Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

As Onmyoji, none of the people present were ordinary individuals.

They would never dismiss this intuition as a coincidence.

Even if it's a coincidence, how could everyone have the same thought at the same time?

"Something's not right. There might be an ambush. We'd better retreat."

Before Yamamoto Kojiro could finish speaking, he turned and ran down the mountain, but it was too late.

"Alright, you can detonate it now," Lin Beichen instructed Yu Feng.

He deliberately gave this opportunity to Yu Feng, wanting him to gain more experience. Yu Feng certainly didn't disappoint Lin Beichen; the detonation went smoothly without the slightest hesitation. Facing these Onmyoji from the Sakura Kingdom, he showed absolutely no mercy. The image of the mutilated corpses on Longhu Mountain flashed through his mind—those old Taoist priests were killed by this group of Onmyoji.

This is simply the cycle of cause and effect; retribution is inevitable.

However, with a deafening roar, the earth shook violently, and Yu Feng's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen gently shook his head and comforted him, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. These people deserve what they got. Getting rid of them will save more people."

He subconsciously thought that Yu Feng was under too much psychological burden.

But Lin Beichen was simply overthinking it.

How could Yu Feng possibly feel pressured by the death of a Japanese citizen?
His hands trembled, entirely from excitement—he had never accomplished anything so momentous. In the past, Lin Beichen had always taken the lead, with Yu Feng merely assisting. But this time, he was finally on his own. How could this not fill him with overwhelming emotion?
"Hahaha--"

Yu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter carried a hint of teasing as he acknowledged Lin Beichen's underestimation of him.

"I'm not feeling guilty, I'm just too excited."

"This trembling isn't from fear, it's from excitement!"

Yu Feng reiterated this point.

He wanted Lin Beichen to understand that he was by no means an indecisive person.

In fact, Yu Feng never showed mercy to his enemies.

This is why the two were able to fight side by side and share life and death on many occasions.

If Yu Feng had felt pity for the enemy and made such a foolish mistake, he would have died on the mission long ago. This is a fundamental error that should never be made. After hearing Yu Feng's explanation, Lin Beichen smiled with relief.

I secretly sighed in my heart:

“I underestimated him; he really wouldn’t make that kind of mistake.”

at the same time.

The Onmyoji on the mountain path of Mount Fuji suffered heavy casualties.

Painful wails and shrill screams rose and fell.

There were survivors in such a violent explosion.

Even those who miraculously survived were critically injured and in critical condition. Without timely medical treatment, they likely wouldn't last much longer. These survivors were disoriented and completely unaware of what had happened.

Why did such a horrific explosion occur? It was clearly an ambush.

They had actually guessed that the explosion was related to the dragon vein, but it was too late for them to realize it. Their foresight couldn't change their inevitable fate. Lin Beichen and Yu Feng didn't immediately appear, fearing a secondary collapse of the mountain.

Wait about fifteen minutes.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng exchanged a glance and decided not to linger.

The ground was littered with mangled corpses, but the two men showed no pity in the face of such a horrific scene. These people might be pitiful, but they certainly didn't deserve sympathy.

"Damn it...you actually blew up the mountain to destroy the dragon vein!" Yamamoto Kojiro immediately realized that the two young men with Asian features were responsible for everything. He was shocked by their youth—he had thought the mastermind was at least middle-aged.

After all, in this industry, age often represents ability.

Who would have thought that these veterans would be outsmarted by two young men?

Yamamoto Kojiro was filled with resentment, but it was too late to change anything.

It's a failure, all over. The legacy of the Onmyoji will likely be lost in their generation. This is what he finds most unbearable; now all he has left is the strength to curse.

"You young people... you have no martial ethics, haha."

"It's a pity that the lineage of my Onmyoji has been severed. Heaven is blind, and the heavens are unjust!"

Yamamoto Kojiro wailed.

Another survivor happened to be lying next to him.

Half of the man's body was blown apart, and he was only clinging to life by his last breath.

Upon seeing Lin Beichen and Yu Feng, instead of harboring resentment, he pleaded, "Save me...please save me! I don't want to die, please take me to the hospital..."

That's utterly absurd.

They don't even consider the positions of both sides.

“I never expected there to be someone as shameless as you,” Yu Feng said coldly. “Don’t you know who bombed you like this? Expecting us to take you to the hospital? That’s utterly ridiculous.”

