When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 126, Section 125: A Silent Strike, the Royal Princess! Eliminating Wang Xiao's Chance?
Everyone at the Aikido martial arts school, as well as the onlookers, were stunned by Wang Xiao's entrance.

As the dust slowly settled, Wang Xiao's figure gradually came into clear view.

Wang Xiao glanced at the densely packed crowd gathered at the entrance of Aikido and immediately realized that many of them were not actually members of Aikido.

Unlike the Itō Ittō-ryū Martial Arts Hall earlier, where the people gathered at the entrance were all the hall's own disciples.

Many of the people at the entrance to Aikido wore different clothes and had different auras, clearly indicating that they were not from the same lineage or school, but rather masters from other island nation martial arts schools invited by Aikido.

Clearly, Aikido was already making preparations after watching Wang Xiao's performance in yesterday's match.

Wang Xiao immediately clasped his hands in greeting to everyone and said, "China, the Six Harmonies, the Wang Clan, Wang Xiao, have come to pay our respects..."

With an explosive burst of energy, Wang Xiao's voice, imbued with the Tiger Roar technique, was clearly heard by everyone within a radius of several meters. Most of the ordinary disciples turned pale instantly and were momentarily dazed, while the stronger ones were also stunned and stiffened for a moment.

Only the people at the very front were least affected, but their expressions weren't very good either.

Obviously.

Wang Xiao's entrance and his tiger-like roar made everyone feel immense pressure once again, and they realized Wang Xiao's terrifying strength.

There were three people in the lead, including an old man dressed in samurai clothes, who was the current head of Aikido, Inoue Yoshi.

The other two were a man and a woman: a middle-aged man with a samurai sword hanging from his waist and a young woman dressed in a moon-white Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing).

The young woman dressed in Hanfu didn't look like a martial artist. She had an exquisite and delicate appearance, and stood there looking weak and frail. Wearing Hanfu, she seemed to come from China, not from an island nation. However, her pitiful and fragile temperament matched many people's impression of women from island nations.

However, Wang Xiao could sense a blazing internal energy emanating from this young woman. With each breath, her body was accumulating immense power, and a condensed tiger's roar was counteracting and neutralizing his own.

He is very strong, and he also practices Tiger Form Fist. Perhaps he has already reached the perfect state, otherwise his Tiger Roar and Fierce Tiger True Meaning would not be able to compete with Wang Xiao's Tiger Roar and White Tiger True Meaning.

A slight smile appeared on Wang Xiao's lips; the island nation still had some historical depth.

The elderly man in the middle, Inoue Yoshi, clasped his hands in greeting to Wang Xiao and said, "Master Wang, hello! We at the Aikido Martial Arts Hall have no misunderstandings with you, have we? Why make things so tense?"

Wang Xiao glanced at the Aikido signboard and said calmly, "Give me Inoue En, and this signboard, then I'll leave."

The many Aikido disciples behind Inoue Yoshikazu all looked somewhat angry and helpless upon hearing this.

They had just learned from Zhang Zhenhua's live stream and other reports what Wang Xiao had done at the Ito Itto-ryu martial arts dojo: he had defeated the combined forces of Ito Hiroshi and Ito Makoto with overwhelming strength, caught Ito Hiroshi's sword with his bare hands, and snapped it in two, only suffering minor injuries to his hand.

Finally, Wang Xiao forced Ito Hiroshi and his son Ito Makoto to kneel down, completely crushing Ito Ittō-ryū under their feet before leaving.

then……

Wang Xiao then arrived at their Aikido place.

Inoue Yoshi had contacted many masters in the Japanese martial arts world and royal family members in advance to gather here to wait for Wang Xiao, because he did not want to submit and wanted to preserve the face of Aikido and the Japanese martial arts world.

If he were Ito Hiroshi, he would rather commit seppuku on the spot than kneel down and beg for mercy from Wang Xiao.

Upon hearing Wang Xiao's words, Inoue Yoshi immediately said, "Impossible! Master Wang, what happened in the competition yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Moreover, matters of the competition should be resolved within the competition itself. Inoue En has already paid the price and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. Please, Master Wang, do not bring the grudges from the competition to the present and involve other innocent people..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "You mean it's a misunderstanding that he teamed up with others to attack me! And you're saying you're all innocent people?"

Looking at Wang Xiao's cold smile, Inoue Yoshi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because this is simply a sophistry and excuse!

And the next second!
Wang Xiao suddenly burst forth, his figure appearing in front of Inoue Yoshimi across a distance of two meters like a phantom.

