Chapter 491

That line, once spoken, was practically enough to make one's eyes pop out of their head!

Five hundred years ago, the Eastern lands were still in the midst of the Warring States period!

"I think I can probably guess why you wanted to help me, and why you killed Kawada Genmu." Kuchiki Senya's eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "But… why would you be~tray your ancestors?"

"The Kawasaki clan are Eastern warriors — there's nothing improper about that." Kawasaki Heishiro said: "Besides, isn't your Kuchiki clan also coveting the Eastern lands' secret wea-pons?"

That remark plunged Kuchiki Senya into silence.

Indeed, the reason the Kawasaki clan possessed the strength they did today was largely tied to those secret weapons — only, very few people knew of this matter.

"On this matter, I advise you not to interfere; otherwise, you'll come to harm. We are not enemies." Kuchiki Senya said.

"Unfortunately, I cannot agree to your request." Kawasaki Heishiro said.

"Then…" Hearing this, a ruthless glint surfaced in Kuchiki Senya's eyes: "I can only send you to meet your family."

As he spoke, he took a single stride forward, his body leapt into the air, and the Wu Shidao in his hand came slashing down in a sudden, violent stroke!

Whoosh!

The blade-light split the air, falling straight down upon Kawasaki Heishiro's head!

However, at that very moment, Kawasaki Heishiro suddenly sidestepped three chi to the side!

At the same time, his feet stamped the ground, and the Tang Dao in his right hand lashed out abruptly, streaking straight toward Kuchiki Senya's neck!

The two Wu Shidao crossed each other in an instant!

Clang!

The sound of Jin Tiejiao rang out in an explosive burst!

Kawasaki Heishiro retreated half a step; his left arm went numb, his Hukou split open, and fresh blood instantly dyed the hilt red!

"Kuchiki Senya, it seems that after all these years, your swordsmanship has not declined in the slightest." Kawasaki Heishiro said, narrowing his eyes.

"I've never retreated." Kuchiki Senya's tone was icy; he gazed at the man before him, and the wariness in his eyes grew even more pronounced.

Because he simply could not judge whether this Kawasaki Heishiro had truly been fighting at full strength or not!

"I know what you're worried about, but let me tell you this — if you can't finish me off in this state, then you won't be able to leave here alive today at all!"

··· Seeking flowers···

That man looked at Kuchiki Senya, a clear contempt and mockery surfacing in the depths of his eyes; then he said: "This is a battlefield belonging to the Shinobi; you lot simply don't have the right to set foot in this place!"

Hearing this, Kuchiki Senya gave a cold snort; then, from his waist, he suddenly drew two Wu Shidao!

This was a weapon resembling "Yamata no Orochi" — its scabbard was shaped like white bone, and its blade-tip was in the form of a savage wolf's fang, looking sinister and terrifying.

In the Eastern lands, the Wu Shidao is the symbol of all honor; the vast majority of ordinary Eastern folk believe that their national-treasure Wu Shidao is the most precious cultural relic of the Eastern lands.

And such Wu Shidao, in this world there are eight in total, distributed across the eight corners of the Eastern lands.

And the Kuchiki clan is the family responsible for safeguarding these eight Wu Shidao!

From this, one can see just how noble Kuchiki Senya's status and position were!

The moment Kuchiki Senya drew out his Wu Shidao, the surrounding air seemed to freeze solid.

The distance between the two of them was not far; close-quarters combat was only a moment away, and Kawasaki Heishiro's figure suddenly sprang into motion.

The long blade in his hand flashed like a bolt of lightning! Nai.
