Everyone was filled with shock after hearing those words.They didn’t understand what Takai did to be this impressive…but judging from Aryan’s shock, they immediately understood.Nanako crossed her arms, showing a prideful expression.“There are some things that you might not know, Master Aryan.“When my uncle sparred with the Aenar Temple, he only showed ten out of fourteen slashes. He usually wouldn’t use the last four since they were the deadliest.“Even if Harvey’s lucky enough to deal with the first ten slashes… Nobody would be able to go against the last four! He’s dead for sure!”Everyone looked at Harvey with pity; they naturally believed Nanako’s words. Romina and Billie seemed worried, but they wouldn’t dare say a word about it.Takai dragged his long sword on the ground, emitting a trail of sparks, until he finally arrived ten steps in front of Harvey.“Any last words, young man?” he exclaimed coldly.Harvey smiled.“You should tell me yours instead. Your family’s
“You blocked my Raigeki?”Takai was filled with disbelief. He could clearly tell that Harvey only flicked his finger just now. And yet, that simple action was enough to make Takai’s fingers numb.Only the Great Wall was able to make him feel this way before.“Is this little bastard actually on par with the Great Wall in terms of both speed and power? Or am I just underestimating him?”Takai showed an odd expression; after becoming a God of War, he didn’t show it off to anyone else. Rather, he had been constantly training himself. He knew there was still a long way before he could finally be the strongest of all the Gods of War.He needed to train his muscles, speed, concentration of his power, and many more things. Everything needed time…And yet, Harvey managed to block the attack that he took at least two decades to perfect, shocking everyone around him.That said, Takai was an impressive character as well; he took a deep breath before quickly regaining his calm.He held hi
“How is that possible?!”Nanako and the others gasped before they instinctively rubbed their eyes.‘What’s going on? How did Harvey manage to dodge the Twelfth Slash? This is unbelievable!’One of Nanako’s followers couldn’t help but slap himself to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming.Takai’s eyes twitched as well.He didn’t think that Harvey would be so fast, with such strong defenses. More importantly, he had such a keen eye that he saw through the attack’s weak spot instantly.Harvey calmly waved his hand before smoothing out his clothes.“My wife bought this for me, and I like it a lot. I’m a little mad that you’re wrinkling it. Maybe you should kneel as an apology.”“You ignorant bastard! Die!”Takai was instantly enraged by Harvey’s mocking words; he couldn’t remain calm any longer.“Thirteenth Slash, Shiranui!”Takai’s sword looked as if it was burning. The raging fire on the blade seemed like it was about to swallow Harvey whole.“Stay back! Stay back now!”Nanako w
“Just go die if you want to so badly! Why would you drag my man into this?! You’re shameless!” Nanako exclaimed.“If anything happens to Asher, I won’t let you get away with this!”Harvey squinted at Takai’s blade without even looking back.“Don’t worry. Your man will survive.“If your uncle can even burn a strand of my hair, I’ll concede.“That said, you look up to your uncle a little too much. I’m starting to think that he had a lot of drugs just to get to this point.“After all, he’s no different from the rest of the people I send flying.”“You…”Takai was enraged; he swung his sword faster, creating a tornado of fire.The fierce fire surrounded Harvey in an instant.Nanako and the others could feel the surroundings getting scorched; they couldn’t help but pray so that they wouldn’t get involved.‘We’re finished! If Harvey can’t defend himself against such a terrifying attack…’They didn’t know if Harvey would die from this or not. But they’d definitely be dragged into t
Before Takai could come to his senses, Harvey took a step forward and swung his palm forward.Compared to what Takai did, it was just a simple slap without any flashy or complicated steps.“What?!”Takai’s expression kept changing; he didn’t think Harvey could still dish out an attack after getting constantly targeted.Judging from the speed and power of the slap, he wasn’t even worn out from the battle, either.Before Takai could form a clear thought in his head, Harvey’s palm was already in front of his face. He had no choice but to hold his sword up, hoping to guard himself from the attack.Slap!Takai was in disbelief; he finally realized that Harvey had no intention to fight him.He was finally slapped in the face. He felt a sharp pain, and his head was constantly spinning; his body shook, and he was sent flying to a huge tree from behind.The tree snapped in half, and he stumbled off the ground.Nanako and the other members of the Kawashima family gasped in disbelief.
It was simply unbelievable. And yet, the truth was right in front of everyone.Takai didn’t just lose—he was utterly defeated. He wouldn’t be able to find an excuse for this, even if he tried.“No… This is impossible…”Nanako felt weak from the shock. “Go! All of you!”The swordsmen and ninjas of the Kawashima family shivered before charging forward. They couldn’t possibly accept such a crushing defeat. Clack!Harvey stomped on Takai’s longsword. Many broken sword shards flew straight ahead.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard; the experts of the Kawashima family were either covering their limbs or rolling on the ground, wailing all the while.The Kawashima family was taken down! Without a shadow of a doubt!Nanako wasn’t the only one shocked—Aryan froze, and so did Miley. Whitley and Billie covered their mouths; they didn’t know what sound to make at that moment. Their minds were completely blank.Romina and the others were also filled with disbelief.Harvey casually
Stefan smiled.“Let me ask you something. Do you think a young God of War like Harvey would come to this place for no reason? Do you really think the outskirts can hold such a prominent figure?”Aryan frowned for a moment. “I don’t think so, but he came here with a plan. If this keeps up, our ceremony might get affected.”Stefan smiled.“Exactly.“What’s the biggest reason such a top talent like him is attracted to a small place like this? The very thing that’s about to show up at the ceremony, of course.“Once the Nine-Eyed Beads are united, one can use it to obtain eternal life!“It’s not just Harvey. I’m sure prominent figures from all over the place have shown up here by now… Harvey isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last either.”Aryan pondered about the situation for a moment. “But there’s no need to hide all this for Harvey…”“That’s simply not true,” Stefan said, standing up.“Soon, the outskirts will be in chaos.“The Aenar Temple has proper support, but that does
“Heh! You think so?”Takai chuckled coldly. He raised his head, to find Nanako looking deceitful. “Stop lying to yourself. Even after ten years, I’ll probably still be no match against that little bastard.“He’s at a level that’s simply terrifying! If he keeps growing, he’ll become the Island Nations’ biggest obstacle!“The Kawashima family can’t deal with a prominent figure like that. He’s destined to rival the entire country!“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this in the first place!”Takai gritted his teeth, furious. Defeat wasn’t scary at all, but being crippled was. What was he going to do for the rest of his life?He badly wanted to strangle the one who instigated the whole thing. It was a shame that he couldn’t do that anymore.Nanako hesitated for a moment.“What should we do now? Now that you’re like this, our family’s strength is mostly gone. We’ve become toothless tigers here…” she said. Takai took a deep breath to calm himself down.“Since th
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
