All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

However, one million silver dollars was indeed a bit too much, and everyone was still somewhat hesitant.

Just then, a member of the Shadows jogged up and whispered something in Bai Jiaxuan's ear.

"Sir, it's time. Two hours have passed!"

When Bai Jiaxuan heard that the time had come, he was a little surprised. The outside was still noisy, but it seemed that the Japanese had not let them go.

It seems the Japanese are still clinging to a sliver of hope!

Bai Jiaxuan's face gradually turned cold. He stood up and stood on the stage, looking towards the Japanese. He saw that there were at least a hundred Japanese people gathered together. When they saw Bai Jiaxuan looking in their direction, their eyes were full of hatred.

Seeing the gazes of those Japanese devils, Bai Jiaxuan's lips curled into a cruel smile as he spoke calmly to the Shadow members beside him.

"Randomly select ten Japanese bastards, escort them to the main gate, and execute them in public in front of everyone outside. I will personally carry out the execution!"

Bai Jiaxuan spoke in a flat tone, seemingly devoid of any emotion, but the people below the stage who heard it felt a chill run down their spines.

The shadow members obeyed the order and left. Soon, ten Japanese soldiers were dragged out with guns pointed at their heads and escorted to the main gate.

Just then, Bai Jiaxuan suddenly remembered something and walked straight towards Prince Deyu.

In reality, the guests in the banquet hall were not bound or restricted in their freedom. Of course, the shadowy members holding long spears around them were not just for show; these people had also considered resisting, especially the group led by Little Japanese, who had long harbored such thoughts.

When Bai Jiaxuan first captured those ten Japanese soldiers, he saw several people who almost tried to seize their guns. If it weren't for Bai Jiaxuan's cold gaze, these people might have actually done it.

Unfortunately, Bai Jiaxuan's strange methods had indeed intimidated these Japanese devils. Everyone was apprehensive. People have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, and this was even more so at this moment.

Bai Jiaxuan walked straight into the small Japanese camp. Amidst the hateful gazes of everyone, Bai Jiaxuan grabbed the old man in charge of moral education by the collar, lifted him up, and walked towards the main gate.

This scene terrified the group of Japanese soldiers. Soon, several of them, their eyes red with anger, rushed towards Bai Jiaxuan, shouting that they were protecting the prince.

Bai Jiaxuan's face remained expressionless. With a wave of his hand, the few Japanese soldiers who had rushed up were sent flying three to five meters away and rolled to the side. The other Japanese soldiers who tried to approach him were all pushed aside by an invisible force of true energy, creating an empty passage in front of Bai Jiaxuan.

Bai Jiaxuan once again displayed his divine power, a scene that once again stunned the Japanese.

Apart from the little Japanese man, all the other guests saw this scene. It was so amazing that many Western women covered their mouths and exclaimed, "My God!"

Bai Jiaxuan, carrying Prince Deyu, walked expressionlessly along the deserted passage to the gate.

Chapter Sixty-Four: I'll count to three!

At this moment, the long dining table at the gate had been lifted out, and a group of even more respectful and fanatical shadow members stood on both sides, while ten Japanese soldiers were forcibly forced to kneel at the gate.

Ten people knelt in two rows at the gate, all with fear and unease on their faces. Some of the young Japanese soldiers had sweat dripping from their foreheads, but dared not wipe it away.

The troops outside, witnessing this scene, tensed up once again.

The Japanese troops, in particular, had already seen the ten Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground, and they also noticed Bai Jiaxuan, who was carrying Prince Deyu.

Almost without any orders, the three armies of the surrounding Japanese soldiers all raised their guns and pointed them at Bai Jiaxuan.

Bai Jiaxuan remained calm, coldly watching the hundreds of gun barrels pointed at him outside.

At that moment, the reporters outside the perimeter were frantically pressing their shutters.

Both Prince Deyu and Chen Zhen, who appeared on camera, anticipated that something earth-shattering was about to happen.

When the Japanese officers saw Prince Deyu being carried by one hand, they became agitated. Several rushed into the encirclement, shouting as they did so.

"Chen Zhen, put down the Prince! You bastard, do you know what you're doing?"

"Damn it, you're making an enemy of the entire Great Japanese Empire! Put down the Prince at once!"

