Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 81

 Lieutenant Commander

“Ah!” When Miyagi Hanshin saw this sight, he had let out a shrill shout as if he was a woman that was about to be molested.

After losing to w.a.n.g Chao 6 days ago, he hadn’t felt a single thing wrong in his body. There had only been a small tingling pain from where the fingers had left a mark.

Originally w.a.n.g Chao had learned from Chen Aiyang when they fought. He had seen just how smoothly Chen Aiyang was able to use the Hidden Jin in Taichi in a refined way. Originally, he was only able to watch, but now his understanding was a lot higher.

After the four months of intensive closed room practicing, his “Grabbing Claw” transition from tiger to eagle stance had happened from dawnbreak to sunset. In that time, he was able to understand the quiet philosophy of Yin and Yang. From this, he was able to learn how to “produce softness to receive hardness”. His Chopping Claw Jin was able to break out with Hidden Jin and was able to be both hard and soft in its attack.

However, w.a.n.g Chao had never been able to test this out on a human before. Miyagi Hanshin had unfortunately been w.a.n.g Chao’s first experiment and victim.

When the Hidden Jin was manipulated to become soft, it was able to enter through a person’s pores to strike at the inner organs without any scar on the surface.

When w.a.n.g Chao had struck with his claw hand, he had left behind a trace of his fingernails on Miyagi Hanshin’s waist. That was because his Hidden Jin had not yet reached perfection and was not fully soft yet.

If one were to reach the pinnacle of softness with their Hidden Jin, then they would be able to strike at any part of the inner body. At this moment, the enemy would not feel any stinging pain or have a trace left behind on their skin. After several days, the inner organs would finally to show signs of degrading and ultimately kill the person. Even if the person was saved, then their ability to live a healthy life would become significantly lower than before.

An expert acupuncture or moxibustion expert would be able to insert needles into someone’s skin without them feeling anything.

The Hidden Jin entering the body like a needle followed the same concept.

Using the softness of Hidden Jin to attack without a mark. This was the most subtle way to leave them defenseless. The affected would not realize this until it was far too late. This method was the number one method a.s.sa.s.sins would use.

But against an expert opponent whose martial arts had affected even his inner organs, it would be useless to use the Hidden Jin in such a way. That was because such an expert’s entire body was extremely sensitive.

But unfortunately, Miyagi Hanshin was not such a person.

If he were to understand the severity of Hidden Jin, then the very moment he saw the mark left on his waist, he would have ran to find someone to treat him. That way, his wound would not come to such a state.

But when it came to the point of p.i.s.sing blood, that meant the kidneys were already starting to rot and the wound had already spread to the epidermis.

The inner organs were already originally weak. If one were to receive an internal wound, by the time they felt the pain, it was most likely far too late to do anything about it.

Miyagi Hanshin was a superb martial artist and master of Gobu-Ryu Karate. Although he had learned many internal martial arts and had reached the pinnacle of the Clear Jin, because of his fierce nature, he was not able to restrain all of his emotions and had naturally been unable to naturally break out with Hidden Jin from his heart.

Not being able to break out with Hidden Jin and not knowing the results of what the soft Hidden Jin could do. A combination like this would only end in tragedy.

Miyagi Hanshin was the descendant of the j.a.panese Miyagi family. Having used the Hidden Jin to rot away his kidneys, w.a.n.g Chao had left behind an unforgettable hatred on him.

w.a.n.g Chao had most certainly known about this effect. After challenging him and fracturing Zhao Xinglong’s body in three different places in such a manner, w.a.n.g Chao had naturally used a sinister move to deal with him.

“What’s going on, why am I p.i.s.sing blood?” Suddenly p.i.s.sing blood was something was something no man would be able to withstand. Plus, Miyagi Hanshin had an excellent body since birth and never had suffered from illness before.

Both of his kidneys had a sharp pain along with his urinary tract which felt as if multiple needles were stabbing into it. Such a pain like this was more than enough for him to lose consciousness.

“Ah!” At his cry and tumble to the floor, several men within the airport had noticed him.

