Chapter 591: 0592 Descending the Mountain, Lethal Ambush! (First update)

Liu Sheng Xu Zhu, a legendary grandmaster who had grasped domains, thus bled out on the summit of Mount Fuji.

Ye Qiu’s expression was distant.

"Perhaps he had guessed that when I set foot on the Land of the Rising Sun, I was no longer at the True Qi realm, knowing full well he was no match." Ye Qiu thought to himself.

As for the Duanchang Sword, it was Liu Sheng Xu Zhu’s spiritual anchor in his martial path; the moment he abandoned it, he knew his martial journey had come to an end.

The fall of a legend reflected the rise of another.

Ye Qiu’s purpose here was undoubtedly to kill Liu Sheng Xu Zhu, but still, Liu Sheng Xu Zhu’s manner of death left him with a trace of sighs.

"So be it, as long as the Liu Sheng family doesn’t actively target me, I won’t harm any member of the Liu Sheng family." Ye Qiu’s voice was low, as if agreeing to Liu Sheng Xu Zhu’s request.

Liu Sheng Xu Zhu had exchanged his death for the safety of his entire clan, a brave act indeed. For such a master, Ye Qiu granted his final respect.

Atop Mount Fuji, the cold wind whistled.

Now, with Liu Sheng Xu Zhu dead, only Sato Enya remained.

Ye Qiu stood on the summit, surrounded by the thin air, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow. Liu Sheng Xu Zhu’s last words confirmed what Ye Qiu had thought—the Japanese martial arts world had no intention of handing the two of them over, only wishing to lure him here.

"I’d like to see what kind of methods you have, what kind of death trap you’ve set!"

Ye Qiu began to step down from the summit, step by step.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

His feet crunched on the snow, making a slight friction sound, Ye Qiu descended from the summit of Mount Fuji unhurriedly, with nothing but the occasional whistling of the cold wind.

Ye Qiu remained unfazed and continued forward.

As he had descended a kilometer, suddenly two cold flashes streaked by.

Ye Qiu’s gaze tightened, spotting two men in white bursting out from the snow, their speed fierce, and the cold gleam harmonized with the snowstorm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The blades emitted a terrifying intent to kill, aiming for Ye Qiu’s chest. It wasn’t until their attack was nearly upon him that he finally moved slightly and snorted.

With that snort, the silhouettes of the two men paused, but their attack did not stop.

Ye Qiu reached out with both hands, fearless of the threatening blades, as if nothing mattered, and caught the edges bare-handed, clearly startling the two attackers.

They burst out with all their strength in an instant, aiming to kill Ye Qiu in that moment, but he casually caught the strike.

Bare-handed blade capture!

With a pinch from Ye Qiu’s hands, the blades immediately snapped into two.

"Bad, retreat!"

The two men shouted at the same time and instantly attempted to flee. Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Daring to ambush him and expecting to escape from his presence, as if such good fortune were possible.

Ye Qiu extended a hand and pointed from afar.

The broken blade pieces on the ground instantly soared into the air, shooting towards the two figures who had dived back into the snow.

Pffft! Pffft!

The snow where the two figures had entered immediately stained red, paying the price of their lives for their sneak attack.

Ye Qiu remained unmoved and continued onward.

He didn’t wish to cause a bloodbath, only aiming to claim the lives of Sato Enya and Liu Sheng Xu Zhu, but if someone dared to lay hands on him, he wouldn’t mind more blood on his hands.

I did not wish to kill, yet everyone sought my death.

His eyes twinkled with a sharp light, and Ye Qiu had already sensed the killing intent hidden in the darkness, but he did not strike first. As long as these people did not truly come to kill him, he would not take action, but for those who dared to make a move, he did not hesitate to slay them.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Sure enough, the concealed killing intent ultimately remained still until now, when a full ten figures appeared before him.

Kill!

All ten were clad in black, like the two before them, but these were ten samurais, each wielding two blades.

Each of them had a determined look in their eyes, and from the callouses on their knuckles where they gripped their swords, it was clear that they were all masters who had practiced long and hard, their skill with the sword exceptionally exquisite.

Swish, swish...

The ten figures moved in an orderly manner to attack, forming a triangular killing formation.

Ye Qiu’s eyes were fierce as the killing formation took shape, as if he were facing a legendary level master, which actually gave him a sense of danger.

"Interesting, interesting," a hint of amusement rose in Ye Qiu’s heart, Japan actually had such combined attack formations that could match the aura of a legendary level, no wonder they dared to come for his life.

These ten working together were far stronger than the martial artists who took the chance to flee earlier; Ye Qiu could muster some interest, albeit just a little.

However, that was all.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s gaze flickered, his figure burst forth in a flash, not even a breath’s time was needed as he directly faced the ten-person killing formation head-on.

Bang, bang, bang...

Ye Qiu was like an elephant charging into a flock of sheep, not even using his hands, dodging the slashing blades, he directly knocked away five people, instantly breaking the formation.

As unstoppable as bamboo breaking through, alone and peerless.

The moment the killing formation was broken, ten men were struck down, five losing their ability to fight. The seemingly simple charge directly smashed their internal organs; after all, this was a strike from a legendary level, not something anyone below that level could withstand.

Moreover, these martial artists were only at the True Qi level, they were not the former Ye Qiu who could fight beyond his level. They could manifest an aura rivaling that of the legendary level when combined, which was indeed astonishing, but when facing the true legendary level Ye Qiu, it was ultimately like an egg striking a rock, the difference was immediate and decisive.

"The first line of defense is broken..."

"The second killing formation is also broken..."

A martial artist, who was secretly surveying the situation, reported on the attempts to kill Ye Qiu from time to time.

At the foot of Mount Fuji, Sato Eno and a royal family member, upon hearing the latest update, were not surprised but remained calm, "Continue observing."

Sato Eno smiled and said, "Your Highness has a great plan, luring Ye Qiu to Mount Fuji, where we can avoid harming innocents and attack him freely. Now the entire Mount Fuji has become a net of heaven and earth for him, making it extremely difficult for him to leave alive!"

The royal middle-aged man said, "The Divine Artifact of our Japan is in his hands; no matter how strong he is, our royal family must take back that sword."

"Then allow me to congratulate Your Highness in advance for soon obtaining the Divine Artifact, the Kusanagi Sword," Sato Eno flattered.

The royal man slightly raised his head; his royal family had deployed their strongest forces, aiming to keep Ye Qiu in Japan.

The first two assassination attempts were just an appetizer; the strongest was still to come.

Even if their royal family’s martial artists weren’t a match, the man was not afraid of Ye Qiu, for the power he controlled was enough to blow a hole in Mount Fuji, let alone deal with a mere mortal.

After dealing with the ten-person sword formation, Ye Qiu walked leisurely; he wanted to see what other masters the Japanese martial arts world had. Merely those martial artists of the True Qi level, no matter how many came, weren’t enough for him to kill.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Once again, figures flitted about, swiftly blocking his path.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly; the people now coming to kill him numbered twenty. Was the Japanese martial arts world intending to use a war of attrition tactic?

His gaze grew colder; if they wanted to overwhelm him with numbers, then he would just have to kill until they were afraid!

Boom!

An astounding aura burst forth from Ye Qiu.
