Chương 27: Daring to Fight Back

A flash of white light shot out, and the blade of the Kusanagi sword rapidly extended, its tip thrusting towards Yura's brow like a white bolt of lightning, piercing through Yura's forehead without any obstruction.

This is an afterimage!

In that instant, time seemed to slow down. Hui Shiju's pupils trembled as he looked down at Yura, who was crouching with her sword drawn. Beneath her robes, the muscles in her thighs were taut, her toes gripping the ground...

Oops...

The Kusanagi sword was still rapidly extending. At this juncture, there was no time to swing the Kusanagi sword to change moves and defend. The longer the sword, the more difficult it was to control. The Kusanagi sword could not bend or turn, making its sword path very rigid.

The Kusanagi sword is only suitable for surprise attacks; if a single strike fails to achieve its purpose, it will reveal a fatal weakness.

A contest between swordsmen is a contest of skill and strength, mind and body.

Without hesitation, Koujiro loosened his grip on the Kusanagi sword and reached for the second sword at his waist...

Just then, Jieluo leaped out from the ground.

Chakra is refined and gathered, concentrated at a single point on the toes, released and exploded, combined with the bending of the knees, the person has already shot down from the ground like a ghost.

Kusanagi-style Body Flicker Technique: Divine Speed It is a physical technique called Instantaneous Body Technique that Jieluo has only recently learned from the secret teachings.

This is a "pushing" motion that uses all the muscles and chakra of the body to concentrate the power at the point of the big toe.

Concentrating chakra to this level is an extremely difficult technique, but Yura's entire body is filled with demonic power, and that Chunin-level chakra can flow freely under the guidance of demonic power.

In the blink of an eye—no, less than the blink of an eye—Jie Luo's figure suddenly appeared before them.

At that moment, Hui Shiliu opened his eyes wide, only to see a beautiful, blood-red blade flash before his eyes.

Life and death... are already decided.

Hui opened his mouth sixteen times, his blood pressure imbalance causing blood to gush out. He tried to say something, but only painful sobs choked in his throat. His vision blurred, and a slash wound appeared on his chest, spreading from his left shoulder to his right hip, slowly splitting open and separating flesh from bone...

Before him, the crouching Jieluo rose, turned her back to Hui Shiliu, and swung her sword, Blood Vibration. Rows of blood splattered onto the pristine white paper door, a shocking sight.

Behind him, the upper and lower halves of Hui Shiliu's body slowly separated, and the sound of the Kusanagi sword falling to the ground rang out.

He returned the sword to its blade.

With one hand on the hilt of the sword, Jieluo let out a soft laugh.

Outside the paper door, the red light in the courtyard flickered, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds as the ninjas arrived in an instant. The dark shadows, illuminated by the firelight, were reflected on the paper door. A sharp whistle rang out, and malice rushed towards them.

In the courtyard, numerous Kusanagi clan ninjas drew their swords, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they stared at the conspicuous bloodstains on the paper door.

"You..." With his last breath, Hui Shiliu struggled to utter, "You..." His eyes were filled with a crazed killing intent. With his last strength, he formed a sword with his remaining right hand. On the tatami, the Kusanagi sword, which had been controlled to shrink back to its original length, trembled and slowly rose off the ground.

However, just as it lifted off the ground, a bare little foot stepped down, pressing it firmly to the ground.

Hui Shiliu's eyes widened in resentment, he coughed up blood, and stared intently at Jie Luo's back.

This time, it was his turn to look up.

The other person didn't even turn around to look again, as if they were casually crushing an ant, completely unconcerned.

My vision gradually blurred until the world was plunged into darkness.

Kneeling in the corner, Shen Yue didn't dare to utter a sound. His original plan was to use the power of the young patriarch of the Hero Clan to seize the secret scrolls and the Kusanagi Sword of the Kusanagi Clan. However, he didn't expect that a ruthless star would appear halfway through, and he would fall into the hands of the other party, his life and death out of his own hands.

