Chapter 146 I'm asking you ninjas, are you cheap?
Just as Lei Tao was fighting fiercely with these ninjas, a ninja took advantage of the melee and secretly took out a hidden weapon from his sleeve, aimed at Lei Tao's back, and threw it out with all his strength. Lei Tao seemed to have sensed something, and at the moment when the hidden weapon was about to hit, he turned around suddenly, and the big sword in his hand was like a shield. With a loud "clang", he accurately blocked the hidden weapon and knocked it away. However, this brief distraction gave another ninja an opportunity. He took advantage of Lei Tao's sideways movement, raised the samurai sword high, and slashed at Lei Tao's chest with all his strength. Lei Tao was unable to dodge, and the samurai sword instantly cut through his coat, revealing his exquisite bulletproof vest. The blade scratched across the bulletproof vest, splashing a string of sparks.
Lei Tao was enraged upon seeing this, his eyes instantly bloodshot, his rage boiling like a volcano. He quickly drew a throwing knife from his waist, tensed his arm muscles, and with a flick of his wrist, launched the knife like a flash of lightning towards the ninja wielding the hidden weapon. The knife whizzed through the air, piercing the ninja's throat with pinpoint accuracy. The ninja's eyes widened, a gurgling sound emanating from his throat. He instinctively clutched his hands at his throat, blood gushing from between his fingers, and then collapsed.
A sneer of disdain played across Lei Tao's lips, and he sneered in pure Tokyo-accented Japanese, "This is what you call Bushido, not much. Your Japanese Emperor was born from a prostitute and a male prostitute having an affair on a rooftop, isn't that why he's called the Emperor?!" The moment these words left his mouth, the leading ninja flew into a rage, his face flushed crimson, and veins popped on his forehead. He shouted, "Bakayarō!" and then, desperately raising his katana, rushed towards Lei Tao with bloodshot eyes, clearly enraged by Lei Tao's humiliation and ready to fight him to the death. Lei Tao, however, remained calm and composed. He leaned slightly to the side, easily avoiding the ninja's frantic slash, and at the same time, his electric sword slashed towards the ninja's leg, the blade swirling with electricity and making a "sizzling" sound.
The ninja felt a sudden surge of pain and numbness in his leg. He lost his balance, staggered forward a few steps, and fell to one knee. But he refused to give up. Suppressing the pain, he brandished his katana and attempted to attack Lei Tao from below. Lei Tao snorted coldly, stepped back to create distance, and then suddenly lunged forward, raising his sword high and slashing down at the ninja's head with the force of a mountain. The ninja's eyes widened in horror, and he hastily raised his sword to block. With a loud clang, sparks flew, and the ninja's katana was completely severed by Lei Tao's ferocious blow.
When the ninja saw that things were not going well, he turned around and tried to escape. Lei Tao took advantage of the situation and kicked the ninja on the butt, sending him flying two meters away. He fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Lei Tao taunted him again in Japanese, "I say, you ninjas, are you cheap? Why steal our Qingcheng Sect's "Butt Backwards Flat Sand Falling Goose" when you can steal some other Chinese martial arts?" The ninja who was kicked away was both ashamed and angry, but too injured to fight again, he could only glare at Lei Tao from the ground. The other ninjas gnashed their teeth at Lei Tao's taunts, yet fearing his bravery, they simply remained where they were, gripping their weapons tightly and refraining from any rash attack.
Seeing their leader's defeat, the remaining ninjas exchanged glances before simultaneously pulling out several smoke bombs and hurling them around. Instantly, thick smoke billowed, filling the battlefield. The acrid fumes obscured Lei Tao's vision. But Lei Tao remained unfazed. He held his breath, listening intently to the surroundings, relying on his keen hearing and years of combat experience to determine the ninjas' positions.
Suddenly, a ninja, like a ghost in the night, quietly leaped down from the dense trees. His figure was lithe, yet his movements were incredibly swift, attempting to catch Lei Tao off guard and strike him. Lei Tao twisted his waist and dodged sideways, moving as smoothly as flowing water. At the same time, his right hand gripped the hilt of his sword, and using the momentum of his turn, he backhandedly struck the ninja in the abdomen with the handle. The blow, imbued with the might of Lei Tao's waist and abdomen, sent the ninja reeling with a surge of force, causing him to double over in pain, clutching his abdomen with one hand.
How could Lei Tao let go of this fleeting opportunity? He raised his knee and slammed it into the ninja with a tremendous force. The ninja's body was like a kite with a broken string, and was instantly sent flying, landing heavily on the grass several feet away, raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, the other ninja's eyes blazed with anger. With a sharp whistle, he whirled back like a whirlwind to rescue. He brandished his two swords, their flashes like two silver snakes darting through the air, charging at Lei Tao with a biting icy wind. Lei Tao's face remained calm, unhurried, his feet firmly planted, like a pine tree rooted to the earth. He took a deep breath and unleashed the "Head Wrap" technique from the Xinyou sword technique. The swords seemed to transform into a silver halo around him, swirling impenetrably, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier. The two swords struck against this halo, sending sparks flying and echoing with the sound of resounding clashes. With this exquisite sword technique, Lei Tao easily deflected the attack.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Tao exhaled and chanted, his Qi sinking into his Dantian. He unleashed force from his feet, charging forward like a cannonball, unleashing a "Forward Chopping Blade." This strike, a killer move from the Xinyou Sword Technique, condensed all of Lei Tao's strength and energy. The broadsword traced a half-moon arc through the air, accompanied by a whistling sound as it descended unstoppably towards the ninja. The ninja's eyes widened in terror, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late. With a single "crack," the broadsword struck the ninja, crushing him to the ground.
