The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 303: Sharp Counterattack: Lei Tao vs. 4 Ninjas

Lei Tao felt a strange aura approaching, and his heart was alarmed. He was about to shout, when a subtle but sharp sound of breaking wind came from the distance. He reacted almost instantly, his eyes suddenly changed, and without hesitation, he pushed Yoshijima Yuko out with force.

At the same time, he bent his legs, exerted force at his waist, and like a flash of black lightning, he soared backwards, drawing a perfect arc in the air and executing a beautiful tactical backflip. Several deadly cross darts, gleaming with cold light, whizzed past where he had just stood. If he had reacted even a fraction slower, he would have been struck by them.

With a crisp clang, the cross dart pierced the trunk of the large tree beside the factory building behind Lei Tao. The dart's body sank into the thick trunk, leaving only the cold, gleaming tail, which trembled gently and emitted a subtle buzzing sound. Lei Tao landed on one knee, supporting himself with his hands. He quickly adjusted his breathing, his eyes sharp as a torch, warily scanning the direction of the cross dart's attack.

Four ninjas in black night clothes slowly walked out of the fog on the roof of the factory. They had ghostly figures and their steps were so light that they were almost silent. They were tightly wrapped in night clothes and wore hoods, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, exuding a cold aura.

Yoshijima Yuko struggled to get up from the ground, and seeing her ninja guard coming to rescue her, she smiled triumphantly and said, "Chinese, considering your super strong martial arts, surrender and be my male lover. I will give you wealth and glory, otherwise you will die, die, die!"

Lei Tao couldn't help but sneer at Yoshima Yuko's ridiculous words. His laughter was filled with disdain and mockery, as if he were listening to the unreasonable behavior of a child. He slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and stared at Yoshima Yuko and the four ninjas with a sharp gaze, emitting a terrifying aura.

"You think I'd surrender?" Lei Tao's voice was deep and powerful, echoing over the empty factory. Every word seemed to carry a tremendous force. "Dream on!" He suddenly shouted, his voice like a bell, shaking the air around him slightly.

"But your identity piques my curiosity. You even have ninjas as your guards," Lei Tao muttered to himself. He reached behind his waist and pulled out a telescopic high-voltage electric shock baton. With a tactical roll, he moved to Yoshijima Yuko's side. Before she could react, he activated the high-voltage shock switch on the baton in his hand and quickly stabbed her in the back of the neck. In an instant, a blue arc of electricity danced between the baton and Yoshijima Yuko's neck, making a "sizzling" sound. Yoshijima Yuko's eyes widened, her face filled with horror and disbelief, and a short, suppressed groan emanated from her throat. Her body suddenly stiffened, her limbs twitching uncontrollably, and then she fell limply to the ground, her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness.

Lei Tao turned around and faced the four ninjas, his eyes full of murderous intent and a cold aura around him, as if he was a Shura returning from hell.

The four ninjas remained silent. The leader nodded slightly, and the ninjas beside them instantly understood. They leaped up and down from the wooden crates stacked on the roof, using the boxes for support as they swooped down like bats towards Lei Tao. Their ninja swords flashed with a cold gleam, aiming directly at Lei Tao's vital points. Lei Tao's eyes flashed, his feet planted firmly in place. He exerted force from his waist, his entire body spinning like a spinning top, his telescopic baton swung through the air, forming a solid defensive barrier. "Clang clang clang," the sound of metal clashing echoed, sparks flew, and he forcibly blocked the ninjas' initial attack.

Undaunted, Lei Tao, his legs slightly bent, like a cheetah poised for a strike, lunged to the right, his speed sending a gust of wind through him. Simultaneously, he swung his telescopic baton fiercely, aiming for the ninja's arm, which hadn't yet retracted. With a resounding "crack," the ninja's arm sank limply, his sword dropping to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this, the other three ninjas immediately changed their formation, forming a triangle to tightly surround Lei Tao. The ninja standing in the front held his sword with both hands, the tip of the sword slightly lowered, assuming an offensive stance; the ninjas on the left and right moved slightly, looking for an opportunity to attack from the side.

Lei Tao stared at the enemy before him, his eyes like a hawk locked on its prey, not missing a single movement. The ninja on his left took the initiative, suddenly lowering himself, his ninja sword touching the ground, like a flash of black lightning, heading straight for Lei Tao's legs. Lei Tao reacted quickly, tapping the ground with his toes, leaping high, and performing a beautiful sideways flip in the air, dodging the fatal blow.

Before he could even land, the ninja on his right took advantage of the situation, leaping high into the air. His ninja sword arced through the air, slashing across Lei Tao's waist. Unable to dodge the blow in mid-air, Lei Tao gritted his teeth and fiercely blocked it with his telescopic baton. With a loud clang, the immense force numbed Lei Tao's arm, sending him flying several meters backward, slamming heavily into a wooden crate on the roof behind him, shattering it instantly.

Lei Tao exhaled a breath of foul air and quickly stood up from the rubble. His clothes were torn by the fragments of the wooden box, revealing the bulletproof vest underneath, but his eyes became increasingly fierce. The four ninjas once again fanned out and surrounded him. Lei Tao said, "Interesting! Then I'll show you my skills!" As he spoke, he made a sword gesture with his left hand and swung it violently at the two ninjas on his left. Two throwing knives that had appeared in his hands at some point flew towards them like lightning. At the same time, he rushed towards the two ninjas on his right with a telescopic steel baton with a high-voltage shock function.

The two ninjas on the left reacted incredibly quickly, sensing the incoming knife and immediately dodging to the side. However, Lei Tao's strike was lightning fast, the knife lashing out with a fierce aura, moving at speeds beyond imagination. With a dull "puff," one of the ninjas was unable to dodge, and the knife pierced her abdomen, burying itself deep within her. The ninja let out a delicate moan, a sound that seemed particularly abrupt amid the fierce battle. She instinctively covered her abdomen with her hands, where the knife's handle had been inserted, a look of pain on her face, and her body slowly slumped to the ground, blood oozing from between her fingers, staining the ground with a crimson hue.

Another ninja was struck in the shoulder, the sharp knife piercing his left shoulder. Blood instantly smeared his nightgown, a large dark red stain. His body shook violently several times, and he fell heavily to one knee, but he still held on and refused to fall. His arm trembled slightly, and the tip of the ninja sword in his hand was pressed against the ground to maintain his center of gravity. His eyes revealed resentment, and he couldn't understand where his opponent's knife came from.
