Chapter 710: The Most Dangerous Moment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The ninja leader named Mitsui had a pair of broom-like eyebrows. His triangular-shaped eyes radiated an icy, cruel glare. He stared at the members of the Ling Family in the backyard and laughed. “Yamada-kun, I’ll take on the slaughtering of the four Xiantian Realm members of the Ling Family. That member of the Blood Clan is yours to handle!”
Yamada knew that Mitsui Family sent 150 ninjas with the Japanese Army to invade Huaxia during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1. They were murdered by Huaxia patriots in Huaxia. None of them made it back to Japan alive. That was why the Mitsui Family had a deep-seated hatred towards the Prestigious Martial Arts Clans of Huaxia.
Yamada didn’t intend to snatch from Mitsui anyway. They were both going to attack, so it was a matter of seconds to them. He didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, he waved his hand towards the remaining 28 ninjas and gave an indifferent order. “Kill! No one should remain alive!”
The ninjas charged without a word towards their enemy immediately upon the command.
At the same time, Yamada and Mitsui disappeared into thin air!
Stealth ninjutsu!
Cui Lao’s bronzed face changed, and he screamed, “Be careful, Family Head! All men of sacrifice, protect the members of the Ling Family!”
Cui Lao knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived. He activated the Dragon Elephant Divine Force immediately to increase his combat power by six times!
Strength, speed, skill, protection from Xiantian True Qi, his five senses, everything. It all increased by six times from the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Two!
The Ling Family had less than fifty men of sacrifice left. They had a tacit understanding between them, each holding a sword in hand and facing outwards, forming an impenetrable circle. Their eyes were firm and determined!
Not one of them flinched as they saw the ninjas charging towards them!
The men of the Ling Family would rather die standing than kneel and beg for life!
“Slap!”
A resounding slap!
Chester was the first one to respond when he saw those ninjas trying to breach the wall. He grabbed two of the lower level ninjas and twisted their necks!
Chester had an inhuman amount of strength. The brains of these two ninjas exploded like watermelons, and juice flew through the cracks!
“Baka!”
Chester’s feet had yet to touch the ground when he heard a scream from behind him. A dazzling knife appeared out of thin air and shot towards him!
Yamada no longer maintained his stealth as he attacked. His elongated body was exposed as he flew up. He was less than two meters away from Chester!
“Sh*t! I hate ninjutsu!”
Chester turned cold as the knife closed in on him. He knew he wouldn’t be able to hide from Yamada’s attack, so he cursed. His feet slammed against the high wall, and he shot towards him!
“Dong!”
“Rumble!”
The thick wall received a hole larger than two meters and collapsed directly. Smoke filled the air!
Chester might be fast, but Yamada launched a sneaky attack. How could Chester escape from a Xiantian Realm Level Seven attack so easily?
“Swish!”
The cold blade slit Chester’s waist, and warm blood gushed out and instantly dyed Chester’s body red!
“Ah!”
Pain! It was a heart drilling pain!
Chester regained temperature in his body after The Embrace by Ling Yun. Naturally, his blood had also become warm, and he had a blush to his skin. All of that pointed towards his body becoming human.
That meant that he could feel pain many times stronger than he could when he was of the Blood Clan. How could he withstand it?
Chester yelled into the sky in pain. His fangs grew rapidly, and his eyes turned purple. At the same time, his whole body swelled up rapidly, and his hands became two huge claws!
“Flap, flap, flap…”
Chester flapped his wings hard and shot up into the sky just in time to avoid the second attack from Yamada!
“Honorable Boss, Chester is willing to accept any punishment from you, but right now, Chester has to transform!”
Chester hovered at a height unreachable by Yamada and started healing his injuries.
Chester was seriously injured just now. The one-foot long knife had cut through his left waist and exited from his back. Any normal human would have perished on the spot!
However, his healing power was also terrifying after he received The Embrace from Ling Yun. After all, he now had purple eyes and the qualification to become a first-generation member of the Blood Clan. In actual fact, Chester had even surpassed a Lord.
