"Ahead, there are three auras. Besides that scoundrel Jiang Wuming, the other two should be participating contestants from Dragon Country!"
On the island, Zorro, leading over twenty people, surged towards Jiang Wuming's location and suddenly spoke.
"Heh... three people together, perfect for us to take them all down!"
Miyamoto Tatsushi, the foremost martial arts prodigy of the Ninja Kingdom, sneered, his body exuding a chilling murderous intent.
Years ago, Jiang Zhan had massacred the Battle God Hall's hunting squad base, crippled Anthony Roman, and killed eleven martial arts prodigies from around the globe, including the Ninja Kingdom's martial arts genius Sato Jin!
Not long ago, Jiang Wuming, as a member of the Donghai Martial Academy delegation, participated in the martial arts exchange activities between Donghai Martial Academy and Kyoto Martial Academy. In the martial arts training grounds of Donghai Martial Academy, he instantly killed Akita Eiko, thus pinning the Kyoto Martial Academy and the Ninja Kingdom's martial arts world to the pillar of shame!
All of this had caused his hatred towards Jiang Wuming and the Dragon Country martial arts world to surpass even Zorro's, making him eager to turn the participating contestants of the Dragon Country delegation, led by Jiang Wuming, into ashes!
As Miyamoto Tatsushi's words fell, Zorro and the others emerged from a patch of woods and then stopped in unison.
They saw Ye Kunlun, holding a precious sword, standing in front of Jiang Wuming and Yuan He, and also saw the corpse of Sean not far away.
This discovery caused their expressions to change!
Although they had realized that Jiang Wuming had killed Sean after seeing the points ranking on the leaderboard, seeing Sean's corpse still shocked them somewhat!
After all, Sean was a peak One-Star Battle God, capable of breaking through to Two-Star Battle God at any moment!
However, their expressions soon returned to normal.
This was because they noticed that Jiang Wuming's left shoulder was a bloody mess, his body was covered in blood, and there was no trace of true qi flowing within him. His aura was extremely weak—all signs indicated that Jiang Wuming was severely injured!
In addition, they sensed that Yuan He's aura was extremely unstable, a sign of him attempting to break through to a higher martial arts realm.
"That scoundrel Jiang Wuming should be severely injured, possibly even incapacitated. Otherwise, that monk beside him wouldn't be attempting a breakthrough at this time!"
After sensing all of this, Zorro suddenly spoke, his words filled with mockery, "The battle is far simpler than we imagined. Oh, no, it should be said that this slaughter is far easier than we imagined!"
"Heh... the Dragon Country martial arts world has been arrogant for so many years, and the blood debt they owe us is finally due!"
"Without that scoundrel Jiang Wuming, the other participating contestants of the Dragon Country delegation are all trash, easily killed with a flick of the wrist!"
"Hahahaha..."
As Zorro's words fell, individuals in the crowd spoke one after another, while more burst into unrestrained laughter.
Under the sunlight, their gazes towards Jiang Wuming, Ye Kunlun, and Yuan He were as if they were looking at three corpses.
"What are you guys doing?"
Upon hearing Zorro and the others' words, Ye Kunlun knew that the opponents intended to kill them. However, he uncharacteristically controlled his fiery temper and deliberately played dumb.
This was because he remembered Jiang Wuming's previous instructions: find a way to stall for time, allowing Jiang Wuming to recover from his injuries!
Moreover, Yuan He had not yet successfully broken through.
"Heh, from what I know, Ye Kunlun, the successor of Kunlun from Dragon Country, is a martial arts maniac with a volatile temper. Why are you playing dumb and pretending to be foolish now?"
Zorro looked at Ye Kunlun mockingly, like a cat playing with a mouse. "If you're scared, as long as you publicly bow down, I can let you leave alone."
Hmm?
Upon hearing Zorro's words, Miyamoto Tatsushi and the others looked at Zorro with surprise—according to their plan, they were to annihilate all participating contestants of the Dragon Country delegation!
Immediately after, they saw the mocking smile on Zorro's face and understood that Zorro was toying with Ye Kunlun.
If Ye Kunlun chose to concede, he would forever be nailed to the pillar of shame and would not escape his fate of being killed, and the Dragon Country martial arts world would be shamed by this!
"When did your grandpa ever fear anything?"
Facing Zorro's humiliation, Ye Kunlun was furious, but he still forcibly restrained himself and retorted, "I think it's you who are truly afraid, aren't you? Otherwise, why would you show up after Brother Wuming was injured?"
"I gave you a chance to live. Since you didn't cherish it, then accompany that scoundrel Jiang Wuming to the grave!"
Zorro sneered, directly pronouncing Ye Kunlun's death sentence, which also served as an order to attack.
"You bunch of rotten fish and shrimps, taking advantage of someone's misfortune is one thing, but ganging up like this, you have no shame! If I were your elder, or the head of the martial arts institution of your country, I would buy a block of tofu and smash my head against it!"
Ye Kunlun spoke again. He, who usually preferred action over words, spoke out once more to gain time for Jiang Wuming's recovery. At the same time, he held his sword in his right hand and beckoned with his left, "Heh... who has the guts to face grandpa in a one-on-one duel?!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's words again, everyone, including Zorro, changed their expressions.
They hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to be so defiant even at the brink of death.
"Zorro, I'll kill him!"
Miyamoto Tatsushi volunteered, saying a word to Zorro. Then, without waiting for Zorro's reply, he stepped out from the crowd.
"Good!"
Hearing Miyamoto Tatsushi's words, and seeing his action, Zorro thought for a moment and agreed.
On one hand, Ye Kunlun's words had somewhat provoked Zorro and the others. It was indeed disgraceful for them, with their status and strength, to attack Ye Kunlun all together.
On the other hand, with Miyamoto Tatsushi's strength, he could easily kill Ye Kunlun, so there was no need for so many people to act together.
More importantly, seeing that Jiang Wuming was severely injured, he believed that the situation was already decided. In his own words, this slaughter would be easy, more like a game of cat and mouse!
The others, hearing Miyamoto Tatsushi and Zorro's words, also stopped in their tracks, deciding to enjoy Miyamoto Tatsushi's performance.
"Jap, state your name. Your grandpa doesn't kill unknown people!"
Ye Kunlun saw Zorro step forward, still with an arrogant expression, but he was secretly circulating his true qi frantically, preparing to use a forbidden technique.
This was because he could feel Miyamoto Tatsushi's power!
A peak One-Star Battle God!
Furthermore, according to the secret files of the Martial Department, Miyamoto Tatsushi, as the new generation martial arts prodigy of the Ninja Kingdom, also possessed ice elemental abilities, and his true combat strength was not inferior to a peak One-Star Battle God!
And he was only a One-Star Battle God at the fifth stage. The difference in strength between them was obvious!
"You court death!"
Facing Ye Kunlun's provocation, Miyamoto Tatsushi stopped wasting words, let out a low roar, and sprang towards Ye Kunlun.
His speed was incredibly fast, and as he flashed, he left streaks of white afterimages in the sunlight, like a beam of white light.
Clang!
At the same time, the sound of a sword being unsheathed echoed.
After a single breath, Miyamoto Tatsushi, while moving at high speed, suddenly drew his precious saber!
"Remember, in my grandpa's life, there is no such word as fear!!"
Ye Kunlun roared, then holding his sword, he proactively met Miyamoto Tatsushi.
He knew that he could no longer stall for time. He also knew that he had to actively engage, otherwise, if Miyamoto Tatsushi got too close, both Jiang Wuming and Yuan He would be affected by the battle!
