ACSP: Chapter 52: Ice Release Demonic Mirror, the Unbreakable Bloodline Secret Technique!
"What is Jiang Chen doing?"
"He wouldn't be trying to kill that Hidden Mist Anbu too, would he?"
"No way? Our mission is to kill the rogue Ninja Zabuza, and this Hidden Mist Anbu is also here to pursue Zabuza. Can he be killed too?"
Seeing Jiang Chen draw his sword and point it at the Hidden Mist Anbu, Zhang Xiaolin and the others were all stunned.
But Jiang Chen had no time to explain anything to them right now.
Zabuza had already been heavily wounded by his Chidori and was now at the end of his rope.
If the other party was taken away by the Haku in front of him,
then their ending would inevitably be the same as other secret realm teams, ending in failure.
"Fine, I understand."
Seeing Jiang Chen stop him with a sword, Haku knew the other party had seen through his identity and simply stopped trying to leave.
He gently put down Zabuza's 'corpse'.
Then he raised his head, his indifferent gaze under the mask looking straight at Jiang Chen: "Then next, I will be your opponent."
"To be able to push Zabuza-sama to this point, you are also a worthy opponent."
While speaking,
his hands were already in front of his chest, beginning to form hand seals rapidly.
"Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
As a bone-chilling cold current swept out,
ice mirrors instantly condensed around Jiang Chen and the others, trapping them inside.
Immediately after,
under the shocked gazes of Zhang Xiaolin and the others, Haku stepped directly into one of the ice mirrors and merged with it.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but be surprised at the sight.
The Haku in this secret realm seemed to be much stronger than in the original work.
He remembered that the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals the other party used in the original work only formed a small ice dome, trapping Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto inside.
But here,
the other party's Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals covered the entire area within a hundred-meter radius.
Even the ground beneath their feet was covered with a layer of ice crystals.
"What skill is this? Is it Water Release?"
"No, this is Ice Release. We must have encountered someone with an Ice Release Bloodline Limit."
"An Ice Release Bloodline Limit actually appeared in an intermediate secret realm!"
"It seems this Hidden Mist Anbu in front of us is the hidden ultimate boss of this secret realm..."
Zhang Xiaolin and the others all became vigilant.
This was their first time encountering an opponent with a Bloodline Limit; to say they weren't nervous would be impossible.
After all, in their understanding, an elemental Bloodline Limit was something that stood above all single-element Ninjutsu.
After condensing the ice mirrors, Haku stepped directly into the mirror surface and merged with all the surrounding ice mirrors.
In an instant,
his figure appeared on every surrounding ice mirror.
The ice mirrors refracted each other, creating visual errors that were dazzling.
Tang Si wanted to use a Perception Technique to find Haku's true body, but found that his Perception Technique was useless here.
Haku seemed to be everywhere at this moment.
Every figure refracted by the mirrors was his true body.
Even the emitted Chakra aura was exactly the same.
"Not good, this Ice Release skill can interfere with my Perception Technique. My perception ability has failed here."
Tang Si said with a solemn expression.
"In that case, let's use area skills to shatter all these ice mirrors!"
Ye Ju took out a Space Scroll and pulled out a large iron fan as tall as she was.
Then she raised her iron fan and fanned it forcefully toward the ice mirrors in front of her.
"Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!"
Suddenly.
Wild winds swept through.
Countless vacuum wind blades, wrapped in turbulent storm currents, surged out, swallowing the large area of ice mirrors ahead.
Each of these vacuum wind blades was incredibly sharp, capable of easily slicing through steel.
However, just then.
Something eerie happened.
Those vacuum wind blades, upon striking the ice mirrors,
were actually all dissolved away.
The moment those vacuum wind blades touched the ice mirrors, it was like pebbles being thrown into water; they only caused a slight ripple before completely disappearing.
"How is this possible?"
Ye Ju was shocked, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
That was currently her most powerful B-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu, and it required a special tool to perform, making its power even greater than ordinary B-rank Wind Release.
She hadn't expected it to be neutralized instantly by those ice mirrors.
"These ice mirrors look solid, but they feel like a Genjutsu; they can't be hit at all."
"Bloodline Limit skills are indeed troublesome..."
Seeing that both Ye Ju and Tang Si were helpless against the ice mirrors,
Zhang Xiaolin and Xiao Tu also frowned one after another.
One of them was a healing-type Contractor and the other was an Earth Release-type Contractor specializing in defense; in this predicament, they were even more useless.
"Prepare for defense. These ice mirrors can't be destroyed by attacks, and they allow the user to teleport infinitely between all the mirrors. To find the user's real body, we can only wait until he takes the initiative to attack..."
Jiang Chen stood in place, the Sharingan in his eyes spinning continuously.
The insight of his Sharingan had lost its effectiveness at this moment, as he was unable to determine which mirror Haku's true body was in.
But his Malice Perception was still active.
However, when Haku hid within the ice mirrors, his killing intent was also diffused across all the Demonic Mirrors.
Because of this, it was difficult for him to judge where the opponent's true body was hiding.
Only when Haku actively launched an attack could he accurately capture the killing intent on the opponent's body.
"Coming..."
Suddenly.
Jiang Chen's gaze narrowed, and his sight instantly locked onto the two o'clock direction.
—Whoosh!
—Whoosh!
—Whoosh!
Almost at the same time.
Several ice needles shot out from the two o'clock direction, accompanied by the piercing sound of breaking wind.
Jiang Chen remained calm. Holding his Chakra Thunder Blade, he gave a gentle forward swing, shattering all those ice needles.
Then, with a Body Flicker, he flashed directly in front of the ice mirror that had fired the needles.
He slashed down.
—Bang!
Blade light wrapped in lightning exploded within the Demonic Mirror, but it didn't affect the mirror in the slightest.
"Is the speed still not fast enough?"
Failing to land a hit, Jiang Chen flashed back to the ground.
However.
The moment he landed,
bursts of familiar wind-breaking sounds reached his ears simultaneously again.
And this time, the quantity was clearly much greater.
Jiang Chen looked up.
He saw countless ice needles shooting from all directions like a violent storm.
Dense and overwhelming, they covered the sky.
"Xiao Tu, defend quickly!"
Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly looked at Xiao Tu and shouted.
"Understood!"
Xiao Tu's hands quickly formed seals, and then he slammed them onto the ground.
"Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Nothingness!"
The next second.
—Rumble!
Along with a violent tremor from the ground,
a huge mound of earth suddenly rose from the flat ground, forming a semi-circular rock-and-soil shield that enveloped everyone inside.
Ding, ding, ding...
The sound of ice needles hitting the rock wall soon came from outside.
Seeing that the rock wall hadn't been pierced by the ice needles, Zhang Xiaolin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just then.
Ye Ju suddenly cried out: "Where is Jiang Chen? Why isn't he inside this Earth Release barrier?"
