Strange Cards

Chapter 205 Coward

While the people in the south were happily playing in the courtyard, things were not so easy for Ghost Asura.

The four people who brought Ghost Asura out were using their contracted ghosts to help Ghost Asura hunt ghosts to restore his strength, while Ghost Asura was playing chess with a person wearing a bamboo hat whose face was hidden in the shadows.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"I have to do this."

The man in the straw hat placed a piece on the board and said in a calm tone.

"They betrayed me, and they must pay the price."

"The Demon-Human Fusion Research Association is an inevitable trend; it is biological evolution, a path that must be taken."

Ghost Asura glanced at the man in the straw hat and said indifferently.

"I have no interest in your grudges, and helping you deal with the hunter is just a wish of mine."

"Asuras are born to kill and die to kill. Every Asura is destined to be a lone wolf and someone who has touched a taboo."

"I escaped with you only so that I could wait until I regain my full strength to meet the current Hunter and then meet that Asura from the modern era."

"The reason I was imprisoned there was that the battle back then affected too many innocent civilians. Even if the hunter who became a demon by killing me had not defeated me, I would have chosen to commit suicide and be punished in the Ghost Prison after proving myself."

"Everyone has their own perspective on right and wrong, but some things are truly wrong when done wrong."

After placing his last piece and declaring victory, Ghost Asura stood up.

"I don't know what your name is, but this title really suits you perfectly."

"Scaramucci..."

"But you're not arrogant; you're just a coward."

After saying that, Ghost Shura left. After Ghost Shura left, Scaramucci suddenly overturned the chessboard and slammed his fist on the table.

"Just you wait, you dead man."

"After I seize your power and become an Asura..."

"I will become a god."

At this moment, Ye Ming, one of the four, stepped out from the shadows and knelt on one knee in front of Scaramucci.

"My lord, shall we continue the mission?"

"continue."

"Let the Demon Asura return to its peak, and then, while these hunters have just completed the opening of the Gate of Hell and haven't recovered much strength, we'll attack. I want to combine the power of two generations of Asuras, along with the entire population of Kyoto, to become gods."

"Only Asuras in the human realm are qualified to touch the Six Paths of Reincarnation; only I have seized their power..."

"Only then is it possible to save her from hell."

……

In the afternoon, Shigure, dressed in a white casual outfit, gave up on the idea of ​​finding some fun and followed the hunters to a huge private stadium.

The stadium had been sealed off long ago. When Shi Yu went inside, she found that in addition to the people from the other three bases, Feng Chuan was also sitting in the spectator seats with several elderly people.

Just as Shi Yu found a place to sit down and was about to take a nap, Yu Yan suddenly came over with a red challenge letter and handed it to Shi Yu.

"Wake up, Shigure, the big one is coming."

"Leng Miaoling, the headhunter from the East, who is known as the 'Heaven-Breaking', has issued a challenge to you."

Upon hearing the words "Eastern Headhunter," Shi Yu's drowsy eyes snapped open, and she looked at Leng Miaoling not far away.

At this moment, Leng Miaoling was wearing a tight-fitting black cheongsam and holding a long, jet-black spear in her hand, coldly staring at Shi Yu.

"Has this woman taken the wrong medicine?"

"I'm just an unknown hunter in the southern base. As for headhunters challenging me? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"

The headhunters all had excellent hearing. Except for Leng Miaoling, who still had a cold face, the other three hunters spat out the tea they had just drunk. Qian Miao, in particular, had crushed the ceramic teacup in her hand.

After comforting herself for a while, Qian Miao said that she could take down a nightmare-level enemy even when she was in a desperate state, and even the top hunter had to dodge her attacks when she was in a desperate state.

Then, Zheng Shui's words from the Western base completely shattered the gloom that had set their hearts on the ground.

"Boss, don't forget how long Shiyu has been with the Hunters? How old is he now?"

"Boss, if I remember correctly, you took over the position of headhunter in the West at the age of twenty-four, and now you are twenty-eight."

"Back then, you were the youngest headhunter. Even Qi Wu, who was considered a genius at the time, only took over the position of headhunter in the south at the age of twenty-five."

"Shigure has only been with the Hunters for three months, and he's only eighteen. Doesn't that comparison immediately create a huge gap between them?"

Qian Miao turned around and said with a kind expression.

"When I get back, I'm going to poison you so you won't spout this nonsense again."

Qi Wu calmly brewed a cup of fresh tea and said lightly.

"Have you forgotten? Last time when Luo Yushang came to deliver something to us, she happened to run into you going berserk. Just as she finished evolving and was about to stop you, you grabbed her without saying a word, went all out, and kicked her, causing her to revert to her transformation."

"Given Leng Miaoling's cold and aloof nature, she probably already knows about how you bullied Yan Jingya during our mission to the imperial tomb. Now it's time to settle both old and new scores."

"Forget it, it's all debt anyway, I'll just go."

As Shi Yu spoke, she opened the black hole, took out her cloak, and put it on.

Just as Shiyu was about to leave the arena, she realized that she didn't have anything handy, and she didn't really want to use her weapon, so she reached out her hand to Yuyan.

"Yu Yan, lend me your bow to play with."

Yu Yan was puzzled, but she still took the bow out of her body and handed it to Shi Yu.

"What do you need this thing for? Are you out of weapons?"

"I don't have any suitable weapons, and I don't want to use a sickle or anything like that, so I'm asking to borrow one from you to play with."

As she spoke, Shiyu jumped down, and Yuyan, seeing this, quickly took the quiver off her body.

"You idiot, you're only carrying a bow and no arrows? Are you trying to kill someone with my bow?"

Shigure reluctantly raised his hand, used his reconstruction ability to conjure a sword arrow, and shot it into the center of the stadium.

The arrow exploded in mid-air, instantly creating a large and beautiful display of fireworks.

Dafu, acting as the referee, stood between the two.

"Please prepare yourselves."

Leng Miaoling looked at the bow in Shi Yu's hand, and her already cold face turned completely cold. Her tone was icy, as if she wanted to keep people at arm's length.

"You look down on me that much?"

"You don't use your own weapons, not even the power of Shura, and you think you can defeat me with this broken bow? Do you think my reputation as the 'Heaven-Breaking Warrior' is something I picked up off the street?"

"I'm sorry."

"The bow is the weapon I'm least proficient with; it's the only one I can use against you."

"As for whether I look down on it or not, it's because I don't want to use any of my own weapons right now; it's too much trouble."
