Chapter 147 The Other Side
"Hey~ Our "three-no" girl is here too." Su Enxi leaned against the door frame, clasped her arms, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling who followed Lu Mingfei in. There was a hint of teasing in her tone and she whistled frivolously.
Ling just glanced at her indifferently, his eyes were cold and indifferent, like a bottomless lake. He completely ignored Su Enxi's teasing, walked aside and stood quietly. Her expression was calm and her posture was upright, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Lu Mingfei noticed the interaction between them, looked up at Su Enxi, and asked directly: "Is Mai back?"
Hearing Lu Mingfei's voice, Su Enxi immediately restrained the frivolous look on her face, and her expression instantly became serious. She stood up straight with her hands hanging down, saluted, and replied in a capable voice: "Report to the boss, Long Legs and the little girl are not back yet."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "How are those people who were recruited before?"
Su Enxi nodded, her face showing confidence again. "We have found the best instructors to train them, and they are almost ready." She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she added, "One of them, Sakurai Akira, performed very well, but in the end, they still lack experience, and compared with the well-trained executive bureau members of the Snake Eight Families, they are still a little behind."
Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice: "What about the fierce ghosts? How is the cooperation going?"
Su Enxi's expression changed slightly, and then she regained her composure, with a bit of caution in her tone: "Yuan Zhinv cooperated with our actions at the beginning, but we lost contact with him not long ago." She paused for a moment, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, and then continued, "However, the cooperation is almost complete. Those politicians have basically been conquered by our financial resources and the power of the Ghost Clan. The only thing left is the finishing touch. As long as we find the right opportunity, we can initiate the impeachment of the current prime minister."
"What's the specific situation?" Lu Mingfei continued to ask.
Su Enxi raised her head, eyes gleaming with shrewdness, and spoke eloquently: "Of the 465 seats in the House of Representatives, we need to win 233 to be successfully elected as the new prime minister. We have already convinced the members of 180 seats. As long as we can win the Eight Snake Families, through their influence, it will be easy to get the remaining 53 seats."
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Lu Mingfei looked out the window thoughtfully, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was looking at something farther away through the city lights. The night was deep, and the neon lights of Japan flickered, making his profile flicker. His fingertips tapped the table unconsciously, the rhythm was slow and steady, as if some hidden decision in his heart was gradually taking shape.
After a long while, he spoke in a cold and low voice: "Be prepared, and when the opportunity comes, act immediately."
When Su Enxi heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she was eager to fight. She took a deep breath and nodded respectfully, "Understood, Boss."
Lu Mingfei's gaze fell back on Ling. The girl who had said nothing from beginning to end was still standing there, listening to everything quietly. Her eyes were cold and calm, as if no matter how big the plan was, it had nothing to do with her. She was just a sharp knife that would be unsheathed without hesitation and cut off all targets in front of her as long as her master gave the order.
"So does our Renata plan to go back to Kassel College or stay here with me?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Along the way, we will not abandon each other or betray each other until the end of death." Zero said this expressionlessly.
Her tone was cold, but Lu Mingfei could sense the emotion behind it. "Yes... We will not abandon each other or betray each other until the end of our lives. So let's keep this promise. Let's go and pick up Mai and the new girl."
………………
Word Spirit·Judgment.
Eri swung the long sword in her hand forward, the sharp blade cut through the air, bringing up invisible threads. These sword lights turned into fine threads, cutting the hunters who kept rushing in front of her. Each strike was precise and sharp. The threads shuttled through the hunters' bodies like the sickle of the god of death, and wherever they passed, the shattered bodies fell one after another.
She was no longer sure how many prey she had killed with Judgment, but these prey seemed endless. After thousands of years of accumulation of terror by the Eight Snake Families, the number of prey here was unbelievable. Even though Judgment was the strongest Word Spirit besides the Word Spirit of Destruction, it was still difficult to completely eliminate these monsters in the face of such a large number.
