LRAB Chapter 35 Breakthrough
Chapter 35 Breakthrough
Hidden beneath the sound of sand and gravel rubbing together, several figures quietly moved toward a low-lying area ahead.
Suddenly, the Sand Ninja leader, Jonin Shiro, raised his hand, and all six figures stopped moving.
Zi Luo silently calculated the distance between them; 300 meters was about right.
Under the cover of night, the Sand Ninja stealthily arrived.
But Zi Luo did not rush in; instead, she made a gesture to her subordinates.
Upon receiving the order, the sensory ninja in the team placed his palm on the ground and sensed for a moment before nodding to him.
Zilu wasn't particularly happy; he knew perfectly well that there was a Hyuga clan ninja in Konoha's team.
The name of Byakugan needs no introduction; otherwise, he wouldn't have received this mission.
Their task was to drive the infiltrating Konoha squad to the designated area.
The Sand Village's higher-ups probably had their eyes on those Byakugan eyes for a long time, which is why they went to such great lengths.
As for how to solve the problem of the caged bird, that's not something he should be thinking about.
He came here tonight intending to use a strategy of exhaustion to drive away the enemy and wear them down.
Just like the old folks in the village who train hawks, I estimate that in another three days, the hawk will collapse on its own.
But it's so quiet now. Could it be that the ninja with the Byakugan is asleep?
Impossible, he shook the absurd idea out of his mind.
Out of caution, he ordered his men to wait where they were while he went ahead to investigate.
He moved slowly, perfectly minimizing the sound of each foot landing, and got closer and closer to his target.
Gradually, a thick fog rose up around them.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, as dense fog often appeared in the Gobi Desert at night.
He only realized it was too late when the fog began to obstruct his vision.
not good!
Violet immediately blew a whistle.
The whistle, like the cry of an eagle, sounded four times in succession, while there were two places where there was no sound at all.
"Enemy attack! Move closer to me immediately!"
His shouts carried far across the empty, silent wilderness.
"ah--"
Immediately following this was a scream.
"Tianzhi!"
no answer.
Zilu immediately pulled out a burning stick, and a burst of bright red flames bloomed in the darkness.
The brilliant flames stained the surrounding fog with a blood-red hue, and hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.
The enemy made no sound, and the team members dared not make a sound either, for fear of being targeted by that demon.
suddenly!
A rumbling sound came from not far away, followed by another scream.
As a pure taijutsu ninja who cannot use ninjutsu, Zilu is completely helpless against enemy sneak attacks.
The opponent's target was very clear: they specifically targeted their own team members.
From beginning to end, he had never met the despicable man hiding in the shadows.
Two figures rushed out of the thick fog, their steps clearly somewhat flustered.
Before Zilu could determine whether the newcomer was a teammate, one of them was shot and killed by a kunai that flew out from behind the thick fog.
Right in front of him, his teammate's wide-open eyes hadn't even had a chance to close yet.
"You're asking for it!"
Zilu caught the fleeting shadow and unleashed her full power as a taijutsu jonin.
He shot out like a cannonball, and the fog exploded instantly wherever he passed.
The enemy is cunning, but once he catches him red-handed, the assassination will come to an end.
He vowed to tear his enemy to pieces, his pent-up rage churning in his chest like lava.
The corpse that had just been lying on the ground suddenly moved, and then slowly crept up behind the terrified Sand Ninja.
Hyuga Ayako easily succeeded in her sneak attack, her kunai drawing a line of blood as she finished off the last pursuing Sand Ninja.
Thanks to Mo Jingxian's technique, which is somewhat similar to the Fog Concealment Technique, but much more powerful.
Not only does it obstruct vision, but being in the fog also affects one's sense of direction and perception.
Otherwise, the two wouldn't have been able to so easily take down five enemies.
The transformation spell was broken, and using the fog as cover, she carried Ishikawa Shinki on her back and retreated southwards.
As Nara Shikata said in his first mission, sometimes wisdom is more useful than strength.
Today, she and Mo Jingxian used their wits to carry out a perfect sneak attack.
Once Mo Jingxian has run a certain distance, Hyuga Ayako should be safe.
He suddenly turned around and threw a punch at the Sand Ninja chasing behind him.
Zi Luo charged forward like a tank, neither dodging nor avoiding Mo Jingxian's fist.
They met the attack head-on, directly blasting it back.
"Bang!"
Mo Jingxian was sent flying backwards, and even the water scale armor covering her right arm exploded on the spot.
Zi Luo's hateful blow dealt a heavy blow to Mo Jingxian, and completely shattered his somewhat arrogant thoughts.
Before he even landed, his opponent appeared before him again.
"Illusion Technique: Magical Shackles!"
A glint of light flashed in Mo Jingxian's eyes, and she activated her illusion technique the moment their eyes met.
This was an intelligence black hole he deliberately left behind; since the start of his infiltration, his illusionary abilities had never been revealed.
As expected, the opponent was caught off guard and took a solid hit from the illusion.
"Bang!"
Mo Jingxian's joyful mood had just begun to surface when she was struck hard in the chest again.
The water-scaled armor shattered like a silver bottle, and the person flew away at an even greater speed.
For a fleeting moment, Mo Jingxian was stunned.
He never expected that Violet would be immune to illusions.
One slip-up resulted in severe physical damage.
A sharp pain shot through my chest.
