Although the sky was dark, it didn't mean there was no sun. The faint sunlight made it impossible for them to see Zhang Ye's face clearly; they could only make out his blurry figure.

“Looks familiar…” Zabuza murmured. He had fought Saber yesterday, and Zhang Ye had just stood by and watched. Even so, he still had a vague impression of Zhang Ye’s figure.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is who this 'master' you are talking about? Could it be the deceased Yagura?" Zhang Ye slowly descended from the sky, a faint smile on his face.

But in this scene filled with bloodshed and carnage, that smile is like the smile of a devil.

"It's you!!" Zabuza's eyes widened as he stared at Zhang Ye in disbelief.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Junior, is he someone you know? Why does he look so familiar to me too?" Pipa Juzo asked in a low voice. He felt a strange threat from Zhang Ye, and he also suddenly felt that Zhang Ye's face was somewhat familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him before.

Zabuza shook his head. "No, yesterday I encountered a very strong woman, and that woman was his subordinate!"

"A woman?" Hibiki Juzo frowned, then sneered, "You're not saying you can't even beat a woman, are you?"

Zabuza glanced at him coldly and said, "I'm sorry, although I don't want to say it, I really can't beat her, and even you might not be able to beat that woman!"

Those who become members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist or are candidates for them all have their own pride. Zabuza does not believe that he is weaker than Juzo Biwa!

"Just kidding!" Pipa Juzo made an exaggerated gesture.

There are many famous women in the ninja world, but there are very few who can rival him. He doesn't believe he can't beat an unknown woman.

"Thank you for praising my Saber so much." Zhang Ye smiled faintly. "Also, you should answer my question now. Although I consider myself a good-tempered person, isn't it a bit impolite of you to treat me like I'm invisible? After all, I've helped you before!"

"I'm so sorry, I really don't get along with my junior." Pipa Juzo grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and his figure slowly disappeared among the three of them.

"You helped us, so I'll say thank you first, but next... you should just die!"

Suddenly, Pipa Juzo appeared behind Zhang Ye, raising his guillotine sword high and about to cleave Zhang Ye's head in two.

"Really..." Zhang Ye shook his head and sighed, before being cleaved in two by the decapitation blade.

Looking at Zhang Ye lying on the ground bleeding profusely, Biwa Juzo frowned. He felt too relaxed. Was the feeling of danger he had felt earlier just an illusion? He looked at the guillotine in his hand with surprise and frowned.

There was no blood on the knife!

Without bloodshed! This phrase is used to describe sharp swords. Although the decapitation sword also belongs to the category of sharp swords, it is not the kind of weapon that can achieve victory without bloodshed.

Each cut draws blood!

But this time, there wasn't a single drop of blood!

“Could it be…” Pipa Juzo glanced at the corpse that had been split in two on the ground, and sweat dripped down his forehead.

Illusion!!

The Substitution Jutsu couldn't be so realistic; it would only last for a moment at most. Even so, he didn't believe he was under a genjutsu. He was the renowned Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. For someone to fall under a genjutsu, their strength must be greater than his. Moreover, in all his years of killing, very few people had managed to trap him in a genjutsu.

"Smart, but there's no reward!"

Chapter 218 Resurrection!

“Smart, but no reward!” Zhang Ye’s voice suddenly appeared in Pipa Juzo’s ear, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

Startled by the sound, he turned around abruptly, only to find no one behind him. The space was silent, without a breeze, without a sound, and nothing at all.

The silence was as if he were alone in a small, dark room. Suddenly, he felt his heart clench violently. He reached out and covered his chest with both hands, his fingers bent and pinching the powerful muscles on his chest. His eyes bulged out, and his mouth, full of sharp teeth, was slightly open. Air went in and out of his mouth, but did not enter his lungs at all.

His face turned a purplish-red, his muscles were taut, and his knees gave way, causing him to slowly kneel down.

In the very moment he thought he was about to die!

The pressure that had been gripping his heart and neck completely disappeared, and he gasped for breath with his mouth wide open.

"How does it feel? Want to do it again?" Zhang Ye's teasing voice rang in his ears again. The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, but it gave him a different feeling.

Demon, devil, sadist, sadomasochist...

He attributed all these evil connotations to Zhang Ye.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Pipa Juzo released his grip on his neck, his eyes darting around, searching for Zhang Ye's figure.

He tried every possible way to break the illusion, but he still couldn't wake up from it.

Meanwhile, Zabuza and Raiga Kurosuki exchanged shocked glances.

They still vividly remember the insane actions that Juzo Biwa took after unleashing that slash.

Raiga Kurosuki was also a veteran in the ninja world, so he naturally knew that Juzo Biwa was using genjutsu.

"No more cuts!"

"Ah."

The two took a step forward and came to the side of Juzo Biwa, placing their hands on his body and feeling the fluctuations of chakra within him.

The chakra within Biwa Juzo's body would sometimes subside and sometimes erupt all at once, an attempt to break the genjutsu. If this move failed, it meant that the genjutsu he was under was of a very high level, and he could only break it with the help of others.

The two nodded to each other and poured their chakra into Juzo Biwa's body.

But then a sudden change occurred!

An astonishing surge of energy emanated from Hibiki Juzo's body, sending the two of them flying.

“This is…” Kurosuki Raiga’s eyes showed a look of horror.

This chakra belonged to Juzo Biwa himself. Normally, people under the influence of genjutsu would not resist the chakra inputted by others, but Juzo Biwa was different at this moment. The moment his and Zabuza's chakra entered Juzo Biwa's body, it was recognized by Juzo Biwa's own chakra as foreign intruders, and he tried his best to expel their chakra.

