CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 607: SKY FOLDING TECHNIQUE

"What? Wasn’t it said that he was on North Island?"

"We’ve all been deceived."

After saying that, Koizumi Hideo directly hung up the communication.

Yagyu Kenjiro’s face was instantly filled with anger as he crushed the communicator in his hand and immediately headed towards the Hattori Family Mansion.

...

"Master, a vast treasure trove has been found in the Hattori Family’s vault, among which is a secret book that I think will be very helpful to you."

After the battle, Xiao Zhan was sitting on the sofa in the hall, pondering his next steps when Hose approached him, holding an archaic bound book.

Xiao Zhan took the book, which had three characters written in Chinese on it, Sky Folding Technique!

Xiao Zhan looked puzzled; could it be a National Martial Arts Secret Book?

He opened it and began to read.

With one look, Xiao Zhan understood that this was not a National Martial Arts Secret Book, but rather a compilation of methods for cultivating the spatial attribute that the Hattori Family had been passing down.

However, the core principles were still based on the National Martial Arts Secret Book of Dragon Summer, but as the Hattori Family were ninjas, they had continually researched and innovated in this area and thus developed their own version of the National Martial Arts Secret Book.

Now it had become their own heritage secret book.

Xiao Zhan continued to read intently, and soon his eyes gradually displayed shock and delight.

Because the summarized contents were extremely practical for Xiao Zhan; after learning the various methods of applying spatial attribute, it was like receiving enlightening guidance!

Shortly after.

Xiao Zhan put down the book.

How timely, just as one feels sleepy, a pillow arrives; Xiao Zhan had just mentioned wanting to research the spatial attribute, and now he no longer needed to do the research himself—it had been delivered right to his doorstep.

The cleanup of the battlefield continued.

Xiao Zhan boldly stayed at the Hattori Mansion, not at all worried that the Koizumi Family would sit back and reap the benefits, because if the Koizumi Family really wanted to make a move, they would have done so by now.

The reason they had not made a move was clear to Xiao Zhan: he had deterred the Koizumi Family by instantly defeating Hattori Kaji with overwhelming strength.

Seeing his full combat readiness, they did not dare to act rashly, so at this moment, Xiao Zhan guessed that the Koizumi Family’s plan must be to wait for Yagyu Kenjiro to return and have a mutually destructive fight with him, then the Koizumi Family would strike and secure the real spoils without effort.

However, just as the Koizumi Family had their scheme, Xiao Zhan also had his own countermeasures.

He turned his head to Hose, "Is the Hattori Family’s Defense Array taken care of?"

"It’s done."

"Hm."

The power of the Defense Array was extraordinary. The reason the Hattori Family hadn’t managed to activate it in time was that Hose had infiltrated beforehand; otherwise, it would’ve been very difficult for Xiao Zhan to achieve victory.

At that moment, Hose added, "I’ve found that this Defense Array not only has powerful defensive functions but also possesses strong offensive capabilities, it just requires a switch, and each switch consumes a large amount of resources."

"You don’t need to ask me about this; for resources, go to Ghost Abacus, we won’t run short."

"Yes."

"Give the order to clear out all of the Hattori Family members, erase them root and branch. We’ll use Hattori Mansion as our base for now."

"Yes."

...

Elsewhere.

Koizumi Hideo had been keeping an eye on Xiao Zhan’s movements and was surprised to find that after exterminating the Hattori Family, not only did they show no intention of leaving, but they also behaved as if taking over the nest of others quite naturally.

"What on earth is this Xiaoye Shiyilang thinking? Doesn’t he fear anything, isn’t he worried at all?"

"Thinking about such things is useless, Yagyu Kenjiro will be returning soon, and we’ll know soon enough," said Koizumi Youtaemon.

Koizumi Hideo nodded, that made sense.

Then, he turned his gaze to Koizumi Youtaemon, "Father, we’ll need your intervention later."

"Hmm."

Koizumi Youtaemon looked at the screen showing Xiao Zhan, his expression somewhat grave.

Honestly, based on the strength that Xiao Zhan had displayed, if Yagyu Kenjiro and Xiao Zhan hadn’t both been greatly injured, he wasn’t very confident that he could take down Xiao Zhan without a scratch.

...

Over at Hattori Mansion.

The battlefield was quickly taken care of, and after Xiao Zhan rested briefly, he sat silently in the hall, waiting.

He believed that Yagyu Kenjiro would come soon.

Sure enough, within a few hours, Yagyu Kenjiro appeared at the entrance.

He didn’t say much upon arrival, but with a katana, he split the main gate in two.

Then he charged into the mansion, embarking on a killing spree against the people inside.

Xiao Zhan dodged with a swift movement, appearing in front of him.

Blocking his massacre.

When Yagyu Kenjiro saw Xiao Zhan, his eyes became bloodshot, staring at him as if looking at a sworn enemy from life to death, "Xiaoye Shiyilang, you’ve got some nerve, daring to stay here. I will tear you into a thousand pieces!"

With those words, he swung his katana at Xiao Zhan.

The Sword Energy was fierce and tyrannical, filled with violent murderous intent.

He had thought Xiao Zhan would have left, but to his surprise, not only did he not leave, he was staying here openly.

His rage was uncontrollable!

Xiao Zhan was unceremonious, immediately seizing the Death Demon Scythe and charging at him, and they instantly clashed in a frantic battle.

Yagyu Kenjiro’s attacks were sharp, each stroke aimed to kill, obviously honed and understood through the essence of countless battles.

After one strike, he followed with another, forcing Xiao Zhan to be extremely cautious in his defense.

However, Xiao Zhan had also climbed out from mountains of corpses; his combat experience was not much inferior, so dealing with Yagyu Kenjiro was within his abilities.

Right now, Xiao Zhan’s battle with him could hardly be called a fight; it was more like he was practicing the Sky Folding Technique!

Xiao Zhan realized that if he could master this Sky Folding Technique completely, dealing with others at the same Realm would be a breeze, without much energy expenditure.

Once again, Yagyu Kenjiro’s blade cut through the air, and his gaze towards Xiao Zhan changed from anger to astonishment.

"The Sky Folding Technique? You’ve mastered the Sky Folding Technique?"

"Is that difficult?" Xiao Zhan countered.

"How could this be!"

Yagyu Kenjiro was utterly shocked.

It wasn’t about the difficulty, but rather the impossibility of the feat. How long had passed since Xiao Zhan annihilated the Hattori Family?

Hardly more than ten hours, right?

In just over ten hours, he mastered the inherited secret technique, the Sky Folding Technique, of the Hattori Family?

He couldn’t fathom it at all.

He himself had obtained an insight into the Sky Folding Technique through his association with Hattori Kaji, but he couldn’t comprehend it at all, not even the slightest essence after several days of observation.

So, he gave up.

And this man, Xiao Zhan, not only comprehended it in just over ten hours but also integrated and fully understood it.

Was he, was he a monster?
