However, there was clearly a weak point among these Deadpools, seemingly at the entrance to another garage, where sounds of battle could be heard.
If Caesar is not mistaken, Gu Ran is probably fighting over there.
He instinctively tried to move closer to Chu Zihang, but this weak spot was immediately filled by other Dead Servants, and they were once again in dire straits.
On the other side, Gu Ran killed all ten of his death servants in less than a minute. He was wielding the Ichimonji Norimune katana and had no difficulty fighting in such a relatively open space.
After Gu Ran cleaved a three-meter-tall Dead Servant in two with a single strike, the other Dead Servants behind him stopped. Their remaining rationality told them that they couldn't afford to mess with the human in front of them, and without any orders, they retreated.
Just like before, they were afraid of Erii.
"Scared already?" Gu Ran sneered. "Don't go, become my food. Isn't that what your master always says?"
Gu Ran activated his muscles using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, instantly chasing after the fleeing Death Servants. For each Death Servant he killed, he would immediately offer its blood sample to the system.
……
Meanwhile, the King and Tachibana Masamune also discovered Genjiro, and so they began to put on the next act.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Jiang Gan stole the book, another scene was Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai in a self-inflicted injury ruse. Now, two shadow puppeteers playing the roles of the king and Tachibana Masamune are also staging a self-inflicted injury ruse, occasionally reciting predetermined lines like stage actors.
I don't know how long they rehearsed this scene, but the performance went quite smoothly without any retakes.
Tachibana Masamune summoned the elevator, which contained an armory, and then he began fighting the King.
To highlight the king's mystery and power, he couldn't be defeated all at once, so the two pretended to grapple for a few rounds, with the king feigning confusion as to why Tachibana Masamune could fight him to a standstill.
The king struck Tachibana Masamune hard; such a blow would have been fatal to an ordinary person, yet Tachibana Masamune managed to grab the king's sword! Taking advantage of the close proximity, he elbowed the king in the face, forcing the king to abandon his sword and retreat. Tachibana Masamune then launched a pursuit!
Fingel provided live commentary from a distance via communication, much like the commentator during the battle between the senior brother and the delivery boy in "King of Destruction".
However, Chu Zihang and Caesar, who were still in the garage, were not in a good situation. These Deadpools were as agile as fish in the water, while the two of them were like live targets in the water. Moreover, with the water providing cover and cushioning, their attacks were unlikely to be effective.
"Gu Ran, can't you find a way to support us?" Caesar had no choice but to ask Gu Ran for help. "Or you can go up and support the giant tortoise first. The first objective is to kill the king general, and the second is Genjiro."
“I blocked the exit from the garage door on the other side,” Gu Ran said.
“How could Deadpool retreat without a reason!” Chu Zihang said sternly.
Just when the two of them were at their wits' end, Caesar suddenly heard the sound of wooden clappers, and then, the dead servants actually retreated!
Deadpools are only controlled by the will to kill, so they generally won't give up the blood and flesh in front of them, especially since they have already surrounded Caesar and his companion, ready to hunt them down at any moment.
But now, they've actually given up their prey!
Chu Zihang and Caesar were shocked, which meant that someone really had mastered the method to control Deadpool.
“I heard the clapper sound outside earlier than you did, and I guessed that the Dead Servants were being controlled by someone. Now it seems that I was right,” Gu Ran said calmly. “What we destroyed before was only Tachibana Masamune’s breeding pond. These Dead Servants are likely being raised by the King.”
“We understand,” Caesar replied. “We’re going up now to support the Tortoise. Be careful with Deadpool.”
"Okay." Gu Ran agreed, cut off the communication, and then ambushed Deadpool at the exit of another garage for another round of killing!
Caesar and Chu Zihang climbed out of the cable duct and took the elevator upstairs. They knew they should conserve their energy at this time. Yuan Zhisheng, on the other hand, climbed the stairs at an extremely fast pace, aiming to reach the scene as quickly as possible.
While riding the elevator, Chu Zihang noticed slimy footprints on the floor.
Caesar also noticed this and immediately ordered Fingel and Lu Mingfei to observe for any suspicious targets.
Lu Mingfei said no, he was using an infrared telescope, which could see targets emitting heat radiation. Except for Gu Ran underground, whom he couldn't see, and Kazama Ruri, whose whereabouts were unknown, everyone else was in his field of vision.
"Is it possible that those targets are cold-blooded animals, which maintain a low temperature to avoid being detected?" Gu Ran suggested at this moment.
Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance and immediately became alert; this was entirely possible!
