Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu's power left the government completely speechless.

Just when the old man from before had grown old and was hiding in the Sword Masters Association to cultivate instead of causing trouble, a younger and stronger Miyazaki Yu has appeared. This is simply a nightmare for a society governed by the rule of law!

After absorbing a lot of nutrients, Miyazaki Yu began to rest and recover.

He didn't start cultivating again until the morning of the next day.

During this time, he specifically called Xiaolan and Yuanzi to tell them that he was going through a very critical period and that they could not come to see him for the next month.

This made Ran and Sonoko somewhat worried, but out of trust, they could only agree.

Time keeps cycling, moving forward bit by bit.

"Ms. Miyazawa, has the teacher not come out yet?" Nishikawa Tetsuaki asked from the hall.

Since formally becoming a disciple, he has come to learn kendo every week. With his master's guidance, he has indeed become extraordinary, and his skills have once again entered a fast track.

Each time, Miyazaki Yu was able to find the shortcomings in his kendo and give him targeted guidance, allowing his progress to increase at a visible rate.

However, even after reaching his level of cultivation, the most important thing is still self-cultivation. As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you." A good teacher can teach you the correct methods, but without thousands of practices, you cannot accumulate enough combat power.

"As expected, the teacher is in seclusion."

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but many images kept flashing through his mind, causing him to struggle internally.

"Mr. Zheming, there's no need to rush. His Excellency Miyazaki told me before that the most important thing for you now is to hone your skills, to carefully experience every move and every stance, and to make your body completely familiar with your sword, familiar with every detail, just like you are familiar with your own arm. Only in this way can you be considered to have completed this stage of training."

Nishikawa Tetsuaki's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically.

He had been cultivating for some time according to the method taught by Miyazaki Yu, but apart from the beginning, his progress became very slow. After experiencing the rapid pace, he found it difficult to accept the slow pace of cultivation.

So he couldn't help but ask the teacher for guidance. Unexpectedly, when he first came, Miyazaki Yu was in seclusion, and after more than three weeks, he still hadn't come out of seclusion.

He came three times for nothing, but failed to see the teacher, and began to get impatient.

Hearing Miyazawa Mie's words, the anxiety in my heart gradually subsided.

Chapter 388 Conspiracy and Ambush (3rd update!)

After staying at Miyazaki Hayao's house for a while, Nishikawa Tetsuaki took his leave and departed.

"Hu-hu-"

After leaving Miyazaki Yu's house and walking down another street, Nishikawa Tetsuaki finally let out a long breath. His heart, which had been relatively calm, began to pound wildly involuntarily.

The suppressed fear made his whole body tremble.

"Hmph, Mr. Xichuan, are you scared? Your heart rate just now was two hundred beats per minute!"

A mocking voice came from inside the hidden earpiece in my ear.

"Enough! Shut up!"

Nishikawa Tetsumei gritted his teeth and said, his face turning ashen, his tightly clenched lips revealing his unease.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you that scared? Or do you simply not care about your family's lives?"

At this moment, Nishikawa Tetsumei's pupils revealed a deathly gray, as if shrouded in the shadow of a desert.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

He suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and was about to smash it, but then he heard a voice again.

"Hmph! Stop! Do you know the value of what you hold? This is a masterpiece representing the latest technology! You can destroy it, but I'll cut off one of your woman's hands!"

The voice on the other end paused, as if savoring the pleasure of controlling the life and death of others.

The alarm sounded again only after Nishikawa Tetsuaki had reached the height of his anger.

"Enough! Stop it! I promise you!"

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "Oh dear, some people are just so stubborn. Only extreme measures can make them truly understand their situation. People like that are really unbearable."

At this moment, however, no one could see that Nishikawa Tetsumei's eyes were bloodshot, almost blindingly so. His distorted face no longer resembled that of a human, but rather was filled with madness.

“Just do what you’re supposed to do, and we won’t treat you unfairly. Miyazaki Yu was only your mentor for a few days. You don’t only have him as your mentor. After he dies, you can go back to Chairman Nakamura.”

He chuckled and said, "Remember the people you truly care about. Their safety is entirely in your hands. If you dare disobey me, the woman you like will end up in the most disreputable brothels. She'll be very popular there."

"Stop talking!"

Nishikawa Tetsuaki roared, his teeth grinding together.

"I promise you, I will make my move once I find an opportunity."

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "That's more like it. No matter how good Miyazaki Yu is, he can't turn you into a second one. Just like Ezawa Ranpo back then, Kawakami Gensai carefully cultivated him, wanting to make him a second sword saint."

However, after failing to break through for a long time, he actually turned to his master's mortal enemy, the leader of the Black Organization, which was a great irony.

After hanging up the phone, the mysterious figure turned his gaze to the large screen in front of him, which displayed dozens of scan results, all of which were Miyazaki Yu's physical data.

This includes a very clear display of heartbeat, breathing rhythm, and pulse.

Nishikawa Tetsumei's physical data was also displayed on the side, but an icon in the lower left corner had dimmed, indicating that Nishikawa Tetsumei had turned off the instrument.

"It's unbelievable that they could figure out these data just by getting a few dozen meters away from that man. It's really amazing."

The mysterious man looked at the numbers before him with a smile.

"Of course. The instrument that Nishikawa Tetsumei is holding is just a locator and amplifier. The real power comes from the satellites in the sky. Using satellites to observe personal targets, hehe, that's outrageous enough."

