Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

It's my birthday today, and I have a banquet in two days, so I'm a little late, but I won't miss any updates!

Happy ninth day of the new year, everyone!

Chapter 476 A Moment

Chu Zihang and Caesar did not deliberately lower their voices when communicating, so Asuya could hear their conversation clearly.

The veins on Asuya's forehead were throbbing... For a minute, Chu Zihang's seemingly casual words were an absolute insult to Asuya's personality. He regarded Chu Zihang as an equal opponent, but since they met, these two men have been humiliating him non-stop. Asuya's patience has long reached its limit.

He held the long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on Chu Zihang. Asuya was ready to strike, like a viper ready to pounce on its prey at any time, just waiting for the troublesome Caesar to leave.

In one minute, he would use the knife in his hand to prove how ridiculous the other party's one-minute talk was! Since the other party was so obsessed with numbers, he would use his absolute strength to defeat the other party in one minute, along with the other party's arrogant and conceited self-righteousness!

Caesar nodded to Chu Zihang and jumped down from the obstacle wall first. Caesar knew that Chu Zihang's character would definitely make a quick decision. If he said one minute, he would not exceed a second. The tacit understanding they had cultivated over so many years of hostility no longer needed to be explained in words. After experiencing so many things in Japan, they had become comrades who could trust each other with their backs and life and death.

The high temperature brought by "Jun Yan" gradually dissipated after lasting for more than ten seconds. After the people of the Kanto branch suffered from the high fever, just when they thought they could finally take a break and take a breath, the whistling sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air at high speed suddenly came.

Not one, not a few, but dozens or even hundreds of whistling sounds reached their ears. Hundreds of sharp sound sources appeared at the same time. Everyone looked up in confusion, but could not see anything. The streets at night were as dark as ever.

This feeling is creepy, like being in a dark and deep cave with bats gathering on all sides, but you can't see them. The bats flap their wings at the same time and start to move out, and you don't know whether they will fly away from the cave or pounce on you in the next moment.

"What is that?" Someone pointed up into the air, his eyes filled with fear. "What...are those things?"

Dark golden pupils opened in mid-air, one pair after another, there were hundreds of pairs in total!

The pupils of those pairs of golden eyes were ferocious and vertical. The creatures with such terrifying pupils were really bat-like creatures, and also looked like weasels, but they were several times larger than the common bats and weasels in life. Their wings vibrated at an extremely high frequency in the air, and the sound sounded like a very thin sharp blade cutting the air. Hundreds of such high-frequency sounds superimposed together were like a swarm of bees in the tropical rainforest, which made people feel cold.

"Wind demon!" A member of the Kanto branch, well-versed in Japanese mythology, pointed at the giant bats with golden eyes and shouted, "This is a monster from the Koshinetsu region! My hometown is in Yamanashi Prefecture! This kind of monster is very famous in our area! They count people's eyebrows like foxes, causing them to hallucinate! They even suck blood! A wound caused by their bite or scratch will bleed profusely!"

"It's not a wind demon!" said a staunch materialist member. "The wind demon is a sickle-weasel! This is the power of the Word Spirit. Caesar Gattuso's Word Spirit is 'Scythe-weasel'!"

"But the 'Word Spirits - Kamaitachi' don't take form! They're just a force hidden in the air," said the Yamanashi member. "But those Kamaitachi look exactly like the legendary wind demons! When I was stared at by those vicious eyes, I got goosebumps! Do you think what we saw was an illusion?"

Of course it was not an illusion. The next second, the words of the Yamanashi Prefecture member were confirmed, because the group of sickle-weasels seemed to have received some kind of instructions. They screamed and pounced on the crowd of the Kanto branch at the same time, and they used their wings to roll up tiny wind blades.

This kind of attack is almost invisible and imperceptible, but it can indeed land on the ground. For a moment, the clothes and skin of the Kanto branch were cut by the sharp wind blades. They were all covered with wounds, and blood kept flowing out of the wounds, as if there were invisible wind demons attached to these wounds, sucking the blood in their bodies endlessly.

