Chapter 596: 0597 Break Them One by One (First Update)

This strike was powerful enough to rival the attacks of Yagyu Suke within his domain.

The invincible blade pierced through heaven and earth, as if a supreme divine sword had cleaved through everything, vanquishing all in its path.

Ye Qiu felt helpless in his heart, knowing that this blade was ten times stronger than the previous one. He estimated that he would not be able to dodge it; he either had to be struck by it or to break it, with no other choice.

The attack of the seven oddities was not only strange but also exceedingly powerful.

Unknown to Ye Qiu, these seven were samurai chosen by the Seven Samurai Family, who had trained together from childhood, sharing meals and sleep. It was through rigorous training that they became so formidable.

Especially in terms of momentum or attack, there was no repulsion between the seven, allowing them to integrate with each other. Thus, when they combined their strength, their power was no less legendary.

The Seven Samurai Family had perfected Single Blade Style and Dual Blade Style, taking swordsmanship to the ultimate limit. Each person specialized in swordsmanship, and in the martial world, it was impossible to find someone who could surpass the Seven Samurai Family in this art.

This family was just so freakishly dedicated, honing their craft to unparalleled levels.

Ye Qiu estimated that to break the sword qi before him, he would have to exhaust at least a layer of his Black Flame power. What annoyed him the most was the feeling that after this wave of sword qi, there would be more. These seven oddities would certainly not stop here, meaning he would have to spend a considerable amount of Black Flame power to confront them.

Ye Qiu’s mind was set on using as little of his Black Flame power as possible. It was only when facing the old monk that he had used it before; all other assassination attempts were resolved directly using skill or speed.

"Perhaps I could try... borrowing the power of heaven and earth!" Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled as he remembered how Miyamoto Ryūmu had borrowed the power of heaven and earth to fight against him.

Ye Qiu focused his mind and sought to harness the power of heaven and earth, which required a peaceful heart, free of joy or anger.

As Ye Qiu closed his eyes and began to merge with his surroundings, the seven samurai didn’t give him the opportunity to borrow the power of heaven and earth and launched another attack.

Each of them had a unique understanding of swordsmanship, to the point where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them sword fanatics. Even if their realms were not as high as Ye Qiu’s, their mastery of swordsmanship surpassed his, especially since the seven could combine their attacks, making their power even more extraordinary.

The seven changed their positions, instantly dispersing and surrounding Ye Qiu.

At the same time, each brandished their curved swords, from which numerous short white blades burst forth.

These blades spun like whirlwinds, forming a potent attack.

Coming towards Ye Qiu were seven spinning blades, each twirling at high speeds, cutting through the air with a sizzling noise.

Ye Qiu was unable to focus his mind, for such an attack was sufficient to harm him.

He had to temporarily give up on borrowing the power of heaven and earth and swung his sword repeatedly in defense.

Sword Qi cascaded down, but upon striking the spinning blades, it shattered. The seven spinning blades, while attacking, had also merged, forming an even more terrifying whirlwind of blades.

Ye Qiu had the urge to curse his bad luck, as this was the first time he had encountered such a nauseating technique. It was strange how the seven could always merge their moves together.

The spinning blade vortex transformed into a dragon tornado along the slope of Mount Fuji, uprooting the surrounding trees and even pulling in the snowflakes from the peak into its high-speed spin, fragmenting everything.

Such a formidable attack shocked the onlookers at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone watched as a whirlwind dragon suddenly emerged from halfway up the mountain, raising its massive head before plunging fiercely toward its target. The visual impact was so intense, it seemed as if the dragon was about to punch a hole through Mount Fuji.

"Is this Ye Qiu’s attack or the Seven Samurai’s? They wouldn’t be trying to level Mount Fuji, would they?"

"Hope is the Samurai’s move, such a powerful strike, enough to kill that arrogant young Martial Artist from China," a young Samurai muttered with a hint of jealousy, bitterly.

Upon witnessing this scene, the royal man’s face finally shifted from anger to joy. He naturally knew whose masterpiece it was. The Seven Samurai had not let him down and were still so powerful; now, Ye Qiu should be vanquished.

Sato Eno silently observed the royal man, instantly inferring from his smiling face that this powerful attack must belong to the Seven Samurai.

"No wonder the royal family is untouchable, even after stepping down; they control such horrifying power, comparable to the Three Great Generals, it seems," Sato Eno couldn’t help thinking.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Qiu’s arm shook, and one sleeve was instantly shredded, as the tornado before him gradually dissipated.

Three layers of strength!

Ye Qiu felt a pang of pain. To block that strike, it had cost him three layers of strength. This meant if the opponent were to launch a few more attacks like the previous one, his power would be utterly drained.

Ye Qiu dared not let his opponents continue to combine their attacks; otherwise, he would be killed by someone a level above him!

"I underestimated Japan’s martial arts." The strength of the seven oddities made Ye Qiu realize that Japan’s Martial Artists weren’t weak. Even though he had reached the Legendary realm, he should not be careless, or else today, a bloody death at the hands of these seven oddities was very likely.

In this world, it wasn’t only Ye Qiu who could fight across tiers. The seven oddities before him could do the same; clearly not at the Legendary level, yet their combined strike was comparable to the power of the later stages of the Legendary realm. Upon deeper thought, this was terrifying. What if all seven of them were at the Legendary realm? Ye Qiu didn’t dare to imagine; he probably could only run away by then.

The seven oddities before him truly put pressure on Ye Qiu. Even though they were only at the True Qi realm, they seemed more terrifying to him than those at the Legendary realm.

Ye Qiu saw a sliver of his own reflection in the seven oddities. If they all broke through to the Legendary realm, just these seven would be enough to dominate the martial arts world of China.

"If that’s the case..." Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered; he didn’t want the delay to go on any longer. The longer he waited, the more strength the seven oddities in front of him would have to deal with him.

Ye Qiu took the initiative!

He put away the Kusanagi Sword and went with a direct punch, his figure flickering several times, constantly disappearing in front of the Seven Samurai.

The Seven Samurai stayed calm, each drawing their blades and immediately striking.

This time, Ye Qiu didn’t give the seven a chance to combine their attacks. He smashed through one punch, and with a swift movement, he stood before one Samurai, releasing a deadly punch.

Seeing Ye Qiu attack their comrade, the others once again launched their blades’ edge, combining their attack and striking from behind Ye Qiu.

The isolated Samurai who was faced with true hand-to-hand combat was no match for Ye Qiu. Their fists collided, and his arm shattered instantly.

Ye Qiu showed no mercy, seizing the opportunity to whittle down the opponent’s strength.

He chased rapidly, and the isolated Samurai, holding his sword single-handedly, struck out again. Ye Qiu ignored the strike and landed a punch directly into his opponent’s chest.

Thump!

One punch ended his life.

Ye Qiu felt a sudden change in the remaining six’s aura, and the momentum of their fusion also fluctuated.

"Breaking them down one by one is correct; six remain," Ye Qiu wiped the corner of his mouth. Since their reliance was on combined attacks, if he could shatter them before they were launched, or directly kill one of them, their strength would continue to weaken.
