"Su Xiao, stop him!"
Miles immediately ordered Su Xiao to move after hearing Miyamoto Heiyang's plea for help, intending to use him as a scapegoat.
The next moment.
Su Xiao moved instantly, leaving a trail of afterimages behind as he blocked the space between Chen Jinzhao and Miyamoto Heiyang.
Chen Jinzhao narrowed his eyes, radiating a chilling aura.
He had intentionally avoided direct confrontation with Su Xiao until now, but it was unavoidable.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to go all out!
"I'm sorry," Chen Jinzhao shouted.
Su Xiao threw a punch, aiming straight for Chen Jinzhao's face!
The current Su Xiao had lost his self-awareness, reduced to a puppet with only combat instincts, not even knowing the meaning of pain.
His judgment of the situation was far inferior to his normal state.
Chen Jinzhao feigned an attack on Su Xiao's lower body, causing Su Xiao to immediately retract his fist to counter Chen Jinzhao's potential sneak attack. However, Chen Jinzhao had no intention of attacking Su Xiao's lower body. Instead, he gathered all his energy and swung a blade at Su Xiao!
*Splat—*
Su Xiao's right arm was cleanly severed by Chen Jinzhao!
Even so, Su Xiao still hadn't reacted, intending to launch an equalizing attack on Chen Jinzhao with his right hand.
But his right arm was gone, making it impossible to attack Chen Jinzhao. All he could do was make strange gestures.
This scene fell into Chen Jinzhao's eyes, causing him immense pain.
His former captain had become like this. Should he give him a quick end?
No!
There might still be a chance!
Chen Jinzhao refused to give up until the last moment.
Taking advantage of Su Xiao's lack of reaction to his severed arm, Chen Jinzhao stepped forward and punched Su Xiao in the chest!
The latter immediately spat out a mist of blood and was sent flying backward.
After dealing with Su Xiao, Chen Jinzhao suddenly turned and glared at Miyamoto Heiyang. In his eyes, it was people like Miyamoto Heiyang who had reduced Su Xiao to his current state. He intended to kill them all to avenge Su Xiao!
*Swish!*
Miyamoto Heiyang broke out in a cold sweat, his hair standing on end.
He saw a pair of extremely ferocious eyes, like the eyes of the Candle Dragon in Chinese mythology.
Opening them represented light, and closing them represented darkness!
A killing intent enveloped Miyamoto Heiyang. This was the most terrifying killing intent he had ever felt, and it made him realize that Chen Jinzhao had completely lost his temper.
"Everyone!"
"Chen Jinzhao has gone mad, quickly lend me a hand!"
Miyamoto Heiyang shouted while distancing himself from Chen Jinzhao.
However, Chen Jinzhao was too fast, appearing before Miyamoto Heiyang in the blink of an eye. Danger had arrived.
Toscanino growled, "This is bad, Chen Jinzhao is going for the kill!"
"We cannot just stand by and watch our ally die before our eyes. If this gets out, we will suffer an immense disgrace."
As his voice fell.
Toscanino and Joanna acted together, intending to stop Chen Jinzhao.
Miles and Koppeler exchanged glances and joined the effort to stop Chen Jinzhao. They would not let Chen Jinzhao succeed easily.
"Chen Jinzhao, stop!" Koppeler roared.
The four of them tried their best to stop him but found that their speed was half a beat slower than Chen Jinzhao's. Even with their full effort, they couldn't stop Chen Jinzhao's Tai Sui dagger from thrusting forward!
*Ching—*
The sharp three-edged dagger pierced directly into Miyamoto Heiyang's heart.
At this moment.
Time seemed to freeze into eternity.
Miyamoto Heiyang's facial expression instantly solidified, and a trace of regret rose in his mind.
If only he hadn't agreed to the demands of the Mitley Military Department, he wouldn't have met his end here.
However.
He seemed to have no choice.
Just as his country, Dongying, was merely a dog to Mitley, every Dongying person was born with a dog leash attached.
Miyamoto Heiyang found peace just before his death.
His only regret was not being able to witness Chen Jinzhao's death, nor the day Dongying would rise again.
His thoughts then ceased.
Miyamoto Heiyang's corpse fell heavily to the ground.
Simultaneously.
Toscanino and the other three powerhouses appeared behind Chen Jinzhao. Chen Jinzhao felt a chill assail him, but he was in no condition to care.
Four short knives plunged into Chen Jinzhao's back simultaneously, causing his aura to instantly weaken.
Miles said with relief, "Losing Miyamoto Heiyang but managing to severely wound Chen Jinzhao is not a bad outcome."
Before the other three could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Jinzhao suddenly turned and stared at the four of them.
This startled all four.
Even though Chen Jinzhao was heavily wounded, he could still drag one or two of them down with him.
Koppeler's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Don't give him any chance to counterattack. This is the best time for us to end this dragon's life."
"Yes, I also have a premonition that Chen Jinzhao is about to break through to another realm. No, he might have already stepped halfway into that realm, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand our combined attack of six people. If we don't kill him, we will all become stepping stones for him to enter another realm," Miles added.
Their words made Toscanino and Joanna's expressions grave.
There had always been rumors of a more terrifying realm above S-class, but they had never seen it.
After personally experiencing Chen Jinzhao's strength, they even felt that Chen Jinzhao was a powerhouse of the next realm. But now, with Miles and Koppeler's words, they understood that Chen Jinzhao, like them, was still only S-class.
"I never thought the gap between S-class and S-class could be so large," Joanna murmured in a daze.
Toscanino reacted, "Exactly, we must kill him and prevent Chen Jinzhao from entering the next realm."
Who knew how terrifying that realm would be.
"Kill!"
The four attacked together.
Chen Jinzhao let out a cold snort, wielding his Tai Sui to meet them. "Even if I have only half my strength left, it's not impossible to drag one or two down as a sacrifice. It depends on your luck!"
This statement made Toscanino and Joanna's hearts sink.
Among the remaining four, they were the weakest. If Chen Jinzhao intended to take someone down with him, their situation would be the most dangerous.
Miles also realized this and immediately said to Toscanino and Joanna, "Don't get distracted. If Chen Jinzhao dares to kill you, Miles and I will rescue you. The priority now is to jointly kill Chen Jinzhao. If you get distracted, our alliance will crumble."
Koppeler was also annoyed.
Six people had failed to kill Chen Jinzhao smoothly, and instead, they had lost two key figures.
This was unacceptable!
The four returned to the same front and launched a fatal blow at Chen Jinzhao. Chen Jinzhao's sharp three-edged dagger flashed before the four, and the fierce blade energy made them shiver. Before the blade even touched their bodies, it had already inflicted wounds.
Joanna touched her cheek.
The blade energy left a gash on her cheek and even cut her red hair!
The four dared not move, fearing being targeted by Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao sneered, "Weren't you going to kill me? Why are you afraid to take a step forward?"
"From now on, whoever is closest to me, I will kill!"
