The Last Sentinel

This deadly blow instantly threw Young Master Tianyou into disarray.

He was well aware of Tokugawa Mitsunori's strength. The opponent was already a half-step 3.0 planetary-level space warrior, and with the training and resources he had received over the years, his combat power had already reached the top level in the carbon-based universe, second only to Li Wenzhong of the Great Xia civilization. Now that the opponent had used a deadly move, and he himself was seriously injured, he was simply powerless to resist.

Now that things have come to this, hiding our abilities would be tantamount to courting death!

A resolute and ruthless glint flashed in Young Master Tianyou's eyes. "A dog is still a dog. How dare you dream of sitting at the same table as your master! Tokugawa Mitsunori, you disloyal dog, it's time for you to be executed today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Young Master Tianyou pushed outward with one hand, using the last bit of his energy to condense a transparent, rippled wall in front of him. This wall was tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, its entire surface like water, constantly spreading layers of fine ripples. These ripples intertwined and converged to form ancient, simple patterns.

Upon closer inspection, these patterns bear a striking resemblance to the dragon and phoenix seal script of the Xia and Han dynasties. The lines are smooth and majestic, connected end to end, one circle after another, stretching endlessly, giving one a sense of indestructibility like the Great Wall, exuding a profound and ancient aura.

Hundreds of fiery Asura sword demons, wreathed in flames, crashed violently against the Water Pattern Great Wall. With a deafening roar, flames shot into the sky, and energy scattered in all directions. Countless fiery sword demons exploded on the spot upon impact, forming terrifying fire shockwaves that swept in all directions.

The Water Ripple Great Wall trembled violently, its surface rippling continuously. The dragon and phoenix seal patterns emitted a faint light, barely resisting the erosion of the flames, but fine cracks also appeared.

But this was not the end. While the Water Ripple Great Wall was resisting the attack, it was also absorbing the power of the flames. The ripples on its surface became more and more rapid, and the dragon and phoenix seal patterns shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, ten times the number of Flowing Water Blade Demons condensed from the Water Pattern Great Wall, each ten meters tall, with a blue-white body, wielding a hundred-meter-long Water Pattern Blade, and radiating a chilling aura, forming a stark contrast with the Fiery Blade Demons.

These water-sword demons had icy eyes and moved in perfect unison, wielding their water-patterned longswords and sweeping down on Tokugawa Mitsunobu in a massive, overwhelming attack. Wherever they passed, the air froze, the sparks on the ground were extinguished instantly, and wet trails were left behind.

Upon seeing this, Tokugawa Mitsunori's expression changed drastically. He realized something was wrong and tried to retreat, but it was too late. Thousands of water-sword demons instantly surrounded him, forming an impenetrable sword array. Countless snow-white sword lights converged at a single point, and terrifying power continuously condensed, instantly distorting the space within a ten-thousand-meter radius of the Tianyou Mansion. The air became thick and oppressive, as if even breathing had become difficult.

"boom--"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, shaking the earth and causing chaos. The Water Blade Demon's attack collided violently with Tokugawa Mitsunobu's fiery power, creating a terrifying energy shockwave that swept across the entire mansion.

The already dilapidated mansion was completely reduced to nothing by the impact of this force. A terrifying meteorite crater with a diameter of over five thousand meters was smashed into the ground. The crater walls were smooth and scorching hot. The surrounding ruins and dust were swept into the air by the shock wave, forming a huge column of dust that shot straight into the sky.

At that moment, Sima Laozei, who was cleaning up the battlefield not far away, was startled by the sudden explosion. His weapon clattered to the ground. He hurriedly looked up and followed the direction of the explosion. His face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Quick! Everyone stop cleaning up the battlefield! Go and support the general immediately! Damn it, those alien lackeys have magical weapons!" Sima Laoze roared, his voice filled with anxiety and panic. He knew the importance of Tokugawa Mitsunobu; if the general were to fall, the entire Fusang tribe would be plunged into utter ruin.

Upon hearing this, the samurai of the shogunate dared not delay for a moment. They picked up their weapons and rushed toward the Tenyou Mansion with shouts and footsteps, their cries filled with a sense of panic.

When the old scoundrel Sima arrived at Tianyou Mansion with his warriors, the sight before him made him almost unable to believe his eyes.

The once magnificent and ornately decorated mansion of Prince Tianyou has long since vanished.

Instead, a huge meteorite crater appeared, filled with flying dust, smoke from ruins, and sweltering heat. At a glance, Prince Tenyou and Tokugawa Mitsunori were nowhere to be seen, as if they had both been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"General, General!" The old scoundrel Sima knelt by the pit, heartbroken, and cried out into it, his voice filled with grief and self-reproach. "I told you! Enter the village quietly, don't fire! We're here to assassinate, to assassinate! Why did you have to confront them head-on again? Wasn't that giving them an opportunity? That's the holy son of a great family, not some impoverished nobody. He must have some powerful weapons! Alas... it's all my fault, I didn't stop you!"

Just then, a weak and hoarse voice came from the bottom of the pit, intermittent yet clearly reaching everyone's ears: "Save me..."

"General! It's the General's voice!" The old scoundrel Sima suddenly raised his head, a glint of wild joy in his eyes. He hurriedly looked left and right, his voice trembling, "I'm not hallucinating! It's the General's voice! Quick, everyone search carefully, the General is still alive!"

