My Arrogant Young Lady

"So, shall we abandon the stronghold we're holding now? And retreat to Africa?" Oda Seiji asked after thinking for a moment.

“Lord Demon King, our retreat will certainly involve some casualties. But to save our lives, we must retreat to Africa. Staying here is a dead end. Retreat, and we will have a glimmer of hope,” the six demon kings said.

"Very well, then let's sacrifice some of Aurora's forces. White Tiger, you lead two thousand troops to guard this place. Azure Dragon, you take Aurora's men and retreat with us." Oda Seiji stood up and said coldly.

Upon hearing Oda Seiji's words, the white tiger's expression changed.

After leaving the camp, Baihu immediately said to Qinglong, "Brother Qinglong, did we make a mistake? If we had joined Wang Xi back then, even if we were convicted, we wouldn't have been used like fools. In Oda Seiji's eyes, they only valued their own people; we were just insignificant cannon fodder. If we regret it, do you think there's any way to undo it?"

"Hehe, I wish I were the one who stayed." After hearing Baihu's words, Qinglong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked away.

"Hui'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to the Prince. Oda Seiji, he really is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. If I had the chance to choose again, how I wish I could stand with you. Even if I died at Oda Seiji's hands, I would have no regrets." Watching Qinglong reorganize the army, Baihu felt a deep sense of unease.

"They really did start retreating." Little Good Guy said, looking at the surveillance footage on his computer from 30 kilometers away.

By this time, we had retreated to a point 30 kilometers away. Although the Gobi Desert stretched as far as the eye could see, we were too far away for them to see us. We had left some surveillance cameras at our original locations so we could monitor the movements of Oda Seiji's army via computer.

As they began to retreat, Nie Xiaohai immediately laughed, "Brother Xi, so this is your strategy of retreating to advance. Let them retreat, and then we'll chase them down. As long as we keep chasing them, we won't have to fight them head-on. Not only will we suffer no losses, but we'll also reduce their forces. Good plan, you came up with a really good idea."

"Brother Hai, don't say that. Even if I didn't tell them, Father and Wang You could have come up with this plan. It's just that I've been cultivating in that immortal's mansion all day, and I often think about the situation we might be facing now. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I just said it before Father and Wang You did. And Oda Seiji is now a rat crossing the street, a wanted person all over the world. We are a righteous army, with a just cause. It's only natural to easily eliminate him." I said with a smile.

“Yes, now our Wang family is finally not the villains.” Hearing my words, my father’s eyes showed an appreciative smile.

“Brother, take this Emperor’s Sword. Although you haven’t become the greatest martial artist in the world, you are already the greatest in our hearts. The leadership in the fight against Oda Seiji should be handed to you. Lead us, and we will all listen to you.” Wang Yu thought for a moment and handed the sword to me.

"Wang Yu, weren't you someone who wouldn't submit to anyone? Why are you starting to submit to your older brother?" His father teased him after hearing Wang Yu's words.

“This…” Wang Yu blushed.

"Father, please stop teasing my seventh brother. Oda Seiji has begun his retreat. Let's bypass the White Tigers and pursue them." With that, I led everyone out of the camp. In front of everyone, I raised my sword high and said, "Elder Liang, lead the Ten Martial Halls to deal with the White Tigers' remaining forces. The rest of you, bypass the White Tigers' forces and come with me to hunt down Oda Seiji!"

"Destroy Oda Seiji!" Upon hearing my words, everyone's morale immediately soared.

As Oda Seiji led his men in retreat, leaving Byakko to hold us off, Byakko watched the billowing sand rising from the distance. Byakko knew we were coming.

Gripping his pistol tightly, White Tiger appeared extremely tense. After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, we Aurora will never be afraid of you!"

But as the billowing dust drew closer, White Tiger was surprised to find that we had split into two groups, bypassing one of his forces. Our two armies were neither too close nor too far from White Tiger, only about a kilometer away. They couldn't hit us with their guns, and seeing our large numbers, they dared not pursue.

As our two armies quickly pursued Oda Seiji, Byakko soon spotted a large number of troops stopping in front of him.

"Liang Bin, one of the ten martial arts elders of the Wang family?" Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the person opposite him, Bai Hu couldn't help but sweat.

"White Tiger, your master has already discarded you as a pawn. Are you still not going to surrender? Are you going to sacrifice your brothers, bleed the Aurora dry, and fight to the last man before you stop?" Liang Bin said coldly, standing opposite White Tiger.

