The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 229 The Kurogane Katana

Takashi Sato, one of Japan's top 10 martial artists, had come to New York to redeem his family's honor. But instead, he found himself facing even more humiliation. Unable to bear the disgrace—as a son of the Grand President of Japan's Martial United—it was utterly unacceptable to be taunted by a lowly American country boy.

Hearing Daniel's taunts, the Japanese who were live-streaming the event started yelling and wanted to rush the stage to join in attacking Daniel. However, Takashi stopped them.

"He's just an American country boy; it's impossible for me to lose to him! Don’t be hasty, watch me knock the crap out of him! I will make him kneel, begging for mercy like a dog. He will kneel on behalf of all Americans before the greatness of the Japanese!" Takashi exclaimed.

After his declaration, he ordered one of his samurai.

"Bring me the Kurogane katana!"

The Kurogane katana was forged from black steel, making it incredibly strong and sharp. There was only one such katana in all of Japan—a valued treasure of the Sato family. Passed down for 28 generations over nearly a thousand years, wielding this katana represented the glory of the Sato family!

Over that millenium, the Kurogane katana was wielded less than a hundred times—each instance against fearsome opponents that Sato family descendants could not defeat with any other weapon. History stated that whoever the Sato family faced with the katana met death by its blade.

Swoosh!

Takashi unsheathed the Kurogane katana, and immediately a dazzling black radiance burst forth. A crow happened to fly overhead at that moment, and the flash of dark light blinded it momentarily. It
