King of Nine Heavens

Beneath a towering mountain, in a canyon surrounded by mountains, there was a thick tree that reached the heavens. There was a flat patch of snow under the tree, and on it a petite woman was fighting with a short, fat man, surrounded by soldiers with weapons.    

    

That petite girl was Masako, and the short and fat man who fought her was her brother-in-law, General Matsumoto.    

    

It had been two months since Yoshiko left Danyang. Masako had finished eating all the food she left behind and had no choice but to personally go down the mountain to procure it. Even though Masako had disguised herself, Matsumoto was still able to recognize her at a glance. He chased her all the way here.    

    

Matsumoto advised Masako while battling her, "Masako, stop struggling at death's door. You are not my opponent, so I think you should obediently follow me back. When I become the King of the Great Sun, I will definitely bestow you the title of Queen."    

    

"You … "Dream on!"    

    

Looking at Matsumoto's vulgar gaze, Masako was so angry that her face had turned ashen. The Long Sword in her hands seemed to be giving off a strong wind as sword qi shot out in all directions, exuding a murderous aura. Unfortunately, with Matsumoto's high cultivation, even though she used her trump card, she was still unable to harm him in the slightest.    

    

That was the truth. If not for Matsumoto's leniency, Masako would have gone to see Hades a long time ago. Matsumoto did this because he wanted Masako. Masako was the woman that he had loved for a long time.    

    

If not for the fact that he had considered Masako to be the king's most beloved daughter, Matsumoto would have forced himself on her. Now that the king was dead, he no longer had any concerns.    

    

"Whether I'm dreaming or not, we will know very soon. I think you should just disarm, just in case the saber Qi from my Katana hurt your pretty face and turned ugly, let's see who will like you again."    

    

Matsumoto looked at Masako's delicate face with lustful eyes. His Adam's apple was rolling and he was drooling.    

    

This girl looks a little haggard, but she's still as beautiful as ever. No wonder that brat Great Xia also had mortal hearts, but no matter, she will belong to me in the future. I will love her well.    

    

Seeing Matsumoto's lascivious gaze, Masako's beautiful eyes were filled with despair.    

    

Originally, she had placed all her hopes on Yoshiko. However, it had been two months since Yoshiko left for Great Xia, and she still hadn't brought reinforcements. Could it be that Yoshiko had met with an accident, or that she thought too highly of him?    

    

If he hadn't come, she wouldn't have blamed him. After all, their relationship wasn't that good, and the reason she had sent Yoshiko to find him was because she had no other choice. Now, it seemed that her last sliver of hope had been destroyed along with her.    

    

"Huala …"    

    

Just as Masako was getting distracted, the sound of fabric tearing could be heard. Masako took a closer look and saw that her shirt under her chin had been torn apart by Matsumoto, revealing a large part of her snow-white skin.    

    

"Bastard, I'll kill you!"    

    

Masako became angry from embarrassment. With a yell, the Long Sword in her hand turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards Matsumoto. The sword's light was sharp and flickering, as if it was going to take Matsumoto's life.    

    

"What a fast sword technique. Unfortunately, in front of absolute strength, it still wasn't able to injure me in the slightest. Break for me ~ ~ ~"    

    

Matsumoto's heart trembled, but he quickly reacted. With a cold shout, he raised the Katana in his hand and hacked towards Masako.    

    

Clang!    

    

The sword light shattered, and sparks flew in all directions, producing an earth-shaking explosion.    

    

"Whoosh!"    

    

The huge recoil caused both sides to become numb and fly out.    

    

"Masako, I didn't expect you to be so much stronger than that big sister of yours. I wonder if you're also as strong in that aspect. I'm looking forward to it."    

    

Matsumoto looked at Masako's pretty body and completely ignored the numbness on his arm. He said whatever he wanted to say. He didn't look like a general at all.    

    

Of course, the general was also human and full of emotions.    

    

Masako wanted nothing more than to tear Matsumoto into pieces, but when she thought of how she was not his match even after using a secret skill, her body moved and she planned to escape.    

    

When the surrounding soldiers saw that Masako was about to escape, they held their weapons and blocked her path.    

    

"Those who block me, die!"    

    

Masako roared. She raised her sword and used it to slice apart the Katana in the hands of a soldier. At the same time, a sharp Sword Qi left a long wound on the soldier's body, blood splashing everywhere.    

    

"Ah …"    

    

The man let out a mournful scream and fell to the ground, dead. The other soldier was so frightened that his legs gave out and he didn't know what to do.    

    

"A coward!"    

    

Matsumoto arrived in time and kicked the soldier away. Masako pierced the air, but her reaction was very fast. She didn't attack Matsumoto and immediately ran away.    

    

"If it was in my hands, could it still escape?"    

    

Matsumoto sneered and turned into a shadow, appearing in front of Masako in the blink of an eye. Looking at her despairing expression, he smiled and said, "Masako, letting me meet you again in the vast sea of people is also a kind of fate. I think you should obediently follow me back.    

    

Masako gripped her sword tightly and said angrily, "Matsumoto, just give up on this idea of yours. I will never serve with anyone else."    

    

"That's easy to do." Matsumoto pondered for a while, "I can divorce your sister. Anyway, I don't like women like her."    

    

Masako bit her lips and said resolutely, "Then I won't like you either."    

    

Matsumoto sighed, and said: "I know, your heart already belongs to that Great Xia person, but, it doesn't matter, as long as I have your body, I am satisfied."    

    

Masako said calmly, "Matsumoto, I don't think you understand what I mean."    

    

Matsumoto was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."    

    

Masako pointed at Matsumoto and said with a darkened face, "Matsumoto, listen carefully. I would rather die than give my body to you."    

    

It turned out to be a pure and strong woman, which was out of Matsumoto's expectation. Matsumoto originally thought that Masako was just joking. Since she and Sakurako were born of the same mother, their personalities should be similar.    

    

Matsumoto was very clear on what kind of woman Sakurako was. He thought that Masako was similar to Sakurako, but after hearing what Masako said, he realized that his thoughts were too naive.    

    

As if he was insulted, Matsumoto's face turned livid with anger. He pointed at Masako and said, "Even if you die, I won't let you go."    

    

Even if he died, he would not let it go, he would not let it go …    

    

Masako thought of a possibility and could not help but feel sad. Her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.    

    

Drip, drip, drip …    

    

The despair turned into tears that leaked out of his eyes, falling down like a pearl with its string cut.    

    

Just when Masako was stunned, Matsumoto once again appeared beside Masako in a blur. By the time Masako reacted, the sword in her hand had already been snatched away by Matsumoto.    

    

Masako wanted to struggle free from his embrace, but she found that her limbs were powerless and she couldn't move at all. Only later on did she realize that her soul was locked on by Matsumoto. The despair in her eyes became even stronger.
