Because Ogata has already known about the existence of the hidden weapon, there is no longer any value in using the hidden weapon.

Therefore, Nanahara completely gave up the secret weapon, intending to defeat Ogata head-on with his swordsmanship.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of gold and iron striking each other kept exploding.

After using the "blade counter" again to block Nanahara's attack, Ogata keenly sensed that Nanahara's tactics had changed.

Previously, Nanahara had only used Ito Ichito's flow in a decent manner.

And now, Nanahara's tactics have suddenly become much more radical.

It was as if every blow poured all the strength of the whole body.

It is precisely because of Nanahara's fierce attack that Ogata has to pour his body and mind into every defense, and he does not dare to have any slack.

- I see......

Ogata said in his heart.

- How smart...... Knowing that my current physical strength and strength have been depleted, I specially changed my tactics and used this kind of wide-open and closing move to suppress me......

Although Ogata has currently entered the "selfless realm", after killing hundreds of people in a row, even with the blessing of the "selfless realm", Ogata's physical strength still has a lot of loss.

Qiyuan's sudden change in tactics made it clear that he wanted to use his strengths to attack the current shortcomings of the Oji.

Clang!

Their knives slammed into each other again.

However, this time, the knives of the two did not immediately separate.

The two knives are held together, and the owners of the two knives are angled against each other.

And in this wrestling, it was Nanahara who gradually gained the upper hand.

Ogata, who was originally standing on both feet, was suppressed little by little by Nanahara, and his hind legs gradually bent, and finally he had to squat on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Nanahara smiled hideously through the knives of the two, "Don't you have any strength anymore?" ”

Ogata ignored Nanahara's taunt.

It's just that through the knives of the two, they cast a mocking glance at Nanahara.

"I'm just preparing to kill you in one go."

After that, Su Cheng, who was originally half-squatting on the ground, holding Qiyuan's knife and bearing the huge force of Qiyuan's pressure, suddenly flashed his body to the left, and even flashed to the left side of Qiyuan with a knife, and pulled out of this wrestling.

Nanahara, who didn't expect Ogata to suddenly dodge, didn't retract in time,

The body falls forward by inertia.

Before Nanahara could readjust his body, Ogata's pursuit came!

The distance between the two is extremely close, and they don't need to move their feet, and with a casual swing of the knife, Ogata can slash Nanahara.

Sakakiwara Ichi-ryu Ascend the Tower!

Ogata's sword swept towards Nanahara from the bottom up like a waterfall against the current.

Clang!

Qiyuan, who hadn't even adjusted the posture of his body, reacted instinctively, and subconsciously blocked the sword in his hand towards this bottom-up sword light.

The deafening sound of gold and iron clashing exploded.

Although Nanahara barely managed to block Ogata's "ascending the stairs", his knife broke.

Because Ogata's attack came so quickly, Nanahara could only barely block with his sword, and he didn't have time to adjust the best defensive posture and direction.

And so there was a scene where there was only time to block with the knife face.

Is the knife surface the most vulnerable part of the knife? Once the knife face is attacked? The knife is extremely easy to break.

Nanahara, who only had time to block with his blade, managed to block Ogata's attack? But the knife in his hand is also broken? Only about half of the blade remained.

Although the "ascending stairs" was blocked, Ogata was not discouraged and frustrated? Nor do any lingering or respite.

Instead, a second line of attack was immediately launched.

Ogata turned the blade that was lifted upwards from the bottom to the top.

From the original blade rushing up, it has become the blade rushing down.

And then—

Sakakiwara Knife Flow: Water Falls!

A waterfall that used to flow backwards? It has become a wild waterfall with a positive flow!

- No! It's too late!

Looking at the blade that was slashing at his head? Nanahara's only judgment was that he didn't have time to raise his sword to block right now.

Under the influence of a strong desire to survive, Nanahara gritted his teeth.

Raise your left hand and use the palm of your left hand to grab Ogatata's knife!

Sneer——!

The sound of a knife blade entering the flesh sounded.

Ogata's blade cut through Nanahara's left palm, and then slashed into Nanahara's left armpit in one go? The power on Ogata's blade was finally negated.

Seven original to pay the price of the entire left arm being cut in half? Blocked Ogata's note.

The blade was cut from the palm of his left hand all the way to his armpit, and his entire arm was cut in half—you can imagine how painful it was.

Nanahara almost fainted in pain.

Biting the tip of his tongue with his teeth, almost breaking the tip of his tongue, Nanahara finally barely managed to stay awake.

He didn't even have time to scream.

Because Ogata's 3rd attack is coming!

After seeing that his "water fall" was blocked by Nanahara at the cost of paying a left arm, a trace of impatience and chagrin also appeared on Ogata's face.

But these negative emotions of his did not affect him much.

Pull the knife out of Nanahara, the knife that has been cut in half? It takes some time and effort.

So—Ogata simply gave up the knife.

He quickly let go of the knife in his hand, and then- pulled out the wakicha around Nanahara's waist.

Poor out of the sheath? The blade of the blade shines in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling cold light.

Exalted the coercion? Ogata once again used their Sakakiwara knife to fall!

Clang!

After his left arm was cut in half by Ogata, under the influence of this severe pain? Nanahara only felt dizzy.

Only by feeling? Lift up the knife in his right hand, which is only half cut off.

Maybe it's really luck, right? Nanahara's sword, which he raised with his senses, successfully held off Ogata's water fall.

However, his defense was only a slight delay in the time of his death......

With his left arm cut in half, Nanahara was left with only one right arm to parry Ogata's attack.

Just now, Nanahara, who has sound arms, is only enough to be on an equal footing with Ogata, who also has both arms and has entered the "selfless realm".

At present, he only has one arm left, and there is no reason for him to parry Ogata's downward slash and parry Ogata's strength.

Moreover, the constant sharp pain from the severed arm of the left arm also made Nanahara unable to concentrate, and the strength that should have been exerted could not be fully released.

Nanahara's attacking knife that held Ogata sank little by little......

Ogata gritted his teeth and transmitted the strength of his whole body to his right arm, pressing Nanahara's knife and pressing it towards Nanahara's neck little by little.

"Ogata Esei!"

Looking at Ogata's blade, which was getting closer and closer to his neck, Nanahara said urgently.

"You have to think clearly! Do you know if you kill me? What are the consequences of killing the Lord Guild?! ”

"There's no way the shogunate can let a lord killer like you live!"

"What's more, the person you killed is still a pro-domain daimyo!"

"The Edo shogunate will surely use all the power of Japan to hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
