I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 487 The Young Lady's Prison Break

"Senior, if you're using a knife..."

"If you lose, you lose."

Among the group of Jinghua High School students leaving the park, the girl with the high ponytail at the head of the group showed no signs of dejection.

"While others are empty-handed, I'm carrying a knife?"

"Do you want to bring shame to the Tokugawa family name?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare,"

The student, who had intended to flatter the horse, ended up making a fool of himself and retreated to the back in a cold sweat.

Someone immediately filled in for him.

"Senior, I've found out some information about them."

The student who filled the spot respectfully handed over his phone: it contained a message from Touma Kamijou.

"Xiangqiu High School?"

He's a talented person; it's a pity he's in such an ordinary school.

The girl with the surname 'Tokugawa', wearing a high ponytail, looked thoughtfully at the messages on her phone.

In terms of fighting skills, her moves were indeed skillful and decisive, clearly showing signs of being instructed by a master; but what was even more impressive was that she could always be one step ahead of her, clearly demonstrating an extremely strong ability to 'predict' her movements.

Normal martial artists rely on 'pre-reading,' or anticipation, to determine the opponent's attack method and route, and then take countermeasures in advance.

Predicting each other's moves is also a form of self-cultivation.

Unfortunately, the girl didn't know that she had encountered a 'cheat code'.

Touma Kamijou has long since surpassed the level of 'pre-reading' and is moving towards a higher realm.

"Excuse me, what can we do?"

The student beside him, bowing low, asked for permission.
Should we take a hard line, continue with appeasement and winning them over, or—

"Don't act rashly."

The girl with the high ponytail slightly raised her hand.
"Find out the other party's background first, and then make a decision."

By casually handing the phone back to her classmate or subordinate, this girl surnamed Tokugawa already had a plan in mind.

Besides sending her subordinates to gather information, she also planned to verify with her grandfather to avoid running into people from other extraordinary families.

The girl's grandfather was none other than Tokugawa Mitsunari, the head of the Tokugawa family, who dared to risk his life by drinking an extraordinary potion at the age of over eighty!

Although this person's strength is not considered formidable among extraordinary individuals, he has a wide network of connections.

Because of the prestigious name 'Tokugawa'
Most people in island nations still agree with it.

The shogunate ruled the island nation for several hundred years, which could be considered a period of relative stability.
Later, the country's doors were forced open by the "Black Ships," and the Tokugawa family voluntarily surrendered during the anti-shogunate movement, returning power to the emperor. They were granted the title of Duke, and ultimately stepped down with dignity. Now, the Tokugawa family is once again united under the banner of Tokugawa Mitsunari, and other extraordinary families will give them some respect.

After all, they are a family that has mastered the 'breathing technique', aren't they?

"Touma Kamijou, you're interesting~~"

The girl with the high ponytail became interested.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Just as a boy with a urchin-like hairstyle was attracting the attention of the opposite sex, the Metropolitan Police Department was outwardly relaxed but inwardly on high alert.

Ordinary police officers, clerks, and even most of the superhuman special police are busy with their daily work: maintaining order for tens of millions of people in Tokyo, clearing out evil spirits entering the city from various places, recording various supernatural disasters, and then dispatching the appropriate personnel.
Apart from the three major metropolitan areas, the remaining coastal cities of the entire island nation can barely be considered 'peaceful'.
Other inland cities are already surrounded by billions of evil spirits, with occasional 'evil spirit sieges' and other similar events, making them a place for many low-level superhumans to practice combat skills.

In the bustling Metropolitan Police Department, a figure dressed in a long robe with a black background and red clouds suddenly appeared.

No, it didn't appear suddenly, but rather stepped in at an extremely high speed.

The next second, many passersby slowly collapsed.

? !
With Xiao's speed, it was incredibly easy for him to knock down everyone present in an instant, and he could even control their falling posture so that they wouldn't hit their foreheads.

It looked as if everyone was acting: the way they fell was far too 'safe'.

