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

How long ago was that? The last era? Or the era before that? It must have been over sixty years ago, right? Back then, before Fuma Kotaro took over as head of the Fuma clan, a certain man was at the height of his power within the Yaki clan, and indeed throughout Japan. His status was even higher than that of Minamoto no Chisei today, and the previous patriarch, Masamune Nagatsuga... He was the true "Emperor," the supreme ruler of the Japanese underworld. Yet, due to some unsavory secret, he defected from the clan and was expelled from it. His name was rarely mentioned today. The younger generation of the clan didn't even know that the Yaki clan had once possessed such a figure. But the ruins of the old shrine he burned down still remain deep in the mountains, where the family honors the spirits of their ancestors.

Is that the man? Could it be that the man... is still alive? Fuma Kotaro muttered to himself in an inaudible voice in the sea breeze, and the old man's weathered face trembled uncontrollably.

It wasn't just Fuma Kotaro who was trembling, but also Caesar and Chu Zihang... At this time, Caesar and Chu Zihang stared at the old man who was torturing the King of Corpses like a god descending from heaven with their eyes wide open, their eye sockets almost popping out, and both of their bodies couldn't stop shaking.

"Damn it, this old guy is so perverted? He's so fierce that it's almost beyond imagination!" Caesar couldn't help but click his tongue. "The elephant turtle is his son, Kazama Ruri is his son, and Uesugi Eriya is his daughter... What's the structure of this monster's family?"

"It turns out that time at the ramen stall, he could really deal with us." Even someone as cold-blooded as Chu Zihang couldn't help but change his expression at this moment, muttering stiffly.

After hearing what Chu Zihang said, Caesar's face changed drastically... Of course, the two of them had not forgotten that after solving the crisis of the Snake Eight Clan being attacked by Deadpool some time ago, they ran out of the Genji Heavy Industries Building and found a ramen stall along the street. In the end, they didn't even get to eat a single bite of noodles and provoked the ramen chef. After saying something like "you have Alzheimer's", the two ran away, leaving the ramen chef so angry that he stood there in a daze, blowing his beard and glaring.

Although Lu Mingfei mentioned that the ramen master was very strong, who could have imagined that he was so ridiculously strong!

Looking at the Corpse Guardian King who had descended as a king not long ago but was now beaten badly, Caesar and Chu Zihang couldn't help but think of their time in the screen wall of the Genji Heavy Industries Building. When they first faced Genji Chisheng in the "dragon bone state", the two were beaten all over the floor by the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex... Genji Chisheng in the "dragon bone state" could even smash a solid bronze wall. This old guy is obviously more powerful than his son Genji Chisheng!

"After this mission is over, should we find an opportunity to apologize to the master?" Caesar suggested to Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang shook his head and said in a very serious tone: "I'll go later."

The man on the back of the Corpse Guardian King hammered the giant dragon under his feet into the sand in the sea. After a series of punches, he finally felt tired, jumped off the Corpse Guardian King's back, and slowly walked towards Angers.

"I didn't expect that you would save me in the end." Ange looked at the old man dressed as a ramen chef slowly walking towards him, his expression and tone seemed particularly complicated.

"Of course you'd feel bad about being saved by your former rival, right? I get it, I get it." Uesugi Yue came to Ange's side and patted him on the shoulder. "And he was your former defeated opponent. Being seen in such a miserable state by the person you once defeated, and having your life saved, for a proud man like you, that's the greatest shame in life, right?"

"I shame your sister!" Ange finally couldn't help but burst out, even swearing in the style of Lu Mingfei and Finger. He raised his eyebrows and questioned Uesugi Yue, "Before leaving Tokyo, I called you all the way. Did you answer a single call? Did you answer a single call? I thought you were killed by the tsunami an hour ago while you were sleeping at the ramen stall!"

"Don't you know? My ramen stall hasn't been open for several days." Uesugi Yue raised an eyebrow at Ange, "And you think a tsunami can kill me? Aren't you overestimating your opponent from back then?"

