Chapter 65

"Master, where are we going?" Bai asked.

Su Zhong thought for a moment; he didn’t know where to go either.

"Let’s just walk and see."

After leaving Konoha, Su Zhong could go wherever he wanted. However, he needed a quiet environment to cultivate.

"To the Land of Rice Fields," Su Zhong suddenly said.

That was Orochimaru’s base.

In the future, Su Zhong would need more and more sealing techniques, and it was best to obtain the sealing technique materials as soon as possible.

Moreover, it was said that the environment in the Land of Rice Fields was quite nice, and Su Zhong wanted to take a look.

"However, there’s no need to rush. We can take our time," Su Zhong casually said as he jumped down from the huge stone statue and walked slowly, addressing Bai, who was behind him.

Sasuke’s defection still needed some time.

At this moment, Orochimaru was at his weakest and most sensitive. Su Zhong didn’t want to provoke Orochimaru at this time.

If he triggered Orochimaru’s nerves, Su Zhong couldn’t be sure he could escape unscathed.

Bai remained silent, following Su Zhong quietly, gradually moving farther away.

Three days later, Su Zhong arrived at a small village.

The village was located in a small basin and wasn’t very large.

From the hillside, one could see that the entire village had only about thirty households.

It was noon, and wisps of cooking smoke drifted from the village.

Su Zhong had encountered many such small villages. They were poor and isolated but peaceful and harmonious.

The prosperity of Konoha was not common in the outside world. Without sufficient strength, prosperity often led to evil.

And without great power, one couldn’t achieve prosperity.

Following the uneven dirt road, Su Zhong and Bai walked into the village.

From the hillside, it didn’t seem unusual, but once they entered, they found the village eerily quiet.

Su Zhong suddenly had a bad feeling.

Stopping at a house at the village entrance, Bai called out through the fence.

"Excuse us, is anyone home? We are travelers passing through and would like to buy some food."

The courtyard was silent.

Bai was about to call out again, but Su Zhong waved to stop him.

"There’s no need to call. No one’s inside," he said, frowning, feeling that something was off.

With his Insight Eye, he could see every detail of the courtyard, and there was no one there.

Kicking open the simple door, Su Zhong directly entered the courtyard.

Bai followed, puzzled.

Inside the house, there was indeed no one.

Not only were there no people, but there were no living creatures at all. The chicken coop in the yard was intact, but there were no chickens.

Su Zhong looked around the room.

The walls were peeling, the wooden floor was slightly brown, and the furniture was simple and old. However, the room was very clean, indicating that the owner was diligent.

Su Zhong’s frown deepened.

"Master, should I check other places?" Bai asked, his face pale.

Su Zhong nodded.

Watching Bai walk into the village, Su Zhong’s frown deepened.

His Insight Eye had already covered the entire village.

He was certain that there was no one in the village, or rather, no living creature. Yet, the village was still emitting a faint cooking smoke.

This indicated that the villagers had been preparing lunch not long ago. But now, they had suddenly disappeared, even the ants.

This was not normal!

Su Zhong activated his Insight Eye to the maximum, sweeping across the entire valley.

Five figures suddenly appeared in his mind. They were in different directions, standing on the hills outside the village.

They formed a circle, enclosing the village.

At the same moment Su Zhong discovered them, the five people began to form hand seals.

Su Zhong’s heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong.

"Bai, come back!"

Su Zhong shouted, immediately rushing out of the room and onto the street.

Hearing Su Zhong’s shout, Bai quickly returned to Su Zhong’s side.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

"Hmph! Someone ambushed us?!" Su Zhong said coldly, staring at the distant figures.

Who could it be?

Danzo? Or Uchiha Itachi?

There was no time to think. Su Zhong decided to deal with the immediate threat first.

The key was the five people on the hill. No matter what jutsu they used, as long as he dealt with them first, he would be safe!

But before Su Zhong could attack, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and mounds of earth began to rise.

Dirty hands emerged from the ground, and the mounds grew higher.

Pfft!

Like a punctured balloon, the mounds spat out people with pale faces.

These people were dressed in tattered clothes, with large, rough hands, and they looked like the villagers who had disappeared.

Their faces were pale, as if they had suffocated to death.

