Chapter 367 Russell: Thank you for the gift of nature

At this time, Hu Jiu was completely desperate and was trying every possible means. He knew that if even he couldn't resist the opponent, his subordinates would naturally have no way to deal with it.

But does he have any other options?
He didn't want to die, that's all.

Hu Jiu rolled and crawled backwards, while his men stood in front of Russell with fear on their faces.

Most of the demons realized that they would probably not have a good ending today. After all, their masters had become like this, and their actions at this moment were no different from an egg hitting a stone.

"you!"

Just as they were about to utter a threat, they were suddenly cut in half by a slash.

The demon who survived in the rear looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

In response, Russell simply walked past them with his cards and casually said, "Get out of the way."

He didn't have time to waste here, and he didn't know the specific situation in the Ming Dynasty.

He hadn't received any messages since his teacher sent two messages.

At this time, Hu Jiu had already escaped very far, but unfortunately, the injured big fox was obviously not as fast as Russell.

After a few breaths, he felt the creepy breath of death behind him again.

"I can't die yet"

Thinking this in his heart, Hu Jiu immediately prepared to turn around and beg Russell for mercy.

Unfortunately, when he opened his ferocious mouth, he found that he could not say anything.

It’s not that I don’t know what to say, but
"Zero!?"

Hu Jiu was stunned and called out the name of the other soul in his body in his heart.

He could clearly feel that he had lost control of his body again.

Zero, who had never spoken since he saw through the illusion that he had never escaped, said calmly, "It's useless to beg for mercy."

"I'll give it a try."

But having said that, he was not prepared to discuss it with Hu Jiu.

After all, Zero had already set the mission objectives when he appeared, and he said this now just to prevent Fox Jiu from dragging him down.

After all, the big fox is still the original owner of this body. Even if Zero burns everything he has to regain control, it will be difficult for him to control the other party if the other party does not cooperate.

But Hu Jiu was now thinking about begging for mercy, so of course he would not listen to Zero: "Hurry up and give my body back to me, Zero!"

Seeing that the fox was completely unable to communicate, Zero chose to block out his voice.

Sensing a change in the other person's aura, Russell tilted his head slightly: "Another change of person?"

Then, he signaled with his eyes to Aizen and others to go up and deal with the other party.

Struggling to resist the attacks coming from all directions, Zero said without any fluctuation in his tone: "Mission, delay."

"Illusion, it doesn't matter."

In fact, until now, Zero has not been able to confirm whether he is still in Aizen's mirage. Everything that happened before has made him somewhat doubt himself.

But these are no longer important to him.

The important thing is that as long as he is still in the battle, it means Russell is still on the scene, and what he has to do is to delay as much time as possible.

This is also the reason why he let Fox Jiu escape to his nest at the beginning.

Of course Russell understood what Zero meant, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious. It would be better to deal with the other party as soon as possible and then return to Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Ichigo Kurosaki's Moonless state was almost over. Since he had not fought much before, this time it lasted particularly long.

When the slash that dyed the secret realm black and white appeared, only the last tail was left of the body of Fox Nine controlled by Zero.

I have to say that the fox demon's vitality is indeed tenacious. If it were Thepest, it would have died long ago.

But think about it from another angle. If Thepest were here, he wouldn't necessarily be so seriously hurt by Aizen's Mirror Flower and Water Moon.

On the other side, the voice in Zero's heart had changed from cursing to begging.

Hu Jiu was really scared. He now hated himself for getting involved in the battle between City in City and the Ming Dynasty. If he had known this would happen, he would rather continue to stay here and be a local emperor.

But even so, Zero still fought with all the cards regardless.

Realizing that words alone would not be enough to stop the experiment subject, Hu Jiu became ruthless and used all his strength to fight with the other party for control of the body.

As mentioned earlier, although Zero can control this body now, he will have a hard time if the original owner, Fox Jiu, does not cooperate.

Not to mention that the big fox is now determined to take back control.

As the fight became more intense, Russell and his cards discovered that the besieged fox's movements would occasionally change.

