Moonlit Night, Assassination

  The moon shone brightly overhead, and Yi Chen lay comfortably on the floor, gazing up at the clouds with silver edges in the sky. He held a glass cup in his hand, while next to Gor's sniper rifle was a bottle of white wine. Every time Yi Chen emptied his cup and reached out for more, he would pick up the wine bottle and pour him another glass immediately.

  Fay seemed like a cat, curled up in Yi Chen's left arm, with her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep.

  Jester's body twisted into a weird arc, rolling his eyes back, with a bottle of whiskey on his left and a large marijuana cigarette in his right hand, slowly pouring the liquor and slowly exhaling smoke. This place is about 500 meters away from the Tower of London, although for superhumans, this distance can clearly see the flame of a cigarette, but if it's just the smoke of a marijuana cigarette, probably no one would notice, so Yidun didn't stop Jester's enjoyment either.

  Phil glanced at his luminous watch and shook his head slightly, saying: "Boss, it's already 21:27. Will the Japanese come?"

  "Don't worry, the Japanese will definitely come, they'll settle the score. Just wait patiently... I recently read a book where a count told his friend that humanity's greatest virtues are hope and waiting. We have time, no need to rush."

  The hands of the clock were ticking away, and a white sedan suddenly drove into the Tower of London. Arthur and his three companions deliberated for a long time but still couldn't find any strong clues, so they decided to return to the Tower of London and carefully examine the body of the black-clad man who was killed that day to see if they could find any leads. As it turned out, the Tower of London was a good place to kill someone and cover their tracks - they carelessly stuffed the ninja's corpse into a box and buried it in the courtyard, after all, tourists wouldn't notice whether there were human remains underfoot or not.

  23:30, a figure in a blood-red warrior suit, Sakura, appeared at the entrance of the Tower of London with nine black-clad ninjas. Their entire faces were covered in black veils except for their eyes. Two night-shift security guards instinctively dropped their guns and raised their hands, having received orders to do so. However, Sakura didn't bother to leave any survivors. With a wave of her left hand, a black energy blast shot out, and the two guards' heads flew high into the air, with a column of blood spraying onto the surrounding wall.

  A special ninja let out a loud shout, not afraid to attract people, and struck out with a fierce slash. A circular sword glow whizzed out from the blade, and the gates of the Tower of London were easily sliced into wooden pieces, shooting in one by one with a whooshing sound.

  Sakura handed the 'Killing Moon' to her left hand, walked in slowly and let out a low, provocative voice: "Warriors who made my subordinates suffer casualties, come out and duel with me, you bastards."

  The sound had already startled Arthur and the three Holy Knights, who were just about to dig up the corpse. They exchanged a glance, their figures flashing as they leapt in front of Sakura. Sakura smiled lightly: "Good skills, quick movements - was it you who injured my subordinate leader and killed three of my subordinates?"

  Arthur looked at the young man with long hair and a beauty that was tinged with evil, and his heart rose with a few points of vigilance. He cautiously took a step forward and asked Sakura, "Isn't it true? Are you talking about those four bastards who attacked the church priest without reason? I don't think there's anything wrong with taking them down... But may I ask, who are you? This is the land of the British Empire, we won't allow you to act recklessly."

  Sakura smiled slyly and said, "Is that so? But I'm not British, so the laws of your so-called Great Empire don't apply to me... Oh wait, I made a mistake. It's the civil law that doesn't apply to people like us. You didn't care about the law when you killed my subordinate, did you? So why are you being so hypocritical now? Power is everything, if I kill you, then I am justice. Do you agree with this point of view?"

  Arthur sneered: "It seems that we are the same kind of people. That's right, since I took out your subordinate, let's solve the problem in the most direct way. However, I want to ask a question before fighting: Were the first two intrusions into the Tower of London done by your people?"

  Cherry was taken aback. The first two times invading the Tower of London? His subordinates were only here this time to avenge the Vatican, who had come before?

  Just as Sakura and the others were swaggering into the Tower of London, Gollum had begun to whisper: "Boss, they're here. Ah ha, ten people, plus that Sakura guy, ten people, but I don't think those nine guys are a match for Arthur."

  Yi Chen suddenly sat up, his arm brushing against Faye's shoulder. Faye yawned and shook her head to wake herself up, then grabbed a pair of binoculars and began gazing in the direction of the Tower of London. Yi Chen also took a pair of binoculars and lay down on the ground, looking over that way, muttering to himself: "Strange, there are three white-robed people beside Arthur...Damn it, how can this be?"

