Chapter 376: Yasukuni Shrine 4

"Those two Chinese people deserve to be sliced into a thousand pieces; they actually smashed the plaque of our Yasukuni Shrine, you idiot! Unforgivable!"

"Bastards! This is too much. I'm going to fight them to the death; even if I'm smashed to pieces, I must hack a piece of flesh off them."

"Let's go together, let's go! The dignity of Dongying cannot be trampled upon. Yasukuni Shrine is a sacred place that provides for the heroic spirits; it cannot be violated by Chinese people!"

The scene of Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng trampling on the Yasukuni Shrine plaque was broadcast to thousands of households in Dongying, instantly inciting public anger. In the hearts of the Dongying people, Yasukuni Shrine held a very special status; it was their spiritual faith.

Seeing Meng Yifan and the other person trampling on the Yasukuni Shrine plaque without restraint, many Dongying people were furious. Even knowing they were no match, they gathered in groups, raised their Samurai Swords, and prepared to fight to the death.

This area of Yasukuni Shrine had just been bombed by a Mushroom Bomb. Although the Protective Array had neutralized most of the power of the explosion, the surrounding area still had excessive nuclear radiation.

If ordinary people stayed in the vicinity for a long time, it would easily cause cell damage, subsequently triggering a series of stress reactions that would lead directly to death.

However, tens of thousands of Dongying people could no longer care about this; they felt that the shrine had been thoroughly trampled, which was something they could not tolerate.

There were over 14 million people in the Dongying capital, and at this moment, hundreds of thousands who were nearby rushed over in anger.

If one looked down from a satellite, they would discover that the streets and alleys of the Dongying capital were packed with angry crowds. Some held firearms, some brandished Samurai Swords, and others carried kitchen knives, rushing toward the location of Yasukuni Shrine in a mighty force.

Even knowing it meant death, they were not afraid, swearing to defend the dignity of the empire to the death.

It was not just the Dongying capital; large crowds in other cities were also driving cars, rushing toward the direction of Yasukuni Shrine.

Meng Yifan's act of smashing the Yasukuni Shrine plaque and trampling on it was like poking a hornet's nest, thoroughly infuriating the Dongying people.

However, Meng Yifan did not care about this at all. No matter who it was, as long as they dared to attack him, they were his enemy, they were Experience Value monsters, and killing them would yield Experience Value.

For these ordinary little devils, killing one only yielded zero-point-something Experience Value, but even a fly's leg is meat; by accumulating little by little, killing enough of them could also gather a large amount of Experience Value.

"Get out! Chinese people, you are not allowed to enter here." Inside Yasukuni Shrine, some Ninjas and Onmyoji who could still move were all brandishing their weapons, roaring in anger, wanting to drive Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng out.

"Those who block me die!" Meng Yifan waved his hand casually, a blade light flashed, and the dozen or so Ninjas and Onmyoji blocking the front were slashed into fragments.

Although the Ninjas and Onmyoji behind were terrified, they had been influenced by Bushido since childhood; for the sake of the faith in their hearts, they chose to fight to the death.

"Kill! Yasukuni Shrine cannot be violated!" The remaining Ninjas and Onmyoji all launched a death charge.

Fireballs, Earth Dragons, Ice Blades, Vines, Poison Mist, Shikigami—various Ninjutsu and Onmyoji arts stirred the wind and clouds, flying over from every direction.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourselves!" Meng Yifan gave a disdainful cold snort, then flicked his large sleeve. In an instant, a biting gale whistled, and the Ninjutsu and Onmyoji arts dancing across the sky were all blown away.

The small Wind Blades mixed into the gale also sliced all the remaining Ninjas and Onmyoji into pieces.

All the Ninjas and Onmyoji who dared to resist were wiped out by Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng. Inside Yasukuni Shrine, blood flowed like a river, and severed limbs and arms could be seen everywhere.

Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng strode forward, looking at the various war criminals enshrined within the palace, both of them burning with rage.

