Chapter 277: Chapter 0277 Sword Drawing Technique
At the moment Chiheri Toshimori appeared, Ye Xunhuan suspected that Sato Youichi might be lurking in the shadows.
They already knew that he was here, and given the character of those Island Country devils, they definitely would not fight an unprepared battle. Knowing that he himself was a marshal, yet Sato Youichi still sending them into a losing battle—Ye Xunhuan would not believe there wasn’t another trick up his sleeve even if he were beaten to death.
However, Sato Youichi’s murderous intent was concealed, and he had perfectly hidden himself using ninja techniques. For the moment, Ye Xunhuan didn’t have time to search for him, but he had played a trick to lure the snake out of its hole, using Chiheri Toshimori’s escape to dull Sato Youichi’s senses and force him to reveal himself.
Sure enough, as Ye Xunhuan had expected, upon seeing Ye Xunhuan chase after Chiheri Toshimori, Sato Youichi couldn’t help but make a move, aiming for Qiu Ruoxi inside the car.
However, Sato Youichi didn’t realize Ye Xunhuan had long suspected he was hiding in the shadows, nor did he know that the moment a hint of murderous intent emanated from him, Ye Xunhuan sharply caught it.
Immediately, he hurled Chiheri Toshimori like a human punching bag right at him.
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s mockery and disdain, Sato Youichi was not angered the slightest, "Huaxia has an old saying, a great cause does not concern itself with trivial matters. More so when dealing with a marshal like you!"
"Using some underhanded tricks when necessary is not objectionable!"
"The face of these Island Country kids is not usually so thick." Ye Xunhuan clucked his tongue and said, "But do you think you have the ability to seize someone right in front of me?"
"You overestimate yourself and underestimate me!"
"Marshal, I admit I have underestimated you, but I must also say, you have underestimated me as well!" Sato Youichi snorted coldly, "If I knew you were here and still dared to come, do you think I would do so unprepared?"
"Impossible!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head without hesitation, "You want to kill me?"
"Marshal, I only want the Taiji Seal. Just give me the Taiji Seal, and I will leave immediately!" Sato Youichi directly revealed his motive.
Compared to the death of his disciple and the Taiji Seal, for Sato Youichi, the former was hardly worth mentioning.
He could find another disciple, but the Taiji Seal was one of a kind. If he obtained the Taiji Seal, he would become incomparably powerful. If he could unlock its secrets, even becoming the uncrowned king of the underworld wasn’t impossible!
"What Taiji Seal, I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Ye Xunhuan frowned, his face the picture of innocence.
"Marshal, there’s no need to play dumb in front of me!" Sato Youichi said expressionlessly, "Didn’t you destroy the colossal Yinying using the power of the Taiji Seal?"
"Give me the Taiji Seal, and I’ll turn around and leave. The Taiji Seal shouldn’t be of much use to you any longer!"
"I really don’t know anything about a Taiji Seal." Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly!
"Marshal, it seems you truly don’t intend to give it up!"
"I don’t know what to give you!" Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly again!
"Marshal, you’re forcing me to take action against you."
"I’ll say it one more time, I don’t know what a Taiji Seal is. If you’re looking for death, I don’t mind obliging you."
"Marshal, if you were properly seated in your kingdom, doing your duty as a king, I might hesitate to take action against you, but now, you are in Huaxia, not your kingdom!"
"You’re really quite long-winded." Ye Xunhuan said impatiently, "I don’t have the Taiji Seal. If you’re going to take action, then hurry up; if not, then get lost and stop wasting my time!"
"Marshal, you’re seeking death!" 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
As his words fell, Sato Youichi suddenly burst forth!
"Whoosh!"
Sato Youichi, as if employing a teleportation spell from a world of magic, left behind a shadow with his terrifying speed, reappearing in front of Ye Xunhuan.
The long sword in his hand was swiftly drawn out!
Sword Drawing Technique!
The Sword Drawing Technique, also known as Iaido, originated from Huaxia’s two-handed sword technique, the waist-striking style. It is recorded in "War Preparation" that "the waist-hitting stance, that is, striking through the waist—should charge horizontally to kill, with the body, steps, hands, and sword as fast as lightning. This strike is the prime strike of the sword. With the right foot and right hand in the Snake-cutting Stance, step forward against the scales!"
The Sword Drawing Technique evolved from this!
Once Sato Youichi makes a move, it is the fierce Sword Drawing Technique!
The key to the Sword Drawing Technique lies in the word "draw," with a speed that’s incredibly fast. Once the sword is drawn, it strikes like lightning, not only catching one off guard but also swirling in the air like a flood dragon, utterly bizarre.
Thinking of drawing the sword? No way!
The moment Sato Youichi’s right hand grasped the sword hilt, Ye Xunhuan moved, his figure swiftly appearing in front of Sato Youichi; his right hand transformed into a long whip, lashing directly towards Sato Youichi’s face!
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
As the hand whip lashed out, it scattered the air in front of it. The sharp wind was like a blade coming directly at one’s face!
It made Sato Youichi’s heart skip a beat. If he were to be struck by Ye Xunhuan, he would be gravely injured if not dead!
Almost instinctively, Sato Youichi abandoned the motion to draw his sword, hurriedly stretching out his arm to block!
"Bang!"
The muffled sound echoed, a terrifying force suddenly erupted, not only pushing Sato Youichi back several steps but also causing his right hand to tremble uncontrollably at that moment.
The next moment, Sato Youichi fiercely shook his hand, as if attempting to draw his sword again.
But just then, Ye Xunhuan swiftly appeared in front of him, his right hand transforming into a claw, reaching directly for Sato Youichi’s chest.
The sharp claw was like a steel claw, extremely fierce.
Sato Youichi’s face changed dramatically, forcing him once again to abandon the act of drawing his sword, hurriedly retreating.
Ye Xunhuan did not pursue, instead looking at Sato Youichi with disdain, "Don’t waste your effort. You aren’t even qualified to draw your sword in front of me; only a Tengu might be barely able to execute the Sword Drawing Technique in front of me!"
Tengu, one of the top ten masters from the Island Country, his strength unparalleled!
To hear Ye Xunhuan suggest that even Tengu was barely good enough to draw his sword in front of him was an absolute insult to Sato Youichi, not just offending him but also degrading the masters of his country.
"Marshal, you are far too arrogant!" Sato Youichi roared, stomping his foot on the ground, his entire body launching forward like a sword thrown at Ye Xunhuan!
"Swish!"
In just a flicker, Sato Youichi was before Ye Xunhuan. This time, he did not attempt to draw his sword, but somehow the sword had already moved into his right hand. Just as he was about to reach Ye Xunhuan, Sato Youichi flicked his right hand, and the scabbard transformed into a streak of black light, like dark lightning, rushing towards Ye Xunhuan.
The scabbard was like a sharp sword, creating a sound of breaking the air.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan’s pupils slightly constricted, Sato Youichi had switched to a different maneuver to unsheathe his sword!
"Swish!"
In just a flash, the scabbard was before Ye Xunhuan.
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan swiftly whipped out a hand, sending the scabbard flying to one side, but at that moment, Sato Youichi, carrying his sword, charged at Ye Xunhuan.
The long sword struck down with the force of Mount Tai bearing down, as if to split Ye Xunhuan into two!
