Chapter 410 Rush to Rescue
"Mr. Yagyu, congratulations on your breakthrough."

Extraordinary and powerful individuals continued to gather outside Heian-kyo. Kafka, leading a group of army officers, strode over and nodded to Yagyu Onoda.

Several months had passed, and Kafka's demeanor had become much more composed; the officers behind him were all extraordinary officers who had received the 'extraordinary potion' created with his blood: according to traditional terms, they should be called half-demons.

Once they go all out, they can also enter a 'demonized' state, possessing various sharp abilities.

"General Kafka, it's been a long time."

Yagyu Ono nodded in response, still sporting the same pose with two swords hanging from his waist, without even changing the swords.

Behind him were the samurai families, led by Takagi Miwa and Honda Nidai. Although they were few in number, they were all experts who had mastered the 'transformation of spiritual energy nature'.

"Ah, Heian-kyo."

Standing outside the mist-shrouded city of Kyoto, Kawai Mai's peeking and looking around was completely unrelated to the word "expert"; despite her strength reaching the Tiger level and being only one step away from the Demon level, she had no awareness of being a strong person.

"Mai, do we really want to go in?"

The earth spider next to him rubbed his hands together. Even as a spirit, he knew how terrifying 'Abe no Seimei' was: to a yokai like him, he was far more terrifying than the Nine-Tailed Fox.

According to legend, as soon as the opponent uses a Yin-Yang technique, he will immediately lose control of his own body.
"I didn't want to either,"

But we had no choice but to come; we couldn't not come.

The Special Operations Division under the Metropolitan Police Department is practically just a figurehead like Mai.

"Don't complain. After this mission is over, I'll give all of you, including myself, a long vacation."

Director Takeya, carrying a blasting sword, walked over, and the 'promise' she made made Kawai Mai purse her lips.

If they can defeat Abe no Seimei, they can naturally take a long vacation: after all, under the continuous pressure, almost all the superhumans in the island nation have unleashed their full potential, and there are already quite a few strong individuals, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary superhuman disasters.

If we lose, what's there to worry about?
Given Abe no Seimei's strength, plus the existence of the Yamata no Orochi in the underworld.

No need to worry about what happens after death; everyone's permanently retired. Congratulations!
"Alright, once the powerful monks from Mount Koya arrive, we'll begin our operation."

the other side,
A large group of Onmyoji gathered together, all dressed in the classic style of wide robes and sleeves, white clothes and black hats.

However, upon closer inspection, one will notice that the family crests on their clothes are not the same: one half has a 'three-leaf hollyhock crest' on its body, which at first glance looks like the Tokugawa family crest, but upon closer inspection, one will find that there is a difference, because this was originally the crest of the Kamo family: it became the Tokugawa family crest because Tokugawa Ieyasu liked it.

As for the other group, it is the 'moon pattern' family crest, which is said to have been drawn by that Lord Yu himself. As for its meaning, who dares to ask?

In any case, there are experts from all walks of life who have come up with countless profound and unfathomable interpretations.

"Head of the Isoya family, my family uses shikigami to pave the way and defend against enemies;"

Ryuji Kasaiin is discussing something with Daiko Igarashi.

"I'll leave the attack to your family."

"No problem, Mr. Ryuji."

The handsome young man's older sister, Isoya Dai, readily agreed.
The Fifty Valleys family is skilled in the Five Elements techniques and consists of a group of 'turret-type' extraordinary beings; they are good at offense but not good at defense, and usually rely on the family's 'warriors' for protection.

With the Onmyoji from the Hanakain family in charge of defense, the Igoya family can unleash their full power and bombard the enemy relentlessly!
"Amitabha,"

As a Buddhist chant was heard, everyone turned to look.

"Master Zhixiong has arrived,"

“It’s not just Master Shio, look, we’ve been to almost the entire Satokoyasan.”

Indeed, a large group of bald men came marching in from the street not far away, their size astonishing.

The island nation is almost entirely populated by Buddhists. From ancient times to the present, regardless of what you believed in during your lifetime, you are all given a 'Dharma name' and become a Buddha after death. In addition, the Buddhist community monopolizes the funeral business, and cemeteries are managed by temples. Therefore, the island nation has more than 30 registered monks.

They are all legitimate monks with impeccable lineage, ancestral property, temples, and even wives and children.

Rather than being practitioners, they are more like a family business running a funeral service.

After the extraordinary rebirth, Buddhism is actually in a rather awkward position.

If you talk about becoming a Buddha after death, then the higher-ups all know about the existence of the 'underworld'; if you talk about subduing demons and monsters, then all extraordinary beings are not afraid of empty words and chanting scriptures. If it weren't for Master Zhixiong, a true 'high monk,' Buddhism would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

"Zhixiong, why are there so many people?"

