The three injured ninjas quickly moved aside, and Kameda Taro upstairs had already emerged, standing on the second floor watching the two men, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
Boom!
The momentum of the two men clashed to an apex and suddenly exploded outward, sweeping in all directions like waves, destroying everything around them, with spider-web-like cracks appearing on the ground and walls.
Clangâ
A streak of cold light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a sharp and piercing sound of a swordâs hum rang out.
The sword in Myokaku Shikenâs hand finally left its sheath, and in an instant, the entire air seemed to be filled with a terrible and fierce sword aura.
In the next second, a dazzling, blinding sword light flashed in front of Ye Luo, causing him to involuntarily blink, as the sword light, like a meteor from the heavens, descended upon Ye Luo as if to completely destroy him with a single strike.
This strike was terrifying, domineering, and fierce, aggregating all of Myokaku Shikenâs spirit, energy, and soul, representing his strongest strength.
The essence of the Beichen Ittoryu is that if the sword is not drawn, then remain passive; but once drawn, it must draw blood!
At this moment, Ye Luo was covered in chills, his muscles unconsciously tensed, and a strong sense of danger surged forth.
Ye Luo simply closed his eyes and activated his Clairvoyant Eye, and the power contained within the five supreme meridians within his body erupted instantly, pouring into the Lingyun Sword.
At this time, the Lingyun Sword radiated a strong spirituality, emitting an unrivaled sharpness.
Under this immense danger, Ye Luo unleashed the greatest power of the Lingyun Sword, far surpassing that of an ordinary Superior grade Spiritual Artifact.
Boomâ
Ye Luo swung his sword, likewise concentrating all his bodyâs strength into the Lingyun Sword.
The Lingyun Swordâs yellow light shone brightly, colliding with the dazzling sword light, like the sun and moon clashing, and the energy released was unimaginable.
The blinding light lit up the entire headquarters of the Tagawa Society, making it impossible to see the figures of the two men.
Gushes of vigorous energy waves were released, wreaking havoc upon the Tagawa Societyâs headquarters, giving it the appearance of being on the verge of collapse.
When the light faded, and the energy dissipated, the figures of Ye Luo and Myokaku Shiken emerged.
Blood stained the corners of both menâs mouths, and as they locked eyes, sparks flew.
Spurt!
Myokaku Shiken spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembled, and his long sword, which had accompanied him for many years, was covered in countless cracks, which immediately broke into numerous fragments and fell to the ground.
Similarly, Ye Luoâs face was pale, he tasted salt in his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body swayed slightly, with the Lingyun Sword, still radiating light, planted in the ground.
"You won!"
Myokaku Shiken said to Ye Luo, his expression calm.
"No, I only won in terms of the weapon," Ye Luo replied.
"Regardless, youâve bested me, you can go now," Myokaku Shiken said, still looking very calm.
Ye Luo stood up, holding the Lingyun Sword, and turned to walk outside.
However, at that moment, a dark shadow burst forth, slamming towards Ye Luoâs back.
Ye Luoâs figure indeed vanished in an instant, followed closely by a surge of sword light. The dark shadowâs face changed color, and he hurriedly threw a punch, retreating two steps and revealing the face of Kameda Taro, his fist dripping with fresh blood.
Ye Luo cast a cold glance at Kameda Taro and walked out of the Aikawa Association.
Kameda Taroâs gaze flickered, but he did not pursue any further. Instead, he turned and walked up to Myokaku Shiken.
"How are you, Myokaku-san?"
"Iâm fine, this kid is on par with Bei Chenfeng!" Myokaku Shikenâs eyes narrowed into slits as he uttered those words, especially the last three about Bei Chenfeng, with utmost solemnity. Even Kameda Taro felt a chill upon hearing that name.
Having left the Aikawa Association, Ye Luo spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his face turned pale, and his body wavered.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Ye Luo, directly supporting himâit was Leng Ruobing.
"Ye Luo, how are you?" Leng Ruobingâs cool face was tinged with a trace of concern.
"Iâm fine, why are you here?" Ye Luo revealed a pale smile.
"Youâve saved me several times; I naturally couldnât just leave you behind," Leng Ruobing said indifferently.
Ye Luo chuckled and leaned on Leng Ruobing, resting his head on her two soft peaks.
In the battle that had just occurred, Ye Luo did not truly win; it was just that his Lingyun Sword was stronger than Myokaku Shikenâs weapon. The terrifying combination of the latterâs blade intent and sword technique was indeed powerful.
Perhaps even a master of the first level of the Saint Realm wouldnât necessarily be able to block a full-powered strike, and if it werenât for the Lingyun Sword, which was unlike ordinary weapons, Ye Luo would have suffered even more severe injuries.
The two of them quickly left the area, with Leng Ruobing taking Ye Luo to a secret residence operated by the Special Security Bureau in Tokyo to begin recovering from his internal injuries.
At the Morita Family, Morita Taichi and Tagawa Banki were awaiting news of Ye Luoâs death, but instead, they received reports of Ye Luo leaving the Aikawa Association with dignity, which infuriated Morita Taichi and made him jump up in anger.
"How could this be? How is this possible? Even Myokaku Shiken is no match for that guy?" Morita Taichiâs face contorted, his body enveloped in a raging fury.
The repeated failures had caused the head of the Morita Family to completely lose control of his emotions.
"Brother Morita, calm down. It seems that this kidâs strength has exceeded our expectations. To deal with him, a Saint Realm master would need to take action," Tagawa Banki said solemnly.
"A Saint Realm master? How is that possible? Such experts are only found within those powerful sects and schools; we simply cannot find one otherwise. Asking them for a Saint Realm masterâs intervention would likely come at a significant cost," Morita Taichi said with a grim expression.
Tagawa Bankiâs small eyes narrowed, gleaming as he said, "Brother Morita, have you ever considered why this kid has come to the Island Country at this time?"
"What do you mean?" Morita Taichi looked puzzled.
"Weâve investigated this personâs identity; he is from Huaxiaâs mysterious Special Security Bureau, essentially a Huaxia government official. Yet now he appears suddenly in the Island Country, probably not for tourism," Tagawa Banki said.
Morita Taichiâs expression sank, turning to Tagawa Banki, "You mean he has other intentions for coming to the Island Country."
"Recently, the government has been researching biochemical weapons and has reached a crucial phase. With a member of the Huaxia Special Security Bureau arriving in the Island Country at this time, it is likely no coincidence."
"Youâre saying his target is the biochemical weapons," Morita Taichi said, startled.
"Huaxia and the Island Country have always been wary of each other. They would dislike us succeeding in developing such things the most, so itâs not impossible that they sent someone to sabotage," Tagawa Banki said, eyes sparkling with insight.
