After hearing Atsuta Musashi’s words, the hundred or so onlookers around them couldn't help but gasp in unison!
This young master from the Atsuta family spoke with such arrogance!
Didn't he know that the man holding the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi had just killed a black monster?
Didn't he know that Miyamoto Kan-nushi might also have been killed by this man?
This person's strength was extraordinary, unfathomable!
Why did Atsuta Musashi dare to be so arrogant in front of him!
“Oh? Your tone is quite arrogant.”
Chen Fan also found the young man’s tone rather arrogant. He stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and into the open space, facing Atsuta Musashi.
Looking at Chen Fan, who was less than two meters away, Atsuta Musashi twirled his samurai sword, pointing its tip at Chen Fan's forehead, and said coldly.
“My arrogance has a foundation.”
Atsuta Musashi’s previous words had already astonished everyone!
And now, his provocative action directly caused the surrounding martial artists to let out exclamations of “Sī gāo yī”!
“Where do you get your confidence? Just because your surname is Atsuta? Little Musashi.” Chen Fan discerned the other party's identity from his words and said with a playful smile.
After all, Chen Fan never fought unprepared. He had made thorough preparations before coming here, so it was not surprising that he knew Atsuta Musashi's origin.
“You… you know me? How do you know my name?” Atsuta Musashi stammered upon hearing Chen Fan’s words.
In his opinion, Chen Fan shouldn’t have known his name!
After all, he had been the current Bushin of Atsuta Shrine for a very short time, and it hadn't been officially announced to the outside world yet.
Many people among the mid-level martial artists in the Sakura Country didn't even know the name Atsuta Musashi.
How did this person in front of him know?
At this moment, Atsuta Musashi was filled with confusion.
However, Chen Fan did not answer him.
Instead, he put away his playful smile, pointed a finger at the tip of the sword that Atsuta Musashi was holding towards him, and said coldly,
“Not only do I know your name, but I also know you are about to die.”
For Chen Fan, Atsuta Musashi’s action was enough to warrant death dozens of times over.
However, the inexperienced Atsuta Musashi clearly had not yet realized Chen Fan's terrifying presence.
Instead, Chen Fan's words ignited his youthful arrogance and defiance!
“What did you say? You underestimate me too much!”
Atsuta Musashi clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes blazing with anger, and roared at Chen Fan!
Chen Fan, meanwhile, was too lazy to even look at him.
It had been many years since he had encountered such an irritable and foolish opponent.
“You are not even worthy of my glance.” Turning his gaze aside, Chen Fan said with a look of impatience.
“Baka! You thief who stole my family’s treasure! You are infuriating me!”
“Baka yaro! I will kill you!”
Chen Fan's words had completely enraged Atsuta Musashi.
Thus, Atsuta Musashi, as if driven mad, began to hack wildly at Chen Fan with his samurai sword!
For Chen Fan, such childish attacks were not even worth a second glance.
With Atsuta Musashi’s skill level, Chen Fan could perfectly dodge the attacks by merely shifting his feet a few times with his eyes closed!
“Kill you! Hahaha! You're scared now, aren't you! Kill you…”
The now furious Atsuta Musashi swung his samurai sword more and more wildly as Chen Fan dodged.
He didn't think Chen Fan was simply unwilling to retaliate; he only believed that Chen Fan was rendered powerless by his relentless assault!
At this point, Chen Fan had nowhere left to retreat.
He had already backed to the edge of the pavilion.
With a sigh, he reached for the sword he carried on his back.
That was the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi!
The moment Chen Fan drew his sword, everyone present, except Atsuta Musashi, who possessed some skill, felt a surge of immense killing intent emanating from Chen Fan!
“Kill you! Kill you!” Atsuta Musashi, oblivious to the danger, shouted, raising his samurai sword high to strike Chen Fan’s head!
However, the several attendants who had accompanied him had already sensed it!
“Bushin-sama, be careful!” one of the attendants shouted!
Then, those attendants moved first, shielding Atsuta Musashi.
Clang!
At this moment, Chen Fan had drawn the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi from his back and unleashed a single strike!
This sword strike instantly killed more than ten attendants who had rushed forward to protect their master!
Everyone present knew that the Bushin attendants of Atsuta Shrine were no ordinary individuals!
The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was truly formidable!
With just a single sword aura, it took the lives of so many Bushin attendants!
Watching the figures fall one by one before him, Atsuta Musashi stood frozen on the spot.
Then, with bloodshot eyes, he brandished his samurai sword and let out a heart-wrenching roar at Chen Fan, who was not far away!
“Bastard! I will kill you!”
Chen Fan merely watched the approaching Atsuta Musashi with cold eyes and said in a calm tone.
“You won’t have the chance.”
With that, Chen Fan decisively struck, thrusting his sword forward!
This strike was different from the previous one!
At this moment, Chen Fan wanted to test his new power—
That is, the chaotic energy formed by the fusion of Shikigami and the demon core.
The power of Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, combined with the power of Shikigami and the demon core!
This sword strike possessed infinite might!
Before Atsuta Musashi could even take a few steps, he was struck by this sword aura, vaporizing on the spot and turning into a wisp of pungent smoke!
Instantly, the hundred or so martial artists from the Sakura Country fell silent.
Soon, various discussions erupted in unison!
“How… how could this happen… What kind of power is this!”
“So… so terrifying!”
“Is this the power of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi…”
“…”
Chen Fan ignored the voices around him. He sheathed the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in his hand, surveyed the surroundings, and asked calmly,
“Who’s next?”
As soon as Chen Fan spoke, not a single one of the hundred people present dared to answer him!
To snatch the sword?
Who would dare!
Did they not want to live anymore!
