Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar resounded, and the Fire Cloud Evil God's figure suddenly swelled, instantly transforming into a white ape over ten feet tall, covered in armor, with lightning-fast eyes.

Facing the "Dojigiri Yasutsuna" that was about to strike, the white ape neither dodged nor avoided it, but simply stretched out its large, hairy hand and grabbed it!
"clang!!!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying everywhere!
That legendary weapon, passed down for thousands of years and capable of cutting through iron like mud, was actually caught by this giant ape with its bare hands.

The sharp blade was stuck in its iron-hard palm and could not advance an inch!
"what?!"

Takeshita Yujiro was shocked. He felt an overwhelming force coming from the sword, which made his hands go numb and he almost lost his grip on the long sword.

Before he could react, the giant ape's other hand transformed into a slap, whistling through the air, and slammed hard into his face!

"roll!!!"

Takeshita Yujiro only had time to let out a roar before he was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing heavily into a building in the distance and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The "National Preceptor" stood at the church entrance, like an insurmountable demon god, roaring to the sky, his voice shaking the surrounding area!
"Want to enter this door? First, ask if I'll allow it!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, sending chills down the spines of everyone watching.

Matsumoto, in particular, stared blankly at the white ape in the distance. Just then, the white ape's eyes, which were flashing with lightning, also looked at him.

Without any hesitation, he followed his deepest fear and turned to leave.

As for Takeshita Yujiro, the "naval idiot" still buried in the ruins...

The moment he saw the white ape appear, he knew it was hopeless. This operation had been a complete failure.

The defeat was utterly devastating, and his life might even be in danger if he lingered any longer. He had to return to his headquarters immediately, where heavy guard might offer him a semblance of safety.

The scene just now invigorated everyone at Jianghu Xiaozhan.

Thanks to Zhang Zhiwei's habitual "big mouth," Jianghu Xiaozhan had some understanding of him. The moment the "National Advisor" appeared, the two seasoned spies recognized him as Zhang Zhiwei's inner demon.

Even Zhang Zhiwei's inner demons have been unleashed. If the Japanese pirates don't continue to pour fuel into this battlefield at any cost, the outcome of the battle is almost predictable.

Meanwhile, Takeshita Yujiro, who had been knocked away, rose again from the ruins.

"No one... can stop me!"

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

The "Dojigiri Yasutsuna" in his hand was growing wildly, with crimson flames burning fiercely on the blade, instantly transforming into a giant flaming blade several meters long!

Not only the knife, but his body also expanded rapidly in the flames! His face became ferocious and twisted, his skin turned crimson, two sharp demon horns grew from his forehead, his mouth was full of protruding fangs, and behind him appeared a huge phantom of a demon holding a wine jar and drinking wildly!
He actually used his own blood essence as a catalyst to fully unleash the millennia-old evil energy contained within the sword, transforming himself into the legendary Oni King Shuten-dōji of Mount Ōe.

"Fool, you think you can deal with me now that you've turned into this? You've forgotten, this thing was killed by Big Face Thief. If Big Face Thief can kill it, so can I."

The "Imperial Advisor" grinned widely and burst into wild laughter.

Meanwhile, Takeshita Yujiro, who was opposite him, raised his flaming longsword high and roared as he charged forward.

He unleashed unimaginable speed, the air vibrating violently as his massive body compressed him, and even fiery red sonic cones appeared behind him. He actually broke the sound barrier with his bare body!
Faced with such an opponent, the "National Advisor" also took action.

Its body also grew rapidly, its silver armor became thicker and more magnificent, and with a whistle, the hair in its hand transformed into a lightning-fast staff resembling a golden cudgel.

Its eyes were like two searchlights, shooting out silver lightning that could penetrate everything. It wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes. It was exactly like the Monkey King who had stepped out of mythology!

The "National Preceptor" was bathed in lightning. In front of it, Shuten-dōji, who was transformed from Takeshita Yujirō, seemed to be all bark and no bite, as if a demon or monster had met a true god of heaven!
The two collided violently in mid-air!
"Boom!!!"

The moment the two forces made contact, a thunderous sonic boom erupted. The two enormous figures, like two ferocious dragons, one red and one silver, were locked in a frenzied battle.

