The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

As the air erupted, all the swampy mud clinging to his body was blown away, allowing him to stand firmly on his feet. Without hesitation, he leaped out of the Yellow Springs Swamp.

However, Terry still couldn't land. While he was in mid-air with nowhere to dodge, as Ishihara Akira raised his arm, a huge ball of water shot out from the tip of his finger like a cannonball, colliding directly with Terry in mid-air.

"Snapped!"

"Whoosh..."

Terry, soaked to the bone, couldn't help but fall back into the Underworld.

Then, Ishihara Shō pressed his hands to the ground, and the mud and water in the swamp where Terry had fallen quickly began to churn, enveloping Terry's limbs like a living thing and binding him in the swamp.

Terry tried to unleash his power again to break free, but unfortunately, he had just used his power and his internal energy had not fully recovered. Not only could he not unleash his power again, but such intense and continuous power-ups would also be a considerable burden on his body. So, after realizing his condition and remembering that this was not a life-or-death battle, he gave up his plan to continue fighting desperately, sighed, and said quite calmly, "I lost."

"So this is ninjutsu? It's definitely different from what's recorded."

Ishihara Sho smiled, stood up, and clapped his hands again. The swamp and water all disappeared into the air as the magic dissipated.

"Andy, your brother might not be able to help you this time," Terry said, turning to Andy who was standing next to Mai Shiranui.

Andy remained silent, his face grim and unable to utter a word.

"Isn't there also the option of siege?" Mai Shiranui, unwilling to accept that her fate was already sealed, reminded her.

“Although I don’t want to discourage you, judging from the previous battles, Ishihara is not only unpredictable, but his combat experience is also second to none. Moreover, judging from his nonchalant demeanor, he didn’t go all out. So even if the Terry brothers and Higashijo join forces, they might not be able to gain any advantage against Ishihara.” After a pause, Chin Gentsai continued.

"Moreover, are you sure that the ninjutsu we saw is all of Ishihara's skills? Does he have any more powerful and terrifying techniques? Not to mention, he also possesses bizarre and unpredictable genjutsu that are hard to defend against. If he were to use all of them, just as Ishihara said before, we might not be his match."

"so……"

"Even you, sir, are no match for me?" Mai Shiranui said in despair.

"I probably can't beat him," Zhen Yuanzhai said, taking a sip of his drink.

Although he does like to hide his strength, and even in the so-called King of Fighters tournament, he only showed a mid-level strength, which does not quite match his rumored identity as the Great Immortal of Zhenyuan, he has no relationship with Mai Shiranui. At most, she is his disciple and he is on good terms with her. Both of them are rare female fighters. He would not risk his life to fight a strange guy like Ishihara Akira.

It would be more like Athena was the one who got robbed.

Therefore, self-preservation has become Zhen Yuanzhai's only option now.

Of course, I was also puzzled by the strength shown by Ishihara Sho.

"Andy." Seeing this, Mai Shiranui had no choice but to turn her pleading gaze back to the man she admired.

"Don't worry, Wu, no matter what, I won't give up." With that, Andy didn't waste any more words, stepping into the arena and standing beside Terry, who had only recently regained his freedom: "Brother..."

“Okay, I understand,” Terry sighed.

“How could I be left out of this kind of thing?” Dong Zhang jumped out and said when he saw this.

Chapter 656 Demolition

"Aren't you coming with us?" Ishihara Akira ignored the three people who had already entered the arena and instead asked Athena, King, and Yuri Itazaki who were standing to the side.

"You asked for this yourself, so don't say we ganged up on you when we lose," Yuri Itagaki replied eagerly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that tasteless," Ishihara Akira laughed.

“Alright, then I’ll grant your wish. King, let’s go down to the field too.” Yuri Itagaki said to King beside her.

"This... I really can't do anything with you." KING wanted to refuse, but after looking at Yuri Itazaki who had already jumped into the arena, and then at Mai Shiranui who was looking at her expectantly, he could only shake his head helplessly, sigh and walk into the arena.

“Master.” Athena looked at her master.

Clearly, she also really wanted to join this 'grand event'.

“Go ahead, consider it as gaining experience.” Zhen Yuanzhai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Since there's no real danger, this is a good opportunity to improve Athena's and Athena's ability to cope with special situations.

"Yes."

Then, Athena and Kensou also jumped into the arena.

"With the seven of us working together, even if you fail in the end, you'll still have reason to be proud." Terry glanced around before finally speaking calmly to Ishihara Sho, who was standing not far away waiting for the battle to begin.

"Don't think you have the advantage just because you outnumber me. Although I won't use genjutsu because I want to completely subdue you, I will not refrain from using some dangerous ninjutsu that can be fatal. If any of you die or are crippled, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand," Ishihara Sho warned with a chuckle.

"Why waste so much breath? Just bring it on!" Yuri Itazaki said resolutely, not wanting to listen to Ishihara Sho's nonsense.

"Since you're in such a hurry, let's start with you." Ishihara Akira said, his gaze falling on Itazaki Yuri.

After saying that, he flashed and appeared in front of Itagaki Yuri with a teleportation technique, throwing a punch... and Itagaki Yuri's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Superpowers, teleportation!

Of course, it wasn't Yuri Itagaki who used it, but Athena beside her. When Ishihara Akira's gaze fell on Yuri Itagaki, she was ready to step in and save her.

The result was obvious: she succeeded.

Seeing Ishihara Sho approaching, KING didn't hesitate and immediately launched a face-slapping kick at Ishihara Sho.

Ishihara Akira raised his arm to block, then grabbed King's ankle with his other hand and, like swinging a windmill, tossed King toward Higashi Jō.