Eri's face turned pale, and fine scales appeared on her skin. Her pupils, which were as bright as gold, were full of bloodshot, and her breathing gradually became rapid and heavy. Even with the help of Lu Mingfei, her bloodline was stabilized, but the continuous use of super-standard words such as Judgment was still too much for her body. Her wrists trembled slightly, and her knuckles turned white due to excessive force. Her physical strength was almost at its limit.
Beside her, Jiude Mai was also in a worrying condition. She tightly grasped the long sword and protected Eri. The scales on her body were even more than Eri's, making her look hideous and weird. At this moment, she had been injected with the ancient dragon serum, and Yan Ling Ming Zhao had advanced to the Vajra Realm. A layer of transparent shield wrapped the two of them, emitting a faint cold light, resisting the attacks from all directions.
However, the light on the shield gradually dimmed, and cracks appeared from time to time. It was obvious that Mai's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the shield could no longer be maintained. Her breathing was heavy, but her eyes were still burning with an indomitable will, as if no matter how powerful the enemy in front of her was, she would not retreat even a single step.
Eiry tilted her head slightly to glance at Mai, her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she just took a deep breath and swallowed the dissuasion that was about to come out of her throat.
"Eri, hold on!" Mai whispered, her voice hoarse but full of power.
Eri nodded, gripped the long sword again, took a deep breath, and her golden pupils rekindled the indomitable fighting spirit. She gritted her teeth and continued to swing the long sword, slashing towards the endless darkness in front of her. The task that the man gave her had not been completed yet, and she could not fall down yet.
At this moment, a low roar came from a distance, accompanied by heavy footsteps, the earth trembled slightly, and a huge dragon-shaped hunter slowly emerged from the shadows at the end of the street. Its body was like a small mountain, and every step brought a heavy sense of oppression. Through its dry appearance, one can vaguely see the figures of countless snake-shaped hunters hidden in its body, with golden bones flashing in its body, like a moving troop carrier, slowly approaching the direction of Eri and Mai with unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this dragon-shaped hunter, Eri's face changed slightly. Her physical strength was close to the limit. Under normal circumstances, she only needed one judgment to easily deal with an enemy of this level, but at this moment her strength was almost gone. The long sword in her hand was shaking, and she could feel the strength in her body draining away rapidly like an hourglass.
"Sister Mai, this guy is not easy to deal with..." Eri whispered, with a bit of helplessness and fatigue in her voice. "Don't worry." Although Mai's voice was hoarse, it revealed a fearless determination, "I will stand in front of you, even if it costs my life, I will not let it hurt you."
After Mai finished speaking, she took a deep breath and raised the long sword in her hand slightly. The last light flashed on the transparent shield, protecting the two of them. Her eyes were calm and firm, and her body was tense like a bow, ready to meet the fatal impact at any time.
The dragon-shaped hunter let out a low roar, and with violent murderous intent, it suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them. Its claws dragged deep grooves on the ground, and the friction of its bones made a teeth-grinding sound. The snake-shaped hunter inside its body churned, as if grinning and waiting for a bloody feast.
“Word Spirit·Vajra Realm!” Mai shouted suddenly, and the light on the shield suddenly became brighter, forming a thick barrier that blocked Eri’s body.
The next moment, the dragon hunter's huge claws slammed heavily on the shield, causing a deafening roar. The shield vibrated violently, and countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface, like glass that was about to break. Mai clenched her teeth, and her body retreated slightly due to the huge impact force, but she still held on tightly, her legs deeply embedded in the ground, and her body stood firm like an iron tower.
Eri gripped the long sword tightly, with a cold murderous intent burning in her golden pupils. She knew that Jude Mai couldn't hold on for too long, so she took a deep breath and concentrated the last of her strength on the blade. Her eyes were firm and sharp, as if she wanted to completely tear the enemy in front of her apart.
“Spirit of Words·Judgment!” She shouted softly, and the long sword in her hand suddenly emitted a blazing light. An invisible sharp force wrapped around the blade, like countless sharp silk threads trembling in the air. She swung the sword violently, and the blade light cut through the air, slashing towards the Dragon Hunter with destructive power.
