Brian flicked his lighter, tossed it backward, and then without looking back, strode towards his opponent.
The kerosene lighter fell precisely into a pile of oil drums.
The J-country shrine, flourishing in incense, turned into a roaring inferno under his deliberate gasoline sprinkling.
The handsome middle-aged man who passed the lighter to Brian was none other than Yagyuu Kojirou, whose ancestral mansion was next door.
Hearing the commotion, he immediately guessed the newcomer was the attacker who had raided the Extreme Path Sword Hall and taken away his son.
Yagyuu Kojirou was not in a good state at the moment.
So what if his son was gone.
He had had hundreds of children; losing one or two was commonplace, and he could produce more at any time.
Taking action himself would only lead to further loss of control.
Yagyuu Kojirou had no desire to act.
Alas, his opponent was courting death.
Yagyuu Kojirou sighed slightly.
With a tachi slung on his waist and standing on his wooden clogs, he looked down at Brian who had arrived at his feet and stated confidently, "You are not from the Dark Sect. You are from Hua Country, only Hua Country people would hate J-country shrines so much. It is the glory of the Empire, and your disgrace."
Brian extended a finger, placed it on his lips, and made a shushing gesture, "The dead don’t need to talk."
Yagyuu Kojirou nodded, suddenly drew his sword, and slashed through the air.
The air tore with a piercing noise, creating a hurricane-like high pressure.
Brian reacted quickly.
With a swift move, he dodged a fierce Gang Wind.
A terrifying sword mark extended more than ten meters behind where Brian had been standing, slicing open the concrete and steel reinforcements of the ground, cutting vehicles and their unfortunate passengers in half!
Looking at the sword mark behind him, Brian was somewhat taken aback.
Such a method of attack was similar to the principle of a high-pressure water jet.
How fast must this guy’s sword speed be to turn sword pressure into an attack resembling blade energy?
Yagyuu Kojirou was definitely the strongest expert he had ever met!
Yagyuu Kojirou, seeing that Brian dodged his attack, showed a hint of interest in his eyes.
Both hands on his sword, he assumed an attacking posture and chuckled lightly, "But still not good enough, you are too slow!"
His voice had barely faded when Yagyuu Kojirou’s figure vanished from the enclosing walls.
Brian was shocked and dodged yet another slash aimed at his neck.
Both their speeds were so fast that ordinary people could see only two blurry afterimages moving at high speed, unable to discern what it was!
Endless sword light shone in the clear daytime sky.
Brian dodged left and right, but a strange viscosity of the air entangled him. As his opponent’s drawing speed increased, so did the enveloping air pressure, making him slower and slower.
Just as he was about to be slashed.
Brian’s leg muscles swelled instantly, leaving two deeply cracked footprints on the ground, propelling him into an afterimage that jumped over ten meters into the air.
He drew a deep breath and roared down furiously, "Scram!"
Rings of visible air circles exploded from his mouth, becoming shockwaves that swept forward.
A peculiar scene arose.
The supersonic shockwaves disappeared as they approached Yagyuu Kojirou, only managing to lift the dust from the ground and shatter the glass of nearby buildings.
"Playing with sonic attacks in my ’Vacuum Domain’?"
Yagyuu Kojirou sneered, "Game over, kid."
In battle, the greatest taboo is to be airborne.
Along countless dotted lines,
his tachi seemed slow but was swift, charging through heavy phantoms and slashing towards Brian, who was already descending.
The blade wind like Gang, howling as it instantly crossed over ten meters, striking the area between Brian’s thighs as he began to fall.
An invisible Qi energy followed along Brian’s thighs up to his face, a red line emerging, astonishingly cut by Wind Pressure Saber Gang. It neatly avoided his bones, splitting open his entire chest as if butchering meat.
By the time Brian’s feet touched the ground, his chest involuntarily bloomed like a blood-red flower.
Yagyuu Kojirou, seeing Brian’s heart radiating intense heat waves and beating violently, had his eyes light up.
he instantly recognized the heart as a premium ingredient!
Yagyuu Kojirou averted his gaze, frowning as he hefted his tachi again, "A Mutant? Or a Beastification person with flesh modification?"
In front of him, the man whose flesh was torn apart, the body undergoing a Mutation, grew numerous wriggling tentacles out of thin air, rejoining his bisected body, leaving only a faint pink scar on the surface.
Yagyuu Kojirou was somewhat surprised by Brian’s transformation, and Brian was equally amazed by Yagyuu Kojirou’s Sword Skill.
This guy could actually slash out a momentary vacuum!
It seems I need to get serious.
Brian’s figure started to slowly swell, "I’m getting serious now!"
Yagyuu Kojirou waved his Small Tachi, "I was just warming up and almost killed you. What makes you think you have the right to speak of seriousness before me?"
He stared intently at Yagyuu Kojirou, blood roaring in his body like a river, the sound rushing loudly, and strands of dark blue muscles surfaced, muscles on his back like a ghastly face, and in the blink of an eye, he swelled into a terrifying little giant of two and a half meters.
