Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 198 - 187: Japanese Master, Deceptively Real Ninja Art

Bone Joint Technique, Godslaying Stab!!

’So much for the strongest of the new generation. He’s nothing special after all. Lord Sanada, it looks like your Divine Unyielding One-Slash won’t be needed!’

A smile touched Sen Dizang’s lips.

His attack was about to strike Yi Beidou’s ribs and plunge into his chest. However, at that very moment.

He suddenly felt as if all the light around him was dimming. He saw dazzling points of starlight igniting one by one on Yi Beidou’s body.

BOOM!!

An incredibly terrifying wave of Evil Qi and murderous intent erupted from Yi Beidou’s body.

If his own Godslaying aura was an ocean, then the Evil Qi and murderous intent erupting from this man was as vast as the heavens.

The man seemed to have transformed into a god who commanded life and death!

The next moment.

A scorching Demon Flame coiled around Sen Dizang’s body.

He felt as though everything around him was twisting, as if heaven and earth themselves had been inverted. His murderous intent and True Intent were suppressed and distorted by that boundless will. The terrifying aura he had accumulated was instantly weakened, his movements grew sluggish, and the explosive power of his attack was drastically reduced.

’What is this?!’

Meanwhile, after throwing the palm strike, the man—as if needing no time to recover—savagely twisted his body at the waist. He showed no intention of defending his exposed flank, instead smashing a full-power backhand fist toward Sen Dizang.

In this scenario, Sen Dizang might be able to stab Yi Beidou’s side, but Yi Beidou’s descending fist would inevitably strike his head.

His opponent’s sudden eruption of Demon Flame, combined with this life-or-death fighting style, instantly turned the tables on Sen Dizang.

’His True Intent’s influence is so strong! As I thought, he’s not going to be easy to deal with!’

Sen Dizang snorted coldly. In mid-air, his body twisted in an incredibly bizarre way, shifting the target of his stab from Yi Beidou’s side to the incoming backhand fist.

BOOM!!

The two collided, and a ring-shaped shockwave erupted. Sen Dizang’s strength was naturally no match for Yi Beidou’s, and now, intentionally using the force of the blow, he was sent flying three to five meters by the backhand fist.

The moment he landed, his figure flickered, and he began circling Yi Beidou at extreme speed, adopting a strategy of harassment.

’This man’s True Intent and physique are both incredibly powerful. He’s tough to handle. Without using a life-gambling Secret Technique, it seems I’ll have to rely on Lord Sanada’s strength after all,’ Sen Dizang thought.

At that moment, the Beidou Seven Stars seemed to reverse in the sky. Shrouded in Demon Flame, each strand of Yi Beidou’s hair stood on end as he calmly watched the rapidly moving Sen Dizang.

Meanwhile, he also sensed a threat on the periphery that was constantly expanding, growing more and more terrifying.

It was the man in the white Kendo Uniform.

This man moved with light steps, flickering around the edge of the battle, seemingly searching for the right position. From start to finish, he had yet to attack.

But Yi Beidou could clearly feel that with each passing moment, the man’s aura was growing ever larger. His Life Magnetic Field was like oil thrown on a raging fire, burning ferociously. And the man’s eyes gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

This sensation was rather similar to what he had felt when Devi used the Eye of God.

’Some kind of technique for building up power?’

’How interesting.’

’Then let me see... What kind of power can you unleash when your Taoist Skill reaches its peak?’

A smile touched Yi Beidou’s lips. His gaze returned to Sen Dizang, who was flickering about before suddenly splitting into five figures and attacking him once more.

’In that case, I’ll play with you a little longer.’

’It’s a good chance to see for myself if this so-called Eastern Ninja Technique has any more tricks up its sleeve.’

Right now, if Yi Beidou were to unleash his full power, he could end this battle at any moment.

But he wasn’t about to do that. He wanted to see his opponents at their strongest.

If he didn’t defeat them at their peak, how could he bring them a despair as absolute as a heavenly tribulation?

"This is bad!"

When Du Yuzhu and Qiao Fei saw that Yi Beidou and Sen Dizang were locked in a struggle, seemingly evenly matched for the moment, the color drained from their faces.

The situation might look like a stalemate, but in reality, Yi Beidou was being led step-by-step into a deathtrap.

After all, only Sen Dizang was actually fighting. The Sword Saint from Japan had yet to make a move!

Having been in Japan for many years, they couldn’t possibly be ignorant about Sanada Katsuhiko.

Before Zhou Qingchen of Mount Emei came onto the scene, Sanada Katsuhiko was Asia’s youngest Saint. He achieved Ascension at thirty-three, and his exceptional talent stunned the world at the time.

This was especially true given the nature of the Sword Dao he practiced: the longer a battle dragged on, the more it favored him.

In every battle, from start to finish, he only ever makes one strike.

One slash to decide the outcome.

If he was allowed to finish building up his power to its peak, the terrifying might unleashed by that single slash would be comparable to the final, life-ending blow of a veteran Saint Expert using a Life-Sacrifice Secret Technique!

That slash, according to legend, is named "Divine Unyielding"!
