Chapter 58 "Are you blackmailing me morally?"

The powerful force of the explosion caused the entire square to be shattered and cracked. Arthur stood in the middle of the square with a knife in his hand, gritting his teeth, and was extremely angry.

Only when he saw the buildings falling from the sky did he understand.

The moment I left the rapeseed village in the East China Sea and joined the navy, I had already completely entered the game and integrated into this cruel world of struggle.

"How could you use such a cruel plan against me!" Smoke and dust spread, and Sengoku, who was beheaded from the execution platform by Arthur, led a large number of marines from the Judicial Island to surround him.

The marines surrounded the city with an iron wall, making it impenetrable.

Arthur also understood that from the moment he drew out the knife and attacked the entire town, he had fallen into Zhan Guo's trap.

Became a true and well-deserved sinner.

"Doctor! Where is the doctor?"

"A lot of people were split in half...something happened just now."

The miserable cries of the people spread in the smoke and dust and in the abandoned houses. No one knew what had happened in that instant.

Even Zhan Guo, who was standing in front of Arthur and confronting him, was staring at him intently.

"You actually cut the entire town in half with just one sword... It seems that you have been hiding your strength before, Arthur..." There was some blood at the corner of Zhan Guo's mouth. He was careless when he was knocked away.

I didn't expect Arthur to have the power to threaten me.

Zhan Guo was shocked for a few seconds, and Arthur had already used his ghost-like offensive speed to approach Zhan Guo with a knife in an instant.

"So fast, so fast that it's hard to catch up with his speed without Haki..." Zhan Guo waited for Arthur, who was drawing his sword very quickly, to swing towards him, with a strong murderous aura.

Like an awakened beast, it seemed to want to kill itself, and it could no longer feel any pure and righteous spirit.

Boom! Zhan Guo wrapped his fist around his body with domineering power, blocking Arthur's frontal blow.

A fierce impact spread under the feet of the two men. The combination of strength and speed, and the terrifying slashing force that erupted also surprised Zhan Guo.

"Look at the civilians around the Judicial Island. It's hard for you to escape the charges, Arthur." Zhan Guo raised his arm and pushed Arthur away from him.

Arthur, who was knocked back, slashed forward with all his strength and rushed straight towards Sengoku in a surprise attack.

The flying slash was so huge that it split the ground of the square along with the ripped ground, pushing Sengoku back more than ten meters from the front of the army.

"Fight with them... fight with them." Arthur approached Cooper and hugged him, stroking his eagle head and whispered to him.

Almost choking with tears, Arthur understood that he could not defeat Zhan Guo even if he tried hard at the moment, and he had to use extraordinary means to leave.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

The marines were holding muskets, and Arthur in the center of the square was firing wildly, while also covering the retreat of the civilians.

At this moment, they were indeed righteous and had legitimate reasons to protect civilians.

The fleeing civilians were also grateful for the navy's protection at this moment.

Arthur completely freed himself from self-restraint and galloped among the navy soldiers and the crowd.

Cooper's iron-like wings pierced through the marines' bodies, tearing them in half like a cutting machine.

Arthur was like a galloping god of death, reaping the lives of marines and civilians on Judicial Island.

Wherever the sword passes, everyone is killed, including the civilians on Judicial Island.

Blood and limbs were splattered everywhere, and kindness and mercy did not exist in Arthur's heart at this moment.

He completely exploded, and the only way to relieve the hatred in his heart was to attack them ruthlessly.

These people all wanted him to die and be executed in public, so why would he show mercy to them?

"Damn swordsman...! Stop him now."

"CNMD!" Arthur kept muttering and cursing.

The guys who were expecting him to die just now, their lives were like the branches and leaves of rapeseed flowers, being harvested by him in anger.

He turned into a lightning that cut through the crowd, shuttling through the central square of the town of Judicial Island.

This is Arthur's offensive swordsmanship, which is completely different from the defensive one. Every strike of the sword is a killing move, hitting the vital points directly and killing with one blow.

"Major Arthur, don't kill me..." A soldier was targeted by Arthur and immediately raised his hands to beg for mercy.

Arthur rushed towards him with a knife like a sword, and pierced his neck with the knife in an instant.

Another Marine's head fell to the ground.

The army's morale soon collapsed under his killing and resistance, and they began to flee from the central square.

