"General Piszczek, I'm here to lend you a hand," Shinji Kagawa laughed, took a step forward, and was in the middle of the battle in the next instant.
The sword strikes are like a rainbow!
The arrival of Prince Shinji Kagawa helped Piszczek, who was on the verge of collapse, turn the tide.
The two engaged in a fierce battle with a single One Sword strike. Their coordination as ruler and subject was quite good. As their swords clashed, Shinji Kagawa gradually displayed a side even more frenzied than Piszczek, shouting and fighting like a mad lion. He turned the tide of the battle, which had initially been one-sided, back into a 50/50 contest.
Sun Fei clearly saw that the situation was gradually becoming unfavorable for [ One Sword ].
Although [ One Sword ] temporarily reached the level of Great Sun-Rank Venerable by relying on the demonic power left behind by the Golden Skeleton and burning his own life and soul power, it was not power truly cultivated and was not yet refined. That's why he was able to be brought back to a draw by Piszczek and Shinji Kagawa, two Half-Step Great Sun-Rank Venerable powerhouses. Otherwise...
If things continue like this, [ One Sword ]'s time is running out, and he will be defeated sooner or later.
Just as Sun Fei was considering whether to lend a hand, the battle situation on the Black Warship changed once again—
Piszczek's One Sword light surged, and suddenly he slashed vertically with the force of splitting a mountain, aiming at [ One Sword ]'s forehead from behind. This One Sword strike was full of momentum and left no room for retreat, trying to force [ One Sword One Sword, who had already cornered Shinji Kagawa, to turn around and withdraw his sword to defend.
On the other side, Shinji Kagawa had already ignored [ One Sword's] attack and, based on his excellent teamwork with Piszczek, began preparing a counterattack...
But then, an unexpected change occurred—
[ One Sword ] suddenly burst into wild laughter, merely tilting his head slightly to avoid Piszczek's terrifying One Sword. His longsword's momentum surged, its trajectory unchanged, and in One Sword split second, it pierced the unsuspecting Shinji Kagawa's left chest, right up to his heart. The rusty sword sank into Shinji Kagawa's heart, hilt and all the way in...
"You..." Shinji Kagawa's smile froze as he stared at the rusty sword dripping with blood on his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Pfft!
Blood spurted out.
Piszczek swung his One Sword, severing [ One Sword ] his left arm, and nearly ripped half of his body open.
But it was still to no avail.
This fierce general could only watch helplessly as the imperial prince was pierced through the left chest and heart by One Sword, instantly losing all his life force. He felt his mind go blank, as if the sky had collapsed. Who could have imagined that this lowly native would be so fierce and ruthless, even if he himself was almost cleaved in two, he would still kill Shinji Kagawa...
"No..." Piszczek roared in anger.
But the next second, his roar suddenly stopped.
Looking down, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
A rusty iron sword was also stuck in his abdomen.
Suddenly, [ One Sword ] had pulled the longsword from Shinji Kagawa's body. He flipped One Sword Peak and plunged it into his own chest. The sword tip emerged from his body, like a skewer of candied hawthorns, and pierced into the abdomen of the burly Piszczek, with a dripping bloody tip protruding from his lower back.
A fight to the death, resulting in mutual destruction!
"Damn natives, die!"
Piszczek was shocked and furious. He struck [ One Sword ] on the back with a palm. The immense force sent [ One Sword ] flying, crashing heavily into the mainmast, which was three or four meters in diameter, in the distance. Blood gushed out, and he was clearly on the verge of death.
Despite his severe injuries, Piszczek appeared even more ferocious. He rushed over and embraced Shinji Kagawa, pulling bottles of healing potions from his storage space. He cried out in panic, "Your Highness, how are you? Your Highness, hold on, you must hold on..."
"Heh heh... so that's how it is..." Shinji Kagawa spat out a string of bloody saliva, a strained smile appearing on his face, "So... the real battle... heh heh... uh... is more... more... cruel... than... training... I was careless... careless... but, hahaha, uh... as an imperial... imperial prince, to die on the battlefield... I... die without regret... General Piszczek, you are a true general of the empire... you must go... go quickly, you must tell... tell His Majesty, don't underestimate... don't underestimate these natives, they are also... they are also true warriors!"
As Shinji Kagawa finished speaking, he suddenly mustered his last bit of strength, crushed a jade disc hanging from his waist, and a Teleport appeared on the deck. Before Piszczek could say anything more, he struck out with his palm, sending the unsuspecting blond giant flying into the Teleport. With a flash of light, the Teleport disappeared from the deck.
Bang!
Shinji Kagawa collapsed on the deck.
This young prince of the Dortmund Empire, who was yet to rise to power, should have shone brightly as a military star in the chaotic world of the empire's war. However, due to carelessness, arrogance, and underestimation of the strength of a lower-level empire, he ultimately perished in the skies above Chambord City, leaving behind endless regret.
Chaotic times are indeed cruel.
Whether you are as lowly as a pheasant or born into a noble imperial family, whether you are a peerless genius or a hero of your generation, in the merciless flames of war, everyone is equal and will face the cruel fate of dying one day and turning into dust.
"Hahahaha, twenty-nine years of sword practice, and in one fell swoop I made a grave mistake. I had the will to kill the traitor, but I was powerless to turn the tide. I hate it, I hate it so much!!"
Beneath the mainmast, the critically wounded [ One Sword ] finally couldn't hold back his tears. He had made a grave mistake, inviting trouble and leading the people of Dortmund to spread the flames of war to the territory of the Zenit Empire. He could never atone for his sins in this lifetime.
He was almost left with only half his body, but no blood was left at the wound. The essence in his body had long been burned away. With difficulty, he used One Sword rusty sword to support himself on the ground and walked step by step to the edge of the Black Warship deck. Looking down at the vast land, his eyes contained endless longing and intoxication. Hot tears rolled down his thin face and down his naked body.
He suddenly turned around, looked at Sun Fei, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, King of Chambord, I will watch you from the embrace of the stars as you protect Zenit in this chaotic world and create an unparalleled empire... And also, watch out for that Golden Skeleton!"
After saying that, he leaped into the air.
Like a great bird taking flight, it plunged into the vast darkness of the night.
In the blink of an eye, before it had fallen much, its body suddenly collapsed like a sand dune, turning into tiny, pale red particles that vanished into the night sky. A night breeze blew, and [ One Sword ] transformed into countless forms, drifting across this passionate land of Zenit.
The empire's most brilliant swordsman has fallen.
Third update.
