They all held gleaming samurai swords in their hands, their movements swift and silent, like ghosts, instantly forming a tight encirclement that surrounded Qiu Qinxiang, Prince Hui, and Sonoda Koji in the center!

A chilling killing intent, as if it were tangible, permeated the air, lowering the temperature of the entire warehouse by several degrees!

Koji Sonoda looked at Qiu Qinxiang, whose face had changed drastically, and the terrified Prince Hui, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, as if he had everything under control.

"Madam Qiu, now... do you think you can leave so easily?"

Faced with this sudden, menacing encirclement, Qiu Qinxiang's heart sank.

Her worst fears came true!

Koji Sonoda was indeed well-prepared, having laid a trap for this place!

Her original plan was to feign compliance first, safely evacuate the dangerous place with her son, and then gather manpower to settle accounts with this island scum later!

But now it seems that the other party has no intention of giving them a chance to leave safely!
Li Minghao, who had been guarding Qiu Qinxiang like a shadow, reacted extremely quickly! The moment the black-clad warriors appeared, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his hands, as if by magic, produced two gleaming, uniquely shaped military daggers from nowhere!
He took a step forward and stood firmly in front of Qiu Qinxiang, his body slightly lowered, his two daggers facing opposite directions, assuming a fighting stance that was both offensive and defensive, without any flaws, like a cheetah ready to pounce, coldly scanning the approaching enemies around him!
Seeing the tense scene, Prince Hui was so frightened that his legs went weak.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, trying to appeal to Koji Sonoda's past "friendship."

"Koji...Koji! What are you doing? Aren't we...aren't we good friends? Let's talk things out! Why resort to knives and guns? Look, my mom's here too. We can sit down and discuss our collaboration..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously took two steps closer to Koji Sonoda, seemingly trying to appear more friendly.

However, what responded to him was a sinister smile that suddenly appeared on Koji Sonoda's face and a merciless kick!
"boom!"

Koji Sonoda's right foot was like a cannonball, fast and fierce, and it landed precisely on Prince Hui's soft abdomen!

"Ugh—!"

Prince Hui let out a painful scream, staggering backward seven or eight steps like a kite with a broken string, before crashing heavily onto the dusty ground. He clutched his stomach, curled up in a ball, and was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, unable to speak.

He lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Koji Sonoda with an incredulous expression, as if he were seeing this person for the first time!

How can it be? !
How can this be? !
He clearly remembered that back in the boxing gym, this Koji Sonoda couldn't even last a single round against him, being completely overwhelmed! How come now... now he's so ruthless, so powerful?!
That kick was clearly designed to kill!

A surge of humiliation and anger welled up inside him. Despite the excruciating pain, Prince Hui struggled to get up, letting out a defiant roar as he tried to charge forward again.

Before he could even regain his footing, Koji Sonoda was already close by like a ghost, delivering a clean and swift chop to his chin with perfect precision!

"Crack!"

A soft, teeth-grinding cracking sound.

Prince Hui's vision went black, all his strength was instantly drained, and without uttering a sound, he collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll, completely losing consciousness.

Koji Sonoda didn't even glance at Prince Hui, who lay on the ground like a dead dog. His gaze, like that of a venomous snake spotting its prey, was fixed on Qiu Qinxiang, whose face was ashen.

This woman, whether it was her mature and charming beauty and alluring body, or the enormous power and resources of the Anbang Group she controlled, aroused his extremely strong interest and possessiveness!

If we can control her, we can not only join forces with her to easily bring down that troublesome Mu Linshan and completely control Anbang Group, but also greatly promote the huge plan that the mysterious force behind him has been planning for a long time!

Thinking of this, Koji Sonoda's eyes were practically overflowing with greed.

He took a step closer to Qiu Qinxiang, his face once again displaying that nauseatingly hypocritical smile, his tone seductive.

"Mrs. Qiu, you should be able to see the situation clearly now. Why make any more futile struggles? Cooperating with me is the best, and only, option for you and Young Master Hui."

I can assure you that as long as you cooperate obediently, the conditions I promised Hui Shao before will still apply to you, and even... I can give you more.”

