Chapter 148 Demonic Path - Binding Path Part 8

"...Kid, do you know who we are?"

The Sand Village ninja hidden in the shadows stepped forward. Hiruko coldly stared at the three people in front of him and said warily, "Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you that I represent the Sand Village."

"So, do you realize the immeasurable consequences your actions will have?"

At this point, Hiruko lowered her gaze slightly, suppressing her anger, and looked gloomily at the blood-stained wooden box in front of her.

The right choice now is actually to evacuate.

Faced with a force whose intelligence is completely opaque, his cautious nature dictates that retreat is the best course of action.

However, in these special times, a large number of medicines and supplies are hard to come by.

So many people died in the war with Konoha, and a large amount of stockpiled supplies were used up. Sunagakure has spent a lot of effort searching for medicine and supplies.

If today's deal falls through, it means they will be unable to continue their offensive for a long time to come, and the suppressed Konoha will also have a chance to catch their breath.

As the main person in charge of this transaction, if he goes back empty-handed, he will definitely be punished by the village and bear this heavy burden, as well as the strange looks from the residents of Sunagakure.

He didn't want to retreat in such a frustrating way.

and so……

"It's not too late for you to regret it now."

In order to reach this deal, Hiruko suppressed his violent killing intent and threatened in a cold, hard voice, "If you give me what I want, you can still take this money; otherwise..."

"What else?" Yun Chuan asked with a smile, seemingly not understanding.

"...Once your rule-breaking, double-crossing behavior becomes known, no one will do business with you again."

Hiruko felt a surge of blood rush to her head, but she swallowed it down with resentment, and said in a chilling tone, "If you attack us, you will be going against the entire Sand Village."

"You and your men will face endless bounties and relentless pursuit. No matter where you flee, you will be..."

laugh.

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Chuan suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.

The laughter reached Hiruko's ears through the air, and his face twitched as he was already suppressing his anger.

"Even now, you don't still think you're just some unlucky guy who got double-crossed, do you?"

Yun Chuan's casual remark immediately made the face behind Hiruko's mask stiffen, as the possibility he least wanted to think about had come true.

—I encountered a madman.

The other party knew from the very beginning that Sunagakure was behind him, but even so, they still dared to plot against Sunagakure.

Or, in other words...

"I'm going to rob you Sunagakure."

Yun Chuan looked at Hiruko and the Sand Ninja with some amusement, but quickly nodded thoughtfully and said, "However, you're not wrong. After all, we are merchants who value integrity. If we break the rules, it will indeed be difficult to handle."

Hearing this, thinking the other party was about to back down, Hiruko's mood fluctuated wildly. Her cold tone softened with a hint of amusement as she nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it, so..."

"So, the goods have already been given to you, but on your way back you were robbed by the Cloud Village disguised as river pirates. What does that have to do with us?"

Yun Chuan's smile slowly faded, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, none of you will escape. No one will know what happened today."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so dark figures emerged from the dim shadows, amidst the pale light of the lighthouse beams that illuminated the surrounding area.

The shadowy figures, draped in black robes, were silent and chilling, their pale masks slapped by the torrential rain.

They bowed to Yun Chuan, a deep-seated reverence and respect flowing between them.

Within breaths, the entire lighthouse was surrounded, leaving no escape route; tonight, no one could flee.

His vertical pupils, glowing with a scarlet light, remained fixed on the Sand Ninja surrounded by the Sand Ninja, even with his head lowered, like a hyena eyeing its prey.

"Go," Yun Chuan laughed, "tear them to pieces."

In the dark, rainy night, without the illumination of lightning, the black robes worn by the demons served as their best camouflage, allowing them to launch their attacks without making a sound as they cut through the rain.

"ah!!"

Amidst the sound of rain, the first scream rang out and then gathered, like the accompaniment of demons in Paradise Lost during their torture.

Bang! !

The moment Yun Chuan finished speaking, the leeches several meters away also disappeared.

A large crater appeared in the ground, with cracks extending in all directions, and dust flying everywhere.

sough!!

The sound of a cold wind howling shattered the tranquility of the place.

No, that was the sharp screech of something sharp tearing through the air.

Before Yun Chuan, Hiruko appeared in an instant, her pupils beneath the mask filled with a chilling killing intent.

The scorpion-tail-like whip lashed out from behind, reaching Yun Chuan's neck in less than a tenth of a second.

At the same time, the long sword in the hand of Yahiko behind Yunchuan also drew a crimson arc.

But Hiruko seemed oblivious to the katana aimed at her, her eyes seemingly fixed only on Unkawa's hideous smile.

A ninja is someone who keeps their head on their belt and licks the rusty cuts of a knife with their tongue.

Even though he was always cautious, he wouldn't mind risking a minor injury to save an enemy's life.

Besides, this brat who dared to play me for a fool really deserves to die!

Click!

Yahiko's sword, though swung later, arrived first, but it became embedded in Hiruko's raised arms. The blade penetrated three-tenths of an inch before being firmly stuck, unable to go any further.

Seemingly caught off guard, Yun Chuan only had time to raise his hand to shield himself, causing the killing intent in Hiruko's eyes to almost overflow as he roared, "Die!"

Yun Chuan stood motionless, neither dodging nor flinching, watching the nearly three-meter-tall giant figure rush towards him with a fierce wind, waiting for it to reach him and thrust out its whip-like blade!

Just as the spikes were about to strike, the blade was ten centimeters from his neck, death's scythe almost touching his throat, yet Yun Chuan's curved lips barely twitched:

"Rebuke."

In an instant, something seemed to ripple in the air, and pale blue, tangible spiritual particles gathered and condensed into a "shield".

Bang! !

Spikes sharp enough to pierce steel collided with the shield.

It emitted a sharp, metallic clanging sound, and splashed countless water droplets in the rain.

"What is this?" Hiruko stared at the "shield" with her pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

The Eighth Binding Path: Rebuke!

"Binding Spells" are a type of "Demon Spells," a type of curse technique used only by "Death Gods." They are independent of the ninja world system and originate from the character template of [Gin Ichimaru].
