Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 728 - 726: Lord Saint! Save Me!

Murderous intent surged, even the air seemed to churn up cold winds, as if winter had arrived early.

The thin clothing couldn't block the bone-chilling cold at all.

Emily's face turned ashen, thinking that she was probably doomed this time. It's true that the opponent fears fire, but knowing the weakness of fearing fire means it won't foolishly stand there anymore, letting hand grenades explode.

The opponent's extreme speed can compensate for its weakness of fearing fire.

Takeshita Kensaku pierced his feet through the hard wall, allowing his body to stand sideways without falling, his fierce eyes sweeping over the two and landing on Katerina.

His feet slightly bent, muscle fibers visibly tensed, and the next second, Takeshita Kensaku leaped down like a lion pouncing on an intruder in its territory.

An evil wind rushed in, raising the wig he wore, as Katerina pulled Emily towards the small river beside them, leaving behind three hand grenades with the pins pulled.

She knew the grenades needed time to explode, but as long as the pins were pulled in advance and held in hand, it could reduce the time needed for explosion.

To achieve this, one must have strong willpower and control over the battle situation.

Katerina knew that an enraged enemy often wouldn't spend much time thinking about how to attack.

Not to mention, the opponent had the physical qualities and attack power to crush her.

So she took a gamble, holding the hand grenades behind her back right after the opponent escaped the flames.

Takeshita Kensaku didn't notice her subtle move, only seeing three grenades waiting for him at the end.

His pupils contracted, emitting a sharp whistling in the air, his tail bone smashing into the concrete road first.

Bang, the concrete road shattered into pieces, the whole person leaped into the air under the force of the countershock.

Boom!

The three grenades exploded, shrapnel whistling through the air, making a sharp death sound, the surging flames formed into a whole.

He leapt high, avoiding the flames, and fixed his eyes on the two who fell into the river.

"Ha ha!"

Takeshita Kensaku let out a joyful laugh, kicking the void at an extreme speed.

At this moment, the air transformed into a viscous liquid flowing around him.

Boom, his body tore through the air, making a loud sonic boom echo nearby, like an eagle swooping at a rabbit, the sheer momentum making one feel like they were about to be ripped apart.

"Ah!"

Emily screamed as the river water was so cold it seemed to freeze her blood.

To say something not very tactful, she pissed herself in fear. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

She had faced crises before, but every time she believed in Katerina.

This time, clearly relying solely on Katerina wasn't enough for Emily.

The opponent was a monster, with a body bullets couldn't pierce and terrifying strength.

Just looking at the opponent's claws, it was clear it could split the two of them into pieces in an instant.

She was going to die here!

Emily felt death was like a starving man seeking her out, wanting her to become his wife.

She stared with eyes wearing colored contact lenses, only having one question in her dying moment — why could the opponent find her?

In the next second, the shadow reflected on the river seemed to come alive.

...

Bang.

A mass of shadow splattered on Takeshita Kensaku's face, followed by a terrifying force changing his descent into ascent.

The stinging sensation made his nose bleed.

He blankly stared at the dark night sky, blinking, finally realizing he was attacked.

Takeshita Kensaku rapidly stomped his feet in the void, breaking free from the sticky, liquid-like air constraint.

Boom, another loud sonic boom, Takeshita Kensaku flipped and landed on the rooftop above.

His eyes swept across, discovering four pitch-black figures, seemingly soldiers, appearing on the gently flowing river surface.

Their whole bodies were covered in armor, so black their faces couldn't be seen, only pairs of glowing red eyes proving they weren't human.

"Who are you?"

Takeshita Kensaku's tail bone lightly swayed as he looked at the four Shadow Soldiers, feeling confused and suspicious.

His ranking wasn't high enough to know about the existence of Shadow Soldiers.

Emily knew clearly who they were, a trace of surprise flashing across her face, "Why are you saving me?"

The question received no answer, only one Shadow Soldier gesturing for them to leave quickly.

Katerina reacted quickly, grabbing Emily by the waist and then sprinting away.

The river's water only reached knee-deep, clearly making swimming impractical.

Takeshita Kensaku saw this scene, feeling urgent and fiercely said, "No matter who you are, dare obstruct me and you'll die!"

He let out a roar, then all fours crawled on the ground, the rooftop instantly showing web-like cracks, muscles tightening like a bowstring being released, the arrow naturally shooting out.

Takeshita Kensaku leaped a distance of over ten meters, descending from high above, carried by strong winds.

The four Shadow Soldiers barely had time to react.

Takeshita Kensaku's hand claws and foot claws used together, in a short time, flashed over the void like blazing white lightning.

The four Shadow Soldiers were either waist cut or half their bodies torn apart.

Thump, Takeshita Kensaku landed on the river surface, the impact directly splashing all the surrounding water, forming waves several meters high, revealing the muddy and trash-covered bottom.

