On Mount Fuji, the goose feather-like snowflakes were exceptionally beautiful. Coupled with the mountains of white, red, and pink cherry blossoms, they dazzled the eyes of countless tourists from all over the world.
However, most of the people did not stop at the foot of Mount Fuji, or halfway up the mountain. All of them walked toward the peak of Mount Fuji – the Sword Peak.
Many visitors who had just arrived noticed that. One of them immediately went up to ask, “Friend, why are all of you walking toward the snow peak? Could it be that the scenery there is more beautiful?”
The person who was asked first looked at him. After seeing that he was just an ordinary person, he did not look down on him at all. Instead, he explained patiently, “There will be a deadly battle between the two world giants on the Sword Peak today. We are all there to admire the glory of the two peerless powerhouses.”
“Fight to death? Peerless powerhouses?”
The person who asked the question was confused. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he realized that the person whom he spoke to had already caught up with the person in front. He gritted his teeth and decided to follow as well. He mumbled to himself that he wanted to see some exceptional powerhouses.
Countless situations like this happened, and in the end, it created a scene – there was a long, dark line from the foot of Mount Fuji to the Sword Peak.
Luo Yao was wearing a thin purple dress. She reached out to catch a falling cherry blossom and said with a smile, “The cherry blossoms are even prettier today.”
“If you like it, stay for a few more days, or buy a phone to take some pictures as a souvenir,” Tang Jianfeng shook his head.
He had thought that his words would satisfy Luo Yao, but who would have thought she would glare at him and almost poke his head with her slender and soft eyes, “Idiot, no wonder you’re single until now.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
Tang Jianfeng was speechless.
‘I didn’t provoke her, did I? Why did she suddenly turn on me?
Ha, woman!’
Luo Yao smacked her lips and said, “I realized that you really don’t understand how girls think at all. When a girl says that her stomach hurts, straight men would usually ask them to drink more brown sugar water, while warm men silently boil the brown sugar that they bought and deliver it personally.”
At this point, she said disdainfully, “You’re a straight man!”
Tang Jianfeng stopped talking.
This lady did not realize that his face was getting grimmer. She continued, “I just said that the cherry blossoms today are beautiful. You should’ve said – I’ll buy Mount Fuji for you.”
“Do you want me to buy you a few more horses and sheep so that you can live a carefree life?” Tang Jianfeng chuckled.
“Get lost!”
Luo Yao turned hostile once again. She angrily left him alone and walked to the front. As she walked, she said, “I hate this mountain. When this battle is over, remember to cut down all the cherry blossom trees!”
“What a fickle-minded woman!” Tang Jianfeng was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and went to her immediately.
When they arrived at the Sword Peak, they realized that the snow-covered land was filled with people. When they wanted to move forward, they were stopped by many people in uniforms. There was even a cordon.
The Japanese official responsible for managing the scene said, “Everyone, the final battle is up ahead. For everyone’s safety, you cannot enter!”
Everyone could only sigh and feel disappointed. However, they could not help but look into the distance as their pupils constricted.
A white-robed figure stood on an ice peak. Even though his clothes were very thin, he remained unmoving against the wind and snow as if he had turned into a thousand-year-old ice sculpture.
“Is he the Japanese Sword Saint, Yagyu Aida?”
“He doesn’t look like much!”
Many ordinary people were talking at the same time. When the powerhouses heard that, many of them sneered. When they looked at the white-clothed figure again, their eyes were filled with respect.
“As expected of the last Sword Saint of Japan, he managed to be one with the snowy mountain. He is the strongest in such a place!”
Some powerhouses from the Western countries frowned and communicated with each other, “Did you guys notice that Yagyu Aida seems to have become more powerful?!”
“Although there’s no aura on his body at all, my intuition tells me that he has indeed become more powerful. I once saw him 50 years ago. At that time, he was like a sharp sword that no one dared to look at directly. But now, he’s like a blunt sword that has lost all its edge!”
“Amazing, amazing!”
