Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 246 - 209: Imminent Peril, Hakko Ichiu Breaks the Concealment (Part 2)

A crowd had gathered, whispering and murmuring amongst themselves. There were even a number of Japanese police officers nearby, apparently trying to mediate.

At the center of the dispute were two groups of people.

One group consisted of Japanese men dressed in traditional clothing and wearing wooden clogs. The other was a group of fashionably dressed young people who looked like tourists.

"You Donghua pigs, get the hell out of Japan! Your country sent someone to invade our homeland! You’re not welcome here!"

The leader, a tall and burly Japanese man, shouted. He looked like he was about to lunge forward and grab the lead young man by the collar, but several Japanese police officers struggled to hold him back.

Yi Beidou began to understand what was going on.

These Japanese men were holding signs on which phrases like "Down with the invader!" and "Execute the Great Demon King!" were faintly visible. It was clear his actions had sparked protests among the Japanese public.

And these Donghua tourists had clearly been caught in the crossfire.

The young man leading the tourists clearly didn’t want to escalate the situation and was apologizing profusely in Japanese.

After all, they were in a foreign country and had to consider their own safety.

"Your own country can’t measure up, yet you take it out on us? Shouldn’t you blame your own Martial Artists for being too weak? What’s the point of bullying us? Mr. Yi is still running wild in your Tokyo. If you have any guts, go and defeat Mr. Yi! You’re just a bunch of spineless little Japs who bully the weak and fear the strong."

Behind the young man, a young woman, clearly unable to tolerate such humiliation, muttered in the Donghua Language.

"Baka! What did you say?!"

Behind the burly man, a tall, thin man’s eyes went wide as he spoke in halting Donghua Language.

He then pointed at the young woman and repeated what she had just said to his companions in Japanese.

"Baka!"

The conflict instantly escalated. The crowd of Japanese men became enraged, and this time, not even the Japanese police could hold them back.

"Apologize! You need to get on your knees and apologize, or we won’t let you leave here in one piece!"

the burly Japanese man roared.

At this, the young man in the lead finally snapped. All his previously suppressed anger erupted.

Born in a new era and raised under the red flag, how could he endure being bullied like this by a bunch of little Japs?

"Go on, try me if you have the guts! This isn’t the past anymore! I’m one of the Donghua People, and the era of us being weak and easily bullied is over! You little Japs, if you’re so tough, just try and lay a finger on me! Our embassy will back us up! Mr. Yi is a hero! He’ll represent all of us Donghua People, walk all over every one of your master Martial Artists, and defeat your nation!"

the young man shouted.

"Yi Beidou won’t be acting high and mighty for long! Mr. Tanaka will personally take action! You will witness the peak power our Japan once held!"

The Japanese man in the lead shouted, raising his fist as if to strike.

Standing off to the side, Yi Beidou considered revealing himself. After all, this incident had started because of him.

However, just at that moment...

RUMBLE!!

He snapped his head up toward the Sky. He suddenly felt the immense Great Trend surge from the void, as if a pair of eyes had appeared at an infinite height above. An utterly terrifying wave of pressure instantly crashed down upon his body.

The Demon Flame’s ability to distort magnetic fields was suppressed, and his figure was revealed in an instant.

FWOOSH!!

The Demon Flame erupted out of thin air before everyone’s eyes, burning fiercely. A tall figure stood within it, as immovable as a mountain.

In an instant, everyone—from the surrounding onlookers to the two groups on the verge of a brawl—seemed to freeze in place, as if someone had hit a pause button.

「Elsewhere.」

Tanaka Shoukichi’s eyes snapped open.

"The time has come."
