Tan Xiu, who was wearing a bronze mask, crossed his arms and didn't move. He was also observing Osashi Kitagishi's group. Through their auras, he could sense that they were all very powerful, especially the one who had spoken and the woman beside him.
Bewitching Incense?
Tan Xiu was a bit surprised. The fragrance exuded from the woman was very similar to the Bewitching Incense used by many rapists in the Immortal World. Despite the distance between them, he could still smell it with his keen sense of smell.
Kuwako translated Osashi Kitagishi's words in English.
"Northstar One Blade School?"
A mocking look appeared in Tan Xiu's eyes as he lightly said in fluent English, "I'm well aware of how much power the Northstar One Blade School has. The Five Elements Ninjutsu is indeed powerful, but the cultivation technique our members practice is trash. It's very difficult for them to cultivate to your level. If you want to know our origin, shouldn't you at least introduce yourself first? "
Osashi Kitagishi frowned and turned to look at Yuji next to him. Then, he shook his head and said, "You need to show your strength if you want to know our identity. Otherwise, weaklings like you are not qualified to know. "
"Is that so?"
Tan Xiu clapped his hands and then fell into silence.
Puff …
Among the ten men and women behind Osashi Kitagishi, a short and stout middle-aged man on the far right suddenly had his expression drastically changed. His pupils shrunk as his left arm was suddenly chopped off. The longsword that appeared out of thin air seemed to have its own sentience as it appeared out of thin air and disappeared all of a sudden. Only the severed arm and the spurting blood proved that it was an attack just now.
"Aaaah …"
The short and stout middle-aged man screamed and instantly covered the cut on his shoulder with his thick palm. Energy frantically surged inside his body and quickly blocked the spurting blood.
The others looked horrified.
Each and every one of them revealed a horrified expression as they vigilantly observed their surroundings, fearing that the strange attack would land on them. Even Yuji and Osashi Kitagishi, who were the strongest among them, were no exception.
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and asked, "Is this guy with his arm chopped off an expert?"
Osashi Kitagishi was nervous and said in a cold voice, "Of course he's an expert."
"Since an expert like him got his arm chopped off, doesn't it prove that we're very strong?" Tang Xiu said. Do I have the right to know your origins? "
Osashi Kitagishi and Yuji exchanged glances and then slowly said, "You can seriously injure my subordinate in an instant. Even if it's a sneak attack, you do have some strength. Your Excellency, have you heard of Joyous Palace? "
Tan Xiu looked at the others.
Everyone shook their heads. After a while, Kuwako said in a low voice, "I've heard of the Joyous Palace before. Though I don't know much about it, I know that it's the most mysterious sect in Japan. The shadow of the Joyous Palace can be seen in the military, politics, and commerce. "
Tan Xiu nodded slowly and looked at Osashi Kitagishi, saying, "I suddenly don't want to know which sect you belong to. Only death awaits those who make an enemy out of my people. If you are the only ones here today, then leave your lives behind! "
Kuwako's eyes lit up. She immediately took out an item from her pocket and threw it into the sky, causing an explosion to echo in the air.
"KILL!"
Kuwako, who had been forced to flee to the manor to save her life, had long been sullen. After releasing the signal, she was the first to rush toward Osashi Kitagishi. Tang Guang, Hei Xiong, Xue Sha, and even Mo Awu, who had yet to act, instantly attacked.
Tan Xiu didn't rush to act. He watched Yuji retreat tens of meters in an instant and appear on the roof behind her. His eyes locked on her and gently hooked his finger when she looked at him. Then, he sneered and said, "You're the strongest among all of you, aren't you? Come and fight me if you don't want to be a coward. "
Yuji couldn't sense Tan Xiu's power, but she didn't dare to be careless and fiercely shouted, "Four Guardian Deities, kill that brat!"
Immediately.
Four burly middle-aged men with bulging muscles appeared in front of Tan Xiu in the blink of an eye. As they arranged the Guardian Deity Fist Array, each of them grinned as though Tan Xiu was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in their eyes.
"A Buddhist battle array?"
Tan Xiu wore a strange expression. These four men were obviously the woman's men. They even had the woman's aura on them, indicating that they had just had sex with her not long ago. Furthermore, she also had the Bewitching Incense on her. What did this mean? That woman also had a deep relationship with Buddhism.
Buddhism?
A woman?
Sex?
Joyous Palace?
Connecting the clues one by one, Tan Xiu instantly realized that these people belonged to one of the Buddhist Esoteric Schools — the Joyous Sect. However, he didn't expect that the Joyous Sect would become the most mysterious and powerful force in Japan.