The person who would address Master Shio so familiarly is naturally his good friend, Yagyu Onoda.

"This matter is of utmost importance, and we have no choice but to go all out."

Facing his friend, Zhixiong didn't need to put on airs as a 'master': Besides, who would dare to interfere with his words and actions as the strongest Buddhist master?
Did you not know that Master Zhixiong was Vajra incarnate? Or a Bodhisattva reincarnation?
"The dangers of Heian-kyo are unknown, so I, Koyasan, will go ahead and pave the way for you all."

"Disciples, form the battle formation!"

"Follow the law!"

At a glance, hundreds or even thousands of monks responded in unison. They were of all ages, heights, and builds.

They were all dressed in black esoteric Buddhist robes, and with their hands clasped together, they chanted the Acala mantra in unison.

boom----

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant, as loud and awe-inspiring as thunder from beyond the heavens or the collapse of stars in the endless starry sky, resounded in everyone's hearts, and then a surge of golden light followed, like a torrent of water cascading down from the Milky Way, its power terrifying.

“Namo Sarva Tathagata Nidhiya”

As the mantra of Acala, meaning "I take refuge in all Tathagatas," resounded, a golden Acala phantom hundreds of meters tall condensed above everyone's heads.

This is a colossal statue of Acala, a four-faced, six-armed king seated on a lotus throne. He holds six ritual implements: a sword, a vajra arrow, a golden wheel, a rope, a precious bow, and a vajra, signifying the severing of the three poisons of anger, hatred, and ignorance. His body is engulfed in great golden flames, capable of burning away all afflictions!
Such a magnificent image of Fudo Myoo is certainly not the work of the monk Shio alone, but rather a result of the combined spiritual power of nearly a thousand monks from Mount Koya.

Since it involves the strength of a thousand people, it is naturally difficult to control them as easily as an arm or a finger; it is too slow for offense, but it is quite remarkable for defense: simply put, it is to advance step by step, steadily and surely, while carrying such a huge 'turtle shell'.

"let's go!"

Seeing that Mount Koya had erected such a huge 'defense avatar', Director Takeya waved his hand.

His strength wasn't particularly great, but given his worldly power and 'extensive experience' in dealing with supernatural disasters, he was a natural choice to be in command.

"It's starting over there,"

On the other side, several figures dressed in black robes with red clouds watched the radiant golden 'Immovable King' step into the mist in the distance, and tilted their heads.

"Let's take action too."

After speaking, the hoarse-voiced 'Azure Dragon' was the first to step into the mist.

"Okay, I'm leaving it to you two, Shina-nee and Itsuki-nee."

"Alright, let's go!"

With a flick of the reins, Nobuna fearlessly charged into the mist on her warhorse.

Following closely behind was 'Xuanwu' wearing a fox mask, then Jiu Kong Yao Ai, codenamed 'Kong', and Teach behind her.

Speaking of this kind of attire, there are other people who are hurrying on their way.

Nicaea,
Maluku Strait.

tap tap tap,

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, several figures sped across the sea!

"Whoohoo~~"

"Wait, wait a minute! I, I~~"

The panting breaths behind her made Ie turn around abruptly, her eyes slowly turning in their three tomoe-like rings.

"what happened?"

"No, phew~ Big brother, I can't run anymore."

Not only were his companions kneeling on the sea, with the water already above their ankles, but the others were also supporting their knees with their hands, breathing heavily.

They were only at the Wolf level, and after running at full speed across the sea to get here, their spiritual energy was no longer sufficient.

"You—" "Yijiang, you go back first!"

Xia Yin, who was also starting to catch her breath, made a decisive choice.

"You're faster, hurry back! Don't worry about us, we'll be there soon."

As the second-in-command of this 'Akatsuki' organization, Xia Yin secretly arranged for someone to report to him every two hours. However, more than three hours have passed, and no information has been received. There is only one possibility:
There's a problem with their 'home'!
These communication devices are new products provided by the Cervantes family; moreover, there are three sets of backup equipment, so even if there is a problem, it is impossible for them to all fail at the same time!

Although they all very much hoped that it was just a problem with the communication equipment.

"it is good,"

Ijiang also knew the situation was urgent.
"Be careful yourselves."

crackling

boom! ! !
With a flash of lightning, a huge, straight wave suddenly erupted from the sea, stretching rapidly into the distance.

At full speed, the Yijiang River has surpassed all known means of transportation; running at supersonic speed close to the sea, its mere movement is enough to tear apart thousands of troops!

