At that moment, the entire venue fell completely silent.
Only the raging wind and rain howled hysterically, and everyone gasped for breath, still finding it very difficult to breathe, like a fish about to suffocate.
Until the atmosphere reached its most intense and violent moment, the entire Takamagahara suddenly became utterly silent.
A clanging sound.
In this silent and dark world, a piercingly blue light, as if splitting the heavens and earth, shot forth with a fierce and turbulent force. At first, no sound could be heard, but as the light drew near, a sudden and terrifying wind arose, and a roaring sound filled the air.
That was Genjiro's fatal strike.
The Rakshasa Demon Bone, which had been gathering its power to the extreme, was unleashed in an instant, its blade pointing directly at Lin Ye.
Anyone facing this fatal blow would feel their own insignificance. They may not believe in gods, but this strike would become their faith. Even if they were to die by this strike, they would feel extremely honored, and their lives would be elevated at this moment.
However, it was precisely this deadly killing intent that made Lin Ye's aura completely subside, like a turbulent body of water becoming still and calm.
Until a leaf slowly fell, the water surface rippled again.
drink!
Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes and let out a deep shout.
His previously dormant aura erupted like a volcano, revealing that he had not been completely calm before, but rather had suppressed his power to the extreme, until this moment when it all burst forth.
Like a giant rock thrown into a lake, it stirs up a thousand layers of raging waves!
Lin Ye stomped forward with his right foot, drew his reverse-blade sword, and slashed upwards. A dragon's roar rose, a flash of cold light appeared, and the sharp intent of mountains and seas pressed down.
On the stage of Takamagahara, a chilling roar echoed like a madman!
Like a traditional Chinese ink painting, a furious dragon was hidden deep within the thick clouds. With Lin Ye's slash, the ferocious dragon's head suddenly burst out from the sea of clouds, roaring as it crushed its opponent, determined to tear it to pieces under its claws.
At the same time, Genjiro's ultimate strike, Oni-Bone Rakshasa, also attacked.
In an instant, two crescent moons seemed to appear in the dimly lit Takamagahara, one a deep blue and the other a pale white.
The cold, sharp moonlight, both blue and white, clearly divided the entire Takamagahara.
The next moment, the two moons met, and a deafening roar erupted.
Takamagahara seemed to transform into a turbulent sea, with waves crashing in, carrying sharp, cutting power.
The entire stage was instantly shattered into pieces, with tables, chairs, and even decorative dragon pillars along the way being smashed to pieces, creating a scene of utter chaos.
Until everything calms down.
Two figures crossed paths, standing back to back.
The girls, their clothes disheveled and their faces filled with horror, emerged from behind their various hiding places. They were stunned by what they saw. On the shattered stage, two figures stood holding knives, their auras cold and murderous. In the dark atmosphere, the figure of the boy dressed in red and white samurai clothes stood out.
The applause was deafening and as enthusiastic as a tidal wave.
This applause of love was naturally inspired by the girls' passion for their swordsmanship. Some girls even let their already tattered suspenders fall to their feet because of clapping their hands.
"Cough cough cough..."
The humpback whale crawled out of a pile of broken tables and chairs, its once shiny head now topped with a pink bra belonging to some girl. At the most intense moment of the sword duel, the humpback whale saw colorful pieces of clothing and various fragrances wafting towards it, but it had no time to pay attention to them, as it was completely focused on the battle.
Now that the battle is over, the humpback whale looks at this brutal 'battlefield' with lingering fear, completely numb.
This wasn't a sword duel; it was practically a battle of magic between two immortals! Only at this moment did the two sword masters withdraw their divine powers!
Facing the destroyed Takamagahara, the humpback whale showed no sadness whatsoever. On the contrary, he was extremely excited. He looked at Lin Ye on the stage, his fierce eyes shining as brightly as 24K titanium alloy, a light of extreme fervor.
If Lin Ye Niu Lang's potential was like a gem in the Humpback Whale's heart before, then it is now undoubtedly a blazing sun.
That handsome face, that domineering swordsmanship, that chilling and aloof aura, that…
"Aye, my Aye, Spalashi..."
