Fifty years ago, the Land of Salvation connected to Earth. Since then, the world has undergone global mutations.
When everyone turns eighteen, they have a chance to awaken a Lord's Mark a...
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Takeru Ito's lips curled up, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Foolish Chinese!
Last time, they only managed to beat me because of luck!
In a moment, I'm going to show you what true despair is!
Taking advantage of the terrain within the ruins, I launched a thunderous offensive right from the start.
This time, you will absolutely not have that elusive luck again.
But under my stealth attack, you will be crippled instantly.
They didn't even have the chance to admit defeat.
"Do we really want to fight him again?" Zhao Ganwu walked over and whispered in his ear, "Last time it was purely luck. That little Japanese devil's invisibility technique is still very troublesome."
"Now that I've accepted the challenge, there's no reason to back down! Relax, I won't lose!" Su Bai smiled slightly: "I am the chosen one, I will never lose!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ganwu said nothing more.
But the worry in his eyes never subsided.
"Although the artifact is indeed very tempting, defeating Ito Ken once again will not be so easy." Lei Heng's eyes also carried a trace of worry.
Back then, he only made a rash move because he wanted to win the Longquan Sword.
As a result, they lost both their wife and their army.
Not only did they lose many resources, but they also lost the legendary forging hammer.
Fortunately, Su Bai took to the field and won them all back.
Otherwise, Lei Heng would be heartbroken for a year, or even longer.
"Don't worry! I have my own plans!"
Su Bai smiled slightly, appearing very calm.
“This time, Ken Ito will definitely be on guard! Trying to defeat him by luck alone is probably harder than climbing to heaven!” Lei Heng’s voice clearly lacked confidence.
He advised, "Luck is a fickle thing! That Dark Heart must be incredibly valuable! It would be a real shame to lose to the Japanese! Let's give up on this battle!"
Su Bai shook his head.
He had a broad chest and spoke with great eloquence.
His eyes snapped open, and two piercing gazes shot out.
"Even if I am no match for my sworn enemy, the Japanese, I will still draw my sword and fight them!"
"I absolutely cannot tolerate being provoked and trampled on by these Japanese devils even though we are in the Land of Redemption!"
"No matter what, I will do my best to thoroughly crush the arrogance of the Japanese!"
"The spirits of the millions of Chinese who died because of Japan in the last century are watching over me!"
"I will absolutely not lose this battle!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ganwu and Lei Heng looked at Su Bai with a different kind of meaning.
It was surprise!
It's amazing!
I admire you even more!
"If all Chinese people had such pride and will, this tiny island nation would have been wiped out long ago!" Lei Heng exclaimed, his heart pounding with emotion.
"What a pity! My identity is that of a lone wolf, otherwise, I would definitely have entered the ruins and fought the Japanese devils!" Zhao Ganwu clenched his fists and said bitterly.
Su Bai's words reached the assembled lords.
Not only Chinese people, but even some foreigners were filled with admiration.
It's astonishing that someone so young could utter such bold words.
For a moment, cheers and shouts of encouragement filled the arena.
Without exception, they were all cheering for Su Bai!
...
One minute later.
Inside the ruins.
The two bets were enveloped in a magical light and floated in mid-air.
Su Bai and Ito Ken stood facing each other.
Their gazes clashed, and the air crackled with tension.
"This time, I will go all out and I will not be careless! You have no chance!"
The words fell.
Takeru Ito drew his katana, dashed forward, activated his invisibility technique, and vanished.
Unlike last time, this time he immediately unleashed his killing move, attacking straight at him.
However, under the effect of the Eye of Insight.
Takeru Ito's invisibility technique was completely ineffective.
His figure came into Su Bai's view very clearly.
"Let me take one more gamble. You're definitely right in front of me!"
Su Bai pretended not to know.
He gathered a psionic whip in his right hand and began to sweep it forward.
At this moment, Ken Ito had already rushed to the right and circled around to the rear.
The samurai sword, its blade blazing with three feet of flame, slashed straight at Su Bai's back.
"boom!"
A loud explosion occurred.
The samurai sword broke in two.
Ken Ito was blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his invisibility technique vanished.
"Just as I predicted! I knew you would attack from behind!"
Su Bai grinned: "The psionic bomb I prepared for you in advance must have felt really good, right?"
Then, exactly the same thing happened as before.
