Chapter 408 The New Holder of the Sun God Gem Fragment

Iori Yagami was targeted by a sniper, and Kyo Kusanagi naturally couldn't escape the cat's claws either.

As Nero Cat previously commented, Cat Princess's performance is second to none among the Twenty-Seven Cat Ancestors. Her combat moves are full of surprises, which will give many fighters who are used to fighting against people a great shock. Almost no one can gain an advantage over Cat Princess in the first battle.

Cheng Tian succeeded, but that doesn't mean Kusanagi Kyo could too.

Because he had been so engrossed in defending the arena, Kyo Kusanagi hadn't had a chance to go offstage to watch the battles on other channels. However, even if he had watched them, watching them on a screen was a completely different experience from watching them in person.

True Ancestor Ray, Six-Part Rocket Punch, Cat Spirit Rampage, Super Meow King Movie Bullet, Super Electro-wave Secret Technique Hundred-Crack Cat Paw... One after another, the new moves that could not be shown in front of the more unpredictable Cheng Tian forced Kyo Kusanagi to eat his fill.

Where did this strange thing come from?!

With his 124-style Wild Bite, honed through countless trials and imbued with the fire of Kusanagi, possessing exceptionally high resistance to attacks and capable of breaking through many techniques, including flying attacks, Kusanagi faced Nekohime's powerful offensive with a rare defensive counter-attack stance.

After all, he was teammates with a top judo master like Goro Daimon. Many aspects of martial arts are interconnected, and some defensive judo techniques he had learned during team sparring came in handy at this time.

Neither Goro Daimon nor Benimaru Nikaido have seen Kyo Kusanagi like this for a year. The last time they were completely dominated was back in the King of Fighters '96 tournament, when he was beaten down by Orochi's servant, "Ibuki Storm Goenitz".

"Where's your Kusanagi Sword? Where did you hide it? Let me see it, meow!"

Cat Princess was still thinking about the "Kusanagi Sword," one of the three sacred treasures Cheng Tian mentioned, and shouted it out after a clearly controlled output.

However, Cheng Tian was also unethical. Although the topic he used to get Cat Princess's attention was indeed the Three Sacred Treasures, he brought it up specifically by focusing on the "storage method"—

Cheng Tian spread rumors that the Kusanagi Sword, one of the Three Sacred Treasures, was hidden inside Kyo Kusanagi's navel...

The existence of the Kusanagi sword is quite subtle. It is both a manifestation of the Kusanagi family's bloodline and a physical entity. Although Cheng Tian's rumors are outrageous, the cat spirit, who can pull out all sorts of things from behind, doesn't seem to have any problem with them.

Upon hearing Nekohime's pointed remark, Kyo Kusanagi's expression visibly changed.

But just as he was about to say something, the soaring purple flames immediately drew all his attention.

It's Yagami's flame!

He came, just as expected! There was no way he wouldn't come!
But who exactly is the person who could force him to unleash such a massive flame?
Having been dominating weak opponents in the arena, Kyo Kusanagi finally encountered a reliable one, only to find that he was an alien, making it impossible for him to consider him a regular opponent. Suddenly, he had the idea of ​​skipping class.

"Nikaido Benimaru! Daimon Goro!"

Kyo Kusanagi, who had been defending the arena alone since it was set up, finally spoke to his teammates.

Almost simultaneously, Kyo Kusanagi brought his fists together in front of him.

The moment their fists collided, a magnificent and dazzling light, mixed with crimson flames, erupted from Kyo Kusanagi's body!
It's as if the sun is shining directly into people's eyes!
"Meow!!!!"

Blinded by the unexpected bright light, the cat princess's eyes went completely white, and she fell from mid-air, clutching her eyes and rolling around on the ground. Not only the cat princess, but all the onlookers and contestants who were staring at Kusanagi, as well as the viewers on the other side of the television screen, were attacked by the bright light, and screams of agony filled the air.

Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon, who were teammates, seemed to have some prior experience. When they heard Kyo Kusanagi call them by their full names, which sounded like safe words, they deliberately closed their eyes and lowered their heads, so they were the least affected.

And naturally, Comrade Eileen, who was also caught off guard, was among the crowd.

Unlike those around her, Eileen, the moment she was blinded, immediately recalled some of the abilities, talents, and equipment effects that Cheng Tian had shared with her, and instantly connected this indiscriminate blinding light with Cheng Tian's Solar Fist and Sun Mask.

As the Windwalker, a branch of the archer class, Eileen, with her exceptional eyesight, not only had her eyes watering from the blinding light, but she also had the image of Kyo Kusanagi unleashing his powerful light etched directly into her mind.

On the gauntlets worn by Kyo Kusanagi, the Kusanagi family’s iconic sun mark is printed, and Irene clearly noticed that in the center of each of the two sun marks, there is a red gem that is very similar in shape and size!
That color was exactly the same as the one embedded on the forehead of the Sun Mask!
It's clearly not the time to collect blood now.

With her eyes still completely blank, Eileen immediately made a decision. She pulled out a flip phone provided by the organizers from her bag and immediately dialed Cheng Tian's number.

"We've found a gem fragment!"

Eileen, who went straight to the point the moment the call was connected, startled Cheng Tiangan, who was also drawn to the erupting purple flames, with just one sentence. In a few seconds, he immediately thought of the most likely possibility.

"Is that Kyo Kusanagi?"

"Yes! He threw a Solar Flare in broad daylight, and now he's probably nowhere to be found!"

Although it was unclear how Cheng Tian guessed it, Eileen still provided the key information immediately.

"I roughly know where he'll go... Are you safe now?"

"The wind can temporarily replace my eyes, and besides—"

"and?"

"I feel like his Solar Flare isn't as pure as yours, and this group blinding effect probably won't last long."

"Okay, be careful, contact me anytime if you have any problems."

"OK~"

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Tian immediately set off. Amidst the exclamations of passersby, he leaped up and began darting across the rooftops of buildings of varying heights, his target the location where Yagami's Purple Flame had erupted.

However, at this moment, a question also arose in Cheng Tian's mind.

He had seen Kyo Kusanagi at the previous seed team gathering, but at that time, he and Kyo did not have the same strong desire to compete and plunder each other that he had when he met Prince Eren.

But no matter what, he was determined to have that fragment of the Sun God Gem!
