Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 105 Lü Ci's "Sinful Deeds"
Actually, the current situation isn't that bad, at least that's what Zhao Zhen thinks.

After the Battle of Cangshan, Zhao Zhen had been thinking about how to clean up the mess.

His initial plan was for the four families and three temples to join forces and eliminate the remaining strength of the Hieiyama ninja.

Using the demon sword Hirumaru and himself as bait, he lured the ninja of Mount Hiei to the pass.

Without the protection of the Japanese military, they would have far fewer reservations about taking action against the Hieiyama ninja on their own territory.

As for Zhao Yufei's move, it was something Zhao Zhen had already planned long ago.

He could tell that Zhao Yufei wanted to invest in him, which is why he intentionally stayed by Zhao Yufei's side to recuperate and cultivate after returning from beyond the Great Wall.

If, during their daily interactions, Zhao Yufei were to occasionally mention the similar methods used by the Hieiyama Ninja Clan and the Tang Clan, he would naturally think of "using magic to defeat magic" given his intelligence.

He doesn't belong to any faction or group within the industry, and strictly speaking, he's not even considered an insider.

Having him go and ask the Tang Clan for help is definitely the best option right now.

Now everything is ready, and all that remains is for the ninja from Mount Bihe to enter the pass.

However, before that, Zhao Zhen had to take care of something.

--------------

Half a month later, in Lüjia Village.

Upon seeing Zhao Zhen gradually approaching along the path outside the village, Lü Ren, who had been waiting outside the village, immediately smiled.

"Brother Zhao!"

Lu Ren stepped forward and bowed warmly.

"Brother Lü, it's been a long time. Your injuries should be healed by now, right?"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen also looked at the empty sleeve of Lü Ren's right arm.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a broken arm, it's no big deal."

Lu Ren smiled frankly, seemingly not taking the loss of his arm to heart.

On the contrary, Lu Ci, who was standing to the side, showed an undisguised hatred on his face after hearing his elder brother talk about the severed arm again.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll kill all these little devils sooner or later! I'll even rip off their arms one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ren couldn't help but chuckle.

He reached out and patted Lü Ci's head, saying with a doting expression, "Yes, yes, my little brother is definitely better than his useless older brother."

But buddy, all that's said, when you actually encounter those guys, don't be too careless, or you really could lose your life.

Seeing Lü Ren's serious expression, Lü Ci immediately said nothing more.

When Lü Ren first returned to Lü Family Village and saw his elder brother's miserable state, Lü Ci was so enraged that he lost his mind and almost ran to the border to fight the ninjas of Bihe Mountain.

Fortunately, it was Lü Ren who spoke up in the end, which brought him back.

"Brother, don't worry, no matter what means I have to, I will do everything I can to help you recover your severed arm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but glance at Lü Ci.

Restore a severed arm? Perhaps only Duanmu Ying's Dual-Hand Technique, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, could achieve that?

This Lü Ci is truly wicked; he just won't let go of Duanmu Ying, a married woman...

“Brother Lü, you are too modest. Although you lost an arm in the battle of Cangshan, didn’t Nikaido Eita suffer the same fate?”

Moreover, you even snatched the demon sword Hirumaru from him; such a glorious achievement could only be accomplished by Brother Lü.”

"Brother Zhao, please stop flattering me. If it weren't for your help back then, I probably would have died on the spot at the hands of those Japanese devils."

Lü Ren will never forget this life-saving grace!

If Zhao Zhen hadn't mentioned the demon sword Hirumaru, everything would have been fine, but the mere mention of that sword caused a flicker of annoyance to cross Lü Ci's eyes. "What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhen keenly noticed the change in Lü Ci's eyes.

"Don't even mention it, that broken knife is really weird." Lu Ci said with a frustrated expression.

"You guys aren't going to try to pick it up, are you?" Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Zhao was right after all..."

A bitter smile flashed across Lü Ren's eyes.

"After I brought the demon sword Hiruma back to the village, my father thought that if the Japanese could wield it, there was no reason why we couldn't, so he..."

Even if Zhao Zhen didn't continue listening, he could roughly guess what would happen next.

"When you took the demon sword Hiruma, I warned you that you should never try to wield it without being absolutely certain of your ability."

Even the ninja of Mount Hiei spared no expense in nurturing the wielder of this sword from childhood.

Unless one's cultivation in the art of sexuality is exceptionally profound, one will inevitably be controlled by this demonic sword in the end.

"Ugh……"

Lu Ren sighed deeply, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

If they hadn't been seduced by the power of the demon sword Hirumaru, and had listened to Zhao Zhen's advice earlier, their two brothers probably wouldn't have died so tragically on the spot...

"My father and older brother just thought that with more strength, they would have a better chance of dealing with those Japanese devils."

You've probably heard about the Gao family's situation. Once the Japanese have wiped out the area outside the Great Wall, they'll probably be looking for revenge against us.

Lu Ci spoke up to defend his father and elder brother.

"Well, actually I can understand your actions. I came here today specifically for this matter."

Brother Lü, I must remind you that the demon sword Hirumaru is of great significance to the Hieiyama ninja clan, so the first thing they will do after entering the pass will definitely be to find the demon sword Hirumaru.

You must be mentally prepared for this.

"Let them come! I'm really worried that my dad won't let me go to the border to find them!"

I refuse to believe that they can run wild on our territory!

"Brother..."

Lu Ren glanced at Lu Ci with a hint of helplessness.

Having personally experienced the Battle of Cangshan, he naturally couldn't be as optimistic as Lü Ci.

After all, during the Battle of Cangshan, even the current Celestial Master couldn't stop these Hieishan ninjas. If it were just the Lü family, would they really be a match for these Hieishan ninjas?

The lessons learned from the Gao family's past are still fresh in everyone's mind. Even if they can't act as recklessly inside the pass as they can outside, dealing with a group of assassins similar to the Tang Clan is still a very troublesome problem.

If you're a thief one day, how can you guard against thieves a thousand days in advance?

Gao Yuan, the head of the Gao family, also died in the same way, assassinated by the ninja of Mount Hiei.

"Brother Lü, I have come here today for this very reason."

"Hmm? What do you mean by this, Brother Zhao?"

"Back then, after my old man died, it was your Lü family who stood up and spoke a fair word, which prevented others from desecrating my old man's body."

Regardless of what your Lü family thought back then, I, Zhao Zhen, am grateful for your kindness!

If you truly cannot wield the demon sword Hirumaru, then you might as well hand it over to me.