It was also for this reason that Hu Jiu's body was covered with several new scars in a short period of time.

As if realizing that he was powerless to save the situation, Zero sighed in his heart and then gave up resisting, allowing Fox Jiu to regain his body.

The big fox couldn't help showing an expression of ecstasy on his face, and he opened his mouth and wanted to shout: "Release!"

Before he could finish his words, several slashes had already swept across his body.

Because he had just regained his body, Hu Jiu was completely defenseless against these attacks.

He looked down at the huge blood line appearing on his body, and a look of disbelief appeared on the ferocious fox face: "What."

boom--

The huge body of the demon fox collapsed with a loud bang, splashing up smoke all over the sky.

Hu Jiu is dead. This fox spirit who had lived for who knows how many years died because of her desire for life.

At this moment, a somewhat blurry figure slowly appeared on the lifeless fox's head, looked down at the huge pupil without any luster, and murmured in a low voice: "Stupid fox!"

Otherwise, his creators have always said behind his back that Hu Jiu is a stupid fox, and now it seems to be true.

Zero stared at the dead Fox for a while, then looked up at Russell who was on guard against him in the distance: "Now, or, illusion?"

In response to his question, Russell just stared at him coldly, without moving or speaking.

Seeing this, Zero's blurry silhouette began to flicker.

But he didn't say another word until he turned into a wisp of light and disappeared into the air.

In the end, only a meaningless syllable drifted away in the wind.

"Ah"

Man-made products eventually leave this real world with doubts about the world.

Seeing this scene, Russell couldn't help but feel relieved.

Without paying much of a price, he successfully killed Hu Jiu, which meant that he could return to Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

As for Goryeo and this small country
Let’s wait until the Ming Dynasty’s affairs are over.

Russell came to Fox Jiu's body and bent down to pick up the master-level material [Disaster Fox] (red) dropped by the other party.

"In this case, Naruto's materials have been collected."

"Just wait until I break through to the master level."

At present, the three materials needed to make Naruto are all here with Russell. It's a pity that no miracle of breakthrough happened on the spot, otherwise he could have completed the making of Naruto and then returned to Ming Dynasty.

Just as Russell was about to set off back to Shanghai, an extremely familiar feeling of throbbing surged into his heart.

He suddenly stopped and looked behind him in surprise: "No way"

Russell never thought that he would find the last piece of the puzzle here.

This coincidence made him think more.

Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but so many times, it couldn't still be a coincidence. At this moment, a whisper loomed in his ear.

"Go ahead, you will know all the answers in the end."

Catching this sound, the expression on Russell's face began to become solemn.

He has always hated the Riddler, but fortunately, it seems that the day when he will know the truth will not be too far away.

And now all he has to do is accept the gift?

Then return to Ming to resolve the current crisis.

Thinking of this, Russell raised his foot and walked towards the inexplicable familiarity.

Shanghai city.

The originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds formed a huge vortex with roaring thunder moving through it.

The surging waves kept hitting the rocks on the coast, making waves.

Bai Yueming frowned as he looked at the apocalyptic scene in front of him, and whispered to his assistant, "Notify the surrounding cities to evacuate."

“Also, put all cities across the country under martial law.”

The old man had lived for so long that he certainly understood that the scene before him could not be caused by simple meteorological reasons.

There is no doubt that the one who caused all this was his old rival Jinping.

"Sure enough, Gaoli's affairs are related to that old man."

Bai Yueming sighed in his heart. Fortunately, Shanghai had been abandoned because of the previous incident, so now he didn't have to think about evacuating the people.

Not long after, Ji Weirui appeared beside him: "Master Bai, what's the situation?"

Bai Yueming was not surprised by her appearance. After all, now that the demon army was gone, the original combat power of the Northern Defense Army was basically released.

The situation is actually much better than before.

If nothing had gone wrong in Goryeo.

"I have sent a message to Xiao Luo and the others, but there has been no response yet."

As he said this, a hint of worry appeared between Bai Yueming's eyebrows.

