He hadn't won her over before because she was someone Jue Tian wanted, so he hadn't gone all out and had only stalled her.

But now, Jue Tian is dead.

He certainly wouldn't hold back anymore.

To guard against Yagyu Yukihime using underhanded tactics to take him down with her, the swordsman unleashed his most powerful technique.

Our goal is to utterly defeat Yagyu Yukihime!

But the next moment, his expression changed.

Because the feel is wrong!

Before he could figure out what was going on, goosebumps suddenly rose on his neck, and a deep chill penetrated to his bones, making him feel icy cold all over.

Without a second thought, the swordsman swung his blade backward to parry!

Unfortunately, because his confident finishing move was broken, the swordsman's mind wavered, and he reacted hastily, only managing to block half of the attack. A long, bloody gash appeared on his back.

A sharp pain shot through him, and the swordsman gasped for breath.

It was this very strike that jolted him awake. He had no time to ponder why Yagyu Yukihime was unharmed, and turned to fight back.

Just then, another burst of sword energy erupted from the side, enveloping the swordsman's entire body!

The swordsman hurriedly parried and blocked, and in a fleeting glance, his pupils contracted sharply.

"It's you! You're not dead!"

The attacker was none other than Yagyu Hyōshū.

After killing Jue Tian with a thunderbolt, she took advantage of the flying dirt to hide.

Because it was dark and she was dressed in night clothes, coupled with everyone's preconceived notions, they all thought she had perished together with Jue Tian.

The body parts on the ground were too scattered, and the panicked crowd had no time to carefully identify which bodies they were.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu managed to "shed his skin like a cicada," and then tricked the swordsman again.

"Did you escape using ninjutsu?"

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, catching the swordsman off guard, and countless tiny wounds appeared all over his body.

But his skill level was far superior. Even though he was seriously injured, his angry counterattack forced the Yagyu sisters to retreat repeatedly.

Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyōshū exchanged a glance, then used their light-footed skills to escape.

Jue Tian is dead, and the goal of this trip has been achieved. Delay could lead to unforeseen changes, so they did not want to linger any longer.

The swordsman wanted to give chase, but after taking only one step, blood began to gush uncontrollably from his wounds, leaving him utterly helpless...

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Kill them!"

Without him saying anything, the palace guards around him rushed forward.

Unfortunately, without a skilled fighter to restrain them, they were unable to stop the Yagyu sisters at all.

Just as the two women were about to break free from the entanglement, a voice rang out like thunder—

"You dare to act so violently in my Wushen Jue Palace, and you still dare to think you can escape? Stay here!"

It was as if the heavens were issuing a decree, and their words carried on, causing this small world to move in response.

It was as if an invisible hand was crushing down on the Yagyu sisters.

Borrowing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use, achieving harmony between heaven and humanity.

The celestial beings have made their move!

The Liu sisters exchanged a glance, surprised but not flustered, waiting for the "Kunji Seal" to break the deadlock.

Just then, a sharp sword intent suddenly entered the arena, cleaving the "invisible hand" in two with unstoppable force.

In an instant, the terrifying pressure that had been permeating the air vanished, and the intense feeling of suffocation disappeared.

Another celestial being!

Moreover, he is a celestial being who opposes the Wushen Jue Palace!

The Yagyu sisters suddenly turned around and saw a white-browed, white-haired man standing behind them.

The man held a knife in his left hand, his face indifferent, but what stood out most were his incredibly cold eyes.

His eyes are wild, fierce, and domineering. When you look into his eyes, you might even feel like he's going to eat you alive!

"Uncle!"

The Yagyu sisters gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The person before me is none other than Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's older brother, and also the number one expert of the Yagyu clan—Yagyu Ittsuken!

Yagyu Ittsuki turned his gaze to the Yagyu sisters, nodded to them, and then looked across at them, coldly saying, "Get out here."

"Yagyu Ichiken? You're not dead yet, and you've even reached the Celestial Realm."

