Episode 163: The first of the ancient Shadow Assassins: Title - Seven
『 Meow Kitty's tail swayed a few times, and three pairs of sharp, gleaming claws slowly emerged.
As soon as her voice fell, Meow Kitty pounced on the Prince of Stan.
"Time to trim your nails, little kitty!"
The Prince of Stan eyed Meow Kitty charging at him, and a blue-glowing laser clipper immediately appeared on his mechanical arm.
The Prince of Stan clipped in mid-air with a snip, severing the incoming sharp claws.
Meow Kitty's eyes widened in surprise in the air, watching her nails being clipped off by the Prince of Stan with a snip.
Before it could react, the sharp claws on its other hand also met the same fate, "snapped" off by the Prince of Stan's suddenly extended arm and clippers.
Immediately after, the clippers in the Prince of Stan's hand transformed as if by magic, instantly becoming a sharp, long blade that swung down towards Meow Kitty.
Just as Meow Kitty's life hung in the balance, a blue dog shadow flashed, picking up Meow Kitty and deftly dodging the fatal blow.
Amidst the shining light, the little cat looked closely and found herself being held tightly by Wang Feng. 』

[ Amber (Genshin Impact): "Great, it's Wang Feng!" ]
[ Miyamizu Mitsuha (Your Name): "Indeed, a bit scary." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "This guy is so detestable." ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "To treat a little cat like this, unforgivable." ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "Uh, that, this, I mean..." ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "Hehehehe~ So cute." ]
[ .....]
『 "Brother Feng!" the little cat called out softly, her eyes full of sweetness as she looked at Wang Feng.
The roar of an electric guitar suddenly erupted.
"Whoever dares bully my beloved, I'll let them experience the true power of music!" Wang Feng said calmly to the Prince of Stan, holding his electric guitar.
At this moment, Meow Kitty had quietly put on headphones beside Wang Feng, ready.
Wang Feng then strummed the strings, and sound waves surged like a tide towards the Prince of Stan. However, the Prince of Stan's helmet seemed indestructible, blocking all sound waves.
The Prince of Stan's facial shield endured the continuous impact of Wang Feng's music, though cracks began to appear on its surface.
"It's just noise," the Prince of Stan snorted. A screen in front of him showed reverse sound waves being generated, and then a device on his head emitted a large amount of counter sound waves.
The Meow Kitty and Wang Feng painfully covered their ears, enduring the torment of the sound waves.
"Inferior creatures need proper training!" the Prince of Stan sneered, a blue whip extending from his artificial arm.
"Little ones, call me master!" Before the Prince of Stan finished speaking, the whip lashed fiercely towards the little cat and Wang Feng.
Just as the Prince of Stan was immersed in the pleasure of sadism, the sound of a gun being aimed suddenly came from behind him.
"Die! Invader!" Uncle Chen tremblingly raised his pistol, aiming steadily at the Prince of Stan.
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
Three gunshots rang out, and the bullets flew straight towards the Prince of Stan.
The bullets were about to hit the Prince of Stan's body.
The Prince of Stan's mechanical arm quickly transformed into a shield, blocking the three bullets.
A blue light shone in front of the energy shield, turning into a surge of energy that directly pierced Uncle Chen's chest. Uncle Chen immediately fell to the ground, completely losing his combat ability.
After dealing with Uncle Chen, the Prince of Stan aimed his weapon at Wang Feng and the little cat on the ground.
"Goodbye, little ones!"
"Kitty!"..
"Brother Feng."..
Just as the Prince of Stan was about to strike Wang Feng and the Meow Kitty on the ground,
A girl's face suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
"Hello! Hello, Four-Eyes!"
"Have you seen Seven?"
"The one with three hairs on his head!"
Cola walked up to the Prince of Stan, who looked down at her with a bewildered expression.
"Come, come, let me tell you a secret!"
The Prince of Stan checked his information through his helmet.
Superpowered Beauty: Cola!
The Prince of Stan bent down, curious to hear what Cola had to say.
"Actually, it's like this!"
Cola leaned close to the Prince of Stan's face.
"On this island!"
Before Cola could finish, she suddenly kissed the Prince of Stan's cheek.
The Prince of Stan's face instantly turned bright red, clearly visible. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "What is she doing? Why is she treating this invader like this?" ]
[ Seven (Scissor Seven): "Oh, it's Cola." ]
[ Klee (Genshin Impact): "What is she doing?" ]
[ Jean (Genshin Impact): "Klee, don't look." ]
[ Klee (Genshin Impact): "Oh oh...." ]
[ .....]
『 At this moment, Cola extended a finger and said to the Prince of Stan:
"You kissed me, so you're mine now!"
"Give me some face, don't harm this island!"
The Prince of Stan was excitedly holding his knees, savoring the moment, when Cola spoke to him again.
The Prince of Stan turned and stared at Cola for a few seconds. A triangular mark on his mechanical arm flashed green.
He aimed directly at Cola.
Immediately after, Cola was enveloped by a ball of green energy.
Cola looked in surprise at the shield that had trapped her.
The green shield then flew off into the distance.
"Women, so troublesome!"
The Prince of Stan said at this moment. 』

