Chapter 98

Everyone was clapping for Qin Yuyan.

At this moment, it could be said that she was the most dazzling star in the entire venue.

It was foreseeable that after defeating Sasaki Taro, her fame would surpass that of Park Jian Sheng, and she would become famous throughout Kyushu.

The only one who was not pleased at this moment was Sasaki Taro.

He lost!

This was his first challenge in Kyushu.

Losing at the first challenge, how could he continue?

No matter how many matches he won or how many people he defeated, it would not change this fact.

It could be said that his plan to come to Kyushu had already failed completely.

He was a famous swordsmanship genius from Yingzhou and a master of the Koga-ryu ninjutsu, inheriting the lineage of Murakami Bishiden.

When he came to challenge Kyushu, the entire Yingzhou was promoting him, and he even received a lot of resources because of it.

If he returned like this, his life would be over.

According to the rules of Yingzhou, even if his master did not order him to commit seppuku, the唾沫星子 (spittle) of the Yingzhou islanders could drown him.

He absolutely could not return like this.

If he brought this humiliation back, even his family would be implicated.

A sense of humiliation, anger, and fear surged in his heart, and the intent to kill spread, making his eyes turn blood red.

He had not yet admitted defeat, which meant the match was not over, and he could still make a move.

If he lifted the restriction on his cultivation, his Ninth Rank Later Heaven strength would definitely surpass Qin Yuyan's Eighth Rank Later Heaven.

At this point, only by sacrificing himself could he achieve righteousness.

Kill Qin Yuyan!

At least severely damage her meridians, making Kyushu lose a genius!

He could claim that he lost control due to excessive anger, not intentionally killing anyone.

Kyushu, a great nation, always emphasized benevolence and righteousness. Since he injured someone during the match and not by randomly killing on the street, there was a high chance he would not be killed immediately. Instead, he might be arrested and put on trial. At that time, Yingzhou would intervene, and in the best-case scenario, there might even be an extradition.

If he killed Qin Yuyan, the Yingzhou islanders would definitely support him, not despise him.

If he could return to Yingzhou, he would gain significant benefits.

In this moment, Sasaki Taro instantly thought of the most advantageous plan for himself, a plan to resolve the great humiliation of his failed challenge.

Take a gamble!

"Die!"

After figuring out the plan, he did not hesitate for a moment and directly unleashed all his cultivation, rushing towards Qin Yuyan.

With his cultivation fully unleashed, his speed was more than twice as fast as before.

Ninth Rank Later Heaven was already close to the level of a先天宗师 (先天宗师, Xiantian Zongshi, a master of the Xiantian realm). He practiced the famous Koga-ryu ninjutsu, known for its speed.

So, his speed was extremely fast.

Duchang Feng and others on the stands immediately noticed his intentions.

"Ridiculous, how dare you!"

Duchang Feng roared in anger, using his body technique to rush towards Sasaki Taro.

However, as he activated the spiritual energy in his body, the wound inflicted by Youwei began to flare up, the pain and tearing sensation in his meridians causing his movement to instantly pause.

Qin Shenglong and others were only at the master level, and their speed was not much faster than Sasaki Taro's, so they could not catch up in time.

Qin Yuyan had not expected Sasaki Taro to be so despicable.

Caught off guard, she quickly mobilized the spiritual energy in her body, but with the opponent already making his move, he arrived in an instant. Even if she could mobilize her spiritual energy in time, she would not have enough time to make a move.

It's done!

A hint of satisfaction appeared at the corner of Sasaki Taro's mouth.

Killing Qin Yuyan and destroying a super genius of Kyushu would be a great achievement.

It would be enough to make up for his failure in the challenge.

However, at this critical moment, when everyone thought Qin Yuyan was surely dead, a blade of light suddenly shot out from her forehead, emitting a hundred-meter-long blade of light, and slashed down.

Boom!

After a loud explosion, Sasaki Taro was directly split into two halves, and a huge gash appeared on the ground of the venue.

The entire venue fell into silence once again.

Qin Shenglong and the others were stunned halfway, their eyes wide open in shock.

That senior's blade intent could actually be released on its own when sensing danger to counter the enemy?

Amazing!

How strong is that senior?

...

On Ye Xiao's side, after continuous reading, he finally found the last book of the alchemy technique.

After recording it in the golden book, he could fuse it once he completed the cultivation.

The martial artists on the other side also began to discuss Qin Yuyan's match.

There was no doubt that Qin Yuyan had won.

However, what he did not expect was that Sasaki Taro, unable to accept defeat, would resort to underhanded tactics.

Fortunately, his blade intent had killed him; otherwise, a Kyushu person would have been injured by the Yingzhou islander.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao hated the little devils the most. In this life, did he indirectly resist the island?

Thinking about it made him feel quite comfortable.

"Duang~!"

The closing bell of the library rang, and Ye Xiao closed the book, preparing to go home. As he passed the entrance, ready to clock out, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.

He turned his head and caught Wang Jie's gaze.

"Such a coincidence?"

Ye Xiao extended his index finger to clock out, and Wang Jie also clocked out.

"It is quite a coincidence. I haven't seen you for a while, what have you been up to?"

"I've been reading books upstairs recently."

"Still reading? You should find a girlfriend. Do you want me to introduce you to one? Don't worry, I'll definitely introduce you to a well-bred lady, not some frivolous girl."

"Thank you, but I don't want to date for now."

"Alright, I'll go home first. By the way, I'm getting married soon, don't forget to come to the wedding."

As she spoke, a middle-aged man on an electric scooter called out to Wang Jie. Wang Jie waved to Ye Xiao and quickly ran towards the man, sitting on his electric scooter.

The man looked honest and simple, and his clothes were not flashy.

He was a simple man.

A standard catch.

Wang Jie's attire was more formal, without the previous air of a woman of the world. She wore light makeup, and her words were no longer so frivolous.

It seemed that his words had changed Wang Jie somewhat; she wanted to start a new life.

This gave Ye Xiao a sense of accomplishment. As the saying goes:

The two hardest things in the world are to put someone else's money in your pocket and to put your thoughts into someone else's head.

Saving a fallen soul seemed to be more satisfying than synthesizing a powerful technique.

However, Ye Xiao felt that the middle-aged man was quite pitiful.

But in the affairs of the world, if both parties are willing, what does it have to do with him?

As long as the parties involved are happy, that's all that matters.
