I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 595 Wind Release Chakra Mode

Waaaaahh ...
The wind howled, the waves surged, the clouds were thick, and it felt like the end of the world.

Giant tornadoes stretched from the sky to the earth, each powerful enough to destroy a city into ruins. So-called armies and horses were nothing more than ants. However, such a magnificent natural disaster was not used for attack, but merely served as the 'background' of the battle.

Or rather, it was a cage and arena used by the man who called himself Goenitz to imprison people!
bang————

Terry Bogard, known as the "Legendary Wolf," stood with his arms crossed in front of him, maintaining the defensive stance of "Bajiquan" with his chest in, back straight, shoulders relaxed, and elbows dropped.

But under the terrifying impact, he was still unable to stop himself from falling backward, and two hideous cracks were dragged out of the steel deck, like the claw marks of a giant beast.

Brush, ×2
As Terry was being blasted away, two agile figures had already passed him.

These were two burly men in grass-green camouflage uniforms; one had a red headscarf covering his head, and the other wore a military cap and sunglasses; both had cold, hard expressions and showed no fear.

Team 'Rage' members: Ralph, Clark.

As top elites among mercenaries, they don't actually like fighting alone.

Cooperative encirclement and suppression is what they excel at!
Taking advantage of the lull in the enemy's fight against Terry, two mercenaries braved the fierce winds that felt like a thousand cuts and rushed to the man who called himself 'The Breath of the Storm' from the left and right.

boom--

Wearing a red headscarf, Ralph threw a punch, and a blindingly bright light suddenly burst from his fist.

Northern Lightning Bolt!

Or, to use a more fitting name: Flashbang Punch.

On the other hand, the hands holding the military cap and sunglasses clapped together, and ripples spread out from the palms.

Rotating Cradle!

The essence of this move is the same as a 'stun grenade'.

As soldiers, the fighting techniques they developed all have a strong military style: because they know their comrades' attacks inside and out, they are naturally prepared for strong light and sound waves.

However, the opponent's sight and hearing will be instantly deprived.

In the midst of scorching white and deathly silence, the two simultaneously unleashed their ultimate techniques: four muscular hands grabbed each other's arms from the left and right, twisting them forcefully!
Super Argentina Flash! ×2
???

However, the combined ultimate move of the two could not move the opponent even slightly!
However, they did manage to restrict Goenitz's hands. Don't forget, the King of Fighters teams are in groups of three.

brush----

While her companions held the enemy back, a third person—a girl also wearing grass-green camouflage pants but a stretchy tank top—rushed towards Goenitz with a military knife in hand. The knife, gleaming dimly, shot towards Goenitz's heart.

A majestic military knife!

"Ok?"

The black saber made Goenitz glance down slightly.

"You can already use the power of 'God'? That's right—"

The next moment, without Goenitz making any move, the two iron-blooded soldiers were thrown out in a sorry state, one on the left and one on the right.

The girl's attack reached the middle-aged priest, but the saber could not advance an inch!
? !
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with sky-blue hair tied in a fluffy high ponytail was stunned, and even the iron-blooded face couldn't help but show a moment of blankness.

She could understand being dodged, blocked, or even having her weapon taken away.

But the saber won't stab down, why?

"It seems you can only passively use a little bit of divine power,"

Goenitz only glanced at the girl's attack and was filled with disappointment; she was his 'comrade,' yet she was pitifully weak.

That's right, this girl is also one of the 'Eight Heroes'!

Leona Haderland
Strictly speaking, it was her father, Gader, who was the 'Eight Heroes'.

However, when she was a child, Goenitz found her father and asked him to join the great cause of 'resurrecting the serpent'. However, because she had a wife and daughter, Geder refused Goenitz's order. Defeated by the ruthless Goenitz, he smeared blood on the young Leona, causing Leona to go berserk and kill her parents.

"Let me help you one more time."

Speaking in a language Leanna couldn't understand, the middle-aged priest had already placed his finger on her forehead.

"Wake up!"

? !
In a flash,

The girl named Leona was instantly overwhelmed by consciousness.

Before she could react, a magnificent yet wildly intense scene unfolded before her eyes.

Howling winds, dazzling lightning, boundless earth, scorching flames; and colossal beasts moving mountains and filling seas, coming and going like the wind, fighting and devouring in an extremely wild and primitive place. But behind these magnificent scenes, there seems to be a bottomless darkness and the unknown, and an unsettling, chilling stench wafts over!

The next second, eight enormous heads appeared in Leona's consciousness.

