I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 661 Today, I, Zhu Yachun, will become a god!

"Watch out, there's another enemy over there!"

With veins bulging at the corners of her eyes, Shimizu Ami had entered the 'God's Eye' state;
A quick glance revealed that besides the 'death by a thousand cuts' and 'punishment by sticks', there was another invisible entity standing brazenly on the opposite side of the battlefield.

"Oh, so you can actually detect the presence of 'decapitation'?"

The 'stick punishment' with wooden stakes piercing his body noticed Shimizu Ami's eyes and immediately realized what was happening.

"It's Amaterasu's 'Eye of God'!"

As evil spirits of this era, they also play with mobile phones.

Ami Shimizu's eyes are so distinctive that, not just in Japan, but across the entire world, probably no one wouldn't recognize her.

"This guy's a bit tricky, let's take her down first—"

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!

On the other side, two small katanas and a door-sized decapitation sword clashed fiercely. The figure of 'Lingchi' and Xiao had become a blur, leaving only countless bolts of lightning and sparks shooting out, like a strange ball of energy cutting and shattering everything around them.

"I have no interest in the weak."

The one who was being slowly tortured during the fierce battle replied with a single sentence.

"It's up to you now. Behead him."

Since the strongest form of 'death by a thousand cuts' had no objection, the cane punishment immediately raised its chin towards Shimizu Ami.

The opponent's 'God's Eye' completely counters 'Decapitation', which can permanently become invisible, so 'Decapitation' should deal with it itself.

There was no response from the air.
But as Shimizu Ami's gaze shifted, she clearly 'saw' an enemy hurtling towards her at high speed!

The 'Decapitation' among the Espada possesses the ability 'Transparent Escape'. With his Demon-level strength and the 'Transparent Escape' ability, even a Tiger-level superhuman would not have time to react before his head falls to the ground.

"Protect the Prince!"

Several Genji samurai around drew their swords and shouted.

However, a maid had already gone to greet her alone.

"Hmm, judging from Xiao Yamei's perspective, it's roughly around this location."

As she muttered to herself with her head down, the maid stepped onto the ground: in an instant, the earth and rocks beneath her feet exploded outwards with a roar, carried by 'spiritual power' like a giant fountain, surging forward.

This is a technique she learned from a powerful player in the King of Fighters world.

Energy Fountain
boom------!
?

brush,

A beam of light flashed by.
Like a sailfish parting the water, it cleanly and decisively cleaves the earthen fountain in two.

However, this turned the assassination into a frontal assault, and the dust and debris in the sky, along with the tearing trails they left, already indicated the location of the enemy.

"What a brilliant invisibility technique."

The 'maid' with her feet firmly planted on the ground flashed and charged towards the opponent without any fear.

"This kind of battle is sure to be very interesting~~"

During the charge,
The maid suddenly tilted her head.

brush----

An invisible beam of light flew past her high 'hair bun' and shot out over a hundred meters; the trees and forests along the way were sliced ​​in half at an angle, and only then did the Genji warriors belatedly realize the trajectory of the attack.

"That's really ruthless."

The old-fashioned bun was cut off, revealing the smooth, shoulder-length hair below and the face of a young girl.

A face that belongs to 'Hina Hongo'!
"What a sharp blade! Coming this time was definitely the right decision—"

With words of joy escaping her lips, she swung her shoulder, accompanied by a sonic boom that echoed across the battlefield; the girl's arm lashed forward like a whip, striking the air in front of her amidst rings of white air currents.

Clang! !

Clap your hand down,

Amidst the resounding clang of metal piercing the sky,
The shape of a transparent samurai sword is completely outlined under the five fingers.

The air rippled outwards like water, even revealing the 'transparent warrior' behind the sword.

"Huh? Even this won't work?"

Amidst the surprised and doubtful voices, Hongo Hime showed no fear on her face, only increasing interest.

"Looks like we're headed for a tough fight—"

As she said this, the girl waved her arms rapidly and disappeared completely.

Only the continuous spread of sonic booms: relying on this method of drawing out ripples from the air, even without the "Eye of God," Hongo Hime was able to lock onto this demon-level evil spirit called "Decapitation."

Of course, not to mention that this method consumes a lot of physical and spiritual energy.

Even just the bare hands against a famous sword is an extremely dangerous act!

"Amazing"

"As expected of President Hime!"

Several Genji warriors stared wide-eyed as this young Kengan-kai patriarch single-handedly blocked the permanently invisible 'decapitation' attack.

The girl described it as a "bitter battle" and "strong-willed"; however, it was clear to anyone with eyes that she had the upper hand.

"Are we going to help?"

The other two 'maids' also removed their heavy hair buns and took off their disguises.

"No need, little Ji Nai is not someone who needs help."

As the two revealed their true identities, they were naturally Hongo Hina's 'teammates' Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo.

