Almighty Genius

Chapter 2115 - 1609: War Begins!

The second update, requesting subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~~...

Such a lineup is indeed quite dazzling, almost beyond the capabilities of general sects that have been around for hundreds of years...

It's like in Dragon Country, the strength of the Tianchi Sect is already very strong, but it may not be able to present such a dazzling lineup... Qin Fang estimates that only a Thousand-Year Sect like the Tang Sect could produce such an array.

Of course, although the Tang Sect is a Thousand-Year Sect, compared to those other Thousand-Year Sects, it seems very weak, not on the same level at all, at most it's only on par with Japan's Six Great Holy Lands.

"It's a pity, Hattori Hisanari didn't come out with them..."

Qin Fang scanned through the identities of each expert, but also had to mutter in frustration.

Originally, he planned to kill Hattori Hisanari to clear an obstacle for Qin Zi's ascension, but unexpectedly this person didn't come out with Hattori Ryuuichi, which made Qin Fang slightly disappointed.

"Makes sense! Hattori Hisanari is not only part of the Iga School, he is also a descendant of the Asama Shrine... At such a critical moment, he wouldn't reveal himself easily!"

But Qin Fang quickly figured it out. Hattori Hisanari's identity is too special. With his dual identities, he absolutely wouldn't take the risk at such a crucial time. There are probably no less than a hundred people wanting to kill him now.

Not to mention, apart from the Asama Shrine, the other five Great Holy Lands are all eager to eliminate Hattori Hisanari... His chances of winning are too high after all.

Apart from the Five Great Holy Lands, there are some other terrifyingly powerful families also hoping to eliminate Hattori Hisanari. They all sent excellent disciples to participate in this Priest Trial too, such as the Yagyu family, Mutō Family, etc...

"It's just as well. Without Hattori Hisanari, there's one less troublesome opponent!"

Hattori Hisanari became the target of everyone simply because his strength is so formidable, stronger than other trialists, seriously threatening others' chances of advancing, naturally earning their hatred.

In the Priest Trial, Qin Zi had crossed paths with Hattori Hisanari. This man may be young, but his cultivation and cunning are extremely terrifying. At least, Qin Zi considered himself not his match... If this person really came, Qin Fang naturally wouldn't fear him, but he wasn't too confident in killing him.

Moreover, Hattori Ryuuichi, this coward, takes so many experts with him even when going out. Qin Fang and his side weren't at a great advantage initially, with another troublesome Hattori Hisanari, Qin Fang's side might be in danger instead.

"Act!"

Qin Fang and his group kept an eye on the movements of Hattori Ryuuichi and his people until they left the area of LiKouya, and then Qin Fang father and son immediately led their forces to surround them. Such opportunities are rare and must be seized.

"Who's there?"

Once one's strength reaches the Grandmaster level, there's almost no weakling among them. Those beside Hattori Ryuuichi were almost all Grandmaster-level experts, and they all practiced the most enigmatic ninjutsu.

Ninjas are born assassins, with senses much sharper than ordinary martial artists.

Just as Qin Fang's side closed in, they were immediately sensed by the other side. Everyone instantly became alert, even quickly forming a formation around Hattori Ryuuichi, protecting him at the center, even though they knew full well that Hattori Ryuuichi's strength surpassed all of theirs put together.

"Hattori Ryuuichi, you old ghost, do you still remember me?"

At this point, Qin Fang and his group naturally saw no need to stay hidden, stepping out from the shadows. Qin Tiannan even leaped ahead of Hattori Ryuuichi, almost directly entering his attack range.

"Enemy attack..."

Before Hattori Ryuuichi could speak, his subordinates had already become agitated, especially upon noticing Qin Tiannan's sudden approach. They quickly went into stealth mode, ambushing Qin Tiannan's position.

Aside from Hattori Ryuuichi, there were seven Grandmaster-level experts. Three of them immediately launched attacks on Qin Tiannan, including one Grandmaster Peak Strongman, one Grandmaster-level Late-stage Expert, and one Grandmaster-level Mid-stage Expert...

The three ninja experts were all of the Earth Nin tier, monstrous figures whose very first moves were absolute killer moves, with three blades of invisible killing intent rushing straight towards Qin Tiannan.

"Idiots!"

"Retreat..."

Almost simultaneously, Qin Tiannan and Hattori Ryuuichi both spoke and immediately took action.

Puff puff puff~~

However, these three ninjas were headed straight for Qin Tiannan. Seeing as they were about to attack him, they naturally couldn't evade his counterattack. Three incredibly sharp Sword Qi emanated from Qin Tiannan's hands.

Immediately, in the dim void appeared three blood arrows out of thin air...