  Jester also climbed up, holding the telescope to look over there, gritting his teeth and groaning: "Skull, Hagen, Murphy, those three bastards, they're the ones who ruined... Dammit, dammit Arthur, why did I see his sword light and the Vatican's holy light so close together last time? It turns out they're in cahoots, in cahoots... I want..."

  "Yi Chen scolded in a low voice: 'What do you want to do? Kill the King of England? Fool... The only one who has a grudge against you is the Vatican, Arthur may just be that Skell's friend or someone invited by the British royal family, don't get any wild ideas.'"

  Jester's body stiffened and fell to the ground, his muscles convulsing wildly, his two blood-red eyes fixed intently on Skerl and the other two.

  Sakura thought for half a day, lightly raised the 'Killing Moon' in her left hand, shook her head and said: "Except this time, we have never attacked this London Tower... Of course, the reason why we want to attack here is also because the Vatican has killed our companions before, we must do something."

  Schulz and the other two turned pale, Hagen stepped forward with large strides, and asked in a low voice: "Are you people from the Dark Council?"

  "Sakura frowned: 'What dark council? We don't know anything about that. A few months ago, our people were killed by the Vatican's people without reason, and this time we are here for revenge, it has nothing to do with your so-called dark council... Originally, you let my subordinates kill all the people from the church they could find, and our anger would have been vented, and there wouldn't be any problem. But you had to stop my subordinates from doing their job, and even injured or killed them, how can I not take revenge on you?'"

  Sakura suddenly burst out laughing at Hagen, who was taken aback and thought to himself: "Why is this kid laughing like a woman? Hmm? Is there something wrong with me? Why are they still laughing?"

  "Skel suddenly shouted: 'Hagen, be careful, retreat quickly.'"

  A black sword light suddenly flashed, and Hagen, who was unprepared, let out a painful cry. A blood fountain spurted out from his chest, and Sakura made a big spin, like a fire cloud pouncing on him. Her right hand slammed the hilt of her sword onto Hagen's throat, and with a fierce kick, her hard wooden clog struck Hagen's lower abdomen. Then, with a swift motion, she raised her leg and kneed Hagen's massive body, sending it flying over ten meters to crash heavily into the wall behind him.

  Sakura smiled and stepped back a few steps, giggling and saying: "Eh yo, I'm really sorry about that. I might have used a bit too much strength?"

  Arthur stared at Sakura with a strange expression and shook his head. Skrill and Murphy also shook their heads strangely.

  Sakura ignored their strange expressions and said, "Originally, the warriors of our great Japanese Empire would not stoop to sneak attacks. But this time, I've come to avenge my subordinates, heh heh, as an assassin, so any method that can weaken your strength, I'll gladly use."

  Arthur shook his head slightly, smiling and said: "What a pity, you've provoked Hagen, which has strengthened our forces quite a bit." After finishing speaking, he directly took out a mobile phone and dialed a number: "Yes, block off the streets within 500 meters of the Tower of London. We have some business with a few friends here. Prepare an ambulance, I think it will be needed. Give you five minutes to clear pedestrians and cars from the street. I don't want any X-Files-like incidents."

  Sakura didn't interrupt Arthur's words. Arthur's actions were also beneficial to himself, and if he let too many ordinary people see his true appearance, it would be a bit of a hassle.

  Hagen, who was originally sitting on the ground, leaning against the courtyard wall, suddenly moved. He raised his right hand and heavily stroked the wound on his chest, bellowing loudly: "Despicable guy, don't you have any knightly honor at all? You actually launched a sneak attack... Despicable sneak attack! I'll kill you, I swear, in the name of the Holy Spirit, I'll kill you!"

  Hagen stood up, his entire body shrouded in a hazy white glow. His massive tower shield appeared in his left hand, while his right hand grasped a handle as thick as a duck egg, attached to a two-foot-long iron chain with a silver ball the size of a small watermelon at its end. Hagen was furious - he had been knocked down by someone using the very method he detested the most. As the highest-ranking knight in front of His Holiness the Pope, this was absolutely unacceptable behavior. He must take down Sakura.

  Schler stepped back a little, and the three of them retreated several steps. Schler smiled and introduced, "Be careful, this young man from Japan, Hagen is the strongest person I know, be careful he easily breaks your bones."

  Sakura furrowed his brow, the several heavy blows he had just dealt were full-strength, and if they had hit an ordinary high-level ninja, at least half of their bones would have been broken. But now, Hagen seemed to be unscathed, except for the wound on his chest that 'Killing Moon' had slashed open... Sakura let out a strange laugh, Ah yes, the wound cut by 'Killing Moon'.

  Hagen let out a loud roar, lowered his left shoulder and charged at Sakura with all his might. This time he was using full force, the power was astonishing, the air around him was squeezed out, making a loud "whooshing" sound, the wild wind curled up in all directions, blowing up countless dust and dirt. His right hand held that silver chain scythe, spinning wildly, ready to smash Sakura's head at any moment.

