...

"It's been a long time... without me...!"

Feeling the changes in his body at this moment, Ogata muttered softly in a volume that only he could hear clearly.

Kotaro, who flew upside down, slammed into a pillar 3 steps behind him.

After struggling to get up, Kotaro stared straight at Ogata in front of him with eyes that were still horrified.

"No self... Realm...?!"

"Be prepared, Kotaro."

Ogata slowly raised the Dashiten in his hand, and aimed the knife point straight at Kotaro.

"I am now... full of strength!"

In the chaotic battle just now, someone accidentally touched the candle for lighting, causing the flame to jump out of the candle and spread to the entire castle tower.

At this moment, the monstrous flames have engulfed the entire top floor of the Tianshou Pavilion.

The flames had climbed up the pillars to the ceiling.

With the sound of wood splitting, the burning wooden frame collapsed and fell heavily behind Ogata, sparking a spark.

Sparks pierced the skin, smoke irritated the eyes and nose, and the throat was burned.

Kotaro also slowly recovered from the horror at this time.

While getting up from the ground, he said to Ogata in a cold voice.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, it seems that you are not bluffing..."

"This castle tower won't last long. According to my estimation, it will collapse in about a quarter of an hour."

"Ah." Ogata said softly, "You are right, whether to be buried in the sea of ​​fire, or to be reborn from the ashes, the decision is made in this quarter of an hour!"

"I'd like to see if your 'Non-Self Realm' wins..." Kotaro clenched his scythe tightly with a sullen face, "My 'Yasha Realm' is stronger!"

Ogata stepped on his hind foot first,

Attacked Kotaro in front of him like an arrow from the string!

The final decisive battle between "The Executioner Ichitosai" Ogata Yishi and the "Four Heavenly Kings of Shiranui" Kotaro was staged in the castle tower of Nijo Castle, which has become a sea of ​​flames!

Ogata's twin swords and Kotaro's katana collided dozens of times in mid-air at a blindingly fast speed.

Ogata, who has entered the "Non-Self Realm", possesses a powerful combat power that can confront Kotaro who has entered the "Yasha Realm".

Ogata felt that the blood in his veins was ignited, from the top of his head to his knees, his whole body was warm, as if it would rise up like water vapor at any time.

I just don't know if it was affected by the surrounding fire, or because of the fierce battle with Kotaro.

Ogata tried his best with every move and style.

The same is true for Kotaro. After realizing that Ogata should not be underestimated at this time, he also put away all his contempt, tightened every nerve in his body, and went all out to face Ogata.

As if agreed in advance, Ogata and Kotaro suffered from minor or severe injuries alternately.

The wounds all over his body protested to Ogata one after another.

Ogata exhaled hot air from his nose, burning his chapped lips, and the roots of his teeth were bearing the willful squeezing force of his masseter muscles for no reason.

Jumping flames.

Heat blowing from all directions.

The sour creak of wood.

This is the battlefield where the two are now.

The flames devoured the wood, and a large number of sparks and scorched wind were blown to the faces of Ogata and Kotaro.

The two who had put their whole body and mind into the death fight had ignored the flames around them.

Dashi Tianchao made a straight thrust forward, successfully broke through Kotaro's defense, and stabbed Kotaro in the right chest.

Then he swiped to the right, cutting the clothes and flesh on Kotaro's right chest to pieces.

After a while, Kotaro launched an equally sharp counterattack against Ogata.

The blade of the sickle hooked Ogata's left thigh from top to bottom, tearing out a piece of flesh in one breath.

Facing the unbearable pain for ordinary people, neither of them even blinked their eyes.

There are only the crackling of sparks, the groaning of wood, the sliding of two feet, the collision of blades, and the sound of flesh being cut, but no one listens.

Without any warning, Kotaro jumped back a few steps, and then threw the hammer at the bottom of the sickle in his hand towards Ogata.

Snapped!

The hammer struck where Ogata had been standing.

