The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary

Chapter 263 Yamazaki



Chapter 263: Yamazaki

Jin’s katana smashed with Ong’s steel bar mace, but it was a mere distraction for Yamazaki to strike at Jin with his katana too . “Huh!! You think you can beat Bishamonten’s Katana Art of Fighting? Do not make me laugh, Faker!” Yamazaki’s attack connected with Ong’s bar mace attack and slashed at Jin .

Fortunately, Jin’s spirit watch turned into the moveable living armour, and it blocked the attack from being fatal but the attack was strong enough for him to feel that there was a crack in his left ulna bone . Jin gritted his teeth in pain as he summoned a spike of white ice from his forearm and aimed it at Yamazaki .

However, instead of dodging, Yamazaki released his aura and a silhouette of Bishamonten with eight orange spiritual orbs floating right around the silhouette . He struck back at the ice spike but it gave Jin some space to back off from the two triad leaders .

Ong revealed his cultivation as the Seventh Grade Ruby Rat Cultivation, but Jin felt that his seventh grade powers were a notch higher than Ong’s despite the fact that Jin just entered the realm of Seventh Grade not too long ago . According to previous conversations with Ming, whenever Jin cultivated, the spiritual union of the multiple pandas had deepened the depth of his cultivation grade .

Ming revealed that Jin’s cultivation strength level would always be at least half a grade better than the current grade that he was in . For example, if he was a Grade 7 on paper, his strength would reflect a Grade 7 Peak . Initially, Jin was sceptical when the System said he was a Grade 7 because of what Ming had said . He thought that when the System was measuring his strength and he would just be at Grade 6 Peak . Yet, when he summoned his cultivation out, it was there seven lazy pandas rolling around above his head .

“So, what Ming said was really true after all . ” The results of him being a Grade 7 did not sink in until he fought against Ong and Yamazaki .

However, Jin felt that he had underestimated his enemies this time around as Yamazaki was definitely stronger than him . In Japan, the Seven Fortune Gods (Shichi Fukujin) Clans were the ones that ruled the country, similar to how the Twelve Royal Zodiac Clans ruled China . From the way Yamazaki fought and shown his cultivation had proven that he was from the Bishamonten Clan . One of the fiercest, if not the strongest in terms of fighting power in Japan .

Resembling the Royal Zodiac clans having the Triads to do their dirty work and to earn more money, the Seven Fortune Gods Clans had the Yakuza to control the people if necessary . Bishamonten Clan was no doubt the most robust Yakuza family in Japan, and people learnt to fear yet respect their authority at the same time .


When Yamazaki portrayed his Bishamonten with eight orbs floating around him, Jin knew that each orb was equivalent to one cultivation grade hence Yamazaki was a Grade Eight Bishamonten cultivator in Jin’s eyes .

When Jin stepped back to distance himself from Yamazaki, Ong’s cultivation flared up, and in a blink of an eye, Jin realised Ong disappeared right in front of his face . “Ruby Rat Style, Hidden Ambush of the Rat!” Ong shouted as his figure emerged from behind Jin and decided to smash Jin with his bar mace .

“No, you don’t . ” Ong suddenly felt a forceful impact on his face, and he was sent flying into the ashes of the restaurant .

“Ooooh, a flying Kick combined with a long jump . Must be rather painful especially on the face . I wonder if he would be disfigured from that . ” Peppers took out a bag of chips and started munching on it . She later offered it to Kraft, and he wasn’t courteous with the amount he took at one go .

“Kraft!” Peppers pouted .

“You didn’t have your breakfast . I am helping your body . ” Kraft held a handful of chips and started eating one by one .

“I shall clean up the remnants . ” Zeru ignored the two of them and started working by free falling from the roof to the streets .


“Milk?!” Jin was surprised at Milk’s new battle outfit . She had a black hard knuckles gauntlets, and her knees and elbows were padded with armour . Her outfit was still similar to the priest outfit but sexier and more revealing- Wait, Jin meant ease of movement .

“I’ll take this one . You can handle Mr Japanese over there . ” Milk winked at Jin, and he sighed .

“Well, at least it’s better than two versus one . Okay, Mr Japanese it is then . ” Jin charged forward and attacked Yamazaki, and without a doubt, Yamazaki parried his attack but the Perfectly Normal Parry Slash activated, and Jin finally managed to inflict a cut wound on Yamazaki after the prolonged fight .

“It looks like without Ong, you are nothing but a support cultivator with big muscles . ” Jin sneered at Yamazaki which caused him to rage and release his chi without any suppression . The chi was strong enough that it killed off the remaining flames that were still burning in the restaurant .