During the battle, even though Takeshita Yujiro had pushed the power of "Dojigiri Yasutsuna" to its limit, each swing of his sword could ignite a sea of ​​fire in the anime world.

Yujiro Takeshita slashed wildly, each strike sending red sparks flying and silver lightning flashing. Relying on the power of his magical weapon, the golden cudgel formed from lightning in the hands of the "National Preceptor" crumbled inch by inch.

Seeing that he had shattered the "National Advisor's" golden cudgel, Takeshita Yujiro laughed wildly and raised his sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the "National Advisor".

But at that moment, the "Imperial Advisor" did not retreat but advanced, suddenly reaching out a large, hairy hand and grabbing the giant blade burning with flames, remaining motionless despite the scorching flames.

Immediately afterwards, he spread his other hand into a palm, laughed wildly, and slapped it hard on Takeshita Yujiro's forehead!
"Snapped!"

The slap made a thunderous sound, and Takeshita Yujiro was jolted to his feet. The ground beneath his feet exploded, sending rocks flying and creating huge waves of earth and stone.

Takeshita Yujiro's lower body was actually slammed into the ground!
He convulsed, roared, and trembled, raising his head in resentment, wishing he could grind his teeth to dust.

He was a naval admiral and the top master of the Shinto Munen-ryu school, yet he has fallen to this state without even seeing the young celestial master.

He was unwilling to accept defeat! He was unwilling to accept defeat like this! He was still desperately gathering every bit of strength he could muster, trying to struggle to stand up.

But it was in vain.

The palm of the "Imperial Advisor" placed on his head contained an extremely powerful lightning storm.

He pressed down on Takeshita Yujiro's hand, which transformed into a hand blade crackling with bright lightning, and began to press down slowly and irresistibly.

"Zizzizi!"

His hand was like an indestructible divine sword, seemingly without any effort, easily breaking through Takeshita Yujiro's protective aura and slicing down right down the middle of his head!

Like cutting through a block of tofu, that palm strike sliced ​​through his skull, cut through his brain, and then continued downwards, cutting through his neck and into his chest!

This scene left the foreign directors of the Municipal Council and the spies from the Jianghu Inn in the distance speechless with astonishment, almost unable to believe their eyes. "Oh! My God! What kind of power is that?!"

A foreign director collapsed to the ground, his binoculars falling from his hand and shattering into pieces. His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg: "That Japanese general... the monster he turned into, was sliced ​​open like butter?!"

"Too...too brutal, too powerful! Is this the Little Celestial Master's inner demon? I was worried when the golden cudgel was shattered, but I never expected that he was just toying with that Japanese pirate general." The scout from the Jianghu Inn trembled all over, unable to even hold his pen.

Despite being split open from head to toe by the "National Master's" palm strike, Takeshita Yujiro didn't even utter a single cry of pain.

It wasn't because he was some kind of tough guy, but because the "national advisor's" scalpel instantly severed his brain, both sides, his throat, his trachea, and his vocal cords...

Yujiro Takeshita, enveloped by the immense power of "Dojigiri Yasutsuna," was not quite dead yet, but he was no longer able to think or move.

The "Imperial Advisor" remained expressionless as he continued his downward strike, splitting the man's heart in two.

Then, he slowly pulled his hand out, and the blood on his hot hand bubbled and made a "sizzling" sound.

The flames on Takeshita Yujiro's body went out, and his huge body suddenly shrank back to the original appearance of a gaunt old man, before collapsing helplessly to the ground.

His body was shaped like a bizarre "X". The lower half of the "X" was his spread legs, and the upper half was his upper body, which had been cut open from head to toe and rolled up to both sides.

Having dealt with this opponent, the "Imperial Advisor" reached out and picked up the weapon named "Dojigiri Yasutsuna." This sword had been forged for a thousand years, and its strength far surpassed that of ordinary magical artifacts; even he would find it difficult to destroy it in a short time.

Of course, he didn't intend to destroy it. Killing the Japanese pirates would suffice; if their swords were useful, keeping them to kill them would be excellent.

He casually tossed the "child cutter" into the church.

At this moment, members of the protection team stepped forward and paid their respects to the "vice leader" with devout expressions.

"You guys did a great job!"

The "Imperial Preceptor" rarely praised the members of the protection team: "Now, I'll take care of this."

