Qin Heng, single-handedly, charged into the Miyamoto residence and, with a snap of his fingers, instantly killed hundreds!

Even the Innate Grandmaster Miyamoto Koyi was no match for him. The other members of the Miyamoto family, needless to say, were all cut down by Qin Heng like he was slicing through melons and vegetables!

Not much time had passed before this elite group of martial artists from the Miyamoto clan, which had stood for hundreds of years in Tokyo, Japan, was completely annihilated by Qin Heng!

Too easy!

Far too simple!!

There was absolutely no resistance at all!

"The Miyamoto clan is truly too weak," Qin Heng remarked, gently shaking his head as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground. The twenty Grandmasters from the Miyamoto clan had all come out, and all were killed by a single slap from him.

The rest were also killed by him in the snap of a finger; the entire Miyamoto clan was thus wiped out.

However, Qin Heng felt that something was amiss.

"If that's all there is to the Miyamoto clan, they definitely wouldn't have stood unchallenged for hundreds of years," Qin Heng said gravely. "The Miyamoto clan must be hiding a secret!"

A martial arts family claimed to be the strongest in Japan, with just one Innate Grandmaster and over twenty at the Transcendence Realm?

It just doesn't seem possible.

SNAP!

Qin Heng snapped his fingers. A sliver of flame appeared on his fingertip, and then with a flick, the flame soared into the sky, transforming into a ferocious, rampant fire dragon!

Spanning hundreds of meters, it soared through the air, countless fireballs raining down, incinerating everything belonging to the Miyamoto clan!

HUM!!

Finally, in a remote spot, the fire had no effect. Instead, a thrumming sound, as if the void itself was trembling, could be heard. The surrounding houses had already been burned to ashes, and within these ruins, a cyan light emerged!

SWOOSH!

The cyan light burst out fiercely, piercing through the layers of flames like an indestructible blade, slashing towards Qin Heng's head.

Qin Heng flicked his finger, tapping the cyan light.

With a bang, the cyan light flew back, hovering in the air.

It was actually a letter!

The power covering it is a form of energy more advanced than Innate True Qi, almost reaching the Mana used by Cultivators. It was likely left by a martial artist above the Innate Realm.

"A Martial Dao Saint?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel the power fluctuations contained in the letter were not inferior to those of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator!

The letter was written in Chinese, and it was evident that the writer was proficient in the language, having even used a brush.

"Mr. Xuantian, hello. I am Okita Souji.

By the time you read this letter, you must have already annihilated the Miyamoto clan. This is an unprecedented feat. Your strength and boldness are truly admirable. Originally, I wanted to fight you myself.

Regrettably, I have just broken through to the Saint Realm and need to go to Gao Tianyuan to concentrate on cultivation for some time. Your head can temporarily remain on your neck. After three years, I will come to China with Kiku-ichimonji Norimune to take your head."

HUM!

As soon as Qin Heng finished reading the words on the letter, it suddenly self-combusted, turning into a heap of ashes.

"Okita Souji, Gao Tianyuan..." Qin Heng stood in the sea of fire that was once the Miyamoto residence, shaking his head gently, his gaze cold. He scoffed, "Coward. There's no need to wait for three years. Once I find Gao Tianyuan, I will ascend and kill!"

In the letter, Okita Souji's tone was far from polite. He depicted Qin Heng as someone he could kill at any moment, placing himself in a superior, high-and-mighty position. He claimed the only reason he didn't kill Qin Heng was because he had just broken through and had to go to Gao Tianyuan.

But in fact, from the content of the letter, it was clear that Okita Souji must have left after learning about Qin Heng's strength. Moreover, Miyamoto Koyi had mentioned earlier, when they were in front of the Miyamoto's gate, that someone should go to Orchid Fragrance Hall to invite Okita Souji.

All of this is enough to prove that Okita Souji, in reality, must have fled to Gao Tianyuan to cultivate after learning of my strength. He must have realized he was no match for me, so he could only escape and leave behind those harsh words to save face.

Qin Heng frowned. However, I still need to investigate where Gao Tianyuan is.

Gao Tianyuan is the world in Japanese myth where the so-called Heavenly Gods dwell, an island floating among the clouds, home to all sorts of inconceivable deities.

Yet, it's uncertain whether the Gao Tianyuan mentioned in Okita Souji's letter is the same as the one in the myths.

"The Miyamoto clan has been annihilated; this trip to Japan can be considered complete," Qin Heng mused, glancing at the surrounding sea of flames and nodding slightly.

The backbone of Japanese Martial Dao effectively started with Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi's unmatched supremacy. Now, with the Miyamoto clan eradicated by Qin Heng, this so-called backbone naturally ceased to exist.

From now on, for a considerable time, the Martial Dao of Japan will undoubtedly be unable to recover, plunging into a state of sorrow.

They might even lose the drive to develop the Martial Dao and begin to doubt their own martial roots.

This was precisely what Qin Heng wanted to see.

"It's time to return," Qin Heng thought, turning and looking towards the direction of China.

Then, stepping on the flames, he walked among the flickering firelight, slowly emerging from the now-ruined Miyamoto family estate. He saw Meng Huihui still collapsed on the ground.

"Qin, Qin Heng, you actually annihilated the Miyamoto clan!?" Meng Huihui looked at Qin Heng in disbelief, her eyes wide and her face full of shock, almost as if she had seen an Immortal.

In Meng Huihui's mind, the Miyamoto clan was incredibly powerful, a top-tier conglomerate that could span nations!

Yet, in front of Qin Heng, they were wiped out in mere minutes, reduced to a burning ruin of flames!

Inconceivable!

It was truly too inconceivable!!

"A new era is about to arrive; such things will not be uncommon in the future," Qin Heng looked at Meng Huihui indifferently and said, "Take care of yourself."

He had no desire to bother with this woman.

If it weren't for Song Yunran's previously good relationship with her, he wouldn't even have bothered to speak to her.

After vaguely warning her, Qin Heng turned and left. He strolled leisurely, yet in a few seconds, he had crossed a distance of thousands of meters. This was a ground-shrinking technique; each step he took spanned hundreds of meters!

「Tokyo Bay Port.」

Qin Heng returned here. His previous departure had not been long, and there should still be some time before the luxury cruise ship was ready to leave.

He planned to take that cruise ship back to China.

However, upon arriving at Tokyo Bay Port, he didn't see the cruise ship.

Instead, he saw ten large Escort Ships, over a thousand fully-armed soldiers with guns in hand, armored vehicles, and even three artillery emplacements manned by the Self-Defense Forces!

As soon as Qin Heng appeared, all the cannons on the ten Escort Ships aimed at him.

The thousands of Self-Defense Force soldiers also aimed their guns at him. The weapons on the armored vehicles and the artillery pieces were all locked onto Qin Heng, ready to fire!

The loudspeaker blared,

"Qin Xuantian! You are surrounded!"

"Kneel down immediately, hands above your head, and surrender!!"