There was no longer a place on the ground where he could stand normally, so the hammer only hit one corpse, splashing a stream of blood mist.

Ogata, who escaped with stepping steps, felt the light in front of him dim before he had time to catch his breath—while Kotaro was attacking Ogata with a hammer, he quickly stepped forward, bringing the distance between himself and Ogata closer distance between.

clang! clang!

Kotaro swung his sword twice.

After using the sword counter to break Kotaro's two attacks, Ogata retreated a few steps to increase the distance between himself and Kotaro.

However, as soon as the distance with Kotaro was opened, Kotaro's attack came again.

Kotaro swung the hammer again at Ogata.

Ogata subconsciously raised the Daziza in his hand, and blocked the hammer thrown by Kotaro.

clang!

However - Kotaro's attack was somewhat different from the one just now.

Looking at Ogata, who stood erect with great ease, Kotaro's face showed a smug expression.

The trajectory of Kotaro's hammer flight is very different from just now.

When Ogata realized this, it was too late to take back Da Zizai.

The hammer flying with a special trajectory circled around Ogata's Daziza, and immediately wrapped itself around Ogata's Daziza like a poisonous snake.

After successfully entangled Ogata's Da Zizai with the chain, Kotaro clenched the chain tightly with his left hand, and then pulled Ogata towards him with a knife.

Ogata will not just let Kotaro control his sword and people obediently like this.

After a cold snort, Ogata directly let go of his left hand, resolutely giving up the great freedom in his hand.

After snatching Daziza from Ogata's hands, Kotaro was shocked and threw the snatched Daziza away.

Da Zizai drew a straight line and inserted it straight into the wooden pillar some distance away from Ogata.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Kotaro let out a wild laugh.

"Didn't expect me to have this trick!"

"Now your wakizasa has been taken away by me! There is no way to use the double sword style anymore! Let's see how you can fight against me!"

Whirring whirring……

Kotaro laughed wildly while frantically turning the sickle in his hand.

The strong wind brought up by Kotaro turning the chain became louder and louder.

Even though he was a few steps away from Kotarou, Ogata could feel the wind blowing on his face from the chains turning.

Ogata ignored Kotaro's taunt just now.

He just silently lowered his left arm and made a small movement quietly.

Ogata turned his left arm slightly, so that his left hand was facing away from Qiyuan.

Due to the problem of the angle of view, Kotaro couldn't see the scene behind the back of Ogata's left hand.

Ogata put the five fingers of his left hand together and slightly bent towards the palm.

Let your left palm become a "container" that can hold things.

A... "container" for the blood that flowed from the various wounds on his left arm.

After finishing this small movement, Ogata raised his head and glanced at the ceiling above his head.

The ceiling was already filled with flames, and there was a constant, unsettling creaking of wood.

This castle tower... can't last too long.

After silently confirming the current situation of the castle tower and estimating how long the castle tower can last, Ogata turned his gaze back to Kotaro in front of him.

At this moment, Ogata's left hand was already full of blood.

Ogata's left arm had many wounds, and there was no need to worry about the fact that there was no blood flowing down the arm.

The blood dripping from Ogata's left arm continuously filled the temporary "container" made by Ogata's left palm after only a few breaths of time.

The reason why Kotaro was turning the sickle just now was to accumulate power and power for the sickle.

"Go to hell! Yi Dao Zhai!"

Kotaro, who had accumulated the power and power of the chain in his left hand, threw the chain in his hand again towards Ogata.

With just one glance, Ogata recognized it—it was the trick that took away his freedom just now.

Having already suffered from that move just now, Ogata has already remembered this move.

The reason why Kotaro used this trick again was probably to take Ogata's Dashiten away, or to force Ogata to retreat.

But Ogata didn't dodge or hide.

Instead, Da Shitian raised his right hand straight up, allowing Kotaro's chain to hit his sword, and tightly entangle the blade of his sword.

