Even if those three could transform into Ultraman, the messenger of light, or superheroes like Superman, and kill their enemies bravely, if even one or two of these huge monsters with sharp teeth and sharp mouths sneaked into the shore of Tokyo, the residents of the city would suffer... Thinking of this, Xiao Qianxingheiji collapsed completely in the chair like a piece of rotten meat with the soul drained out.
"Tokyo is over... Tokyo is over... No one can escape... Everyone will die..." Xiao Qianxingheiji repeated this sentence to himself. The governor of Tokyo had lost all hope.
A sharp palm wind sounded beside Xiao Qian Xingheiji's ears, and then it was followed by a powerful slap, which made Xiao Qian Xingheiji's whole head tilt. Severe tinnitus came, and his head was buzzing. Xiao Qian Xingheiji looked at Qianxue Yuki in a daze, as if he didn't expect why the other party would suddenly slap him so hard.
Kozeni Yukiheiji knows that Chiyuki Yuki's identity is not simple, but as this woman has been diligent and respectful to him as his secretary over the years, it is better to say that he and the Sheqi Bajia are in a mutually beneficial relationship rather than a puppet of the Sheqi Bajia. The Sheqi Bajia needs Kozeni Yukiheiji's identity to provide them with convenience, and Kozeni Yukiheiji also needs the support of the Sheqi Bajia to consolidate his position in the political arena... But now Chiyuki Yuki suddenly has this attitude towards him. Does this mean that the Sheqi Bajia is going to break up with him and abandon him?
"Mr. Kozenigata, look at yourself now. Do you even look like the governor of Tokyo?" Chiyuki Yuki said coldly to Kozen Yukiheiji. "This is your city. The people in this city are suffering, but what about you, the leader? If you look so dejected, what about those helpless people trapped in this disaster? How can they cope in such a desperate situation?"
After saying that, Chiyuki Yuki took out her mobile phone, clicked on a video, and then placed the video in front of Kozenagata Heiji.
The picture on the mobile phone screen shows the streets of Tokyo. At this time, the accumulated water on the streets has submerged the pedestrians' knees. The roads are bustling with people and the traffic is jammed. Vehicles whose engines are submerged are stranded in the water and cannot move forward smoothly.
The crying of women and children and the shouting of men came from the receiver of the mobile phone. Negative emotions were spreading wildly among the crowd in this city like a highly contagious plague.
"This..." Xiao Qian Xingheiji looked at the panicked and desperate crowd. The children were hiding in their parents' arms and crying. Xiao Qian Xingheiji's face wrinkled as he saw it.
"What should I do?" Xiao Qianxing Heiji asked Qianxue Yuki for help.
"Control your emotions and tell the people of Tokyo in a resolute tone that the disaster will be resolved soon and that Tokyo will not fall in this catastrophic disaster," Chiyuki Yuki said to Kozeni Yukiheiji. "Remember, don't show even a hint of fear in front of the people of Tokyo. If you can't control your emotions, drink more and remember to speak with confidence."
After hearing what Chiyuki Yuki said, Xiao Qianxing Heiji took a few big gulps of tequila in his hand, but he found that the alcohol still could not dispel the fear in his heart. In this situation, if he spoke to the people of Tokyo, it would probably only have a counterproductive effect.
Chapter 618 The Governor and His Father
"What should we do?" Zenigata Heiji looked at Chiyuki Yuki in despair.
"A Tokyo governor like this can't bring hope to the people." Chiyuki Yuuki looked at Zenigata Heiji and slowly shook her head. "Because deep down you can't believe Tokyo can be saved. You know more about the situation than the average Tokyo citizen, so you're filled with even more despair than they are. If you were to speak to the entire city right now, I'm afraid it would have a serious counter-effect."
Kozenigata Heiji sighed deeply. He knew in his heart that Chiyuki Yuuki was right, but that was human nature. After seeing the things projected by EVA, Kozenigata Heiji couldn't deceive himself into believing that the city could survive this disaster safely... But he couldn't even deceive himself, so how could he deceive the people of Tokyo?
