My Anime Girlfriends

"Okay!" Seeing Dong Tian agree, Mai Shiranui immediately nodded happily.

…………………………Half an hour later

Wearing a yukata, Mai Shiranui sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Dong Tian to take a bath. Hearing the rustling sounds of him getting dressed coming from the bathroom, Mai felt her heart race and a sense of panic wash over her. Looking at the pink-glowing bedside lamp, Mai couldn't help but recall her wedding night, the image of her writhing and yielding beneath Dong Tian, ​​and the intoxicating sensations that washed over her again, making her face flush red and her cheeks burn. "If Brother Tian knew what I was thinking, would he call me 'slutty'?" Mai wondered, covering her cheeks with her hands, then quickly shook her head to calm herself.

As the rustling sounds of dressing in the bathroom ceased, Mai Shiranui's heart raced once more. She buried her face in her chest, too ashamed to look up. A 'click' sound came from the bathroom, and Dong Tian, ​​dressed in a white yukata and carrying a pure white towel, emerged. He had already dried himself using his wind magic, showing no signs of having bathed; it was as if the few minutes he spent in the bathroom had simply been spent changing clothes.

Seeing Mai Shiranui bury her face in her chest, looking shy, Dong Tian smiled inwardly. He walked a few steps to Mai Shiranui's side, wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, and gently kissed her jade-like earlobe, saying, "Mai, it's late, let's sleep!" With that, he pushed Mai Shiranui down onto the soft bed, placed his hands on the pillow beside her, and looked down at her face, which was filled with a faint shyness and reproach.

Mai Shiranui's earlobes were among the most sensitive spots on her body, and with Dong Tian's kiss, her body trembled involuntarily. After being pushed onto the bed by Dong Tian, ​​Mai Shiranui's shy face held a hint of reproach, her alluring eyes gazing at Dong Tian's handsome face, her hands unconsciously slipping inside his yukata, gently caressing his strong body. Dong Tian, ​​seeing Mai Shiranui becoming increasingly proactive, smiled slightly, opened his mouth and pressed it against her cherry lips, gently tasting the nectar in her mouth, his hands slipping inside her yukata, climbing up her two firm, erect breasts, gently kneading them, leaving several finger marks on Mai Shiranui's porcelain-white skin. Amidst Mai Shiranui's rapid breathing, their lips parted, a tantalizingly delicate thread still connecting their mouths. Of course, the surging Dong Tian did not lose his composure; he had already used his mental energy to create a soundproof barrier in his room, he did not want to embarrass himself again.

"Mmm...mmm..." Absence makes the heart grow fonder. After their first taste of forbidden fruit, Mai Shiranui and Dong Tian had separated. Now, under Dong Tian's touch, she gushed forth like a surging tide, letting out pleasurable moans, her face filled with shy joy. Seeing Mai Shiranui's appearance, Dong Tian stopped his movements, his hands slowly sliding down her slender waist, gently lifting Mai Shiranui's pert and round buttocks, and slowly inserting his member into her paradise, launching a new round of attacks.

The next morning, King, still in her pajamas, arrived outside Dong Tian and Mai Shiranui's room with a hint of doubt. She had been watching the two closely all night, but strangely, there had been no movement at all. Even when she used her 'Absolute Territory' sensory domain, she couldn't detect anything. The silence was suspicious.

At this moment, Dong Tian, ​​who had already woken up, was lying in bed with the sleeping Mai Shiranui in his arms, a smile on his face. Looking at Mai Shiranui's adorable sleeping face, he couldn't bear to wake her. "Knock knock!" Two knocks came at the door. Dong Tian was startled, a wave of doubt washing over him. His powerful senses told him that standing outside the door was King, dressed in his pajamas. After quietly getting out of bed, Dong Tian realized he was completely naked, so he grabbed a bathrobe from the bedside, put it on, and went over.

Just as King raised his hand to knock one more time, the door opened and Dong Tian, ​​wearing only a bathrobe, came out. Standing in the doorway, he looked at King, who was about to knock, and asked in confusion, "King, what's the matter that you're knocking on the door so early?"

King quickly placed his right hand on Dong Tian's and replied, "Um...it's nothing, I just wanted to see if you were in the room." As he spoke, King's gaze involuntarily fell on Mai Shiranui, who was still sleeping on the bed behind Dong Tian.

