Chapter 249: Twin-Fork Asura
"Crackle "
Pale blue lightning flickered, arcs of electricity dancing in the air. Beneath the jumping sparks, Ghost Wuxie's expression still carried a trace of hesitation. Frowning, he demanded, "Brat, who exactly are you?"
A three-year-old jonin unheard of!
No, wait… there had once been a peerless genius from Konoha named Li Jiexuan. But that guy had supposedly died in Sunagakure…
"Does it matter who I am?" Li Jiexuan sneered, curling his lip. "Or what are you, the mighty Ghost Wuxie, afraid of a three-year-old child like me?"
A taunt…
Old-fashioned, but he had no choice but to fall for it!
Because nearly a hundred subordinates were watching him right now. If he backed down here if the great Ghost Wuxie showed fear toward a three-year-old child
How would he ever command respect again once word got out?
"You reckless little brat!" Ghost Wuxie gritted his teeth, smashing his twin forks together and sending out two eerie sparks. "Since you're so eager to die, don't blame me!"
"Die!"
The ghost fork stabbed forward. Li Jiexuan lightly swung the Kusanagi Sword, easily parrying the first strike. Lifting his head, he saw a flicker of shock flash through Ghost Wuxie's eyes.
How was this possible? Just moments ago, he had barely managed to block that attack.
But there was no time to think. Clenching his teeth, Ghost Wuxie repeated the same tactic one fork leading, the other following. The first was only a feint; the second was the true killing strike!
"Clang!"
The Flying Thunder God kunai collided fiercely with the ghost fork. Sparks flew as immense forces surged through the blades, clashing head-on.
Evenly matched!
Neither side could overpower the other. Neither could force the other back…
"How is this possible?"
Ghost Wuxie's murky eyes were filled with disbelief. In such a short time, his opponent's strength had already risen to match his own!
What was even more terrifying was the faint lightning traveling along the blade toward his body. In just that brief moment, nearly half his arm had already gone numb…
If this stalemate continued, he would lose!
Realizing this, Ghost Wuxie decisively pulled back his forks and retreated into his formation.
Seeing this, the samurai and ninja within the formation widened their eyes in disbelief.
"How is that possible? Lord Wuxie actually retreated!"
"No impossible. Lord Wuxie must just be unwilling to hurt the child."
"Hah, since when was Lord Wuxie such a kind-hearted ninja?"
Discordant voices began to rise within the ranks doubt, defense, ridicule…
"What's wrong? That's all you've got?"
Li Jiexuan looked at Ghost Wuxie with eager anticipation. This was his first battle after leaving the trial world a clear test of his own strength.
Mission Triggered: Trial of Verification.
Mission Content: A ninja with power is not truly strong. Only a ninja who clearly understands the extent of their own power has the qualification to become strong.
Dissect yourself. Understand yourself!
Mission Reward: One Advanced Treasure Chest, Ghost Wuxie Character Scroll.
As expected of the system even a passing thought could trigger a task. But in that case, Ghost Wuxie would be the one to suffer…
This battle would have to drag on a little longer!
"Ghost Wuxie, I've only used a tiny bit of my strength, and you're already struggling?" Li Jiexuan sneered disdainfully. "Looks like the name 'old manure fork' really suits you!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Ghost Wuxie roared hysterically, wildly swinging his twin forks as surging chakra erupted from his body.
"Ninjutsu–Taijutsu: Twin-Fork Asura!"
