I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 669 Young Miss: I Will Stand in the Heavens!

"People of America,"

"I know your anger, unease, and demands, but please be patient—"

"This is a new beginning, and we will definitely win; although it will not be easy, we must persevere, and the final result will be historic."

The American blonde president's speech could be heard on radio, television, and cell phones throughout America, but to no avail.

A large number of American nobles and their associates, a portion of the superhuman army, and most importantly, the most mysterious 'Guild of Veterans' suddenly disappeared.

This kind of thing can't be hidden at all: hundreds of thousands of people disappeared, and those middle-level employees who were not qualified to get a 'ticket' suddenly found that their bosses and superiors had disappeared. After contacting each other, they immediately found out the truth.

Those powerful and influential people have already fled!
"traitor!!"

"This is despicable treason—"

"Bullshit, those guys are already in space, drinking red wine and laughing at our struggles!"

Crowds took to the streets in a surge of emotion, and more than 1200 demonstrations and marches covered almost all the cities, large and small, under the president's control.

As for the 'Holy Church' faction? They have the protection of the 'Father in the Sea,' so we can just watch the show with glee.

However, even while watching a play, there were still many incidents of panic buying in supermarkets;
What will tomorrow be like in this day and age?
No one can tell.

However, the situation in America was just a minor incident; the real key was the battle on the island nation.

All countries and all forces are closely watching the island nation of Osaka.

Peaceful Beijing!
The whole world knows about Jiu Kong Yao Ai's complicated relationship.

If she is ultimately going to attack that place, then Kyoto, which has been restored to the name 'Heian-kyo', will undoubtedly be her first target.

The question now is: when will she—no, when will He—appear?

Osaka South,

As a major global city, Osaka is naturally located by the sea and developed by relying on large-scale and inexpensive sea freight.

But that was then. After someone presented the 'Moonlit Princess' with a gift: a new moon, the entire Pacific coastline dropped by hundreds of meters: former seaside cities became inland land.

Wakayama and Tokushima prefectures have become connected due to the drop in sea level.

In this place that was once called the 'Kii Waterway', large, dense construction sites are halfway completed.

Oh, and there's also the famous Naruto Strait here, renowned for its powerful whirlpools: a huge whirlpool forms on the calm, azure surface, outlining circular patterns. The Ōnaruto Bridge spans the Naruto Strait, and there's a walkway on it—the Uzushio-no-Michi—offering panoramic views of the sea.

That's right, the young master's name 'Naruto Uzumaki' refers to this place.

The sea has now receded, and on this construction site, various engineering vehicles are overturned haphazardly, along with fragmented human figures.

brush----

"Damn it, damn it!!"

The lightning flashed past, first carving a deep crack in the earth;

Then came the explosion, the flying debris, and the subsequent cutting into countless fragments.

"Surrender now, you have nowhere to run."

While the lightning-fast 'death by a thousand cuts' was indeed formidable, the armored girl who relentlessly pursued her was no pushover either.

Wielding an extremely long 'nodachi', the demon princess was equally fast. Moreover, she was a 'human', a 'sword', and a 'demon' all at once. Lightning struck her and was effortlessly conducted into the ground, causing no damage whatsoever, much to the 'lingchi' man's utter frustration.

The heavily armored girl in front of him was so irritating that he couldn't be electrocuted or cut through her, driving him to the brink of madness.

"Hmph, I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

Since that's the case, the 'death by a thousand cuts' will no longer be spared.

"Thunder is coming——"

As the retreating Lingchi shouted, bolts of lightning crashed down from the rolling dark clouds in the sky: and the small katana that Lingchi raised was a lightning rod.

Boom, boom, rumble!

The bolts of lightning struck his blade, but did not harm 'Lingchi' (a form of slow slicing).
Instead, it covered his body, forming a white light that kept crackling and bursting outwards!
Thunder Blade - Thunder Armor

That's right, the twin swords in 'Lingchi's' hands are actually the 'Lightning Blade' from the Seven Ninja Swords; coupled with his own 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode', it's even more powerful.

Her entire body was completely engulfed in blinding lightning. A sudden flash of light, known as 'Lingchi', transformed into thousands of bolts of lightning that shot out from all directions, from the sky and the ground, tearing and bombarding Yaodaoji wildly.

"Thunderous Annihilation Slash!"

Amidst crackling sounds, wild lightning covered the battlefield and engulfed everything;
Even if the opponent's attributes are countered by his, 'Lingchi' believes that as long as the attack is strong enough and the lightning is powerful enough, he can eventually break through the opponent's defense!
"Liberate, Sister Yaodao-hime."

