Chapter 409: Rescue (Part 5)

Seaside Cabin.

Song Jinhe and Lin Qingye, who had jumped into the black hole of the Array, successfully leaped out from the Array exit on the deck of the fishing boat.

The sudden appearance of the two startled Miyanaga Rika and her family.

Miyanaga Rika, who knew the inside story, reacted immediately and stepped forward to help them up one by one: "Are you both alright?"

Song Jinhe shook her head to indicate she was fine. Lin Qingye, however, stood guard by the black hole of the Array, waiting for Chen Che to come out.

However, not only did she not wait for Chen Che to emerge, she instead discovered that the black hole of the Array had vanished.

"What is going on?! Fourth Senior Sister, take a look! Is the Array malfunctioning?"

Lin Qingye shoved Song Jinhe, shouting with a face full of anxiety.

Song Jinhe explained: "The two Array Diagrams are too far apart. This one was only set up by me in advance; it couldn't possibly last long, and being able to transport the two of us was already its limit."

"Then what about Chen Che?! He was left there all alone!" Lin Qingye roared anxiously.

"Calm down!"

Song Jinhe shouted and said: "Our main mission was to rescue you. Now that you are safe, we must prepare to leave Japan. As for Chen Che... he still has things left to do and stayed behind voluntarily, but don't worry, he will find us and regroup."

"But..." Lin Qingye was still uneasy, but was interrupted directly by Song Jinhe: "No more 'buts'. Everything is within Chen Che's plan. Our worrying blindly will only ruin his work. All we can do is be obedient and execute according to his plan!"

Song Jinhe stopped wasting breath on Lin Qingye and turned to say to Miyanaga Rika: "Start the boat!"

A trace of worry flashed in Miyanaga Rika's eyes, but in the end, she didn't ask and turned to run into the cockpit: "Father, start the boat!"

………

Saito Hiroki's gaze swept rapidly across the room, discovering that apart from Chen Che, there was no one else, and at the hole in the roof, the helicopter's rope ladder had just retracted its final tail.

In an instant, Saito Hiroki was furious; he never expected that even with him personally sitting in command and guarding strictly, the person was still rescued by Chen Che right under his nose!

"Good, good, good. As expected of Special Commissioner Chen, I have truly learned my lesson!" Saito Hiroki said through gritted teeth.

Chen Che smiled smugly and said: "Don't be angry, you'll get used to it."

Saito Hiroki pulled a Kunai from his waist, True Qi coating his body, flashing with a biting cold light. He held onto his last shred of reason and asked: "You clearly had the chance to leave, why stay behind?"

Chen Che faced Saito Hiroki: "Firstly, I thought about blocking people for them, and secondly, because of you, Lord Ninja God."

"Because of me?"

"You're familiar with Zanpu Dunzhu, right?"

Saito Hiroki was suddenly stunned.

Chen Che continued: "Or perhaps I should call him the Liuhe Divine Cult Leader... What exactly is your relationship? Was imprisoning Lin Qingye part of Zanpu Dunzhu's scheme?"

"No wonder the Cult Leader's only requirement was to do everything possible to eliminate you."

Saito Hiroki snorted coldly, his aura surging, his True Qi majestic. The floor beneath his feet cracked in all directions, the fissures crawling across the walls like dense little snakes.

"Rest assured, I will tell you the answers to your questions. But the premise is, you must die!"

The might on Saito Hiroki's body erupted completely, his Martial Dao strength released without reservation. With a wave of his arms, the Kunai in his hand shot out explosively.

Chen Che's eyes widened, and he dodged rapidly to the side. The Kunai grazed his ear, a silver-white thread tied to the end of the handle pulling taut instantly.

The flying Kunai turned 180 degrees and shot straight for the back of Chen Che's head.

At the same time, Saito Hiroki had already closed in rapidly, attacking from front and back.

Chen Che stomped his foot, and with a *clang*, the floor shattered. His body shot toward the roof, bursting out of the Mingzhi Shrine building.

………

The rope ladder was fully retracted into the helicopter. Cheng Kexin helped the unconscious Kobayashi Saki and Yamamoto Yui up, deliberately exposing their backs to Watanabe Takumi.

The firepower of the Puppet was also nearing exhaustion at this moment, having weakened significantly.

