My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 116: Sword Drawing Style
Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Sword Drawing Style
In the eyes of this bodyguard, with so many people on his side and two masters from Japan, it didn’t matter if Su Xuan had exceptional skills, he couldn’t do much to him—at worst, he would be beaten up. And the reward that Long Tian would give for this was no small sum, as the bodyguard who had just been hit by Su Xuan was a perfect example.
His calculations were perfect, but he made one critical mistake: he underestimated Su Xuan’s fury.
"Since you’re so eager to die, come at me," Su Xuan said, standing there and adjusting Lin Mengxue’s clothes without even glancing at the bodyguard charging at him.
"The one who’s going to die is you."
The bodyguard was certainly experienced in bloodshed, and Su Xuan’s apparent arrogance only excited him more. He leapt with all his might, swinging the machete in his hand in full arc with a "whoosh," aiming straight for Su Xuan’s head.
"You’ve got power, but sadly your speed is too slow." Su Xuan judged just by the sound, and the next moment, he suddenly turned and kicked furiously into thin air.
Whoosh, thud!
The enraged Su Xuan didn’t hold back much of his strength, ready to kill. His kick landed squarely in the bodyguard’s chest, instantly collapsing it. The bodyguard spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with several chunks of internal organs, crashed against the wall with his eyes bulging, without even a scream, and his soul departed for the Western Heaven.
Shock swept the area, and among the crowd, some were secretly relieved; these were the bodyguards whom Su Xuan had beaten until they cried out for their fathers and mothers.
"Su Xuan, that’s amazing, I had no idea you could be so powerful! Take good care of those two for me, kill them all," Lin Mengru shouted with no fear, like a little tigress roaring.
Lin Mengxue gave her sister a fierce glance, having just regained consciousness, she was all too aware of how terrifying the two inactive ninjas truly were: "Ru, shut up, don’t disturb Su Xuan."
Unwillingly, Lin Mengru opened her small mouth but said nothing. Considering what Lin Mengxue had just done for her, she dared not talk back to her sister.
"Who’s next?" Su Xuan looked around. Long Tian and his bodyguards, frightened out of their wits, couldn’t help but retreat continuously. To them, Su Xuan’s kick was something beyond their comprehension.
"You two, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill Su Xuan for me. Those women were captured by both of you," Long Tian shouted at the two ninjas, trying to redirect Su Xuan’s wrath.
He had no doubts that the ninjas could beat Su Xuan, but he wasn’t sure if they had the strength to protect him if Su Xuan, pushed into a corner, decided to vent his anger on him.
Su Xuan saw right through Long Tian’s intention and scoffed, "Heh, Long Tian, we’ll settle our score in a minute. Today, everyone here must die."
"Kid, you’re talking too big. Don’t think that just because you know a little Kung Fu, you can strut around in front of us. You know what? That kick you just did, the weakest ninja in our organization could do the same," Kumada Masanou said, his face full of disdain without a trace of anxiety.
"Su Xuan, be very careful. He’s telling the truth. He broke that steel rod with his own hands," Lin Mengxue reminded him anxiously.
Su Xuan glanced at the broken steel rod and disdainfully said, "Pure brute force, it’s really nothing special."
"What did you say?" Kumada Masanou, seeing his feat belittled, felt his pride wounded: "Kid, dare you to take three punches from me? If you can withstand them, I’ll let you go this time."
"Sure!" Su Xuan agreed without a second thought, "I might take your three punches, but I’m definitely not going to let you off."
"Good!"
Kumada Masanou itched with hatred for Su Xuan; in his view, the more Su Xuan overestimated himself, the better it was for him: "Watch closely now, here comes my first punch."
In that moment, Kumada Masanou seemed like a completely different person. The sleazy, lecherous look on his face disappeared as he took a few sprinting steps forward, leapt up, using the twisting force of his waist to deliver a punch with eighty percent of his strength, aiming directly for Su Xuan’s nose bridge.
There were no fancy tricks; it was a pure combination of power and speed.
"If that’s all the strength you have, then it’s really disappointing," Su Xuan said with a hint of mockery in his eyes. freёnovelkiss.com
If he killed these two Japanese men straight away, it wouldn’t quench the fury in his heart. And in terms of a test of strength, having ingested the Golden Silkworm Gu, he had never lost to anyone.
Just as Kumada Masanou neared him, Su Xuan lazily lifted his arm and clenched his fist to meet the punch.
"This kid is as good as dead." Kameda Toshiro had lost the will to watch.
Although he and Kumada Masanou weren’t the best in the Black Dragon Association, they were still above average. Even their number one expert, caught off guard, couldn’t block a single forceful blow from the two of them.
Clang!
Their flesh and bone fists met, surprisingly producing a metallic clash.
