145: Fight to the bitter end! Minced meat! 6000, and more!
“You guys...”
“Are Mayans?!”
Despite the sharp pain in his abdomen, Kevin's rapidly bloodshot eyes fixed on his reflection in the well, and he hissed in a low growl.
“Heh heh...”
“You guessed right!”
“But...”
“No prize!”
Creak!
The squad leader behind him slowly twisted the crystal dagger in Kevin's abdomen.
“Pfft!”
Kevin's eyes widened!
A mouthful of fresh blood directly sprayed into the well.
“Gurgle... gurgle...”
His throat emitted an inarticulate growl, and he struggled desperately to slowly clench his right hand tightly around the tip of the sword protruding from his abdomen, then his left hand gripped the short sword at his waist, slowly drawing it out!
“...”
“What else do you want to do?!”
“A dying man, you still want to fight back? Are you underestimating me too much?”
“Die for me!”
Screech!
The squad leader gritted his teeth.
He twisted the crystal dagger in Kevin's abdomen again with force!
However... clang!
After the sharp short sword cut through the flesh on Kevin's hand, the blade got stuck in Kevin's hand bone!
With a grating sound that set teeth on edge... the crystal dagger was firmly stuck in Kevin's hand.
“Heh heh...”
Kevin's eyes were red, and he gave a ferocious smile.
“Then aren’t you...”
“Underestimating me too much?”
Swish!
The scimitar at his waist was drawn, and then, with a cunning upward diagonal arc, Kevin stabbed it towards the squad leader behind him!
“...”
The squad leader was startled and was about to drop the short sword in his hand and retreat!
Rip!
This dying counterattack directly pierced through the squad leader's ribs, passing straight through his heart!
Drip... drip!
Blood dripped from both of their bodies simultaneously!
Thud!
Both of them collapsed simultaneously by the well!
The focus slowly left their equally wide-open eyes; Kevin's unclosed eyes were filled with relief, while the squad leader's eyes... were filled with terror!
“...”
“Damn it!”
“Captain!”
The other person, who had been standing there in a daze, finally recovered from Kevin's astonishing strike and quickly rushed over from a distance, looking at the two corpses on the ground in a panic.
He never expected it!
It was supposed to be a sure kill, how did this Kevin manage to kill him back?
A dying man!
Could he have such great strength?
“...”
“What should I do?”
“This...”
“What should I do?”
“...”
Cold sweat streamed down the man's forehead, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he slowly calmed down.
Then, with a gloomy face, he looked at the corpse on the ground.
He gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice!
“Forget it!”
“This person is, after all, a King!”
“Cutting off his head to report back...”
“Should be fine, right?”
“Hmm!”
Nodding, he firmed up his idea, drew the crystal dagger from his waist, squatted beside Kevin, reached out, grabbed the latter's hair, and was about to cut it off... Suddenly!
From the corner of a nearby building, the voices of Atlantis warriors could be heard approaching from a distance.
“Prince Kevin!”
“The King of Atlantis is looking for you, are you here?”
“Heh heh...”
“You wouldn't be drinking water by the well, would you?”
“Why haven't you returned for so long?”
“...”
“Damn it!”
“Why are people coming at this time?”
Hearing the approaching voices,
The man's face changed. He didn't have time to cut off Kevin's head, turned around, and ran towards the thick shade of trees not far away.
Before the Atlantians arrived, he disappeared into the dense forest!
At the same time... three or four Atlantis warriors also turned the corner of the building and arrived at a small open area in front of the well.
“Your Highness, are you not...”
“...”
Suddenly!
The Atlantis warrior who was speaking couldn't utter another word. He stood stunned, looking at the pool of blood by the well.
His pupils constricted.
Then he shouted loudly.
“Your Highness!”
“The Prince has been assassinated!”
“Quick!”
“Bring people, quickly bring a physician!”
“...”
...A few minutes later, in a simple small room on the Atlantis Royal City wall.
Wu Tian and the other two stood quietly in front of the bed.
Looking at Kevin, who lay on the bed with a pale face and had already passed away, the three of them looked exceptionally grim.
“...”
“Has the killer been caught?”
After a long while,
Wu Tian asked the Atlantis warrior standing behind him, the one who had carried Kevin back.
“The killer...”
The warrior's eyes burned with towering rage!
“Only one killer's body was found by the well. If no one else participated in this assassination, the killer has already been killed by Prince Kevin!”
“Hoo...”
Wu Tian sighed softly.
“I should have known...”
“I should have known!”
Bang!
Wu Tian's eyes were slightly red, and he slammed his fist on the side of the bed.
