Chapter 578: I Am Me, Why Do I Need to Prove Myself?!
“What the f*ck is the China No.1? It’s just an undeserved reputation. We don’t care if you’re the king of China, but if you dare come to Japan, you’re courting death!”
Following the sudden voice, the stunned crowd immediately snapped out of their daze. Hearing that, a middle-aged man wearing hunting clothes and a black hat slowly walked out from behind Chiba Izumi.
The middle-aged man was none other than Hidemoto Jiro. However, there was a hint of amusement on his face, as if he was disdainful.
“It’s Master Jiro!”
“I didn’t expect Master Jiro from the Hidemoto clan to come too!”
“Greetings, Master Jiro!”
“…”
As soon as he appeared, the people around him were instantly energized. There was an unconcealable admiration in their eyes!
There was no other reason why the term Hidemoto clan was amazing enough to lift the spirits, as Yin Yang Masters held the highest status in Japan!
At that moment, Chiba Yoshiko, who was next to Ye Chen, had a drastic change of expression. She said to Ye Chen by instinct, “Master, this person’s name is Hidemoto Jiro. He’s the proud disciple of the head of the Hidemoto clan. At the same time, he’s a high-level Yin Yang Master.
It is said that he has three gods. Each of them is enough to kill any powerhouse below Sword Saint. This person had once used three gods to escape death from an powerhouse who was on par with a Sword Saint!”
At this point, her face was extremely pale.
Before she came, she thought she had a good understanding of the Chiba family’s ability. Following the death of the over ten heaven-class ninjas, she thought no one in the Chiba family would be Ye Chen’s match.
She did not expect that a proud disciple of the head of the Hidemoto clan would appear. For a moment, her heart sank.
As soon as she finished introducing him, Hidemoto Jiro glanced at her grimly at first. Eventually, he fixed his eyes on Ye Chen with a ferocious gaze.
“Chiba Izumi, I think you’re getting more and more cowardly as you get older. Is this brat enough to scare you? Moreover, you believe that he’s Mad Southern Ye just because he said so?”
As soon as he said that, Chiba Izumi reacted immediately. He could not help but sneer, “Brat, you said you’re Mad Southern Ye. How do you prove it?”
“I am me, why do I need to prove myself?!”
Ye Chen scoffed and took a step forward.
He, Ye Chen, was once the Heavenly Emperor. He ruled the heavens and suppressed hundreds of tribes. He defeated as many men as there were clouds. Since when did he need to explain or prove anything to anyone? Moreover, they were merely a group of mortals before him!
“No matter what, so what if you’re really Mad Southern Ye, the current most famous person in China?”
Hidemoto Jiro licked his lips and grinned coldly at Ye Chen, “This is Japan, not China. The powerhouses of Japan are nothing China can compare to. I’ve a sudden urge to know how the Chinese dogs will react when they find out that their so-called China No.1 died in Japan!”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted fiercely, “Chiba Izumi, what are you waiting for? Quickly kill this person and capture Chiba Yoshiko. Pay for the crimes your family have caused!”
Chiba Izumi’s face was filled with ruthlessness as he shouted, “Where are the Four Ghosts of Japan?!”
At the next moment, four shadows that were like specters appeared silently behind him. From afar, they looked like his shadows.
The temperature of the entire Chiba residence seemed to drop by tens of degrees. Evil, rotten, and blood filled the air…
“Ghosts?”
Ye Chen’s expression froze slightly. He then shook his head and said, “No, they’re not ghosts. They’re more like soul devourers. This is interesting!”
Ghosts and soul devourers were different!
A ghost was a product of a human’s death. Most of them did not have their consciousness when they were alive. Other than scaring people, they did not have any power.
Although a soul devourer did not have consciousness either, it could devour ghosts, even human souls and flesh. Mortals could not resist it at all.
“The F-Four Ghosts of Japan?”
Seeing the sudden appearance of these four shadows, Chiba Yoshiko seemed to have recalled something frightening. She suddenly looked at Chiba Izumi, “C-Could it be that the rumors in the family a-are true?!”
In her early years, she had unintentionally learned from an old man of the Chiba family that in addition to using all the elites of the family, the previous patriarchs of the family also possessed a mysterious power!
It was this mysterious power that ensured the supremacy of the Chiba family. This mysterious force was the Four Ghosts of Japan. They only accepted the orders of their family head and were extremely mysterious.
She was not the only one. The other members of the Chiba family were shocked as well. It was obvious that they had not expected the family to have such a hidden power.
“Yoshiko, I’ve told you that you knew nothing about the family!”
Meeting Chiba Yoshiko’s gaze, Chiba Izumi grinned coldly, “It’s too late for you to regret now. Just wait to be punished by the family!”
Chiba Yoshiko’s body trembled violently upon hearing this, and she almost lost her balance.
“Brat, I don’t care if you’re Mad Southern Ye or not, but you’re dead for killing so many people from my family today!”
Chiba Izumi glared at Ye Chen. Subsequently, he gave the order, “The Four Ghosts of Japan, kill him. His soul is yours!”
Whoosh…
The four black shadows turned into darkness. They attacked Ye Chen like dark clouds that covered the sky. The black energy rumbled and surged, giving off a terrifying aura.
A black cat happened to pass by and was swept by the darkness.
In the next second, a skeleton appeared on the ground!
Countless people shuddered by instinct, and their faces were filled with shock. They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They felt cold, bone-piercing chilliness, and numbing in their scalps…
“You’re trying to kill me with just four soul devourers?”
Ye Chen scoffed coldly. He lifted his hand and pushed Chiba Yoshiko, who was next to him, far away. Subsequently, he grabbed the air around him. A saber gleam about three meters long consolidated in his palm.
“Break it!”
He slashed at the black energy that was rapidly approaching him. The saber gleam instantly doubled in size. It was like a lightning in the sky that made everyone close their eyes subconsciously.
A three-meter long saber qi cut through the air like a bolt of lightning, slashing at the black energy. However, this saber only managed to cut a hole through the black energy that covered the sky.
On the contrary, the saber qi did not lose its momentum and it was slashed towards where Chiba Izumi and the others were directly. Instantly, screams of pain rang out.
Many members of the Chiba family were sliced into two on the spot by the saber qi. In the end, the door of the villa was sliced into two too.
The opening in the darkness from before closed again.
It was as if it was not harmed at all.
Witnessing that, Hidemoto Jiro who was at the side sneered.
The Japanese were masters of God Dao, whereby they were experts in controlling spirit beings, gods and ghosts. No matter how powerful a flesh and blood warrior was, they were helpless against a spirit body as they were not corporeal. Even if they were scattered, they could regather.
On the contrary, a martial artist’s vital energy and blood was a great supplement for a spirit body. It was no different from a miracle pill.
Chiba Izumi did not seem to notice the people from the family who were killed by Ye Chen’s slash. Instead, he laughed out loud and said, “What the f*ck is the China No.1? You don’t seem like much. It’s a pity that you’re going to die here today!”
“Master!”
Chiba Yoshiko’s expression changed drastically.
She did not expect Ye Chen’s saber attack that was so powerful did no damage to the Four Ghosts of Japan!
“Oh, really?”
Ye Chen’s expression did not change. Instead, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, “I was just worried that the weapon in my hand lacks a weapon spirit. Since you’ve offered it to me yourself, I won’t be shy!”
