I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 208 The name of the move should be shouted out loud.

Everyone was overjoyed. During their previous exploration, they had deciphered the ruins and found the jade weapon scepter. However, they discovered that once the divine object left the ruins, it would emit a dazzling light.

If the powerful figures of Kunlun Cave Heaven were to see it, they would surely swarm over and fight for it.

That's why Tie Guoping went back and reported to the authorities, and the Tianji Research Institute specially developed a spirit-suppressing device to isolate the primordial energy and precious light from the divine object.

"withdraw!"

Tie Guoping personally grabbed the briefcase and even handcuffed his wrists with a pair of handcuffs made of sharp gold. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he dared not linger in the same spot for even a moment.

However, the group had just left the ruins when they encountered an uninvited guest.

huh~

Whoosh~

Dozens of powerful arrows pierced the air, their force immense.

"Ambushes!"

One of the martial arts masters in the group, who specialized in mountain formations, stepped forward and blocked Tie Guoping's path. In his left hand, he was also holding a metal briefcase.

This man exuded a deep and heavy aura, like a towering mountain. He raised his right arm and threw a punch, shattering all the incoming arrows with the force to shatter mountains.

Upon seeing the faces of the attackers, Tie Guoping's expression turned solemn: "Jonin Hattori Masao, the great swordsman Tsukahara Iwaichi... and you, the great Onmyoji Abe Nobuaki, hailed as the most brilliant and talented summoning jutsu genius among the younger generation in Japan."

Tie Guoping immediately realized that something was wrong.

Very few people actually knew the details of this mission, yet they have now been ambushed. This must mean there was a traitor within the team.

But now is not the time to think about that.

The opponent is formidable. Although we also have three martial arts masters, there are differences between masters!

Tsukahara Iwaichi is the heir of a swordsmanship family in Japan. His signature technique is called Ichi no Tachi, which is extremely powerful. His skill as a great swordsman is equivalent to that of a master martial artist, and he is one of the best among them. His physique and swordsmanship have reached an inhuman level.

As for Hattori Masao, this veteran Jonin is a successor of the Japanese ninja school. He is skilled in incantations and proficient in fire and wind release techniques. He is also a renowned master among the martial arts masters of Earth.

The last one made Tie Guoping feel even more uneasy.

The most outstanding successor of this generation in the lineage of Japanese Onmyoji, at only twenty-four years old, has mastered the super-level spiritual martial art of summoning spirits!

Abe Nobuaki himself can be considered the strongest genius of the Onmyoji lineage in Japan. He not only awakened the bloodline inheritance from his ancestors, but is also the number one among the younger generation in the current Japanese martial arts world.

As long as he doesn't perish along the way, he will surely achieve the title of Martial Saint in the future.

With such a powerful lineup, Tie Guoping's side had absolutely no chance of winning. Even if only Abe Nobuaki made a move, Tie Guoping didn't think he could win at all.

Because the combat power of an Onmyoji far surpasses that of an ordinary martial artist.

Tie Guoping gripped the box tightly, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "This sacred object must not fall into the hands of the Japanese! We must break through together!"

"yes!"

"Heh, defying fate, you've already chosen your own path to death."

Abe Nobuaki gently shook the bat-shaped fan in his hand, then his eyes flashed with a cold light, his gaze narrowing as he uttered only one word: "Kill!"

Da Da Da~

At his command, the ninjas dressed in black all took out assault rifles and began to suppress the enemy with fire. They even threw grenades, and the scene was filled with gunfire and explosions.

However, most professional martial artists have protective inner energy, and martial arts masters even have inner energy armor. Bullets are unlikely to pose a fatal threat to them; at most, they can only serve as a distraction.

Distracting Tie Guoping's vision was precisely the enemy's objective.

Clang~

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, a sharp whistling sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth—the sound of a greatsword being drawn from its sheath.

"The Secret Sword, the First Blade, Arashi no Tachi!"

Tsukahara Iwaichi shouted in a deep voice and swung his sword, unleashing an arc of sword energy.

This sword energy is incredibly sharp and chilling, it is the family secret technique of the Tsukahara clan, a combined move of the wind and mountain styles, an upgraded version of the mid-level martial skill Sword Qi Slash, and a high-level martial skill Storm Moon!