"If I regret it now, is it too late?" Upon hearing Liang Bin's words, tears welled up in Bai Hu's eyes.

“Take a look at Li Bihui and Zhuque, and you’ll know whether it’s too late for you to regret it now,” Liang Bin said coldly.

"I'm sorry, Princess Hui'er, I'm so sorry, Your Highness. I, Baihu, have let you down..." Looking at Liang Bin's cold expression, Baihu thought for a moment and then knelt on the ground with a thud. Then, gritting his teeth, he pointed the pistol at his temple.

With a bang, a piercing gunshot finally ignited our ultimate battle against Oda Seiji.

When the sound rang out, Li Bihui's face paled slightly upon hearing the gunshot. Zhu Que, who only heard the lone gunshot, also showed a slight change in expression.

"Don't get distracted, let's hurry and chase after them. We have to kill Oda Seiji and avenge Xiaohao's father. Avenge your father, avenge the innocent people in this world!" Gritting my teeth, I straddled the King Serpent and pulled Li Bihui onto its body.

"Yes." Li Bihui nodded gently after hearing my words.

"They're coming! They're coming!!!" Oda Seiji, who had already fled with his army, shouted as soon as he saw us catching up an hour later.

"Now that we've started to escape, we have no choice but to escape at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing more lives, we must escape to Africa!" Upon hearing Konishi Kido's words, Oda Seiji's face turned ashen as he desperately fled.

The great battle with Oda Seiji was like a game of strategy. When we cornered them, they would still go down that dead end even though they knew it was a dead end.

They have been driven to a dead end; they have no other choice.

After Oda Seiji and his group had been running for another ten minutes or so, gunshots rang out from behind them. A large number of Aurora members fell, many of whom had just turned around to retaliate before collapsing to the ground.

We've always been the ones being hunted, but this time we're the ones doing the hunting. The feeling of hunting others is surprisingly exhilarating.

Moreover, this is war; we don't need to use any martial arts at all. Just one bullet is enough to take down a god-level expert.

My father and I relentlessly pursued the aurora borealis, our excitement growing with each falling figure ahead. The black dragon even took a few quick steps, grabbed a submachine gun, and opened fire. Li Bihui went even further, hoisting a cannon and unleashing a devastating barrage.

“Aside from the Twenty-Eight Constellations of Aurora and thousands of top-tier divine experts, most of Aurora’s forces are clones. You need not show any mercy when dealing with them,” Suzaku told us.

"Yes." We nodded gently after hearing Zhuque's words.

We continued our pursuit, taking down more and more enemies. After defeating and capturing several thousand enemies, a large group on the other side suddenly stopped.

"Wang Xi, let's have a fair duel, a duel between just the two of us!" Finally, unable to bear being chased any longer, Takeda Hell led a large number of Aurora's men to stay behind and block us.

Clenching his teeth, a fierce glint appeared in Takeda's eyes at this moment.

"Sorry, you're not qualified." Hearing Takeda's words, I merely gave a disdainful sneer. Then, the King Serpent beside me let out a strange roar and charged fiercely at him.

"ah……!!!!!"

Chapter 391 Defeat Like a Landslide

Never before had Oda Seiji been so humiliated; never before had he been hunted like this. In just a few days, Oda Seiji experienced firsthand what it meant for an army to collapse like a house of cards. From 50,000 men, all the way down to 40,000. From 40,000 men, all the way down to 30,000.

By the time Oda Seiji fled to central India, his forces had already been reduced by half. Furthermore, he had lost three key generals: Byakko, Takeda Jigoku, and Konishi Kido.

Just as they were about to take a short rest, a large group of people rushed out of the woods to their left. Leading them was Wang Huan, the fourth son of the Wang family, who led his men: the Five Poison Boys, Black Dragon, Runtu, Young Master Bao, Lu Zhicheng, and two thousand of the Wang family's elite soldiers. As soon as they emerged from the woods, without uttering a word, they unleashed a barrage of submachine gun fire.

Warfare is different from martial arts competitions; a single bullet can quickly determine the winner.

Just as Tachibana Ashura was preparing to lead a rebellion, a large group of people immediately rushed out from the woods on the right side of Oda Seiji's army. Leading them were Wang Che and her Dark Hall subordinates, along with Long Yuan and Wang Xiaojiu from the four major families, and Tang Xiaomei from the Tang family. The moment Wang Che appeared, streaks of cold light rained down from the sky. Wherever the cold light touched, Oda Seiji's men fell.

