Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 245: The enemy general has been captured by me! (Part 2)
Sarai was very strong. Even though his blade had not yet hit Ogata's face, Ogata had already heard the sharp sound of the blade cutting through the air and felt the wind pressure created by the blade on his cheek.
It didn't come to the point where he had to take the sword. Ogata staggered his feet, used a step to avoid Sarai's slash, and at the same time dodged to Sarai's left side.
Ogata first used the tower climbing technique, and made a vertical slash towards Sarai's chest from bottom to top.
After completing the vertical slash on Zorai's chest and the blade was slashed above Zorai, he turned the knife in his hand, changed the blade that was originally rushing upwards to rushing downwards, and then aimed at the same position and used Water Fall!
Mamiya and Sarai's subordinates who were watching the battle on the side only saw the sword in Ogata's hand turn into a silver-white blade light, flashing twice in front of Sarai's chest first from bottom to top and then from top to bottom, creating sparks.
However, Ogata's two consecutive attacks did not cause much damage to Sarai.
After all, Sarai was wearing thick armor, and Ogata's two swords only succeeded in cutting two white marks on Sarai's breastplate.
Not only did it fail to cause any injuries to Sarai, but the knife in Ogata's hand actually had two more notches.
However, Ogata didn't care about this. He didn't expect that he could cause any effective damage to Sarai who was wearing iron armor with the broken sword in his hand.
Zuo Lai, who was stabbed twice in the chest, looked annoyed.
If he had not been wearing armor with good protective properties, he would have been killed by Ogata's two sword strikes in this round of back-and-forth competition.
With a roar and after adjusting his stance, Sarai swung the knife in his hand and slashed horizontally towards Ogata.
But this time, Ogata did not use a step to dodge.
Instead, he chose to take Zoray's attack head-on.
Sarai's sword slashed from left to right towards Ogata.
Without any fear, Ogata raised the katana in his hand to his left side and blocked Sarai's sword with the blade.
Sparks flashed, and a large gap appeared on the edges of both Ogata and Sarai's swords .
After the two swords collided, they quickly separated.
After taking a step back and slightly increasing the distance between himself and Ogata, Sarai lowered his body and lowered his center of gravity. At the same time, he turned the knife in his hand, flattened the blade, and pointed the tip at Ogata. He then made a sharp straight stab towards Ogata's chest.
Looking at the knife tip that was rapidly enlarging in his field of vision, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.
He keenly discovered that: because Zuo Lai's straight stab was made after lowering the center of gravity of his body, therefore - Zuo Lai's knife was now at a very low height!
He took a wrong step and turned his body to the side.
While moving to the left to avoid Sarai's stab, Ogata aimed at the position of Sarai's knife and raised his right foot high!
Bang!
With a small muffled sound, Ogata's right foot stepped on the tip of Sarai's katana, which he had thrust forward but had not yet had time to retract.
The right foot stepped heavily on the ground with the tip of the knife, causing a small muffled sound.
After stepping on the tip of the sword with his right foot, Ogata immediately raised his left foot and stepped on the blade of Sarai's sword.
Ogata's current state is that he is standing on Sarai's sword.
The reason why Ogata stood on Sarai's sword was not to perform any juggling tricks.
But it was to make it easier to take Zuo Lai's head.
After stepping on Sarai's sword, Sarai's face is now within arm's reach of Ogata.
Without any hesitation, Ogata quickly clenched the katana in his hand and pointed the tip of the blade at Sarai's face...
However - before Ogata could use their Sakakibara Ittoryu's stabbing technique, Bird Stab, Sarai suddenly let out a roar.
Feeling the danger coming, Zuo Lai, driven by the desire to survive, suddenly burst out a powerful force in his body. After this force was infused into his arms, Zuo Lai roared and raised the clenched knife upwards!
Ogata, who was stepping on the blade of Sarai's sword, suddenly felt his footing become unstable.
Ogata, who had never expected that Sarai could suddenly burst out with such strong power, made a prompt decision - he gave up attacking Sarai, jumped back suddenly, jumped away from the back of the knife that could no longer stand steadily, jumped back to the ground, and put some distance between himself and Sarai again.
"Hahaha……"
Zuo Lai panted, clenched the knife in his hand again, and got into a stance.
Compared to Sarai who was already gasping for breath, Ogata still looked at ease.
After looking at Sarai in front of him with a calm gaze that made it difficult to guess what he was thinking, Ogata slowly put the sword in his hand back into the sheath.
Then spread your legs, lower your body center of gravity, lean slightly to the left, hold the scabbard opening with your left hand, and place your right hand naturally on the hilt.
Looking at Ogata's posture, Mamiya, who had been standing not far behind Ogata, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of strong interest appeared on his face.
As for Zuo Lai, he now had a solemn expression on his face. Looking at Ogata who had taken such a stance, Zuo Lai said in a deep voice:
"Sword drawing technique..."
"Are you interested in learning the sword-drawing technique from Ittosai?" Ogata asked Sarai in a half-joking tone.
"……good!"
Zuo Lai slowly raised the knife in his hand and switched to an upper stance.
"I want to see the power of the sword-drawing technique of Ittosai, the executioner who has killed countless people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarai shouted and rushed towards Ogata!
After Ogata had entered his attack range, Sarai swung his arms downwards suddenly, and the knife in his hand immediately turned into a silver-white whip of light and swung towards Ogata.
Ever since Sarai rushed towards him, Obaya narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Sarai's every move.
When Zuo Lai chopped down his sword, Ogata's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, suddenly widened! Rays of light burst out from his pupils.
The right hand holds the hilt tightly and the sword is drawn out of the sheath - these two actions occur almost simultaneously.
Ogata pulled out the knife from the sheath and swept it from bottom to top towards the "light whip" swung by Sarai!
clang!!
There was a deafening sound of metal colliding.
The two swords collided heavily in mid-air.
Looking at Ogata's sword-drawing technique, Mamiya, who was standing behind Ogata, muttered:
“It’s Raikiri… Ogata-kun, have you mastered Muga’s two-sword style Raikiri…”
The confrontation did not last long.
The next moment when the two swords collided in mid-air, the outcome was decided - Zuo Lai's sword was directly bounced away.
Because the knife bounced away, Zuo Lai leaned back with the knife in his hand, looking shocked.
Zuo Lai's center gate is now wide open, revealing all his flaws!
Naturally, Ogata would not miss this great opportunity to decide the outcome.
