801. A Little / 802. What a Spectacle

Izayoi’s longsword actually stopped against the black-clad man’s sword tip. The man’s face changed drastically, and he inwardly cried that things were bad. He hurriedly withdrew his sword and prepared to dodge, but how could Izayoi let him go?

The longsword in his hand swung fiercely, and sharp streams of sword energy struck the black-clad man directly.

They sent him flying, and he crashed heavily to the ground. He struggled to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with fear. He had never expected Izayoi to be so powerful.

"Haha, brat, you’re dead! You’re dead!"

Seeing this, Izayoi laughed. "Hahaha! Did you think you were incredibly strong and could contend with me? Let me tell you, in front of me, your strength is trash!"

After saying that, Izayoi stomped the ground and shot into the air. His longsword swung violently, sending countless streams of sword energy at the black-clad man.

Pfft.

Blood continuously sprayed from the black-clad man’s chest. He glared at Izayoi, his eyes darting as his mind frantically searched for a way to resolve the crisis before him.

Just then, an idea surfaced in his mind. He remembered that he had a pitch-black pill. This pill was called the Black Black Pill. Though its name was ordinary, its effects were formidable.

It could be considered one of the few pills in his possession worth using. Under normal circumstances, he would never use such a pill, but at this life-or-death juncture, he had no choice.

He tossed the pill high into the air, then leaped up and shoved it into his mouth. Very quickly, he felt its wild medicinal power.

A Little Bit

After swallowing the pill, the black-clad man’s strength surged, as did his confidence. He thought, Great! This time, I’ll definitely kill Izayoi!

He looked toward Izayoi, his eyes now filled with killing intent. Izayoi looked at the black-clad man before him and mocked, "That lousy pill of yours did raise your strength a little, but the increase is tiny. You’re still no match for me."

The black-clad man flew into a rage and charged at him. Yet with a light flick of Izayoi’s sword, he was sent flying.

The black-clad man was utterly horrified. He had never imagined that even after taking his precious pill, he would still be no match for Izayoi.

He pointed at Izayoi, trembling constantly. "Damn it! You brat are actually this strong, but I’ll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, a layer of blood-red aura appeared around the black-clad man. His speed seemed to increase abruptly, making him look extremely strange.

However, this was nothing to Izayoi. He lightly raised his longsword. "Raging Tornado!"

A tornado formed at his summons and swept toward the black-clad man. Izayoi flashed forward and joined the battle as well.

The black-clad man looked at Izayoi before him. He knew this brat was far stronger than he had imagined. No matter what, he could not let him leave alive.

With that thought, the black-clad man stopped hiding his strength. He unleashed all his strongest attacks and charged at Izayoi.

Seeing the black-clad man attack so madly, Izayoi did not dare let down his guard. He wielded the sword in his hand so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Then he poured the fighting energy within him into it. With every swing, a powerful current of air enveloped them, and Izayoi became increasingly unfathomable.

At that moment, a loud boom echoed through the space. Izayoi and the black-clad man collided, crashing into each other.

They rolled about continuously. This time, bright red blood spilled from the corner of the black-clad man’s mouth, and his face was frighteningly pale.

The black-clad man’s gaze was full of disbelief. How is this possible? I actually lost?

Izayoi sneered. "You did lose, and you’re going to die too. Do you feel humiliated? Resentful?"

"Hmph, don’t get too cocky! In a moment, I’ll tear you to pieces!" the black-clad man roared angrily.

A layer of black airflow appeared around the black-clad man’s body. Then, a massive Black Dragon shot out from within him and lunged toward Izayoi.

"Hehe, so this is your trump card. Not bad, not bad!" Izayoi sneered at the black-clad man.

He lightly raised his longsword, and a powerful current of air surged out, shattering the Black Dragon. It vanished, leaving only Izayoi standing there.

"How is this possible? Why do you possess such power?" The black-clad man was filled with terror. He simply could not understand how such a powerful martial art could exist in this world.

"Hehe, you can’t even imagine my martial arts." Izayoi looked coldly at the black-clad man.

"Hmph, then let me see just how powerful you are!" the black-clad man shouted. Black airflow once again emerged around him, growing denser and denser.

"Not bad! Looks like I really underestimated you!" Izayoi praised.

