Chapter 238: Breakout

It wasn't just Yuzhibo Zhe's group.

In the air, Huangtu, who had fully witnessed this scene, could not help twitching the corners of his mouth nonstop.

At this point, he even began to doubt what kind of monster he had ambushed this time.

But things have come to this.

There's nothing left to hesitate about.

Let's go down!

Having lost the rock ninja who could create explosive clay, these people staying in the air were useless.

As rock ninja, they could only exert their true strength on the ground.

But...

Having just rescued his two comrades, Bai Ling, a guard of Huangtu, urged him.

The other party is the child of the Third Tsuchikage; there's really no need to risk oneself. If anything were to happen to them, we guards would be guilty of a capital crime.

There's no 'but' about it!

Before his words could finish, the resolute Huangtu cut him off, saying: 'This is a war between the rock ninja and Leaf Village; as the son of the Tsuchikage, how could I just watch them break through?'

Seeing that the other still wanted to speak, he flatly refused.

Don't bother advising me! My mind is made up~

After saying that, he headed toward the rock ninja.

Although he wanted to kill the enemy, he was no reckless hothead; otherwise, the Third Tsuchikage would not have let him represent him in command of the main camp.

Seeing this, the guard Chishi could only closely follow Huangtu's footsteps; the honor and disgrace of their whole families rested on Huangtu.

If anything were to happen to him, not only he but also his family behind him and their clan would be hard-pressed to escape blame.

He blasted open a passage with a punch, and Dong Shilang did not stop his steps.

Taking two or three steps over the debris beneath his feet, he then exerted force with his right foot, stomping heavily on the ground, carving out a pit one meter deep and four or five meters in diameter; he then drew his ninja sword and charged toward the distant rock ninja.

Beneath the pit he had just stomped, two rock ninja had been attempting to ambush him from underground.

Having been detected by Dong Shilang, a stomp left them severely injured; after a single anguished cry they fell unconscious, and without timely aid they likely wouldn't last long.

And Dong Shilang, the cause of all this, remained indifferent.

Before charging into the enemy formation, he also signaled to Yan and Longhuo.

Understood!

Having received Dong Shilang's signal, the two also hesitated not at all, simultaneously forming hand seals and unleashing their respective ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Earth Traversal Flame

Fire Release: Meteor Flame Heaven Descend

As they performed their jutsu, two lines of flame three to four meters high shot forward along the advance route of Dong Shilang and his group.

While encircling the ground to form a passage, they also shifted the lines, splitting those rock ninja apart.

Those flames three to four meters high did not flash and disappear; they kept burning, blocking the rock ninja's view as they separated them.

This wasn't over yet.

A enormous fireball, nearly twenty to thirty meters in diameter, fell from the sky and smashed toward where the rock ninja were gathered.

After it brought forth a series of booms and screams, the fireball that struck the ground and then exploded did not go out because of that.

The flames that sprayed out continued to burn, creating a sea of fire sixty to seventy meters in diameter before them, radiating scorching, oppressive heat.

The rock ninja within the sea of fire fled in panic; if they stayed, they would likely be roasted to jerky.

As Dong Shilang and his group approached, the sea of fire, under Yuzhibo Yan's control, parted to leave a narrow path only they could pass.

You guys! Don't underestimate the rock ninja...

Just as Dong Shilang's party was about to burst out of the fire zone, a rock ninja Jonin rushed at them with blades in both hands, roaring angrily.

Seemingly encouraged by this rock ninja, and not deterred by Dong Shilang's group's arrogance, ten or so ninja gathered behind him, drew their weapons, and attacked the leading Dong Shilang.

At that moment, Dong Shilang could only respond with the ninja sword in his hand.

Swish!

Chakra gathered in his feet and then burst forth; under Sage Mode, his body-flicker technique was as swift as a streak of light.

It left the opposing rock ninja unable to capture his attack trajectory.

Clang!

Sparks flew!

The ringing sound from the clash of the two ninja swords carried far away.

That was close!

This Jonin who stepped forward to try to block Dong Shilang, although unable to catch his attack trajectory, relied on years of life-and-death intuition and, at the crucial moment, successfully blocked Dong Shilang's this instant-body-flicker slash.

Although he successfully blocked Dong Shilang's attack, he then committed a fairly fatal mistake.

The sense of imminent danger made him involuntarily turn his head to look at Dong Shilang, who was swinging his sword to attack him!

Just that turn of his head, his entire field of vision was occupied by a pair of scarlet Sharingan.

Afterward, he felt his shoulders, spine, and hips being pierced one after another by huge stone nails, pinning him in place.

This was Dong Shilang's Metal Binding Illusion cast through the Sharingan.

He lightly swung his blade.

He reaped the life of this rock ninja, trapped in the illusion and unable to move.

Dong Shilang paused not at all, throwing himself bodily at the rock ninja before him.

Ah!

Be careful!

"Don't come over!"

Unlike the rock-ninja Jonin just now, the opponent, relying on his rich experience and intuition, could also block Dong Shilang's lightning-fast instant-body slash, forcing him to pause a moment and spend extra effort.

Those behind him had only Chunin-level strength, or at best Special Jonin-level rock-ninja; under Dong Shilang's hands, they hardly had a chance to fight back.

Swish!

A dazzling blade-light flashed.

The last rock-ninja blocking him, together with his companions behind him, was beheaded by Dong Shilang with a single sword; thereafter, no large force of rock-ninja remained to block his path.

Continuously bursting chakra, he performed the instant-body slash to kill these rock-ninja; the whole process took less than ten seconds.

His speed was such that even Yuzhibo Zhe and Yan, who followed behind him, were somewhat caught off guard.

Even their long-time comrades had never seen Dong Shilang in such a state when he unleashed his full power, and now they couldn't help but be surprised.
