The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Do you really think that the existence of dual-wielding hands is just for show?

Moreover, even without the Dual-Hand Technique, he still possesses medical ninjutsu and magic, either of which would be sufficient to solve the problem posed by Mai Shiranui.

"Furthermore, how do you know that there isn't a category for medical ninjutsu in the ninjutsu system I practice?"

"So don't think that you're just disfigured and missing body parts. Even if you're dead, as long as your soul is intact, I still have a way to bring you back from the underworld."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you're still unwilling. Anyway, the reason I want you to be my woman is not only because of your looks, but also because your physical qualities are excellent enough. If we are together, we should be able to produce offspring with even better ninjutsu training. If you really insist, I can just extract your soul and imprison it, and then use puppetry to refine your body into a living corpse. At that time, I can do whatever I want."

"As for emotional exchange? Your friends KING and Yuri Banzai, as well as Athena who left before, are all quite good. With your experience as a precedent, I think they will seriously consider my suggestion for the sake of their family and friends, right?"

"You're a monster!" Mai Shiranui's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, her eyes filled with uncontrollable fear and hatred as she spoke.

“I never said I was a good person,” Ishihara Akira said with an unmoved smile.

"Think it over carefully. I hope that when we meet again during the day, I can get the answer I want from you. Otherwise..." Ishihara Akira smiled softly, got up and went back to his room.

Mai Shiranui remained silent, her eyes gradually dimming.

……

Then the next day, around 10 a.m., the people at the Shiranui dojo were awakened by an unexpected visitor.

"Brother, you're back!" Yuri Banqi exclaimed with delight as she watched Ryo Banqi walk in from outside.

"You called and told me to come back quickly, how could I dare to stay out there any longer?" Banqi Liao said to Banqi Youli with a light smile.

Then he nodded to King, who had finally broken through his mental barrier and come out of the house, and turned his gaze back to his younger sister, asking, "Why did you tell me to come back so quickly?"

“Yes…” Yuri Itagaki did not hesitate and told Ryo Itagaki everything that had happened to Mai Shiranui and the details of yesterday’s battle.

The matter of Mai Shiranui didn't affect him much, after all, his relationship with Mai Shiranui was just that of familiar fighters, far less close than his relationship with his sister Yuri Itazaki. On the contrary, if it were King who was involved, he might have reacted more emotionally...

On the contrary, the fact that Ishihara Shoichi won the battle against seven opponents in a crushing manner attracted more attention and fueled his fighting spirit as a martial arts fanatic who pursued the limits of martial arts.

"Is it you? The one who forced Mai Shiranui to marry?" Banqi Liao asked in a deep voice, looking at Ishihara Sho, the only stranger in the room.

"So what if it's me?" Ishihara Akira calmly retorted.

“I won’t take advantage of you. Come down and fight me. If you win, I won’t interfere in your affairs with Mai Shiranui anymore. But if you lose, you must leave here immediately and never appear in front of Mai Shiranui again. Can you do that?” Ban Qiliao asked bluntly.

“These are the rules I set. You don’t need to tell me. If you can do it, just come up and give it a try.” Ishihara Akira walked into the courtyard and stood opposite Itagaki Ryo.

"Okay. Yuri, you step aside first."

"Okay." Yuri Itagaki obediently walked away.

"Liao, be careful, this guy's methods are very strange," Terry warned.

"I'll be careful," Ban Qiliao said, assuming a Kyokugenryu fighting stance.

……

After a moment of silence, Banqi Liao decisively initiated the battle, unleashing a ranged Qi Gong attack, the Tiger Blade Fist, which flew towards Ishihara Sho.

Ishihara Sho flashed and instantly appeared in front of Ban Qi Liao. Before he could make a move, Ban Qi Liao's ice pillar slash came crashing down on his head. Ishihara Sho ducked and slid to the side, simultaneously unleashing a whip kick.

"Bang!" Ban Qiliao tried to resist with his body technique, but he still couldn't withstand the force and his body slid backward uncontrollably.

Seizing the opportunity, Ishihara Takashi immediately raised his arm and fired a water gun dart.

Ban Qiliao sensed the threat and didn't dare to take the hit head-on, so he immediately ran to the side.

