Chapter 744: Mysterious Swordsman_1
"Saito, Yuehua!"
After his rage subsided, Yagyu Funasai sat cross-legged on the floor and thought for a moment, then shouted towards the outside of the room, "Get ready. We are heading to Jiuzhou’s Jiangling City today!"
Saito and Yuehua were the most outstanding disciples of the Yagyu sect, among whom Yagyu Saito was also Yagyu Funasai’s youngest son.
In fact, Yagyu Saito had shown an astonishing talent for martial arts since childhood, having entered the Houtian Realm before he was twelve years old. It took him only seven years to break through to the Innate Realm, and this year, at the age of twenty-five, he advanced to the Innate Realm’s Profound Rank, becoming the youngest Profound Rank expert in the Yagyu clan.
In the Yingzhou Dragon’s Hidden List, Yagyu Saito was ranked among the top five, with an immeasurable future.
On the other hand, Shanben Yuehua, nearing forty, was long established. As the chief disciple of Yagyu Funasai, he was the second best fighter in the Yagyu sect, second only to his master, Yagyu Funasai.
At the moment, Shanben Yuehua’s martial cultivation was at the peak of the Profound Rank, barely half a step away from advancing to the Earth Rank.
Of course, the Earth Rank was not so easy to achieve; throughout history, countless experts had been stuck at the peak of the Profound Rank, never able to break through until death.
To break through to the Earth Rank often required not just hard training, but an opportunity.
The reason why Yagyu Funasai sent these two to Jiuzhou was partly to temper his son Saito’s arrogant nature. Having pride as a martial artist isn’t a bad thing, but excessive arrogance can easily lead to a dead end. Only by giving him a bit of a lesson and pulling him down a notch could he maintain humility while striving hard in his cultivation.
If the letter was to be believed, then the man from Jiangling City, Jiuzhou, Mo Han, who stole the Japanese Sword and could easily kill the Nie Family’s Great Sword Master Nie Kuangtu, was not even twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His talent must certainly be greater than Saito’s.