Although the world has entered the modern era for many years, satellites are still the exclusive domain of a very few major powers. Smaller countries simply do not have the capability to manufacture and launch them, and even if they do, it is for larger strategic objectives.

It plays a role in monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis, monitoring Earth's hydrological data, studying climate change, and precise positioning, among other things.

But it would never be used for any one person!

But things are different now; a satellite like this was used just because of one person!

"I don't understand these data, but what I want is just one result: to what extent was this Miyazaki swordsman injured!"

"Don't worry, he's already in a very weak state. His breathing and heartbeat are no longer stable, and according to three precise tests, there's no sign of improvement. It seems our information was correct; this Miyazaki swordsman is indeed undergoing that kind of training."

The two had clearly learned the secret of Sword Courage cultivation. This information, which was originally extremely confidential, was now known clearly to people outside the Sword Masters Association.

"We cannot act rashly. We cannot predict the terrible consequences that a mad, peerless expert might cause. Moreover, most importantly, such a person does not need evidence after being harmed; he can rely solely on his own judgment!"

"Don't worry, we were fully prepared for this. Let Nishikawa Tetsumei conduct two more reconnaissance missions. If the other party is still in a weakened state, our plan can begin!"

Along the mountain path, where few people are around, the tall buildings gradually disappear from sight.

Nishikawa Tetsumei's gaze was like a deep and terrifying dry well, empty yet cold and sharp.

"Why? Why?"

He muttered to himself like a madman, his hands touching the sword case on his back, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Why does Mr. Nishikawa look like this? It seems that betraying one's teacher is not an easy thing."

"Ok?"

Nishikawa Tetsumei's eyes suddenly sharpened, regaining their fierce expression. He then rolled on the spot and lightly tapped the sword box, causing the sword box to change.

Two long swords then flipped out of the sword box, which was obviously equipped with a mechanism. It didn't need to be opened; a simple tap would trigger the mechanism, causing the two swords to flip over and land directly in his hands.

He rolled over, activated the mechanism, and gripped the sword with fluid movements. In the blink of an eye, the two famous swords, Tianqingxue and Yueyinshuang, had protected his body from the front and back respectively.

"Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of Miyazaki Kengo's disciple, you are truly remarkable."

Following the sound, three figures could be seen standing not far away: two men and a woman. The one in the lead was a tall woman dressed in leather, like an arrogant female villain from a movie.

She wore a large pair of sunglasses that covered most of her face, making it impossible to see her features. Her bright red lips exuded a wild and fiery aura, and it was clearly she who had just spoken.

The strangest thing is that her hands are covered with a layer of blue-red scales. This scales seem to be a complete set, starting from her palms and extending into her upper garment. Her shoes are also similar to gloves.

One glance is enough to guess that this woman is wearing a full suit of armor, but the armor is extremely form-fitting, like soft armor, softly conforming to the surface of her body.

The other man and woman, who seemed to be her subordinates, stood calmly beside her. Both of them gave Nishikawa Tetsumei a feeling of dread, as if they were extremely dangerous.

The sudden appearance of these three people beside him made him feel a vague unease.

Chapter 389 A Master Made in a Flash

"Who are you people? Why are you here? Were you waiting for me?"

Nishikawa Tetsumei's mind raced. He had come here without any prior planning, so the other party couldn't have been waiting for him beforehand. Therefore, the only possibility was that the other party had been following him.

This conclusion also made him secretly tremble with fear!

Although he was somewhat unsettled by that incident, not just anyone could easily follow him without him noticing.

Just now, if the other party hadn't spoken and allowed me to hear their voice, I might still not have realized the existence of these three people. That's terrifying.

"Hehe, who we are isn't important. What really matters is who you are?"

"Who am I? You know the answer already, what do you want?"

The woman at the head of the group had a chilling aura in her eyes behind her sunglasses.

"You're wrong. Figuring out who you are isn't easy, because a person's identity and position are constantly changing. Just like you, before, you were Miyazaki Kengo's disciple, and because of that identity, you received a lot of admiration."

Your father was a frustrated and unsuccessful researcher, but because of your relationship with Kengo Miyazaki, he was given important responsibilities and his research project was approved.

However, some people, after enjoying the kindness of others, want to betray them, which is truly despicable.

"You actually..."

Nishikawa Tetsuaki's face was extremely grim.

Doing this, given his personality, was against his true nature, causing him immense inner turmoil.

The way of the sword is to forge ahead without hesitation, and to be unyielding rather than bend.

Moreover, Miyazaki Yu gave him meticulous guidance, which greatly improved his strength. He was even confident that if he accumulated enough experience for another two years, he would be able to become a swordsman!

Even with such a powerful teacher, swordsmanship is not the end of his life; he can continue to advance and reach even higher levels.

Miyazaki Yu has done what a teacher should do by imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts, but now he, as a disciple, wants to betray his teacher!

"What do you know? If it were just me, I would rather be killed than betray them. But I have no choice. My family and my woman are all being secretly controlled. If I dare to resist, their fate will be extremely tragic!"

The mysterious woman smiled faintly: "Betrayal is betrayal. No matter how fancy the words used, they cannot change the nature of betrayal. If such reasons can justify betrayal, then betrayal in this world would become a noble act."

Her gaze turned cold as she looked at him and said, "Alright, take him down!"
