Chapter 552

Chapter 552 Ninja Forbidden Zone!

C-4 plastic explosive can be molded into any shape, and Su Rui had simply coated it over the knife handle.

From the very beginning until now, he had never been the type to rely purely on personal brute force to solve problems. His style was to fully combine cold weapons with modern firearms, maximizing their destructive potential.

“Eastern Jonin, welcome to China. I hope you enjoy a pleasant evening ahead.”

After saying that, Su Rui pressed the small remote control in his pocket.

Although the amount of explosive wasn’t particularly large, it was more than enough to blow Inamoto Junichi into nothing but dust.

What followed was that Inamoto Junichi only saw a flash of red light from the knife handle, and then his eyes were swallowed by a blinding, blazing red!

Even from that distance, Su Rui still felt the powerful shockwave and instinctively stepped back several paces!

A Jonin who had once dominated the world was reduced to nothing in an instant!

Two Jonin had now fallen here in succession!

“Come and go as you please? This place is a graveyard for your Eastern ninjas!” Su Rui said coldly.

As those words fell, the slaughter around him escalated completely!

Many ninjas had witnessed Inamoto Junichi turn to ash with their own eyes, and it shook them deeply.

Because in their hearts, Inamoto Junichi was nearly invincible! He had been renowned for years, a godlike figure!

Yet such a godlike figure had died right before their eyes, leaving not even a trace!

Many ninjas let out cries of grief and fury. Their resolve was firm and their minds clear — they knew the Chinese had laid an inescapable net here, and if this continued, death was certain. They had to break through!

And so, the scene Su Rui had least wanted to see unfolded. These ninjas and samurai, fighting desperately to survive, pushed even harder, and more than a dozen of them surged toward him all at once!

“Death wish!”

Su Rui let out a cold snort, his figure suddenly becoming a whirlwind. Combined with the top-tier lightness technique he had learned from Yamamoto Gokusen, he charged fearlessly into the crowd!

Every flash of blade light was followed by a scream!

Every scream was followed by a spray of blood!

…………

Tarzan was nearly going out of his mind with frustration. Su Rui hadn’t let him use the M134 Minigun to mow everyone down. Instead, he had somehow found two crates of grenades for him.

Su Rui’s orders for tonight were simple — take the high ground at the forest exit, and use his superhuman arm strength to throw every single grenade in both crates!

Only after every last grenade was gone could he use the Minigun!

After all, ammunition for the Minigun wasn’t easy to come by in China. It was a consumable, and far too few people used that kind of weapon. But grenades were a different story — Su Rui could easily get them from arms dealers through his own channels!

Since the Green Dragon Gang members hadn’t arrived yet and the Twelve Divine Guards were too few in number to seal off every direction, three samurai covered in blood appeared below Tarzan’s position!

Standing two meters tall, built like a moving iron tower, Tarzan — that massive brute of a man — stood atop the forest ridge, bit open the pin of a grenade with his teeth, and hurled it with all his might!

“Go to hell!”

The grenade sailed effortlessly over a hundred meters, landing with pinpoint accuracy right where the three ninjas were!

Tarzan’s aim was simply flawless. The grenade dropped from above and landed squarely on top of one ninja’s head!

With a dull thud, the ninja who had been rushing forward nearly blacked out on the spot, his vision going dark as he was about to collapse!

The two ninjas beside him moved to catch him, only to notice what looked like a spark flickering at the top of that “rock.” They immediately dove to the side!

But it was already too late. The grenade exploded, sending spinning shrapnel flying in all directions. Barely a single fragment was wasted — every piece buried itself into the bodies of the three ninjas. If not dead, then critically wounded!

Tarzan finally felt the rush he had been craving, and he began hurling grenades one after another, sending the ninjas trying to flee wailing and screaming!

And then Tarzan made a deeply annoying discovery — after throwing more than twenty grenades in a row, not a single person dared to attempt a breakout in his direction anymore!

“A bunch of gutless cowards!”

Tarzan grunted in dissatisfaction, grabbed both crates of grenades, and leaped straight down the hillside!

This guy was taking the fight directly to the battlefield!

Ninjas breaking out in the distance? No problem — throw grenades, blow them to pieces, leave them crying for their mothers with missing limbs!

Ninjas trying to ambush up close? No problem — shove a grenade into their mouth and blow their brains sky-high!

As the fighting went on, Tarzan stopped feeling frustrated, because he seemed to have discovered that he had fallen in love with another weapon besides the Minigun. Blowing things up felt absolutely incredible!

…………

Holman lay prone on a hillside, eyes fixed on the figures in his scope, pulling the trigger one shot after another.

Virtually every shot claimed the life of a ninja or samurai — not a single bullet wasted!

In truth, firing at night posed enormous risks for a sniper, because the muzzle flash could easily give away their position, leaving them vulnerable to a counterattack from an enemy sniper!

But Holman didn’t care about any of that, because he knew there was no way these Eastern ninjas had a sniper among them!

At most they had pistols or submachine guns!

The effective range of a submachine gun was around two hundred meters, and a pistol’s effective range was barely even a hundred meters. Of course, beyond those distances the bullets could still travel, but accuracy would drop dramatically!

Holman was positioned over five hundred meters away. He simply didn’t believe these Eastern fighters could hit him!

So from start to finish, he hadn’t changed his sniping position even once!