"roar-------"

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"

In reality, all that everyone saw was the middle-aged priest pointing a finger at Leona's forehead. The adopted daughter of Heidern, the leader of the famous mercenary organization, suddenly screamed madly, her pupils turning blood red, clearly having lost all reason.

"Leona?!" x2
The two burly men in military uniforms who were thrown out were shocked. Before they could say anything, the military knife with a dark gleam drew a deadly trajectory and slashed at Ralph, who was wearing a red headscarf!

Crusher: Heavy Duty Military Knife
brush,

Instinctively, he rolled over and scrambled away. Ralph glanced at the scene and broke out in a cold sweat.

Before Leona's saber could strike, the aircraft carrier deck was silently torn apart; a dark, smooth crack stretched to the end of the deck, and even left a straight mark on the roaring sea!

How did Leona suddenly become so strong?
"Hehehe, another great demon. No, according to your world's terminology, it's called the Eight Heroes, right?"

Amidst delighted laughter, Hongo Hina, who had just exchanged information with Iori Kazuka, took the initiative to approach the 'berserk' Leona: the girl with bloodshot eyes didn't care who the other party was at all, and swung her sword without hesitation!

Just like when she was a child, Goenitz smeared her father's blood on her, and she went berserk and killed her parents.

brush----

A dark blade flashed, leaving another straight crack on the aircraft carrier deck, slicing through two unfortunate fighters in the path of the attack.

However, Hina Hongo, the target, had already dodged the attack.

"Some kind of highly destructive attack?"

Hongo Hina's gaze fell on the berserk girl's military knife.
That dark light must be some kind of ability, possessing great destructive power; but it doesn't matter, close-combat Demon level:
"Yes, it's worth a fight!"

As Hina Hongo began a high-speed battle with the suddenly 'berserk' Leona, the other fighters all moved away from the battlefield.

They lacked Ji Nai's sharp "first strike" technique; if struck by the light of the dark military knife, they would instantly lose their hands and feet, or be decapitated.

"Another 'Gathering of Eight Heroes'?"

Amid the chaos, Iori Kazuka, who had retreated to the edge of the deck, frowned.

She wasn't from this world, nor did she have the madness of "seeing something she likes," so naturally she had no interest in going up and getting beaten up by that middle-aged pastor.

Besides, those weakling-level team captains were defeated in one move, so what would she, a strong tiger-level contestant, do up there?
“Giss, Mr. Big, shall we continue watching, or—?!”

Before Yi Hua could finish speaking, his hair stood on end.

"Oh, what do you want with the 'Eight Heroes'?"

The woman's voice behind him caused the 'Great General' to disregard the strain and unleash a sudden burst of spiritual power—

Bang! !

A burst of spiritual energy erupted, forming a semi-circle that expanded outwards! This was the "Explosive Qi" skill she developed, imitating the Pegasus's "Return to Heaven".

This method consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the damage it causes is almost negligible for superhumans of the same level; however, it can block various attacks and push away enemies in an emergency!

"What a brutal way to 'reject' you!"

The next moment, the voice behind them appeared in front.

Her long blonde hair was styled in a bun, and her features were those of a classic Nordic beauty. If she wore glasses, she would be the perfect secretary: in fact, she was a secretary.

Mature, the former secretary of the underworld boss Rugal.

"The three of you, can you tell me what you're whispering about?"

The blonde secretary gracefully extended her hand, making a 'please' gesture.

"Hey, what's with the nonsense?"

Click, click, click.
Another short-haired, wild-looking female secretary, Weiss, also came over, cracking her knuckles and revealing a cruel smile.

"Break their hands and feet first, then slowly interrogate them."

“Very good, Geese, Mr. Big.”

Yi Hua figured it out.
"These two secretaries seem to be part of the 'Eight Outstanding Individuals' group as well."

"Perfect,"

As the other party stopped concealing their aura, Geese Howard could sense the immense and terrifying power within the two secretaries!

Although powerful, it wasn't to the point of frightening him, so:
"Become the sustenance for my growth!"

"I'm starting to regret it,"

As he spoke, Mr. Big, bald and wearing sunglasses, pulled out a pair of black double rollers.

He had always thought of himself as someone important, but today, with people stronger than him appearing one after another, he had to admit that the world was no longer the way he knew it.

After this job, I'll retire.

The next second, the two beautiful female secretaries collided violently with the three underworld bosses.

The 2v3 battlefield suddenly erupted with a terrifying shockwave, sending nearby fighters flying like leaves!

