I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 582 Sneak attack!

In America, in the 'main world',

While the Burning Legion was waging war against the Veterans and the Clerics, the extraordinary beings in the demiplane were also taking intensive action.

Nanzhen

Central District
Shiranui Dojo.

"Wu, isn't your outfit a little too... um, too revealing?"

At Mai Shiranui's home, three beautiful women are drinking tea and chatting.

With her skill and experience, Hongo Hina quickly became acquainted with the other two 'teammates'.

Compared to Kasumi Todo's traditional samurai attire, Mai Shiranui's 'ninja outfit' is truly hard to look at directly—wait, maybe this is a special attack outfit designed for male fighters?

After all, if you were to fight her, it would be hard not to look at 'Big Thunder'.

"Hina-chan, your expression is very rude~~"

Mai Shiranui is also a fighter, so her observation skills are naturally excellent. She saw through Hina Hongo's expression at a glance: although it was Hina who 'intentionally' showed it to her.

"This suit of mine is a specially made fireproof suit."

"As you can see, my attack uses 'qi' to ignite flames as a supplementary attack, so..."

If it were ordinary clothes, Mai Shiranui would be running around naked on the spot after activating a skill; and even with the Shiranui family's wealth, they could only accumulate this much of this expensive, fireproof, and durable fabric.

It's not that I don't want to wear thicker clothes, it's just that I don't have enough money.

"I see,"

Kasumi Todo, who was kneeling upright beside her, nodded.

"My samurai uniform has been passed down for five generations, thankfully it doesn't need to be changed."

Ah, this—

Hongo Himeko realized what was happening.

She met Yu, Xiaoqiong's brother, at the beginning of the Extraordinary Rebirth, and then established the Kengan Association. She never lacked any extraordinary resources, so she naturally didn't have this kind of trouble.

After a battle, the damage to the environment caused by extraordinary masters is not only astronomical, but also to their own clothing, armor, and weapons!
"Maybe I can... no, Wu, you should just keep dressed like this, otherwise a lot of people will definitely hate me."

Hina, who originally wanted to change Mai's clothes, changed her mind after thinking about it.

?

"Speaking of which, what school of martial arts do you belong to, Hime?"

Since they are all female fighters, when they get together, they either talk about their clothes or about fighting.

Hime is the youngest of the three, but in terms of skill, even if you tie Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo together, they still can't compare to Hime with just one hand.

Ultimately, Ji Nai is not alone: ​​behind her is the entire Kengan Association. From those powerful individuals, Ji Nai learned many advanced techniques: Ghostly Strike, Divine Assistance, First Strike, Attack Dissipation Force, Consciousness Slash—her entire body is a kind of divine art.

"I don't belong to any genre,"

Ji Nai didn't hide it, since there was nothing to hide anyway.

"I'm willing to learn any new or interesting skill. Like this—"

As Hongo Himeko glanced at her, Mai Shiranui's pupils contracted: because she saw Hongo Himeko raise her hand to slap her.

That's not the point. The point is that the ripples emanating from Hina's palm are none other than Kasumi Toudou's 'Slash Wave'! On the other side, what Kasumi Toudou sees reflected in her eyes is Hina Hongo's kick with flames.

? ! X2
brush----

Both female fighters instinctively retreated, but stopped halfway back.

Because Hongo Hime was still sitting in the same spot, sipping her tea from her cup.

"This is?"

"Mind attack".

Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo are both from prestigious families, so they have this much knowledge.

A master can use 'killing aura' to intimidate people into immobility. Going further, they can even use 'consciousness' to simulate an attack: even before they draw their sword, the opponent has the illusion that they have already been killed.

The technique that Hina Hongo just used is just like that; in essence, it is a spiritual embodiment of the aura of a strong person.

Not only did it launch a simultaneous 'sneak attack' on the two of them, but it also used the techniques of both of them; even if it was just a simulation using their consciousness, it was still terrifying enough.

“Amazing~~”

The samurai girl, Kasumi Todo, looked at him with adoration.
She believed she had diligently practiced since childhood and had mastered the true essence of the 'Toudou-ryu Ancient Martial Arts,' but compared to this teammate—

He's practically a little devil from a dojo.

"Indeed very strong,"

Mai Shiranui is, after all, a 'veteran powerhouse,' having encountered many strong opponents in KOF.

"If it were Hime, she might be able to rank in the top five in the tournament."

"Oh?"

Hime smiled innocently at the evaluation of Mai Shiranui.

