Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"From the moment you, the Snake Eight Families, issued a warrant for our arrest... no, from the moment you concealed the truth hidden in Takama-ga-hara and put us in danger, it can be considered a rebellion against the Secret Party!" Lu Mingfei said loudly, "The war has already begun, hasn't it? You plotted against us, and in the end, you let us escape. That's your cowardice. I was able to chop off one of Tachibana Masamune's eyes in your base camp. That's my ability!"

"Master Sakurai, you're not so arrogant as to use the names of the Eight Snake Clans to intimidate the secret party, are you? You wield poisonous whips while we stand at attention and take the beatings?" Lu Mingfei curled his lips, "There's no such thing as that!"

"Can you represent the entire secret party?" Sakurai Nanami asked coldly, "Even if Principal Ange came in person, there's absolutely no reason for him to attack the former head of our Sheqi Eight Clan. You're just a second-year student. Do you understand the current situation?"

"The principal didn't attack Tachibana Masamune simply because he didn't want to. When the principal smashed his car, did your beloved Mr. Masamune dare to resist?" Lu Mingfei shook his head slightly. "As for whether I can represent the secret party? Have you ever thought about what a stupid question you asked? Master Sakurai, I think you are the one who doesn't understand the situation?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and his voice exploded like thunder.

"The leader of our group is Caesar Gattuso, President of the Kassel College Student Union, sole heir of the Gattuso family, and a candidate member of the Secret Party Elders Council!"

"My teammate is Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Club of Kassel College, an ace professional in the executive department, and one of the candidates for department head."

"And I'm the only 'S' rank at Kassel Academy, the new generation dragon slayer leader. I've fought my way through the Bronze City of the Bronze and Fire Kings, and entered the underground of the Earth and Mountain Kings. The moment I first arrived at Kassel Academy, I slaughtered a second-generation species. My completion rate for the missions entrusted to me by the Secret Party is unparalleled, 100%."

"All the students, professors, and even the principal agree that we represent the younger generation of Kassel Academy..." At this point, Lu Mingfei glanced coldly at Sakurai Nanami, "And you actually asked me if I can represent the secret party... Master Sakurai, are you crazy?"

Sakurai Nanami's face turned grim: "But this is Japan, the territory of the Snake Eight Clan. Genji Heavy Industries is not a place where you can be so arrogant!"

"Yes, Japan is your territory, but you needed us to help you blow up Takama-ga-hara, and you turned your back on us afterwards; this is your territory, and you were kept in the dark about the existence of Deadpool in your own family; this is your territory, and you couldn't even protect the former patriarch of your own family on your own territory?" Lu Mingfei laughed as he spoke.

"You Japanese people's thinking logic is really different from that of ordinary people. After so many years, you still follow this bandit logic, openly showing your evil, without any shame, as if it is a matter of course." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and sighed, "Master Sakurai, I think there is nothing more to say between us. I am only looking forward to what kind of expression you will show when you face me after everything is settled."

There was deep confusion in Sakurai Nanami's eyes. She completely couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Lu Mingfei's words.

Lu Mingfei, who was talking to Sakurai Nanami, suddenly twisted his body, and Kanze Masamune lashed at Tachibana Masamune like a whip. Tachibana Masamune swung out his ancient sword to block Lu Mingfei's attack, but because he had not yet adapted to the defocused eyes, he failed to notice Lu Mingfei's raised right foot in time.

"Next time I won't be so merciful and just cut off one of your eyes... Next time I'll chop off your entire head!" Lu Mingfei whispered his inner thoughts in a voice that only he and Tachibana Masamune could hear, like the devil's whisper, "Don't forget this feeling of fear... Mr. Masamune of the Snake Eight Clan!"

Lu Mingfei kicked Tachibana Masamune hard in the abdomen. Tachibana Masamune was standing on the edge of the elevator shaft. After being kicked by Lu Mingfei, he could not keep his balance at all and fell uncontrollably into the dark elevator shaft.

