Chapter 706: Butchering Chuunin, Winning the First Battle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A black wall-like shadow appeared!
The fierce and domineering Devil's Blade headed swiftly for the severely injured Akamatsu!
Ling Yun's offensive was no longer cutting or smas.h.i.+ng, he was butchering!
Akamatsu was horrified by the chilly accuracy in which Ling Yun pinpointed his position even though he was in stealth. Nonetheless, he was a Chuunin and a Xiantian Realm Level Seven master. He could endure the severe pain from the cut that Ling Yun made and would naturally face the prospect of death calmly.
The stealth ninjutsu was undetectable unless it was someone of the same level as him, so how did Ling Yun see through it?
This wasn't the time to ponder about it. It was now the deciding moment for life and death. Akamatsu had to counter Ling Yun's attack with all his might.
Akamatsu knew that he couldn't escape such an attack from Ling Yun because Ling Yun was completely locked onto him. He would only die faster.
He could only choose to take it head-on!
"Zhen!"
Akamatsu put away the short knife and changed to the Yuki no Hikari Long Blade. He ignored the wound on his right chest, and with all his power and True Qi, countered Ling Yun's Devil's Blade!
"Whoos.h.!.+"
The two blades crossed in the air, instantly forming a huge cross. Akamatsu's Yuki no Hikari Long Blade broke into two instantly!
A part of the long blade somersaulted upwards into the sky, while Ling Yun's Devil's Blade continued falling. It was on top of Akamatsu's head instantly.
"What!" Akamatsu couldn't bear it even if he had nerves of iron. He spun to his left after a desperate decision!
"Whoos.h.!.+"
"Pfft!"
Akamatsu only managed to dodge the attack on his head by a strand of hair. Ling Yun's Devil's Blade traveled parallel along the right side of Akamatsu's neck, slicing off his right shoulder and his entire arm!
His right arm flew away with blood spewing out!
Ling Yun had landed on the ground, and he wasn't going to let him recover. With both hands on the Devil's Blade, he charged at his opponent again!
Ling Yun was secretly stunned as well. Akamatsu's arm was sliced off, but he didn't let out a cry of pain as expected. Ling Yun had to nod to such a high tolerance level.
If Akamatsu had clashed head-on with Ling Yun instead of trying to sneak up on him, the result would have been very different. Ling Yun wouldn't have been able to do much because Akamatsu had the Xiantian Realm Level Seven True Qi protecting him. Even the Devil's Blade wouldn't be able to harm him.
There was also only one Ling Yun, while Akamatsu was just the advance team from the Chen Family. There would definitely be more coming later. It wasn't to Ling Yun's advantage to fight a long battle. It would be difficult for Ling Yun to escape even if just one more with the ability of Akamatsu were to come along.
In other words, Ling Yun had underestimated a Xiantian Realm Level Seven master's ability!
However, Akamatsu was too proud. He wanted to show Ling Yun his j.a.panese ninjutsu. That was really a joke.
Ling Yun's divine sense could detect even the slightest change in the airflow. He also had the Yin-Yang Eye.
Therefore, Ling Yun acted shocked even though he actually saw Akamatsu appearing behind him so that Akamatsu would let his guard down.
Akamatsu's attack failed, while Ling Yun attacked steadily. He destroyed Akamatsu's meridians first so that he wouldn't be able to channel his True Qi to protect himself.
An Akamatsu without the protection of his True Qi became a soft tomato that Ling Yun could tackle easily.
Akamatsu's blade was broken, his arm was lost. Ling Yun's Devil's Blade came again at his right!
"Baka!"
Akamatsu became pale from the overwhelming loss of blood. Sweat the size of beads was falling down his forehead like crazy because of the insurmountable pain!
Ling Yun's Devil's Blade hit Akamatsu's right rib and caused another wound about an inch deep!
"Die! You can't escape anymore!" Ling Yun said coldly. He changed to holding the Devil's Blade with one hand and brought out the Dragon Vein Sword in his left hand. He chased Akamatsu and started chopping at him wildly!
Ling Yun didn't give Akamatsu a chance to seal his acupuncture point to stop the bleeding. No matter how powerful one was, as long as there was excessive hemorrhage, he would die. It was the same for the Blood Clan, much less a mere human.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoos.h.!.+"
"Cha… cha… cha…"
Several more stab wounds and holes appeared in Akamatsu's back! Blood flowed like a river!
