Chapter 161: Chapter 155 Night Raid (Complete)

"Ah..."

A piercing scream told of the painful death of a life, as the yellow earth where Qing Yu had pointed was dyed with blood soil by the gushing fresh blood.

Qing Yu and Luo Yan’s True Qi melded together, creating a Qi Force beyond imagination that sliced Hattori Shoutaro, who was hit by their combined attack, into a state beyond agony, leading to an indescribably bitter death.

To be honest, had Hattori Shoutaro not been so intent on escaping, he wouldn’t have died so miserably. His mistake lay in his overconfidence in the Ninjutsu, unfamiliar to the people of the Central Plains, believing that it would allow him to escape with ease.

Unfortunately, he met Qing Yu, the man who was proficient in Yin Yang Technique and could easily see through his Ninjutsu, rendering Hattori Shoutaro’s attempts to escape using the Earth Escape Skill utterly futile.

The tragic scream before Hattori Shoutaro’s death was earth-shattering, and the other two combatants nearby couldn’t possibly fail to hear it.

Bu Lengchuan’s fighting spirit flared like fire. Although already bloodied, the steel blade in his hand remained unshaking, even colder and more ruthless than before.

"It seems, Brother Bu has met his match and does not want us to interfere," Luo Yan discerned Bu Lengchuan’s intention of refusal and said to Qing Yu.

"In that case, let’s take a moment to catch our breath first," said Qing Yu.

The battle had seemed short, but it was actually to the extreme in intensity. From Hattori Shoutaro’s sneak attack to his final defeat at the hands of the two, one powerful technique after another had been deployed. Logically, Qing Yu’s True Qi should have been exhausted by now.

Not wanting Luo Yan to see his proficiency in returning energy, he feigned complete exhaustion of his True Qi, even sweating a bit on his forehead.

As for Luo Yan, he truly had exhausted his True Qi. Going to help would only cause more chaos, so it was better for him to recover first, ready to cover for Bu Lengchuan.

"This Japanese samurai has more backbone than Hattori Shoutaro, fighting to the death without retreat. Watching his movements, not a hint of panic can be seen; he truly is a fierce warrior who dares to face death head-on," Luo Yan remarked during their respite, suddenly commenting on the duelists.

"It’s just a matter of different perspectives," Qing Yu replied casually, "Hattori Shoutaro was a Ninja; naturally, his concept differs from that of a samurai. Ninjas prioritize their mission above all else, everything else is for survival, which is quite unlike samurais.

Moreover, with us ready to cover again, he could not escape. Rather than dying in an encirclement, he might as well die in a duel with Leng Chuan. If he’s lucky, he might even take someone with him to the grave!"

"But he’s mistaken there; Brother Bu is about to use his ultimate move."

"No, I should say both sides are about to use their ultimate moves."

Bu Lengchuan and the Japanese samurai were evenly matched. At this point in the fight, both had sustained serious injuries, and the moment for a decisive battle had come.

The Japanese samurai held his katana high, an ordinary posture reminiscent of the widely prevalent "Powerful Slash of Huashan" from the worldly society, but the momentum of a Clean Break told others that this move was anything but simple, able to cut through anything.

Meanwhile, Bu Lengchuan held his blade horizontally with killing intent, his chilling gaze sizing up his opponent as if looking at a piece of meat on a chopping block.

"Are we really not intervening?" Qing Yu asked.

With both sides displaying equal momentum, strength, and resolve, through Qing Yu’s Void Eye, the odds of victory were evenly split at fifty-fifty, with chances of life and death the same, and a significant possibility that both would perish together.

"I trust Brother Bu," Luo Yan said resolutely.

Well, with his good friend Luo Yan saying that, what more could Qing Yu say! Despite Qing Yu often addressing him as "Leng Chuan," both understood that the friendliness was only on the surface. Having known each other for less than a day, where could such deep affection come from?

Qing Yu’s address "Leng Chuan" may sound like they shared a deep bond, but it wasn’t nearly as intimate as Luo Yan’s consistent use of "Brother Bu."

As they spoke, Bu Lengchuan had already executed his final move against the Japanese samurai.

Bu Lengchuan swung his long sword swiftly, yet the extreme speed of the blade did not bring about any blade light; instead, a white mist inexplicably appeared before him.

This mist looked eerie, but through Qing Yu’s Void Eye, it was apparent that the mist was composed of countless tiny Blade Energies. It seemed Bu Lengchuan’s "Dismantling Blade Style" was nearing great success.

The "Blood Hand Divine Capture" Leng Kuangtu, was a forensic doctor at the Six Gates in his early years, dissecting countless corpses and developing the "Corpse Dissection Blade Technique." Later, Leng Kuangtu went from being a forensic doctor to an undercover agent, dedicated to capturing and killing a variety of criminals in the worldly society.

The "Corpse Dissection Blade Technique," through practical combat and after dissecting numerous live bodies, evolved into the "Dismantling Blade Style," renowned for its complexity and intricacy. Those killed by this sword technique were assured to be left unrecognizable, a set of techniques designed solely for assassination.

If Bu Lengchuan’s sword technique was the epitome of complexity, then the enemy Japanese samurai was the epitome of simplicity. A seemingly ordinary downward slash with both hands wielding a sword, yet with solid Blade Energy so tangible, it cut through anything that blocked its path in a clean break.

Each represented extreme forms of swordplay clashing, Blade Energies flying, leaving marks on the loamy ground, and the force of their strikes whipping up dust that obscured the two combatants.

"Leng Chuan won,"

Seeing the two settle their final duel and the ensuing silence within the dust, Luo Yan, although very confident in Bu Lengchuan, was also deeply concerned. At that moment, taken aback by Qing Yu’s affirmative words, he turned towards him and asked, "Can you see clearly?"

"How could I?" Qing Yu flatly denied. His Void Eye was not at the level to see through the dust before them.

"Look at these marks on the ground," Qing Yu pointed to the long, narrow sword marks on the ground, signaling Luo Yan to observe, "Leng Chuan’s Blade Energy is small and finely detailed; it couldn’t have made such long marks. But the opponent’s technique was solid and singular, so logically, it couldn’t have left so many marks either.

The only possibility is that his Blade Energy was dismantled. Leng Chuan’s ’Dismantling Blade Style’ dissected the opponent’s solid, singular Blade Energy into multiple ones, cutting into the ground. Thus, the outcome is self-evident."

As he spoke, Qing Yu, utilizing the "Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow," summoned Qing Feng to scatter the lingering dust, revealing the two standing figures in the arena.

Bu Lengchuan had a long, narrow sword mark on his body, suggesting he hadn’t fully dissipated the Blade Energy in the end, but the life still present in his eyes indicated he was alive.

In contrast, the Japanese samurai’s eyes were lifeless, his body covered in numerous tiny wounds, blood oozing from them, signifying he was dead.

What was astonishing was that his katana was also filled with numerous fine cuts, confirming Qing Yu’s conjecture that Bu Lengchuan had indeed dismantled his Blade Energy.

"With matters settled, it’s time to clean up." Qing Yu’s voice carried with the wind, and his subordinates waiting outside heard it through the breeze, entering one after another.

They neatly subdued and carried away the disoriented Japanese people, knocked out by "Beisu Qingfeng," loading them onto the carriages parked outside the estate.

That night, although there were complications, the outcome was joyous. Qing Yu and his comrades were utterly victorious, capturing more than forty Japanese people.
