I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The moment he saw the man in black on the tree, drops of cold sweat immediately burst out from Isshiki's forehead.

Thanks to the moonlight, Isshiki saw clearly... the clothes the man in black was wearing on the tree. .

This person's attire is exactly the same as the attire of the three men in black who attacked her and Ogata in the abandoned Buddhist temple...

Almost without any hesitation or thinking - the next moment when cold sweat broke out from his forehead, Isshihua gritted his teeth, and he was supporting the one who was unable to stand upright. Obviously, there was no one to pursue the enemy. With strength, Ogata placed it on the ground, then pulled out the knife from Ogata's waist, quickly said "borrow it" to Ogata, and ran straight to the big tree where the man in black was with the knife in hand. .

Without anyone to explain to Isshiki, she also knew that if the man in black who found out about her and Ogata's whereabouts was not killed as soon as possible, how much trouble would await her and Ogata in the future.

Looking at Isshiki who was killing him, the man in black on the tree smiled contemptuously—then jumped to the trunk of another big tree in the back, and then jumped again, to another tree from Isshiki. on a tree farther away.

The trees here are dense, and for these ninjas, this kind of place is simply a paradise, whether it is chasing the enemy or escaping from the enemy's pursuit, it is extremely convenient.

--stop! stop!

Isshiki tried her best to catch up, and shouted "stop" in her heart over and over again, hoping that something miraculous would happen to make the ninja stop. For example - this ninja accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the tree, or when jumping on the branch of a big tree, the branch suddenly broke and fell to the ground along with the branch.

She was so full of expectations.

However... the miracle did not happen.

Although she tried her best to catch up, although she prayed over and over in her heart that a miracle would happen, the ninja kept getting further and further away from her, getting smaller and smaller in her field of vision, and finally—completely Disappear.

"Ha...ha...ha...ha..." Isshiki stopped slowly, looking at the front where no one could be seen, she wiped her face with a mixture of hot and cold sweat. Beads of sweat formed, biting his lower lip unwillingly, "Bastard...! What's wrong with me...!"

Since tonight... she has hardly encountered a good thing.

Bad things, one after another.

The whereabouts of the family are unknown, the house is on fire, and I want to help the person I love escape, but I can't even do something as simple as catching up with the enemy...

A strong sense of helplessness struck Ishikawa's heart, and turned into a stream of heat that enveloped Ishikawa's eyeballs.

Just when the tears were about to fall, Isshiki raised her left hand, wiped her eyes with the back of her left hand, and held her breath, forcibly holding back her tears, then turned around and hurried back to where Ogata had just put down. place.

As soon as he returned to Ogata's side, Isshiki Hana saw Ogata who was putting his hands on the ground and was trying to get up, but his body was weak, and it was the limit for Ogata to support his upper body. Stand up with your whole body.

Seeing that Isshiki came back, he asked:

"What's the matter...? Are there pursuers... have they come over..."

"Yeah." Isshiki nodded, then retracted the knife in her hand into Ogata's sheath, and leaned over to hang Ogata's left arm around her neck again, "I'm sorry... I couldn't stop that People...it's not safe here, let's go."

After saying that, Isshiki Hana pulled Ogata involuntarily and strode forward.

"...Miss Isshiki."

"Ok?"

Ogata raised his gaze and looked directly into Isshiki's eyes.

Even though it was difficult for him to speak now, Ogata still looked straight into Isshiki's eyes in a serious tone, and said sternly, word by word.

"It's...enough...thank you tonight...for all your help..."

"Since... our location... has been... discovered..."

"Then it won't take long...there should be a lot of chasing soldiers...kill them..."

"At our...current speed...being caught up...it's just...a matter of time..."

"You didn't need to...you didn't need to go through me...this muddy water..."

"You hurry up and get out of here alone..."

"If you're alone...you can definitely get out of here..."

After finishing speaking, Ogata was about to push away Isshiki who was supporting him.

Unexpectedly, when trying to push Isshiki away, Ogata was surprised to find that Isshiki increased the strength of his shoulders.

"I'm leaving alone? Your body is so weak now that you can't even stand. If I abandon you and leave, what will you do?" Isshiki looked at Ogata with a bit of anger in her eyes. Eye.

"Do not worry about me……"

"'Don't worry about you'? You wouldn't even believe that, would you?"

"If I abandon you now, who am I?"

"When we dealt with the pirates together, if you hadn't rescued me in time, I would have died at the hands of the pirates long ago."

"Thanks to your timely help in the 'big trial match' a few days ago, I was not injured by that An Yun."

"You helped me twice, and one of them was a life-saving grace."

"Although I am a daughter, I am also the daughter of a martial family from a martial arts family."

"I would rather die than do something that humiliates the Wu family like 'disregarding the savior'."

