ACSP: Chapter 88: The Kubikiribōchō is Broken, the Challenge from Japan's Strongest Samurai!

The next second.

As the dazzling blade light dissipated, electric currents surged outward.

Two figures imdiately retreated from the intersection of the blade flashes.

One of them fell from mid-air like a teor, smashing a huge crater into the ground and shattering the surrounding earth.

The other flipped several tis in the air before landing gracefully on a nearby large tree.

Seeing that the fallen person was Jiang Chen, Li Yanran and the others imdiately rushed over, wanting to pull him out of the deep pit.

However, at that mont.

Jiang Chen perford a kip-up and leaped out of the pit on his own.

"—Clang!"

Yet, the mont he jumped up, the Kubikiribōchō in his hand snapped into two with a crisp sound.

The front half of the blade fell and plunged straight into the ground by his feet.

"As expected of the ultimate secret technique of Iaijutsu, it's got so kick..."

Jiang Chen glanced down at the broken blade in his hand, his lips curling slightly. Then he looked up, his gaze fixed resolutely on Kurosaki standing on the tree branch.

He wasn't surprised that this Japanese samurai could snap the Kubikiribōchō in a single strike.

Because he had already recognized the strike the opponent just delivered.

Air-Rending Slash, the signature technique of Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron.

During the Fourth War, he had used this swordsmanship to cut off a portion of the God Tree.

While the Kubikiribōchō was one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, its durability wasn't particularly high.

In the original series, this blade broke quite often.

However.

This weapon had one advantage.

It could regrow its broken blade by drinking blood.

So what if the blade was broken?

It would be restored after killing a few more people.

"Jiang Chen, your sword broke..."

"I didn't expect this Japanese samurai to actually be able to snap your weapon."

"It seems I was right; he really is the strongest among these Japanese samurai..."

Li Yanran and the others had never used the Kubikiribōchō, so they didn't know about its unique properties.

Seeing Jiang Chen pushed back by Kurosaki and his weapon broken, they thought he had lost the clash, and their faces were filled with imnse worry.

If even Jiang Chen couldn't handle this Japanese samurai, his strength must be freakish.

Even if the four of them joined forces, they likely wouldn't be a match for him.

But just then.

Kurosaki suddenly plumted from the tree, and as he fell, his head and body began to separate.

Seeing this scene.

Li Yanran and the others widened their eyes in shock.

"Holy crap! This Japanese samurai actually died?"

"How can this be? Wasn't he just fine a mont ago?"

"I get it! Jiang Chen's strike must have been so fast that he didn't even realize his head had been severed until his body finally lost consciousness just now."

"Right, right, right! That's exactly how it's described in those martial arts novels I've read..."

...

Jiang Chen ignored Li Yanran and the others, flickering over to Kurosaki's corpse to search it.

Before long.

A scroll marked with the character 'Earth' appeared in his hand.

"It's the earth scroll! I didn't expect us to collect the quest items so quickly."

Seeing Jiang Chen retrieve the earth scroll from the Japanese samurai, Yuan Danqing shouted in excitent.

They already had a Heaven Scroll.

If they added this earth scroll.

It ant they had completed the first stage of the secret realm quest.

Completing the first stage in less than three hours—this speed was simply incredible.

Li Yanran and the others all showed excited smiles at the sight.

At that mont, out of the corner of her eye, Wang Shanshan spotted a Heaven Scroll in the hand of another Japanese samurai.

She rembered that this Heaven Scroll seed to have been taken by them from those three Rain Ninjas earlier.

Now that the opponent had beco a corpse.

The scroll was now an ownerless object.

Wang Shanshan walked over, picked up the Heaven Scroll, and after a mont's hesitation, tucked it into her backpack.

This was a quest item; rather than leaving it here for soone else, she might as well take it herself.

Perhaps this way, they could eliminate one competing team in the upcoming Arena Martial Arts Competition.

"Let's go, we need to turn in the quest first..."

Jiang Chen tossed the earth scroll in his hand to Yuan Danqing.

Since the other was the captain, he would naturally be the one to complete the quest handover.

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

Yuan Danqing caught the earth scroll and imdiately turned, speeding toward the Training Ground behind them.

Jiang Chen followed with the others.

...

anwhile.

Japan.

[Forest of Death] Secret Realm Entrance.

As a white light descended.

A disheveled figure was suddenly ejected from the secret realm.

It was Kuroki, who had just been killed by Jiang Chen.

"Kurosaki-kun? Why are you out as well?"

"Did that Contractor from the Great Xia Kingdom kill you too?"

"Impossible! Kurosaki-kun's Iaijutsu secret technique can heavily wound even an 80-plus level Kage-level Contractor. How could he not handle a guy who isn't even level 51?"

"Then how do you explain him dying in the secret realm?"

"Isn't it obvious? That despicable Great Xia Contractor must have used so dirty tricks."

"Yes, it must be so..."

Seeing that Kurosaki had also been killed and expelled from the secret realm, the Japanese samurai who had co out earlier all showed expressions of disbelief.

They couldn't believe it.

That Kurosaki-kun, hailed as the 'Strongest Samurai' in Japan, would actually lose to a Great Xia Kingdom Contractor in a mid-level secret realm.

However, in the face of his companions' doubts, a spark of fighting spirit ignited deep within Kurosaki's eyes.

He muttered resolutely, "That Great Xia Kingdom Contractor is an opponent like none I have ever seen. He is very strong. Losing to him is no disgrace, but next ti, I will definitely not lose again."

As soon as he said this.

The scene imdiately fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with unprecedented shock.

From Kurosaki's tone, it wasn't hard for them to see that he must have had a direct confrontation with that Great Xia Kingdom Contractor in the secret realm.

But in the end, he had lost.

Clearly.

That Great Xia Contractor's strength was definitely above his.

To think that the Great Xia Kingdom actually had such a master.

At that mont.

A Japanese samurai suddenly stared at his phone and shouted in disbelief, "I know who that guy we just t is. He is the recently famous, newly promoted Super-Kage Level Contractor from the Great Xia Kingdom..."

Hearing this, Kurosaki, who was originally planning to go back and rest, imdiately stopped in his tracks.

He turned back to look at the Japanese samurai and instructed him with a grave expression, "Kato-kun, please help find that person's contact information. I want to challenge him to another duel."
