Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"We nearly died at the bottom of the sea. After we escaped, I was captured and auctioned off as a monster. The wanted warrant issued by the Metropolitan Police Department was also your doing, right? Gen Chisheng once said that you have acquaintances in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." Lu Mingfei's tone was filled with a hint of cold sarcasm. "Are you Japanese born with such a face that doesn't distinguish between morality and good and evil? Aren't we three responsible for such a miserable experience? Isn't it natural for me to sneak into your base and do something rogue to get revenge? How dare you ask us what our purpose is?"

Lu Mingfei's questions were like a string of cannonballs that hit Sakurai Nanami's conscience hard. This female head of the family, who was well-known for her prestige among the eight families of Sheqi, was now speechless because of Lu Mingfei's questions...but the muzzle of the gun she was aiming at Lu Mingfei did not change direction.

Tachibana Masamune suddenly pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Kaguya-sama, have Genji Heavy Industries enter full lockdown mode. Forbid all personnel from entering or leaving the building. Seal off the ventilation ducts and sewer pipes. Retrieve the information on Cassel Academy's specialists, 'Caesar Gattuso' and 'Chu Zihang,' from the database. Conduct a thorough search of the building for any trace of them."

"Order given by: Tachibana Masamune, Executor: Kaguya-hime. Voiceprint reading passed, order executed." Kaguya-hime responded quickly and respectfully, "The building will enter full lockdown mode within thirty seconds. Surveillance equipment will be fully utilized to search for Caesar Gattuso and Chu Zihang."

The previous moment, Genji Heavy Industries looked like a brightly lit office building from the outside. However, the moment Kaguya-hime passed the order, the originally prosperous building instantly turned into a fortress as strong as an iron wall.

All ventilation ducts and sewer pipes stopped functioning instantly. The locks on the heavy iron doors in front of the fire escape and emergency passage were locked one after another. Steel partitions fell in front of every window that could see outside. The stairs between floors were also blocked. Only those holding high-authority magnetic cards could use the elevator to travel between different floors.

"Mr. Lu, I'm very happy to see that you are still alive. Regarding the Jiyuan Project, the Executive Bureau did hide something from you. The family owes you a lot. I apologize to you here." Tachibana Masamune bowed deeply to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei didn't dodge or say anything, he just stood there and looked at Tachibana Masamune who was putting on a show with cold eyes.

When Tachibana Masamune straightened up and was about to speak again, Lu Mingfei suddenly sneered, "I guess what you're going to tell me next is that you, the Eight Snake Families, have your own stance and your own unavoidable difficulties. You don't expect our forgiveness because you are evil people. You can generously admit that for the benefit of the family, you must control Caesar, Chu Zihang, and me, but you can promise to guarantee our lives and let us go after everything is settled... Right? Is that what you want to say to me?"

Tachibana Masamune's expression, which was as steady as a rock, suddenly showed a trace of surprise. After adjusting his expression, he said: "Yes, Lu Jun, you are absolutely right. You are a smart person, and it is very easy to communicate with smart people. Since you can understand the difficulties of the family, I believe..."

"Stop, stop." Lu Mingfei suddenly waved his hand to interrupt Tachibana Masamune. "You're overthinking it. I didn't say I understood you. I was just trying to put myself in your hypocritical Japanese perspective and imagine myself as a shameless bastard who could say such a shameless thing."

"Boss Caesar once told me that he thought the most bastard family in the world was none other than the Gattuso family. If he were in front of me now, I'd really want to refute him..." Lu Mingfei and Tachibana Masamune stared at each other, a scornful arc on their lips. "Aren't there families even more bastard than the Gattuso family? And there are eight of them!"

"Asshole! How can you encroach upon the reputation of the Sheqi Eight Families?" Sakurai Nanami cursed. Lu Mingfei's blatant ridicule made her so angry that she pulled the trigger again.