As if sensing King's gaze, Dong Tian glanced back at the still-sleeping Mai Shiranui, smiled slightly, and said, "Mai and I have been here the whole time; we didn't go there." With that, he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Looking at King, he smiled and said, "King, if there's anything else, let's talk somewhere else! Mai is very tired right now, and I don't want to wake her."

"Tired? Hmm... No need, I have things to do!" King was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something, his face turned red, and he hurriedly shook his head and ran away.

Seeing King's shy expression, Dong Tian couldn't help but smile. He turned around, opened the door, and went inside. He glanced at Mai Shiranui, who was still sleeping, picked up his own clothes, quickly dressed, and then gave Mai Shiranui a light kiss on the cheek before leaving the room. He was going to prepare breakfast for his lover.

Chapter 381 Lost in the Universe

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Dong Tian could only return to Japan with a sense of helplessness and doubt to participate in the next competition.

Kyoto KOF Qualifying Tournament, Japan

Among the many arenas, a ball of purple flame suddenly exploded on one of them. Three figures enveloped in the purple flames were immediately sent flying, coughing up blood, and collapsed unconscious off the arena. Just as the audience was wondering what was going on, the purple flame vanished, leaving only one person standing arrogantly on the arena, holding a ball of purple flame in one hand. With a 'whoosh,' Yagami lightly flicked his right hand, which was engulfed in flames, extinguishing the purple flame. He put one hand in his pocket, looked at the three unconscious men with a disdainful expression, and grinned, "Tch, fucking trash." Then, completely ignoring what the referee was saying and the enthusiastic applause from the audience, he turned around with an aloof expression and walked towards the rest room.

"Clap clap..." As soon as Yagami entered the lounge, a round of applause rang out. Dong Tian, ​​dressed in a black robe, clapped his hands as soon as he saw the arrogant Yagami walk in and said, "As expected of Iori, he took care of it in one move."

Yagami looked at Dong Tian, ​​who was speaking, and immediately showed a displeased expression. He walked to the sofa, lay down abruptly, and looked at the broadcast of the qualifying matches from other regions on the TV in the lounge. He said, "How long is this boring competition going to continue?"

Dong Tian smiled faintly and said in a helpless tone, "There's still about a month left!" He secretly regretted not asking Kagura Manki for a special contestant qualification; that way, he could have directly entered the finals. Clearly, like Iori Yagami, he had absolutely no interest in this boring preliminary round.

Hearing Dong Tian's words, Yagami immediately showed a bored expression, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the next match to begin. Just two more matches and today's competition would be completely over. Glancing at Yagami with his eyes closed, Dong Tian smiled slightly and sat cross-legged on the floor of the rest room. His mind was focused, and he instantly entered a very profound state. Since three days ago, when he used the ability 'Black Cavity' he learned in the world of 'Bleach' to go to South Town, the seals left on him by the void had begun to automatically unseal one by one, and his power was gradually returning to his body. In just three days, his power had recovered to its peak, astonishing Dong Tian. His current power was so formidable that, while he couldn't destroy the heavens, destroying the earth was effortless. The earth was like a child's balloon in his eyes, easily popped. In addition, Dong Tian vaguely sensed that he could influence the power of time and space, which was proof that his power had reached the peak of the 'Heavenly Rank'. With just one more step, he could completely master the power of the two great laws of space and time.

Just as Dong Tian entered that mystical state, time on Earth completely froze, even throughout the entire Milky Way galaxy. "Sigh!" A sigh filled with helplessness echoed across the Earth's sky and the entire Milky Way, instantly 'waking' Dong Tian up.

Upon opening his eyes, Dong Tian immediately sensed the state of the entire Earth. With a thought, he instantly teleported to the vast universe tens of light-years away. Although the universe was vast and beautiful, Dong Tian showed no interest in appreciating it. He simply called out to the boundless cosmos, "Void, I have arrived. Come out!"

