Chapter 171

"What are the three of you doing here!" Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Young Master is in trouble; we must protect him!"

One of the guardians spoke in a deep voice; he was burly, with a head full of white hair, sunken eye sockets, and an utterly sinister gaze.

Upon hearing this, the other two old men's faces all became solemn, and then they simultaneously surrounded Kuchiki Senya.

"So Tanaka Kotaro really is in trouble," Kuchiki Senya murmured in a low voice, then his face suddenly twisted into a grotesque expression; a wisp of scorching flame rose from Kuchiki Senya's right hand, quickly forming a fireball.

In the next instant, Kuchiki Senya hurled the fireball at the three guardians.

"Swish!"

The scorching fireball tore through the void, bringing destructive high temperatures, and instantly arrived before the three guardians.

"Damn it!"

The three guardians' faces changed, and then they slammed their double fists together forcefully.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying elemental power erupted, immediately transforming into a thick blue light shield blocking in front of the three.

"Boom!"

A violent roar suddenly rang out; that scorching fireball clashed against the blue light shield, and a terrifying shockwave, centered on the point where the two met, spread out in an arc, tearing everything within several zhang around to pieces like withered wood, while the ground cracked inch by inch.

"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"

Those three guardians' faces turned pale, then their bodies staggered back several steps, a trace of shock appearing in their eyes.

These three originally thought that with their combined strength they should be enough to withstand Kuchiki Senya's strike, but what they never expected was that they still could not match Kuchiki Senya.

The three of them combined were not Kuchiki Senya's match; this was simply unbelievable to them.

These were the Fourth Prince's personal guards; each possessed combat power at the Heaven-level Shinobi realm, and looking across the entire Konoha Village, only a handful of people were their match.

Yet now, even with their combined strength, they were not even a match for Kuchiki Senya's single move; it was truly horrifying!

Kuchiki Senya's expression was indifferent, and then he stepped forward toward the black tiger lying on the ground, wailing.

Although that black tiger was already on the verge of death, it still roared incessantly; its scarlet pupils were filled with ferocity, like a fierce wolf ready to devour people, quite terrifying.

Seeing Kuchiki Senya approach, the black tiger's body trembled, then it prostrated itself on the ground, exposing a posture of submission.

134. You're wise to know your place.

"Beast, you're wise to know your place."

Kuchiki Senya grinned; he did not harm the black tiger, then flicked his finger, and a golden sword qi instantly shot into the black tiger's head.

"Pfft!"

The black tiger's head instantly exploded, foul-smelling blood mixed with chunks of flesh spraying out, and then it lay there with its eyes wide open, refusing to close them in death.

"This is... what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, the two doctors' eyes bulged round; their faces were full of disbelief.

That black tiger was actually one-shot and instantly killed by the man before their eyes!

"This isn't scientific!" a young doctor cried out in a daze.

"Where in this world is there so much science?" that old guardian shook his head and sighed.

"Since you are determined to seek death, then today I will send you on your way." Kuchiki Senya gazed coldly at the three; his right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, causing the ground to immediately dip down, then a furious power spread along Kuchiki Senya's right leg, surging toward the three guardians.

"Whoosh!"

Kuchiki Senya's figure vanished; when he reappeared, he was already before one of the old men, then without hesitation struck a palm onto that old man's chest.

"Bang!"

That old man's chest immediately caved in, the cracking sound of bones breaking constantly emitting, then that old man's body flew backward, crashing heavily into a tree, spitting blood.

One palm, death!

"Hiss~~" Seeing this scene, the remaining two old men's faces all changed; they couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Is this guy really just a teenager? Why is the oppressive feeling he gives so great?

"Brat, you dare to act!"

That old guardian roared angrily, his figure flashing, rushing to Kuchiki Senya's front as fast as lightning.

Then he swung his right arm, and immense elemental power instantly gathered on his palm.

A dazzling, huge blue light claw instantly condensed, then fiercely clawed at Kuchiki Senya's shoulder.

Kuchiki Senya frowned slightly, flicked his fingers with his right hand, and then another fireball whistled out.

"Boom!"

Another violent explosion sound rang out, then intense, blinding light bloomed; a massive mushroom cloud slowly rose, and the surrounding lawn and ground were all overturned.

One strike, once again severely injuring one person, even breaking several ribs!

