Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 239: Old Friends Meet and Plot with Blood (Part 4)
"I have liberated the nuclear power cabin! Return immediately!" Caesar turned on the voice communication of the Trieste.
The central control room was shrouded in the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives. Every attack of Spider Cut was as ferocious as the Satsuma Demonstration. This was the first time that Minamoto Chisei showed his level as the future successor of the Snake Eight Families in front of the headquarters commissioner. The Kagami Shinto-ryu, the Kasumi Shinto-ryu, the Ancient Demonstration-ryu, the Two-heart Cutting Method, the Tenpyo Ichimonji... the killing methods of various ancient swordsmanship schools were presented in turn in his hands, as graceful as a dance, and the dance was full of murderous intent.
This young man is actually one of the world's top swordsmanship masters, proficient in almost all styles of Japanese swordsmanship!
But Yuan Zhisheng rarely encountered an opponent who could compete with him in swordsmanship. The floating light in Lu Mingfei's hand extended to the length of the emperor's sword, and it was like a lightsaber with flowing light. She also used the ancient Chinese assassin swordsmanship. At one moment, it was as graceful as falling cherry blossoms, and at another moment, it was as powerful as swallowing mountains and rivers. The next moment, it suddenly swept across the world. The sword shadows made people feel as if she was holding not one sword in her hand, but countless swords. Even the air became her helper. Anyone who was swept by the sword wind would be either killed or injured.
The two sides were actually evenly matched in the sword fight. Gen Chisheng fought back expressionlessly but was secretly shocked in his heart. He was very clear about his own level. As a student, the only way for him to obtain the Menkyo Kaiden was to defeat his teacher. All the sword styles that Gen Chisheng used were Menkyo Kaiden. There was no opponent in Japan who could beat him in swordsmanship.
However, he was unable to break through Lu Mingfei's defense, and what surprised him even more was that Lu Mingfei did not just defend, but waited for an opportunity to strike. Once there was a moment of gap, she would try to attack even if she knew she might not win. Yuan Zhisheng felt that he was not fighting with others, but more like being in a camp where two armies were facing each other. On his side, the four flags of Fenglinhuoshan were waving and cheering, but the other side did not say a word, preparing to be invincible in order to wait for the enemy to be defeated.
Spider Cut swung out a brilliant sword light like a long river, and Yuan Zhisheng used this force to jump back to the ground. He held Spider Cut at his side and walked around Lu Mingfei carefully.
"I didn't expect that you were the most difficult person in that team." Yuan Zhisheng's eyes flashed with golden light.
"Are you surprised? Do you regret not forcing me into the diving team?" Lu Mingfei had a horizontal light floating in front of her. Her fighting style had never changed. She closely followed what Samson taught her: to use stillness to control movement. When fighting against an enemy, she should not think about deciding the outcome quickly, but be prepared to minimize her own flaws first, and then find the opponent's weakness through step-by-step testing and kill him with one blow.
So she usually seldom rushes to attack, giving people the feeling of being like an old monk in a martial arts novel who likes to wait for others to come to her and get their heads broken and bloodied. On the other hand, Yuan Zhisheng is good at attacking and defeating the enemy. The blood flowing on the spider blade is the blood of evil spirits. Once those guys relax, they will escape. Yuan Zhisheng can only run wildly in pursuit, non-stop, and go all out to kill the enemy the moment she encounters them.
This is a fight between offense and defense, a clash of two completely different styles, spear and shield.
"I had no choice but to deceive you." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, revealing a helpless tiredness. "We didn't think of completely destroying the ancient city at first. It was also very important to us. But Principal Angers forced you to come to Japan, which disrupted our pace. We had to make a decision in a hurry. If there was a suitable person in the family, it wouldn't be your turn to go diving. Maybe it would be me."
"Do you think I will listen to you now? You pushed my friends into the deep sea, and now they are fighting a nuclear bomb!" Lu Mingfei shouted, "Chinese people are different from you Japanese. Our favorite saying is that every wrong has its perpetrator! Since you feel sorry for them, then kneel down and admit your mistake with fear and trepidation, and do some cutting of your stomach! You are just a talker!"