"Then why didn't you answer the phone?" Ange glared at Uesugi Yue fiercely.

"Didn't you say that? There was a tsunami just now." Uesugi Yue pulled out a flip phone from his jacket pocket. "Do you think this thing will still work after being soaked in water?"

Ange looked at the phone in Uesugi Yue's hand, which was still leaking water. After a moment of silence, he could only utter: "Next time, I'll ask the equipment department to give you a waterproof one."

"But seeing you like this really makes me feel relieved." Uesugi Yue put his phone in his pocket and looked at Ange, whose dragon transformation hadn't fully recovered. "Is this your secret party's 'Refined Blood Rage Technique'? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, really scary. If you had used this ability to fight me back then, I would have been defeated even more miserably, right?"

"Using 'Blood Rage' or not doesn't really matter. For a guy like you, if I can defeat you, I can defeat you. If I can't, I'm doomed to fail. I was able to defeat you only because I exploited a loophole in your Word Spirit, and my 'Time Zero' just happened to restrain you." Ange shook his head and said to Uesugi Yue, "I have to admit, in a head-on confrontation, I'm definitely no match for you... To be more precise, you can kill me in an instant."

"I'm afraid no half-blood in this world can rival you, even with the blessing of 'violent blood.' You descendants of the White King are already outliers, and you are the 'Emperor' among the White King's bloodline, an outlier among outliers, a monster among monsters." Ange looked at the corpse guard king struggling in the seawater and sand behind Uesugi Yue, then glanced at Uesugi Yue's bloody but rapidly healing arm. "This is your 'Dragon Bone Mode,' right? If it weren't for the speed of 'Time Zero,' I wouldn't even be able to break your defense in this state."

"But an 'Emperor' cannot fail in his life. If I lose to you once, my spirit will be broken. What's that old Chinese saying?" Uesugi Yue thought for a moment. "Oh, right, if there's Yu, why not Liang?... What's the point of me being the strongest hybrid? I'm still suppressed by an old monster like you!"

"But right now, the crisis I couldn't solve has been solved by you, right? I haven't asked you yet, why did you..." Ange originally wanted to ask why Uesugi Yue came here, but his eyes immediately locked onto Uesugi Yue's back, and his expression changed. "That thing has regained its ability to move, why don't you put an end to it once and for all?"

Ange was referring to the king of the corpse guards who was hammered into the mud by Uesugi Yue. At this time, the dragon-shaped corpse guard had already crawled out of the sea. Uesugi Yue's sudden and violent beating stunned it, and the mental shock to it was greater than the physical damage, but it was obvious that the thing had come to its senses.

"Of course, these things can't be dealt with by fists, and of course I didn't intend to deal with them right away. I just thought it looked cooler this way." Uesugi Yue raised an eyebrow at Ange. "As for these things, you don't have to worry about solving them. You can't care about anything else in your current state, right? You're struggling to even stand... As for these guys, someone else will be responsible for dealing with them."

Uesugi Yue pointed in another direction. Angé looked in the direction of Uesugi Yue's finger, and his pupils shrank... Uesugi Yue pointed at another Shizue King, or to be more precise, at the girl in a red and white shrine maiden costume on the back of another Shizue King.

Incredibly, the Corpse Guardian King remained in a crawling position because it was being firmly suppressed by the girl on its back. An invisible field enveloped the girl and the dragon-shaped Corpse Guardian. Ange couldn't see it, but he could feel the presence of that power... The girl was filled with an extremely dangerous aura.

"This girl is..." Angé's brows gradually frowned.

"Pretty, right? Powerful, right?" Uesugi Yue winked at Ange proudly. He pointed at the girl in the shrine maiden costume, then at himself, "My daughter."

"Your daughter?" Ange's expression became even stranger.

This old guy has been lonely all his life, where did he get a daughter?

Ange subconsciously wondered if this old pervert Uesugi Yue had tricked a young girl who patronized his ramen stall into recognizing him as her godfather.