The flashing lights, the officers' roars, and the hundreds of rifles with their gleaming bayonets brought the atmosphere to a new climax.

Bai Jiaxuan coldly watched this group of clowns, then with a backhand swift motion, he grabbed the old man Deyu by the neck with his right hand.

The old man, who was 1.55 meters tall, looked like a child in front of Bai Jiaxuan. When Bai Jiaxuan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, he instantly felt suffocated, and his face turned red instantly.

This scene startled the officers on the other side, who immediately stopped roaring and everyone halted in their tracks.

A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of an army major general slowly raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, and carefully walked toward the main gate.

When he was about five meters away from the gate, he stopped on his own.

He looked at the Prince Deyu in Bai Jiaxuan's hand and saw that the old man's face was flushed red from difficulty breathing. He was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

The middle-aged man knelt and moved forward two more steps before stopping. He then kowtowed to Bai Jiaxuan, pleading, "Mr. Chen, we will fulfill your request as soon as possible. Please, please do not harm His Highness the Prince! I beg you!" Bai Jiaxuan looked at the middle-aged man's attitude with some surprise, but upon reflection, it made sense.

For the Japanese, it is an imperial society, and the one Bai Jiaxuan is holding is a prince who holds absolute power. This prince is almost the most powerful person after the emperor. If something happens to him, then he can only return to Japan and commit seppuku to apologize!

Bai Jiaxuan ignored the other party's pleas. He coldly glanced around at the gleaming gun barrels, finding nothing amiss, then withdrew his gaze and spoke in an icy tone.

"Two hours have passed, and you haven't fulfilled my demands. Now it's time to honor my promise. These ten Japanese bastards died because of you!"

After saying that, Bai Jiaxuan glanced at the ten Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground. Simply executing these Japanese soldiers would obviously not have the desired effect of deterrence.

Bai Jiaxuan thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. He shouted at the ten people.

"I'm giving you a chance. I'll count to three, and you can run as far as you can. Whether you live or die depends on your own fate!"

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking, his expression changed, and he called out to the crowd.

"three...

Bai Jiaxuan's words had left the ten Japanese soldiers speechless until he started counting "one," at which point some of them finally reacted.

The young Japanese man who was the first to regain consciousness instantly showed a look of wild joy on his face. In almost half a second, he struggled to his feet and ran towards the crowd in front of him.

The remaining people also realized at the same time.

There's a chance to survive!

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: I must survive!

The ten little Japanese soldiers struggled to their feet. By the time Bai Jiaxuan uttered the last count, the little Japanese soldier who had run the furthest had already run more than three meters away.

The old man carrying Bai Jiaxuan was blushing and staring wide-eyed at the scene. Looking at the running Japanese boy, he seemed to see himself running in the sunset. He was shouting in his heart.

"Young men, run, run, run towards your freedom!"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged Japanese man kneeling on the ground, initially bewildered, finally understood and his face lit up with joy. Regardless of the circumstances, rescuing ten Japanese soldiers was a victory in itself.

Bai Jiaxuan had barely finished speaking when he made no move. He simply watched coldly as the ten Japanese soldiers ran towards the other Japanese soldiers in the crowd, calling for help. Meanwhile, rows of soldiers quickly ran towards them from within the encirclement.

Among the crowd, the young Japanese man who started running first was named Masakawa Ichiro. He was only twenty-four years old, but he was already an infantry major.

Originally, with his military rank, he was not qualified to attend this banquet. However, he was a top student at the Imperial University and his family was one of the noble families. He had to beg his major general uncle several times before he finally got a spot at the banquet.

He originally thought that this banquet would be his lucky day, because he was lucky to be arranged in the noble circle and even more honored to be close to the stage, where he could see the prince's heroic figure in person!

But to his utter surprise, the banquet had barely begun when Prince Deyu was taken control of by that terrifying fellow.

When Prince Deyu was under control, he was the most active royalist. Masakawa Ichiro was quite cunning. This was a rare opportunity to get close to the prince, so in order to show his extraordinary abilities, he bulged his eyes and stared desperately at the terrifying guy on the stage.

Unexpectedly, it was that look in his eyes that put his life on the fast track once again, and he was lucky enough to be chosen as the target for execution.