The moment the words left his mouth, an immense pressure descended. Dong Tian groaned, hastily gathering all his strength to resist it. He had never felt such powerful pressure before, not even in his weakest moments. Soon, Dong Tian noticed the space in the universe he was in beginning to distort, as if forcibly compressed in half. Quickly, a massive black hole appeared out of nowhere tens of thousands of meters in front of him. At such close range, Dong Tian was nearly sucked in. He hurriedly used some of his energy to resist the suction, staring at the black hole devouring countless meteorites and asteroids, filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why the void had summoned him here. Was it to destroy the black hole? Just as Dong Tian was wondering about the void's sudden appearance and its purpose in summoning him, the black hole with its powerful suction began to rapidly shrink. In less than a minute, it transformed into a circular portal with a diameter of only a few thousand meters. Then, to Dong Tian's astonishment, a petite figure appeared at the center of the portal. As the figure slowly emerged, Dong Tian was taken aback; it was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. The moment the girl completely stepped out of the portal, Dong Tian suddenly felt himself lose control of his body. A suction force propelled him rapidly towards the girl, until he was less than ten meters away before regaining control.

Upon arriving before the girl, Dong Tian felt an intimacy and reverence emanating from her, a feeling that seemed to come from the depths of his soul. He involuntarily knelt before her, unable to meet her gaze.

The girl looked at Dong Tian, ​​who was kneeling in front of her with a look of surprise and doubt, and slowly raised a small hand to cover her chest, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have met you in my true form. My follower 'Wu'."

"You are... Lord Void." Upon hearing the girl's words, Dong Tian was startled and immediately guessed her identity, asking her.

"You could say that. Ever since I turned you into my 'nothingness' out of curiosity, I have been observing you constantly. Your existence has brought me a little more joy in endless time." The girl smiled and nodded, withdrawing her oppressive aura, and stood in front of Dong Tian, ​​smiling as she spoke.

Hearing the girl's words, Dong Tian felt puzzled. He slowly stood up and looked at the smiling girl, thinking, "Did she suddenly summon herself to this place just to say these things?"

The girl could certainly sense Dong Tian's confusion. She glanced at the vast universe around her, smiled faintly, and said, "I called you here simply to give you some things."

"Things?" Dong Tian knew he had nothing to hide from the girl, so he asked.

Xu Kong smiled slightly, flipped her wrist, and a ball of light appeared in her small palm. "This is the gift I want to give you. As long as you can use it fully, you will get what you want." After saying that, she lifted the ball of light into the air and gently pushed it into Dong Tian's body.

The instant the sphere of light merged into his body, Dong Tian felt as if his soul had been elevated once again, an extremely comfortable feeling surging from within him, both in his soul and body. "What is this?" Dong Tian asked, gazing at the void with a tone full of surprise.

"After studying it carefully, you will naturally understand." Void smiled slightly, turned around, slowly walked into the portal, left a sentence, and disappeared with the portal.

Watching the void disappear before him, Dong Tian touched the spot where the sphere of light had merged into his chest and fell silent. After about twenty minutes, he suddenly lowered his head, sighed deeply, and glanced at the vastness of the universe and the boundless starry river. His expression gradually changed from calm to helplessness, and tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes like a wronged child. After sobbing a few times, he said in a tearful voice, "Waaah... Can anyone tell me where the way back is?"

Chapter 382 One-Hit Kill

KOF tournament venue

Having just knocked out his opponent in one move, Yagami walked out of the break room looking annoyed. He kicked open the door, stormed in, and glared at Dong Tian, ​​who was sitting cross-legged on the floor like a meditating monk. He then strode over to the sofa and plopped down. This was his sixth consecutive match. Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to reluctantly step into the ring after losing to Dong Tian in rock-paper-scissors. What struck him as strange was that Dong Tian seemed obsessed with something, constantly making odd movements lately.

At this moment, Qin Yu, in deep meditation, found his primordial spirit within a strange temple. Though called a temple, it was merely a giant stone platform with a dozen pillars suspended in the void (similar to the location of Orochi's appearance in '97). In the center of the temple was a sphere of light about two meters in diameter, filled with countless points of light, resembling a star map of the universe from a science fiction film. Standing in the temple, Qin Yu gazed at the sphere of light, lost in thought. This sphere was the one from the void that had merged into his body. After obtaining this sphere, Qin Yu began to explore its function, and was surprised to discover that he could enter the sphere in a manner similar to astral projection. The scene inside the sphere astonished Qin Yu; it was a vast universe, containing countless galaxies and planets similar to the Milky Way. However, when Qin Yu attempted to explore one of the Earth-like planets, a powerful repulsive force immediately repelled his primordial spirit back into his body. From then on, Dong Tian had something to do. He would enter the light sphere almost every day, preparing to forcefully break through the powerful, invisible barrier outside a certain planet.

