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...
"You?"
Su Bai chuckled and took a step back.
The swarm of insects instantly surrounded him, and the hydralisks flicked their tails, dangerously flicking their tongues at Aoki.
Aoki stopped in his tracks, his face full of displeasure.
"You lowly rat, do you dare to fight me one-on-one! What kind of skill is it to rely solely on swarms of insects!?"
"Swarms are one of my skills, so how can it not be considered a one-on-one fight?"
Su Bai shrugged indifferently.
Without breaking the rules, the swarm should naturally come in handy.
Not to mention he's Su Bai!
If he were to stick to the rules so rigidly, he wouldn't be Su Bai.
This move clearly gave Aoki a lot of trouble.
He never expected Su Bai to be so shameless!
If it were a pure one-on-one duel, how could he possibly take Su Bai seriously!
"A coward is a coward, only good for hiding behind insects and living a life of shame. He's a real piece of trash who can't stand the light of day!"
Aoki put away his katana, trying to provoke Su Bai into making a move.
How could Su Bai fall for his trick?
"No, you only know how to hide behind a katana, don't you?"
He wagged his index finger and then beckoned with his hand in a provocative manner.
"Provocation won't work on me. If you're scared, just say so."
Aoki's forehead veins bulged instantly. How could a great Japanese samurai be afraid?!
"Dare to underestimate a samurai? I'll make you pay the price!"
He roared and drew his katana once more, slashing at the swarm of insects.
"I'll see who pays the price!"
Su Bai spoke sharply, and a faint halo emanated from him, spreading outwards towards the swarm of insects.
He unleashed a [Aura of Courage], reigniting the fighting spirit of the entire swarm.
In terms of height, Aoki is at a significant disadvantage.
His katana was of little use at this moment.
No matter how hard you chop, you're just chopping at thin air.
The horizontal slash not only failed to split the swarm of insects, but also nearly caused him to lose his footing because he missed his target.
"Su Bai!"
Aoki, enraged by his own impotence, roared.
Before Su Bai could respond, there was a "whoosh" sound as the bone needles shot out by the Hydralisk pierced directly into his eyeball.
"Well--"
He let out a painful groan and instinctively touched his eyes.
Such an action will only cause the bone needle to penetrate deeper.
Blood streamed down his face, staining his entire face a horrifying red.
In addition, there are some signs of corrosion.
This is all thanks to the cockroach slime on the bone needle.
The intense corrosiveness combined with the excruciating pain meant that his eye was completely beyond saving.
Aoki is now unable to do anything but let out powerless roars.
Su Bai looked down at him, his narrowed eyes as if he were looking at an ant.
Perhaps everyone thinks that the individual strength of the Zerg is not strong and is not a threat.
But in the eyes of a massive swarm of thousands of insects, aren't they just tiny ants?
So weak that all it takes is a bone needle and a clump of cockroach saliva to make it writhe in pain on the ground.
He stepped on Qingmu Chong's head with one foot, pressing his head down to force him to kowtow.
What are you doing!?
The soldiers behind him shouted and were about to charge forward.
"Dare to take a step forward, and I'll kill him on the spot!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Aoki's voice followed closely after Su Bai's, and everyone present had no choice but to stay put and stare intently at the scene.
"Aren't you the best at committing seppuku as an apology? Why don't you commit seppuku right here, and I'll let them go? How about that?"
The swarm of insects circled around him and lay prostrate around him.
The sound of rubbing claws together was like the horn of death, echoing in Aoki's ears.
"I would rather die than commit seppuku with the enemy!"
"He has backbone."
Su Bai sneered, "I wonder if you can still have this much backbone when you're facing your superiors?"
"How about I just pack you up and send you to your Japanese territory? Do you think they'll think I've already turned you against them and punish you even more severely?"
Thinking of Yamamoto Goro's face, Aoki Oki felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Goro Yamamoto's methods were extremely famous throughout Japan; he could make people truly understand what it meant to be unable to live or die.
"No!"
Even though he was in immense pain, he instinctively refused the suggestion.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow and said without any mercy, "Then commit seppuku."
Compared to the suffering endured by lords like Qian Shoucheng, the fact that they lost their hands and feet and committed seppuku was already too lenient for them.
If the battle situation weren't so tense and urgent, Su Bai would definitely have come up with a few more ways to torment the enemy.
We will not let them die so easily.
Faced with the threat of seppuku and death, Aoki Oki seemed to have made up his mind.
He grabbed Su Bai's ankle tightly with one hand, ignoring the threat of the swarm of insects, while with the other hand he grabbed his samurai sword and stabbed at him haphazardly.
Su Bai hadn't expected that he would still have the ability to resist despite the pain of his throat being corroded.
Fortunately, they stepped back in time, and no harm was caused.
Driven by their loyalty, the swarm of insects instantly crawled over.
Aoki suddenly looked up, startling everyone around him.
His right eyeball was pierced by a bone needle, and the everted eyeball hung precariously on his face.
The intense pain also affected his other eye, preventing him from opening it wide.
Right now, he's just swinging the knife wildly out of pure instinct.
"What are you standing there for?! All of you, charge!"
Orwell shouted, and everyone who had been stunned suddenly reacted, grabbing their weapons and shouting for battle.
"Lord!"
Noticing the commotion, Zhao Ganwu quickly turned around.
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourselves!"
Without wasting any words, Su Bai commanded the swarm of insects to join the battle.
"Where are the archers?! Use fire! Light all the fuel and burn them to death!"
"My lord, that would also affect our troops..."
"So what!?"
Orwell turned around and slapped him on the head. "It is your honor to be burned at the stake in this great battle!"
"If you keep dawdling, I'll be the first to stab you all to death!"
The soldiers who received the order dared not speak out in anger and could only pass it on.
"Whoosh—"
Thousands upon thousands of rockets hurtled toward Su Bai, and cockroaches quickly formed a wall to protect him.
"The rest of you, seize the opportunity to attack! Anyone who dares to desert will be killed without mercy!"
Under torture, no one dared to slack off; everyone rushed forward in a panic, armed with rifles and cannons.
I knew this trick wouldn't work on me, so why did I use it?
Alarm bells rang in Su Bai's mind.
The saboteurs, sensing the danger, added fuel to the fire.
The towering flames not only destroyed their arrows, but also burned the men who came.
At this moment, the swarm of insects rushed forward, using cockroaches as the first layer of cover, to finish off those who were not quite dead.
Just as Su Bai was pondering what they were up to.
The cold, sharp blade flew past him.
"I don't believe you can dodge this move!"
