I rely on myself

Chapter 114 Battle

While Lin Yuan and others were fighting, the two Mist Village ninjas, Kawaki and Oboro, who were watching on the boat, had already obtained the information they wanted to know.

"Three invaders with jonin strength? And there should be someone else in that ship. To be on the safe side, they should be ninjas with strength above special jonin. Should we say that they are a team that dares to invade? It's really difficult to deal with."

Although he said such words, the Kirigakure jonin named Haboro showed an eager expression, which showed that he was very eager to join the battle right now.

Kawaki was not surprised by the situation of the people around him. After all, it was not the first day he knew this colleague and he had a certain understanding of his situation.

"That's enough. There are three intruders. The tall one is good at Taijutsu and Fire Style, and is a jonin. The one with the ninja sword is good at Taijutsu and swordsmanship, and should know a little bit of Wind Style. His strength is not that of a jonin, but should be a special jonin. The last one should be good at Taijutsu. As for Ninjutsu, since he was able to take the Water Whip without any problem, it is speculated that he used Earth Style: Earth Spear. Based on this, we can infer that he is good at Earth Style and should also be a jonin."

Kawaki recalled the performance of Lin Yuan and the other two since the beginning of the battle, and quickly summed up the methods they were good at and their approximate strength.

"Then let's take action and kill all those guys who dare to come to our Hidden Mist Village without knowing how to live or die."

These murderous words came from a newly appeared Kirigakure ninja, who appeared silently beside the two Kirigakure jonin. Even they did not notice when he appeared here.

Looking at the Mist Ninja who suddenly appeared and exuded an amazing murderous aura, Kawaki and Oboro couldn't help but feel alert.

Although they were wary of the other's appearance, the two still had great faith in the strength of this Kirigakure ninja who suddenly appeared.

"Lei, you're here. It seems that one of these guys has aroused your interest. Then who are you responsible for?"

The Kirigakure ninja called Lei did not say anything, but just looked at one of the ninjas, indicating who he wanted to deal with. After seeing Lei's target, Kawaki and Oboro had no objection.

"If that's the case, then we should hurry up and act. Although they are just some subordinates who can be replenished at any time, it will still be troublesome if too many die at once."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them ran towards their respective goals.

After Lin Yuan used the kunai in his hand to defeat the Kirigakure Chunin, he looked around and saw that of the dozen Kirigakure Ninjas who were so powerful at the beginning, only a few cats and dogs were left. This was because Lin Yuan and others needed someone to report the situation. This shows how strong the strength of Lin Yuan and the other two was just now.

Just when Lin Yuan wanted to meet up with Sarutobi Yuichi and Oi Takeo, suddenly a shocking murderous aura came over him. Feeling this murderous aura, Lin Yuan knew that an unusual guy was coming.

Before Lin Yuan could react, a sharp blade suddenly stabbed out from his sea of ​​energy and headed straight for Lin Yuan's vital points. The cold light on the blade indicated that the other party was determined to take Lin Yuan's life.

But Lin Yuan still reacted, blocking the dangerous attack with a kunai, and at the same time retaliated with a kick.

The opponent blocked the kick with his arm, and then used the force to retreat. Seeing the opponent distance himself, Lin Yuan did not rashly launch a pursuit, but stood there and watched the situation develop.

After the enemy had pulled away for a distance and stood firm on the sea, Lin Yuan had the opportunity to see the true face of his opponent. The upper body of the attacker was only wearing a black vest, completely exposing his shoulders and hands. On his arms were a pair of sleeves, holding a ninja sword. The cold light reflected from the blade showed how sharp it was. The lower body was wearing a pair of striped gray trousers.

After noticing Lin Yuan's gaze, his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing his beast-like fangs, and the other party spoke.

"I was right. You are the strongest among this group of invaders!"

Although he was asking, his tone showed that he was very sure that his answer was correct, and Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding anything, so he answered directly.

"If nothing unexpected happens."

“Haha, that’s the best. It would be fun to take away a powerful guy like you. Remember my name, Lei. Don’t go to hell and wonder who killed you!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party burst out with astonishing murderous aura and attacked Lin Yuan at the same time.

In less than a second, he had rushed in front of Lin Yuan, waving the blade in his hand towards Lin Yuan. His swordsmanship abandoned all frills. Stabbing, cutting, standing, and slicing were very simple, but every move was aimed at the vital points. It was a killing skill purely honed on the battlefield.

It is also a skill he is proud of. He used to rely on this swordsmanship to easily kill those so-called elite ninjas, and gradually climbed to his current position which is very close to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He believes that this time will be the same. The elite ninja in front of him will be easily killed by him like those guys before and become a part of his own record.

But is this really the case?

Every fatal blade was blocked by Lin Yuan with a light wave of the kunai. The continuous attacks did not make him panic. He just waved the kunai as usual to easily block each attack. No matter how the Mist Ninja named Lei waved the blade in his hand, he could not reach the enemy in front of him.

After another unsuccessful attack, Lei's mentality suddenly collapsed and he could no longer remain calm and shouted.

"Asshole, how cowardly are you? You never fight back, you only know how to defend!!!"

Seeing that the skill he was so proud of was blocked by the opponent without a single miss, Lei was devastated. He thought that the opponent was only able to block it because he was on the defensive the whole time, so he wanted to provoke Lin Yuan with words and make him launch a counterattack, thus revealing a flaw.

Back to Lin Yuan, he felt very relaxed since the previous battle. Although this set of swordsmanship was very powerful in the eyes of the opponent and could be ranked among the best in the entire ninja world, it was very easy to see through for Lin Yuan who had the memories of the world of failure. After all, compared to the world of failure where a hundred martial arts flourished, the ninja world still paid more attention to ninjutsu and the like.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could deal with the opponent's attacks very easily. Even in the previous battle, Lin Yuan had several opportunities to counterattack. Even if he could not kill the opponent, he could at least injure the opponent.

If it weren't for the purpose of hiding his own strength, Lin Yuan really didn't want to continue to stalemate with the other party like this. Looking at the other party's frustrated look, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel pity for him.
