Chapter 194: Shadow Ninja? Crushed!
In the conference room at this moment, Su Yi and several other Earth Tier experts were all looking at Shimada before them with grave expressions. On the floor lay several corpses scattered in disarray; the only thing worth being thankful for was that none of these corpses belonged to the Dragon Group.
The corpses lying on the ground looked extremely eerie, each one with a twisted expression, and all had turned into dried husks, as if the moisture in their bodies had been completely drained away. As for Shimada, who stood before them, he was shrouded in black-gray gas, and his aura was immense, suppressing everyone present firmly.
"This damn guy, to think he's so eerie!" Su Yi said, gritting his teeth.
In the battle just now, they had also utilized the effect of a surprise attack, relying on their strength, which was a cut above the ninjas here, to suppress them firmly. Especially this guy named Shimada; because his strength was the lowest, he had received extra attention from them. Unexpectedly, when this guy was Near Death, he performed some unknown technique, instantly draining the power of all the Jonin present to add to his own, causing his strength to skyrocket to this point that now gave them a headache.
"Hehehehe, is this the strength of a Shadow Ninja? It truly is a powerful force that makes one addicted!" Shimada's voice had become extremely hoarse, but this hoarse voice made everyone present feel a tremendous pressure.
"We'll hold him off, you guys find a way to retreat!" Su Yi and Qin Wu exchanged a look, then both stepped forward, blocking Shimada's path. They had already sent out the warning signal, and they believed the Dragon Group members outside would know what to do.
"Do you think you two can stop me!" Shimada gave a ferocious laugh and clenched his fist, striking toward the direction of the two.
Su Yi stepped forward, the Inner Strength within his body gathering frantically in his hand as he met Shimada's fist. At the same time, Qin Wu unleashed his Mental Ability with full force, his power continuously bolstering Su Yi's palm to enhance the might of this strike.
"Boom!" A gust of wind swept outward from the two as the center, blowing away all the corpses lying on the ground. Su Yi only felt a terrifying force transmit from the opponent's fist, and then his body was sent flying backward under this immense force, slamming heavily into the wall.
A flush rose to Su Yi's face, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed out violently; his right hand hung limply at his side, clearly already fractured. Qin Wu, on the side, also let out a muffled groan, wisps of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The Mental Power he had condensed on Su Yi's palm was completely Shattered during the collision, which caused his Mental Power to suffer a severe blow, and he lost his combat capability for the time being. Looking at Shimada, he had only taken one step back during this collision and had no injuries at all.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of Su Yi and Qin Wu sank simultaneously. The power of Shimada's strike far exceeded his expectations; could it be that he had truly reached the realm of a Shadow Ninja, which was equivalent to the Heaven Tier rank? If that were really the case, then I'm afraid the Dragon Group members present today were all doomed!
"I want you all to die!" A roar erupted from Shimada's mouth, and he then lunged toward the direction of Su Yi and the other again.
Watching Shimada's movements, Su Yi secretly cried out that it was bad; among the people present, besides him and Qin Wu joining forces, no one else could take a single move from Shimada. Yet, they had just suffered severe injuries and were unable to fight.
"Get lost!" Just as Shimada was about to lunge in front of Su Yi, a red figure suddenly appeared before them. The red figure extended a hand and struck Shimada's fist heavily, swatting him away just like swatting a fly!
"This person is, Luo Yexi?!" Seeing the figure before him clearly, Qin Wu could not help but widen his eyes.
"Are, are you kidding me!" Su Yi also opened his eyes wide; his fourth brother, Su Ye, was once called the most outstanding genius in Beijing and was admired by countless people, yet he only stepped into the Heaven Tier at the age of thirty. But now this girl, looking at her appearance, she was at most sixteen or seventeen, right? To think she was also Heaven Tier, what kind of joke was this!
In fact, Luo Yexi herself was also very depressed; she had stayed in the world of swords for three years, but during this time, she showed no signs of growing up at all. Perhaps this was a small side effect of the Eternal Contract!
