That is actually a ninja tool called "Phantom Kunai". It is enveloped in the light of a butterfly, making it difficult to see the shape inside. It can not only automatically track the enemy, but is also extremely difficult to block!

Violet seized the opportunity to attack forward, her swift, sweeping sword movements so powerful it seemed as if the nodachi was propelling her body, rather than her wielding the sword itself. Her posture was wild and unrestrained.

Lu Ye stayed by the girl's side, trying to attack Xiao from both sides, while simultaneously firing a shot at Xiao's head.

Despite being attacked from both sides, Xiao remained completely calm.

"Hmph, then I'll finish this quickly."

Xiao reached into his robes and then swung his hand sharply.

A round, black object exploded on the ground instantly!

A thick black fog spread out, obscuring everyone's view.

The owl disappeared without a trace.

Just as Die was still searching for his whereabouts, Lu Ye sensed a threat.

—Danger!

At the same time, Violet seemed to realize something, and immediately grabbed Lu Ye's hand and rolled to the side.

The next moment, the large bird burning with flames broke through the black mist and struck the butterfly's body directly.

She flew backward, her torso already burned.

"The Lord of the Bojing Forest..." Die coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"That's right, I tamed it."

As the smoke and dust cleared, the owl's figure still stood.

The so-called "Lord" is the most powerful being of its kind, and is entirely white.

For example, the ape with a giant katana stuck in its neck that Lu Ye had seen before was the Lord.

Although the large bird was covered in flames, a closer look still revealed that its feathers were white, and its left eye was injured. However, based on what the owl said, it could be determined that the wound was caused by the owl when it subdued the bird.

“This is only the first step,” Xiao’s gaze shifted to the dazed Jiulang. “Next, I will obtain true immortality, not a defective product like Daoxuan. In the end, the whole world will know my name.”

A shuriken appeared in Xiao's hand: "Butterfly, you and I are old acquaintances, so I'll give you a quick death."

But then, a voice rang out that made Xiao's blood pressure rise.

"You think the whole world knows your name? You're just a country bumpkin ninja. You should go back to feeding the pigs!"

The one who drew hatred was naturally Lu Ye, who knew this was Xiao's weakness.

Even the most stoic person can't bear it if someone's deepest sore spots are constantly being touched.

Therefore, Xiao turned his attention to Lu Ye.

"Very well, before Hirata's samurai arrive, I'll take your head... and feed it to the pigs."

The battle has begun again.

For a time, the sound of blades clashing was incessant.

Owl and Firebird.

Lu Ye and Violet.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Slashes, thrusts, high-hit combos...

Unlike Owl's physique, his swordsmanship was both fierce and agile, with endless variations. Coupled with the various hidden weapons he threw during battle, they were impossible to defend against, even Violet found them difficult to parry.

Lu Ye's efforts these past few days have not been in vain. Through training with Hanbei, he has mastered the basics of swordsmanship to an extremely solid level.

Although it is basic, it is essential and the most important thing.

With just his basic skills and understanding of the Owl's moves in battle, Lu Ye was able to effectively disrupt it.

But Lu Ye's primary concern was not to harm Xiao; his main objective was to protect Violet.

The firebird's charge and flight can be stopped; that white bird wouldn't be foolish enough to charge straight at the blade.

But as time went on, Violet gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

A sharp thrust came straight at her, and the girl leaned back instantly, her straw hat falling off and revealing her beautiful and delicate face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the firebird cried out and swooped down from above. Lu Ye used his nodachi to leap up and slash at the firebird, while simultaneously firing his gun at it with his left hand.

Although the battle was fierce, both sides were looking for each other's weaknesses. If there were no weaknesses, they would create them.

Chapter 126 He who obtains the Dragon's Blood obtains immortality.

But Lu Ye doesn't need to fight to the death; he just needs to hold out until the Hirata family's samurai return.

As a result, even the owl could not escape unscathed from the siege of numerous elite warriors.

But at that moment, the owl suddenly changed its attack direction!

The blade's main attack direction shifted to Lu Ye, while he no longer cared about Violet, whom he had previously regarded as a major enemy.

Even the Firebird began to focus its attacks on Lu Ye!

Violet's expression changed. With her battle intuition, she immediately sensed that the pressure on her side had lessened considerably, but Lu Ye was in danger.