After saying that, Isshiki Hana tightened the hands that held Ogata's shoulders again.

"We haven't reached the dead end yet."

Isshiki Hua forced out a not-so-good-looking smile towards Ogata.

"We're just letting people find out where we are now."

"Wait for the person who discovered our location to inform the main force, and then wait for the main force to chase over here. This process will definitely take a lot of time."

"So we still have plenty of time to escape, hide..."

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha D

Footsteps that were dense like a swarm of bees flying suddenly sounded from behind Ogata, Isshiki, and the others.

The sound of footsteps after another made the smile of Isshiki Hana, who was still smiling and told Ogata that they had not yet reached the end of the road, froze for a moment.

...

...

——Ahh...that's really going well!

The left and right guards, who carried the big naginata sword on their shoulders, showed a smug smile while leading the group forward.

Not long ago, after receiving an order from Yoshihisa to "discover Ogata Ichitosai or his gang at the northwest corner of Osaka, all groups except 9, 12, 13, and 15 should assemble there immediately", the left and right guards The door immediately led his team and rushed to the northwest corner of Osaka where Ogata was said to have been discovered.

The battle that Jijiu made this time is not too big.

Not only has most of the musketeer troops been mobilized, but also a large number of Iga ninjas have also been transferred here, responsible for the location of Ogata or Ogata's gang.

Originally, Yogata thought that even if he knew that Ogata or his gang were in the northwest corner of Osaka, it would be extremely difficult to find them. After all, Ogata and the others were not puppets that couldn't move or escape. , easier said than done to find them?

But things are always so unpredictable.

Just now, a famous Iga ninja brought a piece of news that left and right guards could not believe their ears-in the suburbs outside the northwest of Osaka, Ogata Ichitosai was found!

His current physical condition looks poor, he is being supported by a very beautiful woman, and the two are currently running away from Osaka.

When this news came, Yoemon was stunned for a few seconds as if he had lost his soul.

Immediately afterwards, a joyous look that could not be concealed appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Due to the fact that there are still some groups that have not yet arrived in the northwest corner of Osaka, currently only 8 groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11 are assembled in the northwest corner of Osaka.

The number sounds like a lot, but in fact many of them are in a disabled state.

Groups 3 and 7 were severely injured, and there were few people left in groups 4 and 5.

Without exception, they were all crippled and crippled by Ogata in a series of battles with Ogata just now.

That is to say - 8 teams, it sounds like a lot of people, but there are not many people left in 4 of them. The total strength of these 8 teams is just enough to 250 people.

I finally found Ogata, but I can't let him escape!

So, in order not to delay the fighter jets, Yoemon immediately asked the eight groups that had successfully assembled in the northwest corner of Osaka to immediately follow him to pursue Ogata. At the same time, he asked the ninjas to rush to the spot where Ogata was found just now and continue to help They tracked and located Ogata's location.

On the outskirts of Osaka, there are no dense houses and narrow streets where Ogata can take advantage of melee combat.

What's more, according to the report of the Iga ninja who discovered Ogata's location - that Ogata Ichitosai, for some reason, is currently in such a miserable state that he needs a woman to support him even when he walks.

Left and right guards don't know why Ogata, who was able to fight with him not long ago, suddenly became so weak, and he didn't want to know the reason. It's a good time to kill him!

In a terrain so favorable to them, using 8 teams and 250 musketeers to deal with Ogata, who is now extremely weak... No matter how you think about it, you can't think of them who have the advantage, what else can there be? The reason for losing to Ogata!

The 250 musketeers, under the unified command of the left and right guards, went from all directions in the direction where Ogata had just been found.

"Yoemon-sama!" An Igao Shinobu suddenly jumped from a tree and ran to the side of Yoemon. In order not to be thrown off by Yoemon, he maintained his relationship with Yoemon. At the same running speed, he quickly reported to the left and right guards, "Asura is running to the northeast! Asura is running to the northeast!"

"To the northeast..." Yoemon immediately adjusted his running direction and ran towards the northeast.

It didn't take long for a new ninja to report Ogata's latest position to Zuoemon, so Zuoemon corrected the direction of the pursuit again.

Left and right guard just kept repeating the steps of "being informed of Ogata's latest position by the ninja and correcting the direction of pursuit".

Immediately—— Left and right guards made a low "um" sound, then held their breath and listened.

Under the transformation of "the power of immortality", Yoemon is not only physically strong, but also has five senses far beyond ordinary people.

He keenly heard - not far in front of him, there were two very rapid footsteps.

A hideous and smug smile filled the cheeks and pupils of the left and right guards.

After a while, another ninja came to report the latest position of Ogata and the others to the left and right guards.

After listening to the ninja's new report, Yoemon stopped the ninja when the ninja was about to leave.

