Chapter 522: 0523 The Last Trump Card! (Fifth Update)

"Mom, Mom, look, someone is setting off fireworks on the mountaintop, how beautiful!"

In a humble house in the suburbs, a young boy with a flushed face pointed to Azure Dragon Mountain in the distance, incessantly calling out to the busy young woman in the kitchen.

The young woman, seeing her son dancing and prattling on with nonsensical words, immediately went over, glanced at the pitch-black peak of Azure Dragon Mountain, and scolded her son, "At such a young age, you already fail to learn good things, where are these fireworks coming from? You’ve even started to lie; is it because I haven’t spanked you these past few days that you have become so cocky!"

The boy, his face full of grievance, still pointed to the top of Azure Dragon Mountain, "There really were some just now, but they disappeared when you came over."

"Little rascal, still talking back, huh? Who sets off fireworks on the mountaintop during the New Year’s festivities, let’s go..." The young woman dragged the boy by the ear back into the room.

"But I really saw them."

"If you keep spouting nonsense..."

...

The power of the third form of the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand was a bit greater than Ye Qiu had anticipated; he didn’t believe such immense power wouldn’t threaten Gu Shan Bai Yi.

As the light faded, he watched for any sign of Gu Shan Bai Yi’s figure.

Empty.

Ye Qiu’s heart cooled in an instant.

A mocking laughter with undeniable fury came from the sky, "Impressive for a True Qi Martial Artist, Ye Qiu, you’ve actually managed to hurt me thrice. You’ve successfully angered me."

The figure of Gu Shan Bai Yi gradually appeared; he descended from the sky, no longer in his unscathed state. His clothes were torn, some parts were even ripped off, completely lacking the tranquil and otherworldly demeanor of a legendary realm warrior.

The best way to describe Gu Shan Bai Yi at the moment was disheveled.

Ye Qiu’s last strike had exceeded Gu Shan Bai Yi’s expectations. He never imagined Ye Qiu would have such a strong move, nearly causing him severe injury. Fortunately, in the very last second, he dodged, jumping into the air and away from the center of the explosive wave of power. He was only affected by the fringes of the blast.

Ye Qiu, a True Qi Martial Artist, had in one night caused him to shed blood twice, and now to end up so disheveled—all thanks to Ye Qiu alone.

Before he had met Ye Qiu, Gu Shan Bai Yi had never imagined that he, a legendary realm warrior, would be put in such a situation by a True Qi Martial Artist. But now, it had really happened; not only was he injured but also made to look utterly disheveled by his opponent.

"Damn it!"

Gu Shan Bai Yi emitted a murderous aura, staring intently at Ye Qiu.

Having missed, and seeing Gu Shan Bai Yi hopping around without heavy injury, Ye Qiu felt his spirits sink; there wasn’t much True Qi left. If he missed again and his strength was exhausted, he would really be facing death.

Gu Shan Bai Yi didn’t give Ye Qiu any time to think. With a flash, his fist had already hit Ye Qiu’s jaw.

Bang!

Ye Qiu flew sideways, landing on the cold stones.

Gu Shan Bai Yi was truly enraged. After landing the hit, he flashed again, grabbing Ye Qiu with one hand and giving him no chance to react, then directly punched him in the stomach, making Ye Qiu spit out blood.

"Young man, I’ve told you, you could choose your own way to die, but you insisted on provoking me. Now I will beat you to death alive," Gu Shan Bai Yi’s body flashed again, and he punched Ye Qiu’s stomach once more.

Ye Qiu’s body couldn’t escape from Gu Shan Bai Yi’s grip, continuously being tortured and beaten, with blood spewing out from his mouth.

Even with Ye Qiu’s stout body, under the battering from Gu Shan Bai Yi, he still couldn’t bear it, and soon one of his arms was broken.

"Next, I’ll cripple your other hand," Gu Shan Bai Yi said as he looked at Ye Qiu lying not far away, battered all over. This was still because he had held back, otherwise, one punch could have shattered Ye Qiu’s limbs.

"One does not disgrace the legendary realm; soon, I will send you on your way," said Gu Shan Bai Yi coldly as he slowly approached Ye Qiu.

After closing in on Ye Qiu, Gu Shan Bai Yi didn’t immediately cripple Ye Qiu’s other hand; instead, he took the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword from behind Ye Qiu, examining it for a moment. The patterns on it were filled with an ancient and mysterious air, captivating to behold.

Gu Shan Bai Yi’s gaze swept to the Kusanagi Sword that had fallen to the ground. He spread his fingers and with a grasp in the air, the Kusanagi Sword zipped into his hand.

Kusanagi Sword!

As softly as one caresses a woman’s body, Tanimoto Shiro caressed the Kusanagi Sword, sensing its sharp aura that seemed capable of slicing through everything.

