...

As he gazed at the Mist-covered Musashi School gate, which looked like a fairyland, who could have imagined the cold killing intent hidden behind this beautiful scene.

The iron chain hidden in the mist is nearly impossible to spot except for Hattori Sanzo, an old acquaintance. Even Monk Wukong, who has strength comparable to Qin Fang, didn't discover it... only Qin Fang could sense it using his Scouting Skill.

One end of the chain extended to the other side of a cliff shrouded in mist, while the other end was situated at least five meters below at the bottom of the cliff.

There was a relatively spacious platform there, but it was obscured by the cliff and mist covering it. Many people might not be able to discover it at all.

This situation also made Musashi School's gate extremely well hidden, explaining its tranquility...

This hidden killing intent in the dense fog elevated the Musashi School's moderate status among the Ninja Sect, which wouldn't otherwise be considered very strong...

"Following this chain, you can go directly into Musashi School's location..."

A few people easily reached the platform where the chain was located. Hattori Sanzo explained briefly that, due to the specialty of the ninja profession, Musashi School's location is so secretive.

"Let's go!"

Qin Fang simply inspected, confirmed that the Mist Grass powder could suppress the poison gas in the mist, and without further ado, waved, leading a group to immediately climb onto the chain, speeding toward its other end.

The five of them were all experts, with even the weakest, Song Qingshan, at Master Level Late Stage. After battling Hattori Sanzo, his strength solidified even more, just a step away from breaking through to Master Level Peak...

This raid on Musashi School was part of his plan to break through to that level, so his Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover could reach its ultimate peak, being truly as strong as steel, and his strength would improve significantly again...

If he reached Master Level Peak, the power of Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover could ignore almost all attacks below Grandmaster Level.

After the previous battle with Hattori Sanzo, Song Qingshan had already withstood many heavy strikes, although it was quite challenging, this kind of experience is extremely important, and he gained significantly from it.

If he had another such opportunity, Song Qingshan felt he could handle it more easily... And if his strength made another breakthrough, it would be even easier!

The other people, although without much progress, also had gains; after all, a life-and-death battle with an Grandmaster-level expert is rare.

Besides Qin Fang, Monk Wukong, Ji Xiang, and Song Qingshan never had this opportunity; if not for the three coming together, they couldn't imagine they could resist an Grandmaster-level expert now...

Even Qin Fang himself seldom confronted an Grandmaster-level expert directly, often winning by cunning, making the opportunity rare.

"Hope everything goes smoothly..."

Hattori Sanzo walked at the forefront, followed closely by Qin Fang, staring at the drifting mist around and the increasingly clear destination ahead, Qin Fang couldn't help but have such a thought.

Even though Hattori Sanzo seemed relaxed, claiming that after Miyamoto Musashi's paralysis, Musashi School lacked powerful experts, Qin Fang didn't feel it would be relaxed at all. As Musashi School produced such a top expert as Miyamoto Musashi, it shouldn't be overlooked; indeed, defeating the opponent with their five's strength wouldn't be easy!

But Qin Fang wouldn't give up because of this; without pressure, how could the strongest motivation be harnessed?

"Who goes there?"

While Qin Fang's thoughts were scattered, some noise came from the front, accompanied by the cold voice of a Japanese guard and a few weapon sounds.

Undoubtedly, Qin Fang and his group had entered Musashi School's lair, and the guards responsible for external surveillance had already discovered them.

"It's me!"

Without waiting for a response, Hattori Sanzo spoke first, exuding an Grandmaster-level aura, causing the breath to stagnate.

"Hattori-san?"

Upon hearing Hattori Sanzo's voice and seeing him quickly and gracefully swooping like a falcon onto the ground, appearing before Musashi School's disciples.

As a Grandmaster-level expert who had visited Musashi School several times, although the disciples hadn't spoken to him, they recognized him despite feeling surprised.

"Your hand..."

Soon, the disciples noticed his hand was abnormal; it had become a severed hand...

A grandmaster-level expert is usually a local overlord, and rarely do they engage in mutual battles, let alone fight to such an intense degree.

"Hm?"

