Chapter 279: Must Kill
The Land of Artisans was founded single-handedly by Seimei.
But very few people knew that Seimei had an older brother named Qingzheng…
As the ruler of the Land of Artisans, Seimei's skill in crafting ninja tools was naturally among the best in the world. His older brother, Qingzheng, however, was far inferior.
In fact, among the master craftsmen of the Land of Artisans, Qingzheng's skill ranked at the very bottom…
Because of this, Qingzheng's business was poor. To save face, Jintian appeared. The shrewd Jintian often managed to bring Qingzheng some decent orders.
The reason Jintian mistook Li Jiexuan for an official from Kirigakure was entirely because Qingzheng had heard that an important figure from Kirigakure would soon come to the Land of Artisans to place a large order…
Qingzheng had misjudged his own standing. The person coming from Kirigakure wasn't just some official it was the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki.
Gengetsu Hōzuki himself was a bit incredulous. He had only come to place an order for ninja tools. Just as he was about to wave goodbye to Seimei, he suddenly saw Li Jiexuan killing someone…
"Wasn't Li Jiexuan supposed to be dead?"
Gengetsu Hōzuki looked completely stunned. The feeling was like going downstairs to buy breakfast and suddenly seeing Jack Ma next door eating porridge.
However, Gengetsu Hōzuki had no intention of stopping Li Jiexuan. As for the reason…
Would you slap Jack Ma's bowl of porridge out of his hands and scold him, saying: "You're the richest man how can you be eating porridge? You should be eating bird's nest!"
If someone really did that, Gengetsu Hōzuki would consider them a true warrior…
"You brat, stop!"
A "warrior"… had appeared.
Standing beside Gengetsu Hōzuki, Seimei suddenly roared in anger, attempting to stop Li Jiexuan. Unfortunately, Li Jiexuan was determined to kill Qingzheng and had no intention of stopping…
"Damn it!" Seimei thrust out both hands and shouted, "Ya Li Dark Blade!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz "
Several snake-like purple blades shot out from Seimei's sleeves, writhing like living creatures as they extended freely, intercepting Li Jiexuan's Kusanagi Sword.
"Hm?"
Li Jiexuan frowned. Without activating his three major states, his physical speed was only at the level of a jonin. It wasn't surprising that his strike had been blocked, but…
It was actually this ninja tool that had automatically stopped him?
Li Jiexuan wasn't unfamiliar with the Ya Li Dark Blade. But this kind of speed was on a completely different level from what was shown in the anime…
Looking up, the one wielding the Ya Li Dark Blade was indeed that white-haired man the daimyo of the Land of Artisans, Seimei!
In the anime, young Gaara had defeated Seimei instantly with a single Shukaku Spear. This wasn't the first time there was a serious mismatch between the anime's power scaling and reality.
But…
"You think this level of power can stop me?"
Li Jiexuan let out a cold laugh. Unnoticed, silver dragon scales spread across his body, and sharp dragon claws effortlessly crushed all the Ya Li Dark Blades blocking his path.
In Dragon Sage Mode, Li Jiexuan's strength had already reached Kage level. These mere Ya Li Dark Blades couldn't stop him…
After tearing apart the blades, Qingzheng had already slipped away like a cunning rat, hiding behind Seimei like a chick seeking shelter.
"Step… step…"
Li Jiexuan didn't mind. He advanced toward Seimei at an unhurried pace. He was determined to kill Qingzheng no matter where he hid, it would be useless…
"Little brother, you have to save me!" Qingzheng clutched Seimei's pant leg in terror. But for a moment, Seimei couldn't find any words…
The pressure Li Jiexuan exerted on him was overwhelming like a true dragon: noble, imposing, and impossible to resist…