  Sakura tossed the long black scabbard of "Killing Moon" backwards, and one of the nine special ninjas caught it. With a left-handed gesture, all nine retreated ten or more steps, leaving the battlefield and watching intently. On the other side, Arthur's heart suddenly relaxed a bit - at least now it seemed like a fair 1-on-1 duel, and those nine guys with an aura of dark energy couldn't interfere with the battle anymore.

  Sakura grasped the sword with both hands, the hilt behind her body and half of the blade exposed in front of her. The blade was straight and stabbed towards Hagen's shield. Hagen was overjoyed, thinking that as soon as they made contact, he could use his great strength to smash Sakura's slender sword, which would shatter like an eggshell under his blow.

  Hagen's shield had not yet arrived, but the fierce wind he stirred up had already blown Sakura's hair and collar into disarray. Sakura suddenly let out a strange laugh, and before the tip of her sword even touched Hagen's tower shield, she seemed to be unable to withstand the force of the wind and drifted backwards, her figure twisting and turning in mid-air like a ghost. 'Killing Moon' seemed to have transformed into a soft silk ribbon, lightly drawing out over a dozen black sword auras that enveloped Hagen from all sides.

  Hagen miscalculated, where had he ever encountered the Eastern lightness? The most bizarre body shape and movement he had ever encountered were those of the vampires from the Dark Council, but even their movements were agile and powerful. Where did Sakura's cotton-like, powerless movements come from? He had already calculated the distance for his shield charge, planning to use the recoil from slamming into Sakura's body to stop himself, then swing out with his right hand's chain scythe. But Sakura's sudden floatation turned his plan into empty talk.

  Hagen's body wanted to stop, but his own momentum was too strong and he couldn't help but rush forward. A massive counterforce suddenly transmitted from the giant tower shield, causing Hagen's enormous recovery shield to be pulled in two directions by its own force and inertia, making him stumble and stagger for several steps.

  Sakura's black sword energy had already struck, and those seemingly disorderly sword energies happened to all land on Hagen's shoulder, accurately slashing one after another, the holy light on Hagen's body couldn't block these sword energies' continuous attacks, a flash of blood light, and his shoulder gained an inch-deep sword scar.

  Sakura Kyouko, who was floating and twisting in the air, stopped attacking. His left hand lightly touched the "Killing Moon" sword, and he muttered a few strange incantations. The black light on the "Killing Moon" sword surged, emitting a strange whining sound.

  Hagen let out a pained scream as the sword hummed. The gashes on his chest and shoulder suddenly burst open, tearing apart the muscle tissue around them, exposing the white bones underneath. Strangely, not a single drop of blood could be seen at the wound, as if something had swallowed up Hagen's flesh and blood. At the same time, powerful dark forces surged through Hagen's meridians, wildly rushing towards his heart with an almost intelligent fury.

  Hagen's blood vessels bulged, his eyeballs almost popping out, his eyes jumping wildly, and his entire body was in extreme pain, as if drenched in oil and set on fire. At the same time, Hagen felt like his heart had been injected with a hundred stimulants, beating frantically, and was about to burst out of his throat at any moment.

  Sakura laughed maniacally, her body floating ten meters in the air, a straight sword thrusting towards Hagen's heart.

  "Alas, young one, why do you fancy such flashy moves? You've already severely injured 'Hagen' with the power of that sword. Why not just behead him directly instead of jumping so high and showing off? Aren't you giving others a chance to intervene?"

  As soon as the words fell, Sker and Arthur had already pounced forward. Arthur pounced towards Hagen, who was rolling on the ground, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and pulled his massive body backwards. Sker's slender sword appeared in his hand, and in the twinkling of an eye, he stabbed out hundreds of swords, which clashed with Sakura's sword edge 'ding ding dang' hundreds of times. Sakura frowned, borrowed force to flip over, and lightly floated back ten meters.

  As for Murphy, he stood still on the spot, but he also summoned his own giant cross sword, slashing through the air with a white arc-shaped sword energy that rushed up to the sky, passing over Arthur and Scul, under his control of the giant sword, the sword energy rapidly descended, slashing towards the nine special ninjas, intercepting their possible unfavorable actions against Hagen. The nine special ninjas simultaneously drew their swords, striking in unison with a single blow, easily shattering Murphy's sword energy that didn't seem to have used much force.

  Sakura shook her head and said: "Your sword is shorter than mine, thinner too. In terms of speed, I'm at a disadvantage."