When the people rushed to him and saw the blood on his body and the stinky smell of blood, they were scared witless.

At the same time, his companions waiting outside had realized something strange had happened. Charging into the restroom, they immediately cried out in shock as they looked at Miyagi Hanshin.

“Quick, take him to the hospital!”

“My G.o.d, what happened to him? It’s a good thing we got off the airplane just now!’

As they spoke in j.a.panese, Miyagi Hanshin was already on board of an ambulance.

Within a large scale hospital in Tokyo.

By the time Miyagi Hanshin woke, there as two tubes through his kidneys. By the left side of his bed was an ECG machine that beeped at times, showing that he was still alive.

“The kidneys have completely rotted. Even if we were to find a suitable donor to successfully transplant it, his original body functionality has already been brought down. Moreover…he is now completely infertile.”

A spectacled wearing doctor carefully faced a serious looking j.a.panese man while slowly stating the status of Miyagi Hanshin’s medical condition.

The j.a.panese man’s face grew darker and darker with each word. But when he heard the words “completely infertile”, he immediately exploded with anger.

“Baka!” The j.a.panese man roared, slapping the doctor right in the face, knocking his gla.s.ses to the ground and the doctor himself to the ground. Fortunately, the doctor’s eyegla.s.ses had been made from resin, and not gla.s.s, saving the doctor from having his eyes being stabbed with the shards.

“Mister Miyagi, we will do our best to treat your son, our very best….” Seeing the head doctor get slapped, the other departments immediately began to bow their heads in forgiveness.

There was no other choice. The Miyagi family was an extremely large family within j.a.pan with plenty of business connections. Their a.s.sets was utterly inconceivable, and the power was most strongest with Miyagi Sawaki. He was the leader of the Yakuza group the Yamaguchi. With just a few words, these doctors could find themselves cut into diced meat and thrown into the sewers.

The Yakuza gangs in j.a.pan could influence the political and military circles of j.a.pan.

“Sawaki, don’t hit people.” At that moment, an elderly voice could be heard from behind. Turning his head to look, the angry look on Miyagi Sawaki’s face had instantly vanished.

Down came an elderly man with wooden clogs and walked with crutches. This elderly man had a grim look to his face without any light to it as if he was a dead man walking.

“Oji-san, how did you get here?”

This person was the currently leader of the Miyagi family, Miyagi Ryutaro. He was a 70 year old figure with a renowned reputation in the j.a.panese martial arts world.

“Sawaki, your martial arts has stagnated. Even your spiritual cultivation has fallen behind, that is not a good thing.” Ryutaro sighed. “But this is the result of how your run the family business. Take me to see Hanshin.”

“Hai!” Miyagi Sawaki spoke with a slight amount of fear.

As the two men walked into the room, Ryutaro walked right up to where Miyagi Hanshin was. Looking at his waist, his eyes begin to shine brightly before narrowing sharply at the sight of the faint traces of a finger.

After some time without any emotion on Ryutaro’s face, he finally spoke, “Hanshin this child, he was a talent even in our Miyagi clan. If he tempered his emotions, then he would have stepped into the world of experts by the age of 30. By then, he would have been able to support the family as a master. But now, he cannot. Even after he heals, he will never be.”

Ryutaro’s words had been very calm, but Miyagi Sawaki’s heart had shook with shock. From his childhood, he had never seen his uncle leak killing intent before.

“Our martial arts world had never once made contact with the Chinese martial arts world since four or five years ago. But now, trouble has been stirred up once more. Sawaki, go investigate it was that killed Hanshin. An expert like this should not be unknown.”

“Oji-san, Hanshin hasn’t died yet, the hospital can save him.”

“En!” Ryutaro turned around with both eyes staring at Miyagi Sawaki, showing him into anxiety. “Our Miyagi family has only one path. To lose that path is to have no path at all.”

With that, Ryutaro’s hand clutched at Miyagi Hanshin’s neck and snapped it with a furious crunching sound. Instantly, the ECG machine stopped beeping.

“You are not the successor to the Miyagi family martial arts, so I will be lenient to you. The Miyagi family is a prideful clan who will not allow any loser to lay in a bed in defeat.” Ryutaro spoke after killing Hanshin and then walked out.