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Abnormal, very abnormal." ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Before, he was always so rough, but this time he's so gentle?" ]
[ .....]
『 But at this moment.
"That sentence you just said!"
"Was disrespectful to women, wasn't it!"
The Prince of Stan turned to find the source of the voice, but couldn't see anyone after searching for a long time.
"In the name of the Purity Association, I declare!"
The Prince of Stan searched everywhere for the speaker but still couldn't find them.
"I will banish you from this island!"
The Prince of Stan slowly looked up, only to see an elderly woman descending from the sky, pouncing on him!
The Prince of Stan watched Director Jiang rush towards him. The flying device under his feet immediately carried him away from Director Jiang's attack.
"How does this guy have such immense strength?"
The Prince of Stan looked at the terrifying aura emanating from Director Jiang and was momentarily bewildered.
Right beside the Prince of Stan, the energy beam fired downwards by the flying device rapidly widened the cracks on Chicken Island's ground!
The mechanical device in the Prince of Stan's hand flashed purple, and a powerful energy beam aimed at Director Jiang.
A beam of energy shot straight towards Director Jiang's chest. Director Jiang watched the energy device rushing towards her, gritted her teeth, and firmly gripped the energy ball with both hands...
She was pushed back step by step by the glowing green energy ball.
"Ouch, oh my!" Director Jiang was furious and couldn't help but let out a roar.
Then, she slammed the energy ball towards the flying device that was drilling a hole in the distance.
"Oh no!" The Prince of Stan immediately realized something was wrong when he saw this.
He looked up and saw a large hole in the machine. The entire machine was out of control and plummeting down the mountain.
"You really infuriate me!" The Prince of Stan looked at Director Jiang, his tone unusually calm.
"Hmph! Me too!" Director Jiang's eyes under her straw hat were as sharp as a ghost's. She clenched her fists and glared at the Prince of Stan.
"As expected, taking his energy cannon head-on is still too strenuous!" Director Jiang appeared majestic on the surface, but in reality, she was at her wits' end.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
The Prince of Stan extended his mechanical arm and fired an energy bullet at Director Jiang.
"It's a homing missile!" Director Jiang immediately saw through the bullet's trick. She moved quickly, and the homing missile released by the Prince of Stan followed closely, never leaving her side.
"Let's die together, Four-Eyes Kid!" Director Jiang rushed to the Prince of Stan, pouncing like a fierce tiger.
"Activate maximum level shield!" The Prince of Stan's expression didn't change as he enveloped himself in a green protective shield.
"Shield?"
"I still can't protect all the women on the island."
Director Jiang looked at the maximum level shield in front of the Prince of Stan, a thought flashed through her mind, and then the projectile bang hit Director Jiang, causing an explosion.
As the smoke cleared...
The Prince of Stan looked at the huge crater on the ground, then canceled his protective shield.
Just then, a continuously spinning long blade suddenly appeared behind the Prince, flying straight towards him.
Thanks to the high-tech device under his feet, the Prince narrowly dodged the blow.
The Thousand Demon Daggers spun in the air, finally embedding themselves in Seven's back.
The Prince flexed his mechanical arm, confirmed it was unharmed, and turned to the newcomer.
"Director Jiang, you're too old for such exciting games!" Seven held Director Jiang like a princess. Director Jiang's face was flushed, and she looked at Seven's profile with gentle eyes.
"Wait until I deal with this Four-Eyes guy!" Seven said seriously to Director Jiang.
"I'll only charge you eighty-eight yuan!"
"Alright, you take a nap first!"
"I'll handle the rest!"
With that, Seven gently placed Director Jiang on the ground. Director Jiang's heart pounded, still seemingly immersed in Seven's handsome figure from moments ago.
Seven slowly walked towards the Prince of Stan.
Seeing this, the Prince immediately extended his mechanical arm, and a blood-like energy beam erupted from it.
He looked at Seven with a sinister grin.
Seven was not to be outdone, slowly raising the Thousand Demon Daggers in his hand.
The moment the blade was unsheathed, he swung it fiercely, slashing at the Prince of Stan.
The Prince scoffed as he blocked Seven's series of attacks. The two briefly retreated, then quickly charged at each other again!
Rewind a few dozen minutes earlier.
Seven had just received money from He Dachun,
"We're not taking this job!" Dai Bo flatly refused the mission.
"It's always been you, Dai Bo, choosing what jobs we take."
"But this time is different."....
"I genuinely want to do this job."
"Just let me be in charge this time!"
Seven said, casually tying up his hair, and spoke to Dai Bo.
"But if you go, you're practically jumping into a fire pit!"
"Do you know how strong the opponent is?!"
Dai Bo pointed at Seven, his eyes almost bulging out in urgency.
"If you don't risk it, how will you know the outcome!" Seven turned his head, his eyes firm as he spoke to Dai Bo.
As soon as Seven said this, Dai Bo took off his glasses.
"You, you really are somewhat similar to Da Fei!"
Memories made Dai Bo see another person's shadow in front of his eyes, overlapping with Seven.
Looking at Seven, Dai Bo's thoughts were tied up by the past.
"If you insist on going to your death, I'm too lazy to stop you..." Dai Bo muttered, opening a compartment door at the front of the wooden boat and rummaging inside.
"But you don't have a weapon, how are you going to fight for your life!" With that, Dai Bo pulled out a blade from inside and threw it directly at Seven.
Seven easily caught it, his gaze falling on Dai Bo's back.
"This blade, you probably used it before you lost your memory."
Seven held the long blade, Dai Bo's words echoing in his ears.
"What I told you before about your amnesia..."
"Saying we grew up together as childhood friends."
"Actually, I made it all up."
A hint of melancholy flashed in Dai Bo's eyes the moment he spoke the truth.
"Two years ago, I found you by the sea."
"You were almost dying then."
"Fortunately, that divine doctor saved you."
"But because of that, we owed a huge medical bill."
"That's why I tricked you into becoming an assassin, hoping to pay off the debt."
Dai Bo recalled everything from finding Seven by the sea until now, spilling all the facts.
"Even your name, Seven,"
"I just made it up."
At this point, Dai Bo turned to look behind him, only to find that Seven had already vanished.
"Oh no! He's already gone?"
"Did he not hear what I just said?"
Dai Bo then looked at Little Flying Chicken at the stern of the boat, pondering.
"Oh my! Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Little Flying Chicken, where did you run off to!"
Dai Bo watched Little Flying Chicken transform from a human form into a small blue bird with a whoosh, flying up into the sky, and anxiously shouted.
"You'd better come back!" Dai Bo stood alone on the boat, frantically shouting.
"When you get back, I'm going to wring your chicken leg off!"
Dai Bo yelled at the Little Flying Chicken, which had already flown far away, straining his voice.
At this moment, a vast expanse of dark clouds gathered over Chicken Island.
Seven watched the Prince of Stan slowly pull out the Thousand Demon Daggers. When Seven actually pulled out the blade, he was stunned.
Why?
The blade was covered in dense, tiny cracks. 』