"Ichitosai! Haven't you learned your lesson yet?!" Kotaro shouted with a smirk, while clenching the chain tightly, pulling Ogata towards him, "Do you think ordinary parry can stop me chains?!"

Ogata ignored Kotaro's arrogant shout.

Instead, he clenched the handle of the knife tightly, not letting Da Shitian let go, and allowing Kotaro to pull him over with the knife.

Kotaro raised the sickle in his right hand, ready to slash Ogata who was pulled over by him.

And Ogata just narrowed his eyes slightly, counting the distance between him and Kotaro.

When he was only about 3 steps away from Kotaro, Ogata's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and a sharp cold light burst out from them.

Taking advantage of the forward momentum of being pulled by Kotaro, Ogata took advantage of the momentum and poured the blood full of left palm towards Kotaro's cheek... To be precise, it splashed towards Kotaro's eyes.

Scarlet blood blindfolded.

Kotaro only felt that his eyes were burning, and he couldn't see anything because his eyes were covered with blood.

The sudden disappearance of vision made Kotaro panic instantly.

The sickle on the right hand that was about to cut forward, and the chain on the left hand that was holding Ogata's Shitian tightly, all stopped.

Before Kotaro could even scream, Ogata's pursuit came.

Sliding his feet, Ogata lunged forward and swung his knife towards Kotaro's abdomen!

Although he temporarily lost his eyesight, it has to be said - "Yasha Realm" is still quite strong.

Even though he couldn't see his eyes, Kotaro still relied on his hearing to judge the distance between Ogata and himself, as well as the position of Ogata's sword, based on the sound of the breaking wind and Ogata's footsteps, and then jumped to the side with all his might.

Because Kotaro's dodge was timely, Ogata's slash only left a gash in Kotaro's abdomen that was neither too shallow nor too deep.

"You bastard!"

Kotaro had wiped off the blood on his face at this time, barely regaining his eyesight.

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Kotaro rushed towards Ogata in front of him, holding up the sickle in his hand.

Looking at Kotaro rushing towards him, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.

After Ogata entered his attack range, Kotaro slammed down the sickle in his hand!

Looking at the oncoming sickle, Ogata's eyes widened suddenly.

Then—

Ogata took out Kasumi from his arms with his left hand.

Raise the muzzle, aim, shoot, all in one go.

There are 4 bullets in Kasumagi.

2 rounds were used to deal with Shirataro just now.

1 round was used to deal with Blade Taro.

1 round left in the chamber.

And Ogata used this shot now!

Where Ogata was aiming... was Kotaro's sickle that was coming towards him!

The projectile hit the blade of the sickle precisely.

Because of being shot, the downward-splitting sickle paused slightly!

And this slight pause is a huge flaw!

Ogata stuffed Kasumi back into his arms.

While retracting Kasumagi, while aiming at Kotaro's left armpit, he slashed at Kotaro's abdomen with Dashi Tenchao showing his flaws!

The cold light reflected from the blade flickered and swelled in the blink of an eye, and then—the cold light gathered on Kotaro's abdomen in one breath.

When passing by Kotaro, Ogata cut the Dashiten on his right hand firmly into Kotaro's left abdomen.

From the blade to the tip, it crossed Kotaro's abdomen, and then the whole person passed through Kotaro's Ogata, and ran to the distance of 2 steps behind Kotaro in one breath.

Ogata's knife cut open half of Kotaro's abdomen.

Kotaro struggled, as if trying to stand still.

But no matter how hard Kotaro tried, he couldn't stop his body from falling heavily to the ground.

"The trick just now was 'reverse gun'."

Ogata slowly lowered Dashiten in his right hand, and said to Kotaro who had fallen behind him without even turning his head.

"It's a trick I came up with temporarily."

"It is an exquisite trick that can only be used after entering the 'Selfless Realm'."

"You are honored, you are the first to see this move."

"Let's go to Huangquan with an honored mood."

Ogata imitated Kotaro's tone of mocking him just now, and said to Kotaro.