Their fists collided, and in the next moment, they quickly separated. The difference was that Su Xuan remained motionless, while Kumada Masanou had flown out. If he hadn’t also undergone special training and knew how to dissipate the force, his arms would have probably been broken.
"This is impossible, there’s no way you could have blocked my punch," Kumada Masanou, rubbing his sore arm, couldn’t believe what was unfolding before his eyes.
Su Xuan looked down with disdain, "You are nothing but a second-rate ninja, yet you dare to swagger around in our Huaxia. Even if the Emperor’s guard came here, they would still have to beat a hasty retreat before me."
"What!" Kameda Toshiro was shocked, "How do you know about our ninja ranking system, and about the Emperor’s guard?"
"How I know is not important, what matters is that the two of you are doomed today." Su Xuan looked at the two men with a gaze reserved for the dead.
Su Xuan’s performance had far exceeded the expectations of the Lin Family sisters.
Lin Mengru, the violent one, grew restless again, putting on a display of borrowed strength, "Su Xuan, why waste words with these two pieces of trash? Just kill them."
"No," Lin Mengxue quickly intervened, "Su Xuan, murder is illegal; you should capture these two and take them to the public security bureau."
"No need," Su Xuan said indifferently, "Killing law-abiding citizens is indeed illegal, but killing terrorists who have infiltrated our country is simply eradicating harm for the people."
As to whether these two ninjas were terrorists, Su Xuan had no idea. He thought the accusation was a big hat to wear, which would later allow for an explanation on his part.
However, it was certain that, given the skills and temperaments of these two ninjas, they were indeed international fugitives. Killing them would carry no consequences whatsoever.
"Kid, don’t think you can strut around here just because you have some brute strength. Today, I will show you just how powerful our Ninjutsu, and Sword Drawing Style in particular, are," Kameda Toshiro gripped the Japanese sword at his waist,
"What nonsense Sword Drawing Style, it’s merely about maximizing speed in the instant of drawing the sword. Today I will let you see what Huaxia’s ’empty-handed into white blade’ is all about," Su Xuan sneered, walking straight towards Kameda Toshiro.
Kameda Toshiro’s body relaxed, tuning himself into prime condition; his eyes were fixed on Su Xuan, but his attention was entirely focused on the sword in his hand.
The Sword Drawing Style is a form of Ninjutsu, and in fact, it’s a type of Blade Skill, aiming at delivering a fatal blow at the moment the sword is drawn, thus it’s the preferred technique of assassins seeking to kill with a single strike.
However, in this era of firearms, and amidst large-scale combat, this Blade Skill has almost become extinct.
The first reason is that Sword Drawing Style is too difficult to master. Even among experts, ensuring a fatal strike is quite challenging.
More importantly, this Blade Skill is at a disadvantage in multiple-opponent situations—you can’t be expected to kill one person and then sheathe the sword only to draw it again while the enemies certainly wouldn’t give you the chance.
Su Xuan, a veteran of countless battles, had encountered such experts in Japan. He had almost suffered a loss during their first encounter, as ninjas who focused solely on this move had honed their speed to the utmost limit, making it very hard for an average person to dodge.
"I can tell you for certain, everyone who underestimated a master of Sword Drawing Style has become a corpse, and you’re about to be the next," Kameda Toshiro grasped his Japanese sword tightly, like a venomous snake ready to strike.
"Well then, let’s try and see,"
Su Xuan didn’t even glance at the sword, but instead focused on Kameda Toshiro’s face, step by step, walking slowly towards him.
Kameda Toshiro also grew nervous at Su Xuan’s nonchalant demeanor, as he only had one chance to strike.
"You are too tense now, your legs are stiff, and you can’t maintain flexible steps. How can you maintain the speed of drawing the sword?" Su Xuan, like a master instructing a clueless disciple, walked straight up to Kameda Toshiro.
"Go to hell,"
Unable to bear the pressure from Su Xuan any longer, Kameda Toshiro drew his sword first. A flash of silver aimed at Su Xuan’s eyes with extreme speed.
This strike was indeed too fast, so fast that the spectators hadn’t even seen Kameda Toshiro’s movement; everyone couldn’t help but worry for Su Xuan.
Thud!
Next moment, the sound of blood spurting arose, followed by a thud of a heavy object falling, and a fresh, pungent scent of blood began to permeate the room.
"Has Su Xuan died?" Long Tian thought.
"Could something have happened to Su Xuan?" The Lin Family sisters looked over simultaneously.
Kumada Masanou, however, laughed heartily, "Haha, I knew this Su Xuan didn’t know how high the sky is. Just because he has a bit of strength, he dared to battle with our ninjas. Does he not know that what we ninjas excel at the most is speed?"
"Is this the speed your ninjas excel at?" A calm voice laced with disdain rang out, startling everyone present.
