297: Chapter 293: Annihilation 297: Chapter 293: Annihilation After the Blade Sealing Technique was completed, Chen Hai saw the wounds on Bai Xiaohang’s body begin to slowly scab over, and he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As for Hirano Keiji and the others, Chen Hai really hadn’t taken more than a few glances at them.
After all, human life is more important than anything else.
The reason Bai Xiaohang ended up wounded like this was entirely because he was acting as Chen Hai’s protector.
Had it not been for his defense here, if Hirano Keiji and his group had broken into Chen Hai’s Cultivation Room, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
It should be known that after spying those two terrifying beings, Chen Hai had completely lost consciousness and passed out.
Facing the Japanese ninjas, he had absolutely no power to fight back and could only allow them to slaughter him at will.
If he truly lost his physical body and was left with only his Divine Soul…
Even though Chen Hai’s Divine Soul was now many times stronger than that of an ordinary person, his fate, although not as tragic as the former Limp Zhang, would definitely not have been much better!
Now that he had awakened and emerged from the Cultivation Room,
preserving Bai Xiaohang’s life so that he wouldn’t lose it was naturally his current top priority.
As for Hirano Keiji and that Uchida-kun, within his own range of control, they wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble!
The sickly looking Chen Hai had never taken Hirano Keiji seriously.
After instructing Uchida-kun to take action, his attention had been vigilantly set on his surroundings, guarding against any sudden emergencies.
As for Uchida-kun, although his strength was far inferior to Hirano Keiji’s and even though he vanished from sight, his disappearance wasn’t completely without a trace.
Anyone with decent vision, who paid attention deliberately, could see a shadow on the ground, rapidly approaching Chen Hai’s location.
“Using mental interference to affect the perception of others, is this what you call Ninjutsu?”
“With such trivial skills, you dare to flaunt your expertise before me?
Who gave you the courage?”
“To injure my people on my territory?
Who gave you the audacity?”
“Scum, let me show you what true Supreme Taoist Skill is…”
Chen Hai, having roughly confirmed that Bai Xiaohang’s life was not in danger, finally turned his gaze to the other side, locking onto the swiftly approaching shadow.
The man who seemed weak and powerless just a moment ago, now had an extremely sharp look in his eyes.
Without any other action, just with a glance from him,
flames blazed forth in an instant, engulfing the shadow entirely.
“Ah…
help me…” The shadow that was Uchida-kun could no longer hide and directly revealed his form.
First, his black clothes, black pants, and black mask were completely burned away.
Next, his hair and body hair ignited.
Finally, the naked Uchida-kun’s body fat started raging with flames.
The fire consuming his body was so strange that even as he rolled and tumbled on the ground, not only did it not extinguish, but the flames grew even larger.
A ninja endures what no one else can.
But at this moment, this situation truly exceeded Uchida-kun’s limits of endurance.
His wailing was miserable and heartbreaking.
His pitiful eyes occasionally turned to Hirano Keiji, seeming to seek some assistance from him.
Regrettably, Hirano Keiji, whose complexion had also greatly changed, paid no attention to him.
In less than a minute, the man who had been furiously rolling on the ground was utterly silenced.
After another minute or two, the flames finally died down, and by then, Uchida-kun was no longer to be seen, leaving only a pile of ashes remaining on the ground.
“Chen Hai, did you do this?”
“It turns out, there’s no highly skilled mentor behind you at all.
It’s you who are truly strong!”
“I’m sure that you are definitely not a Tao Cultivator; their strength couldn’t possibly be as immense as yours.
Can you tell me, just who are you?”
Staring intently at Chen Hai, Hirano Keiji spoke slowly, word by word.
The saying goes, the player is blind while the spectator sees the whole game.
Hirano Keiji, who had been watching from not too far away, had truly felt the terrifying power that emerged from Chen Hai when Uchida-kun turned into a man of fire.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the fear that emerged from the depths of his heart when he practiced Ninjutsu and borrowed Secret Techniques to peek at divine beings.
Despite his seemingly calm and composed exterior, deep down, he was panicking terribly.
Why did he turn a blind eye and remain indifferent while Uchida-kun was frantically wailing in the flames, pleading for help?
Wasn’t it because he, too, had developed a deep sense of fear towards Chen Hai?
