Chapter 165: How Foolish

"Kill you! I will kill you!"

Jin Jiao, already provoked into madness, roared and charged at Lian Ye.

The battle erupted in an instant.

"Lian Ye, watch out!" the others hurriedly warned.

Jin Jiao brandished the Seven Star Sword and surged forward first, the blade wrapped in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, making the weapon even sharper.

Lian Ye calmly raised the Banana Leaf Fan, swung it hard, and a raging Wind Release slightly stalled Jin Jiao's assault.

Yuanfei Rizhan seized the chance, the Diamond Ruyi Staff whistling with wind as it slammed into Jin Jiao's back.

"Don't think you can get away with it!" Jin Jiao roared, turned, and the Huang Jin Rope shot out like a spirit snake, deflecting the staff.

He now didn't want to tangle with this bunch, only wanted to tear that damned Uchiha to pieces.

After blocking Rizhan's attack, he just turned to strike Lian Ye, when Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's Wind Release Ninjutsu already surged, the sharp Wind Blade forced Jin Jiao to retreat and dodge.

Uchiha Jing's Sharingan precisely tracked his movement, and a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique shot straight toward him.

Jin Jiao used the Huang Jin Rope to block the fireball's attack, and Xiaochun Zhuanqin's three kunai flew toward his face.

"Aaah, you bunch of rats!" Jin Jiao was clearly furious at their coordination.

He now only wanted to kill Lian Ye to avenge his brother, ignoring the others entirely, but they kept intervening one after another, which only made him angrier.

Lian Ye seized the chance, flashed forward, and the Tachi in his hand thrust straight at Jin Jiao's throat.

Jin Jiao was already prepared; the Seven Star Sword blocked precisely, producing a harsh metallic clang.

"Damn guy, trying the same trick a second time?!" Jin Jiao sneered, and the Huang Jin Rope on his right arm shot toward Lian Ye.

If it hit, he would immediately use the Seven Star Sword to sever the speech spirit, then, with the Red Gourd, any uttered catchphrase or similar words would be sealed by the Red Gourd.

Of course, once the speech spirit is cut, even if one stays silent, over time the Red Gourd will still seal them!

The two brothers, relying on Six Paths Artifacts, had slain countless foes; this move could be said to never fail.

"Clang!"

Lian Ye swung a blade at the Huang Jin Rope, easily deflecting the attack.

Jin Jiao, seeing this, suddenly smiled, "Hahaha, kid, you're still too naive!"

Mid-sentence, the Huang Jin Rope suddenly softened, coiling around the blade and racing at breakneck speed toward the hilt.

Seeing the rope about to hit his fingers, Lian Ye suddenly lifted a foot and kicked Jin Jiao's chest, while spitting a fireball from his mouth.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

His figure was instantly engulfed in flames, and Lian Ye used the chance to create distance.

As the smoke cleared, although the area in front of Jin Jiao was charred black, he sustained no real damage; Nine-Tailed Chakra shielded him.

But his complexion was far from good; had the Banana Leaf Fan not been snatched away...

He wouldn't have been suppressed so severely by the few of them.

Having lost his ranged attacks, facing the six-person onslaught was indeed taxing.

"Wind Release: Wind Slash!"

"Earth Release: Earth Spike!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang gave Jin Jiao no respite; a Wind Release Ninjutsu surged at him at breakneck speed, followed immediately by Shuihu Menyan's Earth Release, causing sharp earth spikes to erupt from the ground.

Jin Jiao leapt up to dodge, and a Great Fireball shot toward him.

"Aaah! When will it end!" He raised the Seven Star Sword to slash the scorching fireball, and a sea of flames instantly erupted before him, the fire reflecting his bitter, angry face.

At that moment, a rod suddenly emerged from the flames; caught off guard, Jin Jiao was struck in the face, his body instantly flung backward.

"Aaah, you damned guys!"

The six attacks drove Jin Jiao into a full-blown rage; his Nine-Tailed Chakra burst outward, exuding a terrifying aura.

The ground sank under the massive impact, scattering shards of stone.

A flash of ferocity flickered in Jin Jiao's crimson beast eyes.

He realized that continuing this way would only wear him out; he needed to grievously wound someone to create a breach in the six's formation.

"All of you, get out of my way!" he roared, completely ignoring the staff Rizhan slammed at him, and stubbornly took the blow with his back.

Using that momentum, he lunged at Uchiha Jing with even greater speed.

That damned guy had been releasing Fire Release Ninjutsu from afar to interfere with him!

The Huang Jin Rope shot out like lightning; Jing, seeing this, hurried back, only to see Jin Jiao raise the Seven Star Sword and suddenly turn toward Xiaochun Zhuanqin.

Xiaochun, who had just intended to support Jing, hadn't expected Jin Jiao to reverse his attack, and was stunned as the Seven Star Sword swung toward her.

"Careful!"

At the instant the Seven Star Sword was about to land, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang suddenly stepped in, raising a kunai to block the attack.

"Clack—"

The Seven Star Sword easily sliced through the kunai, striking Tuan Cang's chest; the massive impact hurled him through the air, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Warm fresh blood splattered onto Xiaochun's face, leaving her mind blank.

"Tuan Cang!" everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jin Jiao's original target had been the female ninja before him, but an unexpected delight emerged.

"How foolish... to think a kunai could block Six Paths Ninja Tools."

It's the first time I've met such an idiot...

He stared at the terrified Xiaochun before him and, without hesitation, raised the Seven Star Sword.

"Die!"

"Clang!" Yuanfei Rizhan appeared in time, using the Diamond Ruyi Staff to block the attack, and shouted at the stunned Xiaochun Zhuanqin:

"Xiaochun, hurry and heal Tuan Cang!"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin heard the words and instantly reacted; she hurried to Tuan Cang and used Medical Ninjutsu to heal.

At this moment, Tuan Cang had already fallen into a coma…

Jin Jiao saw that the Six-person Squad was down to four, and showed a ferocious grin.

Now his pressure was greatly reduced; he only needed to grievously wound one more person, and he would be confident of defeating all these damned rats.

Then he could kill that damned Uchiha and avenge his dead brother…

Thinking that, Jin Jiao quickened his attack speed, intending to defeat the monkey wielding a Root staff in a short time.

His left arm suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into a Tailed Beast claw that plunged straight into Ri Zhan's heart!

Sarutobi Clan Ri Zhan hastily raised a Ruyi staff to block, but saw Jin Jiao reveal a triumphant smile; the Huang Jin Rope on his right arm had somehow become tangled around his ankle!

Ri Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted; by the time he reacted, it was already too late, his lips twitched uncontrollably, and he was about to spew out a speech spirit.

Lian Ye saw the scene and his expression darkened; he must not let the Seven Star Sword cut the speech spirit!

"Stop him!"

Saying that, he used Flash Body Technique to appear nearby and slashed at Jin Jiao's right arm.

"Clang!" Jin Jiao raised his hand and blocked with the Seven Star Sword.

At that moment, Sarutobi Clan Ri Zhan spat out a white speech spirit from his mouth.
