Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 408 The Night Tokyo Falls

Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

"What! You said the Yamata no Orochi has been resurrected, grown wings, and is flying towards Tokyo?" The Chief Cabinet Secretary, upon receiving the report from the Self-Defense Forces, felt as if he didn't know Japanese at all.

The other ministers were also completely bewildered, but now was not the time to discuss any mythological stories.

"Retreat immediately." The prime minister made a decisive decision, choosing to slip away first.

So the cabinet ministers, who usually have the power to decide the future of Japan, braved the storm and came to the rooftop helipad to board two Osprey transport planes, preparing to go to the Pacific carrier group in southeastern Tokyo for refuge.

The sound of the twin propellers turning was like heavenly music amidst the raging storm, bringing peace of mind to all the ministers. It wasn't until they had just climbed above the rain clouds that they saw the explosions and flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

They never imagined that one day such a large-scale air battle would actually take place over Tokyo.

"Look, what's that?" the Minister of Defense exclaimed, his finger trembling as he pointed out the window.

It was a huge shadow drifting in from the northeast, with eight ferocious, wildly dancing dragon heads constantly spewing out thunder, storms, water columns, and flames.

It really is the Yamata no Orochi from mythology; he has truly returned from hell.

"Faster! Faster!"

A flash of lightning ripped through the night sky.

"Bang! Bang!" The Osprey fighter jet exploded and crashed to the ground, and the entire cabinet resigned.

"By Amaterasu Omikami!" Everyone was in shock and praying. The citizens living on the top floor of high-rise buildings also witnessed this scene of mythical battle.

Zhao Menghua felt like he was going crazy. He and Chen Wenwen's hotel room happened to be on a high floor. They were lucky, as their original plan to go shopping in Ginza was canceled due to the rain.

Then suddenly they received an emergency notification on their phones from the City Hall prohibiting citizens from going out. Then they saw several dragon-shaped Deadpools, even more terrifying than Sadako, flying with wings outside their windows.

He and Chen Wenwen huddled in their room, too afraid to go out. But then a massive earthquake struck, causing a complete power outage throughout the city. Even cell phones were rendered useless, and the entire hotel was in chaos.

"It's alright, nothing will happen. Those monsters aren't coming for us. The police and those legendary hybrids will take care of them soon." Zhao Menghua, wrapped in a blanket and huddled at the head of the bed, tried to remain calm as he comforted Chen Wenwen.

"Zhao Menghua, did you hear that sound?" Chen Wenwen shrank her neck and suddenly heard a roar that was more terrifying than a demon. In an instant, a huge explosion suddenly rang out in the building in front of her.

The violent explosion and shockwave instantly shattered the glass curtain walls and windows of the surrounding buildings, and the glass shards swept by the wind and rain rushed into the hotel rooms.

Through the broken window, they finally saw clearly what it was: a grotesque, demonic figure coiling and circling high in the distance.

The enormous membrane wings spread out forcefully, and the strong winds shook away the surrounding rain, creating a vacuum zone. Eight pairs of dazzling golden eyes, like lighthouses, illuminated the torrential rain, like gods and demons, captivating the soul.

"Quick, let's go!" Zhao Menghua grabbed Chen Wenwen and ran downstairs. If they stayed here any longer, they might get caught in the aftermath of the battle.

The fighter jets relentlessly pursued the devilish figure, launching missile after missile. Because they were too close to the ground, some of the missiles crashed directly into the surrounding buildings and exploded, and the fighter jets themselves also crashed directly into the city.

But even if the missiles that hit it caused an explosion, it was useless. A high-speed air curtain isolated it from all harm, but it remained unscathed.

In the hands of God, the dustless land has become the most indestructible shield in the world.

"Warning, missiles cannot penetrate target defenses, requesting backup, requesting backup!" the fighter squadron leader shouted anxiously.

Their attacks, which took ten minutes to harass the enemy from Yamanashi Prefecture to Tokyo, were completely ineffective; even armor-piercing rounds and alchemical warheads could not penetrate the enemy's air shield defenses.

God eventually landed on a building in Shinjuku, instinct telling it that the two most delicious foods were in this area.

The fighter squadron immediately seized the opportunity to land, launching Tomahawk missiles from the Pacific Fleet escort ships.

The Yamata no Orochi, capable of deflecting all attacks from fighter jets at such high speeds, extinguished the last trace of arrogance in the hearts of the American military, leaving only fear and trepidation.

There are actually such monsters in this world!

Because Erii's situation was so unique, all the credit for the Battle of Ōta was attributed to the Alchemy Missiles of the Snake Clan.

