"Yes, Master..."
Upon hearing Miyamoto Musashi's instructions, the young man immediately and respectfully responded, while also slowly retreating from the room.
Judging by his address, it seems he should be a disciple under Miyamoto Musashi. Now that Miyamoto Musashi is lying in bed, it appears that all matters have been entrusted to this disciple's hands. He is undoubtedly the most trusted confidant of Miyamoto Musashi...
However, when the young man left the room and moved far away, Miyamoto Musashi, who was lying on the bed, slowly lifted the quilt, climbed out of bed, and walked to the window, casting his gaze upon the waterfall.
From his actions, it seems his legs are still functioning well, although there might be a slight stiffness indicating some minor impact, it's definitely not to the point of paralysis.
Moreover, judging from his inquiries to the young man, it seems he has set a trap, waiting for Kawada Musashi and his son, and the grandmasters of the Yagyu and Ando families to fall into it.
But daring to design such a scheme certainly indicates a lot of confidence in his own abilities. After all, within the entire martial world of Japan, there are only a handful of experts capable of killing Miyamoto Musashi.
Among his enemies, Kawada Musashi can be ignored. Unless it's the Yagyu family's Yagyu Killing God or the Ando family's Ando Kiyomi, no one else can threaten him.
Even though his body currently has some minor issues, he does not take the impending assassination to heart!
...
Miyamoto Musashi is confident in his abilities and unconcerned about his safety, but this does not mean his disciples can be as powerful as he is.
For instance, the young man who just walked out of Miyamoto Musashi's room was soon blocked by a group of strangers after moving away from Musashi's residence.
"Ichiro Ishikawa... a master-level peak expert, the second top expert under Miyamoto Musashi, and currently the most hopeful candidate of the Musashi School to reach the Grandmaster level!"
The people stopping him were naturally Qin Fang and his group. Looking at the skilled young expert in front of them, Qin Fang uttered his profile very familiarly.
This information was obtained from Kawada Musashi, but part of it was also derived from Qin Fang's scouting skill, all about this Ichiro Ishikawa in front of them.
For a young expert with the most hope of reaching the level, yet still just the second top expert under Miyamoto Musashi, it indicates that Miyamoto Musashi also has a grandmaster-level expert under him.
However, Kawada Musashi was clearly unaware of this, or perhaps that old man concealed this fact, but regardless, Miyamoto Musashi hasn't exposed his strongest disciple.
At the very least, as Qin Fang strolled through, within this expansive building, only this Ichiro Ishikawa stood as the top expert under Miyamoto Musashi.
A quasi-grandmaster-level expert is definitely a top-notch master. Even Monk Wukong couldn't help but frown seeing this expert.
Even among the master-level peak, there are differences, such as the noticeable gap between Ji Xiang, Monk Wukong, and Qin Fang.
Qin Fang and Monk Wukong are both at the master-level peak yet are already half-step grandmasters, while Ji Xiang is slightly less advanced. However, this Ichiro Ishikawa is comparable, perhaps even more profound in his skills than Qin Fang and the others...
Given his age, he's older than Monk Wukong by five or six years, and more than ten years older than Qin Fang!
Qin Fang was not bothered by this. Although Ichiro Ishikawa's abilities are strong, he has now become a trapped bird in front of Qin Fang and the others.
Five people, one grandmaster-level expert, two half-step grandmasters, and two at master-level peak... such a lineup would make even grandmaster-level experts retreat, let alone a half-step grandmaster!
"Who are you?"
Seeing Qin Fang and the others, Ichiro Ishikawa's expression was quite unpleasant, cautiously remaining vigilant while gradually stepping back.
"Mister Ishikawa, if I were you, I would comply obediently. This way, you might have a chance to live... if we take action, don't expect to survive, and you might not even keep your whole body!"
Ichiro Ishikawa's subtle actions were also noticed by Qin Fang, but he didn't care, as Ichiro Ishikawa was just a minor character.
Whether he escapes or not, at most, he would report back to Miyamoto Musashi... Qin Fang was here to deal with Miyamoto Musashi anyway, so whether the news was reported didn't matter.
Of course, since this Ichiro Ishikawa is the most promising disciple under Miyamoto Musashi to reach the grandmaster-level tier, from the moment he encountered Qin Fang and the others, Ichiro Ishikawa's life was as good as lost...
"Baka..."
That's what Qin Fang thought, and the others, including Hattori Sanzo, felt the same. If they couldn't capture Ichiro Ishikawa, they might as well just die ashamed.
However, Ichiro Ishikawa didn't see it that way. This young man roared angrily, then his body moved slightly and disappeared mid-air, vanishing...
This is a ninja!
And Ichiro Ishikawa is a half-step grandmaster-level ninja, invisible in a unique place like the Musashi School, making it impossible to find any trace.
"Mist Stealth..."
The unique environment of the Musashi School, shrouded in clouds and mist, created a special ninjutsu skill of the Musashi School, especially the invisibility skill, known as "Mist Stealth."
Mist Stealth wasn't originally very powerful and had significant flaws, but now it's incredibly renowned, greatly due to Miyamoto Musashi, who perfected it to an unbelievable level...
"Idiots~~"
Unfortunately, Qin Fang is the nemesis of ninja!
Ichiro Ishikawa had almost fully inherited Miyamoto Musashi's Mist Stealth, making him almost flawless in his invisible state, yet to Qin Fang, it was no different from not being invisible!
Without wasting words, Qin Fang swiftly took several steps forward, covering a distance of several meters in an instant, then reached into the void grabbing...
Then he harshly swung behind him and saw the previously empty void suddenly producing a living person thrown out by Qin Fang...
Poor unlucky guy didn't have a chance to prepare, his entire body was thrown straight towards Song Qingshan!
At this moment, Song Qingshan rarely showed a wicked smile, while waving his extremely sharp Xuanyin Divine Claw, waiting for this unlucky guy to land...(To be continued.