Besides, Kozenigata Heiji is not a great people's leader in essence. He is just a politician and an actor. He works hard to win over all parties in the political arena and maintain his identity and status. In addition, he is good at acting in front of the people, but he can't do it at all at the moment. Even top actors need emotional involvement, but in such a desperate stage, Kozenigata Heiji can only perform sad plays.
Just when Kozenigata Heiji was at a loss, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and it was a special prompt tone... Different from ordinary contacts, this was a special incoming call ringtone that Kozenigata Heiji set for someone.
Kozenigata Heiji quickly took out his cell phone and looked at the contacts displayed on the screen. The corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably... Mitsuko, that was his daughter. Apart from her career and status as a politician, his daughter Mitsuko was probably the thing Kozenigata Heiji cherished most.
"Mitsuko?" Zenigata Heiji picked up the phone and answered it. He asked anxiously, "Mitsuko, where are you? Are you safe now? Is your mother with you? Have you talked on the phone?"
There was a faint sobbing sound coming from the other end of the phone. It was a girl's voice. Chiyuki Yuki had met Kozenigata Mitsuko, the girl of Kozenigata Heiji. The girl was still in junior high school. She was not good in both character and study. She had a bad personality and even learned to smoke, skip school and fall in love early in junior high school... Of course, most of the reasons for this were that Kozenigata Heiji, as the governor of Tokyo, was too busy on weekdays and neglected to discipline his daughter.
In fact, the relationship between the daughter and Kozenigata Heiji cannot be said to be very good. Most girls of this age in Japan are still in a very rebellious stage, and of course they cannot understand their parents' good intentions at all. Therefore, most of the time, Kozenigata Heiji gives unilaterally to his daughter. However, the Tokyo governor is indeed quite talented as a politician and actor. He is not a qualified father. Kozenigata Heiji is not very good at expressing his feelings to his daughter. He thinks that many things can be settled with money. Therefore, Kozenigata Heiji has always only wanted to get a higher position in Japanese politics so that he can bring a more stable and prosperous life to his family.
But at this critical moment, his daughter's safety cannot be guaranteed. Even though Heiji Zenigata does not know how to express his emotions, his sense of responsibility as a father bursts out.
"Mitsuko, Mitsuko, don't be afraid... This disaster will soon be over. You'll be fine, and neither will Dad and Mom..." Zenigata Heiji held the phone, trying to comfort her. "Mitsuko, Dad promises you that after this is over, Dad won't force you to become a politician anymore... If you don't want to study, you don't have to. Haven't you always wanted to be a jewelry designer? Dad knows a famous jewelry designer in Tokyo. Next week, Dad will send you to learn jewelry design from that uncle, okay?"
"Gunshots? Why are we hearing gunshots?" Zenigata Heiji clutched his phone tightly. "Are there terrorists causing trouble in your area? Guangzi, are you okay? Oh oh... I'm glad they're far away, I'm glad they're far away!"
"Don't cry, Guangzi, don't cry." Zenigata Heiji's face was about to wrinkle. "Hide somewhere higher, don't stand on the edge of the terrace. Daddy will send someone to pick you up... Guangzi, don't be afraid, Daddy will send someone to pick you up by helicopter right away!"
The call ended, but Heiji Kozenigata was still unable to calm down. He looked at Chiyuki Yuki for help. The eyes of the Tokyo governor were full of pleading... It was obvious that Heiji Kozenigata wanted to fulfill his promise and send someone to take his daughter to a safe place by helicopter.
"Governor, you should know that this request is unrealistic." Chiyuki Yuki slowly shook her head. "You are well aware of the current situation in Tokyo. If it were about saving you, it would be fine. But you also know that the government will not grant your request for an additional helicopter for your daughter. National resources are extremely limited at this moment, and helicopters are probably being used to transport the Prime Minister, members of Congress, and chaebol heirs."
Kozenigata Heiji's face looked very ugly, but he knew that what Chiyuki Yuki said was right. Although on the surface he was the governor of Tokyo, a powerful and influential figure in this city... but Kozenigata Heiji knew better than anyone that he was just a not-so-important figure who was dealing with various forces, the prime minister, the parliament, the underworld... He could be replaced by many people, but because he had good acting skills, was obedient enough, and was easy to manipulate, he could sit in this position safely.
