Fusang.
The Cabinet.
Jiang Shu’s figure was clearly visible on the large screen. Although by now, three Grandmasters, plus nearly a hundred soldiers, had died at his hands, not a trace of fear could be seen in the countenance of Fusang’s Minister of State Affairs within the hall.
No one knew better than them just how terrifying Fusang’s military strength was. Even if ten, or even a hundred, Grandmasters from Xia Country ca, to them, it was rely a matter of issuing an order. The reason for their hesitation thus far was also because they were waiting for a response.
With the dramatic changes in heaven and earth, every country in the world was enhancing personal martial strength and exploiting the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm to a great extent. The Freedom Country was like this, and Xia Country was no different. If Fusang wanted to truly stand at the pinnacle of the world, it had to make other countries believe that Fusang’s Martial Arts were far ahead of all others!
And this was an excellent opportunity!
Xia Country’s number one Grandmaster had co to Fusang. Suppressing him with military might would only make other smaller countries believe that Fusang’s Martial Arts were inferior to Xia’s. It would not only be considered an inglorious victory but would also easily stir controversy. The best approach would be to dispatch a Martial Arts Grandmaster of Fusang to slay Jiang Shu in battle. A show of Fusang’s national might!
"Pri Minister, we have already notified Ikenotani Sword God," soone said.
"Hmm, what are the chances?" the Pri Minister asked.
"The Sword God says he has found the path to that step and can break through at any ti. Xia Country’s Grandmaster has only reached the Blood Exchange Realm. Just one sword will determine life and death," ca the reply.
"Good." The Pri Minister, seated at the head, acknowledged with a slight nod, his face showing a hint of pleasure.
Ikenotani Seishun, the Sword God of Fusang, was one hundred years old. Even before the world had dramatically changed, he was Fusang’s number one Sword Dao Grandmaster. In the past, he had fought alongside the military and conquered many, slaying countless experts. Therefore, among Fusang’s many Grandmasters, the Sword God held a unique status, enjoying great fa both in the Cabinet and among the populace!
"Issue the order: no further military troops are to be deployed," instructed the Pri Minister. "It’s ti for the world’s Martial Artists and genetically evolved soldiers to witness the true strength of our Fusang Martial Arts!" he said conclusively.
If this battle was successful, Fusang’s Martial Arts would truly beco renowned worldwide. The impact would be comparable to winning a national war!
In today’s world, appearances of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm were increasingly frequent. The governnt could not keep it a secret for much longer. In the future, there would certainly be wave after wave of migration.
Fusang. Under his leadership, it must seize the initiative and leap to beco the leading nation in East Asia!
The Pri Minister’s gaze was resolute.
Soon, the news that the Sword God would challenge Xia Country’s number one Grandmaster in Tokyo spread, shocking the nation. All the Martial Artists of Fusang were looking forward to it.
"Sword God is finally making a move! Moreover, it seems that Ikenotani Sword God is about to truly take that step forward, right?" soone exclaid.
"This is paving a new path for our Fusang Martial Arts! The Sword God truly lives up to his na! No wonder my teacher said there are two types of Sword Dao Grandmasters in Fusang: one is Ikenotani Sword God, the other is everyone else," another said with admiration.
"What of Xia Country’s top Grandmaster? Surely, he is no match for Sword God. Decades ago, Sword God already made a na for himself on the land of Xia. Who knows how many people in Xia Country tremble at the re ntion of Sword God’s na," soone asserted confidently.
"Xia Country’s number one Grandmaster? Dead for sure!" another person claid.
On the Fusang Martial Artists’ forum, posts flew thick and fast, with countless Fusang Martial Artists from various cities rushing to Tokyo, all to witness victory at the earliest mont.
「anwhile.」
Jiang Shu was rely one hundred kiloters away from Tokyo!
His phone buzzed incessantly, receiving an urgent call from Shengjing.
"Grandmaster Jiang, according to sources, the Sword God of Fusang, Ikenotani Seishun, whom you are scheduled to fight, is suspected of being on the verge of breaking through to the Heaven-Earth transformation. If Grandmaster Jiang wishes to return, we can arrange an ergency evacuation," said the anxious voice on the phone.
Within Martial Arts Realms, each higher Realm is like a different heaven. If Ikenotani Seishun truly took that step, Jiang Shu’s journey there would undoubtedly end in death. Although, up to this point, Xia Country’s leadership couldn’t determine whether Ikenotani Seishun had truly broken through or if it was rely a bluff ant to defeat the enemy without a fight. But they dared not gamble, nor did they wish to. Compared to Ikenotani Seishun, who was already a hundred years old, Jiang Shu undoubtedly had a brighter future in Martial Arts. Only by avoiding the sharp edge for now could he achieve greatness later!
"No need," Jiang Shu replied as he hung up the phone and continued walking.
An ergency evacuation? Actually, he had already reached an unspoken agreent with the Fusang high command. If he went to Tokyo to challenge the Sword God, then no more troops would co to besiege him. And if he were to retreat—setting aside the implications such an act would have on Xia Country—the act itself would be enough to doom a great many undercover agents. Fusang, wishing to kill him to prove their martial prowess, would never let him retreat so easily.
He took step after step forward, his aura growing more concentrated. The killing intent surging through him had brought his White Tiger True Strength to the peak of the small success stage.
Fusang’s Sword God... Ikenotani Seishun... Has he really taken that step beyond the Blood Exchange Realm? I, for one, would like to see how this step in Fusang’s Martial Arts compares to Xia Country’s Essence Strength!
「The following day.」
「Dawn.」
A sliver of the red sun rose from the east, casting its light on every inch of the land.
「Tokyo.」
「Beneath the iron tower.」
In front of the vast square, Fusang’s Martial Artists had almost turned out in full. Scores of Grandmasters were positioned at the very front.
This battle was not only a contest between Martial Arts Grandmasters. It was also a battle for the fate of the nation!
Countless mbers of the security forces maintained order with barricades, urging pedestrians and tourists to an area well away from the action.