But then Ishihara Sho's figure reappeared in front of him. Banqi Liao responded with the Temporary Fist, but Ishihara Sho's figure disappeared with a soft "poof". However, the next moment, a fire dragon roared and shot from the entrance of the dojo, crashing straight into Banqi Liao.

Chapter 658 Wishes Fulfilled

Banqi Liao dodged, but the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is not like other ninjutsu that can be launched and then forgotten. The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is a technique that can be remotely controlled and pursued, so as soon as Banqi Liao dodged, the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet rushed towards him again.

Ban Qiliao had no choice but to continue dodging.

As for smashing it to pieces...

He does have the means, but the control of the force—whether it's using a finishing move like the Tiger Flame Fist or just the Tiger Flame Fist itself—makes a significant difference.

The former is straightforward; once unleashed, it can withstand not only the mere Fire Dragon Flame Bullet but also more powerful ninjutsu. However, the consequence is muscle stiffness, resulting from the burst of energy, making it easy for Ishihara Akira to seize the opportunity for close-range attacks. The latter, while not having this concern, seems unlikely to completely negate the power of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. It's possible that even if he throws a punch, he himself will suffer from the flames and high temperatures.

Therefore, considering both options, avoiding the situation is the best choice.

But Ishihara Sho wouldn't just chase after him with a single Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. Just as Ban Qi Liao was getting used to the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, with a thought from Ishihara Sho, the ground Ban Qi Liao had just stepped on suddenly cracked open, and then an earth dragon roared and charged out of the ground.

Ban Qiliao was startled and quickly stepped on the dragon head, leaping into the air.

The fire dragon followed and crashed into Ban Qiliao, who was in mid-air.

Tu Long felt the same way, suddenly realizing his own escape route.

Upon seeing this, Ban Qiliao's expression changed, his eyes hardened, and he directly used the ultimate move of the Kyokugenryu style in mid-air—Dragon Tiger Rampage. He stepped on the void as if he were standing on solid ground, and like a phantom, he rushed out from the attack of the two dragons, flying to the front of Ishihara Sho, and then unleashed all the accumulated attacks.

Ishihara Sho didn't dodge; instead, he followed suit, using the Shinigami's hand-to-hand combat technique to disguise himself as Konoha's fluid technique, Steel Fist, and began to fight Itagaki Ryo.

"Crackling and popping..."

After a series of sounds, in the end, Ishihara Akira's skill prevailed.

After all, Ishihara Sho's burst of power relied on his own abilities and magical power, and the damage to his body was far less exaggerated than that of Qi. Itagaki Ryo's burst of power relied entirely on the squeezing of his body by Qi. It was okay in the short term, but in the long term, his muscles and blood vessels would have problems to varying degrees. His endurance was far less than that of Ishihara Sho. So in the end, Itagaki Ryo could not help but take a heavy punch from Ishihara Sho with superhuman strength techniques!

He was sent flying backwards like a cannonball.

Then, Ishihara Akira pressed his advantage, using the Body Flicker Technique to quickly close the distance. His hands were wrapped in electricity, as if he were about to give Itagaki Ryo an electroshock treatment. He used the Dragon Tiger Frenzy technique that he had just copied from the previous clash to bombard Itagaki Ryo in front of him...

They only stopped after beating him until he was bruised and unconscious, and then slowly stepped back from in front of Ban Qiliao.

"burn!"

"elder brother!"

KING, Yuri Itazaki, and Terry shouted in succession.

Without hesitation, he quickly ran to Ban Qiliao's side and began to check on his physical condition.

Ishihara Akira ignored all of this and turned to stand in front of Mai Shiranui, looking at her and asking, "Now, you should be able to tell me your final decision, right?"

"...I understand. I agree." After a long silence, Mai Shiranui finally said awkwardly, looking unwilling.

"Mai!?" Andy, who was paying close attention to the interaction between Ishihara Akira and Shiranui Mai, exclaimed in disbelief.

“A wise choice,” Ishihara Akira laughed. He then stood next to Mai Shiranui, put his arm around her shoulder, and said with a smile to Andy beside him, “Since you can’t give her happiness, and even repeatedly refuse Mai’s marriage proposals, then don’t blame Mai for abandoning you and choosing to come into my arms. After all, Mai is also a woman, and she doesn’t have that much youth to waste.”

