Clang!
At the critical moment, Lin Lang thrust his sword out like lightning, striking Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's blade squarely.
Their true qi erupted. Yagyu Tajima-no-kami retreated two steps, but Lin Lang remained where he stood.
Yagyu Tajima-no-kami stared at Lin Lang in shock. His God-Slaying One-Sword Slash was his strongest supreme technique. He had spent years constantly increasing this slash's power, and no one had ever blocked it.
He had indeed suppressed Lin Lang just now and thought victory was assured.

But a powerful presence suddenly surged behind him. "Someone from Nihon dares run wild in the Central Plains? Then stay here!"
Ren Woxing struck at Yagyu