Gazing at the sphere of light before him, Dong Tian, ​​standing within the temple, exhaled softly. He transformed into a beam of light and merged into the sphere, instantly transforming the surrounding environment into a vast universe. Countless beautiful, radiant galaxies appeared before him. Without pausing, Dong Tian, ​​having just entered the world of the sphere, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards a galaxy. After traversing countless planets, he stopped in the universe outside a planet identical to Earth. "Hoo… This time, I must break through this ghostly barrier." Dong Tian exhaled, looking at the world before him, and swung his fists a few times into the void. Each punch created ripples in the surrounding space, subtly suggesting a tendency to shatter space itself. "Haa!" Dong Tian roared, his entire body enveloped in dazzling light. Countless spiritual energies surged into his body at an unimaginable speed, causing his muscles to bulge and his veins to stand out. His long hair, which had been flowing down his back, stood upright like a Super Saiyan, with faint flashes of electricity visible on his head. He exuded a terrifying aura of dominance and supreme power, so strong that visible ripples appeared around him, and the surrounding space began to groan as if it were about to be crushed by something. "One strike to kill!" After enough time to build up his strength, Dong Tian roared again, unleashing a simple yet swift punch. This punch seemed to follow the natural order of heaven and earth… or perhaps, the trajectory of some kind of rule. It was merely an ordinary punch, yet it contained the most wondrous power in the world. Before this punch, let alone dodging, one probably couldn't even conceive of dodging. It was as if to dodge would be to violate the laws of nature, to defy the laws of heaven, to go against the very heavens.

As the punch landed silently, an unbelievable scene unfolded: countless layers of light shields suddenly appeared on the planet's surface, rapidly enveloping the entire planet. These shields shattered instantly, unable to withstand the force of the punch. However, just as the punch struck the last few layers of light shields, those shields didn't break. Instead, they deflated like balloons, held for a few seconds, and then instantly returned to their original state, completely dissipating the force of the punch as if nothing had happened. "Hmm! Tch, still no breakthrough?" Dong Tian in the universe couldn't help but grunt, a hint of anger in his eyes. Looking at the rapidly recovering light shields, he murmured softly. Logically speaking, his punch, in terms of destructive power, could shatter not just one planet, but dozens or even hundreds of planets, or even space itself. Yet, it had no effect on the barrier surrounding this planet—it was truly strange.

Staring at his fist, Dong Tian fell into deep thought once more. In terms of destructive power, he felt it was enough to destroy the light barrier, but the last two layers seemed to contain a trace of rule power he hadn't yet mastered. Before the rules, his absolute strength seemed somewhat inadequate. Dong Tian's mind was filled with the scene of his fist clashing with the light barrier. This gave him a glimmer of inspiration; he could vaguely guess that the rule power contained within the last two layers of the light barrier was the rule power of time and space, which he hadn't fully grasped. Thinking this, Dong Tian clenched his fist tightly, a confident smile appearing on his face. He now understood the purpose of 'Void' sending him the light sphere; his power should have reached its peak. This meant that as long as he fully comprehended these two powers, he could return to the world he had traveled to and reunite with his loved ones. "I will definitely succeed, wait for me..." Dong Tian thought to himself, clenching his fist. With that thought, Qin Yu withdrew from his body.

Just as Yagami was idly changing the TV program with the remote, Dong Tian, ​​who was sitting on the floor, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Yagami sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Is the match over, Iori?"

"Tch, what are you doing?" Yagami first showed an impatient expression, nodded slightly, and then asked curiously. Because Dong Tian hadn't done anything except meditate lately, and even in competitions, he would win by playing rock-paper-scissors to let Yagami play. Although at first Yagami thought this was childish behavior and refused, after Dong Tian said, "This is training for nerve reactions," he stopped saying anything. In fact, his reactions were indeed not as fast as Dong Tian's.

"It's nothing, I just found something interesting," Dong Tian said with a smile, in a good mood.

Looking at the smiling Dong Tian, ​​Yagami glanced at the competition situation outside the window and said arrogantly, "There's still a week left before this boring preliminary round ends. Just so you know, that Kusanagi Kyo guy is mine."

"Of course, although you are all my friends, I am not interested in the feud between your two families," Dong Tian nodded and said in a calm tone.

As they were talking, the staff's voice came from the player in the lounge, reminding the two to prepare for the match. Upon hearing this, Yagami's eyes immediately filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Dong Tian. Dong Tian, ​​on the other hand, smiled at Yagami, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. As if they were telepathically connected, the two 'extended' their hands at the same time, one with a clenched fist and the other with outstretched fingers.

