Last night, the people of the Hoshino Family were severely injured, and their losses were even greater than those of the Watanabe Family. How could Watanabe Kazushi give up such a good opportunity?
Hoshino igetsu imdiately wanted to get up, but was held back by Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'll go out and check the situation. You should rest here well."
Hoshino Junka said, "I'll go with you."
The two of them went out, heading towards the source of the bell sound.
On the way, Ling Zhenfei said to Hoshino Junka, "Let's first observe the situation for a while. If we can avoid fighting, I'll try not to. The earlier I reveal myself, the less advantage it will bring us."
Hoshino Junka said, "I think this is just harassnt. The Watanabe Family shouldn't directly attack."
Without seeing the situation yet, everything is still unknown.
On the road, they kept seeing people from the Hoshino Family running towards the gate, clearly insinuating that if there is to be a battle, it'll be at the gate.
Hoshino Junka ntioned that it might just be harassnt, but they only realized a battle had begun upon reaching the gate.
The Iga-ryu people seed full of confidence and launched a direct attack on the Hoshino Family.
When Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino Junka arrived, the battle had already started. The door of the Hoshino Family was ablaze, and a group of people at the gate were hacking at each other with their swords.
Among them, one person, clearly with unusual strength, was standing afar, dressed in a leather coat, resembling a black beast at a glance.
mbers of the Hoshino Family attempted to attack this person, but his strength was formidable, sending the Hoshino Family mbers flying with a single move.
From this one move alone, it was evident that this person's strength was at the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary.
Such strength already qualified as a master.
Knowing that even the formidable figures of the Hoshino Family within the Dawen Realm were injured, and that even those in the Zhiyi Boundary were seriously hurt, the Hoshino Family dared to send a peak Zhiyi Boundary level person to challenge them.
Ling Zhenfei said to Hoshino igetsu, "This person is likely here to issue a challenge. His strength is just at the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary, and the rest are weaker, incapable of directly charging into the Hoshino Family."
Hoshino Junka was extrely upset seeing her family's gate destroyed, but her strength was rely at the early Zhiyi Boundary, unqualified to be this person's opponent.
"What should we do then? Watching him flaunt his power isn't an option."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This person ca precisely to show off. His divine sense is a probe into your family's strength, intending to see if there are still formidable opponents yet to make a move."
Hoshino Junka said, "Shouldn't we engage him in combat?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Many have already confronted him. Your presence won't make a difference. Once his goal is achieved, he will naturally leave."
Hoshino Junka looked at Ling Zhenfei curiously, unsure of why he was so confident.
Quite a few from the Watanabe Family had co, but this person's strength was at the peak of Zhiyi, and the Hoshino Family originally had few at that level. With injuries, a fight was even less feasible.
However, this person was also obviously aware of the nurous traps within the Hoshino Family, hence he hadn't been ambushed in his charge in.
They burned down the Hoshino Family's gate and injured many of their mbers, yet never took a step inside the gate.
As fewer people from the Hoshino Family ca out, that person started shouting towards those inside.
"Cowards of the Hoshino Family, co out! I've burned your gate, yet few dare to co out and speak. Are you afraid?
If so, I suppose there's no need to stay in Bin Qi Wu. What's all this Ittō-ryū? Just a bunch of cowards. Your gate's been smashed, and that's that."
"Today I've burned your gate. Soon I'll tear down your courtyard wall, then take your Celestial Maiden away to serve well."
Hoshino Junka was furious, drawing her sword to rush out, but Ling Zhenfei stopped her.
"Don't rush. Would charging out be of any use?"
Hoshino Junka angrily said, "But should he be allowed to be so arrogant? By tomorrow morning, the Hoshino Family will be a laughingstock."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If even at this mont, the Hoshino Family depends on a young girl like you to rectify the situation, they will be even more of a joke."
Hoshino Junka said, "But they've all been injured. How could they possibly co out to fight now?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry. This matter doesn't require your intervention."
Sure enough, when that young man was shouting so triumphantly, soone from the Hoshino Family couldn't contain themselves and acted.
A figure moved swiftly, arriving at the gate in an instant, standing before the man.
The young man was startled, then laughed: "Haha, soone finally erged. I thought the Hoshino Family were all shrinking turtles."
Behind this young man was a group of Iga-ryu ninjas in black clothing, who had just beaten a group of Hoshino Family mbers and were quite pleased with themselves.
Hoshino Junka was sowhat elated seeing the person who had stepped out, saying, "It's the Third Elder. With the Third Elder here, he won't dare to be arrogant anymore."
Ling Zhenfei also took a look, realizing that the person was likely one of those reclusively cultivating types, probably having reached the Dawen Realm.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Is the Third Elder not injured?"
Hoshino Junka, with a dim expression, replied, "He should be injured as well. In our family, the Third Elder is considered quite strong. Yesterday, he was the one directly fighting those two Huaxia people, and in the end, got struck, spitting a lot of blood."
Ling Zhenfei felt helpless; truly, the Hoshino Family didn't seem to have a better approach. The fact that even the injured Third Elder had to co forward was truly regrettable.
The Iga-ryu youth clearly recognized the Third Elder, laughing as soon as he saw him.
"Isn't this the Third Elder? You were injured last night, and yet today you still rushed out. It seems your Ittō-ryū really has no one left."
The Third Elder faintly smiled, "Even if there's no one left, dealing with you is still easy. You dare to co here and show off; it seems you've lived too long."
The young man's deanor slightly restrained as he said, "I am Iga-ryu's Yanshan Yongji, and now I challenge the Third Elder's prowess."
Right after saying this, Yanshan Yongji, like a mad dog, charged swiftly towards the Third Elder.
This Yanshan Yongji was at the state of the peak of Zhiyi Boundary, with a naturally formidable strength.
Even though the distance between him and the Third Elder wasn't far, his form changed several tis as he charged forward.
With formidable speed, multiple figures ultimately coalesced into one, and the spiritual energy in his hand surged towards the Third Elder.
The Third Elder, initially stationary, didn't move at all, but as Yanshan Yongji charged forward, the Third Elder also made his move.
