In This Life, I Only Wish to Protect One Person

The moment the two superhumans made contact, ordinary America soldiers were instantly killed by the shockwave of the battle.

There weren't many ordinary soldiers; the majority of those present were superhumans.

After engaging in hand-to-hand combat, the America commander directed the superhumans from the rear to besiege Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke.

The battle is currently at a stalemate.

The America States and Europe possess the most advanced weaponry, with their superhumans armed to the teeth.

The Dahua Special Forces were all elite, while the Japanese superhumans also had the home-field advantage. Only by combining their strengths could they avoid defeat due to the enemy's superior equipment.

After more than two minutes of intense fighting footage, the screen showed Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke.

Li Shuhong, wielding a large spear, moved with the ease of thrusting and sweeping attacks as if he were in an empty field.

Ikeda Ichinosuke sword moved with such elegance that no one could rival him.

With the two men at the tip of their blades, the Japan- led coalition forces of Great Hua advanced rapidly and gained the upper hand.

However, the reversal of the battlefield can happen in an instant.

The America commander appeared to be retreating step by step, but in reality, he was luring the enemy deeper into his territory. Once he had retreated sufficiently, he saw that the enemy's battle line had stretched out, so he gestured with his hand.

His gaze was fixed on the precious Magic Alchemy tank.

Because they were incredibly hard, even Ikeda Ichinosuke and his side were unable to destroy them, and could only kill the people inside.

At that moment, the precious tank exploded!

The Dahua Special Forces rushed to the front and were not hit, but many Japanese superhumans who were providing long-range support from the rear were hit.

Countless people died or were injured.

The local Japanese fighters, unlike the Dahua Special Forces, were not well-trained, and their morale plummeted.

The America commander sensed an opportunity and personally led his men in a counterattack, committing the entire army to the offensive.

The tide of battle has turned.

The commander ordered his men to do everything in their power to hold off the allied forces, while he himself dispatched his best warriors to attack Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke.

At this point, all strategies have been exhausted, leaving only the most primal form of combat.

This nameless, snow-covered land was transformed into a battlefield of blood and flesh.

Superhumans are just like ordinary people; when they die, they are nothing more than a lump of rotten flesh.

There wasn't much gory or bloody stuff on the battlefield; this was Morning Drama, something to watch in the morning.

The scene is clean overall. There are corpses on the ground, but they are in a very neat and orderly manner, with not much blood. It only slightly recreates a corner of the battlefield.

The focus of this scene is on the battle between Li Shuhong, Ikeda Ichinosuke, and others.

Adno, who plays the America commander, wears a magnificent knight's armor and wields a greatsword that gleams with white light, exuding an extraordinary aura.

The extraordinary individuals surrounding him were also strikingly dressed, making it look like something out of a blockbuster movie.

Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke were under attack, were not wearing armor, but they had Talisman on them, Talisman were emitting golden light to block the attacks.

This is a mysterious power from the East.

This battle was so intense that it captivated all the viewers; the oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

The battle was clearly led by Li Shuhong with Ikeda Ichinosuke, and there was a certain gap in their strength.

Both of them were very capable, but the America and the Europe knew that Li Shuhong was there and had made thorough preparations.

They possessed powerful Magic scrolls, and their weapons were coated with poison.

Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke are at a disadvantage.

Continuing like this will inevitably lead to defeat.

At this moment, the camera gave Ikeda Ichinosuke a close-up.

He gave Li Shuhong a deep look, and then suddenly erupted.

Ignoring the enemy's attacks, Ikeda Ichinosuke unleashed a flurry of slashes with his icy blue longsword.

He abandoned his usual elegance and transformed into a ruthless and savage killer.

Blood for blood!

Life for life!

Ikeda Ichinosuke multiple injuries all over his body, causing him to bleed profusely and explode with excessive energy.

At that moment, the energy emanating from his body suddenly... turned blood red!

He used his life force as fuel to unleash the most terrifying destructive power.

The camera slowed down when Ikeda Ichinosuke.

Everything went into slow motion.

Li Shuhong was caught off guard by Ikeda Ichinosuke decision. His eyes widened as he roared at Ikeda Ichinosuke.

Fear was evident on the faces of the America.

In slow motion, only Ikeda Ichinosuke possesses extreme speed.

He moved.

In an instant, swords flashed wildly.

Time quickly returned to normal.

All the besieging enemies, except for their commander, were bleeding profusely.

They were all slaughtered by Ikeda Ichinosuke in a single second!

But the price was... Ikeda Ichinosuke's eyes were stained with deathly aura.