Just as Oda Seiji was about to kill them, he saw the Wang family's main force, led by experts such as Wang Yang, Qinghua, Wang Xi, and Leng Yan, arriving.

"Demon King, you continue your escape! I'll cover you!" a loud shout rang out. Tachibana Asura drew his sword and transformed into a blur, rushing towards Qinghua.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing a Heartbeat-level expert rushing towards her, Aohana merely sneered disdainfully. As soon as Aohana grabbed Tachibana Ashura's shoulder and quickly dislocated him, Oda Seiji led his elite subordinates on their continued escape.

"Let them run, we'll stay and rest. When they want to rest, we'll go after them again," Wang Yang said lazily, lighting a Daqianmen cigarette.

"Fire, go." I instructed the red monkey and then walked towards Xi'er, who was standing to the side.

So far, I have two formidable monsters under my command: the King Serpent and the Red Monkey. The King Serpent is incredibly strong and domineering; even Oda Seiji finds it a major headache. The Red Monkey excels in both speed and treasure hunting, and being a primate, it is also quite intelligent. No one is more suitable than the Red Monkey to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.

After we captured Tachibana Asura Path and many of Aurora's subordinates, we immediately chained them up and fed them some drugs that would temporarily deprive them of their powers. Wang Huan then took out a notebook, quickly opened it, and looked at the image displayed on it.

On the other side of the screen, a red monkey is carrying a camera and tracking them. With the red monkey watching them, we know everything about Oda Seiji's whereabouts.

"Your Highness, we've fought many tough battles, and this time we're facing Oda Seiji. But this is the first time we've seen a situation so one-sided. Your Highness, it was definitely the right decision to have you as our martial arts alliance leader. We've been chasing Oda Seiji for three days now, and he's exhausted like a dog. Meanwhile, we're calm and collected, and apart from a few injured brothers, we haven't suffered any casualties. It feels so good to have you leading us against Oda Seiji!" a gang leader said to me.

"Haha. It's truly lonely for a master. I feel that Oda Seiji is no match for us at all," another sect leader said.

"Haha, it was just good luck. We've already lost enough people because of Oda Seiji. In this final battle, we absolutely cannot have any more deaths, not even one." I smiled shyly at everyone's praise.

"Your Highness, you are indeed a benevolent emperor who loves his people like his own children. We are truly blessed to have a leader like you," they said.

"No, no, no, it was all thanks to us that we were able to defeat Oda Seiji. Without you all, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to defeat him. I hope we can all unite more and take the final step together. When we defeat Oda Seiji, we can live a peaceful life," I said.

"Definitely," everyone said.

Although Oda Seiji's strength was terrifying, only a step away from that of a sage, he was still a mortal. He needed water, food, and rest. The same was true for us; after chasing Oda Seiji for days, we were all exhausted. But seeing Oda Seiji's weary appearance made us persevere. As long as Oda Seiji was in pain, we felt relieved. After we had rested for a while and eaten dinner, Wang Huan, who had been monitoring Oda Seiji's movements with his laptop, said, "Oda Seiji is resting again. Let's go after him."

"Brothers, let's go!" Wang Yang said immediately after hearing Wang Huan's words.

"Okay!" Everyone seemed highly motivated.

"Damn it, they're here again!" Just as Oda Seiji and his men found a decent resting spot, they saw us rushing towards them and opened fire with their submachine guns. Oda Seiji immediately ordered a counterattack.

In an instant, a hail of bullets filled the air. Oda Seiji had just drawn his sword, ready to kill a few of us in revenge, when his subordinate, Heitendou, immediately said, "Lord Tenma, the enemy is now extremely arrogant. We cannot linger. If we stay for even a minute longer, a thousand of our men will fall. And now, the royal family's experts and martial arts masters are all gathered here. If you were to fight them, even you would likely perish here. Since we have already decided to escape, let's continue our escape. If we can escape to Africa, we will have a chance to start over."

"..." After hearing Heitendo's words, Oda Seiji stared at us silently for more than ten seconds. At the moment he stared at us, many of his men fell again.

"Alright, that's settled then." Having already chosen a dead end, Oda Seiji had no other choice. Now, he only hoped to make this dead end a living one.

Because it was night, Oda Seiji's men fled in disarray. We, however, remained orderly and, taking advantage of the darkness, captured many more of Oda Seiji's men.

