Despite his frantic internal plea to stop, the mere sight of the arrogant, irritating face of the female leader and the rampant vandalism and looting by the Black Cloud Society instantly ignited his fury.

"Wen Duo, get out of the way!"

Philip hastily activated the longsword imprint, only to find that Du Jue, who had taken the lead and was running too fast, was immediately surrounded by four members of the Black Cloud Society. Instantly, four flashes of sword light appeared around Du Jue from different directions.

"Hmph, fool! The knives of our Black Cloud Society are specially made workshop weapons. Once they hit you, you'll bleed profusely!"

"Drain this idiot until he's dried into a dried-up corpse!"

The Flame of Branding!

The branding marks spread rapidly across Dujue's skin and exoskeleton like a spider web, resembling a suit of armor inexplicably covered with shocking burns.

Blood pump!

Du Jue felt his blood and anger surge together, and he dodged the two slashes coming from the right by turning to the side. He clenched his left hand into a violent knuckle duster and flicked it to deflect the thrust from the left. However, the vertical slash from the front still landed on his shoulder.

puff.

The unusual touch and chopping sound made the Black Cloud Gang member in front of Du Jue's eyes widen. Then, Du Jue grabbed his astonished face and he felt a sudden pain in a daze.

Chi Chi Chi!

"Uhhhhh!!"

A chilling burning sound rang out along with heart-wrenching screams.

Even after Du Jue let go, he still couldn't bear it, covering his face, which was covered in red marks, and kept rolling around trying to extinguish the high temperature. However, he scratched his face until it bled and realized that it was all in vain.

"You son of a bitch!"

"Get out of the way!"

The woman with the extremely long katana, her face frosty, covered more than ten meters in a few steps, gripping the hilt with both hands and gritting her teeth as she swung a perfectly massive semicircle in the air.

Du Jue instantly took out the Blood-Nourishing Sword from the Dimensional Glove and threw it out, the powerful force creating a gust of wind.

Seeing the sword flying towards her, Nu Ruotou could only glare angrily at Du Jue. She immediately changed her move and forcefully cleaved a large gash in Du Jue's longsword. She then smugly gathered her strength to prepare for another attack.

Without even a sword, how can I fight her!

"what?!"

The woman watched in disbelief as Du Jue charged towards her bare-handed. She hurriedly drew her knife to try and force the enemy back, but Du Jue held the tip of the knife with both hands and couldn't bring himself to press it down.

"You dare to use your hand to block a knife, you idiot!"

Before the woman could finish cutting off the fool's hands, she was horrified to discover that Du Jue had quickly closed in and that the opponent's armor was far more defensive than she had imagined.

Snapped.

Before she could react, Du Jue had already grabbed her right wrist with lightning speed, which meant the outcome was already decided.

A bright red brand was instantly etched onto the woman's right hand, resembling a fluorescent tattoo used for decoration.

Chi Chi Chi!

"Fuck!!!"

119

Chapter 119 Kendo Dojo.

"Let me go!"

Despite the excruciating pain from her burns, the woman kicked Du Jue in the chest.

boom.

To her disbelief, when she delivered a powerful kick, Du Jue not only leaned back, but also reached out with his hand while pushing against her long leg.

Du Jue gripped the woman's wrist tightly and forcefully groped down her arm, leaving a shocking fire mark on her snow-white skin, even emitting visible heat.

The woman's arm immediately turned bright red from the burn, and she desperately kicked away Du Jue, who was about to touch her chest.

"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you, you piece of trash!"

Faced with a madman and utterly disrespectful person, Du Jue should not merely take an angry step forward and reach out to grab the other person's neck again.

The woman abandoned her weapon and retreated instantly, but there was no fear of fleeing in her eyes. Instead, she roared and drew a short dagger from her waist, and thrust it at Du Jue who was attacking her.

The gleaming blade even reflected the intense light of the surrounding neon lights, causing Philip, who was dealing with the rest of the team, to involuntarily squint. Unfortunately, Du Jue kept his eyes closed the entire time.

puff!

"Go to hell!"

This full-force thrust pierced right through the armor, and Nu Ruotou immediately revealed a smile of expectation; she had experienced many such life-or-death battles before.

Unfortunately, Du Jue was not forced back by the short knife piercing his chest as she had imagined. Instead, he suddenly grabbed forward and held her delicate neck with both hands.

"and many more!!"

The woman screamed in panic, almost instantly knowing what was about to happen. Then reality granted her wish, and her neck glowed with an orange-red light, as if a luminous scarf had been put on her.

"Ho-hoo!"

My throat was burning and I could hardly speak.

Upon seeing that the attack had succeeded, Du Jue did not retreat swiftly but immediately detonated the brand. Instantly, he felt his anger vanish and his mind clear, and his wisdom regained the upper hand.

Bang!

Blood and spittle flew everywhere, and the woman's screams abruptly ceased.

The onlookers stared at Du Jue in awe, even the Black Cloud Society members who were fighting with Philip and Yuna were dumbfounded and staring at this side.

The woman's head was still standing in place, but the flesh below her head was gone, leaving only bare white bones, resembling a lollipop of a human head stuck in a headless corpse. She paused for two seconds before collapsing to the ground.

"Ugh, this thing isn't as good as I thought."

Du Jue rubbed his neck uncomfortably, feeling that his intelligence had decreased when he was in a fit of rage. He had actually relied on his toughness to take the hits, which might be a better match for the Dionysian Festival.

Moreover, Hei Yunhui's leader is in pretty good physical condition; he's only just recovered from that kick.

