Miyamoto Musashi resided near the mountain top. Usually, unless sothing particularly important happened, even significant figures of the Musashi School were not allowed to enter and exit freely.
Basically, those who lived here were people very close to Miyamoto Musashi, such as his disciples...
Despite how domineering that old rascal Miyamoto Musashi was, even involving himself with Kawada Musashi's wife, he remained solitary, without any children under his na.
Perhaps this was why Kawada Musashi endured silently for so many years without finding an opportunity; apart from Miyamoto Musashi, there were nearly no obvious flaws to exploit.
And Miyamoto Musashi himself was the greatest hazard. If Kawada Musashi could eliminate him, he wouldn't have waited in vain for over a decade...
However, the appearance of Qin Fang and others indeed offered Kawada Musashi a glimr of hope. To be precise, Kawada placed his hope not in Qin Fang himself but in the potential colossal influence behind Qin Fang.
Whether it was the Yagyu family or the Ando family, they were powers that Kawada Musashi couldn't contend against, and they were sufficient to challenge Miyamoto Musashi.
Even if Qin Fang and the others failed this ti and were trapped by the Musashi School, such many experts wouldn't be lost in vain by any family, which would only attract more experts...
If not once, then twice or thrice, Kawada Musashi didn't believe he couldn't take down Miyamoto Musashi, even if only to seriously injure him, Kawada could deal with him!
Kawada Musashi acted decisively, imdiately finding an excuse to draw away two other grandmaster-level experts.
Simultaneously, he made proper arrangents for his loyal disciples, sending those loyal to Miyamoto Musashi to the knives of Qin Fang and others.
Since he had decided to kill with a borrowed knife, he naturally had to strike hard. Apart from the few grandmaster-level experts, no one else in the Musashi School could withstand the slaughter by Qin Fang's group, so it was better to eradicate Miyamoto Musashi's disciples, cutting off most of his wings, which was undoubtedly a favorable outco for Kawada Musashi...
Of course, to prevent the failure of this action, Kawada didn't make it too obvious, at least leaving a good number of disciples from the other two grandmaster-level experts!
With this favor, after eliminating Miyamoto Musashi, Kawada Musashi would find it easier to ascend as Sect Master, encountering less resistance.
And after Kawada attracted the two grandmaster-level experts away, Qin Fang and the others quickly gathered and moved towards the mountain's peak. Their target, of course, was Miyamoto Musashi!
"Young Master Qin, are we really going to make a move against Miyamoto Musashi?"
When Hattori Sanzo heard this news, his face beca quite peculiar, mixed with deep surprise and fear.
Miyamoto Musashi, as a notable expert in the Japan martial world, had been dominating for decades, with many wishing him dead—not a thousand, surely eight hundred.
Yet, through all these years, Miyamoto Musashi had lived well, while few of his enemies ended up in a good state, and he even eradicated at least two small ninja sects...
As for those who died at the hands of this old ghost, they were innurable!
Although there were rumors that Miyamoto Musashi had suffered a Qigong deviation and was paralyzed, the truth was unclear, especially after they entered the Musashi School; even Hattori Sanzo felt sowhat deceived.
But at this mont, Qin Fang proposed to directly attack Miyamoto Musashi... Even with Kawada Musashi pulling away the other two grandmaster-level experts, their group's strength was still not enough to contend against Miyamoto Musashi!
The Master Level Peak expert was overwhelmingly powerful; even soone like Hattori, also a grandmaster-level martial artist, wasn't Musashi's match, let alone with his current state having lost a wrist, reducing his strength significantly!
If Miyamoto Musashi was indeed paralyzed, they might still have a great chance, but if not, then they would probably face a road to death!
"Don't worry, I have my way..."
Qin Fang smiled slightly, speaking nonchalantly, seeming not at all worried.
Seeing Qin Fang's response, initially Ji Xiang and the others were a bit anxious, but now they felt notably relieved.
The bond between them and Qin Fang wasn't one of sacrificing for each other, but it was close enough to live and die together.
Knowing Qin Fang wasn't the type to take reckless risks, his decision indicated a level of certainty...