“Damn it, these Mayans deserve to die!”
“Assassination!”
“Another assassination!”
“And by the water source.”
“Hateful!”
Wu Tian cursed hoarsely.
“Even the most vicious beasts wouldn't fight by a water source. In a battle between two armies, assassination methods were even used next to a well!”
“Animals!”
“Killing a defenseless person who was fetching water by the water source, someone who had no intention of fighting at all!”
“These Mayans...”
“Truly deserve to die!”
Bang!
Wu Tian slammed his fist on the bed again, looking at Kevin, who would never open his eyes again, and said with unbearable sadness.
“Bury him well!”
“...”
“Ap!”
Wu Tian called softly to the Atlantis warrior behind him, whose eyes were also bloodshot.
“Take me to see the dead assassin!”
“...Yes!”
Ap was stunned, then nodded.
Although he didn't understand why Wu Tian wanted to see the dead person.
He still led the latter out of the small room.
They arrived at a corner on the city wall... In a corner on the east side of the city wall, dozens of Atlantis warriors had surrounded the corner.
They remained silent, their faces calm.
Beneath the calm... a surging volcano seemed to be brewing.
“Everyone...”
Ap spoke softly towards the back of the crowd.
Whoosh!
As Ap's voice sounded, all the Atlantis warriors turned their heads and looked at Wu Tian and Ap.
“...”
Ap was stunned. When he saw the despair and anger in everyone's eyes,
His heart ached.
Then he rubbed his face to suppress the sadness in his heart.
He whispered.
“The King of Atlantis has arrived!”
“...”
Still, no one spoke, and Wu Tian stood there quietly waiting.
After about ten seconds.
Splash... splash!
Everyone silently retreated to both sides, clearing a path for Wu Tian to pass through.
Wu Tian walked slowly through the middle of the crowd without a word. As he passed in front of each person, he saw the grief and hidden anger in each warrior's eyes, and his fists... clenched tightly again.
He exhaled... took a breath.
He slowly squatted in front of the assassin.
Wu Tian examined the person in front of him... “Oh?”
Suddenly!
After Wu Tian saw the fear on the latter's face, the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards, and then, in front of all the Atlantis warriors, he shouted in a high-spirited tone.
“This person is still an ace assassin, with a thick callus on his hands, and his joints are larger than ordinary people's!”
“His daily training is quite rigorous!”
“I'm afraid...”
“This person is one of the top assassins among the Mayans!”
“...”
Everyone was stunned.
Then they cast a puzzled look at Wu Tian, who was squatting on the ground.
Kevin died at the hands of this assassin.
The current King of Atlantis was praising the assassin's ability!
Why... was this?
Gradually, everyone's expression towards Wu Tian became somewhat unfriendly.
“Heh heh...”
Wu Tian continued.
“What does this show?”
“This shows that even with such a powerful assassin attacking from behind, he was still killed in a counterattack by our Prince Kevin!”
“He is a true warrior!”
“He is a hero!”
“...”
“A hero?”
Everyone was stunned, then they all cast questioning glances at Wu Tian. Could it be... dying with the enemy assassin during an assassination... was this a hero?
“The King of Atlantis...”
Ap couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart and asked Wu Tian softly.
“Prince Kevin, is a hero?”
“Yes!”
Wu Tian nodded heavily and affirmed without hesitation!
“That's right!”
“Prince Kevin is a hero!”
“...”
Wu Tian slowly stood up from the ground and said solemnly to the circle of puzzled Atlantis warriors.
“I examined Kevin's injuries.”
“He was stabbed in the abdomen, and after the blade was twisted inside his abdomen, he used his right hand to firmly grasp the blade and his left hand to draw his sword and counter-kill this assassin!”
“Do you know...”
Wu Tian's eyes flickered with a faint light.
“What was the reason Kevin did this?”
“Why could he erupt with such powerful strength before he died?”
“To counter-kill an ace assassin?”
“...”
Everyone was stunned.
Then they again cast puzzled looks at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian paused, then his gaze swept over the face of each warrior, and he shouted loudly with solemnity and dignity.
“Because of us!”
“...”
“Us?”
“Why is it because of us?”
“King Kevin, because of us?”
“What does that mean?”
“This power... comes from us?”
“...”
Everyone discussed in low voices, and just then!

Wu Tian's solemn and dignified voice once again gently echoed in the corner of the city wall—
“The assassin was powerful, and Kevin was suddenly ambushed!”
“The twisting blade was enough to make any adult lose the ability and courage to resist, but...”