"What? You guys have quite the martial spirit, stopping specifically to wait for me to finish fighting."

Upon seeing the brutal armored man turn around, the Black Cloud Society members immediately chose to retreat, but unfortunately, they were all defeated by the well-prepared Salvador.

Yuna stood before the corpse of the woman with a strange expression and asked Du Jue.

"Wen Duo, do you have psychological problems? Don't worry, this is quite common among those who are in charge of finishing up."

"Sorry, this is my first time using this workshop weapon. I didn't control my strength. I'll be more careful next time."

Click.

The woman's head rolled to Du Jue's feet.

"How about this, I'll treat you to a meal before we go to the kendo dojo?"

"I want fried chicken, Philip! Chef, hurry up and pick an expensive restaurant!"

Everyone enjoyed their meal in a harmonious atmosphere, without taking a moment to check the news.

[Shamisen: Forget about prohibitions, they're all the same! How did you manage to mess with this lunatic named Yi Yin? She's one of the eight top chefs!]

[Shamisen: I've been torn to shreds, only my head is left! Reply now!]

[Shamisen: I'll stop you from stabbing me to death...]

Hey!

How come this kind of thing happened again after such a short time?

[Don't ask: Brandon, how are you?]

[Brandon: Boss, don't worry about me. The shamisen manager bought a safe house for live streaming, but she seems to be in critical condition now.]

Avoid rushing to reply to Yi Yin.

[No: Don't cause trouble if we meet tonight.]

[Yi Yin: Yay! I miss your scent. I'll take good care of your staff.]

Things are different now. Du Jue feels arrogant now. She thinks that one of the eight head chefs is not invincible. This time, she will show her what it means to be a "working emperor".

At least we can't let this guy bother us anymore. He's going to become a first-tier finisher and reach the top of the city. Women are just a nuisance!

Thinking of this, I decided to stop watching the live stream without feeling too comfortable and instead send a message to comfort Shamisen.

[Brandon: Roland [10 views] I accidentally clicked the button on yesterday's tip, can I get a refund? Camille [10 views] What's your relationship with Wen Duo? Patch [10 views] Kokochi, the tribute to the city girl [100 views] Is this some kind of new performance art? Interesting.]

[To Roland: Everything is in the city; To Camille: The city and you; To Coco: The city is the art of man]

"Is this... the urban girl live stream that Yuna-senpai mentioned?"

Philip, who was standing next to her, looked over curiously. Du Jue immediately smiled and shared the news with him, which also piqued El Salvador's interest.

All four people at the table were watching the same live stream, and El Salvador found it fascinating.

"Actually, I've heard Roland mention this before, but I didn't expect it to actually mean an order. Otherwise, this urban girl would have already been eliminated by the index finger."

"There have been people who tried to use the name of the command before, but those clever guys are all dead."

"It's time to rest. Let's head to the kendo dojo."

"Wendo and Philip, you two should go first. I see you get along very well."

Black Flag Kendo Dojo.

Du Jue cautiously pushed open the heavy ebony door, and behind him, Philip nervously adjusted his glasses.

The interior is brightly lit, and you can see the whole thing at a glance.

Many people dressed in black kendo uniforms were kneeling on the ground, while several instructors holding wooden swords were demonstrating moves in the center of the training field.

"Are you looking to enroll in lessons or take a grading exam? Of course, we also provide pre-competition guidance for kendo competitions."

The crew-cut man approached Du Jue and dutifully announced the various types of courses, while Philip behind him looked towards the second-floor staircase.

According to Songmi's information, this kendo dojo is a property of the Black Cloud Society, but most people come here to learn kendo in a legitimate way. They would prefer to search the second or third floor without alerting anyone, in order to obtain information about other strongholds and the Black Cloud Society's ledgers.

Sakura's joint venture needs to keep accounts to verify the losses reported by each merchant; otherwise, the accounts will become a mess.

"Wen Duo, it seems that the first floor is just a training area. We need to find a way to get to the second floor."

"Simple."

Philip watched in surprise as Du Jue turned around with a smile, wondering what Du Jue was going to do, since he had seen the Black Cloud Society members guarding the stairwell.

"Follow my lead! Follow my lead!"

Du Jue walked to the center of the training field, causing several coaches to stop their drills in confusion.

"I want to challenge them!"

The students and their instructors were all in an uproar.

Chapter 120 Duties.

Du Jue was prepared to be besieged; he intended to incite a major riot so that Philip could take advantage of the situation.

Despite his seemingly weak appearance, Philip is a genius who rose to the rank of a fifth-level finisher within a few years, and gathering intelligence is no problem for him.

"Hahaha!"

"He's even wearing an eye patch! Has he become arrogant after getting a cybernetic implant in his head? Does this guy even know the name of our kendo dojo?!"

To Du Jue's surprise, many trainees instead mocked him with disdain. The instructors also led Du Jue and his companion upstairs with cold faces. After they whispered a few words to the members of the Black Cloud Society dressed in black, the gang members became happy.

"Wen Duo, are you alright? I'm afraid your Giant Item Workshop won't be needed for the kendo competition."

Philip noticed that Black Cloud was eagerly leading Du Jue deeper into the corridor, and he immediately felt uneasy. After all, this was a gang of urban scourge level, and it would be too much for them, as fifth-tier finishers, to deal with it.

The reason Yuna and Salvador didn't come up was simply because Black Cloud would recognize their faces and immediately realize that someone was paying to deal with them, which might cause the other party to transfer their accounts.

"Senior Feifei, I believe in you."

"what?"

Philip was completely bewildered by the sudden change in whispered communication.