Qiu Qinxiang looked at Sonoda Koji, who was closing in step by step, and then glanced at her unconscious son on the ground, as well as Li Minghao, who was protecting her as if facing a formidable enemy. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart, and her face regained its usual cold arrogance and composure. Her tone was decisive and carried undisguised contempt.

"Cooperation? You coward, a coward who only knows how to hide and scheme, do you think you're worthy of talking about cooperation with me? I, Qiu Qinxiang, would rather die than associate with someone like you!"

"Heh, that's got guts!"

Koji Sonoda didn't get angry; instead, he laughed, but that laugh was icy and chilling.

He clapped his hands.

Immediately, two black-clad warriors dragged in a middle-aged man covered in blood and unconscious, throwing him in like trash.

It was thrown down at Qiu Qinxiang's feet with a "plop".

Qiu Qinxiang stared intently, her pupils suddenly contracting—it was the driver she had left in the car outside! Clearly, Koji Sonoda's men had already silently taken care of the guards outside!

"Madam Qiu, did you see that?"

Koji Sonoda kicked the unconscious driver with his toe, his tone sinister.

"This is what happens when you don't cooperate. I have limited patience."

If you continue to refuse to listen to reason and then suffer the consequences... then he might not be the only one lying here next.

This blatant threat of death made Qiu Qinxiang's face even more pale.

However, the moment Sonoda Koji finished speaking, Li Minghao, who had been waiting in the wings, made his move!

He was waiting for that fleeting opportunity when the other party's attention was diverted!

"die!"

Li Minghao let out a short, sharp shout! His figure suddenly shot up like a ghost! He pushed off with his feet, sending dust flying! He feinted with his left dagger to attract attention, while his right dagger, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, carried a resolute killing intent and a piercing sound as it pierced the air, moving as fast as lightning straight for Sonoda Koji's vital chest!
This strike concentrated all his strength and energy, aiming for a fatal blow!

Koji Sonoda seemed to have anticipated Li Minghao's surprise attack. The moment he moved, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and his body suddenly flashed to the side at an extremely strange and agile angle!
"Hey!"

The blade of the dagger barely grazed Sonoda Koji's collar, tearing his coat but failing to injure his flesh!
At the same time, a black-clad samurai standing next to Koji Sonoda reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the same moment Li Minghao made his move, the samurai sword in his hand, carrying a chilling glint, slashed down fiercely at Li Minghao's right arm holding the sword!
The blade was sharp and fierce, clearly intended to sever his hand holding the knife!

Li Minghao's attack missed, and he knew he was in trouble. Facing this vicious slash, he remained calm and suddenly retracted his right hand, which he had thrust out. He changed his footwork and retreated half a step like an eel, narrowly avoiding the slash that would sever his arm!

But the crisis was not over! Another samurai's blade was already slashing down at his waist!
Li Minghao's eyes were as cold as iron. As he retreated, his left hand slashed upwards with a strange, unpredictable backhand dagger!

"Pfft!"

A dull thud as a sharp blade pierced flesh!

The samurai who had tried to cut him in half froze abruptly, looking down in disbelief at the blood gushing from his chest. A deep, bone-revealing wound stretched from his left rib to his right shoulder!

The katana in his hand clattered to the ground, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Li Minghao's backhand strike was swift and ruthless, severely injuring one person!
However, his momentary pause also put him completely surrounded!
"kill!"

"Kill him!"

The twenty or thirty black-clad warriors around them, seeing their comrade fall, were not afraid at all; instead, their ferocity was aroused!
They shouted strangely, brandishing their samurai swords, and charged at Li Minghao from all directions like a tidal wave!

In an instant, the blade flashed and the killing intent filled the air!
Countless cold blades wove a web of death, completely enveloping Li Minghao's figure!
Li Minghao was in the center of the net of blades, his face extremely solemn, but his eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit!
He knew that things were beyond saving and that the only option was to fight to the death!

He let out a roar like a wounded beast, and instead of retreating, he advanced, brandishing his two daggers to meet the sky full of sword light!
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dang-dang!”

The dagger and the katana clashed violently, producing a series of rapid, popping sounds like the metallic clang of exploding beans! Sparks flew everywhere!
Li Minghao wielded the two daggers like windmills, impervious to water!