Many of the ninjas and samurai attempting to break out had spotted Holman and tried to take him down, but it was futile — every single one of them fell on the way charging toward him.

Jin Taizhu was dressed in all white, which made him stand out strikingly against the darkness of the night. He almost never wore such a white combat suit in his daily life, but today was different!

He harbored a bone-deep hatred for Eastern ninjas. His entire family and martial lineage had been destroyed by Eastern samurai, and if Su Rui hadn’t stepped in to save him back then, Jin Taizhu would have long since become a ghost in hell!

That white combat suit of his looked more like mourning clothes!

He cut down a samurai with one slash, his white suit instantly stained red with blood. Without a moment’s hesitation, he flicked his wrist and sent two five-bladed throwing stars flying, embedding them with perfect precision into the throats of two lower-ranked ninjas!

…………

In another corner of the battlefield, Rabbit Demon had been surrounded by more than a dozen ninjas. Her sleeve arrows were completely spent, and all she had left to rely on was the curved blade in her hand and the rabbit in her arms.

Yes, even a cornered rabbit will bite — and “Rabbit Demon” had made her name precisely because of this rabbit of hers!

One ninja lunged at her first. Rabbit Demon deflected the attack with her curved blade, and then a flash of white suddenly leaped out from her arms!

If you looked closely, that flash of white was actually a small, fluffy rabbit!

The ninja had been about to press his attack, but he never expected a little rabbit to suddenly spring from the woman’s chest. Moving with ghostlike speed, it clamped its teeth directly onto his throat!

With no time to defend, blood erupted in a sudden spray!

The ninja clutched his throat and collapsed. Rabbit Demon followed through, driving her curved blade into him for good measure!

That small rabbit, which looked completely harmless, bit through the ninja’s windpipe and immediately launched itself at another target!

Rabbit Demon followed right behind!

The true fighting power of Rabbit Demon lay in the seamless teamwork between woman and rabbit!

In terms of raw ability, Rabbit Demon could easily defeat a single lower-ranked ninja, but facing three or four — or even more — attacking simultaneously was a different matter entirely, and could even put her life at risk.

But with the little rabbit by her side, Rabbit Demon’s combat power jumped up a level! No one knew how this rabbit had been trained, but it was blindingly fast and bloodthirsty — a rare and extraordinary creature unlike any other!

However, at that very moment, a figure suddenly burst out of the darkness!

The figure moved fast and appeared without warning, giving Rabbit Demon no time to react. She took a heavy kick squarely in the back!

She was sent flying forward and spat out a mouthful of blood!

The little rabbit saw what happened and launched itself off her body, shooting toward the dark figure!

Whoosh!

A dazzling flash of blade light swept through the air, and the little rabbit found that it simply could not break through that ferocious storm of slashes!

Reluctantly, it turned and leaped away, and in the instant it twisted its body, it didn’t forget to glare at the figure with its red little eyes!

This person was Higashino Yasumoto — the leader of this group of lower-ranked ninjas!

He was also one of the higher-ranked Chunin among the several who had come to China on this mission. His true combat ability was no less than Murakami Kaiken’s, and he was very likely to advance to Jonin within the coming years!

If his status and strength weren’t exceptional, how could he possibly have the standing to lead such a large group of lower-ranked ninjas into battle on his own?

In truth, Higashino Yasumoto had been seething with frustration. He still didn’t know that Inamoto Junichi was already dead. He had originally thought he could seize this opportunity to distinguish himself, but instead two unexpected troublemakers had ambushed him and killed nearly twenty of his subordinates while he was off guard!

That kind of loss drove Higashino Yasumoto into a near-frenzied rage. In his fury, he threw aside Inamoto Junichi’s ambush orders entirely and mobilized everyone to begin a systematic sweep of the forest. That was also why he hadn’t gone to rendezvous with Inamoto Junichi in time!

Now, having finally cornered someone, his killing intent surged. He swung his long blade and charged straight at Rabbit Demon, who lay on the ground!

Rabbit Demon scrambled to her feet, raising her curved blade to meet him, blocking several strikes — only to realize she was no match for him and could do nothing but defend!

True to his standing as one of the top Chunin, after just a few exchanges, Higashino Yasumoto’s long blade had completely broken down Rabbit Demon’s defensive rhythm!

Bang!

Higashino Yasumoto kicked out, landing squarely on Rabbit Demon’s arm!

Her arm cracked with a sharp snap, and her body was sent flying several meters, tumbling to the ground!

Higashino Yasumoto pressed forward immediately, his long blade trailing a silver arc of light, and it looked as though Rabbit Demon was about to be cut down!

At that very moment, a small white figure suddenly dropped from a tree, landing squarely on Higashino Yasumoto’s back!

The little rabbit opened its tiny mouth, ready to sink its teeth in hard — but Higashino Yasumoto had already sensed its presence. His body abruptly rolled, pressing down toward the ground!

If it got fully pinned, that little rabbit — which looked adorable but was in truth utterly vicious — would be crushed into nothing!

Right at that moment, two flashes of cold light suddenly flew in from an angle, crossing more than ten meters in an instant, spinning as they slashed toward Higashino Yasumoto!

If Su Rui were here, he would certainly have recognized those two blades!

They were the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Blades!

One of China’s ten legendary weapons!
