Where Did This Monster Come From?
Chapter 94 Where Did This Monster Come From?
"What do you think of Hozuki Gengetsu?" Yura asked.
With a look of disdain and disgust on her face, Yukihime said, "Noisy, arrogant little mustache." She was someone who particularly loved the tranquility of the icy world.
Yukihime looked at Yura and said coldly, "You're not very strong, but you like to talk big. Last time, you were beaten so badly by Mu from the Land of Earth that you were bedridden for almost half a year, weren't you?"
Jieluo said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Gengetsu will be the next Mizukage."
Yuki nodded knowingly and looked at Yukiro, saying, "If there are no surprises, I've heard that the next Mizukage will be chosen from among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It's said in the Land of Water that the next Mizukage will be chosen from among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Jielu clapped his hands and said, "It's great that you understand. How about it, do you want to help me seize the position of the Second Mizukage?"
Yukihime stared at Yura without saying a word. After a long while, she sneered and said, "Then why don't I personally go down to compete for the position of the Second Mizukage?"
"Oh?" Jieluo chuckled. "Are you sure you can be a match for Hozuki Gengetsu once we leave this icy wasteland?"
The two appeared to be evenly matched, but in reality, Hozuki Gengetsu's strength was being suppressed too much. If they were to fight in a normal environment, it would be hard to say who would win.
"Do you have the ability?"
"Strength?" Yukihime sneered, "Then, do you have the strength to seize the position of Mizukage?"
"In the end, we still need to see each other's strength," Jieluo said. "I've come here with only one purpose: to complete the mission and bring the Snow Clan back to the village, or to raze the entire Snow Clan to the ground. Snow Princess, you have no choice."
Yukihime's pupils suddenly contracted, and she coldly shouted, "Stop talking big, come at me!"
The next second, the entire ice mirror shattered, and Yukihime shrank back into the ice mirror, returning to the top floor of the castle tower, gazing at the tiny black dot-like ninja figure on the opposite mountain forest.
On this icy, snowy land, no one can defeat her! No one!
Snow Princess's forehead was covered in sweat; this battle had reached a critical moment for the survival of the Snow Clan.
"As expected of the proud Snow Clan." Gazing at the distant castle tower, Yura shook her head, then looked at Terumiko. Terumiko nodded knowingly, took out her whistle, and blew it.
The whistle echoed through the mountains and forests, sweeping across the landscape, causing snow to fall softly from the treetops.
The Hidden Mist ninja drew their weapons in unison, their cold gazes fixed on the castle in the valley, their roars echoing, "Attack! Attack!"
On the snowy ground at dawn, a dark mass of people surged down the mountain like a tide.
In the air, Jieluo stood up, and as she raised her hand, thousands of black butterflies continuously flew out from her sleeve.
Unseen butterflies fluttered about, their strands of hair forming a crisscrossing web.
Dark Secret Technique. External Style. Hell Butterfly Technique. Jie Luo lifted her foot and stepped into the air, placing one foot on a silk thread, and strolled through the void.
Behind Yura, Lucy flapped her wings, dragging him along, and swooped down towards the ninja battlefield below.
Inside the castle tower, as Yukihime watched Yura walk straight towards her from the sky, her pupils contracted slightly. Could this ability to walk through the void mean she could fly?
"Your Highness!"
Without needing her subordinates to remind her, Yukihime said coldly, "Let's begin! Let them see what the Yuki clan is all about!"
"ha!"
In the arena, the elite members of the Snow Clan responded in unison. Then, a dozen or so Snow Clan Jonin joined forces to form hand seals and simultaneously pressed their palms onto the floor, which had frozen solid at some point.
"Ice Release: Blizzard Technique!"
The wind picked up, and the temperature plummeted to minus twenty-five degrees Celsius. Then, a howling wind howled, and large snowflakes fell in the valley. In the blink of an eye, the snow turned into a blizzard, howling and sweeping across the entire mountain forest castle. The world instantly turned into a terrifying white expanse. The blizzard howled, and everyone, along with the buildings, was submerged in a continuous blizzard, with visibility less than a meter.
