g hard.When Xiao Yu finished melting and filling Yue Tianlin's broken bones, the white mysterious pattern extended towards his leg bone fracture again. Upon seeing this situation, Xiao Yu hurriedly re...Chapter 657: Fierce Battle (1)

After all,武藏一郎had already reached the realm of Master, although he was just a beginner. However, this level wasn't something ordinary late-nourishment-stage practitioners could compare to, and it was also Xiao Yu's first time facing such an expert; back then when he fought those two nourishment-stage experts on Treasure Island, he didn't feel anything like that.

Deep in his heart,武藏一郎was even more surprised. That kick which he was sure would work had been defused by Xiao Yu using such a method.

After沉思for a while,武藏一郎abruptly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu with a face full of shock, exclaiming: "Cultivator"

When he saw the way Xiao Yu used to deal with him, he started thinking about what kind of method it was that could be so strange. Suddenly, he recalled a special group called 'cultivators' in Huaxia that was on par with the yin-yang priests from his country! However, neither him nor his father had ever seen cultivators; they only knew about yin-yang priests.

At the same time, now he understood why Xiao Yu just appeared to be a normal person in his eyes. Although he didn't know much about cultivators, he did know that what cultivators cultivated was different from martial artists—just like how yin-yang priests were different. He had seen yin-yang priests before and knew their strangeness; furthermore, the voice transmission method Xiao Yu used earlier wasn't a normal technique either. This made him sure that Xiao Yu must be one of those legendary cultivators in Huaxia.

Although武藏一郎was surprised about Xiao Yu being a cultivator, he didn't fear it. When he was still late-nourishment-stage, ordinary yin-yang priests already couldn't do anything to him; now that he had reached the realm of Master, he felt even less afraid.

Although cultivators were different from yin-yang priests, they shared the same origin for their methods. He didn't believe that cultivators would be more powerful than yin-yang priests; if so, there wouldn't have been any reason for Emperor Ten to instigate the samurai and yin-yang priests to attack Huaxia back then.

Therefore, all he felt towards Xiao Yu being a cultivator was surprise, and also astonishment that Xiao Yu had just managed to block his kick.

"Matsukatsu, tell me when you last saw my father. If you confess honestly, I'll leave you some chance of survival; otherwise, today is the day your soul will be obliterated!"

After hearing武藏一郎's words, Xiao Yu neither confirmed nor denied it but looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Matsukatsu, tell me when you last saw my father. If you confess honestly, I'll leave you some chance of survival; otherwise, today is the day your soul will be obliterated!" Although his voice wasn't loud, hearing this made people involuntarily feel a chill.

This was actually killing intent—the killing intent contained in Xiao Yu's words earlier.

Musashi Ichiro's attack just now was clearly intended to take his life. This means that Musashi Ichiro must have a grudge against him because of his father. Consequently, Xiao Yu no longer held back and sent out an intense aura aimed directly at Musashi Ichiro.

"Haha..." Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Musashi Ichiro suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

Xiao Yu actually dared to threaten him! To think that a martial arts master like himself could be threatened was utterly preposterous. At present, Musashi Ichiro didn’t believe anyone in the world could threaten him. After all, throughout his eighty-year career in martial arts, masters of the Sage Realm had merely existed as legends. And yet, he now stood at this very level. He couldn’t possibly think that someone would dare to threaten him.

"Humph...," Musashi Ichiro sneered and said, "Little boy, come on then! I’ll see how you can make me lose my soul. Once you’ve defeated me, I will tell you where your dead father used to hang out!"

After his bout of insane laughter, he looked at Xiao Yu and coldly remarked.

Since things had already come to this point, there was no way for him to continue pretending to be the late Xiao Yu’s senior friend. Thus, when speaking with Xiao Yu now, his tone was sharp and stern.

Xiao Yu’s expression turned cold upon hearing Musashi Ichiro’s words, but he said nothing further. He knew that it would be impossible for threats to affect a martial arts master like Musashi Ichiro.

However, since Musashi Ichiro refused to speak, Xiao Yu had his own methods of finding out the information he needed. Although Musashi Ichiro was immensely powerful, Xiao Yu wasn’t completely without hope either.

"Clang..." Suddenly, a crisp metallic sound rang through the silent night air and with it came a flash of cold light in the dark sky. When this burst of light appeared, the temperature around Xiao Yu’s group suddenly dropped by several degrees, spreading an eerie chill throughout the entire port area.

Anyone walking into the port at that moment would have been stunned by the sudden drop in temperature inside compared to outside.

The sight of this cold light and its chilling presence made Musashi Ichiro’s heart race involuntarily. Although he was not afraid, he couldn’t help but be shocked by the malevolent aura emanating from it.

