Chapter 166: Ye Cang

Clusters of unsteady flames jumped about.

The faces of the sand ninjas present were lit up, showing wavering expressions.

The camp fell silent and still.

Only things like tents ignited by Fire Release were present, making noises as they burned.

These sand ninjas now understood that the mission had become extremely dangerous.

Given the strength the opponent just displayed, killing us would be effortless.

Now they can only wait quietly.

On one hand they wait for the opponent to attack; on the other hand they wait for reinforcements.

Hope those companions who see the signal can hurry here; only then can we and others save our lives.

Just wanted to block the opponent……

Therefore, none of the sand ninjas on site dared to act rashly.

Except……

"Don't be scared by the opponent!"

"Maybe now is the opponent's weakest moment!"

"He must have used a secret technique or some kind of drug that stimulates potential to unleash such great power~"

At this point, Ye Cang, who had been repeatedly teased, could no longer bear it.

She is a sixteen-year-old girl; although she usually dresses fashionably and boldly, now being teased in front of so many people, how could she swallow this anger?

Upon hearing her statement, the ninjas present, although a few felt moved, did not show it.

Instead, each one began secretly observing Dong Shilang opposite them.

"A bunch of cowards!"

Seeing that her words had no effect, Ye Cang was also furious, but had no other recourse; she could only take the lead to probe the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

Actually, Dong Shilang's current success is not because he took some secret medicine to stimulate his potential.

But rather, after a whole night's rest, although he didn't sleep, he had recovered considerably; when in the medical tent, he entered Sage Mode early, which allowed him to utterly destroy the opponent's confidence.

Although Sage Technique takes a long time to prepare and is unsuitable for intense combat, tonight's situation is perfect for it~

Upon entering the sand ninjas' camp, after slightly recovering his condition, he prepared this ninjutsu.

Another reason is his Sharingan.

His bloodline limit is known as the Illusion Eye and Insight Eye; but in Dong Shilang's view, there is still one aspect rarely shown in the original.

That is, the Sharingan is an eye that can see chakra!

All ninja means—whether ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu—almost never exist without chakra when used.

And these chakras, within the Sharingan's field of vision, are extremely clear, with nowhere to hide. This advantage in ninja combat is extremely obvious.

For example, just now, he saw Ye Cang preparing to unleash a ninjutsu a step ahead, which allowed him to strike first!

Plus its insight!

After personally using the Sharingan, Dong Shilang found that its insight is very much like the 'bullet time' he saw in his previous life.

Whether it's seeing high-speed moving objects clearly or reacting in this high-speed world, it is extremely similar to bullet time.

Furthermore, the Sharingan's boost to genjutsu means it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the strongest bloodline limits in the ninja world.

"Scorch Release..."

Looking opposite, Ye Cang, flushed with anger, appeared even more feminine than before.

Dong Shilang also did not underestimate her just because she is a woman!

At this moment, Ye Cang's surroundings were encircled by four fireballs about one meter in radius, each resembling an enlarged magatama.

If one is not careful and gets hit by these fireballs, the outcome will be miserable!

"Go!"

With Ye Cang's spirited shout, the four fireballs floating in midair shot straight toward Dong Shilang's position.

As for her companions, though they didn't act, each had tensed muscles and the little remaining chakra surging, obviously ready to support her at any moment.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique"

Not letting these fireballs get close, Dong Shilang, who has read the original, knows this is one of Scorch Release's attack traits: they can be freely controlled by the user to dance in the air, and merely grazing an enemy can draw moisture from their body.

Therefore, Dong Shilang dared not let it get close; considering the opponent is a bloodline limit technique, he especially unleashed the Great Dragon Fire Technique.

This technique, among many Fire Release ninjutsu, is famed for its tremendous impact; presumably it can neutralize the opponent's attack,

Boom!

As Dong Shilang unleashed his technique, a huge flame dragon head, over twenty meters in size, with a faint dragon roar, lunged toward Ye Cang.

The dragon's mouth opened wide, swallowing those four magatama-shaped fireballs in one gulp. Then, with an overwhelming momentum, it surged toward Ye Cang.

Know that at this moment Dong Shilang is in Sage Mode; even ordinary ninjutsu, when unleashed, would have astonishing power.

Let alone the Great Dragon Fire Technique, a powerful Fire Release ninjutsu!

This Fire Release...

Although it didn't hit the opponent, it also carried those four fireballs of the opponent, flying off several hundred meters away.

Rumble...

Hearing the distant rumbling explosion behind him, even Ye Cang, who considers himself a genius, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes.

She hadn't expected that after the opponent just unleashed an astonishingly powerful wide-area Fire Release ninjutsu, the next Fire Release ninjutsu would also be extraordinarily powerful.

She watched helplessly as the opponent's ninjutsu swallowed the Scorch Release fireballs she had painstakingly formed, and they were gone forever.

She slightly turned her head, catching the glimpse from the corner of her eye; seeing where this Fire Release ninjutsu landed, she couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air—the distance was truly terrifying.

That is, Dong Shilang doesn't know what the opponent is thinking right now; if he did, he would surely tell her.

One day in the future, there will be a guy who likes to show off. Using fake Sage Mode, using this ninjutsu, he directly struck near the clouds!

Ye Cang glanced at the opponent's figure again, took a deep breath. He pulled out two throwing knives from his ninja tool pouch, holding them reverse-grip with both hands, and charged at the opponent.

The proud she had no intention of giving up; even if she had to risk her life, she would stall until reinforcements arrived, and she would definitely make that damned guy pay the price.

【Looks like ninjutsu won't work; then we have no choice but to rely on taijutsu!】

As for genjutsu, it simply wasn't within her consideration at all.
