”I don’t need you to tell me, I’ll go kill Qin Tian myself to avenge Shi!”

Matsushma Kaede clenched his fists, making cracking sounds, and said, ”You bury Shi and Youzi’s bodies, leave dealing with War Dragon and Qin Tian to me. I absolutely won’t let him die by anyone else’s hand!”

”Uncle, be careful, that Qin Tian has shocked me several times now. Even Senior Brother fell at his hand, you must...”

”Baka!”

Before Okazaki Yokawa could finish, Matsushma Kaede immediately cut him off with a furious roar, glaring intensely at him, and said:

”Do you think your uncle is old and can’t even kill a single Huaxia dog? Hmph, let me tell you, my father’s generation had three soldiers. Back then, they followed the empire’s army and killed ten thousand Huaxia dogs across five cities in Huaxia!”

”Hmph, I am now merely following in the glorious traditions of my ancestors. Can a mere Huaxia dog compete with me? Even if he is an Immortality Cultivator and has reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage in cultivation, he is still no match for me!”

Matsushma Kaede stared at Okazaki Yokawa, and said: ”Yokawa, don’t forget, your Senior Brother’s martial arts were taught by me personally. Even two of your Senior Brothers are no match for me! Do you think that Huaxia dog matches my strength?”

Faced with Matsushma Kaede’s questioning, Okazaki Yokawa quickly gave a thumbs up in agreement and said, ”Uncle’s martial arts are unrivaled in the world. That Huaxia dog Qin Tian naturally can’t beat you. Nephew was just worrying needlessly, only concerned for you...”

Though Okazaki Yokawa was partly being flattering, in his heart, he truly believed Qin Tian would inevitably lose when facing Matsushma Kaede!

After all, he had personally witnessed yesterday, Qin Tian narrowly best his Senior Brother. Compared to Matsushita Shi, Qin Tian wasn’t much stronger.

But his uncle Matsushma Kaede was different. If even two Matsushita Shis were no match for Matsushma Kaede, then this time, Qin Tian would surely be destroyed alongside War Dragon.

...

”Boss, yesterday our base’s patrolling brothers discovered a suspicious ship, about thirty nautical miles outside Cloud Island, circling the Cloud Island Base for over four hours.”

At the Cloud Island Base, Wang Delong reported to Qin Tian, ”Because you were dealing with those people from Dahe all afternoon yesterday, we didn’t take action against that ship.”

”Oh? When did that ship leave?” Qin Tian asked.

Wang Delong thought for a moment and said, ”It should have been when Dahe’s people left. That man and woman got on Dahe’s ship and left, and then the ship also left.”

”Oh, then it seems likely Dahe sent people to rendezvous with them. No need to bother with it.”

After hearing Wang Delong’s report, Qin Tian didn’t think much about it; of course, he wasn’t aware of the plot Zhao Baijing and Meng Kuang were hatching against War Dragon and Qin Tian aboard that ship.

And indeed, that was the case.

At this time, Zhao Baijing, Meng Kuang, and Hu Zhengwei were discussing possible upcoming events in their villa.

”Master, it’s been confirmed that Dahe’s backer is a martial arts sect from Japan, apparently called the Chiba Sect. Their leader is called Matsushma Kaede, reportedly very powerful and mysterious.”

”Matsushma Kaede, why does that name sound familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?”

After listening to Hu Zhengwei’s report, Zhao Baijing stroked his chin and earnestly tried to recall.

Hu Zhengwei and Meng Kuang exchanged a glance awkwardly, with Meng Kuang hinting at Hu Zhengwei.

Hu Zhengwei awkwardly reminded Zhao Baijing: ”Ahem, Master, this Matsushma Kaede is not... um... the Matsushima Kaede you saw in those movies, this is a man, an old guy.”

Zhao Baijing suddenly realized, ”Oh, I wondered why the name sounded good to me... got it wrong.”

Meng Kuang, Hu Zhengwei: ”...”

”The man and woman we killed yesterday, are they also from the Chiba Sect?”

After a collective silence among the three men, Meng Kuang asked.

Hu Zhengwei nodded: ”Yes, the man’s name was Matsushita Shi, and the woman’s name was Yuko Kosai. That Matsushita Shi, according to my intelligence, was the Chiba Sect’s Senior Disciple, supposedly very skilled in martial arts.”

”Heh, skilled in martial arts? Then how did he get severely injured by Qin Tian yesterday? I think, apart from their women being somewhat skilled, the men in Japan are all nonsense!” Meng Kuang scoffed.

Yesterday, when they boarded the vessel Matsushita Shi had left on, they saw he was severely injured.

However, Zhao Baijing reflected cautiously: ”I reckon that Matsushita Shi isn’t just a hollow reputation. At the very least, he’s not in the same league as you.”

Zhao Baijing stared at Meng Kuang, who felt awkward and was about to argue, but Zhao Baijing continued: ”I sensed True Qi from Matsushita Shi. This person should be an Immortality Cultivator.”

”Ah!?”

Hearing this, Meng Kuang, who was about to retort, couldn’t help but exclaim, his expression shocked and dumbstruck: ”Master, aren’t you mistaken? Another Immortality Cultivator? How can there be so many, it’s impossible...”

Because Meng Kuang’s talents doomed him from becoming an Immortality Cultivator, he was very sensitive about hearing ”Immortality Cultivator” in front of him, hurting his self-esteem.

So he instinctively believed there could only be a handful of Immortality Cultivators in this world.

But now, there’s actually an Immortality Cultivator backing Dahe? He found this hard to accept!

”What you know of this world is just the tip of the iceberg in the vast universe. There are many more Immortality Cultivators than you can imagine.”

Zhao Baijing, disregarding Meng Kuang’s feelings, said: ”I indeed sensed True Qi fluctuations from him, and I saw the wounds on his arm; they’re internal injuries, likely caused by True Qi compression.”

Meng Kuang had nothing to counter with, so he could only curiously ask: ”Master, are you saying this person is an Immortality Cultivator, and yet he lost to Qin Tian and was severely injured by him?”

Meng Kuang’s tone contained deep shock. He hoped for a different answer from Zhao Baijing, but Zhao Baijing nodded:

”Therefore, there’s one thing I can be certain about: War Dragon’s Qin Tian is already an Immortality Cultivator!”

Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei exchanged glances, only able to smile bitterly.

They both recalled the day of the Asian Mercenary Association meeting, when Qin Tian showcased his prowess and easily seriously injured Park Chang-ho and Li Chengdong.

They were extremely shocked at the time, but now, if Qin Tian truly is an Immortality Cultivator, then it’s not surprising at all.

Yet upon further thought, damn, Qin Tian turned out to be an Immortality Cultivator. How on earth can they deal with Qin Tian in the future!