"You bastard!" Andy roared. Then, disregarding whether he was a match for Ishihara Akira, he used a phantom slide to rush in front of Ishihara Akira.

"He really overestimates himself." Ishihara Sho chuckled, too lazy to even make a move. Andy stood there, frozen in place, like a vegetable, oblivious to his surroundings.

"Now that things are settled, let's not delay any longer. How about this, we'll discuss the wedding arrangements later, invite the guests, and announce my arrival," Ishihara Akira said to Shiranui Mai in his arms after dealing with Andy.

King, Terry, and Dongzhang exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.

After all, the parties involved have already compromised, so these outsiders have no reason to interfere or obstruct their marriage...

Even though Mai Shiranui's ex-boyfriend, Andy, was lying dead right next to her.

……

And so, adhering to the principle of keeping everything simple and quick, a week later, the two became a legal couple, witnessed by many fighters and some of Mai Shiranui's relatives and friends.

Mai Shiranui has officially changed her name to Mai Ishihara...

Andy remained unconscious throughout the entire ordeal. It wasn't until the day after Ishihara Akira and Shiranui Mai's wedding night that, at Terry's request, the illusion—the Tenbu Horin: Deprivation of the Five Senses—was broken. Filled with resentment, he was half-dragged and half-carried away from Japan by Terry and Higashijo.

Then there's KING. After all, her younger brother is still in Nanzhen. She was indeed worried about his safety after being away for so long. So, on the night that Mai Shiranui's wedding celebration ended, she took the next available flight and left Japan.

The others did the same, each going off to attend to their own business. So after the excitement, the Shiranui dojo returned to its tranquility, becoming a small garden for Ishihara Akira and Shiranui Mai.

After tossing Mai Shiranui to sleep once again, Ishihara Akira took action, replacing Andy in her memories with himself, completely erasing Andy from her life's memories.

"By the way, Mai, do you know Chizuru Kagura?" The next morning, Ishihara Akira, who was lying on Mai Shiranui's lap enjoying the beauty's lap pillow, looked up at her and asked.

"Chizuru? I know her. What's up?" Mai Shiranui asked casually while running her fingers through Ishihara Sho's hair.

"Do you know their family's mission?" Ishihara Akira asked again.

“I’ve heard some things, but I don’t know the specifics. After all, our Shiranui-ryu is a direct descendant of the Kusanagi family, and we don’t have much contact with the Kagura family, which is a branch of the priests. Plus, with independence in modern times, many secrets have been lost with the passing of the elders. You could say that if it weren’t for the King of Fighters tournament, I might not even have met Miss Kagura,” Mai Shiranui explained.

"She participated in the King of Fighters tournament?" Ishihara Akira asked in surprise.

He doesn't remember Chizuru Kagura being in King of Fighters '94 or King of Fighters '95.

"No, not really. But shortly after the 95 tournament ended, Chizuru came to see me and asked me about the King of Fighters tournament. By the way, I heard that this year's King of Fighters tournament is being organized by a conglomerate controlled by the Kagura family."

Chapter 659 Kagura Chizuru

"Can you still contact her now?" Ishihara Akira asked.

"It's possible, but what do you want with her?" Mai Shiranui asked warily.

"I have something to discuss with her regarding her family's mission. Could you help me contact her?" Ishihara Akira raised his hand and scratched Mai Shiranui's conscience, chuckling softly.

"A matter of great importance concerning the family mission? Alright, I'll ask for you. As for whether she'll agree to meet you later, I can't guarantee that." Mai Shiranui rolled her eyes at Ishihara Sho, but didn't stop his mischievous hand.

“Yes, that’s fine,” Ishihara Akira agreed.

"Then you wait here." With that, Mai Shiranui moved Ishihara Sho's head aside, stood up, walked to the entrance, picked up the phone there, and dialed the number she remembered.

"Hello, are you Ms. Kagura Chizuru? I'm Mai Shiranui..."

"..."

"Oh, thank you, thank you."

"..."

"The reason I'm making this call is because my husband, Ishihara Akira, says he has something to discuss with you regarding your family's mission. Do you have time to meet with him?"

"..."

“I’m not entirely sure either, but that’s what he said.”

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him right away."
