Strange Cards

Chapter 170 A hero cannot desert his post!

Joker stared at the dark red blood on his fingers, his face contorted with rage beneath his mask.

Shigure's illusion had been covering the entire process, to the point that even Joker didn't know how he had fallen into the illusion.

After being knocked away, Shigure used the wings on his back to stabilize himself in the air, and suddenly sensed danger in front of him.

Shigure threw a punch that collided with Joker's punch, creating a powerful shockwave.

The result was that Shigure's arm was broken and sent flying, while Joker was completely unharmed.

Joker unleashed a barrage of attacks on Shigure as if he were possessed, then delivered a powerful spinning kick that sent Shigure flying, forcibly disabling Shigure's Remnant Fire Mech.

Shiyu collapsed to the ground, her body covered in wounds.

But the wound was healed in the next second, and Shigure suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough..."

Shigure stood up by pushing herself up from the ground, but then Joker stomped on her and pushed her down.

"You're just an ordinary person. Making me bleed is already the highlight of your life."

"You're no hero who fought against the gates of hell; you're just a clown."

Shigure's hand touched the ground, and once again gathered the power of the Nine Shadows to punch Joker away.

However, the lifespan loss of the Nine Shadows is also extremely terrifying. After using the Nine Shadows Combined Rain twice, half of his black hair turned white.

Shigure stood up again, and at that moment, the Ace of Spades hurriedly said.

"Run! No matter which direction! Separate your Nine Shadows from yourself and run!"

"If you keep going like this, you'll really die. Forget being a hero, you won't even be a coward!"

Just as Shiyu was about to reactivate the remnant flame, she spat out another mouthful of blood and took out two small bags of pills.

Those were the pills that Liu An had given Shi Yu to suppress her illness. Faced with her suddenly deteriorating condition, Shi Yu didn't care about anything else and tore open the two packets of medicine and swallowed them directly.

Just then, Shigure's earphones suddenly started playing a sound.

"Are you alright, kid?"

Qi Wu's voice came, and at that moment, the hunters had already arrived at the base.

"We're coming to provide support right now..."

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Shi Yu glanced at the Gate of Hell and clearly sensed that there were still two Nightmare-level Ghost Kings there.

"The Hunter God mech is almost finished and assembled; someone needs to pilot it!"

"There are two Nightmare-level Ghost Kings near the Gate of Hell. If you arrive and no one pilots the mechs, the entire South China Sea City will become a living hell!"

"The mech assembly will take another half hour..."

"What are you trying to do? Don't try to be a hero now!"

"No, boss."

"This isn't about playing the hero; it's something I have to do."

"I'll buy you half an hour. Even if it kills me, I'll hold out until the Hunter God mech is assembled."

"I now carry the light of countless homes on my shoulders, and I have an absolute reason not to retreat."

As he spoke, Shigure threw the earphones away and stomped on them with all his might, shattering them.

"You're already in this state, are you still going to play the hero?"

"If you run away like a dog now, I might spare your life."

Shigure took out the brand-new belt from behind his back and smiled.

"When you want to be a hero, you've already lost your right to be one."

"I don't want to be a hero, I just want to be an ordinary person and live a simple life."

"But I have a reason to be here, I have to be this hero."

"For the lights of countless homes behind me, and for the people I love."

Shigure took out a syringe, brushed all of JQKA's hair, then pried open the slot on the belt and inserted the syringe.

"A hero cannot desert his post in the face of battle."

Shi Yu pushed the end of the syringe hard, forcing all the liquid inside in.

"Neo".

"Amazon!"

The large eye on the belt emitted a yellow light, and Shigure unleashed another burst of energy.

Shigure was quickly covered in blue and white armor. At that moment, the seed of Shura was planted in Shigure's body and began to take root and sprout.

.........

After Shi Yu hung up the call, Qi Wu slammed his fist on the conference room table. The helplessness he felt a year ago, when he could only watch helplessly as the two children died before his eyes, resurfaced in Qi Wu's mind.

Qi Wu really wanted to go and support Shi Yu, but looking at the large picture on the conference room screen, Shi Yu was right; there really were still two Nightmare-level Ghost Kings wandering near the Gate of Hell.

"Guan Yun! Go and ask the people at the other three bases!"

"Have they been doing nothing all this time? Didn't they just develop a new batch of Bifang transport planes a few months ago? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Guan Yun took out the holographic panel and tapped it a few times, bringing up a new map.

"The nearest Eastern base will arrive in about five minutes, and the Western base in seven minutes."

"The northern base will be in ten minutes."

Qi Wu gripped his hair, the bulging veins on his hands and the taut scalp proving that he was using a lot of force.

Gu Yue held Qi Nannan and Liu Yu in her arms, without saying much, but gently patted Qi Wu's shoulder to help him recover.

"Yu Yan... no, Liu An!"

"Go to the western battlefield now and replace Bai Yu so that Bai Yu can go and support Shi Yu."

"Have Bai Yu use the Ten of Spades' time stop to freeze that area of ​​time and hold out until we get there!"

"Guan Yun, go to the only empty southern battlefield now and reduce the pressure there."

"The mecha pilots are tentatively set as Li Shunda and Qi Wuyu. Even if those old bastards impeach me and say that this thing is not approved by the state, I will accept it."

"Get moving! Even if it costs the Southern Base its resources, save that kid's life!"

Liu An glanced at Liu Yu in Gu Yue's arms and noticed that Shi Yu's safety amulet was actually on Liu Yu's body.

"Xiao Jiu, this safety amulet belongs to Brother Shiyu, how come it's with you now?"

Liu Yu held up the peace charm.

"This was given to me by Sister Baiyu before she left. She told me to keep this safety amulet safe."

"She also said that this thing was given to her by her brother Shiyu, and that it was very important, so she told me to be very careful."

Just then, the safety buckle in Liu Yu's hand suddenly shattered, and jade fragments fell all over the ground.

Liu An panicked the moment he saw Ping An's key shatter and rushed out in a flurry.

As for Shigure now... the situation is quite bad.