Seeing Dong Tian throw a punch, Yagami scoffed and leaned back on the sofa, clearly annoyed. He had obviously noticed Dong Tian's little trick. Dong Tian, ​​seeing Yagami's action, immediately smiled, slowly stood up, casually dusted off his spotless black robe, and walked out the door.

As Dong Tian slowly walked onto the ring, the audience, who had initially thought it was Iori Yagami, erupted in cheers, waving their pre-prepared advertising boards. The contestants on the opposite side of the ring breathed a sigh of relief; they certainly didn't want to be burned beyond recognition by that madman, Iori Yagami. To Dong Tian's surprise, a two-meter-tall, disproportionately large, scantily clad man, accompanied by heavy footsteps, walked into the ring—he appeared to be a sumo wrestler.

"I should have brought Yagami. I really can't handle this guy!" Dong Tian thought to himself as he looked at the sumo wrestler's face, which was almost squished together, and his body shape, which resembled that of some kind of animal that only knew how to eat and sleep.

"Dong dong..." The moment the bell rang, signaling the start of the match, the sumo wrestler struck first, his heavy steps carrying him forward like a raging elephant or an armored vehicle charging at full speed, his arms slamming into Dong Tian with immense force. The marble ring shattered rapidly under his weight, leaving a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks. Anyone hit by this 'head' would suffer, but Dong Tian wasn't human; he was a monster. With a deafening roar, Dong Tian, ​​standing motionless, collided with the 'head'. The marble beneath Dong Tian's feet instantly shattered into tiny specks, like grains of sand, sending up a cloud of dust.

"You call this strength? You pig!" Dong Tian cursed, staring at the Japanese contestant before him. His hands, which had been locked together, instantly gripped the opponent's, and with a slight effort, he lifted him up. A burst of scorching flame erupted from his hands, rapidly spreading along the opponent's arms and engulfing him in flames. "Ah!!" The man engulfed in flames screamed in agony, struggling desperately to break free from Dong Tian's grasp. Sensing the opponent's fear, Dong Tian smiled, then with a flick of his arms, tossed his nearly roasted opponent away.

"Thump!" The moment the sumo wrestler, weighing nearly 500 pounds, landed, the audience even felt the entire arena shake. Staff members rushed over with fire extinguishers, spraying the victim. It's true what they say, you can't escape your fate. He escaped Yagami's clutches, but he couldn't escape Dong Tian's. He couldn't even escape the fire extinguishers; these were originally prepared for those who fought Yagami.

Chapter 383 Yagami VS Storm - Gonis

Faced with the formidable Dong Tian, ​​the fat man's two teammates had no choice but to give up. Dong Tian could only walk off the stage with a bored expression and turn to head towards the rest room. At the same time, an uninvited guest appeared in the rest room, which had previously only contained Yagami: the tall and imposing Storm—Gonis, dressed in a green robe. Dong Tian, ​​who had just entered the rest room, was taken aback when he saw Storm, then smiled, glanced at Yagami standing opposite Storm, who looked furious and ready to attack at any moment, and said, "Gonis, long time no see."

Upon hearing Dong Tian's voice, Storm stopped watching Yagami, turned to Dong Tian, ​​nodded, and said with a smile, "Long time no see." As soon as Storm finished speaking, Dong Tian, ​​who was standing at the door, instantly moved in front of Storm, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said meaningfully, "I really have to thank you for your hospitality last time. I've been thinking about how to thank you back."

Storm, of course, understood the meaning behind Dong Tian's words. A slight, bitter smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Dong Tian and said, "No need to be polite. Since we're not enemies yet, there's no need for further words. This time, I'm not here to find you." As he spoke, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over Yagami. Yagami, standing to the side, could feel Storm's gaze and also sensed Storm's immense power. A fighting spirit flashed in his eyes as he awaited Storm's next words.

"I understand. Then I won't bother you any longer." Hearing Storm's words, Dong Tian nodded slightly, adopting an indifferent expression, and slowly walked out of the lounge, leaving Yagami and Storm alone. Dong Tian understood that Storm's purpose in seeking Yagami was twofold: first, to gain an additional ally to help him awaken Orochi; and second, to eliminate the threat posed by the Three Sacred Treasures. Dong Tian was extremely interested in Orochi, who could wield spatial power. He was currently studying the laws of space and time, as the void had already planted the 'seeds' of these two rules within his body through various opportunities. This allowed him to use these two powers to a certain extent, and once he found a suitable opportunity, he could master both laws in one fell swoop. However, using a power and mastering the laws of a power are worlds apart, so he believed that the awakening of Orochi, who could use spatial power, would be of some help to him.

