317: Yokota Ichiro

The person who drew the blade was the Sword Saint from Fusang, named Yokota Ichiro. Aoi Yoshiko was one of his female disciples. This time, he was attracted by the gem mine in Shan Feng Forest. He originally planned to wait for Aoi Yoshiko and the subordinates sent by Prince Lu to come here together to excavate, but a few days ago, Aoi Yoshiko completely lost contact. Yokota Ichiro had no intention of looking for her and came directly to Shan Feng Forest.

"You, follow me and mine for me!!!" Yokota Ichiro said, pointing his blade at them.

"Ah? Mine?" The three women were stunned. They didn't expect that after just escaping danger, they would fall into another pit in the blink of an eye. Coincidentally, these three women were the three leaders of Drunken Flower Pavilion: Xi Ying, Yu Rong, and Er Xi. The three of them had planned to escape together but unexpectedly all fell into the hands of the Fox General.

"No, benefactor, there are over thirty Peak martial generals like him outside. How can you fight them all by yourself?!" Xi Ying said, pointing at the Fox General.

"Over thirty people?! Hmph, they're just thirty pigs. When they meet this Sword Saint, it's one person, one blade!" Yokota Ichiro waved his hand disdainfully.

"Sword Saint?!" The three women looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief. However, under the coercion of Yokota Ichiro's long blade, the three women had no choice but to follow him out. Not long after they walked out, they encountered a Leopard Clan martial general. When this person saw the three women, he was overjoyed, naturally ignoring Yokota Ichiro in front of him. He roared and pounced on the three women. The three women had long been terrified and had no intention of resisting; instead, they immediately turned and fled. However, before they could escape a few steps, they heard a terrifying scream from behind. The three women turned around and saw a scene that made their eyes widen. The Leopard General had fallen heavily to the ground, his belly seemingly sliced open by Yokota Ichiro's long blade. Blood, intestines, and internal organs spilled all over the ground, creating an extremely bloody and horrific scene. "Oh my god!!!"

"Ugh ugh ugh... Ugh ugh ugh... Ugh ugh ugh..." The three of them were so overwhelmed by the scene that they clutched their stomachs and vomited wildly. "Enough! Follow me immediately!!!" Yokota Ichiro said impatiently.

The three women suppressed their discomfort and obediently followed him forward. Since the people Feng Guang brought were dispersed, they didn't notice Yokota Ichiro's appearance, which gave him the opportunity to defeat them one by one. He led the women through the forest, killing one or two people from time to time. By the time he reached the Wooden Vine Forest, he had already killed thirteen Peak martial generals!

The three women also truly witnessed how terrifying this man was. He only used one blade to kill, one strike per person, with incredible precision and brutality!

Most of the dead were disemboweled or beheaded with a single strike, making the scene extremely terrifying. However, the more terrifying he was, the more respect Yokota Ichiro earned from the three women, eventually even admiration and worship!

The three women kept calling him "Sword Saint" and "Mighty Man," making Yokota Ichiro laugh heartily, immensely pleased. "Lord Sword Saint, this is where the gem mine is located. Our Shadow Moon Hall has already set up a defensive line here, but unfortunately, the opponent's strength is too great, and we had to temporarily retreat. However, once our superiors send us reinforcements, we will definitely reoccupy this place!" Xi Ying said sweetly, her body still weakly leaning against Yokota Ichiro.

"Oh? When will your people arrive?" Yokota Ichiro asked.

"This... it might not be that fast. After all, our people are still being hunted, and some sisters have already fallen into the hands of these villains..." Xi Ying sighed.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless people! I don't think your people need to come! Now, you three, start mining immediately!" Yokota Ichiro said fiercely.

"Ah?! Mining?!" The three of them were stunned, their expressions immediately turning sour. They didn't expect Yokota Ichiro to save them just to make them mine for him. They had previously thought he was a hero saving beauties and had even rehearsed scenarios of offering themselves to him in their minds, only to find out he just wanted to use them as beasts of burden. "What? Didn't you understand?" Yokota Ichiro gently rubbed the cold blade, speaking coldly.

"Ah?! Understand! Understand!"

"We'll start mining immediately!"

"Lord Sword Saint, if we start mining, it's inevitable that we'll make some noise. What if that attracts their strong experts?" Er Xi asked worriedly.

"You call those pigs strong experts? Haven't you seen that they're just one blade away from my long blade?" Yokota Ichiro snorted proudly.

"This... Lord Sword Saint might not know, but I seem to have seen mecha pilots among their ranks..." Er Xi said.

"mecha pilots? Excellent! This Sword Saint has long wanted to experience the strength of mecha pilots. I didn't expect to see them here. Hmph hmph, I'll make sure they come but never return!!!" Yokota Ichiro exclaimed excitedly.

Er Xi and the other two women exchanged glances. They didn't expect this Sword Saint to be unafraid of even mecha pilots. What else was there to say? Let's get to it. Just as they were thinking of mining in the forest, they heard a voice say, "Since you want to experience the might of mecha pilots, then let me show you!"

Upon hearing this, several people quickly looked up and found more than ten figures outside the defensive line. Standing at the front was Feng Guang, with three mecha pilots in mechs behind him. The other martial generals stood further back.

Feng Guang was also speechless. It wasn't until recently that he realized something was wrong. Many martial generals were no longer responding, and along the way, he found many bodies of missing martial generals. He quickly gathered the remaining martial generals and pursued, finally catching up to Yokota Ichiro, who had been attacking them in the forest!

Yokota Ichiro raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping past Feng Guang and stopping on the three mecha pilots behind him. After observing for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Just them? Which country are these mechs from?"

"No comment! Everyone, attack together! We must avenge the fallen! Capture those three little sluts; they are the leaders of Drunken Flower Pavilion and are most familiar with the situation here!" Feng Guang would not discuss martial arts ethics with Yokota Ichiro and ordered everyone to attack together. Xi Ying and the other two had long been scared pale. How could they still believe that the Sword Saint alone could withstand so many people? They immediately turned and fled, quickly slipping into the Wooden Vine Forest. "Charge!!!" Feng Guang's people shouted, one person breaking off to pursue the three women, while the others rushed towards Yokota Ichiro. They naturally knew that this sword-wielding man was extremely strange, and only by taking him down first could they mine in peace.

The three mecha pilots were the first to arrive. Relying on their powerful mechs, they didn't even need weapons and directly attacked with their fists!
