751. Instantly Turning into a Blur / 752. How Dare You Step on Me

Damn it, you actually ambushed me! Just you wait—once I recover my strength, I’ll tear you to pieces!

Izayoi gritted his teeth as he spoke, but he regretted it deeply. If he had known that blade was so sharp, he should have used his sword to sever the blade in the man’s hand directly instead of merely resisting so casually.

"Haha, you’re too weak. You’re not even worthy of making me use my blade. You only deserve to be slaughtered by me!"

The masked man mocked loudly, his eyes full of contempt.

"Hmph, then I’ll show you!"

Izayoi snorted coldly, then threw the Azure Rainbow Sword away. At the same time, he kicked off the ground and leaped forward at incredible speed, charging at the masked man and swinging his fist down.

Boom!

His fist collided with the blade.

Izayoi was sent flying three meters by the enormous force and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Kid, how was that? What I said earlier still stands. I already told you that you weren’t my opponent. Are you convinced now?"

The masked man mocked him. He looked at his fist and saw no marks on it, then glanced at Izayoi lying on the ground, his eyes filled with ridicule and disdain.

"Hmph, that’s all?"

Izayoi got to his feet, dusted himself off, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let me tell you, don’t get too smug. Soon, I’ll make you regret it so badly you won’t even know where to cry."

"Hehe, you really won’t give up until you’re facing the coffin! I’ll let you taste my power right now!"

The masked man sneered as he approached Izayoi, raising his blade to split him in half with a single strike.

At that moment, Izayoi turned and fled at top speed. He knew he was no match for this man. The masked man snorted coldly and immediately gave chase.

Instantly Turned into a Shadow
###
Izayoi entered the forest and looked at the masked man relentlessly pursuing him, his expression turning cold. Damn it, this guy just won’t let up. I’m weaker than him. If I want to defeat him, I can only use the terrain!

Soon, the masked man arrived. He hurled throwing knives at Izayoi. Although he was alone, his strength was formidable.

Cold sweat broke out on Izayoi’s forehead. He quickly raised his sword and blocked the throwing knives. The masked man did not continue attacking him.

Instead, he took out a talisman and stuck it onto the sword hilt. The talisman in his hand then ignited, and flames surrounded his entire body, making him look like a fireball.

"Damn it, this move again? I’m not falling for it!"

Izayoi looked at the fireball and immediately sensed danger. He turned and ran, but before he could take more than a few steps, the fireball slammed into him.

Pfft!

Izayoi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. He clutched his chest, his eyes filled with fury.

"That damned bastard actually used the Flame Technique. How despicable!"

He rose from the ground, hatred flashing in his eyes. His hand rested on the sword hilt as he prepared to use his strongest technique to kill that man.

He raised his sword and slashed at the masked man, but the masked man dodged it.

"Hehe, you really are foolish, using a sword against the Flame Technique."

Seeing Izayoi’s reaction, he could not help mocking him.

Izayoi looked at the talisman in the man’s hand. He knew this was the highest realm of the Flame Technique, and he did not dare confront it head-on.

He was still injured. If he forced a clash, he would definitely suffer severe injuries, and then his situation would become dangerous.

He turned around and ran forward.

But after only a few meters, he stepped on a branch.

His steps halted, and he looked back to see a branch by his feet.

Izayoi picked up the branch and poured power into it. Soon, the branch transformed into a vine that bound the masked man.

"Fine then, masked man. Let’s see you taste my power!"

The masked man was unable to move any longer, and Izayoi was about to kill him.

Just then, the masked man broke free of the vines and stabbed a dagger toward Izayoi. Seeing the incoming dagger, Izayoi immediately dodged to the side.

Bang!

The dagger pierced the ground. The masked man used the Flame Technique again, and another ring of fire appeared beneath his feet.

"Hahaha, how about that? You’ve already fallen into my hands, and you still want to run? Do you think those little tricks can kill me? How childish!"

The masked man looked at Izayoi smugly.

Izayoi frowned. This guy really was not simple!

Izayoi summoned vines again. This time, countless vines coiled around the masked man. Seeing the vines attacking him, the masked man hurriedly tried to evade them.

No matter how he dodged, he could not escape the vines. More and more vines wrapped around him until, finally, they bound the masked man completely.

Izayoi let out a breath. This guy really was powerful.

Izayoi walked up to the masked man, held a dagger to his throat, and said, "Stop wasting your strength. You can’t escape. Surrender obediently!"

"Hmph, I won’t surrender even if I die!" The masked man refused to yield even in death.

Hearing that, Izayoi killed him with his sword and took all the treasures on his body.

How Dare You Step on Me
###
A gust of wind cut through the air, and a young man in white appeared before Izayoi. His face was full of greed. "Kid, you must have plenty of treasures on you. Hand them all over now!"

The young man in white threatened him with the sword in his hand.

Izayoi drew his sword and pointed it at the young man in white.

The young man in white froze. "You actually dare point a sword at me? Are you courting death?"

His body instantly turned into a shadow and appeared before Izayoi. The sword in his hand stabbed straight at Izayoi, its tip aimed directly at his brow.

Izayoi’s figure flickered as he dodged the young man’s sword. At the same time, he swung his right fist, blazing flames wrapped around it as it struck the young man in white squarely in the chest and blasted him backward.

Although the young man in white was sent flying, there was no panic on his face. Instead, it was filled with intense excitement.

"Hahaha, good kid! You actually dare fight back. You really have courage. Since you came to me yourself, I’ll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, the young man in white vanished again. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away. Izayoi’s expression turned grave.

This young man in white was far stronger than the black-clothed man from before.

"Hehehe~~ Kid, you should give up now, right? I’m going to capture you and torture you slowly, until you can neither live nor die." The young man in white grinned viciously.