His speed suddenly increased, and his longsword pierced through the black-clad man’s body. The man’s body turned cold, and he completely lost all breath. At that moment, Izayoi found a note.

Imposing Indeed

A small map was drawn on the note. Although it was extremely crude, Izayoi was exceptionally clever and saw the location it indicated at a glance. He soon arrived there. There was a small house, and Izayoi found it somewhat strange. An ominous aura seemed to be coming from inside. However, he was not afraid and entered directly.

Suddenly, a burly man emerged from the small house, startling Izayoi, who had just entered.

"Brat, you discovered our secret. Die!"

The burly man swung his fist at Izayoi. Every punch carried a fierce gust of force; this man’s strength was clearly far from ordinary.

Izayoi furrowed his brows. He had not expected to have to fight again, but after thinking it over, he accepted it. Perhaps this was his fate.

With that thought, he met the burly man’s fist with one of his own. He did not use any special technique in this punch; it was merely a pure punch, yet it carried an extremely domineering aura.

Izayoi’s punch struck the burly man’s arm, but both his fists were also knocked back by the recoil.

Izayoi glanced at the burly man. Although he had not gained the upper hand, he was still very pleased. At least he now knew the burly man’s strength. If he continued tangling with him, he would likely be the one to suffer in the end.

"Hehe, brat, you’re the first person who dared to fight me. You really have admirable courage."

As he spoke, the burly man charged at Izayoi again.

Izayoi was greatly alarmed. He knew how formidable this burly man was. If he did not evade, he would definitely suffer badly. So he quickly moved his feet, trying to find an opening to attack.

However, as if he had anticipated Izayoi’s movements, the burly man continued swinging his fists. For a moment, Izayoi had nowhere to dodge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The burly man’s fists continuously slammed into Izayoi’s body, leaving Izayoi unable to complain despite his suffering.

Izayoi had no choice but to use both hands to block his fists.

"Hahaha, brat, I never expected your defense to be so poor. Looks like you have no way to compete with me. You should just give up!"

Izayoi gritted his teeth and resisted the burly man’s attacks with all his strength.

He knew that if he lost this time, he would likely die here. How could he accept that? So he increased his speed.

The burly man was also fast, and he too increased his speed.

Both men erupted with powerful auras, each resisting the other with all their might.

The distance between them grew closer and closer. Izayoi knew that his physique was indeed much weaker than his opponent’s. He had to find a suitable opportunity.

He stared at the burly man before him, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Brat, where are you looking?"

Izayoi froze, then hurriedly turned around and looked behind him. The burly man was staring right at him.

Seeing him turn around, the burly man smiled as well. A ferocious expression appeared on his face as he charged at Izayoi.

"Hmph, brat, let me show you what I can do!"

The burly man spoke as he rushed toward Izayoi, his fist swinging down at him.

But his attack did not miss. His fist struck the wall and punched straight through it.

"What terrifying strength!" Izayoi frowned and sighed.

Fragrant and Rich

The burly man looked at Izayoi’s thin frame and proudly raised his head. Carrying a sword, he looked exceptionally imposing and naturally looked down on Izayoi. "Brat, with your little bit of strength, you want to kill me? Wishful thinking!"

The veins on Izayoi’s face bulged as his anger reached its peak. He desperately activated his power, wanting to fight the burly man to the death.

A sword appeared in Izayoi’s hand. Pointing it at the burly man, he said, "Today, I’ll kill you with my sword. Your life is mine!"

The burly man’s eyes were filled with contempt. He snorted coldly. "Brat, aren’t you too arrogant? With strength like yours, you dare declare war on me? I really don’t know where you got such courage!"

After saying that, the burly man prepared to strike. His sword was already held against Izayoi’s neck. With the slightest movement, he could take Izayoi’s life. But at that moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Izayoi’s body.

That aura instantly forced the burly man back several steps. He stared at Izayoi in shock. How could he possess such a powerful aura?

"How… how is this possible? His strength is clearly nothing special. How could he possess such a powerful aura?"

The burly man was greatly astonished, yet he was not afraid in the slightest.

Izayoi sneered. "This is my secret! Now, your time to die has come!"

The burly man looked at Izayoi with disdain in his eyes. "Brat, you should obediently admit defeat. Otherwise, you will definitely die!"

