A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 19: A Bountiful Harvest of Universal Points

"What kind of ridiculous moves are these? I've never even heard of them before! Lord Ishinomiya, use your invincible iron fist to smash him into mincemeat!"

The thief's henchman had been hiding behind a tree, and upon seeing Taiyi's actions, he immediately jumped out and shouted.

As if he had taken his advice, the enormous Ishigami immediately raised his huge fist and prepared to smash it down on Taiichi, who was charging towards him.

However, just after he raised his hand, Taiyi suddenly appeared in front of him from a distance of several meters away, followed by a dazzling red light that filled his entire field of vision.

Shi Zhiyu: "!!!"

On the other side, the thief henchman also instinctively covered his eyes the moment Taiichi swung his sword.

After he took his hand down, he found that Taiichi was already standing behind Ishino, exhaling three streams of white mist from his mouth and nostrils, while the sword in his hand was only half left.

"Even though the Yamada family's swords are of very high quality, they still couldn't withstand my full force...?"

Looking at the broken half of the blade at his feet, Taiyi simply threw away the broken sword in his hand and walked towards the thief's henchmen.

"Don't come any closer! Lord Ishinomiya, please... Ahhh!!!"

The thief, clutching his knife, kept retreating, still trying to urge Ishino to make his move. But before he could finish speaking, the invincible being in his memory split open to both sides, with the human body's central axis as the dividing line.

Seeing the blood all over the ground and the internal organs that had been neatly cut in half, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, and the four knives in his arms smashed into his legs.

[General point +3]

Ok?

Upon receiving the system notification, Taiyi raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had gained more than 1 general point after killing someone.

"It seems this giant is indeed exceptionally strong, but..."

That's it.

Taiyi walked over and kicked one of the thief henchmen in the backside: "Get up right now and take me to your boss."

"Ah? I understand, I understand."

The moment Taiyi raised his foot, the younger brother immediately shrank his neck, closed his eyes, and waited for death.

Little did he know that he only got kicked in the buttocks, and then, upon hearing the order, he immediately stood up, bowing and scraping as he led Taiyi toward the side hall.

After walking a short distance...

Led by the thief's henchmen, Taiyi had arrived at the entrance of the side hall, but from inside the building with the hall door open, there could still be sounds of fighting and cursing.

"You're not a samurai at all; you don't even have a sword!"

"Bullshit! Some bastard stole my sword, but I can still take you down even without it! Fujinami Family's signature move—the Cross Scissor Kick!"

"Good luck, samurai!"

Taiichi stepped into the side hall, where he saw Rantaro, whose clothes were disheveled and whose shaved head was unkempt, subduing a naked man on the ground by twisting his arms and locking his throat with his feet.

Meanwhile, in the corner on the other side, a pale-skinned girl was crouching down, clutching her chest as she cheered on Rantaro.

"This is truly an eyesore! Go and find that girl some clothes to wear!"

Taiyi closed his eyes, pressed his temples with one hand, and said to the thief underling in a low voice.

......

Evening, in Edo-cho, at the headquarters of the arsonists' prison.

Rantaro, now fully dressed and sporting panda eyes, was bowing to Taichi.

"Brother Taiyi, I never thought I could actually complete the mission. It's all thanks to you!"

"You're too kind. Besides, I did gain something from this as well."

Taiyi patted his chest, and a slight metallic clanging sound came from it.

After subduing Xuefeng Wubingwei, he used some tricks to find out the location where the money was hidden.

He didn't take the silver and copper coins, making Rantaro hand them over as stolen money, but he pocketed all of the more than one hundred small gold coins.

"Heh, thank him? You should hate him. Do you even know who you arrested?"

Inside the cell, Gobei, whose hand was bandaged, stared intently at Taichi and Rantaro with a fierce look.

"You audacious prisoner! You've already been arrested and you still dare to spout nonsense. No matter how powerful you are behind me, I will still arrest you!"

Rantarō slammed his fist on the wooden prison door and rebuked it righteously.

"My leader is the bandit king of Izu, Brother Azazuki Heibei, who commands a hundred men! Coming to Edo was at the boss's behest; he sent us to scout the place first!"

"Once the news of my arrest gets out, you can just wait to die!"

Seeing that Rantaro's expression grew increasingly grim after he finished speaking, Xuefeng Wubei became even more smug.

King of Thieves, Asohito, is considered one of the most troublesome thieves for the current shogunate.

Because of his strong personal abilities and the large number of his subordinates, all the other domains except Edo Castle, which was under the control of the shogunate, were terrified of him.

However, Taiyi was indeed somewhat disdainful after hearing these words.

Azazuki Heibei will help you get revenge? Don't be ridiculous, you're just pawns in his game!

He didn't care about anyone except his beloved younger brother.

"Don't be afraid. There's a saying in Chinese: 'When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.' No matter how powerful the bandit king is, he won't dare to attack Edo. This is where the general is located."

"What happens next is not my responsibility. Let's have a drink another day."

Taiichi patted Rantaro on the shoulder, and after the latter thanked him again, he walked out of the cell.

However, just as they were leaving, they ran into Hasegawa Yūzō, the leader of the arson gang who had come to interrogate the prisoners, and several of the leaders of the advance team behind him.

What puzzled Taiyi was that one of the group leaders seemed to have hatred in his eyes when he looked at him.

But he didn't think much of it, because he had a lot of money on hand recently and it was time to buy some ingredients and herbs to improve his three-dimensional attributes.

After leaving Edo-cho, Taichi walked at a leisurely pace for about half an hour and arrived at the castle town area.

He walked through the bustling streets and stopped at the end of a small alley.

Clean the house.

Looking at the sign on the door, Taiyi touched his chest and shook his head, saying, "It hasn't even been warmed up yet, and it's already going to be spent again."

After saying that, he walked straight inside.

"Welcome! Oh, it's actually Lord Taiyi!"

The middle-aged man, who was standing behind the counter and wearing a headscarf, immediately brightened up when he saw the person who entered and greeted him happily.

"Jōichirō, I've come to bring you money again this time."

Taiichi walked over, placed the cloth bag on the counter with a disgruntled expression, opened it, counted out 80 small gold coins, and finally pushed it in front of the shopkeeper, Joichiro.

"It's not you who's giving us money; it's our honor to serve you, sir!"

With a smile, Jingyilang carefully put away the money, then took out the prepared snacks and tea, poured a cup for Taiyi, and continued:

"Master Taiyi, the wild boar meat will arrive within three days, but the highly nourishing medicinal herbs you requested, especially ginseng, will have to wait a while."

"It's alright, just let me know as soon as you arrive. After all, I need to improve my martial arts skills, and that's not all I can do."

As he spoke, Taiyi shifted his gaze to his own data.