As the humpback whale looked at Lin Ye on the stage, its fists clenched involuntarily, and tears streamed down its rugged face.
"Kenshin is so handsome! Mommy loves you!"
"Kenshin is mine, da da da da da!"
"Are you a machine gun... Waaah, Kenshin, come stomp on me!"
……
The female customers went even crazier.
They screamed, staring at Lin Ye on the stage with a cold expression, their legs tightly pressed together, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
If Lin Ye's previous imitation of Kenshin Himura was merely similar in temperament, then after the fierce battle with Genjiro, his unparalleled swordsmanship, his domineering Sky Soaring Dragon Flash, and the chilling and persistent spirit almost etched into his bones, it can be said that Lin Ye's portrayal of Kenshin was directly elevated.
This...this isn't acting at all, it's like a powerful swordsman who stepped out of the Edo period, willing to unleash a deadly attack or even sacrifice himself to usher in a new era.
Among the girls at the head of the group, Erii held up a poster of Lin Ye as a male escort. She couldn't shout out loud, so she could only make muffled noises towards Lin Ye. Her beautiful face was flushed, and she was extremely excited.
"It's over...right?"
On the stage, Lin Ye thought to himself with trepidation.
At the same time, the system's voice rang in my mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission: You fought to a draw with Genjiro in a kendo duel. Reward: 200 points.]
Chapter 10 Erii: How dare you?! [Please add to your favorites! Please vote!]
Holy crap, the boss didn't win?!
Crow Yaksha was dumbfounded, and even Sakura looked astonished and incredulous.
In their hearts, Genjiro was a man comparable to a god. As long as this man got serious, no matter whether the opponent was human or demon, everything had to obediently submit to him. Even if they did not submit, they would be beaten into submission.
That's not arrogance, but an ironclad principle that no one can shake.
The Japanese branch's current glory is entirely due to Genjiro's hard work, cutting away at every single blade. Those who dared to challenge him, whether human or demon, have long since been reduced to pieces of corpses.
As Genjiro's direct subordinate, he was arguably the person who understood him best. It was truly hard for Crow and the others to imagine what could possibly make this powerful man lose!
But now the undeniable truth is right before our eyes: Genjiro did not defeat Lin Ye, and we didn't even see any serious injuries on the male host.
Swordsmanship was Genjiro's forte. When they carried out those missions to kill out-of-control hybrids, even if the executives of the Execution Bureau did not participate directly, they could still deeply feel the terrifying scene under Genjiro's sword light while waiting on the periphery to close in.
Once the Eight Phases are activated, no one will be loved! As long as this hellish level of ultimate killing is unleashed, all that's left for those Deadpools is time to pray, provided that the Deadpools still have the sanity to pray.
Although Genjiro's greatest strength lies in his terrifying dragon bloodline, and all living beings must kneel before him once he unleashes his royal power, even in a sword fight, this man is equally powerful. Yet, Lin Ye has never been defeated by Genjiro, which is an undeniable fact!
Crow and the others looked intently at Lin Ye.
If they still can't see Lin Ye's terrifying hidden strength at this point, they'd really be idiots.
After glancing at Erii, who was excitedly watching from below the stage because Lin Ye hadn't been defeated, Crow and the others began to ponder. With Erii's discerning eye, how could she possibly be interested in such a mere showpiece? It could only mean that the girl had a premonition or already knew that Lin Ye was definitely a hidden master of swordsmanship.
Why would a master swordsman become a host at a host club? Or is Lin Ye seeking to understand life and pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship?
It can be said that through this intense sword duel, Lin Ye's image became deeply shrouded in mystery in the minds of the group.
Yuan Zhisheng's forehead veins bulged.
Not to mention that Crow Yaksha and the others didn't believe he hadn't defeated Lin Ye in this sword duel, even he, the person involved, couldn't believe that he had actually fought to a draw with a gigolo in a sword duel.
This was not just a failure for Genjiro, but a huge humiliation, especially since he was about to break through Lin Ye's ridiculous pretense as a gigolo.
The situation has become more serious.
Not only did Genji not expose Lin Ye's disguise, he even vindicated Lin Ye's name of sword heart in an unprecedented way.
