However, the Northern Spiritual Energy was hidden by the sheath, so others couldn't see it at all.
At this mont, Kai Itta was already charging towards Ling Zhenfei, the blade carrying a strong Northern Spiritual Energy, slashing down at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei's mouth twitched into a slight smile, and just as Kai Itta's sword ca down, Ling Zhenfei suddenly made his move.
Everyone from the Watanabe Family was watching Ling Zhenfei, especially Hoshino Yuji, whose eyes were intensely focused on Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei had been in Tiancang Tower, watching the Ittō-ryū Classics for several days, surely gaining so insights from them.
Now his hand was on the sheath, and naturally, it was clear that he was preparing to use the Ittō-ryū technique.
Indeed, at this mont, Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword was unsheathed, revealing a flash of white light.
The white light, imbued with Northern Spiritual Energy, rushed towards Kai Itta.
Hoshino Yuji had a strange thought that this slash possessed a soul.
Originally, he thought his own swordplay was impressive, but upon seeing Ling Zhenfei's slash, he realized that the swordplay he had practiced for years was rely a joke.
At the very least, his swordplay had learned only the form, but not the soul within it.
Now Ling Zhenfei's sword truly had a soul.
After the slash, the world fell silent; Kai Itta, who had been so aggressive, now stood motionless.
Ling Zhenfei, who had already sheathed his sword, had done so just as quickly, with many people not understanding how he unsheathed or sheathed his sword.
It was as if a beam of white light had exited the sheath and then returned of its own accord.
Everyone was shocked as they watched the scene.
There was still so distance between Kai Itta and Ling Zhenfei when Kai was seen standing motionless. His sword had indeed been swung, but had obviously missed Ling Zhenfei.
Now Kai Masao's clothes suddenly shredded, revealing dark armor underneath. This armor was dark but emitted a dark red glow under the light.
Everyone was astonished and knew that this was the Kai Family's treasure, an armor not just anyone could wear.
But as everyone gasped, they saw Kai Itta's armor suddenly shatter and fall to the ground.
Ling Zhenfei's earlier slash had actually shattered the Kai Family's treasured Kai armor.
Everyone, whether from the Hoshino Family or the Kai Family, gasped in disbelief at what had just transpired.
Even Hoshino Yuji, at the Danwen Realm, was stunned, unable to believe that such a thing could happen. They wondered who else present had such power, to defeat Kai Itta of the Dawen Realm in one move.
No matter the gap between Kai Itta and Ling Zhenfei, Kai Itta was indeed of the Dawen Realm. Now it seed like soone at the lower Zhiyi state of Divine Sense.
It wasn't that Kai Itta was too weak, but that Ling Zhenfei was too strong.
The Kai Family mbers hurriedly ca to support Kai Itta.
Though that slash broke Kai Itta's armor, Kai Itta himself was unhard.
A few people supported Kai Itta, whose face had turned pale. He originally knew there was so gap between himself and Ling Zhenfei, but he thought his armor would even the odds.
This Kai heavy armor was the Kai Family's treasure. With it, he believed he could hold his own against Ling Zhenfei, but he never expected to be no match for even one of Ling Zhenfei's moves.
He simply couldn't comprehend how Ling Zhenfei's slash even happened.
Ling Zhenfei himself hadn't realized that the Ittō-ryū strike would be so powerful.
There is a theory in the world about speed: as long as the speed is fast enough, it can ignore all defenses.
Soone once conducted an experint by cutting a piece of paper into a round shape, using it as a saw blade.
When the cutting saw was sped up to its maximum, the thin sheet of paper could actually cut through steel, all because of speed.
As long as it's fast enough, it's sharp enough.
Ling Zhenfei's one slash was just that fast, and because it was fast enough, it shattered Kai Itta's heavy armor instantly. Ling Zhenfei waved lightly towards the Kai Family and said, "Go now, today I spare your life. I hope this can dispel your hatred."
Kai Itta shouted angrily, "Ling Zhenfei, though I cannot kill you, my hatred will never fade. One day, I will kill you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "For your son's life, you sent so many people to kill . In the end, wasn't it your own people who died?
Are those lives not lives as well? I killed your son, but the ones you sent to kill were killed by you, as you sent them to their deaths.
Won't the spirits of Kai Ryuuou and others haunt your dreams at night, asking why you sent them to die?"
Ling Zhenfei's words left Kai Itta speechless, for truly, those deaths were indeed related to them.
Ling Zhenfei didn't bother with Kai Itta anymore and headed inside the Hoshino Family's domain. Upon reaching the gate, he turned back to look at the Kai Family behind him and said, "I am Ling Zhenfei. If you want to kill , feel free to co find , but be quick, or I will be gone."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei did not look back and walked directly into the Hoshino Family.
Ling Zhenfei could not have anticipated that within a day, his feat of defeating Kai Itta with a single slash would spread throughout Bin Qi Wu, rapidly raising his fa in the Island Nation.
As for the ti, it wasn't that late, and everything outside remained so quiet.
He glanced at the sky, where the moonlight was bright and beautiful. For so reason, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of many people.
He wondered how many people now were simultaneously gazing at the sky.
Not under the sa sky, but under the sa round moon.
Lost in thought while gazing, Ling Zhenfei suddenly heard distant xiao music, the notes drifting softly like a lover's whispers in the night.
Ling Zhenfei found it rather strange, unsure of who was playing the xiao, and decided to head toward where the music ca from.
The music's origin wasn't far, and it didn't take Ling Zhenfei long to reach the place where the lody originated.
Upon seeing the place, Ling Zhenfei was very surprised, because it turned out to be a very peculiar two-story pavilion.
Atop the pavilion stood a person, dressed in white robes like snow, lightly swaying in the Spring Breeze.
As he got closer, the xiao music beca even more lodious, seemingly carrying endless longing for a lover, filled with sorrow.
Ling Zhenfei paused, realizing that the one playing the xiao was none other than Hoshino igetsu.
It was then that Ling Zhenfei rembered that, back at the Watanabe Manor, when he saw Hoshino igetsu enter the manor at night, Hoshino igetsu had a xiao and a fan tucked at his waist.