Just before the 'death by a thousand cuts' attack was launched, a little girl's voice rang out.

On the outskirts of the battlefield, Minamoto no Kagura raised her index and middle fingers with one hand, forming a hand seal like an Onmyoji; with her other hand, she pointed her folded umbrella toward the center of the battlefield.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

A maniacal laugh suddenly erupted, accompanied by a burst of crimson light that wildly pierced through the scorching white lightning, painting the earth, sky, and the nearby sea a blood-red hue.

? !
"kill----"

A voice filled with murderous intent and stained with blood rang out, and the crimson light suddenly contracted and expanded!

The crimson light suddenly expanded into a massive sphere hundreds of meters in size, and then erupted with unbridled force.

null--------

A mushroom-shaped cloud composed of crimson light shot straight up thousands of meters into the sky! The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be burning cotton wool, visibly burning out huge, receding circular holes, allowing sunlight to fall on this ravaged land.

The entire battlefield seemed to have been slammed down by a high-ranking deity; vision shook violently, and the earth suddenly sank dozens, even hundreds of meters!
The distant sea was impacted by the aftershocks, creating a hundred-meter-high tsunami that rolled wildly in layers.

The sky retreated in fear, the earth trembled in agony, and the sea roared and boiled.
???

Such a terrifying outbreak drew the attention of people on other battlefields.

This level of strength is no longer that of an ordinary ghost-level being;
"Cough cough, how is that possible?!"

At the center of the explosion, the 'Lingchi' figure, wrapped in crimson light, was sent flying backward, its face composed of countless 'thin slices' displaying visible terror.

The opponent was actually stronger than him? And stronger in every way, making 'Lingchi' realize that he had no chance of winning at all!

However, thanks to its strong resistance to 'slashing' attacks, even if it can't win, it can still...
brush-----

A flash of light, and a crimson blade streaked across the sky;
A tall figure wielding a crimson longsword had already appeared behind 'Lingchi'.

"I"

From the forehead to the groin, a crimson line caused the left and right sides of the body to begin to shift out of place during the 'death by a thousand cuts'.

"not yet"

Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff! ! ! !
The next second, countless crimson rays of light appeared on 'Lingchi's' body. These were the countless attacks that Yaodaoji had unleashed as they brushed past each other.

Thump,

With a soft sound, the evil spirit known as 'Lingchi' exploded, turning into crimson 'mist' that drifted down.

It was actually chopped into powder!
The characteristic of being cut into a thousand pieces,
Even that couldn't withstand the attack that reduced them to ashes.

"My blade is faster than judgment, faster than choice, faster than 'me'."

Her helmet and breastplate burst open, revealing a slender body full of power and clear lines; her high ponytail trailed on the ground, and two long crimson horns symbolizing high-ranking demons were on her head. The 'Demon Blade Princess' turned around, her temperament completely changed.

"One strike is enough to kill you."

"Wow, what a fast and sharp slash!"

Dressed in high-tech armor and transformed into a Kamen Rider, KYG raised his hand with lingering fear and touched his chest.

Even though he knew the knife wasn't aimed at him, KYG still had the illusion that he was the one being killed.

If he were to face it, the outcome would definitely be a complete annihilation!

That's terrifying. "Of course,"

"Sister Yaodao-hime is the shikigami with the strongest attack power under Seimei's command."

A little girl named Kagura, holding an umbrella, floated over. During the explosion, she opened her umbrella and floated directly into the air to avoid the aftershocks of the earthquake.

"Next, only..."

As the little girl turned her head, KYG pointed his live-streaming equipment at her.

"Huff, huff huff~~"

The Five Punishers, wielding long sticks, faced Kafka and Yagyu Onoda alone.

Even with his many abilities, unless he immediately uses 'exile' to escape to the underworld, defeat and death are the only possible outcomes.

"Am I the only one left?"

Skinned alive, he's been shot into a hedgehog.

As the most commonly used form of punishment by ancient regimes,
The Five Punishments are not only powerful and versatile, but even have decent personalities.

However, it was this very 'seriousness' that put him in a desperate situation: if he wanted to run, no one could stop him.

"Flogging, let's go!"

"it is good!"

With a shout of agreement, the 'Ten Blades' charged at Kafka once more, with a touch of 'tragic heroism' in his demeanor.

"In my next life, I want to be a good person."

