Normally, ninja squads consisted of three or four people. Since one of them had appeared here, there would definitely be others in other places.
As expected, before he could walk far, Lu Yi saw another dried corpse. It was also from the Sharen Village, and it also had the same technique as Hatsuki Shuomei.
"From the looks of it, Shinobu should have been ambushed by Hatsuki Shuogao and the others, but because he wasn't strong enough, he was killed by Hatsuki Shuogao in the middle of his escape.”Lu Yi deduced," This isn't good! To be able to run so far in the hands of Hatake Shuomao and the other two, he was no weakling. He was most likely a Jounin from Hidden Sand Village. The blood of two Jounins was enough for him to recover.”
However, the development of the matter was beyond Lu Yi's speculation.
When he caught up, he saw Maekawa Izumi carrying two dried corpses, his mouth full of blood, and Qimu Shuogao and the other three surrounding him.
Lu Yi's heart sank when he saw this. Not only had Maekawa Izumi's injuries healed, even his left arm, which had been cut off by Lu Yi, had grown back.
"Limbs regrow! This was a technique that only Blood Devils at the Soul Separation Stage could use. Could it be that the one hiding in Maekawa Izumi's body was a Blood Devil at the Soul Separation Stage or above? If that was the case, then he would be in big trouble!”
Ninjas were not like cultivators, whose souls would gradually transform as their realms increased. To a Blood Demon in the Divinity Separation Stage, a ninja was the best target to possess.
He had strength, but his soul was weak.
"Hmm? His eyes? And his aura…"
Lu Yi noticed that Maekawa Izumi's eyes had regained clarity, and his aura was no longer chaotic. He was even stronger and was even gradually improving. Now, he already had the strength of the middle and late Nascent Soul stage.
"Not good! Hatsuki Shuohei's strength should be around the Leaving Aperture realm, but the ninja's cultivation system was unable to suppress the blood demon's cultivation. If they really fought, if they couldn't take him down in a short period of time, the ones who would suffer would be Hatsuki Shuohei!”
Hatsuki Shuohei had no problem with that. After all, even if Maekawa Izumi absorbed the blood of four Jounins, he would not be able to break through to the Leaving Aperture realm. The key was that Kitamura Ochi, Mizuno Hippo, and Yakushi Dou were only at the Golden Core realm at most.
Ninja squads focused on cooperation, unlike cultivators who might have arrays to enhance their strength. Such a small number of people could not play a decisive role.
If Maekawa Izumi was still in a state of Qi deviation, there would be no problem. However, now that he had regained his consciousness, Kitamura and Otsuki would most likely be a burden to him.
Lu Yi didn't show himself rashly after arriving here because the Blood Devil in the Nascent Soul Stage was no longer someone he could deal with. Moreover, he had just chopped off one of Maekawa Izumi's arms. He was afraid that Maekawa Izumi would attack him the moment he appeared.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Lu Yi decided to hide in the tree.
Hatsuki Shuohei was a little dumbfounded. Their plan had gone very smoothly. Even though they had allowed Shinobu to escape for a distance, they had still managed to kill him.
Unexpectedly, before they could clean up the scene, a one-armed freak suddenly appeared and ran away with two corpses. Of course, he couldn't just stand there and do nothing, so he chased after her.
When he caught up to him, he realized that this one-armed man was actually Lu Yi's target, Maekawa Izumi. Moreover, it was not a one-armed man. That arm was still growing. This made Qimu Shuomao think that he had seen wrongly. What was even more inconceivable was that the two Sand Ninja corpses that he had snatched away had already become two dried corpses.
Not long after, Kitamura met up with him and briefly explained the situation. Only then did he understand the whole story.
Although he was shocked by the strength that Lu Yi had displayed, he understood that the most important thing at the moment was Maekawa Izumi.
"Go!" Qimu Shuo Mao gave the order and the four of them attacked at the same time.
Kitamura Osei's Earth Evasion, Mizuno Hippo's Wind Evasion, Apothecary Ten-san's Poison, and Hatake Shuomei's Blade. The four of them cooperated well and forced Maekawa Izumi to retreat. However, they were unable to take him down.
His right hand was holding a blade, his left hand was using a claw, and he would spit out a corrosive blood mist from time to time. His body movements were also unpredictable. Maekawa Izumi's fighting style was completely different from a ninja's. He was a blood demon!
Medicine Master Tian Shan was a Medical Ninja. Although he was not weak, he was not good at fighting. He was quickly identified as a breakthrough point by Maekawa Izumi.
With the Blood Shadow Steps, Maekawa Izumi's figure flashed and appeared in front of Medicine Master Tian Shan. Medicine Master Tian Shan was shocked. Just as Maekawa Izumi's knife was about to pierce his heart, Hatake Shuogao saved him in time. Even so, Maekawa Izumi's sword still left a deep wound on his left arm.
Hatsuki Shuohei blocked Maekawa Izumi's next attack. Medicine Master Tian Shan hurriedly retreated and used his medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding. However, he was shocked to find that his medical ninjutsu was completely ineffective. Blood could not be stopped from flowing out.
Blood Dissipating Saber Technique was the most powerful martial technique of the Blood Demon. It could injure the enemy and at the same time, invade the enemy's body with its own blood energy, causing the enemy to bleed non-stop until death.
