Nanabahara's loud shout made Ogata come back to his senses from his memories.

Qi Yuan did not respond vocally.

He just glanced at the hundreds of samurai in front of him, then raised the sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Matsudaira Gennai and Nanabahara.

"Ogata Yoshi!"

Qi Yuan's face suddenly turned red.

"You are such a treasonous person! As a subject of Hirose Domain, as a samurai, you actually want to assassinate your lord!"

"I kindly gave you a chance, but you still don't appreciate it!"

"Do you still have the sense of shame as a warrior?!"

After hearing the word "samurai" from Nanabahara's mouth, Ogata couldn't help but recall his conversation with Kuranaga last night.

(When the world is falling apart, a few men have to stand up. If you succumb to the darkness and don't dedicate yourself to helping the righteousness, you will be a man in vain!)

The words Kurunaga said to him last night were still in Ogata's ears.

"Today," Ogata said in a calm tone, "I did not come here as a samurai."

"Today, I stand before you as a man."

The reason why Ogata agreed to wield the sword to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai was mainly for revenge.

But what Kuronaga said to him yesterday still touched Ogata greatly.

Ogata slowly raised his left arm, placed it on the handle of the wakizashi sword on his left waist, and then pulled it out suddenly.

After assuming the starting position of the Wu-I Two-Sword Style, Nanabahara exclaimed:

"Ogata Issei! You can actually use the two-sword style?!"

"When did you have the illusion that I only know Sakakibara Itto-style swordsmanship?"

Even though there were hundreds of warriors blocking him in front of him, Ogata had no intention of surrendering or retreating.

"I must take off Matsudaira Gennai's dog head today. Let's see who has the guts to come and stop me!"

The cold murderous intention emerged from Ogata's body, boiling.

Many of the hundreds of guards in Matsudaira Gennai were frightened by Ogata's momentum and took half a step or even several steps back.

"snort."

A look of impatience already appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

"Stubborn! If you use an extra knife, can your strength be doubled?!

"Samurai of Hirose!" Nanabahara shouted loudly, "cut this treasonous man into pieces!"

Following Nanahara's order, the hundreds of guards in Matsudaira Gennai, whether they felt fearless or intimidated, all raised their swords in their hands, shouting, and came towards Ogata.

Facing the hundreds of samurai who were coming towards him, Ogata didn't show any timidity or fear on his face.