"Word Spirit·Vampire Scythe", the 71st Word Spirit on the Word Spirit Sequence List, is an upgrade of "Word Spirit·Kamaitachi". "Kamaitachi" itself only has detection capabilities and does not have offensive capabilities, but after Caesar's blood burst, "Kamaitachi" is upgraded to the violent "Vampire Scythe", which is equivalent to giving up the detection capability in exchange for extremely strong offensive capabilities. When facing such enemies with a number far greater than its own, "Vampire Scythe" has an extremely significant group attack capability.

Caesar kicked a member over and snatched a broad machete from his hand. Caesar did not have the habit of carrying a knife with him in any occasion like the perverted brothers Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. He really came to attend the dinner today, and his weapon, Dick Tudo, was still lying quietly at the head of the bed in Takama-ga-hara's bedroom.

Caesar weighed the stolen machete. Although it was not as heavy as his own Dick Tudo, it was still okay, at least better than the Japanese sword.

The swordsmanship and fighting techniques that Caesar had practiced since childhood were all bold and violent, and he was really not used to the slender and delicate Japanese swords. However, rather than saying that Caesar could not stand Japanese swords and swordsmanship, it would be more accurate to say that he could not stand Japan as a country.

Caesar felt that Japan was a country filled with a twisted and sick sissy culture from top to bottom, from sissy cigarettes, to sissy Kabuki art, to the sissy and incompetent emperor and prime minister... Even the Yakuza culture believed in by the gangsters with a little blood in them was just a bunch of useless talk before a real fight. After staying here for a long time, Caesar even felt that a sissy in the traditional sense like Minamoto no Chisei could be considered a real man in this country. Caesar was extremely disappointed with this sissy country, except for the maid cafe on that street in Akihabara which still had quite a lot of cultural connotations.

The three Deadpools who had just gotten out of the car were nowhere to be seen. They had probably hidden in the chaotic crowd. The "Sickle Weasel" was upgraded to the "Vampire Scythe" and lost its detection ability. Caesar was unable to determine the location of the Deadpools by sound.

Caesar used the machete in his hand to casually chop down several members closest to him. He was not focused on fighting these minions at all. The members of the Kanto branch were temporarily restrained by a group of sickle-weasels. What Caesar needed to guard against was sneak attacks from the dark. Vision was difficult to use in such a chaotic battlefield. The only thing he could rely on was the experience and intuition cultivated in countless battles over the years.

However, even without the blessing of the "Sickle Weasel", Caesar's hearing was still much stronger than that of ordinary people. A chill passed through his back, and the subtle sound of breaking through the air coming from the crowd behind was caught by Caesar. Caesar quickly turned his head and swung the broadsword in his hand.

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the sharp and hard claws pierced the blade of the broad machete, scraping all the way down, making an extremely harsh friction sound. A series of bright sparks were aroused between the blade and the claws, and the sparks illuminated a familiar and hideous face. The snake-like Deadpool was "sizzling" and spitting out cold tongue behind Caesar.

"You guys are as insidious as ever. You almost capsized in the gutter..." Caesar sneered at Deadpool.

But Caesar suddenly shut up before he could finish his words. He quickly retreated, but was still a few minutes too late. Another sharp claw appeared in his sight, scraping his cheek, raising strings of blood beads. A deep bloodstain appeared on Caesar's handsome face, and wisps of white smoke were coming out of the edge of the wound, which was an obvious sign of corruption.

Another identical monster.

The second Deadpool appeared in Caesar's sight. It also spit out the same cold tongue, and a smile curved at the corner of its mouth, looking like a smug smile for the success of its sneak attack. But when it smiled, its entire skull opened, revealing cracked mouth corners and jagged sharp teeth. This was probably the weirdest and most disgusting smile in the world.

