Manyo's friend easily fended off Kujo Sara's attacks, still insisting, "You've been enforcing the Eye Hunt Order for so long, haven't you noticed there's a problem with it?"

Kujo Sara's eyes were firm and cold, and the lightning in her hands was even more swift, as if to tear the opponent apart. "The Eye Hunting Order was issued by the Lord Takemeijin, the Great Gosho, himself. How could a god make a mistake? Don't try to slander the Lord Takemeijin, the Great Gosho!"

Manye's friend shook his head helplessly, his tone filled with sorrow and regret: "Those who have lost the Eye of God have lost all hope and longing for life, living in a state of confusion, like the walking corpse. They no longer even have the desire to live. In such a tragic situation, you still think the Eye Hunting Order is correct?"

However, Kujo Sara remained unmoved by these words, and instead intensified her attacks. "You'd better wait until you defeat me before you say that." She suddenly leaped up, spreading her jet-black wings and soaring into the sky. She summoned her bow mid-air and began to charge.

Seeing Kujo Sara's actions, Manye's friends knew that words alone could not shake the person in front of them, so they no longer held back and began to accumulate strength.

In the blink of an eye, the divine eyes of the two men flashed brilliantly at the same time, and a thrilling battle broke out.

Just as the two bolts of lightning violently collided, Kujo Sara quickly adjusted her stance, stabilizing her body. Taking full advantage of her mid-air position, she seized the moment when Manye's friend needed a break from his attack and swooped down like an eagle, swooping down directly at her target.

"Oh no! We're going to lose if we keep going like this!" Linghua shouted anxiously.

However, Xin Yang was keenly aware that something was amiss and realized that this flaw was intentionally created by Manye's friends in order to lure Kujo Sara down from the sky.

As expected, facing Kujo Sara's fierce attack, Manye's friend nimbly dodged to the side, then swung his sword, using the flat of the blade to push Kujo Sara back a few steps. At the same time, he unexpectedly flew backwards without warning, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

To outsiders, the battle seemed to have been decided - Kujo Sara's powerful attack successfully defeated Manyo's friend.

Kujo Sara finally managed to steady himself, but his heart was filled with confusion. If that attack had truly been a blade, he would have been gravely injured, if not killed. But the problem was, this duel was clearly a fight to the death. Why would the other party suddenly show mercy? And why was he pretending to be defeated?

These questions shrouded Kujo Sara's mind like a fog, leaving her baffled. She stared at the direction her opponent had flown, trying to discern some clue from the blurry figure. However, she could see nothing but doubt and confusion.

At this moment, Xin Yang, who had been quietly observing the duel, understood everything and explained softly, "Actually, Manye's friend deliberately let Kujo Sara win. You have to understand that Kujo Sara is a high-ranking general of the Tenryo Bugyo and a die-hard fan of the Shogun. Everything she did was merely following orders, and she had done nothing wrong. If she had lost this duel, she would undoubtedly have faced severe punishment. That's why he chose to deliberately concede, allowing Kujo Sara to win. This way, he could both protect Kujo Sara from punishment and finally meet the Shogun as he wished—a perfect two-pronged strategy. However, the price of doing so was enormous—he would have to face the Thunder God's 'milky blade' head-on! Only by successfully blocking it would he be qualified to engage in dialogue with the Shogun."

At this moment, General Raiden stood up and walked towards Manye's friends.

"Why would you deliberately lose?" Her voice boomed like thunder, and the previously boisterous scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared at the three people in a state of stunned silence, as if time had frozen in that moment.

Finally, someone recovered from their shock and shouted, "General, are you mistaken? We saw with our own eyes that General Kujo Sara defeated him with a single blow of all his might. How can you say he surrendered on purpose?"

However, this sound was like a tinderbox, stirring up the previously quiet crowd. People began to whisper and discuss one after another.

Manye's friend struggled to get up from the ground, coughed lightly, and then sneered: "I admit that I am inferior to others in skills and lost to General Kujo Sara. There is no such thing as intentional!"

General Lei Dian slowly stepped into the air, looking down at everything below. Her eyes were like lightning, making it difficult to look directly at them. "Do you understand what it means to lose a duel before the Emperor?"

Manye's friend met her gaze fearlessly, his eyes gleaming with a fiery light. He spoke clearly, "Of course I know that the legendary 'Unthinking Blade' is the pinnacle of your martial arts, General Lei Dian. Today, I have come to experience it for myself!"

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning split the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder. Everyone's eyes turned to the front, only to see General Lei Dian slowly pulling out the legendary Dream Heart from between her milky white snow-white breasts.

At the same time, Manye's friend quickly drew the sword from his waist, and was instantly enveloped by a powerful lightning. As the lightning surged, the sword began to grow longer.

"No!" At that moment, a terrified cry echoed from the crowd. Manye had finally reached the castle tower. However, his words alone were clearly not enough to stop the determined General Raiden from striking the fatal blow.

"No thoughts, sever!" With these cold and resolute words, General Raiden swung his Dream One Heart with a mighty force that could destroy everything. Facing such a devastating blow, Manye's friends, undeterred, charged towards General Raiden, brandishing their own weapons. In an instant, the two weapons collided with a resounding clashing explosion, unleashing a dazzling display of sparks and a choking wave of air.

Everyone present was so nervous that they held their breath and stared at the thrilling scene with wide eyes.

After a fierce battle, General Lei Dian ultimately emerged victorious. In this life-or-death clash, Manye's friend's sword snapped, leaving him with a hideous wound that was unbearable to look upon. He died instantly, and his divine eye, at that moment, dimmed, losing its former brilliance.