"Black background with red clouds"

"That weapon is—"

In the monitoring room, several police officers' pupils suddenly contracted, and they instinctively grabbed their walkie-talkies and shouted:
“Alert! Alert!!”

"Intruders have broken into the lobby on the first floor!"

brush,

Next second,
All the surveillance footage turned into static.

"Ring ring ring~~~!!!"

The urgent ringing of the bell rang throughout the Metropolitan Police Department. It was so sudden that many police officers who were working were stunned for a few seconds before they reacted.

Someone has hacked into our site?!
Are you kidding me? This is the headquarters of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department.

The next second, the broadcast answered their questions.

"The intruder is a Ghost-level Transcendent: Asura!"

"I'll repeat myself, the intruder is..."

? !
Upon hearing this name, many police officers' expressions changed drastically.

Demon level!

Asura.

This person's intelligence,
This is a 'job requirement' that all members of the Metropolitan Police Department must keep in mind;
No, it should be said that all the information on the Demon-level targets was required to be memorized by heart by the Metropolitan Police Department personnel.

"All members below the Tiger level, seek refuge immediately!"

Orders were given, equipment was donned, and figures whizzed by as they sped across various departments.

"Tiger-level members, assemble!"

One by one, figures enveloped in a ghostly blue light leaped out from various floors and departments, looking at the young man in a black robe with red clouds advancing in the hall with a sense of formidable danger.

"Taka, this is the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"Do you even know what the charge is for forcibly breaking into the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters?"

Clang,

The 'decapitation sword' on his back automatically jumped out of its 'scabbard' and landed in Xiao's hand.

"There's no point in saying more. Use whatever means you have to attack."

?

The tiger-level experts who arrived exchanged a glance.
Some of them vaguely knew that Xiao Hui had come alone, while others simply treated the situation as an 'unexpected situation,' but in any case:
"The opponent is a Ghost-level Transcendent! Everyone, attack together!"

Clusters of eerie blue and ghastly green light appeared, and numerous Tiger-level super-special police officers threw punches.

"Uranium Light Wave Fist - Heavy Artillery Bombardment!"

boom-----

The Metropolitan Police Department building collapsed with a roar, sending countless pieces of debris flying everywhere.

"Go and rescue them,"

Several section chiefs who were in the know gave instructions.
It would be ridiculous if, in the end, the person who was unconscious died at the hands of their own people, even though no one else had hurt them.

"Filial piety is up to us—"

brush,

The decapitation blade swept past him, startling the section chief who had been jerking back. The next second, however, he no longer needed to be surprised.

Xiao Fei kicked the section chief like a cannonball, sending him flying.

Yes, the rest are all Tiger-class.
In Xiao's perception, those attacking him were all Tiger-level transcendents, but there wasn't a single Ghost-level one; that is to say:

Is he being used as a training tool?
Then so be it—

He twirled the decapitation sword in his hand, turning the blade into the back of the blade.

Wielding this 'reverse-blade knife,' Xiao charged towards these extraordinary special police officers.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

A few minutes later,

"Black Flash!"

The 'decapitation sword' crackling with black lightning was swung out.
It slammed down on the 'divine wood' wall, tearing the wood, which was made by 'Divine Child' Xiaoying, apart.

After all, this was just a piece of wood that Xiaoying had casually created, and which had lost her as its controller. It was perfectly normal for it to be torn apart under Xiao's full effort.

Next.
Holding the 'decapitation sword', Xiao jumped directly into the elevator shaft below.

With his strength, unless the island nation's government goes completely mad and detonates a nuclear weapon beneath the Metropolitan Police Department, no other means can harm him at all.

Moreover, Takashi possesses the ability to briefly foresee the future, known as "Saki no Saki." To kill him, a high-yield nuclear weapon would be necessary—whether such a weapon could kill Takashi is uncertain, but it would certainly send Chiyoda Ward flying.

The headquarters of most of the island nation's government agencies are located in this area!

So after taking down those Tiger-level special police officers, Xiao easily descended deep underground.

What followed was—

Destroy everything!

