"Hahaha, lose, how could I possibly lose? If not for my severe injuries, how could you have defeated me? How could you possibly be my match? Killing you would have been a piece of cake."

Ashida Ikeda looked at Lu Tianxing with a twisted expression, blood continuously trickling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating severe internal injuries.

Currently, Ashida Ikeda was at the end of his strength, unable to compare with Lu Tianxing at his peak.

"You’re right, in the past, killing me would have been easy for you, but now, in my eyes, you’re just an ant. Killing you is just as effortless."

Lu Tianxing spoke calmly, "I’ll give you a chance for a quick death. Tell me, where is the Heavenly God hidden?"

"Where is the Heavenly God?"

Ashida Ikeda murmured softly, then suddenly looked up and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, you’ll never know where he is. I’m not going to tell you. You’ll definitely die, the Heavenly God won’t let you go. Just wait, one day you’ll fall into his hands. Hahaha, Third Young Master of Lu Family, not only will you die, but everyone around you will die too. I’ll be waiting for you in hell."

"Is that so? I’ll be waiting."

Lu Tianxing’s expression remained unchanged, unwilling to waste more words. He casually threw Ashida Ikeda aside, and as he did so, a surge of True Qi suddenly entered Ashida Ikeda’s body. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I’m not reconciled...!"

Ashida Ikeda seemed to sense something and let out a hysterical roar, but before he could finish, the True Qi that surged into his body directly shattered all his internal organs into pieces.

Ashida Ikeda’s body trembled, and he opened his mouth wide, spewing fragments of his internal organs...

This master swordsman of Japan, a peak late-stage Mythical powerhouse, was finally dead.

He died at the hands of Lu Tianxing.

"Thud!"

Ashida Ikeda’s corpse fell heavily onto the snow, making a dull sound.

At the same time, Dechuan Qianxiang, hiding nearby, couldn’t suppress a flash of terror on his face upon witnessing this scene. In his heart, a chill arose uncontrollably. After all, that was a late-stage Mythical veteran. Even if heavily injured, not just anyone could kill him.

Yet now, he had been killed by Lu Tianxing, just like that. This feeling was far more intense than just hearing about Lu Tianxing slaying Kawakami Renichi.

To reverse-slay a late-stage Mythical with a middle-stage Mythical level, if this spreads, it would likely shake the entire world.

If Lu Tianxing ever reaches the late stage of Mythical, who in this world could stop him?

An invincible powerhouse in his twenties, just the thought is terrifying, as if it’s something out of a fantasy tale.

After killing Ashida Ikeda, Lu Tianxing took a step forward, and his body suddenly became unsteady, as if he would collapse at any moment. At the same time, his face rapidly turned pale, as if suffering from serious injuries.

Although he successfully killed Ashida Ikeda, Lu Tianxing was also not well. That Godslayer One Strike was indeed terrifying to the extreme, even capable of slaying thoughts. Although the blade energy didn’t land on his body, quite a bit penetrated his meridians. Dissolving this sharp blade energy wasn’t an easy task either.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s unsteady appearance, Dechuan Qianxiang, who was hiding nearby, suddenly flashed beside Lu Tianxing, hurriedly reached out to support him, and asked concernedly, "Lord Tianxing, how are you? Are you okay?"

Lu Tianxing shook his head, "I’m fine, just a bit exhausted for the moment. I probably can’t fight within a short time."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang took a deep breath and said, "Then what do we do next? Do we stay here or go down the mountain?"

"Go down the mountain first. My fight with Ashida Ikeda likely alerted many people. There’s no benefit in staying here for us. Take me down the mountain first."

"Okay, let’s go down the mountain now."

Dechuan Qianxiang nodded, slightly bent, carried Lu Tianxing on his back, and, with some effort, headed down the mountain.

As Lu Tianxing and Dechuan Qianxiang left, the wind and snow at the mountain top seemed to intensify.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Suddenly, several figures, as fast as lightning, flew up from the mountain base, landing directly at the spot where Lu Tianxing and Ashida Ikeda clashed. Seeing Ashida Ikeda lying on the ground, covered in snow, everyone’s expressions couldn’t help but change. Glancing at each other, they all saw fear in one another’s eyes.

Ashida Ikeda, Japan’s master swordsman, a late-stage Mythical unbeatable powerhouse, was now killed at the summit of Mount Fuji. The person who killed Ashida Ikeda must be unimaginably powerful.

"This place is not safe for long, let’s go!"

A low shout suddenly rang out.

Hearing this voice, everyone paused for a moment, showing no hesitation, and all turned to head down the mountain.

They were all experts from Tokyo and naturally recognized Ashida Ikeda. They also knew that the Shankou family had been wiped out by a mysterious force since last night, wiped clean. And now Ashida Ikeda’s body was found at the summit of Mount Fuji. It’s evident that this mysterious force intends to uproot them.

Even Ashida Ikeda died at their hands. If they were deemed related to Ashida Ikeda and got attacked, none of them could withstand it.

As these people left, the top of Mount Fuji returned to silence again, except for Ashida Ikeda’s body gradually being covered by snow. The summit of Mount Fuji seemed to have regained peace, with no waves rising.

...

Meanwhile, back on Qin Island, as the events in Japan were relayed, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and others felt their hearts leap into their throats, unable to rest properly for a whole day, fearing to hear any bad news.

After all, Lu Tianxing’s trip to Japan this time was extremely risky, and a slight mistake could lead to total disaster. Yet they had no way to help and dared not even call Lu Tianxing, fearing to cause him unnecessary trouble.

Worry, at this moment, was all Bai Zhiqing and the others felt in their hearts, worry over and over again.

They even went to find Jiang Liufeng to see if he could get any information from Japan, but Jiang Liufeng confidently assured them that Lu Tianxing would be fine, that a bunch of chickens and dogs were no match for him, and they should just wait for his return.