Yamada’s Yuki no Hikari Long Blade might be sharp, but it wasn’t the Devil’s Blade, nor was it the Dark Storm. It wouldn’t be able to deliver a fatal blow to Chester.
“Japanese dog, I swear to Satan, oh, no, I swear to my honorable boss that I will kill you personally!”
At this time, the remaining ninjas had already reached the sixth courtyard and engaged with the Ling Family once more. Chester didn’t wait for his injury to fully heal before swooping down. He rushed towards Yamada with outstretched claws!
Yamada wasn’t the least bit afraid. He held his blade with both hands and shot towards Chester again!
“Hmph!” Chester dodged and then moved forward violently, grabbing the blade with his strong arms!
Kacha! Yamada’s blade was broken in two!
Chester took half of Yamada’s blade and flew up into the sky once more. He aimed at a ninja attacking the four descendants of the Ling Family and shot it directly into his back!
It went right through his heart. The four of them surrounded him and minced him before he even felt any pain!
Chester grinned and flew back down to Yamada, entangling him so that he wouldn’t be able to join his comrades.
Ninjas had their ninjutsu and their stealth abilities, while the Blood Clan had their wings and strength, and they were also not afraid of getting hurt. It was difficult to say who had the upper hand.
In the sixth courtyard!
The ninjas split into four groups of six or seven immediately and took on the four walls of men of sacrifice!
“Men of sacrifice of the Ling Family, hear my command! You don’t have to protect me, Ling Lie, but you have to protect the descendants!”
Ling Lie ordered and jumped straight out of the protection of the men of sacrifice. He took the lead and smashed towards the ninjas!
The command from the head of the family couldn’t be defied!
The men of sacrifice saw how Ling Lie took the vanguard position, and their morale was boosted. All of them desperately formed a barrier around the four descendants and blocked the advances of the first wave of seven ninjas!
After a series of clashes, seven men of sacrifice crumpled to the floor, seriously injured!
On the other hand, out of the seven ninjas, three sustained light injuries, two broke their arms, and two broke their legs!
Blood and flesh flew around, and the scene was extremely graphic!
Everyone knew that the head of the family did that because he wanted them to protect the future of the Ling Family! How could they not give their best?
The men of sacrifice would bite a piece of meat off the ninjas even if they were heavily wounded!
“I don’t need your protection either! Kill them!”
Ling Zhen and Ling Yue followed Ling Lie’s example and jumped out as well. They flew to the sides of Ling Lie, desperately fending off attacks and sustaining injuries!
“Be careful!”
Cui Lao shouted in distress. He also increased his senses to their limits to detect even the slightest movement in the air as he sought the position of the leader of the ninjas.
However, there was too much clatter in the courtyard. Cui Lao couldn’t be sure of Mitsui’s whereabouts, despite having activated his Dragon Elephant Divine Force.
“Hehe, that’s the best… lessen my trouble!”
Mitsui used his stealth ninjutsu and hid in a dark corner. He was actually less than ten meters away from Ling Lie and his sons. He was taking advantage of the chaos in the courtyard to quietly move towards Ling Lie.
In fact, to someone at Xiantian Realm Level Seven, ten meters was enough to reach and kill someone in an instant. He wasn’t satisfied with just that, he wanted to take Cui Lao down together with Ling Lie and his sons.
Ling Lie and his sons knew about the stealth ninjutsu Mitsui used. However, more than a dozen men of sacrifice collapsed on the ground. There were so few of them left. They had long discarded their lives, and their current philosophy was to bring at least one down with them.
The three of them were in a triangular formation — Ling Zhen on the left, and Ling Yue on the right. They were blocking Ling Lie, once again fighting many Xiantian Realm ninjas!
However, the difference in their strengths showed very quickly. The Ling Family was forced to turn from attack to defense. They were being cornered by the Xiantian Realm ninjas!
“Cha… cha… cha…”
Ling Lie and his sons suffered wounds, and their bodies shook involuntarily. A fatal hole soon appeared in their defense!
“Kill!”
Mitsui finally found the right timing! He laughed sinisterly and cut through the night sky, heading towards Ling Lie and his sons!
He meant it to be a fatal blow!
The Ling Family had reached its most dire moment!