  Skull retreated a few steps, shaking his head and saying: "Your sword has more wonderful power than mine, I'm not necessarily your opponent in a fight." Skull didn't admit that Sakura was stronger than himself, but emphasized the strength of Sakura's 'Killing Moon'.

  Sakura smiled slyly and said frankly, "Yes, my 'Killing Moon' is a very powerful divine weapon. Unfortunately, this idiot was cut by me with one sword and still fought with me... Hehe, people like us all have the same weakness, don't we?"

  Arthur and Murphy simultaneously exerted their power, a strong holy light emanating from both of their hands, shining onto Hagen's body, expelling the dark energy within him. Skell didn't dare to turn his head back, staring at Sakura he asked: "So, what is our weakness? People like us? I don't think we Holy Knights and you assassins are the same kind of people."

  "Ah, truly a proud knight... Hmm, we are indeed the same kind of people, and we don't have particularly strong powers of our own, do we? What we rely on is the power of the sacred weapons in our hands. Normally, their power fills our bodies, so our resistance is far stronger than that of ordinary people. However, when we summon them and borrow their power to attack the enemy, a large part of our defensive strength disappears, and some people become just like ordinary people."

  Sikui's face turned iron-green and he didn't make a sound.

  Sakura continued to say with a teasing tone: "But at this time, the power of the divine soldier is too strong, our enemies generally do not have the opportunity to attack us, or they dare not directly attack us... Poor, poor big guy, his shield and this... chain hammer? The power is very great, unfortunately he has already been cut by me with a sword, the power on the sword has already lurked in his wound... Then, I know that such a fool, such a warrior who relies on his own muscles to bully others, generally does not mind having another small wound on his body, so lightly drew another line on his shoulder... So... Hehe."

  Skull gritted his teeth and said: "You're afraid of the power of that wound on your chest, can't directly knock down Hagen, are you?"

  Sakura smiled: "The answer is correct, but I don't have any prizes."

  Arthur and Murphy cursed in their hearts, if Hagen wasn't too careless, and if Sakura hadn't successfully ambushed Hagen at the beginning, how could Sakura have defeated Hagen so easily? Murphy muttered: "You stupid fool, you'll eventually die from your own carelessness... I've reminded you countless times, during battles, never underestimate even a small wound. Do you think you're an immortal god who won't die even if you bleed to death?"

  Sakura smiled and approached Skrull, saying: "I've found that you European warriors are a bit stupid, maybe it's because of your damned knight spirit... Our Japanese samurai also value the spirit of fair duel, but I was raised as an assassin ninja since childhood, I don't have the awareness to fight fairly like you guys."

  Arthur said in a low voice: "Skull, take him down. We can't let him disturb us. Hagen has a strong dark aura in his body. We need some time to help him."

  Sker heard this and took a few steps forward, his spirit firmly locked onto Sakura, and said with approval: "Your strategy is perfect... Do you understand? You really used a very effective tactic. Although you only used despicable means to defeat one of our companions, it has already made it impossible for the three of us to make a move... You know that your subordinate is not our opponent, don't you?"

  Sakura nodded honestly, with a pure and innocent look on his face, tilting his head to look at Skur: "You're so smart, I thought the same way... My subordinate who escaped back didn't explain clearly, I thought it was just one or two strong people who heavily injured him, but who knew it was four... Actually, from our fight earlier, I also saw that I can only hold my own against one of you, if two come at me together, I'd have to run away. If three of you work together, you can easily kill me. And as for my subordinate, probably fifty people would be needed to tie up just one of you, so I had no choice but to launch a sneak attack."

  "Skel said harshly: 'Hagen, that idiot, automatically presented his chest right in front of you.'"

  Sakura gently stretched out her right hand, took a step forward with her left foot, and dragged the long sword behind her body. Her left hand had a strange aura swirling around its fingertips as she smiled and said: "Yes, that guy's speed is very slow, and you are a speed-type warrior, aren't you? No need to delay any further... I severely injured one of them, just to avenge my subordinate's comminuted fracture. What about the three dead subordinates?"

  Sikuel sneered: "You can take me down? Your nine subordinates probably won't be able to join our battle group, right?"

  Sakura smiled slyly and said: "What if they launch a surprise attack on those three while I'm keeping you occupied?"

  Skull's face changed greatly, a large amount of white light burst forth from his body, enveloping him in a suit of half-body knight armor. With a flick of the flower sword in his hand, thousands of strands of fine silk-like lights shot out, filling the air with a faint 'hissing' sound.

  Sakura's face changed, her right hand wielding 'Killing Moon', over a hundred black sword shadows laid down a dense sword curtain in front of herself, her left hand's five fingers secretly plucked out, five faintly pinkish-red finger winds lightly attacked Skrull's lower body.