[ Busujima Saeko (High School of the Dead): "What a strange blade." ]

[ Meihua Shisan (Scissor Seven): "However, there is one person who can use it." ]

『 And Seven in the scene was also very surprised.
"How did this blade get so broken!" Seven stared at the cracks in disbelief, lost in thought.
"Sigh, I can't worry about that so much anymore!"...
"Even if it's a broken firewood blade, I can still use it to deal with you, Four-Eyes!" Seven hoisted the Thousand Demon Daggers and shouted at the Prince of Stan.
As soon as his voice fell, the Prince of Stan made the first move, a laser beam shot towards Seven. Seven deftly dodged it.
Head down, butt up, like a stubborn donkey!
Immediately after, he raised his blade and slashed at the Prince of Stan.
A horizontal cut, a vertical cut...
Seven continuously attacked the Prince of Stan.
After a fierce battle between the two...
Standing back to back, Seven raised his blade high.
In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Demon Daggers clanged and shattered into pieces on the ground.
"Eh???"
"Dai Bo, you scoundrel, you really gave me a broken blade to trick me!" Seven held the hilt of the broken blade, too shocked to speak. 』

[ Meihua Shisan (Scissor Seven): "So, you are not him...." ]
[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "It shattered all over the place." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Can this weapon really be used?" ]
[ .....]
『 The Prince of Stan took advantage of Seven's distraction and suddenly thrust his sword.
Just as the Prince of Stan thought Seven was about to die by his blade, several spinning plum blossom darts flew towards him, making him quickly turn and strike them down one by one. The darts fell to the ground.
At that moment, Meihua Shisan descended from the sky, holding a long sword in one hand, and fiercely slashed at the Prince of Stan.
With Meihua Shisan's surprise attack, the Prince of Stan's clothes were cut open by the sword's edge. A breeze blew, and the Prince of Stan shivered all over from the cold.
The flying device he was standing on could dodge things on its own.
And it moved very fast!
Meihua Shisan leaned on Seven, propping herself up with one hand on the ground, pondering.
"Hey, Miss Mei, what a coincidence!"
"Are you also here on the mountaintop to enjoy the scenery?" Seven squatted beside Meihua Shisan, greeting her warmly. 』
