Chapter 304 The Nine Nether Evil Tiger
"Master Shiratori, we have sought your assistance merely to set up a barrier," Kuro said with a polite bow. "As long as we can trap this Chinaman within the ship, we can handle the rest."
With that, the two upper ninjas bowed ninety degrees once more.
"Please!"
"Hmph, since you've provided me with these beautiful women, I'll reluctantly lend a hand." The old man began to grope the young woman beside him, all the while maintaining a serious expression. "I shall begin."
"Arigato!" The two ninjas bowed in unison, expressing their gratitude.
"Chinaman!" The old man's hands were quite busy—one ventured under the skirt of the girl to his right, while the other slipped into the blouse of the girl to his left. Addressing Qin Chao, he said, "As a mere Chinese martial artist, you should consider it an honor that I, Shiratori Kamiku, have personally taken action against you."
He took a white banner from one of the beauties behind him and began to wave it in the air. As he did so, he chanted unfamiliar Japanese syllables that Qin Chao could not understand.
The air began to tremble slightly, and soon, a translucent membrane appeared at the edge of the ship.
"This is my Shiratori Kamiku's barrier!" the old man said with a smug grin. "With this barrier in place, no matter how powerful the demon, it cannot escape. You, a mere martial artist, stand no chance of fleeing. If you surrender and hand over your cultivation techniques, I might consider sparing your life."
"Sorry, not interested," Qin Chao replied coldly, eyeing the newly-formed barrier.
"You stubborn fool!" Shiratori's eyes filled with anger, and he increased the pressure of his groping, causing the women beside him to cry out in pain.
"Yamete, yamete!"
Qin Chao was tempted to give the old man a taste of his own medicine.
"Kill him, and I shall extract the cultivation methods from his soul," Shiratori commanded with a wave of his hand.
"Hai!" Shiratori Kamiku was a famous Onmyoji, and his status in the island nation was extremely exalted. Even the two upper ninjas, Kuro and Kiryu, had to show him respect.
They had sought Shiratori Kamiku's help in case it became necessary to use a soul-searching Jutsu on Qin Chao's corpse. However, they never anticipated that Qin Chao would prove so difficult to deal with. Despite the intricate preparations in the dining room, including poison, sound absorption arrays, and mental blockades, Qin Chao remained vigorous and managed to eliminate all the lower-ranking ninjas, even escaping from the room.
Thus, they had requested Shiratori Kamiku's assistance in setting up this barrier to trap Qin Chao and prevent him from escaping.
"You have no chance," Kuro said coldly with a smile, drawing the long sword from his waist before vanishing into thin air.
"Hehehe…" Kiryu, the plump ninja, also began to laugh. Holding a large shrimp in his left hand, he placed his right hand over his mouth, shouting at Qin Chao, "Fire Ninjutsu - Universe Wind Fire Wheel!"
Each elite ninja had once been a practitioner of the Five Elements Jutsu as a mid-level ninja. Kiryu used to be a fire ninja. As his power grew, so did his weight.
A ball of golden-red flame was spat out from Kiryu's greasy mouth, spanning an impressive half-meter in radius. With a fiery tail, the flame ball hurtled toward Qin Chao.
It was a rather unique kind of flame, but Qin Chao had no interest in absorbing it. The flame was of such low quality that even if it were consumed by the Nine Nether Yin Fire, it would not augment its power in the slightest.
Qin Chao felt that using the Nine Nether Devil Palm and Vajra Palm on these Japanese ninjas would be an insult to the spells.
"Evil King Sword!" He simply drew the Evil King Sword and held it in his hand, saying, "Evil King Sword, I apologize for asking you to slay a few beasts today."
The sword quivered slightly, as if resonating with his words.
With a swift stroke, Qin Chao cleaved the approaching fireball in half, scattering it in midair.
"Damn it!" The two elite ninjas heard Qin Chao's words loud and clear. Infuriated, Kiryu chewed on his shrimp. Meanwhile, another white figure suddenly appeared behind Qin Chao, slashing the long sword at his neck.
The strike was incredibly swift, nearly reaching the speed of sound. However, it was still too slow for Qin Chao.
With the Nine Nether Hellhound's possession, Qin Chao's senses of smell and hearing were incredibly sharp. He had known of Kuro's approach from the very beginning.
"Die!" Qin Chao spun around, his sword flashing black light, cleaving Kuro's body in two.
But to his surprise, two wooden stakes fell to the ground instead.
"Substitution Jutsu," Qin Chao blinked, recalling such a move.
"Damn it!" A gust of wind blew overhead as Kuro reappeared, thrusting his sword downward. Qin Chao dodged, leaving Kuro to pierce the deck. Simultaneously, he swung the Evil King Sword again, aiming to cut the elite ninja at the waist.
However, this time he felt no sensation of striking a solid object. The ninja before him gradually became ethereal, and multiple Kuros emerged from the phantom.
Shadow Clone Jutsu – he had seen this move used by Chiyo before.
"Water Ninjutsu - Shadow Clone!" Kuro laughed heartily, and all the clones joined in. It was as if each one was the real body, their laughter causing Qin Chao a headache.
