Features: This is a grand epic novel by the renowned Japanese author Yasushi Tanaka, inspired by Chinese mythology and set in modern Japan. Three thousand years ago, the heavens were divided into two factions: the Dragon Clan and the Ox Clan. The leader of the Ox Clan, Chiyou, caused chaos in the mortal world, so the Heavenly Emperor sent four brothers from the Dragon Clan—Aoguang, Aoshao, Aorun, and Aoyan—to subdue Chiyou. After three thousand years of slumber, the Dragon Clan awoke once more. The modern incarnations of the four Dragon Clan brothers are the four sons of the Longtang family: Shi, Xu, Zhong, and Yu. Possessing superpowers, they wander between the realms of humans and dragons, refusing to submit to demons who seek to seize their strength and rule the world. Thus, four handsome young men—four radiant dragons—roam the skies above modern cities, and a series of unimaginably grand scenes unfold.
The work is deeply imbued with Chinese cultural influences, featuring figures such as the Dragon, the Heavenly Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and Yao Ji in various forms. It is rich in fantasy, blending wondrous imagination with historical events. The four dazzling dragons and their divine powers are as dreamlike as they are powerful, greatly satisfying readers' reverence for strength, nature, and the supernatural. At the same time, the work weaves together different timelines, switching between modern and ancient scenes, allowing readers to wander from bustling cities to primordial lands, learning about history and characters in an enjoyable way and gaining a sense of magical aesthetic pleasure.
In this volume of the story, the magnificent Longtang brothers delve into China. Unprepared for the formidable opponent they encounter in Xi'an—the cunning Xiaochao Nanziko, who even manages to humble Zhong—the four brothers begin a "strategic retreat." They successfully rescue Huang Lao, the older brother of Huang Da, from prison, but to their surprise, Huang Lao is stubborn and refuses to meet his younger brother, insisting instead on taking the brothers to Longquan Village. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the group led by Moli is once again targeted by Lamb. Once again, strange and terrifying events occur. In the midst of their debate, Lamb's body undergoes a bizarre transformation—he turns into an Oxman.
