrant that was forced into her arms was the executioner's arrest warrant.

Search every corner of the city, find the man on the arrest warrant, or the man wearing a bamboo hat and a veil, and then set off the fireworks for you in the sky—this is the new mission Ah Qing has received.

It was only at this time that Ah Qing knew that the people above were going to launch a huge battle called "Osaka Spring Battle and Operation Suoxu" tonight, as well as "Plan A" and "Plan B" against Ogata.

She didn't even have to take a break, and she was going to perform a new task. Of course, Ah Qing was not happy about it.

But she didn't have the right to refuse the task, so she could only bite the bullet.

Ah Qing randomly ran around in Osaka City, looking for Ogata.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fang did not find it, but found something else——

"Ok?"

Ah Qing, who was standing on a big tree, spotted a...slightly familiar corpse on the street not far away from the corner of her left eye.

After looking intently, Ah Qing gasped—that corpse was actually their "Iga Star": Naganosuke.

Shocked inwardly, Ah Qing quickly jumped down from the tree and ran towards Naganosuke's corpse.

Next to Naganosuke's body, there are now two flustered musketeers looking at each other.

Glancing at the dead body of Naganosuke, who was stabbed in the eyes by a sharp weapon and stabbed in the vitals of the abdomen and throat, Ah Qing asked the two musketeers:

"what happened?"

Facing Ah Qing's inquiry, the two musketeers did not respond.

The two of them who were silent looked up and down at Ah Qing who was wearing the Iga ninja costume.

There was a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Such gazes... as if looking at something very filthy.

Ah Qing was actually quite used to their gazes.

This is a compulsory course for ninjas... especially for female ninjas-you must learn to get used to the strange gazes cast by other people.

At this moment, a voice that made Ah Qing subconsciously smile, sounded behind her:

"Huh? Ah Qing! You're here!"

"Jiezheng..." Ah Qing looked behind her with tender eyes, at the owner of the voice just now.

It was a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and neatly combed crescent hair.

This handsome young man ran towards Ah Qing with a smile on his face.

Behind him, followed by more than 40 musketeers.

"Jiezheng." Ah Qing asked the young man named Jiezheng, "Why are you here?"

Jiezheng - one of Ah Qing's few friends.

Ah Qing is just one of the most common members of the Iga Ninja, who has been able to do only some dirty and tiring work.

However, Jiezheng was young and promising, and had made great achievements under Toyotomi's command at a young age.

Logically speaking, people with so many different levels, let alone being friends, may not even meet each other a few times.

But the development of the world is so strange. Under all kinds of mistakes, Ah Qing and Jie Zheng have become very good friends.

"Why else? It's not because of the launch of 'Project B'." Jiezheng smiled wryly, "I just finished the task of 'destroying the rice market in Tangjima', but a new task came, which is really frustrating..."

"I am now leading my subordinates to wait for the 'red fireworks' that mark Shura's location to appear, while trying to find Shura by myself."

"As a result, I came to this place without knowing it, and then I ran into you by chance."

After finishing speaking, Jiezheng looked seriously at the body of Naganosuke that he had just discovered not far away.

"Ah Haru, this is your Iga's Naganosuke, right? How did he die?"

"I don't know." Ah Qing shrugged, "I was about to ask these two people just now, but they kept silent to me."

Haru pouted at the two musketeers who were still standing beside Naganosuke.

Jiezheng immediately shifted his sharp eyes to those two people.

The two of them dared to do nothing to Ah Qing, but they didn't dare to neglect Jie Zheng, who could lead a musketeer team alone and was at the commander level.

They hurriedly explained to Jiezheng, Ah Qing and the others the cause of the series of events that "they encountered a woman suspected to be Shura's wife".

The two of them are the subordinates of Baixiang.

After they followed Bai Xiang to clean up the corpses, when Yu Bai Xiang led them to arrest A Ding, the two of them were very lucky to be placed on the east side of the guard's house.

When A-Ming escaped from the west side of the house, the two people who were in charge of guarding the east side were very lucky to escape unharmed, unlike the two companions who were guarding the west side, they were directly shot in the head by A-Ming.

After Acho escaped from the house, Naganosuke led the two of them to chase.

In terms of skill, how can the two of them compare to each other?

