I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 563 Divine Might (Not really)
"How...how could this be?"

"hateful--"

Seeing the little girl emerge from 'Yomihirasaka',

The experts sent by various forces to 'guard' Huang Quan were both shocked and furious, their faces showing an uncontrollable sense of despair.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai did indeed suffer setbacks many times, but that was only because of bad luck; each time she happened to encounter a powerful opponent who was either restraining her or related to 'someone,' which made her record look terrible.

For ordinary people, no, for 99.999% of the extraordinary people in this world, she is an absolute nightmare!

Even for a Ghost-level superhuman, the best course of action when encountering Miss Jiu Kong alone is to turn and run.

Even if it's a Dragon Shame, it's still a Dragon-level weapon!
And they are just tigers.
"let me see--"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who had emerged from the underworld, seemed to be in a rather pleasant mood.

"The powerful monks of Mount Koya, the Onmyoji of the Isoya family, and the ninjas of Koga. And you, the one wielding the 'demon sword,' who are you subordinates?"

"I am Minamoto, a samurai before the palace."

"okay!"

She raised her hand to interrupt the other person's introduction, and tilted her head.

"Hmm, I can let one of you leave."

"Now, let's make a decision~~"

?

Several extraordinary individuals were taken aback, even the tall Teach, who had followed Jiu Kong Yao Ai out of the 'Yellow Springs', was stunned.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai wore an innocent smile, like someone who had caught a few crickets and thrown them into a jar to see who was the strongest: the evil of chaos!

"What? You're unwilling to lay a hand on your 'comrades'?"

As she spoke, the young lady casually walked straight toward the group of people who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"How about we team up and take me down?"

"I'll just stand here, neither dodging nor blocking, and let you attack me as you please~~"

"Damn it!"

The Koga ninja roared, and just when everyone thought he was about to launch a sudden and desperate attack:
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated—"

He pulled out a kunai and suddenly stabbed it into his temple.

Pfft

Bang.

He tackled her to the ground cleanly and swiftly.

This,
Not to mention others, even Jiu Kong Yao Ai was stunned.

To commit suicide so decisively, in a sense, makes one a kind of talent?

Well, that's very much in line with the ninja style.

"never mind,"

If you're dead, you're dead.
"So, what about you guys? Would you like to give it a try?"

Faced with the beckoning of Jiukong Yao'ai, the Genji samurai, who hadn't even had a chance to say his name, gritted his teeth.

"Miss Jiukong, please forgive me!"

Since the other side had no intention of letting them leave, they had no choice but to fight to the death.

As he charged forward, the samurai had already placed the 'demon sword' at his waist, assuming a standard 'drawing sword' stance.

"God's Dream Style: One-Slash Slash!"

This is the standard 'Iaijutsu', which originated from Hayashizaki Jinsuke, the founder of the 'Hayashizaki Myojin Musou-ryu'. Legend has it that this six-year-old boy, seeking revenge for his father, diligently practiced swordsmanship and received divine guidance in a dream, thus mastering a deadly Iaijutsu: before the enemy could even draw his sword, his head had already fallen to the ground.

brush----

The demonic blade was drawn, its silver light tracing a perfect arc!
This strike, it's unknown how much it falls short compared to the legendary Hayashi Jinsuke; but under the pressure of life and death, the Genji samurai believed it was his strongest strike!
A flash of silver light appeared, and the samurai rushed to the back of Jiu Kong Yao Ai; maintaining the posture of swinging a sword, his neck stiffly turning his head little by little.

why? !

That last strike missed!
Is it some kind of high-speed dodging technique?
"Get away!!"

The Onmyoji of the Igotani family shouted, his hands, hidden beneath his wide robes and sleeves, had already secretly completed the hand seals.

"Dragon Fire Technique!"

A straight flame shot out from the Onmyoji's mouth, leaving a crimson trail as it flew, expanding continuously until it was large enough to engulf Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

However, such an attack is too slow for a skilled opponent. Therefore:
"Amitabha!"

As the Buddhist chant was recited in a deep and resonant voice, Master Kuchan clapped his hands together.