But Hattori Sanzo's eyes widened, and with a slight movement of his feet, his body instantly appeared in front of this suspicious disciple. He extended his left hand, and with a light clawing motion, he grabbed the poor disciple's throat...

"Baka!"

The grandmaster-level aura burst forth, and his gaze became extremely sharp. With a slight exertion of force, the unfortunate child turned into a corpse in his left hand!

Even having lost an arm, Hattori Sanzo remains a grandmaster-level expert, far beyond the reach of the disciple who barely counts as being at master level!

Because Hattori Sanzo acted in anger just now, and it seemed the disciple touched a sore spot, all the Musashi School disciples nearby were scared stiff and silent.

Among these guarding disciples, apart from the eliminated master-level small leader, the rest were not very strong, with not even a single master-level disciple.

Puff, puff, puff~~

Although these disciples were afraid and dared not make any moves, it didn't mean that Hattori Sanzo and his uninvited guests were going to stop their actions.

At this moment, Qin Fang and his group quickly broke into this platform, and before these disciples could notify the inside, they wiped out all the disciples.

The method was a bit brutal, but one shouldn't consider these future Musashi School ninjas as good people; many of them carried many lives on their hands.

And to avoid alerting the enemy, none of these people could be left behind...

All the master-level peak experts took action, and there's no way the ninjas, not even reaching master level, could escape. In just a few seconds, these seven or eight disciples went to meet their Amaterasu.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. This battle will be quite arduous, and brothers, take care!"

Having dealt with the guarding disciples, they would next face the true formidable enemy. Before acting, Qin Fang specifically reminded.

Everyone hesitated for a second, their gazes filled with determination, and with a calm nod, they gave their answer.

Clang~~

Qin Fang was even more straightforward, taking out the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword and directly cutting through an iron chain... effectively sealing their retreat, leaving only the option to fight to the death with the enemy!

In this battle, Qin Fang and his group would not appear collectively. Considering their unfamiliarity with the Musashi School's interior and the unclear number of experts, they would each take down sections individually!

Qin Fang, Ji Xiang, and Monk Wukong would conduct assassinations separately, while Hattori Sanzo and Song Qingshan were together. Neither of them were good at assassination, but one attacking and one defending was very sharp. Their direct offensive could have a fairly good effect, possibly attracting most of the Musashi experts' attention... providing Qin Fang and their assassinations a good cover!

Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong were not idle, as the two of them were preparing for the difficult assassinations to come...

Seeing Ji Xiang take out some powder and rub it on his face, soon transforming into another appearance. The powder he used was likely the legendary disguise powder, and it was Qin Fang's first time seeing the real thing...

But after a simple glance at the disguised Ji Xiang, aside from the eyes remaining the same, his face turned into another person's.

However, such a disguise relying on chemicals is like having a layer of powder on the face, with relatively stiff expressions, making it easy to spot flaws!

Monk Wukong was more ruthless. Despite being a monk, he took out what seemed to be a legendary human skin mask, placed it on his face, and after pinching it a few times, his face became another's.

This kind of disguise, using human skin, is hard to detect unless you closely notice the slight difference in skin color at the junction.

After Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong were ready, they all looked at Qin Fang, seemingly waiting for his reveal... As an assassin, disguise is a required skill, and they were all very much looking forward to it.

Qin Fang wasn't modest either, using no chemicals or tools. Right in front of everyone, his face suddenly changed...

Seeing Qin Fang's new face, everyone's eyes simultaneously shifted to the position... where the unfortunate child, the first one killed by Hattori Sanzo, lay on the ground as a corpse!

But that wasn't all, Qin Fang seemed dissatisfied with that face, making slight alterations to turn into the face of the black-robed priest Watanabe from the Dao Shen Sect killed by Qin Fang!

When they wiped out those Japan wanderers in the past, although they hadn't seen Qin Fang kill Watanabe, they had seen Watanabe's head, so they naturally recognized it!

"Damn!"

Seeing Qin Fang change like this, even with some psychological preparation, Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong were still bewildered by what Qin Fang had done. (To be continued.