Inoue Yoshi was startled, even though he was on high alert and mentally prepared for Wang Xiao to make a move at any moment.

but……

When Wang Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him, he was caught off guard and startled.

because.

Wang Xiao was too fast; in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, like a teleportation scene in a movie.

The two people next to Inoue Yoshi were also taken aback.

Wang Xiao did not pause at all. Standing in front of Inoue Yi, he raised his hand and threw a punch. His internal energy exploded, his fascia bulged, and his cannon force condensed. Just as he raised his hand, a tiger's roar rang out from nowhere. The White Tiger True Intent exploded, which directly shocked Inoue Yan. In an instant, his face turned pale, and his internal blood and qi could not circulate effectively for a moment!

and so!
Inoue Yoshi only had time to raise his hands to block in front of him before Wang Xiao's punch came flying in. The simple punch struck Inoue Yoshi's hands with a cracking sound, and the bones in both arms shattered on the spot. At the same time, he flew backward, his sternum shattered, his internal organs almost broken, and a mouthful of blood splattered in the air.

This was still the result of Wang Xiao not using his full strength. If Wang Xiao had used his full strength in that punch, Inoue Yoshi might have been smashed to pieces on the spot.

but!

At the same time Wang Xiao made his move.

The two people standing next to Inoue Yoshi attacked at the same time.

The middle-aged man's arm jerked, and with a whoosh, a flash of light appeared. A beam of white light shone directly into Wang Xiao's eyes, affecting his vision. This was the same sword light refraction technique he had used with Ito Hiroshi, which caused the opponent to be blinded for a moment and then ended the battle instantly.

and……

With a flick of his wrist, the middle-aged man thrust the blade directly into Wang Xiao's throat, producing only a faint, almost imperceptible sound.

Moreover, Wang Xiao heard this faint sound thanks to his powerful hearing. If it were a weaker expert, they might not have heard it at all. For them, this strike would have been silent and unavoidable.

His vision was momentarily blinded, and he could no longer hear the sound of the blade cutting through the air!

This strike was almost impossible to dodge.

The thrust is the technique in weaponry that involves the least contact with the air, so it also produces the least noise.

but.

Wang Xiao heard it.

They caught that faint, almost imperceptible sound of something breaking through the air.

Any movement will inevitably affect the air, causing it to vibrate and produce sound, only the volume may vary. Although the middle-aged man had tried his best to minimize the vibration of the air with his thrust, Wang Xiao still heard that faint sound of air being cut.

Wang Xiao dared not be presumptuous.

Having just met Hiroshi Ito at the Ito Itto-ryu Martial Arts Hall and learned about the strength of a master who achieves perfect harmony between man and sword and the destructive power of weapons, Wang Xiao now holds a basic level of vigilance and respect for weapon masters.

So, upon hearing that faint sound of a blade piercing through.

Wang Xiao instantly raised both hands, intending to use his palms to clamp the blade, instead of using his hands to grab the other person's blade.

Because he was wary that his opponent might also be a master of the unity of man and sword. If the hidden energy condensed on the blade were to erupt, his already injured hand would not be able to withstand it, which might worsen the wound left by Ito Hiroshi earlier, or even damage the tendons and bones of his hand.

Once the tendons, ligaments, and bones are injured, the recovery time will be very long, and in severe cases, it may not be able to recover completely, leaving permanent hidden injuries.

and so.

Wang Xiao raised both palms together in prayer.

The middle-aged man's blade was already upon Wang Xiao.

at the same time.

The young woman in the moon-white Hanfu next to him suddenly stepped forward, raised her hand and made a simple and direct horse stance punch. Her seemingly snow-white and delicate fist went straight for Wang Xiao's chest. Her blood and qi condensed and she also let out a tiger's roar.

Clearly, this woman in Hanfu also possesses an extremely high level of skill in Tiger Form Fist.

Wang Xiao felt a wary roar emanating from the White Tiger True Meaning within him. He could sense that the woman's seemingly weak punch was actually more threatening than the middle-aged man's silent slash.

Wang Xiao's thoughts raced like lightning. In an instant, instead of retreating, he advanced, precisely clamping the blade between his palms. He took a step forward, not giving the Hanfu-clad woman enough time to gather her strength. At the same time, he slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging her vital points, and used his shoulder to collide with the Hanfu-clad woman's punch.

boom!
However, the next second, Wang Xiao's hands trembled slightly, and the wounds on his palms that had just scabbed over were shaken open again, and blood splattered out.