Caesar's eyes gradually turned cold, not because the wound on his face made him angry, nor because he felt humiliated by being attacked by a creature like Deadpool... but because he realized that compared to the ones they had met before in the Genji Heavy Industries Building, these Deadpools actually possessed more tacit cooperation and more advanced wisdom!

The first sneak attack of Deadpool was blocked by Caesar with a machete, but Deadpool's hand did not immediately withdraw from Caesar's side after failing to hit him. Instead, it used the hard bone layer of its claws to scrape the machete in Caesar's hand... It was not wrestling with Caesar at all, but deliberately making noise.

Deadpool seemed to know that Caesar's hearing was more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he also knew that the reason why his sneak attack failed was because the sound of the attack revealed his whereabouts. So he used the sharp friction sound to affect Caesar's extraordinary hearing, covering the second Deadpool's sneak attack.

When encountering this kind of creature in the Genji Heavy Industries Building, although they also understood the cooperation among the entire group, the cooperation ability and precision of those Deadpools were obviously not as strong as the Deadpools in front of them. It seems that Dr. Herzog has surpassed the experimental stage of Deadpool research and completed the upgrade of this creature... At least these three Deadpools are no less capable than humans in combat judgment and cooperation ability.

A monster with extremely fast speed, strong aggressiveness and extremely tenacious vitality, and also possesses combat intelligence that is not inferior to humans. The most important thing is that this monster is suspected to be able to be mass-produced... Whether it is for the current Eight Snake Families or for Kassel Academy, this is extremely terrifying news.

Caesar was in a cold standoff with the two monsters that were eyeing him covetously. The third Deadpool was still hiding in the dark. Most of his energy was spent on maintaining the territory of the "Vampire Scythe". The blood burst and urging hundreds of vampire sickle weasels to attack at the same time was an extremely exhausting thing.

Caesar's situation seemed difficult, but he was not actually anxious. He was silently counting down the one-minute deadline in his heart.

As long as Chu Zihang's problem is solved smoothly, the two of them can join forces and all the current difficulties will no longer be a problem.

……

Asuya's eyes were fixed on Chu Zihang, but Chu Zihang didn't look at him. Instead, he looked at the members of the Kanto branch and Caesar who jumped into the crowd. It seemed that the battle situation on the other side aroused his curiosity more than Asuya in front of him.

This is what Asuya finds most difficult to accept... A genius can tolerate being excluded and isolated, but he will never tolerate being ignored! Chu Zihang's indifferent attitude even makes Asuya feel more angry than contempt!

"Don't worry about your friend. My subordinates will treat him well." Asuya said to Chu Zihang, "Among my people, there are sharp swordsmen, accurate snipers, and professional demolition experts... But they have nothing to do with you and me. We will have a one-on-one battle. No one can interrupt. I will defeat you in an absolutely fair environment. Chu Zihang, I will let you know how ridiculous your words that you can defeat me in one minute are!"

"Fifty-three seconds left." Chu Zihang said lightly.

"What?" Asuya was stunned.

"You've already wasted seven seconds saying that. There were fifty-three seconds left." Chu Zihang's gaze finally fell on Asuya. He said expressionlessly, "There are fifty-one seconds left."

"I really can't figure out the source of your arrogance." Asuya was furious to the extreme, and he laughed in anger. "Do you really think you have the strength to crush me? You think you can defeat me in a minute? Then why don't you attack me?"

"You've said a lot. I was just waiting for you to attack first. This is the etiquette the director taught me at the Musashi Kendo Gym," Chu Zihang said sincerely. "If I strike first, you won't stand a chance. One minute is just the time limit I gave Caesar. Killing you only takes a split second... There are still forty-one seconds left."