  Sukiru felt that his "dense thrust" had already pierced Sakura's sword curtain, and a few strands of white light had even approached the hem of her clothes. In the midst of his secret joy, he suddenly sensed an almost imperceptible fluctuation in the air, followed by the shock transmitted from the protective sacred light.

  Skull was shocked, his left hand subconsciously swung in the direction he sensed, and his body had already retreated three meters away. Five crimson finger winds gently wrapped around Skull's left hand, even emitting a few fine sparks of electricity. Skull only felt that his left hand was as if it had been soaked in warm water, extremely comfortable, but then, wave after wave of rapid and strange vibrations came from his hand, and powerful energy surged through his meridians straight into his heart.

  The knight's armor on Skell's upper body and the flower sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white light, emitting a strong holy light. Skell knelt down on one knee, chanting, and a milky white glow descended from the sky, enveloping Skell. The glow then disappeared. With the help of his sacred artifact, Skell cleared out the invading alien energy within his body, but he was already drenched in cold sweat. As for Sakura's cunning and sinister nature, Skell couldn't find any words to describe it.

  Sakura smiled, the 'Killing Moon' sword in her hand slashing out like a spirit snake. Her left hand occasionally poked out three to five fingers from the gaps in the sword wind, and she said with a smile: "Sorry about that, I've studied it before, European warriors rarely use their left hand to assist in battle, your left hand seems to be just for show? But we Easterners are different, we even have a special martial art called 'Finger Power', unfortunately you haven't seen it before, so you're at a disadvantage."

  Skylar stood still, silently swinging his flower sword, a dense web of swords blocking the sudden attack like cherry blossoms in a storm, but his upper body slowly leaned back.

  "Sakura muttered: 'Are you trying to intercept my power? Fine, I won't bother with you... Hmph.'"

  Sakura suddenly became like a child, slashing three times in a huff, and with the force of the backlash, her entire body jumped into the air, throwing away 'Killing Moon', and a black glow appeared on her body, floating in mid-air, then she closed her eyes and began to chant strange incantations.

  Killing Moon quietly floated in the air, accompanied by Sakura's incantation. A pale blue glow appeared around it, and the moon's energy seemed to take shape like a pool of clear water before being absorbed by Killing Moon like a whale sucking in water. Strangely, the more moonlight Killing Moon absorbed, the darker it became, until it eventually merged with the moon's color.

  On the ground, Skell's waist exerted force, and a sharp thrust pierced towards the cherry blossom in the sky. At the tip of the sword, a conical light extended backwards, and Skell shot through like a meteor.

  Yifang's eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head lightly, saying: "He just used that method again to suddenly boost his abilities... Is it really true that he's relying on the power of God?"

  Jester grumbled in dissatisfaction: "For someone like you who doesn't believe in the European gods, this can't be explained... This is a strike that erupts after the complete unity of spirit and flesh, containing almost all one's potential... Boss, you don't believe in gods, or rather, you're not willing to use your life to believe in gods, so it can't be done."

  As they spoke, Sakura's hand waved, and a burst of black energy suddenly exploded in the air, a black streak silently but swiftly slashing towards Skrull. If Skrull still insisted on attacking Sakura at this moment, he would be slashed to death before he could even touch her. Weighing his options, Skrull's wrist trembled slightly as he stabbed at the black streak. However, what was originally a perfect strike that contained all of his spiritual energy had already lost more than half of its power.

  A silent and soundless collision, a ring of half black and half white light ball rapidly expanded outward in all directions, the cloud layer in the sky seemed to be boiling and splashing snow, and a circle with a diameter of about one kilometer was torn open, and the moonlight shone down directly.

  Skull vomited blood, and a deep mark was scratched on his armor, falling off.

  Sakura spat blood, and on his body appeared a strange, jet-black armor with a helmet that had long horns, which fell from an even higher altitude. 'Killing Moon' seemed to have lost its spirit as it floated beside him.

  Skull smashed directly to the ground, pounding out a depression with a diameter of more than two meters, then bounced back, flew and smashed into the courtyard wall on one side, and rebounded back in disarray, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell weakly to the ground.

  Sakura was much luckier, Arthur and Murphy were powerless to save Skerl, but he was different, he still had nine special ninja subordinates. The nine special ninjas jumped into the air in a row, using their soft power to push Sakura's body, letting themselves share some of the powerful force on Sakura's body before falling to the ground.