A figure flickered in the darkness, and an old man with gray hair and a long beard, carrying a sword and a knife on his back, jumped out.

This old man was clearly the Celestial Being who had just suppressed the Yagyu sisters.

Yagyu Ittsuki remained expressionless and said, "The people of my Yagyu family are not so easy to kill."

The old man's back trembled with swords, and he was not to be outdone: "The Wushen Absolute Palace is not something that just any Celestial Being can afford to offend."

The two breaths clashed, and the air pressure at the scene dropped sharply.

Everyone felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe and causing them to feel suffocated.

Yagyu Yukihime winked at Yagyu Hyōshū.

The latter understood, and the two of them, without making a sound, quietly left while everyone was focused on the two celestial beings.

142 Filial Piety Between Father and Son: The Challenge Letter from the Overlord of the Eastern Sea

The two women continued their journey until they reached the riverbank and boarded a pre-arranged boat, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

The plan went smoothly; they killed Jue Tian, ​​the "source of trouble," and avenged their father and brother. However, none of them felt happy.

After all, the person is dead. Killing the culprit would only vent our anger.

Thinking of the cause of her father and brother's deaths, Yagyu Yukihime couldn't help but glance at Yagyu Hyouse and sighed inwardly.

When she decided to run away with her sister, she anticipated that her father and brother would be implicated, but she chose her sister over her father and brother.

After learning about the function of the "Kunji Seal", they rushed back without stopping, but they were still a step too late.

Jue Tian's ruthlessness exceeded their imagination; he couldn't even wait a day before killing the person!

This made Yagyu Yukihime feel both heartbroken and guilty, but also somewhat relieved.

If she and her sister were to marry such a man, their remaining lives would truly be worse than death.

As if she knew what Liu Sheng was thinking, Liu Sheng was afraid of upsetting Liu Sheng Xue Ji, so she changed the subject: "Sister, Uncle has actually entered the Celestial Realm, and why would he help us?"

Upon hearing this, Yagyu Yukihime also fell into deep thought.

Yagyu Ittsuken, the number one expert in the Yagyu family, was already a Grandmaster at the late stage of level 27 twenty years ago.

He was not only a master swordsman, but also a ninja expert. With the combination of the two, he was virtually invincible.

After mastering his skills, he traveled all over Japan and challenged eleven grandmasters of swordsmanship.

The strongest of them only lasted thirty-two moves against him.

The Yagyu family should be happy to have produced such a genius, but unfortunately, Yagyu Ittsuken walks the path of ruthless swordsmanship!

He killed his wife and son with his own hands for the sake of the sword.

From then on, he was all alone, without any ties, and devoted himself entirely to the sword.

Therefore, although Yagyu Ittsuken was a member of the family, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was very wary of, and even fearful of, his brother who was ruthless towards his own family.

Later, in search of the path to immortality, Yagyu Ittsuken crossed the ocean to the Central Region, where martial arts flourished.

He returned in less than six months.

He lost.

He didn't lose to a celestial being, but to another grandmaster of the Way of the Sword—Yan Beifei.

Losing just one game wouldn't be a big deal, but what really hurt Yagyu Ittsuken was the way his opponent won.

Yan Beifei used what he had just learned to defeat Yagyu Ittsuken!

This made Yagyu Ittsuken question the meaning of life.

“I vaguely remember my father saying when I was little that after that defeat, my uncle began to doubt his own path. Perhaps…”

Yagyu Yukihime boldly speculated: "He has already abandoned the ruthless sword path."

"Give up the ruthless sword path?" Liu Sheng Piaoxu was taken aback. "Then what will he cultivate? It won't be the compassionate sword path, will it?"

Yagyu Yukihime had thought so too, but suddenly, she remembered the look in Yagyu Ittsuki's eyes earlier.

The eyes are the windows of the soul.

Although Yagyu Ittsuken had previously come to their rescue and even nodded in greeting, Yagyu Yukihime could not detect even the slightest bit of affection or warmth in his eyes.

She didn't believe it when you said this was a swordsmanship with feelings.
