Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 589 Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple

It hurts. Over and over again.

Inuyama He couldn't help but think of something that happened a long time ago.

He always resisted recalling that era. But memory is annoying, it always takes people back to the past that they don't want to go back to, back to the past that they don't want others to peek into.

Ange, wearing the white uniform of a US Navy officer, stood at the door of an abandoned school classroom, with light and shadows shining in from outside;
Ange glanced at the tattoo on his arm and said calmly: "Child of the Inuyama family? Go back and tell your parents that my name is Ange, Hilbert Jean Ange, a mixed-race from the United States. You can choose peace or dignity."
Ange swung his bamboo sword and knocked him to the ground, then pounced on him again and again, but in Ange's eyes he was always just a puppy with incomplete teeth.

Now that so many years have passed, the images in his memory are still clear and profound. Every day and night, he went to sleep with respect or fear for Ange, honing his words and training his swordsmanship. He practiced the simplest yet difficult sword-drawing slash one by one.

It was easy to swing the sword, but it was impossible to hit Ange with it. Therefore, Inuyama He could only practice day after day, just wanting to swing the sword as fast as possible! Let his words break through the shackles of bloodline and reach or even surpass the speed of Ange's mentor "Silver Wing Charlotte"!

He had honed his skills for decades and thought he was now strong enough to fight Angers, but today his sword was cut off by a student from Kassel Academy. For ancient Japanese samurai, the sword was their life, and a broken sword meant the end of their life as a samurai.

Although this knife did not reach his limit, he had already reached the sixth level and definitely showed no mercy to Lu Mingfei. The higher seventh and eighth levels were prepared for Ange, but now it seemed that he did not even have the qualifications to stand in front of Ange.

In fact, Inuyama He was wrong about one thing. Kassel Academy was indeed a gathering place for lunatics or gamblers. Whether it was Caesar or Chu Zihang, in this gambling game surrounded by thousands of troops, even if they had no confidence, they would probably try to chop down on Inuyama He.

But Lu Mingfei is not a madman like Chu Zihang. Besides, he still has so many family members... so he has to cherish his life even more! The reason why he was able to accurately cut off Inuyama He's knife was because he saw the "eye" on "Onimaru Kuninaga".

There is nothing truly perfect in the world, and everything has its weaknesses. The secret lies in where to hit and how to use force, and you must use the most delicate force to hit the most vulnerable place.

In Chinese martial arts, this kind of weakness is called "eye" or "hole". Rock has its own eye, and steel has its own eye. Pour the power into the eye like water, and guide the "ghostly" stress. The result of the stress concentration is that the entire target will shatter, or even turn into powder in an instant.

Xia Mi had used the "Eye" to easily destroy the South Railway Station and the "Snake in the Courtyard" roller coaster. Through the relationship between him and Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei seemed to have acquired this ability, so he was able to accurately cut off Inuyama He's knife.

Although his strike was somewhat lucky, even if the strike missed, Inuyama He's "Onimaru Kunitsuna" would have found it difficult to penetrate the area of ​​​​Kigaki that had already spread out around him.

This is also Lu Mingfei's greatest growth so far. He is no longer careless and methodless as before. He has his own full considerations before doing everything.

"Master Inuyama."

Lu Mingfei threw "Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada" back to Inuyama He: "You lost. I hope you can keep your promise and take the people of the Inuyama family away from here."

"Inuyama-kun!"

Ryoma Genichirō shouted angrily. This was the first time today that he addressed the other person as Inuyama-kun instead of the head of the Inuyama family. "This is not some child's play of the world's number one martial arts tournament. Eri's matter concerns the interests of the family. Please consider the overall situation!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Inuyama He had not really lost. His sword had just been cut off, and he was still fully capable of fighting.

Lu Mingfei himself knew that Yanling·Haiyuan could not stop Setsuna's acceleration. If this was a fight to the death, with Yanling·Setsuna's proud acceleration ability and richer combat experience, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to defeat Inuyama He head-on.

But Inuyama He did not say anything. He usually always greeted people with a smile, but at this moment he looked expressionlessly at the broken "Onimaru Kunitsuna" in his hand and the broken "Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada" with a broken sword, as if he was in deep thought.