Zilu's speed had exceeded the normal limits of a Jonin, and his figure reappeared before he even landed.
The fist rapidly enlarged in front of him, and the air exploded instantly in front of him.
Mo Jingxian's ears rang, her vision went black, and her body exploded with thousands of water lines.
The water jets shot out in a radial pattern behind us, a result of the powerful air pressure.
More than ten meters away, Mo Jingxian revealed her figure, her heart pounding wildly.
At the critical moment, he used his life-saving skill: the Water Substitution Technique.
Its water scale armor was broken, two of its breastbones were broken, and it had just jumped twice on the tip of the knife.
He had never been so close to death.
The humanoid beast opposite him unconsciously reminded him of Might Guy.
The two have too many similarities.
The same violence, the same irrationality, perfectly demonstrating what it means to overcome all skill with sheer force.
All my methods failed me against this unreasonable force!
Mo Jingxian finally experienced what it felt like to be crushed.
Violet's combat instincts were extremely sharp. The moment he landed, she was right in front of him, and her fist slammed down again.
"Bang!"
The air was blasted apart!
He narrowly escaped.
Mo Jingxian dared not hold back any longer and immediately went all out to deal with the situation.
"Ice Shield - Ice Dragon Sealing Technique!"
This ninjutsu was derived from his Water Dragon Technique, using low temperatures and sealing techniques to restrict the opponent's movements.
Currently, this is his strongest control skill.
This technique combines the activation form of a sealing technique. As soon as they started fighting, Mo Jingxian had already left a mark on Zi Luo.
This was inspired by the "Flying Thunder God" technique, leaving an anchor point coordinate for ninjutsu.
The instant he dodged Zi Luo's attack, Mo Jingxian braced himself with both hands on the ground and delivered this strike.
The sealing runes seeped into the ground like mercury, immediately restricting the opponent's movements.
But only for a moment.
He seized the opportunity and retreated accordingly.
A gigantic mouth opened from beneath Violet's feet.
next second!
The giant mouth closed, sealing Violet inside.
Black runes danced across the surface of the ice dragon, making it seem almost alive and reflecting the cold moonlight.
The ice dragon is beautiful, like a work of art.
But hidden beneath the beauty lies a deep-seated murderous intent.
This technique almost drained all of Mo Jingxian's chakra, so for safety's sake, he retreated dozens of meters away.
"Click click click..."
It sounded like porcelain cracking, initially very faint.
After Mo Jingxian retreated to a safe enough distance, two deep cracks appeared on the surface of the ice dragon.
Seeing that this technique could not control the enemy, he turned and fled.
In the quiet wilderness, the "crunching" sound was like the sound of wild dogs chewing bones.
Even from a great distance, a layer of white sweat seeped out from Mo Jingxian's back.
These weren't ninjas at all; they were monsters in human skin. Mo Jingxian seriously suspected that tonight's encounter wasn't a ninja incident, but rather something eerie.
"Bang!"
The ice dragon was forcibly ruptured from the inside by the purple violet, and the scattered ice fragments covered the gravel with a layer of white frost.
Looking in the direction Mo Jingxian had left, a hint of resentment flashed in Zi Luo's eyes.
Suddenly!
Blood rushed to her head, and Zi Luo's face turned a deep purple, as if something was moving beneath her skin.
It spread across the body, neck, and finally climbed onto the face, stretching the skin and spraying out gas.
He seemed to deflate, his tall and strong body shrinking into a tiny size.
His back was slightly hunched, and a strand of white hair appeared on his forehead.
"Seven-Day Breathing Method".
Zi Luo obtained the body-refining method from an ancient book, but unfortunately the second half was lost.
During his cultivation, he gradually filled in the gaps based on his own feelings.
The technique is very powerful; each time it is activated, it multiplies his physical abilities.
However, the side effects were equally obvious. After each use, he would become weak and needed to rest for at least half a month.
This is a technique that prematurely depletes the body's potential.
Mo Jingxian ran for twenty or thirty kilometers in one go until she collapsed, unable to continue.
He lay sprawled on the ground, gazing at the starry sky, and suddenly chuckled.
The laughter grew louder and louder, eventually turning into a series of dry coughs, which forced it to stop.
He was grateful to be alive again.
If even this monster couldn't kill me, what is there to fear about the future?
We'll just take it one step at a time, what else can we do?
After several days of fighting, he no longer dared to underestimate the heroes of the world, and he also gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.
Ninja battles rely heavily on intelligence; whoever reveals their trump card first is likely to be defeated.
Next time I encounter this Sand Ninja, I probably won't be in such a sorry state.
A sharp pain shot through her chest, and Mo Jingxian grimaced as she sat up to correct her misaligned sternum.
These techniques were taught at the ninja academy, so I didn't feel unfamiliar with using them.
It was just too much suffering.
Sweat soaked his underwear, and the cold night wind seeped in through his collar and cuffs, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
This feeling is colder than iron.
Hypothermia in the wild can really be fatal, so Mo Jingxian didn't dare to be careless and swallowed two soldier pills to recover his strength on the spot.
Without realizing it, his breathing frequency became a "breathing technique".
At first I didn’t feel anything, but as my breathing deepened, it felt like a small furnace was burning on the injured area of my chest.
The pain gradually subsided, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body.
By chance, Mo Jingxian discovered the correct way to use the breathing technique.