But in fact, Heiji Kozenigata himself has no real power, no status, and even no wealth. Even when some business bosses invite him to dinner and ask him to do things, Heiji Kozenigata has to look at Chiyuki Yuki's face before considering whether to agree or refuse... But this itself has nothing to do with Chiyuki Yuki, because Heiji Kozenigata knows that Chiyuki Yuki is essentially the same as him. They are all people who work for big people. Living in this materialistic society, no one can control their own destiny. Even if you sit in the position of governor of Tokyo or secretary, it is even more difficult to make a decision than ordinary people.
After a moment's silence, Zenigata Heiji seemed to have made up his mind. He finished the last of the tequila in his hand and said to Chiyuki Yuki, "Connect to the Tokyo channel and start broadcasting to all the people in Tokyo."
"Mr. Governor..." Qianxue Yuki frowned slightly.
"I'm ready." Zenigata Heiji raised his head, looked at Chiyuki Yuki, and said seriously, "Hurry up and broadcast... while I'm still in shape."
Chiyuki Yuki looked at Zenigata Heiji. This was the first time in her years as a secretary that she couldn't fathom the Tokyo Governor's thoughts. After a long silence, Chiyuki Yuki turned to the people at Ganliu Research Institute and said, "Open the channel! The Governor is about to start the broadcast."
The people at the Ganliu Research Institute submitted an application to EVA to start a real-time broadcast to the whole of Tokyo.
EVA hacked into all the media channels in Tokyo. This time, Kozenigata Heiji's speech was connected to all TV broadcasts, car radios and radio broadcasts, and the live broadcast on mobile phones could also be listened to... Now most people in Tokyo are fleeing, and those who have cars have turned on their car radios. Those who don't have cars or are inconvenient to use cars are also paying attention to the disaster situation in Tokyo in real time, so this is a real broadcast facing all the people in Tokyo.
"Good evening, citizens of Tokyo. I am Heiji Kozenigata, the Governor of Tokyo," he said in a deep voice. "I am sorry and ashamed to speak to you on this evening."
Chiyuki Yuki nodded on the side. This was a common opening remark used by politicians. The speech was quite standard, at least there were no mistakes. However, Kozengata Heiji was indeed a powerful actor among politicians. In such a simple speech, Chiyuki Yuki suddenly heard some sincerity in it.
"Regarding this unknown disaster in Tokyo tonight, I'm sorry I can't offer any professional advice. I'm neither a meteorologist nor a geologist, so I can't make irresponsible remarks." Kozengata Heiji paused. "But I want to tell you that I'm still in Tokyo, and I'm in the city proper. I have no plans to flee the city, not just because I'm the governor, but because my daughter and millions of other citizens remain here."
Chiyuki Yuki silently applauded Kozenigata Heiji. If Kozenigata Heiji's opening remarks could be considered above average, then this section of Kozenigata Heiji's speech was of very high standard and could be described as full of sincerity. The dignified governor of Tokyo did not choose to escape or seek refuge, but chose to stay and face all this like ordinary people in Tokyo. This was undoubtedly a powerful shot of adrenaline in the hearts of the citizens.
"It wasn't just me; the entire building's technical staff stayed behind, too. Honestly, I was practically despairing at that point, but thanks to their presence, we were able to drain 70% of the tsunami water within ten minutes. This was all thanks to the support of these technicians." As he spoke, Kozenigata Heiji turned and bowed deeply to the staff from the Equipment Department and the Iwagakure Research Institute. Standing, he continued, "And then there are the disaster relief experts. Unbeknownst to anyone, they've already quietly rushed to the front lines of the disaster. They're mostly international friends, willing to risk their lives for this city. As the Governor of Tokyo, I sincerely thank them and admire them for everything they've done for Tokyo tonight."
Chiyuki Yuki nodded affirmatively to Kozenigata Heiji. These speeches of extraordinary quality have laid a good foundation for today's lecture. As long as Kozenigata Heiji can maintain this level in his subsequent speeches, regardless of whether he can stabilize the emotions of Tokyo citizens, at least Kozenigata Heiji's position in the political arena will definitely be stable.
