Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Mysterious Swordsman_1

"Saito, Yuehua!"

After his rage subsided, Yagyu Funasai sat cross-legged on the floor and thought for a moment, then shouted towards the outside of the room, "Get ready. We are heading to Jiuzhou’s Jiangling City today!"

Saito and Yuehua were the most outstanding disciples of the Yagyu sect, among whom Yagyu Saito was also Yagyu Funasai’s youngest son.

In fact, Yagyu Saito had shown an astonishing talent for martial arts since childhood, having entered the Houtian Realm before he was twelve years old. It took him only seven years to break through to the Innate Realm, and this year, at the age of twenty-five, he advanced to the Innate Realm’s Profound Rank, becoming the youngest Profound Rank expert in the Yagyu clan.

In the Yingzhou Dragon’s Hidden List, Yagyu Saito was ranked among the top five, with an immeasurable future.

On the other hand, Shanben Yuehua, nearing forty, was long established. As the chief disciple of Yagyu Funasai, he was the second best fighter in the Yagyu sect, second only to his master, Yagyu Funasai.

At the moment, Shanben Yuehua’s martial cultivation was at the peak of the Profound Rank, barely half a step away from advancing to the Earth Rank.

Of course, the Earth Rank was not so easy to achieve; throughout history, countless experts had been stuck at the peak of the Profound Rank, never able to break through until death.

To break through to the Earth Rank often required not just hard training, but an opportunity.

The reason why Yagyu Funasai sent these two to Jiuzhou was partly to temper his son Saito’s arrogant nature. Having pride as a martial artist isn’t a bad thing, but excessive arrogance can easily lead to a dead end. Only by giving him a bit of a lesson and pulling him down a notch could he maintain humility while striving hard in his cultivation.

If the letter was to be believed, then the man from Jiangling City, Jiuzhou, Mo Han, who stole the Japanese Sword and could easily kill the Nie Family’s Great Sword Master Nie Kuangtu, was not even twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His talent must certainly be greater than Saito’s.

Using Mo Han as Saito’s whetstone was more than appropriate.

The other reason for dispatching Shanben Yuehua was to ensure the protection of his youngest son Saito. With Shanben Yuehua, a high-level expert of the Profound Rank present, at least Saito’s safety could be assured.

Moreover, Shanben Yuehua had been at the peak of the Profound Rank for quite some time, and to break through to the Earth Rank, he would need an opportunity.

And this opportunity was none other than Mo Han!

Nie Kuangtu had once come to Sakura Island pursuing martial arts, representing the Nie Family. Because of cooperation with the Nie Family, Yagyu Funasai had Shanben Yuehua pass on the secret technique—the Sparrow Return—to him.

Naturally, the Sparrow Return that Shanben Yuehua taught was incomplete, its lethality greatly reduced.

Yagyu Funasai was aware of Nie Kuangtu’s strength. This elite of the Nie Family appeared to possess the standard of the Profound Rank, but due to excessive drug use, his actual combat power was far inferior to that of a battle-hardened expert of the Profound Rank, at best only slightly stronger than a lower-level expert of the Profound Rank.

For Mo Han to easily kill Nie Kuangtu was nothing remarkable.

Based on Yagyu Funasai’s estimation, Mo Han’s strength should be between the mid and peak levels of the Profound Rank. Even if Mo Han was at the peak of the Profound Rank, he would definitely not be a match for his battle-seasoned chief disciple, Shanben Yuehua.

Thus, he planned to send the two of them to Jiangling City, Jiuzhou.

There was no time to delay; they must set out for Jiuzhou at once!

The mysterious swordsman of Yingzhou Island might come to challenge him in Sakura Island at any moment, and only with the Japanese Sword would he have enough confidence.

After he spoke, there was not a sound from outside.

Yagyu Funasai’s brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, roaring angrily towards outside, "Saito! Yuehua! What are you doing! Get in here at once!"

Silence!

The wooden house was as silent as death.

Yagyu Funasai felt something was amiss. He hurriedly got up, grabbed the Japanese Sword next to the folding screen, and rushed out with his wooden clogs clattering.

As soon as he went outside, Yagyu Funasai smelled a thick stench of blood.

Looking around, he saw that the cherry blossoms that had been scattered on the ground were now blood-red.

He took a couple of steps forward and found over a dozen Yagyu disciples, clad in kimonos, lying scattered on the ground, already void of breath.

"Who is it! Who dares to slaughter my Yagyu disciples!"

Yagyu Funasai roared furiously as his eyes bulged like copper bells. He swung his Japanese Sword violently through the air a few times, venting his roar.

In the cherry blossom forest, Yagyu Funasai’s roars echoed continuously.

After a dozen seconds, at the end of the path, a dark figure slowly appeared.

It was a bearded man, whose face could not be clearly seen.

He had his chest puffed out, holding the handle of a long katana of about two inches on his right hand, resting the entire blade on his shoulder, and dragged something along the ground with his left hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person.

"Saito!"

Yagyu Funasai focused his eyes and saw that the man with the beard was not holding just anyone in his left hand—it was his most beloved younger son, Yagyu Saito!

At that moment, Yagyu Saito was dragged like a dead dog, covered in blood, with at least five fatal wounds on his body, especially a huge gash on his lower belly, with blood still gushing out.

Faintly hearing someone shouting his name, Yagyu Saito mustered all his strength and lifted his head.

When his gaze met his father’s, tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and they spilled forth.

"Otousan!"

"This man is a devil; he killed all the Yagyu clan on Sakura Island, even big brother Yuehua was chopped into two with a single strike."

"Father! Father, you must avenge them!"

The bearded man let go with his left hand, and Yagyu Saito’s body suddenly fell to the ground. In front of Yagyu Funasai, he took the katana off his shoulder, and the sharp blade directly sliced through Yagyu Saito’s heart.

Whoosh!

Blood gushed out like a fountain from Yagyu Saito’s chest. He looked down at his chest instinctively, but after just a glance, his body fell rigidly to the ground.

"Saito! Saito!"

Yagyu Funasai’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He raised his Japanese Sword and with a fierce step forward, he burst out like an arrow released from a bow.

"Korosu! Korosu!"