Hearing this, Ji Weirui pursed his lips and whispered, "Ye Diantang's health is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her words, but the old man knew what the woman wanted to say.

It’s just that if today’s battle with Jinping and the others is really the final one, then Ye Zhou might be making his last move.

".Didn't the Ming Dynasty get through all the difficulties before? Don't worry too much, Xiao Ji."

After simply comforting Ji Weirui, Bai Yueming silently looked at the two secret realms in the distance where demons were constantly pouring out.

Meanwhile, on the rough sea.
Jinping looked coldly at the city of Shanghai, where many card makers were stationed, and murmured angrily, "If the monster army hadn't killed so many idiots so quickly, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't have had so many troops guarding here."

After calming down briefly, he turned his head and looked at the two master demons beside him: "I have done what I promised you."

"Don't forget your promise."

The two demons looked at each other, then grinned and said, "Of course, we will always remember President Jin's help."

"But it's almost time, should we start now?"

Hearing this, Jin Ping lowered his head and looked at the communication device in his hand. After confirming that the Korean side was almost ready, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, the restless army of demons on the sea rushed towards Shanghai one after another.

However, a group of master-level fighters led by Jinping remained motionless.

In response, Marcus asked in confusion, "Are we not going up?"

"I am so hungry."

As he spoke, he stroked his belly.

Facing the black man's question, Jinping said with a puzzled look: "Marcus, we mean that we can start, not what you think."

"?"

Marcus was stunned and subconsciously wanted to say something.

But the next moment, the sudden chains interrupted the words he was about to say.

"Originally, there was no need to do this." Jin Ping sighed and said with some regret, "If you want to blame someone, blame Daming for reacting too quickly."

At this moment, no matter how stupid the black man was, he had already realized that the people in front of him might want to harm him.

He immediately began to struggle.

Like Fang Wenlong, Marcus is also a card maker who specializes in close combat, so as his movements become more and more intense, the noise he causes also becomes louder and louder.

However, along with the creaking sound of friction, the chains wrapped around him became tighter and tighter.

At this moment, the contract that appeared on Jinping's right hand began to burn slowly: "Luckily I kept a backup plan, otherwise I'm afraid everything would be over."

Seeing this, Marcus stopped and seemed to have given up struggling.

Jinping didn't care about this.

Just when the contract was about to burn out, Marcus, who had been motionless, suddenly laughed. Against his dark face, his white teeth flashed with a hint of coldness: "President Jin"

"Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Looking at the strange smile on the black man's face, combined with his meaningful words, Jin Ping suddenly felt something was wrong.

But before he could even ask back, the chains that originally bound Marcus began to break.

Pulling off the broken iron chain, the black man stretched his body wantonly, then looked at Jin Ping and licked his lips: "Your contract."

"It was delicious."

As he finished speaking, Jin Ping's face turned pale, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood: "How is this possible!?"

The old man's contract backfired, and the person who paid the price changed from Marcus to himself.

At this moment, all the masters present were watching this scene coldly, wanting to see what decision Jinping would make next.

To them, it didn't matter whether Marcus or Jinping paid the price.

As long as the third secret realm can be successfully reached, it will be fine.

"President Jin, your contract should still be able to continue, right?"

"So, are you going to be my enemy, or..."

Having said that, Marcus looked at Jinping meaningfully.

Hearing this, Jin Ping glanced at the three skinners, then looked at Marcus with a ferocious expression: "Good, very good."

"You put on a good show."

The situation once again went beyond the old man's control. Last time it was Russell, this time it was Marcus.

The two backstabs made him look like a clown.

But at this point, does he have any choice?

Jin Ping forced himself to suppress the resentment in his eyes, and contracts began to spontaneously combust around him.

At the same time, whether in Australia or Europe, members of the fallen sect who had joined Jinping's army died suddenly with blood gushing out of all their orifices.

There is no doubt that these card makers who signed the Kingpin Contract became scapegoats for the old man.

Seeing this, Marcus relaxed his body, which was ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, and said with a grin:
"It seems that President Jin made the right choice."