After Dong Tian left, Yagami had no more worries. The fighting spirit in his eyes as he looked at Storm became more and more obvious. Looking at Yagami like this, Storm's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. He placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gonis. You can also call me Storm."

As Baofeng finished speaking, a cracking sound suddenly emanated from the marble floor beneath Iori Yagami's feet, revealing spiderweb-like cracks. His blood-red hair and clothing fluttered without wind, and a powerful aura surged forth from Iori, pressing down on Baofeng. The air in the room seemed to grow heavier, filled with a chilling yet scorching sensation. The sofa where Iori had been sitting suddenly burst into flames, quickly turning to ashes. Baofeng, noticing this, smiled even more broadly, a chillingly malevolent aura emanating from him. An unnatural wind instantly appeared in the room, enveloping him.

Outside the lounge, the KOF qualifying matches were still underway. Just as the audience was cheering for the matches, a huge explosion rang out. The tempered glass of the lounge where Iori Yagami was located shattered into countless fragments, each carrying purple flames, shooting into the crowd like a shower of flowers. The scene instantly descended into chaos, with screams erupting from countless spectators, clearly indicating they had been injured. While the competitors on the stage were still wondering what had happened, two figures burst out of the exploded lounge and landed heavily on the stage. It was Iori Yagami and Storm. As soon as they regained their footing, Storm, without hesitation, swung his hand, unleashing two visible whirlwinds. The competitors who had been standing on the stage were instantly struck as if by a powerful blow, coughing up blood and staggering back, falling heavily off the stage.

Just as Storm completed his move, Yagami, positioned at the edge of the ring, moved. He instantly transformed into a blur, rushing towards Storm. As he neared Storm, his speed suddenly increased, covering five meters in an instant, and delivered a powerful punch to Storm's face. Storm immediately staggered back, tilting his head to the side, narrowly avoiding Yagami's blow. At the very moment Storm made this move, Yagami uttered a soft shout, "Kotozuki In!" A ball of purple flame suddenly ignited in his hand. His outstretched right hand instantly transformed into a claw, firmly grasping Storm's head and slamming him against the hard marble. As the flames scattered, the purple flames in his hand exploded, striking Storm's body with tremendous force.

After Yagami landed a successful "Kotozuki In," he immediately retreated, gazing at the motionless Storm lying in the crater. Ignoring the chaotic crowd, he muttered in disappointment, "Tch, trash. Not even a warm-up." He had thought Storm was formidable, but he'd been dealt with so easily. After his outburst, he turned and prepared to leave, ignoring Storm's fate.

The instant Yagami turned around, a tornado-like column of wind appeared out of nowhere on the arena. Its power was so great that it pierced the ceiling of the tournament venue, sending debris hurtling into the sky. Countless shards of concrete rained down like hail, instantly striking and inflicting fatal head wounds on the ordinary spectators who hadn't yet escaped the arena. To Yagami's astonishment, the previously knocked-down Storm slowly rose to his feet, his body perfectly straight, without bending a single joint, as if unaffected by gravity, and without a single scratch.

Storm looked at the astonished Iori Yagami, smiled slightly, and asked in a disdainful tone, "Is this your flame, Iori Yagami!"

"Hmph... Hahaha..." Seeing the slight contempt in Storm's eyes, he not only got angry but also laughed heartily, instantly unleashing an aura several times stronger than before. The ball of purple flame in his hand burned brighter and brighter, shooting up to a height of nearly a meter, his skin glowing with a faint red light—proof of the peak of his 'Absolute Domain'. "Haha... Then try it!" Yagami shouted, swinging his right hand and unleashing a 'Flame Drive', the purple flame shooting straight towards Storm.

"A boring little trick." Storm immediately sneered, stretching out his arm. His right hand, covered in azure light, grabbed the 'Flame Drive' launched by Iori, squeezing it forcefully and crushing the ball of flame, which was no less powerful than a missile. But how could Iori's attack end so easily? Just after Storm crushed the 'Flame Drive,' Iori had already rushed in front of him, his arms swinging out several claw shadows mixed with purple flames. This was Iori's strongest move to date, "Eight Maidens!"

