Thinking of this, Akita Shigeru raised his katana coldly and said, "Since you won’t speak, that’s fine! You just unleashed Sword Qi, so you must be a master of the blade. Draw your sword! I will make you admit who you really are!"
"Sword?"
Yang Tian listened to Akita Shigeru’s words, still expressionless, and said indifferently, "You are unworthy of knowing my na, and you don’t deserve to see my sword."
"Baka!"
Akita Shigeru’s veins bulged in anger. In an instant, he burst forward, closing the distance to Yang Tian. His katana transford into countless flashes of light, enveloping Yang Tian entirely.
The speed and density of his attacks blocked every path of retreat for Yang Tian, as if the next swing would surely kill him.
Facing Akita Shigeru’s assault, Yang Tian simply raised his hand, shaping his palm into the form of a blade, and began to strike through the air repeatedly.
In an instant, countless identical black crescents, like peerless treasure swords, surged forward to et the dazzling flurry from Akita Shigeru’s weapon.
Boom!
The clash of two titanic forces occurred in a flash.
A cloud of dust erupted, enshrouding the figures of both combatants entirely.
The high-ranking mbers of the Akita Family, who were watching from the sidelines, suddenly lost sight of them!
"Who won? Who lost? It’s too chaotic to tell!"
"Is there even a need to guess? Lord Shigeru just broke through that Chinese Martial Artist’s attack with a single strike monts ago. It’s obvious that Lord Shigeru is stronger! He will surely win!"
"Exactly! Lord Shigeru is one of Japan’s strongest warriors—how could he possibly lose to a Chinese?"
The higher-ups of the Akita Family, while watching the chaotic scene unfold in nervous anticipation, began voicing their opinions.
No matter what they said, they were unanimously convinced that Akita Shigeru would erge victorious from this duel.
Yet as everyone focused on the scene, the dust began to clear, revealing Akita Shigeru’s silhouette holding his sword.
When the high-ranking mbers of the Akita Family saw this, they erupted in cheers.
So of the family elites, who had managed to survive onlookers among the chaos, even began stepping forward towards the battlefield.
Their intention was to seize Yang Tian and bring him before Akita Shoma, the Akita Family Head, to force him to kneel and repent for his actions!
Clang!
But before those family elites could get close, the clear sound of tal hitting the ground echoed suddenly.
Everyone could see Akita Shigeru’s katana slipping from his trembling hands, clattering to the earth.
At that mont, a cold wind swept through, blowing the dust away completely to reveal another figure!
A figure completely unhard!
"He... he’s unscathed?"
Upon seeing Yang Tian’s pristine appearance, the mbers of the Akita Family were utterly shocked!
The ferocity of the battle monts ago, followed by this sudden calm, made it impossible for them to believe it had ended in a truce. One of the two had definitely been defeated!
But now that Yang Tian stood perfectly unhard, his garnts unruffled, the only conclusion was that the one who lost was not Yang Tian but...
At this thought, everyone turned their attention back to Akita Shigeru and realized sothing was wrong!
Akita Shigeru’s body was trembling uncontrollably. His once jet-black hair had turned brittle and yellow, and the hand gripping his sword was riddled with wrinkles, resembling that of an aged old man nearing death!
"It... it’s you after all!"
After an unquantifiable silence, Akita Shigeru’s raspy voice finally spoke, "Before you, I truly am not worthy..."
Boom!
As his words finished, Akita Shigeru’s body collapsed with a thud and disintegrated into a pile of fine dust.
It was then that the Akita Family mbers noticed Yang Tian slowly withdrawing his hand, a black vortex gradually dispersing from his palm.
Among those alive in China, only one person possessed such a devouring ability and the strength to destroy Akita Shigeru while remaining unscathed.
That person was China’s strongest Martial King, Yang Tian, a peerless powerhouse who could slay Innate and even kill legendary figures as easily as crushing ants!
Until his demise, Akita Shigeru never realized that the legendary Yang Tian, whom he had previously discussed with his brother Akita Shoma, now stood in front of him.
Akita Shoma had once argued that Yang Tian’s abilities might have been exaggerated. But now, Akita Shigeru didn’t even get to see Yang Tian draw his blade before eting his end.
Seeing Akita Shigeru, once heralded as one of Japan’s mightiest warriors, crumbled to dust at Yang Tian’s feet, the high-ranking mbers of the Akita Family froze in place, petrified. Their mouths gaped open, yet no words ca out.
"This... this can’t be possible! This isn’t real! It can’t be real! I must be dreaming! Yes, this is a dream! How could Lord Shigeru die?"
The high-ranking mber who had been ready to berate Yang Tian earlier now appeared ntally unhinged.
He simply couldn’t comprehend the sheer scope of Yang Tian’s power!
Even soone as mighty as Akita Shigeru was no more than an insect before him. With Akita Shigeru dead, what could the Akita Family possibly do to resist Yang Tian?
How had the Akita Family drawn the wrath of such a monster?
Yet surprisingly, the Akita Family Head, Akita Shoma, remained composed. Though traces of pain for his brother’s tragic death and fear of Yang Tian flickered in his eyes, he managed to repress the hatred in his heart as he slowly approached Yang Tian and said, "Honored Chinese warrior, you—"
Before Akita Shoma could even finish his words, Yang Tian pressed a single hand against his head and coldly sneered, "Don’t speak, or it will hurt more!"
Don’t speak, or it will hurt more?
What did that an?
Before Akita Shoma could even process the statent, an indescribable pain erupted from the depths of his mind, forcing an anguished scream from his lungs.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!"
In that instant, Akita Shoma’s screams rang out like thunder, deafening every mber of the Akita Family who heard it.
This was Akita Shoma, after all!
He was the most accomplished Family Head in the history of the Akita Family!
The Akita Family owed its current size and influence not only to the strength of Akita Shigeru but also to Akita Shoma’s exceptional leadership!
Yet now, such a sagacious and resolute figure knelt pathetically under Yang Tian’s palm, wailing in misery, his tears and mucus mixing as they flowed uncontrollably.
The once shrewd and collected Akita Shoma now looked like a broken old fool.
For a mont, a bizarre scene unfolded within the Chunyang Grand Shrine.
The blood-soaked Yang Tian stood with his hand pressing firmly on Akita Shoma’s head, while the Akita Family’s high-ranking mbers stood there in dazed silence, watching but daring not intervene as though paralyzed.
Ti seed to stretch endlessly.
Eventually, Yang Tian withdrew his hand, sneering, "Heh, so that’s how it is. It seems this Power of Otohi will indeed serve well."
With that, Yang Tian turned and strode towards the wooden house where Akita Shoma had previously held counsel. The high-ranking mbers of the Akita Family automatically stepped aside, forming a path, their bearing entirely subservient.
In the face of strength, the Japanese bowed willingly, even if the one before them had just slaughtered their kin monts prior. This, perhaps, was the so-called servility!
As for Akita Shoma, he knelt there like a drooling idiot, grinning foolishly...
Yang Tian’s blood-soaked massacre within the Chunyang Grand Shrine had been carried out without the slightest attempt at concealnt.
