Winner Takes All

Time seemed to stop and the air was sucked away. The sudden chill was as if the doors to hell suddenly opened. Death, gore, violence...

This was what Iga TobiRyuu actually felt when he faced Jack. He had never felt the presence of death.

Jack's face was pale and frosty, without the usual warmth of a person. The veins of his face swelled and throbbed all the way to his neck. His eyes also became bloodshot. Jack was grinning sinisterly. "Die..." Jack slowly said with an indescribable voice that reverberated within the courtyard and exploded in everyone's ears.

"Argh!" Now it was Iga TobiRyuu who could not help but yelled. In his anxiety, Iga TobiRyuu's right hand still held onto the katana and almost cut into Amber's throat.

Then, swoosh! Like a swift breeze.

Jack moved like a flash and rushed forward to Amber and Iga TobiRyuu.

Bash! Quick as lightning, Jack's right hand grabbed the blade of the katana and stopped it from getting any closer to Amber's throat. The sharp blade easily cut into Jack's hand and blood squirted onto Amber's face and dripped onto the ground.

That was fast! The mysterious man and Brent were both in awe.

Although Jack was only three steps away from Iga TobiRyuu, the katana blade was even closer to Amber's neck. Even the mysterious man was unsure if he could stop Iga TobiRyuu's blade.

This situation was truly amazing! The swift movement of Jack even caused their clothes to flutter in the gust stirred up by Jack.

Amber could feel and smell the warm blood on her face as she stared blankly at Jack. Jack's ferocious expression was cold and devoid of emotions. It appeared that he could not even feel the pain.

"Fuck!" Iga TobiRyuu yelled with his eyes wide open and his right hand grabbed the katana and tried to shake it free from Jack's grip. But no matter how he tried, his blade was firmly held by Jack and he could not harm Amber.

Die! He deserved to die!

Iga TobiRyuu thought. He was a Ninja lord and he could not even shake free someone holding onto his katana.

The sword blade was right next to Amber's neck but now it could not even move a single bid.

Horror, shock... All these feelings overwhelmed Iga TobiRyuu and caused him, a Ninja Lord, to lose all confidence in himself! He had never felt like this for years.

No! From the moment he entered the world of martial arts, he advanced rapidly and he had faced dangerous situations but he had never experienced such a feeling. The horror of seeing death's face engulfed Iga TobiRyuu.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Die..." Jack frowned as he maintained that sinister grin and his eyes still stared directly at Iga TobiRyuu.

As soon as Jack said, swoosh! Jack's left hand launched towards Iga TobiRyuu.

Fast! It was lightning fast! It was so fast that Jack's hand was a blur.

Bash! Jack's fist stopped at Iga TobiRyuu's chin. Following the sound of the impact, Iga TobiRyuu released his katana and he flew away from Jack.

"Master!"

"What a violent punch! Was this... the terrifying power of an insane devil?" Brent remarked as he and the mysterious man stared in disbelief.

Lone Wolf and the dozens of guards were completely dumbfounded. Could that kind of energy come from a man? All of them shared the same thoughts!

Amber went limp and slumped onto the ground as soon as Iga TobiRyuu was thrown off. Amber's face was pale and frail and covered with Jack's blood. She also stared in disbelief at Jack.

Next, Jack stepped over Amber and was fixated on the fallen Iga TobiRyuu.

A step... at a time... He advanced like death creeping nearer to Iga TobiRyuu.

The atmosphere of the courtyard immediately tensed up and everyone was gripped with fear.

"How... how..." Iga TobiRyuu tried to get onto his feet but that punch was like a sledgehammer that shattered his jawbone into several pieces. His mind was blank and he was starting to lose consciousness. After struggling for a moment, Iga TobiRyuu finally sat on the ground. He mustered all his energy and then asked in disbelief, "How, how could your strength be... enhanced..." Towards the end, he was at a loss for words to describe Jack's strength.

Just now, he could fight evenly with Jack. But how was it that suddenly Jack managed to transform and he was now barely a match for Jack's strength! The drastic difference in strength level made him feel helpless and hopeless as he started to become overwhelmed by the pain. All these totally exceeded Iga TobiRyuu's understanding of the physical world!

He looked at the advancing Jack and his heartbeat began to race. He could feel death approaching him but he was totally helpless.

The sudden changes made him give up trying to stand up, not to mention trying to escape.

Finally, Jack stood in front of Iga TobiRyuu. His sinister grin became even more pronounced and revealed his gnarling teeth. Jack said with a gnarl that only Iga TobiRyuu could hear, "Let me... try?" Instantly Iga TobiRyuu was terrified and erupted in shock.