"Of course, only I, Uesugi Yue, could have given birth to such a beautiful, well-behaved, and strong daughter, right?" Uesugi Yue said complacently. "My daughter is about to unleash her divine power. If you want to admire her heroic presence, you'd better stay at a distance. It's too dangerous to be so close."

Before Ange could react, Uesugi Yue picked him up and ran away from the beach. The corpse guards who blocked his way were kicked to the ground one by one by the old man. These monsters with bared fangs and claws were like kindergarten children who had not yet grown up in front of the ramen master and had no ability to resist.

"You are..." Fuma Kotaro looked at the old man running towards them and was about to ask something when he was interrupted by the old man.

"Don't be so picky, move to the center of the island, it will soon be unsafe here!" Uesugi Yue reminded Fuma Kotaro and others.

There was no need for Uesugi Yue to urge them at all. Caesar and Chu Zihang had already turned around and started running wildly.

Chapter 626: Invincible Eri

Caesar and Chu Zihang had witnessed the power of the girl in the red and white witch costume. It was during the "Jiyuan Plan" that the girl descended from the sky carrying an iceberg and fell into the three thousand meter deep sea. Countless corpse guards were instantly killed in the girl's territory. The tricky corpse guard king suffered heavy damage under the girl's sword, and even the dragon-like Lu Mingfei was suppressed by the girl.

That shocking scene was so unforgettable, with a power beyond comprehension. The girl with the knife looked like both an angel and a devil, and almost became Caesar's nightmare for those days.

This monstrous girl was about to unleash her might, so of course Caesar and Chu Zihang ran. Would they stay where they were and wait for death? Being sucked into that death-like realm was no joke.

After everyone evacuated to a safe place, the girl in the red and white shrine maiden costume drew the cherry-red long sword from her waist... It was not a decorative sword, but a real ancient sword, even infused with ancient alchemical technology. However, the girl did not wear it for the sharpness of the sword or for her superb skills. She really just carried it with her all the time because of the beautiful shape of the sword and it matched her shrine maiden costume. In fact, the girl did not need the assistance of the sword to release the domain. Anything in the domain could be turned into a sharp and deadly weapon by her.

The King of Corpses, who had just been suppressed by Uesugi Yue, completely regained his ability to move. He spread his huge wings angrily and moved his body, as if venting his anger and humiliation from being beaten by Uesugi Yue.

The Corpse Guardian King's tumbling caused huge waves, and the towering waves pushed one after another towards the girl in the shrine maiden costume. Just as the waves were about to drown the girl on the back of the other Corpse Guardian King, the girl suddenly swung out a cherry-red long sword, as if trying to cut through the waves.

Of course, it is nonsense to chop the waves with a knife, but something even more incredible happened before everyone's eyes.

The moment the tip of the cherry-red long sword touched the waves, the sea water was frozen. Starting from the point of contact with the long sword, the ice spread rapidly. In less than half a second, the entire wave was frozen. The wave crest remained still at a strange arc angle in the void above the girl's head. The ten-meter wave crest turned into a ten-meter-high bright blue ice wall.

It wasn't just this wave; all the waves had turned into walls of ice. To be precise, all the sea water west of the Sea Forest Island was frozen. This freezing ability was simply unreasonable, even exceeding the maximum speed of liquid nitrogen freezing.

In a short period of time, the sea on the shore was transformed into an ice plain. On the ice field, icebergs stood like interlaced canine teeth. In addition to the icebergs, there were ice sculptures. In those half-human, half-snake sculptures, countless corpses were frozen... These monsters were frozen without any resistance. They maintained the state they were in before being frozen. Some of them were showing their fangs and claws, as if they were about to attack, and some had fear on their faces, as if they had sensed the coming danger.

