150: Chapter 150 Forbidden Technique? Lin Yuan beat him into confessing.

Inside the altar room, candlelight flickered.

The short, thin elder sat in the center of the bones, a withered hand extending from beneath his black robe.

"Youngster from the Dragon Kingdom."

His voice was dry and raspy.

"Do you know who you are facing?"

Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the altar.

Water spread out from beneath his feet, flowing silently along the blood grooves.

"Why did you come to Jiang City?"

Lin Yuan looked at him.

"Tell me, and I will let you die a little easier."

The elder paused, then laughed out loud.

"I am the seventh seat under Goddess Amaterasu."

"It has been over two hundred years; I have forgotten how long it has been since anyone dared to speak to me like this."

"You are just a local warlord who seized power by luck. It is your honor to be killed by me."

He raised a finger.

The air emitted a short, sharp sonic boom.

A black finger-strike shot straight toward the center of Lin Yuan's forehead.

Lin Yuan did not dodge.

A water membrane sprang up before him.

The finger-strike hit the water membrane, was forcibly deflected, and punched through a steel plate nearby.

The elder's laughter ceased.

The next second.

Lin Yuan was already in front of him.

Bang!

A punch slammed down.

The black armor on the elder's chest cracked on the spot, and he was sent crashing into the pile of bones.

He just wanted to form a hand seal.

Lin Yuan raised his right hand.

A water thread sprang up from the ground, grazing past his ear.

A withered ear fell into a blood bowl.

The elder clutched the side of his face, looking up to see Lin Yuan clearly for the first time.

"Who are you!"

"This is no ordinary Superpower!"

Lin Yuan looked at him.

"And you aren't as strong as the rumors suggest."

The rumors about the Ninja Guild elders in his past life were greatly exaggerated.

Devouring cities. Wiping out camps. Slaughtering three thousand Awakened Ones in a single night.

Now it seems the rumors were inflated.

And inflated quite a bit.

On the deck.

Qin Yumo and the second remaining Jonin fought their way to the railing.

That Jonin was covered in black mist, his right hand gripping a captured female survivor, his blade pressed against her throat.

"Retreat!"

He roared in broken Dragon Kingdom language.

Qin Yumo did not stop her advance.

A red light flashed.

The blade arrived first.

The Jonin's arm was severed, and the female survivor fell onto the deck, swept away by Wang Ya's water stream.

Qin Yumo slammed into him at close range.

She did not engage in a brute-force struggle.

Lowering her shoulder to dodge the blade, she twisted her wrist, and her short blade sliced into his ribs.

The Jonin retreated, wanting to jump into the sea to escape.

The Zombie Horde by the sea had already climbed onto the ship's railing.

A few zombies grabbed his legs, dragging him down.

Qin Yumo slashed from his shoulder to his abdomen.

"You aren't even qualified to be a sparring partner."

The Jonin fell into the Zombie Horde.

The deck defense line collapsed.

In the ship's bottom altar room.

The elder, having had two ribs broken by Lin Yuan, finally stopped pretending.

He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a string of Japanese incantations.

The blood-colored ninja marks on the ground lit up.

Screams rang out throughout the entire cruise ship simultaneously.

Outside the ship, blood lines appeared on the bodies of the Chunin and Genin.

Their flesh rapidly withered, their blood and energy drained away as if by a pump, flowing along the ship's hull toward the bottom level.

Countless cries of "Yamete" rang out.

Qin Yumo frowned.

Wang Ya protected Lin Motong, her water shield blocking the incoming blood mist.

The protective suits of the Zombie Assault Team, designed by Tang Qiqi, hissed as the blood patterns swept over them.

Lin Motong hugged the violent bear and looked toward the bottom of the ship.

"It is eating its own people."

Inside the altar room.

The elder's body began to swell.

His withered skin cracked, revealing corpse-gray muscles.

His nails grew into black blades.

The wound where his ear had been severed closed rapidly.

He stood up slowly, his height increasing by a head.

"Very good."

The elder grinned.

"You actually forced me to use a forbidden technique of Goddess Amaterasu."

"You have successfully ignited my fury, young man."

Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding blood light.

His Mental Energy could clearly feel this energy surging into the elder's body.

The elder exploded into action.

His speed was three times faster than before.

The black blade grazed Lin Yuan's arm.

Beads of blood flew out.

Lin Yuan countered with a water thread slicing toward his neck.

The elder did not dodge, taking the hit head-on, and the wound closed quickly.

Bang!

The elder kneed Lin Yuan in the side of the abdomen.

