Chapter 129

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ryosuke was fighting wits and courage with air at this moment.

But from Ryosuke’s perspective, it was a completely different picture.

Two identical Elder Lynx figures were currently attacking Mizunuki Ryosuke from the left and right with ferocious, long, sharp claws.

Ryosuke’s dodging movements were being performed under the offensive of two invisible Elder Lynx.

After the genjutsu failed and was rebounded, leading to him taking a kick.

This was the opponent bringing out their trump card to fight him to the death.

Perhaps it was that kick from Ryosuke earlier that had kicked out Elder Lynx’s true fire; at this time, Elder Lynx’s moves showed no mercy, each move ruthless and aimed directly at vital points.

Because he had intuitively experienced the battle between Ryosuke and Neko-no-suke.

So Elder Lynx had been guarding against Ryosuke’s Shadow Secret Technique.

Coupled with the "invisibility" characteristic of Elder Lynx’s own Yin Release secret technique, Elder Lynx had once thought that he had a restraining relationship with Ryosuke in terms of ability.

But the kick Ryosuke landed on his right cheek just now had really woken him up.

The Shadow Secret Technique might just be the tip of the iceberg that this man had revealed.

Through close-quarters combat with Elder Lynx, Ryosuke discovered that he had somewhat underestimated this Ninja Cat elder.

Ryosuke had originally thought that this Elder Lynx should belong to the "genjutsu" type of Ninja Cat, and once the genjutsu was broken, he would be helpless.

But he didn't expect that the opponent’s close-combat ability would be so excellent.

Especially when combined with the special Yin Release secret method that could hide his figure, he was simply the most terrifying invisible killer.

While fighting Elder Lynx, Ryosuke was looking for the mystery behind this move.

Now, Ryosuke could almost conclude.

These two Elder Lynx in the "invisible" state were definitely not clones.

Because under such high-intensity close combat, clones would probably have been unable to withstand it long ago.

"Bang!"

After seizing an opening and forcing the two Elder Lynx back with a roundhouse kick, the Ice Armor: Saint Cloth form appeared on Ryosuke’s body again.

Subsequently, Ryosuke formed seals with one hand, casting Fire Release instantly.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

The Fire Release that had once shown its prowess in the future Fourth Ninja World War was now revealing its edge once again.

The overwhelming flames instantly engulfed everything in front of Ryosuke.

Under the Great Fire Annihilation, the Fire Dragon Bullet of Takeda Yoichi and the Wind-Fire Flame Bullet of Terumi Mei were as dim and lusterless as grains of rice.

Off the stage, to prevent the Great Fire Annihilation from hurting the watching Ninja Cats, several Ninja Cats who had been waiting on the side immediately took action.

A light curtain suddenly rose in front of the auditorium, blocking the residual power of the Fire Release that had drifted there.

Many Ninja Cats were left with lingering fears; only then did they know that Ryosuke’s previous low profile had made them overestimate this man too much.

After the waves of flames, a trace of lingering fear appeared in Elder Lynx’s eyes.

At the moment the flame waves struck just now, Elder Lynx immediately sacrificed his avatar at the cost of throwing his main body into the air with all his might, hanging on the ceiling at the top of the arena.

If not for this, he would have long since turned into charcoal under the Great Fire Annihilation.

Elder Lynx did not have a terrifying body like the Cat Boss; defense itself was his shortcoming.

At this time, Elder Lynx had already developed the intention to retreat.

No matter how tempting the benefits brought by Mizunuki Eiro behind the scenes were, it was not worth risking his life to go head-to-head with Ryosuke.

After all, one could only enjoy everything if they were alive; if they died, there would be nothing left.

Ryosuke naturally knew nothing of the intention to retreat in Elder Lynx’s heart.

Even if he knew, he would only smile slightly.

Thinking of running now was already too late.

After not finding Elder Lynx’s figure anywhere in the arena, Ryosuke turned and looked at the ceiling.

Sure enough, he discovered Elder Lynx’s figure at the top of the ceiling.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

At this moment, Ryosuke formed seals with one hand, releasing a high-pressure water stream that had been violently compressed toward Elder Lynx.

"Pfft!"

The terrifyingly powerful compressed water blade cut into the rock-structured ceiling with almost no effort; fortunately, Elder Lynx escaped quickly, otherwise, he probably would not have been spared.

After a few rounds of battle, Ryosuke had basically figured out Elder Lynx’s abilities.

Genjutsu, invisibility, efficient close-combat ability, plus clones that were almost identical to the main body with unknown characteristics.

These were all of Elder Lynx’s trump cards.

Now, except for the nature of Elder Lynx’s clones, which Ryosuke was still unclear about.

Elder Lynx’s other abilities were no longer to be feared.

As for Elder Lynx’s unique invisible clones, after seeing that they could be eliminated by ninjutsu, Ryosuke had no interest in continuing to learn about them.

As for the way to end the battle, Ryosuke had at least twenty ways in his hands right now.

Subsequently, Mizunuki Ryosuke formed seals with one hand, and then spat out a large amount of gray smoke and dust from his mouth.

Fire Release: Dust Hiding Technique!

A large amount of gray smoke and dust emitting high temperatures spread toward the surroundings; if it weren't for the protection of the Cat clan’s barrier in the auditorium, the scene would probably have been in chaos long ago.

At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s figure also disappeared into the thick gray smoke.

Compared to the terrifying flame tide with destructive characteristics just now, the Ninja Cats were even more eager to avoid the current gray high-temperature smoke.

Due to the persistence of the high-temperature smoke, once they came into contact with this gray smoke, the Ninja Cats’ fur would quickly burn.

This naturally included Elder Lynx.

The rapidly spreading gray smoke left Elder Lynx with nowhere to escape.

Elder Lynx, who had originally been in an invisible state and acting as a "hunter," gradually became "prey" in the environment filled with high-temperature smoke.

Elder Lynx was shocked; he never expected that Mizunuki Ryosuke would have such a ninjutsu.

For a time, Elder Lynx’s range of movement was constantly compressed.

Soon, Elder Lynx had nowhere to avoid and had to enter the dust filled with high temperatures.

The fur all over his body quickly withered, scorched, and then emitted a burnt stench.

Not only that, the scorching dust filled every corner of his trachea with his breathing.

The painful feeling struck from both inside and outside his body.

Elder Lynx only felt that the high-temperature smoke in front of him was like a hot oven, and he was the duck about to enter the oven to be roasted.

Elder Lynx gritted his teeth, knowing that the situation was already lost.

His heart was tangled, and he finally made up his mind to admit defeat and preserve his strength.

But just at this moment, a startling light suddenly erupted from the smoke; in the dim smoke, this scorching light was like the light blooming in the eyes of a monster before it ate a person.

An extreme sense of danger emerged in his heart, and he immediately exclaimed.

"I admi—"

Before he could finish, he suddenly froze on the spot.

In an instant, it was as if the high-temperature dust in front of him had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a huge pitch-black maze.

The Ninja Cats watching around also disappeared without a trace; in this huge pitch-black maze, it seemed as if he were the only one.

Elder Lynx was suddenly shocked: Genjutsu!

Before he could continue to be surprised, his consciousness had completely fallen into a stupor.

Because in reality, he had already suffered an irresistible heavy blow.
