Hattori Ichikawa immediately shook his head, "Impossible! This sword is the most important treasure in our Japanese ninja heritage. There's no way we're using it for gambling!"
Wu Qingchuan chuckled, "No bet? So you're scared? If you're scared, just say it directly. As long as you admit that your Japanese Ninja Way is not as good as our Xia Nation's martial arts, we won't pursue it too much."
Hattori Ikawa and the head of the Yagyu family's expressions changed. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Isn’t this what they just said to Wu Qingchuan?
Wu Qingchuan was not in a hurry either. It was the other party who proposed to challenge Shen Qi just now. It was one thing for Shen Qi not to accept the challenge, but now Shen Qi was willing to accept the challenge, but they were unwilling to agree to Shen Qi's conditions. That was another matter.
Hattori Ichikawa also knew that if he refused in front of so many people, it would definitely have a huge impact on his reputation, so he was also struggling. The main reason was that this long sword was really important. It was not only his most powerful weapon, but also had extremely important significance for all ninjas in the Japanese island country. No accidents could happen.
The head of the Yagyu family didn't think so much. They were now in a difficult situation and had to get back the ground they lost today.
"Senior Hattori, why don't you agree to Shen Qi's conditions? With your cultivation and combat power, is there anything you need to worry about? Perhaps Shen Qi wants to use this method to put pressure on you, making you afraid to take action because of your fear of this precious sword. Shen Qi is waiting for you to hesitate and compromise, so that he can have enough reason to slander the ninja way of our Japanese island nation. Is this the scene you want to see?"
Hattori Ichikawa shook his head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
"Okay, then I'll accept Shen Qi's offer. However, Wu Qingchuan's offer is still too low. Do you think you can gamble away my precious sword for just 200 million? We need to put some pressure on him!"
The head of the Yagyu clan nodded, looked at Wu Qingchuan, and said loudly: "President Wu, the long sword in Hattori-senpai's hand is the most valued treasure of all ninjas in our Japanese island nation. Its value is immeasurable. However, Hattori-senpai will not make things difficult for you. As long as you increase the bet to 1 billion, Hattori-senpai is willing to accept your conditions."
Wu Qingchuan still looked embarrassed and said, "Our Xia Country Martial Arts Research Association is just a spontaneous civil organization. Although we have received donations from many people, we can only take out 200 million yuan at present. This is already our limit. So if you want us to come up with 1 billion yuan, it will be a bit difficult."
The head of the Yagyu family snorted coldly, "Don't you think it's difficult for you to let Hattori-senpai use his precious sword as a bet? You should know that the value of that precious sword is far beyond ten billion. It's only because Hattori-senpai is giving you a favor that he is willing to accept this offer. Otherwise, forget it!"
"I still say the same thing. If you can't even come up with this little money and can't accept such a simple condition, then publicly admit that your Xia country's martial arts are inferior..."
"etc!"
Wu Qingchuan felt that he had performed well enough and there was no point in continuing, so he made a decisive decision.
"Okay, ten billion is ten billion. At worst, I can get some sponsorship when I get back. I should be able to raise ten billion."
When the head of the Yagyu family saw Wu Qingchuan's angry look, he wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
"Okay, since we have agreed, let's get Shen Qi out quickly. Senior Hattori is getting impatient waiting."
Hattori Ikawa took a step forward, his powerful aura revealed, even Wu Qingchuan couldn't help but take two steps back.
Many ninjas from the Japanese island country laughed when they saw this scene, thinking that Wu Qingchuan was nothing special.
At this moment, a stream of spiritual energy descended from the sky and landed on Wu Qingchuan. The aura emanating from Wu Qingchuan actually rose sharply, and in just two seconds, it suppressed Hattori Ikawa's aura.
This momentum was only directed at Hattori Ikawa, so even the head of the Yagyu family next to him didn't notice it. He just saw Hattori Ikawa frowning, as if something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Hattori-senpai, what's wrong?"
Hattori Ichikawa didn't say anything, but just silently clenched his dark red sword, and was actually a little nervous.
Wu Qingchuan felt much more relaxed after receiving the infusion of spiritual energy. He smiled and said, "Okay, since you are so anxious, I will call Mr. Shen Qi out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qi automatically walked out of the crowd, and in a flash he came to Wu Qingchuan's side, looking at Hattori Ikawa with amusement.
"Hi! Nice to meet you again."
Hattori Ichikawa suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his right hand that was holding the hilt of the knife subconsciously loosened, and pointed at Shen Qi with trembling hands.
"You...you? You are...Shen Qi?"
Shen Qi nodded, "Yes, it's me! I didn't want to show up at first, but you insisted on challenging me. I gave you a way out, but you didn't repent, so I had no choice but to come out and fight."
Hattori Ichikawa quickly shook his head, "No, no! Mr. Shen Qi, you must have heard it wrong. I never thought of challenging you! If I knew you were Shen Qi, I would never dare to do this! This is all a misunderstanding!"
The people from the Japanese island nation who had placed high hopes on Hattori Ikawa just now all opened their mouths wide when they saw Hattori Ikawa's reaction.
What did they see?
The idol they admired was so unbearable when he saw Shen Qi?
What is going on?
Did they see it wrong?
The head of the Yagyu family was right next to them and saw the scene clearly. He even saw the mixed expression of flattery and fear on Hattori Ikawa's face, and he was stunned on the spot.
Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he didn't know how to respond at this moment.
The same was true for the heads of other ninja families. They could never have imagined that Hattori Ichikawa would have such a reaction after seeing Shen Qi!
The image of Hattori Ikawa in their hearts collapsed.
Not only the family heads and ninjas from the Japanese island country were surprised, but Wu Qingchuan, Gu Peng and Shen Qiu were also surprised.
They knew that Shen Qi was powerful, and they were certain that Hattori Ikawa could not be Shen Qi's opponent, but they never imagined that Shen Qi could scare Hattori Ikawa like this just by standing up without taking any action.
Even those of them who knew some of the inside story were shocked, not to mention the people watching the game around and the netizens in the live broadcast room. They were even more puzzled by Hattori Ikawa's reaction.
How come Hattori Ichikawa, who was so arrogant and acted like he was the best in the world just now, became as obedient as a chicken in the blink of an eye?
This reversal came too quickly, didn't it?
After a few seconds of silence in the live broadcast room, it was suddenly flooded with barrages of comments.
"Shen Qi is mighty!"
Qing Yishui's "Shen Qi is mighty" began to flood the screen, making all netizens in the live broadcast room feel indescribable pride.
Winning all the matches today is just child's play. Shen Qi just stood up and scared the number one person in the Japanese island nation into this state. This is the biggest melon.