“YOU will taste the wrath of Bishamonten himself!” Yamazaki’s eyes turned blood red as his muscles showed veins protruding out as if it was waiting to burst . Disciples of Bishamonten Clan will always learn a distinctive trait of Bishamonten when they reached a specific grade . Usually, from Grade 6 onwards, these disciples will have to master this ordinary, yet unique skill only to the Clan of Bishamonten called Inner Rage . By releasing the inner reserves of chi in oneself, it would excite one’s chi points to give a person an increase in strength and attack power . The only downside is that there is a time limit to it, but Yamazaki reckoned he could kill off Jin in that amount of time .

Yamazaki locked swords with Jin once again, but this time he used his empty hand to punch Jin at the side . As Jin was caught off guard by it, Yamazaki twisted his sword and prepared to perform forward pierce attack .

“Advanced Katana Art! Bishamonten Pierces the Skies!” Yamazaki shouted at the top of his voice .

Jin’s entire body suddenly trembled as if it knew that he would be in trouble if he were not able to stop Yamazaki’s attack . “White Panda Ice!” Jin thought to himself as he tried to create a concentrated block of ice on his entire left hand and used it to block the pierce .


“It is USELESS!” Yamazaki grinned widely as he thought to himself when he saw Jin’s hand was being formed with the ice . Yamazaki’s katana indeed went through Jin’s forearms and even the ice, causing him to feel pain pulsating through his entire body . One of the living armour managed to reach Jin’s heart on time, but the tip of the katana broke it into many pieces .

“Fuck . ” Jin closed his eyes and opened his mouth to scream . . . a blast of black and white beam out . With Yamazaki’s sword locked into Jin’s ice and hand, Yamazaki either has to withstand the complete blast of Panda Yawning or let go of his katana but still received some of the damage due to his proximity with Jin .

Nevertheless, Yamazaki chose the former because of pride, and that was his downfall . He tolerated the blast beam of the black and white chi energy, but he did not know that it was not over . Jin took the chance for the White Panda Ice to spread onto the katana and ultimately to his hands .

With Yamazaki being locked in place, Jin now unleashed his Black Panda Fire specifically only on Yamazaki’s head as Jin continued to spread the ice through Yamazaki’s torso and his legs . Yamazaki tried to struggle, but the Inner Rage caused him to be vulnerable to attacks .

“ARRGGGGGHHHH” Yamazaki cried out in pain as his head was burning, unable to breathe and he felt he was being pinned down by the ice .

“I am not stopping just yet . I do not know how to pierce the skies, but I know how to pierce you . ” Jin took the opportunity for the Panda White Ice to permeate through the skin .

“YAMAZAKI!” Ong realised what was happening, but Milk’s repeating offensive blows fully occupied him . Ruby Rat Style is well known for manoeuvres, but the constant assault left Ong busy defending himself . “You Rat, where else should you be looking . ” Milk gave three successive blows to his chest the moment he was distracted, and it caused Ong to spit blood out .

It was apparent that the blows caused Ong’s chest muscle and bones to be indented and Milk did the favour of breaking it by first sending a roundhouse kick to the head, causing Ong to be concussed and followed by a turning kick to the same place she delivered her triple blows .


As if it was premeditated, the sternum bone cracked in a way that a piece of it flew into the heart because of the impact, causing Ong to bleed internally and die from it .

“Are you going to admit defeat and leave Lynn Arisato’s family alone?!” Jin shouted at the burning head of Yamazaki, and he nodded in advance . Jin let go of the Yamazaki, and he was left standing because of the ice that froze his legs upright . The black fire subsided, and Yamazaki was able to breathe although the skin on his face were all burnt .

“What assurances can I have?” Jin placed his katana at Yamazaki’s neck, even pushing till it bleeds slightly .

“If you kill me . HAHAHAHHAHAHHA!” Yamazaki laughed loudly which pissed Jin off .

“If you kill me, the Bishamonten Clan will come after you for sure . If you do not kill me, the Bishamonten clan and I WILL COME FOR YOU . We do not forget our debts . ” Yamazaki shouted at Jin at the top of his voice . Jin was at the edge of killing him, but that was when Kraft materialised right in front of him .

“Don’t worry . Leave this to me . You did well for now . ” Kraft smiled at Jin as this was the first time Jin saw Kraft’s rugged and hardy expression on his face . Kraft suddenly disappeared and Yamazaki who was laughing unexpectedly stopped as if he had a brain dead gaze in his eyes .

At the same time . Milk helped Jin out from the White Panda Ice that he was stuck with Yamazaki . She even slowly pulled the katana out of his left hand and began chanting healing spells on it . “My particular outfit lowers my healing capability so just bear with the pain . ” Milk said after she finished the incantation of an intermediate healing spell .

In the meantime, when all these were unfolding, Jin suddenly heard multiple police sirens in the background .
