148: Mjolnir
"Get out of my way! This has nothing to do with you. I want to use the blood of the Fusang people to offer a sacrifice to my late mentor!" Xiao Sheng said, pointing the azure dragon halberd straight ahead.
Not just him, Holy Sun was also by Xiao Sheng's side. It was rare for the two Level 100 War Gods of Great Xia to be deployed together, all for the sake of avenging the deceased Lin Xi.
Behind them were thousands of high-level Beast Tamers above level sixty who possessed the ability to fly.
They were experts from the Great Xia Spirit Guards, the Beast Tamer Association, and the Beast Tamer University; even experts from the remaining Three Great Families were among them.
But such a luxurious lineup was still blocked.
Because in front of them stood William from America and another Level 100 War God, along with their ace Beast Tamer unit, the Thunder Guard.
"We'll talk about the grievances between us later. For now, everyone get lost!" Xiao Sheng shouted. Behind him, the seawater surged into waves hundreds of meters high.
Just as the wutong tree was the home turf for plant-type monsters, the ocean was the home turf for Xiao Sheng's Biyun Flood Dragon; even Holy Sun by his side had to temporarily avoid his edge.
William, who was previously only a notch behind Xiao Sheng, now had to rely on the recently acquired yata no kagami to withstand Xiao Sheng's pressure.
However, the white-haired elderly man beside him remained unmoved with his hands behind his back. Clearly, he had achieved the rank of Level 100 War God earlier and was even stronger.
He spoke unhurriedly, "Xiao Sheng, there have long been treaties between nations. Unless there is a crisis of national extinction, Level 100 individuals cannot take action against other countries. Violators will be attacked by all."
"You Great Xia are making such a big scene now; do you intend to violate this agreement?"
Xiao Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Bullshit treaty!"
"Old John, I really didn't expect you to have the thick skin to say such words. It was clearly William beside you who struck first within the borders of Great Xia!"
The Old man named John smiled upon hearing this and said, "Since you say we broke the rules first, do you have evidence? Did anyone other than those from your Great Xia see it? Otherwise, this is slander!"
"You... bastard!" Xiao Sheng was momentarily speechless.
The previous events occurred in the Wutong Space, and after Jiang Huairen parasitized the wutong tree, he completely closed the space. Now, even he couldn't reopen it.
The xuanyuan yu sword, having resolved the issue, had returned to its original place to nourish its sword qi; it was not something he could command at will.
"Stop wasting words with them. Are we fighting or not!" Holy Sun couldn't help but say from the side.
He didn't care about these rules and regulations. Previously, because Jiang Huairen held something over him, he had been fighting very stifled. Now, he just wanted to have a satisfying fight!
Xiao Sheng also nodded.
Although he was usually very calm, he couldn't stay calm today.
Moreover, in a 2v2, it wasn't impossible to win!
The battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Xiao Sheng still faced William, whom he had fought before, while Holy Sun directly swung his staff at Old John.
Although William now had the help of the yata no kagami, he seemed to struggle even more than before against the furious Xiao Sheng.
On the other side, Holy Sun was fighting to a draw, but he was the type who grew braver as the battle progressed, his aura rising steadily.
Conversely, although Old John's strength was great, he was old after all and didn't seem able to hold out for much longer.
But seeing his unhurried manner, he seemed to be hiding some trick.
"Get lost!"
The azure dragon halberd in Xiao Sheng's hand suddenly broke free from the control of the yata no kagami, piercing through the beast taming armor on William's shoulder and creating a large bloody hole.
This was only because he dodged just in time at the last moment; otherwise, it would have been his chest that was pierced.
William hurriedly pulled back and said, "Old man, what are you still hiding! If you keep hiding it, I'm going to be beaten to death!"
"Sigh... who would have thought you would lose so quickly." John said mockingly, whether he was truly lamenting or not.
Then he raised one hand, palm facing the sky.
This strange posture made Holy Sun cautious, but his attacks did not stop.
"Playing tricks!"
But then, the sky rapidly darkened, and heavy dark clouds accumulated above everyone.
Just as Holy Sun's attack was about to land on John, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down fiercely, hitting his hand.
"Is this old geezer crazy? Striking himself?" Holy Sun said, pulling back.
Xiao Sheng also arrived by his side and said with a serious expression, "I don't think so. This aura is very familiar... it's a divine artifact! I didn't expect them to bring even this..."
John's voice came from within the lightning, saying, "That's right, this is the divine artifact of my America!"
After the lightning dissipated, John's figure was revealed once more. In his hand, he held a simple and heavy silver-gray iron hammer, with streaks of pale blue lightning arcing across it.
"Mjolnir, or you can call it... Mjolnir!"
John did not attack the two directly; instead, he just stood there holding Mjolnir, seemingly only to stop them from continuing toward Fusang.
"Just a divine artifact, what's the big deal! Xiao Sheng, let's also invite out the xuanyuan yu!" Holy Sun said.
But Xiao Sheng's expression became very ugly, and he began to struggle internally.
Finally, he sighed and said, "No, the power accumulated by the xuanyuan yu sword over hundreds of years cannot be wasted by me like this. It needs to be used for more important matters..."
"Then are we just going to leave it at that?" Holy Sun said somewhat gloomily.
"Of course not. The treaty only restricts us from taking action, but it doesn't restrict others!"
While they were fighting, the other experts who followed also engaged in battle with the members of the Thunder Guard.
However, America naturally wouldn't send the entire Thunder Guard to help Fusang; their limited numbers couldn't block everyone.
The rest of the people rushed into Fusang and clashed with the Hidden Guards... Su Ze was currently playing the role of a puppet honestly, staying quietly in the room arranged for him.
But his door was suddenly kicked open by someone. Outside stood a team of seven or eight people, all wearing the standard uniforms of the Great Xia Spirit Guards; Su Ze would definitely not mistake them.
The person at the front spoke immediately, "Captain Su Ze, I'm here to save you. Come with me quickly!"
Su Ze was stunned for a moment. He was not unaware of the battle happening outside.
But that the Great Xia Spirit Guards could fight their way in and find him so quickly was unexpected to Su Ze. It was just that he couldn't leave yet.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Xiao Xu from the next room kick through the wall and charge over.
"Sorry, now that we're here, we never planned on leaving!" Xiao Xu said as he decisively cut through one of their bodies.
Seeing this, Su Ze was just about to strike at this fellow who was harming his own compatriots when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He looked at the corpse on the ground that died with its eyes open. If they had fought their way in from the outside to find him, weren't their uniforms a bit too clean?
Unless... these were clothes they had just put on!
"This is a test!" And it was very likely not aimed at Su Ze, but at Xiao Xu.
"Then... did this collaborator notice?" Su Ze thought to himself as he watched Xiao Xu continue to hack at the "Great Xia Spirit Guards."
But no matter what, those dying were Fusang people; he was more than happy.
Thus, he also rushed out immediately after and joined the fray!
Su Ze fought expressionlessly like a true puppet, but in his heart, he was already overjoyed.
After his great saber sliced through someone's body, he thought to himself, "This... is the interest I'm collecting!"
