His right hand continued to hold the unbroken katana, and his left hand pressed the back of the katana, using both arms to push back the pressing large naginata.

Squeaky...

The two supermen, whose strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, firmly planted their feet on the bridge, exerting force on the corners, and the wooden bridge under their feet groaned in pain.

Ogata did not hold anything back and tried his best, but... Zuemon's naginata blade still pressed down little by little, gradually approaching Ogata's neck.

Squeaky...!

The groaning sound of the wooden bridge became louder.

The hole in Left and Right Gate's throat has been blocked with the cooperation of those red blood threads.

The repair of his throat also allowed Uemon to finally speak normally.

"The sneak attack I just made had a big impact on you." Zuemon said in a joking tone.

Ogata ignored Zuoemon's taunts and just gritted his teeth silently, trying hard to stop Zuoemon's naginata blade from approaching his neck.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Ogata had to agree that what Uemon just said was true. The severe pain in his abdomen made it difficult for Ogata to use almost 30% of his strength.

This bad influence made Ogata unable to compete with Zuemon in terms of strength.

Ogata could only watch as the huge naginata blade got closer and closer to his left neck.

"As expected of Shura..." Zuemon murmured, "Seeing death getting closer and closer to me, how can I still maintain such a calm expression..."

Although Uemon said this in an admiring tone, the movements of his hands showed no mercy.

Squeaky!

The groaning sound of the wooden bridge further increased.

The large naginata kept breaking through the obstruction of the sword attack, and its height reached from Ogata's head to... Ogata's right neck.

With Zuemon's full expectation, the blade of the naginata finally cut into the flesh of Ogata's right neck.

The skin of Ogata's right neck had been cut by the sharp naginata blade.

Ogata's current appearance was as if he was carrying Ichiemon's naginata on his right shoulder.

Left and right gate's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

He almost knew it!

He was still a little short of taking Ogata's life and successfully completing the mission entrusted to them by Toyotomi-sama.

This joy made Zuemon feel a little stronger in his body.

He did not hesitate to pour the extra strength in his body into his arms, in order to take away the lives of left and right gates as soon as possible.

Left and right gates looked ecstatic.

As for Ogata, he remained quite calm.

Even though he was no match for Zuemon's strength at this moment, even though Zuemon's sword had already cut into his right neck, and he was only one last step away from taking his life, Ogata still remained calm.

He did not give up the confrontation with Zuemon, and was still calmly thinking about ways to break the situation and counterattack.

The blade of the naginata has cut deeper and deeper.

More and more blood emerged from the growing wound on Ogata's right neck.

Go to hell quickly! Shura!

Zuemon shouted excitedly and excitedly in his heart.

But at this moment

Squeaky!!

Click, click, click!

The groan of the wooden bridge suddenly increased by an order of magnitude.

Immediately afterwards, a harsh crackling sound exploded.

The wooden bridge under Ogata and Zuemon's feet turned into pieces, large and small, like torn pieces of paper.

This simple wooden bridge had two large holes on the bridge deck after suffering two heavy blows from Zuemon just now. These two large holes caused serious damage to the structure of the bridge.

It is an unchanging theorem in martial arts that force rises from the ground.

In order to defeat the opponent in the wrestling, both Ogata and Left and Right Gate would firmly put their feet on the bridge and step on it.

In other words, the bridge, which was already crumbling due to structural damage, finally fell apart due to the overwhelming force after being further stamped on by Ogata and Zuemon.

The first place to break was Ogata's feet.

Ogata, who put all his body and mind into the struggle with Zuemon, and was already in poor physical condition, was not prepared for the changes at his feet.

"Eh?"

Ogata let out a dumb "huh" sound, and then fell into the turbulent flow below along with the fragments of the wooden bridge under his feet.

As he fell into the turbulent flow below, Ogata, who had not fully reacted, suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. As he fell into the turbulent flow, the back of Ogata's head accidentally knocked down the bridge pier below...

The bridge deck under Zuoemon's feet did not break immediately, so he reacted in time.

He quickly jumped back and jumped out of the bridge in one breath. He quickly glanced at the river, looking for Ogata's figure who fell into the river along with the fragments of the bridge.

Ogata, still holding the knife tightly in his hand, drifted rapidly downstream under the turbulent current.

Because the water flow was very fast, Ogata disappeared in the blink of an eye...

Saemon's current expression... looks like he's eaten shit.

He stared at the direction where Ogata was swept away, his face turning blue and white: "Damn... what's going on? It's just a little bit... It's obvious that I could have taken Shura's life...

!”

"Z, Zuoemon-sama..." The 10 shooters brought by Zuoemon gathered around with different expressions.

These 10 people now feel at a loss...

They all just saw it with their own eyes... Zuemon, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly started to struggle with Ogata in a lively manner.

This scene was so shocking that these 10 people now didn’t even know what to say to Iemon.

Finally, someone had the courage to ask Zuoemon:

"Samaemon-sama, the place where you were stabbed by Shura just now...are you okay?"

Those who stand out usually don't end well.

As soon as the brave shooter finished speaking, Zuemon shouted in a rude tone:

"If something happened to me, would I still be standing like this?!"

"Don't just stand here stupidly! Go outside and call all the people to chase Shura along the river! We must not let Shura have a chance to breathe!"

…

…

Why did I fall into the water again?!

Ogata felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with water tonight.

He had just climbed out of the river, but fell back into the river a short time later.

The river Ogata fell into this time was not the gentle canal he had just swam in, but an extremely fast stream.

The water is not only fast but also very deep.

Ogata put his feet down, but he couldn't find the bottom.

He tried to stabilize his body in the turbulent water, but failed. The reason was because of his dizzy head.

Just now, when he fell into the river along with the fragments of the wooden bridge, Ogata's head accidentally hit the bridge pier.

First, there was a burst of pain from the place where he was knocked. Then, with the place where he was knocked as the center, a feeling of dizziness spread to Ogata's entire brain.

Although I tried to resist, the dizziness became stronger and stronger.

The intense dizziness made Ogata feel that the power in his body was being continuously drained away.

Now is not...the time to sleep...

After using up his last bit of strength and murmuring like this in his heart, Ogata's remaining consciousness was finally shattered by the dizziness.

Unable to resist his physiological reaction, Ogata slowly closed his eyes uncontrollably.

The body floated straight downstream with the current.
