29. The reason to fight - life and death
"Bell"
The phantom-like blade slashed at Emma's arm, and in the collision of the hardest diamond and the blade, a series of sparks flew up, and the little girl's diamond-wrapped claws swept forward, dragging the ninja hiding in the shadows out and smashing it to the ground, and was crushed by the recurved hooves, killing her on the spot.
"It's disgusting!"
Emma shook the blood from her claws in disgust, waved her hands, and the mutant's telekinesis stirred, forcing the killers lurking around her out of the shadows, and then Catherine jumped out from under the ground and cut off her head one by one.
The two of them worked together very effectively, even if there were more villains hiding around, but at least it was impossible to hurt them until Emma's defenses were removed.
"Where did that old youkai go?"
Catherine and Emma stood back to back in the dark, and while she looked around vigilantly, she asked:
"Did he run away?"
"Nope!"
Emma whispered, "He's hiding, right around, I can feel it, this sinister guy, he's going to separate us and kill us one by one!"
"That said..."
Catherine's body suddenly disappeared in place, crossed the ground, and appeared in the darkness in extreme speed, the blade in her hand pierced the empty air, but brought out a surging blood, Catherine shook the weapon in her hand, and said contemptuously:
"He's scared of us... He doesn't dare go head-to-head with us!"
"Hell, they're professional assassins, and they're going to disturb our minds in this way. ”
"So, the Assassins are disgusting!"
Emma and Catherine scurry around like headless flies in a large labyrinth shrouded in dark spells, and they encounter a fight or two from time to time, in short, it is terrible.
Even if a group of children can fight again, they will definitely be toyed with in the face of the old killer who has lived on the tip of the knife all his life, but as Catherine said, the moment when the ninja master uses black magic to turn the surrounding air into a labyrinth, it means that he has admitted to fighting head-on, and he is indeed not the opponent of these young people.
However, the ninja master was a little negligent... In Catherine's camp, there are not no people who are proficient in concealed assassination.
"Bell Bell Bell"
The sound of rapid weapons colliding sounded somewhere in the darkness, the ghostly figure of the ninja master collided with the ninja turtles, the war knife and the war knife collided back and forth, but there was no way to break through the opponent's weakness, after a few seconds of entanglement, he quickly jumped back into the darkness, his voice fluttered from which corner:
"It's amazing, I've never seen a creature like you... I never knew that a beast could be such a good concealer and assassin, and that your attack was much like that of an orthodox ninja in Toei... Where are you from?Holy Society, or the more mysterious Five Dragons Guardian Shinobi?"
Leonardo, the eldest brother of the turtles, who has the calmest personality, did not answer this question immediately, because he knew that hiding in the dark and speaking out casually would mean exposing his position, and in the face of such a dangerous assassin, the fate of his position being exposed would mean... Death is coming.
He carefully moved his body in the darkness, according to Master Prince's teaching to them from childhood, he patrolled the dark air around him inch by inch, but found nothing, and after 2 minutes, he decided to take the risk, he said in a deep voice:
"There's a lot more that you don't know... For example, a good Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle like me, and 3... Got you!"
"Huh"
The dance of the shadow was immediately felt by Leonardo, and the katana in his hand stabbed out quickly in that direction, but it stabbed into the air, and the sense of danger came in the next moment, and the deadly blade stabbed out from his back, Leonardo's back could clearly feel the eerie chill, and he subconsciously retracted his head.
"Bell"
The blade smashed into the hard shell, causing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to lose their balance and fall to the ground.
Leonardo rolled around a few times before sticking out his head and couldn't help but wipe the back of his head, just now, he brushed past death.
"It's a... Difficult opponents. ”
The Turtle Turtle clenched his weapon and looked around repeatedly, the danger was gone, and obviously, after the blow did not reach the target, the ninja master decisively chose to leave and go in search of other prey.
This human demon who has lived for hundreds of years walks forward in the dark, which is not the same as the nervous advance of the turtles, he seems so free in the dark, his body has become accustomed to walking quietly, every attack is as standard as a thousand tempers, the darkness has become a part of his existence, only in the darkness, he can feel that different kind of peace of mind.
The human heart is unpredictable, and there are no eternal friends and rivals, but at least darkness, this thing will not betray him.
"It's always more interesting when there are more people. ”
He gripped the hilt of his sword in his left hand, and in front of him, the little Scarlet Witch Wanda was tiptoeing through the darkness alone, which would be his next prey, the darkness was his home turf, where he was almost the king of the world.
But just when the ninja master was less than 20 meters away from Wanda, another surging shadow slammed out of the darkness, swinging a heavy fist and slamming down his cheek, and the ninja master who was caught off guard subconsciously took a step back, only to have another whistling shadow arrow stabbed at his body from behind.
He dodged quickly, but his fists were locked in by the attacker in front of him, and he could only let the sharp arrow pierce through the back of the heart.
"Poof"
Blood spurted out, stabbing out of his chest with a sharp blade, and the ninja master looked down at his wound, his face did not have much pain, instead, he tilted his head and looked at the first attacker in the dark.
It was the black bat that was completely hidden in the darkness, the trialist he had been waiting for.
"It's really the strongest war weapon ever cultivated by the Shadow Warrior..."
