"Hold on tight! We're under attack! "
"F * ck! Something's affecting us! "
"Parachute! Parachute! We're going to fall! "
Boom!
A ball of fire exploded in the dark sky. It was so bright that it attracted the attention of many people on the battlefield. It was the first armed helicopter to be destroyed. Logically speaking, it was impossible for these ninjas, who could only jump at low altitudes, to destroy a war machine that could easily reach hundreds of meters. But since this was war, anything could happen.
"Have the helicopters retreat!"
Saber's voice rang out in Robin's earpiece. "Have the ordinary members stay away from the last position. Send them to sweep the streets. Gather the elites and prepare for an assault. The elites of the Hand are on the move!"
As the propellers spun, the remaining three helicopters quickly left the battlefield, and Robin's voice rang out.
"Roger that! I'll be there soon. Be careful! "
Saber, who was running along the top of the ruins and attacking the Hand's last line of defense, chuckled when he heard this. "Bro, these rats alone can't kill me."
He looked at the last few buildings that were still standing in the distance, and his eyes under his helmet pulsed with killing intent. Black flames danced on his body like dragon wings, as if they were streaking across the darkness of the night. This energy formed a layer of armor over his body. He had already opened the skulls of countless ninjas, but he knew that this wasn't enough …
Compared with what he had sacrificed, this was far from enough!
Outside the last three strongholds of the Hand, Mrs. Gao, who was wearing a long black dress and leaning on a wooden cane, looked at the unsettling night in front of her. In her eyes, this chaotic street had never been as "bright" as it was tonight. All she could see were burning ruins, like torches in the dark night.
Such a scene, even in the eyes of this Immortal who had lived for hundreds of years, was an extremely rare scene of war. It even made her recall the fierce battles when the Hand was first established. She had once thought that she had forgotten those distant memories, but now, she realized that she had never forgotten them. It was like a paradise in her memories that would never fade.
That was already a part of her life. Denying it was the same as denying her own existence.
"Madam, The Devil Gang has retreated!"
Shadows gathered behind Mrs. Gao, and a ninja dressed in black appeared. He was dressed in a very simple manner, with a long and a short sword at his waist. He respectfully reported to Mrs. Gao.
He reported to Mrs. Gao, "Should we break out? Someone as honorable as you shouldn't appear in such a dangerous battlefield! "
"They've retreated?"
Mrs. Gao scoffed and shook her head. "Saber, I told you a long time ago. We pulled back our fists just so we can hit them harder. Tell your men to prepare for a fierce battle.. The next attack will definitely be life-threatening … If it's dangerous, you can leave............. the ancient Hand......."..........
This Immortal closed his eyes and spoke softly in a low voice. The smell of smoke and blood wafted through the darkness.
...............
"We won't abandon you and run for our lives!"
The ninja in black knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Please leave. We will protect this place with our lives. You are the true soul of the Hand!"
Before Mrs. Gao could say anything, a voice rang out in the darkness.
"Leave? No, no, no. None of you can leave alive! "
Bang!
The war hammer wrapped in black flames smashed onto Mrs. Gao's head, and Seiber leaped out from the darkness, his body covered in black flames and sent the ninja flying.
"I told you, everyone in the Hand will die here! I'm a man of my word! "
He tilted his head, retracted his warhammer, and took a step back, allowing the ninjas in black to surround him, but his eyes were locked on the cyan airflow that was constantly rotating and contracting like the eye of the storm in front of him.
Mrs. Gao wasn't harmed at all. She opened her left hand and used a mysterious power to block Saber's full-strength attack. Even the corrosive and burning black fire couldn't break through the green air current, but the wooden staff in her hand had already cracked inch by inch and turned into wood chips that scattered in the air. The green air current picked up the chips, which shone like jade in the air.
"You're Saber Hawk?"
There wasn't much expression on Mrs. Gao's cold face. She sized up the man in front of her who looked like he was wearing dark armor with a very calm gaze. Even though he was surrounded by more than 30 shadow warriors, he wasn't afraid at all. A few seconds later, the leader of the Hand, who had ruled for hundreds of years, said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm afraid that you're not going to give in to me.
"You have the aura of an evil ghost and a bloody aura so thick that it makes one unable to think. The heavy entanglement of fate. Against someone like you, the Hand has no complaints about its defeat.
"You should have already expected this outcome from the moment you recklessly reached out to my family. Tell me, how do you plan to die?"
Saber tilted his head, and the black fire on the surface of the war hammer in his hand rippled. The scorching heat became even more explosive, and the shadow warriors around him couldn't help but take a step back. Only Mrs. Gao's expression didn't change. She narrowed her eyes and flexed her fists. As she moved, the golden crane embroidered on her black dress seemed to come alive. In the face of Saber's provocation, she chose a calmer response.
She stood where she was and spread her hands. A sudden air current blew the black fire around Saber's body, and Mrs. Gao waved her hand.
"Saber, take your men and leave … Your ancestors have protected me for 500 years. Now, it's time for me to protect their descendants."
Whoosh!
