"Lin, Linto!"
Chief Morimura took half a step back, protecting everyone behind him.
Linto's bad name had already spread throughout the Land of Water. Chief Morimura didn't expect Linto to be in his area, and even more so, he didn't expect Linto to dare to come!
After the shock...
Was pure joy!
If he could help the two Ninja Swordsmen Seven defeat Linto, it would definitely be a great achievement.
Chief Morimura had long since provided enough money to the Daimyo. The reason he hadn't been promoted was because he lacked a "contribution" that could convince everyone.
Now, the credit was delivered to his door.
Great luck, absolute great luck!
Chief Morimura gave Sanjuan Wolf an order, "Assist the two adults and kill the rebel Linto!"
"Yes!"
Sanjuan Wolf drew his ninja sword, lowering his body. On the other side, two or three guards ran back to notify the samurai and guards stationed in the town to assemble.
Biwa Jūzō hoisted Kubikiribōchō, "You're Linto? A rogue ninja from Konoha... Do you know Might Duy?"
Linto had no intention of answering the question. The longer it dragged on, the more samurai and ninja would come to support.
"Kill one first!"
Linto took a deep breath, Ripple power swirling around him. The horse beneath him neighed again, hot air gushing from its mouth and nostrils.
Linto pulled the reins, and the horse jumped over the broken walls, galloping madly, as if man and horse were a war chariot, charging towards Chief Morimura, who was shrinking in the back.
"Boy, you don't seem to take me seriously."
Biwa Jūzō's sinister voice appeared in Linto's ear. A whooshing sound was heard, and Kubikiribōchō swung around and chopped at Linto.
But Linto didn't even look at him, just saying calmly:
"Is there a problem?"
When Biwa Jūzō heard this, a fire blazed up, and his speed of swinging the sword was faster than usual.
But this was the moment Linto had been waiting for.
Star Platinum suddenly appeared, throwing a punch. Linto held the sword with both hands, slashing horizontally from the other direction.
Both man and Stand attacked Biwa Jūzō at the same time.
When Linto said to kill one first, he wasn't referring to Chief Morimura.
That kind of "civil official" could be killed at any time.
What mattered were Biwa Jūzō and Kurosuki Raiga.
As long as he could kill one of them first, tonight's battle would be much easier!
Clang—
The blades collided, creating long rings of sword sounds.
Two slender swords with reverse barbs between the blades blocked Linto's horizontal slash.
It was Kurosuki Raiga!
A trace of blue electricity flashed on his skin. Kurosuki Raiga, who was skilled in Lightning Release Ninjutsu, could use the Lightning Blade Kiba in his hands to unleash extremely high speed in battle.
Kurosuki Raiga sneered, "Killing that trash Suikazan seems to have made you a little carried away. I'll now—"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a "hissing" sound.
He saw that the back of the sword wrapped in bandages in Linto's hand was spewing out silver-white flames, and the bandages were completely burned away.
A straight, huge, angular, and completely black sword appeared before everyone's eyes.
At this moment, an increasingly surging power, beyond human imagination, was continuously transmitted from the blade, making Kurosuki Raiga unable to breathe.
"What... what kind of sword is this?!"
Black Sword - Doom.
Under Knife Master's excellent technique, there were a full one hundred and eight meridians inside the Sword of Doom, imitating the human body to breathe Ripple.
After Ripple power was injected, it would receive an exponential increase. Linto didn't know swordsmanship, so this was a pure crushing of power, speed, and reaction.
Kurosuki Raiga only lasted less than half a second before being knocked away.
Sanjuan Wolf, who was about to rush over to support, froze in place.
One blow!
He didn't expect that the legendary Ninja Swordsmen Seven, in a two-on-one situation, couldn't even block Linto's one blow and was knocked away!
It was too scary!
Kurosuki Raiga, who was flying in the air, barely stabilized his body, and waved the Lightning Blade Kiba in the air, two silver-white lightning bolts traveling along the blade to the sky.
This was the power of the Lightning Blade Kiba, able to create and manipulate lightning.
Rumble—
Rolling thunder appeared, and a bolt of lightning fell into his hand.
Linto glanced at it.
Wasn't this a lightning rod?
Kurosuki Raiga raised the sword in his hand high, lightning flashing on the blade. The moment he landed, his longsword pierced into the ground.