Although his usage of Hidden Jin to injure Miyagi Hanshin would create enemies for himself, w.a.n.g Chao was not afraid. As he improved his martial arts, he would want to test it out against even more people. People like Miyagi Hanshin were merely just warm ups to him.

The organization has made a decision, you will go to Shandong and open up a martial arts dojo.”

After w.a.n.g Chao had returned from his fight with Zhang Wei, he didn’t just idle about for half a year. Before the winter could start, he returned to C city where his family was. Then, he bought a decently size 120 square meter house and fitted it for his parents to live in.

These recent years, his father and mother had slowly received the money he had earned with joy. After moving in, they had been given several hundred thousand RMB, allowing them to quit their jobs and live at home in retirement.

His parents had been very happy to move into the home. They had quickly became friends with their neighbors and often took strolls, played mahjong, planted flowers and raised goldfish in leisure.

w.a.n.g Chao had lived with them there with a relaxed heart. A sudden thought had came to him then, the life of a calm and carefree life wasn’t all that bad.

But despite the improvement of quality in their life, there had been a single concern that weighed on w.a.n.g Chao’s parents’ mind.

That was the matter of having w.a.n.g Chao settle down. In their line of reasoning, now that w.a.n.g Chao was successful in his business, it was about time to find some nice lady friend and settle down and have a baby.

w.a.n.g Chao had never given it any thought before, so whenever his parents nagged him about it, he would smile and say nothing.

The New Year had quickly went past.

w.a.n.g Chao was already approaching 22 years old by now. It had been four years and three months since he had started martial arts. In these four years, whether it was him sitting or laying down, he was training. This amount of practice was two or three times the normal amount of a regular martial artist. In the words of a Wuxia novel, w.a.n.g Chao had well over 10 years worth of martial arts in skill.

In March, the flowers were slowly blooming.

Finally, the end of w.a.n.g Chao’s leisure life came.

That day, he had received Cao Yi’s phone number and immediately traveled to S Province.

Upon seeing Cao Yi, the representative had given him a mission from the organization.

“To Shandong?” w.a.n.g Chao was shocked.

“Correct, go to Shandong.” Cao Yi nodded before explaining, “Shandong has a path with Korea and Shandong. Furthermore, the northeastern part of China is connected to Russia! The Russian criminal powers have many underground fighting places that have already gradually made their ways here. Their group is quite complex, so you should first make yourself known in the martial arts world there. First, you must confirm the trends of the criminal gangs, then you must make a name for yourself. I heard that the other day, you killed the j.a.panese martial artist Miyagi Hanshin from the Miyagi family, that brought about a decent amount of trouble. Other than that, you must be careful. Shandong and northeastern China is in the hands of several powers and even the princeling Liao Junhua who has connections with Russia, j.a.pan, and Korea’s criminal gangs. This time, Boulder and the others will go with you as your disciples as well as your secret support. In the case of the gangs using firepower, they will be prepared.”

“Other than that, you are no expert in business at all. Sun Lei and his group specialize in warfare, destruction, and invasion. So, the organization has sent a specialized support to help you.”

Just at that moment, the doors to the conference room opened up to reveal a military uniform wearing woman with two stars on her shoulder, symbolizing her status as a lieutenant commander.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Lin Yanan!”

Upon seeing this woman come in, Cao Yi had hurriedly stood up to greet her. Evidently, this woman was equal to him in ranking.

“h.e.l.lo, comrade Cao Yi.” The lieutenant commander shook Cao Yi’s hand and then looked to w.a.n.g Chao.

“Allow me to introduce you two. This is the Bagua and Xingyi Quan master, master w.a.n.g Chao.” Cao Yi explained in a hurry.

“h.e.l.lo, I am navy lieutenant commander Lin Yanan.” Lin Yanan introduced herself, “I hope our future partnership will be pleasant.”

“The navy? Ah, it’s most likely that we will need to send and receive goods through the ocean.” w.a.n.g Chao suddenly thought when the word ‘navy’ was spoken.
