Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 242: Who Is It Really?

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Who Is It Really?

Akita Shigeru immediately nodded and said, "Junzi’s purpose this time is to directly seize the enterprise of a small, rapidly-developing family in Binjiang, using it as our Akita Family’s stepping stone in China! But it seems that this small family is not as simple as Junzi thought!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Akita Shoma’s eyes finally slowly opened, revealing a sharp and seasoned gaze as he asked.

"Junzi didn’t disclose the specifics upon her return! However, rumor has it that this matter also involves Chinese Martial Artists!"

Akita Shigeru said seriously, "In the past two years, China has produced Mr. Yang, and it’s internationally rumored that not long ago, five top-level innate attempted to surround and kill this person. The result? Four died, and one fled! Although Junzi didn’t say, based on my information, her failure this time is likely related to Mr. Yang!"

"Chinese Martial Artists?"

Akita Shoma sneered coldly, "Nothing more than a scattered rabble! As for Mr. Yang, seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. I doubt it’s even true! Anyway, everything will be made clear when Junzi returns from the Great God’s hall."

"Miss Junzi, after parting in China, Yang specially came to visit!"

Just as Akita Shoma finished speaking, a resonant shout suddenly echoed from outside, ringing directly in everyone’s ears.

"Looking for Junzi? A Chinese person?"

Akita Shoma immediately furrowed his brow.

Akita Shigeru promptly reminded, "Judging by the sound of the shout, this seems to be a Chinese Martial Artist. It looks like Junzi provoked an enemy back in China!"

"An enemy? Haha, only those who can step into Chunyang Grand Shrine are real enemies! Those who can’t get in are nothing but clowns!"

One of the Akita Family’s higher-ups laughed and said, "Family Head, Lord Shigeru! Let’s continue the discussion and ignore it. Outside, there are hundreds of elite family guards stationed, all armed with guns. Even if it’s a Chinese Martial Artist, their fate would only be to be riddled with bullets!"

Speaking, that higher-up whispered a few orders to a servant nearby, then waved him off before kneeling back in his spot.

Akita Shoma and Akita Shigeru took no notice and continued preparations for the discussion.

Yet, before the two could speak, the servant that the higher-up had waved off stumbled back in a panic.

The higher-up saw this and immediately shouted, "What’s going on? I told you to send people to deal with it! Why are you back?"

"My... my lord! Something terrible has happened! They’re all dead, completely dead!" The servant stammered in terror.

Akita Shigeru furrowed his brow and scolded, "What do you mean, all dead? Explain clearly!"

"I... I..."

The servant struggled to speak, his face stricken with fear, but ultimately pointed to the door and said, "Family Head, Lords, if you go and see for yourselves, you’ll understand!"

"Could it really be a top Martial Artist from China?"

When the higher-ups heard the servant’s words, they all frowned.

However, at that moment, Akita Shigeru slowly stood up, and seeing this, everyone’s furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

With Akita Shigeru present, what could possibly go wrong?

Even if a top Chinese Martial Artist had arrived, Akita Shigeru could surely cut them down!

Otherwise, how could Akita Shigeru bear the title of one of Japan’s strongest warriors?

Thinking this, the Akita Family’s higher-ups stood up one after another, some stepping forward to assist Akita Shoma.

A group of people followed behind Akita Shigeru as they headed outside.

They wanted to see for themselves who had the audacity to come cause trouble at the Akita Family’s stronghold, Chunyang Grand Shrine!

But as the door opened, each of them froze, their eyes wide in shock, and all drew in a breath thick with the stench of blood!

From the main gate of Chunyang Grand Shrine to the door of their wooden cabin, the entire area had turned into a sea of blood!

A countless number of corpses lay sprawled across the ground in disarray, and not a single one was intact.

From the clothing on the corpses, the group could tell these were the so-called family elites mentioned by the higher-up earlier!

"Who... who did this?"

The higher-up who had insisted on ignoring the commotion before immediately bellowed with bloodshot eyes.

To form this group of family elites, the Akita Family had poured immeasurable resources into their training, and each one was as skilled as a professional soldier.

Now, seeing them all slaughtered here, how could that higher-up not be furious?

Yet, as he was about to yell further, a hand stretched out to block him, cutting off his words.

Akita Shigeru, the renowned top expert of the Akita Family, slowly raised his head and looked coldly toward a lone figure standing among the sea of corpses—a young man dressed in black with black hair.

"Who are you? Why have you come to my Akita Family?" he asked coldly.

"Who I am is not something you’re worthy to know!"

The young man, none other than Yang Tian, slowly turned around and said indifferently, "As for why I’ve come to the Akita Family, it’s naturally to kill!"

As he spoke, Yang Tian waved his hand, summoning a black crescent moon that swept toward the Akita Family’s higher-ups.

"Arrogant!"

Akita Shigeru immediately stepped forward, gripping the hilt of his katana at his waist.

Swish!

In an instant, a radiant flash of white light erupted as Akita Shigeru executed an impeccably precise Sword Drawing Slash, striking at the black crescent launched by Yang Tian.

A metallic clanging sound echoed violently as the black crescent and the katana clashed.

Akita Shigeru’s expression immediately changed.

To unleash something like the black crescent moon—a definitive energy attack—it was evident that Yang Tian was an Innate Martial King!

But Akita Shigeru, as one of Japan’s most powerful warriors, was a legendary figure capable of easily annihilating an Innate Martial King.

Yet the overwhelming force transmitted through his blade told him otherwise—Yang Tian was far from a mere Martial King; he was likely no less than a legendary expert like himself!

"Ha!"

Akita Shigeru let out a roar, finally shattering the black crescent with a mighty slash. His face was grave as he looked toward Yang Tian again and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I’ve told you, you’re unworthy of knowing!"

Yang Tian stood with his hands behind his back, unemotional, as he replied to Akita Shigeru.

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! And foolish as well!"

Before Akita Shigeru could respond, the enraged higher-up from earlier sneered maliciously.

The other members of the Akita Family exchanged mocking looks, glaring at Yang Tian as though they were staring at a fool.

In their eyes, Yang Tian’s attack had been clearly nullified by Akita Shigeru’s single slash.

What did this signify?

It demonstrated that their invincible Akita Shigeru was indeed formidable beyond compare!

And Yang Tian, before the powerhouse Akita Shigeru, was nothing more than a clown!

Yet this clown not only failed to recognize the gulf in power between himself and Akita Shigeru, but had the audacity to boast that Shigeru was unworthy of knowing his identity!

What could this be if not arrogance and folly?

However, Akita Shigeru knew the truth: Yang Tian’s abilities were far from simple, and the situation was far from the optimism displayed by the Akita Family’s higher-ups.

The weight of the impact transmitted through his blade still left Akita Shigeru’s palm trembling with soreness.

"Who exactly are you?"

Akita Shigeru did not allow Yang Tian’s attitude to anger him and instead asked again with gravitas.

At the same time, a trace of suspicion arose in his heart.

After all, there were only a few legendary Chinese experts in existence.

Luo Wenchang excelled at close combat post-corpse transformation, which clearly differed from Yang Tian’s approach.

As for other renowned Chinese powerhouses, their age didn’t align with Yang Tian’s youthful appearance!

Such a young figure possessing the strength of a legendary expert—who could he possibly be?