Lu Mingfei used this momentum to leap to the top of the elevator shaft and said to the two people on the floor, "Just a friendly reminder, the bottom of this elevator shaft is full of Deadpools like the ones you just killed. They must have been hungry for a long time... Do you want to chase me, or save your Mr. Masamune? You don't have much time to make a choice."

"Master Sakurai, I'll leave Mr. Masamune to you. I'll try to use my 'Setsuna' to chase Lu Mingfei!" Inuyama He made the judgment at the first moment and took action the next second.

Sakurai Nanami nodded, she jumped into the elevator shaft and slid down the steel cableway, while Inuyama He stepped on the wall of the elevator shaft at high speed to gain leverage, looking like he was flying, and soon caught up with Lu Mingfei who was climbing along the cable net.

The two men's long swords collided in the dark elevator shaft, the blades sharpening each other, and the clear sound of the swords resounded throughout the deep elevator shaft, as if reaching heaven and hell.

"Master Inuyama, you are not here to seek revenge on me for injuring your Masamune, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Inuyama He who was coming forward.

"I only have two questions." Inuyama He stared at Lu Mingfei, his eyes more serious than ever. "Those Deadpools weren't let in from outside the building, but have been hiding inside Genji Heavy Industries the whole time, right?"

"Yes."

"Does this have anything to do with Mr. Masamune?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"The doubts in my heart are finally resolved." The "chuan" character between Inuyama He's eyebrows finally loosened. He said to Lu Mingfei seriously, "Thank you."

As Inuyama He released the force, the two blades that had sharpened each other finally separated. In the pitch-black elevator shaft, Inuyama He's figure slowly descended, while Lu Mingfei's figure continued to climb to the upper floors.

……

Genji Heavy Industry, shadow wall layer.

Standing in front of Caesar and Chu Zihang is an extremely huge mural.

In the picture, the earth is barren, all things are withered, flames and floods are raging on the vast land, and a huge monster with eight heads stands high in the sky. Each of its heads is a ferocious python, and wind, clouds, thunder and lightning are stirring around it. It looks like a god, but also like a devil.

That is the largest monster in Japanese mythology, Yamata no Orochi.

There were crawling figures on the ground, and all of them were kneeling on the ground, not towards the Yamata-no-Orochi in the sky, but towards the three figures in the front. Unlike the other gray or black figures, the three figures standing on the top of the cliff were dyed with blood-red paint and their outlines were outlined with gold.

The man in the middle wears a tall feather crown and holds a huge golden scepter. A naked goddess emerges from his back, holding a golden sun in her hand, and her long golden hair turns into the man's broad wings.

The woman on his left was wearing the most primitive wide-sleeved witch robe and holding a silver-white scepter. There was a white full moon in her right eye, and her face was dignified and majestic.

On the right is a mighty man with horns on his head, looking majestic and brave, holding a long samurai sword with the tip pointing directly at the head of the Yamata no Orochi.

"In the center is Amaterasu, on the left is his sister Tsukuyomi, and on the right is Susanoo, the legendary hero who slew the Yamata no Orochi." Chu Zihang pointed to the gold-rimmed figure in the center of the mural and said, "But this painting doesn't praise Susanoo. The protagonist of this mural is Amaterasu. The Yamata no Orochi family placed this mural so deep to imply that those with Amaterasu's destiny are born to be the leaders of the family."

"Amaterasu?" Caesar was stunned. "Isn't Amaterasu of the Snake Eight Clan the same elephant tortoise? No wonder he's been refusing to sell his sunscreen in France, saying he has an unshirkable responsibility on his shoulders."

"It's more than just responsibility." Chu Zihang withdrew his gaze from the entire mural. "Amaterasu was born as the 'Emperor' of the Eight Snake Clans. According to their records, the Emperor's bloodline is not restricted by the bloodline class list."

"Unrestricted?" Caesar was shocked. "What do you mean? Does that mean the dragon bloodline in his body exceeds 50%? But once the bloodline exceeds the critical blood limit, won't the hybrid become a deadpool?"

