Chapter 15: The Power of Ninjas
Holding his injured left arm, Shigeaki stood on a tall tree trunk despite the blood dripping from his fingers, his eyes anxiously searching for the traces of Princess Hideko.
As a kagenin, it is a natural duty to protect his master at all times, but now he has lost Princess Hideko......
The red-haired monster was so powerful that he and the four ninja masters couldn't subdue it, so he had to resort to delaying tactics to distract the monster as much as possible and slow him down in chasing the princess. As a result, not only were the four shinobi killed one after another, but the red-haired monster escaped from his sight.
It's a pity,Oda's ninja army,Including the master, they all belong to Iga Stream.,Good at fighting but negligent in ninjutsu.,This time I met a demon.,Any attackγHidden weapons are really difficult to work.,Suffered a big loss.,It seems that in the future, I'm going to propose with the master and the lord.,Recruit more Koga-ryu ninjas.γ
At the thought of the red-haired monster, Chongming suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Under the master's secret order, he has been following this demon for many days, and a few days ago he also saw this demon fighting with a Middle Earth Taoist priest, the scene was very intense, and he still has lingering palpitations when he thinks about it.
Now, he felt that this guy was extremely difficult to deal with, and he couldn't even surrender by manpower, so he led the four ninjas to do everything they could, stabbing the acupuncture with a stabbing knife, attacking the soft underbelly, hidden weapons, firearms, poisonous smoke, etc., all of which were easily defused by him.
What's even more strange is that he recently discovered that many cases of missing girls in and around Gifu Castle were all committed by this monster, but the master only let him secretly monitor and not stop it, and he couldn't act rashly.
Later, the government's efforts were fruitless, and finally Oda-sama ordered the ninja army to secretly assist in the investigation, and the master allowed him to act at the opportunity, but he must be reported to him before strictly ordering the action.
However, today, seeing Princess Hideko in distress, Chongming was anxious for a while, and made a hasty move, but he didn't expect to lose the lives of four ninjas, and also lost the princess......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh......
"Who?" Shigeaki felt the breath on the other side.
As he shouted, a ninja wearing a black tights, a ninja scarf, a light veil covering his face, and fast boots on a footstool floated down from the tree opposite.
Although there is a light gauze cover, and the facial features cannot be seen, but from the slender bangs and the concave and convex body, it can be seen that a female ninja came.
"Senior brother." The female ninja stepped forward a few steps, knelt down, and bowed deeply to Chongming.
"Leaning on the ear? What are you doing here? β
"I am here to answer Senior Brother on the orders of Master." After leaning on the ear, he looked up and exclaimed, "You are injured!" β
Chongming looked at the blood stains on his left arm, and said lightly: "It's just a skin injury, it's not in the way." β
Although she couldn't see Yi'er's expression at this time, from her nervous eyes, she could clearly perceive that she cared about her senior brother unusually.
Yi Er stood up, took out emergency medicine from the treasure bag, and temporarily bandaged Chongming's wound.
Chongming didn't refuse, and waited for the junior sister to finish bandaging before he spoke: "Master sent you here, do you have any other instructions?" β
"Master already knows the difficulties you have encountered." Yi'er's eyes never left Chongming, and continued: "His old man asked me to pass on a message to you, be sure to protect the woman who is with Princess Hideko." β
"What?" Chongming frowned, then his expression darkened, and he said, "I know, I will definitely do what Master wants." β
As a ninja, he is absolutely obedient to the deep marrow, and he can't have any doubts about the orders of his superiors or employers, let alone ask "why", but, obviously, Shigeaki has doubts about his master's orders.
Yi'er saw the change in the senior brother's expression, his eyes slowly drooped, and he lowered his head and said, "Master also asked me to bring you a word, as a last resort, you can sacrifice the princess to protect ......"
"Okay, I see......" Chongming interrupted his junior sister's words, turned around dejectedly, and prepared to leave.
Yi'er knew that it was extremely dangerous to go here, so he hurriedly called out to his senior brother: "Wait, I'll go with you to find the princess."
"Did Master let you stay?" Chongming didn't turn around, and asked lightly.
"No, but ......"
"Your mission is complete, you can go back."
"However, Master didn't say ...... either"
"Execute the order!"
Yi Er thought that under the pretext that the master did not explicitly let her go back immediately to resume her life, she stayed to help her senior brother, but was interrupted by Chongming, so she had to stand in place and watch her brother jump a few times and disappear into the jungle......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At this time, the night had fallen, and Princess Xiuzi, who was looking for by Chongming, was under a big tree, gradually fading away from the fright, and watched Long Shaocong and Jiutian debate with great interest.
