Chapter 64 Fierce Battle
One of the Hidden Mist ninjas was lost as soon as they landed on the island.
He was nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead; a perfectly healthy person simply vanished without a trace.
No one knew when he was murdered.
The sea breeze at the end of December was a bit cold, sending chills down one's spine.
"I warned you, those two are difficult to deal with."
Mei Terumi secretly prepared her magic, wary of any possible attack.
"Hmph!" Kushimaru Kurihara scanned the area, searching for any possible clues left by the enemy:
"That rat that only hides in the shadows and hurts people, watch how I catch it."
He began to form hand seals, then slammed his palms down onto the ground.
"Earth Release: Dragon's Journey!"
He did indeed find traces left by Mo Jingxian; besides the ice shield, there were also subtle clues on the ground indicating the use of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).
The earth was shaking, as if a great dragon was rolling underground, turning the stable ground into a pot of boiling porridge.
Kushimaru Kurihara is proficient in taijutsu, but he is not ignorant of ninjutsu, and Earth Release happens to be one of the attributes he has mastered.
The spell worked, and a dark figure emerged from behind them.
The moment he appeared, the attacks came one after another.
Kurihara Kushimaru's long needle pierced his chest, while Terumi Mei's Boil Release was only a step too slow.
The result was far beyond their expectations.
It wasn't an enemy, but rather Haif, who had just disappeared.
At this moment, his misery was beyond description; even in death, his body was whipped by the two men.
In the end, he was left with no remains.
A surge of immense anger rose within him; no one had ever dared to toy with him like this before.
"You'd better never..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, a series of applause came from not far away.
"Brilliant!" Mo Jingxian finally appeared, clapping his hands. "Truly a brilliant escape technique."
The three of them suddenly turned around and looked at the boy.
When Kurihara Kushimaru and Mo Jingxian's gazes met in mid-air,
"It's you!" Kushimaru Kurihara subconsciously took a step back, and the memory of that scene from half a year ago became clear again.
"Ugh—" Another Mistman was ambushed, and an arrow pierced his heart.
The moment Mo Jingxian appeared, and the others were instantly drawn to him,
The attack came suddenly and without warning.
"Sorry," Mo Jingxian shrugged, "You guys have lost another teammate. Ugh, so damn sorry."
The enemy, lurking in the shadows, silently reaped the hidden enemies like the Grim Reaper, but the two on the field had roughly figured out the pattern of the sneak attacks.
It's a stealthy attack, but not very powerful, and doesn't pose much of a threat to Jonin-level ninjas.
However, it is extremely effective at eliminating ninjas below the Chunin level.
Thinking about this, Kushimaru Kurihara regretted not heeding the advice and letting his two subordinates lose their lives in vain.
He knew that Mo Jingxian was acting this way only to provoke him.
Controlling his anger, he calmed himself down again.
"What a small world." Kurisugi Kushimaru looked Mo Jingxian over again, and suddenly smiled:
"You really fooled me last time. That kind of state shouldn't be your usual method, right?"
He stared intently into Mo Jingxian's eyes as he spoke.
"Let me guess... the price must be very high, right?"
Terumi Mei didn't understand what it meant, but Mo Jingxian did.
As expected of an elite ninja from Kirigakure, the other party was able to analyze the intelligence with great accuracy after just one encounter.
The brief exchange wasn't for reminiscing.
Both sides were secretly preparing to outmaneuver each other.
At some point, the ninja sword in Kushimaru Kurihara's hand disappeared.
When it reappeared, it suddenly burst forth from the ground beneath Mo Jingxian's feet and cleaved him in two.
At the same time, four ice pillars rose from the ground around Kushimaru Kurishari and Mei Terumi, covered with dense runes.
Both sides tacitly chose to launch the attack from underground, and started almost simultaneously.
Mo Jingxian split into two, each facing off against the two people within the sealing technique.
The four ice pillars covered in runes looked formidable, and Mei Terumi immediately unleashed "Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique".
Extreme heat descended upon them, engulfing both of their oncoming forms.
The icicles were melting, and the clone vanished without a sound.
The power of the bloodline limit truly lives up to its reputation and is incredibly valuable.
The two attacks took less than a second, and chaotic chakra and ninjutsu filled the space.
Without a sound, another arrow appeared behind Mei Terumi like a ghost.
Mei Terumi had anticipated this move and had heightened her senses to the maximum.
As she dodged the arrows, she finally caught a fleeting glimpse of a hem of clothing in the dense forest to the west.
"Come out!" Mei Terumi shouted angrily and chased after him into the dense forest.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"Come out." Kushimaru Kurihara stared at a certain spot ahead.
"You know those petty tricks won't hurt me, so why not have a proper fight?"
"That's a pretty good suggestion."
Mo Jingxian appeared from behind the tree with a smile, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.
He has not forgotten who caused him to lose fifty years of his life.
The situation was too urgent at the time, and even if he killed them, he might not be able to save them. He didn't believe that a ninja who could infiltrate the enemy's core area didn't have one or two backup plans.
Besides, the situation at the time was also suspicious. How did the two of them sneak in?
This matter itself is highly suspicious.
He had no idea how much filth was involved, but by divine intervention, they met again today.
Perfect, I can also take this opportunity to test my recent cultivation progress.