Da da da da da da,

"Die!!!"

The boy wielded two Gatling guns, unleashing a continuous barrage of bullets like a human machine gun.

A frenzied metal storm raged in the dimly lit underground passage, 'gnawing' a large gap in the wall and suppressing any intruders from daring to show their faces.

"Damn, these guys have incredible firepower!"

"They use only the best quality products."

"Are they really just a group of untrained guinea pigs?"

A group of extraordinary pirates huddled on the other side of the corner, cursing angrily.

These teenagers were all superhumans, and their equipment was extremely sophisticated: they possessed a full range of exoskeletons and specialized firearms for dealing with superhumans, causing the careless pirates to suffer a heavy loss. And just then:
“Mr. Henry, it’s an emergency.”

A Commonwealth officer jogged over to deliver the orders.

"Ten minutes,"

"You have only ten minutes to break through the defenses here."

? !
"Bullshit, impossible—"

"Sir, this is an order."

The superhuman officer raised his weapon.
"If you can't get the mission objective out in ten minutes, the higher-ups will launch a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon and bury you all."

???

Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

The pirate captain cursed inwardly. Such an urgent order could only mean one thing:
The enemy's reinforcements have arrived.
And he was an extraordinary powerhouse!
brush,

Suddenly lunging out, the pirate captain grabbed the superhuman officer by the collar and wrist, and before the officer could react, he carried him toward the tunnel from which bullets were being fired.

"Men, charge with me!!"

Puff puff puff,

The next second, the continuous impact and blood splashed towards the pirate captain.

Using the twitching sergeant in his hand as a shield, Captain Henry had no choice but to fight desperately!
Such a scene was playing out simultaneously in all the underground passages: they were just wolf-level superhumans, and let alone a nuclear bomb, being hit by a regular high-explosive bomb would be certain death.

If you don't want to die, you have to fight!
This money,

It's not easy to carry.

crackling

The lightning flashed by in an instant.

Boom! ! !
The next second, the sea finally 'reacted' and suddenly burst into towering waves.

Yijiang no longer cared about 'concealing his whereabouts' and sped off at full speed, accelerating, accelerating, and accelerating again!
However, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't hide his inner unease! Especially when he saw warships approaching from the horizon, his unease intensified!
That flag wasn't a problem with the equipment; it really was a flag with Commonwealth troops!

but why?
After all, they were just a group of teenagers. What they considered a 'secret' operation was like ants crawling on a blank sheet of paper in front of hundreds of thousands of British intelligence personnel who were going all out. The traces were so obvious.

"Give me--"

As he ran, lightning covered Yijiang's body, coating him entirely with a layer of cold, hard lightning.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode

"Get away!!"

boom! ! !
It crashed straight into the warship blocking its path, a flash of lightning passing through it, leaving only two twisted pieces of broken scrap metal behind it, now exploding and flying everywhere.

The 3,000-ton displacement Brave-class destroyer was like a fragile piece of porcelain shattered into countless fragments.

The Yi River had already sped over a thousand meters!

快、

Hurry up!

Faster!!

With the support of 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode', the light, which had reached twice the speed of sound, streaked across the sea, leaving everyone who witnessed it feeling cold to the touch.

If such 'monsters' are allowed to break into the army or even the city, it will be a complete massacre!

But prey is prey, and the direction it was heading was precisely:

Tiwi Islands.

I saw it, I saw it—

The islands on the horizon grew larger rapidly in his eyes. Ijiang didn't even care about the warships that were heading away, and rushed straight towards the islands.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !
Following the trajectory of the ocean's giant waves,
A yellowish-brown 'giant wave' suddenly splashed up on the island, the trace of some extraordinary being running across it.

I can feel it! That familiar presence is right ahead!

The powers all share the same origin. Ijiang sensed those familiar auras from afar. Although they were faint and much less, they were indeed proof that his companions were alive.
brush----

With a flash of lightning, she appeared at the door of her 'home'.

? ? ? ?
The blood-red three-tomoe jade pendant suddenly solidified.
In front of the entrance to the underground base, which is covered with signs of battle, there is a pile of crosses.

The bodies were tied to boys and girls, some still breathing, others already dead.

And at the very front is:

"Ie?"

The severely injured girl barely managed to lift her head. When she saw her lover, who was covered in lightning, she was initially overjoyed, but then anxiety appeared on her face.

"Go, go quickly!!"

"sail--"

In a flash, just as Ijiang rushed forward to rescue his lover.

光、

Blazing white light

The light produced by nuclear fusion

Its rays, just like the sun's, enveloped an area of ​​over a thousand meters.
