Chapter 90: Anything could be used as a Weapon

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Anyone who intended to try their hand and help out with the battle was stunned right away. One single swing of the blade, and two Martial Arts Legends were gravely injured. Such combat prowess was nothing short of monstrous.

At the very least, the man was not someone they could have taken on. The man was such a terrifying being that none of them would have even been able to resist for a second.

Everyone was rendered stunned where they stood.

None of them dared to go forward.

The entire scene looked like time stopped flowing altogether.

Both Yang Chengsi and Monk Buyi spat up blood as they were sent flying. Their faces were ashen, and a term that sounded even more frightening came to mind.

National Guardian!

That man was absolutely of the National Guardian Level. Two Martial Arts Legends would not have been so severely injured at the same time from one attack.

That man before them was unbelievably terrifying.

It was only then that they realized what the true trump card that both James and Sakata Juuzaburo had relied on was.

A single National Guardian would have sufficed to kill every single one of them and rescue his people.

If it had not been for Lu Xuan killing both James and Sakata Juuzaburo in the first place, the crowd would have had to meet such a being on the battlefield, and all of them would have probably been doomed.

Everyone recalled Lu Xuan all of a sudden. They, too, had their trump card, after all.

However, everyone began to worry, as they had no idea just how capable Lu Xuan was or if he would be capable enough to take on someone at the National Guardian Level.

“Aida Ryosuke!” Yun Sheng seemed to have recalled something all of a sudden.

He remembered seeing that person in one of the top-secret files in the Special Task Force.

“Aida Ryosuke, known as one of the three kendo grandmasters in Japan, has immeasurable power. I never thought Japan would have sent someone like you as their last resort.” While Yun Sheng’s body was pinned down, his brain functioned very well.

His face was completely ashen at that moment. He had seemingly come to a terrifying conclusion.

It was no surprise why Sakata Juuzaburo and James went around in circles for over two days. They did so just to wait for Aida Ryosuke to arrive.

The plans that the Special Task Force laid out was such that no enemy Martial Arts Legends would be capable enough of rescuing their own. If the reinforcements were people of such levels, they would probably be caught in a ditch all the same. However, things were different at the moment; the enemy actually mobilized a National Guardian.

As the Chief of a Special Task Force branch, he had seen too many top-secret files, and it was only due to that that he realized just how terrifying National Guardians were.

Sheer numbers were pointless before someone of such level of combat prowess.

Everyone saw how Yang Chengsi and Monk Buyi were unable to endure even a single attack from such a person after all.

Aida Ryosuke shot a plain look at Yun Sheng and said, “Not bad. You actually know my name.”

Despite being at such a heightened level of cultivation, he was unable to help but feel rather smug about it. After all, his name had made it all the way to Huaxia. While he was more notorious than famous, the Japanese man did not seem to care.

He then took a look at the bodies of American and Japanese masters sprawled all over the place, especially Sakata Juuzaburo. He frowned. “All pieces of garbage who were unable to hold on for mere moments.”

He came as soon as he received word, but he still failed to make it in time.

“Hand over the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, and I shall refrain from tearing your bodies apart.” Aida Ryosuke then continued plainly, “Seeing how you know my name, I shall grant you a quick death.”

However, his gaze turned from Yun Sheng to Lu Xuan, who was standing beside Yun Sheng.

He sensed an extremely serious threat from the young man, which made him recall that it was that young man who managed to block his blade just moments ago.

At that moment, an ancient bronze sword was seen in Lu Xuan’s hand, which nobody saw him taking out. Faint bloodlust was emanating from the sword, making it look extremely eerie.

However, Aida Ryosuke remembered very well that there had not been a sword in Lu Xuan’s hand before. That fact was glaringly obvious, given how it was such an eye-catching bronze sword.

“I see that you have a piece of spatial equipment on you.”

Aida Ryosuke’s eyes glittered. Spatial equipment was rare, to begin with, and even more so in Japan. His status in Japan was such that he was among the handful at the very pinnacle. He still did not have his own spatial equipment.

He felt the encounter to be a blessing from Amaterasu Okami—the Japanese sun god.

He never expected to find such surprising loot on his trip to Huaxia.

Everyone looked at Lu Xuan with shocked faces when they heard that, yet none of them dared to let their greed get the better of them. They knew better than to mess with a fearsome being like him.

They remembered very well how he managed to kill a Martial Arts Legend with one single kick.

As far as ferocity was concerned, he still ranked above Aida Ryosuke.

Anyone who dared to mess with Lu Xuan practically had a death wish.

Aida Ryosuke attacked before he finished talking, having no intention of fighting Lu Xuan fair and square. He had ambushed even the likes of Yun Sheng, after all, so it was ridiculous to expect him to fight someone like Lu Xuan in a fair fight.

The flash of the sword came right before Lu Xuan like a white, raging torrent cutting through the air. The mirages and sonic booms created terrifying turbulence as the blade headed straight for Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan remained unfazed despite facing such a terrifying attack. The bronze sword in his hand was lifted quick enough to block the incoming slash, just in the nick of time.

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashes was heard when those two blades clashed.

Sparks flew everywhere at the very moment of the clash.

Aida Ryosuke’s attack was blocked, and he backed two steps away, feeling his arm go numb.

He was holding his katana with two hands, and Lu Xuan wielded his sword single-handedly, yet he was the one being at a disadvantage instead.

He was forced to back away, yet Lu Xuan stood where he was without flinching, making it seem as if that attack he pulled with nothing out of the ordinary.

Aida Ryosuke knew just how terrifying that slash he dealt had been. It was an attack that, when reinforced with Spiritual Qi, would have easily cut down even a one-meter-thick block of steel.

Common people, even when armed with a blade, would have been cut down altogether.

He knew that the bronze sword was an extraordinary piece, yet the person wielding it was even more extraordinary.

While Aida Ryosuke went at Lu Xuan with impunity, Lu Xuan gauged Aida Ryosuke as well. He came to realize why the Special Task Force back in his past life had not been able to prevent the seal from being brought out of the country.

Under conventional circumstances, if it had not been for him being around, all those people who came to intercept the robbers would have all ended up killed by Aida Ryosuke alone.

He had not the slightest doubt about that, as such was the power of a Level Seven National Guardian.

National Guardians would not be National Guardians if they did not provide such an overwhelming edge in confrontations.

It would have been disadvantageous to mobilize the military forces for dealing with masters of such caliber in the woods—a place where there was a huge, open space for doing battle.

The enemy would have had an easy time running away. They would have then proceeded to take out the entire legion using guerilla tactics.

It would have all been the same even if the lone enemy was not armed with a gun.

Masters at National Guardian Level were just as how they were described in wuxia novels—people capable of making a weapon out of anything they picked up.

They would have been able to kill with a single pebble.

That was akin to having all of nature as their arsenal. Taking out beings of such level would rack up a list of casualties so frightening that it would have sent shivers down the hearts of the most unfeeling of generals.