For him, this was not just a loss in a duel, but a loss of faith. He had spent decades honing his spirit, but Lu Mingfei cut it off in one day. No one knew how long it would take for him to muster the courage to face Angers again.

Staring at the silent Inuyama He, Ryoma Genichirō's face also turned ugly. Although he was the head of the Snake Eight Families, he was much younger than Inuyama He and Fuma Kotaro, and could not understand the so-called "righteousness" and "spirit" of these older generation of family heads.

In his opinion, these words were too hypocritical and meaningless. The troops of the eight families had already successfully surrounded the opponent, which was a sure win. Why should they give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it for some imaginary reasons?

"No need to say more, Master Longma."

Inuyama He silently put away his sword: "If I lose, I lose. There is no need to explain. The Inuyama family has never been a low-level underworld family. Since I said before that I would take the Inuyama family away if I lose, now that I lose, I will fulfill my promise."

"The head of the family..."

"I will take the blame myself," said Inuyama He.

At this point, Ryoma Genichirō knew that Inuyama He had made up his mind, and nothing he said could change his mind. He could only watch as Inuyama He turned around and the red demon flag representing the Inuyama family fluttered in the wind and flew away.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Miyamoto Shio beside him.

Among the eight family heads, Tachibana Masamune, Inuyama Ka and Fuma Kotaro are all the older generation of family heads, and he and Miyamoto Shio are both younger generations. Originally, Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama Ka were the leaders today, and he and Miyamoto were just assistants. Inuyama is recognized as one of the top three in combat power among the eight family heads. Perhaps the only ones stronger than him in the family are Minamoto Chisei and Eri, who are emperors.

But now Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He have withdrawn from today's siege. Not only will their fighting power be reduced, but members of other families may also be shaken by the withdrawal of the Inuyama family...

"Are you retreating? Master Longma?"

Miyamoto Shio turned around at some point and met Ryoma Genichirō's eyes. "You hesitated? You're worried that after the Fuuma family leader and the Inuyama family leader retreated one after another, the two of us would not be his match."

Ryoma Genichirō was stunned for a moment, and Miyamoto Shio told him what was on his mind at the moment. It was not the other members who were shaken, but he himself was the first to waver.

"You are the head of the Sheqi Eight Clan, you should not have the idea of ​​retreating."

Miyamoto Shio said sternly: "Don't mention that there are elite members of the family standing behind us. Even if we are alone, we should not retreat in the face of the enemy. The enemy will only despise us when they see us retreating!"

Lu Mingfei, who was not far away, was watching the conversation between Miyamoto Shio and Ryoma Genichirō, and thought to himself, "Master Miyamoto, don't be so stubborn. You have to ask me first to know whether you despise me or not!"
If you want to retreat, I will definitely not despise you. Not only will I support you with both hands and feet! I will also praise you as heroes... because heroes are those who know the times.

"Patriarch Miyamoto is right. Let the other families retreat. The Sheqi Eight Families are a family that crawled out of hell. We don't have to be afraid of the enemy, let alone panic!"

The sound came from the sky, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously raised his head. A strong wind came down from the sky, and a transport helicopter, which was far different from the light helicopters around, rose from the clouds and hovered above the cross-sea bridge. Yuan Zhisheng stood by the helicopter's cabin door with one hand on the double swords at his waist.

His voice was still clear amidst the roar of the helicopter's propellers. There seemed to be a loud burst of cheers from the crowd. When the morale of the Eight Snake Families was almost broken, Yuan Zhisheng, who was recognized as the strongest fighting force of the family, finally arrived. It was indeed worth cheering and celebrating... Although if Finkel saw this scene, he would only complain that Yuan Zhisheng's appearance was really childish.

But Yuan Zhisheng didn't pay attention to the voices behind him. He glanced at the white Accord sedan behind Lu Mingfei, and then his gaze fell back on Lu Mingfei, meeting Lu Mingfei's gaze from a distance.

"Sakura?" A few seconds later, Gen Chisei's cold voice came, with a hint of doubt at the end, indicating that it was a question.

What is this situation called... A flood washed away the Dragon King Temple? My brother-in-law and my brother-in-law started fighting.

