Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 256: Great Buddha and Great Freedom
The word "Shi Tian" is engraved on the knife blade.
The word "freedom" is engraved on the guard of the wakizashi's sword.
Looking at the words engraved on the blades of the two swords, Ogata immediately understood what these two swords were and where Ating got them from.
——Is this... the sword that Sokai's teacher Jinghai made using their Tianxiang Sect's sword-making method...
Ogata lowered his eyes and looked carefully at the Daishikuten in his hand.
The blade is a willow-leaf-shaped arc, and it is made in one go. Whether it is the smoothness of the blade or the tension of the slightly narrow blade at the front end, it is impeccable. The edge of the blade emits a clear blue light.
The wavy blade pattern exudes a dignified aura. The blade has a dense wood grain texture, and the silver sand-like boiling point pattern is also clearly visible.
The Daishakuten is slightly longer than the ordinary katana.
The blade length of most common katana is between 60cm and 70cm.
It is quite rare to find a katana with a blade length exceeding 70cm.
The blade of the Daishakuten in Ogata's hand was about 75cm long, according to Ogata's estimation.
Not only is the Daishakuten longer than ordinary katana, but the Daijizai currently hanging around Ogata's waist is also longer than the common wakizashi.
Although it has not been unsheathed, according to naked eye estimation, the blade length of the Da Zi Zai should be around 55cm.
Although he has not had the chance to use these two swords against the enemy and does not know the quality of these two swords, Ogata is very satisfied with the appearance and length of these two swords.
Although Ogata's height cannot be compared with those freaks like Makimura and Ichijun who grew up eating unknown things, he is still very tall compared with most people of this era.
Therefore, Daishakuten and Daijizai, which are longer than ordinary swords, are suitable for use by Ogata, who is taller than most people.
——Chikanosuke, let me borrow your sword.
After muttering this silently in his heart, Ogata raised the Daishikuten in his hand and pointed the tip of the knife, which was shining with a clear and cold light, at Yichun, whose face was now as black as a piece of charcoal.
"Demon monk, let's continue!"
"This battle is almost over."
After saying that, Ogata raised his left hand and pulled out the wakizashi that was inserted into his left waist in one breath.
Daijizai is the same as Daishiten - the blade has a large curvature and a wavy blade pattern.
"...Arrogant bastard!" Yichun said in a deep voice, "It's just that you have two new swords! Do you think that with two new swords, you can defeat me in one go?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ichijun raised his large naginata to his upper right side - the starting position of "Gyro".
In order not to cause trouble to Ogata who was in a fierce battle, Atachi had quietly retreated to a safe area where he would definitely not be implicated.
Facing Yichun who had already arranged the "spinning top" in the starting posture, Xu did not change his expression, but just silently raised the Dashitian and Dashizai in his hands slowly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared straight at Yichun in front of him, not wanting to miss any of Yichun's next moves.
“Go to hell!”
As Yichun shouted loudly, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, enough to make one's scalp tingle, exploded.
Yichun spun his feet like a giant spinning top.
The feet drive the waist, the waist drives the right arm, and the right arm drives the large naginata in the hand.
While turning his body and large naginata, he moved towards Ogata like a tornado.
In just a breath of time, Yichun arrived in front of Ogata.
Ogata just silently looked at Yichun who was approaching him with great momentum. He didn't dodge or evade, but just swung the two swords in his hands and rushed towards Yichun!
clang!
Ogata took Ichijun's first blow effortlessly.
After Ogata took over the first blow, Yichun immediately took over, turned his body, swung the large naginata in a circle, and then slashed at Ogata with the second blow, which was much more powerful and faster than the first one.
clang!
After Ogata blocked Ichijun's sword for the second time, both Ogata and Ichijun looked at Daishikuten and Daishizai in Ogata's hands, as if they had agreed beforehand.
The blades of both knives—intact.
After taking one or two powerful horizontal slashes from Chun, which caused sparks to fly, the blade was still intact, as if it had never been used.
Looking at the intact Daishikōten and Daishizài, if Ogata's expression was one of surprise mixed with astonishment, then Ichijun's expression was one of shock mixed with fear.
As his expression became heavy, he clenched his teeth even tighter, squeezing out all the strength in his body, and pouring all his strength into his right arm and the large naginata.
The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife...
Although the power of his slashes was higher and higher due to Isshun's relaying of strength, Ogata was able to take Isshun's first six strikes without batting an eyelid.
But starting from the 7th knife, Ogata's expression began to gradually become serious.
clang!!
