Chapter 113: How Dare a Mere Japanese Snake Be So Arrogant!
“Blessing from a top Battle King? What is her background? The enemy has our information! If the Dragon Country government finds out, this experimental base will be uprooted!”
As Suzuki Yoshiko’s expression flickered, a resolute gaze flashed in her eyes. With a “bang!”, she charged forward and immediately shouted at those around her, “Those who have reached Battle General, chase after her! Don’t mind the Dragon Country Enforcers, attack with full force!”
She never expected that a simple family “business” mission would be so troublesome.
Following the order, the old man and more than a dozen Battle General level individuals soared into the sky, gliding through the air. Their colorful energy shields shone like rainbow lights in the dark night.
It formed a scene of stars chasing a fiery feather, with countless skills shooting towards the firebird, giving the impression of a thunder fighter.
“Bang bang bang!”
Feeling the attacks from behind, Su Jiu quickly accelerated to dodge. Holding the merman Siren, she had no chance to use her sword skill. Now, she could only rely on Lord Liu Yue’s protection to persist.
However, high-speed flight rapidly depleted energy for those without Battle General abilities, and the Ghost Car transformation caused Su Jiu’s energy consumption to drop drastically!
“How much longer?!”
Feeling the whistling wind roaring past her ears, she looked at the endless ocean ahead, feeling time moving incredibly slowly. The energy within her body was decreasing, and…
Su Jiu glanced at her purple shield, which was already swaying precariously. It had taken too much damage.
At this rate, it wouldn’t last much longer.
The Siren in her arms looked at the nearby scenery and quickly affirmed, “We’re almost there, not far from the port.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu gritted her teeth and tore off her Gothic dress, revealing the JK uniform underneath. Not wanting to think too much, she took out E Huo’s rations from her pocket and put them into her mouth.
The energy in her body began to recover, but the exhaustion from that state doubled.
She was sick of these high-intensity battles every day!
“Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have the blessing of a Battle King! That energy won’t last you long.”
At this moment, the old man and Xiangzi had landed not far behind her. Xiangzi, riding the wind, nocked an arrow and was aiming, illuminated by a halo behind her, appearing like a legitimate Shrine Maiden of a shrine.
“Judging by your age, are you a student from some Dragon Hunter University?” Xiangzi lowered her bow, her lips curled in disdain.
“Whoosh!”
“Bang!”
Half an instant later, the arrow directly hit Lord Liu Yue’s blessing, shattering it instantly. Su Jiu’s body tilted, and a sweet, metallic taste welled up in her mouth. She swallowed it desperately and shouted, “Hold on tight! Don’t let go!”
“Chichichi!”
Immediately, she released her left hand and swung her blade wildly, sending black sword aura towards Xiangzi, but…
“Too weak… *Pfft*, you can only sneak attack, right? Will the academic exchange in a few months consist of trash like you?”
External Qi emanated from Xiangzi’s body, her eyes filled with killing intent. Behind her, a nascent form of a Nine-Headed Serpent phantom was faintly visible. She casually waved her bow, and the crimson-black sword aura, which could exert immense pressure on ordinary Battle Generals, was easily dissolved.
This was the difference in condensing Qi liquid. The priests of the Ancient God Sect Su Jiu had encountered before likely hadn’t even reached the condensation level of ordinary people. The woman on the train was only slightly above ordinary people—
But Suzuki Yoshiko was different. She was a genius among geniuses, ranking among the best at Tokyo University. In her third year, she was already a High-Rank Battle General!
She was a Talented Individual almost on par with the Male Protagonist, Bai Ming.
“Lord Xiangzi, please retreat. This old servant will bring you her head.”
“Don’t hurt the Siren,” Xiangzi stopped him, looking ahead with interest.
She knew the old man’s strength too well; he was comparable to her, a veteran High-Rank Battle General, and possessed a nascent form of a Bloodline Phantom.
Moreover, he had mastered the Niten Ichi-ryū to perfection, comprehending his own additional skills based on his bloodline.