Without the power of judgment that day, the Dragon Servant might have been able to fight his way through the entire city of Tokyo, and perhaps a tactical nuclear missile would have already been launched from Washington and landed on Tokyo's head.

With the delicious food right in front of him, the Yamata no Orochi slowly raised its curved neck in the darkness, its scarlet golden eyes looking at the annoying fighter jets in the sky, revealing a humanoid, sinister smile.

The barrage of missiles landed precisely on the Yamata no Orochi, instantly leveling several surrounding buildings.

But what came from the firelight was not a painful wail, but the roar of demons spewing from eight gaping, blood-red mouths.

Words of Power: Vortex.

The rainwater, swept up by the wind, condensed into several visible white pythons, which then lashed out from all directions like whips.

A reinforced concrete building was cut in half by a water whip, dozens of fighter jets were cleared of air in an instant, and the most expensive fireworks display in history lit up the skies over Tokyo.

"Great! That's how it should be! How can worldly weapons harm the body of a god?" Herzog clapped and cheered from afar. After casting his holy blood, he had returned to Tokyo early and, as expected, received the good news that the god had descended upon Shinjuku.

"Damn it, Kassel College, where are your alchemical poison bombs? Why haven't you taken action yet? If this drags on any longer, I'll have to request nuclear weapons from Washington. We absolutely cannot allow such a monster to leave Japan, or the consequences will be unimaginable!" The Pacific Fleet Commander had lost his patience.

Their conventional explosives, including those alchemical warheads, were all ineffective. If Kassel College didn't take action soon, they would only be sending the entire Tokyo to hell. They absolutely could not allow this thing to escape and land on the American mainland.

Schneider clenched his fist. They still had two more rounds of Holy Infant Blood Alchemy Explosives. Although they were effective against dragons, their toxicity to humans far exceeded that of ordinary poison gas bombs. If they exploded in the city center, the entire Shinjuku would probably be turned into a dead zone.

Angers also looked serious, but suddenly received a communication from Norma and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander, I think that's unnecessary."

-

"Hurry up and go."

In the Tokyo underground, Caesar is piloting a rubber jet ski modified by the Ganryu Research Institute, carrying Chu Zihang, Nono, Uesugi Kotsugi, and Erii, waiting in the intricate network of waterways.

The attempt to stop the White King at Kassel College failed, and the White King's rapid arrival in Tokyo by flying surprised everyone.

They did not flee beforehand, as it would be pointless to escape anywhere. After discussion, they decided to use the Iron Dome system's pipes to delay as much as possible, luring the White King into an area where traps could be set in advance. They would then detonate the alchemical explosives underground, which would have a better poisoning effect and fewer casualties.

Several huge craters suddenly appeared on the streets of Shinjuku as the corrosive venom and flames spewed by the Yamata no Orochi melted through the ground in search of its genetic container.

According to the plan, as soon as the body of the Yamata no Orochi enters the underground space, they will start the motorboat, seal the pipe at one end, and detonate the alchemical explosives.

Genichiro Ryoma leads his action team, carrying alchemical explosives, ready to perish together with God at any moment.

When the two dragon heads of the Yamata no Orochi passed through the passage and locked onto the people on the motorboat, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. That was the source of the bloodline of all the hybrid races of the Yamata no Orochi family, and the majesty of the ancient dragon poured down like a mountain.

"This guy is really ugly," Caesar said through gritted teeth. Chu Zihang gripped Murasame tightly, the god's majesty making it hard for them to look directly at him. Nuonuo was pale and remained silent.

They are the last trump card to defend Tokyo. If the alchemical bomb cannot severely damage Orochi, then they will have to take action and fight to the death. Either Orochi will perish, or the White King will return to the world in his complete form.

"Come on, you beast!" Uesugi Koshi roared in a low voice.

But Orochi only glanced at Ryoma Genichiro and the others hiding in the shadows before instantly retracting its dragon head.

In an instant, an extremely cold domain unfolded around the Yamata no Orochi, and a blizzard swept through the entire Shinjuku district. The moment the domain expanded, the underground waterways were also instantly frozen into solid ice.

Word of Power: Ice Emperor

"Run!"

Uesugi shouted loudly, grabbing Erii and Nono with both hands and jumping out of the water. Caesar and Chu Zihang also jumped ashore. The biting cold seemed to freeze the blood in their bodies instantly.

The next moment, a golden sea suddenly filled the entire space, and the extremely cold domain instantly collapsed.