  Even if the nine special ninjas had strong skills, the first three special ninjas still spat out a mouthful of blood on their own face masks and stumbled when they fell to the ground. Sakura was lucky to have these subordinates to help him, and with great effort, he managed to stand up on the ground, grasping the hilt of "Killing Moon" in his hand. He took a step forward, ready to chop off Skrull's head, but his internal organs were severely shaken, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood before falling to the ground again. Sakura regretted in his heart: "If I had summoned 'Demon King' from the beginning, how would I have suffered such a serious injury? That guy's mental deviation has reduced its power by a lot... Damn it, I was too arrogant, and this can never happen again."

  Nine special ninjas whizzed, lifted Sakura, and in one move landed on the wall of the Tower of London. The ninja holding Sakura turned back with a sly smile, shouting in stuttering English: "You wait and see, our Chrysanthemum's pursuit will follow you for life... Ga ga, either you die or we perish, endless, you wait and see."

  Nine special ninjas jumped away far, and Yi Chen's hand grabbed a single-soldier laser-guided anti-tank missile beside him.

  Jester suddenly pressed down on something he couldn't hold back and rushed straight towards the Tower of London.

  Fēi Lì Yáng threw out a crystal clear ice strip, wrapping it around Jie Si Tè's waist, but Jie Si Tè suddenly turned his head, and red tears actually dripped from his eyes. Yì Chén's heart shook, and with a flick of his right hand, he cut off Fēi Lì Yáng's ice strip. Jie Si Tè let out a mad roar, suddenly tore off his own collar, covering the lower half of his face, and with a wave of his hand, brought out two dragon-slaying daggers, bringing up two dark lights as he pounced forward.

  Less than half a second after the nine special jutsu users dropped their curses and flew away, Skeer was already struggling to get up strongly, using his sword to support himself as he walked towards Arthur, and then a strange ripple appeared in the air.

  Skull's terrified roar echoed: "Beware, there are attackers." He used up his last bit of strength to conjure a hazy sword aura that resembled spring rain, stabbing towards the nearest few strands of waves. Blood splattered everywhere, and a strange blood mist floated out from the air. Then, three flashes of sword light struck down at Skull in the midst of a furious roar, causing Skull's sword light to scatter wildly as he retreated with weak, disordered steps, despairingly roaring: "You despicable Japanese!"

  Three special ninjas emerged from the air, ignoring the wounds on their bodies caused by the flower sword, and roared like a mad tiger, suddenly unleashing "Thousand Linked Slashes", with dazzling sword lights surrounding Skell. Fortunately, Skell had his knight armor to protect him, and the white light shield continued to tremble, withstanding the fatal attacks one after another. However, the three vital spots on his chest, lower body, and throat were already dimmed by the stormy attacks, and were about to be extinguished.

  Arthur and Murphy exchanged a helpless glance, fortunately the dark power in Hagen's body had been forced out of his disguise. Arthur suddenly kicked his foot, released his hand, and with a swing of his arm, the Stone Sword shot out a white arc of light, shooting out in all directions.

  Other special ninjas in the air roared, cutting out a full-force sword, but Arthur was also full-strength, hating him extremely, he didn't care about his own defense at all, and frantically cut out continuously. The seven special ninjas had no power to resist, and they were cut into pieces along with their swords, and then completely annihilated in the strong holy light.

  Arthur roared and rushed towards the three special ninjas who were chasing Sker, shouting: "Kill a seriously injured person, you bunch of bastards, don't you have any sense of justice?"

  Arthur hadn't even reached the location when he suddenly let out a miserable cry. He had no defense against such an eerie attack method, but the ground indeed spat out a gleaming sword blade that pierced his foot. Arthur's armor could protect more than 75% of his body, but his face, hands, and feet were exposed. Although he had holy light protection, Arthur concentrated most of his power on the Stone Sword, leaving no defensive strength behind. The long sword that suddenly stabbed out from the ground carried some strange power, dispelling the holy light on Arthur's body and piercing his foot, which was not much stronger than a normal person's.

  Arthur's mind flashed with a burst of inspiration, and he turned around in terror, shouting loudly: "Murphy, oh God, be careful!" His stone sword emitted a thick beam of light, stabbing into the ground, and a gush of blood erupted from the earth. Arthur had already jumped up, and then slashed at the ground thirty-seven times in succession, instantly turning three special ninjas who were hiding underground using stealth techniques into minced meat.

  Murphy stared as a sword grew out of Arthur's foot, his mind short-circuited by the bizarre sight. But Arthur's roar brought him back to his senses, and with a swing of his left hand, his massive war sword sliced into the ground, causing the entire Tower of London to shudder from the force of the blow.

  Nine special ninjas who had approached from below were instantly killed, while the four in the rear continued to advance recklessly. After estimating the position, they stabbed upwards with their swords.

