Chapter 343 - A Slaughter (2/2)

The remaining henchman looked to their leader.

Bead-sized sweat seeped out of Taro Nakagawa’s forehead as he faltered. He was the captain of the village guard and was responsible for the security of the family lords. All these men were under his command.

Even as the guard captain, it was the first time he had ever seen anyone as mighty as Chen Fan. He was certain that the only person he knew who could hold off Chen Fan was Grandmaster Kitaniwakawa. But how was that even possible? The young man’s age was probably less than half of Kitaniwakawa’s.

“Clank!”

Even as the rest of the villagers hesitated, Chen Fan took a step forward and hacked at the crowd using Blade Qi.

The scintillating Blade Qi looked like an Uchigatana and its azure incandescent glow turned into a blurry smear of shadow. The Blade Qi had severed the air and created a vacuum behind. As the air rushed back into the vacuum, it created a violent explosion. The Blade Qi didn’t stop, it sliced through the rest of the villagers as if cutting through b.u.t.ter.

Chen Fan concluded the confrontation with two short and swift attacks and killed nearly forty elite guards of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family. These villagers had all undergone intense training at Kendo Dojos. Some of them were Karate black belts and some were Aikido masters. Any one of them would have held themselves while facing attacks from multiple fronts. However, Chen Fan had only effortlessly flicked his fingers twice and ended all of their lives.

Even after being used twice, the Blade Aura was still glowing like a flame in the night sky.

While Chen Fan was in the Foundation Establishment level, Chen Fan had to struggle to kill Linbao by casting out his True Essence. However, now he had reached the Ethereal Enlightenment level and his True Essence had grown as vast as an ocean. The Blade Aura would sustain a hundred if not a thousand times of repet.i.tive use.

“Fire! Fire at him!”

The Yukis.h.i.+ro family members who caught the terrifying sight could no longer remain calm. There was no time to wait for the guard captain’s orders, so they took the matter into their own hands and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, bullets came toward Chen Fan from all directions like a metal downpour. He was surrounded by at least a dozen firearms, and other than smaller handguns, there were many submachine guns and heavy machine guns. Many of these guns were made in America and were well known for their devastating damage output.

These American made machine guns could cut down a large tree, and sever a man in half from the waist. Most ordinary Grandmasters would not be able to escape their death when they were surrounded by these heavy weapons.

“Ah!”

Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa covered her eyes and crouched.

Everyone knew how deadly modern firearms were and therefore the girl was convinced that Chen Fan’s fate was sealed.

Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s conviction was shared by everyone in the Yukis.h.i.+ro family. They kept pulling the triggers as a fit of violent thrill seized their minds.

“Die, you freak!”

Many people expected to see a dead Chen Fan on the ground, body covered with bullet holes.

To their surprise, what greeted them was a stunning sight.

Chen Fan’s body was glowing incandescent azure and the light was turning brighter by the second. Soon, the light illuminated the area surrounding Chen Fan, forming a protective s.h.i.+eld. Countless bullets landed on the s.h.i.+eld and simply bounced off. At each impact, the s.h.i.+eld s.h.i.+mmered a little but remained intact.

“How is that possible?”

Everyone, including Taro Nakagawa, was stupefied by what they saw. Sensing there was no longer danger about, Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa opened her eyes and was shocked to see countless bullets lodged in the field of glowing light. It was as if the s.h.i.+eld was embellished by many bronze flowers.

“Master really is a sage!”

Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa exclaimed in her mind as a wave of veneration and reverence rose in her.

If not for the inconvenient circ.u.mstance, she would kneel before Chen Fan and beg to follow him for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, the villagers and the Yukis.h.i.+ro family members were stupefied by the turn of the event. Many even let go of their triggers and stood idly, trying to make sense of the situation.

“BaaDa!”

Chen Fan took a step forward.

His movement startled his opponents. They cried out for help and ran away, throwing away their weapons to run faster. Try as he might, Taro Nakagawa could no longer rally the routed fighters.

The young man must be a monster, otherwise, how come he was bulletproof?

It was already too late for them to run away. Chen Fan flicked his finger with each step he took, sending out wind blades from the tip of his fingers. These wind blades ripped open the air and whizzed toward the backs of the deserters.

These Wind blades were formed by Essence Qi and was hard enough to cut through metal. They cut into the deserter’s bodies and sliced them into halves from the middle.

One step, two steps, three steps.

After Chen Fan unleashed the seventh wind blade after he took the seventh step, the body count in the village had reached the hundreds. The rest of the villagers who looked at the disaster unfold turned tail and ran for home.

Chen Fan had squelched Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio’s impenetrable fortress as he would to a piece of tofu.

By then, Kitaniwakawa and the leaders of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family had finally made their way to the village entrance. Kitaniwakawa was shocked by how bad the situation was. He then looked at the young man warily, digging in for a tough fight.