He didn’t dare to act rashly, afraid that he would meet the same fate as Uchida-kun.
Indeed, the moment Chen Hai displayed his power, he thought about turning around and running without a word.
However, in just an instant, this thought was already negated by himself.
After all, Chen Hai could turn Uchida-kun into a man of fire with just a single thought.
In terms of strength, Hirano Keiji was certainly much stronger than Uchida-kun, but Hirano Keiji had no confidence in his ability to withstand the burning of the flames.
“Who am I?
Didn’t you just see for yourself?
Just a sick man!”
“The few who broke in here should be led by you, right?”
“I have never been to Japan, and there has never been any conflict between your ninjas and me.”
“Can you tell me, under whose orders you came to deal with me?”
With a sneer, Chen Hai hummed softly.
He slowly stood up and step by step, made his way toward where Hirano Keiji was.
His steps were still faltering, and his whole appearance still seemed listless, as though a breeze could blow him away.
This time, he entered that mysterious and hazy state once more to peer at the Black Water Leech Emperor again.
Although the gains were not insignificant, the harm to his body was also extremely severe.
For minor injuries, with the Undying Characteristic he possessed, Chen Hai could likely recover in three to five days.
But this time, the injuries he had sustained were so grave that even with two or three months to recuperate, he had no assurance of a full recovery.
The only thing he felt fortunate about was that although his physical body was damaged and his Divine Soul severely wounded, his realm was still there, allowing him to still control fire.
However, the range within which he could wield the Flame Power had shrunk nearly tenfold from two or three hundred meters, now limited to a mere twenty to thirty meters around him.
Despite this, for Chen Hai, it was more than enough to deal with these ninjas!
“Chen Hai, I…” Hirano Keiji was thinking of explaining something but could only get a few words out before he couldn’t continue.
The boundless sea of fire suddenly appeared, engulfing him completely.
Bai Xiaohang had become so severely injured protecting himself.
If Hirano Keiji came a little later, he might have died on the spot.
As the main culprit behind Bai Xiaohang’s severe injuries, Hirano Keiji had already been sentenced to death by Chen Hai.
His earlier words were merely intended to lull this man, just so he could close the distance between them.
After all, Hirano Keiji’s strength was far superior to that of Uchida-kun, who had died at his hands before.
Now that Chen Hai could only control flames within a limited range of twenty to thirty meters, he didn’t know how far this man’s Ninjutsu could take him.
Taking that into account, Chen Hai naturally felt that the closer he was to Hirano Keiji when he made his move, the better.
As for these ninjas, who had instructed them to come after him?
Without a second thought, Chen Hai could confirm it must be related to Murakami Taro!
In his memory, he had never had dealings with anyone from Japan except for Murakami Taro, who held a grudge against him because of Ono Sari’s death!
He wasn’t a Law Enforcement Officer.
As long as he was sure it was Murakami Taro causing trouble behind the scenes, he didn’t need any evidence or witnesses.
“No, Chen Hai, mercy to the merciful.
I’ll tell you anything you want to know!”
“Control over fire?
That’s the power of deities.
How could an existence like you stay in this mundane world…”
Hirano Keiji, enveloped in flames, had already turned pale with fear.
Seemingly speaking incoherently, he bellowed repeatedly.
He even used his Ninjutsu to flicker within the flames, trying to break free from the sea of fire.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
After all, aside from enveloping Hirano Keiji in flames, Chen Hai had put forth all his efforts to turn the surrounding twenty to thirty meters into a sea of fire.
Hirano Keiji’s Ninja Techniques could at best allow him to escape ten or eight meters.
Wherever he fled to, Chen Hai followed, and the sea of fire swept over there simultaneously!
“You consider controlling fire makes someone a deity in your Japan?”
“If the deities there are really as weak as this, maybe I should pay a visit someday.”
“Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to slay a god for fun!”
With increasing scorn on his face, Chen Hai completely dismissed Hirano Keiji’s nonsensical ramblings.
Ever since he devoured Ono Sari’s Shikigami, he had been guessing that the so-called deities of Japan were probably demons.
In his eyes, demons were akin to supplements.
For him to regard these purported demon deities highly would truly be strange!
Compared to Uchida-kun, Hirano Keiji lasted a little longer in the sea of fire.
But after just three to five minutes, he too began to grow silent and was completely submerged by the flames.