This is a sign of her excitement:

"Are there really five people stronger than me? Seriously—"

It's really exciting.

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.

On the other side, in the port area of ​​Nanzhen.

This place was originally established by a group of Puritan immigrants and later developed into the most important foreign trade port in South Town.

Every day, enormous amounts of wealth are traded here, and theoretically, this is the purse bag that the government must control; however, in reality, in this world where the disparity in strength is huge, in the end, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

Previously, the man who controlled the port area was named 'Mr. Big'.

Rumor has it that this Mr. Big was once an ace in the army, but was expelled for disregarding military discipline. He simply relied on his muscles and a pair of short sticks to carve out his own territory and became the 'uncrowned king' of South Town, untouchable by anyone.

Later, he was threatened by Geese Howard, a player who had crossed the river from Jiangxi.

However, because of his shady tactics, before he could be defeated by his rival Geese, he was taken down by the Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers of 'Kyokugen Karate'.

"Failure is only temporary,"

The top floor of a hotel in the port area.

In the luxurious presidential suite, I took a deep drag on my cigar, letting the smoke swirl around in my lungs;
A burly middle-aged man with a bald head, sunglasses, and a full beard leans back leisurely on a luxurious sofa, with one arm around a beautiful woman.

"I will return like lightning!"

The man wore a brown suit, white trousers, and a neckerchief; his muscles bulged out of his clothes, the typical look of a mafia boss.

He is indeed a mafia boss: Mr. Big, that is his name.

He can also be called Mr. Big.

"Darling, we believe you're the strongest~~"

“Gis is dead, and you are now the Dark King of Southtown.”

Two beautiful women leaned against him, offering what could hardly be called flattery: Mr. Big was indeed unlucky, having provoked the Dragon and Tiger Brothers and been brutally beaten. But his rival, Geese Howard, was similarly targeted by the Hungry Wolf Brothers and blasted to death from his landmark building, 'Geese Tower'.

"Yeah, it's a pity I can't kill that bastard Geese with my own hands!"

The bald man in sunglasses sighed with regret.

Geese was originally his opponent, but because he kidnapped Yuri Sakazaki, he was beaten senseless by the enraged Ryo Sakazaki.

Giss was killed by his fellow disciple's two adopted sons who came to seek revenge after killing him.
Both of the former "underground kings" of Nanzhen met such an end.

I often walk by the river, how can I not wet my shoes?
"No!"

The burly, bald man in sunglasses, Mr. Big, wasn't about to give up so easily. "Everything I've lost, I'll take back!"

He's not dead yet, so he can still fight.

"We believe in you,"

"Come, let's toast to future victories!"

The two blonde, blue-eyed beauties who were meticulously serving the burly man naturally believed in Mr. Big's abilities.

The last defeat was only because his top henchman, 'Joan,' betrayed him, and he underestimated the 'Kyokugen Karate' group.

Now, as long as we ignore those brutes,
By regaining control of the docks, he could still enjoy power.
The cup he was about to put to his lips paused, and the burly bald man in sunglasses seemed to be thinking about something.

until--

"Cough cough cough,"

The beautiful woman, who had also drunk the wine, suddenly coughed. She instinctively raised her hand to cover her mouth, but blood dripped from between her fingers.

"This is?"

"Mr. Big, this wine..."

The two beauties rose in horror, blood flowing continuously from their mouths and noses; before they could finish speaking, they collapsed.

"It seems you were unaware of this."

Seeing the two beauties struggling in vain in the pool of blood,
The burly man with a bald head and sunglasses looked up and his gaze fell on the door of the room.

"Come in, you sneaky fellows."

"what--"

Bang! !

The door was kicked open with a sudden, powerful kick.
With his hands in his pockets and leaning forward, Iori Kazuka, sporting a standard 'thug' look, was the first to step into the room.

Behind her followed the leaders of those extraordinary forces and the representatives of the Wu family, all half a step behind, following her lead.

"They're all unfamiliar faces,"

The bald, muscular Mr. Big glanced around behind his sunglasses and found that he didn't recognize a single person.

That's almost impossible: there are only so many fighting styles in this world, and anyone who wants to become stronger needs to learn and train. Even the military has its own set of boxing techniques. How can you become stronger by relying on unorthodox methods?
That's a gross underestimation of the world!

As the former leader of South Town, Mr. Big is not weak, and he is certainly knowledgeable.

But these guys—

"Who sent you?"

