Chapter 96 – Fire Shadow Ninja (2/2)

Being the strongest person out of them all, they were naturally the person that represented the group. The short Fire Shadow Ninja knew that Lei Yu didn’t understand the Kou language, so he changed to his less than fluent Tenglong language to converse with him. With difficulty: “You die here!”

Lei Yu frowned, they haven’t even fought yet and his opponent dared to blurt this out. “You guys believe you have that ability? What? You want to bully me with lots of people? It doesn’t matter; I know that’s the typical turtle move you Kou people are used to.”

The group of ninjas looked at each other. Even though they didn’t quite understand the expression of a turtle, they did understand him saying a lot of people against only him. The short guy looked at the other three and then said: “We Kou people are honorable and righteous, we will not bully you with lots of people, and we only need one of us to take your life.”

“F*ck you motherf*ckers, honorable and righteous? If there was even one good person that came out of the 18 generations of your ancestors, then that would be the greatest blessing for all of mankind! Stop with the bullshit, just all come at once. Whoever approaches me first will die first!” Once Lei Yu heard their words, he was about to explode. He couldn’t forget the humiliation his country suffered. Lei Yu remembered in history about the dirty bombs the Kou country had used in the past. Now the Yamaguchi-gumi wanted to use the bacterial agents to start something up again, Lei Yu’s blood could not help but begin to boil up in emotions to a higher level.

The short guy didn’t bother responding to Lei Yu. He looked at the ninja that was slightly taller than the rest and nodded his head; the latter took a step forward. Lei Yu knew what his opponent had been decided, his lips slightly curved into a smile. Dealing with a Shadow Ninja with only the strength of a Fourth Order Warrior, his chance of winning just increased greatly – one less opponent means one less threat. Lei Yu lightly twisted his head and the joints around his neck made “pak pak” sounds, his eyes filled with scorn.

Shadow Ninjas relied on their speed, using their extraordinary speed to confuse their opponents as the ace up their sleeves. But wanting to compete with Lei Yu on speed? It’s like someone wielding a Reclining Moon Blade in front of Guan Yu¹, they were asking for it!

“Perfect timing!”

His opponent’s body left an afterimage in its original spot. Although the afterimage was temporary, it did prove his opponent’s speed was quite fast. Lei Yu gave a shout² to greet the attack; after exchanging a few strikes and blocks, it was clearly seen that Lei Yu held the upper hand.

The constant flickering of figures and afterimage, then Lei Yu’s body suddenly stopping surprised the ninja. He understood that if he was moving about at high speeds and to suddenly stop was impossible for him to accomplish, this was also noticed by the other three ninjas. As for Otsuka, he had already fainted from his injuries. Although he did not get hit by Lei Yu’s previous air rippling energy attack, but the lingering kinetic energy from that attack wasn’t something a little Advanced Ninja like himself could handle.

Lei Yu’s arms spread apart, his elbows slightly bent making it look like he was about to pounce. He then slightly squatted, borrowing the force from the floor, he explosively took off. Both his hands were already covered in a faint purple lightning net that gave people the shivers; one could even hear “chi chi” noises from it. Not given his opponent a way out, it was very obvious that Lei Yu’s move was a finishing kill strike.

———————————

¹ – Guan Yu is the guy from history, Romance of the Three Kingdoms who was a general under Liu Bei. It is believed that he is the person that invented the Reclining Moon Blade attaching it to a pole as his weapon. So the statement is like, you’re trying to show off your basketball skills in front of LeBron James or Kevin Durant.

² – It’s a short yell or shout when performing an attack move, its purpose is to focus, get more oxygen, harmonizing energy etc.