But Su Zhong敏锐地发现，这些人的心跳依然存在，而且像大鼓一样砰砰作响，连他都能听得见。

更诡异的是，这些人的心跳声完全是一个节奏！

而且他们双眼呆滞，显然神智全无。裸露在外的皮肤上，可以看到暴起的青褐色血管。

这是一群活死人。

“这些是失踪的村民？！”白有些惊惧。

从土里冒出来的村民站在原地，寂静不动。

但不约而同地，这些呆滞的双眼全都盯住了苏重。

整个村子，除了这些活死人发出的微弱呼吸声，就是像打鼓一样的心跳声。

场面诡异至极，一阵寒风吹过，白忍不住打了个寒颤。

其中一个村民脸色突然变得狰狞。双眼转动上翻，最后只剩眼白。张开嘴露出牙齿，嘴里不停流出唾液。

一声野兽似的嚎叫，猛然朝着苏重扑了过来。

像是连锁反应一样，本来站在原地不动的人群，纷纷大变。一窝蜂地冲向了苏重。

而且他们的速度飞快，脚踩在地上，地面竟然会裂开一道道细缝。

苏重右腿倏然踢出。

啪！

当先的村民顿时被踢飞出去。

苏重眉头一皱。

他一脚下去，立即感觉到了不同。对方冲过来的冲力明显过大。

这些人显然经过了特殊的忍术改造。

力量和速度比平常人足足大了六七倍。

一拳再次砸飞一个村民后，苏重注意到，刚才被踢飞出去的人竟然爬了起来，再次冲了过来。

对方的胸口凹陷下去一大块。

如果是正常人，受到这种伤害，早就死了。

对方却依然疯了一样地冲过来。

看来刚才那个把人埋在土里的诡异忍术，赋予了这些人不一样的生命力。

苏重冷哼一声。

如果是寻常忍者，被这种力大无穷，而又不惧生死的怪物围攻。就算不被打死，也会被活活累死。

但苏重却一点都不怕，他气血旺盛，耐力持久，从来都不怕群战。

冲势！

苏重一拳打出。

砰！

一个村民的头颅顿时被打爆。

拳头收起顺势横扫。

横势！

噗嗤！

身侧跑过来的两个村民顿时被当胸砸成了两截。

半截身躯倒在地上，但却依然爬动不已，凶悍诡异。

苏重冷哼一声，对这种怪物，要的不是致命攻击，而是彻底粉碎！

深吸一口气，右手收到肋下。

顷刻间，拳头便成了漆黑之色。

大龙拳！

昂！

白色的龙形虚影，裹挟着巨大的气流冲出。

苏重正面，一个扇形区域内的人全都消失不见。

空气中飘散着一股淡红色的烟雾。他们全都被苏重一拳绞成了碎片。

苏重突然间想到了迈特凯的朝孔雀，那种高速摩擦，使得空气燃烧起来的拳法。

以他现在的实力完全能够施展出来。

想到就做。

苏重转过身，对着身后冲过来的活死人。

沉腰立马，双拳收至腰间。

哈！

吐气开声，苏重双拳快速冲出。

起初还能看到拳影。到了后来，只能看到一片模糊的不断变幻的影像。

嘣嘣嘣……

空气中响起一连串的气爆声，身前的空气现出一圈圈白雾。

苏重拳头越冲越快。

嗤……

一声轻响，不大，但却清晰可闻。

就像明火扔进滚油之中一样，弥漫在双拳周围的白色雾气陡然燃烧起来。

嗤啦啦！

火焰汹汹，苏重双拳并在一起放在腹部，拳面向前重重砸出！

轰！

火焰像是积聚了很久的火山一样，狂暴冲出。

开始还是一团，接着快速变大，最后竟然形成了一个直径十多米的巨大火柱！

滋滋……

火柱冲出数百米之后，才消失不见。所过之处，焦黑一片。

那些恐怖力大的怪物，全都变成了人形焦炭，站在原地一动不动。

一阵风吹过，焦炭化作一地黑色粉尘。

苏重收拳而立，转过头来冷冷地看了一眼远处的山坡。

周围还有十多个活死人。

但这些人却突然间停下来疯狂扑击的动作，倒在地上不停地抽搐。

不一会儿就化作一滩黑水。显然这个忍术有着极其严重的反噬。

对方主动撤销了忍术。

“想跑？！”

苏重冷哼一声。

啪！

脚下地面炸开一个大坑，苏重瞬间消失在原地。

山坡上的五个人，在看到苏重一拳把人打成粉末的时候，就知道不好。

他们五个人是一个团体，一直在忍界流浪。接取各种任务赚取酬劳，特别是地下赏金所的任务。

他们有一个合击阵法，能够集中五人的力量，转化一大批活死人。

这些催化出来的活死人，虽然很快这些人就会反噬而死。但因为消耗掉了被施术者所有的生命力，所以具有极其强大的力量和速度。

一拥而上，很少能够躲得过去。他们五人因此混得风生水起。

这一次接取了苏重高达一亿的赏金任务，本以为能够大赚一笔，却没想到碰到了煞星。

他们能够在忍界流浪这么久，除了忍术诡秘之外，心思同样足够果断。

“撤！”

五人中的老大立即有了决断！

远远地做了一个手势，五人转身就走，各自朝着一个方向奔跑。这是他们早就想好的撤退方案。

老大奔出数步，双手快速结印。

随着他的跑动，他的身形越来越矮，竟然快速地陷入了土地当中。

仿佛有一个通向地底的阶梯一般，他在土中奔行，毫无阻碍地朝着地下深入。

他们五人本就擅长土遁。以往的时候，也不是没有失败过。只要任务失败，他们就会立即遁入地下。

即使对方厉害，但一时半会儿也绝对追不上他们。加上他们分散逃跑，就更难抓捕。

眼看着就要没入地底，老大心中一喜。虽然任务失败，但能够保住性命也不错。

轰！

突然间，地面一阵颤动。

一股巨大的力量从脚下传来，老大噗嗤一声，像那些活死人一样，被大地吐了出来。

苏重抽出砸进地面的拳头，一脚踩在对方胸膛上。

“说。谁派你们来的！”

注意到苏重右手的血迹，老大脸色陡然一变。

“他们呢？！”

苏重嘴角一扯，露出一个冷酷的笑容。

“死啦！”