"You think you can hurt me with this thing?" Guanshi Zhengzong's sharp knife flashed, and the hard bullet was split into two again in front of Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"You're deeply aware of your own despicableness, yet you can't accept correction from others? You've wrapped your family's ugliness and shamefulness in a fragile and hypocritical honor. Do you think what I just said is an insult to you?"

Lu Mingfei used his thumb to knock the split bullet to the feet of Sakurai Nanami and Tachibana Masamune, his tone mixed with sarcasm and ridicule.

"Don't bring your easily shattered pride to shame yourself, okay? Honor that requires painstaking care, where no one is allowed to criticize it, is no different from non-existent in the first place."

"Speaking of which, you so-called Japanese underworld masters are truly pathetic. We Chinese have been indoctrinating you for so many years, yet you still can't learn the meaning of loyalty, filial piety, chastity, and righteousness? Even now, I can't find the words 'good' and 'evil' in your dictionary. Have they been eaten away by you and your sins?"

"Then you really aren't picky about food, and you're not afraid of getting an upset stomach!"

Lu Mingfei gave a cold, cold smile.

"That's right. There's a certain kind of animal that really isn't afraid of getting an upset stomach. After all, they even eat feces... Mr. Masamune, do you know what animal I'm talking about?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Tachibana Masamune coldly, and his sarcastic remarks continued incessantly, being extremely sarcastic. His fierce words were like a sharp knife, piercing Tachibana Masamune's heart.

Tachibana Masamune's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it. The blue veins at the corners of his eyes were throbbing like gunshots, and his icy cold eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.

This supreme figure in the Japanese underworld had never revealed such a terrifying murderous intent to anyone, but now he was ridiculed by a junior to the point that he could hardly hide his inner cunning.

"Inuyama-kun!" Masamune Tachibana shouted.

Inuyama He sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but sigh that the atmosphere at Kassel Academy was truly... tough! The principal was like this, and so were the best students. Could it be that the academy's ratings, in addition to testing students' dragon-slaying abilities, also required them to practice sarcastic rhetoric?

After experiencing Ange's ridicule, Inuyama He did not find Lu Mingfei's words unbearable, but in front of Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami, he had to stand on the family's side and fight for the family.

Inuyama He performed the opening move of Iai, Onimaru Kuninaga drew his sword, and "Setsuna" was activated from the fifth level, and a thirty-two times speed slash broke out in an instant.

At the moment when the blades intersected, a clear sound resounded through the three floors. Lu Mingfei successfully blocked Inuyama He's super-fast sword in front of him, but his body couldn't stop retreating.

"What you said just now was too much. It will do you no good to anger the heads of the families present." At the moment when the swords flashed, Inuyama He whispered a reminder in Lu Mingfei's ear.

"I'm just telling the truth, aren't I? Do you think that if I compliment Masamune Tachibana against my conscience, he will let me go?" Lu Mingfei asked back.

Chapter 288 Lu Mingfei attacks Tachibana Masamune!

The figures of Lu Mingfei and Inuyama He crossed each other again and again in the narrow aisle. The two famous demon-slaying swords of Guanze Masamune and Onimaru Kuninaga tore through the air, leaving behind illusory afterimages.

But in fact, all of this was "performed" for Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami. Although the two seemed to be fighting a life-and-death battle, in fact, neither of them was going to kill. This was the tacit understanding between top swordsmen. Both of them reserved strength not to harm the other's life, just like old enemies who had experienced thousands of drills.

In every moment measured in seconds, the two of them would clash with each other no less than ten times in a row. This was a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The sounds of breaking through the air and colliding overlapped, as if a whole nest of wasps were vibrating their wings at the same time, sharp and piercing. The two used this layer of sound as a barrier and whispered to each other during each confrontation.

"Insulting Mr. Masamune on the territory of the Snake Eight Clan is comparable to insulting their country's president in the White House," Inuyama He said gravely. "Based on what you just said, if you fall into the hands of the Sakurai Clan Master, you will end up in a terrible situation. You angered her. Don't underestimate her beauty. The Sakurai Clan Master's methods are feared even in the underworld."