Bloodline class is a classification of the strength of mixed-blood bloodlines after the establishment of Kassel Academy. It is based on the classification of mixed-bloods' talents and abilities through the "3E" test upon admission, and is roughly divided into four levels: "A", "B", "C", and "D". Except for a very small number of people whose bloodlines are extremely excellent, they can get an "S" rating upon admission...but bloodline ratings are not absolutely unchanging.

Chapter 290 The Emperor of Mixed Blood!

As far as Caesar knew, the bloodline rating of Kassel Academy would be adjusted based on the students' performance after admission.

For example, although the blood purity of the directors on the board of directors may not be very high, due to their status and contributions, each director is of "S" level. For example, after entering the executive department, if the undergraduate college of "B" level performs well, it can be promoted to "A" level. This is very common.

There was also a loser who stayed in the class and refused to graduate. His performance was so terrible that Kassel Academy specially set up "E" and "F" grades for him, and even the unprecedented "G" grade.

But generally speaking, students who were rated as "A" grade right after entering school based solely on the purity of their bloodline were already considered geniuses among the geniuses in the mixed-blood world. Under normal circumstances, there were rarely more than a handful of "A" grade students in a school year, and "S" grade was an exception among exceptions.

Caesar didn't know the exact purity of Lu Mingfei's bloodline, but he estimated that it should be close to 50%.

Bloodline rating is a modern setting, but the "critical blood limit" has existed since ancient times. According to the records of "Abraham Blood Covenant", even Lu Mingfei or Menech Cassel, the most talented dragon slayer in the Secret Party era, whose excellent "S"-level bloodline could never exceed the critical blood limit.

The only way to cross the critical blood limit is to have a blood burst, but once an ordinary half-blood has a blood burst, it means that he is irreversibly degenerating into the direction of Deadpool.

"Huang will not become Deadpool. He is a hybrid beyond our comprehension." Chu Zihang said, "This kind of creature can legitimately violate taboos and cross the critical blood limit. Even if the dragon blood in their body exceeds 50%, they can still retain their self-awareness and will not be devoured by the dragon blood."

"Damn it, then, if you say that, then a creature like Huang is invincible?" Caesar said in disbelief. "Even if he has infinite blood, there won't be any side effects, right? Isn't that the real-life Super Saiyan? Speaking of which, does a Super Saiyan have its limits?"

This is so absurd that it completely overturned Caesar's understanding of life over the past twenty years, making him feel that these contents are even more ridiculous than comic books!

He simply couldn't connect that effeminate-looking guy who smoked women's cigarettes with the boundless, hot-blooded, manly Super Saiyan! If that guy was truly the Emperor or something, wouldn't he be a Tyrannosaurus Rex in human form? Caesar still remembered the story the guy had told him about the Pinta Island tortoise...

Is it really okay for a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex to compare himself to a tortoise rolling in a mud puddle? Aren't you afraid that if you get carried away and flip over, you'll lose control and roll away the mud puddle and the entire island!

No wonder when chatting with that guy, his words always revealed a sense of loneliness and isolation that no one else could understand. Caesar thought at the time that the Japanese were really so childish. They were already in their twenties and old enough to be fathers, but they still imagined themselves as unique and alien in the world like high school students... I didn't expect that this guy was really an alien among aliens!

But the supreme human emperor in the world of hybrids insists on describing himself as a silly and cute creature like a tortoise... isn't that too incongruous?

It's like when the evil cosmic emperor Frieza appears, he doesn't mention the hundreds of planets he destroyed and the billions of people he killed. Instead, he introduces himself warmly: "Hello everyone, my name is Frieza, and I'm a romantic Dragon Ball collector."

"In theory, his bloodline has no limits, and he can get infinitely close to the pure-blooded dragon clan, but his ability has limits. No matter how strong he is, he can never exceed the strength of the Dragon King level." Chu Zihang said.

Caesar was speechless after hearing Chu Zihang's words... It's impossible to surpass the strength of the Dragon King. That's so easy to say. What's the difference between that and no limit? Is the Dragon King something that human power can contend with?

This is like Buffett telling a salary-earning office worker, "My assets are also very limited. At most, they are only worth hundreds of billions of dollars."