These snake-shaped Deadpools, being snake-shaped, are very likely to be thermoregulatory like snakes. In order to conceal their forms, they are currently maintaining a low-temperature state.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei shouted: "A sixth person has appeared on the scene! The sixth person has appeared at Tokyo Tower, right next to Senior Brother Finger."
The visitor was Sakura Yabuki, Genjiro's secretary. She had infiltrated the top of Tokyo Tower earlier than Fingel, and was less than thirty meters away from Fingel.
She hid here to eliminate the traitor Tachibana Masamune.
As retainers, they certainly couldn't let the head of the family handle everything. For minor matters like eliminating traitors, it was enough for the retainers to take care of it.
So, after discussing it, Yaksha, Crow, and Sakura decided that Sakura would hide at the top of the tower, ready to eliminate the traitor at any time.
At that very moment, Genjiro ran at an extremely fast speed to the platform 250 meters high in Tokyo Tower.
At this point, the two actors, Ohsho and Tachibana Masamune, had reached a fever pitch in their battle. In this script, Tachibana Masamune had drunk the blood of an ancient dragon, which enabled him to fight against Ohsho. The two fought like samurai during the Edo period, wielding Japanese swords.
The scene looked tragic; the swords that Tachibana Masamune brought were broken on the ground, and the two seemed to be evenly matched, with neither able to defeat the other.
Or perhaps the director designed this scene intentionally, so that the next scene would only take place after Genjiro's appearance.
Chapter 469 The Flying Deadpool
As expected, after Genji arrived, the two began to act out their plan. Tachibana Masamune joined forces with Genji to kill the King, while Sakura, who had been hiding at the top of the tower, also made her move to kill the King.
She will always stand by Genjiro's side, so their only enemy now is the King.
Tachibana Masamune gripped the King's sword, using his body to restrain him from moving. At that moment, Sakura made her move, using the Yin Flow of Words to control the thin, fine blade to launch a sneak attack on the King. Genji Chisei also cooperated, plunging the Spider Cutter into the King's heart.
The king was speechless at this moment, because his throat had been cut and blood was flowing freely.
Tachibana Masamune did not finish off the king, but instead let the king jump off the cliff. Genjiro also did not finish off the king, seemingly to show some respect. Sakura, of course, did not move either.
"How stupid, are we filming a TV series? Why give the bad guys a chance to escape instead of finishing them off?" Gu Ran appeared on the rooftop where Lu Mingfei was at this moment. Lu Mingfei heard the familiar voice and turned around to look. He saw that Gu Ran was carrying a large bag on his back. It was the kind of large bag that was used to carry blankets. It was full of stuff. He wondered what kind of prop it was.
He didn't ask, but continued to observe through the binoculars, watching Wang Jiang walk step by step toward the railing, seemingly about to jump: "Whether or not I finish him off doesn't matter anymore, he's already like this, how can he possibly survive?"
"Have you forgotten? I beheaded him with one stroke before, and he was still alive." Gu Ran took out the gun components from the bag and began to assemble them.
"Have you finished dealing with Deadpool?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No, I only cleared out one of the Deadpools at one intersection. The others escaped. I'm a bit exhausted, so I didn't chase them. I came here to snipe with you." Gu Ran replied casually, while informing his teammates of his whereabouts through the headset.
Caesar and Chu Zihang are on their way. After all, the elevators in Tokyo Tower are quite old, and the height of 250 meters is still quite far.
After a while, a sniper rifle was placed next to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei took one look and exclaimed, "Wow, an AS50 anti-materiel sniper rifle! Is it that powerful?"
The sniper rifle he was holding was a light sniper rifle. Because anti-materiel rifles are very powerful and noisy, when he fired at night, the sound could be heard clearly by residents within a two-kilometer radius.
"The biggest suicide of the century! Come and see! The king is about to jump off a building!" Fingel the paparazzi started his live broadcast, exaggerating the scene of the king's impending suicide.
His vantage point was the best; he could see everything clearly without even needing binoculars.
Caesar and Chu Zihang, who couldn't see what was happening, listened carefully, afraid of missing a single detail. However, they were very puzzled: how could such a powerful and mysterious king general die like this?
They remembered that Gu Ran had clearly killed the king with a single blow, but the king was able to revive.
Genjiro and his group didn't rush forward to finish off the king, actually because they wanted to see how the king could be resurrected. Tachibana Masamune had previously speculated to Genjiro that killing the king might allow him to immediately revive and regain his strength, so it was better to let him die slowly rather than kill him all at once.