They thought their lives had come to an end, but to their utter surprise, that terrifying guy took pity on them and let them go!

He was the first to regain consciousness and the quickest to react. Now he was at the very front of the group of ten, and he could already see his companions running towards him ten meters away. Freedom was right in front of him!

At this moment, Ichiro Masakawa just wants to shout!

"Thank you, Amaterasu! Thank you to my mom, grandma, and sister back in Yokokawa! Aish!"

Just as the two groups were about to converge, Bai Jiaxuan's eyes turned cold. He casually swept his left hand across the ground, and in an instant, an unnamed whirlwind arose. Several withered yellow leaves on the ground were swept by the whirlwind and, along with the airflow, turned into a straight line, flying towards the necks of the ten running men.

The true energy transformed into a stream of air, shooting out at a speed exceeding one thousand meters per second. In an instant, it swept past the necks of the small Japanese soldiers—one, two, three. Until the last one, Masakawa Ichiro!

At that moment, Masakawa Ichiro was filled with excitement and the cry for freedom. He didn't even notice a gust of air blowing across his neck. Because it was so fast, he only felt a slight coolness on his neck!

Finally, his outstretched hands were firmly grasped by his companions coming from the front, their hands clasped tightly together, as steadfast as a friendship forged in life-or-death situations.

Just then, a collective gasp suddenly erupted from the surrounding crowd, a gasp clearly tinged with fear!

Even the companion who was holding his hand had a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes.

When Masakawa Ichiro saw the look in his partner's eyes, a sense of unease welled up in his heart, and he even vaguely felt a fear he had never felt before surface in his mind.

At that moment, he had a strong urge to go back and see what was happening behind him!

Masakawa Ichiro struggled to turn around to see what was happening behind him. Just as he turned his head, he suddenly felt his vision begin to flip, as if experiencing a dizzying sensation.

He felt his head hit something, and his vision seemed to start to roll, making a crisp thumping sound, before finally coming to a slow stop. The moment it stopped, his vision became clear again, but the perspective was so strange.

Why should I look down at the world?

Why don't they have heads?

wait

脑袋

Masakawa Ichiro's last shred of consciousness flickered, because at this moment, he finally came to his senses and realized that his head seemed to have... been ripped off!

Ten running Japanese soldiers all had their heads slip off their necks at the same time. Some even had their heads fall to the ground while their bodies continued running. After running several steps, they finally fell to the ground, their heads rolling down. They opened their mouths as if to call out, but no sound came out.

This scene was so shocking that everyone around was momentarily stunned.

Only after Masakawa Ichiro's thoughts completely dissipated did gasps of surprise erupt from the crowd, and many people on the periphery were so frightened that they fainted.

One of the Japanese soldiers, provoked, fired directly at Bai Jiaxuan without any orders.

A sharp gunshot rang out, jolting everyone back to their senses.

The shot was almost completely inaccurate; Bai Jiaxuan didn't even have time to dodge before the bullet flew into the air.

The old man, whose neck was being held by Bai Jiaxuan, was so shocked by what he had just witnessed that he stopped struggling. Despite his difficulty breathing, he was too stunned to think.

If Bai Jiaxuan's ability to freeze the bullet had left him with a sliver of doubt before, at this moment, he was completely terrified by the man before him.

The methods of this man in front of me have exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people!

Ignoring the gasps of the crowd, Bai Jiaxuan casually waved his hand again, and the right ear of the old man was cleanly cut off. With a wave of his hand, the ear rolled three meters away and landed in the hands of the kneeling middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced when he was startled again. He instinctively wanted to throw it away, but in an instant, he tightly gripped the half of the ear in his hand.

His eyes were filled with terror, completely unlike the domineering demeanor that the Japanese soldier usually displayed. Not only him, but all the soldiers in the surrounding encirclement were filled with fear, and even the hands holding their guns were trembling.

Only now did they realize what kind of enemy they were facing.

Bai Jiaxuan had put on his act long enough, so he casually tossed the old man in charge of moral education on the ground.

The old man, who was in charge of moral education, covered his missing ear, clenched his teeth, and didn't even have the courage to look up.

Bai Jiaxuan coldly shouted at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling.
