Chapter 247: Jianghu World

Upon hearing those four words, even someone as formidable as Kuchiki Senya couldn't help but shudder!

Because, more than twenty years ago, the Jianghu World of the Eastern Lands still had another name that resounded throughout the entire nation!

"The Ninja Alliance—do you know what those four words represent?" the old man named Sato Toshio said lightly, his words carrying a flavor of looking down on all beneath heaven.

"The Ninja Alliance…"

Hearing this, a look of absolute horror burst forth in Kuchiki Senya's eyes: "It's you! Those ninjas were all sent by you~?"

Sato Toshio snorted lightly: "That's right, I dispatched them to support Yamamoto Kyoko."

The truth of this answer was already plain as day.

"Then my sister… was killed by you?" Every muscle on Kuchiki Senya's body instantly tensed!

"That's right, this was your sister's own choice." Sato Toshio looked at Kuchiki Senya: "Your sister was an extremely arrogant and stubborn Miss; if I didn't pressure her a little, I'd never get her to admit defeat."

"Heh." Kuchiki Senya let out a mocking, cold laugh, "She thought I wasn't worthy of marrying her."

"No, you're worthy of her." Sato Toshio said: "If I were you, I'd marry her right away."

"So that's why she died?"

A tinge of sorrow surfaced in Kuchiki Senya's voice.

"Yes, I had people blow her to death with firecrackers."

A benevolent smile played on Sato Toshio's face, as though he were looking at a child he himself had raised.

"Why did you do this? I hold no grudge against you." Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes and said: "Perhaps we could find a quiet place to talk."

"Talking is fine." Sato Toshio said lightly: "However, I think your head can stay behind first."

Having said that, he reached out his hand and grabbed toward Kuchiki Senya.

Whoosh!

Kuchiki Senya suddenly drew the slender sword at his waist and thrust straight out!

However, Sato Toshio didn't try to block head-on; he merely tilted his body slightly to dodge this fatal strike, then threw a punch that slammed heavily into Kuchiki Senya's ribs.

Thwack.

A spray of blood suddenly burst from his thin, withered arm!

One blunt strike had made him cough up blood!

"Pathetic." Sato Toshio commented lightly: "If I wished it, you wouldn't be able to resist at all."

"I admit, I'm no match for you." Kuchiki Senya wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "But even if I'm surely going to die now, I'll definitely drag you down with me."

His gaze was resolute and piercing, utterly fearless.

"You don't understand, we can perfectly well sit down and talk—why must you stubbornly go your own way and push yourself into an abyss of no return?" Sato Toshio sighed, a profound gleam flickering in the depths of his eyes.

"Talk?" Kuchiki Senya asked with a cold laugh: "What kind of talk? Are you going to tell me that my loved ones were killed by you? That my parents were burned by you?"

"That's right, that is indeed what I think." Sato Toshio said: "But your parents brought death upon themselves."

...... 0 0

"Your reasoning is quite thorough." Kuchiki Senya said: "I won't avenge them, nor will I stop them; they no longer deserve my respect."

"No." Sato Toshio glanced at the bones scattered around, shook his head, then said: "You still owe me two lives."

This man, hailed as the strongest divine ninja of the Eastern Lands, had finally revealed the true purpose of his visit.

"The debt I owe you, sooner or later I'll repay you with interest." Kuchiki Senya was silent for a moment, then said: "But before that, I'm going to kill you first."

Having said that, he raised his left arm, and five samurai long swords flew out simultaneously, shooting toward Sato Toshio!

"You think an attack of this level can hurt me?"

Sato Toshio's eyes were filled with utter contempt!

With a light flick of his sleeve—