Crows were still on guard on the ground of Tokyo Tower, not letting the king leave so easily.
"Useless senior brother, there's something behind you, be careful." Gu Ran's voice suddenly came through the earpiece.
Fingel, who was about to continue the live broadcast, froze, turned around, and immediately exclaimed, "My God, is this Kirov? Is the Soviet Red Army going to invade our Berlin again?"
In his line of sight, a huge rigid airship came crashing down on him. Rigid airships have frames and keels, making them quite sturdy, while Fingel's soft airship was just like a big balloon.
As for the Kirov, it is a Soviet combat unit in the game "Red Alert 2". It looks like an airship and can drop bombs from it.
The rigid airship collided with Finger's advertising airship, and the advertising airship began to fall downwards.
"Oh no!" Lu Mingfei was shocked. If Fingel fell to his death like this, his conscience would not allow it, because it was he who suggested that Fingel be tied to the airship.
"Damn it, no one can predict their own end." These were Fingel's last words, seemingly his dying words.
Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth. He was genuinely angry and sad. After all, he had shared so many late-night snacks with his useless senior brother, and he and Fingel had feelings for each other.
He doesn't know if Fingel is alive or dead, but he's furious.
Just then, a rigid airship suddenly appeared and flew past Tokyo Tower. Wang Jiang seized the opportunity to grab the airship's ladder from the railing and left using the airship.
Seeing that the king was about to escape, Genji realized that he had been a little careless. So he immediately ran into the elevator. When he returned, he had two submachine guns in his hands and opened fire on the king in the sky.
However, these bullets had limited lethality and could not harm the king at all, while the submachine guns had limited penetrating power and could not penetrate the airbags of the rigid airship.
But not far away, a high-speed spinning steel-core bullet pierced through the general's abdomen, causing him to shudder violently.
Immediately after, another shot was fired, this time with a sound like thunder. It was Gu Ran's anti-material sniper rifle!
He borrowed this sniper rifle from Mai Jiude during the day. The bullets inside are tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds, specifically designed to shoot tanks, and are more powerful than Lu Mingfei's steel-core bullets.
The shot hit the shoulder where the king was gripping the ladder. The rotational energy from the bullet was so great that it tore off a section of the king's arm!
The king seemed to be greatly surprised, and he began to fall to the ground!
"Good!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cheer, finally understanding why Gu Ran had brought this anti-materiel sniper rifle.
Luckily there was a sniper rifle, otherwise Wang Jiang would have escaped!
At that moment, Wang began to fall to the ground from a height of about 270 meters. If physics still existed, any non-flying animal falling from a height of 270 meters should die.
But it wasn't over yet. Some people, seemingly not believing the king would be killed by the fall, leaped out.
A black figure glided rapidly with a hang glider towards the spot where the king had fallen.
The glider was incredibly fast, and in no time it caught up with the descending King, who was dressed in colorful clothes and dressed in full regalia, all for the purpose of killing.
“Chisato.” Genjiro’s eyesight was excellent, and he recognized his younger brother at a glance.
The king wore a mask, so no one knew his expression. But the corner of the mask's mouth always had a meaningful smile. Kazama Ruri hated this mask so much that she slashed at it with her sword, and at the same time, she used her slashing blade to cut off the king's neck.
Then, with another swift stroke, he cut the king in half at the waist.
After he finished doing all this, he left without a word, taking his paraglider with him.
The king's body shattered into three pieces in the sky, each falling to the ground. The spider-cutting weapon of Genji was still stuck in his heart.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Wang Jiang should be dead this time." He looked at Gu Ran beside him, who was still aiming at the sniper rifle with an expressionless face.
"Something's happening in the tower," Gu Ran suddenly said. "Deadpool's started moving."
Lu Mingfei used the infrared telescope to look and immediately saw the thermal imaging targets. These Deadpools were cold-blooded animals. They had been motionless, so their temperature was very low and they had not been detected. Now that they were moving, their temperature was rising, and they could be seen clearly.
"Those Deadpools... they can actually... fly!" Lu Mingfei was stunned when he saw all this!
Caesar and Chu Zihang, who were in the elevator, also saw these Deadpools when they came out to change elevators.
"Sorry to bother you, goodbye!" Caesar immediately frantically pressed the button to close the elevator door. At the same time, Chu Zihang took out his Uzbek submachine gun and sprayed bullets at Deadpool outside the elevator door.
Once the elevator doors closed, the two pressed the button for the first floor, preparing to evacuate.
