"I still can't understand why the young master betrayed the family, because I trusted him so much, and I thought that if he was really surrounded after getting off the plane, I would risk my life to help him break through."

At the Hachike Shrine, several young men and women gather under a charred torii gate to gossip, and one of them, a boy who looks not very smart, has a weed in his mouth and holds the back of his head with both hands, feeling sad for his mistaken trust.

"I think the young master should have been wronged, and the expression on his face didn't look like a fake when he told us that the family might suffer a devastating blow when he was in the United States."

"Could it be that the young master's acting skills are too superb? After all, he wants to hide from the eldest patriarch who gets along day and night. ”

"Then what kind of underworld is he mixed in, isn't it good to go to Hollywood to make movies and be a big star?"

"That's what I said, if the young master becomes the patriarch in the future, if you want Hollywood actors and actresses to warm his bed, it's just something you can do with your fingers, why do you have to work thankless to give people unspoken rules."

"You said that the actress can be understood, why do you want to add the actor? Say, have you been broadened by someone?! ”

"Get out, disgusting Lao Tzu, be careful that my white knife goes in and the yellow knife comes out, and I help you unblock your intestines!"

"I'm in a hurry, he's in a hurry hahaha~"

A few unorganized and undisciplined classmates and teammates were giggling and laughing, and Wise Asuya couldn't help frowning, interrupting their laughter in a deep voice: "Okay, be quiet, we're here to carry out a mission, not a tea party."

After all, this is a family shrine, so you have to show the respect you deserve, and if the priests see it, be careful that they cut off your heads as sacrifices. ”

"Is it that exaggerated?" The young man who was talking and laughing was unimpressed, but he didn't say anything more to ridicule, and his voice was a little more restrained, so that it would not spread far and wide in the silent night.

It can also be seen from this that the wise Ashiya dominates this group of young people, and everyone is willing to sell him face.

Several of them are the geniuses of the younger generation of the Snake Qi Eight Family.,Although there is a little problem with this and that in terms of personality.,But the strength and potential are worthy of high hope.,Under the arrangement of the eldest head Tachibana Masamune,In the second half of this year, he went to the Kassel Academy to study with the young master Yuansheng.,Ready to make a name for yourself in the department.。

On the surface, they are the results of talent training shown by the Japanese branch to the academy headquarters, but in fact, they are trying to cover up the light of Gen Zhisheng, so that the attention of all forces focused on him is diverted, so as not to expose something that should not be exposed.

Originally, they learned that they were going to enroll in Kassel with the young master, and they thought that under his leadership, they would let the secret party know the power of the Japanese half-breed, but the eldest parents asked them to have as little contact with the source as possible, and with the strongest of them, the wise Asuya, as the backbone, they created a small group of flashes to focus the attention of the teachers and students of the whole school.

Although this feeling of being arranged to be a shield for others is very unpleasant, they don't have to obey the orders of the young master, and no one presses on their heads to make a fortune, and they can rest assured that they can boldly go to make trouble without worrying about stealing the limelight of the young master, they are naturally very happy.

According to the wise Asuya's plan, he will challenge the famous and surnamed powerhouses on campus one by one in the first semester of his admission, and by the end of his freshman year, his name will be imprinted in everyone's mind, and everyone else will only be reduced to a foil.

It's just that before he could act, the young master was targeted by the academy.

Fingal's punch in front of the public almost hit the ceiling, and also disrupted the plan of the wise Asuya, Yuan Zhisheng took a step ahead of him to become famous in the whole school, and in the future, he wanted to play a reputation of unparalleled swordsmanship or invincibility in close combat, so that all eyes would be on par with him, and naturally he would inevitably have a hearty fight with his own young master.

The members of the paparazzi who chased the wind and shadows would definitely use this matter to open the bet, and he had thought of the name of the handicap, which was called the stepping stone on the road to the top of the demon knife or the civil war of the outstanding genius of the Japanese branch.

Fortunately, when he returns to China this time, he no longer has to worry about how to cover the young master, and if nothing else, the young master should not be able to leave the shrine for half a step in his life.

"The members of the priest's team are all top thugs in their own family, and it's better not to touch their moldy heads." Wise Asagiya leaned against the charred torii with his sword, and his tiger eyes scanned the mountains and woods at night, looking for the hidden sentinel lurking within.

