The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 232

Takashi Sato was flabbergasted. A buzzing noise filled his head as he tried to comprehend the situation. How could this American country boy be so formidable? He, a top 10 martial artist from Japan, couldn't even touch Daniel.

Takashi, desperate and gasping for air, momentarily gathered himself and then pointed at Daniel, shouting, "If you're a man, fight me fair and square, without dodging!"

"Why are you being so unreasonable? You come at me with the Kurogane katana and expect me not to dodge? Are all you Japanese so shameless and dishonorable?" Daniel countered, waving the willow branch in his hand effortlessly before continuing. "You want to fight me directly? No problem with that. But once I harden up, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it! Your vaunted katana could very well end up in two pieces at the hands of my willow branch."

"What did you say? You think you can break my Kurogane katana with a measly willow branch? If you're really a man, then come and clash with my katana using that branch of yours. I'll slice it into two before you know it!"

"Since you're asking for more humiliation, I'm happy to oblige!"

"More humiliation? You're the one who's going to be humiliated!"

No longer wasting words, Takashi Sato raised his katana and struck at Daniel. This time, Daniel didn't dodge. Instead, he faced the blade with his willow branch.

The katana and the willow branch collided. Everyone expected Daniel to be the one who had lost his mind. But they were all proven wrong.

Boom!

Accompanied by a powerful impact noise...

Crack!

The Kurogane katana snapped, breaking into two pieces. Daniel's willow branch, on the other hand, didn't have even a single scratch on it.

Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.

This wasn't an ordinary sword; the Kurogane katana was the finest katana in Japan, capable of slicing through steel as if it were mud. Even a diamond could be split in half by this katana!

If Takashi Sato could not overcome Daniel, perhaps the Japanese spectators could have accepted it. After all, Takashi Sato's high ranking was partly due to the influence of his father, Haruki Sato, the President of Martial United in Japan. Competitors often deliberately lost to Takashi in Japan because of this.

But the Kurogane katana was Japan's true pride—Japan's number one katana—and now it had been shattered by an American country boy with a willow branch. The incident was an unprecedented insult to the entire Martial United of Japan.

Staring at the broken pieces of the Kurogane katana in his hands, Takashi Sato was stunned, not daring to trust his eyes. How could a mere country boy, armed only with a willow branch, break the number one katana in Japan, the Kurogane katana?

"I will kill you!"

Instinctively enraged, Takashi Sato lunged at Daniel with the remaining half of the Kurogane katana, determined to stab him. Just as the jagged remnant was about to poke Daniel's chest, Daniel lifted his willow branch and deftly flicked it aside.