"Nobody's here~~"

When confronted by the bald, sunglasses-wearing, burly man, Iori Kazuka arrogantly spread his arms wide.

"Old man, we're here to replace you!"

?

"That's it,"

brush,

He stood up, took a step forward, and smashed the glass coffee table in front of him into countless shards.

Faced with this group of superhumans who looked like they were not to be trifled with, Mr. Big did not run away. Instead, he chose to charge straight at them!
踏、

Iori Kazuka didn't need to lift a finger.
A figure flashed behind him, and a burly man rushed out as well.

"Eat my punch!"

Amidst the roar of engines, the yakuza leader, whose half-body had been transformed into machinery, clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful punch.

A true fist of steel roared out with the force of a whirlwind, its power no less than that of a heavy-duty stamping press; coupled with the burly man's stride and twisting waist, it was enough to turn an armored vehicle into a pancake! But—

Mr. Big's flesh-and-blood fist swung out fearlessly, colliding with the burly man's mechanical hand.

Bang! ! !
A muffled thunderclap sounded from the ground, like an anti-tank mine exploding; the shockwave surged out, the hotel's windows shattered instantly, and even the walls were cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

The muscular mechanical man who had just charged forward staggered backward. After barely managing to regain his footing, he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and swayed unsteadily, almost collapsing to the ground on the spot if he hadn't been supported by the people around him.

One of the mechanical arms was twisted and drooping: this was a high-end product mixed with 'spiritual metal'!
"Mere steel,"

After knocking his opponent back with a single punch, the bald, sunglasses-wearing burly man named Mr. Big withdrew his fist and carried it behind his back.

"How can it compare to well-trained muscles?"

Behind the pretentious words,
It refers to the five fingers moving behind the back.

What kind of metal is this? Why is it so hard?
All the extraordinary beings were awestruck. They knew that the powerhouses of the 'demigod plane' were not weak, but a single punch had crippled one of them, who was known for his strength. Thus:
"Hahaha, isn't that only natural?"

Leaning forward, Iori Kazuka displays the standard villainous maniacal laugh, her entire body tense.

"He's supposed to be a big shot in his own right, if he doesn't even have this much strength—"

brush,

A figure flashed,
Iori Kazuka has already launched the first attack on the enemy.

Her punches lacked technique, but with the accumulation of Iori Ichika's first—no, second—artificial superhuman abilities, her fists easily reached supersonic speeds. A surge of spiritual energy enveloped her fists, forming a blurry, enormous 'gauntlet,' which she unleashed with the power of a train cannon.

?

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!
A series of explosions suddenly rang out on the top floor of a hotel in the port area.

It was as if two high-speed trains had collided head-on, with subsequent carriages crashing forward in a chain reaction, accompanied by deafening, continuous rumbling thunder!
Visible ripples spread outwards from the top floor in all directions, the roof was instantly ripped off, and large and small pieces of twisted steel and concrete, as well as glass shards, spread out in a plane; even the building where the hotel was located was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Again, again, again!"

Amidst the scattered debris from the building, two figures rushed out of the building.

With his fists flying out like a storm, Yi Hua had mastered quite a few fighting techniques, but he still found the simple act of punching the most exhilarating!

Before her extraordinary rebirth, she joined the Metropolitan Police Department merely to "legally" use violence. But now, her body, confined to the Imperial Palace every day, is boiling with rage—

"Hahaha~~~"

Amidst the maniacal laughter came a series of blows imbued with murderous intent.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Because the swings were so fast, it seemed as if dozens of fists were simultaneously unleashed; Mr. Big's clothes were instantly torn apart as he raised his arms to fight, revealing his bronze, steel-like muscles.

Where did this crazy woman come from?
The opponent is quite strong, but for Mr. Big, he is only quite strong; not enough to throw him into a panic.

He just couldn't understand why, even though he was being so 'low-key,' people were still coming to his door.
brush,

During his fall, Mr. Big performed a backflip and landed lightly on the street in front of the hotel. His effortless movement proved that his skills were also quite impressive.

"Since you want to play, I'll play along to the end."

Suddenly pulling out two short sticks from behind, the bald, sunglasses-wearing burly man finally regained his aura of strength.

"It wasn't me, it was us—"

Snapped,

Iori Kazuka, who had also fallen, raised his hand and pointed at Mr. Big.

"Fuck me!"

Seven or eight figures descended from the sky and charged toward Mr. Big.

And the rubble of the collapsed building hadn't even completely fallen yet!