Yura looked down at the Sky Blade, which had fallen completely silent on the ground.

This knife is functionally identical to her own hair, and it's far less useful than her own hair. Now that she already has Onikiri, it's a complete waste for Yura, so she might as well make use of it.

With a thud, the Kusanagi sword rose into the air, and Yura immediately kicked out, the kick landing smoothly on the blade with a crisp clang. The Kusanagi sword then spun and shot towards Shingetsu.

With a raised hand, Shen Yue grabbed the Kusanagi sword and looked at Jie Luo with a puzzled expression.

As for subordinates, it's natural to give them a beating and a sweet treat.

"Go, bring me the secret scroll and the spirit communication scroll," Jieluo said.

"It is yours now."

Shen Yue lowered her head, naturally knelt on one knee, and responded, "Ha!"

Jieluo turned her head and looked at the ninjas who had been summoned outside the paper door. Their hair grew wildly and twisted behind them, transforming into reaping scythes.

A deathly silence fell over the scene. Without the clan leader's orders, the ninjas dared not act on their own and gathered in the courtyard, waiting to see how things would unfold.

Then, death came without warning.

First, the door suddenly cracked open in front of them. The pupils of all the ninjas shrank in unison. Their brains realized that danger was coming, but their bodies had no time to react.

An invisible blade swept across the courtyard, and in an instant, dozens of ninjas wielding swords gathered in the courtyard were sliced in two, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror, as large spurts of blood sprayed out.

In the blink of an eye, the scene abruptly transformed into a hellish landscape, with ninjas cut in half at the waist lying on the ground, their severed bodies scattered everywhere, accompanied by agonizing and desperate cries.

The ninjas standing on the walls, artificial hills, and rooftops all around, their pupils contracted sharply as they watched the bloody scene before them, their eyes widening in horror.

The next second, accompanied by a sharp scream, a ninja suddenly left the wall, his whole body hanging in mid-air as if he were being lifted up. In the dark cave, the torchlight flickered and swayed. Blood mixed with internal organs flowed from the protruding hole in the ninja's abdomen, which was hanging in mid-air. He screamed as he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the second ninja rose from the ground, and the third ninja...

Only then did it seem as if it had been jolted awake from some kind of nightmare, its piercing howl tearing through the air.

"Enemy attack—!!"

As Jieluo stepped out of the house, her crimson eyes scanned her surroundings. She looked at the ninjas who were rapidly approaching through the darkness and firelight, and sighed with some distress.

How long will it take to cut this?

never mind...

Take your time chopping; consider it practice for your knife skills.

Anyway, I'm used to killing people.

It's only a few hundred people, it'll be over quickly.

With a whooshing sound, the projectile rod-shaped shuriken shot out and landed around Jieluo. With a crisp clang, it fell limply to the ground in the void around Jieluo.

Yura tossed her hair, and wisps of eerie blue flames ignited and swirled within it. Turning her head, her scarlet eyes fixed on the several ninjas who were throwing shuriken.

Hellish screams echoed all around. As they looked at the hellish girl, the ninjas swallowed their saliva of fear, their hands trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out, and the magnificent house behind Jieluo instantly turned into a burning torch, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the surroundings. The firelight, like ghosts, flickered and danced wildly on Jieluo's face and body, and the scarlet sparks danced like fireflies in the sky.

Jieluo smiled faintly, watching the ninja who had launched the sneak attack.

"Do you want to try dying once?"

He floated off the ground, his eight legs supporting him, and his scarlet eyes scanned the area, spotting a ninja who was forming hand seals.

Not only did you not resist, but you even dared to fight back. You're the one.

His body floated and sank slightly. The next second, his figure suddenly disappeared into thin air in the eyes of the ninjas.

Black Secret Technique. External Style. Divine Speed Eight legs exert force, eight cylinders start.

Suddenly, a death scream erupted. Turning around, all that could be seen was a fleeting black shadow and a corpse that had been instantly cleaved into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Aaaaaahh...

In everyone's eyes, terror and despair surged.