Chiyuki Yuki quickly edited a paragraph on her mobile phone and handed it to Kozenigata Heiji. The content on the phone was "You can end the part of playing the victim. Next, as the governor of Tokyo, you will make a promise to the citizens of Tokyo"... Chiyuki Yuki's meaning was very clear. The first half of Kozenigata Heiji's speech had created enough empathy, but blindly being sensational would not work. Keeping the people in a depressed mood would cause many problems. Next, Kozenigata Heiji needed to change his tone and mobilize the emotions of the citizens of Tokyo with an impassioned tone. In this way, Kozenigata Heiji would be able to establish the image of a glorious and majestic savior in the hearts of the citizens, and the purpose of this speech would be achieved.
However, what followed was indeed an impassioned speech by Kozenagata Heiji... but the content made Chiyuki Yuki change her expression.
"At this point, I can no longer make any strong promises because I cannot deceive these innocent citizens." Xiao Qianxingpingci said word by word.
Chiyuki Yuki was stunned, and the people of Tokyo were also confused. Those who heard this broadcast had no idea who the governor was talking to.
"I feel sorry for the people of Tokyo. As a leader, I failed in my duty to protect them. There are many fathers like me and children like my daughter Mitsuko in this city who simply cannot escape this precarious city," Kozengata Heiji said unexpectedly. "There are limited avenues for survival, but in the face of disaster, everyone is equal. This is what we often call human rights... But all I see are desperate people filling the streets, people frightened and furious, children crying in their parents' arms..."
"What's the reason for this? Because all the convenient transportation has been taken up by those high-ranking figures or wealthy corporations. They've earned their money and relied on the people's support to achieve their current status, yet they abandoned everyone without a second thought when the people needed them most." Kozenigata Heiji's tone grew increasingly agitated. "Do these people still have any sense of morality? Do these people still have any conscience? You're simply the scum of society! Borers to the government!"
Chiyuki Yuki realized that something was wrong, and she quickly signaled the people at Ganliu Research Institute to cut off the broadcast communication, but Kozenagata Heiji stopped her with a wave of his hand.
"Don't interrupt, let me speak, I must speak! I've been the governor for so long under the control of those people, I've endured it for so long! But I'm not going to endure it anymore today!" Kozengata Heiji put one foot on the table and picked up the wine bottle as a microphone, "I'm talking about you, Prime Minister! And the members of the Diet, the bigwigs of the chaebol! You use the convenience of your status to call for government helicopters. Those vehicles were originally used to save people. Do you know? I can't apply for a helicopter to save my daughter Mitsuko, but you are qualified to occupy social public resources and take your entire family with you. What gives you the right? What qualifications do you have? I have worked diligently for you all these years, respectfully licking your shoes, but in the end you can't even protect my daughter!"
Chapter 619: Ange vs. the King of Corpse Guard
"I've decided not to leave now!" Zenigata Heiji screamed at the top of his lungs, "I won't leave even if you give me a chance. Even if a helicopter stops in front of me and begs me to get on, I won't leave!"
"Because my daughter is still in Tokyo, because there are still tens of millions of people in this city who haven't been able to evacuate. And those who abandoned everyone and only cared about escaping, you cowards, you weaklings, you cowards with no courage and no conscience..." Xiao Zenigata Heiji cursed at a rapid speed, spit flying everywhere, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration and grievances he had suffered over the years in front of the people of Tokyo. "I'm telling you, I've been fed up with you for a long time. You all act so domineeringly and arrogantly. What gives you the right? Isn't it just because you have a few coins in your pockets? You are all rich, but you are more stingy than anyone else. You have money and status, but your lives are just as sad!"
"Because you live without dignity, on behalf of all the people of Tokyo, I despise you from the bottom of my heart... Bah!" Kozengata Heiji spat fiercely.
"Mr. Zenigata, I must remind you." Chiyuki Yuki couldn't help but whisper to Zenigata Heiji, "Do you realize what you're saying? You're ruining your own future."
"Fuck my bullshit future! I don't even know if this city can see the sun tomorrow, how can I care about my future?" Zenigata Heiji blew his beard and glared, "Let it be ruined. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of playing around. I don't want to be in the same boat with those hypocritical hypocrites anymore. I don't want my political life anymore! If this city is going to be destroyed today, then I will be destroyed with it! You irresponsible old foxes, you can run away if you want, but I tell you, as long as I, Zenigata Heiji, stay in Tokyo, I will be the governor of Tokyo. I have sworn to live and die with this city!"
