Chapter 924 901: The Shrine Was Bombed!
Another muffled sound echoed, and the Japanese people inside the shrine were stunned. What on earth was happening?
However, before they could react much, a series of explosions resounded from outside again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ten-plus specially made grenades Ren Feng had placed earlier exploded at this moment. An artificial hill suddenly blasted apart, turning into stone debris, and countless clumps of dirt splattered across the ground.
The soldiers standing guard around screamed as they were blown away, landing harshly on the ground.
Not far away, a wooden plank also exploded directly, and the entire shrine echoed with thunderous blasts.
Everyone else felt the ground shaking, and the deafening explosions engulfed them.
The journalists broadcasting live outside were suddenly stunned, as they also sensed the abnormality inside.
A Huaxia journalist uncertainly said, "A muffled sound came from inside the shrine. I can feel the ground shaking now, as if an explosion has occurred!"
In the camera lens, a part of the shrine's ground suddenly heaved up five or six meters!
The Prime Minister and others present in the shrine turned pale, and at that moment, a surge of energy burst out from beneath the prayer mats!
Right then, two figures swiftly appeared beside the crowd, and the instant the explosion occurred, they opened their protective shields.
Boom!
Under the gaze of everyone outside, the shrine's most central hall, where war criminals from World War II were enshrined, erupted with a thunderous sound. A towering flame shot up, causing the buildings to collapse as though they were made of tofu, crashing downwards!
The hall was blasted!
Everyone outside was dumbfounded, and their minds seemed to go blank, unable to process it!
Damn, the hall exploded?
The Prime Minister is still inside, isn't he?
The flames shot up nearly ten meters, and the journalists stretching their necks to see reacted as well; there had definitely been an explosion inside the shrine!
The video feed transmitted back home, and those watching were equally stunned.
"Damn! Did it really explode?"
"Hahaha! Retribution!"
"Good riddance!"
Countless netizens clapped in delight, and Bai Wanqi of the Southwest Military Region's eyes also twitched.
In the live broadcast, the inside of the shrine was full of continuous explosions.
Xiong Hao's eyes widened, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in them—did it really succeed?
At this moment inside the shrine, the officers responsible for guarding outside realized what had happened.
"Quick! Everyone, get over there!"
The soldiers around rushed toward the shrine that had turned into ruins, and suddenly, the hall that had become ruins burst open once more. The overwhelming energy blew all debris away.
Ren Feng's pupils contracted; by the Prime Minister stood a silver-haired man and a woman.
Ren Feng quietly nudged Guo Yilong: "Mission accomplished, prepare to retreat."
Guo Yilong nodded and shouted, "You guys, quickly surround the whole shrine and search for the assailant!"
The soldiers took action, the entire scene turned chaotic, and Ren Feng and Guo Yilong seized the opportunity to retreat, pretending to lead the soldiers in a search while actually heading towards the west gate to make a fast escape.
The scene was too chaotic, and other officers were deploying troops to protect the Prime Minister. Journalists were frantically taking pictures, and politicians stood there, terrified.
The silver-haired man's gaze was somber. His opponents were truly skilled, managing to place a bomb in the shrine right under his nose!
Damn it, what was wrong with their security?
Just then, he noticed Guo Yilong and Ren Feng running away with a group and slightly frowned, feeling something was off about them.
Nevertheless, he didn't dwell on it but quickly ordered, "Everyone, search the entire shrine."
The brought-ninjas took action one by one.
"You guys, escort the Prime Minister back first."
Another group of ninjas nodded, escorting the Prime Minister and several politicians back.
"Lock down the entire shrine! The assailants must still be inside!"
The silver-haired man began giving orders repeatedly, and everyone moved into action.
At this moment, the shrine billowed with black smoke and flames, the scene was utterly tragic. The silver-haired man holding the Munemasa Sword looked grim but gradually regained control over the site.
"How did the assailants get in?"
The silver-haired man frowned in thought.
At that moment, the woman beside him spoke up, "The people we brought have no issues; it must be a security personnel problem. The Chiyoda Guard Hall, Sanmu Guard Hall, and the elite guards brought by the Prime Minister handle the shrine's perimeter security, one of them must have made a mistake."
The woman remained remarkably calm and quickly identified the most likely issue.
The silver-haired man frowned, inexplicably recalling Ren Feng and his partner leaving moments ago. He had a nagging feeling they were escaping.
"Yingzi, under what circumstances would the Munemasa Sword proactively interfere with someone's mind?" asked the silver-haired man. "Is it possible for an ordinary person to be attacked by the Munemasa Sword?"
"No way, the Munemasa Sword is sacred. Its perception far exceeds ours. If it proactively attacks, it means the opponent's mind and will are threatening to it. It's only possible that the opponent is an expert!"
The silver-haired man's pupils shrank at these words.
"No way! They must not be allowed to get away!"
The silver-haired man immediately led his men in the direction Ren Feng and his partner fled!
Meanwhile, Ren Feng and his partner reached the west gate!
"Quick! The Prime Minister has been attacked, go protect him!"
Guo Yilong spoke to the guards.
The soldiers rushed into the shrine in unison. After successfully diverting them, the west gate was left empty, allowing Ren Feng and his partner to escape from the shrine.
"Haha, I never expected us to actually get out."
"Don't relax, this is just the beginning," Ren Feng said solemnly. "Let's retreat first, and escape the shrine."
"Many roads ahead are already under traffic control, there's only one way—by sea."
Ren Feng was about to speak when his expression changed: "Quick, go, they're coming after us!"
Ren Feng and Guo Yilong jumped into the sea, concealing all their presence as they sank below.
In no time, the silver-haired man appeared at the west gate, looking at the empty gate, his expression incredibly gloomy.
"Go to the Chiyoda Guard Hall, find out which two people were responsible for security!"
"Yes!"
The explosion at the shrine quickly spread, shocking all of Japan, and leading to a full lockdown in Tokyo.
However, the silver-haired man and his search team began their investigation.
Before long, Sasuke and Kato were dragged before the silver-haired man like dead pigs.
"Have mercy, have mercy!" Sasuke and Kato changed their expressions upon seeing him, kowtowing frantically.