Two sharp blades, one long and one short, were suddenly unsheathed. The ninja in black seemed to have teleported between Mrs. Gao and Saber. He shouted in a hoarse and firm voice.
"No! Protecting the venerable is the Wind Demon family's mission. I can't betray it! I will die here. This is my moment of glory! "
Bang!
Mrs. Gao punched Saber, who was caught off guard, in the neck. The leader's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. Mrs. Gao said solemnly to the other shadow warriors.
"Take Saber away! You have an even more important mission … I'll leave the ancient legacy of the Hand to you! "
Saber didn't stop any of this. He just carried the war hammer and watched Mrs. Gao and the shadow warriors with interest. Under Mrs. Gao's orders, the warriors finally disappeared into the darkness one by one, just like how they had appeared, taking their leader with them. In the end, when only the old Mrs. Gao and Saber were left behind, he stretched his shoulders and gripped the war hammer with both hands. Black flames soared over his body.
"Can we fight now?"
With an agility that did not match her age, Mrs. Gao assumed a fighting stance that separated her fist from her palm. This was clearly the starting stance of a high-level martial art. At this moment, her pair of usually cold eyes bloomed with a kind of casual expression, as if she had returned to the time when she was young. That was a very, very long time ago.
"Those ambitious young people built a shadow domain in the fortress behind me … They think they can truly control the Hand, but I know that they're just a bunch of servants of the shadow beast. Ever since I awakened that demon hundreds of years ago, this organization is no longer pure. But Saber and his people are still loyal, which moves me a little … although it's occasionally annoying."
As Mrs. Gao talked to Saber as if she were chatting with him, she turned into several afterimages and attacked Saber in various ways. An unimaginably thick green aura wrapped around her body, and the aura on her fists almost condensed into a pair of green gloves. At first, Saber tried to fight Mrs. Gao head-on, but in less than ten seconds, he was hit 25 times in a row and was sent flying out of the battlefield.
The dazzling green afterimages returned to their original forms, and Mrs. Gao calmly retracted her fist. The green airflow formed a lifelike image of a red-crowned crane behind her, and green feather-like airflow fluttered around her body. She sized up Seiber.
"So, this is what you're relying on to brag? Or do you really think that brute force can take care of all enemies? "
Saber got up from the ground, but Mrs. Gao didn't take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, she put her hands behind her back and looked at Saber. The latter asked in a voice that had been modified by a voice changer.
"What's your relationship with Kunlun? I've only seen this kind of martial technique from one person! "
"Kunlun?"
Mrs. Gao sighed. "That's your hometown, the place where everything began and ended, but it's not a sacred place that someone like you should know about. You just have a conflict with the Hand."
This question seemed to trigger Mrs. Gao's desire to talk, so she picked up where she left off and continued her story with the Hand.
"The Hand was originally just a game I made when I had nothing to do, but when you play a game for 100 years, it's no longer as simple as a game. It's part of my life. It was a beautiful time, but when I was still very arrogant and tried to awaken the shadow beast for my use, everything was no longer beautiful.
"The shadow beast corrupted the organization that had originally sacrificed itself for justice and dragged it into a quagmire. I wanted to take care of it myself, but I couldn't make up my mind. After all, it's part of my life."
Mrs. Gao turned her head and dodged Saber's heavy blow. Her hands danced like afterimages, and the strange force on her arms guided Saber's hammer and the enormous force it carried to smash the ground. As the ground shook, she approached Saber like a green shadow. The latter stretched out his hand to block, but Mrs. Gao's hands easily bypassed it, and her hands, which seemed to be wearing green gloves, pressed against the dark energy armor on Saber's body.
The moment the two forces collided, Seiber's body was sent flying once again.
"Sigh … people will always grow old."
Mrs. Gao strolled forward like a long-winded old lady, chattering on about a story that Saber wasn't interested in at all. "I was old and left heaven. In the end, I couldn't beat time. In the seventh 100 years after I was banished, I finally saw through everything. I couldn't stay in the mortal world anymore. I decided to return to the place where I was born and use the rest of my life to atone for my sins."
She looked at Saber, who was getting up again. There was already a gap in the dark energy in the young man's chest.
She whispered, "But the Hand won't perish just like that. What perishes is just its rotten shell. It will be reborn in the destruction and finally grow into a shadow that blots out the sky. But that has nothing to do with me anymore … My reincarnation is about to end.
"And you …"
Her gaze sharpened at that moment. "You will be the last blood I stain in this world, and the beginning of my path of atonement! In this world, power needs to be balanced! This world doesn't need an evil spirit who destroys the balance! "
Saber got up from the ground and stretched his shoulders, revealing a sinister smile under his helmet. Mrs. Gao's martial arts were top-notch, but so what? He wasn't injured at all …
"Are you done yet? You despicable old hag, your fists don't have any power at all. Do you really think you have me? What nonsense are you talking about? "
He picked up the hammer on the ground and pointed at Mrs. Gao.
"I said, none of you from the Hand can escape. This … will be your burial ground!"