“Kevin fearlessly jammed the blade with his own bones and desperately killed the assassin!”
“Not everyone can do this!”
“Then... why could Kevin do it?”
Wu Tian paused slightly, then looked at everyone and shouted with great infectiousness!
“This is because...”
“Kevin thought of us. He knew the assassin was powerful, and if he couldn't kill this assassin, then after him...”
“Many more people would die!”
“For us!”
“Kevin!”
Wu Tian's eyes burst forth with respectful admiration.
“He used every last ounce of his strength, enduring the pain of ten fingers connected to the heart, to execute the assassin!”
“You say...”
Wu Tian turned to look at these Atlantis warriors.
His voice suddenly rose!
"Isn't such a person a hero?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned, then in an instant, their cheeks flushed red with a surge of blood, and they shouted loudly with Wu Tian.
"Hero!"
"Hero!"
"Hero!"
"..."
Wu Tian nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces again, and he asked loudly once more.
"Facing the Mayans' beastly acts of killing people at the water source, should we not retaliate in kind, with an eye for an eye and blood for blood?"
"We should!"
"We should!"
"An eye for an eye!"
"Blood for blood!"
"Blood for blood!"
"Kill!"
"..."
"Even if we stand until the last moment, even if we shed our last drop of blood, we..."
"...will fight to the death with these Mayans!"
Amidst the thunderous roars, a young voice from an Atlantis warrior was heard!
Wu Tian looked in the direction of the voice; although the Atlantis warrior who shouted still had a very tender face, the dried brown blood on his face gave him a sense of iron-bloodedness!
An army in distress is bound to win!
Less than half of them remained, and they had lost Kevin.
Now... these Atlantis warriors had completely abandoned the last shred of retreat in their hearts.
Right here!
Right in this Atlantis Royal City!
They would fight a decisive battle with the Mayans!
There would be no victors and vanquished, no groveling!
Only... a fight to the death!
...Just as waves of surging shouts echoed through Atlantis Royal City, Smiling Tiger Elder Elder, with dozens of elite Mayan warriors behind him, slowly came to a halt about a hundred meters from the city wall of Atlantis Royal City.
"..."
Listening to the clamorous roars.
Smiling Tiger Elder paused slightly.
Then, narrowing his eyes, he asked someone beside him.
"Torquel, what are they shouting up there?"
"..."
Following Smiling Tiger Elder's gaze, the person questioned was Torquel, one of the assassins who had just escaped from Atlantis Royal City!
"Hmm?"
Torquel was startled.
Then he perked up his ears and listened carefully.
After a few breaths.
Torquel smiled slightly and said proudly to Smiling Tiger Elder Elder beside him.
"Reporting to the esteemed Elder, the people on the city wall are shouting 'Damn Mayans!' and 'Fight to the death!'"
"Haha..."
"I think, with a King dead..."
"They've panicked!"
"They've gotten desperate!"
"..."
Torquel blinked and said, subtly taking two steps back.
Before coming, he had actually lied to the Grand Elder and this Smiling Tiger Elder Second Elder. He told them that his captain had killed the current King of Atlantis but had unfortunately sacrificed himself.
He had originally intended to cut off the head of the corpse and bring it back.
However, the large-scale Atlantis forces arrived, and he hastily withdrew.
Initially, the Grand Elder and Smiling Tiger Elder were skeptical.
But... after considering that their Mayan ace assassin had 'perished together' with Wu Tian, both believed Torquel's words.
This time, Smiling Tiger Elder Elder had come precisely to persuade these Atlantians, who had lost their King, to surrender!
To subdue the enemy without fighting... was Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's favorite tactic.
"Haha..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's eyes lit up as he listened to Torquel's explanation.
"Interesting."
"These Atlantians are truly interesting."
"Their King died, but they're not rushing for revenge..."
"Instead, they're cursing on the city wall!"
"Torquel?"
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder glanced at Torquel.
"What do you think... this represents?"
"..."
Torquel was startled.
Then he assumed a respectful demeanor, stepping back two more paces to stand behind Smiling Tiger Elder Elder, adopting a submissive posture.
Under the latter's satisfied gaze, he smiled slightly.
"Haha..."
"This, of course, means that these Atlantians have lost their will to fight."
"After so many deaths, and with their King assassinated..."
"They are like a pile of loose sand!"
"Haha..."
"Without anyone to lead them at this moment, they can only cowardly curse on the city wall!"
"..."
"Not bad!"
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder nodded in agreement.
Then, he turned his gloomy eyes towards the Atlantis city wall in the distance, and spoke loudly.
"Hear me, Atlantians on the city wall!"
