Chapter 164 - A Swordswoman from Japan

Chapter 164 A Swordswoman from Japan“I’m Kamikawa Hiko, a Japanese onmyōji. I’ve had a strong interest in Chinese culture since I was a child because I know that our culture is born out of China. I always want to learn more about Chinese culture.

“I also know that Onmyōdō originated in China. So I want to join you and learn more about the real Chinese Taoism and your ancient and magnificent civilization.”

Kamikawa Hiko simply explained his reasons. Everyone before him began to nod. Wang Bugui smiled. “Then, how powerful are you?”

“I have some understanding of the oriental cultivation, and I am fortunate to improve my strength with Onmyōdō. Although my life won’t be as long as yours, my strength should correspond to the Voiding Realm of your cultivation world.” Kamikawa Hiko speculated.

“Well, can you speak Chinese?” Wang Bugui revealed a smile.

“Of course I can. Is there any related test?” Kamikawa Hiko answered in fluent Chinese.

“Very good. Since you can speak Chinese and have some understanding of cultivation, then you must understand pressure, right? I want to release some of my pressure to test you.” Wang Bugui grinned.

“Okay, please do.” Kamikawa Hiko reached his hand out, indicating that he agreed.

Wang Bugui nodded at him, and released half of his pressure. This kind of strong aura freaked out everyone behind Kamikawa Hiko.

A sense of fear from the soul instantly dominated their bodies and drove them to tremble. Kamikawa Hiko, however, only made a frown.

But, this was, of course, just the beginning. Wang Bugui gradually increased the pressure. After 15 minutes, Kamikawa Hiko’s forehead began to sweat. And at this time, Wang Bugui had already released a big part of his pressure.

Even though Kamikawa Hiko possessed the strength in the Voiding Realm, without a cultivator’s body, it was still difficult for him to withstand such a pressure.

“You can resort to Onmyōdō,” Wang Bugui suggested.

After getting permission, Kamikawa Hiko immediately took out some pieces of sign paper and recited the incantation at the same time. The paper began to burn, and an invisible power immediately wrapped around him.

The pressure on his body was reduced a lot. Zhao Changge revealed a grin, “Making up the shortcomings of their bodies with sign paper, the onmyōjis are quite similar to the Taoist sign paper users, right?”

“After all, Onmyōdō was born out of Taoism. But they also have their own magic. We will see in the future,” Wang Bugui replied with a laugh.

Then he added more pressure again. Though Hiko’s body was not strong, with Onmyōdō, he was still able to endure the pressure.

After a while, Wang Bugui slowly nodded and said, “I have a general understanding of your strength, which is equivalent to that of an advanced sage. But your body energy is insufficient. Fortunately, it can be enhanced through cultivation, so you’re qualified.”

“Thank you.”

Kamikawa Hiko also nodded, greeted everyone, and then walked over to them.

“Thank you for helping me just now in the union. Actually, you didn’t have to, but at least I can see that you are a good person.” Meiqing flashed a smile.

“It’s no big deal.” Kamikawa Hiko nodded at her slightly. It seemed that he didn’t like talking.

“Such an icy man.”

Meiqing though he was a funny man, and laughed at him. But he didn’t retort.

“Are there any other geniuses? We are waiting here. If who think you have talents, please come to join us.” Wang Bugui grinned at the people in front.

His words made the crowd speechless. His initial pressure was already beyond their ability to withstand. Who dared to stand out in the face of such a big gap?

“You can wait for a friend of mine I met in the middle of this journey. She is a swordswoman, as well as my teacher. She has a strength similar to mine, but no sense of direction,” Kamikawa Hiko suddenly uttered.

“A Japanese swordswoman? Interesting! We’ll wait,” Wang Bugui held his chin and replied.

However, a few hours passed by, and this woman hadn’t shown up yet. Zhao Changge and the others all sat on the ground and began to eat spiritual fruit.

“Hiko, does your friend just have no sense of direction? I think you’ve deceived us!” Zhao Changge yelled.

“No, I haven’t. She must be on the way. She really has no sense of direction.” Kamikawa Hiko felt very helpless.

“Oh, I’d like to see how long it will take her to get here.” Wang Bugui smiled.

Anyway, the sky was still bright, and they had enough time. In this way, after two hours, the woman still didn’t show up. However, during this period, many other people had come to apply.

“Your strength is not enough. Next one, please.”

“Lack of combat experiences. Next one, please.”

“You’re suitable to be a Treasure Hunter. Next one, please.”

“We may fight against the vampires, so timid people are not qualified to join us. Next one, please.”

…

Dozens of people went there to give it a try, but none of them were qualified. Among them, there were several A-class hunters. Perhaps they were more powerful than most hunters, but in front of these people, they were nothing.

