Though a battle was imminent, unlike the Hengjiang and Qiushan families, the guards from the Kawashima family appeared remarkably composed.
It wasn’t exactly composure, but rather that they had received orders before setting out.
The Kawashima family patriarch, Kawashima Yosuke, had instructed that once they reached the ancestral land, everyone was to follow Xu Fei’s commands and arrangements.
Thus, Xu Fei’s lack of action at this moment kept the others from acting rashly.
“Shouldn’t we… do something?” the team leader finally couldn’t help but ask, as both the Hengjiang and Qiushan family teams had already formed offensive formations.
If a fight broke out, the Kawashima family would surely be at a disadvantage.
Xu Fei shook his head slightly and said, “No need. Just watch. It’s time for my performance!”
Having just completed the setup of all his arrays, Xu Fei was itching to test them.
Killing Hengjiang Ye with just an array wasn’t satisfying enough for him.
“Bold kid, you think you can take on all of us alone? Get ready for the Kawashima family to collect your body!”
The Hengjiang and Qiushan families clearly sensed something amiss, as Xu Fei now stood alone at the forefront of the Kawashima guards.
To them, this was an immense insult, and their goal became clear: Xu Fei must die today!
“What are you waiting for? Attack!”
These guards didn’t seem to be ninjas, but their movements showed familiarity with ninja techniques.
Initially, they didn’t take Xu Fei seriously, despite the oddity of Hengjiang Ye’s death.
They didn’t connect Hengjiang Ye’s demise to Xu Fei, instead attributing it to the ancient gods of the ancestral land.
Believing Hengjiang Ye’s sudden death was due to disturbing the ancient gods, they hesitated to use powerful techniques at first.
A few of them launched attacks with their weapons, already seeing Xu Fei as a corpse.
Xu Fei, watching them rely on weapons for close combat, found it somewhat dull.
With a casual wave of his hand, the trees and plants on the ground began to grow wildly, instantly trapping the attackers.
“Huh? Isn’t that a Wood Release technique? This guy knows Wood Release!”
The Kawashima family was known for Wind Release, so Xu Fei’s use of Wood Release caught everyone off guard.
Wood Release was a signature technique of the Qiushan family, making their guard captain’s expression particularly grim.
Xu Fei smiled faintly at their speculations. With the universal array under his control, he didn’t need to worry about specific release techniques.
The Wood Release he just used was something he mimicked from a past assassination attempt, enhanced with added power.
“Be careful, we can’t keep throwing lives away!”
The remaining guards were sharp enough to realise they couldn’t continue close combat with Xu Fei.
“Let’s go! Pull back from this area for now, head over there!”
Fearing further provocation of the ancient gods and potential punishment, the guard captains immediately retreated, moving away from the altar.
Xu Fei noted the distance, murmuring to himself.
