249: Chapter 249: Cleansing up the Sakura Country!

Sakura Country, Kyoto streets.

A colossal blood-red sword hung suspended above the city.

Lin Mo and the three others descended from the sword, like deities arriving in the mortal realm.

Amaterasu Hime looked at the familiar architectural style and writing below, a flicker of extremely complex emotion in her fiery golden eyes. She carried her newly sharpened Bone Katana, her voice tinged with a rare hesitation:

"My Lord... although this place is not the plane where I was born, it is, after all... a faint echo of my homeland."

"Could we... only punish the ringleaders, only suppress the resistance? The common people..."

She hadn't finished speaking!

"Shine! (Die!)"

A middle-aged man with a shaved head and fanatical eyes, like a mad dog, rushed out from an alley! He held a katana high in his hand! And stabbed fiercely towards Lin Mo's back!

Clang!!!

The tip of the blade struck Lin Mo's back, emitting the sound of clashing metal!

That katana, which was of good quality... snapped in two!

The man's tiger's mouth split, holding the broken blade, he looked at Lin Mo, who was completely unharmed and hadn't even moved a step, utterly bewildered: "Nani?! (What?!)"

Lin Mo slowly turned, his eyes cold. With a casual grab, he pinched the man's neck like he was lifting a chick, raising him off the ground.

"Why did you ambush me?"

The man's face turned red from suffocation, but he still struggled madly:

"Bastard! Baka yarou! Chinaman! Get out of our land! All Dragon Country people deserve to die!!!"

He pointed to the distant street!

There, a surging crowd! Their emotions were inflamed!

A man in an old military uniform stood on a car roof, roaring hoarsely into a megaphone:

"Ichioku Gyokusai! (One hundred million shattered jewels!)"

"All citizens are soldiers!!"

"Reclaim our lost glory! Attack Dragon Country!!"

The man clutched by Lin Mo, despite his difficulty breathing, showed a twisted, triumphant smile:

"Hehe... see that?... Hurry and let me go... otherwise, if I shout... these people... can tear you apart..."

"The times have changed... the world is in chaos... this is our Sakura's chance to rise... to reclaim the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'..."

Crack!

A crisp sound of neck bones breaking!

The man's words stopped abruptly, his head slumped weakly to one side, his eyes still holding a trace of mad triumph.

Lin Mo casually threw the corpse away, like discarding trash.

He looked at Amaterasu Hime, his gaze indifferent:

"Now, do you still think..."

"...there's a need to differentiate?"

Amaterasu Hime looked at the screaming crowd below, as if possessed by the ghost of militarism. Her last trace of hesitation completely vanished, replaced by cold killing intent and... a hint of shame.

She slowly drew her Bone Katana:

"It was I... who was too rigid."

"The hearts of the people here have been completely corrupted by Asura Devils..."

"Without thunderous methods..."

"It will not be enough to... rectify!"

As her words fell!

Her figure instantly vanished!

The next second!

She appeared beneath the base of that iconic Kyoto Tower!

Her Bone Katana was wreathed in terrifying metal manipulation power!

One strike!

A horizontal slash!

Ohm—crack!!!

An ear-piercing sound of metal breaking rang out!

The entire base of the iron tower was severed with one strike!

The massive iron tower let out a grating groan, slowly tilting and collapsing!

Boom rumble rumble—!!!

Like a towering pillar crumbling!

It crashed heavily into the nearby buildings, triggering a series of explosions and sky-high flames!

The immense sound and catastrophic sight instantly alarmed the entire city!

"Nani ga atta?! (What happened?!)"

"Terebi tou ga! (The TV tower collapsed!)"

Countless reporters and helicopters, like sharks smelling blood, frantically swarmed towards the scene!

A television station helicopter even boldly filmed up close, its camera firmly locked on Amaterasu Hime, who stood atop the highest part of the wreckage, holding her Bone Katana, her red hair fluttering!

Amaterasu Hime faced the camera, her fiery golden eyes cold and ruthless. Her voice, forcibly projected through her will into all receiving devices, resounded throughout the entire Sakura Country:

"My people..."

"You have been polluted by mad thoughts, forgotten reverence, and fallen to this extent..."

"From today onwards..."

"I shall, with the wrath of an Asura..."

"Cleanse this world!"

"To atone for your sins!"

Her Bone Katana slashed fiercely at the void...

Tear—!!!

A colossal dimensional rift, spanning the sky, was forcibly torn open!

On the other side of the rift!

Was a surging sea of blood! Endless instruments of torture! And countless twisted, suffering, hideous... Asura Devils!

"Roar!!!"

"Jie jiejie!!"

Accompanied by hair-raising roars and grotesque laughter!

An infinite number of Asura Devils!

Like the flood of the River Styx unleashed!

Poured madly out of the rift!
