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

A knife is a knife, and a key is a key. If you insist on doing something unnecessary, it will inevitably backfire.

What's the difference between a knife without a blade and a blunt weapon? It's like cutting off your own arm.

Zhou Fengliu said that Ishikawa Ken's actions of giving the sword and shield sheaths were truly outrageous, like opening a door to something outrageous—outrageous to the extreme.

Just as Ishikawa Ken was being thoroughly beaten by the sword spirit, several ninja squads quietly made their way up the mountain, firing their guns stealthily...

It was clear that they came from the Bihe Mountain organization and were very familiar with the mountainous terrain near the Broken Sword Trial.

As for why they were so familiar with the surrounding terrain, it must be because there was a leak of information within the Fish Dragon Society.

Yes.

That's right.

The inside man was a double agent of both Biheshan and the Fish-Dragon Society, codenamed Armor-Piercing Mountain...

With the topographical map provided by Chuanjia Mountain and the personnel deployment of Ishikawa Shin, they bypassed most of the outposts and appeared in the core area of ​​the Broken Sword Trial as if striking at the heart of the enemy.

"The arena for the Sword Trial is just ahead. We must be clear about our objective... to take Hiruma."

The leader of the operation, Biheshan, gave his subordinates some brief instructions.

"Ah."

"Three, two, one... Let's start!"

As the countdown of this minor leader ended, a group of Hieiyama ninja rushed towards the venue of the Broken Sword Trial at incredible speed.

The smoke grenades thrown along the way instantly spewed out white mist, covering their movements.

"It's an attack! Stop them!"

The guards on the Ishikawa side reacted quickly after witnessing the surprise attack from Mount Hiei.

how to say?

Hieiyama came prepared, but the Fish Dragon Society and the Ishikawa family were also well-prepared.

Ishikawa Shin knew from the beginning that this sword-breaking trial would not go smoothly, so he had arranged heavy troops nearby.

Soon, a chaotic battle broke out between the two sides. Due to Hieiyama Shinobu's surprise attack, which avoided a protracted war, the battle was like a sharp knife piercing straight into the arena of the broken sword trial.

...

the other side.

At the site of the sword-breaking trial, Ishikawa Shinya received news of the attack on the east side immediately.

Looking at his eldest son, who was being suppressed and beaten by the sword spirit not far away, Ishikawa Shin also frowned.

He knew that Ishikawa Ken had a technique he hadn't used yet, specifically designed to cut through Hirumaru...

The opportune moment to use this move may not have arrived yet, but the enemy has already appeared...

"Guild Master, the enemy is too fast, we can't stop them..."

The walkie-talkie crackled with news of the Fish Dragon Society members, causing Ishikawa Shin's already furrowed brows to furrow even more deeply.

This won't work...

Ishikawa Shin turned his gaze to Zhou Fengliu, who was yawning on the opposite bank, then adjusted the channel on his walkie-talkie and began to speak:

"Jay Chou..."

"?"

Upon hearing Ishikawa Shin's voice on the walkie-talkie, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow.

Why use a walkie-talkie when we're this close?

So particular?

"Hello, Chairman Ishikawa, is there a situation?" Zhou Fengliu asked into the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the people sent by Higeyama have arrived. I've taken the Ishikawa family to intercept them. I'd like to entrust the Sword Trial venue to Mr. Zhou..."

Ishikawa Shin stated that he would lead the Ishikawa family members in the Broken Sword Trial venue to stop Hiaiyama Shinobu, so that the entire Broken Sword Trial could proceed smoothly.

"I'll do it?"

Upon hearing Ishikawa Shin's words, Zhou Fengliu glanced at Ishikawa Ken and the sword spirit who were locked in combat on the field.

"Mr. Zhou, my son's life is in your hands. If things don't go well... I believe you can interrupt the Sword Trial just like last time." Ishikawa Shin said sincerely.

Aside from the Ishikawa family, the only person he could probably trust present was Zhou Fengliu...

As for why he trusted a director of a foreign organization with supernatural abilities so much...

Don't ask.

The answer is that they've seen Zhou Fengliu's strength.

