As a martial artist, despite his reluctance to admit it, Scarface felt he couldn't even see his opponent's back.
"This is the first time I've encountered such an aura."
"Just how skilled is this person in martial arts...?!"
……
Inside the factory.
Yato and Narukami Torahatsu walked side by side.
They did not communicate at all.
This is no longer a suitable place to discuss certain topics.
The two moved like ghosts, their footsteps almost imperceptible. They eliminated unnecessary movements by using their body weight through skillful and exquisite footwork. The quieter the sound, the less effort they expended.
After passing several shipping containers, we arrived at an open space in the center.
On the second floor directly in front of that open space.
A young man dressed in a Tang suit sat leisurely on the railing.
"You are finally here."
Xia Ji said with a smile.
"When I received the news, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that the 'Kicking Demon' who was sought after by various groups would choose to join [Insects]. But what surprised me even more was that you, Miss Narukami, had such a good card up your sleeve. It was definitely the right decision to go to you."
"Whether in the past or now, you have always been there to help me when I need it."
The seemingly grateful words were filled with a strong sense of mockery.
"You still have so much nonsense to say, Officer Xia. I'm just following the organization's orders. I don't care whether it's helpful to you or not."
Narukami Toharu said it casually.
"Just let it be."
Xia Ji let out a delighted laugh.
Perhaps he thought he had successfully fooled this brat he hated by issuing a false order on his own initiative, and that's why he was so smug.
He's such a good person.
Yato thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
"Yato Igarashi, although this is a temporary assignment, shouldn't you consider coming to my side? Following Narukami's tail will never get you anywhere."
In front of Narukami Torakazu, Natsuki blatantly extended an olive branch.
"Xia Ji...!"
Naruto Huchun's expression turned cold.
It seems she's angry.
Yato's lips twitched; he wanted to laugh but dared not.
Women are indeed all actresses.
Regardless of age, whether young or old, this has always been the case.
However, even Xia Ji was not quite capable of fooling him so easily.
Such a thought flashed through my mind.
Yato said calmly:
“I’m not anyone’s subordinate. I joined [Insect] for my own reasons. If you can meet my conditions and cooperate with me to a certain extent, it’s not something I can’t consider.”
"What conditions?"
Xia Ji's eyes lit up.
"I need something that can make me stronger."
Yato's words were brief yet full of powerful force.
The sound was like thunder echoing through the factory.
It was a shock to the heart.
Even though he was at a height overlooking the landscape, in that instant, Xia Ji felt as if what stood before him was not a person, but a towering, unmoving mountain.
The sound was like lightning flashing across the sky.
It dispelled the darkness and illuminated the mountain.
"...!"
Gudong.
Xia Ji swallowed hard, his gaze towards Ye Dou filled with both fervor and a hint of apprehension.
Just as I was about to speak, a voice suddenly interrupted.
"Okay, come to me, and I'll fulfill all your needs!"
(My condition has been particularly bad these past two days, so I'll only be posting three chapters now. I'm going to start writing the fourth now, and I definitely won't put it off until tomorrow! I'd appreciate some encouragement with some flowers!)
Chapter 139
"...?!"
"..."
"...?"
The three of them turned their gazes toward the source of the sound without prior arrangement.
The factory's second-floor corridor leads to what appears to be an open-air platform outside—the entrance.
A man stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the doorway.
He looked to be in his forties, with a full beard.
His eyes gleamed with a sadistic, wild light.
He was wearing an old-fashioned training uniform.
They give the impression of an older generation of martial artists who live in the past and are unwilling to wake up.
However, the oppressive aura emanating from him far surpassed that of Xia Ji.
Compared to him, Xia Ji, who was clearly not weak, was as harmless and cute as a kitten.
Since this man appeared.
Yato could sense a significant change in the atmosphere, as if gasoline had been poured on it. It wasn't cold, nor was it scorching hot, but just a spark could burn everything to ashes. That man possessed that kind of ability.
Danger, extremely dangerous.
Every cell in the body is sending out alarms.
The last time I encountered this situation, my opponent was Go Hori.
But how can the person I was back then be compared to the person I am now?
Without a doubt, this person is much stronger than Wu Hori, and much stronger than himself.
If a real fight breaks out, you absolutely cannot win unless you're prepared to fight to the death.
"you you!"
Xia Ji was so shocked by the other person that his tongue was tied in knots.
"Hey, Xia Ji, are you surprised to see me?"
The man grinned.
"...Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers! What are you doing here!"
Xia Ji practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.
Yato keenly sensed it.
Xia Ji's body was trembling.
Despite feeling immense resentment and even hatred towards this person, I still couldn't help but tremble.
"Ten Demon Snakes...Two Tigers?"
Yato narrowed his eyes, staring at the man who had suddenly barged in and interrupted their conversation.
Tokita Nitora was the common name of many disciples adopted by a master in the past. He attempted to use this method to spread the influence of Tokita Nitora among the people, thereby conquering the entire [Central Kingdom].
But in the end, it still failed.
It is said that a rebellion occurred in a certain generation, which led to the extinction of all the "Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers" of that generation.
This school of thought then completely disappeared from history.
...But this is just an outsider's perspective.
In fact, two disciples survived. One of them was Tokita Ohma's adoptive father and mentor, and the other was... the wild and unruly man in front of us, who was as fearsome as a lion or tiger.
They all referred to themselves as "ten ghosts, snakes, and two tigers".
"Me? Because someone notified me that a promising talent had joined the organization, so I came to check it out."
As Tokita Niko spoke, his gaze fell upon Yato.
The smile on his face grew wider and wider.
"Now it seems... it was worth the trip. He's definitely a promising talent. To have this level of skill before the age of twenty. Xia Ji, you're not even qualified to carry someone's shoes, yet you have the nerve to boss people around?"
"What did you say?!"
Xia Ji's face contorted as he tumbled off the railing.
His body was hunched over, and his arms hung down.
He looks like a gorilla.
But this stance caught Yato's eye.
"Imitative Boxing? No, it's an assassination technique developed based on the fundamentals of Imitative Boxing..."
As a half-true successor of the Shangdi School, he himself also knows similar techniques.
This comparison makes it easy to see Xia Ji's martial arts background.
"What, you want to fight me?"
Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tigers raised their eyebrows, their tone full of anticipation.
"..."
Xia Ji's expression was uncertain, and in the end he could only manage to utter one sentence.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Pooh.
Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tigers spat on the ground, their disdain evident in their words.
Ignoring Xia Ji completely, he extended a recruitment offer to Ye Dou:
"Kid, you see, this thing of yours can't give you anything, but I'm different. You want to become stronger, and I... unfortunately, all I know is how to make people stronger!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yato frowned slightly and glanced at the girl beside him.
But they found Narukami Torahiro watching the spectacle with a keen interest, arms crossed and chin in hand.
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
'Ten demons and two tigers... Could it be that this guy summoned them?'
But there's no way to ask now.
Yato quickly organized his thoughts and responded calmly and confidently:
