Chapter 735 Rumi Wakasa VS Rena Mizunashi, The Final Meeting
Watching the fight between Black Mamba and Copperhead on camera, Oni Takeshi nodded secretly.

It can only be said that success is not a matter of luck. Uma Thurman's later success with "Kill Bill" shows that she does have a great talent for action scenes.

Although he had no experience with action scenes, under his tutelage, he was able to perform the actions very well, with swift and powerful strikes that looked quite convincing.

In the scene, the copperhead snake and the black mamba that came knocking fiercely fought in the cramped kitchen, each move thrilling and deadly, making the audience hold their breath.

Both were once top-tier assassins, each displaying their unique skills in a life-or-death struggle, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Of course, in reality, Uma Thurman is no match for Rumi Wakasa.

But in the story, one fights for revenge, and the other fights to save his life and his child, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

In the end, however, the Black Mamba proved superior, finishing off the Copperhead Serpent with a single blow.

The enemy on the revenge list has been reduced by one more person.

Before leaving, Black Mamba stared at his sister, who had witnessed their mother's brutal death, and coldly said in the latter's hateful gaze:
"If you want revenge, then come on!"

This scene foreshadows that hatred will not disappear, but will only continue.

This movie seems to be exploring human nature at every moment.

……

After finishing filming this scene, the crew moved to Austin, Texas.

Black Mamba's third enemy, "Rattlesnake" Bard, lives in seclusion here.

In the original version, Bud was Bill's brother, but here the latter is played by Takeshi Oni, so Bud needs to be played by an Asian actor.

Takeshi Ono invited Zeng Jiang, whose ambiguous style made her perfectly suited for the role.

Zeng Jiang perfectly portrayed Bard's cunning and treacherous nature, successfully ambushing Black Mamba and then burying her in a coffin, attempting to suffocate her to death.

Black Mamba is in a life-or-death crisis.

At that critical moment, she remembered the time she had followed Bill to mainland China to become a disciple of a reclusive master.

The latter professor gave her a special move—the Five-Finger Heart-Piercing Palm!

Using this special move, Black Mamba punched through the coffin and escaped safely.

The scene depicting Black Mamba becoming White Eyebrows' apprentice will appear as a flashback in the main storyline.

This scene had already been filmed, and Takeshi Ono specially took the crew to the mainland to film on location.

It's worth mentioning that the original actor who played Bai Mei was also the Deadly Scholar, but the timeline was ten years earlier. At that time, he was too young and lacked the air of a reclusive master.

Therefore, Takeshi Ono chose another actor.

When it comes to reclusive masters, the first person that comes to mind for Guiyewu is Master Bao Fang, who truly deserves the description of "ethereal and otherworldly".

In particular, his portrayal of Zhang Sanfeng was so vivid and elegant, with a refined appearance and a free and easy demeanor, that it felt as if the real Zhang Sanfeng was there.

Upon receiving Oni Takeshi's invitation, the old man naturally did not refuse and came directly from Hong Kong Island to the mainland.

The final shooting result was naturally a happy one for everyone.

Let’s get back to the present.

Having escaped danger, Black Mamba once again sought revenge on Bard. Bard, believing he had defeated Black Mamba, contacted another assassin, "California Mountain Snake" Al, under the pretext of selling Hattori Hanzo's treasured sword.

Unfortunately, the cunning Bard still fell into the trap and was ambushed and killed by the Black Mamba snake that El had hidden in the money box.

It was a cycle of cause and effect; in the end, he still died from the attack of the 'Black Mamba'.

However, just as El was triumphantly preparing to leave with the money and the precious sword, he was kicked back into the house by Black Mamba, who had been waiting outside.

The two then engaged in a fierce battle.

Both El and Black Mamba were disciples of White Eyebrows, making them fellow disciples with comparable strength.

The battle between the two was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

……

"Card!"

Oni no Takeshi interrupted the performance, walked up to Mizunashi Rena, and reprimanded her mercilessly: "El and Black Mamba are of similar strength, but what were you doing just now? You were completely suppressed by the opponent!"
"What I need is a battle of equal strength, not a one-sided beating of a weakling!" Rena Mizunashi lowered her head, biting her lip, not daring to refute.

She is the one who plays the role of El.

But she didn't dare tell Onino Takeshi, nor did she want to admit that she had just been stunned by Wakasa Rumi.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Rena Mizunashi was still shocked by Rumi Wakasa's strength when they actually clashed.

—As requested by Onino Takeshi, the battle between the two was still a real fight.

Moreover, for some reason, Wakasa Rumi's attacks were even more ruthless than when she fought Vermouth, making them difficult to defend against.

Rena Mizunashi was unaware that it was precisely because she was recommended by Vermouth that Rumi Wakasa became suspicious. The reason she did this was to force Rena to use her full strength as a test.

After all, a TV host shouldn't have such sharp skills.

At this point, Wakasa Rumi was about 80% certain that this Mizunashi Rena was no ordinary person and was most likely also a member of the organization, which surprised and delighted her.

Having learned the whereabouts of another member of the organization, they now have the opportunity to further understand and investigate the organization.

As expected, agreeing to star in the movie with Takeshi Onino was the right decision.

Meanwhile, Rena Mizunashi was shocked by Rumi Wakasa's skills, as even she, an elite CIA agent, was no match for her, which made her suspicious of Rumi Wakasa as well.

Who is the other party?

The two women each had their own thoughts, but Oni Takeshi didn't care about their ideas; he only cared about the effect of the filming.

However, the results of several shoots failed to satisfy him.

There was no other way but to keep filming over and over again.

This was a real hardship for Mizunashi Rena, who was repeatedly "killed" by Wakasa Rumi.

Finally, probably unable to take it anymore, Rena Mizunashi couldn't hold back and started fighting with Rumi Wakasa with all her might.

Unexpectedly, the results were much better, and he finally gained Ono Takeshi's approval.

"Card!"

"pass."

Rena Mizunashi let out a hard breath and got up from the ground with blood all over her forehead.

He couldn't help but curse Vermouth to death in his heart. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have to suffer like this.

And that woman...

Rena Mizunashi turned her head to look in the direction of Rumi Wakasa, and met a gaze that was also directed at her.

The moment their eyes met, a strange glint flashed in both women's eyes.

……

With Bard and El down, only one name remained on the revenge list—

Oninotake!
Black Mamba is finally about to confront the culprit who caused everything, and who is also the source of her pain.

"It's time to end this!"

……

The crew then returned to Japan, where the final scenes will be filmed.

Takeshi Ono directly offered up the Watanuki-gumi's manor, using it as his lair in the movie.

Having pinpointed the exact location, the Black Mamba came knocking.

Takeshi Ono's villainous role has finally appeared, adding a touch of ruthlessness and domineering presence compared to the original character.

"You finally came."

Oni Takeshi smiled as he gazed at the woman before him, with whom he had a complicated and entangled relationship of gratitude and resentment.

Everything will end tonight...
