In that very instant, everyone in the room held their breath, not daring to move an inch!
This was the calm before the storm!
*Clang!*
Soon, the sound of a sword being drawn shattered the brief silence!
*Clang!*
The iron door to the room was kicked open!
Immediately after, Chen Fan stood at the entrance and pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand!
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
...
After a series of gunshots, besides Yu Yi Mingguang, who was bound by chains, only one other person remained standing in the room.
This person not only stood steady.
But also, with the strength of his index and middle fingers of his right hand, he caught the bullet shot at him!
Chen Fan, holding the gun, raised an eyebrow and asked with a tone full of confusion, "Few people in this world can catch a bullet with just two bare fingers. You are one of them."
"So, I'm very curious now. If your strength is clearly so great, why did you run?"
Chen Fan was very curious about the person in the ancient, classic kimono before him.
"Young man, I think you should first understand one thing: the moment you boarded the ship, I had already sensed you. The reason I let you cause trouble was not because I feared you."
The man in the kimono sneered upon hearing Chen Fan's words and spoke pointedly.
"What? Are you saying you're not afraid of me? If you're not afraid, then why did you run in the first place?" Chen Fan, observing the man's demeanor, tried to gauge if he was bluffing, and calmly retorted.
In response to Chen Fan's question, the man in the kimono released his two fingers, letting the bullet fall to the deck with a *clatter*.
Then, he said coldly, "Actually, as someone from your Xia country, this question is not worthy of me answering personally."
He uttered extremely arrogant words and then reached out towards Yu Yi Mingguang, pulling the gag from his mouth.
"Yu Yi Mingguang, you tell him, who am I!"
Yu Yi Mingguang first coughed violently.
Then, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood onto the deck.
"Ptooey! Who are you? You're a despicable scoundrel!"
The man in the kimono never expected Yu Yi Mingguang to say something like that!
Enraged, he cursed loudly.
"Baka! You're really asking for death!"
As he cursed, the man in the kimono formed a hand seal and was about to strike Yu Yi Mingguang's head!
"Are you really not going to make a move?!"
Seeing that his life was in imminent danger, Yu Yi Mingguang became anxious and roared at Chen Fan with all his might!
"Of course, I'll save you!" Chen Fan decisively acted!
"You don't have the ability!" Seeing Chen Fan raise his pistol, the man in the kimono smirked disdainfully.
As he spoke, his hand had already struck Yu Yi Mingguang's head!
"Ah!"
Yu Yi Mingguang, terrified, squeezed his eyes shut and shouted in fear.
But!
The hand that landed on his forehead was strangely soft, unable to cause him any harm!
"This... How can this be..." Yu Yi Mingguang doubtfully opened his eyes.
However, before he could even voice his confusion, he burst into ecstatic laughter.
"Haha! I really thought Priest Miyamoto was some formidable being. I never imagined he would be so easily defeated!"
The man in the kimono, now called Priest Miyamoto, had lost an arm.
His other hand was covering the profusely bleeding wound on his shoulder.
"Why... why could you break through my barrier! I clearly just..." Priest Miyamoto, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was now utterly bewildered.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan slowly sheathed the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in his hand.
Then, he sneered, "You're just a mere priest. Did you really think you could resist the power of Kusanagi?"
As Chen Fan's words fell, an expression of utter astonishment appeared on Priest Miyamoto's pale face!
"This is actually the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi! Could you be! Could you be that person from the Great Xia Kingdom..."
Chen Fan didn't give Priest Miyamoto a chance to finish. He had already swung Kusanagi.
In an instant, a flash of light, and a head rolled to the ground.
The gushing hot blood from Priest Miyamoto's neck sprayed all over Yu Yi Mingguang's face.
Now bound, he couldn't dodge and could only endure it silently.
Soon, the corpse fell.
When the hot blood no longer sprayed on him, he gasped for air and said to Chen Fan, "Friend, I don't care who you are. As long as you take me out of Sakura Country, I promise you, I will definitely retrieve the parasitic Shikigami that has been planted in your body!"
Upon hearing Yu Yi Mingguang's words, Chen Fan merely chuckled disdainfully.
"Haha, don't be ridiculous. Do I need it?"
After a hearty laugh, Chen Fan asked Yu Yi Mingguang with a cold tone.
His question utterly stunned Yu Yi Mingguang.
"Huh? Wait a minute! I think you don't quite understand your situation right now. You, you've had the parasitic Shikigami planted in you by me!" Yu Yi Mingguang, after a moment of stunned silence, quickly said to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan nodded and asked, "And then?" Da Feng Novel Network
"And then? If you don't save me from Sakura Country, I will inevitably be killed by the countless enemies here! At that time, it won't be me who dies, but you!" Yu Yi Mingguang's emotions were somewhat agitated, and his words were quite forceful.
After all, he didn't believe there was anyone in this world who wasn't afraid of death.
However, upon hearing Yu Yi Mingguang's words, Chen Fan picked up the pistol from the ground.
Then, one by one, he slowly reloaded the gun.
Without even lifting his head, he said carelessly to Yu Yi Mingguang, "Go on, I want to understand more."
Since Chen Fan had asked, Yu Yi Mingguang naturally had to explain.
So, he repeated to Chen Fan everything that Mitsui Kenji had said before.
While Yu Yi Mingguang was speaking, Chen Fan had already finished loading the pistol and was waiting impatiently.
Now, seeing that Yu Yi Mingguang had finally finished speaking.
Chen Fan raised the pistol in his hand and pointed it directly at Yu Yi Mingguang's blood-soaked forehead.
"Hey! Didn't you understand? If you kill me, you'll die!" Yu Yi Mingguang said frantically.