  Murphy let out a pained roar as the four special jounin's swords stabbed into him, one of them piercing directly through his heel and into his calf bone, tearing through his knee cap and into his thigh bone. The 'water' attribute's chilling power attached to the sword caused all the tissue around the blade to freeze up. At this moment, most of Murphy's holy energy was being used to force out Hagen's dark power, where did he have the spare energy to protect himself? Murphy's vision went black and he almost fainted.

  But Murphy, being a powerful warrior trained by the Vatican, continued to slash his sword into the ground and then jumped up, pulling his foot out of the seemingly miserable sword blade.

  Four special jounin were killed by Murphy's desperate blow, and two of the three swords had already pierced through Hagen's body. One sword pierced Hagen's right shoulder, while another slanted through his pelvis. Hagen, who was already weakened to the extreme by the power of "Killing Moon", let out a miserable cry and completely fainted.

  "Arthur, hold on! Hagen is almost gone!" he shouted. Without time to use the holy light to heal his own wounds, as soon as he landed, he continued to emit holy light with all his might, enveloping the unconscious Hagen. With a flick of his hand, he sent the two long swords flying back to the ground, and his holy light quickly stimulated Hagen's bodily functions, causing his injured areas to rapidly heal.

  Arthur didn't have time to think about that anymore, on the other side, three special ninjas had already forced the heavily injured Skell to a dead end. The holy light on Skell's body was dim and without luster, and he was about to be chopped into pieces. Arthur jumped with one foot, flew over, and swung his sword, cutting off the heads of the three people. He then pulled Skell over, held him in his left hand, and poured his own holy power into him. After that, he rushed towards Murphy. Under such a strange assassination by Japanese ninjas, it's likely that only four people gathering together could barely cope with it. Now, two of the four were heavily injured and lost their combat effectiveness, while the other two had foot injuries, greatly reducing their mobility. If another attacker came now...

  Teku's raid began when Arthur slipped Skur back into Murphy's side, all in just over a second.

  Arthur's desperate cry echoed through the air as two dark dragons descended upon him, their power unstoppable. "I'll fight you to the death!" Arthur bellowed, "Don't harm my friends!" The Stone Sword flew out of his hand, radiating an intense light that shot straight at Jester.

  Jester's left hand transformed into a dark, flying sword that shot towards Sker's head, while his right hand also transformed and clashed with the Stone Sword in mid-air. Jester himself quickly began to chant an incantation to summon Satan's power, as black flames erupted from his body. He formed a cross-like shape and soared into the air, 100 meters high, as the star force within him surged wildly, replenishing his rapidly depleting magic with a powerful surge of true yuan energy.

  Jester was surprised to see his abilities enhanced, and the initial effort to release a single blow almost drained his 'Reversed Cross Holy Light', but he managed to fire three consecutive shots. Even the black cross seemed to emit crystal-like light. However, Jester didn't have time to be happy, as his body shook, and the Dragon Slaying Dagger, which had clashed with the stone sword, transmitted the shockwave to Jester's heart without any loss.

  Arthur gazed despairingly at the three pitch-black 'Reversed Cross Holy Light' that seemed like devils, and he roared: "I'll fight it out with you evil guys!!" The knight armor that Arthur wore suddenly burst forth from his body, each part emitting endless white light, forming a three-dimensional magic array that enveloped Arthur and the four of them.

  Skull suddenly let out a shrill cry, and before the defensive array had taken shape, Jest's left hand flew out with a dragon-slaying dagger, lightly slicing off his left hand, which then shattered into powder in the sword light. A dark glow then shot out hastily.

  The courtyard walls around the Tower of London collapsed with a loud crash, and the defensive formation composed of three "Reversed Cross Holy Light" and King Arthur's armor was hit, causing the exploded energy to tear the surrounding ground into huge cracks. The main building of the Tower of London also collapsed in the chaotic flash of black and white light.

  When Jester's Dragon Slaying Dagger and Stone Sword clashed, the Western Holy Artifact and Eastern Immortal Artifact finally had a direct conversation. Although Jester's power was insufficient, although his "Tian Xing Jue" cultivation was not enough to unleash one percent of the Dragon Slaying Dagger's power, the Stone Sword's overbearing holy energy surged out, equivalent to directly attacking the Dragon Slaying Dagger itself. Thus, the Tian Xing Sect's founding ancestor, Tian Xing Old Man, who had been storing up his energy for a hundred years, suddenly burst forth with a majestic aura, and a silver light flashed, causing the Stone Sword to let out a pained cry, shattering a gap in it, and sending it tumbling down. As for Jester, his heart and soul were connected to the Dragon Slaying Dagger's heart blood, and he had already been shaken out of one mouthful of heart blood, rendering him powerless, and using the two paths of the Dragon Slaying Dagger's power, he transformed into a dark rainbow and escaped.

