The black python dropped another bomb on them, “Under the order of the Patriarch of Abe Clan, he orders Sword Saint Yagyu Aida to fight Mad Southern Ye. Bring back the dignity of the Japanese!”

“What?”

Yagyu Shingen was shocked and could not hide the stun on his face, “Divine Priest, my father has long hidden his sword and no longer cares about the cultivation world.”

“Sword Saint Yagyu Aida has been hiding his sword for decades. This concerns the reputation of the Japanese. It’s time to test Mad Southern Ye’s strength. This is not only the Abe Clan’s order, but the other two Yin Yang Master Clans’ order as well!”

The black python’s tone was firm and unquestionable!

“Yes!”

Hearing this, Yagyu Shingen’s heart was in a turmoil. He reluctantly agreed.

...

Mount Fuji!

It was the highest peak of Japan that was almost 4,000 meters above sea level. In the eyes of the Japanese, the sacred mountain was the land of pilgrims with the longest history. It was also the spiritual belief of the Japanese to climb the mountain before they die.

Winter was coming, and Mount Fuji was already covered in snow. It was also the time for cherry blossoms to bloom. One after another, they filled the entire mountain.

The faint pink cherry blossoms looked like pink clouds floating on Mount Fuji from afar, causing countless tourists to be dazzled and exclaimed that the trip was worth it.

On the highest peak of Mount Fuji, the Sword Peak, it was already covered in ice and snow as the altitude was the highest. In such bad weather, there were very few people there. Even birds did not dare to cross it.

There was currently a basin of ice on the Sword Peak. The basin was like a huge hole. It was bottomless, but it gave off a bone-piercing chill. There were countless icicles standing upside down around it, shining with cold gleams.

A helicopter landed on the Sword Peak with great difficulty. When the helicopter was 20 meters away from the ground, a figure shot out to the ground.

Yagyu Shingen held a wine gourd in his hand. Without stopping, he walked straight to the huge hole in the ice basin. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Father, I’m here!”

Following his words, a low roar suddenly came from the big hole in the ice layer before him. It was like a wild beast was crazily jumping up from it, causing the ice layer above to tremble.

Yagyu Shingen’s expression changed.

It was because he could feel an extremely scorching wave of heat coming up from the hole. The wave of heat reached the ground and it was hot enough to melt steel.

However, the strange thing was that the ice did not show any signs of melting under the high temperature.

Yagyu Shingen took a few steps back and took a deep breath in. Subsequently, he threw the wine gourd in his hand into the ice cave. However, the wine gourd did not fall in. Instead, it hovered in mid-air as if there was an invisible force holding it.

Crack, crack, crack...

With a crisp sound, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the gourd that was hovered in the air. The wine inside poured out and fell into the hole.

In such cold weather, the breath of an ordinary person would freeze. However, the wine in the gourd was boiling abnormally, emitting waves of heat and a strong fragrance.

When all the wine in the gourd had dripped into the ice cave, an extremely old voice came from the ice cave, “What’s the matter?”

The voice sounded impatient yet satisfied.

Yagyu Shingen tensed his body by instinct, “Father, Takeken is dead!”

There was silence in the cave. After a few seconds, he said, “I know. You may leave now!”

“Father!”

Yagyu Shingen braced himself and said, “Takeken died at the hands of the China No.1, Mad Southern Ye. I was incompetent and could only ask father to avenge Takeken!”

“I’ve long retired my sword...”

Steam continued to spread from the ice cave, but the heat was intermittent. It was as if the person below was not at peace.

“Mad Southern Ye from China killed his way into Japan. First, he destroyed the Chiba family. Then, he destroyed the Hidemoto clan. He treated the Japanese cultivation world like nothing...”

Yagyu Shingen told him everything in detail, “The Abe Clan sent an order for father to challenge Mad Southern Ye to boost the Japanese’s dignity. The congress has the same idea too...”

The ice in the basin melted in an instant at the next moment, like a glacier collapsing. Yagyu Shingen was so shocked that he kept retreating. When he looked again, he saw a flame rising into the sky like a fire dragon.

An old man slowly walked out from the flames.

The old man had a head full of silver hair, and his appearance was even younger than Yagyu Shingen’s. As the old man landed on the ground, two white streams of light spewed from his nose, and the white streams of light actually contained traces of flames.

If an outsider were to see him, they would be shocked to discover that he was the Yagyu family’s Yagyu Aida, the legend of Japan and the only Sword Saint in Japan for up to a hundreds years!

In the past, he had defeated three world-class powerhouses consecutively with a single sword. Then, he retired his sword and lived in seclusion. Although he had faded out of everyone’s sight over the years, his reputation had not dropped!

Upon seeing this scene, Yagyu Shingen’s pupils constricted violently. He hurriedly stepped forward and congratulated, “Congratulations, father!”

“What is there to congratulate me about...”

Yagyu Aida turned back to look at the layer of ice behind him. His voice was extremely hoarse, as though he had not spoken for a long time, “I’ve hidden my sword here for decades in order to pursue the limits of power. I’ve attempted to fuse two completely different powers. Unfortunately, I’m not quite there yet. I’m still a step away from achieving that...”

As he said that, he extended his hand and grabbed at the ice and snow on the ground. A ball of ice slowly formed in his hand. If one took a closer look, they would notice that there was a sphere of blue flame frozen in the ice ball.

Several seconds later, the ice ball started to melt slowly. Obviously, it could not resist the blue flames that were frozen inside.

“Ice and fire cannot coexist. I guess it’s fated!”

Yagyu Aida let out a long sigh and did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he turned to look at Yagyu Shingen, “Tell me what happened again.”

After he heard everything, he smirked and said, “The so-called Four Yin Yang Master Clans have been getting more and more sly in recent years. They are getting more and more afraid of death. They are going to sacrifice me just to deal with the most powerful man in China.”

“Father, what do you mean?” Yagyu Shingen vaguely guessed what he meant.

“The three old monsters hiding in the shrine are feeling threatened and afraid of death. Therefore, they can only force me to come out of seclusion and work with them to deal with Mad Southern Ye!”

Yagyu Aida shook his head and sighed, “But that’s no longer important. I was born in Japan and grew up in Japan. Naturally, I have the duty to fight for our reputation!”

With that, he straightened his back and leaped into the air. He pressed his palm down on the entire basin as if he wanted to crush the peak with one palm.

“Old friend, you should come out now!”

Following his words, an earth-shattering sword cry came from the layers of ice. Immediately after, the entire basin shook violently and exploded. A green ray of light shot into the sky. It circled Yagyu Aida three times before landing in his hand.

It was a sword that was 80 centimeters long!

“It’s the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds. It’s father’s sword!”

Yagyu Shingen was extremely excited.

The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds was also known as the Kusanagi Sword and Domokari Broadsword. Legend had it when Susanoo killed the monster Orochi, he had discovered the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds in Orochi’s body!

The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds was one of the three divine weapons of Japan. Even the totsuka sword was no match for it!

“Old friend, you’ve been sealed in ice for tens of years. The world has long forgotten your sharpness and me, Yagyu Aida!”

Yagyu Aida held the hilt of his sword lightly as if he was talking to an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time, “Alright, I’ll use Mad Southern Ye’s blood as a sacrifice to your sharpness after coming out of seclusion!

It’ll also prove to the world that I, Yagyu Aida, did not fade with time!”
