He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

This was not a close battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!

Soon, with the cooperation of Tang Yu and others, the heads of the Snake Clan wiped out all the rebels.

At this moment, the only one still sitting unharmed was Tachibana Masamune, who was sitting in the main seat.

Although the area around the Awakening Temple was littered with corpses, Tachibana Masamune remained calm, his fearless demeanor igniting a nameless rage in everyone's hearts.

Tang Yu knew that this guy named "Tachibana Masamune" was not Herzog's real body, but rather a shadow clone or a clone or something...

It doesn't matter what it is exactly, it will all turn into foam anyway.

Tang Yu put the long sword back into its sheath, then slowly walked over to Tachibana Masamune, seemingly wanting to say something to him.

Seeing Tang Yu walking towards him, Tachibana Masamune showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he looked at the somewhat immature boy with great interest.

118 slices of Tachibana Masamune

“I know you… Tang Yu!” As Tang Yu approached, Tachibana Masamune, who had been smiling silently, suddenly spoke up. He stared intently at Tang Yu, his eyes full of doubt.

"He's changed ever since you met with Chisei a little over a month ago. If I'm not mistaken, you must have told him something!"

“That’s right.” Tang Yu nodded generously. “I told Yuan Zhisheng everything about you, including… the evil deeds you committed in Black Swan Harbor.”

Upon hearing the term "Black Swan Harbor," Tachibana Masamune looked puzzled, seemingly unaware of the place name, but Tang Yu was not surprised.

"It seems you don't know what Black Swan Harbor is. But I can't blame you for that. After all, that old bastard Herzog is very suspicious. You're just a pawn in his game and don't deserve to know such an important secret."

"Kill me if you want, why waste so much time talking!" Tachibana Masamune was doomed. As Herzog's double, he knew he couldn't escape safely today, so he simply closed his eyes and begged for a quick death.

"I know you have a listening device on you, so let me tell you another secret! And let Herzog listen in too." Tang Yu whispered mysteriously in Tachibana Masamune's ear.

“Herzog… I don’t know exactly where you’re hiding, you old codger, but there are only two places you can hide! The laboratory Bondarev left behind outside Tokyo, and that long-abandoned Black Swan Port…”

Tang Yu's words caused a ripple to appear on Tachibana Masamune's face for the first time. He didn't know what Black Swan Harbor was... but he knew a little about the laboratory on the outskirts of Tokyo that Tang Yu mentioned.

"You seem surprised? If that's the case, Herzog must be hiding there!" Tang Yu asked softly, his eyes narrowed.

Tachibana Masamune wanted to say something more, but Tang Yu had no interest in listening. He waved his hand, causing Tachibana Masamune to swallow back what he hadn't yet said.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense. It doesn't matter where Herzog is, I have deployments in both places anyway. Now... you can rest assured and be sliced ​​apart!"

No sooner had Tang Yu finished speaking than Inuyama He, the head of the Inuyama family, and Fuma Kotaro, the head of the Fuma family, who had not yet made a move, launched their attack simultaneously.

Inuyama He shouted and drew his long sword, charging forward. Among the heads of the Snake Clan, Inuyama He's strength ranked in the top three.

Because he possesses superb swordsmanship and a powerful Word of Power, the Word of Power: Setsuna! The first generation was Viscount Silverwing Sherlock of the Lionheart Society, who also possessed this Word of Power. However, Sherlock used a gun, so the Word of Power Setsuna was slightly mismatched with his abilities.

But Inuyama He was different.

He wields a knife! His "Moment" ability is currently at the eighth level. If he fully activates the Dragon Blood, Inuyama He can gain a speed boost of 256 times on top of his own.

Inuyama He, who has activated the power of words... can be described as a true meat grinder!

With "Instantaneous" at full power, a chilling blade aura enveloped Inuyama He, and he charged straight toward Tachibana Masamune's face with this meat grinder-like blade aura.

Behind Tachibana Masamune is Fuma Kotaro.

Like Inuyama He, Fuma Kotaro, the leader of a ninja clan, also possessed extremely superb swordsmanship.

However, the weapon he used was not the katana commonly found in yakuza, but a short blade.

The short blade is shorter than the katana, but it is more dangerous.

The black short blade of unknown material transformed into a streak of black light in the hands of Fuma Kotaro, approaching Tachibana Masamune from behind like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness.

The two heads of the family, one in front and one behind, blocked all of Tachibana Masamune's escape routes.

*Pfft...*

The continuous sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh echoed in the space, sounds that seemed to come from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

The "meat grinder" characteristic of the Word of Power: Moment was fully demonstrated at this moment. Tachibana Masamune, who was calmly drinking tea just a moment ago, has now turned into a pool of blood-red mosaic.

Blood flowed freely throughout the Xingshen Temple, the splattered flesh and blood making the place as eerie as a hellish inferno...

In this bloody scene, most people actually behaved quite well. After all, they were all yakuza or executive department elites who had seen blood before, and they could handle this small scene.

The only one who looked a little disheveled was probably Lu Mingfei.

That blood-red mosaic tingled with Lu Mingfei's fragile and sensitive nerves, and two seconds later, the unlucky kid couldn't hold back anymore.

He threw down his Glock and ran to a corner of the Awakening Temple, where he covered his mouth and began to retch.

Seeing the child vomiting and crying, Tang Yu thoughtfully handed him a bottle of mineral water.

As for why Tang Yu had mineral water... of course it's because he had just finished vomiting.

