Crossover Anime: Destroying Tokyo by One Person

Chapter 63 But I'm determined to go my own way.

"Let's stop here." Xu Yuan stopped.

This is a valley he encountered on his way here.

It would be quite suitable as a battlefield.

Having said that, he turned his head slightly and said to the little crow perched on his right shoulder, "Go to the side and don't interfere."

"Understood, Master."

The little crow flapped its wings and flew to the side.

Hayato Furinji turned and glanced at it.

Although he had long suspected that this bird was unusual, he never expected that it could talk.

He turned back to look at Xu Yuan again, shook his head and said, "Young friend, when will this cycle of revenge end?"

On the way there, he asked if their target was someone like them, a character from a story.

The answer was no.

If the target is a character in a story, he may not agree with their actions, but he can understand their motivation.

After all, what the other party said earlier might be true.

The rumors that they died but didn't really die, and that they would return to their original world, and that their existence would affect the stability of the real world, are all unfounded.

If what is said is true, then from the perspective of this world, the "unknown true nature" is undoubtedly a way of eliminating evil and protecting the righteous path.

But the target is not a character in the story.

In other words, it refers to humans in the real world.

He could neither agree with nor understand this.

"You even know Chinese idioms," Xu Yuan said.

"I know a little bit."

"Oh, but you're wrong," Xu Yuan said. "After I killed the other person, their relatives and friends came to seek revenge."

"That's what you call a vicious cycle of revenge."

"Because both sides will have legitimate reasons at that time."

"When right and wrong are confused, then revenge is the only thing that happens. When right and wrong are clear, how can we talk about revenge?"

"Is the one in the wrong also innocent?"

I advise you not to stir up trouble.

Hayato Furinji said, "Killing is ultimately an evil act."

When a person reaches this age, their thoughts are already very mature and stable.

It is not something that can be swayed by a few words from others.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything more.

At this point, the crowd of onlookers had shrunk considerably.

Because no one lives here.

Most of the pursuers haven't arrived yet.

As for the helicopters, many had been arriving from all directions along the way, and now they had gathered in large numbers.

However, they all hovered in the distance, not daring to approach.

Some of these helicopters came from television stations.

The photographers were excitedly snapping away, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Some of them came from the Japanese police and Self-Defense Forces.

They came here out of a sense of duty, but were completely at a loss as to what to do next.

Wouldn't it be a bit silly to shout "Put down your weapons"?

Besides, Japan's father is also there.

They have no right to speak.

That's right, some of the helicopters also came from the US military stationed in Japan.

However, it was a regular helicopter that arrived.

The order given above is to record.

From the American perspective, the fight between these two individuals is a valuable reference point in many ways.

To avoid misunderstandings, only a regular helicopter was dispatched.

After all, Hayato Fuurinji is easier to talk to.

Based on his character, he is a rule-abiding person who adheres to the principle of not killing.

In the eyes of those in power, those who follow the rules are not scary.

Because they are the rule-makers, those who follow the rules can never defeat those who make them.

What's scary are those who don't follow the rules.

For example, [the original text is unclear].

The US military's armed helicopters and fighter jets are ready to fight at the drop of a hat, and the key point is that he actually shot them down.

At that moment, helicopters from the Japanese police and Self-Defense Forces suddenly flew toward several entrances to the valley.

They received orders to seal off the valley and prevent the busybodies from entering.

Our gaze returns to the valley.

Clang...

A slight, drawn-out friction sound.

【Dai Zong】slowly emerges from its sheath.

A cold light flowed across the sword's edge, and the clear sword light resembled a bright moon rising in the valley.

I summon the bright moon, which shines upon my heart filled with ice and snow.

Xu Yuan held a long sword, and the sword and the man were alike, both exuding an indescribable awe-inspiring arrogance.

Standing in the field like a pine tree on a cold cliff, firm and unyielding as iron.

Hayato Fuurinji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Young friend, do you insist on fighting?"

"Further words are pointless, please," Xu Yuan said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared.

Like a dragon or snake rising from the land, it went straight for Hayato Furinji.

At that moment, countless people watching the live stream exclaimed in unison.

Fast! Too fast!

The distance of tens of meters was covered in the blink of an eye!

The so-called Olympic champion is a joke in the face of [unclear identity].