Taking advantage of Ito Ken's injury and unstable footing.
Su Bai's fists rained down like a storm.
"You little devil, it seems your luck isn't so good!"
"Stop fighting! I...I give up!"
In just a few breaths, Kenichi Ito's head turned into a pig's head again.
The battle ended much faster than last time.
When the two reappeared outside the arena, all the lords watching were filled with disbelief, shock, and horror.
"My God! What's going on?"
"Su Bai is simply a lucky guy!"
"Twice in a row, a casual strike, and it hit Ito Ken precisely!"
"This lord of the Dragon Kingdom is incredibly lucky!"
"I'm so envious! Such incredible luck directly broke the invisibility spell!"
"Although I hoped this young man would win this battle, I didn't expect him to win so quickly!"
"Ito Takeru is so unlucky! He lost twice in a row today, without even realizing it!"
"The divine weapon, the Longquan Sword, now belongs to Su Bai!"
"That's a divine artifact! Even though it's damaged, it's still extremely valuable!"
Lei Heng rubbed his eyes, somewhat unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
He exclaimed in shock, "What incredible luck! A casual attack, and it hit Ito Ken with pinpoint accuracy!"
"If we're talking about luck, I only admire Su Bai!" Zhao Ganwu sighed.
"When fighting the Japanese devils, you have to be lucky!" Su Bai said with a smile to the two of them.
He stored the [Heart of Darkness] in his storage space.
He looked at the silver longsword in his hand.
The sword is about 1.2 meters long and is inlaid with the Big Dipper pattern.
The sword blade was sharp, reflecting a cold, eerie light.
The surface of the sword hilt is covered with tortoise-shell-like cracks, adding a sense of ancient and weathered history.
[Divine Weapon: The Damaged Seven-Star Dragon Spring Sword]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Introduction: Legend has it that in order to forge this sword, the ancient sages of the human race carved open Cishan Mountain, released the mountain streams, and led them to seven pools arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper next to the sword-forging furnace, hence the name "Seven Stars".]
After the sword was completed, looking down at its blade was like looking down from a high mountain into a deep abyss. It was ethereal and profound, as if a giant dragon was coiled there. Hence the name "Dragon Abyss".
To avoid using the taboo name of the human emperor, the character "渊" was changed to "泉", resulting in the "Seven Star Dragon Spring", or simply "Dragon Spring Sword".
"Legendary quality!"
"Although this Seven Star Dragon Spring Sword is a damaged divine weapon, its power completely surpasses that of ordinary weapons!"
Su Bai gazed at the silver longsword in his hand.
The faint light flowing across the sword blade subtly formed a dragon the size of a finger, tumbling and dancing.
"This time, we've really struck it rich! We've won back a legendary weapon from the Japanese!" Zhao Ganwu laughed heartily.
"Seeing the Japanese looking so dejected is truly inspiring!" Lei Heng said with a smile.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so worried before! I didn't expect to win so easily!"
Su Bai laughed loudly: "Perhaps it's because the Japanese devils have committed so many evils that I've been divinely aided and have won victory after victory!"
The eye of insight must not be exposed.
Su Bai had no choice but to tell another white lie.
“Now that we’ve taken the Longquan Sword, there’s no point in staying here any longer!” Zhao Ganwu said.
"We've had a great haul, let's head out now!"
Su Bai grinned, his face practically beaming with joy.
This unexpected surprise during the trip is certainly a very happy thing.
Moreover, in front of many lords, he brutally beat up the Japanese lord twice in a row.
Just thinking about it makes me realize how exciting it is!
And so, as they talked, they turned around and prepared to leave.
Just then.
A somber voice suddenly rang out.
"etc!"
Leave behind the Longquan Sword!
"Otherwise, you won't be leaving here today!"
The speaker was Ken Ito.
Ignoring the redness and swelling on his face, he stared intently at Su Bai and the others with a sinister gaze.
"What? Are you Japanese so sore losers?"
Su Bai stopped, opened his eyes, and his gaze, sharp as knives, shot out.
The lords watching from the sidelines immediately erupted in a gasp of surprise.
"How can the lord of Japan be so untrustworthy?"
"What a joke! To talk about 'trust' with the Japanese is to tarnish the very word!"
"My God! I never imagined that the Japanese lord could be so shameless!"
