God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 493 - 490: The Old Butler’s Strength

In fact, neither Xiao Tian nor the old butler knew that the method Lauren used required a significant amount of True Qi.

Just after he had transported that Zhong Family expert who fell into the formation unexpectedly, the True Qi within himself was instantly consumed by nearly a third.

This was the result when the opponent was shocked and didn’t struggle much. If that Zhong Family expert had attempted to release Spiritual Qi to counteract the sinking force with True Qi...

Even if Lauren eventually succeeded, it would never have been as easy as it was!

Unfortunately, that Zhong Family expert was so stunned at the time that he forgot his skills as an expert and just instinctively struggled physically.

However, this can’t be blamed on him; after all, not everyone can remain calm in desperate situations. Most people, when encountering such a scenario, don’t know what to do!

Mr. Zhong sighed at the panic and evasive glances of the crowd, realizing that the Zhong Family had become too complacent over the years, and the family’s experts were no longer a shadow of their former glory!

Sighing aside, the old butler, with a lifetime of battle experience, knew that the situation would get out of control if it continued to develop like this, so he had to shout loudly and step forward.

Seeing the old butler finally lose his cool, the excitement in Mingzhi Ginseng’s eyes was reignited; if he could easily kill this famous old man,

then, when he returned to Japan, he would undoubtedly earn the respect of the older generation of experts.

Winning the favor of the older generation would undoubtedly benefit him greatly in the future!

With this in mind, Mingzhi Ginseng once again brandished the long samurai blade he held in his hands tightly, standing in a vigilant posture, clearly not daring to be careless.

Until this moment, aside from Xiao Tian and the Water Drop Organization’s Four Stars, Lauren, everyone else saw the weapon in Mingzhi Ginseng’s hand for the first time.

The handle was entirely black with yellow stripes running along it. The blade had a curve but no edge, appearing extremely heavy.

The crowd was surprised that this bladeless sword could cut through someone’s throat?

Usually, with a dull blade, everyone present, except Lin Bingxuan, could manage, but it couldn’t be done as smoothly, cleanly, and gracefully, nor could the wound be made as meticulously.

Of course, this was just the surface; it only showed that the Zhong Family experts couldn’t see the deep mysteries.

In the eyes of Xiao Tian and the old butler, including Lauren, the samurai blade in Mingzhi Ginseng’s hand was definitely not a dull blade without an edge!

It was just that the edge was so thin that it was almost transparent, and there was a faint black line on the edge, clearly formed through toxic tempering.

However, none of these were noticed by the Zhong Family experts!

Xiao Tian frowned, secretly worrying about the old butler, while hastening to recover his internal True Qi, as power was everything!

Blasting the Dantian was definitely not an option anymore. Now that there was a crack in the Dantian, another blast would surely shatter it.

Then Xiao Tian’s life-long Martial Dao path would stop here, and no matter how hard he tried afterward, the highest he could reach would be the level of those high-level mercenaries!

All these actions were observed by Lauren, who was watching on the sidelines, puzzled as to why a seriously injured man like Xiao Tian was still trying so hard to recover his True Qi. What was the point?

Was he fantasizing that by gathering his True Qi in a short time, he could kill himself or that Japanese swordsman in one go?!

Thinking deeply, the Four Stars operative Lauren could only attribute it to the stupidity of the Huaxia people!

In the midst of his thoughts, the momentum clash between the old butler and Mingzhi Ginseng had ended, and it appeared that both sides were on par, with neither able to hold back and launching their attacks simultaneously.

This result invigorated the Zhong Family experts, who hadn’t expected the usually unassuming old butler to possess such terrifying strength!

They truly saw Mingzhi Ginseng’s ghostly killing techniques, and now, in the momentum match, they couldn’t distinguish between the two, which meant the old butler had strength at least comparable to his opponent.

With a furious shout, the old butler turned around, launching a kick. Under the enhancement of the cultivation technique, his leg emitted a faint golden light, looking majestic, as if nothing in front of him could stand in his way!

Upon seeing this, Mingzhi Ginseng leaned his upper body slightly back, then swung his blade forward with lightning speed, as if he made a brief tear in the air.

Due to the incredible speed, what people saw appeared like a fan-shaped samurai blade splitting into countless blades, slashing towards the old butler.

"Clang! Clang!"

No one in the Zhong Family could have anticipated that when Mingzhi Ginseng’s blade met the old butler’s foot, the cloth shoe on the old butler’s foot not only was not cut open but actually blocked the blade coming with the force of the wind.

Then came two ringing metal collision sounds, sparks flashed at the point of contact, after which both retreated two steps, vigilantly eyeing each other!

This move from the old butler stunned everyone, including Xiao Tian and Lauren. Ordinary martial arts like the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, though capable of resisting swords and similar effects,

even as strong as Xiao Tian, could withstand bullets with his flesh, but even he couldn’t manage to keep external objects intact.

For instance, Xiao Tian could endure a bullet impact and effortlessly catch it, but to keep his clothing undamaged under bullet impact was something he couldn’t do!

That’s why it was even more surprising that the old butler’s cultivation technique was likely of a high level!

Mingzhi Ginseng shook off his numbed hands from the impact, his brow furrowed. This old man, exalted to the heavens by the predecessors, was indeed not simple. It seemed he really had to take him seriously!

Unbeknownst to him, the old butler, who seemed to be weathering it effortlessly, was groaning secretly; although the previous strike didn’t cause real harm,

the Power of the Blade within that strike numbed his foot. Even in the eyes of the old butler, this Japanese’s swordsmanship was top-notch!

The two stalemated for a moment, waiting until the numbness in their limbs faded before beginning the second round without delay.

In essence, though the first round seemed thrilling, neither side used their trump cards. The kick and the slash appeared perilous but were actually tests of strength.

In a blink, the two were entangled once more. The old butler still fought barehanded against Mingzhi Ginseng’s treasured blade, with the clangs of their clashes ringing more than twenty times within seconds.

Both interwove fiercely and with such speed that it dazzled everyone, making it hard to distinguish who was Mingzhi Ginseng and who was the old butler!

This time, the stalemate lasted even longer, with the sound of metal clashing not ceasing after five minutes, until the onlookers gasped and couldn’t help but exclaim a warning.

"Watch out!"