The strong wind generated by the movement stirred up dust on the ground.

The cold, sharp sword light cleaved through the dust like a dragon.

Facing the sword aimed straight at his face, Furinji Hayato roared, neither dodging nor yielding, and threw a punch.

"Countdown Jab!"

boom!!!

The immense and violent force of the fist instantly shattered the sword light.

Just then, a burst of intense flames suddenly erupted from the billowing smoke and dust, and golden energy, like electric currents, surged wildly.

There was a loud "bang"!

A fierce wind whipped up the rocks, sending them flying.

The ground instantly caved in, creating a large crater.

Xu Yuan had already vanished from his original spot, appearing instantly behind Furinji Hayato, thrusting out his long sword.

However, how could Hayato Furinji, who is close to the fourth order, not reach the speed of sound?

How could they not be able to react?

He twisted his waist and spun around, his right fist, clad in arm armor, sweeping horizontally toward Xu Yuan.

A faint white mist lingered around his arm.

"Fūrinji Temple - Right Arm Sweep!"

Hayato Fuurinji's martial arts style is "Kairyu".

That is, to create one's own school of thought.

Although there are some proper moves, most of the time it's just about fighting however you want.

They might even choose their names on the spot.

boom!!!

The energy surged, and the air roared!

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently!

The scattered wind pressure blew away all the trees not far away, uprooting them.

The residual force of that single strike was surprisingly powerful!

Just then, a transparent light shield made of dense, obscure runes instantly took shape.

He stood in front of Hayato Furinji's arm.

Bang-!

Hayato Furinji's arm struck the light shield.

The light shield dented instantly and shattered in less than a second.

A violent surge of energy rushed towards us.

It was as if a huge mountain was collapsing straight towards Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, defending himself while retreating.

Hayato Furinji also frowned slightly and took several steps back to dissipate the enormous force that had just come from the light barrier.

The power felt so familiar to him.

This made him realize what was going on immediately.

"It bounces back? It still works even when it's broken? It probably has about 80% of its power. What a troublesome move."

Furthermore, there seems to be something even more troublesome.

He hadn't released all his force just now.

It's not because it's impossible, but because it's unnecessary.

His powerful physique endowed him with remarkable regenerative abilities, allowing him to recover from minor injuries in the blink of an eye.

However, deflecting force can easily disrupt the rhythm of combat.

Especially when pursuing perfection.

It's like two swordsmen dueling. If one of them tries to avoid getting hurt at all, even minor injuries, such hesitation will only hinder the performance of his own abilities.

The right thing to do is to tough it out when necessary.

Moreover, a brutal, head-on clash of punches, every blow landing with a visceral impact, is what a martial artist with his powerful style prefers.

Hayato Furinji does not pursue perfect force dissipation.

When faced with a powerful attack, his habit is to deflect some of the damage and withstand the rest.

It will recover quickly anyway, it's not a big deal.

However, this time he miscalculated.

Several cracks appeared on my right forearm bone, and for some reason they couldn't heal.

Hayato Furinji clenched his fist and felt it.

"What a strange ability."

Protective shield, damage reflection.

It also has the ability to suppress the recovery of injuries.

Faced with an opponent he had never encountered before, Hayato Fuurinji's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

From a young age, he would go around challenging other martial arts schools and people, until he reached that lonely peak.

Then they found there was nothing there.

When he came to his senses, he had already turned into an old man.

But the fighting spirit within him never cooled.

At this moment, Hayato Furinji felt his blood boiling again.

However, he quickly shook his head regretfully.

If we wait a while longer, [Unknown Entity] will be a very good opponent.

Unfortunately, he's not ready yet.

……

The White House, United States.

The president was holding his favorite hamburger and cola, watching the live broadcast with a bewildered expression.

He had seen some information before.

Because the US military has dealt with [unidentified entities].

But at that time, the other party seemed to have used some kind of magic to interfere with the electronic devices.

Therefore, the information only contains some textual records.

Written records can be easily altered.

When he first heard the news, he thought it was some kind of April Fool's joke.

An armed helicopter was shot down?

Was a supersonic fighter jet shot down?

There wasn't even a single picture or video.

Who in their right mind would believe that?

He would never have believed it if there hadn't been many eyewitnesses present at the time.

And now, he has finally witnessed the extraordinary with his own eyes.

