Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 848: Chapter 847 Rashomon

The Sect Master stood behind Onitsuka, watching as the clothes on Onitsuka’s body fluttered without wind, and his complexion changed drastically.

”Onitsuka... what are you going to do...” The Sect Master said in a trembling, urgent voice, ”You... you can’t use that move, it’s a forbidden technique, it must not be used. Even Terrestrial Immortals shouldn’t use it recklessly, you... don’t force yourself...”

Onitsuka did not speak, concentrating on gathering his momentum. In just a moment, even Liao Yuxuan and the others were drawn by that power, and they had to use the Thousand-pound Fall to stabilize themselves, or else they would have likely been pulled in front of Onitsuka.

In front of Onitsuka, a vortex slowly appeared. The vortex gradually grew larger, and finally, it transformed into a vortex about a zhang in diameter, as if it could devour everything around it.

Suddenly, Onitsuka took a step forward, gripped the giant katana, and fiercely slashed toward the vortex, roaring, ”Double-Layered Rashomon!”

With the slash, the vortex was forcibly split open into a black hole.

Without the slightest hesitation, Onitsuka grabbed the Sect Master, who was still shouting and screaming, and directly threw him into the black hole.

The black hole closed rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. At that moment, the giant katana in Onitsuka’s hand was also drawn into the vortex, including Onitsuka himself, who was swallowed by the vortex.

With a thunderous boom, the vortex shattered, sending the enormous force that even sent Mr. Jin Ye flying. As for Liao Yuxuan and the others, not to mention, all were knocked away without exception. Two of the weaker ones even had their bodies shattered, presenting a horrific sight.

The expressions of everyone were filled with extreme panic. Upon closer inspection, the Sect Master had already vanished without a trace. And on the ground before them lay a person covered in blood, who turned out to be Onitsuka from before.

Onitsuka’s katana sword was broken into dozens of pieces, and Onitsuka himself was covered in blood, looking miserable, already dead.

The crowd looked at each other, none of them expecting such a situation.

”What was that just now?” Gongye Liang asked in astonishment, ”What is this Double-Layered Rashomon, what exactly is it?”

The others shook their heads, and even Mr. Jin Ye shook his head repeatedly, ”Never heard of it.”

”It is one of the secret techniques among Japanese Ninjutsu...” At this point, Liao Yuxuan spoke up, ”Using one’s own strength to disturb the spatial rules. Splitting space, a method of instant teleportation. The various escape techniques in Japanese Ninjutsu, originated from this Rashomon secret technique.”

”I see!” Everyone suddenly understood, Gongye Liang said gravely, ”Then where has this Sect Master gone now? This man must not be allowed to escape, he must be killed!”

”No need to search.” Liao Yuxuan shook his head and said, ”I have seen Japanese Ninja use the Ninefold Rashomon on the other side. The Ninefold Rashomon can transport a person to a place thousands of miles away. This Double-Layered Rashomon, although it’s only the initial stage of Rashomon, can also transport a person at least tens of miles away.”

”Tens of miles away!” Everyone was shocked, such a far distance in the blink of an eye, with their current situation, they dared not even contemplate it.

”Tens of miles away, and we still don’t know the direction of the teleportation. To search using this place as the center, any slight error in direction will result in failure to find him,” Liao Yuxuan said gravely, ”Therefore, this person, we simply cannot find him.”

”This is quite troublesome now,” Gongye Liang said. ”If we let this Sect Master return to Japan and spill our secrets, wouldn’t the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect be bent on a fight to the death with us afterward?”

Liao Yuxuan sighed deeply, speaking in a grave tone, ”I didn’t expect that someone who hasn’t even entered the realm of Terrestrial Immortals could actually use such forbidden techniques of the Terrestrial Immortals. You must know, this Rashomon secret technique, even the Terrestrial Immortals among the Japanese Ninjas are reluctant to use it at will. You all saw just now, the chaotic space, once someone gets caught up in it, even for Terrestrial Immortals, death is certain!”

Thinking back to Onitsuka being sucked into that vortex just earlier, everyone nodded in agreement. It was the power of space, and they were all very clear about it, space power is something not even Terrestrial Immortals can defy!

”Forget it, let’s hurry back and report this matter to the Divine Master to see what he decides,” Mr. Jin Ye said.

Everyone nodded, and Liao Yuxuan sighed, ”It seems that’s the only option now. But it’s really infuriating that we didn’t manage to kill that man surnamed Su this time!”

”Let him jump around for a few days. Although he has taken the Celestial War Armor, I don’t believe he dares to go to the Asura Gate!” Gongye Liang sneered coldly. ”If he doesn’t go to the Asura Gate, then he is merely holding the Celestial War Armor for us. When we come back to retrieve it, it will be time for his death!”

Liao Yuxuan fell silent for a while, then spoke coldly, ”Even so, we can’t let him get too conceited. Spread the word that Su Yang on Lake Heart Island relied on the power of Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong to suppress the Qi Family’s people. And at that time, Qi Zhishan of the Qi Family was not at home, and Qi Jian’an did not make a move; that’s why he was able to defeat so many of the Qi Family!”

”What’s the point of doing this?” Mr. Jin Ye asked curiously.

”Many people fear Su Yang because they think that he defeated Qi Zhishan and Qi Jian’an. Once this news spreads, people will feel that it was not Su Yang’s strength that was formidable, but rather the fact that Qi Zhishan and Qi Jian’an did not make a move,” Liao Yuxuan sneered. ”By then, those powerful experts will no longer fear him. He wants to control the Southern Six Provinces, hmph, I’d like to see what he can really do to control them!”

Mr. Jin Ye’s eyes lit up, smiling, ”You really do have a lot of ideas. After this news spreads, I’m sure there will be quite a few people in the Southern Six Provinces who want to challenge him. He’s not going to have a peaceful time for a while!”

”Of course!” Liao Yuxuan smiled proudly. ”If he makes me unhappy, why should I let him be comfortable?”

...

More than forty miles away from this location, by a small river, a vortex suddenly appeared in the air that had been calm. The vortex continued to expand, reaching a diameter of ten feet, when a crack appeared in the middle, and a figure tumbled out from within it.

The person was covered in blood, and his injuries were not light. Yet, he managed to stand up with difficulty.

The moonlight shone on the person’s face, clearly revealing his features—it was none other than the Sect Master who Onitsuka had sent away at the risk of his own life.

A cold glint flashed in the Sect Master’s eyes. He looked around, bit his teeth, and suddenly jumped into the river.

After washing the bloodstains off his body with the river water, he crawled out of the riverbed and stealthily slipped into a village along a small path.

He didn’t hurry to leave because he didn’t know if Liao Yuxuan and the others were looking for him. Thus, he had to first figure out the situation around him before thinking of a way to escape back to Japan.

He had already made up his mind that after his return this time, he would report everything, no matter what, and have his sect personally take action to kill Liao Yuxuan and his people to avenge Onitsuka!