At this moment, when he saw that the burst of light originated from a dagger and realized that the malicious energy came from this weapon as well, Musashi Ichiro’s face actually revealed a hint of excitement.

He just took a brief look and knew that this dagger was no ordinary weapon. Moreover, the overwhelming aura of malevolence radiating from it made him feel astonished and thrilled when he saw it. He had reached the level of Master but hadn't found an appropriate weapon to match his cultivation yet. The sword he used before was not suitable for a Master-level warrior anymore, so the dagger in Xiao Yu's hand seemed like the perfect choice.

If this dagger were in his hands, it would definitely help him improve significantly. Thus, now he had another reason to kill Xiao Yu.

As Xiao Yu held the dagger and looked at Musashi Ichirou, he noticed the intense desire in Musashi's eyes that were fixed on the dagger. Seeing this look, Xiao Yu didn't say anything; instead, he quietly observed him without concealing the coldness in his eyes.

Since he had gained Zhong Kui’s memories, Xiao Yu had been extremely calm, even when killing someone. However, now that it involved his loved ones, his anger couldn’t be contained anymore.

As Xiao Yu's rage intensified, the killing intent within him was fully unleashed.

The lethal aura from the dagger combined with the murderous intent and malevolent energy filled the air, pressing against Musashi Ichirou in an overwhelming manner.

It should be noted that Xiao Yu’s killing intent came from Zhong Kui's memories. Who was Zhong Kui How could a mere martial arts Master resist his aura of death

Hence, the murderous intent and malevolent energy also affected Musashi Ichirou. He never imagined that such a young man as Xiao Yu could release an aura powerful enough to influence him.

How many people would one have to kill to accumulate such a strong aura of death As he stared at Xiao Yu, Musashi wondered how many lives this young man had taken.

The aura and murderous intent emanating from someone's body could not be faked. Thus, when Musashi looked at Xiao Yu, his expression changed drastically.

Now that he observed Xiao Yu, it wasn't like before when he ignored him. Before, the strangeness was due to Xiao Yu’s cultivation background; now, however, what he saw was real strength.

This aura and killing intent were not something a ninety-year-old man could possess even if they lived another century. The number of people one would need to kill to obtain such an aura was terrifying beyond imagination.

In his younger days, Musashi had seen some soldiers returning from China after losing battles there; they all had terrifying killing intents, yet the ones on Xiao Yu were incomparable in comparison.

Note that the slaughter caused by those people in Huaxia, as a martial arts master, he is naturally aware of it to some extent. However, now the killing aura on those people isn't even as thick as Xiao Yu's; how many people must Xiao Yu have killed to possess such a heavy killing aura

Just looking at his young age and considering that this is a time of peace, where would he find so many people for him to kill This is precisely what puzzles him the most. However, the killing aura and intent cannot be faked, therefore, he can only keep his doubts buried deep within.

"Roar..."

Feeling this intensifying killing aura and intent, Musashi Ichiro's expression drastically changed as he roared out loud and charged at Xiao Yu with great speed.

Musashi Ichiro's attack was extremely fast; so much so that under Xiao Yu’s eyes, all he could see were blurs of movement.

Seeing Musashi Ichiro charging like lightning, and even his own ability allowed him to only perceive a faint blur, Xiao Yu's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yu close his eyes, Musashi Ichiro did not reveal any smugness on his face; instead, a hint of gloominess appeared. Xiao Yu was so arrogant in front of him And he was even a master-level expert! This clearly showed disdain for him, so the attack that originally used only five percent strength suddenly surged to full power—ten percent. He wanted Xiao Yu to pay the price for his arrogance.

Actually, how could he know that this was precisely when Xiao Yu would perform at his peak.

The moment Xiao Yu closed his eyes, he had already entered a state of unity with heaven and man. With all of Xiao Yu’s yin souls fully recovered and even slightly enhanced, coupled with the increase in both cultivation level and mental realm during this period, when he focused inward to calm his mind and breathe deeply after closing his eyes, he was already in a state of unity.

When he entered this state, everything within a five-meter radius was under his perception. It seemed as if his eyes covered every inch of the area; even an ant passing through would leave traces that he could sense.

In this range, it felt like he was the ruler of this world—only regrettable that he couldn't control it.

When Musashi Ichiro’s figure entered this range, Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of joy. Originally, within this range, unlike Li Su jun who left no trace at all, Musashi Ichiro didn’t give him such an impression.reat misfortune for Zhang Dahai and company, a sense of unease had been gnawing at him.The closer Xiao Yu got to their location, the stronger this feeling grew. Since his divination, it felt as if the...
