Chapter 1464 - 1462: He Has Arrived
8:55.
The crowd outside was already cheering and clamoring, convinced that Yang Chen wouldn’t come, that he didn’t dare to.
Even Miura Shinichiro couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and sneered, "It seems he found out about our Ichimiryu’s information and doesn’t dare to come!"
He couldn’t believe that someone whose biggest trick was copying others’ moves would dare come to Ichimiryu to show off. Since Yang Chen could mimic other people’s moves, he should understand how difficult it is to synchronize with someone else’s style, let alone defeat them with their own moves.
Miura Shinichiro glanced at Imano Genso, asserting confidently, "It seems you misjudged him! The reason he was punctual before was that he was confident! Now, he definitely doesn’t dare to come!"
Imano Genso slightly shook his head, showing a trace of confusion, appearing somewhat unsure.
Seeing this, Miura Shinichiro smiled slightly and strode towards the outside.
When people outside saw Miura Shinichiro emerge, they erupted in applause like thunder.
"Miura Shinichiro!"
"Miura Shinichiro!"
"Ichimiryu!"
"Ichimiryu!"
"Mighty! Mighty!"
"Victory! Victory!"
...
Looking at them, Miura Shinichiro felt a surge of grandeur, akin to a king overseeing thousands of lives, with his confidence swelling to the extreme.
He raised both his hands, and the others followed suit, waving their hands like fans idolizing a star.
"Silence!" Miura Shinichiro shouted loudly.
The crowd fell silent, their eyes eagerly fixed on Miura Shinichiro.
Miura Shinichiro enjoyed this feeling of controlling everything. He had long felt this was an opportunity, and now he seized it. He would truly become a winner.
"People of Flame Country, not knowing the height of the sky or the depth of the earth, dare to provoke us Bei Hai Country! Previously, he had the audacity to declare he would challenge our Ichimiryu! However, the time has now passed, and yet he still hasn’t appeared! I don’t know what this means—is he afraid? Or is it just an empty bluff, and he doesn’t dare to come? Regardless of what he’s considering, what I want to say is, I! Miura Shinichiro! We Ichimiryu! will always be waiting! As soon as he dares to challenge, we will immediately fight back!" Miura Shinichiro declared aloud.
"Good!"
"Ichimiryu will win!"
"Victory!"
"That’s the spirit!"
...
The crowd cheered.
Miura Shinichiro pressed his hands down, smiling as he said, "It’s quite strange to say, though, our Bei Hai Country and Flame Country have deep connections. We know that our martial arts are a blend, and we once integrated Flame Country’s martial arts. I have to admit, in ancient times, Flame Country’s martial arts were indeed formidable, and even in our current martial arts, there are traces of Flame Country’s influence. But where are they now? Flame Country martial arts are not even worth mentioning anymore! Yet they still bask in their past glories, content and arrogant! They stubbornly claim that our Bei Hai Country’s heritage originates from Flame Country, it’s laughable!"
The crowd below sneered.
"They say our martial arts originate from them. But I must ask, why don’t they have our katana? Why don’t they have our fencing techniques? They don’t! Is it something they don’t have, yet want to claim as their own? Ridiculous!"
"So, as I stand here, I tell everyone! As long as they dare to come, I will certainly teach them what true martial arts are!"
"Teach them a lesson!" shouted the people below.
"Let them know our prowess!"
"Kill him to serve as a warning!"
"Kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!"
...
Miura Shinichiro was very satisfied with the enthusiastic emotions of the people below.
He continued, "That’s why they don’t dare to come! If they do come, I will ensure they never return!"
"What did you say?" a sudden voice rang out from below.
The crowd was stunned and looked towards the source of the voice.
A figure stepped forward.
Shhh!
The people around felt a cold murderous aura and quickly moved aside.
In an instant, a vacuum space formed around this person.
Seeing this person, Miura Shinichiro recalled Imano Genso’s description, and his face changed suddenly!
He quickly glanced at the time, exactly nine o’clock!
As expected! He arrived right on time!
A trace of panic flashed through Miura Shinichiro’s heart, then he immediately regained his composure.
"You are Yang Chen!" Miura Shinichiro stared at him and said.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around.
"Beat him!"
"Kill him!"
"Get him!"
"Don’t let him leave here!"
"Charge!"
...
Although they were shouting fiercely, no one dared to move.
The murderous aura emanating from Yang Chen made everyone hesitate to step forward.
Yang Chen, as if he didn’t see the people around him, looked calmly at Miura Shinichiro and said with a smile, "Are you the Ichimiryu Sect Leader, Miura Shinichiro?"
"That’s right! It’s me!" Miura Shinichiro took a deep breath and said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded and smiled, "Perfect, where’s the duel area?"
Miura Shinichiro narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen’s demeanor made it difficult for him to figure out what Yang Chen was thinking.
Shouldn’t he have chosen to back down after learning about Ichimiryu’s information? Why did he still dare to come?
But soon, Miura Shinichiro realized!
He was bluffing!
That must be it!
"Damn it! Almost got fooled by him!" Miura Shinichiro cursed inwardly, then said to Yang Chen, "Please come in! There’s a venue in the courtyard!"
"That’s great!" Yang Chen grinned, hands behind his back, and walked straight in.
Miura Shinichiro watched Yang Chen’s manner, eyes narrowing with a cold glint.
The others clamored for Miura Shinichiro to kill him.
Miura Shinichiro ignored them and followed Yang Chen inside.
Once in the courtyard, Yang Chen saw Imano Genso standing in a corner.
He smiled, "Looks like your information was relayed quite well!"
Imano Genso instantly became furious, jumping out and pointing at Yang Chen, shouting, "Ichimiryu is a top-school! Sect Leader Miura Shinichiro is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you’re doomed!"
Yang Chen smiled slightly, not arguing back.
He looked at Miura Shinichiro and said, "Are you ready? Do we need to go through any formalities?"
"No need!" Miura Shinichiro tossed aside his coat, took a sword from one of his disciples, and started circling Yang Chen.
"Whenever you’re ready, the challenge can begin! Remember, life or death are as fated! If you die here, nobody will take care of your body!" Miura Shinichiro said coldly.
Yang Chen shrugged, "As long as you’re not afraid of a stink, it doesn’t bother me!"
With a laugh, Yang Chen drew out a dagger.
A combat knife!
Miura Shinichiro’s eyes narrowed, secretly glancing at Imano Genso.
To be honest, he had some doubts about Imano Genso.
But it seemed now that Imano Genso’s information was accurate without the slightest deviation, everything Yang Chen showed matched what Imano Genso had said!
