Chapter 599: Chapter 272: The Cyborgs Showcase Their Skills

Fujihara Tomohiro understood that he was about to make the most important choice of his life.

He would stand against a Quasi-Dragon King.

It was a good thing it was Hai Ma; on the entire island, perhaps only this Quasi-Dragon King was someone he dared to confront.

Fujihara Tomohiro stood up and looked toward the clock tower not far away, then patted Yamaguchi Yoshio who was beside him.

"Yoshio, you go back first," he said.

"???" Yamaguchi Yoshio was utterly confused.

Hadn’t Fujihara Tomohiro asked him to come to witness Tai Sui’s death? What was this sudden instruction to go back all about?

"Why... why?" he asked.

Fujihara Tomohiro didn’t explain much, only saying, "I’ve thought about it, and this place is still very dangerous for you."

"You go back and wait for news, Yoshio."

Although he believed Hai Ma wouldn’t harm him, the same couldn’t be said for Yamaguchi Yoshio.

It was very likely they would use Yamaguchi Yoshio to teach him a lesson, a warning.

This was the only person he had left, the only one he still cared for.

"Yes, Uncle Fujihara, I’ll go back then... I will, try to become stronger," Yamaguchi Yoshio said farewell somberly.

He thought that the so-called danger meant Fujihara Tomohiro was not confident about protecting him in front of Tai Sui.

He was afraid that at a critical moment, he would become a burden to Uncle Fujihara.

Fujihara Tomohiro watched him leave, then suddenly added, "Yoshio, don’t go back to Yamaguchi Village. Go to Sea King Port and pay a visit to His Highness Tiger Whale."

Yoshio was startled, realizing that something must have changed.

Uncle Fujihara was a powerful warlord of His Highness Tiger Whale, sending him to meet him... Why did it sound somewhat like a task being entrusted to him?

However, it was clear that Fujihara didn’t want to say more, and as a sub-Tiger level, what could he do even if he knew?

He respectfully bowed deeply and left with his head down.

After he was gone, Fujihara Tomohiro checked the time.

The latest news was that the Tiger King Conference had ended, and the champion was Wei Miao.

But it would take approximately thirty more minutes to finish bestowing the titles, wrap up the speeches, ensure everyone was rested to their prime, and return all the contestants.

"Swoosh!"

He drew his katana, which gave off a flash of electric light.

With a leap, he was like a bolt of lightning landing atop the clock tower.

The clock tower had the hanging corpses of twelve people: Gao Shu, Luo Yan, Su Lei, Meimei, Liu Xu, Sun Chuan, Li Shande, Dongfang Yi, Jiang Yuan, Taylor, Cassandra, and Mountain Tiger, all poisoned and paralyzed, unable to move.

Most were those identified by Yamaguchi Yoshio as the ones who caused an uproar in Yamaguchi Village.

The other members of the Revenge Gang were locked inside the clock tower.

The only one wronged was probably Mountain Tiger. But who made him a True Tiger Level, second only to Gao Shu in strength, and previously defined by Fugu as a Tai Sui partisan?

Therefore, Sea King Port’s hidden hands directly identified him as a key figure of the Holy Spirit Society.

These past days, Mountain Tiger had been hung in the clock tower, crying out his innocence every day, but no one paid any attention to him.

Now, he looked utterly deflated.

All he could do was hope that his robot Xiao Han would come to rescue him.

After all, among those captured, none were cyborgs, and Xiao Han had not been captured either.

The so-called total roundup of ’Tai Sui partisans’ was essentially Fujihara capturing those who had appeared in Yamaguchi Village before.

Luo Yan was very clear that one shouldn’t put all eggs in one basket.

Therefore, as soon as he entered Tongling Village, he had arranged for Zi Chen the Hermit to split his forces into two groups, hiding separately: the Radiation group and the cyborg group.

Zi Chen the Hermit, leading Xia Heng, Grey Mist, Thief of Heaven... Qiao Long, Han Qing, Xing Shiping, and the others, had not been captured.

On one hand, these cyborgs had powerful camouflaging abilities, especially Xia Heng, who could become anything.

On the other hand, Tongling Village specialized in cyborgs, which were widespread here.