To be honest, she had never been so furious. Even if she stayed, things would still develop in the worst direction. She didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if Caesar and Chu Zihang died in the trench. The whole of Japan was the territory of the Snake Eight Families and they were their enemies. Norma's connection was forcibly cut off by Kaguya, and she was surrounded by enemies.
The only way to solve the problem might be to take down Yuan Zhisheng. Those Japanese would not listen to her, Lu Mingfei, but if she held the life of the future young master of the Sheqi Eight Families in her hands, she could give orders and ask them to rescue the Trieste .
But Yuan Zhisheng was not someone who could be dealt with so easily. Yuan Zhisheng was shocked by Lu Mingfei's strength. Lu Mingfei also felt that Yuan Zhisheng was a difficult enemy to defeat. Since neither of them could break the other's rhythm, they had to stop and say something to try to change the situation.
"If I were not the young master of the family, I would really be willing to commit seppuku for you." Yuan Zhisheng looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "But I can't. I admit that I am not a good person. We in the entire Japanese underworld are not good people. But evil people also have their reasons for existing. If I die tonight, then the whole of Tokyo will be ruined."
"Are you going to tell me about your righteousness again? Sorry, I don't want to listen. You are a man who stands tall and proud, you are a hero of the Eight Clans of Sheqi, you have thousands of people willing to kowtow to you! But I have nothing! I only have a few friends, and now you are pushing them to death in front of me!"
Yuan Zhisheng did not answer. He held the Spider Sword and turned on the communication on the Sumeru Throne, broadcasting the sound to the entire central control.
"Mr. Miyamoto, please report the situation." said Gen Chisheng.
"We must fight first! Sonar shows that a large group of zombies are approaching the sea surface, and they are rising faster than we thought, just like swordfish. They will float to the surface in two minutes!" Miyamoto Shio looked at the large red dots on the screen. He was wearing headphones and monitoring the results. Hundreds and thousands of light dots formed a dense net, pointing directly to the Sumeru throne.
"My purpose here is to guard the Sumeru Throne. Those corpse guards are monsters without humanity and only have the will to kill. If one of them gets out, we're doomed. The secret of the dragon clan may no longer be a secret and will be exposed to human society. One corpse guard is enough to make the entire Tokyo Bay splash with blood before rescue arrives."
Yuan Zhisheng said slowly, "According to the rules of the secret party, at any time, the half-bloods have the duty to prevent the secrets of the dragon race from being exposed. If you insist on doing what you want, then I have no choice but to finish you off here and then go out to face the corpse guards. If you still have some sense in your heart, then get out of the way. I can give you all the authority of the central control room. They may not be the 90%, so you can find a way to save them here. After tonight's matter is resolved, if I am still alive, you can kill me the next time we meet, but before tonight is over, no one can expect me to compromise!"
Strong winds poured into the control room through the broken windowsill, making Yuan Zhisheng's windbreaker rustle. Lu Mingfei held her hair and turned her head to look. The police lights and searchlights on the floating platform began to spin. A storm was raging on the sea, and the lights illuminated the boiling sea.
The true colors of the Fenglinhuoshan Group 4 have only now been revealed, ammunition belts have slid into the gun barrels, torpedoes have been preheated, honeycomb rockets have begun to idle, the alarms have become more and more frequent, and everyone's eyes are on the sea. The black sea is shaking, and the floating platform is shaking with it. It seems that a tremendous force is accumulating below that can tear the sea apart at any time.
Yaksha and Crow stood on the dock with white cloth tied on their heads. They had tied two long magazines upside down and inserted them into their submachine guns. This way, they could pull out the magazines and insert them back to continue firing. They were like two on-site commanders on the front line.
There were dull thunders under the sea, and splashes of water rushed up into the sky and hit the dock. It was the explosion caused by the rising group of corpse guards crashing into the depth charge barrier. Those depth charges were originally used only to deal with submarines, but Miyamoto Shio modified them and suspended a large number of such bombs in the sea water at a depth of 50 to 100 meters. Once they exploded, they would trigger a chain reaction, splashing tens of thousands of fragments around, and any large creatures passing by would be torn to pieces.