"Hahaha… you idiot! Do you know that saying such things in front of me is simply courting death?"

With that, Izayoi’s figure instantly vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared behind the burly man.

"Tricks!" The burly man snorted, and a shield appeared behind him, blocking Izayoi’s thrusting sword.

Izayoi looked at the shield’s defensive power and could not help but praise it inwardly. What hard defense. Although his attack had not pierced the shield, his speed was extremely fast. He thrust at the shield again and again.

Clang, clang, clang…

The sound of metal colliding rang out from the shield.

Izayoi looked at the shield and knew he had no way to injure the burly man. His goal was not to kill him, but to stall for time and wait for someone else to come to his rescue.

So Izayoi attacked the shield while dragging out the fight.

Watching Izayoi attack the shield move after move, the burly man began to feel humiliated and enraged.

This brat was too arrogant. He kept attacking the shield without stopping. He was insulting his intelligence. This brat was definitely toying with him.

So the burly man immediately used sword energy to attack Izayoi, but Izayoi had already guarded against it and dodged behind the shield.

This action thoroughly enraged the burly man.

"Brat, I’m going to kill you!"

The burly man roared. The longsword in his hand instantly swung through a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree arc. His attack power was extremely high; that sweeping sword energy was enough to cut down a large tree.

But at that moment, Izayoi’s speed suddenly slowed, and he slashed the burly man’s arm. He mocked, "You’re nothing special either!"

A trace of anger appeared on the burly man’s face. Power as mighty as a volcano erupted from him and continuously struck Izayoi’s body.

Izayoi’s body endured the attacks. His arms, thighs, calves, and other places were slashed repeatedly, blood flowing out.

Aren’t You So Arrogant?

Izayoi sensed that things were going badly. He hid behind a rock and swallowed a golden pill. The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, fragrant and rich. After entering his body, his strength surged.

Izayoi’s sword shone like a pearl. He looked at the burly man and mocked, "Now that I’ve become stronger, take this!" Sword light flowed over the blade in his hand as he thrust at the burly man.

The burly man snorted coldly and swung his longsword, colliding with Izayoi’s sword with a series of clanging sounds.

"Brat, you’re still far from good enough. Kneel before me," the burly man said arrogantly, his eyes full of contempt.

The sword in his hand danced constantly, like a giant dragon soaring through the sky. Carrying tyrannical power and momentum, it bore down on Izayoi, forcing him to retreat again and again beneath the pressure.

Izayoi narrowed his eyes. He knew he still needed to increase his power. His body suddenly shot upward.

His speed became faster and faster, his aura growing more intense. The sword light shone ever brighter, the tip aimed directly at the burly man like a sharp blade stabbing toward him.

Both Izayoi and the burly man were incredibly fast, but neither gained the upper hand. Then, with a bang—

The two returned to where they had started. Izayoi stood there pale-faced and panting, while the burly man’s face remained rosy, as though he had not been harmed in the slightest.

Izayoi launched a Whiplash Kick at the burly man. The burly man rolled sideways, avoiding Izayoi’s attack while counterattacking.

Izayoi dodged the burly man’s attack again. A sense of frustration rose in his heart, but he did not give up. Instead, he charged at the burly man again and counterattacked with a Whiplash Kick.

The burly man dodged Izayoi’s attack and punched toward Izayoi’s abdomen. Izayoi could not evade in time and was struck in the stomach. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his whole body was sent flying backward.

Izayoi fell to the ground, but he was not dead. His eyes were wide as he stared at the burly man and cursed through gritted teeth, "You bastard! I’ll kill you!"

After saying that, Izayoi sprang up from the ground and lunged at the burly man, his longsword slashing straight at the man’s head.

The burly man hurriedly dodged, but Izayoi’s reactions were extremely agile and his speed was even faster. He instantly blocked the burly man’s path, then swung his sword at him again.

But this time, he did not hit him. Instead, the burly man flicked him into the air with his sword. His body spun through the air and landed in the grass…

As soon as Izayoi landed, he sprang back up. He looked at the burly man with a savage expression. "You bastard! I’ll definitely slaughter you!"

"You still want to kill me like this?" the burly man said disdainfully.