Asuya decided not to waste any more time talking to Chu Zihang. His fighting spirit had been aroused to the extreme by the other party's contemptuous words. Asuya brought his long sword close to Chu Zihang's face, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the center of Chu Zihang's eyebrows. This was the most ancient sword stance of the Kagami Shin Akechi-ryu school. The moment the sword was drawn, it would kill the opponent quickly like a bullet shooting through the opponent's head.

Asuya ran on the obstacle wall. When he approached Chu Zihang, he drew his sword sharply. The blade cut through the rain curtain as fast as a phantom!

Very good! He used his most proud sword move with unprecedented perfection, thanks to Chu Zihang who had inspired his fighting spirit... Asuya firmly believed that even Gen Chisheng would be defeated by his sword!

The next moment, Asuya felt a sharp pain in his palm, and his sword shattered in an instant. His ten fingers holding the sword were cut off at the root. Asuya fell from the high obstacle wall into the water on the ground. In his vision, heavy rain fell from the dark sky, and the world was dark.

Chapter 477 Losing control

In a moment... it was really just a moment. He was defeated in just one encounter, and the defeat was without a doubt.

Asuya stared blankly at the rain falling from the sky. The cold raindrops hit his face and seeped into the deep wound that pierced his chest. The defeat came too quickly, and Asuya didn't even have time to react. He was not mentally prepared to accept his failure.

But the intense pain in his chest clearly reminded Asuya that he had indeed failed. Asuya could feel that his vitality was rapidly draining away from his body, and the body temperature of the parts soaked by the rain was gradually dropping. The excruciating pain made his consciousness a little clearer when he was on the verge of death.

Asuya remembered that he used the sword moves of Kagami Shin Akechi-ryu that he was best at to attack the opponent. He only felt a cold light flash before his eyes. Asuya didn't even see what it was. His palms were shaken by a huge force and he could hardly hold the hilt of the sword. His sword broke a moment ago, and the next moment a crisp clanging sound was heard.

The breath of death was blowing in his face, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Asuya's body fell from mid-air as if all his strength was drained away. Until he met Chu Zihang's monarch-like golden eyes and saw the unsheathed Murasame in Chu Zihang's hand, Asuya realized... Oh, it turned out that Chu Zihang had already counterattacked at that moment.

The opponent's slashing was so fast that he could hardly see it. With just one attack, he not only broke his strongest sword move, but also broke his ancient sword and even took away his life along with the dignity of a strong man.

In an instant, several questions swirled in Asuya's mind, like the questions that a dying person would have about this world and would not want to close his eyes in closing.

The sound of shoes stepping on accumulated water was heard. Asuya struggled to turn his head with his remaining strength. He saw Chu Zihang walking towards him, with the Murasame blade held upside down in his hand and crimson water slowly dripping from it... It was the rain washing away his blood.

"I don't know why you're so persistent with me, but I certainly don't mean to look down on you. It's just that the difference in strength between us doesn't make us suitable for an equal duel. The Lionheart Club members sometimes say I'm too blunt, but don't mind." Chu Zihang stood beside Asuya, still with a calm expression, and said, "Judging from your expression, I think there's something else you want to say... You have thirty-seven seconds left. You can ask any questions you want to know, and I'll do my best to answer any questions I can."

"You really don't know how to hide your true nature... You're so blunt." Asuya took a deep breath. He was truly unwilling to accept this. He struggled to put on a serious expression. "Then I want to know... that slash just now... was it your full strength?"

"No... but even though it wasn't my full strength, I at least used 80% of it." Chu Zihang said truthfully, adding, "But I didn't use a sudden burst of blood. If a sudden burst of blood is counted as my full strength, then that knife strike just now probably only used 30% to 40% of my strength."

Asuya pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, revealing a silent bitter smile. Chu Zihang's words revealed a despairing gap. His full strength was defeated by the other party using only 30-40% of his strength. Is the disparity in the world really so huge? The distance between the strong shouldn't be so far apart... Asuya instinctively didn't want to believe it, but he had to accept it.