Wang Xiao glanced at the middle-aged man wielding the knife with surprise. The man was indeed a top-tier weapon master, a true embodiment of the unity of man and blade.

However, what is condensed on the blade is not the chopping force that can perfectly match the sword technique, but a strange spiral drilling force, which rotates and destroys at a point like a drill bit, which can greatly increase the lethality of a point. It is a hidden force method specifically for breaking through hard skills such as Iron Shirt.

Clearly, the other party came prepared.

They specifically use drilling force to break through his internal Iron Shirt technique, and combine it with silent assassination techniques. Once they strike Wang Xiao's vital points in the chest and abdomen, he could be severely injured.

Unfortunately, the opponent's internal strength and cultivation were still not very strong. Although he was a little stronger than Ito Hiroshi, the difference was still limited.

Human energy and time are ultimately limited. If one becomes obsessed with the art of swordsmanship, then one will inevitably abandon other martial arts.

A hundred years ago, China produced many masters. Among them, only the Divine Spear Li Shuwen was able to cultivate both internal martial arts and weaponry to an extremely high level. Others, such as the Great Saber Wang Wu and the Sword Saint Li Jinglin, although they also reached the state of unity between man and weapon, were not strong in internal martial arts.

The martial arts field in island nations lacks a deep foundation, making it even more difficult to produce genius masters who can cultivate multiple skills to an extremely high level.

However, the drilling force condensed in the blade still caused Wang Xiao's hands to tremble, his wounds to burst open, and the internal energy he had gathered on the shoulder of the woman in Hanfu almost dissipated. When he collided with the woman's fist, he instantly felt a powerful and condensed cannon force erupt, which directly knocked Wang Xiao back a step before he could regain his footing.

The scene quieted down!

The surrounding spectators and many Japanese masters gathered on the Aikido side looked in astonishment at the Hanfu-clad woman who had knocked Wang Xiao back with a single punch, and the middle-aged man who had delivered a silent, deadly stab.

Seeing Wang Xiao injured and bleeding, and taking a step back, many people in the island nation cheered.

"That's fantastic! Our island nation's martial arts are the best!"

"Why is that woman wearing Hanfu? Is she going to betray us?"

"Kill that Chinese warrior and make him pay the price."

"With so many of you attacking together, let's take him down."

"kill him!"

"What are the others doing? Let's all attack and kill him!"

……

Many people egged him on, urging the people at the entrance of Aikido to attack together and kill Wang Xiao completely.

Zhang Zhenhua, who had just managed to cross the road not far away, looked worried, and the 300,000 viewers in the live broadcast room also commented one after another.

"Master Wang has met his match."

“After all, an island nation is a country with a rich history, so it’s not surprising that it produces a few experts.”

"That Hanfu-clad young lady is both beautiful and strong. She looks frail, but I didn't expect her to make Master Wang take a step back with just one punch. Anyone who can make Master Wang take a step back must be a top-notch genius."

"That samurai with the sword looks pretty tough too."

“Master Wang was injured just now. The other side has a master. Why don’t you go back to China to recuperate for now and come back when you’re fully recovered?”

……

Many Chinese viewers are also worried that Wang Xiao might be seriously injured here.

After all, this is island nation territory. With so many people, there are bound to be a few experts. If they unite, Wang Xiao might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

After all, two fists can't beat four hands, and the opponent has at least dozens of hands, as well as a weapon master who combines man and knife.

At the same time, inside the Ito Itto-ryu martial arts dojo, Ito Hiroshi, Ito Makoto, and Ito Kou, three generations of their family, sat in the innermost lounge, watching Zhang Zhenhua's live stream.

The three of them still looked quite unwell. The internal injuries left by Wang Xiao were not light, and the entire martial arts school had suffered a severe blow. It was impossible for it to recover in a short time. It would take at least several decades or even hundreds of years to recover, and it would require a top-level genius to lead the Ito Itto-ryu martial arts school before it could possibly recover.

Otherwise, there is no possibility of recovery.

Hiroshi Ito's gaze sharpened, a hint of surprise and envy flashing across his eyes. He said, "The Imperial Family's foundation is still unfathomable. The Hattori family's experts have always served the Imperial Family. This is Hattori Masakaze, who disappeared ten years ago and has been cultivating in seclusion ever since. It seems that his strength has improved a lot since ten years ago. I probably wouldn't be a match for him."

Hiroshi Ito's tone was somewhat complicated. Ten years ago, he was able to defeat Masakazu Hattori.