The old man nodded slightly, his clothes fluttering without wind. He held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest, then vertically, and then swung both hands forward simultaneously.
In an instant, it was as if a waterfall poured out, with sword light surging within the spring water.
“Niten Ichi-ryū – Poisonous Cobra!”
The old man was arrogant, and his sword was naturally arrogant. The countless people who had died by his blade had forged this arrogance.
In his eyes, if not for his poor cultivation talent, his swordsmanship would have been enough to awe these Dragon Country people. However, the young woman just now had given him a shocking sword strike.
But that was all. It was just his carelessness.
“Dragon Country swordsman, let’s see if you can take another of my strikes.”
The next moment, wind surged, the world spun, and a cross of white light flashed across the heavens and earth. Behind it, a roaring python could be faintly heard. A phantom of a green giant python moved left and right, like its master.
This was countless times more powerful than the Flood Dragon Su Jiu had encountered before!
Seeing the sword qi giant python attacking, her vision was blurred by the pressure. Su Jiu gritted her teeth and dived underwater, determined to escape! She couldn’t take this strike with her current strength. If she had Battle General assistance, she might not have been afraid to confront it.
In an instant, she felt as if she had passed by a black shadow. A piece of paper fell before her eyes, and Su Jiu grabbed it before plunging downwards.
“Who is he?”
As she fell, Su Jiu glanced sideways. It was an ordinary middle-aged face she had never seen before, yet it felt inexplicably familiar!
This familiarity came from—the bar?
With a fleeting glance, Su Jiu saw the black sword in his hand. He was gently stroking the sword, his eyes filled with calm.
“How dare a mere Japanese snake be so arrogant in our Dragon Country’s waters.”
Followed by a calm, smoky male voice, his tone was light, yet it felt like an unmovable mountain.
The old man frowned. He didn’t understand where this person who looked like a retired worker came from. There was no aura from him, which made him wary.
But the word “Japanese” in his mouth pricked his heart like a needle. People of his generation were most sensitive to such terms.
“Bastard! Since you want to die for her, then take this sword strike!”
A slight trace of anger appeared on his face, and the old man’s sword momentum intensified, like a giant python turning its head, as if it wanted to swallow Su Jiu along with it.
“Heh…”
Just as the giant python was about to bite, the middle-aged man finally moved, a faint smile on his face.
“This sword—Xiao Yun.”
“Chii!”
The sword light was sheathed, and the entire area instantly became transparent. A dragon’s roar sounded, and a five-clawed black dragon soared into the sky, enveloped in countless clouds.
That sword strike, like the rising sun, cut through the dark night. The dazzling sword edge illuminated Su Jiu’s face. She gently glided forward, looking up at the sky.
“A Battle King Level swordsman!”
“This is unfair… I’m not reconciled!”
The old man couldn’t see the trajectory of the sword, but at this moment, he knew his life had vanished with the darkness into the dawn, being bitten to pieces by that black giant dragon.
*Huala!*
That beam of light formed its most brilliant state, accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar.
It pierced the sky, splitting the entire night into a gap that widened further and further.
It was a sliver of dawn!
But the middle-aged man didn’t stop his sword. His figure kept shifting, black sword flowers scattering, harvesting one pursuing Battle General after another.
…
“You go down first. We’ll go to the pub later.”
Su Jiu looked up, gently placed the Siren in her arms into the water, then opened the paper she had. After glancing at it, she discovered the bottom part read:
[Assessment: Siren Disaster A]
[Completion: A]
[Area Review Elder: Ren, Yuan]
“Ren? Elder? What are those?” Su Jiu was a little bewildered. When did she accept this thing?
“Congratulations on completing the exploration mission. Leave the rest of your problems to them.”
At this moment, a mature voice sounded behind Su Jiu, approaching with the sound of splashing water.
Su Jiu turned her head and saw a charming woman. She had a faint smile, as if her red lips always hid a secret.
But Su Jiu’s next words stunned her.
“But I’ve already solved it, haven’t I?”
