Chapter 247 - Shrine (I)

n
nAs the higher ups of the Asou clan gathered, Chen Yiming didn’t waste any more time. He slashed out with an ordinary-looking Sword Aura attack.
n
nIf all the countries on the blue planet followed the sacrificial rituals used by Japan, they might be able to obtain the help of such unstable spirits in the short term.
n
nHowever, in the long run, it would undoubtedly be an act of self-destruction. Once a spirit exceeded the range of their control, the first target would be the humans themselves.
n
nWhether it was to eliminate evil or to uphold justice, Chen Yiming had no reason not to destroy the Asou clan.
n
n“Everyone, attack together,” Asou Kazuo roared as he felt the incoming Sword Aura that could cut through anything.
n
nHe stared nervously at the air in front of him and drew his katana. The elders beside him did the same and drew their katanas.
n
nThis was what they had discussed earlier. Facing the expert from the Daxia Kingdom who had killed two of the Asou clan’s spirits, they did not dare to be careless.
n
nA slash formed by internal force was unleashed under the lead of Asou Kazuo. The sword beam carried an earth-shattering force, and on the surface, it was not weaker than the Sword Aura.
n
nImmediately after, the attacks from the elders were like assassins hidden in the waves, fusing into the sword beam from Asou Kazuo’s attack.
n
nThe Asou clan was a large clan in Japan. They did not only have the spirits as their foundation, but also a powerful combination of katana techniques.
n
nWith Asou Kazuo, who was at the peak of the warrior realm as the clan head and a group of elders who had mastered the transformation of internal force as support, it was equivalent to Chen Yiming attacking the Myriad Phenomena Sect. There was no record of anyone defeating the Asou clan in the history of the clan.

n
n“Master.”
n
nAsou Nishiko’s mouth fell open slightly when she saw this, and her face turned pale.
n
nAlthough Chen Yiming had killed two spirits at the peak of the warrior realm in a row, he was facing the combined forces of the higher ups of the Asou clan.
n
nIf the Asou clan did not have the strength, they would have long been killed and reduced to dust.
n
nOf course, she did not know that the last spirit had already been transferred to the shrine. In fact, the Asou clan was already prepared to give up everything.
n
n“Crack!”
n
nIn the match between the Sword Aura and the sword beam, the Sword Aura broke through the layers of the opposing force in just a flash.
n
nThe combined attack from the higher ups of the Asou clan was shattered and sent flying like a railing that had been broken by a huge rock.
n
nAt the last moment, Asou Kazuo and the elders relied on the short opening to dodge the Sword Aura that swept past.
n
nHowever, the Asou clan territory behind them was not so lucky. It had already endured two slashes earlier, and after the third slash, the remaining buildings had all been razed to the ground.
n
nDust fell from the sky, revealing a completely flattened land on the territory of the Asou clan.
n
n“How is that possible!”
n
nHearing the sound of buildings collapsing behind them, the Asou clan fell silent.
n
nAsou Kazuo’s white hair had mostly withered in an instant. This was a sign that he had completely lost confidence and he had already given up.
n
nThe other elders were not much better. When experts fought, they could roughly determine the difference between them and their opponents.
n
nFrom the fact that their combined attack was easily broken, it could be seen that the two sides were like a tiger and a lamb. By teaming up, the lambs were only helping the tiger to save its strength.
n
nWhy was there such a genius in the Daxia Kingdom? Why did they have to go against the Asou clan? Could it be that they were the children of a martial master?
n
nFacing such a powerful enemy, the Asou clan regretted not escaping right from the start.
n
n“Sir, Japan is facing an attack by radioactive creatures from the otherworld. Aren’t you afraid of being despised by the world if you destroy the Asou clan now?” Asou Kazuo said slowly, his body trembling.
n
nHe could not defeat his opponent at all. As the head of the clan, he could only reason with him.
n
n“Oh? Is the Asou clan planning to stand up and become the vanguard against the radioactive creatures from the otherworld?”
n
nChen Yiming glanced at the people in front of him and laughed.
n
nHe did not believe Asou Kazuo’s words at all. The Japanese did not have a martial arts master who could truly suppress the whole country with their strength. In reality, they were in a state of disunity. It was impossible for the large clans from all over the nation to work together to help.
n
nThe radioactive creatures had probably already reached their doorstep. These factions were still watching from the sidelines. Before dealing with the foreign enemies, they were thinking about preventing other factions from backstabbing them.
n
n“Of course, the creatures from the otherworld are humanity’s greatest enemy. The Asou clan naturally follows the emperor’s orders,” Asou Kazuo was overjoyed by the flicker of hope and said righteously.
n
nIn his heart, he hoped that Chen Yiming would spare their lives for the sake of humanity, seeing that the Asou clan still had value on the battlefield.
n
n“That’s too fake. There are no nuclear power plants in Kobe City.”
n
nChen Yiming shook his head and laughed.
n
nHow could he not know about the situation with the Asou clan? Unless someone held a knife to their necks, they would only protect their own territory.
n
n“Sir, the Asou clan is willing to submit to you and work under your command,” Asou Kazuo hurriedly said.
n
nUnfortunately, they didn’t understand Chen Yiming’s true motive for targeting the Asou clan. External forces were ultimately not as useful as his own strength. Moreover, a faction at the peak of the warrior realm was of limited value to Chen Yiming.
n
n“If you can survive my next attack, the Asou clan will be worth keeping alive.”
n
nAs Chen Yiming spoke, he tightened his grip on the peach wood sword in his hand. At this moment, this ordinary sword seemed to have gained a spiritual light and became a weapon that thirsted for blood.
n
nA beam of Sword Aura condensed in the air, and a pressure like a tsunami surged out from it. The Sword Aura cut across a distance of one kilometer and slashed straight at the Asou clan.
n
n“Damn it, you forced us to do this.”
n
nAsou Kazuo’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected that Chen Yiming wouldn’t let them off even after the Asou clan had already knelt down in submission. Faced with the Sword Aura with such a huge range of attack, any thoughts of escaping were extinguished.
n
nThe other elders were all dumbfounded.
n
nIn theory, it was impossible for a move at the peak of the warrior realm to reach a range of one kilometer. Only a martial master could make an attack with a range of a few kilometers.
n
nThe reason was that the overall level of the humans on the blue planet was too low. They were far from reaching the maximum limit at each realm.
n
nAsou Kazuo took out a simple device and pressed the button on it. Then, he swung his katana again. Instead of escaping, he faced the Sword Aura that was slashing at him.
n
nWhen the elders of the Asou clan saw this, they understood that this was the worst case scenario and they would all die together.
n
nThe clan’s last spirit had already been transferred to the shrine, and there were still members of the Asou clan scattered outside this territory. As long as they killed this expert from the Daxia Kingdom, the Asou clan would have a chance to rise up again.
n
nThey used their bodies to block the Sword Aura.
n
nAt the same time, the ground under their feet began to shake. Immediately after, it exploded like a volcano.
n
nThe Asou clan had buried countless explosives underground. This was their last resort, which was to perish together with their enemy. They had never had to use it before.
n
nAt the moment of the explosion, thick smoke mixed with flames billowed and rose 100 meters into the sky, dying the sky gray and black.