"Hey, go and tell all your fellow ninjas, whether you shoot darts or shuriken, in short, do whatever you can to make the woman who is helping Shura escape stop me!"

"Ah! But remember—don't kill her!"

...

...

"Haaa...! Haaa...! Haaa...! Haaa...!"

Mouth breathing so often and violently that Isshiki now feels like her throat is horribly dry.

Not only was the throat unpleasant, Ishiki felt that her chest was equally painful, her chest felt like it was about to burst, and her lungs were aching.

Isshiki has never been so eager to sit down and take a good rest since she was born.

But she dared not stop.

She dare not rest.

The sound of footsteps coming closer and closer came from behind him, to Isshika, it was like the footsteps of the impermanence of black and white, and the footsteps of King Yama.

In addition to the footsteps, Isshiki also heard the swaying sound of "Salsa" leaves behind her.

She knew—it was probably the sound of those men in black moving up the trees.

Those people in black should be constantly looking for and confirming the positions of her and Ogata, and then orienting their large troops.

Isshiki is annoyed now.

She knew that if she didn't try to get rid of these men in black quickly, even if she and Ogata ran out of strength, they wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of those behind them.

But she couldn't think of any way to counteract those men in black...

Her skills are not so agile, and she can't walk on the tree like these men in black.

And she can't stop now.

She felt that as long as she stopped now, the pursuers behind her and Ogata would immediately kill her.

Faced with this dilemma, the only thing Isshiki knew of herself that she could do at the moment... was to run.

Take Ogata... run forward...

Isshiki gritted her teeth, and then silently tightened the strength of the hands that were supporting Ogata again.

This is the wonderful phenomenon she just discovered.

As long as she hugged Ogata tightly, she could feel a new power gushing out from her body. This power suppressed the unease and fear in Ishiki's heart, and instilled new strength into her legs.

Even though there were hundreds of chasing soldiers behind her, and even though the sound of footsteps chasing behind her was like waves, Isshikika still supported Ogata with a firm face and did not let go.

It's a pity... God seems to be playing with the two of them with all his heart—

"what--!"

Isshiki suddenly felt a tear-like pain from her right calf.

With a scream, she and Ogata both fell forward.

While running fast, he suddenly fell to the ground—it was so painful that I didn't need to go into detail.

Isshiki saw the dark muddy ground rushing towards her, and then Venus fluttered in front of her eyes, and severe pain came from the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the arm, and the flank.

"Master Yidaozhai, are you alright?"

Isshiki looked at her injuries, but she endured the pain first, and went to see if Ogata, who had been knocked to the ground by her, was injured.

"I'm fine..."

After confirming that Ogata was okay, Isshiki Hana came to check her injuries.

Although the fall was painful just now, there was no injury, but the skin was broken on the forehead and the bridge of the nose.

The only seriously injured part of Isshiki's body... was her right calf.

I saw a shuriken sinking deep into the calf of her right calf.

And this is also the culprit responsible for Isshiki's fall.

After receiving the order to "stop Isshiki Hana" from Yoemon, the Iga ninjas who were chasing the two Ogata have been looking for an opportunity to stop Isshiki Hana.

If the order given by Yoemon is "kill that woman", then this task is much easier, just throw the shuriken without thinking.

But Yoemon's order was to "stop this woman".

How could the ninjas not know this little Jiujiu in the heart of the guards - "kill Ogata" and "kill Ogata and his associates", obviously the latter's achievements are more dazzling.

These ninjas obviously cannot have the courage to offend Yoemon, so they can only seriously follow Yoemon's orders, carefully looking for someone who can stop Isshiki, but not kill Isshiki. opportunity.

Finally—just now, a ninja who was good at throwing a shuriken seized the opportunity and threw a shuriken, stabbed Ishika's right leg, and directly disabled Ishika's mobility.

The face of a color flower is now blue and white.

She moved her right leg, and the pain was excruciating, making her feel extremely painful even standing up now.

salsa salsa...

At this time, the surrounding trees heard the swaying sound of dense "Salsa" leaves.

Isshiki looked up and saw more than a dozen men in black, scattered on the trees around her and Ogata.

Neither near nor far away.

So quietly surrounded Ogata and Isshiki.

rumbling rumbling...

A huge number of chasing soldiers were close at hand, and the sound of footsteps merged into a "rumbling" sound, like thunder.

--how so……

Isshiki flower is like a defeated rooster, slowly lowering her head, biting her lips tightly with the strength that she wants to bite her lips.

at this time--

"Eh……?"

Out of the corner of his eyes, Ichiki caught a glimpse of a small stone statue whose name was known even if he was not a Buddhist worshiper standing under the root of a large tree next to him.

"Ksitigarbha...Bodhisattva..."

