Chapter 8: Starting from your Hyper Kabuto, tell the Knight Association that I, Decade, have arrived!

"As long as I die."

Su Jing fell silent for a moment.

The person who had always silently supported him from behind, the one who would say "Welcome back" after every battle.

And now it had come to this? Just two years, and truly such a tremendous change?

To the point she didn't care in the slightest about the outcome of his death! Even though she clearly knew he detested worms the most.

Yet she still acquiesced to it.

"Heh~"

"Looks like my earlier judgment wasn't wrong."

"I really should make a trip to Kyoto~"

"Trial! I'd like to see how she, Yan Qingxue, intends to judge me!"

His gaze turned icy.

Then he directly drew the Kunai Gun.

Although he had already accepted reality, he was still somewhat depressed by the impermanence of worldly affairs.

So now he struck even more ruthlessly.

After all, if Yan Qingxue hadn't directly ordered the Worm to mimic him.

Then it was Lu Qingzhou's own decision! The decision that disgusted him the most! So this guy must die!! No one can save him! I, Decade, say so! The Kunai Gun immediately slashed out rapidly, slicing across the Hyper Kabuto's body before him in a single breath.

A cold gleam swept across the golden armor, sending up a dazzling spray of sparks.

Immediately after, Su Jing raised his right leg directly and delivered a straight kick that slammed into the opponent's chest.

The force sent the Hyper Kabuto's body flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

The tremendous impact caused cracks to spread across the wall in a web-like pattern, and Lu Qingzhou collapsed to the ground in pain.

Tap, tap!

In his Clock Up state, Su Jing walked over with slow, heavy footsteps: "So you did collaborate with the Worm!"

"The Knight Association's bottom-line regulations—fighting Monsters to the death—looks like you've forgotten them?"

Tap, tap!

Tap, tap!

Those heavy footsteps seemed to land right on Lu Qingzhou's chest.

His body jolted instantly.

The threat of death hung over him like a scythe at his neck, and he hurriedly said: "Su Jing! This world isn't all about fighting and killing!"

"We and the Monsters aren't locked in a fight to the death!"

"Clearly we can cooperate with the Monsters—after all, much of our Knight power is essentially the same as theirs, isn't it!"

"Besides, I'm not the only one cooperating! Now it's the ones who don't cooperate who seem strange!"

Su Jing immediately frowned: "Ridiculous! A monster is a monster—one day a monster, a lifetime a monster!!"

"But if that's the case—"

"What I sensed back then wasn't wrong—you guys really did collaborate with the Monsters!"

"So when I proposed starting an internal investigation, you all conspired together about the Holy Blade matter, didn't you!"

"Yes, Speaker Yan contacted me and had me arrange this!" Lu Qingzhou gasped heavily.

He was answering obediently now, hoping to use the chance to catch his breath.

Otherwise he'd be beaten to death in one combo!

Su Jing didn't mind, simply continuing to ask: "Why choose the Holy Blade?"

Lu Qingzhou froze at the words, head lowered, saying nothing.

"Can't say? Does it involve your secrets?" Su Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately realized something.

"In other words, choosing the Holy Blade wasn't random—he had to die. Could it be… he discovered something?"

"Like your collaboration with the Worm!"

"Logically speaking, he shouldn't belong to your Jianghuai Association—he came to help, but stumbled onto something during the process, right?"

Monsters have territorial instincts and don't encroach on each other.

But that's only in theory; Monsters like the Worm still appear in other cities, like Kyoto.

When that happens, the Jianghuai Association sends people to help.

In theory, the Holy Blade came to the Jianghuai Association the same way.

So why choose him to die?

The best explanation is this!

He discovered something! And sure enough—

The Lu Qingzhou before him suddenly erupted: "Su Jing!" "I've changed my mind—you die here!"

"Anyway, Speaker Yan only wants the outcome of your death; as for the trial in ten days, she couldn't care less!"

His right fist shot out swiftly.

But Su Jing merely casually swung the Kunai Gun to block.

Then he slightly raised his eyes: "Looks like I guessed right."

"But have me die here? You?"

"You, gasping for breath like that—can you even keep up with me!"

The instant his voice fell! He swiftly raised the Kunai Gun and slashed out in rapid succession.

The fierce strikes slammed into the Hyper Kabuto's body.

The Clock Up ability is indeed effective against Riders who cannot accelerate.

But it has no effect against Kabuto.

Since both possess Clock Up, it comes down to skill.

And obviously, Lu Qingzhou cannot win against him!

Boom!!

"Ah!"

Lu Qingzhou was blasted away in pain, his body slamming heavily onto the ground.

"That's enough!" Su Jing tossed aside the Kunai Gun, then clapped his hands.

And Lu Qingzhou was indeed barely able to stand.

"Damn it!"

"How could this happen!"

"Your body suddenly recovered!"

"Why did you suddenly gain this pink Rider power!"

"Why can this Rider transform into Kabuto, and even master our Jianghuai Association's Clock Up technology!"

"What exactly is this Rider!"

That's a death sentence, Su Jing sneered coldly, quickly drawing a card from his card case: "I no longer belong to the Knight Association."

"So from now on, I am just a passing Kamen Rider. Remember that!"

【Final Attack Ride! K-K-K-Kabuto!】 Instantly, lightning-like power manifested from the Driver at his waist, gathering at the horn on his head, charging up the Rider Kick!

Seeing this, Lu Qingzhou shouted urgently: "Su Jing! Wait!"

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, you will completely confirm the crime of killing a comrade! Without trial, the Knight Association will directly order your execution!"

Su Jing smiled, a hint of disdain on his lips: "That's fine, just as I wish!"

"The Knight Association I founded has already betrayed my original will! There is no need for it to exist anymore!"

"I, Decade, will destroy it with my own hands!"

"You!" Seeing Su Jing stubborn and determined to kill him.

The lightning-like power rapidly gathered at his leg, charging the Rider Kick.

Lu Qingzhou had no choice and forced his body up.

"Don't even think about it!"

He rushed forward quickly, throwing a right fist to stop Su Jing's charge.

But Su Jing simply sidestepped, shifting his position.

Without turning back, he spun around for a kick!

"Hah!"

The lightning-like power erupted outward.

The Sun God Kabuto's signature spinning kick struck the Gatack before him without holding back! Let's start with you, Gatack!

Tell the Knight Association, those so-called common wills—

I, the World Destroyer Decade, have arrived!! Boom!!

Fire and explosion, shockwaves surging.

【Clock Over】 (Clock Up ended!)

Everything around that had stopped returned to normal! Amidst the fire.

Gatack's body had already vanished.

Only the Gatack Card lay on the ground.