People on the water saw a brilliant light below the sea, as if a summer fireworks show was being held there. Fire was burning from below, white waves were gushing into the sky like springs, and a steel-blue body leaped out of the water, swinging its snake-like tail like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
The moment they jumped out of the water, the machine guns on the helicopters began to fire. Bullets rained down from the sky to the sea, hitting the metal bodies of the corpse guards and splashing dense flames. The small-caliber machine guns could not kill them quickly, but the dense rain of bullets could still push them back into the sea.
At this time, the rockets on the ship came into play. They didn't need to aim at all, because the sea was full of metallic shadows, which reminded people of the abundant fish at the bay dock, except that these fish would jump up and bite people's necks.
The sky-high explosions rose and fell on the sea surface, and sea water, blood, scales, and body parts were scattered into the sea. The speed of the corpse guards was astonishingly fast. Some police boats were rushed onto the deck by the corpse guards before they could even fire. Their powerful long tails could cut a person in half with just one roll. With their noses twitching, they pounced on anything with signs of life. The fire team couldn't suppress them with a barrage of bullets, so they simply pounced on them and detonated a series of grenades on their bodies and fell into the sea.
Lu Mingfei looked down at the battle on the sea. It was not until now that she understood what so many logistics teams were doing. The purpose of their existence was actually to form an army. The entire Japanese branch was lying. They knew very well that the underwater operation would lead to these things, so they prepared such a team to block all the corpse guards here, using their own blood or corpses to form a barrier.
What a disgusting scene. If only they were really a bunch of bastards, then Lu Mingfei could tear Kaiyuan Zhisheng's neck with Floating Light without any psychological burden. But now they are really fighting, and even if they betrayed Cassel, they are still abiding by the rules of the secret party. Is this twisted righteousness what Yuan Zhisheng is clamoring about all day?
Now she is placed at the center of the trolley problem. On one side are her club boss and future boyfriend, and on the other side are the innocent people in Tokyo Bay. Who she chooses depends on whether she is willing to let Gen Chisei go. She can either capture him and order the Japanese to help rescue the Trieste, or let him go and let him participate in commanding the battle.
"If you continue to stalemate with me, even if the Trieste survives the nuclear explosion, it may be attacked by the corpse guards." Yuan Zhisheng was particularly calm now. He could see from Lu Mingfei's face that she was struggling, which was good, indicating that she had not completely lost her mind and was only thinking about her boyfriend.
“Don’t talk to me in that tone!” Lu Mingfei strode towards Yuan Zhisheng, grabbed his collar with one hand and pushed him against the wall, with a lion’s roar in his eyes, “Remember this, Yuan Zhisheng the Turtle! From this moment on, we are sworn enemies! Don’t think you can easily control me! I also have something that can give you a headache! You’d better be glad that they are still alive, otherwise even if you hide in that turtle shell of Genji Heavy Industries, I will directly blow up the building and pull you out! Now, get out!”
She waved her hand and threw Yuan Zhisheng behind her, gritting her teeth and staring at the empty wall in front of her, her nails piercing her palms and causing pain. She didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that if she looked back now, she would change her mind. Between the so-called righteousness and the person she loved most, she chose the former.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't stay for long. He left the central control room, grabbed the railing and slid down.
"I have liberated the nuclear power cabin! Return immediately!"
Caesar's voice suddenly came from the open voice channel. Lu Mingfei was extremely surprised and rushed over to put on the headset.
"I'm here! I'm here! Lu Mingfei is still here! Boss, tell me how you are doing!"
"Chu Zihang is right next to me. Although he looks a little bit miserable, he is still holding his breath. If he is a man who will die soon, it means that my vision in choosing opponents is still a bit bad." Caesar glanced at Xiyue who was chewing chocolate silently, "Also, there is one more person on our submersible."
"Yes, there is one more beautiful girl." Xiyue glanced at him and corrected him, "And you didn't mention that I was the one who rescued Chu Zihang. Do you want to take credit for it?"
"Because I'm not sure who you are."
"She is my bodyguard." Lu Mingfei pressed the headset and heard Xiyue's voice. She really abided by the contract between them and guarded the person she cared about most at 10,000 meters in the deep sea, so she certainly had the obligation to protect her. "Please don't ask about her identity. You just need to know that she is ours in this mission."
"Your fans are really all over the world!" Caesar sighed softly, "As long as it's confirmed that there is no problem, then work quickly. To be honest, I'm not sure if this shell can hold up if it's delayed any further..."
