Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

A gaping hole, inside a cave.

Wakasa Shōbei, or rather, Nichiki Koji, knelt on the ground, his body trembling, and said to Eita.

"Eita, my ripples are all used up. Kill me, cut off my head."

Eita kept his head down, so his expression was not visible. When he heard Nichiki's words, he took out Hirumaru and placed it on the back of Nichiki's neck, and said something.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Erli Jushi gripped the ground with both hands, enduring both physical and mental torment, and spoke.

"Run away, run away with Hiruma..."

puff!

Nirikoji's head was cut off by Hirumaru, and rolled to one side, mixed with dirt and blood.

"Hiruma told me that I was being watched and all I could do was wait."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two people appeared at the entrance: Zhang Yan and Lü Ci.

Zhang Yan saw the deceased Erli Jushi and spoke.

"In this duel, the Demon Blade can only kill this one person."

After saying that, Zhang Yan slowly walked towards Eita and then took a deep breath.

hum~

Eita gripped the demon sword, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his body at all, and he felt as if his soul was being sucked away.

The leech he was holding reacted the most violently, trembling so much that he could no longer hold it tightly.

As Zhang Yan inhaled, the soul within the demon sword Hirumaru was also pulled out.

ha~

A beam of yellow light shot out from Zhang Yan's mouth. The soul of the demon sword Hirumaru touched the yellow light and immediately shattered into pieces, dissipating into the air.

At this moment, Eita felt that his connection with Hirumaru had been completely severed, and the sword in his hand had become just an ordinary Japanese sword.

So that's what Zhang Yan meant. Is Hirumaru, without its soul, still a demon sword?

But it doesn't matter anymore, Hirumaru can no longer give me courage.

Knowing about the technique of exhaling, Lü Ci was even more shocked.

Legend has it that this breathing technique was created by the two generals, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi. Zheng Lun received the inheritance of the True Man Du'e. With a snort, the sound was as loud as a bell, and the person would obediently stand up and have their soul sucked out.

Chen Qi had been secretly taught to cultivate a breath of yellow energy. When he opened his mouth and exhaled, the yellow energy would dissipate upon contact with it.

Judging from Zhang Yan's methods now, he has already mastered the art of exhaling qi to a state of perfection, which is truly terrifying.

After doing all this, Zhang Yan turned and walked out of the cave, saying something.

"Both of you, I won't stop either of you from getting out of this stone chamber."

This is a true one-on-one duel!

……

Outside the cave, corpses were everywhere; the escape and fighting in the dense forest had come to an end.

Tang Miaoxing walked up to the Tang Clan leader and spoke.

"Chief, the battle is over, but those Japanese soldiers are using the terrain to their advantage to escape desperately. We can't possibly kill them all..."

Tang Sect Master looked at the lush and verdant appearance of the mountains and forests and spoke.

"Even with Zhang Yan's help and the mountain spirits giving us information, we can't stay here for too long."

"Keep a close eye on them, kill as many as you can, try to kill as many as possible."

"How are the Japanese troops and those inside the cave doing?"

Tang Miaoxing nodded first, and then answered.

"They withdrew directly because the Chinese troops were tied down there."

"We sent more people into the cave and found quite a few people from the samurai's mansion. It should be over now."

Just then, a member of the Tang Clan emerged from the mountains and spoke to the two of them.

"Master, Uncle-Master, a group of warriors have arrived from outside the mountain."

Tang Bingwen frowned and spoke.

"That's all over, and now another group of people has arrived. It seems they have quite a bit of ambition."

The Tang Clan disciple replied.

"Master, they didn't make a move, they just said they wanted to see you and Zhang Yan."

The Tang Clan leader chuckled and spoke.

"Hehe, you came all this way to see me and Zhang Yan? That's quite a surprise."

"Let them in."

When the men from the Samurai Mansion arrived at the entrance of the mountain cave, Zhang Yan and Lü Ci also emerged from the cave.

In addition, Lu Ci was also dragging along a half-dead person, who was none other than Eita.

Tang Sect Master glanced at Lü Ci, who was covered in wounds, and said to Zhang Yan.

"Someone else is coming to see us. Haha, what a troublesome time."

Zhang Yan looked at the group of people who had arrived and said to them.

"People from the Samurai Mansion?"

The leader on the other side looked at the two and spoke.

"Hehe, I presume you two are Tang Sect Leader and Zhang Yan."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shinichi Yoshida, and I am one of the retainers of the samurai family."

"The reason I've come here is to inform everyone that the lord of my Samurai Mansion has arrived on this continent, and he will be paying visits to each of the various sects."

The Tang Clan leader narrowed his eyes slightly. This samurai daimyo was no small figure; his deeds had been known during the unification of Japan.

It is said that in just a few years, he rose from an unknown nobody to become the daimyo of the samurai household.

After that, he quickly and decisively brought together the scattered Japanese eccentrics.

His actions reversed the Samurai Bureau's previous decline, transforming it into the largest official superhuman force.

But the setback the alien forces suffered previously caused him to remain silent for a while, and now he has come in person.

Thinking about these things, Tang Sect Master couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan. Come to think of it, the two of them really did have some similarities.

Both achieved fame at a young age and both grew up in war; it's hard to say who is stronger.

He said, "Is this matter really worth making this trip for you?"

Shinichi Yoshida shook his head and spoke.

"Of course not, we've already released this information, and all the sects will know soon."

"I came here mainly to challenge someone."

As he spoke, Yoshida pointed a finger at Tang Sect Leader.

"profound?"

Tang Clan leader frowned, and a pill was quietly released, resting on the Japanese man's brow.

Shinichi Yoshida seemed to sense a danger; he felt that if he gave an affirmative response at that moment, he might lose his life immediately.

His arm moved, turning back towards Zhang Yan, and the sense of danger vanished.

"Challenge me?"

Zhang Yan pointed to himself and asked.

Yoshida Shinichi nodded and said.

“Mr. Zhang Yan, I have always wanted to fight you, but I have never had the chance. Now that we have met, please do not hold back.”

Zhang Yan looked at Yoshida Shinichi as if he were an idiot and spoke.

How long have you been on this continent?

Shinichi Yoshida replied earnestly, "Not long, about a month. But I've heard so much about you in Japan. What's up?"

"It's nothing, I was just checking."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he took a step forward, his hair turned snow-white, and his body slowly rose into the air, looking down at Yoshida Shinichi, and spoke.

"You didn't investigate me carefully before rushing to impress the daimyo?"

"Then so be it."

Quiet~

Everyone looked at Zhang Yan, and seeing his current state, they couldn't help but think of a certain cultivation technique.

The third level of reverse birth!

This is the true third level of rebirth. Could it be that Zhang Yan is close to ascension?

"Etc., etc!"

Shinichi Yoshida looked at Zhang Yan and quickly waved his hand before continuing.

"What is your name?"

Zhang Yan frowned. Was this person out of their mind? They had just asked the same question.

"His name is Zhang Yan, are you going to fight him or not?"

One of the Tang Clan disciples spoke up jokingly.

"Oh, that should be right. So what's my name?"

The Tang Clan disciple followed his words and said, "Shinichi Yoshida, you have already stated your name."

"Wrong, my name is Shinji Yoshida."

"You even got the name wrong. This is disrespectful to the challenge. We're not playing anymore."

Shinji Yoshida turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

I can't beat anyone, I'm outta here...
