Strange Cards

Chapter 178 This is a Gift of Parting

Qi Wu stared intently at the two computers Guan Yun had created from remnants of fire, and sensed something was amiss when he saw Shi Yu return.

Why didn't that kid slow down?

Qi Wu realized that Shi Yu might really be in big trouble, so he quickly took the King of Spades from Bai Yu's hand and the Seven of Clubs from Li Shun, along with his own Shadow Mantis, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the sky.

However, the high temperature generated by the friction quickly melted the remaining fire mech. Qi Wu's last sight was a fire meteor streaking across the sky, and then the fire meteor slowly disappeared.

Qi Wu wanted to rush over but couldn't, and could only watch helplessly as Shi Yu died before his eyes.

Qi Wu returned to the ground with a gloomy face, and his angry voice shook several clouds in the sky.

"Guan Yun! Investigate for me!"

"That kid wouldn't be dead without that missile! I need to know where that missile came from!"

Ji Xuan and the rest of the group from the Eastern Base, along with Da Fu, quickly returned carrying a boat, and the people on board, foaming at the mouth, were clearly dead.

"Boss Qi Wu."

Ji Xuan looked at Qi Wu, whose eyes were practically spitting fire, and said in a weak voice.

"Thanks to Sister Leng's abilities, we quickly found this group of people, but they had poison hidden behind their teeth and committed suicide."

"Although it was very well hidden, we still managed to uncover some clues."

"Three of them were clearly on the Japanese side, while the others with Chinese faces were..."

"The Zhang family from abroad... that is, the family that you, Qi Wu, publicly beheaded last time for the woman who said her family had killed hunters."

"Guan Yun, issue an arrest warrant in the name of the Southern Base."

"The Zhang family members overseas command at least ten million for a single head!"

"Regardless of age!!!"

Qi Wu looked at Bai Yu and extended his hand.

"Little Baiyu, do you dare to go with your Uncle Wu to avenge your master?"

Bai Yu nodded. When Shi Yu gave Bai Yu those four cards, the Ace of Spades used his power to slightly modify Bai Yu's body, making Bai Yu's body compatible with the abilities of the Jack and Queen.

"Alright, everyone, a few of you will follow me."

"Shunzi Da Niu, Yu Yan Liu An."

"Tonight, the six of us will pull off a big heist—we'll sink an entire Japanese island."

"Use these two Hunter God mechs. The four of you will pilot them, and I'll take Bai Yu and sneak in to hunt them down."

"The Hunter's Revenge..."

It will come eventually.

The headhunters from the other three bases didn't try to stop Qi Wu, who was in a rage, because they knew very well that they couldn't stop him.

The four of them had worked together for so many years, and they knew Qi Wu's character well.

Even the usually composed Qi Wu lost his composure for the first time in front of everyone, and at that moment, Yan Hua, the commander of Dawn, who was tallying the casualties, arrived.

"Report! The Dawn Army has 455 wounded, 105 of whom are seriously wounded, and the rest are all slightly wounded."

"No one died!"

Yan Hua had never felt so triumphant before; this was the first time that the Dawn Army had not suffered any casualties on the battlefield where the Gates of Hell had been opened.

Guan Yun quickly finished counting the number of hunters' casualties using two Remnant Fires. Looking at the only casualty count, Guan Yun said with a bitter tone.

"Boss, only one hunter has died."

Hearing this data, Qi Wu, who was already furious, became even angrier, because he knew very well who the hunter had died, and that kid had even died right in front of him.

"This grudge must be avenged!"

"I, Qi Wu, swear I will never be a human being!!!"

........

It was already dark when, by sheer coincidence, the Ace of Spades drifted into the western forest.

Fortunately, in the last moment before Shigure died, Ace of Spades absorbed Shigure's consciousness and the Demon Blade into his own body. Looking at Shigure, who was now just a wisp of consciousness, and his only remaining body, Ace of Spades slapped Shigure's consciousness a dozen times before grabbing that wisp of consciousness and stuffing it into his body.

Because Shigure's consciousness was too weak, it was at risk of being extinguished at any time if a body wasn't found to house it.

The Ace of Spades quickly shone, and a moment later, Shigure, dressed in a black robe, appeared on the ground.

A moment later, Shiyu's fingers twitched, and then she slowly woke up.

"I...I'm not dead?"

"Nonsense! If I hadn't pulled your consciousness and that knife into the cards at the last second, you'd be lying on the ground buried in the mountains right now."

"I just prepared my body! Go to hell with your mother and uncle!"

Shi Yu propped herself up with her hands, and the Ace of Spades impatiently took out the Demon Blade and made Shi Yu use it as a crutch.

"I've checked the location; this is the western forest."

"Get out of here quickly! This body hasn't been replenished with ghost power. If you're too slow, you might starve to death in this forest."

"What if I really can't get out?"

Shi Yu had intended to make a joke, but A became serious and said...

"Then I will forcibly break the seal on the card, transform myself into my true form, and send you away."

"Although the price might be being found by the Joker, having your consciousness erased, and being sealed back into the Ace of Spades, I don't want such an interesting human kid like you to die."

"Remember this, I saved your life, you belong to me from now on."

Shi Yu, supporting himself with the Fiend Blade, slowly walked out, using the cover of night to guide himself in a certain direction.

And now, on Shikoku Island, one of the four islands occupied by the Japanese, an inhumane massacre is taking place.

If Qi Wu hadn't stopped Shi Yu from finishing off the enemy, this mess wouldn't have happened now.

The Emperor, that old dog, didn't die at all. That bastard actually had his own men block the explosion, and then he held onto the floating corpse and waited for the rescue to arrive.

Shikoku Island is also the location of the Emperor's residence, because it is a completely sealed-off island with no foreigners.

The island was full of military bases, which gave Guan Yun an opportunity.

Guan Yun detonated the nuclear bombs in the three nuclear silos directly through the smoke cloud. Then, two Hunter God mechs rushed in, and Qi Wu and Bai Yu, wearing specially made anti-radiation combat suits, also sneaked in and began their revenge.

In just half an hour, the entire island was slaughtered. The two men could smell the blood even through their combat suits.

"Boss, there are several underwater volcanoes beneath this island."

"Directly detonating the volcano would cause an earthquake. I have already planted nanobombs in the most critical parts of this island. Once detonated, the island will definitely sink."

"Detonate it."

"If that old dog dies, then so be it. If it doesn't, let it live a few more days. I'll kill it on the seventh day after Shigure's death."

"I'm so sorry for that child."

Qi Wu and Bai Yu quickly flew onto the top of the two mechs, and just then, several barely perceptible muffled sounds rang out, and the entire Shikoku Island began to sink.

"This is a gift of parting."