"Using my clan's martial arts against me is far too childish." Storm, like a gentle breeze, swiftly dodged Yagami's attacks, simultaneously seizing Yagami's left hand, which was ablaze with purple flames, and said with a cold laugh. It turns out that Yagami was originally named Yagami Kyouka. Unwilling to live in the "shadow" of the Kusanagi clan, he answered Orochi's call, signing a "blood pact" to relinquish his mission of guarding Orochi's seal and gain boundless power, changing his surname to Yagami. After realizing the Yagami clan's betrayal, the Kusanagi clan began their counterattack. From then on, the struggle between the two families never ceased, their strength remaining evenly matched. The Yagami clan's signature technique, 'Yawaijo' (Eight Maidens), is precisely the Orochi clan's ultimate technique.

"Damn it!" Iori Yagami felt insulted like never before and cursed. His right hand, burning with purple flames, immediately grabbed at Storm's head. It was 'Kotozuki In'. Logically speaking, Storm should have been able to grab Iori Yagami's left hand with one hand and couldn't possibly dodge. But something strange happened. Iori Yagami felt like he hadn't grabbed anything at all, as if he had only grabbed a gust of wind. He had missed his target.

"Thud!" A dull thud rang out, and Storm's smile widened. He had already grabbed Yagami's other hand. Looking at Yagami, who was now inches away, Storm grinned maliciously and said, "Your true nature seems to have yet to awaken. Well then, I'll give you a hand!"

"Damn it, get out of my way!" With both arms captured, Yagami was shocked and enraged. His strength surged, and a powerful flame erupted from his body, actually shaking off the storm and forcing him to retreat. But before Yagami could even feel relieved, the storm that had been shaken off suddenly pressed against him, staring at him blankly, as if Yagami's strength had no effect on it at all.

With a claw, the same claw again, Storm grabbed Iori once more, but this time not his arm, but his face. Iori, just as before, didn't even try to dodge. "Darkness weeps!" Storm's cold voice rang out, and a tornado about four meters in diameter, carrying unparalleled power, shot down from the broken roof, instantly enveloping Iori and Storm. "Ugh!" Under such a heavy blow, Iori finally couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. But the attack didn't end. Perhaps deliberately wanting Iori to suffer, a two-foot-thick column of wind burst forth from Storm's palm gripping Iori's face, blasting Iori's body away heavily.

"This is the real 'Yagami'!" Just as Yagami flew out, Storm seemed unsatisfied. After roaring, he transformed into a phantom and rushed towards Yagami, who was still in mid-air. His eyes revealed a powerful killing intent, as if he wanted to kill Yagami.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the side, instantly grabbing Yagami and unleashing countless kicks, creating a dense protective net. The power contained in each kick reached an astonishing level, startling Storm, who had to stop attacking. He forcibly stopped and looked at the newcomer, frowning as he asked, "Dong Tian, ​​what do you mean by this?"

The person who came was Dong Tian, ​​who had returned. He was carrying the stunned and unconscious Yagami on his back. He slowly lowered his raised right leg and said with a smile, "Gonis, let's talk this out. Don't go too far. He's my teammate! I don't want him to get injured and be unable to play."

Hearing Dong Tian say this, Storm realized that he had been too excited. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha...not bad, I was too impulsive. I'll leave the prince to you for now." With that, he summoned a hurricane to surround his body and slowly flew away from the venue, which had been destroyed beyond recognition.

Watching the storm gradually disappear into the distance, Dong Tian, ​​carrying Yagami, couldn't help but shout, "Hey... you're just leaving like that? You damn priest, who's going to pay for the damages here?! Hey..."

Chapter 384 Kagura Chizuru

"Whoosh!" The sliding door to the quiet room was pulled open from the outside. Dong Tian slowly turned his face. The person who came in was none other than Iori Yagami. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking at him with a puzzled look. "Oh, Iori, are you feeling better now?" Looking at Iori, Dong Tian immediately asked with a smile.

Yagami, of course, knew that his injuries had been healed by Dong Tian, ​​and asked directly, "Tell me, who exactly is the guy who injured me?"