This strike not only combined Tsukahara Iwaichi's skill and power, but also contained a spiritual secret technique, which was activated along with his roar.

The mental impact mixed with the sword energy instantly covered the entire area, completely enveloping Tie Guoping and the others.

In everyone's mind, they seemed to have been transported to a lonely and desolate mountain peak.

Above, a new moon slowly rose, hanging in the sky, exuding a vast and boundless aura that made people feel insignificant, like a drop in the ocean.

Then the light of fireflies appeared, but the despair of how could it compete with the sun and moon made the heart numb, and even made people feel that dying under the cold light of the knife might not be such a bad thing.

It wasn't until a fierce, indomitable will to fight against heaven and earth, and never yield, ignited like a raging fire, that everyone's minds were freed from the illusion created by the sword intent.

"You think you can make me offer my neck for slaughter with mere sword intent? How utterly laughable!"

Tie Guoping's will was as firm as iron. Tsukahara Iwaichi's mental attack only made him dazed for less than half a second before he regained his senses.

With a furious roar, he entered a state of extreme urgency, his entire body radiating intense heat, with scorching breath bursting forth from every pore.

"Break it!"

Boom~

Tie Guoping clenched his right fist and suddenly punched out, causing the air in front of him to explode and the resulting gale to howl in all directions.

At this moment, his body swelled up, his hair grew wildly, and he looked exactly like a giant ape, his upright posture like a jade pillar supporting the sky, standing firm and unyielding.

Click~

bang~

The blade energy was shattered by the surging fist force, and the violent impact brought about a tremendous tremor, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Hehe~"

After a cold laugh, Tsukahara Iwaichi vanished from the spot in a flash.

What he is using at this moment is the secret sword technique, the first katana, the Divine Concealment!

This is a combined attack of the Wind and Yin techniques, a high-level martial art of movement. It can put a person into a mysterious and ethereal state, making them difficult to detect and giving them an effect similar to invisibility. It has great tactical value.

"Ah~"

A woman's scream rang out from the group.

Tie Guoping immediately panicked and shouted, "Cailian!"

Chung Choi-lin is the daughter of his deceased friend, and he has no choice but to save her.

Step on the ground, turn around!

Tie Guoping's muscular body moved like a nimble ape, and in the blink of an eye, he dashed toward Zhong Cailian.

He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike that dispersed the dust obscuring his vision. Then, he saw Tsukahara Iwa swing his sword and easily cleave Zhong Cailian's weapon away.

Then, the blade slashed towards her head.

Just as Zhong Cailian was about to die under Tsukahara Iwa's blade, at the critical moment, Tie Guoping's fist, burning with flames, arrived.

Military Boxing, an advanced martial art, the Bow Stance Punch!

Tie Guoping's right fist spun forward from his waist with great force, palm down, carrying the determination and fighting spirit to fight bravely and conquer the world.

Tie Guoping was a soldier, so his boxing style was full of military toughness, with wide, sweeping movements and an unstoppable momentum.

Furthermore, the martial bone that Tie Guoping forged is called the Fierce Fighting Bone, whose characteristic is that the stronger the anger, the stronger the power burst, which can ignite the anger in one's heart and thus unleash a violent attack.

Seeing his old friend's daughter about to die at the hands of the enemy, Tie Guoping, desperate to save her, was so enraged that his blood was almost boiling: "Take this punch!"

His intense rage caused Tie Guoping's punch to more than triple in power.

Ding~

When fists clashed head-on with blades, it was Tsukahara Iwaichi, the one wielding the knife, who was knocked back.

Seeing his teammate being repelled, Abe Nobuaki smiled, but had no intention of intervening. Instead, he praised him with a smile: "The Vajra Wrathful Ape Battle Body is indestructible, and your fighting spirit is so fierce that you become stronger with each battle. Tie Guoping, your sixteen-foot golden body is indeed extraordinary."

"Hmph~"

Tie Guoping shielded Zhong Cailian behind him, his left hand gripping the suitcase tightly: "Cailian, are you alright?"

"Uncle Guoping, I'm alright."

Just as Tie Guoping was about to fight and retreat, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He looked down and saw that Zhong Cailian had taken out a dagger and forcefully stabbed it into his abdomen.