"Hmph, I’d like to see how you plan to capture me!" Izayoi sneered, also turning into an afterimage as he charged at his opponent.

Izayoi was extremely fast, arriving in an instant.

Seeing this, the young man in white sneered. The sword in his hand drew a cold arc as it slashed straight at Izayoi.

Screech! Sword qi tore through the air with a piercing whistle.

Wherever the sword qi passed, even the air itself seemed to split apart, displaying its terrifying power.

Seeing the sword qi coming at him, Izayoi’s expression grew serious, his eyes fixed upon it.

The sword qi tore through the air, growing larger and larger in Izayoi’s vision. In the blink of an eye, it was about to reach him.

What kind of move is this? So fast? Izayoi widened his eyes.

Before Izayoi’s astonished gaze, the sword qi suddenly accelerated, arriving in an instant.

Pfft!

The Sword Qi Slash struck Izayoi’s left arm, leaving behind a bloody wound so deep the bone was visible. Blood immediately gushed out.

Izayoi groaned and retreated rapidly, backing away several yards. His face was full of pain.

Seeing Izayoi injured, the young man in white became even more savage. "Kid, this is my power. This is only the beginning. Soon, you’ll understand just how terrifying I am. You’d better not die!"

Izayoi clutched his injured arm and looked at the young man in white with a cold smile. "An attack at this level still can’t do anything to me!"

Izayoi’s body suddenly surged forward, charging straight at the young man in white. The sword in his hand descended with fierce sword intent and smashed into the young man’s shoulder, knocking him to the ground.

Izayoi landed on the ground and stepped on the young man in white’s back, forcing him face-down. His body shook violently as he wailed continuously, as if enduring immense pain.

"Hmph, kid, you should give up now!" the young man in white roared.

Izayoi ignored him, kicking the young man in white away before continuing to stomp on him.

Soon, the young man in white was covered in blood. He was clearly injured, and not lightly.

Turned into a Massive Fist Shadow
###
Seeing Izayoi dare to step on him, the young man in white’s face filled with rage. "You little bastard, my father won’t let you off! His strength is extremely powerful!"

Hearing this, several traces of ridicule appeared on Izayoi’s face. "Oh? I really don’t know when I offended him. Does your family have some kind of rule or something?"

The young man in white’s expression stiffened. He had only been focused on teaching Izayoi a lesson and had forgotten about that. Still, he did not stop, instead continuing to threaten Izayoi.

"You little bastard, get on your knees and apologize to me right now. I can consider sparing your life. Otherwise, once my father returns, you’re dead for sure. Aren’t you very arrogant? Then keep being arrogant!"

Hearing this, Izayoi curled his lips into a cold smile. This guy truly had no brain. Did he think Izayoi was afraid of some damn family? It was only a family.

And a small one at that. Izayoi could destroy them with the flick of a finger. Yet this young man in white actually tried to use the power behind him to threaten Izayoi. He was simply courting death.

"Hehe, who are you? Why should I kneel to you?" Izayoi sneered.

"You!" The young man in white nearly fainted from rage. "Kid, you’re courting death!"

Izayoi was dismissive. "Courting death? I’d like to see who exactly is courting death."

As Izayoi’s words fell, his palm shot out and instantly transformed into a huge hand that slammed fiercely onto the ground.

The young man in white hurriedly broke free, and the two resumed fighting. He only hoped to deal with Izayoi as quickly as possible, lest more trouble arise.

Boom!

A muffled blast rang out, and the entire ground trembled. The young man in white’s face turned extremely pale. He had clearly been injured by Izayoi’s strike.

"You bastard, I’ll kill you! I’ll definitely kill you!" the young man in white cursed madly.

However, Izayoi turned a deaf ear to his shouting. His eyes stared at the young man in white like a hawk, making the latter feel uneasy.

Izayoi swung his sword and charged toward the young man in white. Sword qi immediately crisscrossed through the air, enveloping him. The rampant sword qi made it impossible for the young man in white to approach, leaving him no choice but to dodge in place.

Boom! Another muffled blast rang out. The sword qi struck the young man in white’s body, sending him flying and crashing onto the ground.

Izayoi took one step forward and appeared beside the young man in white. He extended his right leg and stepped on his chest, twisting the young man’s face in pain as his eyes filled with resentment.

"You little bastard, just wait. Once my father comes back, I definitely won’t forgive you!" the young man in white said through gritted teeth as he stared at Izayoi.

"Hehe, you won’t forgive me? Fine!" Izayoi sneered.

Looking at Izayoi before him, the young man in white’s eyes flickered, as if he were considering some plan, but in the end, he could not take any action.

"Your White Family should count as a first-rate family in the outer region. Is this all you can do? If you have any other tricks, use them all. Stop hiding them." Izayoi sneered.

Then Izayoi took a step forward and killed the young man in white.

At that moment, an old man in gray robes appeared, his face full of rage. "Damn brat, you killed my son! You’re courting death!"

A powerful aura erupted from his body.

A Fierce Battle with the Old Man
###
Soon, the gray-robed old man wielded the sword in his hand, as earth-shaking energy continuously exploded around his body. "Heaven and Earth Tremble!" As the gray-robed old man shouted, a violent aura surged from his sword. The auras gathered together and formed a massive fist shadow that smashed fiercely toward Izayoi.

Izayoi raised an eyebrow. Watching the fist come at him, he was slightly startled. This gray-robed old man’s strength was truly not low!

Rumble!

At that moment, a fierce wind suddenly rose beneath his feet. Izayoi kicked off the ground with both legs, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distant forest, and the gray-robed old man’s fist struck empty air.

The gray-robed old man’s expression changed. He knew that he had used his full strength in that attack, yet he had not expected this kid to dodge it so easily.
