"The outcome is decided!" Su Yue said calmly. The guardian spirit was wearing a large red Tengu mask.
From its unique appearance, it is not difficult to recognize that this is a guardian spirit from the land of cherry blossoms—a tengu.
It can be inferred that it was obtained from a dungeon related to the Cherry Blossom Country.
Su Yue was not surprised that his acquaintance from Nagasaki was able to turn the tide and win.
However, everyone in the Wang family, including Wang Qiang, had ashen faces.
The situation, which they had initially thought they had in the bag, was unexpectedly disrupted by this guardian spirit, catching them off guard.
Given Wang Qiang's current injuries, the only way for him to recover is to find his severed arm.
If you choose to surrender and are forcibly teleported out of the battlefield, can you really expect your acquaintance in Nagasaki to bring back your severed arm?
"You bitch! We clearly agreed that the four great families would stand together through thick and thin, yet you still tried to kill me!"
Large beads of sweat dripped down Wang Qiang's face, but he didn't mention a word about how ruthless he had been to his acquaintance in Nagasaki.
After all, when news of Hiroshi Shiraishi's death spread...
Other families, intentionally or unintentionally, began to encroach on the Shiraishi family's territory.
The Jian'an Wang family was particularly outrageous, as they already had little affection for the Baishi family.
This time, they showed no mercy and completely destroyed the Shiraishi family's stronghold near Jian'an.
If someone hadn't sent word before their death, the Shiraishi family would probably have vanished without a trace.
The acquaintance from Nagasaki was no longer the disheveled woman she had been before. She raised an eyebrow, swayed her graceful figure, and sneered:
"How interesting! The four great families are united in their actions? When you destroyed my White Stone Building, didn't you consider this question? Did you really think the White Stone family had no one to rely on?"
"Those blind fools! They deserve to die!" Wang Qiang cursed viciously in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the movements of the Tengu, controlling his armored giant, his brain working at lightning speed.
"You deserve to die? Today I'll teach you a lesson!" Before the words were finished, the Tengu's figure suddenly turned into a fleeting phantom and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Qiang felt a chill run down his spine. The Tengu used Shadow Step to appear behind Wang Qiang without him noticing. With a flash of light, the blade in his hand swung out with a sharp, gust of wind.
【Shadow Step】: Under the protection of shadows, the figure moves through the darkness like a ghost, instantly appearing behind the target, increasing movement speed by 70%.
Despite the armored giant's timely reaction, taunting and attempting to block the katana's movement.
But at this moment, the tengu let out a deafening roar: "Roar!..."
The armored giant seemed startled; its raised hand suddenly dropped, leaving the tengu to attack.
This strike is called [Wind's Wound]!
【Wind's Wound】: Creates wind rifts by utilizing the collision of opposing winds. Then, strikes the rifts with a katana, creating an area-of-effect wind spell that deals damage.
At such close range, the area-of-effect damage from this skill is enough to be fatal.
Faced with the threat of death, Wang Qiang decisively chose to surrender, knowing full well that his strength was temporarily no match for his opponent.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Qiang's surrender was met with a chorus of boos from the audience.
A real man fights to the last moment, and he was clearly not satisfied with Wang Qiang's easy surrender.
"The Shiraishi family? My Wang family hereby declares war on you! Within a month, I will make you regret ever coming to China!"
His words were like a bombshell, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the room.
Everyone was shocked; the battle had turned into a full-scale war between the two families.
Failure is not terrible; what is truly terrible is becoming discouraged and giving up after experiencing setbacks.
In the harsh environment of the apocalypse, once weakness is exposed, it often means that it will be difficult to recover.
However, Su Yue saw in Wang Qiang's eyes a transformation akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes.
The Demon King Qiang, who fought the Shiraishi family to the last moment in his previous life, has now returned to his peak!
In Su Yue's view, Wang Qiang's achievements in this life will definitely surpass his glory in the previous life.
Wang Qiang was immediately treated by a healer after being teleported out of the arena.
The wound, which was bleeding profusely, stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the incision began to heal slowly.
His face was deathly pale from blood loss, but the ruthlessness on his face was undisguised.
To everyone's surprise, first the Lone Wolf declared war on the Liu family of Chang'an, and then the Wang family of Chang'an and the Baishi family of Panyu openly broke off relations.
Without a doubt, it was worth the price of admission.
Nagasaki acquaintance, however, was somewhat flustered at this moment. She had only intended to teach Wang Qiang a lesson.
But they didn't expect to make enemies so early, which was not a wise move for outsiders like them.
However, seeing the audience's enthusiasm being ignited, she realized that she might have been a little too confident this time.
But now that things had come to this, she refused to allow herself to show any fear.
Standing on the arena, Nagasaki acquaintance spoke to Wang Qiang below the stage, word by word, which was also to show the Shiraishi family's stance to the others in China.
"Declare war? Young Master Shiraishi Hao may be dead, but the Shiraishi family is not! There's an old Chinese saying: 'Settle accounts after the autumn harvest!'"
"Young Master Shiraishi Hiroshi's death is definitely related to you people! Once I find out the truth, I will reward you with this arm!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Nagasaki acquaintance, who gestured to the Karasu Tengu.
The tengu immediately stepped forward, swung his sword a few times, and chopped the severed arm into countless pieces.
Su Yue looked at Li Xusen, who was standing to the side, and he had just recovered from the battle.
"If she used this move when she fought me, I'd probably be the one with the missing arm..."
Recalling that scene, Li Xusen felt a pang of fear and a surge of admiration for the Lone Wolf.
"General Li, the outcome is decided!" Su Yue's voice was calm and firm, as if it carried a certain power.
"Lone Wolf, I understand!" Li Xusen immediately realized that Lone Wolf's move was intended to use the arena incident to reveal that the two sides had different positions and perspectives.
He understood immediately and suddenly had a clear understanding.
...
In the first semi-final match, Su Yue will face Nagasaki Shujin.
Everyone was convinced that this battle would witness the Lone Wolf's absolute victory.
"Lord Lone Wolf! I sincerely admire your courage and talent. I wonder if you would be interested in joining the White Stone family?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yue's lips curled into a playful smile, and he countered with, "Oh? So you're not going to avenge Bai Shihao?"
The acquaintance from Nagasaki looked slightly puzzled: "What do you mean by that, Lord Lone Wolf? Do you know who killed Young Master Shiraishi Hiroshi?"
Su Yue coldly replied, "Bai Shihao was killed by my own hands!"
These words left everyone present speechless.
Su Yue's lips still held that incredible smile, as if everything was under his control.