"Your King is dead!"
"It was we Mayans who killed him!"
"Haha..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder smiled proudly.
"We have many more assassins like him. This time it was your King, next time it will be your Prince, Princess, High Priest, Healers, and then it will be all of you!"
"We don't need to enter the city, nor do we need to attack it!"
"Just with such assassinations!"
"We can make you remaining Atlantians die out one by one!"
"However..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder changed his tone.
"We Mayans do not wish to casually destroy a civilization, nor do we wish to see your brilliant Atlantis civilization disappear from this continent!"
"Surrender, we'll give you a chance!"
"As long as you pledge allegiance to us Mayans!"
"All of you who remain will live!"
"..."
After saying these words, Smiling Tiger Elder Elder stood confidently in place, head held high, and waited.
The Atlantians were leaderless.
And now they had suffered such a great catastrophe!
Even if they didn't surrender in the end... under his psychological attack, which struck deep into their hearts, they should have pretty much lost the ability to resist. After this... the Mayans' casualties would be greatly reduced!
"..."
Just as Smiling Tiger Elder Elder was smiling and waiting for the Atlantians' response, Torquel, with shifty eyes, took advantage of Smiling Tiger Elder Elder being engrossed in his fantasy world.
He slowly walked backward.
After putting enough distance between them... Torquel immediately used the stealth ability he learned during training, disappearing into the dense surrounding forest in a few quick movements!
..."What did you say?"
"The King is dead?"
Suddenly!
Just as Smiling Tiger Elder Elder was patiently standing beneath the city, waiting for the Atlantians' reply.
Wu Tian slowly poked his head over the city wall.
And... whoosh!
Wu Tian held up the severed head of the assassin in his hand, slowly dangling it in front of Smiling Tiger Elder Elder.
"You..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder was stunned.
Then, as if he had seen a ghost, he looked at the perfectly unharmed Wu Tian and the assassin's head in his hand, whose identity could still be vaguely discerned!
"Impossible!"
"You were clearly dead!"
"How are you still..."
Then, Smiling Tiger Elder Elder raised an eyebrow and turned to look beside him.
"Torquel!"
"Torquel, didn't you say the King of Atlantis was dead?"
"You..."
"..."
Whoosh!
Seeing no trace of Torquel among the dozen or so Mayan warriors behind him, cold sweat quickly streamed down Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's temples!
A chilling coldness rose in Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's heart!
If he didn't understand now... then he was too slow!
Torquel had deceived him!
Moreover, facing Wu Tian, this King of Atlantis with terrifyingly outrageous combat power... the elite warriors behind him were truly no match.
"..."
"Rustle rustle..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder couldn't help but slowly retreat backward, his eyes filled with apprehension and fear as he looked at Wu Tian.
"..."
Looking at the Mayan Elder who was slowly retreating, ready to withdraw at any moment.
Wu Tian impaled the head in his hand onto the city wall.
He revealed a ferocious smile towards the latter.
"I remember you said when you were shouting earlier..."
"That your assassins are very powerful and numerous."
"First the King, then the Prince, Princess, Healers, and finally every warrior of Atlantis!"
"Haha..."
"Actually, we Atlantians also have assassins!"
As he spoke.
Wu Tian directly leaped onto the city wall in front of everyone.
He said coldly.
"You're lucky today!"
"You just happened to meet an assassin like me, come on!"
"Let Daddy open your eyes!"
As his voice fell, Wu Tian, who had almost recovered, let out a low cry in his heart, and instantly... a hazy steam slowly emerged from his body.
In Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's look of utter horror.
Whoosh!
Wu Tian's body leaped directly off the city wall, rushing towards him like a bolt of lightning!
"..."
Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's face drastically changed!
He shouted loudly at the warriors behind him!
"Quick!"
"Quick, stop him!"
"Don't let this madman get close to me!"
"Quick!"
Clatter clatter!
As Smiling Tiger Elder Elder's voice fell, the dozen or so elite Mayan warriors behind him instantly rushed to his front with their weapons and crystal shields, standing ready to face the rapidly approaching Wu Tian.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourselves!"
"Give me..."
The ivory greatsword in Wu Tian's hand was raised high!
"Break!"
With an angry roar, the ivory greatsword in Wu Tian's hand instantly danced around him like a full moon. With his overwhelming brute force, he directly charged into the enemy formation of those dozen or so individuals!
Clang... crash!
Crack!
"..."
Shields shattered, limbs flew, blood splattered!
In just one second!
Wu Tian, like a meat grinder, swiftly swept through the dozen or so people!
Looking back... not a single person survived!
