Chapter 258: Kaguya

Don't waste words with him, just take this guy out!

Before Dong Shilang could exchange a few words with the opponent, the white‑haired handsome guy who had stayed silent since entering the battle couldn't hold back his agitated blood and charged straight at Dong Shilang.

He had no intention of cooperating with his teammates.

This reckless fool!

Cursing under her breath, Zhao Mei Ming still didn't forget to remind.

Be careful, his taijutsu is superb!

The two allies I summoned this time are a talented youth of the Snow Clan and a battle‑crazed warrior of the Kaguya Clan.

The Snow Clan member is fine, just a bit cold‑hearted, but this Kaguya Clan guy has zero team spirit—he only knows how to fight and kill.

She even wondered whether his brains had completely deteriorated, leaving only muscle.

Boil Release: Boiling Blood Technique

Although she thought that, Zhao Mei Ming's hand movements didn't slow; after forming seals and casting that ninjutsu, she coordinated with the opponent to attack Dong Shilang, all the while adding:

Qing Shui! I'll go help Hai Dou; you cover us two!

Hmm!

The Snow Clan member named Qing Shui simply answered Zhao Mei Ming's words briefly, then kept his eyes on the battlefield while forming seals, seemingly casting some ninjutsu.

Clang!

He blocked the Kaguya Clan fighter's blade with a weapon forged from his own bones, and Dong Shilang sidestepped to avoid Zhao Mei Ming's punch from the side.

If you merely thought the opponent was a ninjutsu‑type ninja, you'd be dead wrong; after Zhao Mei Ming used that Boiling Blood Technique, her strength, speed, and so on noticeably increased.

Although it didn't reach the level of super‑strength, just from the opponent's fist wind you could tell his taijutsu was far beyond that of an ordinary jonin.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

After repeatedly blocking Hai Dou's attacks while guarding against Zhao Mei Ming's sneak attacks from the side, Dong Shilang felt he couldn't stay passive any longer.

Continuing to tangle like this would do him no good,

Illusion·Shiranui

The Sharingan in his eyes spun, and he unleashed a genjutsu unique to the Sharingan, launching it at the mad‑expressioned foe who attacked without bothering to defend.

Even if the opponent tried to guard, he still managed to hit him with the genjutsu by refracting the water molecules in the air,

And the Kaguya Clan's Hai Dou, caught in Dong Shilang's Sharingan genjutsu, froze mid‑lunge; in his mental space, another scene unfolded.

His whole body became a flat paper‑like figure standing on a huge stone floating in midair.

His body drifted weightlessly; from his ankles upward, clusters of flame rose, scorching his flesh, engulfing him in fire that burned him over and over.

Moreover, this burning wasn't like a mere illusion that creates a harmless fantasy; it actually harmed the person himself.

Hai Dou could feel that, as the flames burned, his spirit also bore the opponent's attack, as if his very mental energy were being roasted over a fire.

This caused his face to involuntarily twist and deform, revealing a horrified expression,

Oh no! This idiot

Although she wanted to just leave it, this was ultimately the ally she'd summoned to fight the enemy, so Zhao Mei Ming gritted her teeth and attacked Dong Shilang's junior.

She was trying to create an opening for her teammate!

Not this muscle‑brained idiot!

Secret Technique: Magic Mirror

Seeing the smooth‑surfaced ice crystal suddenly appear before him, and judging only its thickness, Dong Shilang didn't continue his sword slash.

This ice mirror, completely formed from the opponent's bloodline limit, was astonishingly thick—over a meter. It was no mere magic mirror but a huge block of ice. Even if he tried to smash through it with a single strike to reach Hai Dou behind it, it would take some time.

Adding Zhao Mei Ming's pursuit from behind and the opponent's fist wind, he used Boil Release ninjutsu to boil his own blood, granting that punch a semblance of super‑strength technique.

Directly blocking it would not be a good choice.

Thud!

He sidestepped, blocked the incoming Zhao Mei Ming with his free left hand, and though it repelled her, compared to genuine super‑strength, her Boil Release still fell short.

Having repelled her, Dong Shilang prepared to follow up with another strike.

Without that Kaguya Clan troublemaker in the way, dealing with just these two opponents would be much easier.

But to Dong Shilang's surprise, the Snow Clan member named Qing Shui did not choose to rescue his comrade.

Under the Mist Village's bloody‑mist policy, he cared nothing for his comrades; instead, as Dong Shilang swung his fist at Zhao Mei Ming, he gripped a kunai and stabbed toward Dong Shilang's back.

What a shame!

His unexpected strike was blocked by the opponent's right‑hand ninja blade; the unsuccessful Qing Shui then merged into the magic mirror he'd created, denying Dong Shilang any chance to attack.

Damn it!

Seeing her teammate completely disregard his comrade's life, Zhao Mei Ming let out an angry shout and lunged at Dong Shilang, grappling with him.

Zhao Mei Ming herself was helpless; her village's policy was just like that, and she couldn't blame Qing Shui—he had done nothing wrong.

Perhaps stung by Zhao Mei Ming's angry shout, Hai Dou felt embarrassed, and another magic mirror appeared beside him.

From it extended a pale arm that grabbed Hai Dou's neck and flung him far away, removing him from Dong Shilang's attack range.

The arm's owner seemed to disdain this muscle‑brained comrade; after tossing him aside, she shook the arm in the air, as if her companion's foolishness might rub off on her.

Tsk! Having teammates sure is convenient!

Even such a single‑minded fool can survive to this day under his teammates' care~

While fighting Zhao Mei Ming, Dong Shilang gazed at the distant Kaguya Clan member and remarked thoughtfully.

His teammate, though seemingly disdainful of him, ultimately saved that idiot, preventing him from dying pointlessly at Dong Shilang's hands.