Whether it's an alloy gate or some kind of trap, everything is cleaved in two by the decapitation blade.

Puff puff puff

As the blade flashed repeatedly, the thick alloy door of a secret laboratory collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of geometric shapes.

Is it underground?

With Xiao's perception, he discovered the location of Jiu Kong Yao Ai with just a 'sweep'.

The 'decapitation sword' in his hand slashed through the air.

Bang! !
A huge metal cylinder rolled to the side in the room.
Then the broadsword was thrust downwards with a stab and a flick.

Click click click click,

Amidst a teeth-grinding scraping sound, he pried a cylindrical glass 'culture chamber' out of the 'ground'.

brush,

With a single swing of the enormous 'decapitation blade,' the thing that imprisoned Jiu Kongyao Ai was shattered!
Liquids, debris, pipes—all sorts of junk flew out.

Despite having her eyes closed as if she were peacefully asleep, Jiu Kong Yao Ai stood unharmed in the same spot.

With Xiao's current strength, let alone slicing an apple with a decapitation sword, he could even perform a 'sterilization operation' on a mosquito without accidentally hurting it.

Next, just wait.
open eyes!
Just a few seconds

Jiu Kong Yao Ai opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her; a slight smile appeared on her lips, then her face hardened.

"You're so slow, Shura."

Where is Teach?

"He's waiting outside. Please come with me."

Holding the executioner's sword, Xiao turned around and walked straight outside.

He wrecked the bases along the way, yet there weren't a single casualty: Sure enough, the Metropolitan Police Department didn't want to keep the young lady locked up any longer?!
"It seems that leaving will be a bit troublesome."

Xiao's senses swept across the ground, and he frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

On the contrary, Jiu Kong Yao Ai, whose strength should have been above his, asked a question in confusion.

Spiritual perception is such an advanced skill that it's too difficult for Jiu Kong Yao Ai to master, but—

"Hmph, it's them again!"

As the two ascended the elevator shaft, Jiu Kongyao twitched her small nose and caught a whiff of familiar scents.

swish, swish,

As the two leaped upwards, what they saw was:
"You are already surrounded. Giving up resistance is simply impossible."

Kawa and Mai, dressed in a magnificent and dignified police uniform.

With the 'sacred artifact' on his face and his lower body transformed into a spider, his hands rested on the 'Thousand Blades' at his waist, clearly ready to strike.

Why, why me too?

With a helpless expression, Dong Xiaomei had no choice but to step forward.

That's right, the Metropolitan Police Department actually has two demon-level beings: besides Mai, there's also this 'spirit medium' who has three souls in one.

"I'm fine,"

On the other side, Pegasus was eager to try, his white pupils sparkling with a crystalline light.

She has already broken through to the Ghost level, but can only spar with acquaintances. It is time for her to find a master to have a good fight!
Three Demon-level monsters!

"They're nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs,"

As soon as she was freed, Jiu Kong Yao Ai stepped forward, ready to engage in a fierce battle with these extraordinary experts.

Putting everything else aside, the mentality of fighting on despite repeated defeats and never giving up is something that most people don't possess.

brush,

?

However, a decapitation blade blocked her way.

"Young Miss, you go first."

The one who stepped in to stop Jiu Kong Yao Ai was naturally Xiao.

The Metropolitan Police Department brought in three Demon-level powerhouses, as well as the God Eye who possesses the 'Amaterasu bloodline': Tenma Ai-mei.

If we let them escape so easily, where will we put our pride?
Don't forget, this is Tokyo!

Chiyoda Ward.

In just a few seconds, the principal from the next district, his sister, his apprentice, and even the 'Divine Child' on the sacred tree could arrive.

Given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's strength, a quick victory is virtually impossible, therefore—

Watch out for Teach.

A soft voice sounded in Jiu Kong Yao Ai's ear.

The next second, the ground beneath her feet suddenly caved in, and the churning black mud swallowed her up.

"Three people,"

Xiao raised his decapitation sword horizontally and assumed a fighting stance.

“I will be your opponent.”
