"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Lin Zhong let out a low roar behind his mask, energy surged around his body, and the Nine-Character Iga Shouguangguo Lightning was unsheathed.

"Qiang!"

The sword flashed and thunder suddenly appeared!

Accompanied by the dull and harsh sound of gold and iron clashing, the swords that were slashing at Lin Zhong all turned into pieces.

The eyes behind Lin Zhong's Prajna mask were cold and ruthless, and he swung his sword out again.

"Whoa!"

The nine-character Iga Shomitsu's three-foot blade drew a silver-white arc, carrying a soul-stirring murderous intent, just like the scythe used by the God of Death to harvest lives.

The light of the sword is fleeting.

Also lost together were several human lives.

Within a radius of two meters, except for Uesugi Kisuke and Uesugi Hideki, everyone else was killed by the extremely sharp nine-character Iga Morimitsukuni sword.

In the blink of an eye, five or six corpses were lying on the ground.

The red blood soaked the floor and soon turned into small lakes.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, causing a deathly silence in front of the door.

Hideki Uesugi stood next to Kisuke Uesugi, his expression dull and he did not dare to move.

Nine-character Iga Mamoru was pointing at his throat at this moment, with only half an inch between them.

As long as Lin Zhong moved the tip of the knife forward, he could stab Uesugi Hideki through the neck.

The reason why Hideki Uesugi was alive was not because of luck, but because Lin Zhong had no intention of killing him in the first place.

Lin Zhong never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Uesugi Hideki had no weapons in his hands and did not attack Lin Zhong, so Lin Zhong spared his life.

After a brush with death, even though Hideki Uesugi prided himself on being strong-willed and courageous, he couldn't help but feel that his limbs were weak and his whole body was about to collapse.

Lin Zhong flipped his wrist, and the Nine-Character Iga Shomitsu returned the sword to its sheath, then grabbed Uesugi Kisuke by the collar and easily raised it above his head.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Seeing the deaths of the guards, Uesugi Kisuke almost went crazy with fear and struggled desperately: "I am the eldest son of the Uesugi family, and my father is Uesugi Keitaka. You can't kill me!"

Lin Zhong said nothing and slowly looked around.

Against the background of corpses and masks, seemingly ordinary actions exude a strong sense of oppression.

The swordsman masters and Liutang sect strongmen who were rushing toward him stopped one after another, looking surprised and uncertain.

Everything happened too fast.

Less than three or four seconds had passed from the moment Lin Zhong burst into action to the moment Kisuke Uesugi came under control.

And in these short three or four seconds, the guards protecting Uesugi Kisuke were like fallen leaves blown by the strong wind, falling into pieces, causing heavy casualties.

Lin Zhong, wearing a black warrior uniform and a red Prajna mask on his face, instantly became the center of attention.

"Let me go quickly!"

Seeing that the struggle was useless, Uesugi Kisuke immediately threatened: "Do you want to bring disaster to Iga-ryu? If you anger the Uesugi family, you will never even think about stepping out of Tokyo!"

"If you dare to hurt me even a hair, I guarantee you will be dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uesugi Kisuke received a slap on the left side of his face.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound.

Several teeth flew out of Uesugi Kisuke's mouth.

The slap was so heavy and cruel that it stunned Uesugi Kisuke.

Before Uesugi Kisuke could react, Lin Zhong opened his bow from left to right and slapped him more than a dozen times in succession.

After a dozen slaps were finished, Uesugi Kisuke's mouth was full of blood, his originally handsome face was swollen into a pig's head, and his true appearance could no longer be seen.

"Shut up."

Lin Zhong looked at Uesugi Kisuke indifferently and said in a tone without any emotion: "If you say another half word, I will kill you."

Two lines of tears filled with humiliation rolled down Uesugi Kisuke's cheeks.

He shut his mouth tightly.

Hattori Hyōgetsu felt very happy when she saw Uesugi Kisuke's miserable appearance, and a smile appeared on her lips.

But Hattori Ryohei, Maeda Hanbei, Momochi Haruzo and other Iga-ryu senior officials could not laugh.

They never thought that things would turn out like this.

What about the negotiated deal?

After killing the Uesugi family's guards and beating the Uesugi family's heir, how can we still negotiate?

Especially the ferocious and angry expressions of the Uesugi family guards around them made them feel on pins and needles.

"Master, let's withdraw." Hattori Ryohei lowered his voice and said to Hattori Hyōgetsu.

"withdraw?"

Hattori Hyōgetsu looked surprised: "Why withdraw?"

Hattori Ryohei swallowed: "The situation has gotten out of control. It is obviously impossible for the Uesugi family to agree to negotiate with us. The longer we stay here, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us."

"I think exactly the opposite."

Hattori Hyougetsu's eyes turned slightly, and his gaze passed over the faces of Maeda Hanbei and Momochi Haruzo: "After this incident, the Uesugi family will look at us seriously, instead of treating us as weak people who can be bullied."

After saying this, Hattori Hyōgetsu stepped up the steps.

As soon as she moved, the Iga-ryu ninjas followed suit.

Even if senior officials such as Hattori Ryohei, Maeda Hanbei, and Momochi Haruzo were unwilling to do so, they could only grit their teeth and keep up in order to avoid being despised and isolated by their subordinates.

The guards of the Uesugi family who were guarding the gate were in a dilemma.

Uesugi Hideki's eyes changed, he sighed, and ordered a retainer next to him: "Go and inform the head of the family, he must step in to solve the problem."

"yes."

The retainer took the order and left.

After watching his retainers leave, Uesugi Hideki managed to pull himself together and deliberately walked around Lin Zhong without even looking at Uesugi Kisuke, who looked like a dead fish.

He tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said to Hattori Hyōgetsu who walked up to him: "Miss Hyōgetsu, Iga-ryu and the Uesugi family should have been friends, why did they go to this point?"

"I came to negotiate with the Uesugi family in good faith."

Hattori Hyōgetsu stopped next to Lin Chong and carefully admired Uesugi Kisuke's red, swollen and ugly face: "Everything that happens now is because Uesugi Kisuke insulted me first. I just expressed my attitude."

Hideki Uesugi opened his mouth but was speechless.

"Although several guards died, there is still room for redemption."

He decided to change the topic: "As long as you let this gentleman let go of His Highness, I guarantee the reputation of the Uesugi family and we can let you leave safely."

"Oh, I'm afraid you are a soft-spoken person and can't make the decision."

Hattori Hyōgetsu winked at Lin Zhong, and then led a group of Iga-ryu ninjas toward the gate: "Let the head of the Uesugi Keitaka family come and talk to me in person."

When the Iga-ryu ninjas stepped through the gate of the Uesugi family, for some unknown reason, their momentum suddenly became stronger, as if they had gotten rid of some shackles that had been suppressing them.

As the saying goes, if you can be a human, who would want to be a dog?

The feeling of being a human is completely different from the feeling of being a dog.

After experiencing what it's like to be a human, it's hard to be willing to be a dog again.

And this is exactly what Hattori Hyōgetsu has been pursuing.

She doesn't want to be a dog, she just wants to be a human being.