What then meant his entire youth immersed in swordsmanship and kendo, and his obsession and pursuit of being the "strongest"... Asuya felt that the moment he was defeated by Chu Zihang, the past twenty years of his life seemed to become gray and sad.

"You really don't have a kendo teacher... nor does your junior fellow apprentice Lu Mingfei?" Asuya was still unwilling to accept the fact. He asked while vomiting blood, "You said Lu Mingfei has replaced you as the number one in the undergraduate department of Kassel College... Then, between you and Lu Mingfei... who is stronger?"

"Yes, I'm not lying to you. Lu Mingfei and I don't have a real kendo teacher. We only learned the basics of kendo at the city children's palace, and the rest is mostly self-taught." Chu Zihang said, "But we have a kendo mentor, the director of the 'Musashi Kendo Hall'."

"Director?" Asuya widened his eyes, hope rekindled in his eyes.

He knew that behind a monstrous strong man like Chu Zihang there must be a hermit sword master. This meant that his defeat was traceable and his devilish life in the past was not completely meaningless.

"Yes, the director is a middle-aged man in his forties. He just passed the 'Seventh Dan in Swordsmanship' exam a few years ago." Chu Zihang paused. "That's the seventh dan in the international kendo rating system. So the director's strength isn't very strong...very weak. Lu Mingfei and I could have easily defeated him after finishing the first quarter of classes. However, defeating the director would have meant graduation. We all wanted to stay at the Children's Palace and continue our kendo studies, so neither of us took that approach."

Asuya's expression froze on his face. The hope that he had finally ignited was extinguished again. He looked like a pool of rotten meat that was about to melt.

Seventh Dan, the seventh dan in international kendo evaluation, is very weak...

So this is Chu Zihang's kendo teacher? Is there anything more insulting than this?

"As for who's stronger, me or Lu Mingfei... I've practiced swordsmanship longer than Lu Mingfei, and in our first two years of sparring, I almost always won," Chu Zihang said. "Two years after Lu Mingfei entered high school, our sparring sessions ended in draws more often. But I could clearly feel that Lu Mingfei was improving at an astonishing rate, and I couldn't sense his limits. After Lu Mingfei entered Kassel Academy, our sparring sessions became even less frequent, and Lu Mingfei no longer fought me with all his strength. Every time we sparred, it ended in a draw... That's because Lu Mingfei always treated me with the respect of a junior to a senior."

"But I can tell you with certainty, if Lu Mingfei regards me as his mortal enemy and fights me with all his might..." Chu Zihang lowered his head to look into Asuya's eyes, his tone more serious than ever before, "The ending will definitely be me dying at the hands of Lu Mingfei, without a doubt."

"Monsters... Really monsters... You're the real monsters... I didn't know the undergraduate department of the academy was so terrifying..." Asuya's consciousness gradually faded due to severe injuries and lack of blood. He tried his best to make unclear sounds with his throat, "So that loser Yoshikitaro is going to be in trouble... No, the entire group of demons who are enemies of you are going to be in trouble... And there is one last question... What if 'God' is really resurrected..."

"'God' will die at the hands of Lu Mingfei." Chu Zihang interrupted Asuya, "I can't continue to answer your questions. There are only three seconds left in the one minute that Caesar and I agreed on. Sorry."

After saying that, Chu Zihang casually cut off Asuya's life with a knife. Asuya still had his eyes wide open staring at the sky when he died, as if he had not yet finished his last words. Chu Zihang quickly flew towards Caesar.

In the last second of a minute, Chu Zihang cut off the third Deadpool that was about to attack Caesar with a knife and came behind Caesar.

Chu Zihang and Caesar stood back to back, facing the three Deadpools who were eyeing them hungrily and the enemies who were like a tide.

"How do we solve this?" Caesar asked Chu Zihang without even turning his head. "Should we be more merciful or use a more time-saving and labor-saving method?"

