For a ninja, a sword is like a gun to a soldier, a second life that cannot be easily discarded at any ti. This ninja didn't expect Luo Zheng to fight completely out of the ordinary, as the Japanese sword was initially long and not a hidden weapon, making it difficult to throw. However, he did not panic. The sword in his hand had just been parried, and the move was spent, making it impossible to return the sword to block the incoming flying blade. He used all his strength to roll, and his body barely dodged the Japanese sword, which almost grazed his back before stabbing into the ground, embedding itself in the hard marble slab and vibrating intensely.
Missing a move, Luo Zheng did not beco discouraged. On the contrary, a fierce fighting spirit surged up, ignoring the sword and stepping forward like a shadow, launching a hard kick at the target's head. The opponent, having rolled over, could not muster strength to avoid but was not nimble enough. How could they fend off Luo Zheng's furious kick?
"Puff!" The combat boot kicked fiercely at the back of the ninja's head, recoiling like a spring, strong and rugged. The ninja's body spun wildly and flew into the distance. Luo Zheng took advantage of the situation, hooking the Japanese sword that had fallen to the ground with his foot, sending it flying into the air. Then he grabbed the sword handle with a reach, stomped the ground, and propelled forward like a launched cannonball, twirling the Japanese sword flowerily, pointing directly at the target.
Luo Zheng's full-force kick was enough to crack stones and break wood. How hard is a human head? Even if it doesn't break, it could still turn the brain into mush. The ninja hit by Luo Zheng fell unconscious, lying motionless on the ground. Other ninjas saw this scene, waving their swords to block, eager to rescue that ninja.
"Kill!" Luo Zheng roared, like a ferocious tiger entering a flock of sheep, employing the blade techniques he had painstakingly practiced for over a month to the fullest, continuously hacking down blocking ninjas, carving a bloody path. After much effort getting through blocking enemies, he found that the ninja who had been knocked unconscious was already gone.
Luo Zheng knew his strength. That ninja would be a vegetable if not dead. Since he was gone, so be it. He quickly scanned the battlefield, seeing fewer and fewer enemies. Mountain Eagle and others hid in the dark, continuing to hunt down targets, creating panic among enemies, who couldn't focus on close combat with their opponents. Lan Xue was up against a master, and they were evenly matched, slightly gaining the upper hand, so there was no need to worry.
Soon, Luo Zheng noticed several people surrounding Yuanfei Zuo, who was in danger. Not far away, Xinzi wanted to rescue him but was entangled by a master and five or six ninjas and couldn't extricate herself for the mont. Luo Zheng quickly spoke through the earpiece, "Mountain Eagle, assist Xinzi."
"Understood," Mountain Eagle's voice ca over the earpiece.
Luo Zheng himself charged toward Yuanfei Zuo, advancing a few steps like a tiger out of its cage. The Japanese sword was swung like a tiger's deadly claws, ferociously chopping down enemies along the way, also saving a few of Yuanfei Zuo's subordinates from danger. With a fierce stomp, he leapt forward and severed in two an enemy ninja attacking Yuanfei Zuo. Startled, Luo Zheng glanced at the Japanese sword in his hand, then rejoiced—this sword seized from the ninja who was kicked unconscious turned out to be a legendary weapon.
"Roar!" Luo Zheng shouted loudly, launching a kick, sending a ninja attempting a backstab flying. With a flourish of the Japanese sword, he slashed three tis, forcing the powerful ninja back a few steps. Then he took a leap forward and delivered several more swift and fierce cuts, leaving the opponent only able to defend and not counterattack.
Seeing Luo Zheng coming to help, not only resolving the siege and killing two opponents but also forcing away the strongest opponent, Yuanfei Zuo's spirits lifted. With renewed fierceness, he chopped down one adversary, issuing a mighty roar. This roar echoed across the battlefield, familiar to the Kaga ninjas, who, invigorated, rose bravely to kill the enemy.
Xinzi, seeing Luo Zheng helping to resolve her father's crisis, was elated, focusing on dealing with the enemy before her. Although there were many adversaries, she no longer had worries, and her combat power increased rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she also felled two opponents, advancing towards the strong adversary.
The formidable ninja was surprised that Xinzi had strength left and quickly retreated two steps. Unwilling to miss such a good opportunity, Xinzi unleashed her bravery to pursue, only to see the opponent's head suddenly explode like a shattered waterlon, red and white matter splattering, followed by the report of a sniper rifle.
The bullet travels faster than sound; Xinzi saw the headshot before hearing the gunshot. She quickly understood that Luo Zheng's subordinates were helping secretly, rejoicing—without the strong foe's constraint, her combat power surged. With several swift slashes, she easily took down two opponents, also letting out a loud shout.
Xinzi's shout, unlike Yuanfei Zuo's steady and deep voice, carried a tallic sharpness, high-pitched, piercing, and bright, like an unsheathed sword pointing straight at the enemy's heart, terrifying them. The Kaga ninjas, hearing Xinzi's shout, each emitted strange cries in support, becoming even more fearless in battle.
Luo Zheng was unaware a single intervention changed the battlefield, forcing the target into continuous retreat. Seizing the opportunity, he found a flaw and slashed the opponent's throat, blood spraying. The body fell backward, and Luo Zheng took the chance to glance at the battlefield, finding few enemies remaining, while the estate was ablaze worse than ever.
At this ti, Lan Xue defeated her opponent, and Yuanfei Zuo killed the adversary that besieged him, all breathing heavily and roaring once again as they charged into battle; the fight needed a quick resolution.
The battle quickly beca one-sided as so Iga ninjas tried to escape, only to be snipe-killed by Mountain Eagle and others in the dark. With the burning estate behind them, their only choice was a fight to the death. The reduced numbers and loss of experts left nobody to rally the forces, turning the battle into a one-sided slaughter.
Luo Zheng grabbed Lan Xue, deciding to yield the revenge opportunity to Yuanfei Zuo, thinking they had killed enough already. There was no need to contend for it; letting Yuanfei Zuo handle it even gained goodwill. Lan Xue, understanding, nodded comprehending, and seeing no one around, asked in a low voice through the earpiece, "What's the situation with Ghost Hand?"
"Gone already, Japan's helicopter has taken off and seems to be heading toward you," Lan Xing reported.
"A helicopter?" Luo Zheng's expression sank, speaking lowly, "Gangzi, have you detected anything?"
"Not for now," Zhou Gang, hidden afar to prevent helicopter attacks, responded in the earpiece.
"About five minutes to arrival," Lan Xing's voice continued over the earpiece.
"It appears we must resolve this quickly. Mountain Eagle, Gangzi, evacuate as per the original plan." Luo Zheng's face darkened as he quickly ordered the retreat and ran towards Yuanfei Zuo.
