Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Leveled to the Ground

And the energy within their bodies, which was just about to erupt, was forcefully suppressed by that layer of black light.

Seeing that he couldn’t even self-destruct in front of Yang Tian, Miyamoto Sword Saint roared angrily, "Yang Tian! What more do you want?!"

"Oh?"

A trace of mischievousness flashed in Yang Tian’s eyes as he curled his lips into a smile and said, "Of course, I want the Japan government to properly witness your so-called mighty imperialism!"

...

This year seemed to be an eventful autumn for Japan.

Not long ago, Uekizawa Shou, the newly ascended divine-level expert of Japan, was slain by Yang Tian from China at the summit of Mount Fuji, even blowing apart its peak.

And now, yet another thunderous piece of news resounded across Southeast Asia, and even the international stage.

Japan’s spiritual symbol, the Jinggou Shrine, which the Japanese inevitably pay homage to every year, was razed to the ground overnight!

If the previous slaying of Uekizawa Shou was a heavy slap in the face of Japan’s cultivation world,

then the destruction of Jinggou Shrine was nothing short of stomping brutally on Japan’s national pride!

As for the audacious figure behind the destruction of Jinggou Shrine, no one even needed to guess—it was Yang Tian!

It must be noted that ever since Yang Tian was confirmed as a god-level expert, the eyes of all informed individuals around the globe were locked firmly on him.

They naturally knew Yang Tian hadn’t yet left Japan!

So who else but him could have the audacity and strength to obliterate Jinggou Shrine?

Shortly thereafter, more detailed information reached their ears.

The elites of Japan’s three great forces—the Divine Spirit Sect, Samurai Way, and Ninja Sect—were all buried within Jinggou Shrine, and the mastermind behind it was none other than the strongest martial god of China, Yang Tian!

At the same time, the Japan government finally issued an official response: The Jinggou Shrine in Japan had suffered a terrorist attack. The government of Japan had already evacuated all residents of Eastern Capital, where the shrine was located, sealed off the city, and would soon deploy the national military to suppress the situation. They vowed to ensure this incident remained confined to Japan and caused no international disturbances!

As soon as this news broke, the international community erupted into chaos.

Those who knew the truth were well aware that the Japan government had finally decided to take action against Yang Tian!

And the so-called internal containment without international disturbances essentially meant that Japan’s authorities were resolute in their decision to keep Yang Tian in Japan for good!

"Have you lost your mind?!"

At what was once the ruins of Jinggou Shrine, Qing Luan almost roared at Yang Tian, who was sitting cross-legged before the remains of the only hut left standing.

Beside her, Red Wolf’s expression was equally conflicted.

The two of them had been assigned by the Dragon Group to keep an eye on Yang Tian in Japan, but they never expected that right after slaughtering Uekizawa Shou, Yang Tian would proceed to blow Jinggou Shrine to smithereens!

As citizens of China, they did feel an immense satisfaction at the destruction of Jinggou Shrine, but the reality was dire.

The truth was that the Japan government was now enraged and prepared to strike against Yang Tian.

Jinggou Shrine.

Every Chinese person knew that it wasn’t merely home to the idols of numerous historical figures of Japan but also harbored memories of atrocities committed decades ago.

Thus, every time the news reported that the Japanese had once again gone to worship at Jinggou Shrine,

the collective voice of condemnation from China would explode, and every Chinese person dreamed of one day blowing this detestable shrine to pieces!

But why hadn’t China ever taken such a step? Why hadn’t any Chinese martial artist done it?

The reason was that Jinggou Shrine held too deep a significance to Japan!

To touch Jinggou Shrine was to provoke the entire nation of Japan and risk sparking war!

This was a step for which China was not prepared!

The martial artists of China, too, would never take such a reckless gamble!

But now Yang Tian had not only done it but done it so thoroughly!

This left Red Wolf unsure whether to admire Yang Tian or scold him.

However, mindful of the grave situation at hand, Red Wolf quickly stopped Qing Luan from yelling further at Yang Tian and spoke in a weighty tone: "Mr. Yang, do you realize that the Japan government has already dispatched forces to suppress you?"

"I don’t know. But I assume as much!"

Yang Tian, still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, replied nonchalantly.

"You know? You know and yet you still bombed Jinggou Shrine?"

Upon hearing his response, Qing Luan disregarded Red Wolf’s restraint and snapped, "Now what? Sure, you’re incredible, you’re a hero for China, but what’s next?"

"Let things take their course," Yang Tian said with a smile.

"Take their course, my ass!"

Qing Luan was so infuriated by Yang Tian’s attitude that she nearly passed out from anger. She retorted, "Do you have any idea that you’re about to become a martyr? And you’re telling me to go with the flow? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the captain’s urgent orders telling us to get you out of Japan immediately, you think we’d bother with you? Hurry up and stop acting tough—come with us and maybe you’ll live to return!"

"Yes, Mr. Yang, if we delay any further, it’ll be too late!" Red Wolf quickly chimed in, urging him.

But in his heart, there was only an icy despair.

Because everyone knew that the Japan government had now sealed off all of Eastern Capital. Forget people, not even a single fly could escape.

So Qing Luan and Red Wolf had come to Yang Tian with a willingness to accept death, determined to bring him back to China!

For in the current state of China, their deaths wouldn’t matter, but losing Yang Tian was out of the question!

No matter how Qing Luan and Red Wolf played the bad cop and the good cop, however, Yang Tian remained motionless, his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged.

The only change was the increasingly unstable aura emanating from him, giving off the sense of a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment!

Was he cultivating?

Seeing Yang Tian cultivating even in a situation like this, Qing Luan, whose temper was already on edge, completely exploded!

She flipped her hand, and a cyan flame appeared in her palm.

Red Wolf, taken aback, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Can’t you see our great hero Yang doesn’t want to leave?"

Qing Luan snorted coldly, "Though I hate to admit it, China cannot lose him as our martial god. So even if we must use force, we’ll take him away!"

Use force?

Against whom?

The man before them was none other than China’s strongest martial god, Mr. Yang!

Red Wolf, hearing Qing Luan’s words, immediately covered his head, dumbfounded.

But soon, a layer of red light emanated from his body as he nodded. "There’s no other way!"

Saying this, the two of them swiftly closed in on Yang Tian, ready to forcibly take him away while he was deep in cultivation.

But just as they were ten meters away from Yang Tian, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

That aura was like the snort of a slumbering giant dragon exhaling in its sleep.

Though seemingly indifferent, it was far beyond what any mortal could withstand!

In an instant, the flame in Qing Luan’s hand extinguished, and the red glow on Red Wolf’s body vanished. Both of them were flung backward by the sheer force of the aura, crashing to the ground in stunned disbelief.

"This... this... how is this possible? Just the aura from his cultivation repelled us?" Qing Luan exclaimed, her face pale with astonishment.

Red Wolf, too, wore an expression of utter shock!

"Go back!"

As the two of them sat in shaken awe, Yang Tian opened his eyes again and said indifferently, "Do not disturb me!"

Disturb him?

Hearing these words, Qing Luan was on the verge of exploding yet again.

But Red Wolf grabbed her by the arm and said, "If Mr. Yang is unwilling, we cannot forcibly take him away. Reporting back to the captain is our top priority!"

"Fine then!"

Qing Luan snorted coldly, reluctantly agreeing.
