Hearing Tsukahara Bokuden’s words, Brahma was only slightly stunned at first, then he did not object. Instead, he laughed loudly and agreed.
Among the three people, two were his current sworn enemies, the kind he would not rest until he killed. Who told these two to kill his sworn third brother, severely injure his second brother, and destroy the sacred object of their Indian religion? These two had to die!
For these two people, he had traveled thousands of miles across the sea, over mountains and rivers, chasing them for more than half a month. Was it not all for this?
And Yagyu Munenori was a great enemy from his past. They had already fought desperately more times than he could count. If he had not been lacking in strength back then, Yagyu Munenori would have died by his hand long ago.
Killing these three people would not trouble him at all. He would even welcome the chance to kill all three of them!
But the Lion King, Yagyu Munenori, and Olivia had originally been secretly pleased with the situation, feeling that their goal and plan had succeeded. Who would have thought that the situation would suddenly change so drastically? Not only did Brahma now have time to kill them, but Tsukahara Bokuden had actually agreed to it. It even looked as though if Brahma did not act, he himself was prepared to do it!
Could it be that this old fellow wanted to silence them and prevent them from revealing what happened today?
Otherwise, why would this old fellow be so eager to wipe them all out and spare not a single one?
“Run!”
After seeing how the situation had developed, the Lion King and Olivia almost thought of it at the same time without hesitation.
When facing just one Brahma, all they could do was flee in panic, with no strength to resist. Now there was also an equally terrifying old monster at the Innate level, Tsukahara Bokuden. Could they possibly hold out?
This matter really seemed to have backfired in the worst way!
They had wanted to use Tsukahara Bokuden to escape Brahma’s pursuit, and even to use Tsukahara Bokuden to kill Brahma. But who knew Brahma was so powerful that he was no longer just an entry-level Innate Gangjin master?
Moreover, Tsukahara Bokuden’s strength was much weaker than they had imagined. After stepping into the Innate realm for so many years, his improvement had not been great. As a result, killing Brahma was very difficult, or perhaps simply impossible, so he had straightforwardly given up and instead reached a peaceful coexistence with Brahma.
The two had just thought of escaping, but Brahma and Tsukahara Bokuden were one step faster. They immediately blocked their paths from the front and back.
These two had truly undergone a huge change in attitude and were now cooperating, all to prevent the Lion King and Olivia from escaping.
“You want to leave? It will not be that easy.” Brahma sneered with a ferocious look.
This was bad!
The Lion King and Olivia immediately felt their hearts tighten. With two Innate masters attacking from both sides, escape was almost impossible. They could only fight to the death!
A deadly battle, with such a huge gap in strength, meant their chances of survival were basically zero.
Compared to the anxiety of the Lion King and Olivia, Yagyu Munenori seemed much calmer. Even when Tsukahara Bokuden finally told Brahma to kill him as well, he did not appear very panicked, because he was already someone who should have been dead. In the upcoming battle with Jiang Fei, he estimated his chances were nine deaths and one life. No matter how bad today’s situation was, what did it matter?
His main purpose in coming today was simply to resolve the doubts and knots in his heart. As long as today’s goal was achieved, death meant nothing to him.
Yagyu Munenori stared sharply at Tsukahara Bokuden. He had just wanted to speak and ask the question in his heart. Before he could say it, Brahma launched an attack first.
“Thinking yourselves clever! This time let me see where you can run!” Brahma roared, his body leaping high like a giant eagle spreading its wings. His hands stirred up wind and clouds, and with the force of thunder he violently grabbed toward the several people.
The gang energy of an Innate master was unleashed to its strongest at this moment. Even a light touch could split mountains and crack stone. No one dared underestimate such an attack.
“Fight!”
The Lion King and Olivia gritted their teeth, and ruthlessness surged in their hearts. The inner energy within their bodies instantly burst forth. Their inner energy was released outward, each forming the natural way they had comprehended, and they unleashed all kinds of attacks, slashing toward Brahma’s arms from left and right, as if trying to sever the arms of a giant bird.
The two were not weaklings with no strength to truss a chicken. They were rare masters at the Danjin level. Wanting them to surrender and wait for death was absolutely impossible.
Even if they ultimately could not survive, before dying they still wanted to leave Brahma with some unforgettable pain and memories.
At this time, Yagyu Munenori was also forced to raise both hands. Around his body, invisible sword auras instantly gathered, stirring the heart and soul, and thrust fiercely toward Brahma.
At this point he could no longer help himself. It was impossible to separate himself from the Lion King and Olivia. Tsukahara Bokuden had said he wanted to kill him, and Brahma’s attack now also covered him within its range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A master at the Innate Gangjin level and three masters at the Danjin level—both sides’ attacks instantly collided and intertwined, producing a tremendous rumbling sound like muffled thunder exploding, echoing endlessly through the valley.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
An Innate master truly lived up to the name. Brahma, with the strength of one man, directly attacked and fought against the Lion King and the other two great masters without falling behind at all. He forcefully knocked the three back three steps, while he himself only retreated one step!
Of course, no matter which side it was, after one strike they quickly moved forward again and fought madly together.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sword aura, blade energy, and claws collided ceaselessly in the air. The ground shook and the mountains trembled. The figures of all four people turned into afterimages in the air, impossible for ordinary people to see clearly with the naked eye.
After all, the Lion King and the other two were all top-tier masters among the Danjin level. Even if they had not stepped into the Innate level, they all had the strength to kill ordinary Danjin masters. So when the three joined forces, their strength truly could not be underestimated. They surrounded Brahma tightly, and for a time Brahma really had no way to break through any one of them.
At this moment, the three truly worked together with one heart and did not play any schemes. Because they all knew that they were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If anyone secretly played tricks, no matter who died later, it would become a gap, and then Brahma would kill them all.
“Brahma, to deal with these three people, you surely do not need me to help you, right?” Tsukahara Bokuden watched from the side and said with a faint smile.
He did not join in. He merely stood guard in case someone broke away from the battle circle and tried to escape; only then would he act.
Brahma’s expression was somewhat ugly. The strength of these three was beyond his expectations, and for a time it really was difficult for him to win. But just as he was about to say the word “No need,” two figures suddenly drifted over from the distance.
“Uncle!” a young woman with a lovely voice exclaimed in surprise.
“Huh, what is going on! Lion King, Olivia? Why are you here?” A man who had originally been behind the woman instantly flashed forward and rushed to the front, looking in shock at the battle not far away.
