Volume 4: Ouyang's Counterattack Chapter 7: Master of Swordsmanship

  At night, when the neon lights first come on, the prosperous BJ city is shining with thousands of colorful lights!

  On the crowded street, Ouyang Xuan slowly drove his Audi, carefully scanning around.

  Suddenly, a restaurant sign caught his eye - 'Hai Shang Yu Jia'.

  Ouyang Xuan smiled and turned the steering wheel, and the car stopped in front of "Hai Shang Yu Jia".

  Ouyang Xuan had just stepped out of the car when someone loudly shouted: "Ouyang, Ouyang, I'm over here!"

  Ouyang Xuan turned his head and saw that Situ Jing, wearing a white casual outfit, was waving at him from the entrance of the restaurant.

  The beautiful and elegant girl's sweet smile suddenly became a picturesque landscape at the entrance of the restaurant, attracting many people's admiring glances.

  Ouyang Xuan walked quickly over and before he could even speak, was dragged into the restaurant by Sutu Jing: "Hurry up, hurry up, I've been waiting for you for half a day!"

  "Hey, just having a meal, no need to rush like that, right?"

  "How dare you say that a girl invited you to dinner and you're late, don't you have any gentlemanly demeanor?" Siu Jing retorted bluntly.

  "I didn't want to be late either, but the traffic is terrible! You know, BJ's traffic is notoriously congested!" Ouyang Xuan hastily explained.

  "No excuses, being late is being late!" Si Tu Jing said irritably.

  Ouyang Xuan was suddenly speechless, and Ren Sijin pulled him to a position on the street and sat down.

  "Waiter, bring the dishes quickly!" Si Tu Jing hastily called a waiter, handed over the menu, and then leaned back with his hands under his chin, looking at Ouyang Xuan with great interest.

  Ouyang Xuan was sized up by Sutu Jing's 'eager' gaze, making him break out in goosebumps. He smiled wryly and said: "Hey, beauty, it's not your first time seeing me, no need to look at a handsome guy like that!"

  "Hehe," Situ Jing laughed: "I'm thinking, just how formidable is the legendary QH University's number one handsome guy who can stir up a storm?"

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback and pointed to his own nose, saying: "Are you talking about me?"

  "Really!" Situ Jing laughed and kicked his leg under the table: "You're now invincible, after defeating Tanaka Koichi, you were praised as a versatile talent in both literature and martial arts, and became the number one among the top ten handsome guys at QH University, awesome guy!"

  Ouyang Xuan was speechless and smiled bitterly: "Which guy is so bored that he arranged this ranking!"

  "Cut it out, you old country bumpkin!" Situ Jing rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, saying: "Which school doesn't have a top ten most handsome guys and top ten most beautiful girls list these days? You're really out of touch!"

  Ouyang Xuan was speechless. He had never been interested in such trivial matters and smiled self-deprecatingly, saying: "It seems I'm still out of touch!"

  Suddenly, Situ Jing sighed with a face full of regret and said with some envy: "I was thinking, that day you fought Tian Zhongyi for the beauty, it must have been an exciting scene! I wish I could have been there to see it!"

  Ouyang Xuan's forehead was sweating: These girls, all day long thinking about heroic rescues and beautiful fantasies! He bitterly smiled: "Fighting? Bloody and gruesome, what's so great about that?"

  "You really have no sense of humor!" Situ Jing pouted, suddenly full of fantasy: "I'm really a little jealous of Huangfu sister, if one day some boy can do this for me too, I'll love him to death!"

  Ouyang Xuan saw that the little girl was getting more and more absurd, her heart panicked, and she hurriedly said: "Quickly look, the dishes have arrived, I'm starving to death, let's eat quickly!"

  The waiter arranged the dishes one by one and then retreated.

  Ouyang Xuan didn't say another word and started eating, having vegetables with his rice and meat with his noodles, just like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds.

  Cai Jing got angry, suddenly snatched Ou Yang Xuan's chopsticks and said with a huff: "Hey, you're so hungry, only care about eating, don't even pay attention to me!"

  Ouyang Xuan felt a severe headache and bitterly laughed: "I'm a wooden stake, just pretend I don't exist!"

  "But I'm just interested in you, this wooden head. A versatile and talented wooden head isn't something you can find anywhere!" Si Tu Jing tilted her head, looking at Ouyang Xuan with a complex gaze.

  Ouyang Xuan deeply regretted coming to have dinner with this little girl, and bitterly smiled: "I think I should clarify something, I already have a girlfriend!"

  "What's it to you?" Situ Jing sneered, rolling her eyes: "As long as Princess Huangfu doesn't marry you for one day, I have the right to like you!"

  It's finally here! Ouyang Xuan's mouth was wide open, and his mind was a complete blank.

  Xī Tū Jìng was also a bit shy and lowered her head, her jade-like hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, not speaking for a moment.