This was probably the first time he had faced Minamoto no Chisei directly since his rebirth. When he was at Genji Heavy Industries, he wore a "Claude" mask, and his identity was unknown.

Lu Mingfei looked at Yuan Zhisheng and immediately remembered the note that Eri left before she ran away from home.

"Are you talking about the name on Eri's note?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes."

"That's probably me."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "I remember where I saw you before. I met you at the immigration hall of Narita Airport when I invited Professor Mans from your school to visit our branch."

Lu Mingfei was surprised that Yuan Zhisheng had such a good memory. He and Yuan Zhisheng had just passed each other at that time, but Yuan Zhisheng could still remember him.

"I didn't know you were also from Kassel College at the time. If I had known, I would have invited you to visit our family."

"You gangsters like to call kidnapping "invitation," right?" Lu Mingfei said.

"The way we invited you may be a little aggressive. But for friends, we always treat them with courtesy."

Yuan Zhisheng said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Professor Guderian of your institute in person."

"?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Yuan Zhisheng making room for the helicopter cabin door, and then a familiar burly old man with gray hair was pushed out with his arms tied behind his back.

The old man in pajamas and a night cap on his head, his face was obviously grimacing because of the pain, but for some reason it looked a bit funny, and people subconsciously thought of the image of the classic comedy character Mr. Bean. It was in contrast to the ferocious faces of the crow and Yaksha behind him.

"It hurts! Can't you gangsters be a little gentler when dealing with intellectuals?"

The old man bared his teeth and complained to the Yaksha behind him. Really, didn't you hear your boss say that I was your VIP! Who else would pull someone out of the room when they were taking a shower? Even if you don't consider that I'm a scholar, you should consider that I'm old! I haven't even rinsed the shampoo out of my hair! Are all gangsters so barbaric?

However, when he looked outside the helicopter the next moment and saw Lu Mingfei's figure on the bridge, his eyes, which had been grimacing, immediately lit up with surprise.

"Ming Fei! Long time no see." Professor Guderian greeted.

This enthusiastic greeting made Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng pause at the same time. They couldn't help but doubt each other. They didn't know whether the other party didn't understand the current tense atmosphere or whether there was something wrong with their way of opening the conversation.

If his hands were not still held behind his back by Crow and Yaksha, Lu Mingfei felt that Professor Guderian might want to give him a hug.

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether he should say hello or what to do.

No, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about these things.

Lu Mingfei looked at Professor Guderian on the helicopter... The other party had gone to great lengths to kidnap Professor Guderian, obviously not to have Professor Guderian reminisce and chat with him.

The other party's intentions are already very clear...

Lu Mingfei frowned: "You said that the eight Sheqi families treat their friends with courtesy. Is this your courtesy?"

"Same here, didn't you do the same thing?" Yuan Zhisheng said lightly.

"What do you want to do?"

"In exchange. You return Eri to me, and I release Professor Guderian and Professor Mance. I have always been a fair person."

"It's fair." Lu Mingfei said, "But you got one thing wrong. I didn't abduct Eri. She followed me voluntarily."

Yuan Zhisheng sneered: "Do you think it's fun to deceive a simple girl?"

Lu Mingfei knew that in Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, he was probably the same as a perverted uncle, a pervert who seduced innocent young girls. To be honest, Lu Mingfei felt that Xianggui might be a bit of a sister complex. He heard that Yuan Zhinv liked to wear women's clothes when she was a child, and Yuan Zhisheng's sister complex was probably related to Yuan Zhinv.

"But even if I don't hand over Eri, you don't seem to have any other options, right? The academy's negotiation team will arrive in Tokyo tonight. I can fight you until the evening. Time is on our side." Lu Mingfei said.

At this time, Professor Guderian suddenly straightened his back with a resolute expression: "Ming Fei, don't worry about my safety. The more they capture me to threaten you, the more it proves that you are doing the right thing! I smile at the sky with my sword, and my loyalty will remain in Kunlun. Just do your thing with peace of mind!"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but want to hold his forehead, thinking to himself, Professor, could you please stop talking nonsense at this time... Tan Sitong died heroically after reciting these two lines of poetry.
