The dawn light pierced through the thick haze.
Golden light shone down on the ruins of Tokyo.
The dilapidated streets were filled with the acrid sll of gunpowder.
The survivors hiding in the shadows slowly opened their eyes.
They touched their cheeks.
A warm sensation ca through.
The terrifying, life-pulling sensation that was frantically draining away completely disappeared.
The threat of death finally dissipated.
"We survived?"
Soone asked in a trembling voice.
Suppressed cries erupted from the silent ruins.
People embraced each other, tears washing away the blood on their faces. Despite their weakness, they wept with overwhelming emotion.
They breathed in the cold air with all their might, welcoming this mont of new life.
The wilderness outside the city is not safe.
The roars of strange beasts occasionally echoed in the distance.
The survivors who escaped Tokyo mostly gathered in the western suburbs plain.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here.
The camp was in complete chaos.
Shortages of food and dicine sparked small-scale riots.
Several hot-tempered Japanese samurai drew their long swords.
They attempted to seize the makeshift dical tents set up by the Great Xia agents.
"Hand over the dicine!"
The leading samurai had bloodshot eyes.
"This is our territory!"
He brandished his long sword and roared.
Bang!
A deafening gunshot rang out.
A crater was blown open at the feet of the leading warrior.
Tang Qi stepped forward, holding a long sword and spear.
The sword was pressed directly against the samurai's forehead.
"Step back."
Tang Qi's voice was devoid of emotion.
The samurai swallowed hard.
He sensed genuine killing intent.
The troublemakers slunk back into the crowd.
Tang Qi then sheathed his long sword and sat down in front of a campfire.
The cold morning wind blew across his blood-stained overcoat.
Liaison officer Xiao Li quickly walked over and squatted down next to Tang Qi.
"Have you managed to contact headquarters?" Tang Qi asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Li shook his head helplessly.
"The signal interference is very serious."
"The only information we have so far is not optimistic."
Xiao Li opened the tactical terminal in his hand.
"Our Great Xia has dispatched three waves of troops, which are on their way to Tokyo."
"But they all encountered resistance to varying degrees."
Tang Qi frowned.
"What is the specific situation of the battle?"
"The first wave is the vanguard battalion of the North Sea Fleet."
Xiao Li speaks extrely fast.
"They encountered a suicide attack by the Japanese sea god guards during their landing."
"A large number of mutated sea creatures have also appeared on the sea surface."
"The second wave is the Eastern Airborne Division."
"They were relentlessly pursued by the Kamikaze Flying Group."
"The enemy has even activated a hidden anti-aircraft magic array."
"The airborne troops suffered heavy losses."
"The third wave consists of elite ground assault teams."
Xiao Li's voice carried a hint of despair.
"They were stopped fifty kiloters away by the remaining Red Oni."
"Those monsters are completely reckless."
Tang Qi listened to the report.
His face darkened.
"They probably won't be able to get here anyti soon, and we've already missed the best opportunity."
Tang Qi looked at the burning campfire and sighed.
"The sacrificial ceremonies within the city have now completely ceased."
"That SSS-rank professional from Japan, Kujo Naruya, might have already been resurrected."
He looked up in the direction of Tokyo.
"Even if our reinforcents arrive now, they will probably be t with the wrath of that SSS-rank."
Xiao Li swallowed.
"So what do we do now?"
Tang Qi stood up.
All we can do now is wait.
"Observe Kujo Naruya's performance and condition after his resurrection, and report to headquarters in a tily manner."
"Let the marshal and his n make strategic adjustnts."
Tang Qi paused for a mont.
"The second task is to find that ever-changing star lord and the mysterious reinforcents he brought."
There was no sign of the other person anywhere in the entire city of Tokyo.
The other party definitely did not run away.
It is certain that the other party has found the exact location where Kujo Naruya was resurrected.
It's just that so much ti has passed.
Why did those powerful figures never reappear?
There's only one possibility left.
The plan to stop Kujo ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Naruya's revival has failed.
Those heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty have probably all died at the hands of that Amaterasu.
Just then.
A deafening clap of thunder echoed through the sky.
A figure streaked across the sky, accompanied by golden lightning.
The bolt of lightning struck the open space at the edge of the camp.
A loud bang.
Dirt splashed everywhere.
The enormous impact created a deep crater in the ground.
Tang Qi's warning sign is great.
He imdiately drew the weapon from his waist.
"All personnel on alert!"
"Fourth squad, co with to take a look!"
The Xia agents quickly dispersed.
They raised their weapons and aid them at the center of the pit.
The smoke and dust cleared.
A man covered in blood lay at the bottom of the pit.
His black trench coat was tattered, and both his legs were severed from the knees down. Blood stained the surrounding soil, and he was utterly exhausted.
Tang Qi strode forward and imdiately recognized the other person's identity.
This is one of the reinforcents brought by the Ever-Changing Star Lord, a terrifyingly powerful lightning-attribute swordsman.
Previously, in the skies above Tokyo, this swordsman even fought to a standstill with the sword saint, Wada Hirayama.
Tang Qi gasped.
Even a swordsman as powerful as this t such a tragic end.
However.
When Tang Qi saw what the man was clutching tightly in his arms, his breath caught in his throat.
It was a golden pendulum clock that was over a ter tall.
The pendulum of life!
Tang Qi stared wide-eyed, hardly believing his eyes.
They actually managed to steal back the Great Xia's divine artifact?
Tang Qi quickly jumped into the deep pit and squatted down next to the swordsman.
"How are you? What exactly is the situation?"
"Has Kujo Naruya been resurrected?"
Yasuo struggled to open his eyes.
To make a long story short...
"What I'm about to say is very important."
He pushed the heavy pendulum of life toward Tang Qi, and then tremblingly pulled out an ancient seal from his pocket.
These two artifacts emanated a heart-stopping aura.
"Give these two items to Marshal Zhao."
Yasuo stared into Tang Qi's eyes.
“Tell him to imdiately take the Pendulum of Life to Donghai City and resurrect a man nad Zhou Huai.”
"This is my promise to him."
Yasuo spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
Tang Qi was stunned for a second, sowhat puzzled.
Who is Zhou Huai?
Why resurrect him?
He had never heard of this na before.
Why use a divine artifact to resurrect an unknown person?
But Tang Qi didn't dwell on this issue; saving lives was the priority.
He shouted loudly towards the outside of the pit.
"Let's get a healer!"
Then he turned to look at Yasuo.
"Don't say anything yet."
"have a good rest."
"I'll find soone to treat you right now."
Yasuo waved his hand with difficulty.
"No need."
"You just need to tell Marshal Zhao what I said verbatim."
Yasuo took a deep breath.
"In addition, there is important information: I have already killed Kujo Naruya. Kujo Hiroharu is probably dead as well."
"Please convey to Marshal Zhao that I have not failed his trust."
Yasuo's voice grew softer and softer.
Tang Qi was startled.
He stood there, stunned.
"What?"
"Kujou Naruya was killed?"
Tang Qi's eyes widened.
He struggled to process this shocking news for a while.
That's an SSS-level powerhouse, second only to a god.
The newly resurrected Amaterasu died just like that?
And he died at the hands of this swordsman who had lost both legs?
Tang Qi's body trembled.
He wanted to ask sothing else.
"How exactly did you do that?"
"Where are the others?"
However.
There was no further response from the bottom of the pit.
Yasuo's eyes lost all their light, and his head tilted slightly to the side.
This thunderous swordsman who slew the god has lost his last chance of survival.
Tang Qi knelt in the mud and water, staring at Yasuo's corpse for a long ti, unable to co back to his senses.
The surrounding agents also fell silent.