The Vajra Wrathful Ape Battle Body is a special martial art based on the transformation of the sixteen-foot golden body of the Pure Land School. While enhancing its attack, its indestructible defense remains undiminished.

But at that moment, an ordinary dagger shattered his "invincible body".

"Pfft~"

Tie Guoping coughed up black blood, his internal organs feeling as if they were being burned: "The dagger... is poisoned!"

"Uncle Guoping, this unclean poison comes from the Yamata no Orochi of Izumo Cave. It was specifically designed to break your Vajra Body."

Zhong Cailian drew her dagger and nimbly retreated to Abe Nobuaki's side, embracing him affectionately while looking at Tie Guoping with a smile.

"Why!"

Tie Guoping looked at Zhong Cailian in disbelief. The pain in his heart far exceeded the pain in his abdomen. How could such a well-behaved and obedient little girl have become so vicious?

"Uncle Guoping, you've gotten old."

Zhong Cailian didn't think she had done anything wrong. She nestled beside Abe Nobuaki, her face full of sweetness and happiness: "If you really want what's best for me, then help me this last time. Nobuaki has already promised me that as long as I retrieve the Jade Scepter for him, he will marry me and never leave me for all eternity."

In Zhong Cailian's eyes, Abe Nobuaki was young, handsome, and from an extraordinary family; he was perfect.

I must hold onto such a perfect man!

Everything is for the sake of sweet love.

Everything is for a happy tomorrow.

Abe Nobuaki held Zhong Cailian's slender waist, his gaze falling on Tie Guoping with a hint of appreciation: "Although your talent is mediocre, your fighting spirit is commendable. Why not submit to me? What Dongji Kingdom can give you, I can give you even more. What do you say? Why not consider it?"

"I'll give it to your mom!"

Tie Guoping roared in anger, once again igniting his rage, and unleashed a violent attack.

This punch, with its raging flames, shook the heavens and the earth. The moment it was thrown, it was like the roar of a naval cannon, its momentum awe-inspiring.

Abe Nobuaki smiled coldly, and with a push, he sent Zhong Cailian forward as a human shield to block Tie Guoping's earth-shattering punch.

Zhong Cailian never imagined that the man who had sworn eternal love to her would actually try to harm her!

bang~

Fresh flesh was torn apart by the force of the punch, turning into a rain of blood. Tie Guoping showed no mercy, even to the woman standing in front of him, who was his old friend's daughter.

The Jade Scepter was of paramount importance to the Eastern Kingdom, so from the moment Zhong Cailian chose to betray them, she was no longer one of their own, but an enemy.

When dealing with enemies, one must be as ruthless as a harsh winter!

After killing Zhong Cailian with a single punch, Tie Guoping's punch continued with undiminished force, slamming heavily into Abe Nobuaki.

Click~

Unfortunately, what was smashed by the fist was just a broken piece of wood.

Meanwhile, Abe Nobuaki, who had used the Substitution Jutsu, appeared behind the great swordsman Tsukahara Iwaichi, while simultaneously attacking Tetsuya's spirit and will: "How does it feel to kill the daughter of an old friend with your own hands?"

"You deserve to die!"

hatred!

angry!

mad!

Tie Guoping's anger surged again, but before he could throw his third punch, the poison had already attacked his heart.

puff~

After spitting out another mouthful of black blood, Tie Guoping found that the flow of his internal energy had become sluggish.

Master-level martial artists possess extremely strong physiques, making it extremely rare for any poison in the world to have an effect on them.

But unfortunately, unclean poison is one of them!

This deadly toxin, derived from the body fluids of the Yamata no Orochi, can corrode a martial artist's physique and inner energy, and even confuse their mind.

Understanding this, Abe Nobuaki chose to continue provoking Tie Guoping: "You killed that stupid woman, but at least leave her a whole corpse. Although she wasn't very bright, her body had a certain charm. I originally planned to refine her into a Corpse Princess and keep her by my side to enjoy and collect. That way, it wouldn't be considered breaking my oath, would it?"

The provocative words fueled Tie Guoping's resentment.

His anger surged, and he wished he could tear the beast in front of him apart.

But Tie Guoping did not forget the mission he was entrusted with. As a soldier, he must never act impulsively!

