Chapter 458: 0459 Copper Skin Iron Bones

It happened too fast, so much that it was hard to believe that Ye Qiu, being the top among the younger generation in the martial art circles of Japan, had fatally injured Jiu Zang in a single move.

Fujikawa Ueno was completely stunned. The turn of events was beyond his anticipation; he had never imagined Jiu Zang would lose, and yet the reality before him was that Jiu Zang had not only been thoroughly defeated but had also lost his life because of it.

Instantly, Fujikawa Ueno stepped forward and stared at Jiu Zang’s wound, a bloody hole, and the entire person had no sign of life force left.

Especially the unwilling look in Jiu Zang’s eyes, which hadn’t yet closed as they gazed at the sky,

It happened too fast, so much that it was hard to believe that Ye Qiu, being the top among the younger generation in the martial art circles of Japan, had fatally injured Jiu Zang in a single move.

Fujikawa Ueno was completely stunned. The turn of events was beyond his anticipation; he had never imagined Jiu Zang would lose, and yet the reality before him was that Jiu Zang had not only been thoroughly defeated but had also lost his life because of it.

Instantly, Fujikawa Ueno stepped forward and stared at Jiu Zang’s wound, a bloody hole, and the entire person had no sign of life force left.

Especially the unwilling look in Jiu Zang’s eyes, which hadn’t yet closed as they lost focus gazing at the sky.

Fujikawa Ueno personally closed Jiu Zang’s eyes. He had no idea how to explain what had happened to Guishan Baiyi. What was supposed to be a challenge to elevate his prestige turned into a defeat right at the outset; he was too ashamed to return to Japan and explain any of this to Guishan Baiyi.

Fujikawa Ueno’s eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Ye Qiu and seethed, "You killed him, you actually killed him..."

"In fighting there are no eyes, I didn’t intend to kill him, I just didn’t expect him to be so weak. It was merely an accident," Ye Qiu explained, which made Fujikawa Ueno’s lips twitch in response, as if the words were mocking him and Jiu Zang.

The martial artists watching the fight were also stunned by Ye Qiu’s retort. Indeed, Ye Qiu’s tone and his expression were meant to provoke hostility—even watching him, they felt an impulse to hit someone, assuming of course they could match Ye Qiu.

Fujikawa Ueno, his face turning the color of liver, remembered the preamble he had once addressed to the martial arts community expecting Ye Qiu to be defeated. But now the tables had turned, and it was Jiu Zang who was dead.

Fujokawa Ueno was so angered that he couldn’t find words to retaliate. In a bitterly cold tone, he said, "Alright, I challenge you, do you have the guts to accept?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding martial artists began murmuring among themselves. It looked like Fujikawa Ueno was pushed to his limits; Jiu Zang’s death had greatly affected him, compelling him to step forward and seek vengeance for Jiu Zang.

"Shameless! No matter what, Ye Qiu is among the younger generation. This old guy, already quite aged, still wants to challenge Ye Qiu, is he desperate?"

"What does a challenge matter? If I were Ye Qiu, I’d accept. An old guy coming onto our turf bragging, he deserves to be soundly beaten to understand that our Chinese martial arts community is not to be challenged by these insignificant foreigners."

"Ye Qiu is still young. They seem to have crossed paths before and apparently it was only through a mysterious person’s help that Ye Qiu escaped, preventing Fujikawa Ueno from killing him. Otherwise, Ye Qiu might have been in grave danger. This guy probably holds a grudge from being chased back to Japan in disgrace, blaming everything on Ye Qiu without reflecting on how despicably he tried to assassinate our martial artists."

The grudge between Fujikawa Ueno and Ye Qiu sparked quite a discussion. At this moment, everyone was waiting for Ye Qiu’s decision. Even if Ye Qiu rejected, they thought nothing less of him, given that Fujikawa Ueno was much older, and the odds weren’t greatly in Ye Qiu’s favor.

Even though martial artists’ skills are determined by natural gift, not everyone is exceptionally talented. Fujikawa Ueno has the edge of both talent and decades more experience in martial arts than Ye Qiu, making any fight between them unfair to Ye Qiu.

