a rough grey linen robe."This is the shop assistant's clothes, it's about your size, just wear this for now."After the woman finished speaking, she threw her clothes at him and turned away.Ye Bufan na...Seeing this scene, Miyamoto Musashi's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils dilated with rage.

"Ye Bufan, don't forget your mother is still in our hands."

He turned his head and shouted to the two elders in charge of guarding Chang Sun Dong [愛奇] Ju, "If Ye Bufan dares to resist again, kill this woman."

Then he saw the people from the Gongben family: "Who's going to kill this Chinese for me"

Now everyone present fell silent again, and no one dared to step forward.

Although the Gongben family held hostages, Ye Bufan's just-now sword strike was so shocking.

This is not simply a request to have something done, but a demand for someone's life.

Who knows if this Chinese man, because of his mother, will truly give up resisting. What if he doesn't In that case, the one who dies won't be him.

Even someone as skilled as Musashi Miyamoto could be killed, so where does that leave you After all, everyone has only one life, and no one dares to risk it.

In fact, Mokuzo Miyamoto also considered this point and did not personally take action.

Now the scene was rather awkward. On one hand, the Miyamoto family held hostages, and on the other, no one dared to step forward.

"Let me do it."

As soon as the words left his lips, Lin Tianyu stepped forward. He was now playing the role of Watanabe Mitsuyoshi, the patriarch of the Watanabe family, a powerful martial saint-level expert.

"Thank you," said Miki Motomiya, bowing deeply.

"Fear not, I shall slay this Chinese man myself."

Lin Tianyu struck a pose like Watanabe Mitsuyoshi, then drew his samurai sword.

"Die!"

With a loud roar, the samurai sword in his hand blazed with a shower of steel, blinding anyone who dared to look.

A Martial Saint's strike, formidable and awe-inspiring, had everyone in the room fix their gazes on Ye Bufan, eager to see if he would resist or surrender.

At this moment, a shocking scene occurred. Lin Tianyu's blade flashed, but instead of striking Ye Bufan, it was aimed at the two elders standing beside Changsun Dongju.

Originally, with his cultivation at the peak of Heaven Stage, he would have no resistance against a Saint Stage martial artist. Besides, both of these people were focused on Ye Bufan, completely unaware of Lin Tianyu behind them.

Then, with a swift movement, he drew his sword. Before either of them could react, two heads flew high into the air, and blood splattered on the ground.

Lin Tianyu had no hesitation. He grabbed Changsun Dongju and instantly returned to Ye Bufan's side.

"Mom, are you okay"

Ye Bufan reached out and gently pulled, breaking the rope tied to Changsun Dongju's body.

"Son, I'm fine, just…"

Changsun Dongju looked around at the enemy surrounding her, her face full of worry.

"Don't worry, as long as you're safe, these trash won't be able to do anything to us."

Having saved his mother, Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief, the rest fading into insignificance.

Across from him, everyone was stunned. No one had expected that Watanabe Mitsuyoshi, also a member of the five great families in the Great Dog Nation, would betray and ultimately choose to stand with China.

"Mamoru Watanabe, what are you doing"

Munehide Miyamoto was screaming hysterically; he was beside himself with rage.

Not only did he fail to kill Ye Bufan, but he also lost his last trump card. Without Changsun Dongju, the Miyamoto family would probably be in danger of being destroyed today.

"It's nothing, the Watanabe family has always revered the strong. Since Mr. Ye possesses such powerful cultivation, he is not our enemy but our friend."

As per Ye Bufan's request, Lin Tianyu still did not reveal his identity. Otherwise, Watanabe Keiko would probably be unable to stand in the Dainihon country.

“Yes, the Watanabe family supports our ancestor's decision.”

Kei Watanabe immediately chimed in, voicing her agreement and standing by Ye Bufan's side with the rest of the Watanabe family.

Although Watanabe Daisuke and others were somewhat surprised, this was the ancestor's decision, and they did not have the courage to question it.

Shameless...

Munehisa Miyamoto was gritting his teeth in anger, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Desperately, he turned his head to look at the two powerful families, Tanaka and Sato.

"Two heads of the family, please help our Miyamoto family avenge us and kill this Chinese man together."

"Don't worry, Master Gōmoto. A Chinese man wouldn't dare to run wild in our Great Dog Nation just yet."

Satō Kawa first stated his position.

Tanaka Ryosuke followed up, "That's right, we absolutely cannot let this Chinese person return home alive today, or where will the five aristocratic families put their faces"

In fact, both the Tanaka family and the Sato family are old foxes. They started with the attitude of conserving their strength, so they didn't rush to make a move.

They didn't expect the situation to change so drastically, exceeding their expectations. In just a short time, the Gongben family was nearly crippled, and the Watanabe family had taken their place opposite them. Of the four major families who came here, only these two remained intact.

However, they were not too panicked. Although Ye Bufan displayed astonishing combat strength, the Yin-Yang Master family had its own unique methods of dealing with enemies, and moreover, it was a joint effort from two influential families.

"Please, Ancestor, strike down Ye Bufan."

Tana Kazuhiro, having said this, turned his head to look back at Tana Masao.

At the same time, Sato Kishi also bowed to Sato Tomohisa and said, "Please, ancestor, kill Ye Bufan."

"Please, Ancestor, kill Ye Bufan."

Both families have now spoken as one, harboring both hatred and fear for this Chinese man. All their hopes are now pinned on the ancestors of their respective families.

"Tanaka, let's make a move together and show this kid the power of our Onmyoji family."

Sato Tomokazu walked over with his feet seemingly defying gravity. Although they were all cultivators, reaching the Saint rank allowed them to manipulate the vital energy of heaven and earth as well.

“Well said, today old man will let him see the skill of our Onmyoji.”

Tanaka Masao also stepped forward, and reached into his bosom to pull out a small box.

The box wasn't large, entirely black and engraved with strange patterns. It resembled a woman's jewelry box, yet it gave off an eerie feeling.

"Is this the Devouring Heaven Box"

After seeing the small box, Watanabe Keiko couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Tanaka Masao gave a sinister smile: "Little girl, you still have some knowledge, but your Watanabe family has betrayed our five great families. Go to die with the Chinese!"

"Kaede Watanabe turned back and said, "Ye Jun, be careful. This Swallowing Heaven Box is a treasure of the Tanaka family, and it's said to be incredibly powerful."

Ye Bufan's divine sense swept over it, this box was indeed good, but it was only at the level of a low-grade spiritual treasure. This level of magic weapon couldn't do anything to him.

He smiled calmly: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Foolish Chinese people, I hope you can still laugh later."

Seeing his precious belongings being scorned by the other party, Tanaka Masao's heart flared with anger. He snapped open the small box lid.

As soon as the lid was opened, a wisp of black smoke drifted out.

This kind of smoke was very different from ordinary smoke. It was as black as ink and seemed to absorb all light.

Then came a scene that would be etched in everyone's memory forever. The black instant spread, engulfing the entire Miyamoto family in the blink of an eye.

Darkness, an endless darkness, like a monstrous beast with its jaws wide open, ravenously devoured the surrounding light.

Everyone felt a sudden darkness, as if the world had been plunged into night. It was just bright sunshine moments ago, now it's pitch black.ultivators scanning over us, but they didn't linger, quickly shifting their attention to the next target.It's clearly the strong cultivators of Lingxiao Sect who have made their move.
