When he first faced Ogata, Kazujun could clearly recognize that Ogata and the man with the long weapon did not have much experience in fighting the enemy.

Whether it's parrying the attack of a long weapon or dodging the attack of a long weapon, it's very jerky.

However, as the battle continued, it became more and more evident to Ichikata that Ogata was progressing at a breakneck pace.

Whether it's the way he parries his slashes, or the timing of his attacks, Ogata becomes more and more adept.

Ogata was able to get closer to Ichijun's body more often.

From not being able to even get close at the beginning, to being able to rush in front of Yichun frequently, and launch several attacks on Yichun that were enough to injure him - such a speed of progress made Yichun feel scared.

Kazune had a terrible idea for no reason: if he continued to fight like this, if he continued to fight like this, if he let Ogata get used to fighting with people with long weapons, and if Ogata couldn't get in like this, maybe the battle situation would slowly turn into Ogata's upper hand......

Ichichun, who has been occupied by this thought, no longer dares to have any contempt for Ogata.,Use all your tricks.,Swap offense and defense with Ogata.。

After repeated struggles, the two gradually fought from a spacious room on the third floor to a narrow corridor outside.

In this kind of narrow corridor, using the move of opening and closing is to find death.

Therefore, after stepping into this narrow corridor, Yichun quickly changed his tactics.

Kazujun put away his tanagi and used it as a spear, unleashing a continuous, non-stop stab at Ogata.

Taking a deep breath, Ogata stared at Kazujun's movements in front of him, using a step to dodge Kazujun's stabbing blows one by one.

Not only the slash, but also the power of a pure stabbing is also huge.

Ogata, who didn't dare to be careless, didn't even blink his eyes, and couldn't help but slow down his breathing.

While dodging each of Kazujun's stabs, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, looking for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The position of each stab is different, some are higher, some are lower.

At one point, Ogata's eyes suddenly glowed with a chilling light.

Because—this stabbing attack of a pure new launch, the position is very low.

In terms of height, it is probably only level with Ogata's waist.

Finally, when the time came for a counterattack, Ogata raised his right foot without hesitation and stepped on the blade of the naginata that Ichijun had just stabbed and had not had time to retract.

Ogata didn't just step on the opponent's weapon like he had just done against Zorai.

Instead, after stepping on the shangi bar with his right foot, he exerts force with his right foot, uses the shangi bar as a pedal, and jumps towards Yichun in one breath.

Ichimazu, who didn't expect Ogata to jump over with his naginata as a springboard, looked horrified, and hurriedly stepped back, trying to dodge Ogata's sudden attack.

Laugh at!

Even though Ichichun's reaction was fast enough, the speed of retreat was fast enough.

However, because the distance between the two was not far away, Ogata jumped directly at him too fast, and even though he had retreated, Ogata's blade still slashed at him.

The "snort" of the blade cutting through the flesh sounded.

The blade of Ogata's knife cut a cut in Kazujun's chest.

It's a pity - because Ichisun took a step back in time, only the part of the tip of the knife was cut to Ichsum.

The wound left on Ichisejun's chest was still too shallow, although he successfully cut the flesh of Ichisejun's chest, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound on his chest, but it did not cause much damage to Ichishun.

After taking a few steps back, a distance long enough to give himself a sense of security, Kazujun dared to glance down at his own wound that was bubbling with blood.

Looking at this wound on his chest, Yijun's face instantly darkened.

Although the wound to his chest was not fatal, the impact it had on Ichin was extremely huge.

Because it means that Ogata can already hurt him......

Thinking of Ogata's terrifying rate of progress, Han's hair began to stand uncontrollably from all over Kazuma's body.

"If there's a seed, come with me!"

Knowing that it would be difficult to maximize the power of his big naginata in such a narrow corridor, Ichijun yelled like this while slamming open the paper sliding door of the next room and rushed into the next room.

For Ichsum's act of forcibly changing the arena to a venue that was beneficial to him, Ogata was not even afraid, and without any hesitation, he followed Ichsumi and rushed into this room.

The space in this room was not small, just enough for Yichun to exert the full power of the large naginata knife in his hand.

On the other hand, this large space is also very conducive to Ogata's dodging.

After taking Ichsumi's "spinning top", Ogata deliberately avoided any collision between his knife and Ichsumi's managi blade.

Under Ogata's deliberate protection, the two knives in Ogata's hand, which had long been covered with gaps, have managed to maintain their shape until now.

As soon as the two of them rushed into this room, almost everything in this room that could be broken was shattered in a few breaths.

Either Ogata accidentally shattered it when dodging Ichsum's attack - such as a screen placed in the corner of the room.

Either they were directly smashed by the big naginata knife in his hand with a wide open and closed - such as the small table by the window and the vase on this small table.

The battlefield between the two of them unknowingly switched to the next room.

The room they were in was connected to the room next door, separated only by a thin paper sliding door.

Whether it's Ogata or Ichika, all of them have tensed every nerve in their bodies at this time.

Even the frequency of each other's breathing and blinking eyes has been unconsciously lowered.

The two, who had already done their best, stared at each other at this time.

Both of them had the same thought in their minds at this time - kill this guy in front of them!

However, after smashing through the paper sliding door separating the two rooms and dodging into the next room, a strange sound that was quite incompatible with the solemn atmosphere around the two of them suddenly came to their ears.

And this strange voice both attracted the attention of Ogata and Ichsum, causing the tension on both of them to be interrupted at the same time.

The two of them followed the sound and turned their gaze, and finally realized what was making this strange sound.

"Kids?" Ogata couldn't help but exclaim.

The voice that had attracted the attention of Ogata and Kazujun just now was a low sob.

