Chapter 78: Chiyoda

Sure enough, the moment Ye Huang closed his eyes for the third second, he sensed a sudden change in the air in front of him. Opening his eyes instantly, he saw the Lone Wolf holding a dark green, coldly gleaming dagger, lunging at him with a fierce expression.

"Hmph! You overestimate yourself. If I were to be attacked like this, I might as well let you be the Blood Demon!"

With a cold sneer in his heart, Ye Huang's body, which had been standing still, swiftly moved backward like a floating weed, his speed so fast that both Crescent Moon and Lone Wolf were stunned.

"This person is still so powerful even after being injured. He will surely be a great enemy in the future. We must do our utmost to eliminate him today!"

Exchanging a glance, Crescent Moon, who had been standing still and not attacking, suddenly moved, charging at Ye Huang from the side, holding a weapon that resembled a crescent moon, its cold gleam indicating its sharpness.

Despite the rapid movement, Ye Huang's face remained calm. He lightly tapped the two thin, blade-like weapons that flew at him first, and with a hidden force, he deflected them off their original trajectory, sending them flying away.

Then, his body suddenly stopped, and he charged straight at the oncoming Lone Wolf.

"The Sun忍术 (Ninjutsu) has some tricks, but your superficial skills are still far inferior. They say the North Star has recruited many capable hands, but it seems to be just a hollow reputation!"

"Hmph! You Chinese always underestimate our Sun Country. Let me tell you, it's not the same as before. Today, I'll show you how powerful the ninjutsu you look down upon can be!"

"Chiyoda!" With a loud shout, the Lone Wolf, who had been charging rapidly, split into five identical figures, all lunging at Ye Huang.

"Ha ha, you have some skills, but they're still not enough to deal with me." As he spoke, Ye Huang fearlessly charged forward, directly entering the circle of the five figures. After a series of clashing sounds, the originally arrogant Lone Wolf let out a cold snort and quickly retreated, landing far away and spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes glaring fiercely at Ye Huang.

This move, "Chiyoda," was one of the strongest techniques his master had taught him before he graduated. In the past, it had always left his opponents at his mercy, but today, it was broken by this man, leaving him shocked.

Almost immediately after repelling Lone Wolf, Ye Huang also dodged a slash from Crescent Moon, moving to the side.

"The Chiyoda of the Koga clan used by you is so weak. I wonder what your master would think if he knew!"

When Ye Huang was on a mission in the Sun Country, he had once encountered an elder of the Koga clan. The Chiyoda he used made each illusion seem real, and Ye Huang had struggled greatly to escape.

However, the Chiyoda used by Lone Wolf was only a superficial imitation, lacking the essence. Ye Huang recognized the real body among the five figures and charged in, overpowering Lone Wolf in a direct confrontation.

With two layers of hidden force, he sent Lone Wolf flying.

"Hmph! Demon, don't be too smug. If my master were here, you wouldn't stand a chance against Chiyoda. But even if this move doesn't work today, you won't get any advantage with both of us attacking you!"

"Crescent Moon, if you don't put in more effort, we'll both be in trouble!"

Lone Wolf was very annoyed that Crescent Moon had hesitated halfway through the attack. He shouted fiercely.

Crescent Moon paid no attention to Lone Wolf's venting anger, calmed his breath, and charged at Ye Huang again.

His crescent moon-shaped weapon, gleaming coldly, clashed with Ye Huang, while his left hand generated a powerful wind, aiming to clash with Ye Huang.

At the same time, Lone Wolf stomped the ground and charged, his hands now wearing metal knuckle guards.

"Do you think I'm still injured? Let me show you the ancient martial arts of China, the true essence of martial arts!"

Facing Crescent Moon and Lone Wolf, who possessed the Sun Country's ninjutsu, Ye Huang was fearless and charged head-on.

Seeing that the Demon was going to fight them despite his internal injuries, both Crescent Moon and Lone Wolf smiled.

Though individually they were not as strong as the Demon, they believed that by combining their forces, they could overwhelm him. They didn't think they would lose.

"Tai Chi, Four Ounces to Deflect a Thousand Pounds!" Just as they thought they would gain an advantage, Ye Huang shouted, his feet firmly planted like a mountain, and he performed the Tai Chi move "Four Ounces to Deflect a Thousand Pounds."

The two fists that were about to collide with Ye Huang were deflected by his slow movements, and two miserable cries followed. Crescent Moon and Lone Wolf, who had intended to kill Ye Huang, were sent flying and fell to the ground, clutching their broken arms and screaming in pain.

Ye Huang, standing calmly like a grandmaster, was unharmed except for his clothes being slightly wrinkled by the river breeze.

The two attacks had been redirected back to their attackers, and their determination to kill in one strike had resulted in their severe injuries.

Lone Wolf, in particular, was the most pitiful. He had already been injured by Ye Huang's initial attack, and this time, he was hit by Crescent Moon, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood before stopping, his face turning deathly pale.

Turning slowly, Ye Huang walked towards them and said calmly,

"Crescent Moon can leave, Lone Wolf, I said I would spare your life today!"

On the ground, Crescent Moon, who was kneeling, looked at Lone Wolf, whose face was already pale, bit his teeth, and finally got up and left without looking back.

He understood that after the two intense clashes, he had used almost all his strength, while Ye Huang had barely exerted himself, resulting in their severe injuries.

If they continued, death was the only outcome. As for Lone Wolf, they were from different clans, Koga and Iga, and would have been mortal enemies if not for working for the North Star. Therefore, Lone Wolf's life or death was not his concern.
