Yagyu Shizune's Scheme

About two hundred meters away from Wu Qiqi and Kanu, there is a grove of trees.

In the shadows, a woman stood quietly.

She was dressed in a black warrior's outfit, the fabric of which looked very tough, as if it were woven from the fine silk of Dark Elf.

Every stitch and every thread exudes an air of mystery.

The woman carried a Longsword on her back. The gems inlaid on the hilt shimmered faintly in the dim light, and the patterns on the scabbard were ancient and profound, as if telling countless untold stories.

Yagyu Shizune's eyes gleamed with a cold light, like icy stars, as she stared intently at the fight between Wu Qiqi and the King Cobra.

The fight was incredibly intense; every attack was accompanied by a whistling sound, and every collision seemed to make the earth tremble.

Wu Qiqi was agile and her moves were fierce, each move containing great power. The King Cobra was not to be outdone. Its huge body twisted nimbly, its fangs gleaming with a chilling light. Wherever its venom splashed, the grass and trees withered instantly.

The woman was astonished by the fierce battle; she had rarely witnessed such a thrilling fight.

In particular, both Wu Qiqi and Kanu are Talent Awakened.

One gave birth to vines that resembled pythons, while the other tamed a King Cobra.

But amidst her surprise, a feeling of excitement quietly spread through her heart.

The woman's lips curled up slightly, forming a barely perceptible arc, and her eyes gleamed with greed.

She waited patiently, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment.

She plans to wait until Wu Qiqi and King Cobra are both severely weakened, until they have exhausted all their strength, and then she will make a dazzling appearance to seize this huge advantage and easily claim the fruits of victory.

Now!

Yagyu Shizune's sharp gaze was fixed on Wu Qiqi.

At this moment, Wu Qiqi's face had become extremely pale, and her lips were turning bluish-purple, clearly showing symptoms of poisoning.

Her body began to shake violently and uncontrollably, like a withered leaf in a storm, each swaying motion so difficult, teetering on the verge of collapse, as if she would fall heavily to the ground at any moment.

Even the once ferocious King Cobra seemed to have lost its former power.

Its once powerful and deadly body now lay limp and listless on the ground.

The snake's tongue flicked out occasionally, but weakly. Its eyes, which had previously gleamed with a cold and ferocious light, had become dull and lifeless, as if life was slowly slipping away from its body.

Looking at the owner who controls the King Cobra, that Country A Kanu named Kanu, his situation is also not optimistic.

His face was as white as a sheet of paper, completely bloodless, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto the ground.

His body trembled slightly, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle. He was exhausted and looked extremely haggard. His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, yet he was also smug.

With a sudden burst of energy, Yagyu Shizune moved like a ghost, creating a gust of wind as she rushed towards Kanu and Wu Qiqi.

Wu Qiqi's face was extremely pale from the poison's attack. She forced herself to stand up and hurriedly took out a black Detox Pill from her Storage Bag and swallowed it in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, she exerted all her strength to circulate her internal energy, attempting to neutralize the raging toxins within her body.

As the technique circulated, she felt her mind clear a little, but at the same time, the toxins were like countless sharp needles, piercing deep into her limbs and bones, making her feel as if all her strength had been drained, and even raising her arm became extremely difficult, let alone continuing to fight.

Kanu gradually regained some strength, and a ferocious smile appeared on his filthy face, his eyes gleaming with greed and smugness.

"Classmate."

The sound was hoarse and grating, like sandpaper rubbing against a rough wall.

"Don't struggle in vain. You've already been poisoned by my potent poison, and you're powerless, like a fish on a chopping board, completely at my mercy. You're already a plaything in my hands."

I can do whatever I want to you.

Kanu's gaze roamed freely over Wu Qiqi's body, his eyes filled with nauseating desire.

"However, considering you're a girl, and a pretty one at that, I don't want to make things too difficult for you."

"As long as you obediently hand over your points, those points can be considered your life-saving money."

"Otherwise..."

"Hehehe, my Little Gold can get angry!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Little Gold King Cobra beside him seemed to sense its master's intention, flicking its tongue and hissing.

The enormous body slowly rose to its feet, its gaping maw wide open, revealing sharp, venomous fangs that gleamed with a chilling light.

It looked as if Wu Qiqi was about to pounce on her and bite her again if she didn't obey.

Wu Qiqi bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with anger and resentment, yet she was helpless.

Hahaha! You two, how have you been?

A chilling laugh suddenly rang out, carrying a distinct hint of disdain and mockery, like an icy arrow that struck Wu Qiqi and Kanu directly into their ears.

Both of them looked astonished; they never expected that there would be a third person present.

Turning their heads to look in the direction of the sound, they saw a woman standing proudly on a rock about twenty meters away from them.

She was tall and slender, with a graceful figure, dressed in a black samurai outfit, exuding a fierce aura.

The woman's attire, from her unique clothing style to the samurai sword at her waist, clearly identified her as a member of the Sakura Country team.

A flicker of panic flashed involuntarily in Kanu's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner turmoil, but his voice still trembled slightly.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

He paused, then, as if to bolster his courage, raised his voice and roared, "I'm warning you, don't get too close, or don't blame me for attacking you!"

Upon hearing this, Yagyu Shizune merely glanced at him disdainfully, her eyes filled with contempt.

She spoke coldly, her voice like frost in a cold night.

"You? Hmph, besides controlling a worm, all you're good for is empty talk."

"If you dare utter another word, I'll cut you down with one sword."

After saying that, she shifted her gaze from Kanu and turned to look at Wu Qiqi, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"I know you. You're Wu Qiqi from the China team."

Yagyu Shizune said slowly, "As the saying goes, the winner is king, the loser is an outlaw. Now that you have been defeated by this Country A, it is both reasonable and morally right that you must hand over your points."

"But..."

She abruptly changed the subject, a sly glint in her eyes.

"You have another path to take."

"I can help you defeat this man, even cripple him. But in exchange, your points will belong to me, how about it?"