So Naganosuke said to them, "I'll take a step first, remember to catch up quickly", and then rushed up to the roof by himself, chasing A-cho, and let the two of them run on the ground "wheezing and wheezing".

Running and running... Then I found Naganosuke's body.

When the two of them were at a loss, Ah Qing came.

Jiezheng's expression darkened after he understood the cause of the incident.

"Asura's... wife..."

Compared to Jiezheng's serious face, Ah Qing looked normal.

Rather, she was a little happy seeing Naganosuke being killed.

She has always hated Nagaosuke, who is very arrogant.

It's just that he has better talent and is called "Iga Star" by people, so he can't wait to point his nostrils at the sky from morning till night.

Such an annoying guy, it's okay to die.

After gloating at Naganosuke's corpse for a few times, Ah Qing began to look around Naganosuke.

Next to Naganosuke, there was a small series of bloody footprints.

This string of footprints extends to the east street intersection, and there are only about twenty footprints. From about the 16th footprint, it becomes blurred because the blood sticking to the soles of the feet is almost wiped off by the ground.

Judging from the size and shape of the footprints, the owner of the footprints was a woman—probably the footprints of the woman who killed Naganosuke and was suspected to be Shura's wife.

Jiezheng, who had been in a contemplative state since just now, suddenly made a sound——

"Ah Haru, can you go with me to hunt down the woman who killed Naganosuke?"

"Me?" Ah Qing, who was suddenly named, pointed at herself, "You want to find that woman, okay? Shouldn't our mission now be to hunt down Shura?"

"That's right, I just wanted to hunt down Shura, so I felt the need to find the woman who is suspected to be Shura's wife. If that woman is really Shura's wife, then we must not let her go no matter what. Lord Jijiu must also Will agree to let us search for that woman." Jiezheng smiled softly at Ah Qing, "And if you want to find someone, you still have to rely on you as a ninja. I'm not good at finding people."

"...If you want me to help, I don't care." Ah Qing muttered.

"That's good." Jiezheng nodded, and then turned his gaze to the two subordinates who paid homage to the hometown:

"The two of you go back to the main camp first, and tell Lord Jijiu what happened to you. By the way, tell Lord Jijiu: Based on the situation I am in, I judge that it is extremely necessary to find the wife who is suspected to be Shura. In order not to miss the opportunity of the battle, I led the female ninja, Ah Qing, to search for the woman's trace first."

After giving orders to those two people, Jiezheng turned his gaze to Ah Qing.

Jie Zheng, who quickly assigned the task, waved his big hand, and led the more than 40 musketeers and Ah Qing under his command to rush in the direction where Ah Ding's footprints disappeared.

Although Ah Qing feels that they currently have too few clues, and that finding Ah Ding is like looking for a needle in a haystack, she still acts as Jiezheng's "eye" meticulously and conscientiously, climbing to high places frequently, looking for clues. The figure of Machi.

Eyesight is probably Ah Qing's only advantage besides acting skills and eyebrows.

She can easily see objects that others can't see clearly with binoculars.

The two musketeers who survived the capture of A-cho just now told A-cho and the others about A-cho's appearance.

Wearing a red and white kimono, she should not be wearing shoes and socks, and there is a high probability of a lot of blood splattered on her body - such characteristics are quite obvious, and it is not difficult to find.

But even so, Ah Qing has not found a target with matching characteristics for a long time.

They searched aimlessly to the east.

Ah Qing climbed up to the high place again and again.

When Ah Qing climbed onto the roof of a private house for the first time and looked around with her hands on her eye sockets, she suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from her side.

Take a closer look - it turns out that Jie is climbing up the roof.

"How? Have you found Shura's wife?"

"No." Ah Qing said without thinking, "Women wearing red and white kimonos have found a few, but their bears are not big, and there is no blood on their bodies."

"Is that so..." Jie revealed regret.

"Speaking of which—when did you become so interested in your work?" Ah Qing asked Chaosuke, "You even took the initiative to lead someone to chase Shura's wife."

"As far as I know, you should be the type of 'you can't do the task if you can'."

Hearing Ah Qing's words, Jiezheng was stunned for a while.

Then... a look of embarrassment appeared.

"Well... There are indeed some special reasons for me to take the initiative to take on the task..."

