"Guihai One-Blade, you're not so cocky now, huh? Time to die!" At that moment, seeing Guihai One-Blade spit a mouthful of blood, Eagle King and Bat King burst out laughing. Clearly, things had gone way better than they expected—nobody thought Guihai would be this badly hurt!
In an instant, the World Dominion Society's crew swarmed in from all sides, treating Guihai One-Blade like a juicy steak—everyone wanted a bite.
You gotta realize, Guihai One-Blade is a living legend. If anyone here manages to take him out, their fame will skyrocket—the whole martial arts world would be talking about it for years.
"You bunch of nobodies think you're worthy to kill me?" Even though Guihai One-Blade was seriously wounded, he was still a force to be reckoned with. Right then, his body shifted again, unleashing the full force of the Infernal Madblade—this time, even stronger than ever. Each blade glowed blood-red, showing he was fighting with everything he had left.
"Blood Blade? Damn, even now he can still pull out the Blood Blade—no wonder they call him the Saber God!" Seeing those blood-red blades appear, Eagle King's face darkened.
Bat King gritted his teeth too—clearly, this Blood Blade was no ordinary move. It was another one of Guihai's signature killer techniques. Whenever the Blood Blade came out, someone was bound to die. Of course, it also took a heavy toll on Guihai himself.
But at this point, Guihai One-Blade clearly didn't care about anything anymore!
"Blood Blade Slash—kill!" Guihai One-Blade roared, and a storm of blood-red blades swept out, blanketing the sky.
"Block it!" Eagle King shouted, instantly raising the Extinction God Axe to chop down the Blood Blades coming his way. The others weren't so lucky—especially the Five Elements Banner. Their combined defense was shattered in a flash, and those five were about to be sliced to pieces.
Right then, Eagle King suddenly leapt high into the air, swinging the Extinction God Axe straight at Guihai One-Blade's head—a move meant to finish things once and for all. Instantly, Guihai spat another mouthful of blood.
Those Blood Blades instantly lost their murderous bite, going limp like dead fish in midair.
"What are you waiting for—smash them!" Bat King bellowed. Instantly, the whole crowd lunged; in a blink, every floating Blood Blade was swept away, not a drop left behind!
With the Blood Blades shattered, Guihai One-Blade looked like a whole different person. All the color drained from his face—and even scarier, cracks started crawling across his body. The Blood Blade had obviously torn at his very core, and with all his other injuries, he looked ready to fall apart at any second!
Now it wasn’t just blood from his mouth—every crack on his body was bleeding. The sight was so brutal, it made everyone’s heart clench and guts churn.
"Senior!" Jinbiao Chen, Simon Sun and the rest nearly dropped to their knees. Guihai was burning his own life to shield them from these monsters, determined to help them with the last drop of his blood!
But nobody could help—this was a showdown between top-tier gods. Without a true God Realm expert, Guihai One-Blade was doomed.
In that instant, everyone’s mind flashed with a single name—Ryan Ling.
Only Ryan Ling could flip this mess... but where was he now?
"Guihai One-Blade, gotta admit, you’re tough. Even with all your insides wrecked, you still managed a Blood Blade strike—respect. But this is your swan song. Everyone, join forces! Here’s your chance to carve your name into legend—kill!" Eagle King roared. Guihai’s power was dropping fast; he clearly couldn’t hold them back anymore.
That fired everyone up—each person went all out, unleashing their strongest moves. For a moment, it felt like all of Goldridge City was shaking, with every blast focused on Guihai One-Blade alone.
At that moment, even Guihai One-Blade himself closed his eyes, resigned. With the Extinction God Axe and all that power coming down, there was no way he’d survive this.
But right then—bam! A hailstorm of bullets ripped across the field, sweeping toward Eagle King and his crew. At the same time, a chorus of voices shouted out.
"Fight them to the end!"
"Guihai One-Blade, hang in there! Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Anyone who tries to cause trouble on my boss’s turf, I’ll take him down myself!"
...
The ones shouting? None other than Harvey “Million” Jin, Jason Lin, and the rest. Word had gotten out about Goldridge City being under siege, so they’d rushed over, guns blazing. Sure, their firepower wasn’t exactly world-shaking, but that sudden barrage made all the thugs instinctively back off several steps, throwing off their killing strike.
Guihai One-Blade, at the very last second, dodged the fatal blow by sheer luck. He was barely hanging on, but at least he’d survived this round!
"You guys showed up just in time! You’re all anti-Japan war heroes—these punks wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!" Serena Yan shot a look, and a few people dashed over to Guihai’s side at top speed. While Eagle King and the others gawked at how many people Harvey had brought, Guihai finally got yanked to safety.
"Eagle King, what do we do about these guys?" Bat King hesitated, clearly thrown by the sudden arrival. Serena was right—these people were all decorated anti-Japan fighters. Attacking them now would be a PR disaster.
"Quit panicking. At most they brought a hundred or so. This is the perfect chance—wipe them all out, and who’s gonna know?" Eagle King gritted his teeth. This was the best shot he’d ever have at killing Guihai One-Blade. No way he was letting it slip.
"You maniacs! You really think you can kill us? Aren’t you afraid the whole country will spit on your graves? You’re going against Heaven itself!" Harvey bellowed, loud enough to shake the walls.
A couple of the Five Elements Banner guys wavered, but Eagle King didn’t give a damn. He shot into the air, the Extinction God Axe in his hand crackling with black, murderous energy.
"Block me and you die! Everyone here goes to Hell today—kill!" Eagle King roared, swinging the Extinction God Axe down at Guihai One-Blade in a frenzy.
"Block it or die trying!" Harvey and the others didn’t hesitate. They rushed in front of Guihai One-Blade, forming a desperate human shield against the god-slaying axe.
Jason Lin, Warren Yuan, Frank Qin... everyone piled in. Their collective defense flared at once, and just then, the ancient Primeval Heavenwood barrier Ryan had set up around the villa burst to life. The two forces fused, barely holding off the deadly strike.
"You damn ants, bugs, trash! You dare block me? I’ll send you all straight to Hell!" Eagle King was practically foaming at the mouth, his supreme authority being challenged by gnats. He’d totally lost it.
"Hold the line!"
"Hold the line!"
"Even if we die, hold the line!"
In a flash, over a hundred defenders coughed up blood—no matter how many joined forces, they just couldn’t withstand the Extinction God Axe’s insane power.
It looked like everyone was about to collapse—the whole crew was seconds away from being slaughtered and silenced.
Just then, a convoy of armored vehicles rumbled onto the scene, their massive cannons swinging to lock onto the World Dominion Society goons. At least a thousand soldiers surrounded the area, and overhead, armed helicopters thundered. A voice boomed out:
"Eagle King, drop your weapon NOW! You’re standing against the entire nation—against all of China! Keep this up and Heaven itself will strike you down! All artillery, target these bastards—blow them to hell!" The speaker? None other than the commander of the Goldridge Military Region, frontline leader of the anti-Japan war. As the guns trained on Eagle King, a swarm of reporters pointed their cameras straight at him, eyes blazing with fury. The World Dominion Society’s attempt to massacre war heroes and civilians had finally ignited the wrath of the army—and the whole country.