The weak voice came again, tinged with pain: "I'm at your feet!"

Upon hearing this, the old scoundrel Sima hurriedly jumped up and looked down at the spot beneath his feet. There, in the loose soil at the bottom of the pit, was a mangled, bloody finger, its knuckles twisted and covered in mud and blood—clearly Tokugawa Mitsunobu's.

"Quick! Dig the general out!" the old scoundrel Sima shouted frantically, his voice filled with urgency. He was the first to plunge to the bottom of the pit, frantically digging at the loose soil with his bare hands. His fingers were cut by the gravel, bleeding profusely, but he paid no heed, only concerned with rescuing Tokugawa Mitsunori as quickly as possible. "General, don't panic, I'm coming to save you! Hold on a little longer, we'll get you out soon!"

The samurai of the shogunate also reacted quickly, rushing down into the pit to join the digging. Using their hands and weapons, they soon cleared an area.

Tokugawa Mitsunori's figure gradually came into view. He was covered in wounds, his armor was tattered, and his body was covered with rubble and dirt. His breath was extremely weak, and he was barely clinging to life. He had obviously suffered a serious injury.

However, just as everyone was busy digging into Tokugawa Mitsunobu and letting their guard down, a mocking yet cold voice came from the edge of the pit, breaking the tension and chaos: "I told you, timing is everything. Look, we've arrived just in time to feast on Tokugawa Mitsunobu's grand banquet! The Shogun's feast is sure to be delicious! Don't you all agree?"

"That's right!"

"Haha, today we can finally get rid of this major threat!"

A chorus of agreement rose and fell, laced with mockery and murderous intent. Sima Laozei's heart sank; he knew something was wrong. He whirled around and saw several figures standing by the pit, their aura menacing, their eyes filled with hostility. Leading them were Hua Xiaobai, the Tiger Warriors Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and the three brothers of the King of Hanzhong. Each of them exuded a powerful aura, clearly having come prepared.

Before Sima Yi could react, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two of the Tiger Warriors, launched their attack first. The two were burly men, like small mountains, and charged towards Sima Yi with incredible speed and immense power.

Sima, the old scoundrel, had no time to dodge. He was violently knocked away by the two men, crashing heavily against the pit wall. He coughed up blood, was in excruciating pain, and could no longer get up.

Seeing this, the shogunate's samurai grabbed their weapons, wanting to rush forward to stop them, but were blocked by the three brothers of the King of Hanzhong. The two sides were instantly entangled in a fierce battle. However, the shogunate's samurai had just gone through a major battle and were already exhausted, while their opponents were well-rested and powerful. They were quickly at a disadvantage, with screams rising and falling one after another.

At the same time, a leisurely voice came from the crowd, carrying a hint of indifference and authority: "Where is Hua Xiong?"

As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a Green Dragon Crescent Blade swept in with a chilling light. It carried an undeniable will and immense power, slashing straight towards Tokugawa Mitsunori at the bottom of the pit. Where the blade's light passed, the air was torn apart, leaving a long crack, and the surrounding earth was swirled up by the blade's force—a truly awe-inspiring scene.

This is Ah Yu's ultimate move—[Killer Move: Slaying Hua Xiong]!

This move is simple and unadorned, devoid of any fancy tricks, yet it contains extreme power and killing intent; it is Ayu's signature technique. Ayu is the strongest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the third among them to advance to the 2.0 Satellite-level God Warrior, possessing unfathomable strength. His [Killing Move - Slaying Hua Xiong] has reached a level of consummate skill, achieving a conceptual level of power against opponents below level 3.0: "Whoever is Hua Xiong will die," making him unstoppable.

At this moment, a brand new title slowly appeared above Tokugawa Mitsunobu's head, with two words clearly written on it—【Hua Xiong】! This meant that under Ayu's attack, Tokugawa Mitsunobu's fate was sealed.

"Baka—"

Tokugawa Mitsunobu felt the deadly threat coming from above, and a flash of extreme fear and resentment crossed his eyes!

Logically speaking, a dull warrior like A Yu would never have the chance to apply the [Hua Xiong] buff to himself!

He could single-handedly defeat the three brothers of the King of Hanzhong!

But now he was severely injured and could hardly move. He could only let out a harsh and angry curse, a curse filled with boundless hatred and resentment!

But Ayu won't give him a chance to fight back!

The next second, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade crashed down!

A flash of blade, and blood splattered!

Under this powerful strike, Tokugawa Mitsunori's body instantly turned to ashes, leaving not a trace, completely annihilated. His hatred and resentment also vanished with that strike.

Hua Xiaobai and the others, who were by the pit, watched this scene with a satisfied smile. Meanwhile, Sima Laozei, looking at the spot where Tokugawa Mitsunobu had vanished into thin air, was filled with despair and grief. He collapsed to the ground, unable to utter another word.

The fires still raged, the smoke still billowed, and only endless silence and desolation remained on the ruins of the Tokugawa residence. This bloody battle, sparked by betrayal and ambition, finally came to an end with the death of Tokugawa Mitsunori.

The battle was far from over, and Hua Xiaobai's gaze fell on the dying Tianyou Gongzi.
