The continuous explosions within that enormous crater resembled an endless deathly firework.
Zhou Huai thought to himself, "This old codger is really tough."
Even a hellish boss would have died more than ten tis over under such intense saturation bombardnt.
As a result, this guy was still clinging to life.
The principle is to either not fight at all, or fight to the death in one fell swoop.
Zhou Huaiyan prepared to summon another new hell-level BOSS to deliver the final blow.
If it weren't for Kujo Masakage's arrogance and carelessness, plunging headlong into the swarm of insects...
Opportunities to so easily cripple an SS-level expert are rare.
However, at this very mont...
His expression shifted, and he suddenly looked up at the distant horizon.
Two figures tore through the sky, hurtling towards them at an unbelievable speed.
One of them was a bald, giant man with dark skin and a physique as imposing as a mountain, but strangely, he was missing two arms.
The other was a man in a pure white suit, with a refined deanor, who seed out of place in this chaotic battlefield.
Zhou Huai's expression hardened.
Although I don't recognize these two guys, the terrifying aura emanating from them, undisguised and like a vast ocean, already gave the answer.
These are two SS-rank professionals!
Moreover, it's very likely that they were the two guys who fought against Kosuke Soma in Karuizawa before.
Their presence here now ans...
Kosuke Soma's plan has most likely failed.
The man in the white suit hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the devastated Fuji City below, which looked as if it had been bombed by a teorite, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Mr. Hongzhi was right after all."
"As expected, sothing went wrong at Kawaguchiko."
He pushed up his gold-rimd glasses, his tone relaxed and carefree.
"Fortunately, we arrived in ti."
"Otherwise, the pendulum of life might really be snatched away by soone else."
After saying that, he casually stretched out his hand in a certain direction in the distance and made a light beckoning gesture.
"Buzz—"
A golden ray of light pierced the darkness before dawn, soaring into the sky from the distant night.
That was the pendulum of life, tightly bound by black chains in the hands of Polina and Karen.
At this mont, it broke free from its restraints, transford into a streak of light, and instantly traversed several kiloters to land in the hands of the man in the white suit.
Seeing the pendulum of life, Zhou Huai's heart sank completely.
Karen and Polina did not manage to escape.
They were very likely caught off guard by these two suddenly appearing SS-level powerhouses.
Their own plans are also going to fail.
Zhou Huai quickly adjusted his state.
Now is not the ti to be upset.
Let's evacuate first.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Huai conjured the beetle into a throne once more, carrying Caesar as it shot swiftly toward another direction from Fuji Castle.
However, he was fast, but soone was faster than him.
"roar--!"
A furious roar exploded from the ruins below.
A massive figure soared into the sky, blocking Caesar's path.
That was none other than Shuten-dōji, wielding a massive spiked club and exuding an overwhelming aura of alcohol.
Behind Shuten-dōji, the figure of Okibumo slowly rose from the ruins.
He was covered in wounds, with blood at the corner of his mouth and a pale face, clearly having suffered serious injuries in the explosion.
But in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Huai, there burned an unyielding resentnt and madness.
at the sa ti.
The bald giant and the man in the white suit appeared as if by teleportation in two other directions, forming a net with Chong Wengu and the nine shadows that were struggling to recover in the deep pit, completely sealing off all of Zhou Huai's escape routes.
The man in the white suit looked Caesar up and down, who was covered in black armor, with a playful smile on his face.
"You're the insect tar that Mr. Hongzhi ntioned, the one who's been causing trouble in the shadows, right?"
"I really underestimated you."
"Even if Chongwen Gumao and Kujo Masakage combined, they couldn't defeat you."
"It almost made you run away with your life clock."
He paused, his tone carrying a ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) hint of condescending admiration.
"Now that Soma Kosuke is dead, there is no need for you to continue fighting with us."
"Why don't we stay and have a proper talk?"
"Our Dawn Guild greatly admires talent like yours."
Zhou Huai's eyes, hidden beneath his carapace, suddenly narrowed.
These two guys...
They're from the Dawn Guild?
This was completely unexpected by Zhou Huai.
He was hidden beneath Caesar's cold shell, yet his mind was racing at an astonishing speed.
Firstly, it was unexpected that Kujo Hiroharu, who has always acted in an extrely xenophobic manner, would choose to cooperate with the Dawn Guild.
Secondly, I never expected that Dawn Guild, which is not well-known in China and acts in a secretive manner, would have such a strong foundation.
With a single move, they unearthed two SS-level professionals, unlike anything they had ever heard of before.
But where did these two SS-rank characters co from?
As is well known, each country has a limited number of SS-level powerhouses. Once one appears, he or she will be imdiately absorbed by the national machinery and cultivated as a top strategic resource.
How could we possibly let them be abducted by the Dawn Guild without them noticing?
Internationally, there was not a single word about it.
This is almost impossible.
unless......
Unless the other party is like , able to create a powerful SS-class entity using my clone.
Or perhaps...
A possibility suddenly flashed through Zhou Huai's mind.
Ancient remnants of a race.
Rinzo Natsu is the best example.
If I hadn't intervened, her body would probably have been completely taken over by Ying Yinman, who claims to be a princess of Qin.
In this way, a powerful SS-class individual was added to the world without anyone noticing.
Having figured this out, Zhou Huai beca even more puzzled.
What is Dawn Guild up to?
Are they really planning to welco the return of the ancient race?
Or rather, is this the aning of their existence?
Seeing that Caesar remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, the man in the white suit in the air smiled even more broadly.
He enjoys the feeling of being in control and giving others choices.
"It seems you are a smart person."
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a kind of persuasive magic.
"A smart person should make a smart choice."
"You are very talented, there is no doubt about that. You can't find many people in the whole world who can push two SS-levels to this point on their own."
"But you've misused your talent."
"Is it worth putting yourself in such danger for so trivial personal grudge, or to steal an inanimate object?"
The man in the white suit spread his hands, his posture elegant.
"We are ushering in a great era unlike any other."
"A new world without borders, without corrupt classes, where only strength and talent reign supre."
"Join us and you will gain access to unimaginable resources, access to the deepest secrets of the world, and beco one of the creators of a new order."
