Chapter 241: Accelerated Enhancement of Swordsmanship Talent (I)
A dead silence descended on the hall.
The broken fragments from the internal force stream riddled the entire hall with holes.
Fortunately, the people who dared to participate in the Asou clan’s recruitment were at least at the warrior realm. The strength of the internal force fragments that were no longer being controlled was not of much threat to these people.
The receptionist who had been welcoming the visitors had already left the hall, so there were no casualties.
However, the people in the hall were drenched in cold sweat from the shocking turn of events, and those whose heads had been muddled felt as if a veil had been lifted in their minds.
When their thoughts cleared up and returned to normal, they immediately realized that something was amiss.
At this moment, these people were no longer shocked. Instead, their bodies were trembling and weak. They realized that the Asou clan had used sex appeal as bait to set up a trap.
“Who exactly are you!”
A panicked expression appeared on Asou Nishiko’s face.
With a flick of his finger, Chen Yiming seemed to have turned the tables on life and death. The scene replayed in her mind, and time seemed to have stopped.
It had to be known that her uncle was not some random person, but a famous katana expert from Japan. However, he was actually killed by this young man with just one casual move.
Even her father, who was at the peak of the warrior realm, could not do it. This was unimaginable.
“You foreigners came to the Daxia Kingdom to do some shameful things,”
......Chen Yiming said calmly as he walked over to Asou Nishiko’s side. He picked up a plate of Japanese sushi from the small wooden table. The sushi looked exquisite, and the ingredients used to make it were of a high quality.
He threw it into his mouth. After chewing for a moment, he continued, “It’s not bad. It’s better than I expected.”
Compared to the Japanese sushi in his previous world, the quality of the ingredients obtained from the mutant beasts was undoubtedly higher.
After tasting the sushi, Chen Yiming said, “Can you tell me now how you enslaved these people?”
With the strength he had demonstrated with his sword attack, no one could ignore Chen Yiming’s words.
At this moment, even if the head of the Asou clan was here, he had to show sufficient respect to Chen Yiming. This also gave the people who had been bewitched the confidence to resist any further attacks.
“Witch, what exactly does the Asou clan want?”
After the people recovered, they questioned her loudly.
“Witch, tell us the truth. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving Jiangnan City,” another person said angrily.
Just the thought of it was terrifying. These people had not really wanted to join the Asou clan.
The Asou clan was not a faction of the Daxia Kingdom. How could it be so attractive to them?
The real purpose was nothing more than the fact that these men who had some power were led by their lust and wanted to check out the appearance of the beloved daughter of the Asou clan who had been mentioned on the signs.
It had to be known that the Asou clan was a large clan in Japan. The girl that the clan was revealing as the face of the clan was definitely not just an ordinary beauty.
If not for this young man, something big would have happened.
At this moment, Asou Nishiko also regained her composure and said coldly, “Sir, you are indeed powerful, but don’t go overboard. The Asou clan is led by someone at the peak of the warrior realm.”
These words were not only meant for Chen Yiming, but also for the other people that she had secretly bewitched.
As expected, “…” The warriors who had been bewitched earlier fell silent and lost their confidence.
Everyone knew very well that as long as the powerful Chen Yiming wasn’t around, they weren’t qualified to fight against the Asou clan. Even without the help of the head of the clan, who was at the peak of the warrior realm, Asou Nishiko could handle them alone.
Other than that, many people had quietly backed down. They did not want to be involved in whatever happened next.
“Look at them. Do you still need to ask for an answer?”
Asou Nishiko’s lips curled into a seductive smile that was filled with an endless amount of temptation.
She stood up and walked over to Chen Yiming’s side. She suddenly sat in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Japan paid more attention to the status of people than the Daxia Kingdom, and they respected those who were stronger.
Chen Yiming had easily killed the second strongest member of the Asou clan with a single move using his Sword Aura. Without a doubt, he was more valuable than everyone else present.
Under the influence of the Japanese mindset, Asou Nishiko did not mind sacrificing herself to win him over for the sake of her clan.
“If you continue talking nonsense, I’ll kill you with one strike.”
Chen Yiming remained calm and composed.
He ignored the people who wanted to leave. After all, they were not related to each other and did not know each other. They could be considered lucky to have been saved by him.
“I don’t know if you’re really confident or stupid to let me get so close to you,” Asou Nishiko said coldly as her smile suddenly disappeared.
As she spoke, a ghostly wail echoed through the hall.
None of the people who had retreated to the door were spared. They were all affected by an even stronger force than before. Their eyes became dull, and their footsteps became unsteady. Then, they fainted and fell to the ground.
This cry was not really a sound, but an attack aimed at the mind. Therefore, it was useless even if one covered his ears. He could only rely on his willpower to withstand it.
However, those who had been bewitched before clearly did not have enough willpower to withstand it.
“Interesting.”
Chen Yiming didn’t panic at all. Instead, he hugged the girl even closer to him.
Due to the influence of the movies from his previous world, since this Japanese beauty had taken the initiative to offer herself to him, he felt that he had no reason to remain a gentleman.
He glanced at the girl locked in his arms. The pink petal mark on her cheek was glowing.
This eye-catching petal was the way for her to activate her special ability. However, Chen Yiming, who could maintain a spiritual figure in his mind, was not affected by it at all.
He turned his gaze to the eaves of the house at the doorway. A fox made of black smoke was standing there.
The fox had a fierce expression, and the black smoke surged from its body. It did not have a physical presence, and many mixed emotions could be felt from it.
“You…”
Asou Nishiko’s mouth opened slightly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She was only an ordinary warrior, so it was naturally impossible for her to break free. What shocked her the most was that the person beside her was completely clear-headed.
It had to be known that even the head of the Asou clan, who was at the peak of the warrior realm, could not remain unaffected at such a close range.
The fox formed by the black smoke was on the same level as the peak of the warrior realm in terms of spiritual strength.
“Aren’t you going to explain?” Chen Yiming asked calmly.
When Asou Nishiko heard this, her body trembled. She was really afraid now and had completely lost her composure.
Using spiritual attacks, if she did not achieve the desired effect the first time, she could basically declare it a complete failure. There was no need to try a second time.
At this moment, the fox formed by the black smoke jumped down from the roof and charged at Chen Yiming, who was hugging Asou Nishiko.
“It’s not completely under your control?”
Chen Yiming was surprised.
In the blink of an eye, before Asou Nishiko could reply, the fox formed by the black smoke had already closed in.
“Slash!”
Chen Yiming let out a low grunt and slashed out with his Sword Aura.
The speed of the Sword Aura was extremely fast. The fox formed by the black smoke wanted to leap up and dodge it, but it was struck without any hesitation.
The Sword Aura was able to destroy anything. The fox formed by the black smoke was reduced to ashes on the spot. Not even a trace of evidence of its existence was left behind.
“Ah!”
Asou Nishiko’s body trembled violently and she let out a scream.
Her face was pale and her entire body was weak. She had instantly lost most of her spiritual energy and looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
At the same time, the pink petal mark on the left side of her face broke apart and disappeared into the air.
Suddenly, the martial arts talent panel automatically appeared.
Fortunately, only Chen Yiming could see the interface, so Asou Nishiko did not discover his greatest trump card.
“Eh?”
Chen Yiming couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Skill Points needed to increase his swordsmanship talent had been reduced by 100 points.