Long Shaocong took out his two-skinned face spirit, and messed around there, delaying time with his life, dreaming that when the time came, the wine would automatically burst and die, or some miracle would occur, which could be described as extremely "vicious" with his intentions.
At the beginning, Long Shaocong refused to admit that he had lost the gamble, and Leng said that Jiutian had done something on the grass, which was a violation.
Unexpectedly, Jiu Tian did not accept the offer, but said contemptuously that if he thought it was unfair, he could re-compare, but this time he asked Long Shaocong to throw first.
Long Shaocong saw that he couldn't make a plan, rolled his eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll admit defeat, what do you say next." β
"Quite simply, I'm going to eat one of the two of them."
"Wait." Long Shaocong raised his hand and stopped: "I remember, it seems that I have to tell you the origin of this boy cut first, and then the problem of eating."
Jiutian said impatiently: "Speak quickly." β
Long Shaocong smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "If you want to talk about the origin of this treasure blade, it is ......"
As a result, Long Shaocong opened the sky from Pangu in the flood era, and talked all the way, Dayu ruled the water, King Wu cut down, the Spring and Autumn Troubled Times, the unification of the Qin Emperor, and the Chu and Han Dynasty contended......
He spat and sprayed a lot, but he hadn't even touched the edge of the knife, let alone cut the boy in his hand.
Jiu Tian has become more and more annoyed the more he listens: "Just say directly, where did you get this knife in your hand, and who gave it to you?" The deity will go to him to settle accounts, and don't talk about these useless things, otherwise he will annoy the deity and kill you together! β
"Wait, don't interrupt yet, I'm all foreshadowing in front of me, and I'll talk about knives soon."
"Hurry up!"
"Look, as soon as you get out of the way, I have to think again, and Chu and Han are competing...... After Chu Han, yes? Long Shaocong thought for a while, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it's the separation of the three kingdoms!" β
"Three Kingdoms, you know. There is a person under Liu Bei of Shu who is too tall, three feet long, his face is like a heavy jujube, his voice is like a giant bell, his surname is Guan, his name is Yu, his word cloud is long, his crotch is red and red rabbit horse, and the green dragon Yanyue knife is in his palm. β
Long Shaocong waved his hand and put on a very handsome posture, as if he was a storyteller, and then said: "After Guan Yu died, the heavens were gods, and the Qinglong Treasure Knife in his hand became the ancestor of ten thousand knives. β
When Long Shaocong said this, he deliberately paused, peeked at the other party's reaction, and saw Jiu Tian nodding thoughtfully......
As soon as he saw the wine, Long Shaocong was secretly happy in his heart, but if he made it up again, he would be exposed.
Because, Long Shaocong thought, if the Qinglong knife and the boy are directly involved, then the story will end immediately, so it will take several twists and turns in the middle to see today's world......
Long Shaocong's original intention was to say that Tong Ziqi was the great-grandson of the great-grandson of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, or even a tick-tock grandson, but the process in the middle could only be made up, and the more he said it, the more outrageous it became, and he was caught by the other party at once.
Jiu Tianqing knew that he was being teased, and suddenly his eyes were violent, and he roared: "Long Shaocong, don't think that you have saved me, the deity will be polite to you, stubborn, and the deity will kill you together tonight." β
Long Shaocong complained in his heart, blaming himself for being careless for a while, now there is no other way but to fight to the death, thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the boy tightly.
But just when Long Shaocong was about to fight to the death, Jiu Tian suddenly turned around and blocked with one hand, and several shuriken were pushed aside by him and nailed deeply to the trunk of the tree next to him.
A black shadow flew down from the sky like a ghost, and the short knife in his hand plunged straight into the Heavenly Spirit Gai of the Wine Heaven......
Jiu Tian didn't look up, smiled slightly, and took a diagonal step back, dodging the swift blow that fell from the sky.
Long Shaocong recognized that it was the ninja who was fighting in the woods during the day.
Chongming saw that the blow missed, and after his feet landed, he quickly shortened his body, rushed forward to the feet of Jiutian, and the two ninja knives focused on the next plate. He wanted to take the lead when the other party had not yet revealed his true identity.
Jiutian was suddenly attacked, but he was not flustered, and he was dodging, but he always had a contemptuous smile on his face.
Chongming's double knives are getting faster and faster, the knife in his left hand is shaking, and the knife in his right hand is hitting the opponent's calf, and he can't help but feel happy in his heart. However, Jiutian did not react, but quickly raised his right foot and kicked it into Chongming's left shoulder.
