It was not until the series of system sounds in his mind died down that Ogata finally had the energy to listen to what everyone in the Ishikawa Sword Hall in front of him was roaring.
"Ogata Yisei! You are such a despicable villain! How dare you use such a despicable method to harm my senior brother!"
"Give me a life for a life!"
"You despicable fellow! You won in such a dirty way! Are you still a proper warrior?!"
…
In response to these accusations from the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall, Ogata's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.
"Despicable?"
Ogata said softly.
"Being mean and shameless is just an excuse for losers. As long as you can win, whatever you do is right."
Ogata's words were like adding fuel to the fire.
The crowd, who were already furious about Yuanshan's murder , drew their swords.
The moment after the people from Ishikawa Sword Hall drew their swords, the people from Sakakibara Sword Hall, led by Hanbei, also drew their swords.
"Everyone, get out of here!" Hanbei yelled at the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall.
"What are you all doing here!" Ishikawa Heima arrived late at this time, "Put your swords back now!"
Although Ishikawa Heima's words and tone were harsh.
But the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall were already angry and no longer listened to their master's words.
They clenched their swords tightly in their hands and glared fiercely at Ogata, who was protected by the people of Sakakibara Sword Hall, vowing to kill Ogata to avenge the murder of Toyama.
The masters and disciples of Sakakibara Sword School also vowed to protect Ogata.
Just as a big melee was about to break out——
"enough!"
A loud shout with full of energy suddenly rang out.
Under the influence of this powerful shout, the thick murderous aura that filled the arena dissipated for the most part, and everyone on the field turned their heads towards the sound.
The one who made this loud shout was naturally the family elder in the audience - Kuranaga.
At this time, Cang Yong stood up from his small stool and glanced at the people in the arena with a calm look.
"Put your knives back!"
"Are you planning on starting a melee right under my nose?"
"Everyone watched the entire battle just now."
"Every strike of Toyama-kun's sword is fatal, and every strike is aimed at taking Ogata-kun's life."
"If you fight with the intention of killing the opponent, you must also be prepared to be killed by him."
"Toyama-kun wanted to kill Ogata-kun, but because he was not good at swordsmanship, he was killed by Ogata-kun instead - this is reasonable and irrefutable."
As soon as Cangyong finished speaking, some nobles in the audience echoed:
"That's right. The elder is right."
"Both of them have taken out real swords to compete, so there will definitely be casualties."
"He was not good at swordsmanship, and was killed by his opponent. This is reasonable, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
…
Those who spoke out in agreement with Cang Yong did not necessarily agree with what Cang Yong had just said.
The reason why they agreed with Cangyong was purely to gain Cangyong's favor and get close to him.
Everyone at Ishikawa Sword Hall clearly heard that Kuranaga intended to protect Ogata, so they all looked anxious.
"Family elder!" one of the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall shouted, "This Ogata Issei won by such a despicable method! We really can't stand it!"
"Despicable?" As soon as the disciple finished speaking, Kuranaga sneered as if he had heard something funny. "What Ogata-kun said just now is right. Despicable and shameless is just an excuse for losers. As long as you can win, whatever you do is right."
"Must you defeat your opponent fairly? This rule only applies to practicing swordplay in the dojo! In a real fight to the death, who cares about morality and justice?!"
"Put your swords away! Today's competition is won by Ogata Yoshisei! No one is allowed to say anything else, and no one is allowed to make things difficult for Ogata-kun!"
Hearing Cangyong's powerful words, everyone present was shocked.
Be it the masters and disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall, the distinguished guests in the audience, or Hanbei, Mikami and others, all looked shocked at this moment.
Even Ogata's face showed shock at this moment, and the shock on Ogata's face was mixed with a little doubt.
As far as Ogata knew, today was just the first time he met Kuranaga.
He really couldn't understand - he had just met Cang Yong for the first time today and they hadn't even spoken a word, so why was Cang Yong so protective of him?
Although the people in Ishikawa Sword Hall were furious, after hearing Kuranaga's "suggestion" which was tantamount to a threat, their anger gradually subsided, and then they sheathed their swords with reluctance.
Seeing that everyone in Ishikawa Sword Hall had put their swords back into their sheaths, Hanbei also ordered Mikami and others to put away their swords.
After using a few words to stop a fight that was about to break out, Kuranaga turned his head and said to a servant beside him:
"Go and call Xuan'an for me, and have Xuan'an treat Ogata-kun."
"yes!"
…
…
"finished……"
Looking at the people from Ishikawa Sword Hall who had sheathed their swords in front of him, Ogata muttered something in a voice that only he could hear, then heaved a long sigh of relief.
After his tense nerves relaxed, Ogata felt fatigue surge towards him like a tide...
He took out the paper he carried with him and wiped off the blood, fat and other stains on the sword, then slowly put the sword back into its sheath.
"...Toyama Renjiro is dead ... The days ahead... should be a little more peaceful..."
"Ah... maybe the people from Ishikawa Sword School will take revenge on me later..."
"Forget it... Let's talk about this later..."
Ogata didn't notice.
When he relaxed his nerves and breathed a sigh of relief, Cang Yong, who was still standing in the audience, was silently watching him with an intriguing look...
