Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!

Chapter 85 The Lord of Hosts (Part 1)

Near the Red Well, the traitorous Kanto branch was celebrating and singing, rejoicing that they had wiped out the family's armed forces stationed there without firing a single shot. Except for the minister, Akechi Asuya, who was still meditating, everyone else was cheering for victory.

The Kanto branch was the most unruly and problematic branch within the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and they were also known as the Madmen Branch.

They were originally scheduled to be transferred to protect the Red Well tomorrow night, but the thieves who invaded the Genji Heavy Industries took away information about the Red Well and the Yamata no Orochi. The high-ranking members of the Yamata no Orochi family were worried about the thieves invading the Red Well, so they temporarily transferred the Kanto branch—ultimately inviting trouble and causing a major disaster.

The head of the Kanto branch, Akechi Asuya, along with combat personnel Ko, Kotetsu, Kagehisa, Osafune, and Rakuba, comprised a total of six core members. They had just led their subordinates and joined forces with the Oni Clan to eliminate the eighty-two family members stationed here.

The family's armed forces, led by Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family, were completely unprepared for their betrayal at this time. Caught off guard, they were betrayed by their own forces and were wiped out.

"The message has been sent out, right? When is the headmaster coming over?"

Akechi Asuya opened his eyes and asked the fallen leaves beside him.

The metal jawbone gleamed blindingly. Kotetsu sneered, "Boss, we've all betrayed you, there's no need to call him patriarch anymore. It's like a prostitute pretending to be a good girl."

When he said that, he was glared at by two women in the group. Kotetsu's jawbone had been dislocated, so you can imagine how lacking in emotional intelligence he was when he spoke.

Luo Ye said uncertainly, "I don't know. We can predict the family's movements because we understand the family, but Tokyo is going through a lot right now. When the patriarch will come to protect Hongjing and clean house depends on whether he has run into any trouble. I heard that the heavy industry was invaded by a single person."

"Everyone I need to defeat—I will treat them with respect before I defeat them," Akechi Asuya said calmly. "Kotetsu, respect every opponent you face, and then use every means to kill them."

All the tunnel gates had been closed. Their original plan was to lie in wait here for their traitorous colleagues to deal with Miyamoto Shigeo and then reunite with them, or for their traitorous colleagues to fail and their plans to be exposed, so they could surround the stronghold and eliminate the reinforcements sent by the head of the family, Genjiro.

It was Akechi Asuya's personal desire to challenge Genjiro. His two greatest loves in life were dissecting corpses and challenging the strongest swordsmen. Genjiro was currently recognized as the strongest swordsman in the Japanese family.

Unfortunately, there's no time left to wait for Genjiro to arrive.

Akechi Asu led Ko and Kotetsu onto the elevator platform first, while Kagehisa and Rakuha stayed behind to guard against the Oni Clan. After all, they had just surrendered and betrayed the clan, so they weren't worried about being used and discarded. However, it's hard to say whether there's any trust among madmen.

In this new era, we must fight for our own interests. Those who lay down their weapons will not gain any benefits; all they will gain is humiliation.

Instead of using the elevator platform, the longboat, as a sniper, chose his position more than 100 meters away, with his sniping range covering the area around the Red Well.

After clearing out the remaining guards, Xiao Zheng lowered her eyes and disassembled a Soviet Stankin pistol, her fingertips brushing against the blood-stained barrel.

This classic composite cartridge has claimed at least ten lives today. A masterpiece by the Soviet designer Stechkin, it was equipped with Makarov bullets that possessed the terrifying power to shatter the ribs of high-ranking mixed-race individuals at close range.

Akechi Asuya coldly observed the magnificent project, not taking it seriously until now. With just long-range shooting, they effortlessly dealt with the guards around the Red Well.

Although there was a difference in numbers, the guards at the Ganryu Research Institute were insignificant compared to the Kanto Branch. The Kanto Branch's main business was killing, and they operated independently of the family.

Defeating these chickens and dogs brought Akechi Asuya no pleasure. He was one of the best among the A-class hybrids and was known as the "Demon Blade" during his studies in Kassel. In his mind, his opponents should be Genjiro and Chu Zihang, who broke his record.

When he first heard that the swordsmanship record at Kassel College had been broken by freshman Chu Zihang, Akechi Asuya just sneered disdainfully. Of course, he would not admit that a freshman could break his record. He guessed that there must be a Chinese master who was proficient in swordsmanship hiding behind Chu Zihang.

So he wrote an email to Chu Zihang from Japan, asking which master he had studied under. Chu Zihang replied very sincerely that apart from studying at a kendo training center called "Musashi" for two years, he had learned everything else by watching kendo competition videos.

Therefore, Akechi Asuya guessed that there must be a hermit in the dojo called Musashi. Many masters in that country have this kind of style, the kind of great hermit who lives in seclusion in the city.

Now that he knew Chu Zihang's lineage, Akechi Asuya disdained to compete with Chu Zihang again. Why fight a student when you can beat your teacher? He rested and recuperated for three days and specially applied to his family for a business trip to China. He was going to China to fight that peerless swordsman.

He got off the plane in that small seaside town, took a taxi, and wandered around before finally finding the kendo training center. Standing in front of the "Musashi" sign, Akechi Asuya later learned that the so-called Musashi kendo training was a profit-making project run by the Children's Palace, costing 2000 yen for 40 lessons, but with a referral, it could be reduced to 1800 yen.

There were only two gossipy middle-aged male coaches at the training center, one surnamed Chen and the other surnamed Xu, along with a group of eight- or nine-year-old children wielding bamboo swords. That day, after defeating the two children, Akechi Asuya was awarded the "Children's Palace Sword Saint Medal" and a toy laser sword by the Children's Palace. Upon receiving this honor, Akechi Asuya sat on the cold stone steps of the Children's Palace and laughed—a laugh of anger.

After Chu Zihang arrived in Tokyo, he tried to fight several times, but was refused by Genjiro, who said he could not disturb the guests.

Fortunately, he now has the opportunity. After betraying his country, he can challenge whoever he wants, not only Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng, but also the guy wearing a McDonald's mask who invaded the family, who is said to be wielding a knife.

These three people will eventually become his stepping stones, and he will prove that when he holds the sword, he is the number one in Japan!

The elevator platform reached the top of the Red Well, and Asuya saw the huge vertical well for the first time. Its surface area was about one square kilometer. They saw another group of people opening the valve of the mercury pool. The two groups met face to face.

There was no need to hide now that things had come to this. Kotetsu revealed a malicious smile, and Akechi Asuya drew his sword directly. He was really itching to kill and dissect corpses tonight.