To be honest, he didn't see it very clearly.

Because it's so fast, so fast that it's hard for the eye to catch it.

All he knew was that the two sides seemed to have exchanged one move.

Then, the area around them was completely devastated, as if it had been ravaged by artillery fire.

Coming to his senses, the US president shrugged.

Very well, it's confirmed now. The White House security forces can't stop either of those two.

Faced with that inhuman speed and strength, an ordinary person probably wouldn't even have a chance to fire a shot.

Even if they fired, they probably wouldn't hit.

"Unbelievable, are they even human?"

In the office, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ordinary people are probably no better than ants in front of them, even if they have guns."

"My God! The ground has been torn apart!"

"This is outrageous! Are they super soldiers?"

"I can't even see their movements clearly; I'll probably have to watch a slow-motion replay later!"

"I saw that [Unidentified Entity] seemed to have released a protective shield, but that old man shattered it with a single punch!"

"That old man is clearly stronger!"

"Indeed, he only took a few steps back, but [the unidentified entity] retreated more than ten meters."

"I never expected there to be someone even stronger than him!"

"Not just stronger, but much stronger. This battle seems to have no suspense."

"I heard that old man's nickname is 'Invincible Superman,' and he really lives up to it!"

"Such strength is truly terrifying."

"What do you think, Mr. President?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, the US president shrugged and said, "Although that old man is stronger, I'm more interested in the [Unknown Entity]."

When asked why, he smiled but did not answer.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

It's because of magic.

Compared to martial arts, magic represents greater possibilities.

For example—healing, prolonging life, immortality.

Even ordinary people fear death, let alone those who lack nothing and haven't had enough of life.

Anti-aging, heart transplantation, cell regeneration, cryopreservation, gene editing, immortality of consciousness, and research on terminal illnesses.

In order to continue living, in order to live longer.

Every year, wealthy individuals spend lavishly on related research.

However, with current medical technology, many terminal illnesses cannot be cured, and the possibility of prolonging life and achieving immortality is even more distant.

But now, the emergence of the extraordinary and the magic seem to have made everything possible.

At this very moment, among those watching this live broadcast, the world's top elites are perhaps no less excited than ordinary people.

……

"It seems that [Unknown Entity] is no match for [Invincible Superman]."

"Nonsense! That's why he's called Invincible Superman!"

"One retreated more than ten meters, while the other retreated a few steps; the difference in their abilities was immediately apparent."

"Of course! In the comics, the elder is the kind of man who can blow up missiles with his bare hands and emerge unscathed!"

"【Unknown Identity】Isn't he supposed to know magic? He hasn't even used magic yet, has he?"

"That's right, it's absurd for a magician to use a sword."

"Perhaps it's a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?"

"Come on! He just used a protective shield, but Invincible Superman shattered it with a single punch!"

"Huh?! Really?!"

"If you don't believe me, watch the slow-motion version for yourself later."

"The difference in strength is quite significant..."

"How about taking to the air and using ranged attacks to wear down the opponent?"

"In that case, it's more likely that his magic will run out first, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

"What a pity, I didn't expect the difference in strength to be so great."

"I thought it would be a close match!"

"What?! [Unidentified Entity] isn't as powerful as I thought!"

"No, no, no, it's because Invincible Superman is too strong!"

"Indeed, it's not that [Unknown Entity] isn't strong enough, it's that [Invincible Superman] is just too powerful!"

During the brief standoff between the two, the internet buzzed with discussion.

……

In the center of the valley, Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

Although he knew there was a significant difference in strength between the two sides, he didn't expect it to be this big.

The psionic shield was shattered by the opponent's normal attack.

When there is a certain gap in strength between the two sides, it is possible to take the opportunity to hone one's skills. However, if the gap is so large, there is little opportunity for improvement.

Hayato Furinji glanced at his arm and said, "I didn't expect you to have such amazing skills, young friend."

"However, your strength is still insufficient at present, and you cannot pose a threat to me."

"So please go back today."

"When will this cycle of revenge end?"

"Why insist on going your own way, young friend?"

Xu Yuan glanced at him indifferently: "Is that so? But I'm determined to do things my own way."

After saying that, he let out a soft breath.

Then, with a thought, a surge of powerful demonic energy began to flow back into his body from his wings.

"Awakening of demonic power."
