Chapter 1764 1764: Strike Hard When Disturbed
Ling Zhenfei said, "If they come in, whether it's one or two, you all attack together. Make sure that person doesn't get out. I think just once will do, and no one will dare to enter the Hoshino Family's courtyard again."
Ling Zhenfei's words made these people very excited. Who would have thought there was someone as cunning as Ling Zhenfei, if he makes a move, it's with a heavy blow.
"Alright, we'll listen to you."
"Yeah, let's use this method. Drag it out for a few more days, and once my injuries heal, I'll twist off Watanabe Nagayumi's head."
Ling Zhenfei knew these people were smart. As soon as he spoke, they understood.
If the other side provokes for a fight, let them hit a cotton ball. If they're not satisfied and dare to rush in, forget about Jianghu's honor; just charge and beat them up.
Just as the group was discussing what to do, someone suddenly ran outside the room.
"Master of the house, it's not good; people from the Watanabe Family are rushing over with others."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Originally, such private fights were not allowed, so they generally fought at night. Who knew the Watanabe Family would send people at this time?
"Are they planning to fight during the day?"
"Maybe they're here to provoke again. Everyone must stick to their principles and stall if you can."
After speaking, everyone looked at Hoshino Yuji, as he was the head of the family and naturally had to make the decision.
Hoshino Yuji said, "Now that our strength is weakened, we can't show too much weakness. Although we should avoid a fight, our spirit should appear strong."
You may avoid the fight, but don't let the other side look down on you. How about you rest, and I'll go check it out myself.
"Master, we'll go with you."
"Yes, we'll go with you."
Hoshino Junka said, "No, didn't Mr. Ling just say? We're not going to fight; we need to stall them.
Since they've come during the day, I want to see what their purpose is. I don't believe they dare to fight during the day."
With that, only Hoshino Yuji walked out. Ling Zhenfei was also curious about what would happen, so he put on a mask and followed at a distance.
Anyone who didn't know would think Ling Zhenfei was just an ordinary young Samurai beside Hoshino Yuji.
They walked up to the main gate and indeed saw a large group of people from the other side, with one leading the front, looking awe-inspiring.
The Hoshino Family's main gate was burned down last night, but it had already been replaced with a new gate.
Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino Yuji stood together on top of the gate, looking down at the people on the other side.
The group stopped as they approached, and the leader on the opposite side obviously also noticed Hoshino Yuji.
"Ah, so it's the Master of the Hoshino Family personally coming to greet me. It's a rare honor. Why, aren't you going to invite me in for a drink?"
Hoshino Yuji must have recognized the speaker. He then said, "Kugi Murakami, if you want to come in, then come in. I'm just afraid you won't dare."
As soon as Hoshino Yuji finished speaking, the main gate opened directly.
The inside of the gate was empty with nothing, but everyone knew Mayor Kugi wouldn't dare to enter.
Not to mention that only he came, even with a few more experts, they wouldn't dare to enter recklessly.
Kugi Murakami laughed, saying, "I don't think I'll go in. I'm here to deliver a challenge letter."
Hoshino Yuji was puzzled, asking, "A challenge letter? We've been fighting without a challenge letter."
Kugi Murakami laughed, saying, "This time is different. This challenge letter is for the Ichinin Arena."
Hoshino Yuji was stunned, replying, "Ichinin Arena?"
Kugi Murakami chuckled, "That's right, Ichinin Arena. What, are you afraid?"
Ling Zhenfei used his Divine Sense to ask Hoshino Yuji, "What's the Ichinin Arena?"
Hoshino Yuji said, "The Ichinin Arena is the highest honor for us Ninjas. If two Ninjas have a conflict and want to make it public, they can use the Ichinin Arena to challenge.
Both sides can agree on what the loser should do, but the most common is the loser committing seppuku, or abandoning their Northern Spiritual Energy, never to appear again."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, saying, "So, your previous fights were private, but if you go to the Ichinin Arena, it becomes public."
Hoshino Yuji said, "Exactly. Watanabe Kazushi is so shameless. He knows our side is injured, so he wants to use the Ichinin Arena against us. Truly despicable."
Ling Zhenfei said, "What if you don't accept?"
Hoshino Yuji said, "This isn't just between the Hoshino and Watanabe Families now. It's between the Ittō-ryū and Iga-ryu. If I refuse, it disgraces the Ittō-ryū."
Ling Zhenfei said, "They calculated that you'll accept, even for the sake of Ittō-ryū, but you're injured, so you'll surely lose."
Hoshino Yuji nodded, "That's right, that's Watanabe Kazushi's cunning."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since you must accept, then do so. But postpone it as much as possible."
Hoshino Yuji said, "Watanabe Kazushi won't give much time. He came because we're injured."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you don't drag it out, the Hoshino Family is doomed."
Hoshino Yuji smiled towards Kugi Murakami, saying, "Since that bastard Watanabe wants to publicize this, so be it. I was thinking of settling this anyway."
Kugi Murakami didn't expect Hoshino Yuji to agree so readily, catching him off guard. His goal was to force the Hoshino Family to agree.
Kugi Murakami said, "Alright, here's the challenge letter. If there are no objections, see you tomorrow at the Ichinin Arena."
With that, he tossed an invitation toward Hoshino Yuji.
Though just a simple toss, it carried immense Northern Spiritual Energy.
The invitation, enhanced by Northern Spiritual Energy, sped up and was more like a hidden weapon than a letter.
This invitation must have been made from special materials, as even Ling Zhenfei felt a great threat from it.
Ling Zhenfei was very shocked, not expecting this guy to have such a trick.
It was clear that this guy was using this method to test Hoshino Yuji's strength.
But Ling Zhenfei had already discussed with Hoshino Yuji that Hoshino Yuji wouldn't make a move, leaving everything to Ling Zhenfei.
