Chapter 1332: 1329
With transportation, they suffered much less.
After all, the extended fighting had taken a significant toll on their physical strength.
Furthermore, Lucas Davis and Li Daoyang, having the weakest cultivation, both needed to rest and recover some inner ‘Qi’.
Otherwise, by the time they reached the Li family estate, they would have no fighting power left!
Meanwhile…
“Takeshita-kun, the brothers can’t hold on any longer, let’s retreat quickly!”
A top-tier specialist from Wright Company shouted loudly.
The pursuers had not managed to catch up solely because Takeshita Shun, leading hundreds of elite ninjas, had held them off.
Seeing the incoming wave of opponents, Takeshita Shun’s face slightly changed: “Retreat while fighting!”
It was hard to imagine how Oliver Walker and his four companions had broken through the siege.
After all, he, along with the hundred elite ninjas, had joined the battlefield for less than fifteen minutes before half were lost, which was no joking matter.
Especially since these elite ninjas constituted the backbone of Wright Company.
Because top-tier ninjas like him were few and far between.
They were usually there for deterrence, who would really join the fray?
This time?
They had been pressured by the Eastern Royal Family; it wasn’t their choice to get involved.
But even with the heavy casualties, they couldn’t just retreat completely.
If Oliver Walker didn’t make it out alive, they would face severe punishment.
Of course, Wesley Wright knew that the Eastern Royal Family didn’t actually want them to protect Oliver Walker; they just wanted Wright Company to pay a heavy price in this battle of god-slaying.
Therefore, even knowing this, and though it was painful, he still had to watch as one after another of his skilled fighters fell into pools of blood.
However, the remaining ninjas really couldn’t hold on for long and were soon divided and surrounded by the various powers.
Takeshita Shun panicked, hacking at the frenzied enemies while hysterically yelling: “Retreat!”
“Retreat quickly!”
“Run for it, as many as can!”
He could certainly escape, since no one among the group could stop him!
But…
The group of elite ninjas he had brought were almost instantly felled in the throng.
Their bodies were trampled into a pulp!
The god-slaying army didn’t bother with Takeshita Shun, their bloodshot eyes focused on chasing towards the Li family estate.
But at the intersection, upon seeing the corpse of the Sword Saint—Maruko Show, everyone was shocked!
“He… he’s dead?”
“The seventh-ranked ninja on the list is dead?”
“Gulp…”
Some swallowed hard, some were scared out of their wits!
Wasn’t he damned brutal?
“Dammit!”
“Ten billion!”
“Ten billion yen!”
“Money!”
“…”
Some were scared stiff, but many others were blinded by the immense bounty.
Even knowing they were heading towards death, for that ten billion, they still had to try their luck.
What if by some stroke of luck they were favored by the heavens?
What if they managed to kill Oliver Walker by chance?
So…
The majority chose to continue the pursuit.
And those who were ready to give up were forced by the rushing crowd to keep running!
At this moment, if anyone dared to stop, they would only be trampled into mincemeat!
“Money!”
“Dammit, hurry up!”
“Dammit, I’m going all out!”
“…”
Soon, many in the god-slaying army began to fight each other due to speed issues, almost red-eyed in rage.
Meanwhile, at the Yamaguchi-gumi Headquarters!
“Dammit!”
“A bunch of trash!”
Watching the video footage on the big screen, Yamaguchi Kuntai cursed loudly: “Not a single one can fight; what’s this Sword Saint, what’s this seventh-ranked fighter?”
“All idiots!”
“Dammit!”
He was nearly driven mad with anger!
This…
How could so many people still let him get away?
Why don’t they just drop dead?