“It’s totally dark, and that woman hasn’t come yet. How stupid is she?” Zhao Changge couldn’t help letting out a sigh.

“Eat dinner first.”

A slightly tender voice sounded. Kathy came with several deacons and maids. Each of them pushed a small dining car with many kinds of delicious food on it.

“Good, they’re not English dishes.” Looking at the food, Wang Bugui chuckled.

“After all, you come from one of the major countries of great foods. I think you may dislike the local dishes. We have hired chefs from all over the world. And this is French cuisine,” Kathy replied.

“Haha, you know that!” Wang Bugui grinned.

Ever since he had eaten Chinese food, he got to know what delicious food should be like. Compared to Chinese food, English food and American food were no match for it at all.

Now, he had the opportunity to taste French cuisine. France was also one of the three major countries of great foods. Presumably, French food would also be very delicious. Then, he began to eat with his friends.

“No chopsticks? And what’s the function of these knives and forks?” Lyu Hao touched his head and asked.

“The forks must be used to eat the food, and the knives are weapons,” Zhao Changge guessed.

“Sounds reasonable.” Lyu Hao nodded, took a whole piece of steak with the fork in front of him, and put it into his mouth. He then took a napkin, wiped the oil off his mouth, and nodded satisfactorily.

“Haha…”

“So cute.”

The maids chuckled, which puzzled Lyu Hao.

“They should be used in this way. Hold the knife in your left hand, and the fork in your right hand. Cut the steak into pieces with the knife, then put it into your mouth with the fork. But you can behave as you like. After all, you’re not used to knives and forks, and prefer to eat with great speed,” Wang Bugui explained with a smile.

“Oh, I got it. But you’re right. Men should eat eagerly and with great speed. Haha!” Lyu Hao laughed, and then continued to devour the food like a wolf.

“Haha!”

Everyone burst into laughter. Even Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe revealed happy faces. Accompanied by such a group of people, they wouldn’t feel bored at all.

“Ah! Food! Meat!”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded, and then only a black shadow rushed over.

“Who is it?!”

Feng Tianming quickly stabbed his sword toward this unexpected person, but the latter gently escaped it to Feng Tianming’s surprise, so he made another attack at once.

“Stop please. This is a misunderstanding!”

Before Feng Tianming’s sword was about to hit the person, Kamikawa Hiko uttered with a hold fist salute, stopping the offensive attack of Feng Tianming. At this time, the sword was only three centimeters away from the unexpected person.

This person was actually a cute woman. At this moment, she was holding a piece of goose liver in her mouth.

Kamikawa Hiko turned to her and said, “Misawa Chihiro, you’re so late!”

“Uh, I, got lost.” Misawa Chihiro swallowed the delicious goose liver, licked her lips, and grinned.

Her long, black hair was tied into a pair of braids. And along with her delicate facial features, wine red eyes, and the cute performance, she possessed a different kind of beauty.

Dressed in a black sailor suit with a dark-red scarf on her chest and a pair of black knee-high socks, she looked like a Japanese student.

In her hand was a samurai sword with an exquisite scabbard.

“Hiko, is she the swordswoman you mentioned?” Zhao Changge didn’t believe it. He thought she had to be a student.

“Yes.” Kamikawa Hiko nodded.

“She doesn’t look like a swordswoman at all!” Lyu Hao drew in his breath.

“Don’t judge people by their looks. She does use a sword. At least, if I didn’t stop just now, she could also put her sword against my neck,” Feng Tianming said.

As a swordsman, he could feel that this woman’s reaction was very fast. Moreover, her fingers were always at the connection point of the sword’s body and its handle, which was commonly known as the metal piece.

She was ready to draw the sword at any time. But she was also very calm. She didn’t react to defend, even if Feng Tianming’s sword was only three centimeters away from her, which indicated that she was confident she could block the sword at such a distance.

After finding out that they held no hostility toward her, Misawa Chihiro smiled and continued to swallow the food. Within a few minutes, half of the food was eaten by her.

“Aha, I’m full!”

She touched her stomach satisfactorily, smacked her lips, and then stole a piece of goose liver from the next table.

“Haha, good appetite.” Wang Bugui laughed.

“Only when you are full will you have the energy to do things.” Misawa Chihiro grinned. Her voice was very sweet.

“You’re right. Would you like to join us? We eat delicious dishes every day, including great barbecue. We will roast suckling pigs, lambs, and so on!” Wang Bugui tried to coerce her.

“Really?! Barbecue with so many kinds of delicious food?!”

Misawa Chihiro’s eyes lit up. Having no resistance to food, she was conquered immediately. She wiped the saliva from her mouth and replied, “Yes, I’d like to!”
