The Blade-Wielding Legend

A dozen elite ninjas pounced like leeches, their blades sharp and at cunning angles, targeting the lower body and vital points.

They not only excelled in Swordsmanship but were also adept at joint attacks and strange Ninjutsu.

Two ninjas formed seals with both hands and chanted quickly, causing fallen leaves on the ground to suddenly rotate and rise, forming two small whirlwinds of dead leaves that obscured vision, sweeping towards Li Yan and Sha Lifei.

On the other side, a ninja threw several spheres that exploded into large clouds of pungent purple smoke upon landing, carrying a strong paralyzing effect.

"Break the Evil!"

Wang Daoxuan performed a Mantra, igniting a few Yellow Talismans that he had prepared in his hand.

Instantly, a fierce wind howled, dispersing the toxic smoke.

Long Yan’er flicked her fingers, sending several Gu Worms silently flying towards the ninja closest to her.

The ninja’s body paused, his face showing pain, as something seemed to wriggle under his skin, distorting his movements.

Wu Ba charged into the enemy group like a bear, grabbing a ninja’s wrist with his large hands as powerful as fans, and with a twist, a "crack" sounded, breaking the bone, using him as a human shield smashed towards another incoming enemy.

"Clang clang clang!" The sound of weapons clashing was as dense as rain.

Kong Shangzhao’s sword was fast, steady, and accurate, with each strike targeting the ninja’s joints or the wrist holding the blade, forcing them into a sorry state.

Sha Lifei’s flintlock gun roared continuously, with tremendous destructive power.

Lv San guarded near the Night Crying Man’s coffin, using a pair of steel cones in his hands to point, poke, sweep, and shove, driving back ninjas trying to approach.

The battle seemed intense but not perilous.

The ninjas were fighting desperately with every move meant to be fatal, but Li Yan and his companions clearly had superior strength, handling them with ease.

They intended to end the fight quickly, but these ninjas kept coming, fearless of death, sometimes encircling, sometimes harassing with strange ninja techniques.

"Something’s not right!"

Li Yan frowned slightly, "They’re stalling for time!"

"Break through, we need to leave this place!"

Upon the command, everyone understood and stopped holding back.

Lv San patted the demon gourd at his waist.

Buzz!

A dense swarm of poison bees instantly roared out like black smoke.

After long periods of rest, the demon gourd had recovered, and its power was even stronger.

The poison bee swarm buzzed, spreading like ink to cover the circle of ninjas.

Horrific cries erupted one after another, with ninjas stung by the poison bees convulsing all over, their skin swelling and rotting at a visible speed, distorting and slowing their movements, instantly exposing a huge flaw in the encirclement.

"Break through!" Li Yan lowly shouted, slicing two obstructing ninjas in half with the Duan Chen Blade, charging through the gap amidst the bloody storm.

However, a chilling sharp aura suddenly locked onto Li Yan!

The female ninja leader, who had been commanding from the rear, moved.

She formed complex and bizarre seals with her hands, rapidly chanting obscure syllables, causing the air around to twist violently, and a sharp will not belonging to her, settled with the dust of ages, suddenly descended!

Buzz!

The long sword at her waist vibrated by itself, emitting a clear and distant dragon’s roar.

The blade seemed to come alive, flowing with cold moonlight.

Black smoke rose at her feet, twisting around, vaguely forming the figure of a Japanese swordsman wearing a bamboo hat, quickly merging back into the female ninja’s body.

Her eyes suddenly became hollow and deep, as if instantly occupied by the soul of an ancient swordsman.

Whoosh!

Her originally swift movement technique suddenly elevated to an incredible level.

Her toes touched lightly on the grass leaves, her figure turning into a blurred afterimage, silently bypassing the chaotic battlefield, launching towards Li Yan’s back.

The speed was so fast, it dragged several indistinguishable shadowy figures behind!

"Divine Strike? Possession? No..."

Li Yan’s pupils contracted, his heart alarm bells ringing.

He had seen experts use Divine Strike, requiring painstaking preparation and easily affecting the mind. It broke through the limits of Human World Techniques and was far from ordinary Japanese Ninjutsu...

It was Daluo Divine Power!

Moreover, a type of summoning Divine Power never seen before!

Before the sword arrived, the condensation of murderous intent was as substantial as it pierced his spine with chills, seemingly targeted by countless invisible sharp blades.

Li Yan stomped heavily on the ground, fully activating North Emperor Mysterious Water Escape.