At least thousands of corpse guards were sealed in the ice in an instant. They stood still under the icebergs, like clusters of ice growing on the icebergs in the glacier. The sea surface was like a huge, distorted but extremely smooth mirror. The girl in the witch costume stood in the center of the mirror, with a giant sculpture of the King of Corpse Guardians under her feet. Countless icebergs stood with her as the center. On the cliffs of the icebergs, knife-like icicles grew across the ground. The girl's figure was reflected in the crystal clear ice surface. The shadow of the red and white witch costume was reflected in the ice in all directions within a radius of one kilometer. The sea breeze ruffled her dark red hair, and the girl holding a knife looked isolated and independent.

"Who is this girl? What kind of word spirit has such power?" Ange, who was sitting on Uesugi Yue's shoulder, was stunned. After all, in the records of Kassel Academy, no one had ever had such power as the girl showed.

The scene before him had already far surpassed the limit barrier of the hybrid world. This was even more exaggerated than the "Emperor" and was almost a power from another dimension.

"This is the family's 'Tsukuyomi'." Seeing this scene, Sakurai Nanami couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"'Tsukuyomi'?" Ange looked deeply at the girl who displayed a "miraculous" power. "Is she the 'Tsukuyomi' of this generation of the Snake Eight Clan? Her abilities might have surpassed all the 'Tsukuyomi' of all previous generations, right?"

"Tsukuyomi Nobuki" has never been the leader of the Snake Eight Families, "Amaterasu Nobuki" is. In fact, most of the "Tsukuyomi Nobuki" in the Snake Eight Families throughout the generations were girls, and there were even very few strong fighters... However, similar rumors have been circulating within the Snake Eight Families about this generation of "Tsukuyomi Nobuki", but few people know that: "Tsukuyomi Nobuki" is the ultimate hybrid that is more deeply hidden than "Amaterasu Nobuki", is the Snake Eight Families' most conservative trump card, and is also the family's ultimate secret weapon.

There is no other girl in Japan who has such a representative style and such exaggerated abilities... The girl holding a cherry-red long sword and wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume is the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Eight Families, Uesugi Erie.

"This is my daughter's strength. Are you shocked, old man?" Uesugi Yue didn't need to look back at Ange to guess Ange's expression of almost dropping his jaw. "My Word Spirit has flaws, but my daughter's Word Spirit doesn't. 'Word Spirit·Judgment' has no blind spots. Your mysterious 'Time Zero' won't work on her. In this era, your Kassel Academy can no longer suppress the family, right? Now you know that we, the descendants of the White King, are not to be trifled with, huh?"

"'Word Spirit: Judgment'? Number 111 on the Word Spirit Sequence List, an absolutely high-risk Word Spirit." Ange stared intently at the girl in the red and white miko costume, frowning slightly. "The Word Spirit is indeed flawless, but this girl's bloodline..."

"Did you figure it out?" Ange's words made Uesugi Yue's heart tighten.

"Do you think you can't tell? I haven't lived these past 130 years in vain. But seeing how nervous you are, it seems this is really your daughter." Ange turned his head to look at Uesugi Yue. "Don't worry, the ultimate goal is to resurrect the 'God'. I don't have time to care about you high-risk hybrids in Japan right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed that organization called the Oni Clan to survive until now."

"And like you said, I'm no match for her, especially in my current state." Ange shook his head slowly. "I'm an avenger. I might become a madman when necessary, but my madness is based on my hatred for the dragon race. She's not really a dragon yet. If I truly want to defeat you dangerous half-bloods among the White King's descendants, I should wait until the war with the dragon race is won."

Uesugi Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On impulse, he wanted to tell Ange that Eiry's bloodline problem would be solved soon, but he was afraid of exposing Lu Mingfei's plan. At the same time, Uesugi Yue was also afraid that Ange, this stubborn old man, would impulsively eliminate Eiry as a potential enemy of the secret party... Maybe Ange did not have the ability to eliminate Eiry. In fact, Uesugi Yue was more afraid that Eiry would kill Ange on impulse.

One is the strongest dragon slayer in the world, and the other is a hybrid with the strongest spiritual power. Once they face off, even Uesugi Yue will have a headache.