Now, Lin Ye's reputation as the peerless swordsman has truly resounded throughout Takamagahara. With further promotion through various channels, he may become famous throughout the entire Tokyo metropolis.
Yuan Zhisheng's face was somber, and he stared intently at Lin Ye, as if trying to see through him.
No one could sense Lin Ye's swordsmanship power more clearly than him. If we were to discuss swordsmanship purely, Lin Ye had already reached the level of a grandmaster.
There's no need to expose or refute it; Lin Ye is a genuine, top-tier swordsman.
But with such strong abilities, why would someone work as a male escort at a host club, and even put on such a stellar performance in order to become a full-fledged male escort?
For a moment, Genji felt the same doubt as Crow and the others.
Seeing the deep gaze of the giant tortoise fixed on him, Lin Ye calmly sheathed his sword.
He appeared to have escaped serious injury in the fight, but that was only an appearance.
In reality, during the series of battles just now, Lin Ye's whole body was violently impacted, and his right hand holding the knife was still trembling slightly. The reason he put away the knife was to cover up the trembling. Even his internal organs were greatly impacted.
Although Genjiro did not use the power of the Word of Power, his abnormal physique was still there. Every slash was powerful and rolling, like a battering ram constantly hitting. Fortunately, Lin Ye had previously fused with the combat-type Himura Kenshin, which not only made his swordsmanship comparable to a grandmaster, but also increased his physical strength by several levels. Otherwise, such force alone would have been enough to take most of Lin Ye's life.
Lin Ye concealed his true feelings well, appearing completely normal. He stood on the shattered stage, his expression cold and stern. A casual glance revealed a haughty and icy gaze, yet within that icy coldness lay a chilling domineering aura, giving one the feeling that 'anyone who dares to provoke him again should be prepared to face his blade at any moment.'
"Aya, I want to apologize to you!"
The humpback whale slid down to Lin Ye's feet and grabbed the boy's leg.
Lin Ye looked down in astonishment at the bald, muscular man who was on the verge of tears. "Manager, what did you do wrong? Don't be like this, get up and talk!"
"I do not!"
The humpback whale's rugged face was filled with determination. "Yo, I really can't get up! Your unparalleled swordsmanship has completely won me over. I even said you were the top host in Takamagahara before. I'm sorry, I, the humpback whale, was blind. Yo, you are the strongest! You are Kenshin! You are The One! You are destined to usher in a new era for the host club world!"
"Manager, you flatter me. I, Lin Ye, am utterly unworthy of such an honor..."
Lin Ye's lips twitched.
He hadn't expected the humpback whale to be so excited, especially since he had never intended to usher in a new era for male escorts!
Japan's number one host is Kazama Ruri, that guy whose dragon bloodline is even more terrifying than a giant tortoise. His Word of Power, Dream Baku, is a destructive impact that comes directly from the spiritual level. It's so strong that it's unsolvable. Even if he ushers in a new era for hosts, it's Kazama who ushers in it. What does it have to do with me, Lin Ye? Moreover, if Kazama Ruri were to become more famous because of his reputation, and Kazama Ruri were to follow the trail out of curiosity, Lin Ye felt that he was already halfway to death.
"Aya, you have to believe in yourself! You are the strongest, The One! Even that legendary Japanese host, Kazama Ryu..." The humpback whale was so excited that it was about to say the name of that person.
"Shop manager, shut up!"
Lin Ye roared angrily.
The humpback whale was stunned, not understanding why the boy was reacting so strongly.
Lin Ye looked solemn and said, "Manager, Kazama-senpai is my idol. I am still a junior in the host club industry. Even if I have some talent, I cannot be arrogant. Moreover, I have always regarded the legendary host Kazama-senpai as my lifelong goal. Please do not make such comparisons in the future. There is no comparison, because I, Lin Ye, am not worthy!"
"Aye..."
The humpback whale's lips trembled, and tears welled up in its eyes again.
He was completely moved by Lin Ye's sincere words. A boy who was neither humble nor arrogant, yet extremely strong and with unlimited potential—wasn't this the ultimate male-style flower arrangement he had been pursuing?