Seeing the almost insane, even crazy state of Kozengata Heiji, it was like watching a well-behaved puppet suddenly go crazy and break the silk strings that controlled him... Chiyuki Yuki took a deep breath and then sighed deeply.
This speech has completely gone beyond the controllable scope. No one knows whether the people of Tokyo will become more desperate or go crazy with the governor after such a speech by Kozenigata Heiji, but there is no doubt that Kozenigata Heiji is sliding further and further into the abyss of self-destruction... Chiyuki Yuki doesn't want to care anymore, nor can she care. She can only watch the governor act recklessly, thinking in her heart that after everything is settled, if the disaster in Tokyo can be resolved safely by luck, the governor of this city will probably have to be replaced.
"And those terrorists who took advantage of the situation! Are you still human? Do you still have a heart? You have done such a heartless thing, your family and friends are all dead, right!" Kozenigata Heiji cursed loudly, regardless of his image and even desperately, "I warn you, you'd better stay away from my daughter Mitsuko, stay away from the citizens of Tokyo, if you have the guts, come at me! Have a fair duel with me, Kozenigata Heiji, frown and I'm not a man of the Kozenigata family! I tell you, I was a fifth-degree black belt in judo before I ran for governor. Tighten your belts if you want to find me, I'm at the Tokyo Meteorological Center..."
Chiyuki Yuki rushed forward, covered Kozenegata Heiji's mouth, and threw the irrational governor to the ground. Chiyuki Yuki turned to the people at the Ganliu Research Institute and said, "That's enough. The broadcast ends here. Cut off the channel."
The people from Ganliu Research Institute nodded and applied to EVA to interrupt this farcical lecture. Kozenagata Heiji was still struggling unwillingly in Chiyuki Yuki's shackles, like a mad bull.
"Wake up, Mr. Zenigata," Chiyuki Yuuki whispered in Zenigata Heiji's ear. "You revealed our location to those terrorists, and then what? They come with guns and kill us all. After all these technicians die, who will solve Tokyo's flooding problem? After you die, Mr. Zenigata, who will take care of your daughter Mitsuko?"
These simple words brought the irrational Heiji Kozenigata to his senses. When he thought of his daughter and the Tokyo residents who were in dire straits, Heiji Kozenigata collapsed powerlessly on the chair. His face was dejected, and he looked like a strong wrestler who was left with only humiliation and shame after his cowardly nature was exposed.
He messed up, he messed up everything... After Kozenigata Heiji regained his senses, he realized that this speech not only failed to give the citizens of Tokyo courage and confidence, but it might even have the opposite effect. It was just like an incompetent governor crying and venting his anger about his sad political career. Not only that, he also offended almost all the bigwigs in the political circle. From now on, he would not even be qualified to be a puppet. The name Kozenigata Heiji would be completely blacklisted in the Japanese upper class.
"You're too impulsive," Chiyuki Yuki said to Kozenagata Heiji. "Not only will your remarks not help you in your campaign for the next Prime Minister, but they'll probably completely ruin your career as Governor."
"Yes... I understand." Heiji Kozengata responded tiredly like a stag with broken antlers.
"But I have to say, this is the only time I've admired you since I became your secretary," Chiyuki Yuki said seriously to Kozenagata Heiji. "Your remarks are not what a qualified politician should say, but you are a responsible governor, an excellent father, and a real man... I have a new respect for you."
……
Umi no Mori Park is a small island ten kilometers away from Tokyo.
"Sonar detected an extremely large creature behind the group of shrine guards. It's comparable in size to a blue whale... or even larger," Sakurai Nanami reported rapidly to Ange. "It's rapidly approaching the Sea Forest Park. It looks like it might be targeting us."
"I can see it." Ange pointed to the huge object approaching them at high speed on the distant sea. He frowned slightly. "So what on earth is this thing?"
"That's also a Corpse Guardian, a Corrupted Dragon." Chu Zihang explained to Ange, "To be precise, it's a dragon-shaped Corpse Guardian. We've seen this creature in the 'Abyss Plan'. It's the 'King' of Corpse Guardians. Unlike other Corpse Guardians, this one is crafted from the corpse of a pure-blooded dragon, so its power is vastly different from that of ordinary Corpse Guardians."