"That depends on you, Master Inuyama," Lu Mingfei said. "If you don't join forces with Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami to kill me, my chances of escaping are still very high."

"Genji Heavy Industries has been completely blocked. During the blockade, not even a mouse can enter or leave the building. It will be difficult for you and your companions to escape." Inuyama He said.

"That's right, the building is sealed off and it's difficult for us to escape," Lu Mingfei said, "but at the same time, it's also difficult for you, the Eight Clans of Sheqi, to escape. If you don't want everyone in the building to be buried with you, Tachibana Masamune must lift the blockade."

"What do you mean?" Inuyama He was slightly stunned.

"Even you family heads don't know what kind of pets your beloved Mr. Masamune has kept in this building," Lu Mingfei whispered. "You'll see them in a moment, Master Inuyama. You'd better be mentally prepared. With your swordsmanship, you won't be in any danger, but there are still many ordinary office workers in this building. I hope you won't abandon them when necessary."

Inuyama He was even more puzzled. His brows were furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and the speed of his sword was frozen for a moment.

"Here they come!" Lu Mingfei dodged Sakurai Nanami's bullet and seized the opportunity to use Kanze Masamune to deflect Inuyama Kagimaru Kunitsuna's blade. Suddenly, he shouted, "They are coming!"

As if in response to Lu Mingfei's words, a violent and harsh friction sound suddenly sounded at the end of the corridor on this floor, like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard amplified countless times. The sharp sound stimulated the eardrums and brain, making people instinctively feel physically uncomfortable.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. The entire corridor was empty except for a VIP elevator at the end... It was not difficult to guess that the thing making the shrill sound was hidden behind the VIP elevator.

"What's going on?" Taking advantage of the fact that Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami were distracted, Inuyama He looked at Lu Mingfei and asked quickly, "You said they're coming? Who are you referring to by 'they'?"

Lu Mingfei did not answer Inuyama He's question, but looked intently at the end of the corridor... It was unclear whether he was staring at the door of the VIP elevator or the back of Tachibana Masamune.

Another explosive friction sound was heard, this time even clearer, as if someone was using a hard drill to punch a hole in the metal outer door of the VIP elevator shaft. It was followed by a terrifying roar, more heart-wrenching than any roar of a wild beast.

"Master Inuyama, you don't have to be too curious about what this thing is. It will appear in front of us soon anyway." Lu Mingfei also lowered his voice and said to Inuyama He quickly, "What you should pay attention to is the expressions of Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami at this moment."

Inuyama looked at Tachibana Masamune and Sakurai Nanami, both of whom had deeply frowned... The difference was that Sakurai Nanami's face was more full of confusion and fear. Even though she was the head of the family, humans' fear of the unknown was subconscious and instinctive, and it was impossible to erase it from their bones.

Tachibana Masamune's expression was filled with disbelief, anger and irritation... It was as if he had known from the beginning what was roaring behind the door, but was simply furious and puzzled as to why such a thing would appear here.

The metal elevator door was torn open. This kind of door built on the outside of each floor of the elevator shaft weighed hundreds of kilograms. Even with a diamond drill bit, it would take a long time to drill out a round hole the size of a finger... A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Inuyama He and Sakurai Nanami, and Tachibana Masamune's face became more and more gloomy.

The two closed door panels continued to vibrate, and the cracks expanded in strips like a torn potato chip package. Blue-black claws protruded from the cracks. The front part of the claws was extremely sharp. This was definitely not the hand shape that a human could have. A long claw could easily pierce the skull of an ordinary person.

The huge golden pupils peeked at everyone through the pitch-black gap, and there was a cold aura in the pupils. People who were swept by this huge golden vertical pupil could not help but feel a chill on their spine, as if a small snake was crawling along the lower back all the way to the neck, and its slimy and boneless skin was scratching your skin, and its cold snake tongue was "sizzling" in your ears.

"Damn, what is this thing!" Sakurai Nanami was frightened by the huge golden vertical pupil. She raised the gun and pulled the trigger.

