Situ Lei Sheng never imagined that someone would dare to attack him, a disciple of the Situ family, within China!
Even the lunatics from the unorthodox sects wouldn't easily provoke a behemoth like the Situ family.
Situ Lei Sheng pointed the common sword in his hand at Takagi Ryuuga before him.
"Come on, you little bastard, I'm right here. Let's see how you're going to kill me!"
Takagi Ryuuga drew his Japanese sword. Situ Lei Sheng noticed that the sword in his hand was thicker and heavier than ordinary Japanese swords. Notably, the blade bore many special patterns resembling lightning, making it quite unique!
The sword in his hand was centuries old, forged by a renowned swordsmith in Japanese history. Its name was Raijin!
It was said that this sword utilized many special metal materials. When the swordsmith was about to quench it, a bolt of lightning struck the sword, imbuing the blade with those mysterious lightning patterns!
These lightning patterns were not merely decorative; they also endowed the sword with certain special properties.
However, despite its power, this sword held no fame or written record in Japanese history. This was because shortly after its creation, it vanished into the annals of history along with its owner.
Later, the sword fell into the hands of the Takagi family, eventually ending up with Takagi Ryuuga!
Facing this unexpected opponent, the Situ Lei Sheng of the past might not have taken this fellow seriously. However, after his trials on Hell Paradise Island, Situ Lei Sheng had learned not to underestimate any enemy!
Situ Lei Sheng's figure flickered, and he unleashed the Situ family's ultimate technique, the Wind Chasing Life-Taking Sword!
His movements were as swift as lightning, leaving behind afterimages. Every strike of his sword aimed for the opponent's vital points!
However, to Situ Lei Sheng's surprise, his attacks were all parried by his opponent. Not only that, but he found that Takagi Ryuuga's speed was no slower than his own; in fact, his moves were even more ferocious.
After just over ten exchanges, the tide of battle had turned. Takagi Ryuuga's Japanese sword relentlessly targeted Situ Lei Sheng's vital points, forcing Situ Lei Sheng to desperately defend himself.
Situ Lei Sheng had clashed with these Japanese individuals on Hell Paradise Island before, but the ones he encountered then didn't seem to possess this level of skill!
This young man before him, only a few years older than Ling Tian, possessed such strength. He might just meet his end here today.
With this thought, his sword speed suddenly increased. With three swift slashes, he forced Takagi Ryuuga to take half a step back. At that moment, Situ Lei Sheng's long sword slashed out fiercely, accompanied by sword energy attached to it!
For the Situ family, the true essence of the Wind Chasing Life-Taking Sword was its sword energy!
Suddenly unleashing sword energy to wound an opponent during combat could undoubtedly achieve the effect of catching them off guard.
However, this method of attack consumed a significant amount of true essence, and Situ family members only resorted to it when absolutely necessary.
Another point was that sword energy was formless and colorless. Its killing effect would be maximized when used unexpectedly.
Yet, Takagi Ryuuga was not caught off guard. With a slight flick of his wrist, the blade of his Raijin sword directly sliced towards the sword energy. Upon contact with the blade, the sword energy immediately dissipated into nothingness!
"Heh, sword energy? A mere trick. You dare to show off with something like this!"
Situ Lei Sheng's face turned green. The Situ family's ultimate techniques were usually kept hidden, lest they be discovered by others. Now, when he used it, it became a joke. This Japanese mixed-blood didn't take him seriously at all!
In fact, the use of sword energy was something many sword masters in Japan had been researching, and it wasn't uncommon. Especially for a genius like Takagi Ryuuga, who had practiced kendo since childhood, he had many ways to counter an opponent's sword energy.
The reason he could detect the sword energy was not only due to his extensive experience but also because his surroundings within a one-meter radius were filled with numerous tiny electrons.
When Situ Lei Sheng's sword energy flew towards him, these electrons, being essentially energy, were disturbed by the energy, which Takagi Ryuuga sensed!
Takagi Ryuuga was no ordinary swordsman. Besides his exceptional swordsmanship, he was also an esper, and his ability was electrokinesis!
Takagi Ryuuga had discovered this ability in his childhood but knew that a treasure brings trouble to its owner. If people knew he possessed electrokinesis, those twisted Japanese might capture him and dissect him in a laboratory for research.
Therefore, he had always hidden his abilities. Unless faced with a life-or-death threat, he would never use his powers. Those who had witnessed his abilities had all become dead men.
However, things changed a few years ago. The spiritual energy on Earth began to revive, and Takagi Ryuuga found his abilities growing stronger, enabling him to do more things.
Consequently, this fellow began to make a name for himself in Japan. He had defeated several renowned swordsmen using only a small portion of his abilities.
Later, however, he realized that he was finding it difficult to find worthy opponents in Japan, and that barren land couldn't help him improve further. Thus, he set his sights on China.
After all, he had Chinese blood, so returning to China wouldn't be considered a transgression. As a result, he met Yulia, the demoness from the Heavenly Demon Sect. The two hit it off immediately, and through Yulia's introduction, Takagi Ryuuga joined the Heavenly Demon Sect, gaining access to abundant cultivation resources, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
And today, Takagi Ryuuga appeared here with the sole purpose of killing Situ Lei Sheng.
As a representative figure of the younger generation of the Situ family, Situ Lei Sheng's death would deal a heavy blow to the Situ family. If they could frame someone else for it, the Situ family would likely seek retribution!
The battle between the two intensified. Situ Lei Sheng fought with all his might. In the clearing within the forest, sword energy flew everywhere. The surrounding trees bore the marks of sword energy, and some branches were snapped in half by it.
As the fight progressed, Situ Lei Sheng was drenched in sweat and began to pant, while Takagi Ryuuga appeared even more composed.
"Haha, the Situ family is nothing special. If this is all you've got, then this place will be your grave today!"
