Chapter 1505 The Duel

The Japanese couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard that Nathan really wanted tospar with Watanabe.

They all thought that Nathan must be asking for death to duel with their Sword God.

Watanabe was still clad in his signature samurai attire. Coupled with his grey hair and beard, theSword God looked very much like a high-ranked martial arts master with his katana by his side.

The God of Kendo eyed Nathan with a smirk. "Since you are going to spar with me, you can borrowa katana from one of our guards."

Nathan scanned the imperial guards and shook his head. "I don't like your katanas.”

Watanabe frowned. "Then with what weapon are you going to use to fight against me?"

Nathan turned around to look at the artefacts. His gaze landed on an extremely exquisite daggerthat was embedded with jewels.

"I shall use this ancient dagger then," Nathan uttered with a smile.

Everyone else was stunned by his choice.

Emperor Chongmei couldn't help but assert, "Mr. Cross, this dagger is the imperial dagger used byone of your ancient kings, which is why it's designed for decorative purposes only and not forcombat."

"In other words, its design only considered its lavishness and not its practicality. Are you sure youwant to use it to duel with Master Watanabe?"

Nathan answered, "This dagger is more than enough for me to duel against your Sword God."

A fire of rage burned in Master Watanabe over Nathan's arrogant statement.

"There's no blade in this world that can beat our katanas, and your nation's dagger isn't worth amatch to our katanas at all, especially one that is only used for decoration. Even your famous KingOf All Blades went blunt after coming in contact with our glass. You must be asking for deathchoosing such a useless ancient dagger to duel with me."

However, Emperor Chongmei was more than happy to see Nathan being so reckless, hence heordered his subordinates to hand Nathan the ancient dagger.

He then said with cunning smile, "Since Mr. Cross insists on using your nation's weapon, then Ishall look forward to your battle with Master Watanabe.”

With a disdainful smile, Watanabe strode to the middle of the banquet hall.

On the other hand, Nathan too strode up to him and stood facing Watanabe less than three metersaway.

As such, both sides now had a direct faceoff as the tension between them heightened.

Subconsciously, Penny clenched her fist anxiously.

Frida too felt the same as she locked her eyes on both Nathan and Watanabe.

The only one who remained calm throughout was Colin. He had great confidence in Nathan's skills.

As for the Japanese, they were chattering away excitedly as they waited for the duel to start. Tothem, this was a confirmed win for their side.

There's no way a mere unknown platoon from a foreign nation can win against the Sword God ofJapan!

Soon, Tanaka announced, "The duel starts!"

Watanabe moved the moment Tanaka made his announcement. Bending his body, Watanabecharged towards Nathan at the speed of lightning. He unsheathed his katana with a loud clank themoment he entered the range of attack.

The unsheathed katana flashed brightly as it slashed in Nathan's direction.

The lustrous blade swerved like a forceful bolt of lightning as it aimed for Nathan from a tricky butfatal angle. Considering how sharp his katana was, Watanabe was sure he could slice Nathan intotwo with just one slash.

The crowd immediately cheered in excitement over the God of Kendo's masterclass skills.

At the same moment, Nathan too unsheathed his dagger.

With a loud crack, the dagger flashed with a brilliant light but was gone as soon as it came out of itssheath.

Before Watanabe could react to his move, he felt dampness on his face while his katana slicedthrough nothing but thin air.

By the time he came back to his senses, Nathan was back to his original position three metersaway and his dagger had returned to its sheath.

The crowd fell silent at the sight.

Poor Watanabe had no idea what just happened as he looked around in confusion.

It was when a drop of blood trickled down from his face and dripped to the floor that his expressionfinally turned into horror.
