Chapter 345 - Bring Down The Yukishiro Family (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the last moment of his life, the old men knew that there could only be one person in China who could summon a Dragon with a wave of the hand and kill a Kendo Grandmaster in one strike. He must be the most powerful Grandmaster in China, the third deadliest person on the Dark Roll: Chen Beixuan.
However, the moment of epiphany came too late for Kitaniwakawa.
Although he stood his ground before the whirling blade dragon for a few seconds, the Wind blades quickly gnawed through his Four Righteousness Protection Aura and into his flesh.
Kitaniwakawa excelled in blade techniques and possessed powerful internal force. However, Physique Refinement was not his strong suit and he was no match against the onslaught of a dozen or so wind blades. The sharp edges easily sliced through his flesh, bones and churned his entrails around like a grinder. He had to muster all the remaining True Energy inside of him to utter his last words.
Kitaniwakawa was dead!
The Kendo master who had presided over the Kyushu and s.h.i.+koku area was killed by Grandmaster Chen Fan with one strike. A few top leaders of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family who were lucky enough to survive the ordeal stood like statues in utter disbelief and shock.
“How is that possible?” Yukis.h.i.+ro Kōichirō murmured to himself.
He was one of the leaders of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family who had survived. People around him were all sliced and diced into pieces. Yukis.h.i.+ro Kōichirō wished that he could have died like his brother, Yukis.h.i.+ro Takes.h.i.+ so that he wouldn’t have to bear the weight of defeat.
Chen Fan possessed such terrifying power that he might as well be the devil himself. Who would have thought that such a G.o.dly power could exist in the real world? The Yukis.h.i.+ro family didn’t, and they had to pay the price for their oversight.
By then, Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio had finally shambled his way to the scene of the aftermath. He was staggered by what he saw and if not for the a.s.sistant of the servant, he would collapse to the ground.
“Grandpa, nice to see you again.”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa inched forward, pa.s.sing the dead body of Kitaniwakawa. She dislodged the Edge of Thousand Peaks from the ground and examined it.
The edge of the Uchigatana was ruined by countless chips. The body of the blade was covered with dried blood coated with fresh blood. Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa didn’t mind the messiness and she carried the Uchigatana with both hands, as she walked toward her grandpa, eyes burning with hatred and vengefulness.
“Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, what are you doing? I am your Grandpa.”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio chided with a booming voice. However, he couldn’t hide the panic and fear in his eyes.
If it was a few years ago, Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa would have already knelt on the ground obediently to let her Grandpa’s rain castigation and preaching on her. However, most elites in the Yukis.h.i.+ro family were dead, and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa no longer feared the old man.
“You offered me to a Demon G.o.d, and let it possess me. Didn’t you?”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa brought the Uchigatana around and tilted it upright. It was the starting stance of a Kendo attack, most j.a.panese, including Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, had learned it during Kendo cla.s.ses.
Seeing the girl had learned the dark secret about herself, Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio gave up the condescending timbre of his voice. “Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, my granddaughter, we had no choice. Grand Onmyoji Chizuru had demanded our offering personally, we couldn’t defy Lord Susano’s order.”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s face was hard and cold. The old man’s words seemed to have pa.s.sed through her with no effect. She slowly brought the Uchigatana above her head.
Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio trembled in fear and started to beg for his life. However, his pleading couldn’t mollify the roiling anger inside of Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. The old man was the Lord of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family, yet he was seen as insignificant as an insect.
“Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, spare his life, I have a question for him.”
A voice came up behind the girl.
“Yes, Master.” Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa lowered the Uchigatana and bowed to Chen Fan.
Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio finally registered Chen Fan’s presence. He looked at Chen Fan with great trepidation. This was the man who had broken Lord Susano’s spell and killed everyone in the Yukis.h.i.+ro family, including Kitaniwakawa. Messing with him was the biggest and the last mistake of the Yukis.h.i.+ro family.
“Honorable Lord, ask whatever you wish, I will tell everything.” Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio put on a pitiful face and he looked up at the young man while kneeling before him. He then said humbly and hopefully at the same time: “My lord, my family’s a.s.sets are worth over trillions of Yen, and our influence spread over the entire Kyushu underground world. We have branches in both f.u.kuoka and k.u.mamoto Prefecture. I will offer all those to you for free. Tell me, do you desire young fresh starlets or cla.s.sy hot-wives of politicians? One word from me, I can order them to crawl under your sheets and warm your bed.”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Chio was a cunning old fox, and he quickly realized that he would be safe if he could placate Chen Fan.
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was not a threat to him if he was under Chen Fan’s protection. Chen Fan must have helped Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa because of her beautiful charm, but it wouldn’t be difficult for the Yukis.h.i.+ro family to find someone even more attractive than Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa as her replacement. He could even force the most popular actress in j.a.pan to spend an intimate night with Chen Fan if the old man wanted to.
“No need, I have better options. ”
