Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 37. Death of Soichiro

"Little ghost... don't get too complacent..."

Takagi Soichiro straightened up, his arm holding the knife trembled subconsciously, and he looked at Liu Yuansheng with a sinister look. The retainers beside him wanted to step forward to support him, and the rest almost pointed their submachine guns at Liu Yuansheng at the same time.

Hirano Toda's face turned ferocious, and he immediately aimed his sniper rifle at Takagi Soichiro's chest. Komuro Takashi hesitated for a long time, but put down the gun. Only Miyamoto Rei raised her gun and aimed it at the retainer who was holding a submachine gun and pointing it at Yanagi Gensho.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But even though he was pointed at by three submachine guns, Liu Yuansheng remained calm and looked calmly at the slightly embarrassed Takagi Soichiro.

Because he knew that without this man's order, these people would not pull the trigger.

Seeing this, Takashiro Soichiro's face darkened. He waved his hand and dismissed the retainer who came forward to help him. Without even looking away, he directly rebuked:

"What are you doing?! Put down your guns!"

"Hi!"

The retainers responded in unison, but their eyes were still fixed on Liu Yuansheng fiercely, as if they would shoot him to death immediately at the command.

Liu Yuansheng smiled, glanced at Komuro Takashi "inadvertently", and walked towards Miyamoto Rei on the side.

As if he had noticed Liu Yuansheng's gaze, Komuro Takashi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"Lee, put down the gun."

Liu Yuansheng smiled and took Li's small hand that was tightly holding the gun handle, and pressed down the butt.

Miyamoto Rei's pretty face blushed, she said "hmm" softly, and lowered her head obediently.

Seeing this scene, Takagi Saya, who was standing by, gritted her teeth anxiously, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Liu Yuansheng's side.

Why isn't it infected yet?
But it would not be appropriate for me to remain silent at this moment. I could take this opportunity to remind my father...

"Dad! How can you say that about Liu Yuansheng! He was the one who led us all the way from the academy to here!"

After saying this, Gao Cheng Saya looked at Liu Yuansheng beside her and said anxiously:

"Liu Yuansheng! I will definitely do what you promised! If there is anything...if there is anything, let's talk about it after we enter the manor, okay?"

Oops.

Good bitch!
A sarcastic smile appeared on Liu Yuansheng's lips, and he looked at Takagi Soichiro in front of him with interest.

But Takagi Soichiro didn't even look at Takagi Saya. He stared at Liu Yuansheng's smiling face with sharp and determined eyes, but sighed in his heart.

It’s ridiculous that my daughter doesn’t understand that my thoughts have already been clearly seen by the young man in front of me.

Saya Takagi's words left the two of them with no room for negotiation, even though Liu Yuansheng had no intention of discussing it in the first place.

When Soichiro Takagi noticed that his daughter was also in Yuansheng Liu's team, he vaguely realized that this battle was inevitable in any case.

Either now or in the future.

Because no one knew his daughter's character better than him, but even with such a daughter, the young man in front of him could actually tolerate her and bring her here alive.

What is he doing for? What is his purpose?
My own reward?
Ridiculous! A real man never puts his hopes on others.

Perhaps because of his status, Soichiro Takagi was extremely disgusted with Gensho Yanagi, but this did not prevent him from seeing that Gensho Yanagi was an extremely proud person.

Such a person is by no means weak and incompetent.

Then we can only think from another perspective - what's the use of having your own daughter?

in love?

Takagi Soichiro glanced at Busujima Saeko who was standing behind Yanagi Gensei.

In terms of both figure and personality, the eldest daughter of the Busujima family is several times better than his own daughter.

Then... the only way is to get close to myself and Yuriko...

After all, she is his daughter after all... Even if he can be ruthless, he still has his wife.

And my stupid daughter probably hasn't realized yet that she actually has no way out.

