Yan Jing and hundreds of other martial artists were left utterly stunned by the scene of Chen Xuan striking down Tsukahara Isshin.
Chen Xuan’s peachwood small sword was already a potent dharma artifact; enhanced by the ancient Spirit-Enlightening Gu, it was by no means inferior to the finest swords of Japan. Yet, to the eyes of the onlookers, Chen Xuan had shattered the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi with a mere wooden blade. The shock of it was simply overwhelming.
In a duel between swordsmen, only when there is a massive disparity in their mastery can one shatter the other’s weapon with a wooden sword. And this was no ordinary blade; the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, also known as the Kusanagi Sword, was a Japanese national treasure, ranking alongside the Yasakani no Magatama and the Yata no Mirror as one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan.
