Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

"Who is Bakayaroo?"

The surrounding samurai drew their swords and scanned their surroundings.

"It's that guy!"

At that moment, the figure of a young man in a noodle shop a dozen meters away caught their attention.

The noodle shop was very simple, supported by a few sticks and with leaves as a roof, letting in drafts from all sides.

But the young man, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, sat upright, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance and nobility, making even the simple shed seem more refined.

On the table in front of the young man were a sword, a bowl, and a chopstick.

Clearly, the chopsticks that hit the groper's hand were thrown by him.

"How dare you plot against our noble Japanese samurai! You're asking for death!" a samurai roared, raising his hand and sending a stack of ninja shuriken flying.

His technique for throwing hidden weapons was rather unusual; the shuriken spun in the air, drawing arcs as they attacked the youth from different directions.

Chapter 57 Have you ever seen snow falling on earth?

The young man sitting upright in the small noodle shop was none other than Yue Zhuoqun.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he faced the shuriken aimed at him.

These fancy techniques originated from Japanese ninjas, but they are essentially assassination methods with negligible real power.

He was about to raise his hand to knock the shuriken away when he heard a loud shout.

"careful!"

A figure leaped into the air and landed in front of Yue Zhuoqun's table, drawing the katana from its waist.

Ding Ding Ding ~

With a series of crisp sounds, all the shuriken were knocked away.

The figure then turned around, revealing a handsome man.

He smiled slightly at Yue Zhuoqun: "Brother, these hidden weapons are shuriken from Japanese ninjas. Their attacks are very tricky, so we must not be careless."

Yue Zhuoqun didn't think much of it, but still nodded: "Thank you!"

The conflict here had already attracted the attention of the dock workers, and all fifty Japanese samurai gathered around, completely surrounding the small noodle shop.

The leading samurai sized up the man who had interfered, lingering particularly on his standard katana for a long time, before frowning and asking, "Are you from the Central Plains or Japan?"

The man clasped his hands and said, "I am Duan Tianya, a native of the Central Plains. However, I went to Japan to study swordsmanship a few years ago."

"Now that you have learned our Japanese swordsmanship, why do you still want to be an enemy of us Japanese samurai?"

"I am not an enemy of the Japanese samurai, but an enemy of those who do evil!"

"Stop beating around the bush with insults! Anyone who opposes us, kill them!"

These Japanese samurai let out a cold shout and swung their katana at Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya frowned and had no choice but to raise his weapon to fight.

"Brother, let me help you!"

With a soft shout, a beautiful woman in a long red dress flipped and landed beside Duan Tianya, joining forces to block the attack from the Japanese samurai.

Duan Tianya, the number one secret agent of the Dragon Guard Manor; and Shangguan Haitang, the number one secret agent of the Xuan class.

Sitting at the back, Yue Zhuoqun had already guessed the identities of the two.

Although this "Broken Sky Edge Sword Technique" originated from the Iga school of Japanese swordsmanship, its strength far surpasses that of these Japanese samurai.

Shangguan Haitang's martial arts skills were much weaker, only at the bottom of the first-rate level.

However, she was sent to Wuhen Manor by Zhu Wushi when she was young and became a disciple of Young Master Wuhen. Although her martial arts skills were not strong, her moves were very exquisite.

The name of that Wuhen Gongzi is not well-known in the martial arts world, but his strength is not weak.

In the world of martial arts, this person became famous very early and was known as the third strongest in the world, with his strength only ranking below the undefeated Gu Santong and Ba Dao.

In particular, his hidden weapon technique called "Scattered Flowers and Money" was renowned throughout the martial arts world. In addition, he was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams.

Shangguan Haitang learned too much from Wuhen Gongzi, and her knowledge was very diverse, which ironically made her strength not particularly high.

However, the two of them working together were more than capable of dealing with this group of Japanese samurai.

However, neither of them clearly intended to kill; at most, they knocked each other to the ground, and few were seriously injured.

This made Yue Zhuoqun frown.

"Why show mercy to these Japanese who dare to commit atrocities on Ming territory!"

Keng!

The gentleman drew his sword, and his body transformed into a gentle breeze, landing among the Japanese samurai.

laugh!

Sword energy soared into the sky, and a chilling aura swept through!

With each slash of the sword, spurts of blood shot into the sky, blooming into clusters of red flowers.

Corpses fell one by one, accompanied by screams.

In just a dozen breaths, most of the fifty Japanese samurai were dead.

The cold-blooded killing intent and the cruel, bloody scene stunned Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang, leaving them feeling cold in their hands and feet.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a petite yet agile figure leaped into the arena.

He drew his katana from his waist, which suddenly burst forth with dazzling light and slashed at Yue Zhuoqun's sword with the force of wind and thunder!

Ding!

Swords clashed, producing a crisp, resounding clang.

The sudden burst of light vanished just as quickly, and Liu Sheng Piaoxu retreated five or six meters, his pure face filled with shock.

"Why...why did you kill us Japanese samurai?"

"Killing Japanese people needs no reason!"

With a single swing of his sword, Yue Zhuoqun beheaded two more Japanese men.

"you……"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu's fair cheeks flushed red with anger. She gripped the hilt of her katana with both hands and slashed fiercely at Yue Zhuoqun:

"Kill the God of Death with one strike!"

laugh!

The internal force surged out from the blade, transforming into an invisible wall of energy that spread forward, cutting a deep trench in the ground it passed through.

Even the surrounding air grew gloomy, the sinister killing intent transforming into oppression, as if freezing one's spirit.

Yue Zhuoqun raised an eyebrow: What a fine Asura Demon Blade technique!

hum!

The Gentleman's Sword trembled, its slender blade seemingly becoming a thousand times heavier in an instant.

Boom!

With a single sword strike, a terrifying shockwave swept out, shattering the invisible blade energy that the God of Slaughter had unleashed.

"puff!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu coughed up a mouthful of blood, her delicate body swaying as if she were about to fall.

Her skills are nowhere near comparable to Yue Zhuoqun's!

"Your strike was excellent, brimming with killing intent; it can be considered a top-tier killing technique."

It's a pity your skill is too poor, and your state of mind cannot fully match your sword intent; you can't even unleash 60% of its power.

Yue Zhuoqun shook his head regretfully.

This was the first time he had ever seen a technique created specifically for killing, but unfortunately he was unable to witness the full expression of the sword's intent.

“You’re right, this move doesn’t really suit me, but I have another one.”

Liu Sheng Piaoxu gritted his teeth and regained his footing.

Because she witnessed her older sister Yagyu Yukihime and Duan Tianya's love when she was young, she also has a longing for love in her heart, which makes it impossible for her to resonate with the killing intent of the God of Slaughter who cuts through all emotions with a single stroke.

But the other trick is different!

Holding the knife in both hands, he raised it high and asked Yue Zhuoqun in a cold tone:

Have you ever seen snow fall on earth?

"Snowflakes Falling on Earth" doesn't actually mean snow, but rather it's the name of another sword technique.

This move can be considered the ultimate extension of the God of Slaughter's One-Slash, but the sword intent it contains is completely different.

When Yagyu Tajima first created this sword, he expressed his love and expectations for his two daughters; the characters "Yuki" and "Hyou" were taken from their names.
