"I advise you not to resist, just obediently take the beating, after all, you're going to be in pain now."
Li Xuanzu spoke in a very arrogant tone, which greatly displeased Susanoo, who was blindly admired by the people of Sakura.
"Hmph, arrogant fool! I'll show you the true power of a God of Destruction!"
Susanoo's already exaggerated arm muscles became even more muscular, swelling like an inflated balloon, which was very disproportionate to his body.
"This sword is called the Totsuka Sword. It was named Ame no Habakiri because I used it to slay the Yamata no Orochi. I wonder if you can withstand my attack."
The longsword in Susanoo's hand had changed its appearance at some point.
"Huh? That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't only deities be awakened? How come these divine artifacts were brought out along with them?"
Amidst his confusion, Li Xuanzu stared intently at Susanoo.
To be precise, they were observing the Totsuka Sword.
"Prepare to die!"
Before Li Xuanzu could think further, Susanoo's enormous body pressed down on him like a small mountain.
"bite"!
Judging from the result of this clash alone, the blood-red longsword clashed with it again, and for a time neither side was able to gain an advantage.
Even the blood-red longsword in Li Xuanzu's hand was chipped with a small nick by the Ten-Fist Sword.
Although it quickly returned to normal, this also proves the sharpness and hardness of the Totsuka Sword.
"Going all out from the start, without holding back at all, are you just a reckless fool?"
Li Xuanzu frowned as he looked at the long sword in his hand, somewhat speechless.
That's not entirely wrong. In mythology, Susanoo killed the Yamata no Orochi because he was attracted to the beauty of another man's daughter. Calling him a brute wouldn't be wrong.
Blood's advantage lies not in its hardness, but in its flexibility and versatility. In terms of hardness alone, it is naturally inferior to the Totsuka Sword, which is second only to the three sacred treasures of the Japanese mythology.
But Susanoo's strength just now was clearly all-out, and the fact that he can't organize a second effective attack shows that.
He was panting heavily, and the muscles in his arms had returned to their original state. His hand holding the Totsuka Sword was trembling slightly.
"I'm just here to weaken your gods a little bit, why are you acting like you're about to die?"
That's what they say, but when Li Xuanzu cut off Susanoo's arm with a blank expression, he didn't hold back at all.
"Aaaaaah! You...you're asking for it!"
Susanoo's severed arm fell to the ground and quickly dissipated.
A deity cannot be separated from his body; otherwise, like Susanoo, the severed part would dissolve into the heavens and earth.
The one who spoke was the young man who had summoned Susanoo.
His limbs were covered in blood and connected to the blood on the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Come at me if you have a problem! If I, Nakazawa Toshihiko, were to blink, I wouldn't be human!"
The young man also gave his name.
"Are you crazy? If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already. What are you yelling for? This is none of your business."
Li Xuanzu ignored the other party and cut off Susanoo's other arm.
Whether it was because it could endure pain or because it felt no pain, it did not utter a sound even after losing both of its hands.
"Alright, take your time to repair yourself and try to participate in the Chosen One event. As for that Nakazawa Toshihiko, take him and get lost."
"Oh right, take this woman away. I need to have a word with Kenji Matsumura."
Li Xuanzu, acting like the host, dismissed the group.
As the restraints on Nakazawa Toshihiko disappeared, just as he was about to step forward, Susanoo suddenly stood up, transforming into a golden aura that burrowed into his body.
It's unclear what he heard, but he stopped in his tracks, which were originally heading towards Li Xuanzu, and instead walked towards Mitani Hisako.
After silently saying "excuse me," Nakazawa Toshihiko picked up the scantily clad Mitani Hisako and didn't stop no matter how much she struggled in his arms.
It seems that Susanoo knew Li Xuanzu's strength and realized that the other party did not intend to go on a killing spree, so he stopped Nakazawa Toshihiko.
"Destroy the country, or organize all the people in the Sakura Country who can donate blood to provide me with as much blood as possible every six months."
Li Xuanzu appears to be giving the other party a choice, but in reality, there is only one option from beginning to end.
"I...we will provide you with blood every month..."
After a moment's internal struggle, Kenji Matsumura gave the answer he had prepared long ago.
"Be sensible. I'll come to pick it up in ten days. I don't want you to have any excuses then."
"If you don't believe me, I suggest you look up what happened in those divine kingdoms across the Mediterranean."
Li Xuanzu kindly helped the other person up from the ground.
The huge height difference made the scene somewhat comical.
The good thing about Japan is that they defeated Japan in one fell swoop. Although they may have some ulterior motives, at least they haven't dared to utter a single word in the near future.
Having learned from his experience in the Sai Kingdom, Li Xuanzu acted much faster in the Sakura Kingdom.
Go straight to the heart of the nation, find its highest leader, use him to force its deity to appear, and then beat him up.
If they are not convinced, kill some people; if they are still not convinced, kill more, until He is convinced.
There is no such thing as a deity standing idly by while its worshippers are persecuted; as mentioned earlier, these are their "parents."
The worshippers are their only connection to the world.
Li Xuanzu left only a few blood servants with a certain level of intelligence in the Sakura Kingdom before returning to the Dragon Kingdom.
He originally planned to go directly to the next divine kingdom, but the world of the chosen ones is very long, and Li Xuanzu doesn't need to be in such a hurry.
Upon returning to the Dragon Kingdom, Li Xuanzu immediately sought out Elder Huang.
"Next, we can go to the Nordic region. It's close by and has a stronger historical foundation. The gods there were awakened earlier. However, it seems that the church there is making some moves."
"Christianity, a very ancient religion, seems to be able to summon some supernatural entities, which our people cannot yet figure out; it's too mysterious."
Huang Lao and Li Xuanzu were sitting in Zuixianju, with a large world map spread out in front of them.
"Yes, pull them all out in one go, and keep a close eye on the other few divine kingdoms."
"Of course I will. I won't say anything cheesy, but thank you anyway!"
"Look at what you're saying, it's just a matter of each getting what they want. Alright, I want to go back and see Fu Yu."
Looking at Elder Huang's solemn expression, Li Xuanzu couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Haha, I understand. It's nothing important. You can go back now."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm leaving."
Li Xuanzu left Zuixianju without even turning his head.
... ...
"Hey, isn't this our busy man? What brings you back to see my poor, helpless wife, all alone at home?"
As soon as Li Xuanzu opened the door, he heard Fu Yu's sarcastic voice.
It's not her fault. Li Xuanzu disappeared early in the morning, and when asked, they found out he had gone to the Sakura Kingdom to deal with the gods.
"He promised to take me yesterday, you liar."
When Fu Yusheng is sulking, he always puffs up his cheeks, which is quite amusing.