At that moment, another ninja darted from the tree like a cunning rabbit, concealed among the dense branches. Seizing the opportunity to swiftly fire a hidden arrow at Lei Tao as he engaged the first two ninjas in a fierce struggle, Lei Tao caught a glimpse of the cold flash from the corner of his eye. His mind raced, and he immediately unleashed his "Iron Bridge" technique, leaning back until he was almost parallel to the ground. Simultaneously, he used his feet like a serpent to clamp onto a fist-sized rock on the ground. With a sudden push from his waist and abdomen, he leaped upward like a spring, launching the rock high into the air. Then, Lei Tao performed a sideways kick in mid-air, a movement as seamless as a kite's somersault. His foot struck the rock with such precision that it flew like a cannonball, darting towards the incoming hidden arrow and colliding with it mid-air. A spark flew, followed by a few crisp clinks, and then both the rock and hidden arrow scattered into the jungle...
Lei Tao landed steadily, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily. A rustling sound echoed from the surrounding woods, suggesting more ninjas were lurking in the shadows, ready to strike. Lei Tao knew the battle had only just begun. He crouched down slightly, his broadsword across his chest...
Soon, several ninjas emerged from the woods on all sides, forming a fan-shaped formation around Lei Tao. He scanned the area, his thoughts forming a mental calculation. These ninjas worked in perfect harmony, evidently well-trained elite warriors. He decided to strike first. With a flick of his body, he advanced like a ghost, unleashing the "Bengquan" (Bengquan) technique from the Xingyiquan technique on the ninja in front. The punch was lightning-fast, short and swift, like a bullet from a gun. Before the ninja could react, Lei Tao's punch struck him in the chest, sending him flying backward, knocking down two ninjas behind him.
However, the ninjas did not retreat, but instead launched an even more fierce attack. Seeing the dire situation, Lei Tao quickly pulled out two Scorpion submachine guns from the Bagua Gyro space. Holding the guns with both hands, he fired without hesitation at the oncoming ninjas. For a moment, the sound of gunfire echoed through the woods, and bullets poured out like a rainstorm. But these ninjas had strange shapes and were incredibly fast. They dodged left and right in the woods, and the bullets hit the tree trunks around them one by one, sending wood chips flying, but not a single ninja was hit. Lei Tao was a little surprised at this moment, thinking to himself, "Ninjas are quite interesting." He knew that firearms were no longer effective at this time, so he made a quick decision, put away the empty Scorpion submachine guns, and took a deep breath...
But the other ninjas quickly regrouped, clutching their various weapons and shouting as they charged towards Lei Tao once again. Lei Tao remained calm, his steps nimble, and he dodged to the side, avoiding the ninja's sharp blades. Then, he quickly sheathed his broadsword and drew two daggers and sabers from his waist. In an instant, a fierce aura emanated from him.
Lei Tao unleashed his Wing Chun sword technique, his legs slightly bent, his center of gravity lowered. His dagger and saber in his hands resembled a serpent's tongue. He began with the "Wing Chun Asking for Directions" stance, thrusting his two swords forward, interlaced. The flashes of his blades seemed to test the ninja's reaction. The ninjas, observing this, brandished their weapons in an attempt to block. Lei Tao, adapting to the situation, executed a "sideways slash." His body shifted like a ghost, his left-handed dagger and saber slid along the blade of a ninja's long sword. At the moment of contact, he exerted force, using the "sword-wrapping wrist-locking" technique, bringing his right-handed dagger and saber directly to the ninja's wrist, forcing the ninja to release his weapon in pain.
At this moment, two more ninjas attacked from either side. Undeterred, Lei Tao tapped the ground with his feet and leaped high, twisting his body in the air. His swords slashed from top to bottom, creating two streaks of cold light—a technique known as "Double Blade Falling." The ninjas hurriedly raised their swords to block, but the force of Lei Tao's swords numbed their arms. Landing, Lei Tao then launched a sliding kick, shielding himself with his swords, and launched a shovel at the ninjas' lower bodies. The ninjas leaped to avoid him. Seizing the opportunity, Lei Tao leaped up with a "carp jump," his swords dancing in a flash of light, unleashing "Wing Chun Gale." The intense force of his swords swept over the ninjas like a raging storm. Under this fierce attack, several ninjas were caught off guard, and Lei Tao slew them one by one. Blood splattered on the ground, mixing with the dust.