In fact, several of them are not official members of the Executive Board, and they are not qualified to participate in this mission, but unfortunately the family can't tell whether any of them have been rebelled by Yuan Zhisheng, so they are simply pulled to the shrine together to take care of them, and they are said to cooperate with the priest group to prevent someone from trying to rescue Yuan Zhisheng.

"Ah~ It's terrible." Hu Che, who was holding the grassroots, pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, turning his head to look at the twin sisters next to him, thinking about whether to ask the sister out after the mission was over and do something good for his physical and mental health.

Anyway, the other party is a water-based poplar woman, who has just entered the Kassel Academy and has already established impure friendships with several boys, so she should agree to herself.

"I'm so sleepy, people want to sleep." Twin sister Xiao Hui buried her head on her sister's shoulder, complaining about why it was not time to change shifts, and staying up late was a big taboo for girls.

Fallen Leaf was hugged by his sister, raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Hold on a little longer, and you can rest soon." ”

The time has come to four o'clock in the morning, some people sing and dance rap at this time, some people sweat on the basketball court shirtless, but more people are still immersed in sleep.

Yawning, Wise Asuya felt that there was a high probability that nothing would happen tonight, and the nerves that had always been tense relaxed slightly, and began to wonder how to slash Fingal under the sword after returning to the Kassel Academy.

At that time, he watched the duel between the two sides throughout the whole process, and felt that his strength was equal to that of those two, and if he put down his dignity and played some small tricks, he would not be able to say that the other party would have to die with hatred.

Just when everyone was slacking off because they were about to take a break from shifts, Hu Che suddenly asked, "Hey, is that someone smoking?" ”

Wise Asuya heard this, and looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a faint red light flickering in the mountains and forests not far away.

"Smoking in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of revealing your tracks?"

"That's it, professionalism is worrying."

Different from his teammates' complaints, Wise Asuya looked at the flickering red point of light, and a faint uneasiness appeared in his heart, the frequency of the light flickering was too regular, and the brightness was always consistent, not like smoking at all.

Just as he was about to say something, the red light suddenly disappeared, replaced by a burst of fire, and a burst of white smoke.

"Enemy Attack ——!!!" Looking at the cannonball that suddenly appeared in the air and flew towards the shrine with a long tail of flames, Wise Asuya roared and directly pulled the tiger next to him and rushed to the side.

The roar resounded through the deep mountain shrine where only insects chirped, and at the moment when everyone fell, a deafening explosion rang out, and the flames lit up Mt. Kobe on the outskirts of Tokyo.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ——!!!"

The explosions were one after another, and there was no intention of stopping, and the guards guarding the perimeter of the shrine were caught off guard and lost most of them, and the only weapons left on those people were pistols and katanas, which were almost like ants in front of cannonballs, scattering in search of cover.

The renovated shrine crumbled under artillery fire, the neat stone pavements and stairs were shattered, and the torii gate where Atsuya and Akechi Asuya were located received a cannonball, which was blown up on the spot and nearly crushed to death those who couldn't escape.

"Damn, where did the heavy firepower come from, are the people in the reconnaissance team eating fucking shit, the enemy has pulled the batteries under their noses and hasn't even found out?!" Hu Che got up and followed behind the wise Asuya, while dodging the artillery bombardment, he cursed and greeted the members of the reconnaissance team for the eighteen generations.

"Nonsense, someone must have killed you!"

At this time, Mt. Kobe could not be said to be under artillery fire, but it was also one after another, and the shrine was tragically attacked by the enemy on three sides, and only the road left had not yet been subjected to artillery fire.

But no one would choose to abandon the family shrine at this time and flee in embarrassment, it would only be a shame for their family and surname.

"Boom-" Another cannonball struck, and the hundred-year-old cherry tree enshrined at the shrine exploded into a dazzling spark, and the trunk was disconnected, and the upper half slowly fell.

The main hall, where the family meeting was held, was reduced to ruins under artillery fire, and the vermilion stone wall, which was a record of the shame of the past, was also blown down, leaving only a pile of charred rubble.

Seeing this, the leader of the priest group, who had just rushed out of the worship hall, picked up the bazooka and carried it on his shoulders without saying a word, and sent blessings in the direction of the enemy's artillery fire.

Behind the shrine, two helicopters slowly rose into the air, their hideous barrels spewing fire, and the enraged priest controlled heavy machine guns to shoot wildly in the direction of the enemy, and soon the Kobe Mountain was on fire.