"Little Ji Nai has once again stepped into the 'Grandmaster' realm,"

Kasumi Todo looked at her friend, who was locked in fierce combat with the 'invisible man,' and couldn't help but admire her.

"She can handle it all by herself."

The so-called "Grandmaster" level is a term used in the "King of Fighters world" they inhabit; converted to this world, it would be equivalent to the Demon level.

Hina Hongo was once a Demon-level being, but she was drained of her power by Touma Kamijou once, causing her to drop back to a normal level; with her temperament and skills, she quickly regained her power.

This time, Hina Hongo can pursue her dream of becoming the 'strongest human' without worry.

"So--"

Mai Shiranui's gaze,
The blow landed on the body of the 'stick torture' victim, whose entire body was covered in wooden stakes protruding from his body.

"Let's take this guy down."

During this time, Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo have been quite busy.

With guidance from the technically proficient master, Hina Hongo, and sparring with the world's strongest fighters, both female fighters have gained a great deal.

They haven't yet reached the 'Grandmaster' level, but they've already touched the threshold: moreover, the two of them already know that these 'Ten Blades' are Grandmaster-level evil spirits. Although their 'qi' is extremely powerful, their abilities are relatively singular. If they know this in advance, they are not without a chance of winning.

"No,"

However, a voice stopped Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo.

"You two, please protect Princess Shimizu."

Carrying a giant scroll-like 'explosive blade,' Director Zhuya walked past the crowd and headed alone toward 'the cane punishment.'

"Leave this enemy to me."

? !
Ah this
Both sides on the battlefield were stunned.

It seems that the strength of the 'Ten Blades' of Kuku Yua is determined by their ranking. Takashi blocked the 'Lingchi' of the third seat, Hongo Hime fought against the 'Beheading' of the fourth seat, and the 'Guan Xing' of the eighth seat is still left on the field.

Originally, it was supposed to be Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo who dealt with it, but now Director Takeya has 'volunteered' for it.

"Just you?"

The person opposite, covered in wooden stakes and subjected to 'stick torture,' couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop looking down on me!!"

The next second, the laughter turned into manic rage. "A mere Tiger-level monster? I'll slay you and see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"

brush---

His response was that of Director Zhu Ya, who charged forward with a sword drawn.

The next moment, huge wooden stakes suddenly shot out from under the director's feet!
In a sense, this "stick punishment" also uses Wood Release, but it is only "ordinary" Wood Release, and it only knows one move: "Insertion Technique".

However, ninjutsu can often be a bit like "overpowering a brick": as long as enough chakra is injected, one move can take you anywhere in the world.

For example, the Crown Prince's 'shadow clones' that have exhausted countless powerful enemies.

Facing the dozens of sharp wooden stakes rushing towards her from below, Director Zhu Ya, who was prepared, pushed off with her feet and flew into the air.

At the same time, the 'Exploding Blade' in his hand suddenly slashed downwards:
"Hair broken, strangled to death!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
With a swing of the explosive blade, explosive tags lit up on the scroll-like blade and then exploded.

A deafening, thunderous roar followed, and the halos of the explosion spread outwards from beneath them in layers, blasting numerous wooden stakes protruding from the ground into a shower of wood chips. This was a superb sword, on par with the decapitation sword. The reason the director was still only at the Tiger level was simply because he had been working overtime every day and had neglected his cultivation.

"Let's see how many you can block."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the 'stick punishment' was raised, thick wooden stakes burst forth from the ground once more, their number not just hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands!

Like a rising 'mountain', it pierced the director from all directions.

"not good!"

"The Director's Explosion—"

The Genji samurai guarding Shimizu Ami's side changed his expression.
Such a dense barrage of attacks is too much for even the 'Exploding Blade' to clear out in a short time!

Her vision was suddenly filled with a 'mountain of knives' formed by countless sharp points, and with Director Zhu Ya's strength, there was indeed no way to escape.

but--

it's time.

"I am the living god!"

Taking a deep breath, Director Zhu Ya began to murmur.

? ? ? ?
Despite possessing the strength of a demon-level being 'Guns of Punishment', the attack he launched was incredibly fast;
However, as Director Zhuya shone with golden light, the wooden stakes suddenly slowed down.

Director Zhuya was once just a 'human,' but the 'power of faith' he gathered was definitely no less than that of an ordinary god: he had been the one who struggled to maintain the extraordinary situation of the entire island nation. Whether it was the government, the Metropolitan Police Department, or the general public, countless people actually 'prayed' to him every day.

With the example of Mai Kawai, the director already knew the way to become a 'god'; it was just a matter of whether he was willing to use it!

Now, it's time to take that step.

"this--?"

"Thunder shook the thousand-foot border."

"Exploding infernal flames!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone/the evil spirits, Director Zhuya swung the explosive blade in her hand once more.

This time, he directly activated the complete 'mutual detonation array' on the blade: beams of light from explosions lit up in front of him!