This sounds like sarcasm no matter how you listen to it!

"Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Caesar yelled, his voice echoing off the massive screen wall. "Do you think such a thing as a super-hybrid really exists in this world? Even if they do, do you think that lazy idiot who dreams of selling sunscreen on a nude beach in France could be that one-in-a-million emperor? In what way does he resemble a natural leader?"

Caesar could not accept the fact that Yuan Zhisheng was a natural leader. He felt that a natural leader should be someone like himself, full of confidence and leadership, with clear goals for everything. Even if Caesar insisted that Chu Zihang was a leader, he would still admit it. Although Yuan Zhisheng had shown his leadership aura in front of Caesar, Caesar believed that aura was entirely derived from his identity as the young master of the underworld.

He has always believed that he is the best. After coming to Kassel Academy, where elites gather, only Chu Zihang can share a little of his glory... Then came Lu Mingfei, an "S".

Well, it took Caesar two years to finally accept the fact that Lu Mingfei was also very good, but Caesar felt that the gap between him and Lu Mingfei was limited, and he would definitely be able to surpass Lu Mingfei in time!

But now, a Yuan Zhisheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere! And told him that this thing was a bug in the world of mixed-bloods, an insurmountable chasm that Caesar could never overcome no matter how hard he tried! How could Caesar, who always believed that he was the best, accept this?

"It's indeed unbelievable, but don't forget, the Sheqi Eight Clans are descendants of the White King. The White King controls spiritual elements that the four great kings are not proficient in. The Emperor has inherited the White King's pure bloodline, so his spiritual power far exceeds that of ordinary half-bloods. Dragon blood cannot erode his mind, and he can simultaneously possess relatively powerful strength and an absolutely clear mind." Chu Zihang whispered, "If he is intentionally on guard, spiritual power-based words like 'Hypnosis' and 'Deep Dream Nightmare' should be ineffective against him."

"You possess power comparable to that of a dragon, with dragon blood flowing throughout your body, yet your appearance and consciousness are human?" Caesar murmured, and asked Chu Zihang with difficulty, "Can you compete with that guy after your blood bursts?"

"I don't know." Chu Zihang shook his head. "We haven't really fought each other, so everything is unknown. Perhaps we have overestimated Huang's power, or perhaps his strength is beyond our comprehension."

"There's the sound of water!" Caesar was suddenly startled. Kamaitachi brought back the sound, "It's coming from the bottom of Genji Heavy Industries. It's not the sound of water in the pipes, it's more like huge waves hitting the rock wall."

"Is it the Iron Dome Temple releasing water?" Chu Zihang said. "Calculating it, it should have been exactly an hour since we entered Genji Heavy Industries. The turbines stop for five minutes every hour. Given the size of Tokyo's sewers, the amount of water accumulated in five minutes is indeed a huge wave."

"But it wasn't just the sound of water." Caesar frowned. "I heard a swarm of low growls, like dozens of wild animals being released from their cages at once!"

"Maybe someone is watching TV downstairs? Or maybe there's some noise coming from a radio program?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I can still tell the difference between the roar of a wild beast and a TV show." Caesar's expression was a little serious. "It seems that this building hides more secrets than we imagined."

"We have to speed up. We don't have time to browse through the murals one by one here." Chu Zihang said, "We can only take these paintings away and analyze them slowly after returning to Takama-ga-hara."

"Take them away?" Caesar frowned as he looked up at the murals that were three people tall. "How can we take them away when they're so big?"

"Are primitive methods the only thing in your head, Alpha?" Chu Zihang pulled out a camera from his pocket and waved it in front of Caesar. "Don't forget, we are modern people."

"Camera? Where did you get it?" Caesar asked in surprise, not caring about Chu Zihang's counterattack.

"I happened to notice a waiter at the Takamahara restaurant taking pictures of drunken young customers with his camera, which is against the restaurant's rules." Chu Zihang opened the camera's waterproof case and adjusted the focus. "I threatened to report him to the boss, but he didn't want to lose his job, so he readily lent me the camera."

