“Hmm? Why does my back feel a bit itchy?”
Xu Fei deliberately reached back to scratch, his manner utterly brazen.
A battle-hardened warrior like Xu Fei would never leave such an opening for enemies to exploit; it was simply impossible.
Since absorbing the power of yin and yang, whenever he faced an enemy worth taking seriously, Xu Fei would secretly envelop himself in a layer of yin energy. To outsiders, nothing seemed different.
In reality, Xu Fei was at his peak defensive state, impervious to any stray attacks.
Despite the ninjas’ silent, stoic faces, they were no ordinary men—they were trained from common folk. To say they weren’t the least bit angry would be a lie. If ordinary ninjas had such mental fortitude, wouldn’t the stronger ones be unshakable, even if Mount Tai collapsed before them?
“Damn it! This guy’s still holding back!”
Like Xu Fei, these men were here on a mission.
Their task, unlike his, was to prevent Xu Fei’s return.
This time, their numbers had tripled compared to before, giving them strong confidence.
Who could’ve predicted such an outcome at their first clash?
“Don’t rush! Attack together, he can’t hold us off!”
The ninjas hadn’t lost all confidence. They saw this as a mere test of strength, and the outcome was far from certain.
“Understood!”
After exchanging coded words and glances, they all moved in unison, unleashing the same ninjutsu as before.
“Fire Release: Earth Flame Mad Python!”
Ten of them slammed their hands to the ground, and instantly, ten thicker, longer fire serpents appeared.
The moment they emerged, they charged straight at Xu Fei, not even bothering to seek out attack angles.
“You lot seem awfully cocky. You don’t think this will be enough to take me down, do you?”
Feeling underestimated, Xu Fei showed no mercy. Empowered by yin and yang, he flicked ten silver needles with a casual toss.
These ten needles seemed simple but were immensely powerful.
Not only were they enhanced by yin and yang energy, but they also carried the might of the Heavenly Path Divine Needle.
Under the triple empowerment, even tiny needles unleashed unimaginable force.
The ten fire pythons, on which the ninjas pinned their hopes, were already targeted by Xu Fei as they slithered forward.
“Strike a snake at its seventh inch—take this!”
Xu Fei controlled the needles, aiming to pin the fire pythons to the ground before they could reach him, ensuring his safety.
But these ninjas weren’t pushovers. They had secretly adjusted their strategy.
After Xu Fei launched his ten needles, the ten pythons on the ground began devouring each other in moments, merging into a single, colossal super-python.
By rough estimate, it was as thick as a nearby pillar—too wide for several people to encircle—and its length was impossible to gauge by sight.
“Interesting. Looks like these guys aren’t just lambs to the slaughter!”