The stone statues of Jizo Bodhisattva can be seen everywhere on the streets of Japan, because in Japan, Jizo Bodhisattva is considered to be the Bodhisattva who gives priority to relief for the weakest, and is the patron saint of children, travel, and traffic safety.

Isshiki looked at this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with a dull gaze that seemed to have lost her soul...

...

...

——Is this... so far...

Ogata struggled to prop up his upper body and slowly pulled out the tattered knife he had exchanged from Ishikawa.

——Unexpectedly...I was wanted by the Edo shogunate all over the country...In the end, I was not killed by the Tokugawa clan...but died...at the hands of the Toyotomi clan...

——No...maybe...before I can be killed by Toyotomi...I will be killed by the "undead poison" in my body first...

From just now, Ogata has been feeling very sleepy for some reason.

The two eyelids were extremely heavy, too heavy to open their eyes.

After experiencing this series of changes tonight, Ogata will not be surprised no matter what special changes have occurred in his body.

"Miss Isshiki... I'll... I'll try my best... to find a way out... You take the opportunity to escape..."

"I beg you...don't be stubborn...you still...have a chance to live..."

Snapped! Snapped!

Before Ogata could finish his words, his words were interrupted by two rounds of applause.

Xu Fang turned his head and looked suspiciously - Isshiki closed his eyes, folded his hands, and made a homage to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of him.

Before Ogata could ask "why", Isshiki opened his eyes and smiled at Ogata.

"I have always believed in Buddhism."

"Every day, I earnestly recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha."

The corner of Isshiki's mouth that was raised upwards slowly pulled down at this time.

The eye sockets also became red at a very fast speed.

Her voice... also began to tremble, turning into an intermittent cry.

"So, so, no, no need to be afraid...!"

"Buddha, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva... will definitely listen, listen to my wishes... Bless, bless you and my family..."

She was clearly facing Ogata, but what she said...it seemed like she was speaking to herself.

Isshiki's sobbing appearance and what she said just now made Ogata's expression startled.

When he was about to say something—

A fragrant wind rushed towards Ogata.

Ogata felt the touch of soft petals covering his lips.

"Master Yidaozhai...I like you."

Isshiki slowly separated her lips from Ogata's, and large tears rolled down from her eye sockets and down her cheeks.

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say this to you again in the future."

After speaking, Isshiki raised her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes vigorously. Then she pulled out the hammock from her waist, stood on one foot with her intact left leg, and then jumped on one foot to Ogata's body. In front of him, facing the direction of the bursts of "thunder", with a determined face, he set up the knife.

"etc……"

Looking at Isshiki's back standing in front of him, Ogata struggled and tried to stand up.

But suddenly, he suddenly felt that his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer!

The pain, dizziness, and drowsiness were so intense that Ogata felt that his head was about to split, and Ogata felt that his head was about to split into countless pieces.

It was like inserting a water tube into his ear and pouring all the seawater from the ocean into Ogata's brain through the water tube.

The heaviness of the eyelids also increased countless times in an instant.

He subconsciously wanted to lift his eyelids, but his weak "resistance" was instantly defeated without even holding on for a moment.

The eyelids... close uncontrollably.

The world in front of me... returned to a darkness that seemed like nothingness.

...

...

...

...

Am I... dead?

...

I was actually not killed by Toyotomi, but by the "undead poison"...

...

What a... absurd way to die...

...

Can't see anything...is this the world after death...

...

I can't feel the pain~www.readwn.com~I can't feel the dizziness...I feel much better at last.

...

Thinking about it carefully...my death...seems to be a relief...

...

Since the time of crossing, it is not injured, or on the way of injury...

...

Not to mention the bruises all over her body, she can't even live with A-Ding in her true colors, and she didn't let A-Ding live a good life, causing her to be displaced with me all the time...

...

I'm so sorry A-cho... I can't even let her live a peaceful life...

...

This kind of life that is always hurting and unable to show its true colors is finally... over...

...

everything is over……

...

it's over……

...

...

...

...

"Ok?"

Ogata blinked his eyes twice, and glanced around in astonishment.

The surrounding scenery is very familiar.

Familiar enough to recognize where this is at just a glance.

This is the dojo of Sakakihara Kenkan.

The dojo is not big or small, the knife rests and wooden knives neatly placed on the edge of the dojo, the few stains on the ceiling and floor that cannot be cleaned... Everything is the same as the Sakakihara sword in Ogata's memory. The halls are no different.

call! call! call!

Ogata heard the sound of a wooden sword swinging from behind him.

He turned his head and looked back.

Such a statement... may be strange, but Ogata did see himself.

Not seeing myself reflected in the mirror.

But he really saw another self, in the center of the dojo behind him, meticulously facing the air in front of him, practicing swinging the knife.