It was also from the seventh knife that the sound of metal hitting metal reached a level that was almost deafening.
After taking the ninth blow, Ogata began to feel numbness and pain in his arms.
But Ogata still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Starting from the 9th blow, every time he received a blow, Ogata would step back several steps without being able to recognize it.
The 10th knife, the 11th knife...
After Ogata took the 11th blow, a look of panic began to creep onto Isshun's face.
Others may not know it, but Ichijun knows it very well - Ogata is the first person who can take so many blows from his "Beyblade".
Before Ogata, the highest record for the person who had taken the most hits from his "Gyro" was only 9.
Although the fact that Ogata was able to take on so many of his attacks was directly related to the fact that Yichun himself had suffered a lot of injuries and was in poor condition, Ogata on the opposite side was also not in the best condition at this time.
What made Yichun panic was not only Ogata's strength, but also the two new swords in Ogata's hands.
Yichun was only paying attention to the status of the two swords in Ogata's hands.
The reason why so many people were unable to take on every blow of his "Gyroscope" before was largely because the weapons in their hands were not good enough and were directly chopped off by Yichun, resulting in the destruction of the sword and the death of the person.
However, the two swords in Ogata's hands were still intact after taking 11 hits from his "Gyro", without even a crack on the blade.
This made Yichun feel shocked, and he groaned in pain in his heart - what kind of knives are these two knives? !
However, in addition to the look of panic, there was also a look of joy on Yichun's face.
It was because Yichun saw that Ogata was about to be unable to withstand his attack.
After taking his 11th blow head-on, Ogata took two steps back before he could barely steady himself.
At the same time, Ichijun also noticed that Ogata's breathing began to become disordered and his arms were trembling slightly.
These signs on Ogata's body made it difficult for Yichun to hide the excitement in his chest.
He can currently only perform 13 consecutive kills.
After 13 consecutive kills, Yichun will have to stop because he can no longer control the force that he has used for more than ten times.
Although there were only two swords left, Ogata's current lack of strength still gave Ichijun enough confidence.
He could definitely cut Ogata in half with these last two strikes - Ichijun was so convinced.
After spinning the large naginata that was blocked for the 11th time in mid-air, Ichijun launched the 12th slash at Ogata.
clang!!
Ogata arranged Daishakuten and Daijizai into an "X" shape and blocked Ichijun's sword for the 12th time.
“Hmm…”
A low cry of pain escaped from between Ogata's clenched teeth.
Even though his feet were firmly planted on the ground, Ogata was still forced to take several steps back to mitigate the impact due to the huge force transmitted from the large naginata.
Ogata's posture became unstable due to his continuous retreat.
Looking at Ogata's retreat, which was larger than any previous one, the expression on Isshun's face became hideous and terrifying due to ecstasy.
——You almost couldn’t hold back the 12th blow! Let’s see how you can hold back the 13th blow!
While thinking this in his mind, Yijun took a deep breath and transformed the rebound force that was blocked by Ogata into his own strength. Yijun swung the last and strongest 13th sword of "Gyro" towards Ogata.
This time, the naginata that was heading towards Ogata created such a strong wind pressure and power that it brought with it that Atachi, who was hiding in a safe place watching the battle, felt his hair stand on end and his skin covered with goose bumps.
However—— Ogata faced Ichijun's attack head-on without any unnecessary emotions on his face.
It seemed as if he didn't take Yichun's strongest attack seriously at all.
It would not be right to say that there was no unnecessary expression on Ogata's face.
The slightly upturned corners of his mouth added a hint of smile to his cheeks.
It was a smile with a relaxed look.
Because - Yichun didn't realize what was going to happen next, didn't realize that Ogata had already figured out a way to defend against his strongest attack.
Ogata did not block Ichijun's attack as he did before, but instead raised the two swords in his hands to block it.
Instead, he turned the Great Shitian upside down and inserted it into the wooden floor under his feet. Then he stepped on the blade of the knife that was already stuck upside down in the wooden floor with his right foot, lowered his body, and hid his entire body behind the blade.
Ogata's special posture made Yichun's pupils widen.
After Ogata showed this posture, he instantly understood what Ogata was planning to do.
However - it was too late.
His knife had already been swung out and it was impossible to retract it.
clang!!
The sound of metal hitting each other was loud.
Isshun's large naginata collided heavily with Ogata's great Shakuten that was stuck upside down on the ground.
This time, Ogata did not retreat a single step.
By inserting Daishakuten upside down into the ground, Ogata was actually turning the ground beneath his feet into his weapon.
