Ogata and Kitaro happened to be in a very remote place.

There are no houses around, only trees. Apart from Ogata, Guao, and Jitaro, there is no fourth person here.

Ogata was very satisfied with this environment where there were no other people around.

In this way, he can also let go of his hands and feet.

"Why..." Ji Tairou endured the pain in his abdomen and stood up slowly, "Renzhan Yishi... will be here...!"

Shiranui has always wanted revenge, and he especially hates those who make their missions unable to proceed smoothly, or directly cause their missions to fail.

When dealing with such people, Shiranui has always adhered to the concept of "retaliating with force".

Guasheng's parents and brother died tragically because of this.

Ogata's attack on Nijo Castle in Kyoto more than three months ago, Shiranui Ri's first major mission from the shogunate, ended in a tragic failure, which directly caused Shiranui Ri's status in the hearts of most of the shogunate to plummet.

.

The "anti-Shiranui forces" in the shogunate grew stronger all at once.

Killing someone's job is like killing one's parents. This principle holds true at all times and in all countries.

What Ogata did in Kyoto was tantamount to directly destroying Shiranui's job.

Enma hated Ogata deeply. After learning that it was Ogata Ittosai who caused their mission to protect Nijo Castle to fail, Enma directly found a large number of Ogata's wanted notices, spread them throughout Shiranui, and demanded that everyone in the village

Ninjas all remember this face.

He also issued a very high bounty to Ogata. The ninja who discovers clues about Ogata's whereabouts will be rewarded 5 taels. The ninja who takes Ogata's head will be rewarded 500 taels. The ninja who captures Ogata alive will be rewarded 1,000 taels.

Because the number of task commissions that can be received has been decreasing year by year, Shiranui's finances have not been very optimistic in recent years.

Not to mention 1,000 taels, just 500 taels, for the current Shiranui, it is not a number that can be given without even frowning.

Enma is willing to pay so much money to put a bounty on Ogata's head, which shows that Enma's hatred for Ogata is really extraordinary.

Just looking for clues about Ogata's whereabouts, most people in the village, including Gokutaro, did not take the bounty on Ogata's head to heart.

Although the bounty is very tempting, everyone also knows that there is no life to get the money.

Nijo Castle is defended by more than 20 ninjas headed by Kotaro, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Among the more than twenty ninjas, they were all jounin and chuunin, not a single ninja.

A team with such amazing combat power was still completely wiped out by Ogata Ittosai.

As the "Four Heavenly Kings" who usually have a lot of contact with each other, Gokutaro knows that Kotaro's strength is among his equals.

Although Ji Tairou is usually arrogant, he is not a fool.

Kotaro was defeated by Ogata even with so many helpers. Kotaro would not be arrogant enough to think that he could kill or capture Ogata Ittosai alive and get the reward when fighting alone or with few helpers.

gold.

An unknown person with an ordinary appearance suddenly turned into the world-famous executioner Ittousai. No words can describe Jitaro's current mood.

"Why am I here...Well..." Ogata said softly, "Maybe it's because someone has been making a sincere wish."

After saying that, Ogata dwarfed and lowered his body's center of gravity.

The whole person once again turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Ji Taro.

Although there was still residual pain in his abdomen, Gokutaro couldn't care less about it now.

He gritted his teeth, clenched the two swords in his hands, and faced Ogata's slashing attack.

clang!

Gokutaro used his two swords to hold Ogata's Daishiten and Daizizai respectively.

After the slashing attack was blocked, Ogata repeated his old trick and bent his left leg, using his knee to hit Gokutaro in the stomach.

He had just suffered a loss from this move, so Ji Tairou was already prepared.

Seeing Ogata using this move again, Gokutaro let out a cold "hum", then he bent his right leg and blocked Ogata's left knee with his right knee.

However, as soon as he bent his right leg, Oconi made a change.

Ogata lowered his already bent left leg at a speed that was faster than that of Gokutaro, then stretched out his right foot and hooked Gokutaro's leg with a special technique.

Looking at Ogata's action, Jitaro's pupils shrank suddenly.

He quickly stepped back, avoiding Ogata's sweeping leg, and said loudly with a shocked face:

"Why do you know our Shiranui-ryu jujutsu?!"

With just one glance, Jitaro recognized that what Ogata had just used was the jujutsu technique in their Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu.

And judging from the strength, speed, and skills, his attainments in Shiranui-ryu jujitsu are not low!

"Sorry, I don't want to waste too much time explaining it to you slowly."

The jujitsu attack just now did not work. Without showing any trace of frustration or regret, Ogata rearranged his stance and rushed towards Gokutaro.

…

…

Is this the transfer of "grandmaster level"...

Compared with that time in Kyoto, Ogata's biggest change is that he can freely enter the "selfless realm" and be promoted to the "master level".

Now, after entering the "selfless realm", the circulation can be directly increased to the "grandmaster level".

This is the first time Ogata has used the "Grandmaster Level" transfer.

The first feeling that brought to Ogata was:

The gap between "master level" and "grandmaster level" is much larger than the gap between "advanced" and "master level"!

Using the "Grand Master" flow, the West feels as if the knife in his hand is connected to his body.

You can use the sword in your hand to follow your will, block Kitaro's attack with the least movement, and launch a counterattack against Kitaro.

Gokutaro is now completely suppressed by Ogata, which is proof that the "grandmaster level" transfer is much stronger than the "master level" transfer.

According to Ogata's estimation, Gokutaro's strength is on par with that of Kotaro.

Ogata was able to fight on a par with Kotaro before.

And now Ogata, who was much stronger than he was in Kyoto, directly suppressed Gokutaro.

…

…

clang!

clang!

clang!

…

The sound of sharp blades clashing sounded at a rhythmic frequency.

After once again using Dai Zizai to block Gokutaro's stabbing sword, Ogata used Daishiten to inflict a new wound on Gokutaro's body.

This is the seventh wound that Ogata has inflicted on Gokutaro.

Although Jitarō also succeeded in counterattacking and inflicted some injuries on Ogata, the injuries he inflicted on Ogata were all insignificant injuries.

What Ji Tairou is most proud of is his speed.

His most common fighting method is to rely on his body's agility to launch a quick attack on the enemy.

However, facing Ogata, Gokutaro's proud speed had no effect at all.

Ogata's speed was even faster than him.

His strength and stamina are far above him.

After receiving, dodging, and enduring so many attacks from Ogata, Gokutaro's breathing began to quicken.

On the other hand, Ogata only breathed slightly faster.

The horror on Ji Tairou's face became more intense.

Now...I have taken "Yaksha Pills"!

Ji Tairou shouted in his heart with great confusion.

This is not the first time he has taken "Yaksha Pills".

In the past, as long as he took the "Yaksha Pill", his opponents who were inseparable from him would be quickly suppressed by him.

And now, after taking the "Yaksha Pill", Ogata was still being pressed down and beaten. This made Gokutaro feel like his view of the world had collapsed.

Impossible! Impossible!

Unwilling to accept this reality, Gokutaro straightened the swords in both hands and stabbed Ogata like a bull's horn.

This is a killing move that Ji Tairou is very proud of.