Even with his legendary status defense power and physical strength, he could not resist the sharpness of this sword, evidenced by the dried blood still on his hands.

"Only a master like me can wield this sword and bring out its true value. And you, Ye Qiu, I must thank you for delivering it to me, allowing me to behold the Divine Artifact of my Japanese nation in my lifetime. I’ll express my gratitude by using this divine sword to cut your tendons and then break your limbs," Tanimoto Shiro said callously, his sword tip poised to sever Ye Qiu’s tendons.

"Old man, you’re getting ahead of yourself!"

Suddenly, Tanimoto Shiro’s gaze sharpened as he saw Ye Qiu, who should have been incapacitated, slowly rise to his feet.

Ye Qiu’s skin was covered with mysterious black patterns that resembled ancient texts, twisting and turning, exuding an aura of profoundness.

Tanimoto Shiro couldn’t comprehend Ye Qiu’s state; he was clearly just a True Qi Martial Artist, so why did Ye Qiu feel even more terrifying than someone of legendary status?

"How is this possible!" Tanimoto Shiro felt the aura emanating from Ye Qiu, chilling and powerful, especially the endless black in Ye Qiu’s eyes, devoid of pupils, just two black orbs emitting cold that seemed to freeze the cosmos, sending an instant shiver through anyone who saw it.

"You want to cripple me?" Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"Hmph, with the Kusanagi Sword in my grasp, what tricks do you have left, Ye Qiu? Playing ghostly tricks won’t save you," Tanimoto Shiro said, clutching the Kusanagi Sword, believing that with this Japanese Divine Artifact in hand, he could slay any opponent.

"Die!" Tanimoto Shiro swung his sword, sending a sword Qi slashing over several dozen meters, directly aimed at the bizarrely empowered Ye Qiu.

Hmph!

As Ye Qiu coldly snorted, Tanimoto Shiro’s body trembled. Shock hit him as the twenty-meter-long sword Qi was casually caught by Ye Qiu, mirroring the way Tanimoto Shiro had caught Ye Qiu’s attack earlier.

Now, it was Ye Qiu’s turn to do the same.

"You could never imagine my trump card. Today, I shall kill you, a legend!" In a blur of motion, Ye Qiu moved twice as fast as Tanimoto Shiro had earlier. Tanimoto Shiro didn’t have time to react before Ye Qiu was standing in front of him.

"This is the first punch you threw at me, now I’m returning it!" Ye Qiu’s voice rang in Tanimoto Shiro’s ears, and then Tanimoto Shiro was sent flying.

Tanimoto Shiro’s eyes widened in horror, powerless against a True Qi Martial Artist!

In an instant, Ye Qiu flashed again, landing another punch on Tanimoto Shiro.

Thwack thwack...

One punch after another.

Ye Qiu returned each blow in kind, leaving Tanimoto Shiro in a more miserable state than before, with wounds all over his battered body, apart from his torn clothes.

"You wanted to sever my tendons, so I will sever yours first!" Ye Qiu seized the Kusanagi Sword and swung it left and right, instantaneously slicing through Tanimoto Shiro’s skin and severing four tendons. Ye Qiu leaped and descended from the air, following with a stomp that broke Tanimoto Shiro’s limbs as he cried out in pain.

"Ye Qiu, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, there will be those far more terrifying than me who will seek revenge," Tanimoto Shiro, truly terrified now, saw Ye Qiu not as a young Martial Artist but as a merciless executioner, whose cold and clean strikes instilled dread.

Unmoved, Ye Qiu smiled and gently touched the blade of the Kusanagi Sword, slowly saying, "For each who comes, I kill one; if two come, I kill both, until the fear makes your Japanese nation kneel and beg for mercy!"

"Ye Qiu, you wouldn’t dare!" Tanimoto Shiro roared.

"Heh, what wouldn’t I dare? You should go and join your disciple Jiu Zang below," Ye Qiu said as he condensed a ball of bright fire in his hand and pressed it down fiercely.

With Ye Qiu’s push, Tanimoto Shiro was driven into the mountainside. As Ye Qiu walked down from the summit, behind him, an explosion boomed, and Azure Dragon Mountain trembled once more with flickering firelight.

...

"Mom, there are fireworks on the mountain top again, and this time it’s real, look quick," the ruddy-cheeked boy called to his young mother by the window.

The young woman’s face showed annoyance, this mischievous child, never stopping his lies.

The young woman approached the window, but as the boy pointed once more towards the distant Azure Dragon Mountain, the explosion had already faded, without a glimmer of light. The boy’s face fell, tears streaming down as he felt wronged, "There really was something just now... I’m not lying..."

"I’ll explain it to you once more; you surely didn’t hear it clearly before, come, come, come..." the young woman said with a gentle expression.