Lin Yuan stepped back half a step.

He looked down at the wound.

Then he smiled.

"You can break my defense now, huh."

"You've improved."

The elder did not understand this sentence.

A normal person would slow down when injured.

Would be afraid.

Would make mistakes.

But Lin Yuan's aura had become even steadier.

Lin Yuan no longer created distance.

He closed in.

The elder's black blade slashed Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Lin Yuan punched and shattered the elder's jaw.

The elder clawed open his back.

Lin Yuan used a water blade to slice off half of his palm.

Blood dripped onto the altar.

Pain burned within his body.

The S-rank [Wild Resonance] was awakened.

The elder finally realized something was wrong.

He attempted to use the blood dripping from Lin Yuan as a medium to activate the formation and use the Mental Energy he had accumulated for two hundred years to suppress this man.

But he discovered it was like an ant trying to shake a great mountain.

"You! What kind of monster are you?!"

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He raised his foot.

Bang!

The elder's knee was crushed.

He screamed and fell to his knees.

His other arm had just been raised when it was snapped by Lin Yuan's counter-move.

He tried to slip into the shadows.

Water threads shot in from all directions, pinning him to the altar pillar.

Black blood flowed down the pillar.

Lin Yuan walked up to him.

"Why did you come to Jiang City?"

"My patience is limited."

The elder gasped for air, the false-god demeanor on his face gone.

"I'll talk!"

"Don't kill me!"

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

The water thread stopped before his forehead.

The elder spoke immediately.

"Japan is finished."

"The Zombie Horde spread from Kanto."

"The Ninja Guild fled across the sea with its core members."

"Originally, we planned to land in Hu City."

"But the oracle said that there is a fortress in Jiang City that shouldn't exist."

"Hidden inside is a sacrifice that can allow the god to awaken early."

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.

A sacrifice?

Was it talking about him?

"Then what do you need so many women for?"

The elder continued, "We didn't capture women for labor."

"Goddess Amaterasu's awakening requires Yin energy."

"And a ninja-slave breeding program."

Lin Yuan looked at him.

"Who gave you the sea route?"

"After the apocalypse, all navigation facilities were paralyzed. You couldn't possibly have the ability to cross the sea to reach Jiang City."

The elder hesitated.

The water thread moved forward half an inch.

He shouted immediately, "I don't know the name!"

"I only know he is from the capital's National Emergency Response Team."

The National Emergency Response Team again, that organization of Grandmaster Ling Suzhen?

Last time it was that hacker with the handshake logo.

Now it's these Japs again.

What exactly does this National Emergency Response Team want?

Lin Yuan remembered that in his past life, these Japs weren't just these few people.

"What about the rest of the people?"

The elder said again, "Three days later, another ship will arrive."

"On board is the Sea Ghost Unit."

"They are not ordinary ninjas."

"They are all ninjas who have awakened Superpowers."

"It is led by the third elder under Goddess Amaterasu."

"If you let me go now, I can put in a good word for you in front of the third elder. We can be allies and share the world."

The altar room fell silent.

Lin Yuan looked down at him.

"Are you done?"

The elder nodded hastily.

"You promised that if I told you, you would spare my life."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"I won't kill you."

The elder breathed a sigh of relief.

Footsteps came from the doorway.

Qin Yumo dragged her blood-stained twin blades into the altar room.

Her red hair clung to her shoulders, and the tips of her blades were still dripping blood.

Lin Yuan stepped aside to make way.

"Yumo."

"Chop him."

The elder's expression changed.

"No! You promised—"

The blade light fell.

The head rolled next to the blood bowl.

Qin Yumo sheathed her blades, not even looking at the corpse.

Lin Yuan said indifferently, "I'm the type of person who likes to go back on my word."

The blood patterns on the altar began to fade.

The Zombie Horde outside devoured the remaining ninjas.

On the cruise ship, there were sounds of metal clashing and zombies biting everywhere.

Lin Motong stood at the cabin door, hugging the violent bear.

Seven members of the Zombie Assault Team crouched behind her.

The crooked lightning logo was particularly conspicuous in the bloodstains.

Liu Qing's voice came through the earpiece.

"Master, the battle in the direction of Jiang University has ended."

"Lu Yan has completed the encirclement."

"Chiba Sakura has been captured alive."

"The remaining ninjas have basically been cleared."

Lin Yuan was just about to speak.

The communicator suddenly vibrated.

It was a military encrypted line.

On the other end, there was low, labored breathing.

"You bastard..."

Jiang Xiaowan's voice trembled.

"I'm pregnant."
