In the assembly hall of the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters, the bosses of Japan's top 10 gangs were gathered. They had temporarily set aside their disputes to focus their efforts on dealing with the Human Stick Immortal.
To their horror, the very person they were scheming against had suddenly appeared in their assembly hall.
Worse still, their henchmen were all outside, fifty meters away from the hall.
This hall was constructed from thick bluestone, with multi-layered composite materials for the walls, providing excellent soundproofing. The hall had only one exit: a thick, solid door, which was now behind Ling Tian!
This meant that if these people wanted to escape, they would have to eliminate Ling Tian. Otherwise, they were merely fish in a barrel!
Shigemori Yamaguchi, as expected of the Yamaguchi-gumi leader, remained composed at this moment, at least on the surface.
He stood up and looked at the green fish-man mask. The two eyeballs on the mask looked so comical, yet to these people, the bizarre mask was terrifying.
"Why have you intruded into the core of my Yamaguchi-gumi!"
"Heh heh, you are holding a meeting here, discussing how to deal with me. Do I not have the right to come knocking?
Heh heh, now that I'm here, you don't need to go to all that trouble!
A decoy, hah, there's no need for that!"
Ling Tian's voice emitted a grating sound from his throat, like chalk scraping on a blackboard, sending shivers down their spines.
"Your Excellency, you are being unreasonable. It is not that we wish to deal with you, but you have been killing members of our various Japanese syndicates.
We have no past grievances or recent enmity with you, yet you have resorted to such methods against us. Are we not allowed to resist?" Shigemori Yamaguchi said with a grim expression.
"Resist, okay, no problem. You can resist. The more fiercely you resist, the more excited I become... heh heh."
Shigemori Yamaguchi and the others were speechless. They said the Japanese were perverted, but this guy seemed no less perverted than them.
"As for why I'm bothering you, you should ask the Ise Grand Shrine, ask them what they did a few days ago!
Violating ancestral teachings warrants punishment! You could say you are being punished on behalf of the Ise Grand Shrine, heh heh!"
Shigemori Yamaguchi and the others exchanged glances, and they seemed to understand something.
China was a forbidden land. Japanese underground forces were not to tread there, lest they lose their lives and bring disaster upon Japan!
This ancestral teaching was not only held by the Japanese martial arts world but also by the Japanese cultivation world and even their underground forces!
However, in the last hundred years or so, China had been plunged into war, and China's martial arts world had gradually declined, almost losing its lineage.
And the Japanese, having kept a low profile for thousands of years, had gradually forgotten their ancestral teachings. Although they all knew it was an ancestral teaching, and their elders had repeatedly warned them, without personal suffering, they naturally wouldn't remember the lesson!
Now, Ling Tian, in the most brutal and direct way, reminded these Japanese underworld figures of the ancestral teachings they had long cast aside!
"This is unfair! Why should we bear the sins committed by the Ise Grand Shrine?" one gang boss shouted.
Ling Tian chuckled upon hearing this. These people who lived in the underworld, from the moment they entered this circle, were governed by the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. They were talking about fairness; it was laughable.
It was like Pan Jinlian claiming to be a chaste maiden, or Ximen Qing claiming to be the unyielding Liu Xiahui.
"In your world, don't you all believe that whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules? Fairness? What kind of nonsense is that!"
As they were speaking, a sudden change occurred. A table whizzed towards Ling Tian's face.
Immediately after, a figure shot out like a cannonball, lunging directly at Ling Tian!
The one who attacked was the leader of the Storm Jujutsu style, Daikado Kenbei!
Among the bosses present, Daikado Kenbei possessed the highest combat power. Earlier, Shigemori Yamaguchi had bravely engaged Ling Tian in conversation to buy time for Daikado Kenbei and to lull Ling Tian into a false sense of security!
This guy was experienced in combat, and his plan was quite clever. He intended to use the table to block Ling Tian's vision and then charge at Ling Tian with explosive force.
With Daikado Kenbei's strength, this blow was enough to take Ling Tian down!
In a flash, Ling Tian took half a step back. Immediately, the Muramasa demon blades inserted into his sides attacked almost simultaneously.
The two fast blades crossed and thrust forward, forming an X shape in mid-air!
Cross Slash!
These two swift blades, like a hot knife through butter, sliced the table into several pieces. At the same time, the momentum of the blades did not diminish. Almost everyone saw the two X-shaped blade lights, after passing through the table, directly embed themselves into Daikado Kenbei!
"Ah!" A piercing scream accompanied by a splash of blood. Two thick arms fell to the ground with a thud, while Daikado Kenbei's body, still propelled by inertia, continued to rush towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian sprang up from his spot and kicked Daikado Kenbei's jaw. The kick landed squarely, nearly shattering his jaw. Daikado Kenbei's heavy body was sent flying back several meters, crashing heavily in front of Shigemori Yamaguchi, with blood splattering everywhere, drenching Shigemori and the other group leaders.
The heavy impact caused Daikado Kenbei to lose his breath and fall unconscious!
The other group leaders were all stunned. Many of them had previously scoffed at the idea of the Human Stick削er, Gui Xianren, as they were all high-ranking bosses and couldn't comprehend the fear faced by their subordinates on the front lines.
But now, before their very eyes, Ling Tian was dismembering people without hesitation. This sight utterly terrified them!
"Heh heh, I once had some fantasy that if you obediently listened and didn't cause trouble, perhaps I could let you off once!
But just now, I think you have made your choice! So don't blame me for being impolite!"
"No, please don't. That guy acted on his own, it has nothing to do with us..." one gang boss said, his voice almost cracking with tears.
"It's too late, heh heh..." Before Ling Tian could finish speaking, several spherical objects shot out from his body!
"Boom boom boom..." A large amount of colorful smoke, accompanied by a pungent odor, instantly filled the entire room!
