The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 266: There’s Always Someone Jumping in Front of Me

Kitajima Yu was right. When the name of Ye Xiaoyao reverberated throughout Huaxia, Yagyu Kenei wanted to challenge him.

But the Yagyu Clan held him back, not letting him go to Huaxia, and that’s how it ended.

Now, Ye Xiaoyao has come to Japan...

Indeed, not long after, a shocking message spread in the Japan Martial Arts Realm—a duel between Yagyu Kenei of the Yagyu Clan and Ye Xiaoyao at Mount Fuji in three days.

Yagyu Kenei released a harsh statement: If Ye Xiaoyao dares not come, it would mean admitting that Huaxia’s martial arts are inferior to Japan’s.

The news caused a sensation in the Japan Martial Arts Realm.

These two individuals are extremely controversial.

One is Huaxia’s top genius, the other is Japan’s top genius.

Both have dominated their respective countries’ Martial Arts Realms. Ye Xiaoyao is first on the Huaxia Dragon List, while Yagyu Kenei, aside from his ancestors, is first on the Japan Divine Wind List.

An unprecedented showdown between two super geniuses!

For a long time, the martial arts of Huaxia and Japan have clashed, but never on such a scale.

...

In Huaxia, the Fifth Team received this news, and everyone had a grim expression.

Especially Number One, who sighed, "Ah, the thing we didn’t want to happen has happened. Now we just hope Number Three and Number Four can safely bring Ye Xiaoyao back! Even if he loses this battle, he absolutely cannot stay in Japan."

"Number One, is this Yagyu Kenei really that strong?"

Someone asked.

Number One slowly said, "Last year, I visited Japan, or rather, I happened to witness the rise of Yagyu Kenei. The Yagyu Clan’s swordsmanship is a legacy from a thousand years ago from the Japan Sword Saint, rumored to have condensed a Sword Spirit with their lifetime cultivation! For a thousand years, no one could inherit it, only Yagyu Kenei accepted the inheritance! I think he is more terrifying than Ye Xiaoyao!"

"According to the data, Yagyu Kenei is terrifyingly extreme. He declared early on to flatten the Huaxia Martial Arts Realm, only held back by Wangyue Pavilion."

Someone said.

"So, Ye Xiaoyao is actually very dangerous!"

...

In Huaxia, families or forces with some power also received the news, with mixed reactions.

"Ah! I heard Qingtian is having a big fight in Japan? Will he be in danger?"

Du Lijun and others were extremely worried.

"Don’t worry, the master will be fine!"

Shen Huamo’s eyes flashed with determination.

Strangely enough, rationally speaking, she should have hoped Ye Qingtian would stay in Japan forever.

That way, her status as a maid would be lifted, and she would again be the first beauty of Tianjing.

But seeing the Du Family’s worry and recalling Ye Qingtian’s past, she instead hoped Ye Qingtian would win, and she had confidence that he would.

The Ye Family also gathered together.

"Grandfather, I heard that brat Ye Qingtian might die in Japan?"

Some of the younger members of the Ye Family sneered.

"Yes, I heard Ye Qingtian provoked all of Japan’s martial artists, and they want to make an example of him!"

"As long as Ye Xiaoyao dies, we can drive the Du Family out! Hmph, a bunch of lowly people unworthy of living in our Ye Family ancestral house?"

The younger members of the Ye Family had strong biases.

In Tianjing City before, the young master of the Ye Family was something extraordinary.

Whenever he appeared, many people flocked to him, but now they had fallen from grace, leaving the Ye Family without any status.

How could they not be angry?

Now hearing that Ye Xiaoyao might die in Japan, they couldn’t care less if they burned a few incense sticks.

"All of you, shut up! We have no right to comment on his matters!"

Recalling the day Ye Zeyan was killed, Ye Longkun’s eye twitched harshly.

"Japan?"

Ye Kuangfeng shivered instinctively at the mention of Japan.

That day, Ye Qingtian indeed asked him a question...

As for the Ren Family in Tianjing, their reaction was quite different.

"Vice Minister, this matter indeed seems off, but as long as Ye Xiaoyao falls, you will still be the number one on the Hidden Dragon List and Huaxia’s top genius. Shen Huamo will also return to your side."

The elders of the Ren Family said.

Ren Shaoqing, however, looked indifferent, "Ye Xiaoyao’s situation is no longer my concern, nor do I care about being the top genius. I just want to focus on cultivation! There is one thing I have not told you, the Master of Wangyue Pavilion’s Hidden Tower, Young Master Wu Chen, has agreed to take me as a disciple!"

"What? Young Master Wu Chen wants to take you as a disciple? That’s tremendous news!"

"I knew the Ren Family’s rise was imminent."

Ren Shaoqing glanced over them, "Today, I will go to Wangyue Pavilion. Do not contact me unless it is of utmost importance."

Ren Shaoqing’s gaze was firm, looking into the distance.

He couldn’t truly be indifferent. The purpose of going to Wangyue Pavilion was to surpass Ye Qingtian.

...

"Master, do you know? Someone wants to challenge you..."

Ye Qingtian received a call from Shen Huamo, who informed him of Yagyu Kenei’s challenge.

A cold smile appeared on Ye Qingtian’s lips, "People always try to show off in front of me! I might as well slap them to death."

The Hattori Clan had just regained their composure, only to be terrified when Ye Qingtian appeared again, some even so scared they lost control of their bowels.

"Thud!"

Hattori Gosei was the first to kneel, followed by the others.

"I heard something about Yagyu Kenei wanting to challenge me?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

"Yes, yes, but it has nothing to do with us!"

Hattori Gosei and others were scared out of their wits.

"Oh, take me to find Yagyu Kenei!"

Ye Qingtian said.

"Huh? Take you to find Yagyu Kenei?"

The members of the Hattori Clan were astonished.

Yagyu Kenei challenged him, and he should be avoiding it, not actively seeking it out.

"No! You can’t go find Yagyu Kenei!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside.

Kitajima Junmi and Hattori Yumi arrived.

"Yagyu Kenei has already put down harsh words, wanting to kill you. This is not a sparring match; it’s a duel to the death. Just pretend you don’t know about this and leave Japan immediately."

Kitajima Junmi said.

She had left the Kitajima Clan not long ago to warn Ye Qingtian.

Unexpectedly, she actually found him at the Hattori Clan.

The smile on Ye Qingtian’s lips deepened, with profound meaning.

"Hurry up! Someone take me to find Yagyu Kenei!"

Ye Qingtian said coldly.

"Mr. Ye Xiaoyao, I advise you once more. Yagyu Kenei is truly terrifying. You have no chance of winning, and you may very well lose your life there."

"Junmi, he doesn’t understand the power of Yagyu Kenei and is set on finding him. We should just take him."

Hattori Yumi said.

Kitajima Junmi nodded, "Alright, I know where he is. I’ll take you there."

Japan’s Kyushu Dao.

The Japan Martial Arts Realm flourishes, led by six Great Families.

And the Yagyu Clan dominates the Kyushu Dao, standing tall for a thousand years.

However, upon arriving, Kitajima Junmi found out that Yagyu Kenei was no longer in Kyushu Dao, as he had already gone to Mount Fuji.

"Mr. Ye Xiaoyao, are you sure you don’t regret this?"

Kitajima Junmi reminded once more.

"You woman are so annoying!"

Ye Xiaoyao said coldly.

Kitajima Junmi then fell silent and quietly led Ye Qingtian to Mount Fuji.

The next day, they arrived in Tokyo.

Kitajima Junmi found out that Yagyu Kenei was indeed in Tokyo.