Yu Feng stared at the other person with the look one would give a fool.

His gaze held three parts mockery, three parts contempt, and four parts utter indifference. At this moment, he had complete control of the situation, the mission was successfully completed, and he could leave at any time.

The dragon vein of Mount Fuji has been completely destroyed.

It would take at least fifty or sixty years to re-establish the dragon vein's energy.

At present, these Onmyoji are either dead or injured. Those present are all elites of the Onmyoji lineage. If they all perish, the Onmyoji tradition in Japan will suffer a serious break.

As Yamamoto Kojiro said,

This will be a heavy blow to the Onmyoji lineage of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Don't be so arrogant," Lin Beichen said calmly, looking at Yamamoto Kojiro. "The lineage of Yin-Yang Dao will not be severed because of the decline of your Sakura Country. Within my China, the authentic Yin-Yang Dao tradition has been passed down since ancient times."

"The principles of Yin and Yang originated from the land of China."

Before he finished speaking, he swiftly drew his dagger and plunged it precisely into the man's throat. This single blow ended Yamamoto Kojiro's life. He then swiftly dealt with the remaining survivors, and in the blink of an eye, only one person remained, clinging to life.

It was the guy who had just begged Yu Feng for mercy.

"Please, spare my life! I can still provide important information!" he pleaded, but his voice grew weaker and weaker.

Judging from this situation,

Even if Lin Beichen and Yu Feng don't make a move,
He can't hold on for long; at most, he can last another fifteen minutes.

Perhaps knowing his days were numbered, his pleading expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he cursed the two men viciously, "I curse you to a terrible death! For doing such a thing, you won't leave Sakura Country alive! I'll be waiting for you in hell, and I will never let you go!"

This curse had no effect on Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

They don't buy into that at all.

Moreover, such a baseless curse wouldn't frighten a Taoist master like Lin Beichen at all. If curses were truly effective, the world would have been in chaos long ago. It was merely the resentment of a dying man, and neither of them took it to heart.

After cleaning up the scene, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng decided to leave immediately.

It is not advisable to stay in the land of cherry blossoms for long; if we stay any longer, we will inevitably face a large-scale siege.

Previously, the Japanese government had not paid much attention to this matter.

That's why Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were able to succeed so easily. But now that such a commotion has occurred, even if the higher-ups in Japan are slow to react, they won't let them continue. Time is the most precious thing now. Fortunately, they were prepared and had already arranged an escape route with the tavern owner.

The tavern owner had already booked boat tickets for the two of them.

Under his cover, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng successfully boarded the passenger ship. Watching the tavern owner wave goodbye, Lin Beichen smiled broadly and said loudly, "Let's cooperate again next time!"

The tavern owner responded with a smile:

"Just to my liking."

This collaboration can be described as a win-win situation.

The reason why Lin Beichen trusted the tavern owner so much was...

It was because she knew he was a profit-driven person.

To ensure the tavern owner remained firmly on their side this time...

Lin Beichen paid a hefty price. However, he ultimately recouped all that money from the Onmyoji, so he not only didn't lose money on this mission, but also obtained quite a few secret treasures from them.

These things might be useless to him.

However, it can be resold to people of the Yin-Yang School in China.

That way, I can make another profit.

Of course, money isn't the point.

Lin Beichen mainly wanted to help Yin Yang Dao complete its lineage.

After all, both the Onmyoji of Japan and the Yin-Yang Dao of China have experienced a break in their transmission over thousands of years, and now is the perfect time to make up for it.

Besides several secret treasures, Lin Beichen also acquired a large number of ancient books.

These were not ordinary techniques; they were the supreme classics of Onmyoji. With these, he believed that the Onmyoji would not remain indifferent. In this way, both sides would get what they needed! He also believed that the vast Onmyoji sect would not lack funds.

three days later.

Lin Beichen and his companion have successfully returned to China.

Yu Feng went home to rest for the time being, while Lin Beichen set off for the Yin-Yang Path.

Yu Feng had just stepped into his home when he ran into Yu Tian, ​​who was home resting.

Yu Tian never expected to see Yu Feng today, and even more coincidentally, today was the day he was supposed to finish his mission and go home to rest. The various strongholds that Japan had planted within China have now been largely wiped out. To completely eradicate these strongholds, China deployed a large number of personnel, uprooting all the locations almost simultaneously. Because the operation was so swift, Japan has yet to receive any news of the strongholds being destroyed.

