128: You and your knife are equally ridiculous.

Deep within the dense forest on the mountainside of Changbai Mountain.

Deng Youfu's face was covered in green scales, his pupils were vertical like a snake's, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“Damn it! These Ninjas are all so bizarrely strong!”

At this moment, a very broken Chinese voice drifted from not far away.

“Hehehe! Chinaman! I know you’re hiding nearby, but how long can you stop us?”

Deng Youfu knew he had been targeted.

“Jap! Geneva! You’ve killed so many of us! If you want to go up the mountain, you’ll have to step over my body first!”

Outside the forest, blood had already thoroughly stained the ground, and corpses of company members and soldiers lay everywhere.

The leading Eastern Sea Ninja wore a black kimono and carried a black katana on his shoulder.

This person was Yamamoto Ryuichi, the captain of this Ninja squad.

“Captain Yamamoto, these Huaxia people really have low combat power; there are hardly any who can fight.”

Yamamoto Ryuichi shook his head with a solemn expression.

“Inoue-kun, don’t underestimate these people. We only gained the upper hand because of the surprise attack.”

“The person in the forest is a master, and according to the information, he should be from the Chuma Immortal lineage.”

“Alright, find some people to deal with him.”

Saying this, Yamamoto Ryuichi directed his men to deal with Deng Youfu, who was hiding in the forest.

As he spoke, several Ninjas drew their weapons and approached Deng Youfu’s location.

As Deng Youfu saw them approaching, a white-haired hedgehog phantom appeared around him.

“Thousand Needle Rain!!”

The next moment, a large amount of needle rain appeared around Deng Youfu.

“Fire Release!! Great Fireball Technique!”

The surrounding Ninjas, seeing the needle rain approaching, quickly formed hand signs to activate their defense.

Unexpectedly, the needle rain, upon encountering the high temperature of the fireballs, spontaneously combusted.

“This is bad! The opponent counters my ability!”

He watched as the opponents were about to rush in front of him, yet he was helpless.

“Could it be! Am I going to die today at the hands of a group of Eastern Sea Ninjas?”

Just as Deng Youfu was at his last breath, a crystal-clear long sword was inserted in front of him.

Then, a dazzling white light emanated around him, directly blocking the fireballs surrounding him.

Deng Youfu looked around with a shocked expression.

“This… this is…”

The next second, above the sky, a young man in a trench coat stood in mid-air, looking down.

“On our Huaxia land, are we going to let a bunch of petty thieves bully you all?”

As soon as his voice fell, thousands of long swords rained down from the sky, so fast that people had no time to react.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

A series of muffled thuds sounded, and the few Ninjas who were attacking Deng Youfu were directly riddled with holes.

Lin Yuan descended and came to Deng Youfu’s side.

“Deng Youfu, how are you? Where are the others?”

Deng Youfu shook his head, clutching his constantly bleeding left arm.

“I’m fine, but the squad that came with me has all been killed by these Eastern Sea Ninjas!”

Lin Yuan immediately activated Seizing Heaven's Creation to heal Deng Youfu’s body.

As the black and white Qi slowly dissipated, Deng Youfu’s complexion also became much rosier.

Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings and asked:

“Why are you the only one here? Where is Guan Shihua?”

Deng Youfu looked towards the Heavenly Lake at the top of the mountain and said with a tense expression:

“Originally, according to the plan, Senior Guan Shihua went alone to the Heavenly Lake to suppress the Dragon, while our squad was responsible for holding off this Eastern Sea Ninja force.”

“But we underestimated this Eastern Sea Ninja force!”

“The leading squad captain, Yamamoto Ryuichi, is a member of the Seven Men of the Demonic Sword, and his long saber is a Demonic Sword.”

“As long as his saber is stained with someone else’s blood, it can heal his injuries!”

Lin Yuan frowned.

“Is this person that sinister?”

“Alright, Deng Youfu, don’t worry about it. Go rest on the side. These people are my responsibility.”

Saying this, Lin Yuan turned and walked out of the forest.

As soon as he stepped out of the forest, he saw Yamamoto Ryuichi, dressed in a black kimono.

Yamamoto Ryuichi looked at the qianming sword in Lin Yuan’s hand and then at the long swords constantly dripping blood and circling around him, revealing a sinister and charming smile.

“Hahahahaha!! I didn’t expect to meet a powerhouse like you on Changbai Mountain!”

“My saber can’t wait to taste your fresh blood!!”

Yamamoto Ryuichi slowly drew his katana. The blade of the katana was inlaid with black scales, looking extremely evil and cold.

“None of you go up! This person is my prey!”

Lin Yuan revealed a cruel smile.

“No… you’re wrong! All of you are my prey!!”

As he spoke, the qianming sword in Lin Yuan’s hand thundered, constantly spewing crimson-gold lightning.

Yamamoto Ryuichi, holding the Demonic Sword, rushed towards Lin Yuan like a ghost.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes at this moment, relying only on hearing to pinpoint locations.

“Arrogant brat! Today I must make you pay the price!”

Yamamoto Ryuichi raised his katana high and swung it down towards Lin Yuan’s head.

Lin Yuan raised the qianming sword to parry the katana, then he bumped it with his arm, making the katana deviate and strike empty air.

He raised the qianming sword with both hands, channeling all the Qi in his body to envelop the qianming sword, and forcefully struck the blade of the Demonic Sword.

Clang!!

A crisp sound rang out, and the katana in Yamamoto Ryuichi’s hand was directly shattered by the qianming sword.

“No!!! Ah!! Ah!!”

Yamamoto Ryuichi kept letting out mournful screams.

Lin Yuan mocked him with a cold smile:

“You and your saber are equally ridiculous!”

As soon as his voice fell, Yamamoto Ryuichi was cut in half by the Sword Qi of the qianming sword… On the other side, by the Heavenly Lake, Guan Shihua stood by the water, checking the situation of the Heavenly Lake.

In the center of the Heavenly Lake, dense bubbles continuously surged, and the water surface constantly emitted a crimson glow.

Guan Shihua stood on the shore and found that all the previously erected suppression stone carvings had been destroyed, and a large number of carved runes on the shore had been deliberately damaged.

“Your Excellency! There’s no need to hide, is there? To have destroyed the Seal of the Heavenly Lake to such an extent, isn’t it just to wait for the Dragon to escape?”

After a long while, a pair of oily green eyes suddenly appeared on the water surface not far away, and then a huge purple snake head emerged from the water of the Heavenly Lake.

Standing above the giant snake was a one-eyed old man with graying hair and a tall, sturdy build.

Guan Shihua looked at the old man not far away with a shocked expression.

“Miyamoto Jyamaru! It’s actually you!?”

“Hahahaha! Guan Shihua, we meet again! After so many years, your body is still so robust.”

Guan Shihua looked at Miyamoto Jyamaru with a grim expression.

“Hmph! You are known as the Eastern Sea Sword Saint, the Blade Master of the Seven Men of the Demonic Sword, yet I didn’t expect you to also interfere in this matter?”

Miyamoto Jyamaru scratched his head.

“I really didn’t want to interfere in this matter, but for the long-lasting national fortune and eternal martial prosperity of the Eastern Sea Empire, I must assist the Kikugumi sect.”

“It is your honor that your Huaxia can contribute to our Eastern Sea Empire!”
