Chapter 289 The Tengu's Plan
By utilizing their unique earth-based martial arts, they were able to strengthen their bodies to the point where they became impervious to blades and spears, a true mark of a qualified earth-element ninja. A single earth-element ninja could withstand the attack of ten ninjas wielding their swords without receiving a single scratch!
But now, this earth-element ninja had been sent flying out of the ground by a single kick from Qin Chao. His body was covered in wounds as if he had been hacked at by a thousand swords and knives.
What kind of power did Qin Chao possess? Was it even possible for a cultivator to possess such terrifying power?
"Swoosh!" As Qin Chao kicked the earth ninja into the air, a wood ninja suddenly appeared from a tree, throwing a handful of leaves at him.
Hmph, what kind of ninja was this? He only had a basic understanding of the five elemental escape techniques!
Qin Chao sneered, turned around, and suddenly emitted a golden light from his palm, sweeping it toward the leaves.
"Crack, crack, crack!" All of the leaves were swept away by Qin Chao's golden palm, landing heavily on the wood ninja's body.
Soon, the wood ninja's body was covered in leaves, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Qin Chao and then himself. Finally, with a thud, he fell to the ground.
"This is the invincible ninja you spoke of?" After finishing off the ninja, Qin Chao gave a nonchalant glance toward Yamamoto Nanajuhachi.
Yamamoto Nanajuhachi felt as though he was being stalked by a wolf, a chill running down his spine.
Two ninjas, and they were both defeated without even exchanging a blow? Was this the power of a cultivator? It was even comparable to that of a high-level ninja, too powerful!
Yamamoto Nanajuhachi suddenly became frantic, he wanted to attain this power!
"Chinaman! Hand over your cultivation technique! I can spare your life!" Yamamoto Nanajuhachi shouted, his eyes flickering with the desire for bloodshed and madness.
Qin Chao couldn't help but laugh, "Have you lost your mind? You want me to give you my cultivation technique?"
As Qin Chao spoke, he took two steps forward. "After I send you to hell, you can go and ask the King of Hell for me," he said. He reached out his hand and was about to use his mind to strangle the man named Yamamoto to death.
But at that moment, Yamamoto suddenly drew the katana from his waist and held it up in front of him with both hands. His whole demeanor changed in an instant. A fierce killing intent lingered around him, and Qin Chao couldn't lock onto him with his mind.
"You stupid Chinese, do you think you can defeat me?" Yamamoto laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth. "I am the heir of Japan's greatest true martial arts, the Suishin swordsmanship! If you don't hand over the technique, I'll use your head to sacrifice my sword!"
"Little friend, don't play with real swords and knives. You might hurt yourself," Qin Chao teased the Japanese man.
True martial arts. Qin Chao had heard of this name before. It seemed that this school had some influence in Japan. Even the head of the China branch of the Black Dragon Society was one of their heirs. But in Qin Chao's eyes, this so-called true martial arts was just like a fart.
"Yakka!" Yamamoto heard Qin Chao's taunt and became furious. He stepped forward with small, rapid steps, and suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chao. At the same time, his sword slashed toward Qin Chao's body. The sword was exceptionally fast, and the blade was exceptionally sharp, as if it could cut through the wind.
But Qin Chao simply extended two fingers and gently pinched the blade, holding it between his fingertips.
"What?" Yamamoto was stunned. He felt as if the sword had been stuck in stone, and he couldn't pull it out or cut through it.
"That's all? And you dare to call it swordsmanship?" Qin Chao flicked his finger, hitting the blade.
"Buzz!" The sword groaned continuously, and Yamamoto felt a great force strike him. He staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
"How is this possible?" Yamamoto's swordsmanship was always unstoppable. He had killed the previous head of the China branch by relying on this swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship had always been unbeatable, but today it failed him. He couldn't even overcome his opponent's two fingers! If this were to be spread, Yamamoto Nanajuhachi would not be able to live and might as well prepare for his funeral.
"Kill!" he yelled in anger, his eyes turning red. He held his knife aloft as the murderous aura around him intensified.
"God Slayer One Sword Cut!" he shouted in Japanese as he leaped forward, brandishing his katana with an unstoppable force and slashing toward Qin Chao.
He had performed this technique countless times and had split his enemies in half each time. It was a ruthless and terrifying swordsmanship, and to him, using it against a Chinese person was an insult to the art.
But now, the only way to ease his anger was to kill this Chinese man.
He expected to cleave Qin Chao in two with his blade, but instead, the Chinese man countered with his Golden Palm, which emitted a faint golden light. With a loud crack, the blade snapped in half, and Yamamoto Nanajuhachi was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, landing hard on the frozen ground.