With the help of the hard ground, Ogata also stepped his right foot on the back of Daishikatsu's sword, which was equivalent to putting all the weight of his whole body on the sword, strengthening his defensive power.
This was the defensive method that Ogata came up with on the spur of the moment when he took on Jun's 11th blow.
Judging from the current actual combat situation, the results are remarkable.
With this stance, Ogata successfully blocked Ichijun's strongest attack and blocked all of Beyblade's slashes.
Although this defensive posture is very tiring, Ogata felt that his right foot, which was supporting the back of the knife, was numb.
Yichun's mouth was wide open in shock.
Before he could recover from his shock, Ogata had already launched his counterattack.
Quickly pulling up the Daishiten stuck upside down on the ground, Ogata rushed towards Ichijun like an arrow shot from a bow.
This was the counterattack opportunity that Ogata had been waiting for. He took Ichijun's 13 consecutive kills just to get this moment!
The reason why Ogata chose to take Ichijun's "Spinning Top" head-on was because it was difficult to dodge the "Spinning Top" by just stepping forward.
Another reason, which is also the main reason, is that after Yichun uses the "spinning top", his body will have a big flaw because he has not yet recovered from the continuous rotation.
Previously, after seeing Yichun use the "Beyblade" to kill 8 times in a row, Obe noticed this.
After using the "Gyro" for 8 consecutive kills, Yichun staggered for 2 steps before he could steady himself.
An ordinary person might not notice this detail, but Ogata was keenly aware of it and noticed Kazujun's huge weakness.
Therefore, after receiving the Daishakuten and Daijizai sent by Atachi, Ogata chose to take on Isshun's complete version of "Gyro" - just to get Isshun's flaw.
And Ogata's judgment was not wrong - after Ichijun completed his 13 consecutive slashes, his huge body staggered and shook because he had not yet recovered from the previous continuous slashes, revealing a huge flaw!
Without any unnecessary reservation, Ogata poured all his strength into his feet and ran to Ichijun at his fastest speed.
He ran to...a direction where his knife could stab Yichun!
Yichun, who had not yet had time to adjust his body and his condition, had a look of despair in his eyes.
laugh !
Ogata stabbed both Daishakuten and Daishizai in his hands into Ichijun's chest.
The blades of the two swords pierced into Yichun's chest and came out from his back.
"Wow!"
Yichun spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
He turned the two swords in his hands, freeing the muscles that had clenched the blades due to severe pain, and then Ogata suddenly pulled the two swords out of Ichijun's body, bringing out a splash of blood.
After Ogata pulled out the knife, Yichun fell to the ground as if he couldn't bear the pain.
After pulling out the two swords, Ogata did not stop attacking, but raised the two swords high again, intending to finish off Ichijun in front of him.
However - at this moment, something strange happened.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
Ichijun suddenly let out a roar. Perhaps it was the desire to survive that was taking over. A powerful force suddenly burst out of his body. He suddenly stood up, swung the large naginata in his hand, and launched an extremely sharp downward attack on Ogata.
Ogata's pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his left hand's Da Zi Zai to block Yichun's slashing knife.
clang!
“Hahahaha…” Yichun laughed grimly with blood in his mouth, “Come with me… to hell together!”
Although Ogata blocked Ichijun's downward attack, it was quite difficult.
With one foot half-kneeling on the ground, Isshun's large naginata was almost pressing against Ogata's neck, and it looked as if Ogata was holding the blade of the large naginata on his shoulder.
If Ogata had not used Great Freedom to defend himself in time, he would have been beheaded.
"You are such an idiot..." Although his voice was already weak due to his injuries, Yichun still mocked Ogata, "If you had used two swords to block just now, you might have been able to perfectly block my attack."
"There's nothing I can do." As soon as Yichun finished speaking, Xu Fang smiled slightly, "After all - I have to keep one hand to kill you."
Hearing Ogata's words, Ichijun's pupils shrank suddenly.
It was not until this moment that he realized that Ogata had already put Daishikatsu into the scabbard on his left waist at some point and placed his right hand on the hilt of Daishikatsu.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Yichun's face was filled with panic, "Please, please spare my life..."
Before Yichun could finish his words, a cold light burst out from Dashitian's scabbard.
The cold light swept from Yichun's right abdomen to his left shoulder!
As Yichun, who had turned into a bloody man, slowly fell to the ground, Ogata softly recited the move that he had just used to deal a fatal blow to Yichun.
"Muga Nito-ryu... Raikiri...!"