At the same time, three corpses emerged from the void, each head blasted with a bloody hole, almost completely shattered, instantly losing all signs of life...

"Baka!"

Hattori Ryuuichi had already guessed some things and tried desperately to prevent them, but he was ultimately a step too late. What greeted him were only three mangled corpses, leaving no time to save any of them.

In response, Hattori Ryuuichi was utterly furious, and his gaze towards Qin Tiannan became extraordinarily sinister.

However, his small eyes were darting around, carefully assessing the man before him, seemingly pondering his identity.

"You are..."

However, the incident where Hattori Ryuuichi tricked Qin Tiannan was twenty years ago... With all the years gone by, Qin Tiannan had transformed from a young man into a middle-aged one. Although his appearance had not changed significantly, his demeanor had altered profoundly.

As a result, Hattori Ryuuichi found Qin Tiannan's face somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall immediately, leaving his expression hesitant.

"Hmph..."

Clearly, Hattori Ryuuichi's reaction greatly angered Qin Tiannan; the scoundrel had tricked him twenty years ago, and now he couldn't even remember. This left Qin Tiannan feeling both depressed and aggrieved.

But more than that, his gaze towards Hattori Ryuuichi became sharper.

"Old ghost, whether you've truly forgotten me or are pretending not to remember, it's all irrelevant now... It's been twenty years, and it's time we settled this score!"

Qin Tiannan had no time to chat with Hattori Ryuuichi. With a cold snort, he lifted the Qianyu Divine Sword in his hand and prepared to strike.

"Twenty years? You are..."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Ryuuichi looked again at Qin Tiannan's face and was suddenly struck with realization, his expression changing abruptly.

"Tsk tsk, these little devils really are foolish... To dare confront a Great Grandmaster Level while at Grandmaster-level tier, isn't this just courting death?"

Qin Tiannan wiped out three major experts with one sword, including the Grandmaster Peak Strongman who was most troublesome for Qin Fang and the others, instantly relieving them of enormous pressure and solving a very troublesome problem.

Although Qin Fang's current strength was enough to withstand a Grandmaster Peak Strongman, it was merely to hold off; let alone killing the opponent, keeping himself alive was already commendable.

"Enough chatter, let's move..."

Seeing Qin Tiannan already poised to strike at Hattori Ryuuichi, Qin Fang waved his arm, leading a group of brothers to attack the remaining four Grandmaster-level experts.

Qin Fang himself directly charged at the remaining Grandmaster-level Late-stage Expert with the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword...

"Kill!"

With a fierce shout from Qin Fang, Monk Wukong, Song Qingshan, Ji Xiang, and Everard all charged toward their pre-determined opponents... Qin Zi originally planned to help, but considering her identity should not be exposed, she refrained from joining.

Nevertheless, Lin Qian, possessing Grandmaster-level strength, stayed on standby due to some of her strength being depleted after using the Thousand Doors Secret Technique. Only when necessary would she intervene to assist.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed she couldn't get involved!

"Hattori Ryuuichi, I've waited twenty years for this day... It's time for us to settle this!"

Seeing his son Qin Fang had already acted, Qin Tiannan naturally wouldn't remain idle. With the Qianyu Divine Sword shaking in his hand, sharp sword qi charged straight at Hattori Ryuuichi. He intended to kill, with every move being a lethal blow.

"Hmph... Twenty years ago, you were defeated by me; twenty years later, you are still destined to die..."

By now, Hattori Ryuuichi had recognized Qin Tiannan's identity. Though surprised how Qin Tiannan managed to escape alive from Devil's Island, he had no choice but to brace himself for battle.

Whoosh~~~

Having reached the Great Grandmaster Level and being a very formidable ninja, Hattori Ryuuichi was among the top Sky Ninjas, with the ability to vanish into the void and disappear into the Black Night with a slight movement.

"Amazing Invisibility Technique..."

Qin Fang, while restraining a Grandmaster-level Late-stage Expert, continued to monitor Qin Tiannan and Hattori Ryuuichi's situation. Observing Hattori Ryuuichi's Stealth Skill, he couldn't help but admire, reaching a Grandmaster-level tier, making it nearly impossible to find his flaw.

That said, Qin Fang possessed the Scouting Skill, an ultimate cheat nullifying any Stealth Skill and Invisibility Technique. They all remained visible on his mini-map... But the problem was, his father Qin Tiannan lacked such extraordinary skills, leaving Qin Fang slightly anxious.

Ninjas are notoriously difficult to deal with due to their elusive and hard-to-detect movements... However, once their cover is blown, their threat diminishes by at least half, or even more. After all, ninjas are not front-line fighters; sneak attacks and assassinations are their specialties! (to be continued.