"This thing is very difficult to deal with. We were almost wiped out by it. The one we saw in the 'Abyss Project' should be the guardian of the ancient underwater city 'Takama-ga-hara.'" Caesar's face was not happy. "If, as we previously speculated, there is more than one ancient city under the sea, then there may be more than one of these creatures!"
"Have you ever fought something like this?" Ange looked at Caesar and Chu Zihang. "How did you survive?"
Ange didn't know the details of the "Jiyuan Plan", but he could hear from Caesar and Chu Zihang's narration that the operation was definitely more dangerous than he had imagined... However, apart from the astonishing number of corpse guards, Ange had never expected to encounter such a thing on the seabed. These guys were actually able to escape from the pursuit of such a thing. Ange was not ashamed to ask them for advice.
"Nuclear power module." Chu Zihang said, "We launched the nuclear power module before it could reach us. The King of Corpse Guardians and Takama-ga-hara were destroyed by the nuclear explosion."
The corners of Caesar's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a versatile nuclear power cabin... Chu Zihang had used this excuse once. Just now, when Principal Ange asked them how they escaped from the craze of corpse guards, Chu Zihang also used the excuse of the nuclear power cabin explosion to prevaricate. However, Caesar couldn't think of any better excuse. After all, they couldn't confess to the principal that the corpse guard king was solved by Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Eri after they turned into a dragon.
"'Seven Deadly Sins'." Ange said lightly.
Chu Zihang understood what he meant, and he quickly carried over the sword box containing the "Seven Deadly Sins" that was placed on the open space in the Sea Forest Park.
Ange returned Caesar's Dick Tudor hunting knife to Caesar, then handed his own folding knife to Chu Zihang, and patted the two students on the shoulders.
"Principal, is it necessary to give us the feeling that you have made arrangements for your final affairs?" Caesar couldn't help but complain.
"Have you recorded your last words in Norma's system?" Chu Zihang's words were even sharper.
"Can't I hope for the old man a little more?" Ange shook his head helplessly. "Although I don't mind dying on the way to slaying a dragon, I certainly don't want to die here. Because in my eyes, that big guy is not a true dragon at all. It's already dead, but it was summoned by the 'God' and revived. If I can choose how to die, at least I want to die in the battle to stop the White King. Only then will I be willing."
"Principal, that dragon-shaped corpse is a very dangerous creature. Feng Mojun and I will assist you together." Sakurai Nanami took the initiative to volunteer to Ange.
"Master Sakurai." Fuma Kotaro called out to Nanami Sakurai, and slowly shook his head at her. "It's useless for us to participate in a battle of this magnitude. It will only hinder the principal. We should focus on stopping the snake-like corpse guards and solve the principal's worries."
Ange nodded slowly to Fuma Kotaro. He had to admit that the old patriarch's strength was indeed not as good as his, but Fuma Kotaro's overall view and understanding of the battle situation were indeed quite outstanding.
Ange pulled out the dormant "Wrath" and "Jealousy" from the sword box of the "Seven Deadly Sins". He slowly turned around and faced the surging group of corpses and the dark sea... and the behemoth in the sea that was about to reach the small island of the Sea Forest.
"I'll leave the rest of the snake-like corpse guards to you, as well as my back. You have to hold on at least until the refined sulfur bombs are delivered." Angé clutched Wrath and Jealousy in his hands and whispered, "Action!"
As soon as the words fell, several groups of people took action at the same time. Caesar and Chu Zihang rushed out on both sides of Ange. They were the people Ange trusted the most, so it was natural for them to be responsible for Ange's back. They would be responsible for dealing with the corpses closest to Ange.
Kotaro Fuma, Nanami Sakurai and the ninjas of the Fuma family act as cover for the three people. If defined according to the roles in Japanese shogi, Ange is undoubtedly the "general" among the crowd, Caesar and Chu Zihang are the "Dragon King" and "Dragon Horse" among them, Kotaro Fuma and others act as "Kai Ma", "Xiang Chariot" and "Infantry".