"Lightning Burial: Lightning Feast!"
Streaks of lightning spread along the ground, biting towards Linto like venomous snakes.
Sanjuan Wolf also came back to his senses, making hand seals and summoning three ninja wolves with wings on their backs. The ninja wolves roared and charged together.
Kurosuki Raiga stared at Linto.
His purpose wasn't to kill Linto, but to temporarily force Linto back, giving Biwa Jūzō some time to breathe.
However...
Linto tilted his head slightly, and their eyes collided in the air for half a second.
Kurosuki Raiga's heart skipped a beat.
"He saw through it!"
Star Platinum grabbed Linto with one hand and Biwa Jūzō's sword with the other, and with a forceful shove, threw the two of them out of the courtyard.
"What is he doing?"
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
Was he... running away?
But if he was running away, why did he bring Biwa Jūzō? Could it be that he was too nervous and saved the wrong person?
Only Kurosuki Raiga reacted. His heart fell to the bottom—
"He's forcibly creating a one-on-one situation!"
Sanjuan Wolf suddenly reacted, cold sweat seeping from his back.
Too scary!
Not only was his combat strength powerful, but also his calm combat skills.
After the first strong kill failed, Linto understood that it would be very difficult to kill one person surrounded by strong enemies.
Therefore, he decisively left with Biwa Jūzō.
Linto was playing with a time difference. He wanted to kill Biwa Jūzō before Kurosuki Raiga and others could help!
...
"You chose to kill me first? It seems I'm really being underestimated." Biwa Jūzō said coldly.
"Is there a problem?"
The same answer.
But with a different state of mind.
Biwa Jūzō wasn't angry, and he knew that Linto didn't underestimate him. Or rather, all enemies were treated the same in Linto's eyes.
Language was just a means of disturbing the other party's mind.
Now this little trick was useless.
So, the two fell silent, no longer speaking.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Biwa Jūzō's forehead.
The intelligence was wrong!
According to the intelligence, Linto was good at using invisible and intangible evil spirits. His body did not use Ninjutsu or Taijutsu and could only summon one evil spirit at a time.
Biwa Jūzō guessed that Linto's power was similar to a ninja beast summoner.
Biwa Jūzō, who possessed Kubikiribōchō, was the most resistant to attacks among the Ninja Swordsmen Seven. Therefore, he formulated a plan:
He would hold back the evil spirit, while Kurosuki Raiga, who was the fastest, would unleash extreme speed to kill Linto.
But no one expected that Linto's close-range combat ability would be so strong!
Second stage - with the Ripple and the power of the Sword of Doom, Linto's all-out frontal assault ability, in a short period of time, was not inferior to Star Platinum at all.
Biwa Jūzō swallowed:
"This guy... is simply a monster without any weaknesses!"
"No, there's still one weakness."
"Ninjutsu."
"As long as Kurosuki Raiga comes, and they use Ninjutsu together, they can suppress Linto. The most important thing now is not to be killed by him, but..."
Biwa Jūzō stared at Linto, who was walking over with the Sword of Doom in one hand.
He felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique."
Strands of fog appeared, obscuring Linto's vision. Biwa Jūzō hid in the fog, his figure hidden.
Linto waited for a few seconds and asked softly:
"Aren't you coming to kill me?"
The voice echoed in the mist.
Biwa Jūzō, who was standing more than ten meters away, snorted coldly. The Hidden Mist Technique was indeed the most suitable Ninjutsu to cooperate with assassination techniques.
But from this moment on, he would no longer approach within two meters of Linto.
"Since you're not coming, just stand still."
"Stand still?"
Biwa Jūzō didn't understand what Linto was saying. Was it another psychological tactic?
He hesitated whether to move or not, fearing that Linto had some strange means to discover his movement, and was deliberately saying that.
At this moment, a faint buzzing sound came from the air. Biwa Jūzō looked up.
A series of "egg"-sized things were falling from the sky.
When they fell in front of him, Biwa Jūzō saw clearly what they were, his face pale.
They were dozens of mini-missiles!
Boom—
The sky-shattering explosion of fire dispelled the fog.
Sanjuan Wolf, Chief Morimura, Kurosuki Raiga and others finally arrived in a hurry. They saw Linto standing in the fire.
Like an evil ghost just out of hell.
