Chapter 372: Despair

"Heavens, Master Uchiha Obito has been killed."

"How could this be? Master Uchiha Obito's ninjutsu is so formidable, how could he still fail to defeat that Chinese person?"

"It's over. The Mushroom Bomb couldn't kill that Shenzhou person, and Master Uchiha Obito couldn't defeat him either. Is he invincible? How could such a terrifying figure exist in this world?"

"Surrender. Just like we surrendered to Meili Country back then; submitting to the strong is not shameful. It is better than national extinction."

"No, we still have strong individuals in Dongying. Master Kamo no Tadayuki is our top Onmyoji in Dongying. Now that a powerful enemy has invaded, where is he? Why hasn't he come out to fight yet?"

"Master Kamo no Tadayuki, please, for the sake of Dongying, come out and eliminate the Chinese person."

Uchiha Obito was dead. This cruel scene was broadcast in real-time to every household in Dongying, dealing a heavy blow to the morale of the entire nation.

Real-time broadcasting of the battle situation is a double-edged sword. The good side is that it can gather the Living Beings Faith Power of hundreds of millions of Dongying commoners and bestow it upon the nation's strong, greatly increasing their power and even allowing them to fight above their rank.

The bad side, as is the case now, is that because of Uchiha Obito's death, many Dongying commoners have already felt despair, even thinking that they should surrender as soon as possible and do everything in their power to satisfy the strong person's demands to avoid further sacrifice.

Uchiha Obito was the fastest, so he came to fight first; following closely behind him were a large number of Ninja and Onmyoji.

Soon, Fireballs, Vines, stone dragons, earth bullets, gold blades, black mist, water arrows, and so on—a barrage of Nine Elements ninjutsu and Onmyoji spells—enveloped Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.

Seeing so many strong individuals go into battle, the confidence of the Dongying commoners rose once again. They clasped their hands together and prayed one after another, longing for these strong individuals to kill those two powerful Chinese people.

Regarding the incoming attacks, Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng both looked on with disdain.

"Are you here to be funny? Even First-Grade Ninja and Onmyoji are here to throw their lives away."

The Uchiha Obito from just a moment ago had erupted with his full strength, and combined with the Living Beings Faith Power, he had barely been able to cause some damage to Meng Yifan.

But the group of low-level Ninja and Onmyoji who had arrived now—the attacks they unleashed looked very flashy, and the light and shadow effects were quite good, but the energy contained within these attacks was very weak. Even if Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng stood there without moving and let them attack at will, they would be unable to break their defenses.

Meng Yifan felt a bit bored and casually waved his right hand. A gust of cyan wind blew past, and the Fireballs, Vines, stone dragons, earth bullets, gold blades, black mist, water arrows, and so on unleashed by the Ninja and Onmyoji all vanished like smoke.

Not only that, but the cyan wind continued to blow forward. The group of low-level Ninja and Onmyoji felt a large number of tiny, sharp blades within the wind, slicing their bodies into a thousand pieces.

"No, my eyes are blinded! My face, the flesh on my face is being sliced off!"

"Quick, cast defensive spells to block this terrifying wind!"

Defensive ninjutsu similar to Earth Flow Wall were cast, but it was useless. The breeze unleashed by Meng Yifan possessed powerful cutting ability; all the spells blocking its path were destroyed by it like dry wood snapping.

This breeze engulfed all the Ninja and Onmyoji, and a gruesome scene unfolded. They were like victims of Lingchi; slices of flesh were cut off. No matter how they dodged or struggled, it was useless. They could only emit bursts of painful wails, watching helplessly as their flesh was continuously sliced away.

A few seconds later, all the Ninja and Onmyoji who had dared to fight were sliced into white bones by the tiny Wind Blades, and then even the bones were cut into bone powder, blown away by the wind, and completely vanished from the human world.

In the eyes of the Dongying commoners, Meng Yifan had merely waved his hand, a gust of wind had blown past, and then that group of powerful Ninja and Onmyoji had been sliced into powder. This dealt another massive blow to them.

"How could this be? How could an Immortal Cultivator from Shenzhou be so terrifying?"

"Too powerful, there is simply no way to resist. This is not something a human can do. Is he a deity? Was he sent by Heaven to punish us?"

"Surrender. We cannot defeat such a strong person; even if Kamo no Tadayuki comes out, it will just be throwing his life away."

The Dongying commoners were very pessimistic; nearly half of them wanted to surrender. This is the nature of the Dongying people: on one hand, when they fight, they are very bloodthirsty, just like the Kamikaze Special Attack Force, piloting planes to launch suicide attacks.

On the other hand, when facing a strong person they cannot defeat, they will completely submit, like slaves, submitting to the strong and serving the powerful enemy who caused them great harm with all their hearts.

In this process, Dongying will quietly lick its wounds, gather strength, humbly learn the abilities of the strong, and then, at the right moment, leap up and defeat the former powerful enemy with cruel means.

For thousands of years, Dongying has always walked this path; this is the survival wisdom of Dongying.

Now, many Dongying people are already longing to find ways to learn the cultivation methods of Shenzhou and engage in Cultivating Immortality and Seeking the Dao after submitting to these two powerful Immortal Cultivators.

"No, we still have Master Kamo no Tadayuki. He is very powerful, powerful beyond your imagination; he will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese people."

"Master Kamo no Tadayuki, please come out and fight. You are the leader of the Japan Cultivation World, why are you still hiding?"

"For the dignity of Dongying, Master Kamo no Tadayuki, we beg you to come out and fight. Even if we die standing, we will not live kneeling."

Online, there were also many Dongying commoners who were unwilling to surrender. They pinned their last hope on Master Kamo no Tadayuki, longing for him to defeat these two invaders.

After eliminating the Ninja and Onmyoji blocking the way, Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng continued to move toward Yasukuni Shrine.

Perhaps because of the gruesome death of the Ninja and Onmyoji, that group of soldiers who had originally been hot-headed also became completely terrified. Although their superiors ordered them to continue fighting, when they saw the figures of Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, they all trembled so much that they couldn't even hold their guns steady.

Some soldiers even threw down their weapons and prostrated themselves before Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng as if facing Heaven's gods.

"Xiaoquan, what are you doing? That is our enemy! Why are you kneeling on the ground? Stand up quickly and fire the Rocket!"

"It's useless. The Rockets we fire cannot cause them any damage at all. They are an invincible existence; why must we still resist?" Xiaoquan Jilang said dejectedly.

"Baka! Xiaoquan Jilang, I order you to stand up and continue fighting! If you dare to disobey orders again, I will shoot you dead!" That Major officer held his pistol against Xiaoquan Jilang's head, forcing him to continue fighting.
