The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

“I have no interest in dead bodies,” Ishihara Akira said, shaking his head.

"Then what do you mean?" Lü Liang asked curiously.

"I want to see Xia He. Can you ask her to come out, or should I call her out for you?"

"Let me ask." Lü Liang glanced at Shi Yuanzhang, took out his phone, and called Xia He: "Sister, someone here wants to see you. Are you going to see them or not?"

"There are plenty of people in this world who want to see me, so who is this Tom, Dick, or Harry on your end?" Xia He's voice came through the phone without any hindrance.

"Uh, I don't know about that, but the other party seems to have ill intentions." Lu Liang was a little embarrassed, looking at Ishihara Akira who was walking towards him in a nonchalant manner, and chuckled dryly.

"Oh?"

"In short, if there's a chance, please save me," Lü Liang said nervously.

"Can't you handle it?"

"It seems like I can't handle it."

Just as Lü Liang was about to use the Soul-Clearing Technique, a white bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from beside his face, taking away several strands of his hair and filling the air with the scorching smell of protein.

"Alright then, I'll go take a look later," Xia He said after thinking for a moment.

"Then I'll wait for you, Sister Xia He." After saying that, Lü Liang hung up the phone and said to Shi Yuanzhang with a smile, "You heard it too, Sister Xia He will be here soon."

"Hmm. But since we've run into each other, let's test it out while we're at it." Ishihara Akira, who had already walked up to Lü Liang, chuckled.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Liang asked nervously, instinctively taking a step back.

"Let's study your family's Soul-Brightening Technique." With that, Ishihara Akira reached out and touched Lü Liang's forehead, and a demonic clone was sent into Lü Liang's body, residing in the soul of power.

"Now try activating the Bright Soul Technique," Ishihara Akira said.

"Huh? Oh." Lü Liang was surprised for a moment, but knowing he couldn't resist being so close, he didn't refuse. Besides, it was just circulating his internal energy, and there was no danger. So he obediently began to circulate his Bright Soul Technique, causing a blue glow that only extraordinary people could see to appear on his hands...

……

Soon after, accompanied by the roar of an engine, a woman appeared at the warehouse entrance and gracefully walked into the warehouse.

"Who wants to see me?" A voice rang out, carrying a sweet and cloying tone.

Chapter 284 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

"It's me." Ishihara Sho, who was closing his eyes to comprehend the Soul Cultivation Technique and trying to replicate it, opened his eyes and looked at the woman who looked as enchanting as an elf in the moonlight, and chuckled.

"What should I call you?" Xia He asked after looking at Ishihara Sho for a while.

“Ishihara. But I'd prefer you to call me master rather than that name.”

"Master? What a boastful tone. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Xia He sneered.

"How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Xia He asked curiously.

"I'll bet on whether your muscle breathing can affect me," Ishihara Akira said.

"What's the stake?" Xia He raised an eyebrow and asked again.

"If you can influence me, then there's nothing to say. My rationality will be affected by you, and I'll do whatever you want me to do. But if the opposite is true, and your influence can't affect me, then don't blame me for giving you a taste of your own medicine. I'll make all sorts of demands on you, including, and I don't rule out, the kind of thing you and that guy did in the past. Are you willing to bet?" Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Who is the person you're talking about?" Xia He's expression turned serious as she asked in a deep voice.

"What do you think?" Ishihara Akira said with a half-smile.

"Why should I listen to you?" Xia He looked at Shi Yuanzhang and felt that her abilities might not be effective against him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed to compete with her in this area. So she decisively refused.

"Because you are now my prisoner."

"Prisoners?" Xia He scoffed.

But before she could finish speaking, Ishihara Akira was already standing in front of her, his fist pressed against her chest and abdomen...

Are there still any doubts?

Xia He's expression changed drastically, and she quickly leaped backward. But as soon as she landed, Shi Yuanzhang's figure reappeared in front of her, and his fist landed squarely on her chest and abdomen.

Xia He's expression changed again, and she punched Ishihara Akira on the head.

Ishihara Akira retracted his fist and threw a punch, striking Xia He in the stomach with an extremely fast inch-force. Xia He's eyes bulged out instantly, and she knelt down in front of Ishihara Akira with a "thud." Then, as if suffering from menstrual cramps, she clutched her stomach and curled up.

"Now, you are my prisoner." Ishihara Sho squatted down and chuckled as he looked at Xia He, whose face was twitching uncontrollably.

"Liu Yanyan".

"What?" Liu Yanyan responded from the side.

“I remember you know a kind of Gu that can seal a person’s energy channels, right? Use it on her so that this guy won’t make a scene and become unruly afterward,” Ishihara Akira said, standing up.

"Oh." Liu Yanyan didn't dare to hesitate and walked to Xia He's side. She pressed her palm against the base of Xia He's neck and planted a Gu worm. Xia He's energy subsided at a visible speed, and even all her original innate abilities—muscle aura—subsided, making her no longer as alluring and seductive as when they first met.

“Now, take me to your lodgings.” Ishihara Akira stood up and said to Lü Liang, who was not far away.

"Yes."

The group then left the warehouse and, led by Lü Liang, headed towards the small inn where he and Xia He were staying.