If Lu Ye were to face either an owl or a firebird, he might be able to hold out for a while thanks to his advanced swordsmanship. But facing the combined full-force attacks of a human and a bird, his fate would be predictable...

Damn it! Was the taunting too effective before?

Or do you intend to start by killing the weaker ones?

Lu Ye gritted his teeth and slashed down, his right hand's tiger's mouth splitting open, flesh tearing apart, blocking Xiao's huge katana. But the charging firebird came with flames, but fortunately Violet's horizontal slash forced it to change its trajectory.

At that moment, Xiao smiled—a smile of triumph over a treacherous scheme.

It seems you still don't understand. A ninja is someone who is armed to the teeth and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals...

Although his right hand's katana was blocked, his left hand remained free.

While Violet was helping Lu Ye block the firebird's attack, Xiao suddenly thrust his left hand towards the girl's fair neck.

That's his real intention!

The five fingers were encased in steel finger sleeves, with the interphalangeal joints being particularly sharp, making it incredibly easy to pierce a human body.

Lu Ye noticed Xiao's actions, and his pupils contracted sharply. In this critical moment, his consciousness and body became highly integrated, and almost instantly, he grabbed the girl's waist and swerved to the side.

Violet dodged the attack of the claws.

But Lu Ye's body was pierced.

After all, the two sides were too close, only about half a meter apart. At most, Lu Ye could only get Violet out of danger, and he could only leave his own safety to fate.

"Hmph, what a pity."

Having failed to achieve his goal, Xiao snorted coldly and tossed Lu Ye away like trash.

Feeling the warmth of Lu Ye's blood on her face, the girl let out a mournful cry.

She watched helplessly as his body flew backward, crashing straight into the ten-meter-tall Buddha statue, before falling heavily and landing on the boy named Jiulang.

This was a split-second action; Owl drew his sword and blocked Violet's path.

"Stranger, the battle is not over yet, or... would you rather I cut off your head?"

From the moment he was a few minutes ago, Xiao, who had a wealth of combat experience, had figured out the two men's tactics.

They maintained some reserves and did not launch a full-scale attack, clearly intending to delay until reinforcements arrived.

Continuing like this will definitely be detrimental to me.

Although he had the help of the "Lord," Lu Ye possessed a revolver, whose bullets were much faster than ninja tools like shuriken, coupled with his extremely solid basic swordsmanship...

In order to protect itself and avoid affecting the owl, it was unable to unleash its full power.

The girl before them, Violet, was also quite formidable.

Although her moves show no trace of any particular sword style, her innate fighting instincts allow her to quickly assess the situation, and coupled with her unusual strength for her age, it would take a considerable amount of time to defeat her.

If things continue like this, and a large number of samurai return, then we will have lost.

But during the fight, Xiao discovered that the girl seemed to care a lot about Lu Ye's safety.

Even though Lu Ye was the one protecting the girl and trying his best to keep her away from the firebird, the girl would still inadvertently observe his situation.

So the owl found an opportunity.

The girl was very interested in the man, so all she needed to do was attack him with all her might.

Dealing with someone whose swordsmanship is inferior to one's own is not only easier but also more convenient.

If Violet chooses to attack him, then Lu Ye will surely be killed.

But if Violet wants to protect Lu Ye, she will inevitably reveal a weakness!

Xiao's gamble paid off, but he never expected that Lu Ye would protect the girl with his own body at the last moment.

It's a bit of a shame we didn't kill Violet, one of the main combatants...

But in this way, without the interference of firearms, the "Lord" can also unleash his full power.

The firebird emitted even more intense flames, and the temperature inside the shrine rose again.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Jiulang woke up in a daze and saw someone pressing down on him as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Wow!!"

He recognized the person as Lu Ye, but the surrounding situation left him somewhat at a loss.

The wolf was nailed to a stake.

The butterfly lay on the ground in the distance, barely clinging to life.

Meanwhile, the ninja owl under his father's command is fighting a woman from a foreign land.

A slight throbbing pain shot through his head, and Jiulang remembered.

While resting in the room, a commotion suddenly came from outside. Many warriors were rushing out of the city, and to ensure his safety, Wolf led him to take refuge in the underground shrine.
