Rewind a few years, and you'd often see some trolls online saying things like, "If I stab you, won't you die?"
Now Su Yuzhuo can give the answer: a stab might not be fatal, but getting blown up by a grenade definitely means you won't survive.
"Uh... you're Belock, right?" The little girl spoke up, "I think we can talk things over without resorting to such extreme measures. The world needs peace and love. Just look at my sincere eyes."
As she spoke, the little girl tried hard to make her eyes look gentle.
However, Belock didn't even have the intention to turn his head, sneering, "Your method of attracting attention is too clumsy. It's less useful than telling me there's a UFO above me."
"Wow! There's really a UFO above you. See for yourself." The little girl said exaggeratedly.
It has to be said, the little girl was really giving it her all to draw Belock's attention.
What she didn't know was that Belock had already made up his mind not to waver. Even if there were a UFO above, or a tiger behind him, he wouldn't turn his head for a look.
Slowly extending his hand towards the ring, Belock looked at Su Yuzhuo with a sinister smile on his face, "Any last words you want to say?"
Su Yuzhuo pointed behind him and said softly, "There's really someone behind you."
"Hahahahaha!" Belock laughed uncontrollably as if he heard the funniest joke, "Do you take me for a three-year-old? Such nonsense..."
At this point, his words were abruptly cut off because a figure appeared in front of him, reaching out at lightning speed to snatch the grenade from his hand.
Belock hesitated no more, reaching to pull the ring.
But just as he was about to do so, he suddenly realized that someone had firmly locked his right arm.
At the same time, his left hand was forcefully pried open.
"..." Staring at his now-empty left hand, Belock wore a bewildered look as if he hadn't quite grasped what was happening.
It was two ninjas who acted. When Iwakami Shigehiro started against Uesugi Yumi, they abandoned the assassination of Sun Shijie and Zhao Guo'an and lay in wait, ready to act.
Xiao Feng and Uesugi Yumi's fight wasn't something they could intervene in, but taking something from Belock's hand was no problem for them.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction of Belock, Su Yuzhuo launched a sudden attack, the blade flashing, leaving a gradually deepening red line on his neck.
Perhaps the attack was too swift; until the blood began to flow, Belock only then touched his neck, feeling something wet and somewhat sticky.
Bringing his hand to his eyes, he saw bright, shocking red.
"Sssss..."
Red blood spurted from his carotid artery like a fountain.
"Thud!"
Belock collapsed to his knees, feeling his life slipping away rapidly, and his consciousness gradually fading.
He led a dull life, neither fond of reading books nor watching movies.
If he had engaged in either hobby, he would have realized that whether hero or villain, those who talk a lot at such a moment usually don't have a good ending.
At this moment, Su Yuzhuo had already joined the battle against Uesugi Yumi, greatly easing Xiao Feng's burden.
Fujiwara Keiaki and Iwakami Shigehiro watched the battle nervously, worried that something might happen to Su Yuzhuo, though clearly, they couldn't help, and neither could the hidden ninjas.
Lu Yao and the little girl exchanged glances and quickly joined in, but stayed on the periphery to control the situation, not daring to get too close.
Lin Jiaxuan still stood guard, even though the chance of a ninja attack seemed low, who could guarantee that one or two might not get mischievous ideas?
For a moment, the situation seemed to reverse. As Uesugi Yumi was encircled, she slowly shifted to a defensive posture, falling into a clear disadvantage.
Soon, perhaps driven by anger, Uesugi Yumi shouted and threw her cane towards Su Yuzhuo.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The cane spun rapidly, whistling as it flew towards Su Yuzhuo.
"Oto, watch out!" Iwakami Shigehiro shouted in warning.
Of course, such a warning seemed unnecessary, as Su Yuzhuo hadn't let down her guard and, from her reaction, didn't intend to catch it with her weapon.
"Swish!"
The cane nearly grazed Su Yuzhuo's shoulder as it flew past, creating an incredibly tense scene.
If in an animated film, this sequence might use slow-motion editing to highlight how dangerous this moment was.
Xiao Feng furrowed his brow, suddenly feeling something amiss.
Dropping a weapon, whether under siege or in any situation, was a cardinal sin unless confident it would render the opponent incapacitated.
And as a famed figure in the Ninja Realm, Uesugi Yumi's wealth of combat experience meant she couldn't make such a rookie mistake.
The only possibility was that she had the confidence that this move would severely injure Su Yuzhuo, if not outright... kill?
At that moment, Iwakami Shigehiro shouted again, "Oto, run, don't look back!"
Xiao Feng tilted his head slightly and saw that the thrown cane, after traveling far, was spinning back like a boomerang.
Su Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback; she didn't know what was happening but understood Iwakami Shigehiro wouldn't get agitated for no reason, so she immediately prepared to dodge away.
"Ha!"
Uesugi Yumi chuckled coldly, seemingly having predicted such a situation, promptly taking out a rectangular box and pressing it on both sides aiming at Su Yuzhuo.
"Pew-pew-pew-pew-pew!"
A series of sounds emerged, like suppressed gunfire.
Xiao Feng's steps faltered. He was thinking of pushing Su Yuzhuo away or pulling her in, but given the circumstances, advancing further meant courting death.
With both left and right escape routes blocked, Su Yuzhuo decided to drop down immediately, realizing that even though the move might look awkward, pride couldn't outweigh life.
However, just as she embarrassingly dove down, she saw Uesugi Yumi give a chilling smile, pointing the box at herself.
Su Yuzhuo felt her heart skip a beat, feeling closer to death than ever before.
"You old witch, you have no shame!"
The little girl shouted, whipping her whip and accurately landing a strike on the box in Uesugi Yumi's hand.
"Snap!"
The box slipped out, dropping to the ground.
If Lin Zhiyan were to see this scene, she'd surely feel gratified.
Because the little girl had always had issues with targeting precision during attacks. While hitting people was okay, smaller objects were more hit-or-miss, mostly a guessing game.
Whether it was a lucky guess or improved accuracy, in any case, hitting the target was a success.
Su Yuzhuo chuckled wryly, knowing she could feel the wind behind her. In plain terms, this attack was unavoidably heading her way.
