"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Then I shall send you on your way first!" the Eastern Country's National Master sneered, then instantly appeared before Number One and kicked out.
Number One's expression was one of great alarm. He quickly used both hands to protect his head, bracing for the blow. However, how could he withstand it? He was sent flying back several meters, crashing onto the ground.
"Number One!"
"Number One!"
Several people in the team cried out in shock, raising their guns and pulling the triggers, aiming at the Eastern Country's National Master.
However, a wisp of black mist floated from the Eastern Country's National Master's body, blocking the bullets.
A sense of gloom enveloped the hearts of several people.
Even if they were to die, as long as they could buy enough time for the others!
Number One clenched his fists, tensed his entire body, and got up from the ground, gritting his teeth, his eyes fixed on the Eastern Country's National Master.
Fortunately, they had previously learned several cultivation techniques taught by Chen Jiuyang. Otherwise, with just that kick from the Eastern Country's National Master, he would have lost his life.
"Hmm? He's not dead?" Seeing Number One rise from the ground, a flicker of surprise flashed in the Eastern Country's National Master's eyes. His sinister grin grew even more intense. He enjoyed tormenting such people, slowly crushing their hope and confidence until they despaired and had no will to resist, before finally killing them.
The Eastern Country's National Master slowly walked towards Number One.
Number Three had run out of bullets. He directly hurled the gun in his hand at the Eastern Country's National Master, then drew the saber at his waist and charged towards the Eastern Country's National Master, intending to stall him and buy Number One time to recover.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Number Three used all the true qi in his body, striking one saber blow after another. Each blow landed accurately on the Eastern Country's National Master, but the Eastern Country's National Master stood still. Number Three's attacks could not harm him in the slightest.
"Bang—" The Eastern Country's National Master grew impatient and directly kicked Number Three away.
"He's too strong. I can't even break through his defense," Number Three said with a dejected look.
The Eastern Country's National Master was also bored. "Forget it. If this drags on, your reinforcements might arrive. It's better to send you on your way."
The Eastern Country's National Master raised his hand, and a chilling, malevolent aura erupted from his body, sweeping towards the group.
Number One and Number Three closed their eyes, awaiting death.
One second, two seconds... there was no sound...
Suddenly, a scorching aura, like that of the sun, rose at the scene!
What is this aura!
Number One and Number Three cautiously opened their eyes. They saw that the Eastern Country's National Master's hand was being held by another hand. The two hands were locked in a struggle. The Eastern Country's National Master's arm spewed black mist, trying to break free, but as soon as the black mist appeared, it was extinguished. The hand that grasped the Eastern Country's National Master's was like solid cement, unmoving.
Chen Jiuyang looked at them and said calmly, "I received your distress signal. I'm not late, am I?"
"Zero!"
The group cried out with fervent eyes.
"Captain!"
The moment Number One recognized Captain Chen Jiuyang, his eyes suddenly welled up with ecstatic joy.
"Who is this person? So strong! I didn't detect him at all when he appeared!"
"He can actually grab the National Master's hand. The National Master seems to be at a disadvantage?"
Everyone's gaze was filled with shock as they looked at Chen Jiuyang, who had appeared silently.
"Leave the rest to me," Chen Jiuyang said casually to the six people in his team.
"Yes, Captain!" Number Three said, tears streaming down his face in excitement.
"Leave it to you? Then I'd like to see how capable you are!" The Eastern Country's National Master sneered, and the black mist surged from his body, creating distance between him and Chen Jiuyang.
"Soul Devour!" the Eastern Country's National Master hissed, and a tangible mass of Yin souls and evil spirits surged from his body, pouncing towards Chen Jiuyang.
Everyone could hear the mournful and resentful cries of the Yin souls and evil spirits, sending shivers down their spines.
However, facing the Eastern Country's National Master's sinister attack, Chen Jiuyang tilted his head and turned, his icy gaze fixing directly on the Eastern Country's National Master's eyes.
Swish! As Chen Jiuyang's gaze swept over him, the Eastern Country's National Master felt a sharp chill in his heart. Goosebumps rose all over his body, and his heart clenched instantly.
"Boom!"
Chen Jiuyang merely raised the Yan Sheng Saber in his hand lightly, and the Eastern Country's National Master's attack dissipated into nothingness. He then made a gentle slash towards the Eastern Country's National Master from a distance.
"Crack—"
The Eastern Country's National Master's arm fell from his body onto the ground, and blood gushed from his shoulder.
"Ah!!!" The Eastern Country's National Master let out a piercing scream.
Defeated in one move! The scene fell silent. The ninjas under the Eastern Country's National Master's command looked on with astonishment and fear.
Behind Chen Jiuyang, the six members of Chen Jiuyang's team watched the scene dumbfounded. The Eastern Country's National Master's strength was something they considered untouchable, yet now, he couldn't even last one move against Chen Jiuyang?
How terrifying was Zero's strength? Although they had followed Chen Jiuyang for some time, they had never seen him make a move and didn't know how strong he was!
"With Zero here, we can survive..."
"Noisy."
Chen Jiuyang sounded impatient upon hearing the Eastern Country's National Master's scream, his icy voice ringing out.
"Bang!"
Chen Jiuyang lightly raised his other hand from a distance, making a pinching gesture. The Eastern Country's National Master immediately lost his voice, as if his mouth was covered and his neck was choked.
"!!!"
This scene, witnessed by those dozen or so Eastern Country ninjas, made their hair stand on end. One ninja immediately turned to flee.
Subsequently, Chen Jiuyang raised the Yan Sheng Saber and casually swung it towards the fleeing ninja.
"Crack!"
The fleeing ninja's eyes widened as his head separated from his body. In his final moments, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"!!!"
The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
Chen Jiuyang exuded a dangerous aura like a flood or a ferocious beast, his cold eyes sweeping over the remaining dozen or so Eastern Country ninjas.
Not a single ninja dared to meet Chen Jiuyang's gaze.
"Eastern Country beasts, kneel and surrender, and I might spare your lives!"
Chen Jiuyang's voice boomed like rolling thunder in their ears, making their bodies tremble uncontrollably.
The few members of Chen Jiuyang's team felt their blood surge with excitement.
Then, a powerful and terrifying pressure emanated from Chen Jiuyang, sweeping towards the remaining dozen or so Eastern Country ninjas.
Swish!
Plop!
Feeling this suffocating aura, the legs of these dozen or so Eastern Country ninjas went weak, and they immediately knelt down.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Put handcuffs on them and tie them up. Don't let them escape."
"Yes, Zero," Number Two said. With the situation now stable, Number Five and Number Six hurried to check on the injuries of Number One and Number Three. Number Two and Number Four went to tie up the surrendered Eastern Country ninjas.
"Who are you?" the Eastern Country's National Master asked Chen Jiuyang, his voice trembling with fear.