Countless gazes looked towards the white-clothed figure. There were various emotions in their eyes.
Someone looked around and asked, “Speaking of which, why isn’t Mad Southern Ye here yet?”
“Indeed, he hasn’t arrived yet. Could it be that he’s afraid of the battle?”
“If it were me, I would be scared too. After all, his opponent is the only Sword Saint in Japan. Furthermore, Yagyu Aida was a hundred years old. After he hid his sword 50 years ago, no one knew how powerful he had gotten!”
As they were talking, they saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face holding onto a person with one hand quickly leaping to the battlefield.
“It’s Yagyu Shinyo, the younger brother of Yagyu Shingen!”
“It is said that this person is ranked first in the Yagyu family. Even the family head, Yagyu Shingen, is no match for him. If not for his passion for cultivation, I’m afraid the family head would not have been Yagyu Shingen!”
“That’s not all. Based on what I know, this person is one of the only four Sword Dao masters in Japan. He’s said to be the most likely person to become a Sword Saint.”
Faced with the crowd’s discussion and shock, Yagyu Shinyo looked at the person in his hand and shouted coldly, “Kneel!”
The person in his hand stood straight and said, “Japan doesn’t deserve my kneel!”
If Ye Chen was next to him, he would have realized that the man was the Form-Intention Fist Grandmaster Chen Liu whom he had met once before. He was Chen Xue’s father.
Bang!
Yagyu Shinyo grinned coldly. He raised his hand and slashed out a sword aura, severing the tendons on Chen Liu’s legs. Chen Liu groaned and knelt on the cold, bone-chilling ground. His eyes were filled with humiliation.
“Chen Liu, I’ll give you a chance now. As long as you call Mad Southern Ye trash in public, I, Yagyu Shinyo, will spare your life!” Yagyu Shinyo looked down at him from above.
Chen Liu laughed out loud, “If Mr. Ye is trash, then you guys are maggots bred from trash. You’re only fit to hide in a dark corner and do some shady business!”
Yagyu Shinyo’s expression turned cold. He cut off the tendons in Chen Li’s hands and said with a plastic smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you for the time being because I want you to see your undefeatable legend in China being killed by my father!”
Luo Yao, who was at the back of the group secretly nodded when he saw Chen Liu still laughing while lying on the ground, “That man has a strong character!”
“Should we save him?” Tang Jianfeng asked.
“No need!”
“He’s only suffering from skin wounds. If he can last until the end, I don’t mind giving my family’s Snow Spirit Pill to reconstruct his meridians!”
Luo Yao shook her head slightly. Instead, she looked at Tang Jianfeng and asked with interest, “You fought Yagyu Aida earlier. Do you think Mad Southern Ye is his match?”
“It’s hard to say!”
Tang Jianfeng said in a deep voice, “You and I have never met Mad Southern Ye, nor have we fought him before. Therefore, it’s hard to deduce. However, Mad Southern Ye killed Yinshi, the Korea No. 1. His ability might be on par with Yagyu Aida in the past!”
He paused for a moment and could not help but look at the white robe in the distance. He then said, “However, Yagyu Aida gained enlightenment after he was defeated by me. His ability must’ve improved by a lot. In that case, Mad Southern Ye’s chance of winning is only 30% at most!”
Luo Yao nodded secretly.
At Yagyu Aida’s level, it was very difficult to increase one’s strength. However, once it increased, it would be a tremendous change.
“If Mad Southern Ye isn’t a match for Yagyu Aida, I’ll be the only one to fight!”
Tang Jianfeng pursed his lips, “China is not to be defeated!”
“Hey, why isn’t that guy here yet?”
Luo Yao looked around with her beautiful eyes wide open as she tried to look for Ye Chen. She then mumbled, “Don’t tell me this guy is really scared of fighting? If that’s the case, I’ll kill him!”
Just as she finished speaking, a voice that was mixed with the howling of the wind and snow came from below the Sword Peak, “Yagyu Aida, I’m here to kill you!!!”