Two enormous golden hands appeared on either side of Jiu Kong Yao Ai, mimicking the old monk's movements, and suddenly slammed towards the center.

Snapped---

Boom~~~
He clasped his hands together, and flames roared past.

The Onmyoji and the old monk who launched the attack together both had their eyes wide open.
Their attack was like an illusion, passing through Jiu Kong Yao Ai's body: as if the two were not on the same level, completely undisturbed by each other.

It almost burned the Genji samurai behind Kusora to a crisp on the spot.

phantom?!
The two were very clear that
My attack could not have been a bluff.

Therefore, the only explanation is:
"Do you all think that I'm just an 'illusion'?"

As if sensing the shock of the others, Jiu Kong Yao Ai, without dodging or blocking, raised her hand, her fair fingers aiming at the Onmyoji of the Igoya family.

"Bang!"

Amidst the girl's playful voice, the Onmyoji's upper body seemed to have been bitten by an invisible beast, a large chunk suddenly disappearing! His chest, neck, and head vanished.
No, it didn't disappear; it was blasted into a bloody mist.

It is a technique similar to 'practice empty bullets'.

The old monk's eyes flashed, and he immediately saw through the nature of this attack.

"See, I'm 'truthful and genuine'~~"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai spun around triumphantly and waved to the remaining two.

"Come on, keep attacking."

The samurai and the old monk remained motionless.
"Tch, boring."

Kyuuya waved disappointedly at the Genji samurai.

"get out."

"Teach, let's go."

?

It wasn't until Kyuuku Yoai left with Marshall Teach that the Genji warriors, who had narrowly escaped death, turned around and noticed the already dead Master Kuzen.

Since there was no chance of resistance, the master simply cut off his own chance of survival, giving the chance to live to the Genji warriors.

After all, Jiu Kong Yao Ai is a 'big shot', and she naturally wouldn't easily go back on her word.

If we say we'll keep one, then we'll keep one!
"Master, you..." The warrior, having come to his senses, looked sorrowful, but then forced himself to cheer up.

Now is not the time for sadness: 'Nine Empty Shakes Love,' who escaped from prison some time ago, has reappeared, and we must report it immediately.

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.

"Nine Void Shaking Love".

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Chief's office, Chief Takeya put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses, and pressed his furrowed brow.

"Are you sure she escaped from the 'Underworld'?"

"Yes, Director."

The secretary nodded emphatically in response.
"This news was brought back by the sole survivor, a member of the Genji family."

Since Tenma was already the 'Emperor' of this era, he naturally needed 'royal attendants' to embellish his image. He bestowed surnames upon the imperial bloodline he had gathered, following custom. Because Tenma was too lazy to think too much, he also followed the custom of 'coming from the same source' and called them the Minamoto clan.

In fact, after a thousand years of branching out and changing names, there are very few people who are actually called 'Genji'.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Tianma now 'open source' again.

"Is that so?"

Director Zhu Ya put her glasses back on.

They deliberately 'released' Jiu Kong Yao Ai; as long as she doesn't cause any major trouble, they'll let her be.

Because she is involved in many things, with countless powerful figures and demons battling it out; the Metropolitan Police Department, as 'mortals', has no desire to provoke her at all.

"Very well, Xiao has gone to America."

If Xiao were still in Japan, he might have been 'kidnapped' by Jiu Kong Yao Ai at any time.

After all, given Xiao's kind-hearted nature, he most likely wouldn't refuse Jiu Kong.

Now, Mai has been beaten so badly that she's practically a different person; Higashi, Takami, and the other two are always bickering and arguing, obeying orders but not orders; only Takami is still able to cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department, and is now considered the face of the government.

The demiplane's 'god-making' plan is underway.
However, due to the absence of 'Takamagahara', the difficulty of achieving godhood has become extremely high, and in a hurry, it is impossible to form a fighting force.
"Director, should we send someone to investigate Jiu Kong Yao Ai's whereabouts?"

The voice in her ear brought Director Zhuya back to her senses.

"No need,"

The director waved his hand.

"We will focus our attention on 'Heian-kyo'."

