"Could it be that all the warriors of your Sakura Country have perished!"
Chen Fan's words were deliberately rhetorical!
They were a counterattack!
Chen Fan knew very well why hundreds of people had become only a dozen or so!
To Mitsui Kenji and Manjō Shinkan, they could at most suspect that their subordinates were being killed one after another, and that Chen Fan might be involved.
Because they had no evidence!
But in this matter, Chen Fan didn't need evidence, because he was the one who did it!
And at this very moment, Chen Fan said these words simply to retort and make these people uncomfortable!
And Chen Fan's words indeed had an effect.
Upon hearing his words just now, Kujō Shinkan, who had always had a fiery temper, showed a flicker of fear. He clenched his fists and, furious, questioned Chen Fan.
"Do you know what you're saying? You, who are about to die, how dare you speak such arrogant words in front of us!"
It wasn't just Kujō Shinkan who spoke. Mitsui Kenji was also starting to lose his composure.
After all, for him at this moment, this battle was one he would not lose.
Since he had already placed himself in an invincible position, Mitsui Kenji naturally wouldn't take Chen Fan seriously anymore, nor would he put him in his eyes!
So, as soon as Kujō Shinkan's words fell, Mitsui Kenji, with a cold sneer, continued, "Young man, do you really think we don't know why our people have met with bizarre deaths?"
"Mitsui-kun, don't say too much." Upon hearing Mitsui Kenji's words, Manjō Shinkan realized he couldn't let him continue.
He knew very well why Chen Fan was bringing this up.
It was because Chen Fan wanted to use this as an excuse to make a fuss about their large number of subordinates being killed!
On the eve of a duel, the people meant for dirty tricks were almost wiped out. If such a thing were brought to light, it would be a complete loss of face.
Precisely because he understood the implications of this matter, Manjō Shinkan quickly turned back and gestured to Mitsui Kenji.
Then, Manjō Shinkan's gaze turned to Chen Fan, who was standing on the platform.
Afterward, he sneered, with an unyielding expression, and replied to Chen Fan.
"These people are enough to deal with you."
Upon hearing Manjō Shinkan's words, Chen Fan sneered from above, his tone very calm as he said, "I don't think they are enough."
Chen Fan's words meant that he looked down upon these motley crews.
Originally, Chen Fan's words had already made the atmosphere tense.
Now, with his contemptuous words and expression, Kujō Shinkan and Mitsui Kenji were even more enraged!
This time, Chen Fan's disregard had truly hit a nerve. Manjō Shinkan was also starting to lose his composure.
However, Manjō Shinkan was relatively good at enduring.
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Manjō Shinkan immediately suppressed his emotions.
Then, before the hot-tempered Kujō and Mitsui could speak, he quickly shouted!
"A dying man, your opinions and thoughts are not important!"
As soon as Manjō Shinkan said this, Kujō and Mitsui, who were standing behind him, felt as if a great grievance had been vented from their hearts. They cheered for Manjō Shinkan.
However, Chen Fan appeared completely indifferent to Manjō Shinkan's words.
But in his heart, he was not as calm as he appeared.
At this moment, Chen Fan had already jumped off the platform and glanced at the high walls surrounding Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Then, Chen Fan began to feel something was wrong!
First of all, the opponent did not have an advantage in numbers.
Moreover, he had not sensed the aura of any other martial arts experts around Kiyomizu-dera Temple!
It seemed that the opponent had only brought these dozen or so people!
However, with the enhancement of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, the opponent must understand the implications.
These dozen or so people were no match for him.
If that was the case, why did Manjō Shinkan, known for his caution, blurt out such confident words just now?
Why did Mitsui Kenji, who was always cunning and calculating, smile so arrogantly before?
Judging by their expressions and behavior, they were clearly at a disadvantage. Why did they exhibit such abnormal speech and actions?
Therefore, Chen Fan began to realize that something was amiss.
However, at that moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Regardless, Chen Fan had already gotten what he wanted.
This battle was not very important to him.
Since he couldn't figure out the situation now, it was better to investigate the situation tonight and then fight them tomorrow after knowing himself and the enemy.
Soon, Chen Fan made up his mind.
With that, Chen Fan strode towards the main gate of Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
As he walked, he said, "Alright, judging by your arrogant tone, I suppose besides this manpower, you have other preparations, right?"
"I'm not asking what your preparations are. I'm just telling you that your preparations are not sufficient and pose no challenge to me!"
"I'm too lazy to bother with these childish tactics you're using. It makes me feel very bored, so let's meet here again at the same time tomorrow!"
Chen Fan spoke very quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the main gate of Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Then, under the bewildered gazes of Mitsui and Manjō, Chen Fan got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away!
Manjō and Mitsui were naturally very confused. At this moment, they could only watch Chen Fan leave, unable to do anything!
Because, these dozen or so people combined, their chances of winning were really not high!
Moreover, Chen Fan had clearly become suspicious at this time. If a fight really broke out, Chen Fan would inevitably get entangled with the leaders like Mitsui and Manjō.
If he fought with Chen Fan, then the ambush with heavy weapons would be completely useless!
After all, they wanted to blast Chen Fan to pieces, not to perish with him!
As Chen Fan left, Manjō Shinkan, who was stunned, turned back to look at Mitsui Kenji and asked with confusion, "Mitsui-kun, do you think... has he already discovered our plan?"
"Impossible, your arrangements and deployments were clearly very secretive!"