Having said that, the "Imperial Advisor" made his move. In truth, the remaining remnants of the defeated army could have been easily dealt with using his lightning transformation; there was no need for him to intervene. He was simply driven by a murderous intent and wanted some amusement.

The Lightning Incarnation's only ability is lightning, but the "National Preceptor" is the manifestation of Zhang Zhiwei's inner demons, and his abilities are much more diverse and bizarre.

A large amount of black mist surged from his body and quickly spread outwards.

The few surviving Japanese pirates were shrouded in black mist and their lives were instantly taken.

But the "Imperial Preceptor" was still not satisfied, and the black mist continued to spread, even surging out of the Tiantong Diocese.

At this time, there were still some Japanese pirates outside, especially members of the Special Higher Police. Although they did not directly enter the Tiantong Diocese, they were observing in secret, ready to strike or retreat at any time.

Upon witnessing Takeshita Yujiro's death, they intended to leave immediately, but it was too late; they had been targeted by the "National Advisor."

The black fog rolled in like a tide, and they screamed and scattered in all directions.

Some people tried to deal with the black mist, but it was no use.

Once they come into contact with the black mist, their minds are instantly affected, and all sorts of terrifying illusions arise in their minds, making them unable to distinguish between what is real and what is fake.

Many Japanese pirates went mad and began killing each other, causing chaos in the streets and endless screams.

This is also one of the "Imperial Advisor's" abilities, an ability he rarely uses.

The "National Preceptor" is essentially a demon in his heart. Although he has transcended the realm of ordinary demons after his last enlightenment, he still possesses the fundamental abilities of a demon.

The Three Demons Sect can materialize three corpses and then use them to influence others. The essence of inner demons and the three corpses is very similar.

However, this ability was completely useless in front of Zhang Zhiwei, so the "National Preceptor" basically did not use it.

As for anyone other than Zhang Zhiwei, the "Imperial Advisor" usually doesn't bother using him. Although he can't beat Zhang Zhiwei, as Zhang Zhiwei's inner demon, there are actually very few people in the world who can defeat him.

Soon, the battle in the Tiantong Diocese came to a complete end. The Japanese pirates, who had been lying in wait in the shadows, did not add fuel to the fire on the battlefield again.

Because they didn't see any opportunity; all they saw was endless danger.

Given the current situation, no one can say for sure how many tricks that young Taoist priest has up his sleeve. What if their side from Japan attacks and falls into the young Taoist priest's trap of "luring the enemy into a jar and catching them like turtles in a jar"?

To reiterate, the Japanese pirates are extremely meticulous, even rigid. The current situation has completely spiraled out of their control, and they are at a loss for what to do.

At this point, unless someone dares to step forward, whether it's a superior ruling over subordinates or a subordinate overthrowing superiors, as long as someone takes the lead, even if it means risking their lives, they might impulsively follow suit.

But no one stepped forward. Even the Shinto High Priest, who was observing from the shadows, chose to remain silent at this moment.

He dared not engage in a final battle with the extraordinary beings of Shenzhou in this place.

After all, he couldn't say for sure whether his opponent was just the Little Celestial Master, or whether all the top supernatural beings in the entire land had laid an ambush here.
Currently, the overall battlefield situation is that their side is advancing rapidly, while the Shenzhou side is suffering repeated defeats. Under this background, there is absolutely no need for them to fight such a risky battle with an uncertain outcome.

They have already lost many masters. Kazuo Funakoshi, the god of karate, and Admiral Yujiro Takeshita were both killed by that white-haired monkey.

They need to cut their losses. Since they can't turn the tide in simple battles against superhumans, they'll try to regain their footing through large-scale army operations.

The Japanese naval attack on the Tiantong Church ended in a disastrous defeat, leaving behind thousands of corpses and the loss of two generals.

However, the battle was far from over. Previously, the attention of the Japanese pirates and the strange people was completely drawn to the Tian Tong Church, while Ah Xing charged into the building of Tian Dao Tuo Ri not far from the parish, where he was still engaged in fierce fighting.

At the same time, the battle between the large legions also entered a fierce stage.

The local Shanghai garrison, seeing that the enemy navy was launching a major attack on the Tiantong Church and thus diverting their forces, seized the opportunity to engage the Japanese pirates in fierce combat. (End of Chapter)
