Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 573: Chiba Yoshiko’s Despair!

As Chiba Masawa finished his sentence, the surface of the sea in the distance was split open by a three-meter-long sword gleam, and countless waves were sent flying. A black shadow stepped on the waves and charged out of the white fog.

It was a middle-aged man in a black samurai outfit!

Whoosh!

The middle-aged man landed next to Chiba Masawa and looked at Miyamoto Take expressionlessly. The Japanese sword in his hand returned to its scabbard as if it had a mind of its own.

“Yagyu Takeken!!!

You even got the Yagyu family member to fight us!”

Chiba Yoshiko and Miyamoto Take’s expressions changed simultaneously!

He turned to look at the middle-aged man in awe!

Yagyu Takeken!

The man from the Yagyu family of Japan!

It was an extremely ancient family. Their status in Japan was even more ancient and noble than the Chiba family!

The reason being the Yagyu family had produced three Sword Saints. Meanwhile, throughout the history of the Japanese Sword Dao, there were only six Sword Saints who were produced.

The first was Tsukahara Bokuden. He was a true Sword Saint born during the Warring States period in Japan. He created his own sword and was known to be undefeated.

The second person was his disciple – Kamiizumi Nobutsuna!

Compared to his master, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was even more outstanding. At a young age, he founded the Shinkage School of Sword Dao and was bestowed the title of ‘No.1 Under Heaven’ by the shogunate of his time!

The third one was Yagyu Munetoshi!

He was the first Sword Saint of the Yagyu family. He was once defeated by Kamiizumi Nobutsuna’s disciple, Hikita Bungoro. Thus, he joined Kamiizumi Nobutsuna’s school. Soon after, he comprehended the secret of the ‘No Knife Taking’ technique and inherited the Shinkage School.

Yagyu Munetoshi had extraordinary talent. He had comprehended a new sword style from the Shinkage School. In order to distinguish it from the Shinkage School, he called it the Yagyu Shinkage School!

The fourth one was Miyamoto Musashi!

Miyamoto Musashi was also born in Japan during the Warring States Period, in the Edo period. At a young age, he had created his own Niten Ichi-ryu. Rumor had it that at the age of 13, he had defeated Arima Kihei of Shinto-ryu. At the age of 16, he defeated the Sword Dao cultivator Akiyama, who was known as the ‘Unyielding Force’ from Tajima Province. At the age of 21, Miyamoto Musashi had gone to the capital to defeat the Japanese Sword Dao master.

Meanwhile, the fifth one was Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi!

Compared to the previous few, Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi could be said to have the strongest swordsmanship in the history of Japan. He created the ‘Killing God with One Slash’ and ‘Snow of the World’. Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi and his grandfather Yagyu Munetoshi, his father Yagyu Munenori were known as ‘Three Heavenly Dogs of Yagyu’!

The sixth one was Yagyu Aida!

He was the only Sword Saint that was still alive in Japan. He was the creator of Sword Heart, Sword Soul and Sword Gut. He was the only person who had comprehended the Sword Heart, Sword Soul and Sword Gut since Sword Dao was created in Japan!

Throughout the history of Japan, there were only six Sword Saints, and the Yagyu family had three. Judging by that, one could tell that this ancient family’s status and background in Japan was enough to make countless people look up to them!

Therefore, when Yagyu Takeken appeared, Chiba Yoshiko’s expression changed drastically!

Although Yagyu Takeken was not a Sword Saint, he was the most outstanding descendant of the Yagyu family. He had received Yagyu Aida’s guidance and was considered the closest candidate of Sword Saint in Japan.

Even Miyamoto Take would pale in comparison to him!

“Miyamoto-san, your ancestor, Miyamoto Musashi, is known as the Sword Saint. You can be considered to have inherited the family’s knowledge. I can’t believe that you’re willing to be someone else’s slave!”

Yagyu Takeken held his sword and said disappointedly, “Your actions are an insult to the Japanese Sword Dao. Today, I shall clean up the mess on behalf of the Japanese!”

“Ms. Chiba!

It seems like the both of us got ourselves into the eye of death today!”

Miyamoto Take sighed softly. His gaze swept through Chiba Masawa and the over ten Chiba family’s ninjas.

He did not expect the Chiba family to create such a huge commotion in order to capture them. The over ten heaven-class ninjas from the Chiba family alone was not something he could deal with, let alone Yagyu Takeken!

Under such a tight encirclement, unless he broke through and became a Sword Saint, he would not be able to defend himself at all. However, it was difficult to break through to become a Sword Saint!

Despair filled Chiba Yoshiko’s face!

At this point, Ye Chen had yet to appear. Even if he did, he would have to retreat when facing Yagyu Takeken and the Chiba family’s ninjas. How could he save her?

“My dear sister, do you know what despair is now?”

Chiba Masawa laughed loudly and said, “Let’s go. Be a good girl and go back to my family with me. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. And for you, Master Miyamoto, if you’re willing to submit to my Chiba family, I might spare your worthless life!”

“Hahahaha!”

Miyamoto Take suddenly burst out laughing hearing what he said, “Chiba Masawa, even that old thing Chiba Izumi wouldn’t dare to say this to me, let alone you!

The history of your Chiba family is only a little over a hundred years old. The only reason you rose to power was because you were buttering up your family members. On the other hand, my Miyamoto family has more than 500 of history. When my ancestor, Miyamoto Musashi, led the entire Japan, your Chiba family was just a lowly peasant!”

“Does that mean you’re seeking death?” Chiba Masawa grinned coldly.

“What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death?”

Miyamoto Take took a deep breath in and said, “For a qualified swordsman, from the moment he stepped out with his sword, he no longer cared about life and death, but conquering the world!”

At this point, he fixed his gaze on Yagyu Takeken, “Show your sword, Yagyu Takeken. Everyone in the world has placed my ancestor, Miyamoto Musashi behind the three Sword Saints of your Yagyu family. Everyone says that my Miyamoto family’s laido slash can’t compare to your family’s Killing God with One Slash!

I would like to witness that today!”

“Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

Yagyu Takeken’s expression froze. Subsequently, he bowed deeply to Miyamoto Take. This was the most formal etiquette between swordsmen!

Both of them drew their swords at the next moment!

Waves of water surged, cold gleams swept through the air, and clouds and rain scattered!

Miyamoto Take took a few steps back and his hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. If one looked carefully, they would see traces of blood slowly dripping down the sword hilt onto the deck. It was a ghastly sight!

“You’ve lost!”

Yagyu Takeken slowly retracted his sword!

That was how it was when powerhouses fought. There was no battle that would go on for 300 rounds, nor would there be any flashes of gleams or sword shadows. There was only the most powerful attack from each other.

“Yeah, I lost!”

Miyamoto Take slowly closed his eyes with a bitter expression on his face. Subsequently, he slowly raised his hand. The sword in his hand was glaring. The tip of the sword was pointed straight at his abdomen!

“N-No, Master Miyamoto!”

Chiba Yoshiko bursted into tears!

It was very rare for swordsmen to fight to death on the spot, but the outcome was very cruel. It was because anyone who lost had to kill themselves in order to protect the dignity of swordsmanship!

Right at this moment, a loud thunder suddenly echoed in the sky, and it caused the entire ocean to seem as if it was trembling a few times.

At the next moment, countless substantive white fog swept over from afar. The white fog filled the sky, as if the seawater was boiling. At the same time, waves were surging crazily.

Chiba Masawa was shocked, “What’s happening?”

“There’s someone in the distance!”

Yagyu Takeken’s gaze was fixed at the end of the sea.

Everyone followed his gaze.

A thin figure was charging toward them riding on the massive waves...