Moreover, this chakra contains a strange and powerful chakra that is violent, bloody, and full of burning sensation!

This is the Nine-Tails' chakra within Zhang Ye's body. When he trapped Biwa Juzo in his genjutsu, he channeled the Nine-Tails' chakra into Biwa Juzo's body. If others were unaware of this and easily attempted to break the genjutsu on Biwa Juzo, they would inevitably face an attack from Biwa Juzo and the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Those whose strength is inferior to that of Juzo Biwa will be directly injured by these two streams of chakra!

Raiga Kurosuki's strength was comparable to Juzo Biwa's, but Zabuza was different. His strength was a small level weaker than Juzo Biwa's, similar to Silver Rank 5 and Bronze Rank 1. If Raiga Kurosuki hadn't resisted most of the attacks, Zabuza would have been further injured and might have died directly.

Meanwhile, within the genjutsu, Juzo Biwa also noticed the unusual movement in his own chakra.

He knew that Raiga Kurosuki and Zabuza wanted to help him break the genjutsu, but they were attacked by his own chakra and a chakra he was not familiar with.

"Damn it, what the hell is this illusion?" Pipa Juzo cursed.

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

The teasing voice rang out again, and this time Zhang Ye appeared. He squatted down in front of Biwa Juzo, looking at Biwa Juzo with a mocking gaze.

"Go to hell!!"

Pipa Juzo grabbed the Executioner's Blade from the ground and slashed fiercely at Zhang Ye, but the Executioner's Blade turned into a small toy less than one centimeter long when it was less than a millimeter away from Zhang Ye.

In reality, his strike nearly cleaved Kurosu Raiga in two.

"Damn Juzo!" Raiga Kurosuki touched the spot where the sword had grazed him, his face chillingly cold.

If it weren't for Biwa Juzo's high sense of danger, that attack would have definitely killed him. If they didn't still need Biwa Juzo right now, Kurosuki Raiga would have killed him long ago with that attack.

"Senior Raiga, what should we do next?" Zabuza asked in a low voice.

"There's only one way left!!" Raiga Kurosuki squinted. He really wanted to make Juzo Biwa taste what death was like. If he hadn't dodged quickly, that slash would have really cut off his head.

Although this guidance was not Biwa Juzo's original intention, it was simply intolerable!

"You mean..."

A look of horror appeared in Zabuza's eyes, which made Zhang Ye, who was still floating in the air, raise an eyebrow slightly.

While Juzo Biwa was under a genjutsu, it doesn't mean that Zabuza and Raiga Kurosuki were also under a genjutsu.

When he was about to cut Zhang Ye with his knife, Zhang Ye fell under his spell. It should be noted that the Sharingan's spell only requires the two people to make eye contact.

Zhang Ye, who was in mid-air, crossed his legs, propped his head up with one hand, and watched the scene below with a grin.

"No way, these two guys aren't planning to use that trick, are they..." Zhang Ye chuckled twice: "I didn't expect anyone would still know about this method. This is really interesting!"

Raiga Kurosuki and Zabuza nodded to each other, then sped up and came to the sides of Juzo Biwa, grabbing his arms from either side.

The two men brought their right hands together into a knife shape and stabbed fiercely into the kidneys below the ribs. Biwa Juzo's stiff body immediately went limp. Then, the two men held a bunch of senbon needles that gleamed coldly and began to stab Biwa Juzo's body.

A moment later, Pipa Juzo was covered in senbon needles, and blood flowed from them.

His originally dark face turned ashen, and his lips turned bluish-purple.

While under the illusion, Juzo Biwa suddenly felt a chill in his body, and his consciousness gradually became scattered.

"Could it be... those two bastards!" Hibiki Juzo slammed his fist on the ground and cursed angrily.

This technique for breaking illusions has a nice-sounding name: "Resurrection."

If used on a dead person, this is indeed a way to save them. However, this move can only be used on those who are under an illusion that cannot be broken. The failure rate is very high, as high as 90%, making it a matter of life and death! But it can break the illusion with 100% success rate!

This technique has many different uses, and the one used by Kurosuki Raiga is the one commonly used by Lightning Release ninjas.

First, bleed the body – this is an essential step – followed by a high-intensity lightning shock to the body!

Even a Kage-level expert wouldn't want to withstand such high-intensity lightning, let alone someone who has had most of their blood drained.

Black Hoe Raiya pulled out his twin swords, twirled them, and golden electricity instantly crackled across the blades.

"You murderer, don't you dare die! I was planning to kill you myself!" The electricity on Kurozuki Raiga's twin swords instantly split into hundreds of tiny currents that flowed from Senbon into Biwa Juzo's body.

Sizzle!

In an instant, Pipa Juzo was enveloped in golden electricity.

Raiga Kurosuki and Zabuza both smirked.

"what!!"

Within the illusion, Raiga Kurosuki suddenly screamed in agony. The space before his eyes blurred, his eyes rolled back, his legs kicked, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Seeing the movement of Biwa Juzo's body, Kurosuki Raiga suddenly pulled on his Raiga, pulling out all the senbon needles stuck in Biwa Juzo's body.

The bleeding that had been flowing stopped, and the needle marks closed up.

"Tsk tsk tsk, he's got a really good life, he's still alive!" Kurozuki Raiga said with a hint of surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone who had survived being "resurrected."

"Not dead? No way, senior is incredibly lucky!" Even Zabuza exclaimed in surprise.

The way to tell whether someone is dead or alive is to pull up a thousand sticks.
