Compared to others, the emotions stirring within Yagyu Jyugong at this moment are akin to a tempestuous storm!

His reputation as one of the Four Sword Saints of Japan is certainly not for nothing.

Until today, he hadn't exchanged blows with Su Fan.

Yet in a very short time, Su Fan found a way to suppress him.

It seems like Su Fan can anticipate every strike he makes and effectively counter it.

As the fight proceeds, Yagyu Jyugong becomes increasingly alarmed. Continuing like this, he sees no hope for victory.

To secure victory, he has but one option.

That is to break through himself in this critical moment!

His Sword Dao has not progressed for many years.

But he can feel that he is only one thin barrier away from advancing further.

For some unknown reason, he's never been able to take that step.

This time, his opportunity has arrived!

Between life and death, there is great wisdom, great courage, great breakthroughs!

While continuously swinging his blade, Yagyu Jyugong silently roars inside: "Break through for me!"

After exchanging moves with Yagyu Jyugong for a moment, Su Fan senses something amiss.

He quickly realizes it's because his opponent is seeking a breakthrough.

Previously, he intended to swiftly eliminate the formidable foe before him; upon sensing the opponent's intent, he was even more cautious not to let his guard down.

"Ding ding dang dang!"

Where they battle, the clash of blades continuously sparks and collides.

Though Su Fan has astonishingly taken the upper hand, completely taking down Yagyu Jyugong is evidently exceedingly challenging.

"Swish!"

He suddenly unleashes a sword strike, and Yagyu Jyugong channels every bit of his strength to confront it head-on!

"Clang!"

His long sword violently clashed against Yagyu Jyugong's katana.

Such clashes have been stalled for a long time.

Both are engaged in an extremely perilous duel, aiming to put each other to death.

However, neither Yagyu Jyugong nor Su Fan are clearly weak.

Their battle has reached a point where neither can claim victory.

Outside the duel, after watching for a long time, Huo Simin can't help but ask, "Grandpa, can President Su win?"

Huo Donglin shakes his head: "Difficult!"

Ordinary folks only see Su Fan and Yagyu Jyugong locked in a deadlock.

Those slightly skilled can discern that after a brief exchange of blows, Su Fan has gained a slight advantage.

However, a Grandmaster like Huo Donglin can see that Su Fan's advantage is minimal.

In a life-and-death duel, such a slight advantage cannot secure the victory.

Not only that, Yagyu Jyugong is still seeking a breakthrough.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Huo Donglin is slightly stunned, followed by a hint of joy on his face.

There's a problem on Yagyu Jyugong's side!

He wanted to find a breakthrough in the duel but failed to advance.

His surging aura has already begun to diminish.

Facing Yagyu Jyugong, Su Fan instantly realizes that fortune has favored him.

If Yagyu Jyugong succeeded in breaking through, it would have spelled trouble for him today.

At present, his strength is almost on par with Yagyu Jyugong.

If the opponent advances further, he might perish here.

But luck ultimately sided with him; after Yagyu Jyugong failed to break through during the duel, his momentum quickly waned.

"Swish!"

With another sword strike, Su Fan directly draws a plume of blood mist from his opponent's shoulder.

In Su Fan's view, Yagyu Jyugong's defeat today is assured, and the grievances with the Yagyu family can end here.

But what he never expected happens.

After getting injured in the shoulder, Yagyu Jyugong suddenly rushes toward the sea.

No one could have anticipated that Yagyu Jyugong, a Martial Arts Grandmaster acclaimed in Japan, would flee during a duel.

Especially since, in the beginning, he had firmly stated that should he be defeated, he hoped Su Fan would allow the Iwai Family to transport his body back to Japan.
