Yagyū Suke was defeated!!!
The news simply couldn't be contained, and it burst forth throughout the Japanese martial arts world after the Hall Masters of the three major factions met with Yagyū Suke.
Countless people were shocked that Yagyū Suke, the strongest first battle general of the Aokuchi group, had failed to kill Ye Qiu.
Moreover, Yagyū Suke had fled back, while Miyamoto Ryūmu had met his demise in Huaxia.
Just how terrifying was this Ye Qiu that even seasoned martial artists couldn't kill him? The news swept through the Japanese martial arts world like a hurricane.
If the deaths of Taniguchi Shiroichi and Qian Zang had led the Japanese martial arts world to regard Ye Qiu as a not-yet-mature formidable enemy, with some youngsters still eager to fight him and gain fame, then the death of Miyamoto Ryūmu and the escape of Yagyū Suke back to Japan had firmly established Ye Qiu's formidable reputation in the Japanese martial arts world.
