Chapter 4133 Where are the people?

Chapter 4133 Where are the people?
The light was so dazzling that some of the people present could not open their eyes.

However, the next moment, a sudden explosion rang out, followed by a scream.

Everyone looked at Naomichi Ozaki, who was engulfed in flames, and were speechless.

That's right, Ozaki Naomichi was still hit by the special bullet fired by Shimizu Ritsu. However, it's unclear whether he dodged, but the bullet still hit his left hand, which had just been repaired and was now blown off again. The flames are still burning upwards.

Naomichi Ozaki used his right hand to activate his ability, blowing away the flames spreading from his left hand, and finally managed to withstand the attack.

This left everyone a bit confused.

No, you just made such a big fuss, but it had absolutely no effect. What did you even do?

Regarding that talisman you just threw out, unless you're talking about some kind of ultimate skill, you should at least have made a defensive or healing talisman.

So far, it hasn't been of any use, and it didn't even stop any bullets. What were you busy with then?
Not only were the people on the other side completely bewildered, but Ozaki himself admitted that he was equally bewildered.

No, what happened to the promised help from a benefactor? Where is he? I can't see him.
He carefully checked his shop; the points had already been deducted. Then he checked his inventory; yes, the talisman was gone, it must have been used. But the problem was, there was no response. It's just flashing there for ages, why not at least conjure up a person? What kind of "benefactor's help" talisman is this if there's no one there?

So all those points he spent were just wasted? Can this system even sell counterfeit goods?
He used to be quite devoted to the system, but now this whole thing has left him completely bewildered.

On the other hand, Takaoka Yūnori, seeing this scene, felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Especially the expression on Ozaki Naomichi's face, which even seemed a little aggrieved... it did indeed feel very familiar, as if he had seen it on someone's face before.

Just as Takaoka Yūnori was pondering this, a dark figure suddenly leaped out from the nearby woods, interrupting everyone's train of thought.

The person who suddenly appeared at this moment was naturally very important, and everyone looked at the newcomer.

Naomichi Ozaki was naturally extremely excited. "They're here? Thank goodness!" he thought, "I thought I'd wasted my money." But when he turned around and looked, his heart sank again.

What appeared before everyone was not some random person who had suddenly appeared, but a black wolf.

To be precise, it was a black dog, only it was quite large. And it wasn't something that suddenly appeared; it was clearly one of Zong Yang's two retainers from before.

That's right. Wasn't Zong Yang sealed away before? His two retainers tried to stop him, but they were blasted away by a divine artifact and their fates are unknown.

There was no news for half a day, but unexpectedly, they came back now.

It's clear that this retainer was injured by the previous artifact, as there are visible wounds on his body. However, the external injuries aren't severe; the damage is likely more serious, perhaps internal or affecting his soul.

He appeared to be putting on a brave face when he came out, and the other retainer was still nowhere to be seen, presumably more seriously injured and still recovering. Ozaki Naomichi was truly speechless. It was bad enough that his benefactor hadn't appeared, but now the enemy had added another force to their ranks.

If it weren't for the advantage of having a divine artifact, he wouldn't have been able to deal with these Inugami clan members at all. Although this retainer was just a retainer of the Inugami clan, probably a young master from a branch family sent to serve the main family, he was likely one of the best members of the Inugami clan, perhaps even the future heir.

So even though the opponent was clearly injured and had probably suffered a serious blow, Ozaki Naomichi dared not be careless at all, as this was definitely another formidable opponent.

He was already at a disadvantage, and now you're making things even worse? Which side are you actually helping with this "benefactor" position?

"I'll only say it once: release the young clan leader immediately." The black wolf stared at Oqi Zhidao and spoke in human language.

It certainly knew that the mirror was some kind of sealing artifact, temporarily sealing Zong Yang inside. But it had just tried; they couldn't get close to the mirror at all, as they would be blasted away and injured by the immense force.

To be honest, they had never encountered such a prop before. The young clan leader recognized it as something from the divine realm, and it was indeed quite powerful.

His first instinct was to rescue the young clan leader as quickly as possible, but he didn't know how to break the seal. Ideally, the other party would cooperate and release the young clan leader obediently. If that didn't work, he'd have to try killing the one controlling the artifact to see if that would work.

Of course, Naomichi Ozaki would never cooperate. He's not stupid; he already doesn't know what to do, and releasing another person would only make things worse.

So he completely ignored the black wolf's threat and continued to look around, wondering where the benefactor was. He really had no other choice in the current situation.

The black wolf clearly realized that Ozaki Naomichi didn't take its threat seriously at all. It seemed that talking wouldn't work, so it would have to subdue the person first before talking about releasing them.

The next moment, the black wolf moved, pouncing directly towards Ozaki Naomichi on the opposite side. Its speed was astonishing; as it swept past Maruyama Zenji, who was standing in front of it, he felt as if a black whirlwind had swept past his body.

The black wolf's attack was somewhat sudden, without any prior warning to the others. After all, although they were facing the same enemy, they belonged to several different factions, each with different objectives.

At least the black wolf's primary goal is to rescue the young clan leader, not for any cultivation techniques or anything like that. So if Takaoka Yuzuriha were to block his way, he would attack him directly.

Feeling threatened, Ozaki Naomichi raised his right hand again and fired a wind blade.

At this point, his spiritual energy was already somewhat depleted, and he could no longer unleash more wind blades. Otherwise, given the situation, he would definitely have thrown more, increasing the chances of a hit, wouldn't he?

However, he could only manage to throw one shot, and it didn't even hit the target.

That's right, Black Wolf dodged Ozaki Naomichi's attack in mid-air with a quick change of direction, then accelerated again, its sharp claws seemingly already aimed at Ozaki Naomichi's head.

But at that moment, two hands suddenly grabbed the black wolf's outstretched paws. The next instant, with a loud "bang," the black wolf was slammed to the ground.