"Let's split up!"

After giving the order in a loud voice, he turned and left.

In addition to Tie Guoping, there were two other martial arts masters in the group, each carrying a box identical to Tie Guoping's, intending to cover for him.

"Old Master Hattori, chasing and killing is a specialty of you ninjas."

Abe Nobuaki glanced in the direction Tie Guoping had fled, then turned his gaze to Hattori Masao.

The latter glared at him: "I'm not old!"

Then he made a hand seal and chanted an incantation: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, Feng Dun, Feng Long Juan".

An invisible wind, summoned by Hattori Masao, howled in, enveloped his body, and chased after the direction in which Tetsugu Ping had fled.

Tsukahara Iwa, wielding a large katana, stepped forward and asked, "Shall we pursue the remaining fugitives?"

"There's no need."

Abe Nobuaki's gaze was cold as he gently shook the bat-shaped fan in his hand: "The item is in Tie Guoping's hands. The other two are carrying fake boxes; they're just creating a diversion."

"Aren't you afraid you'll guess wrong?"

"I've never made a mistake."

His calm and composed gaze revealed Abe Nobuaki's absolute confidence in his own judgment: "Let's go, don't let a sure thing slip away."

Tie Guoping rushed forward, using his Shrinking Earth martial arts technique to move with incredible speed.

Unfortunately, the person chasing him could actually fly.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, Feng Dun, Feng Zhi Ya."

While in mid-air, Hattori Masao formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and mobilized the martial arts energy within his body, transforming it into a gust of wind that condensed into five-pointed swords, which shot towards Tie Guoping.

There are three lineages of martial arts in Japan: swordsmen who forge their physiques, ninjas who practice incantations, and Onmyoji who control spirits.

Body refinement, Qi cultivation, and spirit refinement each have their own specialties.

Hattori Masao is one of the most famous Jonin in Japan, known as a descendant of the God of Shinobi, and is undefeated in his mastery of Wind Release and Fire Release techniques.

Pfft~ Pfft~

The invisible wind blades rained down, leaving bloody gashes on Tie Guoping's back. Though not fatal, they worsened his injuries.

Tie Guoping was filled with rage: "If my invincible body hadn't been broken, how could such an attack have harmed me?"

At this moment, he was determined to die: 'No, the Jade Scepter is a treasure of my Eastern Kingdom; how can it fall into the hands of the Japanese?'

No matter what, I must not give up!

In his panic, Tie Guoping happened to escape to the vicinity of Professor Li Yong's research station, startling a flock of birds.

"Ah~"

Fu Ping cried out in alarm, "Someone is injured!"

Are you alright?

Tie Guoping recognized Fu Ping's Dongguo language. Before losing consciousness, he only managed to shout, "Quick...run away..."

"Oh no, what do we do? He's passed out!"

Fu Ping had no idea what to do; Tie Guoping's injuries were too severe.

Ye Qingzhou stepped forward and glanced at him, his expression calm: "It's just poison attacking his heart. With me here, he won't die."

Ye Qingzhou then took out an antidote pill and fed it to Tie Guoping with water. He had casually made this pill while practicing his alchemy skills.

Ordinary antidotes cannot cure the Yamata no Orochi's unclean poison, but they can temporarily suppress the toxicity to save Tie Guoping's life.

Huang Liwen then stepped forward and fiddled with Tie Guoping's briefcase, because he sensed that the contents of the briefcase were calling to him.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

With a flash of light, the sturdy briefcase, capable of withstanding explosives, shattered instantly, and a jade scepter floated automatically in front of Huang Liwen, who grabbed it in a bewildered manner.

Just then, Hattori Masao arrived in pursuit. His gaze sharpened as he saw the jade scepter in Huang Liwen's hand, and an overwhelming killing intent surged within him: "I've seen something I shouldn't have seen. You cannot be allowed to live!"

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, Huo Dun, Hao Huo Mi Que!"

Hattori Masao took a deep breath, then transformed the martial arts energy within his body into raging flames, which he then unleashed towards Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen.

The massive wave of fire engulfed the entire research station, clearly indicating that the other side had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Clang~

At the critical moment, a sword light shot into the sky, and within the clanging sword energy, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling could be faintly heard, echoing through the stars and clouds.