Gao Chengzong took off his white gloves in silence and threw them into the pool of blood on the ground, revealing his big hands with calloused knuckles. He looked at Liu Yuansheng and slowly said:

"Thank you for taking care of my stupid daughter."

Liu Yuansheng glanced at the wound on his ribs, suddenly smiled, shrugged, and shook his head to deny:
"She should be thankful that she has a father like you."

At this moment, everyone present vaguely realized that something was wrong. Saya Takagi panicked. Did she say something wrong?
Why did it suddenly become like this? She wanted to stop it, but she couldn't find a reason, because she didn't even know why the two of them were fighting!
"Although it's a little late to ask this, let me ask one more question."

"Liu Yuansheng, is there no room for reconciliation between us? Your swordsmanship is a very important fighting force for the manor, no, for the entire Qingzhu City."

Takagi Soichiro sheathed the long sword, took it out from his waist, and handed it to the retainer beside him. Then he drew out the long sword, held it in his hand, slowly pulled out the blade, examined it, and looked at Liu Yuansheng.

The heavy tone buzzed in everyone's ears.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuansheng sneered:
"It's too late to weigh the pros and cons now, isn't it, Master Gaocheng? Where's the momentum you used to humiliate me just now? Was it swallowed by a dog?"

Gao Chengzong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he drew out his long sword, holding the hilt with both hands. The bright silver blade shone with a dazzling coldness in the sun. He stepped forward with his right leg, got ready, looked at Liu Yuansheng with a serious look, and shouted coldly:

"No point in talking! Come!"

"That's more like it. You're so hesitant and hypocritical." Liu Yuansheng raised the corners of his lips, with a flash of excitement in his eyes. He slowly raised the long sword, with the blade slashing diagonally towards Takagi Soichiro's neck. His left hand supported the end of the handle from bottom to top, and he took half a step forward, assuming a posture that Takagi Soichiro was very familiar with.

[Is it the Busujima style…]

Gao Chengzong's eyes narrowed:
"Murata, Matsumoto, no matter what, you must not interfere with our battle."

"Saeko, you make the decision."

Busujima Saeko nodded calmly, then sheathed the long sword, put her thumb on the sword guard, and walked to the right side of the two men.

Everyone looked at the two people in the center of the venue with complicated eyes. As Busujima Saeko took her position, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

The momentum continued to rise, and a faint sense of solemnity and oppression lingered around the two people in the center of the venue.

one second.

two seconds.

"start!"

Without any warning, Busujima Saeko shouted coldly.

Bang!
Almost at the same time, two people in the center of the field suddenly kicked the ground and rushed forward, splashing blood that was as gorgeous as summer flowers in the sun...

The black blade that was supposed to cut diagonally suddenly chopped straight, and the pitch-black blade whimpered as if it tore through the air. The people outside the field could not catch the trajectory of the blade at all! They only felt an arc of half a moon passing by in an instant, and then it slashed fiercely in Gaocheng Soichiro's face!
clang!
The long blade suddenly blocked, with the tip of the blade pointing to the ground, blocking the left shoulder diagonally.

Under the edge of the blade, Takagi Soichiro's eyes were fierce and the blue veins on his forehead were wriggling like earthworms.

What a heavy blow!

Wasn't the weight of that previous blow his limit? !
Takagi Soichiro gritted his teeth, knowing that he could not continue to stalemate with Liu Yuansheng. He stepped forward and pushed the ground hard with his right leg, instantly breaking away from the force point of Liu Yuansheng's chop, and the tip of the blade was pulled horizontally!
A fierce knife instantly slashed towards Liu Yuansheng's neck!
Seeing this scene, everyone present subconsciously held their breath.

Unexpectedly, the next second Liu Yuansheng bent down, and the blade narrowly passed over Liu Yuansheng's head, and the sharp blade cut off a tuft of short hair!
Takagi Soichiro's pupils shrank into a point, and the palms holding the knife instantly changed to a reverse grip. He turned around and stabbed, with the tip of the blade pointing directly at the exposed back of Liu Yuansheng's head!
Busujima Saeko's pretty face turned pale, her right hand holding the sword handle turned blue, she clenched her teeth, and stared at every moment of the fight between the two men.