After capturing many of Oda Seiji's men, Wang You immediately spread out a map and said to us, "I'm sure. Oda Seiji will take this route. And his next destination is a famous canyon in India. We can send a thousand skilled men to the canyon to ambush him. When Oda Seiji arrives there with his men, we can use sniper rifles and hidden weapons to launch another attack on them."

"Bring forth the experts from my Wang family who are skilled in sniping and concealed weapons! Bring forth the experts from my Wang family who are skilled in sniping and concealed weapons!" Upon hearing Wang You's words, the father immediately shouted.

“Father, our Dark Hall is the most suitable place to ambush Oda Seiji.” Wang Che immediately led his Dark Hall men out.

“Master, our Wang family also has many skilled snipers among our soldiers,” General Cui immediately stepped forward and said.

"Uncle, although our Tang Clan is small in number, we are most skilled in concealed weapons. Also, I, Tang Xiaomei, have many friends. They can come with me to ambush Oda Seiji," Tang Xiaomei said.

“Father, my king cobra is quite fast. I can go with them first to the Grand Canyon to ambush them,” I said.

"Alright, hurry up." The father nodded gently.

We rushed ahead of Oda Seiji at top speed. When our thousand men were lying in ambush above the canyon, we saw Oda Seiji leading his defeated and humiliated troops toward us.

When Oda Seiji and his men reached the bottom of the canyon, as darkness fell, I couldn't see them, and they couldn't see us. We could only hear their footsteps approaching. General Cui immediately led his men to throw flares and torches down into the canyon.

At that moment, the canyon below was as bright as day. Looking at the densely packed, ant-like Oda Seiji's men below, we immediately threw down bombs, hidden weapons, and other weapons, while simultaneously using sniper rifles to continuously snipe at the enemies below.

"Your Highness, do you believe I can break Oda Seiji's leg with one shot?" General Cui, lying in ambush beside me, spotted Oda Seiji below the canyon. He quickly raised his sniper rifle and aimed at Oda Seiji, who was leading his men in a hasty retreat.

In the few days I've fought alongside you all, we've become very close. General Cui is also my father's adopted son, and one of our retainers. Before, General Cui and I never spoke to each other, but in the blink of an eye, we've become like good friends. I remember when Wang Che came to the north to kill me, the Wang family brought a small troop of soldiers. The leader of that troop was General Cui.

“General Cui, if you can break Oda Seiji’s leg with one shot, I’ll treat you to a three-day feast when we get home,” I said to General Cui.

“It’s a deal!” General Cui said.

"A king's word is his bond. I, Wang Xi, always keep my word." I lit a cigarette and nervously looked down into the canyon.

Then, just as I took a deep drag on my cigarette, a beam of black light shot out from below. The light grazed my forehead, leaving a burning gash.

"Quickly put out the cigarette. It's Yuan Rendao. That guy's archery skills are godlike." General Cui whispered to me when he saw that I was almost shot to death by an arrow.

"Damn, he managed to shoot up from that height. No wonder he's a master of the Heartbeat level." As I said this, I quickly put out my cigarette.

Just as I stubbed out my cigarette, General Cui pulled the trigger on his sniper rifle. Instantly, a huge spark erupted from the rifle, and then General Cui said to me, "Hit!"

"General Cui, why didn't you blow Oda Seiji's head off?" Wang Che's voice came from the darkness. She had also seen that Oda Seiji below had been shot.

“Oda Seiji is a master; he’s quite sensitive to attacks from concealed weapons. If I shoot him in the head with a sniper rifle, his ears will quickly hear the sound and he’ll dodge. I’m more confident shooting him in the leg,” General Cui explained.

"Hmm, not bad." After hearing General Cui's explanation, Wang Che forgave him.

Next, as Oda Seiji and his men were fleeing, they suddenly heard a gunshot. This gunshot was unusual, unlike any other. By the time he realized what was happening, he felt a powerful gust of air rushing towards him. The air was aimed at his legs, and by the time he tried to dodge, it was too late.

Gritting his teeth, he let out a loud roar, and Oda Seiji's half-kneel quickly fell to the ground. Upon seeing Oda Seiji injured, Heitendou and Genjindou immediately carried him on their backs and fled even more frantically.

"Oda Seiji, he's injured?" Seeing blood flowing continuously from Oda Seiji's leg, Qinglong couldn't help but grip the pistol at his waist tighter...