A more merciful way would be to spare the lives of these members of the Kanto branch and make them lose their ability to fight. There is no need to kill them indiscriminately. However, controlling the strength of the battle and restraining one's murderous intent would undoubtedly be time-consuming and laborious for killer embryos trained in the Mad Academy like Caesar and Chu Zihang... Killing the opponent without mercy is actually a time-saving and labor-saving approach.

"Let's resolve this matter here as soon as possible." A flash of worry flashed across Chu Zihang's eyes. "Compared to these Deadpools and the enemies from the Kanto branch, I'm more concerned about the King General on Lu Mingfei's side."

"Are you worried that Uesugi Eri will lose control under the influence of the King General?" Caesar asked.

"No, I'm more worried about Lu Mingfei than Uesugi Eri." Chu Zihang whispered, "We've all seen Uesugi Eri's true strength, but we don't really understand Lu Mingfei's true strength, nor do we know what he really thinks."

"Until I met General Wang, this was the first time I'd seen Lu Mingfei express such intense murderous intent towards someone." Chu Zihang paused, his voice more serious than ever. "My intuition tells me that if someone really angered Lu Mingfei, something even more terrifying than Uesugi Eri's loss of control might happen."

……

The rain slammed heavily on the scrapped car frames and the street surface, and the sound of heavy rain falling to the ground resounded through the night, but mixed in with the sound of heavy rain, Jiude Mai could still hear the familiar and strange sound of clappers.

Mai Jude was very sure that this was not her hallucination, because she was different from Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Eri. She was not sensitive to the sound of the clapper. But at this moment, the strange sound was so clear in her ears, which irritated her nerves... In fact, there is a very simple and straightforward way to confirm whether it was the sound of the king's clapper.

"Lu Mingfei!" Jiude Mai shouted at Lu Mingfei in the heavy rain, "Lu Mingfei! Can you hear me? You've killed the king! All the enemies are dead! Caesar and Chu Zihang's situation will be over soon! You are safe now. You can take Uesugi Eriya and leave the port area for Takama-ga-hara in Shinjuku! No one will stop you on the road!"

Lu Mingfei had been walking slowly in the heavy rain, coming towards the battered Lamborghini, like a walking corpse who had lost his soul. His golden eyes were still not extinguished, as dazzling as the bright flame of an ancient kiln. Guanshi Zhengzong was still tightly held in his hand. His body was stained with the blood of his enemies, and the murderous intent was as sharp as a mighty tide... This was the look Lu Mingfei would show when facing a mortal enemy, but now there were no enemies anymore, and Lu Mingfei still had not returned to normal.

Lu Mingfei ignored Jude Mai's shouts. Only when he heard the name "Uesugi Eriya" did Lu Mingfei stop in place and was stunned for a moment... But this daze did not last long. After just a moment, he continued to walk towards the Lamborghini, which showed that his will was on the verge of collapse. Lu Mingfei had subconsciously regarded everyone in his sight as a threatening enemy.

This means that the audio hidden in the rainstorm is indeed the sound of Wang Jiang's clapper, and Lu Mingfei's will has been lost in this sound.

What was going on? Hadn't General Wang already been killed by Lu Mingfei? The two broken clappers lay quietly on the ground... Where did the clapper sounds come from?

Jude Mai wanted to identify the source of the clapper sound from the chaotic sound of rain, wondering if there was an enemy hiding somewhere that she had not discovered... Then Jude Mai's face quickly turned ugly.

Because there seemed to be more than one clapper sound... but many, coming from all directions, as if countless ghosts were hiding in the corners of the night, chanting spells that could disturb people's minds.

Seeing Lu Mingfei getting closer and closer to the Lamborghini, Jiude Mai's face darkened. She took out the Frigga tranquilizer bullet from the portable ammunition box and prepared to load it into the sniper rifle at hand.