There's no need to waste manpower and resources everywhere. Given Kyuuku Aoi's personality, if her strength increases significantly, the first thing she'll do is definitely go and cause trouble for Abe no Seimei.

In fact, the alarm sounded shrilly the moment the director finished speaking.

"Major explosions have occurred in the Osaka area, near Heian-kyo!"

"The core fireball has a range of 1,500 meters and a ripple effect range of 13,000 meters, with an energy level equivalent to a megaton nuclear bomb; strange."

The secretary quickly read out the message from the tablet in her hand, her expression slightly puzzled.

The 'Little Boy' fireball that the island nation experienced only reached a height of 200 meters and had a yield of 15,000 tons. Compared to the explosion that just occurred in Heian-kyo, it's a mere trifle. Moreover, this restrained yet extraordinary explosion is far more powerful than a nuclear weapon. However:
too weak!
Based on the island nation's assessment of Jiu Kong Yao Ai, her strength is sufficient to create a national annihilation explosion equivalent to a single bomb weighing hundreds of millions of tons: a dozen or so of them could easily blast the island nation into the sea.

The explosion that just happened was most likely a 'phantom cannon,' its power was really too weak.

"Perhaps that young lady has learned her lesson,"

"Perhaps she was just testing the waters."

Director Zhuya pushed up her glasses. An explosion in Heian-kyo?

So, it wasn't transferred away by Abe no Seimei? How did that Kujou Yui manage to do that?

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.

a few minutes ago,

"Hmph, Heian-kyo."

Stepping into the mist, Jiu Kongyao squinted at the ancient city before her, sneering repeatedly.

This is that man's lair, the place of revenge she has been longing for day and night;

Today, she will complete her revenge here, because she is.
"Hey, you human over there."

A crow tengu flew over and raised its chin at Jiu Kongyao.

"This is not a place you can just wander around!"

For some reason, Heian-kyo and the island nation's government reached a private reconciliation, and the patrolling 'Crow Tengu' no longer kill anyone they see.

However, apart from a few areas designated for government development of the demiplane, even if other areas are accessible, humans can only walk on specific streets: this is both to protect humans and to protect the residents here.

"Ha, I'll leave right away."

Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who already looked somewhat like a young girl, spread her hands.
"Before that, I'd like to give you a gift."

In her palm,
It's a small, jet-black ball!

???

The tengu was stunned and before it could react, the black sphere suddenly expanded, radiating a pure white light that coated everything!
boom------------

Fake Dog Cannon!
"Huh huh huh~~"

On Mount Otowa next to Tokyo, Kyuu Sora looked at the fireball rising in the distance, feeling even more cheerful.

"Bomb it and run, that's so exciting!"

Such an attitude left Teach speechless. "What kind of child are you?!"

No, our 'boss' is really just a kid.

"This time, I'll personally go deep into Heian-kyo and see what you can do then."

Rumble rumble rumble~~~~
Before Jiu Kong Yao Ai could finish speaking, Heian-kyo, which had been blasted with a huge hole by the 'Virtual Dog Cannon', suddenly flipped over like a 'mirror'.

The scorched earth was transformed into streets, green willows, and cherry blossoms as it was turned over. Complete buildings emerged from below, and like pieces of a Rubik's Cube, they were reassembled to form a complete city.

In the blink of an eye, Heian-kyo, which had just been hit by a 'phantom dog cannon', returned to its former appearance.

You can even see strangely shaped 'hundred ghosts' looking up in confusion:

They were probably pondering why the fog in the sky had disappeared.

"Damn Abe no Seimei, he actually had this trick up his sleeve!"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai stomped her feet in anger, thinking about how she had taken a huge risk to enter Heian-kyo just to overturn that man's residence; yet he had restored everything without even showing his face.

He clearly didn't want to talk to her.

I'm so angry!
"let's go."

It seems this method won't work.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai turned around without hesitation. Since that was the case, she would try a different approach.

"Now I am invincible!"

Seeing Jiu Kong giving himself a dose of self-poisonous healing, Teach's eyes flickered behind him.

Indeed, in some ways, today's young ladies can call themselves 'invincible'.
