Looking at the fierce and unstoppable fist shadows that were coming in from all directions in an instant, Zhou Yi was extremely anxious. He was about to launch an attack with the Butterfly Love Flower, vowing to fight with the powerful Tan Lang in front of him.
But the next scene was far beyond everyone's expectations. Ren Ya did not dodge or evade, but stepped forward angrily, raised his head and looked firmly at the Shenwu Tanlang in the distance, and shouted loudly: "As the Emperor of Japan, Chinatsu should have worked hard to restore the prestige of Japan, make the country rich and the people strong, and live and work in peace and contentment. It's a pity that Ren Ya is now alone and weak, and there is such a behemoth as the Hidden Sword School that is hindering him everywhere. He has the will but not the power. Today, he must rely on his uncle's great help. For the resurgence of the Yamato nation, I, as the emperor, once again thank my uncle..."
Having said this, Ren Ya had just brushed her sleeves and made a gesture of bowing, when the figure of the Shenwu Tanlang suddenly moved forward a few steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ren Ya's collar tightly, and his ferocious and violent face unexpectedly revealed a bit of seriousness, as if in the blink of an eye, this murderous beast in the world suddenly changed, and he became like a martial arts master with profound and unparalleled strength, and his every move exuded a convincing aura.
He looked straight into Ren Ya's eyes for a long time. After a long time, a low voice like the sound of a Huangzhong Dalu slowly came out of his mouth, with an expression of unquestionable conviction.
"Emperor, there is no need to beg anyone! All you have to do is - command!"
After saying this, this unrivaled and extraordinary warrior slowly prostrated himself, his murderous intent completely gone, and he respectfully performed the highest etiquette of Japan—prostrating himself on the ground!
"Shenwu Tanlang, follow and wait for orders!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. With the Hidden Sword School's now unrivaled majesty and boundless reputation throughout Japan, it took only a few days to hold an unprecedented and unparalleled event in Edo Castle.
When the morning light kissed the earth for the first time, the fanatical atmosphere of the entire Edo City seemed to boil up all of a sudden.
The dragon-slaying martial arts competition finally arrived after much anticipation.
The entire area around the martial arts training ground was packed with people. The streets were crowded with people, and it was very lively.
The nobles of Edo City, both large and small, and even some commoners, all arrived at the venue early. The top players from all the schools and factions in Japan also arrived here and began to prepare for the battle.
Although Japan is a small country, its people value martial arts and there are countless people practicing martial arts in the country. For this event, many masters who have practiced for many years have put in a lot of effort and are ready to make a splash.
All the areas of the martial arts competition ground had been divided up early in the morning.
The disciples of the Hidden Sword School are seated in the innermost circle, followed by the seats of the other ten major sects in Japan, then some smaller sects, and finally some grassroots warriors. Each level has very clear requirements.
Japanese society is clearly divided into classes, which has been deeply reflected in this martial arts competition. However, these drawbacks are also the driving force for Japanese warriors to constantly strive for progress.
Halfway through the day, the Hidden Sword Ryu's men slowly entered the arena, led by the second-in-command, Yagyu Muneaki.
Speaking of Yagyu Muneaki, although he was born in the Yagyu family, he was treated coldly in the Yagyu family because he achieved success late. Later, after joining the Hidden Sword School, he made great progress and became a peerless hero who could make things happen in the entire Japan. His reputation at this time was probably even higher than that of the emperor who was in name only.
The indescribable demeanor of him as he walked with his head held high made Zhou Yi's eyes light up. This man was definitely a formidable opponent that should not be underestimated.
As more and more people from the Hidden Sword School arrived, the atmosphere in the entire venue became more and more intense.
In addition to the impressive figure of Yagyu Muneaki, the woman behind him attracted even more attention. She was wearing a thin veil that revealed a large area of snow-white skin, and her face was heavily made up, which made her look indescribably charming. Whenever she appeared in an area, there would be waves of exclamations.
Zhou Yi was watching when the woman suddenly turned her head and looked at him with seductive eyes. A creepy feeling suddenly arose in Zhou Yi's heart, and he shuddered unexpectedly. Fortunately, the Jiuxiao true Qi started to circulate automatically and quickly suppressed the nameless fire that suddenly arose in Zhou Yi's body.
Charm technique
Zhou Yi frowned slightly. Speaking of this kind of evil magic that can bewitch people, the Yinkui sect was originally very good at it. However, since the empress came to power, this kind of trick has gradually declined. And Ren Ya has hardly touched upon the secret magic of the devil that she practices. Therefore, Zhou Yi has no experience in this. However, this woman was dozens of feet away from Zhou Yi just now, but she could make Zhou Yi's heart surge with just a glance. She is truly an unfathomable master.
"This woman is the fourth leader of the Hidden Sword School, Tianshui Shengji. It is said that she was just an ordinary disciple of the Divine Water Palace and was ostracized by her peers. She became resentful and learned the unique skills in the "Clavicle Soul-Stirring Heavenly Buddha Scroll" from somewhere. She killed the entire Divine Water Palace. Later, when the second leader, Yagyu Muneiro, traveled to the Central Plains, he brought her back to the Hidden Sword School. From then on, she served as the fourth leader and was the most solid supporter of Yagyu Muneiro."
After hearing this detailed information, Zhou Yi suddenly looked back, only to find Xue Qingcheng's icy face standing behind him.
"It's you?" Zhou Yi was slightly surprised. He pointed to the main venue, Ren Ya, who was hosting the martial arts competition, and said, "Why don't you go to Ren Ya?"
"I don't like crowds. Besides, where is the Godly Greedy Wolf? Who would need me?"
Zhou Yi glanced at the Shenwu Tanlang standing behind Ren Ya in the meeting hall and nodded: "Yes!"
"Hey!" At this time, Tang Shangxin interrupted and said, "Xue Qingcheng, with your knowledge, what do you think the result of this martial arts competition will be?"
Xue Qingcheng frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "The competition in Japan, if nothing unexpected happens, should be dominated by the Hidden Sword School in the end. Even if the seven masters do not participate in the competition, there are still many masters in the Hidden Sword School. Moreover, no matter whether the selected people are from the Hidden Sword School or not, they will all be purged in the end. The result is obvious..."
clang!
The sound of a huge gong suddenly resounded over the sky of Edo Castle, and the first martial arts event in Japan in a hundred years officially kicked off. However, no one noticed that in the midst of the expectation, an indescribable vicious gaze suddenly flashed across, quietly moving from Renya on the stage to Yagyu Muneaki... ... .
"Slay... the dragon... " (To be continued)