Chongming was kicked and flew straight out, and fell on his back.
Jiu Tian snorted coldly, his eyes were like electricity, as if he was treating his prey, and slowly walked towards his opponent, a powerful aura that made everyone present shudder.
But just as he was approaching Chongming, there was a sudden explosion, and smoke rose, suddenly obscuring Jiutian's vision.
When the smoke cleared, everyone present found that the front of the wine sky was empty, as if no one had ever appeared.
Jiu Tian's eyebrows twisted, he turned around suddenly, and threw a punch, which hit the chest of the sneak attacker, only to hear a muffled snort, and Chongming fell to the ground heavily.
Long Shaocong clearly saw that Chongming quickly escaped through the smoke, and in a blink of an eye, he broke out behind Jiutian, the whole process was extremely fast, and the scene that later generations could only see in film and television, I didn't expect it to exist in reality, it seems that there are really too many things in this world, which violates common sense.
But Jiutian was faster than Daming, and with a return blow, the offensive was resolved. At this time, Chongming fell to the ground on his back, spitting blood from his mouth, and tried to struggle to stand up several times, but all ended in failure, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
Chongming watched his opponent walking towards him step by step, his hands couldn't help touching his waist, his eyes refocused his light from sloppy, and his breathing became more and more stable, five feet, four feet, three feet, two feet......
Chongming's left hand flicked suddenly, and a short blade dragged a slender chain, as fast as lightning, shooting straight into the opponent's cheek......
Jiu Tian's head was tilted and he dodged this sneak attack, but he saw the other party's right hand Yang, and another chain flying knife came straight to his face......
The flying knife came very fast, and it was like a lightning speed, but Jiutian turned sideways and dodged again.
Seeing that the two flying knives were flying past him, Jiu Tian couldn't help but sneer in his heart, expecting that the other party had nothing to do.
But just when he was careless, he saw Chongming smiling and was wondering, but he saw that the two chain knives turned to his chest again, and they did not stop, but arranged flowers, one left and one for each other, and flew backwards.
I didn't know what trick the other party was playing, but I suddenly saw Chongming's hands shake, the chains tightened instantly, and Jiutian was taken by this force, and his body couldn't help but fall backwards......
This move is really ingenious, it is a flying knife to hurt people, and secretly it is indeed two chains that hide the real killing intention......
The three of Long Shaocong, who were watching the battle, watched the chains "fly" over Jiutian like flowing water, and wrapped around the trunk of a tree about seven feet behind Jiutian, and flew back again, as if they were stained with magic power, the cycle was repeated, and as soon as Chongming collected it with force, he trapped Jiutian firmly on the tree......
The three of them couldn't help but stay there, Long Shaocong and Meizi needless to say, even Oda Hideko Although he had been in contact with ninjas, such a wonderful fight was the first time he had seen it in his life.
Seeing that the blow was hit, Shigeaki couldn't help but jump up from the ground, picked up the ninja knife and rushed towards the wine sky. Because he knows that the opponent's strength is far above him, and if he doesn't seize the opportunity and wait for the opponent to fight back, he will have no chance of winning.
But just when his blade was about to slash the opponent's neck, he saw Jiu Tian stop drinking, and a red light came straight to Chongming's door.
Chongming screamed badly, his body struggled to push back, and at the same time an iron plate bridge came, and his waist was bent down at ninety degrees, but he felt that the strong wind was gusting, blowing across his cheeks like a knife......
Jiu Tian shook the chains with a heavy drink, and saw that the other party had actually dodged his "Nine Yuan True Qi", and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and he flew up with his feet again, and stepped on Chongming's lower abdomen firmly.
Under such a heavy blow, Chongming snorted and fell to the ground heavily, and his face towel fell, revealing a slender and handsome face.
Jiutian was very angry, if it weren't for his own skills, killing this person at his feet would be like stepping on a bed bug!
I saw that his eyes showed a fierce light, and he slowly raised his right foot......
Chongming knew that his deadline had come, so he simply closed his eyes and said in his heart: Princess Hideko, her subordinates are not well protected, so I went first, please take care of your Highness.
Seeing this scene, Oda Hideko and Meizi couldn't help but exclaim, Long Shaocong nervously clenched Tong Ziqi, ready to rush straight over, no matter what, he had to save the ninja in front of him......
But just as Long Shaocong rushed out a few steps, he saw a group of golden butterflies suddenly flying from the west, surrounding the wine sky......