Erii spread her sleeves and made a casual, nonchalant slash in front of her with her sword. It wasn't a swordsmanship technique; it was just a simple, casual cut. The majestic aura of the ancient dragon instantly crumbled.

The broken reinforced concrete, along with air and debris, spread out towards the cavity at the top.

Words of Power: Judgment.

The Yamata no Orochi arched back and collapsed to the ground instantly, its neck and abdomen scales bleeding profusely. For the first time tonight, its eight dragon heads let out a painful hiss.

But this was far from over. Uesugi Kotsuki pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped towards the cave entrance. Since he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to fight. He wanted to protect his daughter and son.

He is the strongest hybrid in the world, and there is absolutely no doubt about that.

He drew two Tang-style broadswords, rose and leaped, unleashing a series of continuous slashes with his unique, two-times-one-class technique, the blade flashing.

His size was less than one percent of a god's, but the ferocity emanating from his golden eyes carried the awe-inspiring majesty and power of a king of the underworld.

The blade flashed, sending dazzling sparks flying across the scales, tinged with blood. The god roared and howled in fury; it was enraged!

The long tail hidden behind the wings suddenly swept across; it was the sharp bone at the end of the Yamata no Orochi's long tail, the legendary Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

Suddenly, a huge gash appeared in Uesugi Kotsu's abdomen. Although he instinctively dodged and avoided being cut in half, the blade of the Ama-no-Murakumo still tore through his dragon scales.

Orochi once again opened the domain of the Dustless Land to repel Uesugi Koshi, but Erii, Caesar, and the others had already returned to the surface.

Erii unleashed Judgment once more, expanding the domain of death, and the wind blades whipped up countless fragments to once again strangle the Yamata no Orochi.

Uesugi lay prone on the ground, dodging the wind blades.

A purplish-black bruise suddenly appeared on Erii's fair neck. Judging the Yamata no Orochi was still too much of a burden for her.

"How are you?" Caesar and Chu Zihang immediately helped Uesugi Yue up, while Nono helped Erii up.

Uesugi Kotsushi shook his head: "The Holy Relic couldn't possibly have such power; it's just one step away from being complete."

Opposite them, the Yamata no Orochi had risen again, roaring to the sky, all its wounds now completely healed.

Word of Power: Yagi.

Ultra-fast regeneration, the ultimate incantation that transcends the physical body with spiritual elements.

Caesar still had a Philosopher's Stone bullet given to him by Angers, but under the current circumstances, it was almost impossible to shoot the Philosopher's Stone into the body of Yamata no Orochi.

"Take Erii and get out of here quickly. I'll do my best to hold him off. Remember to remind Angers to let the missiles blow my body to pieces," Uesugi Koshi said in a deep voice.

"I know it sounds cool for you to say that, but it's really too late now." Caesar raised the Alchemist pistol. How could two legs possibly outrun the Yamata no Orochi in this weather?

Chu Zihang also drew his sword, and Jun Yan, who had been bleeding profusely, was ready to strike.

The members of the Snake Clan had also arrived at the scene, determined to leave their god there even at the cost of their lives.

Erii opened her arms again, the power of judgment ready to be unleashed. She could feel herself locked on, with no way to avoid it or escape it.

Suddenly, the sound of the helicopter rotors dispersed the blizzard falling from the sky, and the sun suddenly rose in the dim world.

It was Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng.

Even the pilot himself didn't know how he managed to maneuver such a flimsy aircraft through a Force 12 gale to reach Shinjuku.

The two rappelled down from the helicopter, took out their swords and stabbed them into the buildings on either side to cushion the impact. Genji instantly unleashed his Dragon Bone Form and used his Royal Authority, and immense pressure descended from the sky, instantly crushing the eight dragon heads of the Yamata no Orochi.

In the realm of time zero, Lu Mingfei, who was late to the game, drew his sword with a backhand and instantly severed one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi with the ultimate technique of "Draw Sword Flash".

Then, before the dust-free realm spread, he threw the fallen Genjiro next to Uesugi Kotsuki.

"Sorry I'm late."

Lu Mingfei turned his back to the crowd and sheathed his sword.

Everything that happened today was originally part of Principal Angers' plan. They even considered the possibility of the Ghosts attacking Thunder Valley and deployed a large number of self-defense forces.

But the king's methods still exceeded their expectations. He bypassed their defenses and awakened the Yamata no Orochi ahead of time, even restoring it to this state.

However, none of this concerned Lu Mingfei. All he wanted to do now was kill the snake and find the real king.

Find out what exactly happened with that clapper sound. What is his relationship with Lu Mingze?