At the moment when the dragon-shaped corpse guard arrived at the Sea Forest Park, the sea tide surged into the sky, the towering waves almost covered the sky, and a huge black shadow jumped out from under the water. For a moment, Ange couldn't even judge the specific size of the other party... Maybe it was more than ten meters, maybe more than twenty meters, but there was no doubt that Ange looked extremely small in front of it. Not all dragons can reach such a huge size. Only the ancient pure-blooded dragon species can grow into such a majestic giant.
The figure of the giant dragon soaring into the sky was ferocious and agile. It was a huge body wrapped in bones and scales. Only rotten flesh remained among the bones and scales, and even the blood and meridians were no longer there. However, its posture was still so noble, and its body with a golden ratio could not help but make people awe-inspiring. This ancient and great creature is almost immortal. They are recorded in myths and legends, revered as gods and feared as ghosts. Humans who can see the true appearance of this creature with their own eyes are undoubtedly lucky and sad.
However, this creature was not facing an ordinary hybrid. It was facing Hilbert Jean Angers, one of the most powerful hybrids in the world, a legendary dragon slayer, and the leader of the secret party.
The "Time Zero" domain was instantly activated, and the flow of time was slowed down dozens of times in an instant. The lightning branched out in the sky. In the slow domain, Ange could clearly see the full appearance of the Corpse Guardian King through the lightning.
That huge head, that ferocious body, those densely packed and strangely shaped bones, and the pairs of ancient candle-like eyes hidden in the bones... Those were the corpse guards hiding in the body of the rotten dragon, most of them concentrated in the abdomen, and some even in the hollow chest cavity and head. There were at least hundreds of corpse guards gathered.
These corpse guards were not Ange's target. At this moment, all the monsters that were moving in slow motion in front of him were ignored by him. Ange only had eyes for the huge corpse guard king, which was his only target.
Ange started running upwards from the tail of the dragon. He stepped on the rotten dragon's bones as if they were stairs. The rotten bones made a "crunching" sound under his feet. He held the broadsword-like "Rage" and the Tang sword-like "Jealousy" in his forehand and backhand respectively.
Ange broke the waves raised by the dragon-shaped corpse, and the sea water shattered around him, turning into millions of still water droplets.
Chapter 620 The Violent Old Man
Ange stepped on the protruding skeleton on the back of the Corpse Guardian King and ran all the way to the neck of the rotten dragon. Ange didn't know what drove the giant monster under his feet, but based on his previous experience in fighting dragons, there were only two ways to kill these huge creatures... beheading or piercing their hearts.
But the heart of this rotten dragon was already a rotten cavity. Without a heart for Ange to pierce, the only option left was beheading.
The two knives, "Rage" and "Jealousy", slashed fiercely at the neck of the King of Corpse Guardians. The dark golden arcs of light from the two knives fell at the same time. Even in the realm of "time zero", Ange's knife-swinging movements were still extremely swift. Perhaps this was the reason why his speed could surpass Inuyama He's "Ninth-Level Moment". If we only talk about speed, there is probably no swordsman in the world who can match him.
The blades of "Rage" and "Jealousy" slashed fiercely at the skeleton connecting the head and body of the Corpse Guardian King. A harsh friction sound was heard, and fine sparks were rolled up between the sharp blades and the black iron bones. The two long swords with the ultimate alchemical craftsmanship left two conspicuous grooves on the Corpse Guardian King's cervical vertebrae, but unfortunately, this blow did not completely achieve the goal of beheading.
Speed is indeed Ange's strong point, but strength is not. The dragon bones of pure-blooded dragons are extremely tough and can withstand wind and frost without dying. The skin, flesh and internal organs of this corrupt dragon have all decayed, but its scales and skeleton are still strong. Even under the concoction of ancient alchemy, the bones of this corrupt dragon are as solid as fine steel.
Ange felt a burning pain in the knuckles of his hands, and the huge reaction force shook his body away from the neck of the Corpse Guardian King. At the same time, the "Time Zero" field was forced to be lifted, and the slowed down time returned to its normal flow rate.
At the moment when time returned to normal, a tremendous murderous intent surged in. It was a large number of corpse guards that rushed out from the body and skull of the corpse guard king. These bloodthirsty monsters smelled the tempting smell of blood that was emanating from Ange. The monsters rushed forward, as if they were vying to share the old man with two swords.
