Strange Cards

Chapter 345 First Murder

Shi Yu's aura was violent and terrifying, even suppressing the five headhunters of the opposing side.

Just then, a tall and imposing figure slowly walked over from behind the shadows of a nearby tree and stood behind Shigure.

The Steel Claw was no longer the polite, well-dressed creature it usually was; instead, it revealed a demonic appearance, its body covered in ferocious barbs, its imposing presence shaking even the clouds in the sky.

The steel claws were even more ferocious, their long claws even touching the ground, cutting open the ground in various ways.

"Steel claws..."

Qi Wu naturally recognized that Steel Claw had also entered battle mode and was preparing to get serious.

Even when wearing a suit, Steel Claw possesses formidable fighting power, let alone when it manifests its demonic form and unleashes all the rules it has mastered.

"I will obey the Lord's command."

Steel Claw ignored Qi Wu and knelt down on one knee behind Shi Yu.

Steel Claw knew Qi Wu, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

But if it's Shigure's order, he will not hesitate to attack even if the person standing opposite him is Qi Wu Gangzhao.

Shi Yu placed the open door on the ground and said in an icy tone.

"What? You're that keen to protect this guy?"

"It seems we really do have to fight."

"Steel Claw, make your move."

"A life-or-death situation, apart from Qi Wu and Feng Chuan."

"Kill anyone who stops you."

The blood spear in Qian Miao's hand surged, and she stomped her feet on the ground as she charged toward the steel claws.

Steel Claw roared to the sky with a terrifying howl, and a claw strike flashing with cold light reached for Qian Miao.

"etc!"

Qi Wu instantly armed the Seven of Spades, forming a massive bat wall between Qian Miao and Steel Claw.

But the steel claw's rule of annihilation was activated at this moment, and the bat wall was directly shattered into pieces by that claw strike before slamming heavily into Qian Miao's body.

Qian Miao was sent flying by the blow, her body crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

The moment after Qian Miao was knocked away, Leng Miaoling flew over and said coldly.

"Yushang! Quickly!"

"Come save them!"

Luo Yushang leaped several times to Leng Miaoling's side, and gasped when she saw Qian Miao, who had almost been torn in two by a claw.

"One hit and he's on the verge of death?"

"Even a Nightmare-level Demon King couldn't have nearly killed a Western Headhunter in one move, right?"

Although Luo Yushang said this, her hands didn't slow down at all in rescuing the person.

Shigure and Steel Claw exchanged a glance, then extended their fists and bumped them together.

Light burst forth from both the human and the ghost, and the two figures gradually merged together.

Holy crap!

"You brat! Slow down!"

"Damn it! You're practically losing your mind, and you're still playing like this?"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! I can't hold him back!"

"This kid's gone mad!"

A never expected that even with the combined power of thirteen cards, he almost couldn't stop Shigure's consciousness from falling.

As Shigure and the hunter opposite him sensed Shigure's impending attack, they realized that Shigure had no intention of playing around with them.

If you take that full hit, there's only one outcome: death.

However, the Northern Hunters, who had already lost their fighting ability, were all pressed to the ground and unable to move by Shigure's aura. In the end, it was Daifuku who moved his massive body and used it to block the crowd.

The thick bearskin blocked his way, but Qi Wu didn't notice that a petite figure snatched the Square Four from him, took the Remnant Fire Evolution Device, completed its evolution, and rushed into Shi Yu's arms.

"Brother Shigure!"

"Stop it!"

"Mom wouldn't want you to be like this!"

Shi Yu lowered her head, trembling, and looked at the petite mecha figure in her arms. Her hands trembled involuntarily.

Shigure is the creator of the Remnant Fire Mech, so he naturally knows that each mech is designed to fit the user's body.

A person who is 1.5 meters tall can never grow to 1.8 meters tall. Even if they wear a mecha, they will only grow a little taller, at most 1.55 meters.

The figure before him, identical to the three little ones, along with the Remnant Fire Mech he had created for Liu An and the words spoken by its pilot, made Shi Yu realize who the newcomer was.

"Small...."

"Xiao Jiu?"

Shigure released his aura, even dispelling the fusion state of the steel claws and the Nine Shadows.

Shigure's already dark gray hair became even closer to that deathly gray after using the Nine Shadows Combined technique again.

Seeing that Shi Yu had calmed down, Liu Yu also deactivated her Remnant Fire Mech, and her pale face, which had been strained by the pressure, instantly regained its smile.

"You haven't joined the Hunters yet."

"How...did you transform?"

Liu Yu pulled the identity card out of the residual fire purifier, and Shi Yu's hand froze instantly when he saw the identity card.

"Bai Yu's card?"

"She came too?"

Liu Yu shook her head.

"This was lent to me by Sister Baiyu."

"I flew all the way here using my sister's fully charged Remnant Fire Mech. When I ran out of energy, I snatched Mom's Square Four from Uncle Wu's hands to complete the transformation again."

As she spoke, Liu Yu hugged Shi Yu's waist and pressed her body against Shi Yu's.

"Brother Shiyu, let's go home."

"My sister and Miaomiao are waiting for you to come home, and I'm waiting for you to come home too."

"The food you cook tastes very, very similar to the food your mother cooks."

"I want to eat your cooking."

Shi Yu was stunned when she heard this, and then hugged Liu Yu tightly.

"good..."

"I'll cook for you..."

"I'll cook for you."

Everyone thought that the matter was finally over, seeing Shi Yu holding Liu Yu. Little did they know that a figure holding a longbow was standing on a treetop not far away.

The figure held a specially made high-temperature arrow in its hand, the arrow already nocked on the bow, which was fully drawn.

"Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound rang out as the arrow pierced the air and plunged deep into Fang Tian's head.

A mixture of red and white liquid flowed from the wound on Fang Tian's head. Before anyone knew what had happened, Fang Tian was shot and killed by the arrow.

The high-temperature arrow instantly released terrifying heat, directly vaporizing Fang Tian's corpse.

However, the heat did not dissipate; after vaporizing Fang Tian's body, the heat vanished instantly.

At this moment, Yu Yan jumped down from the tree and put the bow back on her back.

"Shigure".

"There's no need to say too much when killing someone; just get to the point."

"This is what Sister Liu An taught me."

"Remember to bring Xiao Jiu back with you."

After Yu Yan finished speaking, she walked away into the distance. Qi Wu watched Yu Yan walk away, never expecting that this girl who never killed anyone would actually kill someone for the first time today.

Yu Yan's first murder was to avenge Liu An.