Each explosion gives rise to several more explosions out of thin air; and these explosions, in turn, give rise to even more explosions—it's a supernatural version of a 'chain reaction': as long as spiritual power is limitless, the explosions are endless.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times—

An explosion of indescribable density, generating boundless light, heat, and shockwaves, erupted from the director's core.

The orange-red light from the explosion spread and crushed downwards in an incredible and terrifying manner: the giant 'mountain' that had risen from the ground immediately collapsed and crumbled, with wooden stakes everywhere breaking, decomposing, shattering, and vaporizing!
The entire battlefield was shaking violently, causing the other two opposing teams to frown.

Such a 'brutal' fighting style is really too boring.

However, Director Zhuya's 'explosive knife'
There are no tricks involved; it's all about using brute force to overcome skill!

boom----------

The explosions were so frequent and continuous that the sound became a continuous chorus.

As the director's sword continued its trajectory, it swiftly and decisively neutralized the 'stick punishment' attack; and Director Zhuya's voice continued to ring out:
"Iron chains bind a hundred demons,"

Blood cleanses the divine realm and purifies the world!

Splash,

Golden chains shot out from his hands and instantly wrapped around 'Guns'.

This is not a sealing technique like 'Diamond Lockdown', but a 'technique' that Director Takeya has been conceiving for many years to complement 'Exploding Blade'.

Previously, there was neither the time nor the ability to implement it, but at this moment of 'ascension to godhood', Director Zhuya has enough spiritual power to squander in order to construct this spell—as these golden chains wrapped around the 'stick punishment', countless mental shocks immediately surged into this 'evil spirit'.

'To slaughter the innocent and derive pleasure from cruelty; their crimes are unforgivable, and they deserve to be punished!'

'guilty! guilty! guilty! '

According to the law, he should be executed!

'cut!'

'cut!'

'cut!'

As Director Zhu Ya loudly pronounced the verdict, countless questions, accusations, roars, and shouts from the victims immediately erupted, causing the 'cangue punishment' to stumble.

This is a mental attack, which seems simple, but as the saying goes, "When a thousand people point fingers, even without illness, one will die," not to mention that there are more than a thousand.

"Ah!! You have no right to judge me—"

The violently struggling "stick-punisher" raised his head, his face suddenly contorted in extreme pain, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his hair disheveled.

At the same time, the blood seeping from the wooden stakes quickly turned black and hardened; wriggling maggots emerged from his flesh and blood, and multiplied wildly by sucking the rotten blood; suddenly a stench filled the air, flies swarmed, and it looked like a rotting corpse.

"It is 'you' who made me who I am!"

"Pain, suffering, torment, my hatred echo in the underworld!!"

Accompanied by the pain and resentment of the 'beating with sticks,' like a roar from the deepest part of hell, the earth trembled! Giant wooden stakes shot into the sky.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~
These jagged wooden stakes, like a forest, like a mountain, like a peak, point diagonally towards the sky;
From each giant wooden stake sprouted countless smaller stakes, all sharp as thorns, covered in mottled bloodstains that were chilling; everything exuded a fierce, violent, and bloody aura.

Across countless sprawling, forked wooden stakes, human figures are pierced through: stakes enter through anus and exit through mouth.

These figures were struggling and crying out incessantly; yet they were nailed to the wooden stakes, unable to escape.

The Buddha's Discourse on the Eighteen Hells states: The third hell is called the Iron Tree. One who dwells in the capital suffers one great hardship, and one who dwells in the county of Lu is said to be about twenty. People say that one is beaten to death. Those who dwell in this hell are pierced on the back day and night without rest.
"Iron Tree Hell!!"

Accompanied by the angry howl of the 'stick punishment',

The earth was instantly replaced by countless 'iron trees' that pierced through human bodies, covering the entire battlefield.

If used in a city, a single move could pierce through millions of people and leave them suspended in mid-air, unable to live or die!
Faced with this hellish scene before her, Director Zhuya didn't even flinch. With one hand, she gripped the golden chain binding the "stick punishment," while with the other, she continuously swung the "explosive knife."

Originally, the 'mutually multiplied explosive tags' was a forbidden technique for him.

However, after using the power of faith to reach the Demon level, it becomes a skill that can be used freely.

"Qiongyu Imperial Inscription"

Slaughter can also be used as a means of upholding the rule of law!

After reciting the last verse of the waka poem, Director Takeya walked straight ahead.

"Everything, go explode! Go ...

Giant iron tree?

And countless evil spirits?
Director Zhu Ya completely ignored everything else and just focused on charging forward;
Explosions, stretching over hundreds of meters, continued unabated, destroying everything in sight!

Don't think about anything, don't care about anything, just swing the knife—that's enough.

Such a frenzied display of power even made the 'stick punishment' pause in shock.

Are you an evil spirit, or am I?!