His figure slipped oddly between the muddy fallen leaves, narrowly avoiding the silent and deadly backstab.

Whoosh!

The blade swept through the air, the sharp wind it raised silently slicing open the fabric on his shoulder.

The female ninja missed her strike, her figure melding like a specter into the shadows of the trees, her breath disappearing in an instant, only to silently reappear from another tricky angle the next moment, aiming the knife tip at Li Yan’s side!

Her movements were fluidly connected, completely void of any mundane air.

Li Yan’s brow slightly furrowed, his foot stepped back into the Mud Stepping technique.

A Swordsmanship Master from Japan...

No wonder she dared to come and intercept, this female ninja certainly has some skill.

The skills of a Grandmaster, even the Escape Technique is enhanced; even if using Divine Skills, there’s a time limit, still enough to make everyone headache.

"Die!"

Sha Lifei roared, the flintlock gun thundered, but only shattered a phantom.

Lv San’s Poison Bees attempted to track, but were thrown off by the bizarre airflow stirred by the opponent’s figure, unable to get close.

This summoning of Ancient Sword Hero’s reinforced Escape and Blade Techniques has already surpassed common sense!

Swish!

The female ninja reappeared, her target was Ah Shi.

"Get out of the way!"

Tanui Nagashige was urgently alarmed, performing a mantra while swinging the folding fan in hand.

It seemed like dancing, but streams of green ghastly flames surged out from his body.

However, this powerful spell couldn’t stop the female ninja at all.

Her figure flashed, swinging the knife to disperse the flames, fortunately, Sha Lifei fired in time, leveraging the precision of Man and Gun as One to force her back.

Li Yan’s eyes were icy cold, the Soul Hook snapped forth with a clatter.

This Possession Evil Technique, the core must lie in the forced alien soul!

Only by using the Divine Transformation Technique of Nether God Transformation can he keep up with the speed and banish the possessing evil soul from her body.

Whoosh—!

Just then, an extreme cold swept in unannounced from the direction of the dilapidated monastery.

It felt as though winter instantly descended, the white breath exhaled within everyone’s breaths instantly crystallizing into ice. The damp soil, and the surrounding vegetation and branches rapidly covered with a layer of dead still frost visible to the naked eye.

An invisible chill permeated the air.

Visibility wasn’t hindered, yet within view, seemingly several blurry, twisted immense phantoms loomed faintly within the cold mist, emanating an inhuman ferocity.

"The Snow Woman Shikigami!"

Tanui Nagashige’s voice carried a hint of tremble, eyes fixed on the direction of the monastery.

"Quick, it’s those old demons!"

Wang Daoxuan’s Turtle Shell Compass needle crazily shivered, pointing towards the center of the frost, he spoke deeply: "Evil Qi Condensation! There’s something formidable hosting the array! It’s locking our vital energy and blood to cast spells!"

He mentioned something formidable.

The one controlling the Shikigami isn’t a human, thus its power is so astounding.

Everyone felt their limbs stiffen, their vital energy circulating poorly.

Even Lv San’s Poison Bee swarm was affected by the chill, its wings becoming sluggish.

Below the mountain, scattered torches suddenly lit up, like winding fiery serpents, accompanied by noisy shouts and heavy footsteps, rapidly converging from all directions towards the mid-section of Anma Mountain!

Those were a large group of Monk Soldiers and Foot Soldiers.

Evidently, the disturbances from the earlier battle already alerted the outer guards.

Facing an attack from the possessed ninja, locked in an extreme cold domain created by powerful Shikigami, and surrounded by a large troop from below the mountain.

Everyone instantly fell into a desperate situation!

At this critical moment—

"Roar——!"

A deafening roar exploded! It was Wu Ba!

This wild giant had been roused to blood-red eyes by the spectral enemies and the biting cold. Seeing Li Yan entangled by the possessed female ninja, companions suppressed by the cold, torches approaching from below the mountain, he furiously erupted, his wild bloodline seemingly set aflame.

Without much thought, following the most primal combat instincts, he suddenly thrust forward the heavy artillery on his shoulder.

It was that modified "Tiger-Squat Cannon."

The cannon’s mouth deep, aimed directly towards the direction of the dilapidated monastery.

BOOM——!!!

A thunderous, terrifying blast ripped through the pitch-black night sky in an instant.

The cannon mouth spewed out several feet of orange-red flames, rolling smoke surged like a monster! Countless dense iron sands, shattered iron accompanied by a staggering shock wave formed a destructive metal storm, furiously racing towards the monastery ruins...
