"Baga yaro!"
Tanaka, the samurai behind Araki Miko, could no longer tolerate Chen Xiao's arrogance and drew his sword.
The icy samurai longsword dragged its tip on the ground, its blade energy surging like flowing water!
"Alas."
Araki Miko sighed with a helpless expression, her eyelids lowered. "Chen-san, we Japanese people respect strength the most. If you are willing to serve the Emperor, you can have anything you desire... even I am not a problem. Do you mean to say I am not beautiful?"
"Miss Araki, please stop talking! How can a Chinese person be worthy of noble you!"
Hearing these words, Tanaka the samurai's eyes immediately showed a hint of jealousy.
It was clear that he harbored some dirty, inappropriate thoughts about this Miss Araki!
Chen Xiao looked at Araki Miko and said calmly, "I have always disdained to lie. You are indeed beautiful. If you are willing to strip naked now and surrender at my feet, I might consider taking you as my lowly dog."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze.
Lin Zhennan sneered inwardly, "Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, daring to speak such contemptuous words to Miss Araki. You're finished now, aren't you?"
Tanaka was even more enraged. How could his beloved goddess be so defiled and offended by others?
On the contrary, Araki Miko acted uncharacteristically.
She was both shy and annoyed, her pretty face flushed as if she had truly imagined the dirty scene Chen Xiao had just described.
However, for some reason.
Hearing such words, apart from shyness and annoyance, she actually felt a trace of excitement.
Even her body had a slight reaction.
It wasn't until Tanaka's voice interrupted her reverie that she was pulled back to reality.
"Miss Araki, Tanaka Toru requests to fight. I will use my Moon Wheel Blade to chop off this scoundrel's head!"
This time, Araki Miko did not stop him.
"Baga! Kid named Chen, today I will vindicate Japanese swordsmanship, and I will avenge Senior Kuraki Kazuo and Lord Abe不良!"
Tanaka Toru's face was filled with rage as he swung his long sword with lightning speed!
A streak of ethereal blue blade light traversed over a dozen meters, slashing down at Chen Xiao's head.
The blade light compressed the air and then tore it apart, emitting a hissing sound!
Tanaka Toru's face showed a cruel smile.
"I knew it. Where are the strong people in China? Senior Kuraki was killed by you, it must be because you used some despicable and underhanded means!"
In his eyes, Chen Xiao was already a dead man.
The blade light was merciless; it would cleave this arrogant brat who spoke such foul language in two in an instant!
However, just as the blade light was about to strike Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao suddenly flicked his finger, lightly tapping the blade light.
With a thunderous roar, it was as if lightning struck the entire Great Hero Hall!
A finger flick, a thunderclap!
Rumble—
A turbulent current spread out from the center of the explosion. Tanaka Toru, who was closest to Chen Xiao, bore the brunt of it.
He quickly swung his Moon Wheel Blade in an attempt to block the power of the turbulent current.
Clang—
Tanaka Toru's proud Moon Wheel Blade was instantly split in two and fell to the ground. Tanaka Toru himself was also flipped to the ground, spitting blood.
The power of the turbulent current was largely blocked by him, but its residual force still made Araki Miko and Lin Zhennan unable to open their eyes.
The turbulent current lasted only for a moment, but for the two of them, it felt like an entire century!
Araki Miko was stunned. She knew Chen Xiao was strong, but she still didn't expect him to be this strong.
When Kuraki Kazuo was still alive, Tanaka Toru was already a sword master of equal renown.
Tanaka Toru's strength even surpassed Kuraki Kazuo, but out of respect for his elder, Tanaka Toru had never challenged Kuraki Kazuo.
In short, Tanaka Toru was the sole genius in the field of Japanese swordsmanship, and his strength was second only to his master, Kogenji, who was known as the God of Swordsmanship!
Moreover, with his potential, surpassing Kogenji was only a matter of time.
Yet, such a genius was defeated by Chen Xiao with just a single finger...
Fear flickered in Lin Zhennan's eyes, and he suddenly began to regret it.
He had originally thought that with the strength of the Araki family, killing a Chen Xiao would be as simple as killing a chicken!
Who would have thought it would turn out like this!
But now, it was too late for him to regret it. He could only hope that Tanaka Toru had some other move!
"I don't believe it, I don't accept it!"
Tanaka Toru propped himself up with his broken sword and managed to stand.
"Kill!"
With astonishing willpower, he let out a roar and, dragging his broken sword, charged towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao sneered. Arrogant and foolish trash. He had played enough. He slapped out his palm.
Bang—
Tanaka Toru's body turned into a mist of blood.
This time, Lin Zhennan's eyes went completely blank.
This was it? The guy who boasted to be unparalleled and invincible was actually killed with a single palm strike by Chen Xiao when it came to a real fight?
If Lin Zhennan had only a tiny bit of regret earlier, he was now filled with overwhelming remorse.
Chen Xiao looked at Araki Miko with a playful smile and taunted, "Miss Araki, have you made up your mind? Do you want to be my bitch?"
Such insulting words, spoken by Chen Xiao in a joking tone, finally caused Araki Miko's anger to overcome her body's reaction.
"Chen-san, do you know why my name is Araki Miko?"
"Nonsense. Why would I know your name? I'm not your father!"
Chen Xiao sneered, his face full of disdain.
But Araki Miko, as if she hadn't heard Chen Xiao, continued speaking to herself.
"In Japan, Miko also means a shrine maiden, a servant of Amaterasu Omikami, a person closest to the gods."
"Therefore, you should not offend me, because doing so means you are blaspheming the gods!"
"Those who blaspheme against the gods will be cast into Avici Hell, never to be reincarnated, never to attain salvation!"
As she spoke, Araki Miko's white robe also transformed into the traditional attire of a shrine maiden, a white robe and a red hakama!
Lin Zhennan, standing beside her, was utterly astonished and exclaimed, "A miracle! This is a miracle! Miss Araki, you truly live up to being the clan head of the Araki family!"
Araki Miko naturally ignored Lin Zhennan, this clown. She lightly parted her red lips and said indifferently, "Chen-san, let you taste what it's like to be trapped in the Infinite Illusion Mirror!"
As her voice fell, a cracking sound suddenly echoed around them, as if something was freezing.
And with this sound, Chen Xiao suddenly noticed that the floor beneath his feet had turned into a crystal-clear mirror surface.
Crack, crack—
The sound of crystallization continued, and countless mirror surfaces formed in the air around Chen Xiao.
The mirror surfaces connected irregularly, fitting seamlessly.
Finally, they formed a mirror prison, trapping Chen Xiao within...
