Chapter 1001 Only a strong enemy can prove the Way!
The news of Minamoto Musashi's engagement with Ye Beichen was like a bombshell, shocking the entire Japanese country.
Not only the martial arts world, but also the bigwigs in the military, political and business circles, and even the cabinet and the royal family were shocked by this.
The Japanese country has always worshiped martial arts, and the Sword Master is the spiritual belief of all warriors and has the supreme status.
Previously, Ye Fan bloodbathed all major sects and families with overwhelming force, leaving countless Japanese warriors holding their breath and feeling extremely humiliated.
But now, the sword master who has been silent for a hundred years has reappeared.
The unprecedented showdown on the top of Mount Fuji three days later is naturally highly anticipated.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Sword Master Gen Musashi is the last trump card in the Japanese martial arts world.
What was decided in this battle was not personal victory or defeat, but the honor of the entire Japanese martial arts community.
If Minamoto Musashi loses, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, in the hearts of most Japanese warriors, Minamoto Musashi is a "god"-like existence.
Just ask the gods, how can they lose to mere mortals?
They firmly believed that Minamoto Musashi would be able to show off his power, beat Ye Beichen to a pulp, and wash away the humiliation with the blood of his enemies.
At the same time, the news spread back to China, detonating the entire Hidden Gate Forum.
The younger generation of Chinese warriors don't know much about the name "Minamoto Musashi".
Someone immediately posted a message asking: "What kind of sword master is this? Who is this? Is there any big guy who can educate me about it?"
"Yeah... I've never heard of this guy!"
"Ye Beichen is a strong man on the list of gods. His sword roars across the ocean and his power is unstoppable! Even if Minamoto Musashi comes back to the world, it probably won't make any sense!"
During this period, Ye Fan became famous and had many loyal fans in the forum who had absolute confidence in him.
But at this moment, a user with the ID name "Yu Jian Xiaoyao" posted a post——
"Minamoto Musashi - a living legend! The man infinitely closest to the "Sword God"!"
In the post, he elaborated on Minamoto Musashi's invincible demeanor in the world a hundred years ago. He even talked about how he once rushed to China and defeated ninety-nine Chinese warriors in one year, defeating ninety-nine types of Chinese warriors.
In martial arts, he has never failed and is like a god.
…
Soon, some people questioned the authenticity of the post:
"This post is probably made up, right? How can a Japanese guy be so powerful?"
"That's it! Don't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"What a bullshit swordsman! In front of our Chinese magic, he is just a chicken and a dog!"
"This 'Yu Jian Xiaoyao' is not a lackey of the Japanese people, deliberately confusing the public, right?"
Faced with such slander, "Yu Jian Xiaoyao" was furious and directly revealed his identity.
It turns out that the user with the ID "Yu Jian Xiaoyao" is not a younger generation of warriors, but refers to the head of Jian Qi Palace - Jian Wuya!
Zhijian Qigong is a famous swordsmanship sect. Although it is not as good as the ancient families like Xuanyuan Ji and Yandi Jiang, it can still be regarded as the authentic Xuanmen sect.
Jian Wuya, on the other hand, is a peerless strong man in the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. With his status, it is absolutely impossible for him to talk nonsense.
After he revealed his identity, someone immediately posted a message asking him: "Master Jian Wuya, why are you so familiar with Minamoto Musashi?"
"A hundred years ago, when Minamoto Musashi set foot in China, he once asked my master, Hidden Sword Master, for a fight! At that time, my master had already entered the middle stage of the heavenly realm, and his power had reached the level of creation. Who would have thought that within ten moves, he would be defeated by Minamoto Musashi's peerless swordsman?
He was defeated by swordsmanship, suffered heavy injuries, and passed away a few years later!" Jian Wuya said with emotion, sighing endlessly.
After hearing these words, there was silence in the entire Hidden Gate Forum.
Those who were optimistic about Ye Beichen before stopped speaking.
Being able to easily defeat Hidden Sword Master means that a hundred years ago, Minamoto Musashi was already a strong man at the pinnacle of heaven, standing at the top of martial arts.
Now that hundreds of years have passed, Minamoto Musashi's strength has reached a terrifying level.