Sakurai Nanami's shooting skills are very superb. The bullet accurately passed through the crack of the door panel and shot into the golden pupil, piercing in like a sharp knife tip.

Blood gushed out, and angry and painful roars echoed throughout the entire floor.

The thing was completely enraged by Sakurai Nanami's shot. It tore open two thick metal door panels, leaned over and crawled out of the dark well cellar. The appearance of the thing was finally exposed to everyone.

It was a monster with a human face and a snake body, with a long and slender tail. Its entire body was over five meters long, and its long black hair hung down from both sides of its face like seaweed, with the ends of its hair constantly dripping into the water.

Its pale face could be vaguely seen in the long hair. At first glance, it looked like a fair-skinned human woman, but the face was as pointed as a snake spirit. Its left pupil was flickering with golden light like a burning candle, while the right pupil was dim and black, because it had just been injured by Sakurai Nanami. Dark red blood kept oozing out and fell to the floor with a crackling sound, like sticky red asphalt.

It covered its injured right eye with its dry palm and glared at Sakurai Nanami, as if it was angry and sneering. The edges of its huge lips split behind its ears, revealing a mouth full of spiral fangs, like dense long thorns. The end of its tongue was forked, twisting like two small snakes, sucking the cold light.

"Shizoku?!" Sakurai Nanami was shocked, "How could there be a Shizoku in Genji Heavy Industries!"

"That's not a corpse guard. I've encountered such creatures on the seabed. They only have bloodthirsty instincts and don't express anger or revenge towards any individual, but this thing is clearly conscious." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "Master Sakurai, don't you notice it's staring at you? It's angry at you because you injured it."

"So, it's... Deadpool?" Sakurai Nanami murmured as she looked at the monster with a human face and a snake body.

If the appearance of corpse guards in Genji Heavy Industries might be understandable, but in the Jiyuan Plan some time ago, the Eight Snake Families did not eliminate all the corpse guards, and finally had to use the head of the Uesugi family as a secret weapon.

The judgment of the head of the Uesugi family is unstoppable within her domain, but there is no guarantee for the parts outside the domain. Perhaps a small number of corpse guards disappeared from the vast ocean before the head of the Uesugi family appeared. The eight families of Sheqi have never given up the search for the corpse guards. A whole week has passed, and at most they have only found the broken dead bodies of the corpse guards. No one knows whether there may be a fish that has slipped through the Iron Dome Temple that leads directly to the sea of ​​Tokyo Bay and sneaked into Genji Heavy Industries.

But the one who appeared in front of them was not Shiki but Deadpool, then everything changed. There was probably someone hiding behind Deadpool who was secretly manipulating him. This might very well be a conspiracy against the Eight Clans of Sheqi!

The half-human, half-snake monster twisted its deformed body and rushed through the narrow aisle, rushing towards Sakurai Nanami. It was hard to imagine that such a huge body could possess such an incredible speed, just like a sumo wrestler possessing the explosive power of a sprinter.

But Nanami Sakurai was obviously not a pushover. Wearing high heels, she stepped on the wall and actually jumped high over Deadpool's head. She turned her body in mid-air and fired several shots at Deadpool's other giant golden eye with her pistol.

Thick blood splattered, and the last eye of this Deadpool was blinded. It fell into endless darkness. The pain and fear awakened its trembling and anger. It roared and cut around in the cramped space with its sharp claws like a madman, leaving long and deep scratches on the walls.

"Master Inuyama!" Sakurai Nanami shouted loudly after landing.

A red and black blood flower suddenly bloomed between the monster's eyebrows. Onimaru Kunitsuna's blade tore the skin between its eyes, along with the deeper skull, leaving a deep cut on its head.

The monster let out a heart-wrenching roar, and it waved its claws weakly, but it could only touch the air. Inuyama He's figure was like a ghost, appearing for only a moment and then disappearing immediately. The sharp demon-slaying blade repeatedly cut at the same position on Deadpool's head.

The monster's roars grew weaker and weaker until its huge head was split in two. Its massive body crashed to the ground, and black blood gushed out of its head like a fountain.

