Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 101: More than 100 one-on-one matches (Part 1)
While moving his feet and rushing towards the more than 100 samurai, Ogata quickly switched his breathing to "Original Breathing".
After the system sound in his mind reminded him to increase his reflexes by 1, Ogata pounced on the samurai who was rushing in front.
The samurai had never expected that Ogata would actually fly over to him. He was so surprised that he stopped in his tracks.
Although he subconsciously raised the sword in his hand, his slightly poor swordsmanship level was not enough to block Ogata's sword.
A cold light flashed from top to bottom, splitting the warrior's head.
Ogata did not look at what happened to the samurai's head. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he retracted his sword, adjusted its direction, and then used the dragon's tail to strike a samurai on the right.
"go to hell!"
A powerful shout came from the left.
A samurai assumed an upper stance and rushed towards Ogata from his left side with an unstoppable momentum, determined to smash Ogata's head.
However – he did not succeed in chopping Ogata’s head off.
After glancing at the samurai, Ogata raised the wakizashi in his left hand.
clang!
The moment he blocked the samurai's downward blow, Ogata swung the katana in his right hand and launched a counterattack.
In a flash, Xu Fang had successfully killed three people.
But the remaining enemies still pounced on Ogata like mad dogs seeing meat.
After killing three people in a row, Ogata did not stand still to fight the remaining enemies.
Instead, he quickly took a step forward and retreated to his left.
As he retreated, Ogata reminded himself in his heart:
——It’s not one against one hundred, but one hundred one against one …
When practicing sword with Ichiro and others, after so many one-on-many exercises, Ogata summed up a valuable one-on-many secret.
That is: when it is one against many, you have to run.
Keep running, and drive your enemies to run with you, disrupting the enemy's formation and creating one-on-one opportunities, turning a one-on-many battle into multiple one-on-ones.
This is why, when Ogata was practicing swordplay with Ichiro and others, he had no problem fighting one against four, but would lose most of the time when fighting one against five or six - the dojo was too small, and there was not enough space for Ogata to create many one-on-one opportunities.
"stop!"
"Don't run! You coward!"
"Is all you can do about it?!"
…
Ogata ignored the barrage of insults coming from behind him.
He just kept running forward, while keeping an eye on the movements on his sides and behind him.
"Come and die!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from in front of Ogata.
The famous samurai had somehow circled in front of Ogata.
"No leaks! Suzuki..."
The warrior, who was in mid-stance, wanted to introduce himself.
However, before he could finish his words, a cold light swept directly to his side, bringing out a pool of blood.
Ogata didn't have the time to listen to the samurai introduce himself.
Using the potential energy generated while running, he cut a large gash in the warrior's abdomen, then passed through the warrior's side and continued running forward.
…
…
"My Lord."
Nanabahara said to Matsudaira Gennai.
"Please leave here for a while."
At this time, only Nanahara and the three young men who were still alive were left by Matsudaira Gennai's side.
The rest of the guards rushed forward and surrounded Ogata.
Although Nanahara didn't think they would lose given their absolute numerical advantage, to be on the safe side, Nanahara still wanted Matsudaira Gennai to leave here temporarily and seek refuge.
But Matsudaira Gennai did not take Nanahara's words seriously.
At this time, Matsudaira Gennai was looking at Ogata, who was fighting with hundreds of his guards, with excitement on his face.
"Leave? I don't want to leave!"
"This is a rare good show, I must watch it to the end!"
Qi originally wanted to say something else.
But in the end, the words that had been pent up in Qiyuan's throat turned into a sigh and came out from Qiyuan's mouth and nose.
Nanahara has followed Matsudaira Gennai for many years, and he may know Matsudaira Gennai's temper better than Matsudaira Gennai's father.
Once the playful Matsudaira Gennai starts playing, it is impossible to persuade him to stop.
Nanahara gave up the idea of persuading Matsudaira Gennai to leave. He silently clenched the knife in his hand. While being alert to the surroundings, he also watched the fatal fight with Matsudaira Gennai where the number of opponents was very different not far away.
…
…
Ogata noticed out of the corner of his eye that a samurai behind him was running too fast and had lost touch with the rest of his companions.
So Ogata suddenly stopped his feet, stopped abruptly and turned around.
He pointed the tip of the katana in his hand at the samurai's chest.
Just by looking at the panicked look on the samurai's face, it was clear that he did not expect Ogata to suddenly stop and point the tip of the knife at him.
He quickly put strength into his feet, trying to stop his body from rushing towards Ogata's knife.
At the speed at which the samurai stopped, there should have been no problem for him to stop his body before colliding with the tip of Ogata's sword - but the premise was that Ogata stood still, waiting for the samurai to hit him.
After visually estimating the distance between himself and the samurai and determining that the distance was sufficient, Ogata took a step in the direction of the samurai who was still stopping suddenly, and then stabbed the samurai's chest with his katana.
Nearly half of the blade penetrated directly into the warrior's chest.
Ogata did not draw his sword.
Instead, he loosened the handle of the sword and at the same time loosened the wakizashi in his left hand.
Then he took away the katana in the samurai's right hand and the wakizashi inserted in his waist.
The two swords that Ogata just used were the two precious swords given to him by Kuranaga.
And these two swords are worthy of the name of precious swords. After chopping so many people in a row, there are only a few cuts on the swords.
However - even if the blades of the two precious swords were not damaged, Ogata had to discard them.
Because these two knives were covered with too much blood and fat.
The blade is covered with greasy fat, and its sharpness and feel have been greatly reduced.
Fortunately, there are many replaceable swords here, so even if he abandons his sword, Ogata will not have to worry about having no sword to use.
Ogata grabbed the sword very quickly.
However, even so, there was still a samurai who saw the opportunity when Ogata tried to grab the sword and swung his sword towards Ogata's side.
Ogata did not defend against this slash—because there was no need to expend any effort in defending.
The blade hit Ogata's side accurately, but no blood flowed, only a few sparks.
Feeling the pain that was about to make his palms numb, the warrior's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "It's chain mail!"
As soon as the samurai finished his exclamation, his head was chopped in half by Ogata, who had just seized two new swords.