Watanabe Takumi managed to poke his head out and look toward the helicopter. The moment he saw Kobayashi Saki wearing Lin Qingye's coat, his eyes widened.

When the rope ladder was being retracted just now, he had noticed someone being pulled onto the plane, but due to the suppression of the Puppet's firepower, he hadn't been able to see clearly.

But now, under Cheng Kexin's deliberate maneuvering, he recognized Lin Qingye's clothes at a glance, as well as the attire of Song Jinhe, who had followed Chen Che into the house at the beginning.

"Baka! Can't let them run!" Watanabe Takumi rushed out from behind cover, holding his gun and firing wildly at the helicopter, "Stop hiding, shoot for me! If they get away, none of you will live!"

For a time, led by Watanabe Takumi, his subordinates followed quickly, launching a suicidal counterattack.

However, Watanabe Takumi's reaction was entirely within the expectations of Cheng Kexin and Ji Xuan.

As early as when the rope ladder began to rise, the helicopter had already started to ascend. Now, with the cover of the Puppet, it rose very smoothly to a height where the bullets would deflect and fail to reach.

"Plan successful, let's go!"

Cheng Kexin's lips curled into a smile as she operated the remote control to retract the Puppet. Ji Xuan immediately steered the helicopter to turn and accelerated away from the sky above Mingzhi Shrine.

"Baka!" Watanabe Takumi's face was ferocious and filled with uncontrollable rage; he roared almost directly from his lungs, "Pursue!"

"Boom!!!"

At this moment, a loud noise erupted from within the Mingzhi Shrine building. Two figures flew out one after the other, landing in the courtyard of the shrine.

Watanabe Takumi's gaze fixed, his face twisted and ferocious, and he roared wildly: "Chen—Che!!!"

In an instant, Watanabe Takumi completely forgot to pursue the departing plane, turned rapidly, and charged toward Chen Che.

Saito Hiroki blocked him and ordered: "Watanabe Takumi, go pursue the plane!"

Fierce light flashed in Watanabe Takumi's eyes as he aimed his gun at Chen Che, turning a deaf ear to Saito Hiroki's words.

"Everyone raise your guns and turn him into a sieve for me!" Watanabe Takumi roared wildly, his finger hooking onto the trigger.

Chen Che was unhurried, holding up two fingers...

"Slap!"

Saito Hiroki slapped Watanabe Takumi across the face. Watanabe Takumi's head went blank, and he staggered, nearly falling over.

"Go pursue the plane quickly! With me and the Ninja Group here, Chen Che cannot run!"

Saito Hiroki roared: "Every one of them knows our secrets; letting even one go is a major threat! Not to mention that Lin Qingye still directly controls the Qingyuan Group. Once she returns to Xia, the Qingyuan Group is fully capable of launching an economic bombardment against Japan!"

Watanabe Takumi's eyes were splitting, his teeth clenched tight. He looked at Chen Che with unwillingness and squeezed a word through his teeth: "Pursue!"

Watanabe Takumi led his men in pursuit of the helicopter, however, because of the delay caused by his emotional impulsiveness, the aircraft was already far off on the horizon, and unnoticed, it had completed a new operation.

Chen Che watched the retreating backs of Watanabe Takumi and his men, then scanned his surroundings at the Ninja Group ninjas closing in on him, and finally looked at Saito Hiroki: "It is the Ninja God who understands the big picture, it is just a pity, none of us will die here."

Saito Hiroki gave a cold snort: "Young man, do not be too confident. I admit that whether in terms of intellect or Martial Dao, you can be considered a dragon among men, but that does not mean you can escape unscathed today."

Chen Che formed a hand seal with both hands, held it before his chest, and raised an eyebrow with a smile, his expression full of unruliness and arrogance: "How would you know without trying? Besides, those three idiots you sent to kill me were killed by me with ease."

The corners of Saito Hiroki's mouth twitched, successfully provoked, and he roared: "Very well, then I will make you pay for their lives right now!"

"Kill!"

At Saito Hiroki's command, the ninjas of the Ninja Group swarmed forward, each displaying their Supernatural Power.

Chen Che took a deep breath and silently chanted: "Xun Wood Reaching the Sky."