Inuyama He made a total of thirteen sword strikes, but they were completed in just a few moments. After the blood was shaken, he put away the sword, and his posture was as elegant as a roku in the shogunate era who swung his sword to kill the enemy.

"But I still can't understand, where did this Deadpool get into Genji Heavy Industries? Didn't Kaguya notice it?" Sakurai Nanami frowned.

Inuyama He looked at Tachibana Masamune. The old man in a black kimono was not paying attention to the battle between the two family heads and Deadpool. Even the loud bang when Deadpool fell to the ground did not attract his attention. Tachibana Masamune was standing in front of the torn door panel of the VIP elevator shaft, leaning forward, looking into the deep darkness below.

In the darkness deep below, pairs of golden eyes were like Buddha lamps burning in the netherworld. Low growls and grinding sounds echoed in the empty well walls, like the whispers of the devil.

Tachibana Masamune's face looked very ugly. When he first saw the Deadpool killed by Inuyama He, he had a vague guess in his heart that something was wrong. Now it seems that his guess was confirmed... There was a problem with the water tank on the bottom floor of Genji Heavy Industries, and someone released these Deadpools.

What made him uneasy was not these Deadpools themselves, but that he had no clue who was the instigator of this incident. The only known invader now was Lu Mingfei, but judging from the time, the Deadpools should have been released not long ago. During this period of time, Lu Mingfei had been with him and the others. It was impossible for him to liberate the Deadpools at the bottom under his nose.

Could it be the other two commissioners from Kassel College?

"Oh, Mr. Masamune, I suddenly remembered..." Sakurai Nanami said suddenly, "There were two other people who took the same elevator to the 22nd floor with Lu Mingfei. They were both wearing uniforms from the Ganliu Research Institute. I didn't think much of it at the time and just asked them to help the executive department inspect the mechanical equipment on the 22nd floor. Now that I think about it, they were quite suspicious!"

"Caesar, Chu Zihang." Tachibana Masamune whispered the two names, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Chisheng? You're still on the 22nd floor, right? Are there two people wearing the uniforms of the Yanliu Research Institute on your side... heading into the shadow wall room? Track them down! Those two people are most likely Caesar and Chu Zihang in disguise!"

Tachibana Masamune hung up the phone, turned his head with a gloomy expression, glanced around, but suddenly froze.

"Mr. Masamune, is there something wrong?" Seeing the strange look in Tachibana Masamune's eyes, Inuyama He took the initiative to ask.

"Where is Lu Mingfei?" Tachibana Masamune asked in surprise.

Inuyama He and Sakurai Nanami were stunned at the same time. Their attention was attracted by the sudden attack of Deadpool and the phone call made by Tachibana Masamune. It happened so suddenly that no one paid attention to Lu Mingfei at that time. Now when they came to their senses, they found that Lu Mingfei... had disappeared!

In such a short time, it was obviously impossible for Lu Mingfei to leave via the freight elevator on the other side of the corridor. Could it be that he was hiding in some secret room or compartment?

"Tachibana Masamune!"

Lu Mingfei's voice rang out, but the three of them looked around, and no one knew where Lu Mingfei was speaking to them from.

Suddenly, the body of Deadpool, who had fallen to the ground, turned over again.

Not dead yet?

Sakurai Nanami and Inuyama Kaoru subconsciously drew their swords and guns and attacked Deadpool's body. In an instant, no one had time to stop the black shadow that suddenly emerged from under Deadpool's body.

The black shadow pounced on Masamune Tachibana at lightning speed!

Chapter 289: Lu Mingfei Blinds Tachibana Masamune

No one could have expected that this guy would use Deadpool's body as a cover and suddenly attack Masamune Tachibana when everyone was off guard.

It was just like the Trojan War in history. No one could have expected that the enemy would hide in the Wooden Horse, and the sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

The sudden appearance of Deadpool's corpse attracted all the firepower of Inuyama He and Sakurai Nanami. At the critical moment, no one had time to pay attention to the rushing black shadow, even Tachibana Masamune himself was very surprised.

