Chapter 144, the most heartwarming episode.
The voice that suddenly came from Hirumaru stunned everyone.
Before they could even understand what it meant, Hirumaru had vanished from their sight.
It was as if a gust of wind swept by, and one by one, huge wounds were ripped open on the chests of the ice-covered figures.
Many of the ninjas fell to the ground before they could even see where the attack came from.
Only a few top-tier superhumans managed to catch a glimpse of Hirumaru's attack.
Seeing the situation reversed in an instant, Die, completely disoriented, shouted loudly, "Impossible!"
In her view, Higanbana was about to take back Hirumaru, but in the blink of an eye, one Higanbana after another fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a sharp sword aura attacked her. After years of cultivation, Butterfly barely managed to catch a glimpse of Hirumaru's movements.
The longsword held in front of her chest slightly blocked Hirumaru's attack, but the immense force from the sword still sent her flying uncontrollably backward.
With her last bit of strength, Butterfly shouted at Hiruma's phantom.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
The next attack interrupted Butterfly's thoughts. Looking at the blood gushing out in front of her, Butterfly finally collapsed to the ground in despair.
……
"What happened?!"
"What's that darting around? How come the Japanese soldiers from Bihe Mountain are falling one after another all of a sudden?!"
The viewers in the live stream had no idea what was happening. All they could see was a shadow flashing across the ice, and then the Hieiyama ninja, who had initially held the advantage, fell one by one.
In just over ten seconds, all the Higanbana ninjas on the ice collapsed to the ground.
Hirumaru, having lost his target, reappeared before everyone.
All the superhumans holding their breath as they looked at Hirumaru in the center of the arena, fearing that he might accidentally chop them all down as well.
They had no idea that Hiruma, who hadn't seemed very strong before, could suddenly unleash such powerful strength!
And what was that sound that just came from Hirumaru's body? What did that so-called mode switching mean?
Ye Liuyun looked at Hirumaru in the arena and happened to make eye contact with him. In an instant, Ye Liuyun felt endless pressure from Hirumaru's body!
It felt like looking at him one more time would cause an explosion! It felt like he would be torn to pieces by the person in front of him.
He glanced at Ye Liuyun's Hirumaru and immediately turned his head away.
Ye Liuyun felt a wave of relaxation, and only then did he notice that his back was covered in sweat.
He reached out his slightly trembling hand and touched his back.
Was it ice water? No, it was my sweat! How could he make me sweat so much?
……
At the edge of Tianchi Lake, Gao Lian, who had summoned the household spirit, had already knocked Old Zhang to the ground.
He glared angrily at Old Zhang, who was lying on the ground.
"Old Zhang, can you give me an explanation? After all these years of brothers who have gone through thick and thin with you, do you really have no feelings for them at all? Why would you do such a thing to them?"
The residual heat from the speedboat explosion still seemed to be baking Gao Lian, and he didn't even dare to look back at his former comrades in the wreckage.
Gao Lian couldn't accept that his brothers had died at Lao Zhang's hands because of his poor judgment of people.
Although he reacted in time, he could only bring out the two people closest to him; Gao Lian couldn't save the others in time.
After a moment of silence, Old Zhang gave a bitter laugh: "No... If our goals don't conflict, we can be friends... But you're on the opposite side of Bihe Mountain, so we can only be enemies."
At this moment, reinforcements from Nadutong finally arrived.
"How is it, Lao Gao? Are there any casualties?"
Gao Lian forced back his tears and pointed with a trembling hand at the wreckage of the speedboat that had been blown to pieces.
A moment later, an employee of NaDuTong walked over with a strange expression. Although Gao Lian had given up hope, he still endured the pain and asked.
"How is the situation? Is it possible to find them?"
Gao Lian no longer believed that anyone could survive such an explosion; he only hoped that he could still identify a few of his brothers' bodies.
"Uh... no casualties."
"Can't you even recognize a single corpse?" Gao Lian subconsciously assumed that his brothers' bodies had all been destroyed in the explosion, but suddenly realized that something about what he had just said seemed off: "Huh! What did you say? No casualties?!"
"Yes, everyone is safe and sound. Some of our brothers were knocked unconscious by the explosion and fell into the water, but we pulled them all out."
Even Old Zhang, still lying on the ground, couldn't believe it: "This is impossible! I put high explosives inside! How could there be no casualties?!"
One by one, people were lifted out of the pool and, with the help of the healers, regained consciousness.
"When I went into the water to retrieve them, they all had a thin film on their bodies. It must have been that film that saved them from the explosion."
Upon hearing this, Gao Lian finally understood how his brothers had survived—the organizers of the Sword Trial Tournament had secretly rescued them all!
Old Zhang gave a bitter laugh in a daze. He now knew that all their actions were under the control of Qin Le, the person behind the scenes.
Their actions were nothing but a clownish farce.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the member of NaDuTong who came to report the situation shouted.
"I remember now, two of my brothers were injured."
Gao Lian asked anxiously, "Who is it? How are they now?"
"It's Wang Qiang and Lin Feng."
Gao Lian thought about the two men for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "Hmm! Aren't they the two I brought out?"
"Yes, it's those two. You pulled them so hard, Lao Gao. They have some soft tissue contusions and a few broken bones."
……
After settling his two injured brothers, Gao Lian immediately boarded the newly prepared speedboat and landed on the ice floe platform.
With the arrival of Nadutong employees, Biheshan's plan completely failed.
Seeing the Hieiyama ninjas lying all over the ground, Natoto happily took in all the injured ninjas; these were all achievements.
Gao Lian directed his employees to quickly stop the bleeding of the fallen ninja before locking him up on the speedboat.
Gao Lian smiled as he looked at the butterfly lying on the ground.
"I really have to thank you. I never imagined that after all these years of painstaking effort, you would be exposed just because of a knife. Thank you for still holding a grudge about a broken sword all these years."