Under the suppression of helicopter fire, the guards finally got a chance to breathe, took up arms and began to fight back, and some even began to rush towards the spot where there were still shells fired.

In addition to the shrine of the Snake Hachiya, there was also chaos in the schools and prisons that supervised the "ghosts", and in a certain church school, a young boy about ten years old was looking out with both hands on the iron railing of the window, and the orange-red fire was reflected in his eyes, as if he longed for freedom.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

"Dada-da-"

Gunfire resounded through the mountains of Kobe, and the priests took off their uniforms and reincarnated as the top thugs of yesteryear, carrying mortars on their shoulders and firing wildly with heavy machine guns in their hands, driving beast-like off-road vehicles into the forest.

Under the double bombardment of the air and the ground, the attackers' artillery fire completely stopped, and the battle was about to change from a high-burning explosion to a collision of cold weapons.

However, when the leader of the priest's team jumped from the car with a long knife in his hand, ready to lead the people to kill, he found that there were only a few blown up batteries in the mountains and forests, not to mention the corpses of the enemy, and even the stumps and severed arms and even blood could not be seen.

But before he could feel doubtful, a trembling that penetrated deep into his soul came from the bottom of his heart, as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast, and some great terror was coming.

"Drip-drip-drip-" In the cacophony of flames scorching flowers and trees, he keenly captured the sound of the countdown.

"This is ......" The pupils of the head of the priesthood team shrank, and intense horror flashed in his eyes.

"Quick, get out!" He yelled for the priests who had guns raised to guard against the survivors' sneak attack to evacuate quickly, but he was still a step behind, and the time bombs buried under the turrets and in the trees were over.

Serial explosions, endless firelight engulfed the members of the Eight Snake Qi clans who broke into the mountains and forests, no matter how strong their force was, it was impossible for them to survive this extreme explosion.

The helicopter, which maintained its fire suppression at high altitude, was intruded by a terrifying shock wave, and the fuselage shook violently and almost fell out of balance on the spot, but fortunately, the pilot's skills were excellent and he barely managed to maintain his balance.

Before he could rejoice, sparks burst from the top of the mountain in the distance, and the cannonballs with tail flames rushed towards his face, and without giving him time to react, the helicopter exploded in the air.

The other helicopter was not spared, and was hit after two consecutive dodges.

Countless planes fell from the sky, and several students of the Kassel Academy advanced course did not die with the current, but rushed to the cemetery behind the shrine in a reverse charge.

Wise Asuya knew very well that with the combat effectiveness of a few of their current students, it was impossible to compare with those priests who had experienced the baptism of war, and the attackers made such a battle, undoubtedly to rescue Minamoto Zhisheng, rather than rushing into the chaotic battle situation as cannon fodder and dying in vain, it was better to squat near the Zen room where Yuan Zhisheng was imprisoned.

During the run, he tells the only sniper in the squad to find a safe place to hide, and when the thief first shows up, he will shoot the opponent's head directly, and they will take out the others.

……

"Young master, is this your brother here to save us?"

In the meditation room, Yaksha listened to the furious gunfire outside, and a strange look appeared on his face.

One thing to say, the younger brother of the young master is really fierce, and he can pull up such a large rescue team in such a short period of time, and fight against the elite law enforcers and priests of his family for so long.

Yuan Zhisheng was also interrupted by the sound of a battle that suddenly resounded in the night sky, and got up and came to the door to listen to the movement outside, the expression on his face was a little complicated.

He has accepted the fact that the young girl is still alive, but he doesn't know how to face this brother he hasn't seen for a long time.

He couldn't let go of the fact that he had killed his brother, and he couldn't accept the bad news that his brother had succeeded in assassinating his father, he wanted to pull his brother's collar and ask why he did it, but when he thought that the immature girl was also a pawn used by others, he felt inexplicably irritable.

This ordinary meditation room could not stop him, even the brick and stone house could not trap him, and he was hesitating whether to take the initiative to open the door and confirm the name of a traitor, or wait for the young girl to kick open the door to help him be charged with a traitor.

"Bang!"

There were a few soft noises outside the door, sounding like a human body falling to the ground.

The sound of light footsteps stopped in the doorway, and the metal clash of keys could be faintly heard.

"Girl, is that you?"