The blade of Guanshi Zhengzong's sword cut through the air, as if wrapped in the mighty wind and thunder. The long sword drew a pale arc, as beautiful as a girl's eyebrows. The blade left afterimages due to its extreme speed. This famous sword had almost been swung to the limit of its ability to cut.

The murderous intent was as heavy as a mountain, like a collapsing peak, crushing towards Tachibana Masamune, making the former head of the Snake Eight Families feel suffocated, and his soul could not stop trembling, almost unable to breathe.

Surrounded by the breath of death, Tachibana Masamune could hardly move his body. He bit down on the tip of his tongue fiercely. The pain made his mind clear instantly and his reaction exceeded the limit. At the moment of life and death, he drew out the ancient sword at his waist and finally blocked it in front of his right eye before Guanze Masamune's blade fell.

The blood bloomed like reeds and then splattered.

Lu Mingfei stopped at the door of the VIP elevator. Tachibana Masamune, who was originally standing at the door, couldn't help but stumble back a step, half of his foot stepped on empty air, and half of his body was hanging in the deep elevator shaft.

Lu Mingfei's blood trembled, and then he put away the knife. The blood on the blade splashed onto the ground in streaks, forming a long scarlet line.

He really had the intention to kill, although he knew very well that he should not do it at this moment, but the powerful enemy was right in front of him, and almost no one could suppress the murderous intent.

Fortunately, Tachibana Masamune successfully blocked his murderous sword, proving that this old guy is indeed lucky... It is right to let him survive for the time being. In fact, Lu Mingfei was also afraid in his heart that this old guy might not be able to withstand the blow and be killed by his sword.

Then the issue of Eiry and Chu Zihang’s bloodline will be troublesome.

The current result is what makes Lu Mingfei most satisfied. He lets the old man Tachibana Masamune live for the time being, collects some interest from him for the time being, and looks at the old man's furious look... This feels much better than killing him with a single knife.

Tachibana Masamune's world dimmed halfway. He covered his left eye in disbelief, feeling the burning pain from his eyebrow to his lower eyelid. He touched something wet and sticky, took his hand away, and looked with his only remaining right eye... His hand was covered in crimson blood!

A long, thin bloodstain ran across his right eye, slanting slightly from the peak of his brow to the wing of his nose... Tachibana Masamune was unable to completely resist Lu Mingfei's murderous knife, and the price he paid was this painful wound and the loss of his left eye's sight.

Pain, shame and terror... Lu Mingfei almost killed him with one sword. All the negative emotions mixed together and exploded in Tachibana Masamune's heart.

He stared at Lu Mingfei with his only remaining right eye, the murderous intent in his eyes boiling like boiling water. He had never felt so humiliated, so angry, and so terrified as he did now... In that instant, he could clearly feel the young man's murderous intent that was like peeling off his skin and gnawing at his bones. At that moment, he even felt that he had died under the young man's blade... So much so that he still felt as if he was in another world, and the hand holding the ancient knife was still trembling slightly.

"Oh, Mr. Masamune, I'm so sorry. Just now, you asked the head of the Inuyama family to fight with me, and I got addicted to fighting. Seeing that you also carried a sword, I couldn't help but challenge you to a fight. I originally thought that as the head of the family, you should be very skilled in swordsmanship, but I didn't expect that I would actually injure you with a single blow."

Lu Mingfei made an insincere "apology" in an exaggerated tone.

"You wouldn't mind a minor injury like this, would you? Just like we didn't mind you, the Eight Snake Clans, throwing us eight thousand meters below the sea to face an overwhelming swarm of corpse guards, right?"

"Lu Mingfei, do you know what this means by attacking the former patriarch of our Sheqi Eight Families?" Sakurai Nanami asked Lu Mingfei sternly.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Lu Mingfei's expression changed instantly as he said this. The fake smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Sakurai Nanami coldly. "You, the three commissioners of the Snake Eight Clan, are plotting against the secret party. Do you know what this means?"
