355 Astonishing Development From Japan (2/2)

Nearly half of the Overlords in Japan had gathered together.

Kurome Shrine had sent all of their three overlords to this gathering.

These Overlords were scattered all over Japan: Hokkaido, Osaka, Tokyo, Kyushu, and Shikoku, just to name a few. Kurokawa Sho knew right away that something bad had happened after seeing all these powerful men and women arrived at his Judo.

”Lord Erika, are you here to discuss the ordeal at the Susano Shrine?”

”Indeed. Chen Beixuan has blatantly insulted us by all the bloodshed at the Susano Shrine. We can't let him continue this destructive path.” Lord Kurome said coldly.

Lord Kurome was a very peculiar looking middle-aged man with a pair of red eyes. He was an S-Level Overlord and possessed incredible Pupil Arts which allowed him to shoot out rays of burning energy from his eyes. Rumor had it that Lord Kurome had such unimaginable power because he was, in fact, an Illusion Form of the Demon God Kurome.

Lord Kurome seemed the most anxious to get rid of Chen Fan among all the attendees.

The chaos Chen Fan had stirred up at the Susano Shrine had unnerved Lord Kurome since Susano Shrine was superior to Kurome Shrine in nearly every measure. After he had learned that Chen Fan was gathering intel on other Japanese Shrines, he was outright terrified. Kurome Shrine was the closest to the Kyushu island, where Chen Fan currently was.

He feared that he would be Chen Fan's next target.

Therefore, Lord Kurome had sent urgent messages to all the Overlords in Japan, rallying them to join him and fight back against Chen Fan.

”Did you say that it was Chen Beixuan?” Kurokawa Sho gathered himself and asked with shock and disbelief.

Chen Fan garnered a lot of attention after he had killed many Grandmasters. During the very last battle, while he was in China, he stood against five Grandmasters and killed four of them, including Theseus the Phantom. Since then, he was ranked the third deadliest man on earth by the CIA and was considered as deadly as a fully equipped army. Slowly, a consensus started to form that Chen Fan was soon going to dominate the entire East Asia.

”Why would such a powerful Overlord come to Japan and cause such a racket and kill Lord Susano?”

”Chen Beixuan was only half-step away from reaching Immortal State and he was clearly after Lord Susano.” Lord Kurome said with a troubled face.

Ito Imi and the others nodded in agreement.

Only a Demon God as powerful as Lord Susano could have attracted the attention of Chen Beixuan.

”Lord Susano had nearly reached Immortal State and he also had the assistant of Chizuru Sensei and Takeda Sensei, yet they were still no match against Chen Beixuan?” Kurokawa Sho said in disbelief.

”Chen Beixuan's level of attainment was near that of an immortal, otherwise, he would not be able to use the Hypersonic punch. Those who managed to get out of the Susano Shrine alive said that Lord Susano was dealt with nine Hypersonic punches in a row before he died.” Lord Kurome said with a wry smile.

His words unnerved everyone as their faces became taut with concern.

They had believed that Chen Fan could only use Hypersonic punch once during a fight. However, the fact that he had used it nine times meant he could easily defeat everyone in this room even if they ganged up on him.

Of all the warriors in the meeting room, only Erika might have a chance countering Chen Fan's Hypersonic Punch.

”What should we do then? If Chen Beixuan really is so powerful, he could easily defeat us even if we join forces.” Kurokawa Sho said with furrowed brows.

He had kept what he really wanted to say hidden in between the lines and let the others ponder on it.

Even if they managed to bring down Chen Fan by joining forces together, Chen Fan's desperate attack would kill at least five or six of them. Who would want to mess with such a deadly man for Lord Susano who was already dead? No one. However, as renowned Overlords in China, they couldn't simply let Chen Fan do whatever he wants in Japan either.

”What does Ise Grand Shrine say about this? If they decided to stay out of this, we might have to petition the government to mobilize the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.”

Everyone was shocked after hearing the words.

The Self-Defense Forces were the only militia unit in Japan. Despite its small size, they were well equipped with modern weapons. Due to historical reasons, the Self-Defense Forces were used mostly as a showpiece. Its mobilization would invite the ire and condemnation of other countries such as China.

However, without using the self-defense force, no one in Japan could deal with Chen Beixuan.

However powerful Erika was, she ranked at the bottom of the Dark Roll and would be of no use against Chen Fan.

”Kurokawa San, we came to request Lord Takemiya's aid. We wish that he could help us kill Chen Beixuan and restore honor and dignity to the Japanese Martial arts community.” Erika took a step forward and bowed at Kurokawa Sho

”What? You want Sansei… he is almost a hundred years old.” Kurokawa Sho was taken aback by the request.

He then saw Lord Kurome and Ito Imi also rise to their feet and bow toward him. Kurokawa Sho knew that he would not be able to refuse this request. He pondered a while on it and then agreed that it might be the best option they had.

Heads were going to roll if his sansei didn't intervene now.

”Fine then.”

Kurokawa Sho sat down slowly and nodded.

His consent lit up everyone's faces with joy.

Takemiya Hiro, the Sword Sage was a legend in present-day Japan.
