Chapter 16 A shocking reversal, Kaigaku is about to explode with anger!
"Breathing Technique of the Mist, First Form: Drifting Mist from Afar!"
Muichiro's body seemed to transform into a cone-shaped mist that blew towards Kaigaku, carrying a chilling killing intent.
"Ha, overestimating yourself!"
With a cold laugh, Kaigaku sheathed his katana and, having switched to Nichirin Blade, vanished from his spot in an instant.
"Thunder Breathing Technique, Third Form: Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder!"
The slash, which spun rapidly around Muichiro, was accompanied by a phantom of lightning flashing wildly.
Muichiro followed in his brother's footsteps in an instant, his tendons in both hands and feet being severed in a flash.
At the same time, the fragile wooden sword was cut into several pieces in an instant and fell to the ground.
There was no way around it; the difference in their abilities was simply too great.
Moreover, Kaigaku at this time has stronger physical attributes and internal energy, so his actual combat power may be stronger than Upper Moon Six Kaigaku in the original work.
thump!
The sound of collapsing to the ground was heard. Muichiro tried to struggle to his feet, but he couldn't get up no matter what he did.
"A genius who dies is no longer a genius."
With a mocking tone, Kaigaku pointed the tip of his Nichirin Blade at Muichiro's heart, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"No!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Muichiro's older brother, Yuichiro, reached the peak of his anger, and a vision of lightning appeared around his body.
At this crucial moment, Ichiro actually managed to learn the Thunder Breathing Technique, which he had been struggling to master for many days!
Unfortunately, his tendons in his hands and feet had been severed by Kaigaku, so even though he finally learned the Thunder Breathing Technique, he still couldn't stand up and do anything.
It could only crawl on the ground, desperately wriggling towards Muichiro like a worm, trying to save its younger brother.
But this action caused his wound to reopen, and blood gushed out, staining the ground red.
"Oh."
With a cold laugh, Kaigaku withdrew his gaze and plunged his Nichirin Blade into Muichiro's heart without hesitation.
But in just a moment, a voice that was both strange and familiar rang out from Kaigaku's mouth.
"Kaigaku, what on earth are you doing?!"
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, both Ichiro and Muichiro's pupils suddenly contracted.
thump!
Kaigaku knelt down facing the direction of the mansion deep in the mountains and explained:
"Lord Li Ke, Ichiro and Muichiro have sensed something and want to become traitors and escape."
Once I discovered them, I immediately blocked their way and prepared to execute the traitor. I will report back to you in person later.
"I didn't expect you to have noticed what was going on here, sir. It seems I don't need to report this to you in person."
As he spoke, Kaigaku pretended to be a loyal subordinate, but in reality, he was extremely flustered.
That damned Li Ke actually noticed this matter. When did he start paying attention to it?
Was it when he was quietly guiding Ichiro to discover the 'truth' a week ago that he started paying attention?
Or was it something he was watching when he observed the two fleeing individuals?
The unknown answer made him tremble with fear, and he felt deep regret.
She regretted being jealous of Muichiro and impulsively set up a trap to kill him, which ultimately backfired.
However, at that moment, the three people kneeling on the ground heard a soft footstep.
They discovered that Li Ke was walking over with an umbrella, and surprisingly, he hadn't left any footprints along the way.
Leave no trace in the snow!
This is a sign that one must possess extremely profound internal strength and a very high level of lightness skill.
If it were shown in the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, it would be enough to make Li Ke famous throughout the martial arts world.
Upon seeing Li Ke approaching, Kaiyue became even more nervous, his heart pounding in his chest.
Beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but the continuous drizzle made it impossible to tell whether they were sweat or rain.
"Lord Li Ke, please eat with me and release Muichiro!"
Upon seeing Li Ke approaching, Ichiro shouted loudly, and then, as if wriggling, he crawled over.
"I don't eat people, Ichiro."
Seeing Ichiro completely misled by Kaigaku's exploitation of information asymmetry, and convinced that he was a man-eating demon, Li Ke felt somewhat helpless.
However, even in the face of this situation, Li Ke still had a way to break the deadlock, so he turned to look at Kaiyue.
"Kaigaku, where were those eliminated orphans sent?"
Upon hearing this question, Kaigaku's heart skipped a beat, but he still dared not lie:
"Sir, as you commanded, those orphans have been sent to an orphanage in Tokyo."
I will send you the list of addresses later.
Upon hearing this, both Ichiro and Muichiro widened their eyes.
Didn't Kaigaku say he would send those rejected orphans to the orphanage in the town at the foot of the mountain?
Why are they saying now that he was sent to an orphanage in Tokyo?
What exactly happened?
What is the truth?!
In that instant, Ichiro recalled the unfriendly look Kaigaku had given Muichiro.
And just now, Kaigaku lost his composure and shouted that he couldn't tolerate anyone being more talented than him.
He instantly realized that this was a trap deliberately set up by Kaigaku out of jealousy that Muichiro was more talented than him, and that he had deliberately set up this murder trap for the two brothers.
Their aim was to use the pretext of them becoming traitors to justify killing the two brothers!
"You actually misled me, making me mistakenly believe that Lord Li Ke is a man-eating demon, and made us flee from here."
In the end, they used the pretext of executing a traitor to kill us all. What a vicious scheme, what ruthless methods!
Upon hearing Ichiro's hateful words, Kaigaku was so angry that he wanted to tear Ichiro to pieces on the spot.
This guy actually guessed the truth and even exposed it. What should he do next?
Kaigaku was extremely anxious and wanted to kill Ichiro on the spot to shut him up.
But he dared not move, for he knew all too well how terrifying Li Ke was.
"elder brother."
After his brother's explanation, Muichiro finally understood the reason for the incident and then glared angrily at Kaigaku.
Muichiro, as the person directly involved, couldn't possibly be unaware that Kaigaku disliked him.
But no one expected that Kaigaku would go to such lengths, setting up this deadly trap out of jealousy of his talent!
At the same time, he also knew that his two brothers had misunderstood Lord Li Ke, actually mistaking him for a man-eating demon.
"Ichiro."
Upon hearing Li Ke's voice, the three people present turned their attention to him.
"You guessed right, I really am a ghost!"
"Well!"
Both brothers, Ichiro and Muichiro, were stunned by Li Ke's words.
After they realized the truth, they felt guilty that they had misunderstood Lord Li Ke, mistakenly believing him to be a cannibalistic monster.
Now, Lord Li Ke is claiming to be a ghost. Faced with this shocking reversal, both of them felt their brains go blank.
Because of this one night, they received too much information, and the information was so contradictory.
It's really driving them crazy; they don't know who to believe.
However, Li Ke's next words stunned them once again.
"Do you want to live or die?"
