Chapter 514: 0515 Sword Light and Shadow (Second Update)

The longsword whistled, resembling a spirit sword, and in an instant, it attracted everyone’s gaze.

The Japanese samurai stared at the Kusanagi Sword in Ye Qiu’s hands, his eyes shifting from surprise to intense desire.

His greedy gaze was undisguised.

Divine Artifact! Japan’s Divine Artifact!

The samurai, unable to contain his trembling, knew the Kusanagi Sword as someone in the Japanese martial arts community. Although the sword had long disappeared, its appearance was preserved and worshiped at the Jingū Shrine.

He had learned about the Kusanagi Sword from many ancient texts; it was rumoured to have slain the eight-headed serpent and was considered a legendary divine object. The fact that it had appeared in China shocked and excited him tremendously.

Such an item must be returned to Japan; how could he allow it to be wielded by someone from China?

Murderous thoughts of seizing the treasure had already surged in the samurai’s heart.

However, before confirming if the sword in Ye Qiu’s hands was indeed the true Kusanagi Sword, he wanted to test it. If it were the lost Divine Artifact of Japan, he would get it at any cost.

Ye Qiu’s appearance surprised everyone, including Meng Pengxiao, who had thought Ye Qiu would stay hidden and never expected him to show up in public.

"Ye Qiu has made a move. I wonder if he can defeat this Japanese samurai..." someone worried for Ye Qiu.

"Although he’s ranked last among the top ten, don’t forget that he has slain two top-tier Japanese experts, Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno," countered another, more optimistic about Ye Qiu and keenly observant. "Did any of you notice? This time Ye Qiu came with a sword. He’s never been known to use a sword before. Maybe swordsmanship is his strongest skill."

Hearing this, those who had been somewhat skeptical immediately shifted their support to Ye Qiu.

"You’re seeking your own death; you will definitely lose," Meng Pengxiao cursed venomously as he watched Ye Qiu.

Although he had conceded defeat earlier and faced criticism for it, few dared to mock him openly today since Meng Pengxiao was also one of the strong among the top ten.

"I didn’t expect him to show up. I wonder how he will fare against this Japanese samurai!" exclaimed Feng Jian.

It had been assumed that Huangfu Jun would take the field and decide the outcome with the Japanese samurai, but suddenly, Ye Qiu appeared, and the battlefield shifted to him.

"Could it be that brother Huangfu did this on purpose?" A flicker of doubt crossed Feng Jian’s mind, but when he looked at Huangfu Jun, he could not discern anything from his expression.

The focus eventually fell on the two figures in the center of the arena.

Without any unnecessary words, Ye Qiu raised his sword, the samurai drew his katana, their eyes blazing as they struck instantly.

The samurai’s katana sliced through the air multiple times, each strike creating a sharp Qi Blade, exuding an astonishingly lethal aura.

If one were struck by any of these Qi Blades, cutting through stone and iron would be effortless.

Ye Qiu’s sword tip quivered, followed by numerous sword flowers blossoming like plums in winter. They cascaded through the air, resembling a flurry of falling petals, creating a beauty akin to dancing with a sword in the snow, but only the strong could see the murderous intent in every swing of Ye Qiu’s sword.

Heaven unleashes murderous intent, changing stars and constellations; Earth unleashes murderous intent, making dragons and snakes take flight; People unleash murderous intent, turning the world upside down.

Ye Qiu’s first move was filled with chilling murderous intent. Could it be that he intends to kill this Japanese samurai?

All ten Assassins present were shaken, none could fail to see Ye Qiu’s endless murderous intent, vividly prominent in his swordplay.

He had already killed Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno, and now, he showed no mercy to the Japanese Samurai either, striking with lethal moves. He was utterly offending Kawano Yase to the extreme.

Even Feng Jian and Luo Tie couldn’t help but be astounded. Ye Qiu was much more ruthless than they were, attacking with fatal techniques.

The sword flowers Ye Qiu picked spun around the Japanese Samurai, and as each blossom burst open, its power was no less than that of a bullet. Once all exploded, let alone ordinary people, even a True Qi Martial Artist would fall dead, bathed in blood.

The Japanese Samurai immediately shifted his shape, vanishing on the spot. Ye Qiu frowned, suddenly unable to sense his opponent, and his controlled sword flowers struck empty air.

"Die!"

The Japanese Samurai reappeared, just as when he fought Feng Jian, suddenly appearing behind Ye Qiu and slashing out a shocking blade light.

Could it be that Ye Qiu was also going to be defeated by following in Feng Jian’s footsteps?

All held their breath, focusing intently on the two of them.

"Ninjutsu, just tricks to deceive the eye, do you think you can completely hide from me?" Ye Qiu suddenly sneered. Paying no heed to the blade light from the Samurai behind him, he detonated his sword flowers towards the apparently empty air ahead.

At that moment, the blade light from the Japanese Samurai also passed through Ye Qiu’s back.

Bang, bang, bang...

An astonishing scene unfolded, Ye Qiu was struck by the blade light but remained completely unharmed. Meanwhile, the figure of the Japanese Samurai suddenly appeared in the seemingly empty air ahead, clutching his chest, hurt by Ye Qiu’s just-exploded sword flowers.

At that moment, a hint of surprise flickered in Feng Jian’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to break the opponent’s deceiving tricks, to see through the shallow blade light that was just an illusion, and to strike the Japanese Samurai with one hit. This was something Feng Jian had only realized after their struggle, while Ye Qiu had discerned it at first glance. In this aspect, Feng Jian admitted he was inferior to Ye Qiu.

The wounded Japanese Samurai, chuckling in anger: "You are good, far better than those before you in the Assassins, how did you see through my attack?" The Japanese Samurai was puzzled; it was his first time encountering someone who could see through his move on the first attempt.

However, this comment, upon reaching the ears of the other Assassins, instantly soured their expressions by three shades, a naked insult, yet a fact, undeniable, causing those defeated by the Japanese Samurai to twitch their lips helplessly in defeat.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly. The Japanese Samurai thought he could really turn the world upside down with one Ninjutsu technique, hiding his aura completely, but in front of Ye Qiu, the king of Assassins, no matter how well you hide, he would still capture you. What’s more, Ye Qiu possessed eyes that could see through everything, so any of the Japanese Samurai’s Ninjutsu would be exposed in front of Ye Qiu.

"Do you want to know?" Ye Qiu said.

"Yes," the Japanese Samurai sincerely said.

"What you want to know, you’ll have to ask Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno yourself," Ye Qiu laughed heartily. With these words, the Japanese Samurai’s expression grew even uglier as Ye Qiu publicly scorned and toyed with him.

Damn!

The Japanese Samurai swiftly drew his katana, launching a frenzied attack, the katana’s Qi Blade stretching two meters as it moved with the Samurai’s actions, transforming the entire battlefield into a chaotic dance of True Qi.

Facing the Japanese Samurai’s crazy attacks, Ye Qiu held his sword single-handedly, the Kusanagi Sword loudly resonating as he infused it with True Qi.

Simultaneously, as the blade energy kept attacking, Ye Qiu shouted: "Break! Break! Break!"