Judging from the current situation, it will be quite a long time before Japan learns of this bad news.

If they don't send new spies to investigate, it might take several months before they notice anything unusual. Several days of intense operations had left Yu Tian exhausted. He had planned to go home and rest, but unexpectedly ran into Yu Feng.

Shouldn't Yu Feng be on a mission in Japan?

Why did he come back so quickly? Could it be that the mission was already completed, and Lin Beichen and his younger brother destroyed the dragon vein of the Sakura Kingdom? Or... did he desert his post?

Yu Feng could clearly sense the suspicion in Yu Tian's eyes.

Faced with this situation, Yu Feng felt helpless.

Am I really that unreliable?
The feelings eventually faded; what happened to the most basic trust between people?

"What a coincidence! You look great, it's only been a few days."

Yu Feng was the first to break the silence.

Hearing this, Yu Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked:

"Weren't you supposed to go to Japan with Lin Beichen?"

"Could it be that he ran back halfway, leaving Lin Beichen to act alone over there?"

Yu Tian's tone carried a hint of reproach.

It seemed they had already decided that Yu Feng was a coward who deserted his post, which left Yu Feng even more speechless.

Faced with his good friend's distrust, he frowned and said with great displeasure, "Do I look like the kind of person who would do such a thing? Where did you hear that I betrayed Brother Lin Beichen? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! If I, Yu Feng, did such a thing, may I be struck by lightning!"

May he die a horrible death!

The originally sunny weather suddenly changed.

Dark clouds drifted in from nowhere, and the sky darkened instantly.

The change in weather made Yu Feng's expression even more unpleasant.

He felt that even God was against him.

I was just making a casual vow.
Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss? Besides, I was just telling the truth.

These days, does nobody believe the truth anymore? Thinking of this, he felt even more helpless and thought to himself, "If you're so capable, then really kill me. I don't believe it's such a coincidence."

The thought had barely crossed my mind when...
The next second, a deafening roar of thunder shook the heavens.

A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting a century-old peach tree next to Yu Feng.

The tree was split in two on the spot, a sight that greatly frightened Yu Feng.

Yu Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded. This was too illogical.

Something seems wrong.

He had already come to believe that Yu Feng wasn't that kind of person.

Even though he had some doubts before, he believed Yu Feng after he swore a solemn oath.

My good brother would never easily make such a vow.

But what's going on with this celestial phenomenon? Could it be that my good brother was really lying and is now getting his comeuppance? Or is it just a coincidence, a rare lightning strike?

Of course, this matter is not as simple as a coincidence.

Before parting ways with Yu Feng, Lin Beichen had specifically reminded him:
"It would be best to rest at home for a while, as your luck may not be very good recently." At the time, Yu Feng didn't take these words to heart and didn't pay any attention to them.

Only now did he understand the deeper meaning of Lin Beichen's words.

This is indeed the case.

Back on Mount Fuji, Lin Beichen assigned Yu Feng the final detonation mission not just to train him, but also to have him bear some of the backlash. At the time, Lin Beichen jokingly remarked that Yu Feng's birth chart was strong enough to withstand the backlash. Yu Feng dismissed it, thinking that pressing a button wouldn't cause any major problems.

Nothing unexpected happened at the time.

But now this has happened.

All the previous scenes flashed through his mind at this moment.

Yu Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Brother Lin Beichen, you've really messed with me! How can you play like this? Even with my strong destiny, I can't withstand this kind of torment."

Yu Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something as well, and subconsciously took a half step back. Although he felt that this was not appropriate, he still did not dare to get too close to Yu Feng.

"I hope Yu Feng will be safe and sound. I have important matters to attend to and am not suitable to bear this backlash. It is the most appropriate choice for him to bear it."

Lin Beichen was on his way to the Yin-Yang Path.

Unlike Yu Feng, he had many important matters to attend to.

Therefore, the only option was to let Yu Feng bear the backlash, although it was indeed not a very kind thing to do.

In fact, Lin Beichen had already explained the pros and cons to Yu Feng before taking action. But Yu Feng took it as a joke and didn't believe these mysterious explanations at all.

Lin Beichen had precisely identified this point, which is why he explained things in such great detail.

It has to be said that his actions were indeed somewhat unfair.