In their opinion, no matter how amazing Ye Beichen is, he is still a young man. If he is given a few more decades, he may be able to compete with Minamoto Musashi.
But now, there is almost no chance of winning.
If you rush into the challenge, not only will you lose, but you may also die!
The most rational choice is to return to China immediately, but in this case, the unparalleled power he established before will be in vain, and his achievements will be in vain.
…
In a hotel suite in Tokyo, Japan.
Ye Fan was sitting on the sofa, holding a simple letter of challenge in his hand.
This letter of war was written in Chinese by Minamoto Musashi himself, with iron hooks and silver hooks. It is majestic and majestic. There seems to be a sharp sword intention between the lines, and it almost seems to come out through the paper.
Ordinary people would be severely injured just by staring at the war book for a few seconds, let alone touching it.
Mei Daizi stood behind Ye Fan, with a look of worry on her pretty face, and slowly said: "Sir, if you can, you should refuse this fight! Back then, even the great priest of Ise Shrine
, they all respect Master Sword Master very much!"
"What?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Do you think... I am not a match for Gen Musashi?"
"Don't dare!" Mei Daizi shook her head quickly, but it was obvious that she was telling the truth.
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, Ye Fan burst out laughing, revealing a surge of heroic spirit in his body, and said loudly: "Even if he is an undefeated sword master, so what? My sword is fearless, and I have understood the unyielding will of the ancient god of war, let alone
A mere sword master, not even the gods and Buddhas above the nine heavens, can't stop me!"
Ye Fan's voice is sonorous and powerful, and his words are like gold and stone, containing domineering and outstanding will.
With his current strength and vision, he will not be timid no matter what kind of enemy he encounters.
Of course he knew that Minamoto Musashi was very strong and could be hailed as the undefeated sword master. How could he be an ordinary person?
However, there are countless strong men who have been defeated by Ye Fan.
The road to the throne is destined to be full of thorns, but he will never back down.
A strong enemy can only prove the truth!
Since Gen Musashi came out to deal with him, Ye Fan didn't mind using Gen Musashi as a whetstone to sharpen his martial arts.
…
Three days passed by in a flash, and finally it was time for the peak showdown.
Mount Fuji has been hailed as the "holy mountain" by the Japanese people since ancient times and is a symbol of the Japanese nation. The poet once praised it with "the jade fan hanging upside down in the East China Sea and the sky" and "Fuji's white snow reflects the morning sun".
Countless Japanese martial arts masters rushed to Mount Fuji, preparing to watch the battle up close.
For many warriors, being able to see Minamoto Musashi's swordsmanship with their own eyes is of great benefit to their own realm.
On the other hand, Mount Fuji is the most famous tourist attraction in Japan, with millions of tourists visiting it every year.
But early this morning, a cordon was set up around Mount Fuji. Soldiers from the Metropolitan Police Department patrolled back and forth, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering.
Some tourists who came here specially felt extremely disappointed, but they could not force their way in. They could only gather on the roadside, hoping that the cordon could be removed as soon as possible.
As time goes by, there are more and more tourists at the foot of the mountain, and there are thousands of them.
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of car engine.
A motorcade came from a distance, including dozens of Mercedes-Benz S600Ls, and a Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom was escorted by stars, full of aura.
For a time, this luxurious motorcade attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.
"Holy crap! Who is this... such a grand event?" someone muttered.
Soon, the convoy stopped at the foot of the mountain. Four bodyguards in black got out of each Mercedes-Benz, with solemn expressions and calm demeanor.
"Peng!"
The door on the right rear of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a sixty-year-old man stepped out. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he had an extraordinary demeanor. His gestures gave off the aura of a superior.
After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, someone immediately exclaimed:
"Oh my God! Isn't this the chairman of the Mitsubishi Group - Taro Iwasaki?"
The Mitsubishi Foundation is one of the four major consortiums in Japan, with assets of hundreds of billions. It controls hundreds of companies and has a huge influence in various fields of Japan.
And Taro Iwasaki is the helmsman of this business empire. He has made great changes in the business world and is extremely powerful.
Everyone never expected that such a big shot would suddenly appear on Mount Fuji.
Was it because of his arrival that the mountain was closed?
