Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

"Did you upset Jay Chou? Or someone else in your family?"

He figured Zhou Fengliu wouldn't just smash up someone else's house; there must have been someone foolish enough to provoke him.

Upon hearing Ishikawa Shin start labeling him, Ishikawa Ken hurriedly said that he wouldn't dare...

What kind of international joke is this?

How many heads do we have to lose?

"Father, we wouldn't dare..."

In response to Ishikawa Ken's statement, Ishikawa Shin nodded and then gave the instructions:

"Jay Chou is our honored guest and also your savior. Whether from a sentimental or logical standpoint, you should respect him..."

“Father is right.”

"Are you ready? Tomorrow's Broken Sword Trial..." Ishikawa Shin asked again.

"Yes, Father, don't worry... As long as nothing goes wrong, the advantage is in our hands."

"..."

Upon hearing his eldest son's words, "The advantage lies with me," Ishikawa Ken's right eyelid began to twitch again for some reason, and an ominous premonition once more enveloped his heart.

...

The next day.

The arena for testing the broken swords.

The Ishikawa family had made preparations well in advance, and the entire Broken Sword Trial would be secretly held in a clearing in the mountains.

Besides Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and others, some respected elders and outstanding members of the Ishikawa family also participated in this sword-breaking trial.

According to the rules of the Broken Sword Trial, if the Demon Sword goes out of control, they will swarm it and take it under control...

As far as the eye can see, for safety reasons, there are many members of the Ishikawa family, including Ishikawa Shin's confidants from the Fish Dragon Society, in this mountain forest.

They will patrol the mountains and forests according to the plan to ensure the success of this sword-breaking test.

...

"Miss Feng, please rest assured, these talismans will not have any effect on you. Activating them will only restrict your movements..."

A Japanese Onmyoji was putting some kind of talisman on Feng Baobao while talking to her.

"Oh..." Feng Baobao nodded, she didn't have any symptoms at the moment.

"Sister Bao'er, don't worry, we're here...we'll definitely ensure your safety."

Zhang Chulan offered Feng Baobao a word of comfort, though it was of little use. Nevertheless, it showed his concern for her role in this Sword Trial – the atmosphere team.

...

A moment later.

With all preparations complete, the trial of the swords officially begins.

On this open space, Feng Baobao and Shi Chuanjian stood on the east and west sides respectively, with the Shi Chuan family and Chen Duo and others behind them.

On the north and south sides stood Zhou Fengliu and Ishikawa Shin.

Let's begin!

As Ishikawa Shin said "begin," Ishikawa Ken, dressed in a Japanese swordsman's uniform, gripped his sword and prepared.

Feng Baobao also opened the scabbard of the demon sword Hirumaru and slowly drew it out.

hum-

Feng Baobao drew the demon sword Hirumaru, and the figure of the sword spirit inside Hirumaru instantly appeared in front of her.

As far as the eye could see, the sword spirit was emanating black energy, and held a blade covered in black energy in its hand.

Upon seeing Feng Baobao, he was startled at first, then instinctively flinched away.

Seeing that Feng Baobao didn't take out the Ruyi to hit him this time, his brow twitched.

Seeing that Feng Baobao was sitting cross-legged on the spot without making a move, he then noticed that the black energy attached to the demon sword in his hand was gradually dissipating. At this moment, he roughly understood Feng Baobao's thoughts.

"You... agreed to lend me your body?" the sword spirit asked.

"Okay... Go ahead."

Hearing Feng Baobao's answer, Blade & Soul was a little touched.

Looking at the clearly visible demon sword in his hand, he sighed, "After all these years, this is the first time I've truly taken up Hirumaru..."

"This is the first time someone has shown no covetousness for my power and has been willing to lend me their body completely. I don't know who you are... but I am extremely grateful."

He first thanked Feng Baobao, then dispelled the power from the Hirumaru sword.

"The one who was killed by Hirumaru is a powerful being who resided within him. This time, we don't need your strength!"