"The 'Tsukuyomi Nomoko' of the Yaki clan... she must be the head of the Uesugi clan who never shows up," Ange said, looking at Eriya. "Uesugi Eriya, the secret party once investigated her information, but her information is very closely guarded by the Yaki clan. We can only hear from some underworld members that the head of the Uesugi clan is a figure more powerful than the modern-day 'Amaterasu Nomoko', Minamoto no Chisei, and is also the secret weapon of the Yaki clan."

"My child is not a weapon." Uesugi Yue said in a tone between seriousness and anger.

"I didn't expect that a man like you, who lacks any sense of family responsibility, could actually be so responsible as a father." Ange shook his head slowly. "You know, this 'weapon' isn't a weapon in the true sense of the word. It's something with a certain strategic significance, just like when you were the supreme leader of the underworld. That title and identity were more symbolic and intimidating."

"This is why I still refuse to forgive my family. They treat anyone who seems useful as a tool. They always prioritize the benefits a person can bring to the family, rather than respecting human rights." Uesugi Yue's eyes gradually darkened. "They treated me like this sixty-two years ago, and now they're treating my son and daughter even worse. I heard from Lu Mingfei about Eri's situation within the family. She's not having a good time there. How dare those unfilial descendants of mine treat my children like this? Once everything is resolved, I'll settle accounts with those bastards... including what happened sixty years ago."

"Lu Mingfei? What did you hear from Lu Mingfei? How do you know Lu Mingfei? It sounds like you two have had contact before?" Ange's brows gradually frowned. "And you mentioned your son and daughter. Uesugi Eryi is your daughter. Now I know... you have a son? Isn't Uesugi Eryi the only one left in the entire Uesugi family? Does she have an older brother or younger brother?"

broken!

You spilled the beans!

Uesugi Yue cursed inwardly. The mention of his family made him angry. Once he was angry, his vigilance dropped and he was only concerned with venting his dissatisfaction with his family. He blurted out the things that Lu Mingfei had asked him to keep secret without thinking.

"Now is not the time to discuss this nonsense. Eri's territory is going to expand. I'll take you to a quieter place." Before Ange could continue to question, Uesugi Yue covered Ange's mouth with a slap and continued to run deeper into the Sea Forest Park, not giving Ange a chance to speak.

As soon as Uesugi Yue finished speaking, a crack appeared in the ice under Eiry's feet. Not only under Eiry's feet, but also at the place where Uesugi Yue first landed, the ice was slowly cracking... It was the two corpse guard kings. As soon as the "Judgment" field was unfolded, it froze the surrounding corpse guards along with the blood in their bodies. The corpse guards affected by the field were all killed, but the corpse guard kings would not be killed so easily. Their dragon-shaped bodies gave them a strong physique and tenacious vitality.

The ice shattered, and the two corpse-guarding kings broke free from the ice. They stretched their huge bodies with all their might, shaking the icebergs... But in the eyes of the girl in the red and white shrine maiden costume, this behavior was tantamount to a provocation.

Eri lightly stepped on the back of the King of the Corpse Guardians and leaped into the air. Her fluffy skirt moved without wind, and she looked like a crimson flower blooming on an iceberg. There was a golden light in Eri's pupils, and she was muttering something. Every character that came out of her mouth was extremely mysterious. It was the ancient and almost incomprehensible dragon script.

Following the low chanting, Eri casually swung the cherry-red long sword in her hand. She clearly did not use much strength, and there was no swordsmanship at all, but this sword showed an extremely terrifying scene... Eri's sword tip pointed directly at the dragon-shaped corpse guard that had been suppressed by Uesugi Yue before. The blade cut through the air, carrying a certain "cutting" will.

This kind of will is irresistible. Following the trajectory of Eri Yi's cut, the air resists transparent fluctuations, as if the sword energy has split the space.