At this moment, Dong Zhang had just finished his move and was in a difficult position to stop. However, he also knew that if he really launched his attack, it would definitely hurt King. So he suddenly gathered his internal energy and forcibly stopped the attack in a way that was almost like an explosion. Then he hurriedly stretched out his hands and caught King, who was falling in front of him.

Andy seized the opportunity, using a phantom slide to get to Ishihara Sho's side, and unleashed his Bone Technique combo, mercilessly blasting Ishihara Sho's back.

Ishihara Sho was unable to dodge and was hit, but before Shiranui Mai could be happy or excited, the hit Ishihara Sho immediately turned into a clump of dirt and scattered.

The next second, Andy felt his ankle tighten and he uncontrollably fell to the ground.

"Watch out!" Mai Shiranui shouted.

Although Andy didn't know what he would face after being captured, he figured it wouldn't be anything good. Without hesitation, he unleashed his power, broke free from Ishihara Sho's grasp, and leaped off the spot.

Then, Terry's energy fountain blasted in, forcibly pulling Ishihara Sho out of the soil.

Kensou didn't say much, and launched a psychic ball at Ishihara Sho in mid-air.

Ishihara Sho clasped his hands together in mid-air, unleashing a stream of water that, like a sharp blade, sliced ​​the psychic energy ball in two and then shot it towards the others with undiminished force.

The others weren't blind either; seeing its speed and power, they knew this attack was difficult to withstand. They all dodged aside, letting the attack land on the ground, cutting a long, smooth crack in the earth.

"What a terrifying attack!" Terry exclaimed.

It seems that Ishihara's warning before the battle wasn't just a bluff, but that he was genuinely preparing to unleash some trump cards.

Then, Ishihara Sho landed and, without saying a word, changed his hand seals, and a surging stream of water gushed out from Ishihara Sho's mouth, rushing towards the seven people with tremendous force, like a tsunami and a mountain torrent.

The water volume was so large that it could not only flood the entire Shiranui dojo, but also wash away the streets outside the dojo without any problem.

"My house..." Mai Shiranui murmured blankly upon seeing this.

As it was demonstrated, all the buildings that stood in the way of the bursting water were destroyed in one fell swoop, turning into wreckage that was swept away...

The seven had no choice but to rely on their own abilities to evade the attacks and search for new places to settle down.

But Ishihara Sho wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He used the Water Instantaneous Body Technique to glide across the water, appearing in front of his main target, Andy, as fast as an arrow. He dodged Andy's hasty attack, circled around behind him, and then delivered a chaotic body strike to Andy's neck.

"Uh……"

Then, Andy's limbs twisted, his body lost control, and he sank into the gradually calming and receding water like a rag doll.

Ishihara Akira ignored his life or death, and continued to move with the Water Instant, appearing in front of Terry. Without any visible movement, a water tornado suddenly rose from beneath Terry's feet, carrying him into the air...

As for what happens when he falls, that depends on his own fate.

Then, Ishihara Akira came up to Higashi Jō and blasted him away like a cannonball with a powerful punch.

Next was Kensou. With a simple Dark Walk Technique, Kensou became blind.

Yuri Itagaki was controlled by his water prison technique, which he activated using water clones.

KING lost control of her bladder and bowels after being given a love massage by Ishihara Yuu... losing all ladylike composure and ending up soaking in the water.

Only Athena remained. Seeing that things were not going well, she took the initiative to concede defeat and then used her telepathic ability to return to Chin Gentsai's side. She looked at Ishihara Akira, who had turned to look at her at the same time, with lingering fear in her eyes.

"This man is terrifying..."

"It seems I've won this battle," Ishihara Sho said, dispelling his magic to clean up the water that had filled the courtyard.

"Ah!!! My house!" Mai Shiranui screamed in agony.

"Don't worry, you won't be homeless." With that, Ishihara Akira clasped his hands together again and activated Wood Release, giving Mai Shiranui and the others an even more perfect dome.

Chapter 657 Martial Arts Fanatic

After a while, only Ishihara Sho and Shiranui Mai remained in the room.

As for the others?

King was so ashamed of his incontinence during the battle that he locked himself in his room after washing up and wouldn't come out unless something serious happened.

The Terry brothers and Higashijo each had some issues, so although they were still conscious, they stayed in their rooms to rest, planning to talk to Ishihara Sho about the dance after they recovered somewhat.

Yuri Itagaki is with King.

Athena and the other two mainly helped heal everyone's condition and remove the Dark Travel Technique from Kensou's place. After Andy's chaotic rush, at Chin Gentsai's signal, he bid farewell and left the Shiranui Dojo, planning to come back the next day to see if he should let it go or continue to participate in the subjugation of Ishihara Sho.

"You've seen the situation now. Your friends, on whom you pinned your hopes, are no match for me, whether they're alone or ganging up on me. Do you think it's still worth it for you to keep going?" Ishihara Akira said, looking at Mai Shiranui sitting across from him with a blank expression.

"Anyway, I will never agree to become your woman," Mai Shiranui replied.

"Your answer will only force me to use my last resort prematurely. Are you sure you want me to do that?" Ishihara Sho chuckled lightly and asked slowly and deliberately.

Mai Shiranui remained silent.

But if she didn't remain silent, she wouldn't know how to resolve her own troubles.

With her friends not being supportive, and unable to defeat the guy in front of her, plus the fact that Ishihara Sho seemed determined not to budge, Mai Shiranui had never felt so helpless.

"Just because I'm good-looking?"

Thinking of this, Mai Shiranui's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ishihara Akira and said in a deep voice, "If you keep pushing me like this, I'll ruin my face and chop off these two things on my chest! The reason you want me to be your woman is just for my face and these things on my body, right? I'll ruin them now, and let's see if you still want me!"

"Go ahead and do it. I'll consider it a loss if I even frown," Ishihara Akira chuckled.