"It's impossible!" Yamamoto spat blood as he struggled to his feet and leaned against a tree. He stared at Qin Chao in disbelief. "How could you possess such incredible strength? You're not a Chinaman!"
"I was never a Chinaman to begin with," Qin Chao's voice was icy cold. "I am a Chinese!"
He didn't want to dirty his hands with Yamamoto's filthy blood, but he knew that his anger wouldn't subside unless he killed him. Slowly, he walked towards Yamamoto Nanajuhachi.
"Zangyun!" Just as Qin Chao was about to strike him down, Yamamoto suddenly shouted.
At that moment, a chill enveloped Qin Chao's body, and he instinctively activated his magic eye, scanning the area. He saw the soul of a white tiger charging toward him. Its fangs were unusually long, and its body was enormous, like a rare spiritual beast. Unfortunately, it was dead now, and all that remained was its soul.
Qin Chao couldn't understand how its soul had been tempered to the point where it could be materialized, and it attacked with a bite towards him. Both beauties were watching him, so Qin Chao didn't want to use too powerful a technique. Instead, he employed his unremarkable diamond palm. To the naked eye, no one could see the golden light emanating from his palm.
Qin Chao's palm met the white tiger spirit in mid-air, and he felt a great force hit his hand. He took a step backward, while the white tiger's spirit was directly dispersed. However, in that instant of dispersion, Qin Chao knew that he had been tricked.
Sure enough, when he turned his head, Yamamoto Nanajuhachi that had just been crouching on a tree had vanished without a trace.
"Hmph, you got away fast," Qin Chao sneered, put away his technique, and walked toward the Mazda 6.
There were ninja corpses all over the ground, but Qin Chao paid no attention to them. Because the Black Dragon Society would come later to clean up the battlefield. He only wanted to get the two girls back to safety.
But the two girls in the car were dumbfounded.
"Qin Chao...who exactly are you?" When Qin Chao opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, Li Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Me? I'm your little assistant, Manager Li!" Qin Chao turned around and smiled at his beautiful female boss.
"Don't look at me like I'm a monster. I've studied some Chinese martial arts. Fighting these islanders is just easy and enjoyable."
"Chinese martial arts?" Long Beier's eyes lit up as she listened from the side. "Can you teach me?"
"What's a little girl like you learning martial arts for?" Qin Chao rolled his eyes at Long Beier. "You're always talking about fighting and killing, but you don't have any feminine qualities."
"Mind your own business!" Long Beier bit her silver teeth, as if she were about to bite off pieces of Qin Chao's flesh. "You bastard, you're so stingy!"
Long Beier thought to herself, you even promised to treat me to a meal, but you haven't fulfilled it until now! Bastard!
"I'm sorry, only men are allowed to inherit!" Qin Chao had long forgotten about the matter of paying for the meal. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to Li Xue, saying, "Ms. Li, leave the Japanese people to me next time. I am your assistant, and your affairs are my affairs. With me here, they cannot harm you."
As Qin Chao spoke, he thought coldly to himself.
Yamamoto Nanajuhachi, the Black Dragon Society... Hmph, one day I, Qin Chao, will uproot the Black Dragon Society!
"Be careful," Longbeier had been in the business for so long, and she could see Qin Chao's thoughts. "The Black Dragon Society is very powerful, you need to be extra careful."
"Don't worry," Qin Chao smiled faintly. "This is China, even if they are brave, they cannot openly attack us. And with this lesson, they will definitely change their assassination methods."
"Will, will they come back?" Li Xue became nervous again when she heard this. Despite her usual appearance as a strong woman, Qin Chao knew that this beauty had a small heart.
"Ha, don't worry, Ms. Li." Qin Chao gave Li Xue a smile. "With me here, nothing will happen."
"Then, then I'll leave it to you..."
As Qin Chao comforted Li Xue, a man in a white ninja suit lifted Yamamoto on his shoulder and disappeared mysteriously.
"The original plan has failed," the ninja said into a headset. "Implement plan B and send out the tengu."
"Yes!" came the reply from the headset.
The white figure continued to run, emitting bursts of cold laughter.
"Qin Chao, Chinaman... you have ruined our plan for the Great Nippon, and I will make you pay. Tengu, it's up to you this time. You are the youngest master in our family, if you fail, the whole plan will truly be declared a failure... but you won't, you definitely won't fail."
Thinking this, the white ninja stopped and threw Yamamoto to the ground.
"Ah!" Yamamoto’s butt hurt from the fall. He was angry, but he didn't dare to provoke the man in front of him.
This was a high-level ninja! In the Black Dragon Society, each of them held a very esteemed position!
"Cooperate with Tengu's plan, this is your only value in staying alive." The white ninja finished speaking and disappeared into thin air.