Takeshita Kensaku wore a smug expression and shouted, "You can't escape from my grasp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four Shadow Soldiers he had killed swiftly reverted back to human form.

One of them drew a blade and viciously stabbed Takeshita Kensaku in the waist; even the bullet-resistant muscle density yielded a five to six centimeter wound under the Shadow Blade.

"Ah!"

Takeshita Kensaku let out a muffled groan, his bone tail like a knife, swiftly slashing backward, cutting the ambushing Shadow Soldier in half.

Three more blades came stabbing from the left, right, and front.

Takeshita Kensaku was startled and hurriedly retreated, "Aren't you supposed to be dead?"

He let out a cry of astonishment, completely unable to understand how those he slaughtered were still alive.

The Shadow Soldiers did not answer his question, or rather, they answered Takeshita Kensaku's question with their blades.

Takeshita Kensaku watched the gradually distancing figures of Katerina and Emily, a sense of agitation and rage welling up inside, "I don't care how you're alive. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second or third time. Die!"

Furious, he charged forward.

In these narrow confines, danger lurked everywhere, and the four Shadow Soldiers circled Takeshita Kensaku like a revolving lantern.

They were not strong, and Takeshita Kensaku could easily kill them each time.

But after being killed, they would often return to normal, and the Shadow Blades in their hands could always pierce Takeshita Kensaku's body from unexpected angles, avoiding the bone armor and targeting the muscles.

The wounds they caused were not deep, but the sheer number was overwhelming.

In just a few seconds, he was left with dozens of wounds.

Takeshita Kensaku found himself at a disadvantage, like a tiger charging into a wolf pack: strong enough to easily kill a single wolf, but powerless against an endless onslaught.

Kill one wave, and another comes.

"Bastards!"

Takeshita Kensaku shouted angrily, retreating, with a hint of fear inevitably rising in his heart.

Faced with opponents that couldn't be killed, how could he possibly win?

He couldn't understand and couldn't help but shout, "Lord Saint, what on earth are these creatures?"

There was no response.

The four Shadow Soldiers had already launched their assault.

Takeshita Kensaku tore into one Shadow Soldier's chest with his claws and watched as the body he ripped apart shed no blood, only streams of Black Qi dispersing and then condensing once more.

The Shadow Blade stabbed toward his waist.

"Die for me!" In a fit of rage, Takeshita Kensaku swept his bone tail from left to right, slashing the Shadow Soldier diagonally in two.

But this move still did not kill it.

The Shadow Blade merely changed direction, aiming instead for his arm.

The piercing sound of air being torn filled the air.

Takeshita Kensaku panicked, realizing he shouldn't be entangled with these unkillable beings.

After all, his task wasn't to deal with these strange, undying beings, but to capture Enya.

As long as he caught Enya, he could report back to Lord Saint.

Takeshita Kensaku found justification in his mind—it wasn't cowardice, just task prioritization; the rest could wait.

He retreated once more, dodging their attacks before suddenly leaping into the air.

The terrifying shockwave blasted the gathered river water apart, his whole body soaring up, and with a kick of both feet, he chased after the fleeing Katerina like a meteor.

...

Crash!

In the night sky, the sound of thunder seemed to echo, and without looking back, Katerina sensed a chill of murderous intent rising from her spine, signaling that the enemy was closing in on her.

Did those Shadow Soldiers fail to hold him back?

Katerina thought.

Meanwhile, Emily, held in her arms, realized that the Shadow Emperor had probably struck some sort of agreement with Dio, which was why he had dispatched Shadow Soldiers to ensure her safety.

Though she didn't understand why Dio hadn't come himself, with the Shadow Soldiers sent by the Shadow Emperor, she had no need to worry about her safety.

It's important to know that the Shadow Emperor commanded more than just four Shadow Soldiers.

The shadows reflected on the river's surface wavered as they ran, and four more Shadow Soldiers charged out.

One of them, particularly robust, raised a heavy Shadow Greatshield and slammed it into Takeshita Kensaku's face.

Bam, Takeshita Kensaku only felt dizzy, momentarily unable to control his body.

Then three cruel Shadow Longspears stabbed viciously into his thigh, each striking very close.

"Ah!" Takeshita Kensaku let out a shrill scream, crashing onto the river's surface, his right leg punctured with a large hole, and blood pouring out continuously.

His face showed an expression of terror, realizing that while this body was more powerful and its defense greater than before, it had a serious weakness—he had lost the ability to produce the highly corrosive bodily fluid.

One must know that such a capability was far more valuable than enhanced muscle strength.

Have I actually grown weaker?!

Takeshita Kensaku finally realized that instead of strengthening him, Lord Saint had compromised him.

How could this happen?!

Before him were four Shadow Soldiers wielding shields or spears, and behind, another four closed in.

Takeshita Kensaku's fear grew, and he shouted, "Lord Saint, save me!"