The person who made this sobbing sound was a child hiding in the corner of the room with a quilt that he had found out of nowhere, with only half of his face exposed.

From the half of the child's face that emerged from the quilt, it was not difficult to see that it was a little girl, about 7 or 8 years old.

As soon as Ogata and Ichsumi entered the room, the little girl watched them with horror.

Even though she was holding back, she couldn't help but let out low, fearful sobs.

Looking at the little girl hiding in the corner of the room, Ogata immediately deduced what had happened.

Probably because of Yichun's sudden attack on the 3rd floor, causing panic among the villagers hiding on the 3rd floor, the little girl was confused by the villagers who suddenly panicked, and did not escape from the 3rd floor with the villagers in time.

By the time he reacted to leave here, Amachi had already exchanged hands with Ichichsum.

The clanging sound of fighting outside the room frightened the little girl from going out, so she simply hid in the room.

Ogata didn't know if his reasoning was correct, but Ogata felt that if it wasn't entirely correct, it shouldn't be too far.

After seeing the little girl, Kazujun, like Ogata, was stunned first.

But the look of astonishment only lingered on Yijun's body for a moment.

After a few moments, a hideous smile appeared on Ichimazu's face.

"It's a child...... I like kids the most. ”

"The feel of a blade on a child is the best."

"I'm just in a bad mood right now, give me my anger!"

With that, Yichun violently swung the big naginata knife in his hand and slashed at the little girl!

There was a little distance between Ichsumi and the little girl.

But this distance is nothing to Yichun, who has a long arm and still holds a large naginata.

With a wave of his arm, he could easily slash this little girl.

Kazujun wasn't worried that Ogata on the other side would attack the little girl while he was attacking him.

He had already estimated the distance between him and Ogata, and the distance between him and the little girl—Ogata's would not have had time.

Even if Ogata attacks the little girl while he's attacking him, he can definitely kill the little girl before Ogata's knife hits him, and then calmly retract the knife to fend off Ogata's attack.

The sharp blade of the knife sliced through the air and came straight to her head - such a scene that would make adults weak when they saw it, let alone a little girl who was only 7 or 8 years old.

The little girl screamed in fright, and tightened the thin quilt draped over her.

It was as if this quilt was the safest fortress, and there was no danger if you hid in it.

With Yichun's ability, he only needed half a breath to stab this little girl in half.

And yet—before half a breath had been taken, a loud bang exploded.

As Ichijun swung his knife at the little girl, Ogata moved around the same time.

Ogata, like Ichsumi - also saw that it was useless for him to attack Ichichine now, because of the distance, Ichsumi would definitely be able to kill the little girl before his knife could cut him, and then continue to fight him.

So Ogata's goal was not on Ichiga from beginning to end.

Ogata's target was in front of the little girl.

After stopping between Ichijun and the little girl as fast as he could, Ogata raised the twin knives in his hand and headed towards Ichijun's oncoming Naginata.

And this loud bang just now was also the sound of Ogata using his twin knives to unfold the blade and forcibly intercept a pure manatina.

Because of Ogata's block, Ichijun's big naginata was successfully opened.

But at the same time - Ogata also paid the price of forcibly stopping Ichijun's slash.

His most severely damaged blade was finally overwhelmed and severed in two.

However, Ogata has no expression at all about the unfortunate scrapped wakicha in his hand.

Without even frowning, he casually threw aside the only handle and the small half-cut blade.

This calm appearance seems to be broken not by his own knife, but by someone else's knife.

As if the rupture of Wakisha did not prevent him from fighting next.

After holding the only remaining knife with both hands, Ogata said without looking back at the little girl behind him who was looking at him with a mixture of stunned, curious, and other emotions:

"Little ghost, go out from here and turn left and you can see a staircase, quickly follow the stairs to the floor below."

The little girl had not yet recovered from the series of shocks just now, and after Ogata's words fell, she still looked stunned and did not act.

"Move fast!" Ogata yelled at the little girl behind him in an impatient tone, "If you don't do what I say, I'll cut you down!" ”

After being nakedly intimidated by Ogata like this, the little girl finally came back to her senses because of her fright.

Probably frightened by Ogata's words, the little girl tightened the quilt on her body and ran out of the room as she cried.

Iljun didn't go after the girl.

Instead, he looked at Ogata with a puzzled look.

"You're a strange man."

"Is that girl your relative? In order to save her, he did not hesitate to scrap his knife. ”

"Nope." Ogata casually responded, "That girl isn't my relative, and I don't know her at all. ”

Hearing Ogata's words, the puzzle on Ichikazu's face became a little thicker.

"I'm getting weird about you......"

"You, a guy with blood on your hands, are you going to save people?"

"You've killed countless people like me, haven't you ever experienced the thrill of killing?"

Speaking of this, every muscle on Ichisun's face tensed, and he smiled evilly.

"Bringing humanity ...... Especially when I killed those defenseless and powerless old and weak women and children, the feeling of being able to bully the weak was like a fine wine. ”

"As the same executioner who has killed countless people, have you never experienced this kind of pleasure?"

"Shut up." Ogata's tone was neither salty nor light, "Don't confuse me with you. ”

"I never felt that killing people was such a joyful thing."

"As you say, I have blood on my hands."

"I can't even remember how many people have died at my hands. How many families have been broken by me. ”

"When I slashed the dog thief in Matsudaira Gen with a thousand knives, I was endlessly pursued and killed by others, and the endless killing became my fate for the rest of my life."

"I am destined to kill people all the time in this life, and the blood on my hands is destined to increase."

"But—"

As he said this, Ogata's eyes gradually burst out with a determined look, and there seemed to be a fire burning in the pupils of his eyes.

"Even if killing people is a fate that I can't get rid of, I will never give up my compassion at any time."
