Chapter 598: 0599 has become a giant! (Third Update)

The eleventh assassination attempt!

What surprised Ye Qiu was that the person blocking him showed no intention to kill, nor any intention to make a move.

"You don’t want to kill me?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"As people of the martial arts world, we do not wish to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Mr. Ye Qiu, but rather to express a viewpoint to Mr. Ye." These elders with weak auras slowly said.

"Oh? What viewpoint?" Ye Qiu’s eyes slanted.

"I represent our martial arts world in declaring to Mr. Ye that the encirclement on Mount Fuji was not orchestrated by our martial arts world. It was solely the members of the Seikuchi Group and the royal family targeting you. We hope Mr. Ye does not blame the martial arts world of our nation."

This statement sounded quite fresh. The reason he came here was based on what the martial arts world of this country had spread, claiming that both Sato Eno and Yagyu Sosuke were on the summit of Mount Fuji. Now that he had fought his way here, the martial arts world was actually taking the initiative to dissociate themselves from the matter; he wouldn’t easily believe it.

"I came to Japan only to take the lives of Sato Eno and Yagyu Sosuke, not to kill anyone else. However, your nation banded together to set a death trap on Mount Fuji, luring me into the pot. To say that it had nothing to do with your nation’s martial arts world, do you think I would believe that?" Ye Qiu roared quietly.

"Mr. Ye, please calm your anger. Here I can assure you that our nation’s martial arts world will never be your enemy. We will not hinder you; you may continue to descend the mountain whenever you wish," the elder said sincerely.

Ye Qiu didn’t move, and even though the elders in front of him were respectful, he still didn’t show a smile.

"Whether you move against me or not isn’t my concern; I could just kill all of you. But now you’re telling me that luring me here has nothing to do with your martial arts world—that’s washing your hands of it a bit too cleanly, isn’t it?" Ye Qiu’s tone turned cold.

The leading elder stepped forward, bowed his head, and said, "Mr. Ye, since you suspect that it was our martial arts world’s fault, then I will apologize to you with one of my arms."

As he spoke, the elder’s hand struck his shoulder without hesitation, and instantly one arm was useless.

Ye Qiu didn’t budge, his gaze flickering, uncertain of his intentions.

Seeing that Ye Qiu was still not relenting, the elder gritted his teeth and immediately disabled one of his legs!

"Mr. Ye, do you see my sincerity now? If you are still not satisfied, even if I disable all of my limbs, I have nothing more to say," the elder pleaded, already half-kneeling on the ground, seeking Ye Qiu’s forgiveness.

After a short pause, Ye Qiu smirked and said to the elder, "Fine, since it has come to this, I won’t make things difficult for your martial arts world." The elder breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Qiu had not finished speaking. "However..."

Ye Qiu slowly walked up to the elder, staring into his eyes, and said coldly, "The moment I find out the martial arts world is targeting me, I will personally eradicate the martial arts world from Japan."

"I understand!" the elder said, bowing his head until Ye Qiu slowly descended the slope, only then did he raise his head.

The young martial artists standing beside were filled with confusion as they hurriedly helped the elder up. In their eyes, this elder was a prominent figure in the martial arts world, yet he had self-mutilated one leg and one arm in front of Ye Qiu.

"Senior, why did you do this... Wasn’t the agreement to kill him with all our might here?"

The elder bore the pain in his body, glanced at the group, and said, "If he hadn’t entered the realm of legends, even at the cost of everyone’s lives, we would have to kill him. But the moment I saw him, I knew that in Japan, no one could match him anymore."

The elder couldn’t help but recall the conversation he had with Yagyu Sosuke the night before.

Yagyu Sosuke said, if Ye Qiu truly dared to enter Japan alone, it meant he feared no Japanese master and was definitely a legendary master himself. At that point, facing Ye Qiu, even if they exploited their numerical advantage, they couldn’t win. Legends cannot be overcome by sheer numbers!

That night, the elder remembered Liusheng Xuzhu was consumed with guilt over abandoning the Duanchang Sword and sighed repeatedly.

If the Duanchang Sword were still with him, Liusheng Xuzhu’s full-force battle with Ye Qiu would have surely forced Ye Qiu to expend most of his strength.

Adding on the twelfth assassination line set up by the Aokuchi Group, the royal family, and the martial arts world, Ye Qiu would have had no doubt met his demise. Unfortunately, Liusheng Xuzhu no longer harbored any thoughts of battling Ye Qiu. Devoid of his usual sharp edge and without the Duanchang Sword, he seemed to have suddenly aged, bearing a twilight heaviness. The elder felt at that moment that Liusheng Xuzhu’s martial arts foundation may have crumbled.

"A martial arts genius who can defeat legendary opponents in the True Qi realm. Such a pity that this person is not a martial artist from our country..." The elder sighed twice, his body appearing much more hunched in an instant.

The eleventh assassination line was thus effortlessly breached by Ye Qiu.

When Sato Eno and the others saw Ye Qiu walking down from the foot of Mount Fuji, they widened their eyes in disbelief, muttering to themselves, "How could it be so fast? It hasn’t even been a few breaths’ time. Could it be that Ye Qiu has reached the point where he can vanquish all opponents with a mere wave of his hand?"

Sato Eno’s heart went from shock to terror as that figure appeared just five hundred meters in front of him.

He had come down!

The martial artists of Japan were all taken aback. Could it be that all their elite warriors had been slain by Ye Qiu?

Soon, they saw several elderly martial artists and young warriors of their martial arts world appearing not far behind Ye Qiu, walking out slowly.

Seeing this, some were stunned. What exactly happened? Why didn’t the people from the eleventh assassination line stop Ye Qiu?

"They didn’t make a move, did they?"

"But that elder is injured."

Contrasted with the puzzlement among the martial artists, Sato Eno suddenly yelled, "Damn it, they must have intentionally let Ye Qiu go. They didn’t try to stop him at all!"

Sato Eno’s roar sparked resistance from many martial artists. Those were their world’s elders, not someone a Hall Master like himself could berate at will. Although they could not grasp the situation, some in the martial arts world still swore to stand by their side no matter what. How could the Aokuchi Group dictate anything to the martial arts world?

Finally reaching the foot of the mountain, Ye Qiu saw the panic-stricken Sato Eno through the wall of people, fidgeting restlessly.

"Sato Eno, I’ve come to take your life!" Ye Qiu shouted loudly, making no attempt to hide his intent to kill Sato Eno.

"Kill him, what are you waiting for!" Sato Eno, scared out of his wits upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, immediately yelled at the members of the Aokuchi Group forming the human wall.

The Aokuchi Group had brought thousands of men, forming a dense barrier in front of Ye Qiu.

"Sato Eno, do you think these people can stop me from taking your life?" Ye Qiu laughed. Even if there were millions blocking his path, nothing could halt his determination to kill Sato Eno.

Sato Eno felt goosebumps all over his body and nearly cried out to the royal man, "Sir, your men can start taking action now,"

"This time, we’ll definitely stop him!"

However, the royal man suddenly shook his head and said, "Sato Eno, he wants to kill you, not me. Why should I stop him?"

"You..." Sato Eno, seeing the royal man’s sudden change of tune, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