The Corpse Guardian King seemed to sense this sharp and dangerous aura. The moment before being chopped, it twisted wildly and restlessly. Finally, the trajectory of the blade fell on one of its bony wings and hind legs. Straight cracks spread wildly on the Corpse Guardian King's hard body, as if there was a huge, transparent and sharp cutting machine in front of this huge dragon-like creature, which suddenly cut its body open.

The Corpse Guardian King's massive body was bisected by a straight, slanted fracture extending from its chest to its tail. This tenacious monster still hadn't died... but it couldn't recover from such an injury. The Corpse Guardian King had completely lost its ability to attack. It let out a dying wail, and the upper and lower halves of its body twisted separately, like an earthworm being cut in half.

This scene made Ange, who was known as the strongest dragon slayer in the world, tremble with fear. As a senior dragon slayer expert, Ange knew better than anyone that slaying a dragon was probably the most difficult job in the world. This was the meaning of the existence of Kassel Academy, because before slaying a dragon, one needed to have a full understanding of dragons as creatures, and when slaying a dragon, the dragon slayer needed to have an extremely precise grasp of the methods, techniques, strength and other conditions... because compared with dragons, humans are the weaker party.

If the weak want to slaughter the strong, they must risk everything and spare no effort.

But the situation seemed to be completely opposite with this girl. She swung the knife so casually that the body of a corpse guardian who was a pure-blooded dragon in his life was easily cut off... as if these dragon-like creatures were weak species compared to the girl.

Thinking about how he had just awakened "Rage" and activated "Third Blood Rage", and how he had to work hard to exchange injuries for injuries before barely making a dragon-shaped corpse guard lose its ability to move, Angé was rarely ashamed.

Chapter 627 Life and Secrets

After beheading a corpse guardian, Eri's body slowly fell down.

The corpse king at Eiry's feet was howling to the sky, revealing its icy-sharp fangs. But as Eiry's figure gradually descended, the corpse king's proud head lowered little by little. It was clearly just a graceful girl slowly falling, but it was as if a mountain had fallen, pressing this huge monster to death on the ice field.

As the tip of Eiry's clogs gently tapped the back of the Shikigoshi King, the dragon-shaped beast was completely embedded in the ice sea by the terrifying force. The ice cracked into spider-web-like patterns, and the Shikigoshi King's huge body trembled uneasily under Eiry's feet. This creature, which was noble and arrogant in life, now let out a begging wailing sound... But Eiry obviously would not feel pity for such a creature.

Eiry swung her sword expressionlessly, and the cherry-red long sword cut a full arc below her body. A black crack first spread along the back of the corpse guardian, from its head and neck to its tail. The huge fracture was as smooth and flat as if it was cut by a laser cutter. Black blood gushed out from the fracture of the corpse guardian king's body, pouring out like a torrent, but it did not stain Eiry's clothes at all. Eiry's posture was still spotless, and the black blood seemed to automatically avoid her... "Judgment" is such an unreasonable word spirit. Its powerful lethality can almost cause fatal damage to the locked target. Within the scope of the domain, the power possessed by the releaser of "Word Spirit·Judgment" is almost like that of a god!

It was as if it was God's judgment on the world, nailing all the criminals to the pillar of shame, and no resistance or rebuttal was allowed. This knife, with its absolute killing will, completely killed the King of Corpse Guardians at his feet, but the power of this knife was far more than that.

The ice covering the sea area with a radius of one kilometer cracked, and straight cracks spread from west to north, cutting the sea apart. This was absolute power, absolute suppression, second only to those top-secret word spirits in the word spirit sequence list that almost existed in myths... Ange was one of the few people in the world who had witnessed the power of top-secret word spirits with his own eyes. Back then, he was able to survive to this day by relying on the word spirit named "Rhine" of Menech Cassel. That was a power that was enough to perish together with a Dragon King. The "Rhine" that Menech Cassel paid with his life destroyed everything in the Cassel Manor.