  "Haha, you're kidding, right?!" Ouyang Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hastily stood up: "Thanks for dinner, I'm full, something's come up so I'll take my leave first. Bye!"

  Having said that, Ouyang Xuan's footsteps were swift and he hastily departed into the distance.

  "Hey, you wooden head, you really ran away!" Watching Ou Yang Xuan escape like a wisp of smoke, Si Tu Jing stomped her foot heavily in anger.

  Suddenly, Situ Jing smiled with interest: "I didn't expect that when he was fighting, he would be so majestic and yet so pure in his emotions. I'm getting more and more interested! Situ Jing, go for it, you won't lose to anyone!"

  Thinking of this, Situ Jing became happy, kicking her feet and humming a tune, eating slowly and savoring her meal alone.

  In the Audi, Ouyang Xuan's heart was still racing wildly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, what kind of world is this? Nowadays, girls are getting bolder and bolder, it's really... annoying!"

  Ever since he obtained the magical blessing of Huo Shen Zhu Rong, his troubles have been one after another. Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but feel miserable and thought to himself: "Is this what they mean by 'Heaven will surely visit a great calamity on him who is too fond of ease; it is only by hardship that he can arrive at greatness'?"

  "Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. From now on, I won't be able to see Ou Yang Jing again, otherwise trouble will arise!" Ouyang Xuan made up his mind, he's not a person who can have two boats at the same time, so it's better to cut off cleanly!

  The Audi slowly approached the QH University, and Ouyang Xuan's mood also gradually calmed down. Suddenly, just as the Audi had turned into a small alley, a Buick car suddenly darted out from inside and stopped straight in front of the Audi.

  "Screech——" Ouyang Xuan was shocked, and he slammed on the brakes. After a ear-piercingly loud screeching sound, the Audi came to a stop just over a meter away from Beike.

  Ouyang Xuan's anger soared, he opened the car door and got out, shouting at the Buick driver: "Hey, how are you driving? Do you want to die!?"

  "Bang" - The Buick's car door suddenly opened, and a calm-faced, slender man got out.

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback and saw that the man was actually wearing a Japanese kendo uniform, which looked particularly out of place on this quiet night.

  "Are you Ouyang Xuan!?" The man's voice sounded very stiff.

  "Japanese!?" Ouyang Xuan furrowed his brow and asked.

  "Yes, I'm Mitsui Toshio!" The Japanese man nodded.

  "What are you looking for me?" Ouyang Xuan instinctively felt something was wrong.

  "Did you hurt Tanaka Koichi?" Mitsui Toshio asked directly.

  Ouyang Xuan suddenly understood and sneered, "Oh, I see. So it's about revenge! Hmph, I thought Tanaka Hirokazu was a man. But I didn't expect that Japanese people are just Japanese people, they can't win in a fair fight, so they'll only resort to underhanded tactics, how despicable!"

  Mitsui Toshio's face suddenly looked a bit embarrassed and helpless, shaking his head: "Mr. Ouyang, you've misunderstood Master Hirokazu! I came here without Master Hirokazu's knowledge, it was Master Hirokazu's older brother Tanaka Koji who ordered me to come! Mr. Koji has always been protective of Master Hirokazu, his only younger brother, and seeing him injured made him extremely angry, that's why he sent me."

  "Hmph, who sent you is of no interest to me. I only want to know what Tanaka Koji wants you to do with me?" Ou Yang Xuan said coldly.

  "I'm sorry, I also think this matter is not very glorious, against the way of martial arts, but I am also acting on orders for the honor of the Tanaka financial group! Yokoi-san hopes that I can defeat you and restore our Japanese people's honor!" Mitsui Toshio opened the rear car door, took out two taikos, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to take advantage of you, one knife for each person! Mr. Ouyang, I hope you accept my challenge!"

  "Entangling guys!" Ouyang Xuan shook his head with some disgust and said: "I and Tanaka Kōichi had a formal duel, we agreed not to entangle again after it was over. I didn't expect you guys to go back on your word. In that case, I don't need to show mercy either. Leave your katana behind, I'm Chinese, I don't need the trash of Japanese people!"

  "But this is unfair! You're unarmed and I have a sword!" Mitsui Toshio seemed to be a purist when it came to martial arts, stubbornly refusing to take advantage of Ouyang Xuan.

  "Stop stalling, come on! I can still beat you without a knife!" Ouyang Xuan was getting impatient and took up a defensive stance.

  "In that case, I won't be polite!" Mitsui Toshio reluctantly drew his sword and held it in front of his chest.

  In an instant, Mitsui Toshio's originally calm and stubborn expression suddenly turned serious and stern, exuding a strong aura!

  "Master!" Ouyang Xuan's pupils slightly contracted, and he became fully alert.

  "Hey!" Mitsui Toshiyuki suddenly shouted in anger, his feet moving swiftly as he rushed over.

  "Whoosh——" A sharp blade flashed a brilliant arc in the night, emitting a sudden breaking sound as it chopped down.