Many of the war criminals enshrined here were the executioners of the war of aggression against China back then, having committed crimes too numerous to record on the land of Shenzhou. They all deserved to be subjected to Lingchi, then cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell to suffer torture for all eternity.

Unexpectedly, the common people of Dongying actually regarded these butchers with blood-stained hands as heroes, openly offering sacrifices to them and letting them enjoy the incense of the human world.

Meng Yifan's eyes shimmered; while ordinary people could not see it, he could clearly see that attached to these spirit tablets bearing photographs were old ghosts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

These old ghosts had received incense and wish power for years and months, their soul bodies condensed. Many had the strength of Third-Grade Ghost Soldiers, and those fourteen Class A War Criminals had even become Rank 4 Ghost Generals.

Seeing Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng walk in, all the spirit tablets were shaking, and the entire Yasukuni Shrine was trembling along with them.

"Boom!" Following a loud noise, it seemed as if some Demon Cave beneath Yasukuni Shrine had been opened, and a thick Yin energy gushed out.

The weather, which had originally been clear and sunny, suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. The entire Yasukuni Shrine was filled with eerie Yin energy, surrounded by black mist, with Ghost Crying Wolf Howling, just like a Ghost Realm.

"Imperial soldiers, for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, heroically kill the enemy!" Tojo Hideki, whose strength was the greatest, was already a Fourth-Grade High-Level Ghost General. He was the first to walk out from the spirit tablet, and with a loud shout, he led a large number of ghost soldiers and generals to launch a charge.

"Damn! This really is a ghost nest; there are actually so many old ghosts." Meng Yifan was somewhat surprised. The strength of this group of ghost soldiers was very high, even more formidable than the group of ghost soldiers and generals he had in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty.

"The one in the lead is Tojo Hideki. It was he who planned the 918 Incident, planned and launched the full-scale war of aggression against China, causing countless families in our country to be broken and destroyed. This guy crazily touted the spirit of Bushido and specifically formulated the 'War Field Instructions,' advocating suicide after being captured. Many officers and soldiers, after being captured, would then commit ritual suicide without hesitation."

"Yet this advocate of suicide, after the defeat, acted cowardly and feared death. Many people asked him to commit suicide to atone for his crimes, but he was greedy for life and feared death. In the end, he was sentenced to hanging, struggling for 12 full minutes. After he died, his nose and eyes were covered in mucus and tears; it was truly a display of utter ugliness."

"For such a despicable person whose words and actions did not match, the Dongying commoners actually regard him as a great hero and pay him grand respects; it is truly ridiculous to the extreme."

After Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, he unleashed a Yang-Type Secret Technique. A ball of pure Yang Spiritual Power floated in mid-air, emitting rays of scorching white light. All the ghost soldiers and generals that approached were like being scorched by a blazing sun, one after another their souls scattered and dissipated.

Just as Meng Yifan and the other were slaughtering this group of old ghosts, suddenly, the earth trembled. An even thicker Yin energy rushed out from underground, and the white light ball emitted by Zhang Sanfeng had its radiance covered, unable to cause any more harm to the old ghosts.

The Yin energy within the entire Yasukuni Shrine increased sharply, becoming so thick it began to liquefy.

Patter, patter—within the area of Yasukuni Shrine, a rain of Yin energy began to fall. All the ghost soldiers and generals had their soul bodies greatly strengthened in this Yin energy rain, their strength soaring rapidly. The old ghost Tojo Hideki's strength was already infinitely close to Fourth Grade Peak, and there were even signs of a breakthrough toward the Fifth Grade.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Loud sounds came from underground. This sound was very unique, like war drums being beaten rapidly, and also somewhat like the heartbeat of a giant.

"This is bad, an old ghost comparable to Fifth Grade Peak is about to come out." Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng both had grave expressions. They felt that a terrifying big guy was walking out step by step from the depths of the black mist, and these Yin rains were all released by that big guy.
