The Current Breaker was just over a meter in length. It bore the hallmark of master weaponsmith Taōtsuka a few hundred years ago. It had been the prized possession of a great swordmaster during the Edo period and ended up in the hands of Takemiya Hiro nearly a hundred years ago. He had carried it with him during each and every battle in his life, big and small and had witnessed Takemiya Hiro’s unbroken win streak.

Takemiya Hiro didn’t have to use his legendary blade very often since he was able to deal with any opponent who was under the Immortal State level using the Blade Qi alone.

His internal force was extremely solid and condensed and once they were shot out of his system, it was as powerful as any well-made weapons. His Blade Qi attack would be an even headache for Erika, Lei Qianjue and Hua Yunfeng.

To Takemiya Hiro’s surprise, Chen Fan’s True Essence was much more powerful than his Internal Force, especially when it was combined with the Azure Wood Qi Blade. When Chen Fan was at the early-stage of Ethereal Enlightenment, the Azure Wood Qi Blade could deal with at the most mid-stage Transcendent State cultivators. However, now Chen Fan was confident to defeat even a late-stage Transcendent State Cultivator using the same technique.

“Clank!”

A flash of lightning pierced the night sky above the Tokyo Tower.

This flash of lightning was seen across the city. Many citizens of Tokyo looked up to see if it was going to rain. The night sky was covered by dark clouds and none of the onlookers underneath the tower knew what was going on at the top.

Everyone except for Erika and the martial artists around her.

They knew that the momentous battle had finally begun. Red Sparrow looked troubled. Chen Fan’s defeat would be a huge blow to the Chinese Martial arts community. After all, he was the future of Chinese martial arts.

Once Takemiya Hiro unsheathed The Current Breaker, he regained his composure.

Holding the blade in one hand, he looked haughty and overwhelming as a Sword Sage should be.

Takemiya Hiro lifted the blade with both hands and swinging it around in a flat sidearm slash. Another silvery Blade Auras lightened up the dark sky. This time, Takemiya Hiro didn’t spread out his Internal Force, instead, he concentrated them within the s.h.i.+mmering silvery blade.

“Ka-Ka-Ka.”

As the Azure Wood Qi Blade and the Silvery Blade Qi collided, they let out a series of crisp sounds.

The Azure Wood Qi Blade started to waver after a few rounds of exchange. The impact had put great strain on it and threatened to put it out. Chen Fan heaved a sigh in his mind. Azure Wood Qi Blade was made out of True Essence, and therefore could not endure repet.i.tive direct impacts against real weapons infused with internal force. Although the Azure Wood Qi Blade was able to break any ordinary weapon, the Current Breaker was nothing but ordinary. Worse, this extraordinary weapon was wielded by an extraordinary warrior: Takemiya Hiro.

Takemiya Hiro swung the blade around to his side as he turned his body in the same direction. Before he had finished his motion, a dozen blade auras had already shot out from the spinning blade at Chen Fan from all directions.

Suddenly, Takemiya Hiro flashed out of view and reappeared mere inches away from Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was unfazed by the series of strikes. He punched readily.

“Kaboom!”

A deep thunderous rumbling came out from the Void Dimension. It sounded like two giant stones grinding against each other. Chen Fan’s punch didn’t break the hypersonic barrier, but it was extremely fast. Force rippled from his fist and seem to have sent a tremor throughout the Void Dimension, threatening to tear away the boundary between reality and the other dimensions. Chen Fan doubled down on his attack, bringing more energy into the fist until it was so powerful that it could punch a hole through Mount Tai. It would have terrified and stupefied any ordinary Grandmasters.

However, Takemiya Hiro was not just any Grandmaster, he was only a half-step away from Immortal State.

He held the blade tightly in one hand and started to work on diminis.h.i.+ng the overwhelming Qi Energy using all sorts of sword techniques: poking, hacking, jabbing, blocking, sweeping, knocking and so on. In a blink, he had rained a dozen different attacks on Chen Fan and was able to drain away half of Chen Fan’s Blade Qi. In the end, he unleashed the final strike by combining all forms of attacks into one and the attack landed squarely on Chen Fan’s fist.

“Clang!”

The impact made a blaring din that sounded like bell chime at close distance. It was the kind of m.u.f.fled droning, instead, it was an explosive metal on metal clank with sharp reverberation.

The impact was not only a showdown of the two’s internal forces but also their external strength and level of physique refinement. The floor under both fighters gave in at the impact. Two sets of the footprint were deeply grooved into the steel floor of the Tokyo Tower.
