"Oh, so youâre just a dog raised by the Ruyang King!"
"No, itâs âa dogâ. You used the wrong measure word."
Originally, Third Miss Hua wanted to provoke Lan, but unexpectedly, Lan chuckled and said to Third Miss Hua, "Are you curious why Iâm not angry? Actually, I donât understand why you Chinese are so fragile, weak yourselves, yet insist on fighting strong powers. Why not surrender?"
"Surrender to the strong power, and then when you have power, overthrow the strong power. Isnât that a good method?"
After hearing Lanâs words, Third Miss Hua thought of an animalâa wolf. Once a wolf is subdued, it becomes a dog to help the owner bite people. But if the owner becomes weak, itâll turn around and bite the owner. Such a creature betrays its master!
At this moment, Lan stared at Third Miss Hua and said, "Alright, do you know why Iâm telling you so much?"
Third Miss Hua asked, "Why?"
"Because soon youâll become the most useful weapon in my hand, hehe..."
As Lan said this, she suddenly waved her hand in front of Third Miss Huaâs eyes. In an instant, her fingers appeared like blooming flowers, giving off a hypnotic feeling. Third Miss Hua shook her head, feeling it grow heavy and sluggish.
Moments later, her eyes filled with confusion. At that moment, Lan said, "Stand up."
Third Miss Hua stood up blindly, and Lan smiled. This was the enchanting spell the Iga ninja were proud of. Though it was only effective for cultivators below the Holding Core Realm, it often had miraculous effects.
And Third Miss Hua was a crucial part of her upcoming plan.
Having completed this task, her eyes turned toward the direction of the military camp, where Chen Jie and Ni Wenjunâs battle had reached a fever pitch.
At this moment, Chen Jie and Ni Wenjun exchanged punches, their bodies colliding fiercely.
Chen Jie said, "Brother Ni, thatâs enough. Soon Iâll pretend to lose, and you pretend to tear off my right arm. Then Iâll escape, tracking the enemyâs whereabouts from the shadows. Weâll investigate from both angles, and thus accurately locate the enemyâs position and rescue Sister-in-law Hua."
Ni Wenjun replied, "Okay."
With a shout, Chen Jie cried, "Spring Godâs Fury, Summer Godâs anger!"
Instantly, Chen Jie summoned two divine figures, though merely for show, thatâs the portion of his power he chose to reveal. Back during the Treasure Book Glory Conference at Ruyang Royal Mansion, many saw Chen Jieâs strength, so he had to rely on these appearances.
Otherwise, it would be hard for the enemy to believe. Clearly, he still had moves to use, yet was severely injuredâthat wouldnât make sense!
Thinking this, Chen Jie activated the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, but only for appearances, as mere bluff strength. He then roared fiercely, "Ni Wenjun, Iâll go all out against you!"
With a shout, Chen Jie charged at Ni Wenjun, while Ni Wenjun shouted "Seven-story Building," and the two collided fiercely, followed by a massive explosion.
The next moment, Chen Jiusi screamed wretchedly, "Ah~ my arm!"
Meanwhile, Jin Yanzi found a severed arm nearby, amidst the battlefieldâs carnage. Corpses were everywhere, and it was easy to find one to chop off, while Chen Jie and Ni Wenjun deliberately stirred up a cloud of dust.
Once the dust settled, Chen Jie screamed in anguish and shouted, "Ni Wenjun, just wait for me!"
Standing amid the dust, Ni Wenjun raised a severed arm high and shouted, "I did it, where is Third Lady?"
Upon hearing Ni Wenjun shout and seeing the direction where Chen Jiusi had vanished, along with the severed arm in Ni Wenjunâs grasp.
The Japanese Iga Ninja Lan frowned and said, "How could Chen Jiusi have escaped...?"
Saying that, she furrowed her brow and turned to the messenger ready nearby: "Go and deliver the next letter to Ni Wenjun."
With that, the messenger quickly ran down the mountain.