Zi Chen, Xia Heng and the others, with a slight change in appearance, could easily blend in.

Fujihara Tomohiro was unaware that they were also Tai Sui partisans; he mainly captured those who had previously caused trouble in Yamaguchi Village, and those who had escaped from the Revenge Gang during the pursuit of Wan Kai.

At this moment, Zi Chen the Hermit and the others were hiding near the clock tower.

Grey Mist had even infiltrated the clock tower while invisible.

There was also the Thief of Heaven who had dug a tunnel underground. Over several days, without a word, they had carved a secret passage that led directly to the dungeon where everyone was imprisoned.

These past few days, they had been secretly transporting people.

To prevent discovery, Xia Heng had hacked all detection equipment, and Zi Chen the Hermit had created many lifelike Blood Meat Puppets.

Every time Thief of Heaven took a person away, he replaced them with a puppet.

Until today, when nearly all the members of the Revenge Gang had been transported. In fact, what was now in the cells were all puppets.

This Blood Meat Puppet technology was incredibly realistic.

If the hands at Sea King Port only looked superficially, they wouldn’t notice anything wrong.

Even if they were interrogated or their flesh was broken, the material inside would still be genuine, of Tiger Level flesh and blood.

"Incredible, gentlemen, I didn’t expect that you could rescue us all from under the eyes of the Elephant Level," said Chef Xue from a hidden underground area, looking at Thief of Heaven with gratitude.

The Thief of Heaven, his face covered, calmly replied, "Don’t question my professionalism."

Chef Xue smiled. Professionalism? Wasn’t Thief of Heaven’s profession stealing? The same thief who dared to steal Tyrant Caesar’s Demon Blade, then hid in Evil Dragon Castle for over a month without being caught.

Now stealing people was also within his realm of expertise.

"Then do you have any plan to rescue the Gang Leader and the others?" asked Chef Xue.

The Thief of Heaven shook his head, "That’s going to be tricky; they’re being hung individually from the clock tower in plain sight, and there are always two True Elephant Levels standing guard nearby."

Chef Xue bit his lip, understanding that they had been easily rescued primary because they weren’t considered a high priority.

To threaten Wan Kai and Tai Sui, controlling those twelve people was sufficient.

Indeed, it was true.

They were all comrades who had been with Gao Xin for a long time, and furthermore, the most important person in the Revenge Gang, Gao Shu, was also there.

Xia Heng would lose, and in Chef Xue’s view, it was all for the sake of Gao Shu... He dared not die.

If he died, Gao Shu would have to die too, and even everyone in the Revenge Gang would die, as the people of Sea King Port simply couldn’t be bothered to spare them.

As long as Xia Heng lived another day, the members of the Revenge Gang still had value.

Similarly, Luo Yan and the others were to Tai Sui.

"There’s nothing we can do, we’ve done all we can, the others will have to rely on sheer strength to be rescued, we can only wait for my master and Caesar to return." Zi Chen lamented.

Chef Xue stroked his chin and said, "It’s been so many days, the game should have ended by now, unless they died in the game, they should have appeared already, they’re just hiding nearby waiting for the right moment."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, considering it very likely.

That being said, the twelve people on the clock tower might not be in such grave danger after all.

Xia Heng and Tian Xin were probably watching them in secret.

"Boom!"

Just as they were thinking this, suddenly a violent collision sounded from above.

Then came various noises of combat.

"What’s happening?" Zi Chen hastily inquired.

The voice of the Grey Mist resounded in everyone’s ears, "Fujihara Tomohiro suddenly made a move, a massive slash seemed to want to kill everyone, then a Demon Blade appeared, dissolving that slash."

Grey Mist had been invisible on the clock tower the whole time, and with Xia Heng’s help, he became a war reporter, directly witnessing the battle between Fujihara Tomohiro and Xia Heng up close.

"Xia Heng has returned, that’s good news, he’s strong enough to fight Fujihara Tomohiro, and we can take the chance to rescue people." Xing Shiping said excitedly, holding a cage in his hands, which contained an old cat.

After finding out that Luo Yan and the others were caught, they had even gone to the scene of the incident, hoping to find any comrades who had slipped through the net, but they only found this cat.

It was locked in a cage and had not been taken by Sivina.