It was just like when they forcibly broke into the Japan Wanderers' lair; without Qin Fang having determined that there was only one grandmaster-level expert, they wouldn't have risked it.
If there had been two grandmaster-level experts, they would have surely been dood in that place...
Now it was the sa, Miyamoto Musashi was indeed extrely terrifying, and even the five of them together might not match him.
Yet Qin Fang still chose to take action, which ans he definitely had a way or thod to close the gap between them.
This action undoubtedly carried significant risk, but similarly, the rewards would be imnsely great... Not just for Qin Fang alone, but every one of them would gain substantially!
Take Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong, these two fellows were slightly excited, both pondering whether they could leverage this life-and-death battle to elevate themselves to Grandmaster Level...
Unlike Qin Fang, they have been stuck at Master Level Peak for a long ti, particularly Monk Wukong, who has been a Semi-Grandmaster for ages, just one step away from reaching the final pinnacle!
Just like when the Bloody Demon Tu San forced Qin Fang to break through, now Miyamoto Musashi might turn this crisis into an advantage...
Miyamoto Musashi stayed in the most luxurious building of the Musashi School, although not the largest in area, the conditions were undoubtedly the best.
This place was perched atop a high mountain, surrounded by foggy clouds, resembling an ethereal paradise, with undeniably beautiful scenery making one want to linger.
Though this wasn't at the peak, there was only a vertical drop of twenty to thirty ters, which was rather close.
It was this simple drop that crafted a remarkably beautiful scene, with a silver stream cascading from the sky, pleasing the eye trendously.
This waterfall plumted into the shimring waters below... This pond had a rather grand na—Fulong Pond!
Legend has it that a giant dragon lay hidden beneath the pond; though no one had truly seen it, the Musashi School perpetuated such tales.
Even the Musashi School's revered totem is a fierce dragon... Yes, a fierce dragon, a black one, supposedly the one beneath the pond!
Regarding these tales, Qin Fang certainly did not believe them, and neither did the few people by his side.
Of course, it wasn't that Qin Fang didn't believe in the existence of dragons; he just didn't believe a dragon would reside in such a small pond.
However, Qin Fang's reliance on dealing with Miyamoto Musashi was pinned on a seemingly ordinary pond...
...
In this luxurious building, there's a room quite close to Fulong Pond, so close that opening the window reveals the waterfall cascading down, with the moist mist easily perating the room.
At this mont, there's a person quietly lying on a simple bed inside the room, covered in a brocade quilt, yet still looking in remarkably good health.
By the window stands a man in his thirties, slightly hunched, silently listening to the person on the bed speak.
"Have the two from the Kawada Family made any moves?"
However, the man lying on the bed started off asking this question.
Within the Musashi School, only one family bears the Kawada na, making it clear who he referred to, undoubtedly shocking Kawada Musashi and his son.
"There's no movent at present; they seem to be worried about Master's injury being real..."
The slightly younger man responded calmly, but imdiately thought of sothing else and couldn't help but ntion it.
"But just now, that old Kawada Musashi invited Elders Domoto and Akagi over; I don't know what it's about..."
Clearly, everything within the Musashi School was under control, wielding such strong control that Kawada Musashi dared not act rashly.
"Just petty clowns, not worth worrying about..."
The one lying on the bed frowned, seemingly puzzled, but soon relaxed, speaking dismissively.
"Keep an eye; recently, people from the Yagyu and Ando families might co over..."
Disregarding Kawada Musashi, a Grandmaster Mid-Stage Expert, there were others he needed to guard against, and coincidentally, the nas Kawada Musashi ntioned aligned with his expectations.
The man lying on the bed was none other than Qin Fang's target on this trip, the ruler of the Musashi School, Miyamoto Musashi.
Miyamoto Musashi was already over sixty years old, slightly younger than Kawada Musashi, but still looked in his forties, likely appearing similar to Kawada Masami.
Yet, this seemingly young man was indeed the renowned master of the Japan Martial World, Miyamoto Musashi, a fierce fighter with countless blood on his hands...(To be continued.
