Chapter 1771: A Miserable End

This old man was over sixty years of age, with white hair and beard, yet he was full of vigor, and his entire person radiated an intimidating aura.

"Master Yagyu, you have come." Songyi Chi and the members of the Elder Council stood up in a hurry to welcome the old man.

"I am on good terms with your ancestors, so seeing the Songyi Family face such a predicament, I must lend a hand. But remember, this is the first time, and it is also the last," Yagyu Heiichi said indifferently. "After this matter, the Songyi Family should keep as low a profile as possible."

"Master Yagyu, this matter is entirely my fault. I guarantee that such a thing will absolutely never happen again," Songyi Chi said with a look of shame.

"Master Yagyu, thank you for coming. On behalf of everyone in the Songyi Family, I thank you," an Elder said gratefully.

"I only came here to repay a favor to your ancestors; it has nothing to do with you personally. Your Songyi Family has been going downhill more and more over these years." Yagyu Heiichi glanced at the old man and then said indifferently, "I hope that through this incident, you can understand that everything your family has now is hard-won, and you should cherish it."

"We will, we certainly will, Master Yagyu. Please rest assured." The group nodded and bowed subserviently.

Just at this moment, a leisurely voice rang out in the sky: "I am Chen Yu. Everyone of the Songyi Family, have you washed your necks clean?"

Immediately following this, a figure flashed suddenly and hovered above the main hall. A powerful pressure then abruptly appeared; this pressure carried a vast Heaven and Earth Might, making everyone feel immense strain, and some of the older ones even found it difficult to breathe.

"That brat has finally come." Yagyu Heiichi raised his head, took a step out, and then his figure flashed, suddenly disappearing from the spot.

He walked through the air, stepping across the sky, and then stood opposite Chen Yu. He stood still in mid-air, gazing at Chen Yu from afar.

"You really did come, brat." Yagyu Heiichi drew his blade, took out a cloth, and wiped it slowly. He said in a measured tone, "My sword has not been unsheathed for over seventy years. Now that it sees the light of day again, it must drink its fill of human blood before it can be sheathed."

"Old man, you are advanced in years and quite talented. In a small place like Fusang, it is truly extraordinary to have an anomaly like you appear," Chen Yu said indifferently. "My business with the Songyi Family is not just a personal grudge, but one that traces back to national hatred, so I advise you not to stop."

"If you leave now, there is still time. If you insist on seeking death..." Chen Yu said, a cold glint flashing slightly in his eyes, "... then I do not mind fulfilling your wish."

"Heh, there is a place in Fusang called Liehun Hall. I am only ranked fifth within it; there are four experts ahead of me, so my talent cannot be considered the best. The strongest person in Liehun Hall has already achieved Heaven and Human unity; he represents the Heavenly Dao."

Yagyu Heiichi said slowly, "In other words, even if you kill me, there are four experts stronger than me who will come for you. They will spend the rest of their lives doing only one thing: hunting you down relentlessly until you die."

"So I also advise you: know when to stop. Do not wait until things reach the point of no return to regret it, for by then, even regret will be too late."

"No wonder you are so fearless; so you have a place called the bullshit Liehun Hall behind you?" Chen Yu's expression was slightly stunned; this was something he had never expected. He knew that although the country of Fusang was small, these people were exceptionally tenacious.

Therefore, it was not impossible for a few heaven-defying experts to appear. Before this, apart from that old man from the Ichikawa Family, he had felt that Yagyu Heiichi was the ceiling of combat power in Fusang, but he had never imagined there was a place called Liehun Hall.

"Heh, although our Fusang is small and prone to tsunamis and earthquakes, far less vast and rich in resources than your Huaxia Zhongyuan, we can endure what ordinary people cannot and innovate where predecessors have not. We have been strengthening our own nation; we lie in wait, just to find an opportunity..."

Cold intent erupted from Yagyu Heiichi's eyes, and his expression gradually turned cold: "An opportunity to strike back. When that time comes, not only you, but the entire world will be held in our hands."

"I have always known that your wolfish ambitions have never been extinguished." Chen Yu shook his head slowly and sighed: "The matter of the little boy has not made you repent in the slightest, has it? Liehun Hall, is it? This seems even stronger than those bullshit organizations of Jiutun."

"Heh, Jiutun? Those people in the Divine Dao only believe in some demons. We in Liehun Hall never believe in such things. We know those demons are merely using you to achieve their own ends; we only believe in ourselves," Yagyu Heiichi sneered.

"It is indeed much stronger than those people. Since that is the case, then I agree to your terms." Chen Yu smiled slightly, leaned forward, and said coldly, "Today I will kill you first, and then I will go to your so-called Liehun Hall and wipe out everyone inside..."

"You have a big mouth." Yagyu Heiichi was furious. Liehun Hall was his faith, and it held a supreme position in his heart; he would not allow anyone to insult it.

Chen Yu's wild words made him even more enraged. He swore he would make Chen Yu pay the price. He brandished the blade in his hand: "Draw your sword; I will let you go first."

"You go first. You are old, and I am afraid that once my sword is drawn, you will never have the chance to resist again." Chen Yu smiled indifferently: "You had better seize the opportunity; you only have one chance."

"You are courting death." Yagyu Heiichi stared coldly at Chen Yu. He slowly raised the blade in his hand, then swung it forward horizontally, slashing out with one strike.

Hum— In that instant, a wave of Sword Qi surged out, instantly enveloping the entire area within a thousand zhang of the sky. At this moment, the entire courtyard of the Songyi Family was also completely shrouded; no one within those thousand zhang could escape.

A flash of Sword Light, like a tidal wave, roared toward Chen Yu. Chen Yu stared at Yagyu Heiichi and gestured with his right hand; Lichen appeared.

With one sword thrust forward, the Sword Qi spanned a hundred zhang. Chen Yu let out a deep shout, forcefully pushing the sword in his hand forward. Hum— The Sword Light pushed forward, piercing through Yagyu Heiichi's chest without any obstruction. Immediately following this, over ten streaks of Sword Light pierced through his body, and Yagyu Heiichi's strike was terminated before it could unleash its original power.

His eyes widened, staring fixedly at Chen Yu, revealing a look of disbelief.