His figure moved swiftly and agilely amidst the flashing swords, leaving only afterimages!

Every parry, every dodge, was a hair's breadth away! Every counterattack was precisely aimed at the enemy's vital points!
He made full use of the dagger's close-quarters combat advantage, weaving through the crowd like a slippery eel. Every now and then, black-clad warriors would scream in agony, their bodies bursting with blood, some with their throats slit, others with their hearts pierced, staggering to the ground.

However, there were far too many enemies! And each and every one of them was a well-trained, fearless, and desperate thug!

Although Li Minghao was brave, he couldn't fight off four opponents with his bare hands, and even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves!

As he parried the three samurai swords that came slashing at him from the front, a cunning blade still managed to slash a deep, bone-revealing gash across his back! Blood instantly stained his black clothes!
He grunted, but his movements didn't stop. He stabbed the attacker in the throat with a dagger!

His left shoulder was slashed again, leaving a trail of blood!
His calf was cut by the tip of the knife, causing a slight slowing of his movements...

His wounds multiplied, and the blood almost turned him into a blood-soaked figure!
But he remained as steadfast as a rock, standing firmly in front of Qiu Qinxiang, without retreating even a step!

The two daggers were still wielded like two deadly silver lightning bolts, and every swing drew blood!

More and more black-clad warriors lay on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than ten!

But the remaining samurai continued to charge forward like mad dogs!
Li Minghao's breathing became heavy, and his movements were noticeably less agile and swift than before.

The loss of blood and the rapid depletion of his strength were quickly wearing him down.

Covered in blood, Li Minghao wielded his two daggers with incredible speed, fiercely protecting Qiu Qinxiang. At his feet lay the corpses of more than ten black-clad warriors.

Koji Sonoda stood outside the battle circle, his eyes sinister.

He hadn't expected Li Minghao to be so fierce and valiant, managing to hold out for so long under heavy siege and even taking down so many of his men. The prolonged siege was causing him to lose patience.

His gaze passed over Li Minghao, who was fighting fiercely, and landed on Qiu Qinxiang, who was pale-faced behind him.

A cruel, cold smile appeared on his lips.

He gave a barely perceptible wink to a black-clad warrior who was approaching Qiu Qinxiang, and nodded towards Qiu Qinxiang with his lip.

The samurai immediately understood, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He feigned an attack on Li Minghao, but just as he got close, he suddenly twisted his body, his samurai sword flashing a cold light as it slashed straight at the unarmed and terrified Qiu Qinxiang!
This sudden change was abrupt and took an unexpected turn; it seemed Qiu Qinxiang was about to perish!

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Li Minghao's eyes were bloodshot!
All his attention was focused on the enemy in front of him. He never expected that the other party would be so despicable as to attack Qiu Qinxiang, who was completely defenseless!
He tried to turn around to help, but was entangled by several other samurai swords that attacked at the same time, and was unable to break free!
At this critical moment, Li Minghao made a resolute choice!

Ignoring the blade aimed at him, he mustered all his strength and hurled the dagger in his right hand like a javelin!

“Whoosh—Puff!”

The dagger transformed into a silver lightning bolt, striking first despite being behind, and pierced the back of the attacking warrior with unparalleled precision!
The samurai's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. He looked down in disbelief at the tip of the blade protruding from his chest, swayed, and fell to the ground. The samurai sword in his hand clattered to the ground, just one step away from Qiu Qinxiang.

Qiu Qinxiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She took several steps back and leaned against the cold wall to barely keep from collapsing.

However, Li Minghao paid a heavy price to save her! Losing a dagger instantly created a huge opening in his defense!

"die!"

How could the surrounding warriors let such a golden opportunity slip by? Several blades of light, like venomous snakes, slashed fiercely at the moment when his old strength was exhausted, his new strength had not yet been generated, and his defenses were wide open!

"Puff puff!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh is enough to make your teeth ache!
A blade flashed across his back, almost revealing his spine! Another slash cut into his left shoulder, so deep that bone was visible! The final slash cut deep into his right ribs, nearly disemboweling him!
Li Minghao's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to hold the dagger in his remaining left hand. (End of Chapter)
