Chapter 18 The Roar of the Yang Dragon - Ascension

In an abandoned temple.

As Taiyi entered, the previously quiet environment immediately became noisy.

"Hurry! The person is at the door!"

"Five aren't enough! Come on over here!"

"Damn it, I'd like to see which blind fool dares to mess with us Bloodwind Thieves!"

All the thieves, armed with weapons, rushed towards the entrance, but one thief, pale-faced, ran in the opposite direction towards the side hall of the temple.

Bang!

The door to the side hall of the temple was kicked open, and Xuefeng Wubingwei, who was moving on top of a female member of a merchant family who had been kidnapped, was startled by the sudden noise.

"idiot!"

Without even a loincloth, Bloodwind Gobei, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, swaggered to the door with his little brother, and slapped him hard across the face.

"Don't you know I'm on a mission? Do you want to die?!"

Grabbing his underling by the collar, Xuefeng Wubingwei spat out his words.

"Boss, leader, a very powerful warrior has broken in, and several of our brothers have died!"

The younger brother covered his face, his legs trembling with fear at having witnessed his leader's good deed. But after glancing casually between the leader's two teams, he suddenly straightened up with great confidence.

"Impressive? How impressive can it be! I'm a captain under Brother Azazuki Heibei! What kind of samurai haven't I seen?"

"But, but leader, the other party is really powerful! Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come to you in such a hurry!"

This time, I'm really panicked.

Just thinking about the scene I just witnessed, the image of heads flying everywhere, almost scared me so much that I cured my prostate enlargement, which I've had for many years.

"Damn it! You better not lie to me, Shi Zhiyu, you come with me and take a look!"

After Xuefeng Wubingwei finished speaking, on the other side of the original Buddha statue, a sculpture that looked similar to the Buddha statue next to it suddenly came to life.

Bang!

He landed on both feet, kicking up a cloud of dust, which frightened the assaulted woman so much that she covered her chest and backed away repeatedly.

"So Brother Ishino was here too. That's great! That samurai will definitely be torn in two soon!"

The younger brother stared at the burly man who remained silent, shirtless, with gray skin like cracked stone, wearing a string of single, fist-sized Buddhist prayer beads, and his eyes gleamed.

"Wherever I go, he'll follow. Once this is over, don't you dare bother me!"

He shoved his underling hard, and after seeing him fall on his backside, Xuefeng Wubingwei, with a gloomy face, opened his arms and closed the door again.

Then he turned around, his expression changing instantly. Looking at the woman leaning against the wall not far away, her face pale and terrified, he lewdly said, "The women of Edo are really something else, much better than those dark-skinned monkeys from the countryside!"

"Pah, shameless! We've been playing with that woman for days, and you won't even let the brothers have a taste!" The thief brother came out of the side hall, and as he turned around and spat, he noticed that there were four knives lying quietly under a wall.

"Hey? Which idiot went to provide support without taking any weapons? When did we get such good knives? Never mind, let's take them to the door first!"

The thief was momentarily confused, then scratched the back of his head, quickly picked up the knife, and ran towards the main entrance.

......

Outside the temple wall.

Rantaro Fujinami stared at the wall that was half his height higher than him and fell into deep thought.

I'm so stupid, really...

I couldn't climb over it the first time, thinking it was because there were too many knives and they were too heavy.

Only after I threw the knife did I realize...

"I can't climb up there at all!!!"

Rantaro clutched his head, his eyes bulging as if they were about to burst, his face contorted as he squatted on the ground, inwardly wailing.

Fortunately, in the instant he turned his head, he noticed a tree not far away, and one of its branches extended right into the wall.

"Bloodwind Gobei, your head is mine!"

Rantaro straightened up abruptly and took a running start towards the tree.

He seemed possessed by a ninja, using both hands and feet, and in no time at all, he climbed up.

Then he narrowed his eyes and, while standing on the tree, saw the main hall of the temple and the side hall next to it.

"Bloodwind Gobei must be there! I won't let you down, Taiichi!"

After saying that, Rantaro's aura turned somber, and he charged forward on the tree trunk with murderous intent, preparing to land in a cool pose at a similar spot.

"When I subdue the thief and see Taiichi again, I'll definitely shout that line!" Having already scaled the wall, Rantaro's fighting spirit grew stronger: "Shame on the enemy, I'll strip him naked... Ah!!!"

Pfft!

A heavy thud was heard, and the person on the tree trunk had vanished, leaving only a broken branch behind...

......

The courtyard in front of the temple.

The man-made stream, which had been dry for many years, finally had liquid flowing through it again, but the area it passed through was crimson and had a fishy smell.

"You, you stay away! Get out! Get out..."

The thief, sitting on the ground, pointing his knife at Taiyi and kicking his feet to retreat, hadn't even finished uttering his last word when a flash of cold light appeared, followed by the death of a head.

Snapped......

Tai swung the knife to one side, splashing all the blood from the blade onto the ground.

"Phew~ It seems quiet now. Are they all dead?" Looking at the more than thirty corpses lying on the ground around him, Taiyi finally stopped circulating his breathing technique and stood still to begin regulating his breathing.

"Indeed, unlike defeating the enemy in a few rounds, a protracted battle is a huge test for a samurai."

Feeling the fatigue in his body, Taiyi had to admit that although his opponent's martial arts skills were poor, it was indeed very tiring to defend against the swords that were coming at him at the same time.

"According to the information I've gathered, the reason why Xuefeng Wubingwei is so famous is because after each of his operations, the scene is like an earthquake, with houses collapsing and buildings crumbling." Taiyi walked to a corpse, used the tip of his knife to pry open the person's clothes, and searched for something.

"But given these people's skill level, how did they manage to achieve this result?"

"Could it be that Gobei the Blood Wind is actually very powerful? If so, isn't Rantaro in danger...?"

Taiyi lowered his head, deep in thought, when suddenly his ears twitched.

Then a gust of wind came, and he immediately dodged to the left.

Boom! Crash!

Looking at the large hole in the wall, and following the hole, at the slowly rolling stone mill, Taiyi slowly turned his head back.

In the corner of my eye, a man nearly two meters tall, with grayish skin and a strong, muscular physique, stood not far away.

"So that's how it is. All that destruction was caused by you."

Taiyi said with a sudden realization.

"You damned samurai! This is the top combatant of our Bloodwind Thieves, the invincible giant—Ishi no Mi! You're finished!"

The younger brother, carrying four swords, stood behind Ishino and cursed at Taiichi.

"Hehe, invincible under heaven? That's wonderful." Taiyi turned around, slowly sheathed his sword, then held the sword with his left hand, stepped back with his left leg, bent forward with his right leg, and hovered his right hand over the hilt.

"Great? Are you out of your mind?!"

The younger brother was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, and he stretched his neck and spat out a torrent of saliva.

"Of course it's great! At least that idiot Ranbei is finally safe." Taichi, without changing his posture, slowly lowered his head, staring at the ground, and said slowly:

"Perfect timing, I still have a sliver of strength left..."

"Please open your eyes wide and look carefully, because this is the last glimmer of light you will see in this world."