And Eri's "Judgment" actually has a power close to that of "Rhine". Ange has never seen such a dragon slaying before. At this moment, he realized that he had really underestimated the descendants of the White King before today. Among these guys, not only did they give birth to an old pervert like Uesugi Yue sixty years ago, but also to this day there are a group of little perverts like Minamoto Chisei, Kazama Ruri and Uesugi Eri... It is no exaggeration to say that if Uesugi Yue's family has the ambition to conquer the world, they are even capable of overthrowing the entire secret party.

Another helicopter was hovering in the sky above the center of Sea Forest Park. The ladder and the huge trigger were slowly lowered, and the person in charge on the helicopter was about to unload the warhead of the refined sulfur bomb to the ground.

Along with the refined sulfur bomb, the director of the Iwayu Research Institute, Shio Miyamoto, who was also the head of the Miyamoto family and was dressed in his signature white coat, landed. Seeing Shio Miyamoto's arrival, Kotaro Fuuma and Nanami Sakurai also hurried over, and Caesar and Chu Zihang also quickly approached the location of the refined sulfur bomb.

"Master Miyamoto." Sakurai Nanami looked at Miyamoto Shio and pointed in the direction of Ange and Uesugi Yue. "Did that man come with you?"

"Yes," Miyamoto Shio nodded. "About ten minutes ago, I was loading the warhead of the newly refined sulfur bomb onto the helicopter's suspension with the people from Ganliu Research Institute when this strange man and the head of the Uesugi family suddenly appeared in front of me."

"Did the head of the Uesugi family and this man appear together?" Fuma Kotaro grasped the key point in Miyamoto Shio's words.

"Yes, I was also confused at the time, but I didn't have time to dwell on it. Seeing the long-missing Uesugi clan leader, I was mostly excited, thinking that the crisis of the Shikamori frenzy was finally resolved." Miyamoto Shio was adjusting the settings of the refined sulfur bomb while answering Fuma Kotaro's question. "The Uesugi clan leader wrote to me in her notebook that she would come to the Sea Forest Park with this man named 'Master Yue'. I believed that the people the Uesugi clan leader trusted were certainly reliable, but at the time, the family only had two helicopters left, both of which were being used to load weapons. So I immediately ordered the researchers at the Ganliu Research Institute to cancel the loading of thermite incendiary bombs and free up one helicopter to bring them here."

"Your decision is quite correct." Caesar patted Miyamoto Shio's shoulder in agreement.

In fact, Caesar didn't like the people in the Ganliu Research Institute very much. Caesar felt that these scientists and the guys in the Equipment Department of Kassel Academy were all the same kind of lunatics with very stubborn brains. But he didn't expect that Miyamoto Shio, the director of the Ganliu Research Institute, was a smart man. If he hadn't agreed to bring Uesugi Yue and Uesugi Eri so decisively, everyone would have faced the crisis of being wiped out given the critical situation on the Sea Forest Island.

And compared with the monster father and daughter, Uesugi Yue and Uesugi Eri, those abandoned thermite incendiary bombs are nothing... The combat power of these two monsters is enough to be equivalent to 10,000 tons of thermite incendiary bombs!

"Master Yue? Master Uesugi said that man's name was Master Yue, right?" Fuma Kotaro looked at Uesugi Yue's back and pondered secretly, "So he is really the same man from sixty years ago? He didn't leave Tokyo? But if it was that man, how could he know Master Uesugi?"

Such doubts inevitably arose in Fuuma Kotaro's mind. The battlefield was too noisy at this time, with the sea breeze and the screams of the corpse guards incessantly. Even if everyone had sensitive hearing, they could not hear the conversation between Ange and Uesugi Yue. So Fuuma Kotaro could not figure out what the relationship was between the underworld supreme leader of the Snake family who defected from the family 62 years ago and disappeared from the world, and the current head of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Erie?

Fuma Kotaro is an old man in the family who watched Eriya grow up. He knows very well what kind of life the girl has lived in the past ten years and what kind of character flaws she has. There are only a handful of people in the family who can gain Uesugi Eriya's trust, but she seems to trust that old man of unknown origin... The only connection between the two that Fuma Kotaro can think of is that they both have the surname "Uesugi". Does this mean that Uesugi Eriya is the descendant of that old man?