All of Akamatsu's injuries were on his right. His movements had been inconvenienced, and he couldn't shake Ling Yun. He could only surrender to being beaten and could die at any time!
"Baka! Akamatsu Chuunin is hurt!"
"Let's save Chuunin-sama 1!"
A few shouts were heard. Six ninjas flew into the Chen Family's villa within the count of a breath. Ling Yun's divine sense determined that they were all ninjas below Xiantian Realm Level Seven, so he didn't bother himself with them. He concentrated his efforts on killing Akamatsu!
One more ninja killed would be one less headache when Ling Yun eventually headed to j.a.pan.
"Baka!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The six ninjas attacked Ling Yun without hesitation. Some of those with higher cultivation bases used the stealth ninjutsu immediately.
Ling Yun activated his Stellar Condensation Technique and the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to its maximum. He showcased his Shape s.h.i.+fting Technique once again, becoming five at once to confuse the ninjas. The real him shot directly towards the staggering Akamatsu.
"I'll send you to your maker now!" Ling Yun uttered mercilessly and raised his blade!
Akamatsu's head flew, followed by fresh blood shooting out like a fountain from his neck!
"Baka! He actually killed Chuunin Sensei 1!"
"We have to avenge Chuunin Sensei! Kill him!"
The eyes of the six ninjas turned blood-red when they saw Akamatsu's headless corpse. They rushed towards Ling Yun fiercely!
At the same time, the nine Barons descended to within a few hundred meters of the villa.
Chen Jianwei knew things were going downhill the moment he saw Akamatsu sustaining heavy injuries in the second round of battle. He knew better than anyone the importance of Akamatsu to these ninjas. That was why he quickly decided to swoop down to the rescue.
They flew too high, and everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was impossible for them to save Akamatsu. Chen Jianwei saw Akamatsu's head flying towards him. He gnashed his teeth, wanting to skin Ling Yun alive!
"Hmph! You few pieces of trash want to avenge your boss? Follow your Chuunin-sama to h.e.l.l!"
Ling Yun's blade took out the four lower realm ninjas, and he split into two!
Dual wielder of the blade and sword!
Using the Ninth Killing Technique with his left hand and the Celestial Destroyer Technique with his right hand, he immediately ended the lives of the other two ninjas!
"Flap, flap, flap…"
Six fully transformed Barons were now within reach of Ling Yun. Their fangs and claws were all out as they flew towards him!
It was too late to bring out the gold bow, but that didn't frazzle Ling Yun a bit. He put away the Dragon Vein Sword and brought out the Dark Storm!
"Die!" Ling Yun bellowed and jumped right into the midst of the six Barons!
"Cha… cha… cha…"
He wielded both the Devil's Blade and the Dark Storm at the same time. Ling Yun didn't bother with any techniques. He knew that the weapons in his hand could bring him instant kills!
The truth was as such. Ling Yun wasn't afraid of them coming down, he was afraid of them not coming down!
"Ah!" Four of the six transformed Barons were cut into pieces by Ling Yun. They couldn't even escape!
"Oh sh*t! What weapon is that!"
"No go, let's get out of here!"
The remaining two descendants of the Blood Clan flapped their wings desperately. They were unlucky. In their frantic need to escape, they b.u.mped into Pierce and Joyce!
Ling Yun was using a dead Baron's falling body as a springboard to jump again. He caught up with the two fleeing Barons and sliced them in two!
The Dark Storm was simply made for killing these transformed Blood Clan members.
"Oh G.o.d, what's happening!"
"Why do I feel as though I'm being conquered?"
Pierce and Joyce were shocked. They stared at the Dark Storm in Ling Yun's hand and forgot to flap their wings!
Ling Yun created two wounds on these two Barons and squeezed out two drops of blood from his right index finger!
Two drops of fresh blood entered Joyce and Pierce's wounds at lighting speed!
The Embrace!
"Har!" Ling Yun landed and ignored the two Blood Clan members undergoing The Embrace. He stored his blade and sword and took out the gold bow!
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Three arrows flew towards Chen Jianwei, who was within a hundred meters, in succession!
All three arrows, which were infused with pure Yang True Qi, entered Chen Jianwei's wounds, destroying his flesh and his meridians!
"Ah!" Chen Jianwei didn't dare to remove the arrows. Instead, he flapped his wings hard and escaped from the Chen Family villa!
Ling Yun won the first battle!