  Ouyang Xuan knew that the key to Japanese kendo was a single word: "fast". There were no fancy moves. To break through Japan's kendo, one had to use speed to overcome speed!

  "Hu——" Ou Yang Xuan's figure flashed quickly, avoiding the too-blade, his right fist howling like the wind, striking directly at Sanki Toshio's empty chest.

  "Brush——" Mitsui Toshio's counter-invitation was extremely fast, and the tachi in mid-air changed from a slash to a sweep, directly taking Ou Yang Xuan's right fist.

  "What speed!" Ouyang Xuan's face changed, and he couldn't help but withdraw his fist in a hurry.

  Mitsui Toshio was overjoyed at the sight, and with a flash of his sword, he formed a brilliant arc of light that swiftly slashed down.

  Ouyang Xuan was no match for the Japanese swordsman, and in a flash of lightning, he retreated four steps, then made a sudden leap to avoid the katana's deadly range!

  "What a fast sword!" Ouyang Xuan looked down at his chest, where his suit had been sliced open with a fine cut, and a serious expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

  "I am a disciple of Yagyu Munenori, the head of Japan's Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, and hold the rank of 7th dan in kendo. There are no more than ten people in all of Japan who surpass me in swordsmanship! Mr. Ouyang, Master Hongyi holds you in high esteem, I hope you won't disappoint me!" Mitsui Toshio's eyes blazed with intensity, a sign that his fighting spirit was on the rise!

  "Oh, one of Japan's top ten swordsmen? How interesting!" Ouyang Xuan calmly smiled and relaxed his muscles, beckoning to Mitsui Toshio: "Come on, I'll let you see just how formidable China's experts are!"

  "Insolence!" Mitsui Toshio bellowed, his figure flashing as he leapt forward, slashing two swift strokes in mid-air to form a cross-shaped sword net that shot towards Ouyang Xuan.

  "What?" Mitsui Toshio's knife flashed swiftly, about to split Ou Yangxuan in two, but the enemy before him suddenly vanished into thin air!

  "Here!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly appeared behind Mitsui Toshio, his left leg breaking through the air with a sharp whistle, striking Mitsui Toshio's back.

  "Thud——" Mitsui Toshio let out a stifled groan, his body lunging forward and heavily falling to the ground.

  "Hmph, even if God himself came, I wouldn't be afraid of his speed!" Ouyang Xuan sneered: "Do you want to fight again?"

  Mitsui Toshio's mouth corners slightly bleeding, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Yagyu Wind Slashing!"

  Ouyang Xuan was shocked and suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes, but it was Sanji Toshio reflecting the moonlight with the back of his knife.

  "Not good!" Ouyang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, although he couldn't see anything for the moment, but his keen senses had caught the intense killing intent!

  "This Japanese man wants to kill me!" Ou Yang Xuan was both shocked and enraged, his right fist suddenly bursting into a terrifying flame that sealed off Sanada Toshihiko's angle of attack.

  "Ding——" The razor-sharp taichi heavily plunged into the Samadhi True Fire, emitting a clear and crisp clang!

  "Bang!" In the midst of the true fire of samadhi, a fiery red battle knife emitted a terrifying glow, instantly destroying Toshihiko Mitsui's katana - a sparkling blade fragment exploded in mid-air!

  "Bang!" In Mitsui Toshio's unbelievable terrified eyes, Ouyang Xuan's right leg suddenly rose like lightning and kicked heavily on his chest.

  "Boom!" Mitsui Toshio flew back and crashed into the Buick, blood splashing wildly in mid-air, his head heavily thudding against the car.

  "Bang——""Crash……" The heavy impact instantly shattered all the glass of the Buick, and the quiet night was filled with that crisp and crashing sound!

  "You want to kill me!? Tanaka Kousei is the one who sent you to kill me!?" Ou Yang Xuan's face was filled with rage, his forehead bulging with veins, and he had already made up his mind to kill.

  "Sorry," gasped Mitsui Toshio, struggling, "I got a bit excited and couldn't control myself!"

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, and then came to his senses: for a stubborn warrior like Mitsui Toshio, once he gets into the swing of killing, sometimes he really loses all sense of proportion!

  At this thought, Ou Yang Xuan's killing intent vanished in an instant, and the war knife in his right hand also retreated into his body. He said coldly: "Consider yourself lucky, I usually don't kill people!"

  Ouyang Xuan patted his clothes and ignored Sanki Toshio, then walked towards his Audi.

  "Wait, wait a minute!" Suddenly, Mitsui Toshio made great efforts to stop Ou Yangxuan and asked urgently: "You, your knife, what's going on?"

  "This is none of your business!" Ouyang Xuan said coldly, "Please tell that Tanaka Koji, my patience has a limit. Next time he dares to send people to harass me, I will definitely go and kill him, and pull his head off! Trash Japanese."

  Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, got on the car, started the Audi, exited the alley and quietly returned to the campus.