In the world of martial artists, fairness belongs to the powerful, but in this case, representing their respective countries, the duel must at least appear fair externally.

Ye Qiu could either accept or decline Fujikawa Ueno’s challenge.

While Fujikawa Ueno was intensely gazing at Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu burst into laughter and said, "Old man, last time, you managed to escape. This time, you may not be so lucky because you’ll end up just like him!"

Glancing at Jiu Zang’s body on the ground, Ye Qiu stated calmly, "If you want to die, I’ll oblige you!"

It was clear from this that he accepted Fujikawa Ueno’s challenge.

The senior martial artists such as Chen Yifeng and Monk Qian Zhen didn’t stop Ye Qiu. At this moment, their eyes gleamed with surprise, not because of agreeing with Fujikawa Ueno’s challenge, but because of the beastly form of martial arts displayed by Ye Qiu.

The Beast Fist had touched a few senior martial artists, and that was why they continued to watch without speaking, for they wanted to see more of Ye Qiu’s Beast Fist.

"Die!"

Fujikawa Ueno was determined to face his own death if he could not kill Ye Qiu; in his heart, Ye Qiu had to die.

If Taniyama Shirou were to learn that his most proud disciple had died in China, it would definitely cause an earthquake-like turmoil in Japan.

At this point, the only way to quell the yet-to-explode anger of Taniyama Shirou was to kill Ye Qiu.

Fujikawa Ueno attacked instantly, skipping any courtesies and going straight for the kill.

True Qi turned into rolling airflow, forming a dragon-like shape in the air, continuously striking.

Ye Qiu moved swiftly, and every killing intent swung by Fujikawa Ueno would stop right in front of him, only to be shattered by his punch.

The clash between the two was even more intense than with Jiu Zang. Ye Qiu realized that his opponent’s strength seemed a notch higher than Jiu Zang’s, having improved considerably since their last encounter.

Fujikawa Ueno indeed unleashed all his power against Ye Qiu, solely to kill him.

Although Jiu Zang’s strength was the best among the younger generation, compared to Fujikawa Ueno, who had already become a Grandmaster, he ultimately lacked some experience. Both stood at the pinnacle of True Qi, but in terms of combat ability, Fujikawa Ueno was stronger.

Unfortunately, Jiu Zang was killed by Ye Qiu, depriving him of the time to continue growing, otherwise, he might have become a supreme master surpassing Taniyama Shirou in the future.

"Last time someone helped you, otherwise you would not have survived until now."

"And now, this challenge is a battlefield just between us two, no one else can intervene. Ye Qiu, no one will save you now. I will kill you in front of your martial arts community," Fujikawa Ueno said fiercely.

After months of recovery and further progress, Fujikawa Ueno’s strength had greatly increased. Although it was undignified of him to challenge Ye Qiu directly, he indeed possessed formidable abilities, which was evident from the serious attention he drew from the other members of the Ten Owls watching the fight.

With fists flashing, Fujikawa Ueno swung his arm as if he was about to break through the sky, constantly striking around Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu often responded with the Beast Fist, occasionally saying, "Qin’s Beast Fist, specially for handling beast-like opponents," which further fueled Fujikawa Ueno’s anger.

"Die, die, just die!"

Fujikawa Ueno threw punches furiously, the perfect combination of speed and power was fully unleashed, making it impossible for anyone to dodge, as his fists repeatedly hit Ye Qiu.

However, Fujikawa Ueno soon realized, despite apparently taking dozens of punches, Ye Qiu didn’t even have a scratch. How could that be possible?

At that moment, Huangfu Jun suddenly spoke up, revealing the truth: "His defense is very strong. One of the reasons that Japanese man was killed earlier was because of this."

As Huangfu Jun finished, the gaze of everyone, including Qian Zhen and Chen Yifeng, was fixated on one person, Ye Qiu.

"Is this Iron Shirt?"

As a cultivator of Iron Shirt, Wang Hutang shook his head and said seriously, "It’s not Iron Shirt, yet it’s even more formidable than Iron Shirt. This young man’s potential is boundless."

Suddenly, Qian Zhen spoke up, "Isn’t there a skill that allows one to develop a body as tough as copper skin and iron bones?"
