"The Other Shore Flower?"
Hearing the name, Sakurai Long also changed his expression. He had naturally heard of the Other Shore Flower.
The road to the Yellow Springs, the Other Shore Flower, was something that grew in the underworld, very enchanting, but it was just a legend. He never expected that there would really be such a thing as the Other Shore Flower in the world.
"Teacher, isn't this thing legendary? Does it really exist?"
Sakurai Long looked at Lu Yang and asked.
"It does exist in the world, but it's a little different from the legend. Thank you for this thing, I'm very happy!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and said.
"You're welcome, teacher. It is my honor to be able to do things for you!"
Sakurai Long quickly said.
"Mm!"
"You can go down now. I need to refine these things!"
Lu Yang nodded and continued.
"Yes, teacher!"
Sakurai Long listened to Lu Yang's words and obediently walked towards the outside.
Lu Yang quickly put away the Other Shore Flower. As for the jade stones on the ground, they were of no use to him. Lu Yang did not pay attention to them.
"It seems I have to wait until tonight, when no one is around, to slip away, without anyone noticing!"
Lu Yang thought to himself.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already twelve o'clock at night. Lu Yang saw that there were fewer security personnel, so he packed up everything and prepared to slip away.
Just as he reached the courtyard, all the lights suddenly lit up, and then everyone, led by Sakurai Long, came out and surrounded Lu Yang.
Beside Sakurai Long stood Natsume Reiko and Inoue Hiroichi.
"Teacher, it's so late, where are you going?"
Sakurai Long looked at Lu Yang and asked with a smile.
"Do I need to report to you where I'm going?"
Lu Yang's expression changed, and he shouted coldly at Sakurai Long.
"Teacher, you used to tell me wherever you went. Why has your temperament changed so much now? Is it because you were assimilated after the soul possession? Or did you not possess the soul at all?"
Sakurai Long looked at Lu Yang and continued to ask.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and roared at Sakurai Long. He had already seen that these people had seen through his identity. After all, he didn't know Watanabe Ichiro's temperament at all. He only learned some things during their fight.
"What do you mean?"
"You should know very well, Chinese kid, Lu Yang!"
Before Sakurai Long could speak, Natsume Reiko, standing beside Sakurai Long, said directly.
"Lu Yang, from Jiangbei, China, chairman of Haitong Group, and a partner of Tianwai Feijian Company. Your purpose this time is to retrieve that information. I just don't know how you managed to walk out of the Nandu Shrine safely!"
"Hand over the body of the Sword Saint, and we might be able to leave you with a complete corpse. Otherwise, we will surely make you die without a burial place!"
Natsume Reiko looked at Lu Yang and said coldly.
"Haha, it seems you know everything. As expected of Kurosu, your speed is amazing. But it's a pity, your Sword Saint has already been killed by me!"
Seeing that these people had investigated his identity, Lu Yang no longer hid anything and said directly to everyone.
"What? You killed Lord Sword Saint? How is that possible?"
"We all know the strength of Lord Sword Saint. He is a cultivation at the half-step divine realm, and within the Nandu Shrine, he is invincible below the divine realm. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot be Lord Sword Saint's opponent. You must be lying. You must have hidden Lord Sword Saint's body, which is why Lord Sword Saint cannot appear!"
Hearing this, Sakurai Long immediately shouted loudly.
"Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you. Then I apologize. I think it's better to solve this with fists at this time!"
As Lu Yang spoke, his cultivation emanated, instantly forcing everyone back several steps.
"This... how is this possible? Half-step divine realm?"
Feeling Lu Yang's aura, Sakurai Long's eyes widened in disbelief. Lu Yang's aura felt almost more terrifying than Watanabe Ichiro's. Unless it was the half-step divine realm, he would not have such a strong aura.
"I'll give you one last chance. Move aside, or I won't show any mercy!"
Lu Yang continued to say to everyone.
"This Chinese kid killed Lord Watanabe. Let's attack together and tear this kid to pieces to avenge Lord Watanabe!"
Natsume Reiko shouted loudly, and everyone's eyes instantly turned red. They raised their katanas and slashed at Lu Yang.
"Suicidal!"
Lu Yang sneered, clenched his fists, and like a hungry tiger pouncing, he rushed into the crowd. These samurai had poor cultivation and could not withstand a single move from Lu Yang. In just a few minutes, Lu Yang had knocked all the samurai to the ground. The only ones standing were Sakurai Long, Natsume Reiko, and Inoue Hiroichi.
"Sakurai Long, I heard you are Watanabe Ichiro's last disciple and have inherited his true teachings. Let me see how good your swordsmanship is?"
Lu Yang looked at Sakurai Long and said coldly.
"You killed my teacher. Even if I have to give my life, I will kill you and avenge my teacher!"
Sakurai Long's face had become extremely cold. He directly swung his sword and a sword energy instantly slashed towards Lu Yang.
This sword energy spanned dozens of meters, immensely domineering. The surrounding air crackled under the impact of the sword energy, and then the sword energy moved forward relentlessly, directly slashing towards Lu Yang's head.
Seeing Sakurai Long unleash his sword strike, Lu Yang stood there without moving, a faint smile on his lips, forming a sneer.
When the sword energy reached the top of Lu Yang's head, it was blocked by an invisible protective aura and could not advance an inch further. Then it dissipated into the air without a trace.
"Your protective aura is actually so strong that it can easily resolve my full-power sword strike?"
Seeing this, Sakurai Long's expression also changed drastically. He did not expect Lu Yang's power to have exceeded his estimation. He could be so powerful. This sword strike of his was enough to split a waterfall in half, yet it couldn't even break through Lu Yang's protective aura. It was imaginable how powerful Lu Yang's cultivation was.
"Teacher, let me help you!"
Natsume Reiko said, and instantly disappeared into the air. When she reappeared, she held a sharp dagger and stabbed directly at Lu Yang's back.
However, her actions had already been exposed in Lu Yang's eyes. Lu Yang casually reached out, caught Natsume Reiko's dagger, and then with a "crack," broke it into two pieces.
"What?"
Seeing this, Natsume Reiko's face changed drastically. She quickly tried to retreat, but how could Lu Yang give her such an opportunity? He directly threw a punch. This punch landed on Natsume Reiko's chest, sending her flying more than ten meters before she fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "puff."
"How can he be so strong?"
Natsume Reiko looked at Lu Yang in disbelief and squeezed out this sentence from her mouth.