Over the past ten years, he has not slacked off in the slightest, diligently practicing his swordsmanship every day, and has come to understand the state of oneness between man and sword. However, he has now been surpassed by his former defeated opponent, which makes him somewhat helpless.

He knew that this was not because Hattori Masakaze had suddenly become enlightened, but because Hattori Masakaze served the Imperial Family and enjoyed the Imperial Family's martial arts collection, a martial arts foundation that no other martial arts school could have.

Ito Gang stared at the Hanfu-clad woman who had knocked Wang Xiao back with a single punch, his eyes flashing with amazement, possessiveness, and surprise. He asked, "Grandpa, who is this Hanfu-clad woman?"

Hiroshi Ito glanced at Tsuyoshi Ito and immediately saw through his grandson's thoughts. He said calmly, "Don't have any ideas about her, or you'll die."

Ito Gang was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak. He realized that he had just teetered on the brink of death.

Regardless of the woman's identity, her strength alone—enough to knock Wang Xiao back with a single punch—was beyond his comprehension; her strength even surpassed that of his grandfather, Hiroshi Ito.

Moreover, in an island nation where the essence has remained unchanged for hundreds or thousands of years, many resources have always been firmly controlled by powerful families.

The same applies to martial arts foundation.

Ordinary people don't even have the right to know about it, let alone cultivate it.

Therefore, a woman wearing Hanfu must have an extraordinary background to possess such great strength.

Hiroshi Ito said softly, "This is Princess Aiyo, who has never appeared in public before! She is a peerless martial arts genius, a once-in-a-millennium talent in the royal family. There is also a prince who has never appeared in public before. It is said that his talent and strength are even stronger. I have never seen him, so I don't know if it's true."

Both Ito Gang and Ito Makoto were taken aback upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, this woman in Hanfu was actually a royal princess.

The royal princess possessed such formidable talent and strength that it exceeded their expectations.

Moreover, there is a hidden genius prince who has not yet appeared?
Both of them looked solemn, with a hint of doubt and disbelief flashing across their faces.

because.

For hundreds or even thousands of years, royal families have been plagued by incestuous marriages, resulting in extremely unstable bloodlines. Early death, intellectual disability, physical disability, and disease have been a recurring problem among royal descendants.

To this day, the royal family cannot even find a legitimate heir apparent.

did not expect.

Hidden in the shadows are two exceptionally talented martial arts geniuses within the royal family.

Perhaps this is another extreme of marriage between people who are close to each other?
Either mentally challenged or an absolute genius?
Hiroshi Ito glanced at his son and grandson, shook his head. If his descendants had also been top geniuses like Ai Yezi, they wouldn't have been so easily defeated and humiliated by Wang Xiao today. He immediately said, "Go and inform all the disciples that from today onwards, the Ito Itto-ryu school will be closed. No new disciples will be recruited. If any current disciples wish to leave, they can be allowed to leave and removed from the disciple roster. Those who remain can continue their normal training within the dojo, but they must not cause any more trouble. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will have their martial arts skills abolished and be expelled from the dojo."

Hiroshi Ito's voice was extremely firm and cold.

Having just experienced Wang Xiao's blow, they are now witnessing the royal family's profound heritage.

He knew that the Itō Ittō-ryū school had to close down and never reopen.

Otherwise, there is a risk of annihilation.

There are many young geniuses and masters emerging both on and off the island, as well as in China and overseas. Ito Gang, the strongest young man of the Ito Itto-ryu style, is like cannon fodder. If he is not careful, the entire martial arts dojo may be wiped out. Therefore, the only way to survive is to close the dojo and forbid everyone from going out to cause trouble, getting involved in disputes, or getting entangled in karma.

Ito Makoto and Ito Tsuyoshi both agreed, but instead of immediately informing the other disciples, they continued watching the live stream, wanting to see what the outcome of the clash between Wang Xiao and the royal expert would be.

Moreover, the many martial arts masters from the island nation invited by Aikido are no pushovers; such a large gathering is definitely not just for show.

The eyes of the three generations of the Ito family gleamed with anticipation, hoping that the royal experts and the martial arts masters from the island nation invited by Aikido could truly keep Wang Xiao here!
Wang Xiao's act of coming to challenge the school in retaliation and seriously injuring someone meant that even if the Japanese martial arts community united to kill him, the Chinese martial arts community couldn't say anything.

and so!
This is actually an opportunity for the martial arts community in the island nation.

An opportunity to eliminate Wang Xiao, this huge threat, openly and honestly.