The opponent escaped using 'spatial abilities,' leaving Kafka helpless.

But having chosen to confront him head-on, as the Jinchūriki of 'Ibaraki-doji', he has never been afraid of anyone!
"Auki——"

As Kafka struck a pose, huge jets suddenly appeared behind his elbows: this time, these jets twisted out in concentric circles, forming a spiral-shaped blooming 'flower'.

*Pfft, pfft, pfft!*

A stream of purple 'demonic energy' surged outwards, something only Kafka, the 'jinchūriki,' could expend so lavishly.

The next moment, his fist, which had finished charging, spun half a circle and struck out.

click-

The fist slammed into the 'Five Punishments' staff. If time were slowed down a thousand times, you could see this staff, capable of withstanding the light 'divine incarnation', suddenly twist, spin, and then explode from the point of contact with the fist!

The spiraling force traveled upwards along the stick, spreading to the 'Five Punishments'.

His body was twisted like a towel being wrung out, until it was completely unrecognizable as human: the surging purple demonic power began to destroy his body structure.

"Spiral Fist!"

boom----------!!!
Kafka's attacks were always simple and straightforward. With each punch he threw, a straight, massive, sunken canyon was suddenly carved into the ground in front of him! The shockwave generated by his fist alone was enough to crush a Death Tiger-level powerhouse; there has never been anyone who has taken his punch head-on.

Perhaps Shuten-dōji could, but as for the other dragon-level powerhouses: no one is interested in competing with him in strength.

If it weren't for the fact that he was outnumbered, he wouldn't have had time to build up his strength.

A single punch created a canyon, and at the end of the canyon:
"Cough cough cough,"

After his entire body twisted and then 'restored,' Wu Xing, now just a thin figure, looked down at the broken stick in his hand.

“He who kills will be killed in return; that is fair.”

It's just that we only get to 'live' once, and it's so short.

Miss, I tried my best.

"Ah~~"

With a long sigh, the second-ranked figure among the 'Ten Blades' gradually turned to ashes and disappeared.

"it's over,"

"Hmm, all that's left are the nose amputation and the poison."

"Where are those two hiding?"

Just as many demon-level powerhouses on the battlefield breathed a sigh of relief:
"Keep the change, please,"

An arrogant voice rang out.
"I'm right here!"

? !
brush----

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously; before the voice rang out, they hadn't even noticed how the other person had appeared!

"It's you."

"Nine Heavens Shake Love!"

"So, you're finally taking action yourself?"

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, and besides 'Yi Tian' carrying a large red sword, a young master dressed as an ancient royal, there was another 'familiar face'.

A classic Hime cut, with delicate features on her small face, yet her appearance was marred by a chilling aura; the girl floating before 'Yitian' and the young master—who else could it be but Jiu Kong Yao Ai?!

The young master dressed as royalty is probably the 'Poison' who has not yet shown his face; as for the three-meter-tall obese man standing behind the three, dressed as an Akatsuki member, trying to make himself invisible and serving as a background figure, he is naturally Marshall Teach.

One dragon and three demons!
Even if Jiu Kong Yao Ai is weak, it is still a disgrace to the Dragon Peak.

For these demon-level beings, they remain deadly and formidable enemies.

Everyone had mixed feelings as they faced this growing girl.

"My lord, there is no need for you to take action personally."

Carrying a large red sword, 'Yi Tian' stepped forward with a nonchalant air, his gaze sweeping over the assembled experts.

"I'll take them down!"

"I can fight too, young lady."

Although he hadn't shown himself yet, 'Poison', who had the best record, covered his mouth with his sleeve and stepped forward.

"Everyone be careful,"

Faced with these two formidable Demon-level beings, Kafka loudly warned the others.

"Don't get hurt! That enemy's poison is deadly—???"

He had only spoken halfway when Kafka opened his mouth in surprise, but no sound came out.

Because he no longer needed to consider how to deal with these two evil spirits.

"Ah~~~"

"Young Miss, why?!"

Just as 'Yitian' and 'Zhendu' were about to make their move, two fair and delicate hands grabbed them from behind and placed them on top of their heads.

During the violent convulsions, the body continuously shrank and dissipated.

The only one who could capture and absorb them so easily is:
Nine-Earth Shaking Love.

"You are all my creations,"

"Now, give all the power back to me. I will take it—"

In the blink of an eye, the two 'Ten Blades' disappeared without a trace, turning into wisps of black energy that swirled around Jiu Kong Yao Ai's hands.

"Do it yourself!"