"Oh? What is the original... hmm?"

Ah Qing hadn't finished speaking, she had been resting her hands on her eyelids, looking around, searching for Ah Ding's figure, when she suddenly stopped talking.

Then narrowed his eyes and looked to the northeast of himself...

...

...

A-Ming held his chest that felt like it was about to explode due to the violent panting, panting heavily.

Looking at the familiar hotel in front of her, she showed a somewhat relieved look on her face: "Finally... back..."

On the way from killing Naganosuke to returning to the hotel, Ah-machi has thoroughly implemented the idiom "non-stop".

A-cho, who didn't dare to stop at all, kept rushing to the hotel at a sprint speed.

The feet without shoes and socks were cut by the gravel and they were running.

Running until my lungs feel like my lungs are going to explode is also running.

Although after dealing with Naganosuke, no one came out to stop A-cho. But the chaotic flow of people on the street brought a lot of obstacles to Ah-Ming.

Fires broke out all over Osaka.

In the direction of Osaka City, there were still occasional cannon shots.

The monstrous flames caused the whole of Osaka to be in chaos.

People in the Edo period have always had an instinctive fear of fire.

Their houses are basically made of wood, and a random fire may burn a city to nothing.

Everyone rushed to the suburbs of the city with their families and their families.

Although he tried his best to avoid entering the crowded street, A-Machi was accidentally stuck in a crowded traffic flow. He couldn't move forward and couldn't go backward, which wasted a lot of time.

After finally returning to the hotel, Ah-Machi did not rush in, but scanned her surroundings with vigilant eyes, and after confirming that no one was following her, she strode into the hotel.

The hotel is very quiet now—the hotel staff and the rest of the guests must have escaped by now.

He quickly ran to the door of the room where they lived, and opened the door——Azuki's little face full of panic appeared in front of Acho.

During the time when A-Ming was away, A-Zhu could be described as "seconds like years".

Not long after A-Ming left the hotel, she heard the sound of gunfire.

Immediately afterwards, fires broke out all over Osaka.

Including the hotel staff and the rest of the passengers, they all began to flee.

A Zhu, who is still young and inexperienced, also panicked in the face of one unexpected situation after another.

However, although "Shen" panicked, Azhu's hands and feet did not panic.

No matter what happens, it must be right to stay in the hotel and wait for Ogata and Acho to come back, so Azuki calmed down and continued to stay in the hotel room

She didn't wait in the room either, she packed her and Ogata's luggage neatly, so that when Ogata and the others came back, they could immediately take their luggage and run away, leaving Osaka, which now felt perilous.

"A-Ming Xiao..." Seeing A-Ming's return, A-Zhu first showed joy, but after seeing the dried blood splattered on A-Ming's clothes, she froze suddenly, and the rest of her voice faltered. in her throat.

Before he had time to ask Ah-cho "what's the matter". A-Machi took the lead and asked A-Zhu:

"Ayi, hasn't he come back yet?"

"Huh? No." A Zhu's head shook like a rattle.

Ah-Ming's face turned pale.

At this time, she noticed the neatly wrapped luggage of her, Ogata, and Azuki lying on the ground nearby.

"Did you help us pack our luggage? That's just right! Take your luggage with me and leave here! Ayi is being watched by someone! This place may not be safe anymore!"

Now Azuki has countless questions that he wants to ask Acho.

But she's also a smart kid.

Seeing Machi's hasty look, she knew it was not a good time to ask questions, so she obediently kept her mouth shut, and followed Machi to carry their luggage.

Putting her and Ogata's luggage on the back very fiercely, A-Machi did not follow the steps to walk up the stairs and leave through the door on the first floor.

Instead, prepare to leave the room in the most time-saving, labor-saving and ninja-style way—by jumping out of the window.

However, before she opened the window of the room, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the hotel... from far to near.

There were so many things that happened tonight, Ah-Ming unconsciously became accustomed to all kinds of accidents and emergencies.

A-Machi, who just frowned with his pretty brows, motioned for A-Zhu to bend down, and jumped under the window, then opened the window a little, and looked out of the hotel through the slit.

A large number of musketeers with flintlock guns were swarming towards the hotel from all directions—this was what Ah-cho saw.
