Chapter 456: Are You Ready to Die?
"Ye Qiu, are you willing to sever your arms for your brothers?" Frank looked at Ye Qiu with a playful smile.
Cliff and Nishihara Takeshi, along with others, all wore expressions of ridicule.
"Captain, no!"
Before Ye Qiu could respond, Shang Yu on the side shouted anxiously.
Other Genetic Warriors from Huaxia also stared at Ye Qiu intensely, shaking their heads desperately.
How could they not see through Frank and the others' intentions?
They wanted Ye Qiu to sever his own arms, release the prisoners, and then there would still be a battle between them and Ye Qiu!
By then, Ye Qiu indeed wouldn't be bound by Shang Yu and the others, but he would already have lost his arms!
How could he possibly face Frank and the others, whose strength had significantly increased?
Makes Ye Qiu sever his arms is essentially forcing him into a dead end!
"Heh, Ye Qiu, what will you choose?" Frank's smile grew even more intense.
Indeed, what Shang Yu and the others thought was exactly his plan!
At this moment, Frank and the others felt extremely confident. If it were Ye Qiu at his peak, the three of them together might still struggle, but what threat did an armless Ye Qiu pose?
Now, what worried Frank most was that Ye Qiu might still refuse such a request!
Just like before, he wouldn't care about Shang Yu and the others' lives, treating dealing with Frank and the others as the ultimate goal.
Should that happen, killing Ye Qiu would indeed be very difficult for Frank and the others!
However, this time, their worries were obviously unnecessary.
How could Ye Qiu possibly abandon his brothers?
"Heh!" Ye Qiu let out a cold laugh, his icy eyes glanced at Frank and the others before he slowly crossed his arms.
Then, suddenly exerted force...
Crack!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Ye Qiu let out a muffled groan, truly breaking both his arms simultaneously!
For a moment, the entire space froze!
Frank, Cliff, Nishihara Takeshi, and Genetic Warriors from various countries were all startled.
No one expected that Ye Qiu's decision would be so decisive this time too.
His actions, still so resolute!
On the other side, Shang Yu and other Huaxia's Genetic Warriors had their eyes red with emotion!
"Boss!"
"Boss, don't!"
The group led by Shang Yu roared, despair in their voices, and looked at Ye Qiu with heartache.
At this moment, seeing Ye Qiu sever his arms for them, they didn't feel touched, only pure heartache.
Their hearts, truly pained beyond measure.
If they could, they would sacrifice their lives to protect Ye Qiu, so he wouldn't have to sever his arms.
Because they all knew, without Ye Qiu, they were nothing!
"It's alright!" At this moment, Ye Qiu shook his head, giving Shang Yu and the others a glance to signal them not to worry, and then he looked sharply at Frank, saying in a deep voice, "I hope you keep your word and release them!"
"Don't release them!"
"That's right, absolutely not!"
Cliff and Nishihara Takeshi shouted immediately, their tones extraordinarily firm!
"Calm down!" Frank yelled, casting a glance at them before lowering his voice and saying, "I know full well that if we release them now, we have already lost the initial confrontation."
"But I feel we must release them, otherwise, if we push Ye Qiu to the brink of madness, who knows what he might do?"
"You must remember, our ultimate goal is to kill Ye Qiu. Now, with his arms severed, his strength greatly diminished, this is our best chance to deal with him."
With those words, Cliff and Nishihara Takeshi bowed their heads in contemplation for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.
"Release them!" Frank ordered the other Genetic Warriors behind him.
Subsequently, Shang Yu and the others were pushed by those Genetic Warriors and quickly ran to the front of Ye Qiu.
"Boss!" Shang Yu looked at Ye Qiu with a mixture of emotion and worry, urgently saying, "You should leave, quickly go, you are definitely no match for them now, hurry and go, we'll cover your retreat!"
"Yes, Boss, you must leave quickly!"
"Boss, without you, we wouldn't be here today, so let us repay you with our lives now!"
The others shouted along!
Yet, Ye Qiu coldly glanced at Shang Yu and the others, solemnly saying, "Are you guys... showing pity for me? You covering my retreat? Let me run away like this? Let me abandon my brothers and run away alone?"
"What do you take me, Ye Qiu, for? Do you know who I am? I am Ye Qiu, the Demon King Ye Qiu!"
"Brothers, have you ever heard of a time when Demon King Ye Qiu would retreat? Heh, you must remember, in my Demon King's dictionary, the word 'retreat' will never exist!"
"So, all of you, every one of you, get lost as far as you can!"
"That's an order; obeying orders is the duty of soldiers!"
"Get lost!!!"
"Quickly get lost!!!"
Accompanied by Ye Qiu's stern shouts, Shang Yu and the others' eyes turned even redder, their eyes misted over!
How could they not understand Ye Qiu's intentions?
Telling them to get lost, as far as possible, was essentially urging them to leave, to flee to safety?
And Ye Qiu himself? Clearly, he was poised to fight to the end!
Speaking of not letting them cover for him, now, he himself was about to drag along his disabled body to cover them!
How could Shang Yu and the others possibly accept such an outcome?
Yet, they had no choice!
Because, in the final moment, Ye Qiu explicitly stated this was an order!
Shang Yu and the group were all soldiers from Huaxia, and since it was an order, how could they not comply?
"Boss..."
"Boss!"
The dozen or so warriors looked at Ye Qiu with helplessness and despair.
"Brothers!" Shang Yu, remaining relatively calm, gave Ye Qiu a deep look, then motioned to the others, saying in a low voice, "Don't drag the boss down here, let's go, all of us!"
With those words, Shang Yu took the lead, darting out swiftly, sprinting away into the distance!
"Let's go! We're leaving!"
"Boss, we'll meet again!"
With Shang Yu leading, the other Genetic Warriors could only follow quickly and leave!
Ye Qiu turned to glance at them, watching as the warriors slowly vanished into the distance, he lowered his head slightly, calculating quietly, "With Shang Yu and the others' current speed, they will reach the safest place in five minutes."
"So... hehe, in five minutes, it will be these guys' death time!"
Thinking, Ye Qiu couldn't help but raise his head and look into the distance.
On his way there, he had already noticed many traps set along the path, and now his task was to wait for Shang Yu and the others to successfully pass through the ambush zone.
By then, the real battle would have just begun!
Several seconds later, Ye Qiu lifted his gaze again, glancing at Frank and the others with a sharp look, and said indifferently, "You guys have been waiting for this moment for a long time, haven't you? So, are you ready to die?"
