Capítulo 1377: Chapter 756: Shadow Troop, the Unsheathed Blade! (Part 2)
He felt a faint pain throughout his body, as if that katana strike almost split his internal organs.
Moreover, the impact of that katana resulted in his speed significantly slowing down, while the Garrison Forces two blocks over had thoroughly surpassed him and blocked the road five hundred ters ahead.
He was only a thousand ters away from the rendezvous point promised to Qing Chen, uncertain if he could break through this barrier.
But Jindai Yunlo couldn’t stop; the only thing he could do was trust that Qing Chen had indeed arranged reinforcent.
However, Jindai Yunlo was still sowhat puzzled. Even if Qing Chen had arranged reinforcent, almost the entire Garrison Forces were now gathered here. What kind of reinforcent could save him?
A mber of Qieshe Yumian whispered, “Jindai Yunxiu, don’t forget your mission. If you don’t personally kill him tonight, you will be the one who dies. The Family Head needs your pledge.”
Jindai Yunxiu replied, his face indifferent, “You don’t need to remind , I know what to do.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he once again unleashed infinite potential. His agile figure suddenly leaped forward like a leopard, and with his muscles bulging, his suit suddenly tore into strands of silk, flowing back with the wind.
With each step he took forward, the long katana was gradually raised higher; no need to draw, no need for quick-draw attacks, just the most domineering Qieshe Yumian.
The ground began to crack, and with each step spiders web-like fissures appeared underfoot. Within the span of a single breath, several Qieshe Yumian experts fell ten places behind him.
Jindai Yunxiu raised the katana high, as if holding a flag billowing in the wind, the katana split the air, and steam billowed up from its blade!
The experts exchanged glances, none had anticipated that this young compatriot held such strength. If Jindai Yunlo was the top Onmyoji at present, then Jindai Yunxiu was likewise the top practitioner within the Qieshe Yumian tradition.
“Union with the Way! He actually stepped onto the threshold of Union with the Way!” A mber of Qieshe Yumian exclaid.
In the next mont, the katana swung out!
At the instant the katana arced downward, the white smoke on the blade no longer dispersed but instead condensed like a whirlwind, resonating with a hum, as the massive katana force passed by, leaving fissures in the earth.
Jindai Yunlo and Jindai Yunxiu were drawing closer in pursuit, and in the blink of an eye, they were near the freshly set-up defensive line ahead.
While running, Jindai Yunlo made a casual hand gesture, which seed inconspicuous yet was their pact of three; once a decision had to be made, the one giving the gesture was expressing willingness to die without resentnt.
Everything was for their ideals and destiny.
Jindai Yunlo believed he wouldn’t break through the defense line; he was ready for it.
But when Jindai Yunxiu saw this gesture, his expression remained unchanged, yet his blade made a sudden shift, and rather than slicing toward Jindai Yunlo, it angled sharply toward the Garrison Forces blocking the front line.
Jindai Yunxiu roared, “Take care of yourself! Go quickly!”
With a thunderous crash, the tight defense line of the Garrison Forces was cleaved open, creating a massive breach. The power of the single strike cut through over a dozen vehicles and hundreds of n!
Once the strike was delivered, the instant katana was shattered, and Jindai Yunxiu pinned all his hopes on Jindai Yunlo. From the side, Qieshe Yumian experts slashed toward him saying, “There is certainly a problem.”
But Jindai Yunlo didn’t leave; he rushed back and used his last Bone Woman Shikigami to block the attack toward Jindai Yunxiu, then turned into a pile of shattered bones, transforming into a stream of light as it entered his Divine Bridge.
Jindai Yunxiu asked, “Why didn’t you leave?”
Jindai Yunlo smiled and said, “I didn’t want to go.”
“What are we going to do,” Jindai Yunxiu asked.
“Die together I guess,” having made his choice, Jindai Yunlo was surprisingly calm. He glanced at the Garrison Forces defense line that was closing in again, inwardly thinking: one of them was an Onmyoji without Shikigami, the other was a Qieshe Yumian without a katana—now they were dood.
However, he didn’t bla Qing Chen; after all, it was his own failure to reach the agreed location or sustain until the agreed ti.
…
…
“Quick! Quick!” Qing Ye shouted in a lowered voice.
He sprinted while looking at the map in hand, just one more intersection! One more intersection!
But when they burst out of the alley, they didn’t see that white silhouette on the street.
“Damn, sothing went wrong!” Qing Ye listened to the shouts of killing not far away.
Qing Qu said, “This isn’t according to the boss’s plan. The target couldn’t hold until here; should we still go? Did he say what to do? Is he leaving it to us to figure it out ourselves?”
Now they faced a dilemma, either charge forward and risk it, or retreat imdiately.
Qing Ye scratched his head and turned to look at his comrades behind him: “Boss is the Commander, surely he’s given a concrete strategy. He said we’re the Shadow Troop, and the Garrison Forces in City No. 20 are nothing, we must complete the mission. Tonight’s to be the new boss’s credential. As the saying goes, ‘benevolence doesn’t command soldiers, righteousness doesn’t manage finances,’ I understand his decision. But I bear responsibility for you guys. Actually, you all used to follow the Shadow Boss, our loyalty was dedicated to the Shadow Boss. Now his brother’s taken over, I know so have thought of retiring to a peaceful life… So I’m taking the risk that I’ll face a military court to make a decision, you choose now whether to stay or leave, I won’t hunt you down.”
