Chapter 420: Interrupting the fight
"Master Hongo" shouted Sho in worry at this attack.
The two mastersnded on top of the small roof where the door leading to the roof was, still standing while the surrounding area was filled with electrified water. Upon a clearer look, Sho could see that despite Hongo taking the hit, he had countered with an elbow strike to the face at thest second, dodging one of the elbow strikes from Sakaki. The two masters stumbled back from the damage done to each other, with Hongo''s knife fist pulled out of Sakaki''s torso. Despite the blows knocking them unconscious, the two began to furiously fight once more, ignoring their injuries.
However, what shocked Sho the most was that despite that the two masters were now just a great lump of martial artists with karate as their main style, despite the fact that his master was still aiming to kill, was that Sakaki, even when unconscious, wasn''t aiming to kill. He imagined that if unconscious, a martial artist would fight to kill with their heart removed from the equation. A heartless fist, just like Yami and the Kuremisago n had taught him. Yet right now, Sakaki proved that even when unconscious, his heart was still in control of his attacks.
The two masters continued to fight until they bothnded a simultaneous hit on each other, causing them to stumble back once more before falling to their knees, regaining conscious as they did so.

"Comeon master, you can get up!" shouted Sho before noticing Kenichi, Miu and their new friend weren''t giving any encouragement. Taking a look, he saw that the three had turned away, as if noticing something. Kenichi felt it before anyone else followed by Natasha who was more attuned to it and Miu noticed them so she also turned in the direction to see what they felt. A secondter, Sho felt it too.
"Someone''s looking at us with killing intent," muttered Sho.
Just as he finished that statement, several figures appeared before them. Sho immediately recognized some of them as a part of the Kuremisago n, with a total of 7 from that n and 5 other strangers.
"What the hell do you guys want now?" growled Sho.
"Kano Sho. The one said to inherit the leadership of the One Fist Nine Shadows. However, some of the elders feel that yourck of mercilessness should have disqualified you, if not killed. You should have been terminated earlier, but you were fortunately under God Hand''s protection. However, since God Hand is preupied and currently unable to protect you, we will take this chance to eliminate the mistake," dered one of the masked members.
Sho narrowed his eyes, looking at the leader of the members before recognizing him.
"Aren''t you the guy whose little brother was killed by me in his attempt to take my ce under Master?" asked Sho, "What''s your name again?"
"It''s Komu remember it as that''s the name of the man who will kill you." said Komu, "Moreover you were lucky to survive against my brother otherwise you wouldn''t have survived this long"
"Hey I beated him fair and square it''s not my fault that he bit off more than he could chew." Sho stated
"Regardless, your death warrant has been signed," dered Yari before pointing to the other two, "We will be bringing Furinji Miu back with us, as she is a part of the Kuremisago n. It is high time she is returned to us, as we cannot let such talent roam free without restraint. Like her mother, she has excellent genes and should be matched with the best within our n. In time, she will give birth to excellent warriors, like her mother should have instead of running away with an outsider. As for Shirahama Kenichi, it is known that you are currently dating her. We have been given orders to kill you to ensure that another power does not im the maiden and threaten our n. In time, she will see the wisdom of our actions."
Miu and Natasha looked disgusted while Kenichi was furious but it was nothingpared to Shizuha who heard them taking about her daughter as of she was a breeder.
So with the suffocating killing intent she moved.
"Attack" shouted Komu but before any of them could move they felt the suffocating killing intent and a figure appeared before them attacking them at once.
"What!" "Aahh" "Noo!" shouted three of the 12 men as they couldn''t even protect themselves from the wrath of the angry mother.
As she moved to kill the 4th man she dodged as she felt a killing intent towards her.
"Ooh, looks like I wasn''t wrong in moving first, I knew they won''t be ble to deal with you" said the creepy voice behind the mask.
"Jenazad!" Shizuha bit out.
"That''s me but who are you? I haven''t heard of a young woman in Advance Grandmaster ss" Jenazad said
"Doesn''t matter" Shizuha said as she went into her stance.
"You are right it doesn''t matter" Jenazad said as he moved.
The two party were moving at a speed much faster than Sakaki and Hongo, it was clear the difference between them.
When the fight started the rest regained their bearings and once again moved to attack the four disciples.
"Sakaki!" shouted Hongo.
"Yea!" agreed Sakaki as the two managed to pull themselves back up. Nobody was killing their disciples while they drew breath! Before the two could jump forward, both suddenly felt killing intent directed towards them and dodged. A secondter, a scythe cleaved through the air where they had been.
"Damn, I missed," sneered Mihai as he brandished his scythe, "I was hoping to spill your blood today. But I still got more chances, seeing how you two are so injured. I still owe you for all those punches to my face. Seeing as you already have a scar there, I''m sure you wouldn''t mind if I added a few more!"
"Try it! I''ll cave your face in some more," growled Sakaki.
Hongo had been ready to intervene, stating that this was an in-house argument and that he would handle it, when he had to dodge a palm thrust to his chest. Looking at the attacker, he noticed it was a Kuremisago n master. One that was rted to the master he had killed for trying to force him to kill Sho.
"So this is an official order from the Kuremisago n, or is this just for revenge?" snorted Hongo. His opponent didn''t answer but instead red at him with killing intent.
"Sakaki, it looks like our duel will have to be postponed," sighed Hongo.
"We''ll call it a draw," replied Sakaki, "I''ll vent my frustration on this asshole!"
What was unknown to them all was that Sakaki and Hongo had held back very slightly to preserve their strength. Hongo figured something was going on and held back a little when he saw Sakaki did too.
With Sho, Kenichi, Miu and Natasha the three were getting tired. They had cuts all over the ce, but no real debilitating injuries yet. The Kuremisago n and Jenazad''s soldiers had managed to separate Miu and Natasha from Kenichi and Sho, but the main focus of the attackers were killing Sho and Kenichi. Out of the 9 only 2 of them were attacking Miu, both from the Kuremisago n, with another two attacking Natasha while the other 5 were attacking Kenichi and Sho two whom were Master ss focused on Kenichi.
"Impossible where did you learn the move of our Kuremisago n" asked the man fighting Natasha but he didn''t get any answer.