"Are you asking about that guy Gonis? I think someone will tell you. Look, she's already here." Dong Tian smiled slightly, as if sensing something, and looked behind Yagami. With that, he flashed and moved directly behind Yagami, quickly walked out of the quiet room, and came to the courtyard in the backyard. He jumped onto the roof in a few steps and looked up at the sky in front of him.

Although Yagami was puzzled by Dong Tian's actions, he followed him out and looked in the direction he was looking. He was taken aback. It turned out that Yagami had discovered a military helicopter traveling at high speed in the sky more than ten miles away, thanks to his eyesight which was several times that of an ordinary person. In addition, Yagami could feel that there was an aura on the helicopter that was no weaker than his own.

Military helicopters are incredibly fast, covering a distance of over ten miles in less than three minutes. Yagami, watching the helicopter hovering above him for so long without landing, felt a growing sense of being watched, which instantly made him very uncomfortable. He conjured a ball of purple flame in his hand and unleashed a 'Flame Expulsion' attack like a cannonball towards the helicopter, intending to dispel this feeling.

Just as Yagami's purple flames were about to strike the helicopter, a white figure suddenly leaped out, shattering Yagami's "Flame Exorcism" and rushing towards Yagami and Dong Tian, ​​who were standing on the rooftop. Dong Tian was slightly taken aback by the approaching white figure, while Yagami smiled slightly, his purple flames burning even more intensely as he unleashed a ground-to-air "Oni-Yaki" to meet the white figure.

Seeing Yagami unleash "Oni-Yaki," the person immediately raised their left hand, a white light instantly wrapping around their palm. A delicate shout rang out: "Jade Echoing Koto!" They met Yagami's Oni-Yaki head-on. "Bang!" A muffled sound rang out, and Yagami and the white figure abruptly separated. Under the force of the impact, Yagami lost his balance and took a step back. The white figure, however, forcefully twisted in mid-air, landing lightly on the rooftop—it was Kagura Chizuru, Kagura Maki's younger sister.

"Woman!" Yagami's face immediately contorted with rage. He hadn't expected to be pushed back so easily. The purple flames in his hand surged suddenly before returning to normal. He transformed into a streak of afterimages and charged towards Kagura Chizuru.

"Stop, Iori!" Just as Yagami was about to rush in front of Kagura Chizuru, Dong Tian, ​​who had been standing still without saying a word, suddenly rushed into Yagami's attack range and stood in front of Kagura Chizuru, shouting loudly to stop him.

At Dong Tian's shout, Yagami stopped his attack, but his claw-like right hand was less than five inches from Dong Tian's ear. Dong Tian's hair fluttered in the wind from Yagami's claw, and a few long black hairs were burned to ashes by Yagami's purple flames. "Stop, Iori. She's not an enemy. She just came to tell you about your connection with Gonis." After Yagami stopped, Dong Tian smiled slightly and said, his eyes showing no fear. He was clearly unconcerned about the 'dangerous situation' he had just been in. However, Kagura Chizuru, whom he was protecting behind him, did not think so. Her eyes were filled with powerful anger as she looked at Yagami.

"Tch." Yagami withdrew his right hand slightly annoyed at Dong Tian's words. At this moment, he was eager to find an opponent to vent his anger. However, when he saw the angry look in Kagura Chizuru's eyes behind Dong Tian, ​​he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile and said arrogantly, "Woman, tell me what you know."

Seeing Yagami's arrogant attitude, Kagura Chizuru frowned slightly. Just then, Dong Tianze turned around, looked at Kagura Chizuru with a smile, and said, "Chizuru, I didn't expect your sister to call you here. It's been a long time. Well then... tell An everything you know!"

"Phew!" Hearing Dong Tian's words, Kagura Chizuru took a deep breath to calm herself down, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

…………………………………………One hour later

During that hour, Chizuru Kagura recounted the origins of the Kagura (originally surnamed Yata) clan, the Yagami clan, the Kusanagi clan, and the Orochi clan, all associated with the Three Sacred Treasures. She also recounted the outcome of the battle between Dong Tian and Storm more than a year ago, hoping that Yagami would understand how urgent it was to seal the Orochi clan.

"Hmph... Hahaha..." After hearing what Kagura Chizuru said, Yagami couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was a classic three-part laugh. A strong fighting spirit suddenly burst out in his eyes, and his madness was on full display. He looked at Kagura Chizuru and laughed, saying, "I don't care about the Three Sacred Treasures or the Orochi clan. I only know that I will kill that guy."