There were only two ways to remove the Blood Dissolving Saber: One was to use his cultivation base, which was at least two realms higher than the Blood Devil's, to forcefully remove the Blood Energy in his body. The second was to kill the Blood Devil. The Blood Energy would lose its owner and dissipate.
Apothecary Tian Shan immediately reminded loudly,"Everyone, be careful! She would not be able to stop the bleeding from his knife wound!”
The three of them were shocked, especially Kitamura. Recalling the previous battle, they couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Fortunately, they were more careful and didn't let him get hurt!
However, Maekawa Izumi saw through his mistake and stabbed his katana at Kitamura Osei. Hatake Shuogu saved him in time. However, Kitamura was still injured, both good and bad.
The good thing was that Kitamura's wound was not directly caused by the knife, but by the knife energy. The wound was not as deep as Medicine Master Tian Shan's.
The bad thing was that even if he was not directly slashed, the Blood Dissolving Saber's effect of bleeding continuously still existed, and it would not be weakened.
Maekawa Izumi immediately retreated after his attack failed, not giving Hatake Shuomei any chance to counterattack.
"Are you alright?" Hatsuki Shuo stared at Maekawa Izumi, his back facing Kitamura Ochi as he asked with concern.
"I'm sorry!" Kitamura said regretfully.”
"Let's end this quickly!" Qimu Shuomao said firmly.”
"Yes, sir!" The three of them replied at the same time.
The attacks of the four became even more intense, but Maekawa Izumi was still using his Blood Shadow Steps to engage in guerrilla warfare with them!
Compared to Kitamura Otsuki and Medicine Master Ten-Kindness, who could not afford to waste their energy due to bleeding non-stop, Maekawa Izumi could recover quickly even if he was injured.
The blood of four Jounins could transform into more blood than four hundred ordinary people!
As more and more blood flowed out of Kitamura and Apothecary Ten-Kin, the excessive loss of blood had already affected their vision and movements. Maekawa Izumi had also targeted the two of them to attack, forcing Hatake Shuobo and Mizuno Hikari to be prepared to save them at all times.
Hatsuki Shuoguo's terrifying speed and superb blade skills were the only things that his enemies feared. However, Maekawa Izumi's blade skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and his Blood Shadow Steps were ghostly and agile. The battle had reached a stalemate.
However, Lu Yi felt that something was wrong. He could not tell for the time being.
At this time, Lu Yi was naturally not idle. He was meditating and adjusting his breathing, trying his best to recover to his best condition in the shortest time possible!
This was because he guessed that there was a real blood demon in Maekawa Izumi's body. There was no doubt that he existed in the form of a primordial spirit. Ninjas could not deal with primordial spirits, so he had to do it.
That was the Sanguine Demon's Primordial Spirit, which was at least at the Divinity Branching Stage. The reason why Lu Yi was confident in killing him was because he thought that if the Sanguine Demon's Primordial Spirit had not been damaged or had not been damaged much, Qianchuan Izumi would have been possessed long ago. Since Maekawa Izumi wasn't possessed, it meant that the Blood Devil didn't have the power to possess him.
Not to mention the Soul Separation stage, even if it was the primordial spirit of the Great Vehicle stage, since he was so damaged that he could not even possess an ordinary Jounin, then Lu Yi was not afraid at all.
However, before he made his move, he had to ensure that he could kill him in one strike. This would depend on Hatsuki Shuomao and the others.
However, the situation was not very optimistic!
Kitamura and Apothecary Ten-Kindness had no choice but to withdraw from the battle due to excessive blood loss. Hatake Shuogu and Mizuno had no choice but to be distracted. They had to protect their teammates and deal with the enemy. In addition to the long battle, their chakras were almost exhausted.
Maekawa Izumi had already revealed a victorious smile.
However, what surprised Lu Yi was that Qimu Shuomei was not anxious at all. Not only him, but even the other three did not have any despair on their faces.
He had seen too many big scenes, so he could face them suddenly?
How was this possible?
The only explanation was that everything was still under their control, or perhaps…they had deliberately created this situation?
"Do you have any trump cards?" Lu Yi Nan Nan said. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Yes! They did it on purpose!"
Who was Qimu Shuomao? That was Whitetooth Woodleaf, who was famous in Ninja World. Even if the current Qimu Shuomao had not reached his peak strength, he should not be this powerless.
Although his attacks were also very exciting, they were rather dull. How could Whitetooth Woodleaf, who could make the other Ninja villages tremble in fear, not have a trump card of his own?
The only possibility was that they were trying to adapt to Maekawa Izumi's fighting style so that they could deliver a fatal blow at the last moment.
On the battlefield, although Kitamura and Apothecary Tian Shan had no choice but to withdraw from the battle, Hatake Shuo Mao's increasingly smooth and natural attacks confirmed Lu Yi's guess.
The battle was coming to an end, and Maekawa Izumi was extremely excited. Just absorbing the blood of four Sand Ninjas had made him more than ten times stronger. If he absorbed another four Leaf Ninjas, how strong would he become?
Just thinking about it made him excited!
With a series of Blood Shadow Steps, Maekawa Izumi shook off Hatsuki Shuobo and Mizuno Hippo, rushed in front of Medicine Master Tian Shan, and slashed down with his sword. Apothecary Tian Shan no longer had the strength to dodge.
Just when Maekawa Izumi thought that he was about to harvest one, his body suddenly staggered. Medicine Master Tian Shan was still alive and well.
