Chapter 519: Boring

"Sosuke!"

Seeing his beloved blade being so abused by Li Miao, Tanaka Shinbei let out a wail like a little girl; it wasn't so much that his weapon was gripped, but more like his lower body had been pinched, causing him pain to the core.

"You gave your weapon a name?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is a disease, it needs to be cured, you know?"

Li Miao laughed teasingly.

"Let go!"

Tanaka Shinbei roared, both legs suddenly leaving the ground, leaping up with the Japanese sword as a fulcrum, and delivering a scissor kick toward Li Miao's face.

But just as his body left the ground, his eyes flashed suddenly, and at the same time, a burst of uncontrollable heat and sharp pain came from his palm. A giant force that was difficult to resist was pulling the sword from his hand.

"I—absolutely do not allow it!"

He roared, the muscles in his arm suddenly bulging, attempting to forcibly twist the hilt and stop the other party's movement. But his arm turned, yet the hilt remained motionless, instead scraping his already shattered palm even more miserably.

Blood made it slippery, and his palm was empty.

His body flipped and landed.

His hand was empty; just one encounter, one resistance that couldn't even be called resistance, and he had been forcibly robbed of his sword—if he were an ordinary samurai, he should admit defeat and commit suicide now.

He raised his head angrily.

Li Miao was standing beside Qi Jiguang, holding the hilt with one hand, flicking the blade with two fingers frivolously, producing a buzzing sound, which also made the veins on Tanaka Shinbei's forehead bulge.

"Hmm, it is indeed a good blade."

Li Miao turned his head to look at Qi Jiguang with a smile.

"Do you want it?"

Qi Jiguang replied disdainfully.

"A beast's thing, how can a human use it?"

"Thank you, Lord, for your help; I still have to charge the formation, so I won't bother the Commander here anymore... Go!"

Having said this, he led the Qi Family Army around Li Miao and continued to rush toward the edge of the Japanese pirate battle formation.

Li Miao raised an eyebrow, turned his head, and said to Tanaka Shinbei with a smile.

"I think he's right."

"Since no one wants it—"

He suddenly reached out and pinched the tip of the blade.

In Tanaka Shinbei's shocked and angry gaze, he suddenly bent and folded the Japanese sword downward.

It was indeed a famous blade; it didn't break even after being bent into a fishhook shape by Li Miao, but one could clearly see several cracks extending bit by bit, bursting out small fragments and making a tooth-aching sound at the notches Li Miao had gripped.

Listening carefully, the sound actually sounded somewhat like human wailing.

"Stop!!!"

Tanaka Shinbei could no longer bear it, casually picking up a Japanese sword from the ground and putting it into the scabbard at his waist, rushing toward Li Miao with red eyes.

"Give Sosuke—back to me!!!"

"Yagyu Shinkage-ryu—Moon Shadow!"

Extreme anger brought extreme speed.

His thumb pushed the guard, and the sword light sprayed out from the scabbard, instantly outlining a moon several feet wide in the air!

Ten *zhang* away, the young Japanese pirate stopped his pace, muttering to himself.

"Mushin-ken!"

"Tsk! Even if he can kill the enemy with this, he will exhaust his energy, let alone go to pursue and kill Qi Jiguang! Where did the Central Plains get such an expert!"

"Clearly, we had already figured out the situation of the Dengzhou Guard, how could there be so many accidents!"

As his thoughts turned, he gritted his teeth.

Although he didn't know who the person forcing Tanaka Shinbei to fight for his life was, since Tanaka Shinbei had already used "Mushin-ken," with the current level of the Central Plains *jianghu*, trading the opponent should be a matter of course.

Then he only needed to take his personal guards to intercept the Qi Family Army, and the outcome of this time would still be in his side's hands!

Once his mind was set, he turned decisively, wanting to pursue the Qi Family Army.

But after taking only two steps, he stopped again.

The things that happened ten *zhang* away finally made him widen his eyes and lose his composure.

"How could it be!?"

"How is it possible!?"

Looking in the direction of his gaze.

Tanaka Shinbei swung a huge crescent moon, attracting the eyes of everyone fighting nearby. The Central Plains soldiers were pale, but the Japanese pirates were all blushing, unable to help but open their mouths to cheer.

"【Sword Saint】!"

"Lord Tanaka, may your martial fortune be prosperous!" ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
