    Han Bin felt that although his axe had clearly struck the opponent, it was as though he had chopped into some invincible iron object, the fierce rebound force numbing both of his arms.


    He nearly couldn’t hold onto his axe.


    Li Yan also found it unbelievable as the blade of her slashing sword even curled up.


    How could this…


    However, before they could react, Murakami Hideyoshi had already extended his hand, pressing it against both of their bodies.


    He forcefully pushed their charging figures back.


    “Pu–”


    “Pu–”


    Both spat out fresh blood, like two leaves blown backwards with the strong wind, crashing violently into the nearby bushes.


    “Han Bin!”


    “Li Yan!!!”


    Members of the Summer Country all around exclaimed in shock, rushing to where the two had fallen.


    Han Bin lay in a pool of blood, struggling for a long time but unable to stand up.


    Seeing Li Yan manage to stand up with assistance, his expression slightly startled.


    “She…”


    “Hm?” Murakami Hideyoshi also appeared somewhat surprised as he looked towards Li Yan, seemingly not expecting this girl to be able to stand up after his strike.


    “You’re somewhat interesting?”


    Li Yan’s mouth was covered in blood, her cold gaze fixing on him: “You haven’t faced Master Pei, otherwise ten of you would not be enough for him to kill.”


    “Laughable, whether you’re from the Special Investigation Department or Foggy Mountain, how many of you are enough for me to kill? How many of those old fools from your Summer Country can still move?” Murakami Hideyoshi said with a cold laugh, his attitude arrogantly wilful.


    He strolled forward as if taking a casual walk in the park,


    as if this was his home ground.


    “Probably you all think, with your strength, you can take me on… But unfortunately, for you little frogs in the well, you have no idea what real power is.”


    Murakami Hideyoshi spoke as if mocking them, his tone also tinted with pity as he looked upon Li Yan and the others: “You are truly pitiful, in times like these with such changes in the world, yet you still cling to your ignorant power, unwilling to adapt, and completely unaware of what true power is…”


    Suddenly, from behind the Palace Ji’s Assassins, a ghastly thud sounded, interrupting Murakami Hideyoshi’s following words.


    He paused,


    turning his head to look.


    One of his own members had been flung from the hilltop like a cannonball.


    Crashing hard on the ground.


    Plowing a trail of five to six meters, then rolling to a stop at the entrance of the woods.


    Almost simultaneously,


    everyone’s vision landed on the tragic figure of this assassin.


    Although the skin on his body didn’t have any sign of being broken, copious amounts of blood were spilling out, indicating burst internal organs. Beside the deep crater he created, blood rapidly pooled.


    “There is someone… someone… coming in…”


    This assassin opened his mouth, weakly looking at Murakami Hideyoshi, trying hard to say something, but never got to finish his sentence.


    “Err?”


    Murakami Hideyoshi’s expression instantly changed.


    His eyes nearly shooting out flames.


    There was still a Summer Country Warrior hiding nearby that he had not detected!!!


    Who was it?


    Who could have escaped his perception…


    Just as shock started to rise in Murakami Hideyoshi’s mind, the assassin who was still trying to say something suddenly screamed.


    A Summer Country official combat boot entered everyone’s vision.


    “Crack.”


    The assassin’s neck was stepped on and under the nervous watch of everyone… it snapped.


    Following that, a calm voice came through: “Palace Ji’s scum, why have you come again?”


    He turned his head towards Murakami Hideyoshi, not even waiting for Li Yan and the others to shout out, he lifted his hand–


    “Swoosh–”


    Bright light flickered.


    Everyone’s vision was stripped away, and the last glimpse before their eyes… seemed to be a flash of sword light.


    After that–


    Boom–a thunderous, earth-shattering sound.


    Pei Jinye had absolutely no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Murakami Hideyoshi!


    The moment his figure vanished from the spot,


    the ground underneath instantly cracked, as if struck by an immense, powerful force, and collapsed violently!


    The Palace Ji’s Assassins along the path felt as if the air around them had been sucked away, and with Pei Jinye charging forward, the sweeping currents of air exploded with intense roars.


    The forests on both sides let out sounds of unbearable strain, shaking violently.


    In this vacuum where the air had been drained, countless flashes of light seemed to be suppressed by a stroke of Sword Light.


    Time seemed to freeze at this moment.


    Murakami Hideyoshi, upon seeing this scene, felt his entire body’s hair stand on end as he widened his eyes in disbelief, unable to accept that such swordsmanship could be wielded by a Summer Country Warrior.


    As an unprecedented sense of immense crisis rose in his heart, he had no time to speculate; the enlarging Sword Light before his eyes and the whistling of the wind in his ears all reminded him–


    This sword… is very strong! Very strong!


    With a cry of alarm!


    Murakami Hideyoshi roared angrily, with no time to dodge the sword, he charged head-on.


    Even less time to draw the Giant Sword from his back; he could only brace for the strike with gritted teeth.


    “Bang!”


    Murakami Hideyoshi’s figure was sent flying like a cannonball by a single slash!


    Mid-air.


    He bellowed fiercely.


    Finally finding the opportunity, he drew his Giant Sword.


    “Get out of my way!”


    With a downward slash, drawn from above.


    The booming sound emitted a terrifying resonance that exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder.


    At this moment, Murakami Hideyoshi’s face turned ferocious, filled with savagery.


    The energy bursting from his body was extremely immense; the muscles in his arms swelled, resembling entangled tree roots, and one could faintly discern the hue of circulating blood beneath his skin.


    In the moment that nearly matched Pei Jinye move for move, Murakami Hideyoshi knew he had met the opponent of his lifetime.


    He pushed his momentum to the pinnacle.


    His will to fight also rose to its peak!


    With a “clang” sound.


    He blocked Pei Jinye’s sword.


    But what caught Murakami Hideyoshi off guard was that he thought he was stronger than Pei Jinye.


    However–


    “Bang! Bang! Bang!”


    The ground beneath his feet burst open, as if being plowed, and his body was continuously pushed back!


    “Get lost!”


    Murakami Hideyoshi roared.


    His swordsmanship, known for its ferocity and cunning, immediately adapted, filled with killing intent.


    The robe on his body billowed.


    Making a sound like tearing silk.


    He himself was like an arrow shot from a crossbow, each move accompanied by a piercing explosive noise.


    Pei Jinye seemed to be able to precisely predict all his moves.


    With the Particle Gathering Shield, he blocked Murakami Hideyoshi’s sword.


    At the same time, he suddenly lowered his shoulder, diverting Murakami Hideyoshi’s sword, followed by a quick side-step, and his whole body suddenly surged to the side!


    Murakami Hideyoshi’s eyes widened.


    He could not believe that his sword had left not even a scratch on Pei Jinye’s body, as if something invisible had blocked it.

    What he least expected–


    Was that Pei Jinye would engage in close-quarters combat in an instant.


    Even more cunning than his own Martial Arts!!!


    …


    “Crack!”


    The sound of bones breaking!


    Incredibly piercing!