Caesar was shocked, thinking that the once stern president would actually threaten others? Chu Jun, you have really changed from the inside out after coming to Japan. Is this what they call "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

Chu Zihang found several angles, and the flash light lit up with the sound of "clicks" from the shutter, quickly capturing the important part of the huge mural.

"Isn't this the last mural behind this?" Caesar whispered. "Is it hiding a secret greater than that of the White King's descendants and the Emperor?"

"Go and take a look and you'll know." Chu Zihang said.

The two of them walked around the narrow gap between the screen wall and the wall. When they saw the scene behind the screen wall, they both retracted their steps and stood there in a daze.

Chu Zihang finally knew where the bloody smell he had smelled earlier came from.

An extremely strong smell of blood hit my nose. This was an extremely open space, with two huge screen walls standing on the north and south sides. The back walls of the two screen walls were covered with sticky scarlet liquid, which dripped slowly like asphalt without any signs of drying up.

This is a complete slaughterhouse!

Everywhere you look, there is blood, as if the entire space was dyed red. The fishy smell in the air is so exaggerated that it can almost penetrate the pores of the skin and get into the brain.

Caesar's flashlight swept across the ground, and he saw corpses piled up like mountains. They were all wearing black windbreakers, but now they were stained dark red with blood. Boxes of documents were scattered on the ground. These were the elites of the Executive Bureau. They were armed with guns in their arms, but they were ambushed by someone or something while moving the documents, and were all killed here.

Caesar subconsciously lit up his golden eyes, and Chu Zihang also wiped off his colored contact lenses, which meant that they had sensed danger and began to prepare for battle.

"That's the big freight elevator next to it that we first took, right?" Caesar pointed at the elevator they entered from the Iron Dome Temple. "When we got to this floor, the tortoise swiped our cards and we took the VIP elevator on the other side. These people took the freight elevator to this floor, and as soon as they exited, they were shot dead by someone hiding here. That's why we didn't see any blood along the way because their bodies were concentrated in this area."

Chu Zihang's bright golden eyes scanned the vast space, looking at several possible hiding places: "Is there anything alive on this floor?"

"Gone." Caesar shook his head. "There's no sound of breathing or heartbeats. Everyone here is dead."

Chu Zihang squatted down, lifted the black windbreaker of an elite member of the Executive Bureau, and stared at his neck and chest. "It's a terrible wound, running from the front of the neck all the way to the heart. There are jagged bite marks. It's a fatal blow, almost tearing the whole person in half. It's like being bitten by the most ferocious sand tiger shark, but this is land."

"Perhaps it has something to do with the beast noises I just heard?" Caesar suddenly thought. "Perhaps the crocodiles in the sewers aren't just an urban legend? Were these people mauled to death by crocodiles? But this place is between the 20th and 30th floors. How did the crocodiles get up here?"

"I'm not sure." Chu Zihang shook his head. "These people are still warm and their blood hasn't dried yet. We judge that they died not long before we arrived at this floor. But what is certain is that there must be some ferocious creature hiding in this building."

Caesar turned the flashlight, shining it onto the last screen wall. He looked puzzled. "Is this the greatest secret hidden by the Sheqi Eight Clans? A Tai Chi diagram?"

The light filtered through the layers of blood on the screen wall, revealing a gigantic Tai Chi pattern, with black and white fish blending together, and nothing else.

"This is the back of the screen wall." Chu Zihang looked at the Tai Chi wall that stretched across the entire floor without a single gap. "The front of the last screen wall image is on the other side of this wall. It seems that side is deliberately hidden. Neither the VIP elevator nor the freight elevator can reach it. The other side of the wall should be an independent space, accessible only by a dedicated elevator. Using that elevator must require extremely high privileges."

"This is quite unbelievable. I originally thought the guy who attacked those executive bureau officials was after the secrets of the Sheqi Eight Clan, but he just killed people without any paper documents." Caesar pondered, "And the most precious paintings are hidden on the other side, unable to be seen from here... So why did he kill these people? Is he some kind of pervert with a murderous habit?"

