Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019
Yamamoto stared at Black Tiger with a complex expression, waiting for his answer.
"Sir, how could I desire your position?" Black Tiger laughed awkwardly.
"Is that so? Black Tiger, you've been with me for over a decade, right?" Yamamoto looked out the window and said thoughtfully.
"Indeed, we conquered this territory together. We were just a small, insignificant gang, and now who dares to belittle us in Shinjuku?" Black Tiger's face showed a touch of pride.
"I've always considered you a brother over the years. If you want the position of leader, I could even give it to you, but the way you're doing this is wrong." Yuamoto's gaze suddenly turned cold as he poured the liquid in his hand onto the ground.
The liquid hit the ground with a harsh sound, bubbling with white foam.
This indicated the potion was highly toxic.
"You've seen through it long ago." Black Tiger's eyes narrowed.
Yamamoto smiled sadly, "After working together for so many years, can't I understand your intentions?"
Black Tiger suddenly laughed loudly, "Yes, after so many years, we conquered this empire together. Now you want to step down, preferring to give the leadership to a kid rather than to me. What's your view of me?"
Yamamoto shook his head at Black Tiger, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, I'm afraid to. Your Evil Qi is too strong. If I hand over the Yamamoto Clan to you, it would be chaos again. It's no longer the era of fighting and killing."
Black Tiger snorted coldly, "Stop with the noble talk. You're just looking out for your own interests. Today, you must die."
Yamamoto sighed, "Black Tiger, it's not too late to turn back."
"Die!" Black Tiger snorted coldly, drawing his katana from behind and slashing at Yamamoto.
The katana flashed a cold glint, slashing directly onto the hospital bed, while Yamamoto, with a swift move, leaped off the bed.
Black Tiger's face showed a ghastly smile, "I knew it, you've been pretending to be sick all these years."
Yamamoto smiled faintly, "Because I know you too well, knowing you'd betray me one day, so I've always been on guard."
"Are you waiting for that brat of yours to grow up and take your place?" Black Tiger's eyes narrowed.
Yamamoto laughed coldly, "Yes, if I hadn't pretended to be sick, you'd probably have made a move on me long ago, right?"
"Hmph, you old fox. But what does it matter if your plans are meticulous? Today you will still die." Black Tiger shook the katana in his hand and lunged at Yamamoto.
"Come on, we haven't fought in over ten years. Let's see if you've improved," Yamamoto laughed heartily and engaged Black Tiger.
In the hospital room, the two figures clashed like two whirlwinds, fighting faster and faster.
Black Tiger swung a blade towards Yamamoto's shoulder.
Yamamoto sidestepped, dodging the katana, and struck back with his elbow.
Black Tiger staggered back four or five steps before regaining his balance.
"You've advanced!" Black Tiger stared at Yamamoto with a shocked look.
Yamamoto smiled faintly, "Indeed. But you've been lost in indulgence and haven't improved at all, it seems."
Black Tiger's face showed a ghastly expression as he suddenly took out a black pill and swallowed it.
Instantly, a powerful aura emanated from Black Tiger.
"What is this!" Yamamoto's eyebrows furrowed.
Black Tiger snorted coldly, "Yamamoto, don't get happy too soon. Let me show you my true power."
Saying this, Black Tiger charged out like lightning, his strength and speed multiple times faster than before.
In an instant, Yamamoto, who had the upper hand, suddenly found himself at a disadvantage, and in a moment of carelessness, Black Tiger dealt a blow to his chest.
Yamamoto was knocked back over a dozen steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Ye Zi and Ling Zi entered the room and their faces changed seeing Yamamoto being knocked down.
"Dad!" Seeing Yamamoto seriously injured, Ye Zi's face changed, and she hurried to help him up.
"Ye Zi, leave me. Black Tiger is rebelling. Ling Zi, take Ye Zi and go," Yamamoto coughed violently and yelled at Ling Zi.
"Ling Zi, kill Black Tiger for me," Ye Zi also shouted at Ling Zi.
Black Tiger's expression turned even more ghastly and he suddenly laughed, "Good, that saves me from having to find you. I'll send your whole family to die."
"Black Tiger, you bastard, how dare you rebel," Ling Zi stood with a knife in front of Yamamoto and Ye Zi and said coldly.
"Tsk, tsk, rebellion. I've long wanted to rebel, die for me," said Black Tiger as he lunged at Yamamoto and his daughter like a hungry wolf.
Ling Zi's gaze sharpened, and she drew her blade to block Black Tiger.
However, in the clash with Black Tiger, Ling Zi could only defend and had no chance to attack.
Black Tiger's blade was fast and heavy, forcing Ling Zi to retreat step by step.
Suddenly, Ling Zi slipped underfoot, leaving her unstable. Just as she regained her stance, Black Tiger's blade was already upon her.
With no chance to dodge, Ling Zi watched helplessly as the blade came down toward her neck.
"Sister Ling Zi," Ye Zi exclaimed in shock, while Yamamoto sighed in pity.
"It's over." Ling Zi felt the cold blade flash by and couldn't help but feel a sinking heart as she closed her eyes.
However, the blade did not fall as expected but stopped mid-air.
"How is this possible?" Ling Zi opened her eyes to see Black Tiger's katana held firmly by a pair of large hands.
Seeing the figure standing before her, Ling Zi couldn't help but call out.
"Hello, beautiful, we meet again. Why do you always look so miserable when we meet?" Lin Chen said with a cheeky smile.
"You!" Ling Zi was about to thank Lin Chen, but was instantly angered, her face turning a shade of deep blue at his words.
"Alright, your lousy martial skills are too weak. I'll teach you a few moves another day," Lin Chen helped the fallen Ling Zi up as he spoke.
At this moment, the most astonished was Black Tiger. While Lin Chen chatted with Ling Zi, Black Tiger had not been idle.
Black Tiger tried desperately to pull the blade from Lin Chen's grip, but no matter how much strength he used, the blade didn't budge.
Only then did Lin Chen glance at Black Tiger, "You want the blade? Here you go."
Saying that, Lin Chen released his grip on the blade.
This time, Black Tiger was in bad luck. As he was pulling the blade with all his might, Lin Chen's release sent him tumbling backward.
Black Tiger landed on the ground with a thump.
"Who... who are you?" Black Tiger stood up with a grimace, glaring at Lin Chen coldly.
"There's no need to know who I am. You dared to bully my woman, so you're doomed," Lin Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Bastard, who's your woman," Ling Zi, on the side, clearly displeased, fumed with anger as she shouted.
"Come on, can't you save me some face? I barely managed to put on a show, and you ruined it with your antics," Lin Chen looked helpless.
"Kid, you're asking for it," Black Tiger sneered, suddenly launching himself and charging with a swift blade aimed at Lin Chen.