……

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ishihara Akira didn't waste any words. He first had Liu Yanyan use the same method to cast a Gu spell on Lü Liang to suppress his energy, and then sent Liu Yanyan with her own guardian zombie to personally guard him to prevent Lü Liang from escaping. After that, he took Xia He, who was now basically like an ordinary person, to her room alone, and then threw her onto the bed without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Xia He, who had lost her advantage as an outsider and had become weak again, looked nervously at Ishihara Akira, who had locked the door and was smiling strangely, and asked.

"What do you think?" Ishihara Akira rubbed his hands together, grinning mischievously as he walked towards Xia He.

"Do you know that this is illegal?!" In her panic, Xia He knew to use the law to protect herself.

"Let's not even talk about how we're superhumans. The laws that apply to ordinary people don't apply to us in most cases. Even if they do, they don't apply to you, a Quanxing demon recognized by superhumans and the company, who can be killed on sight. So, even if I kill you right now, outsiders will just shout 'Good job!' and won't say I broke the law." Ishihara Akira chuckled strangely.

"You! Since you know about my affairs, aren't you afraid that person will come down the mountain to cause trouble for you after finding out?" Xia He was silent for a moment, then as if she had grasped a lifeline, she asked loudly.

"If that person truly cared about you, he wouldn't have left without a word the next day, before you even woke up, and never returned." Ishihara Akira laughed. "Not to mention, you're a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan, and you're famous for your allure. If someone didn't know you well, who would believe that you, who seems to seduce people into depravity by selling your body, are actually a pure woman who has only experienced one heartbreak and hasn't been touched by a man since?"

"Not to mention, we are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from Longhu Mountain. Even if that person really cares about you and is willing to avenge you, so what? By the time he gets here, I will have already left and flown far away. Who knows when he will run into me again."

"So, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better cooperate with me. Otherwise, I don't care if your man is a junior master from Longhu Mountain or the Heavenly King himself. As long as he can't kill me right now, I've got you!"

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Xia He remained silent for a while before resignedly asking.

"Do you know about Apocalypse?" Ishihara Akira walked to the bedside, grabbed a chair, sat down in front of Xia He, took her foot, sniffed it slightly, and said with some disgust.

"Apocalypse? What's that?" Xia He asked, pursing her lips.

"All you need to know is that he's a very powerful innate superhuman. What I need to do now is to emulate him, create my own Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and build up my own team and power," Ishihara Akira said, rubbing Xia He's feet.

"So, you want me to be that Apocalypse Knight?" Xia He asked, somewhat as if suddenly realizing something.

“Yes.” Ishihara Akira nodded affirmatively, “Because your abilities are really well suited to working with me.”

As he spoke, Ishihara Akane unleashed the power of Slut from the Seven Deadly Sins, releasing a power similar to muscle breath that directly affected Xia He in front of him.

Instantly, Xia He's expression changed as she sensed a strange state similar to that experienced by other supernatural beings who had been affected by her muscle-breathing ability.

"Stop your abilities right now!" Xia He shouted urgently, fearing that she would become hopelessly addicted like the victims of the past.

"And what's your answer?" Ishihara Akira didn't stop, but pressed on while asking further.

"I promised you, now stop your abilities!" Xia He shouted again, barely able to control herself.

Chapter 285 Soul Clarity Technique and Dual-Hand Technique

"I already promised you, why haven't you stopped using your abilities yet?" Xia He asked anxiously, feeling her emotions becoming increasingly difficult to control.

"Yes, you promised me, but don't forget that knights are the guardians of their monarchs, or to put it bluntly, servants. So, as the monarch, it's perfectly reasonable for me to enjoy my servants, isn't it?" Ishihara Sho climbed onto the bed and said with a smile, looking at Xia He who was instinctively tugging at him.

"You! You're despicable!" Xia He cursed angrily.

“I’m going to become a demon of the Quanxing Sect, so naturally I won’t care about the world’s opinions anymore. So, Xia He, just accept your fate.”

After saying that, Shi Yuanzhang grabbed Xia He's shoulders and leaned down to kiss her lips...

"What's that sound?" A short while later, in the room next to Xia He's, Liu Yanyan asked in confusion, listening to the faint sounds coming from next door.

“Children don’t need to know so much.” Although he looked younger, Lü Liang, whose maturity and knowledge far surpassed Liu Yanyan’s, said with an ambiguous smile.

"You're not even as old as me, are you?" Liu Yanyan said with dissatisfaction.

"The measure of an adult's worth isn't just age, but also their maturity and methods. Look at yourself, aside from age, what do you have that I can match?" Lü Liang sneered as he looked Liu Yanyan up and down.

"You! Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you." Liu Yanyan snorted and turned her head to the side.

Lü Liang smiled but didn't speak, instead letting out a silent sigh—

"As expected of the man who dared to specifically ask to see Sister Xia He, he's really impressive. He actually managed to pluck that dangerous rose from Sister Xia He. If Sister Xia He's suitors find out about this... tsk tsk, it seems like it will be quite interesting."

Thinking about it, Lü Liang took out his phone and started fiddling with it.

……

Nothing happened that night, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

"I have already applied my power to you. Now try it and see if your power has become stronger," Ishihara Akira said to Xia He, who looked as if she had lost all sense of purpose and whose eyes were empty and lifeless.

Xia He didn't speak, just like a real corpse, lying there without any reaction.

"What? You want me to do it again?" Ishihara Akira said, turning to the side.

Xia He remained unmoved as always.

"Ha, they really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

After saying that, Ishihara Akira showed no more politeness and suppressed Xia He once again.

again and again.

Combined with medical ninjutsu.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Xia He reacted.

"don't want……"
