Although Yamamoto couldn't figure out why Qin Fang, the killer, would stab himself, he didn't care about the reason; he just needed this result.
But...
Was the one stabbed really Qin Fang?
Yamamoto was very doubtful about this result because when he looked Qin Fang over, he didn't see any part of his body that seemed injured by a blade.
The only unseen place seemed to be Qin Fang's back...
"Could it be he's stabbed in the back?"
This thought inevitably popped into Yamamoto's mind, because at that moment Qin Fang's arm, which had been holding the dagger, twisted, extending towards his back.
Judging from Qin Fang's posture, it seemed quite possible.
Even though he still couldn't understand why Qin Fang, who was clearly out to kill him, would stab himself, and not in the front but in the back...
Just at that moment, as suspicions flooded Yamamoto's mind, he saw a distortion in the void behind Qin Fang, and then a shadow gradually appeared before his eyes.
Miyamoto!
Yamamoto's heart leapt, because this person who suddenly appeared was indeed the ninja Miyamoto he had hired...
This was a very powerful ninja, with extremely formidable ninjutsu skills, entirely mysterious. Yamamoto still hadn't figured out when Miyamoto entered the room.
But shock aside, Yamamoto actually felt a great amount of expectation.
Miyamoto was a highly skilled individual he had brought to deal with Qin Fang, a very capable person indeed. Although he hadn't arranged for Miyamoto to take on Qin Fang yet, helping to resolve this extremely dangerous figure was also why Yamamoto specifically spent a lot to bring him from Japan.
"Mr. Miyamoto, save me..."
Without thinking, Yamamoto immediately cried out in alarm.
"Was it just now that Miyamoto stabbed this person and saved my life?"
At the same time, Yamamoto immediately connected it to the earlier sound of a knife entering flesh and looked at Qin Fang, hoping this was the case.
But...
"Save you? With him?"
Suddenly, Qin Fang's expressionless face again revealed a sneering look. His body moved slightly to the side so that Yamamoto could see what was happening behind him.
One of Qin Fang's hands was holding Yamamoto, while the other was behind him, holding a weapon... the dagger taken from Yamamoto.
Yamamoto had thought Miyamoto had secretly stabbed Qin Fang and hadn't considered where Qin Fang's dagger had gone; now he realized... that dagger was still in Qin Fang's hand, but the tip was deeply embedded in the ninja Miyamoto's body.
"Ga..."
The little bit of luck and hope that had just risen in Yamamoto's heart was immediately shattered by this scene, his face turning even paler.
Miyamoto had failed...
This ninja, for whom Yamamoto had paid a high price, hadn't even had the chance to carry out the mission, and had fallen here directly.
Ninjutsu is good, almost like invisibility, making it very difficult to defend against, an essential tool for assassination, but Miyamoto, such a shu master, had no opportunity to act, silently getting stabbed...
The person who stabbed him had been about to kill Yamamoto a moment ago, but now Yamamoto was unharmed, and Miyamoto had been stabbed...
This scene was truly too ironic!
Miyamoto himself had also not expected things to turn out this way; he had approached Qin Fang silently, ready to strike instantly, but had not anticipated Qin Fang's dagger, aimed at Yamamoto's heart, suddenly veering in a bizarre direction, his arm twisting in an eerie manner, and the dagger swiftly stabbing into his body like lightning.
Even someone at the quasi grandmaster level like Miyamoto couldn't dodge such a rapid change, for his speed was far inferior to Qin Fang's.
By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was already too late...
The only response he could muster was to twist his body in an attempt to avoid critical areas, to prevent excessive injury.
But although Qin Fang had his back to him, it seemed as though he had eyes on the back of his head; when Miyamoto moved, Qin Fang's dagger moved accordingly, eventually stabbing into his chest.
Although it didn't directly pierce his heart, it almost punctured his lung...
What made it even more unbearable for him was that as the dagger stabbed in, he clearly felt a powerful surge of True Qi invade his body, further injuring his already severely damaged internal organs...
"What an idiot..."
Looking at Yamamoto in front and Miyamoto behind, Qin Fang's face showed deep disdain and sarcasm, and he didn't hesitate to express his contempt in Japanese.
