Chapter 114 The Critical Situation
As the ninjas charged forward, the audience couldn't help but hold their breath in suspense.
The nine Tang Clan experts responsible for harassing the perimeter were completely entangled with the ninjas, and wave after wave of ninjas attacked them.
At this moment, Tang Jiaren was sitting on a tree branch, using his illusionary body to watch the ninja head finally appear below.
"This old bastard is quite good at hiding. According to Mingyi, he didn't come out of this tent last time. Don't those old devils even know where to sleep?"
The ninja leader below was directing his ninja followers to fight off the attacking Tang Clan disciples.
A young man in a Japanese school uniform emerged from the shadows in the corner.
He looked very young, and his appearance was no different from that of a student.
Lu Ci looked at the "old acquaintance" who had suddenly appeared, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
"I never thought I'd see you again, you bastard."
The new character appearing in the video is none other than Eita Nikaido, who murdered Lu Ci's brother.
Lu Ci always wanted to kill him to avenge his brother, but in the end he failed and only saw him fall off a cliff after being poisoned.
He never found the body.
Lu Ci desperately wanted to know whether Nikaido Eita was dead or not!
Qin Le then began to introduce Eita Nikaido's personal story to the audience.
Eita Nikaido, known as the "Demon," wields the sword "Hiruma," a cursed sword inhabited by the soul of a swordsman.
This demonic sword possesses an extremely terrifying ability: it can absorb the soul of an opponent after killing them, thereby gaining a portion of the target's cultivation techniques.
Moreover, the person who holds the "Hirumaru" can directly obtain the power it has absorbed over the years and directly possess a vast amount of Qi.
However, this knife is not something that just anyone can use. If an ordinary person picks up this knife, they will be directly controlled by the soul residing within it, and will eventually die from having all their blood drained by the demonic knife.
The once-powerful demon sword "Hiruma" was secretly kept by the Ishikawa family, who had been searching for a way to destroy it, but unfortunately, they had not succeeded.
Ultimately, Eita Nikaido stole "Hiruma" from the Ishikawa family and brought it to the mainland, where he killed several extraordinary individuals from prestigious families.
This includes the biological brother of Lu Ci, one of the Ten Elders.
Even now, the souls slain by Hirumamaru remain trapped within, unable to find release.
Looking at the trembling Eita Nikaido, Shinobu asked in confusion, "Eita, what's with that expression?"
Eita Nikaido revealed a cruel smile.
"The head I recently removed belonged to a prominent family among the mainlanders. Hirumaru said he was remarkable and hadn't felt this satisfied since the battle with the Ishikawa family."
"If it weren't for these mainlanders, I'm afraid I would have been unable to resist swinging Hirumaru at the Higanbana ninja."
Upon hearing this, the ninja leader revealed a cruel smile, "Then go ahead and kill all these invaders."
Eita Nikaido immediately unleashed a powerful surge of energy and turned to rush towards the outer perimeter.
Tang Jiaren, who was hiding in the shadows, kept a close eye on the situation below. Just when he thought he was well hidden, the ninja leader below suddenly turned around and threw a kunai in Tang Jiaren's direction.
Ren Tou discovered Tang Jiaren.
The moment he was discovered, the two swordsmen who were standing near the ninja head immediately launched an attack in his direction!
While the attack was underway, several ninjas were watching Tang Jiaren from the shadows. They slowly formed an encirclement, completely surrounding Tang Jiaren.
Meanwhile, the ninja leader stood quietly in a safe position, watching Tang Jiaren, who was locked in combat with the ninjas.
Tang Jiaren looked at himself, surrounded by enemies, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I guess I'm in a desperate situation now? Ha."
Tang Jiaren wasn't the only one caught in a fierce battle; almost simultaneously, all the Tang Clan contestants were engaged in combat with the arriving ninjas.
Tang Mingyi was targeted by a female ninja who could turn invisible.
While she was fighting with an ordinary ninja, a young female ninja suddenly appeared from the shadows and launched a surprise attack on her!
Just as Tang Mingyi was about to retaliate, the female ninja waved her cloak and disappeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.
Dong Chang and Xu Xin, who were responsible for guarding the pontoon bridge, encountered three young ninjas.
Although the three ninjas looked like children, their skill level was quite high.
Dong Chang and Xu Xin were repeatedly defeated by the three children and had no choice but to retreat first. They then used the traps they had laid in advance to launch a surprise attack on them.
However, it did not cause them any serious casualties, and the poison on the device was neutralized by one of the children.
Meanwhile, Li Ding, who was in charge of causing the disturbance, was also entangled by a large number of Japanese soldiers!
A barrage of bullets rained down on Li Ding. The ninjas even resorted to suicidal attacks in an attempt to ensure the bullets hit Li Ding and save his hands and feet.
Fortunately, Li Ding was wearing a sturdy black-tipped armor, which could barely withstand the bullets.
"Is this a bullet? It's heavy."
Facing the hail of bullets, Li Ding spotted the officer in charge on the other side.
The black-tipped armor in her hand condensed into a long needle, which she hurled at him, killing the general on the spot!
Li Ding glanced at the Japanese soldier who was firing at him and made a decision in his heart.
"Not only these ninja, but also the Japanese soldiers here... cannot be spared! Not a single one can be left alive before the Usho-gai clan can no longer hold out!"
Immediately, Li Ding charged at the Japanese soldiers despite being hit by bullets!
Watching Li Ding's actions, the audience could see that what he was doing had gone beyond the mission itself.
They all hoped that Li Ding could return alive, but they also hoped that he could kill more Japanese soldiers.
A large number of black-striped armors were wasted under the attack of bullets. Just as he was about to get close to the Japanese soldiers, the strong man who had been holding a wooden stick appeared.
"Hahaha! I've finally found you! Stop! Stop! Get out of my way!"
As the burly man shouted, the crowd parted to make way for him.
The burly man who had fallen raised his wooden stick and smashed it down hard in Li Ding's direction!
Having exhausted a lot of his Qi from the bullet, Li Ding had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the strong man's wooden stick, sending him flying backward.
Li Ding, struggling to his feet, glanced at Guanyuan, who had yet to send a signal, while the burly man launched another attack on him.
"Sir, you'd better hurry."