"There are many people with such quirks among the hybrids, but if he wants to hunt down the elite members of the Executive Bureau in Genji Heavy Industries... he must have at least the strength comparable to that of an 'A'-level hybrid." Chu Zihang said in a deep voice.

"Aren't we both 'A'-level hybrids?" Caesar froze, his expression grim as if he had suddenly realized something. "Someone killed these guys and ran away. Now there are only two of us left here..."

Chapter 291 Caesar and Chu Zihang's Dirty Tactics

"Damn it! So, aren't we the scapegoats of that perverted murderer? Could it be that this was a conspiracy to sow discord between us and the Sheqi Eight Clans from the very beginning?"

Thinking of this, Caesar's face looked as if he had just swallowed a dead fly.

"It must be just a coincidence." Chu Zihang's face was not looking good. "Our infiltration into Genji Heavy Industries tonight was a spur-of-the-moment decision. How could the killer have expected us to come to this floor at this moment? Besides, our relationship with the Sheqi Eight Clan is already bad enough. Do we need to stir up trouble?"

"In the past, it was the Eight Snake Families who were unilaterally shameless and owed us, but when it comes to human lives, the situation is completely different... Maybe this was designed by a high-ranking official among the Eight Snake Families. They can pin the crime of murder on us and get rid of us with justification." Caesar was getting deeper and deeper into the conspiracy theory.

"Anyway, whether this is a conspiracy or pure coincidence, there are only the two of us here and the bodies scattered across the floor. If someone suddenly comes up and sees this scene, we'll have no choice but to kill them... Otherwise, even if we had a hundred mouths, we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves!" Caesar said, "Is there a way to break through this last wall and take a picture of the final mural?"

"No." Chu Zihang knocked against the blood-soaked Tai Chi diagram wall with his Murasame, and a crisp sound was heard. "The previous walls were all made of limestone, with a Mohs hardness of less than 3.0. There were ways to break them. But this wall is made of a very special material, a bronze alloy with a Mohs hardness between 5.0 and 6.6. We don't have a blunt instrument, so it will be difficult to break it in a short time."

"How about using the Sovereign Flame?" Caesar suggested. "Given your current mastery of the Sovereign Flame, you should be able to melt this wall, right?"

"Jun Yan's main use is to create explosions. Although I can now apply high temperatures to inanimate objects, the melting point of bronze alloy is over one thousand degrees Celsius. If I want to melt this wall, I must activate Blood Explosion." Chu Zihang shook his head. "And if I melt through this wall, the mural on the opposite side will also be destroyed, which will defeat our original purpose."

"Also, we weren't the ones who killed those Executive Bureau officials tragically on the ground. If we leave now, we can still maintain our innocence." Chu Zihang said quickly, "But if I use the 'Jun Yan' and destroy the last screen wall of the Sheqi Eight Clan, leaving traces of my use of the Word Spirit here, combined with this scene of corpses strewn all over the ground, then we won't be the murderer anymore! Then we'll be the ones taking the blame for the real murderer, and we won't be able to clear our name even if we jump into Tokyo Bay!"

"This feels terrible! We are only one step away from the final truth!" Caesar cursed unwillingly.

"At least our gains tonight have exceeded our expectations." Chu Zihang walked to the freight elevator and said, "Let's leave quickly before anyone else reaches this floor."

"That's the only way. I wonder if we still have a chance to sneak attack Kaguya tonight." Caesar suddenly noticed Chu Zihang's strange expression. "What's wrong? Are you upset because you couldn't pry into the biggest secret of the Sheqi Eight Clan? Or are you worried because you have no idea which floor Kaguya is hiding?"

"No..." Chu Zihang's face looked a little ugly, "This elevator... seems to be out of order."

"A malfunction? It must have been the murderer's doing! Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence!" Caesar's face darkened. "We don't have access to the VIP elevator we took when we got here! There's no other exit here. We're trapped on this floor!"

Chu Zihang was also silent, thinking of a countermeasure quickly in his mind.