The sharp knife light drew an arc in the air and instantly penetrated the body of the Dragon-shaped Hunter. The Dragon-shaped Hunter let out a heart-wrenching roar, and its huge body was torn into pieces by the cutting of the knife light. The Snake-shaped Hunter in its body was cut into countless pieces, scattered on the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.
Eiry felt dizzy, and all the strength in her body was completely drained. Her long sword also hung down limply. She staggered and almost fell, but was quickly supported by Mai. Mai's face was also pale, and her hands were shaking slightly, but she still forced herself to stand beside Eiry, and forced a comforting smile on the corners of her mouth.
“Good job, Eri,” Mai whispered, a hint of relief in her voice, “We did it.”
Eri nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her tired face. She took a deep breath, as if to keep the afterglow of victory in her heart. However, before their steps could completely stabilize, more heavy footsteps were heard in the darkness ahead, accompanied by low roars.
Several larger hunters slowly walked out of the shadows, their figures blocking out the moonlight. Their hideous bodies flashed a cold light in the night, their eyes flashed scarlet light, carrying endless murderous intent and hunger.
Eri's smile froze on her face, and her complexion turned pale again. She and Mai looked at each other, with uneasiness in their eyes. The number and size of these hunters were far beyond their ability to bear. At this moment, they were exhausted and could no longer fight back.
Mai took a deep breath and whispered, "If this is our last battle, at least we fight together to the end."
A hint of determination flashed in Eri's eyes and she nodded slightly. Although her body was exhausted, she still held the knife tightly in her hand. Their figures seemed small and fragile in front of the huge hunter, but she had no intention of retreating.
In the desperate darkness, a transparent water film suddenly emerged from behind them, and a figure broke through the air with a sharp and steady momentum. The knife in Lu Mingfei's hand drew a cold arc and rushed towards the huge hunters with thunderous power.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Lu Mingfei said coldly, with a hint of unquestionable authority in his voice.
The hunters roared angrily and tried to pounce on him, but Lu Mingfei swung his blade like lightning. The blade light was like a violent storm, instantly tearing those behemoths into pieces. Every blade carried endless murderous intent, as if it was a dance of death engraved in the night.
Mai and Eri looked at this savior who suddenly appeared, and a gleam of disbelief appeared in their eyes. At this moment, he was like a god of war descending on the battlefield.
"Thank you for your hard work, girls. Leave the rest to me." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, his voice gentle with a hint of warmth.
A glimmer appeared in Eri's eyes, and then she nodded slightly. She finally loosened her grip on the hilt of the knife and let her tired body lean on Mai. Mai next to her also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that their battle was over, and the next battlefield belonged to this man.
Yanling·Kingdom
An invisible pressure suddenly erupted from Lu Mingfei's body. The air seemed to solidify in an instant. The hunters around him fell to their knees under this pressure, and their bones made "cracking" sounds under the horrible gravity, like firecrackers. Gravity was under his control like an invisible shackle, imprisoning the struggling hunters and making them unable to move. Everything around them became his possession.
Lu Mingfei slowly raised his knife, his eyes swept around indifferently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of contemptuous smile, and he swung the blade lightly. A sharp knife energy broke through the air and instantly swept through the suppressed hunters. A blood mist then erupted in the air, and all the hunters collapsed instantly under the knife energy and turned into powder and drifted away.
On a tall building in the distance, the black-haired German girl was holding a camera, recording everything attentively. There was fanaticism and amazement in her eyes. Through the lens, her sight was fixed on the man who exuded the aura of a king.
"What a terrifying power..." She whispered to herself, a smile on her lips, and a hint of excitement in her tone, "It's worth it that Finkel and I spent so much time to find this entrance... With this video, grandpa should know what to choose... The new era is really exciting."
She continued to adjust the angle of the camera, taking in everything on the battlefield and capturing every detail. Her eyes looked through the lens, with a fascination and desire for power, witnessing the birth of a new legend.