"Master Fuma, do you remember anything about this man named Master Yue?" Sakurai Nanami asked Fuma Kotaro.

Fuma Kotaro was silent for a moment and then slowly shook his head. He was not sure. If it was really the same person from that year, given that person's grudge against the family, he didn't know why that person chose to reappear in front of everyone after avoiding the family for so many years. He also didn't dare to speculate what the relationship between that person and the head of the Uesugi family who appeared with him was.

Fuma Kotaro didn't dare to answer Sakurai Nanami's question, but another person who suddenly appeared answered her... After the refined sulfur bomb was completely transported to the ground, a ladder was lowered from the helicopter, and a person who surprised everyone but was expected came down from it.

"Head of the Inuyama family?" Sakurai Nanami looked at the old man wearing a black haori and a sword on his waist in surprise.

The person who came was Inuyama He, the head of the Inuyama family. After parting with Caesar and Chu Zihang from Takama-ga-hara, Inuyama He, Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami took the Yakihachi family's helicopter back to the Genji Heavy Industries Building. Sakurai Nanami was responsible for issuing disaster evacuation and relief orders to the family members, and Fuma Kotaro was responsible for mobilizing the elite ninjas of the Fuma family who could act together. However, Inuyama He told Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami that he had to leave the family temporarily to find reinforcements.

Inuyama He left in a hurry without telling Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami who the so-called "reinforcements" were. However, he told Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami that they should go to support the principal as soon as the time came and they should not wait for him. He would arrive with reinforcements and the helicopter transporting the refined sulfur bomb before Miyamoto Shio left.

It seems that the mysterious man who suddenly appeared on the battlefield and the head of the Uesugi family were the powerful reinforcements that Inuyama He invited.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you all. Master Inuyama also came here with Master Uesugi and Master Yue. He and I took the same helicopter." Miyamoto Shio had been concentrating on setting the delay for the refined sulfur bomb the moment he landed. Suddenly, he looked up at everyone and asked, "Does anyone here have some basic knowledge of electromechanics? I need someone to help me set the fuse."

Caesar's eyes subconsciously fell on Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang also stepped forward and recommended himself: "Let me do it. I majored in mechanics in college."

"So, Master Yue is an acquaintance of yours, Master Inuyama?" Sakurai Nanami's gaze fell on Inuyama He. "Who exactly is that old man?"

Inuyama He's gaze lingered on Uesugi Yue for a long while. Finally, he looked around at the three family heads, Fuma Kotaro, Sakurai Nanami, and Miyamoto Shio, before slowly speaking: "I wonder if anyone in the family still remembers this name... Uesugi Yue."

The moment the name came out of his mouth, Fuma Kotaro sighed secretly. His guess was indeed fulfilled. Sakurai Nanami's face changed after a moment of stunned silence. Even Miyamoto Shio, who was concentrating on refining the sulfur bomb, paused.

Nowadays, few people among the Sheqi Eight Clans have heard of this name, and no one even talks about it, as if the man who once dominated the entire Japanese underworld more than 60 years ago had never existed... Come to think of it, the man's name has been crossed out in the Sheqi Eight Clans' genealogy, and there is no such person on the seat in Valhalla. Almost all the people who were close to that person back then have died, and the rest of the people avoid this name and remain silent.

When all traces of a person in the world are erased and people deliberately forget him, it is the same as if he had never existed in this world in the first place.

But how could the family heads not have heard of the man named "Uesugi Koku"? Sixty-two years earlier, the man who had defected from his position as patriarch of the Sheqi Eight Clan and burned down half of the family's shrine, had vanished from the face of the earth in the intervening years. The Sheqi Eight Clan had sent people to search for him many times, but to no avail. Yet, sixty-two years later, he had reappeared before the world.

Before the families could recover from the shock, Inuyama He dropped another bombshell in his next sentence.