"No wonder! Japan is so open-minded when it comes to men and women. "
Tan Xiu let out a strange smile. He didn't use any weapon and directly bombarded the incoming fists with his fists. The sky was filled with fist shadows as fast as lightning, but Tan Xiu's punching speed was faster than theirs. Not only that, it was more than twice as fast. In just a few breaths, Tan Xiu had already blasted out hundreds of punches.
"AAARGH …"
"AAARGH …"
"…"
"…"
Four mournful screams came from the mouths of the burly men who arranged the Guardian Deity Fist Array. Fists collided with flesh, smashing their fists into a pulp. The bones in their arms broke inch by inch, and their muscles turned into fried dough twists.
The array was broken.
Tan Xiu shook his head with some regret. He instantly unleashed the divine sword and swept it across the four men's necks. As the huge heads were tossed away, blood gushed into the pillar and sprayed out a blood mist.
Standing on the roof, Yuji's eyeballs nearly popped out of her eye sockets. Others didn't know the strength of her four loyal subordinates, but she was very clear about it. She used a secret method to train these four subordinates and spent a lot of resources to train them. Each of them was stronger than King Kong. Even a solid iron ball the size of a head could be smashed by them with one punch.
But …
But the four of them arranged the Guardian Deity Fist Array. The array made their strength stronger and their bodies stronger. Under such circumstances, how could they be bombarded into such a miserable state by the opponent?
Her heart ached.
The pain made it difficult for Yuji to breathe. She paid a huge price, but they were so easily killed by the opponent. This was like using a knife to ruthlessly cut her heart countless times.
"I'm going to kill you."
A huge aura burst out of Yuji's body and her figure flashed lightning-fast toward Tang Xiu. The people who were fighting in the surroundings couldn't help but retreat to the sides to avoid the pressure of this huge aura.
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. With a flick of his wrist, the Starquake Divine Art was instantly activated. As the long sword in his hand moved toward the air, layers of spiral sword light instantly pierced through Yuji's body.
"Impossible!"
Yuji's figure abruptly came to a halt. She looked down in disbelief at the bloody holes on her chest, abdomen, legs, and even shoulders. With her cultivation level comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, she could clearly feel the loss of vitality in her body.
Tan Xiu didn't stop there. As the divine sword was instantly taken back into his body, a lightning-fast finger wind sealed more than a dozen acupoints all over Yuji's body, preventing the Sarira Golden Core from flying out and reducing the loss of vitality in her body, making her completely powerless and harmless.
"STOP!"
Tan Xiu snapped the moment he grabbed Yuji's neck.
In an instant …
Everyone in the fight stopped, especially Yuji's subordinates, who all looked incredulous.
However, at the moment when all the enemies were stunned, Tan Xiu's left hand moved quickly and tore a bloody hole on Osashi Kitagishi's neck, while a long sword pierced his heart. The moment Tang An's figure appeared, she manipulated her immortal sword to kill an expert near Osashi Kitagishi.
At the same time, Mo Awu and the others also acted brazenly, launching sneak attacks that severely injured or killed the nearby enemies. A slight mistake in a showdown between experts would result in death without a burial. Tan Xiu's move was very ingenious and ruthless.
Ten minutes later …
All the enemies in the Xiao Boat were either killed or captured. Those who tried to kill their way out were also stopped by Kuwako's people. After suffering more than a dozen casualties, Mo Awu and the others rushed over and killed them all.
Additionally …
Those from the Northstar One Blade School who didn't belong to Kuwako were also killed. The ones who killed them were those under Kuwako's control. For a time, the crisis was completely resolved.
Inside the Xiao Boat House.
Tan Xiu casually threw Yuji to the floor and walked to the chair opposite her. After taking a seat, he said in a deep voice, "Detain Osashi Kitagishi first. Give him a healing pill if his vitality is draining too fast."
"Understood!"
Mo Awu respectfully replied and strode out of the room.
Tan Xiu then looked at Yuji and indifferently asked in fluent English, "The injuries you suffered may not necessarily kill you. I have a way to save you and spare your lowly life. But you need to cooperate with me. You can live well if I'm satisfied. "
Yuji's face was ashen as she shook her head and said, "I know what you want to ask me. Unfortunately, I can't tell you even if I die. "
"The most terrible thing in the world isn't death, but being unable to live or die," said Tan Xiu indifferently. "I can make you live in endless pain and torment for a year, a decade, or even a century. Of course, I'll also give you a chance to live safe and sound. It's up to you how to choose. "
Yuji's eyes were full of fear. After a long while of silence, she slowly said, "You can't make me stay if I'm determined to die."
Tan Xiu raised his hand to take off the bronze mask on his face and sneered. "I'm a Chinese, and I'm hailed as a Divine Doctor in China. Further, I'm a cultivator with countless means at my disposal. Keeping you alive and torturing you is something I can do easily. "