Mo Jingxian was filled with murderous intent, and her frost armor gradually covered her entire body.
The densely packed scales, each containing the power of water and wind, are connected by three runes: "Solid," "Dispersion," and "Conduction," forming a stable structure.
Its shoulders and wrists transformed into the shape of a dragon, and even its head was completely covered, with a frost-covered mask appearing below its eyes.
He went all out from the start, revealing his strongest trump card.
This Ice Scale Armor is different from the Cloud Ninja's Layton Chakra Cloak; it follows the path of combining bloodline limit and sealing runes.
It's somewhat like a hybrid ninjutsu, but more complex.
Similarly, Mo Jingxian's ninjutsu has an even higher ceiling; to this day, he has not yet seen the end of this technique.
When enemies meet, there are no wasted words; the first move is aimed at killing.
"Ding ding ding!"
As soon as the fighting began, the sound of weapons clashing filled the air.
The two fought with lightning speed, exchanging blows several times in the blink of an eye.
Kushimaru Kurihara is renowned in the ninja world for his taijutsu, and speed is his greatest strength.
He once made a name for himself with his elusive and unpredictable movements.
Enemies who fight him often lose their lives before they even realize where the attack is coming from.
A difference of just a hair's breadth in speed can mean the difference between life and death.
Chestnut-flavored meatballs are a one-trick pony, and can be enjoyed anywhere in the world.
But today, his opponent, Mo Jingxian, is just as fast as him.
His opponent not only kept up with his attack rhythm, but even had the strength to counterattack.
Moreover, the strength and angle of his counterattacks are the most difficult points for him to exert his strength, which makes it very difficult for him to cope.
A layer of flowing wind clung to the outer layer of Mo Jingxian's ice scale armor, moving so fast that it left afterimages.
With his mastery of wind elements reaching the intermediate level, Mo Jingxian could perceive even the slightest airflow disturbance within a ten-meter radius.
Suddenly!
The ninja sword, Sewing Needle, broke through Mo Jingxian's defenses and swiftly stabbed towards his heart.
He seemed not to see it, as if he had completely given up his defense.
With his four fingers together and his waist arched, he thrust forward and pierced through the heart of Kurihara Kushimaru.
This is a fight where you risk your life.
The ninja sword needle struck the ice scale armor, but was initially deflected by the airflow, turning a straight thrust into a slanted cut.
The sealing runes activate the instant the Ice Scale Armor is attacked.
"Sturdy" is responsible for withstanding most attacks.
The remaining attack power is distributed among the remaining ice scales by "Disperse".
The force of the "conduction" attack was transmitted layer by layer, eventually sinking into the ground beneath Mo Jingxian's feet.
Kurihara Kushimaru's attack only left a scratch on the ice scale armor.
Moreover, the repair of the marks was visible to the naked eye, and Mo Jingxian's ninjutsu completely suppressed Kurisuki Maru's abilities.
To put it bluntly, this "technique" was something Mo Jingxian had prepared for him for a long time.
Even if they wanted to evacuate now, it would be too late; in terms of speed, the two were about the same.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The two moved so fast that they were just blurry shadows, constantly chasing and fighting each other in the mountains and forests.
Mo Jingxian seized the opportunity and once again risked her life for another.
Kushimaru Kurihara was in a real bind. He couldn't break through his opponent's defenses, while his opponent could kill him at any moment.
The ninja sword in his hand sacrificed some of its lethality for speed; it was never meant to be powerful.
If the Wild Bait Man from Tongcao came, perhaps he could break through that ice armor.
But he was truly powerless to do anything about it.
"puff!"
Mo Jingxian's palm strike sliced open the enemy's neck, but he didn't stop. His body was surrounded by wind elements, and he shot rapidly toward the two o'clock position.
Kushimaru, whose neck had been severed, turned into mud, while his true form appeared a few meters away in the southeast direction.
next moment.
A palm strike, gleaming with cold light, slashed in from the side, the person bursting in from his blind spot.
The timing was perfect, coinciding with the cooldown period of his Unearthed Clone skill.
The surrounding wind elements transmitted real-time information to Mo Jingxian, and no disturbance in the airflow could escape his perception.
Although Kushimaru Kurihara escaped a fatal attack, he ended up in danger as a result.
As a veteran elite ninja who fought his way up, he never lacked the courage to risk his life.
At crucial moments, he also abandoned defense.
He unleashed the full speed of the ninja sword, stabbing towards the enemy's right eye in an instant.
The distance was too close, and Kurihara Kushimaru's attacks were extremely decisive.
Mo Jingxian instinctively tilted her head to dodge the long needle's attack, her ninja sword grazing the edge of her ice helmet and kicking up a cloud of ice shards.
Only after the attack did I hear the piercing sound of air being ripped apart.
At the same time, Mo Jingxian's palm sliced open Li Xian Chuan Wan's left arm.
The attack is not over yet.
The end of the ninja sword, Long Needle, was already connected to a steel wire. As he dodged, Kushimaru Kurihara controlled the steel wire to spin.
The long needle turned around in mid-air, wrapped around Mo Jingxian, and was bound with several explosive talismans.
At the cost of losing his left arm, Kurihan Kushimaru finally captured Mo Jingxian.
He certainly wouldn't let go of such an easy opportunity; with just one handprint, the special explosive tags detonated one after another.
"Boom boom boom..."