He flicked Batman aside, reached out and grabbed the shaft of the arrow from behind his back, pulled it out of the flesh, looked at it, and threw it on the ground again.
"And my proudest disciple, it seems that you have formed an alliance, it's good... It's probably a real honor for me to have two wonderful juniors come and challenge me. ”
A sincere smile rippled across his face, and he waved his hands as the darkness around him began to surge:
"It's time to play, don't waste time... Let's go straight to the final assessment, and let me see who is qualified to take over the supreme authority of the Shadow Warrior from me. ”
"Buzz"
At this moment, Catherine, Emma, and others who did not belong to the Shadow Warrior Trial System were thrown out by the Dark Enchantment, and they stood under the scarlet light, and in front of them, there was a dark magic that occupied an entire block, and just now, they were trapped in it.
"Batman is here? I just heard the old monster. ”
Catherine turned to look at Wanda, "Can you feel the people in it?"
Wanda shook her head:
"No, the internal structure of this dark ritual is very special, I have never seen such black magic, it is obviously beyond my comprehension. ”
"Hi guys, stop chatting. ”
The turtle clenched his weapon and shouted to the others, "We're in trouble." ”
Farther on them, a malevolent Bane walked from a distance with hundreds of Shadow Warrior soldiers, and in the other direction, the remaining vampires and werewolves also ran towards them, these guys had an absolute numerical advantage and were not good at coming.
"Gotham must be destroyed!"
Bane shouted, "You are the last of the dead in this city, this is its destiny!"
"Maniac!"
Catherine clenched the weapons in her hands, and behind her, everyone was ready for battle, and this would be their last battle, the dawn of destruction, was already at hand.
"You have all been trained by the Shadow Warriors, and you are all the best warriors in the Shadow Warriors, but you have all chosen to betray!"
The ninja master was in the joint attack of Batman and Green Arrow, he seemed to be at ease, the sword swung the blade shot by the green arrow, and the free hand defused Batman's attack, and in the dark light, the wound on his chest had already healed.
"The best fighters chose to leave, and those who stayed behind were a group of middle-of-the-road people, and after the death of the previous ninja master, they actually asked me to stand up and support this organization. ”
The ninja master chattered like an ordinary old man:
"The Shadow Warrior has declined, even if it is supported by a miracle like the Pool of Lazarus, but it is still inevitably corrupted by modern civilization, look at my current subordinates, in my time, any high-level killer of the Shadow Warrior could be comparable to Bane, but now? Ah, times have changed, and ancient traditions have been abandoned, but you and I should know that justice can only be achieved with our own hands!"
"Bang"
The ninja master suddenly accelerated, his body became a real phantom in the darkness, and kicked Batman out with one kick, and the blade shot by Green Arrow was also held in his hand and thrown back in reverse.
"That's what I've spent 3 years planning this trial for..."
The ninja master stood in front of the two challengers, he raised his hands, and he said in a deep voice, "I want you to see how fragile human civilization is when it comes to the interference of foreign forces, you call yourself heroes, you want to protect civilians and punish evil, this is not in conflict with the tradition of the Shadow Warriors... I want to show you the terrifying power that the Shadow Warrior has, and think about what kind of impact it will have on the human world if this power is not used correctly..."
"I'm not trying to convince you to rejoin the Shadow Warriors, I'm just trying to say..."
A flick of the blade in the hand of the ninja master:
"Whether you choose to be evil or stick to justice, all the premises, you need power, and I, I can give you this power, even if you take the shadow warrior to transform into the guardian of human civilization, it's up to you... What I want is very simple, just the continued existence of the Shadow Warrior, that's all!"
"This is the true purpose of this trial!"
"Bang"
Batman roared and slammed his fist into the ninja master in front of him, and he shouted:
"For your damned purposes, you will first trample the soul of this city and then destroy its existence?Are you crazy! There are 800 people here! They should not be pawns for your evil purposes, and you are not qualified to give them the Last Judgment!"
"Bang"
His fist was held in the hand of the ninja master, whose body didn't even shake, and he glanced at Batman:
"Qualify or not, I've already done it, haven't I?"
"I see anger in your eyes, but I see firmness, even the ultimate anger can't interfere with your will, okay! The head of the demon should have this kind of look..."
The ninja master whispered:
"You want to save this city, right? Then come and knock me down, come and kill me... It only takes a drop of water from the pool of Lazarus to resurrect a mortal... Come and kill me, become the head of the demons, become the master of the pool of miracles, and then come and save your city!
"Enough!"
Batman's eyes shone with cold light, and a hideous and majestic black demon knife appeared in his other hand, and a cold female voice sounded along with it:
"Please use my power to the fullest, and be sure to smash everything in front of you!"
"Huh"
In a flash of cold light, the chest of the ninja master was completely cut open, his body flew upside down into the darkness, smashed a wall, and fell in embarrassment, the ground was cut out of a terrible groove, between the shadows, the black light and shadow slowly wound around Batman's body, in front of him, the ninja master stood up against the wall, the terrible wound in his chest healed little by little, he looked at Batman and the blade that shone with the dark light in his hand, he let out a low and hoarse laugh:
"Good! Yes, let such a powerful youkai be willing to use it for you... But you want to beat me... You've got to be stronger!"