As he swung his sword, the last trace of black energy on Hirumaru's body vanished, revealing its original form.

"It's been so long since I've experienced a battle of pure consciousness."

The sword spirit completely took over Feng Baobao's body, which gradually cleared his vision.

Upon seeing the swordsman opponent before him, the sword spirit beckoned with his finger:

"Come on, kid, don't let me down."

Although it was the sword spirit speaking, it had a slight accent because it was in Feng Baobao's body.

...

A pure demonic sword... without any sense of oppression or discomfort.

Ishikawa Ken looked at Feng Baobao in front of him.

Facing the current sword spirit, he felt nothing like the demon he had faced before. It was as if the two were simply dueling swordsmen, rather than fighting to the death.

"Ishikawa Ryu, Ishikawa Ken!"

As Ishikawa Ken introduced himself, the long sword in his hand was suddenly drawn.

He suddenly exerted force with both legs, and the burst of power allowed him to take two steps to reach Feng Baobao.

He channeled an invisible force into the blade of his sword, then slashed downwards with tremendous force.

This was absolutely his all-out effort, but unfortunately... the potential of the number one in the Ishikawa family is really too low.

Even if you go all out, it's nothing in the eyes of the sword spirit.

The sword spirit controlled Feng Baobao's body, and with a simple circular motion, it parried Ishikawa Ken's slash.

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 530 The Advantage Lies With Me? No, It's Another Case of Me Being Fleeed! (First Update)

"Are you testing me?"

Having easily caught Ishikawa Ken's sword strike, the sword spirit posed a profound question.

He then turned and unleashed several backhand slashes, forcing Ishikawa Shin back.

Looking at Ishikawa Ken's young face, the sword spirit thought of Ishikawa Ken's self-introduction just now.

"and many more..."

"Ishikawa, that name sounds familiar..."

"Oh, I remember now... the guy who always appears when I'm fighting with greedy people for control of my body."

"Despite possessing excellent swordsmanship, he always envelops the blade with his life energy, preventing the sharp blade from unleashing its full potential."

"You intend to defeat me with this binding sword?"

The sword spirit asked Ishikawa Ken.

“Yes.” Kenichi Ishikawa nodded upon hearing this.

What the sword spirit was referring to was the core of their Ishikawa school: the sword of non-killing, also known as the Buddha sword. It is a school of thought that targets the opponent's weapon without killing them.

"Fine... since you all look down on real sword duels so much, then there's nothing I can do."

Having received confirmation from Ishikawa Ken, the sword spirit sighed at the Ishikawa school's outdated style, and then launched a fierce attack on Ishikawa Ken.

Ishikawa Ken's raw strength was already insufficient, and coupled with the Ishikawa family's unique Buddhist sword style, he was simply unable to withstand the sword spirit's swift attacks.

stab-

Ishikawa Ken couldn't block it at all, and the blade of the demon sword Hirumaru easily cut through the flesh of his right shoulder, and the warm blood gradually soaked through his clothes on his right shoulder.

The advantage lies with me?

No.

It's another attempt to rip me off.

Even when facing Hirumaru who had not seized the power of other strong individuals, Ken Ishikawa still could not defeat Hirumaru in his true form.

Zhou Fengliu, who had been watching the game for a while, looked at Ishikawa Ken's lackluster performance with a puzzled expression.

If this is all Ishikawa Ken is capable of, he probably won't be able to cut this cursed sword even next year...

That's absolutely outrageous.

At this moment, after carefully observing the Ishikawa family's Buddhist sword techniques, Zhou Fengliu came to an outrageous conclusion.

You had no choice but to use primordial qi to shield the blade of a perfectly good sword...

Is that right?

It's like a key that could normally be inserted and unlock the door, but you insist on putting a deceptive outer shell on it, saying something like:

If you lose your keys, you don't want someone to be able to easily pick them up and open your door...

Whether the key was lost or not is unknown, but it was stuck in the lock and couldn't be pulled out.

...