Qin Chao knew in his heart that these were nothing more than projections created by Kuro using the water vapor in the air.
"It's useless," Qin Chao said coldly, gripping the Evil King Sword. "I know which one is you."
"Trying to scare me?" Over a dozen Kuros spoke in unison. "My Shadow Clones are flawless! Prepare to be torn apart!"
With that, more than ten upper ninjas leaped toward Qin Chao.
"Sword like a long rainbow, swift as a meteor, the Rainbow Sword!" Unfazed, Qin Chao unleashed the first move of the Unyielding Army Sword Technique.
The Evil King Sword cast a black radiance, piercing directly through one of the ninjas.
"Bang!" The bodies of the other ninjas burst into mist, dissipating into the air.
Kuro fell from the sky, clutching his abdomen, staring at Qin Chao in shock and horror.
"Why... why did you find me?"
"Idiot." Qin Chao summoned the Evil King Sword back, floating beside him. "How long has it been since you washed your feet? Your other clones didn't have that stench."
"Damn it!" Both terrified and enraged, Kuro roared, "Chinese man, you've angered me! Come forth, White Tiger!"
The upper ninja's ultimate skill: the Demon Ninja Body!
"You're dead!" Kuro screamed hysterically, "This move will shock the heavens and make ghosts weep! I wouldn't have used it if it didn't shorten my lifespan. But you've enraged me, and I'll kill you with one move! Your flesh and blood will feed my White Tiger!"
As he shouted, a massive, gold-eyed White Tiger emerged from his body, roaring ferociously.
Seeing the White Tiger, Qin Chao couldn't help but feel excited.
"Great! I've been waiting for you to release this White Tiger!"
The treasured sword in Qin Chao's hand sensed its master's excitement and emitted a resonant dragon's hum.
"White Tiger, tear him apart!" Kuro commanded the White Tiger spirit, which lunged to bite Qin Chao.
"Bring it on!" In order to capture the White Tiger spirit, Qin Chao no longer held back. He let the Evil King Sword float beside him while his left palm turned as white as jade.
"Roar!" The White Tiger suddenly transformed into a swift shadow, and Qin Chao instinctively dodged to the left.
"Boom!" The deck exploded, shattering into pieces from the impact.
The White Tiger spirit was incredibly fast. And from the thin layer of frost forming on the shattered deck, it seemed the White Tiger was a water-attribute creature.
With both speed and attribute, Qin Chao grew even more excited.
"Are you scared now? Trembling?" Kuro, bloodied, continued to shout, "Let my White Tiger tear you apart!"
With that, the White Tiger transformed into a swift shadow once again, speeding toward Qin Chao like lightning.
"Nine Nether Devil Palm!" With three bundles of Nine Nether Hell Yin Fire condensed in his palm, Qin Chao fiercely struck out with this move.
Aiming for a one-hit kill, he showed no mercy, unleashing the full force of his power.
"Bang!" His palm, as white as jade, collided with the White Tiger. The tremendous impact caused the entire ship to sway.
The White Tiger let out a pained scream, its body impaled into the deck. Its spirit form passed through the hull and plunged into the sea with a loud splash.
The ship began taking on water, slowly sinking.
"You fools! Quickly have the people below deck fix the ship!" Shiratori couldn't bear to see the beautiful women drown and shouted urgently.
"Hai!" Kiryu immediately relayed the order, and several ninjas vanished from the deck.
"White Tiger!" Kuro was unconcerned about the sinking ship; he only felt an intense pain in his chest.
The White Tiger and his soul were connected as one. If the White Tiger was injured, he was injured as well.
Now, with the White Tiger lost in the depths of the sea, its fate unknown, Qin Chao did not stop. He flung the Evil King Sword toward the opening.
"Rainbow Sword, go!"
The Evil King Sword transformed into a streak of black light, parting the seawater, and in the blink of an eye, caught up with the sinking White Tiger.
"Boom!" Bubbles surged in the sea as the Evil King Sword pinned the White Tiger spirit to the ocean floor.
The white tiger struggled for a moment, and beneath its body, a sinister array started to emerge.
"Powerful beings that reside in the Nine Nether Hell, heed my call!" Qin Chao began chanting the incantation for the Nine Nether Summoning Technique, "Nine Nether Evil Tiger, appear!"
"Roar!" An astonishing roar resounded from the depths of the ocean.
The White Tiger spirit instantly disintegrated, while the array engraved by the Evil King Sword shone brightly.
Kuro on the ship suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing lifelessly in the pool of blood.
With the White Tiger spirit slain, even if Kuro still had a breath left, he likely wouldn't live much longer.
"Roar!" The ocean seemed to tremble, as the third-layer creature from the Nine Nether Hell finally awakened with a vengeance. Ecstatic, Qin Chao dispelled the summoning technique and allowed the Nine Nether Evil Tiger to disperse.
To deal with these Japanese, there was no need to use the third layer of the Nine Nether Summoning Technique!
The Nine Nether Hellhound would suffice!