For Ange, this was indeed a fatal crisis. His attack was just being deflected at this moment, and the force on his body had not been released yet. For a moment, he had no chance to free his hands to resist the group of corpse guards or to fight back... If he used the power of "Time Zero", it could be easily resolved, but the domain of "Time Zero" had just been lifted the moment before. If it was forcibly activated again at this moment, perhaps the King of Corpse Guards would not be able to stop it, and Ange's body would be on the verge of collapse.
However, just as the group of corpse guards rushed out from the body of the Corpse Guard King and were about to surround Ange, blazing flames and bat-like wind monsters arrived in time and forced the group of corpse guards back... Caesar and Chu Zihang "exploded blood" at the same time. The two of them were definitely a strong backing. Since Ange had entrusted his back to them, the two of them would never let anyone other than the target interfere with their commander.
After stabilizing his body, Ange took a deep breath. He looked at the Corpse Guardian King at his feet with a serious expression. The torso of this rotten dragon that had been sleeping for a thousand years was harder than he had imagined. But before Ange could catch his breath, a huge vibration followed.
The huge body of the Corpse Guardian King fell heavily on the small island of the Sea Forest Park. The road surface of the entire island was shaking. The Corrupted Dragon roared to the sky. This creature no longer had a trachea and vocal cords, but for some unknown reason, it could still emit earth-shattering roars. The sound carried a mountain-like pressure, especially in the ears of the eight families of Sheqi. It seemed as if their souls were trembling with fear from the roar... That was the oppressive force from his bloodline. When this Corpse Guardian King was alive, he was also an extremely great existence in the lineage of the White King.
Wherever the Corpse Guard King went, he overwhelmed countless Corpse Guards. He did not care about the lives of his subordinates. Even though he might still have some consciousness, they were already dead. Dead things certainly did not know how to cherish life.
The King of the Corpses spread his enormous bone wings at the edge of the Sea Forest Park. The cast iron wing tips left hideous cracks on the hard ground. The bone wings stirred up a violent hurricane. In the wetland forest of the park, those precious century-old fir trees were uprooted and blown to the ground by the strong wind. The army of Corpses, including the ninjas of the Fuma family, were blown off their feet by the storm stirred up by the giant beast.
At this time, Sakurai Nanami finally understood what Fuma Kotaro said. Fuma Kotaro's dissuasion was definitely not to destroy his prestige. This kind of creature was indeed not something they could contend with. Just the residual power of its anger made them feel so troubled. If it was not Ange but them who were contending with the King of the Corpses at this moment, I am afraid they would be in danger with just this one blow.
The Corpse Guardians used their thick snake tails to wrap around the skull and cervical vertebrae of the Corpse Guardian King to prevent him from being thrown out. Ange used the blade of "Jealousy" to insert into the ribs of the Corpse Guardian King to find a support point and prevent himself from being thrown away by the tumbling giant beast.
The best opportunity has passed. Under the current circumstances, the only way to break through the Corpse Guard is to attack the head and neck of the Corpse Guard King, which will be very difficult. Ange fixed his eyes on the bone wings of the Corrupted Dragon. This is the most powerful and troublesome part of the Corpse Guard King. The huge bone wings can give it strong mobility and attack power. If it is allowed to swing its wings at will, it will inevitably cause a considerable blow to the people of the Eight Clans of Sheqi.
After the Corpse Guardian King had completely stabilized himself, Ange pulled "Rage" out of the Corrupted Dragon's ribs. He stepped on the dragon's skeleton and jumped high into the air. In mid-air... the old man actually made an astonishing sword stance in mid-air, "Niten Ichiryu"!
And it was not an ordinary "Niten Ichiryu", but the Niten Ichiryu that Ange used when he passed the "Ten Fighting" trial and became a sword master. In this state, the two swords of "Rage" and "Jealousy" were tightly grasped by Ange in his front and back hands. Ange's legs were separated by a distance of one and a half shoulders, his eyes fixed on the front... One of the bone wings of the Corpse Guardian King, the two swords drew a full crescent-shaped edge beside him.