Yamamoto's face was pale with deep helplessness, while Miyamoto's face was ashen as he quickly retreated with a clenching of his teeth.
As he pushed away, the dagger was immediately removed from his chest, and the blood gushed out as if it cost nothing, further whitening Miyamoto's face.
But from another perspective, it also proved that Miyamoto was indeed a freakish figure, or rather, every ninja was a freak.
Because the training they underwent from childhood was extremely cruel, inhuman, and bloody, only enduring what others couldn't could truly master Ninjutsu.
Even with such a severe injury, he could still decisively push away, not giving Qin Fang another chance to strike, showing a level of decisiveness that demanded attention.
If they were on the same side, Qin Fang might have lauded him as a "real man," but unfortunately, they were in opposition, so Qin Fang could only show deep disdain at the corners of his mouth, yet he did not make another move against Miyamoto.
"Your lifeline doesn't seem very reliable... then I won't be polite!"
Not making a move against Miyamoto didn't mean Qin Fang would spare Yamamoto. Looking at the already desperate Yamamoto in front of him, Qin Fang spoke in a calm tone.
As he said this, Qin Fang deliberately glanced over at Miyamoto, making Miyamoto involuntarily take a small step back.
"You..."
At this point, Yamamoto was truly afraid, his underlings still hadn't appeared, and his greatest reliance, Ninja Miyamoto, had been destroyed by Qin Fang. Even a mere glance from Qin Fang could scare Miyamoto into retreating — he was truly out of options...
"I've wasted enough time; it's time to send you on your way..."
Qin Fang seemed unwilling to delay any further, mainly because he noticed that Yamamoto's underlings were finally approaching. If he delayed any further, Qin Fang would have to face a hail of bullets.
Qin Fang grabbed Yamamoto by the neck with a single hand, effortlessly lifting his not-so-tall body off the ground...
Yamamoto tightly grasped Qin Fang's hand, desperately trying to pry it open, but unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to Qin Fang's, making it impossible to succeed.
Being lifted like this by Qin Fang, he found it extremely difficult to breathe, almost on the verge of suffocation. His already pale face turned bluish-purple, looking quite ghastly...
His legs flailed powerlessly, as if trying to rise higher to breathe more comfortably...
But all these struggles were in vain, Qin Fang would never give him a chance to escape.
"Time to go..."
With just these simple words from Qin Fang, he gave a slight twist, and with a crack, the clear sound of a neck breaking followed. Yamamoto's head immediately drooped to the side...
At that moment, although Yamamoto was not completely dead, he was nearly there, moving his lips weakly as if trying to say something, yet nothing came out...
Soon, this pitiable person, whose head was nearly detached from the neck, fell silent entirely, dead beyond dead...
Casually tossing aside Yamamoto, Qin Fang thought that if he truly wanted to kill such a novice, he wouldn't need to waste so many words—he could simply snap his neck and be done with it.
Yet Qin Fang deliberately said so much nonsense before finally killing Yamamoto... this was intrinsically unreasonable.
However, the reason behind this, known only to Qin Fang, was beyond the understanding of Yamamoto and Miyamoto, as they were unfamiliar with Qin Fang's strength and character.
In truth, the reason Qin Fang did this seemingly nonsensical act was to lure the ninja Miyamoto out from hiding...
Miyamoto's Ninjutsu was indeed remarkable and very powerful, capable of silently infiltrating the room, which somewhat surprised Qin Fang.
Miyamoto likely used some incredibly potent Escape Skill, capable of passing through doors, which greatly astonished Qin Fang. At that moment, Qin Fang almost uncontrollably wanted to exclaim.
Though Ninjutsu evolved from Dragon Country Martial Arts and the Thousand Gate's Five Elements Escape Technique, by integrating key elements of both, it had indeed formed a very formidable Martial Arts system.
But it also brought about some peculiar changes, like this extremely stealthy Escape Skill that allowed one to pass through doors unnoticed—if not detected, one could be assassinated silently without leaving any trace...
Miyamoto evidently had this idea in mind, intending to silently approach Qin Fang and strike when near, killing Qin Fang in one move, rescuing Yamamoto simultaneously—a plan that would kill two birds with one stone, so why not?
Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful!
But the reality was cruel...