  Arthur's entire body shook violently, his two knees softened and he knelt to the ground. A large amount of holy power surged back into his own body. The armor of King Arthur, which had been shining brightly just a moment before, suddenly dimmed significantly.

  Arthur and Murphy suddenly shook with despair, a silver rainbow from over 500 meters away swept across the high-rise building, rushing straight at them. Arthur closed his eyes in despair, he recognized it, this was the same person who had launched the previous two surprise attacks on the Tower of London.

  But Yi Chen didn't 'take advantage of your illness to take your life', instead, with a few strange and crazy laughs, he mocked a punch that blasted open the iron door of the underground secret room, rushing into the place where the British royal family had collected treasures for hundreds of years. Yi Chen pointed with his right hand, a faint silver mist swept over the treasures in the underground chamber, and his body transformed into a rainbow and left again. As he passed by Arthur's side, Yi Chen shouted strangely: "Thanks, thanks... 'Mountain of Light', I won't be polite."

  Arthur was so angry that his whole body shook and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  In the distance, on a high-rise building, Feri, Fir and Goll followed Yichun's arrangement, three anti-tank missiles had been fired at Arthur and his team. After the last three explosions, Arthur fell to the ground powerlessly, his last bit of energy was completely destroyed by these three missiles, and the floating armor in the sky also fell down with him. Only Murphy, who almost got one leg completely disabled, raised his sword to the sky and vowed: "I'll get you bastards, those damned Japanese..." All the emotional accounts were calculated by Murphy on Sakura's head.

  Sakura took thirty-six special jounin to the Tower of London, nine special jounin brought him back to the casino, twenty-seven went to ambush Arthur and his men, as a result twenty-six were killed, only one ninja who was in charge of leading those twenty-six special jounin sighed and returned to the casino.

  This escaped special ninja suddenly appeared in front of Sakura, who was sitting powerlessly on the floor in the center of the hall, and kneeled down on one knee, saying: "Master, I'm sorry, we failed. We seriously injured three of them, but our strength was really too different... All my companions were defeated, so I wanted to bring you the last message, so I didn't mind the shame and escaped back. Please forgive me, Master, and please don't take away my honor in the family."

  As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Sakura to respond, the special ninja drew his own treasured sword and swiftly slashed a cross on his own abdomen. Sakura let out a loud roar, drawing "Killer Moon" and chopping off his head.

  "Remember, from now on, no more meaningless sacrifices... Those bastards are not people you can handle, it's my plan that was wrong, not yours. You have no guilt, do you understand? Take good care of him and send him back to the Yamaguchi-gumi, and give him a proper burial in the Fuji Mountain tomb... From now on, I won't allow my subordinates to sacrifice themselves in vain, do you understand? Your lives are the most precious things to me."

  Including the five-ring alliance of ninjas, everyone present let out a "hey" and respectfully knelt down to Sakura... Perhaps, compared to the chrysanthemum's elderly, Sakura, who can value the lives of his subordinates, has a much greater appeal to these ninjas, even if it is hypocritical. At least Sakura can say this in front of these ninjas, while those elders will always regard ninjas as tools only...

  Sakura easily suppressed her own injuries, thinking anxiously: "I was too arrogant, I didn't bring a veil and went to challenge others, but now my face has been seen by someone... Damn it, how should I deal with this?"

  Cherry had no experience in dealing with such troublesome things, and he was extremely reluctant to ask for advice from Yamaguchi. After thinking about it for half a day, he finally found someone he could trust, that is, Yichen.

  At this moment, Yichun was already in the underground chamber, laughing with a sly smile as if he had picked up a hundred beautiful women on the road. He held the 'Mountain of Light' that had been dismantled from the king's crown and couldn't close his mouth. And Feili... Feili was already in a state of extreme intoxication, hugging a large pile of priceless treasures, her eyes filled with little stars as she stared blankly. According to Yichun's promise, except for the 'Mountain of Light', everything else that caught her eye belonged to her. How could Feili not be overjoyed?

  Even Jester was sitting in the corner with a silly grin on his face, muttering some sort of prayer under his breath... No matter what, Arthur and his group had suffered greatly this time, so why shouldn't he be happy? And besides, the boss had brought back so many treasures that the British royal family would definitely not let Arthur off easily, especially those three holy knights - they might even be accused of being thieves, just thinking about it was exciting...

  Phil and Gore sat beside him, smiling and carefully evaluating the value of some jewels in their hands. Chekhov... Chekhov simply put several large gems into his mouth, with a look of intoxication on his face, not afraid of suddenly swallowing them and choking himself to death.

  Tonight is wonderful for Yichun and them...