"Wahahaha, I was originally wondering how I could find you, to think you'd actually come to my door yourself now!" After Shimada saw Luo Yexi's face clearly, a burst of wild laughter erupted from his mouth. "Obediently come back with me and become the sacrifice for the revival of the Great Hachibi!"
"Tsk tsk, has your mind already been affected by overly inflated power!" A trace of disdain flashed in Luo Yexi's eyes, "Just based on you, you're not qualified!"
"Is that so!" Shimada gave an eerie laugh, his hands forming a hand seal, and his figure instantly vanished into the Void.
"A petty trick!" Luo Yexi sneered, Nine Yang True Qi boiling on her palms, and then she struck toward an empty space where no one was.
With a "Boom," a black figure appeared out of thin air, his figure retreating step by step for quite a distance before he stopped.
"How could you see through my Invisibility Technique?" Shimada pressed his right hand against his left arm, a trace of shock and anger flashing in his eyes.
"It's just a Presence Concealment Spell that can't be brought into the light, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me!" Luo Yexi flipped her hands, Nine Yang True Qi gathering once more, transforming into a palm print that struck toward Shimada's direction.
"Erosion Flow." A trace of ferocity flashed across Shimada's face, and then he formed seals with his hands, opening his mouth to spray; a patch of foul-smelling yellow water spewed from his mouth. This foul-smelling water flow seemed to possess powerful corrosive force, actually corroding the palm print condensed from Nine Yang True Qi until it was completely gone.
"Hmm? You've got some skills!" Luo Yexi gave a light exclamation, then joined her right fingers into a sword and swung forward. A streak of extremely sharp golden-red Sword Qi swept out from her fingers, turning the incoming water flow into nothingness.
Seeing Luo Yexi casually break his ultimate technique, Shimada's pupils could not help but shrink. This move of his, Erosion Flow, was a technique inherited from the Great Priest; when used with the strength of a Jonin, even Heaven Tier experts had to avoid its edge. Now that he had used a secret technique to raise his strength to a Shadow Ninja, this move was instead easily broken by someone, which filled his heart with great terror.
Suddenly, Luo Yexi frowned slightly; in her perception, Busujima Saeko was rapidly approaching this direction. If she came here, the kills here might not be her own anymore.
"I don't have time to waste with you! First Form: Initial Sun Scorching the Sky!" Luo Yexi raised her hand, her sword finger pointing to the sky; countless golden-red rays gathered at her fingertips, forming a golden-red Light Ball.
The moment the Light Ball appeared, the temperature in the conference room rose sharply. Everyone present, whether it was Shimada or the Dragon Group experts, looked at the Light Ball on Luo Yexi's finger with horror; they sensed a terrifying threat from the Light Ball.
"Go!" Luo Yexi pointed into the Void with her hand, and the golden-red Light Ball instantly headed straight for Shimada.
Shimada's forehead was covered in dense sweat, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He felt the aura of death from this golden Light Ball; if he couldn't take this move, he was dead!
At the critical moment when his life was threatened, Shimada desperately squeezed out all his potential; countless black mists wrapped in dark yellow water vapor gathered frantically around him, faintly forming a monster. This monster had eight heads and eight tails, its massive body coiled into a ball, letting out a silent roar toward the incoming Light Ball. "Eight-Forked Wrath!"
The moment the two different powers collided, a massive shockwave instantly engulfed Luo Yexi and Shimada, forcing the many Earth Tier members of the Dragon Group to retreat continuously.
After the storm passed, Su Yi and Qin Wu could not help but widen their eyes. Luo Yexi was still standing in place, motionless, as if the storm just now had not caused her any influence at all. Shimada's appearance, however, was incomparably miserable; blood continuously overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the clothes that were originally neat on his body had turned into countless strips. The most miserable part was his left hand, which had completely disappeared from the wrist down.
"This is a completely crushing battle," a member of the Dragon Group muttered.