No matter how large the ninja force, they would all be lost in the blizzard unleashed by the Snow Clan.
This time will be no exception!
Sweat beaded on her forehead, and Yuki clenched her delicate fists, a hint of unease in her eyes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three loud explosions, the deafening roar of numerous detonating tags, pierced through the blizzard and reached Yuki's ears.
If this blizzard were in the wilderness, it could stop any enemy in their tracks, but at this moment, they were already too close.
The battle has already begun.
Yuki glanced at the elite subordinates inside the room, waved her hand, and said coldly, "Go!"
"Ha!" The group of ninjas instantly disappeared.
As Yukihime gazed at the howling blizzard outside the window, suddenly, the snow pierced through, and with the splashing of snowflakes, something shot out from the snow, aiming straight for Yukihime's face.
A terrifying killing intent enveloped her entire body. Yuki's pupils suddenly contracted. As she turned to the side, something grazed her face and slammed heavily into her back. On the wall covered with a thick layer of ice, jagged cracks spread across the ice.
Yuki turned her head and looked out the window.
With bare feet stepping on the icy windowsill, Jieluo, dressed in a plain white kimono, strolled out into the howling snowstorm. She lightly leaped onto the icy surface, where the light was so clear that she could see herself, and looked at Yukihime opposite her, smiling faintly, "You actually dodged it. You've got some skills."
What was that just now?
Knife?
As Yukihime lowered her eyes and pondered rapidly, she looked at Yukiro, who seemed to have no intention of attacking, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
Danger!Danger!Danger!
This distance! Extremely dangerous!
"Just a little trick to guard against Hozuki's sneak attacks," Yukihime said. "I didn't expect it to work on you too..."
Suddenly, Yukihime's expression changed drastically. She sank into the ice beneath her feet with a whoosh. The next second, she reappeared on an ice wall far from Jieluo, her face filled with apprehension as she looked at him coldly. "Despicable! Do you enjoy ambushing your opponents while they're talking?!"
"We're all ninjas, and you're talking to me about being despicable?" Jieluo chuckled. "Do you think this is a duel between nobles?"
Jieluo turned her head and looked around. At this moment, the entire hall was frozen, covered with a thick layer of ice. As Xueji spoke, countless figures of Xueji appeared within the ice, making it impossible to distinguish which one was the real body.
It's really not Gengetsu's fault that he fought her so humiliatingly.
Adding to the difficulty is the fact that the most powerful Steam Explosion is suppressed by Ice Release and cannot be detonated. Furthermore, this technique, which allows the user to conceal their presence, makes it difficult to find the user's true form and strike effectively.
"Don't waste your time!" Xue Ji sneered, "You will never find me! You'll be lost beneath these layers of icy illusions! Become part of my ice sculpture collection!"
Ice Release: The temperature in the Ice Crystal Demon Palace continues to drop dramatically, seemingly freezing everything, enough to turn human blood into ice shards. If this continues...
Victory will...
In the arena, Jie Luo raised his hand and waved it, unleashing invisible swords that slashed out suddenly.
Within the ice, Yukihime suddenly opened her eyes wide and hurriedly twisted to dodge. The ice was cleaved open with a single blow, and amidst the deafening explosion, Yukihime had no time to catch her breath. Her heart suddenly stopped beating, because Yukihime's next attack followed closely behind, as if it had already locked onto her figure moving within the ice.
"Phantoms don't have hearts, only humans do..." Jieluo smiled faintly.
Heart? Heartbeat?
Faced with the relentless, death-like attacks, Yukihime frantically fled and moved through the ice.
In the main hall, under Jieluo's continuous and violent slashes, ice shattered one after another.
"Little mouse, you run pretty fast..."
whispering sound!
Yukihime gritted her teeth!
He was immediately overwhelmed and forced into a disadvantageous position. Where did this monster come from?!