Faced with Ishikawa Shin's sincere trust, Zhou Fengliu did not agree directly. Instead, he asked a question into the walkie-talkie:

"Is it also ten million US dollars?"

"..."

Ok?

The moment Zhou Fengliu uttered that number, Ishikawa Shin, who had been so sincere and believed that "there is true love in the world," instantly became somewhat deflated.

Seriously, officer? Not again?

That last twenty million US dollars already nearly killed the Ishikawa family. And now Zhou Fengliu wants the remaining half too?

It really is... taking everything you wanted, without caring about the fate of the Ishikawa family...

"Jay Chou, is Shenzhou Coin feasible?"

After a moment of silence, Ishikawa Shin began to bargain.

Chapter 531 Your swordsmanship is dead, and you should be dead too (Second update)

Frankly speaking, the Ishikawa family's business isn't a monopolistic leader in the entire country of Japan...

Giving away ten million US dollars like that is really impossible.

In the entire country of cherry blossoms... the only entity capable of spending money like that is probably the conglomerate behind Hieiyama.

Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised to hear Ishikawa Shin's answer.

Ishikawa Shin, you really gave it to me...

He was just saying it casually. After all, it's just keeping watch, he doesn't have to lift a finger, and he doesn't need to ask for any money...

As it turned out, Ishikawa Shin actually offered to give him more money after his casual remark...

OK OK.

If he were to give it to Ishikawa Shin like that, Jay Chou would say that Ishikawa Shin's career path would be much wider.

“Sure, Chairman Ishikawa, you can go without worry. Nothing will happen here,” Zhou Fengliu replied.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's response, Ishikawa Shin finally felt relieved.

"Mr. Jay Chou, I'm begging you."

After speaking into the walkie-talkie, Ishikawa Shin called on the Ishikawa family members present to intercept the ninja from Mount Hiei.

With their departure, the arena for the Sword Trial instantly became much emptier, appearing exceptionally deserted.

Seeing Ishikawa Shin hurriedly leave with his men, Zhang Chulan looked like a weasel that couldn't find any melons in a melon patch, completely bewildered.

What happened?

Why did they all leave?

Could it be that Biheshan has launched an attack?

Just as Zhang Chulan was wondering about this, he saw a sudden situation unfold at the battlefield.

Seizing a moment when a sword spirit was exhausted from its attack, Ishikawa Ken suddenly swung his sword.

Although it looked like a single slash, in the blink of an eye, he unleashed multiple strikes, a technique he had honed for many years: the Water-Severing Leech!

As the name suggests, this move was created specifically to sever Hirumaru.

Faced with Ishikawa Ken's Water-Severing Leech technique, the sword spirit keenly sensed the danger and hurriedly sheathed its sword and pulled it back.

That strike... had some skill, but that's about it.

Having only seen it once, the sword spirit roughly understood the principle behind the water-cutting leech, which was aimed at his demon sword.

call--

Seeing that the sword spirit did not directly block his water-cutting leech, Ishikawa Ken adjusted his breathing rhythm.

Although the sword spirit dodged in an instant, it also revealed its fear of his Water-Severing Leech.

Also.

This sword technique was created specifically to sever demonic blades, and he honed it in his hands for twenty years... The sword spirit should be wary of it.

Since one strike failed, let's try another!

After catching his breath, Ishikawa Ken pressed his advantage and continued to use the Water-Cutting Leech to slash at the Hiruma in the sword spirit's hand.

Although he had been suppressed by the sword spirit for dozens of rounds, and his body was covered with wounds and countless knife wounds, he became more and more courageous in the battle.

The glint in his eyes... proved his determination to sever ties with Hirumaru.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

This time... Ishikawa Ken is going to make a name for himself! From now on, the Ishikawa family genealogy will have its own page dedicated to him!

Execute him!

Can a sword swung with determination and hope sever the demonic blade?

The answer is... no.

Just as Ishikawa Ken was about to utter "Slash!", the sword spirit blocked the leech's attack path with a parry and used the force to deflect the attack away.

How... how could they possibly predict my attack route?