"Self-restraint has never meant killing. You forced me to do it. You forced me to do it!"

Arthur spoke to them coldly as he killed people until the central square was empty.

There were corpses all over the ground. Arthur gritted his teeth and watched his own rhythm with mixed feelings.

He couldn't believe that he had become such a...

But if he hadn't resisted, his body would have been pierced by two blades and he would have been framed to death.

He doesn't want to die yet, he wants to live.

In the square, the navy retreated and only Sengoku was left. He stood alone not far from Arthur, took off his cloak of justice, and adjusted the tie on his suit.

Arthur pointed the tip of his knife at the Sengoku in front of him without saying a word. He was already afraid and even desperate about the navy like Sengoku.

How could he not be afraid of this guy who is proficient in strategy and good at manipulating human nature? He has no bottom line at all.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to escape from Judicial Island, he would have to fight him.

The chance of winning is slim. If he can't escape, Arthur is determined to fight them to the death.

"I've given you a choice, Arthur, but you yourself don't want to stay in the navy." After Zhan Guo finished speaking, he rushed in front of Arthur with an extremely fast step.

Decided to execute him personally.

"Cooper!"

Boom! Arthur gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands and swung it at Zhan Guo's fist with all his strength.

Boom!

The fist and the blade were in a stalemate for just a second, and when Arthur was about to be suppressed by the terrifying power of Sengoku, he shouted to Cooper in the air.

Cooper swooped down from the sky with a violent eagle strike, kicking Zhan Guo's back hard with one claw.

"Cooper!" (His body is so hard!) Cooper was shocked and swung his wings sideways towards Zhan Guo.

He knocked him away from Arthur and flew into the air again to wait for his chance.

"No one in this world can restrain us."

Arthur's body sank and he took a deep breath, his firm and serious eyes steadying again.

He looked at Zhan Guo and smiled: "The only one who can restrain us is ourselves."

"And you want to put me to death and the abyss, breaking this bond, Sengoku."

The defeated Sengoku couldn't believe that Arthur could take his punch...

Little did he know that Arthur's current strength was not enough to deflect his power. Just exerting all his strength to hold on for one second was already his limit.

Fortunately, with Cooper's help, we were able to fight it off with skill.

"Self-restraint? What self-restraint?" Zhan Guo asked curiously.

But there was no response from Arthur.

As he spoke, Arthur gathered all his strength into his legs, flexed his muscles, and shouted to Cooper in the air:

"Cooper, retreat!"

An eagle flew to the clouds with all its strength and disappeared from Warring States sight with the help of the clouds.

Seeing this, Zhan Guo used the Moon Step and the Shave Technique to quickly rush into the sky and try to intercept the eagle that Arthur cared about.

Boom!

In an instant, a huge ice dragon appeared in front of him, forming a towering ice wall to stop him.

"If you want to smash this ice dragon, I will unleash a large-scale killing move on the people below. I will fight to the death to make sure you cannot give an account. As a righteous person, what are you going to do?" Arthur warned Zhan Guo.

He would actually do that if his life was threatened.

Once he lets go of his self-restraint, he will stop at nothing.

Sengoku wanted to smash the ice dragon in front of him with his fist, but he looked at the civilians in the town below.

If the ice dragon were to shatter, the falling ice would cause huge casualties, not to mention Arthur's terrifying swordsmanship that could cut through entire towns with a single blow.

"Are you blackmailing me morally?!" Zhan Guo hesitated and shouted at Arthur, "You are threatening me with civilians. You are really an evil kid!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Arthur in the central square also quickly fled from this place, the place where he felt the ugliness of human nature in this world for the first time.

“Damn it…!” Zhan Guo was furious. A wave of lightning from the air cut through the ice and headed straight for his face, knocking him down from mid-air to below the town.

The navy cares a lot about the casualties of people around them during battle, but the Judicial Island is full of innocent civilians, and the lives of a large number of officials depend on their decisions.

This made it even more difficult for the Warring States period to let go and do its best.

And Arthur could easily escape from here with the help of those people's lives.

As a navy, if Sengoku took action against civilians, it would go against the name of justice and he would be caught in a dilemma.

ps: When Zhan Guo was young, he must have been such an unscrupulous guy. He only realized he was wrong when he got old.