"Gonitz!"

Amidst the angry shouts, a fist engulfed in raging flames hurtled toward the middle-aged priest.

The flames were a domineering crimson, bringing with them a surging wave of fire: the flames alone were enough to easily melt armored vehicles, not to mention the immense power capable of punching through skyscrapers.

124 Styles - Wild Bite!
Snapped,

The middle-aged priest simply raised his hand and easily caught the fist engulfed in flames.

"What's the point of talking about bravery when you've already lost?"

With a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the other person flying.

Goenitz didn't give Kyo Kusanagi a second glance, but instead focused his gaze on the other side: the arrogant red-haired man.

"Iori Yagami, as a contractor of God, why haven't you made a move yet?"

The surname Yagami means "to worship Yamata no Orochi as a god," and it is also proof of the fall of the former "Yasakani no Clan." However, not all members of the Yagami clan would obey Orochi, at least not this arrogant man!

"I will defeat Kyo Kusanagi,"

The red-haired man, with his hands in his pockets, showed no sign of panic or fear, even as he faced Goenitz, who was dominating the entire arena.

"But that's my own business. If you want to interfere—"

The man named Iori Yagami lowered his body, and his outstretched claws were engulfed in blazing purple flames.

"I'll kill you first!"

For Iori Yagami, defeating Kyo Kusanagi had nothing to do with destiny, hatred, family, or even honor: it was simply to prove himself.

"A dog that was given a blessing casually is now barking wildly at its owner?"

Goenitz's gaze was cold. After awakening the 'Serpent Power', he was no longer the gentle priest, but one of the 'Eight Heroes'.

"Fine, I'll do it—"

The next second, Iori Yagami had already crouched low and sped up in front of Goenitz, his purple flames slashing forward with his claws and surging out!

This was just a feint; his real killing move was his right leg, which suddenly shot out from below, also engulfed in blazing purple flames.
External Style - Axe Shadow

Almost simultaneously, Kyo Kusanagi, who had been thrown out, stepped on the ground and turned around to attack again;
The man leaps into the air during the charge, his kick, fueled by blazing crimson flames, descending from top to bottom:
External Style · Thunder Axe Sun

One kick down, one up; one red, one purple; the two kicks, though opposite, were almost indistinguishable and attacked Goenitz simultaneously!
The three families of the Sacred Treasures were originally the closest allies a thousand years ago. It was they who sealed away the 'Orochi,' saving this demi-plane from destruction; therefore, the fighting styles of the Kusanagi and Yagami families actually have a great deal of similarity.

You are still far from sufficient—

Faced with the combined attack of two of the world's top experts, the man named Goenitz simply raised his hand to block to the left and right.

BOOM!!! X2
The shockwave spread outwards, mixed with crimson and purple flames!

Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, who launched the attack, were sent flying, while Goenitz, who received the full force of their attack, stood unmoved and spotless in place.

So strong? !

As the world's top powerhouses, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami are figures that people usually look up to.

But today, for the first time, they felt terrifying pressure from other people!

"Be careful, there's a high concentration of 'wind' surrounding him."

A woman floated in amidst the cool, clear voice.

"Only if the three of us join forces can we have a chance of winning."

?

The person who arrived was none other than the organizer of this King of Fighters tournament: Chizuru Kagura!
"Kagura Manki?"

The middle-aged pastor, who called himself Goenitz, uttered another name with a puzzled look.

"I remember killing you, why?"

"Yes, you did kill me."

The cold voice spoke again, causing both Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami to frown slightly.

The person who came was indeed Kagura Chizuru, whom they knew, but she gave off a strange sense of incongruity.

Next second,
They would then know the reason.

"Right now, I reside in my sister's body."

Another 'Kagura Chizuru' emerged from Kagura Chizuru's body. This was not Kagura Chizuru performing a soul-body separation act, but rather her sister Kagura Manki: the former head of the Kagura family who was killed by the middle-aged priest in front of her.

"With the power of the divine artifact 'Yata no Kagami,' this time, I will surely seal you away!"

As the spirit 'Kagura Maki' spoke, Kagura Chizuru had already taken out an ancient mirror and pointed it at Goenitz:
As the mirror reflected his image, Goenitz suddenly became blurry, as if looking at flowers through fog, his face and figure indistinct: it was a raging wind, compressed to its extreme, a rapidly flowing gust of wind, forming an invisible 'armor' around his body.

This technique is called: Wind Release Chakra Mode!