This old guardian was covered in blood; he struggled to stand up, looking at Kuchiki Senya with eyes full of malice.

At the same time, his heart secretly trembled; Kuchiki Senya's strength far exceeded his expectations, far surpassing ordinary Upper Ninja realm experts, even vaguely reaching the Elite Upper Ninja level.

"Brat, who exactly are you!" that old guardian asked in a cold voice.

Kuchiki Senya was too lazy to pay attention to him; he continued lifting his foot to walk toward the direction where the black tiger was.

"Stop him, quickly stop him!" the old guardian shouted urgently.

Hearing the old guardian's words, the two young doctors around immediately rushed toward Kuchiki Senya.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A dull collision sound rang out, then they were all kicked away by Kuchiki Senya like sandbags, falling heavily to the ground, then coughing mouthful after mouthful, blood overflowing from mouth and nose, suffering not light injuries.

"You two wastes!" Seeing Kuchiki Senya so cleanly and decisively deal with those two young doctors, that old guardian immediately became furious; he cursed loudly.

These two wastes were actually so useless, unable even to block Kuchiki Senya for a moment.

"Hmph!" Kuchiki Senya glanced at the old guardian, his eyes cold as ice.

"Brat, I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes, ensuring you never achieve rebirth for eternity!" the old guardian ground his teeth, speaking with hatred.

"Smack!"

Kuchiki Senya suddenly raised his right foot and stomped directly on the right ankle of that elderly guardian.

Then, a terrifying, boundless surge of energy erupted from Kuchiki Senya's foot. The elderly guardian's right ankle twisted instantly, and with a crisp *crack*, his right wrist was completely shattered.

"Ah!"

A piercing, bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out. The elderly guardian was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, his face even paler, clearly enduring immense agony.

Kuchiki Senya snorted coldly, then released his foot and turned to leave.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Two piercing sounds suddenly rang out as two long blades slashed toward Kuchiki Senya from the left and right respectively.

Kuchiki Senya threw a backhanded punch. A powerful gust of wind howled out, then slammed hard into the two long blades, producing a crisp "clang." Immediately after, the two long blades were sent flying backward, embedding themselves in the soil far away.

Another old man took the opportunity to break free from the bindings Kuchiki Senya had just left, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he rushed toward Kuchiki Senya. His speed was extremely swift, like Lei Ting itself.

"Whoosh!" Kuchiki Senya's figure eerily shifted sideways a distance, dodging the old man's attack.

"Hm?" The old man's brow rose slightly, as if sensing something was off.

Because he felt that Kuchiki Senya's speed had suddenly increased several times over, already catching up to his own peak period.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but he didn't pay it much mind, because he believed Kuchiki Senya must have employed some secret method or elixir to briefly gain powerful strength.

However, this posed no threat to him at all. Even so, he would still kill him, and then lead them back to Konoha Village.

520 "Boom!"

"Thud!"

"Crack!"

"Thud!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

One fierce collision after another and the sounds of bones breaking rang out continuously. The elderly guardian's figure kept retreating, and every few meters he retreated, he would spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood. In the end, he was kicked flying.

Soon, the elderly guardian had retreated beyond a hundred meters. His figure staggered as he steadied himself, his face incomparably pale, gasping for breath. He stared at Kuchiki Senya with horrified eyes, filled with shock and fear.

"Damned thing, I will absolutely not let you get away with this!" The elderly guardian glared viciously at Kuchiki Senya and growled lowly.

"I'll be waiting. I also want to know exactly how you won't let me get away with it?" Kuchiki Senya gave a mocking smile and said in an icy tone.

"Little brat, do you know what a monstrous crime you've committed now?" The elderly guardian took a deep breath, calmed his violently pounding heart, then said through gritted teeth: "You killed Fujiwara Hirono, and you will pay the price."

"Fujiwara Hirono? Who?" Kuchiki Senya said, puzzled.

"The head of Konoha's Three Legendary Shinobi, Fujiwara Shingo's father, and also the only high-level ninja in this town." The elderly guardian said.

"Oh? Is that so? How convenient. Today I'll kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and let all the ninjas in this city know what a foolish thing it is to provoke me." Kuchiki Senya nodded, then said lightly.

135, Arrogant — truly arrogant to the extreme