"You wagered the divine weapon, the Longquan Sword, and now that you've lost, why are you going back on your word?"
"The credibility of the Japanese lord has long been rotten to the core in the Land of Redemption!"
"As the lord of England, I strongly condemn this shameless act of the Japanese!"
"The Japanese have been shameless for centuries! You'll have to get used to it!"
"From now on, I will never conduct any transactions with any Japanese lord."
Besides the lords of the Dragon Kingdom, other foreign lords also began to criticize Kenichi Ito.
After all, everyone witnessed the entire incident.
They lost the bet but refused to admit it!
This would be a shameless and despicable act in any country.
"Baka!"
"You guys!"
"How dare you, the Great Japanese Empire, point fingers and make irresponsible remarks!"
Takeru Ito's voice was shrill and sounded extremely crazy.
He finally stopped pretending, and his true nature was immediately revealed.
"Damn it! Those little devils, they're shameless! They lost and they're refusing to admit it!" Zhao Ganwu spat and cursed.
Lei Heng, his face contorted with anger, also cursed, "The lords of Japan are all utterly faithless scoundrels!"
Going back on one's word and breaking the bet.
If they lose a one-on-one duel, they will use their army to plunder items.
Such despicable behavior was met with curses from all the lords present.
"Leave behind my divine weapon, the Longquan Sword, or none of you will escape!"
Takeru Ito's face was fierce as he raised his hand and waved it.
An army of 80,000 jackals appeared from both sides of the mountain ridge.
It kicked up clouds of dust, rolling and surging like a tidal wave.
They quickly surrounded Su Bai, Kerrigan, Zhao Ganwu, and Lei Heng.
At this moment, in order to reclaim the Longquan Sword, even with many lords watching, Ito Ken was determined to go back on his word.
"Damn it! That bastard actually laid an ambush with so many troops beforehand!" Lei Heng's face showed shock, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
He never expected that, in front of everyone, Ken Ito would actually resort to violence to snatch back the lost bet.
"My troops are still within the territory and can't get here anytime soon! What should I do?"
Lei Heng hurriedly called for reinforcements, but the distance was too far.
It would take another full hour to get to the battlefield.
Zhao Ganwu clenched his fists and couldn't help but curse, "These damned Japanese devils are as shameless as ever!"
His gaze toward Ito Ken was now filled with boundless killing intent.
"Ito Ken, are you sure you want to do this?"
Su Bai looked around without any fear, his eyes filled with nonchalance.
At the same time, through mental perception, he commanded 100,000 strange dragons to come immediately.
The 80,000 gnoll army was of a higher level than the alien dragons.
However, the overall combat strength of the alien dragons far surpasses that of these gnoll soldiers.
Furthermore, the alien dragon is extremely fast and excels in mobility.
Unlike Lei Heng's troops, they could arrive quickly in a short time.
Furthermore, the troops within Lei Heng's territory still need time to be assembled and reorganized, making the process even slower.
Meanwhile, the alien dragon army is always ready.
Just waiting for Su Bai's command, it immediately spread its wings and soared into the air, flying towards its destination.
"Hand over my divine weapon, the Dragon Spring Sword, or you will all die!"
Takeru Ito's face was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.
Under the leadership of that gnoll hero, the gnoll army's encirclement was now complete.
As for the lords watching from the sidelines, although they felt extremely disgusted by Ito Ken's behavior, they dared not step forward rashly.
He simply stood at a distance, observing the situation.
"Your Longquan sword? You're really shameless! That sword was clearly lost as part of the bet!" Zhao Ganwu replied coldly.
"Don't give me that! In short, leave the Longquan Sword behind before you can leave! Otherwise, hmph!" Ito Ken said arrogantly.
The curve of his lips suggested he had already secured victory.
"I advise you not to create trouble that you can't control, or you'll pay the price!" Su Bai said calmly as he glanced at Ito Ken.
"Surrounded by my gnoll army? How dare you say such a thing?" Ken Ito laughed angrily. "Are all you Chinese as ignorant and overconfident as you? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"How can people from that tiny island nation be so shameless?" Zhao Ganwu's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger as he couldn't help but curse.
"Gan Wu, if a battle breaks out, I'll hold off the enemy while you cover Su Bai's escape from the battlefield!" Lei Heng spoke rapidly, "No matter what, I brought you here, and I will protect you with my life!"
