Chapter 266: Enemies Meet
"Everyone wants to live, Guren!"
Li Jie Xuan smiled and shook his head, pulling out a Bloodline Limit extraction syringe from his clothes. "If I let you go out of a moment of softness today, then one day, someone else will decide my fate! And when that happens…"
"Who will spare me?"
The thick needle pierced into Guren's neck. With an expressionless face, Li Jie Xuan drew out the dazzling, gem-like pink blood.
The moment her bloodline limit was extracted, Guren collapsed. Li Jie Xuan could clearly feel her life force rapidly fading…
As the bloodline limit disappeared, the crystal of the Crimson Camellia quickly crumbled. Seeing this, Yukimaru among the Konoha ninja widened his eyes in terror.
"Big Sister Guren!"
"Boom!"
Before Yukimaru's despairing gaze, the Crimson Camellia crystal shattered with a loud crash, scattering into countless fragments taking with it the flood of his tears.
Li Jie Xuan shook his head gently and turned to leave…
Emotionally, Li Jie Xuan quite liked Guren. But from the perspective of the story, a living Guren was actually a flaw in the narrative.
To bloom as brilliantly as summer flowers, and to fall as quietly as autumn leaves…
In Li Jie Xuan's heart, the Guren who died at this moment was the truly perfect one the cold, elegant woman as dazzling and noble as a jeweled flower!
"Return!"
After taking Guren's bloodline limit, Li Jie Xuan attempted to return to the main world, but…
There was no response!
"Let me go back, system!" Li Jie Xuan frowned in dissatisfaction. He had just killed Guren and needed to return to the main world to calm down.
"Ding. The storyline has not ended, and the story mission has not been completed. If you wish to forcibly end the storyline, please commit suicide. That way, you will return to the main world with mission failure!"
"..."
Li Jie Xuan was indignant. "Listen to yourself does that sound like something a system should say? Encouraging the host to commit suicide? What a garbage system!"
"Ding. I was never human to begin with. And I don't have a father," the system replied matter-of-factly.
...
Suicide was obviously not an option. The remaining storyline wouldn't be too long anyway. As he quietly waited by the lake, the comedic duo arrived right on cue.
But just as Li Jie Xuan was preparing to enjoy the "fireworks show," something unexpected happened…
"Akatsuki it really is you!"
Before Deidara could blow up the "turtle," Naruto burst out of the lake with a roar, forming a Rasengan as he charged toward Ah Fei.
"What did you do to Big Sister Guren!?"
"Ahh?"
Ah Fei dodged the Rasengan with exaggerated movements, waving his hands innocently. "Guren? I, Ah Fei, haven't done anything bad. Ask senpai!"
"Senpai?"
Naruto turned his head. Deidara was sitting atop a white bird, looking helpless. "Ah Fei, you brat how dare you sell me out…"
"Deidara!"
Naruto gritted his teeth. As the saying goes, enemies become especially hateful when they meet face to face. It was Deidara who killed Gaara and forced Granny Chiyo to sacrifice her life!
"Last time I didn't catch you this time I'm definitely going to kill you!" Naruto roared, forming hand seals and summoning nearly a hundred shadow clones.
"Tsk, having a lot of chakra really lets you do whatever you want…" Li Jie Xuan clicked his tongue inwardly. That fox-powered cheat alone just the infinite chakra was enough to make anyone jealous…
"Guren?"
Deidara frowned. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you want to kill me? You're still eight hundred years too early, you annoying brat!"
"Explosive Clay Twin-Winged Bird!"
A massive twin-winged bird screamed through the air toward Naruto. Ordinary shadow clones didn't even require an explosion just a swipe of its wings was enough to disperse them.
"Hold it down!" The swarm of Narutos rushed forward together, Rasengans blooming one after another as they slammed into the bird's back.
At that moment, Deidara suddenly grinned.
"Feel the beauty of art, brat Katsu!"