"These guys are so inconsiderate, why make it so bloody? I threw up my dinner from last night!" Tang Yu stared at Inuyama He with resentful eyes.

"Let's clean this up!" Yuan Zhisheng looked at the patch of mosaic not far away, a look of relief flashing in his eyes. The biggest problem had been cleaned up, and the hidden danger had been eliminated.

"The rest, I think the girl will take care of it..." Genji murmured to himself.

Just then, the communicator hanging on Genjiro's waist rang. This communicator only had one contact stored in it, and that was his younger brother, Genjiro, who was also the Dragon King of the Demon Clan.

At this moment, Genji stood on the other side of the city, his face covered in blood, with a corpse in a gray robe under his feet. He looked as ferocious and terrifying as a demon that had crawled out of purgatory.

The one trampled underfoot by Genjiro was the King of the Oni Clan... who was also the other identity of that old man Herzog.

From the mangled corpse that Herzog had stabbed to pieces, it was easy to see just how much hatred Genji had for that bastard.

……

Following Genji's communication, Genji's communication devices rang one after another. Each ring of the communicator meant that Genji's "Shadow Guard" or Uesugi Kotsu's subordinates had found Herzog's clone (the Shadow Warrior's Stand).

Herzog's many fabricated identities, built over decades, were all exposed on this day, and his decades-long scheme was destroyed in an instant.

The only thing that Genjiro is somewhat concerned about is probably Herzog's true form... Although the clones and the shadow warriors have killed countless people, the most important thing, the true form, has not yet been found.

Yuan Zhisheng looked worried.

Unlike Yuan Zhisheng's worries, Tang Yu on the other side didn't care at all. He took out his watch to check the time, and a knowing look appeared on his face.

"Judging by the time, they should be almost there by now..."

Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows of Genji Heavy Industries, Tang Yu could see the beautiful evening view of Tokyo. He was in a great mood, or to put it more vividly, he was super high!

------------

119. How did Herzog die? Was he buried alive or boiled?

Just as the battle between the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan had essentially ended, a research institute on the outskirts of Tokyo, abandoned for decades, welcomed its first "guest" in many years.

"Is this the place Tang Yu was talking about?" Xia Mi, wearing a floral mini-skirt, frowned her cute brows. "It looks so shabby! Would anyone really live in a place like this?" Xia Mi muttered to herself.

A moment later, Xia Mi put aside her slight doubts. She gently stomped her small feet, clad in leather shoes, on the ground, and a barely perceptible force spread downwards through the earth.

When this force returned, it brought Xia Mi all the information from beneath the ground.

"The structural layers here are so loose and brittle, perfect, no need to exert too much effort! Well then, Showtime... it's time to get back to my job!"

Xia Mi pulled a peach-flavored hard candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. The sweet taste exploded on her tongue, and the dragon blood within Xia Mi's body gradually began to boil.

The dragon's bloodline began to awaken within her body. Xia Mi gently closed her eyes, then opened them again. In just that brief moment, those eyes, which shone like black gemstones, had transformed into a pair of majestic golden pupils.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the golden eyes, and a brand-new, unique Word of Power ability belonging only to the Dragon King was activated.

Under the influence of the Earth Element Authority, the structural layer beneath this research institute underwent some subtle changes.

The macroscopic consequence of this tiny "subtle change" is a minor earthquake.

The earthquake was so small that even the Japanese geological monitoring agency subconsciously overlooked this insignificant data.

But... even this tiny earthquake buried the entire research institute underground. Debris and gravel poured in through the breach, and any living thing hidden inside was crushed to death.

……

At the same time, in the Siberian tundra.

Two figures, completely concealed in black cloaks, stepped onto this perpetually snow-covered tundra.

Of the two mysterious figures, the shorter one seemed to have difficulty walking; he used a cane to move forward with difficulty on the snow.

"Let me carry you on my back..." After a long while, another figure walked up to him and gently bent down.

“Brother…” He paused for a moment, then smiled brightly, dropped his cane, and climbed onto his brother’s back.

Yes, you guessed it.

These are the two Dragon King brothers.

The one with the limp is Constantine, and the other is his brother... formerly Norton, now Ronald Don.

As for why they appeared in this godforsaken place, it was of course because of Tang Yu's request!

Tang Yu commissioned them to come to this place and burn some "residue produced during human evolution."

……

Norton carried his younger brother across the tundra. The wind carried snow from the sky, making it very cold, but it was nothing to these two fire-type dragon kings.

Norton walked for an unknown amount of time, until the sun began to set and the stars gradually rose into the sky, and only then did the unchanging white at the edge of his vision begin to change slightly.

It was a cluster of charred buildings!

Constantine, perched on Norton's back, unfolded a map. "Brother, this should be the place!"

“If the map is correct, this should be the place!” Norton stared at the map for a moment, then came to a conclusion.

"Since the location is correct, then... brother, let's begin!"

"Okay, be careful," Norton responded softly, then carefully lowered his younger brother from his back to the ground.

Constantine held Norton's fingers, feeling the burning heat emanating from his brother, and the dragon blood within him began to boil.

A deep, resonant dragon inscription emerged from Constantine's mouth, his golden eyes flashing with a majestic light, and an ancient and powerful incantation began to be unleashed.

Sequence 89, Word of Power: Monarch's Flame!

The King's Flame used by Constantine was many times stronger than the one used by Chu Zihang.

As Constantine softly chanted, scorching flames began to bloom wildly on the tundra, the white snow and red flames reflecting each other in a beautiful and terrifying scene, yet filled with murderous intent.