Uesugi Eriya was still in her arms, and the most important task Lu Mingfei entrusted to her was to protect Uesugi Eriya. Facing Lu Mingfei, who could no longer distinguish between friend and foe, Jiude Mai could not just sit there and wait to die... However, at this distance, if she shot at Lu Mingfei with the heavy sniper rifle at hand, even if it was a tranquilizer bullet, the impact would probably create a bloody hole in Lu Mingfei's body.

Just when Jude Mai's attention was focused on Lu Mingfei, Eri in her arms suddenly popped her head out.

Before this, Eri's head had been held in the arms of Jude Mai, her vision was blocked, and her auditory nerves were paralyzed, so she had no idea how drastically the situation had changed in just a few minutes.

But Eiry didn't care about these things at all. Her eyes were fixed on the figure walking towards them, covered in blood and with white smoke coming out of his body... Eiry's eyes gradually widened because she recognized who that figure was.

Feeling Eri's struggle in her arms, Jude Mai whispered to her, "Don't go over there! He's not in the right condition anymore! He's no longer the Sakura you knew! It's dangerous to approach him rashly! I'm trying to figure out a way..."

But the strength of Eri's struggle was beyond the ability of Jude Mai to restrain her. She broke free from Jude Mai's arms, jumped out of the Lamborghini, and ran towards the figure in the rainstorm.

Jude Mai still had her gun raised, and in the sight of the scope, the unconscious Lu Mingfei had already raised Kanze Masamune towards Eri who was running towards him.

Jiude Mai's finger was firmly on the trigger...if Lu Mingfei showed any intention of swinging, she would shoot without hesitation.

Chapter 478 Eri's Hug

The finger of Jude Mai on the trigger trembled slightly. Since she started as a ninja, this was probably the first time that Jude Mai had difficulty controlling her emotions due to hesitation.

In all her previous missions, Mai Jiude has always been known for her fierce methods and decisive killing, but this time she was faced with two targets that she was determined to protect at all costs, and Mai Jiude was rarely confused.

Lu Mingfei is her trusted partner and the boss's most important target. Meeting all of Lu Mingfei's needs is the first priority of Jude Mai's actions... But Uesugi Eri is the most important person to Lu Mingfei. The only demand Lu Mingfei makes of Jude Mai is to protect Eri.

But at this moment, Lu Mingfei was out of control and about to threaten Eiry's life. If Lu Mingfei had done as he intended, Jiude Mai should have fired the shot without hesitation. However, shooting Lu Mingfei would have gone against her own and her boss's intentions... This was a dilemma, and the choice depended entirely on Jiude Mai's decision.

After a brief struggle, Jude Mai focused the scope on the arm that Lu Mingfei was holding Guanze Masamune... An arm was not a big price to pay for Lu Mingfei, who had a monstrous physique. This was also the most effective and reliable way to prevent him from hurting Uesugi Eri.

After making up her mind, Jiude Mai was not going to wait for Lu Mingfei to show his intention to attack, because even Jiude Mai was not sure which was faster, the firing rate of the NTW-20 heavy sniper rifle in her hand or the speed of Lu Mingfei's sword swing in this state.

Just when Jude Mai was about to pull the trigger, she suddenly stopped moving, her pupils widened in disbelief... because in the field of view of the sight, Lu Mingfei's raised Kanze Masamune was about to fall, but Uesugi Erii in front of him did not dodge or avoid, but instead walked towards Lu Mingfei.

Eiry crashed into Lu Mingfei's arms.

An inexplicable feeling of sadness washed over Jude Mai's mind. Although she was a cold-blooded ninja and a ruthless killer during the mission, she was, after all, a girl of the same age as Uesugi Eriya, so Jude Mai could fully understand the meaning of Uesugi Eriya's actions at the moment... In the eyes of that girl, she could not see the Guanze Masamune in Lu Mingfei's hand at all, nor did she consider whether Lu Mingfei's action of raising the Guanze Masamune was to hurt her.