The burning of life force can no longer be stopped!

The commander remained expressionless, and also unleashed his full power, which turned blood red.

Burn with life!

Two figures burning with life collided, and in the fierce and bloody battle, the commander was finally outmaneuvered by Ikeda Ichinosuke, who possessed Natural Martial Bone, and stabbed into the heart.

The battlefield fell silent instantly.

The next second.

The commander's fingers twitched slightly, but Ikeda Ichinosuke was faster; he drew First Snow and beheaded him with a backhand strike.

Most of the remaining enemies fled in panic, while a few continued to attack with bloodshot eyes, but were quickly killed.

We won.

The Dahua Special Forces and the Japanese experts were about to cheer.

But they immediately saw Ikeda Ichinosuke use his sword to strike the ground, and a large mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, forming a pool of blood on the ground.

Seeing this horrific scene, and noticing that only a few dozen of them remained on their side, they realized they had been reduced to a single person.

This victory was... utterly tasteless.

A Pyrrhic victory.

Section 163, Chapter 148: My only wish in this life is to protect one person.

"Ichinosuke."

Li Shuhong walked over, gripping his spear tightly.

Amidst the wind and snow, Li Shuhong and Ikeda Ichinosuke stood facing each other.

Li Shuhong's expression shifted several times before he finally whispered, "Thank you, we've won."

Ikeda Ichinosuke nodded silently.

His eyes have lost their luster; he is blind.

Actually, one ear is also deaf.

But none of that matters anymore.

Because he was dying.

It's not just about burning one's life.

He also suffered many injuries, including a stab wound to the abdomen from Holy Knight's greatsword.

Although the external injury was healed with qi, it only healed the surface; the internal condition was already a complete mess.

Even though he was seriously injured, Ikeda Ichinosuke's expression remained unchanged.

Still so cold-hearted.

It seemed as if he didn't care about life or death.

Li Shuhong's eyes widened, and he forced a cheerful tone, saying, "You really surprised me. You're not that kind of person, sacrificing yourself for everyone. Are you trying to become a hero?"

Ikeda Ichinosuke used the First Snow to steady himself, his lifeless eyes fixed on Li Shuhong: "I never intended to be a hero. I did this simply because if I didn't stop them, Miss wouldn't be able to get to Tokyo safely, that's all."

"Is that so? But..." Li Shuhong finally couldn't laugh anymore.

He stared at Ikeda Ichinosuke, finally unable to hold back, and asked, "I don't believe you didn't realize that I wanted to do the same thing back then."

Ikeda Ichinosuke was silent for a moment, then said, "You once asked me, didn't you? What are your views on war? What are your views on the country?"

"Yes."

Li Shuhong still remembers Ikeda Ichinosuke then.

Ikeda Ichinosuke said, "I still hate this country, but war... I thought I would continue to like it."

(War is where the value of a warrior lies.)

This is how Ikeda Ichinosuke answered Li Shuhong at the time.

But now he has changed his mind:

"I now find your answer more interesting."

Ikeda Ichinosuke still remembers Li Shuhong's answer.

Amidst the wind and snow, he softly repeated, "The meaning of strength lies in protection."

This is the philosophy of the Great Wall Special Operations Team, and also... the lifelong philosophy of Li Shuhong's master, the "Martial God".

In just a few words, Ikeda Ichinosuke's skin had lost its luster, and his complexion had turned ashen.

He straightened his back with all his might, then shook the blood off the knife, First Snow the blade to be as clean and new as ever.

He sheathed his sword and casually said to Li Shuhong, "I'd like to join you, is that alright?"

"Can."

Li Shuhong replied without hesitation, "Our ideals are not limited to any one country."

"The Great Wall exists in the heart of every person."

Ikeda Ichinosuke smiled, a rare occurrence for him. "But I don't have such grand ideals as you. I just want to be one person's Great Wall. To protect only one person in this life, is that alright?"

Li Shuhong laughed heartily, "It's alright, as long as there's something you want to protect, you're our comrade!"

Even the magnificent Great Wall was built brick by brick.

"You may only wish to protect one person in your entire life, but that person is your whole world... Isn't that enough? The weight of life is not determined by the number of people you have!"

After Li Shuhong finished speaking, his gaze was sincere yet tinged with sadness as he extended his hand to Ikeda Ichinosuke.

"Welcome, Ikeda Ichinosuke. Our comrade-in-arms in the Far East!"

"..."

Ikeda Ichinosuke's hand trembled, but he still gripped it firmly.