She knew that until the last moment, the outcome of this battle would remain uncertain!
Liu Yuansheng caught a glimpse of a cold light coming from the upper left corner out of the corner of his eye, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

It's too late...Master Zhuang Yilang~

Liu Yuansheng suddenly pushed the ground with his left foot, and his body jumped out of the lake like a fish, suddenly deviating from the path of Gaocheng Soichiro's elbow!

Swish!
The tip of the blade changed its route by a hair's breadth and fiercely pierced through Liu Yuansheng's left shoulder! Blood splattered! The powerful force and the blade instantly deformed Liu Yuansheng's posture, but Gao Cheng Soichiro's eyes showed no joy at all!

Because he also saw a black shadow out of the corner of his eye!
boom!
Gao Chengzong's eyes suddenly widened, and a shocking dull pain suddenly came from his left rib! Along with a clear sound of bone cracking, the exposed whites of his eyes were instantly filled with spider-web-like bloodshot!
"vomit!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out directly from his mouth!
Everyone present stared with their eyes wide open, looking at this scene in disbelief. They saw clearly that Liu Yuansheng put the iron blade back to his waist while squatting on the ground. Although he dodged to the right and avoided the tip of the blade with his head, his left shoulder was still pierced!

But even in this situation, Liu Yuansheng's forearm stretched at his side suddenly pulled back, and the whimpering sound of breaking through the air seemed to tear apart the air, and fiercely slashed towards Takagi Soichiro's left rib!
boom!
The next second, the two separated.

Liu Yuansheng's right shoulder hit the ground with a thud, his body rolled awkwardly on the ground, and then hit the wall of the fountain with a bang.

Takagi Soichiro's eyes were wide open, he held a knife in his left hand, and covered his left rib with his trembling right hand. The severe dull pain caused his brain to become congested. He gasped for breath, ignoring the blood flowing from the corners of his lips, and the blue veins on his forehead were throbbing.

This kid! How dare he gamble!!!
If the tip of my knife was off by just a centimeter, it would have pierced his carotid artery!!!

Unfortunately, there is no if. The fact is that Liu Yuansheng dodged it, while Takagi Soichiro was seriously injured by Liu Yuansheng's knife!

The tearing pain in his left shoulder kept irritating Liu Yuansheng's nerves. He glanced at the trapezius muscle in his left shoulder that was almost severed, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

His left hand fell limply at his side, the tip of the knife supporting the ground, Liu Yuansheng slowly stood up, looking at Gao Chengshuang who was breathing heavily with a burning gaze:
"you lose."

Saya Takagi looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, her legs suddenly went weak, and she fell to her knees.

No one looked at him. The retainers behind Takagi Soichiro wanted to step forward to support him, but Takagi Soichiro waved his hand to stop them.

The intense pain would make even a person like Takagi Soichiro break out in a cold sweat. He stared at Liu Yuansheng in a daze.

He knows.

He was hopeless.

Every breath seemed to carry the smell of blood, and breathing became difficult, as if the chest and lungs were pierced by the ribs.

Every breath he took was the last echo of his life.

My eyelids are heavy and my vision is blurry...

Heh... I didn't expect to die at the hands of an eighteen-year-old boy...

"dad!!!"

Saya Takagi suddenly let out a shrill howl.

Gao Chengzong's spirits were lifted up as if he had regained his consciousness. He suddenly straightened his back, his eyes flashing with an eternal bright light, and shouted:
"Murata! Matsumoto!"

Two strong-looking men walked out of the team and shouted:
"Hi!"

"From now on, the Gaocheng Guards will be under the command of this young man! Do you understand?!"

Almost everyone's pupils constricted.

--------

Don't criticize me first, there is a reason why Soichiro Takagi said that.
