Chapter 872

"Get lost! Bagua Palm!"

Facing enemies whose attack angles grew increasingly tricky, Lin Cheng's strikes unconsciously grew heavier as well; he even resorted to techniques he had not yet perfectly mastered, all to prevent them from completing their encirclement and harming Little Jue nearby.

"Tch, what a pain! I wasn't planning to use my trump card move at a time like this!"

"All you Mist ninja, have a taste of Konoha's specialty—Cyclone Ultra-Spicy Meatballs!"

From the moment the Mist ninja launched their ambush, a portion of them had been specifically assigned to hold off Jiraiya.

Regarding this famed one of the Three Legendary Sannin, the Mist ninja pursuit unit never imagined they could actually defeat him; they had only one tactic—to use their own lives to slow Jiraiya's advance.

The brutal Bloody Mist laws had turned every Mist ninja who had lived through the Third War and its final stages into pure killing tools.

And a tool has no need for thoughts, so even their own lives could be cast aside at any moment.

Jiraiya's Rasengan almost never missed; he used it many times, and those Mist ninja relied on their superb Substitution Jutsu and Water Clone Jutsu to dodge some of them.

But Rasengan is a ninjutsu rated A-rank in destructive power; even when it didn't directly hit a person, the surrounding terrain became pitted and uneven.

The turbulent currents surging across the entire battlefield churned the surrounding thick fog as well, completely shattering the conditions required to cast the Silent Killing Jutsu.

"Creak-creak-creak!"

"Pathetically weak!"

"Whether it's speed, strength, or cunning—you're all so pathetically weak. So just turn into ice sculptures in the blizzard!"

After Xiaomei once again kicked away an enemy who had collapsed to the ground, stiff from low body temperature, finally one of this batch of Mist ninja seized a fleeting chance to close in to a distance near enough to her.

"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"

Even though one of his arms was completely frozen by the frost enveloping Xiaomei, at the cost of using only one hand, this Mist ninja successfully cast the Water Prison Jutsu and trapped Xiaomei within it!

Water Prison Jutsu is a technique that few people pay attention to, because its flaw is also obvious: it can be broken very easily from the outside. Still, using it at a moment like this for the Mist ninja to temporarily restrict an opponent they couldn't match head-on was a pretty good idea.

Trapped within the Water Prison Jutsu, Xiaomei glanced at the seven or eight Mist ninja who instinctively grew wary and retreated to keep their distance at merely her sweeping gaze.

A nameless fury surged up—she was actually fighting a bunch of idiots like this in a place like this, and had fallen to a jutsu like this?

If those people over in Loulan found out, would she still have the face to see anyone?

"Ice Release!"

"Wait-wait-wait! Friendly fire here!"

Almost the instant Xiaomei activated her jutsu, the young Young Yuanzi, who had been looking smug just moments ago, turned pale..