However, Thief of the Heavens shook his head, "Take the opportunity to rescue them? Have you forgotten about Sivina?"

"Xia Heng plus Tian Xin are not a match for Sivina and Fujihara Tomohiro, not to mention the other ten at Elephant Level!"

"Last time, they escaped by participating in the game, even they had to do that, let alone us."

Zi Chen pondered, "There will always be a way, right, the Tiger King Conference should be ending too, we just need to drag this out until Tai Sui returns."

These past days, as they hid outside, they naturally heard about the Tiger King Conference as well.

It was big news, no need for deliberate collection, as basically anyone who wasn’t newly connected to the net knew about it.

"I’m afraid we can’t drag it out. Tian Xin is badly injured, right now it’s almost Xia Heng against two, and Xia Heng seems very weak." Grey Mist urgently reported the situation at the scene.

Everyone was shocked, "How is that possible? Didn’t they just come back from the Silver Islands? Why are they weak and injured?"

Chef Xue knew the reason and sighed, "No money..."

"Huh? They just participated in a game and still have no money?" Zi Chen was astonished.

Chef Xue said gravely, "You have to consider what level of game they participated in."

"The difficulty Xia Heng would be matched with makes it almost impossible for him to survive."

"And the only way to survive is to give away the appearance fee and the rewards to the powerhouses in the game, in exchange for survival."

"Even then, it’s a gamble, depending on the character of the other party."

Everyone knew that if one only considered surviving the Sinner’s Game, there was a universal way to survive, which was tribute.

The Wasteland Xia Heng, desperately in need of money, had dared not participate in the game for seven years precisely because he was almost certain to die if he entered the game.

The fact that he survived this time probably owed a lot to Tian Xin, who teamed up with him.

Otherwise, even if he sought the protection of a fairly familiar powerhouse to offer tribute, he probably wouldn’t have survived.

In other words, Xia Heng completely skirted the game by just scraping by.

To know that he entered the game with an injured body and managed to survive was a miracle itself.

There was no point in thinking about earning redemption tickets.

"Rumble!"

The noises from the fight outside became more intense, Xia Heng couldn’t hold on for much longer against the two opponents.

He could fight Fujihara Tomohiro for a day and a night, or even draw with Sivina in combat.

But if the two of them ganged up on him, he might not even last thirty minutes.

"Does Fujihara Tomohiro actually want to kill Gao Shu and Luo Yan?"

"No, perhaps he expected Xia Heng to be nearby and did it to force his hand."

"What now? Should we make a full effort to rescue while Xia Heng can still hold on?"

"If he can hold them off, and we all take action against the ten at Elephant Level, we might have a chance."

These cyborgs were not to be underestimated. Zi Chen, Xia Heng, and Thief of the Heavens were all Elephant Level cyborgs.

Although Grey Mist was at Tiger Level, his ability to remain undetected even Xia Heng couldn’t spot him.

Qiao Long, Xing Shiping, and the others, although weak, each had the arm of a Young Elephant cyborg, capable of delivering a burst of power comparable to that of a Young Elephant.

If they had the chance to ambush, they too could achieve remarkable feats.

Moreover, they had Xiao Han, a Young Elephant Level half-Angel, and Zi Chen could control various combat weapons inside Tianxin Temple. If they stayed behind to cover, perhaps they could really rescue the people and escape.

So the key was that they needed an opportunity for a preemptive ambush.

The enemy was in the dark, they were in the open, and that was the slight advantage they had to exploit.

"An opportunity for an ambush, I can create that, hehehe." Xia Heng’s voice sounded in their ears.

"Cai Gou, keep yourself hidden well, Zi Chen and the rest come out with me, I’ll take you up the stairs."

Zi Chen was surprised, "How can you take us upstairs to get close to them?"

Xia Heng’s voice changed, "Why can’t I? I am Yamaguchi Yoshio after all!"

Everyone paused, and after listening to Xia Heng, who was also monitoring the entire situation outside, they understood. For some unknown reason, Yamaguchi Yoshio suddenly left.

This gave Xia Heng an opportunity, namely he could disguise himself as Yamaguchi Yoshio.

Pretending to be at Tiger Level was easy for him, and this was probably the only person whose strength was insufficient yet had a high status.
