ACSP: Chapter 73: The fastest man in the Ninja World + Immortal Body, how are you supposed to fight that?
Lei Li had originally wanted to continue the fight since he hadn't been wounded in a vital area, but after hearing Jiang Chen's words, his heart was thrown into turmoil. He hadn't expected that the position of his injury had actually been calculated by his opponent. This instantly extinguished any desire he had to continue the fight.
This kid could even calculate exactly where he would be injured—how are you supposed to fight that?
"You win..." Lei Li sighed heavily, deactivated his [Lightning Armor], and turned to look at Jiang Chen with a tone of lingering reluctance and resignation.
Jiang Chen smiled: "You're not bad either!" He wasn't just offering empty flattery. Honestly, this battle with Lei Li was arguably the most thrilling fight he had faced to date.
His opponent's [Lightning Armor] had impeccable defense, and his [Hell Stab] skill had astonishing destructive power. If it weren't for the fact that he had watched Hokage and knew that attacking the elbow joint could deflect the opponent's [Hell Stab], it would have been hard to say who would have won this fight.
"Holy crap, what just happened? Why was Palace Master Lei Li stabbing himself?"
"What do you mean stabbing himself? He was tricked."
"Exactly. That kid has no martial honor; he attacked Palace Master Lei Li's elbow joint at the critical moment, causing him to accidentally injure himself."
"I never thought Palace Master's Lightning Armor would actually be broken."
"Does that really count as being broken by someone? After all, he stabbed himself with his own Ippon Nukite."
"Actually, I've long wanted to know which was better, Palace Master Lei Li's strongest spear or his strongest shield. Seeing it today, I've finally fulfilled that wish."
"Damn it, what time do you think it is? How can you still be saying things like that?"
Those members of the Thunder God Temple who had been cheering for Lei Li were now all silent. They couldn't have imagined that this battle, which seemed to have already been decided, would end up like this. It was truly unexpected.
On the City Lord's Mansion side: "Did I see that right? Jiang Chen actually won?"
"Damn, Jiang Chen is awesome! He actually defeated a level 94 Kage-level Contractor!"
"Unbelievable. I thought he was done for just a moment ago."
"Jiang Chen's final move was simply brilliant."
"Yeah, I wouldn't have even dared to imagine a fighting style like his before."
The crowd was filled with indignation, their faces beaming with the joy of victory, as if it were not Jiang Chen who had won just now, but they themselves.
Li Yanran stood in the crowd, watching Jiang Chen, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect that in just a few days, the gap between us hasn't narrowed, but has instead grown even wider."
At this moment, Wang Shanshan, Lin Ye, and a few others walked over.
Wang Shanshan gently patted her shoulder, her gaze firm as she said, "Yanran, we plan to grind levels all night to try and catch up with Jiang Chen's pace as soon as possible. Do you want to join us?"
A flash of brilliance crossed Li Yanran's eyes, and she nodded vigorously. "Don't wait for later, let's start today!"
...
Because the matters of the alliance had not yet been finalized.
After returning, Lei Li simply bandaged his wounds and immediately brought his younger brother, Lei Hong, back into the conference hall.
City Lord Li Hongfei took Jiang Chen and followed them inside.
Afterward, the group continued to discuss matters regarding dealing with the Evil God Organization.
During this meeting, Lei Li's attitude toward City Lord Li Hongfei was clearly much better than before, and even his tone was more polite.
This made City Lord Li Hongfei feel a bit flattered.
However, he was very clear in his heart that the reason he was able to gain Lei Li's respect was entirely thanks to Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen hadn't proven himself with his strength, and proven that their Jinghai City also had powerful experts.
He would never be able to sit here and talk properly with the brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong.
After a period of discussion.
Lei Li finally took a step back and shifted the location for ambushing the Evil God Organization from the urban area of Jinghai City to outside the city.
Trying their best to avoid the battle between the two sides from affecting Jinghai City.
As for setting up traps, it was still left to Li Dala to handle.
After all, this kid's clay puppets were the most suitable for setting up traps.
Jiang Chen watched them discuss strategies without expressing any opinion throughout the process.
Because he felt that for dealing with experts like the Evil God Organization, traps and mechanisms were of little practical use.
In the end, it would still depend on top-tier combatants like them to step in and clean up the mess.
"By the way, I was so focused on discussing strategies just now that I almost forgot to bring out the most important intelligence."
At this moment, Lei Li suddenly remembered something and pulled several character portraits from his bosom.
These character portraits were of several Kage-level Contractors within the Evil God Organization with strength exceeding Level 90.
This was intelligence they, the Thunder God Temple, had previously collected over in Kang City.
In fact, he hadn't forgotten about this intelligence earlier.
It was just that he hadn't held the people here in Jinghai City in high regard previously and had no intention of sharing the intelligence he had gathered.
Jiang Chen lowered his head to look at those character portraits.
[Jiang Sha, Level 93, Contracted Character: Fourth Kazekage (Rasa), specializes in controlling metal particles!]
[Ronan, Level 95, Contracted Character: Second Hokage (Senju Tobirama), specializes in Space-Time Ninjutsu, Superhuman Strength, various Forbidden Jutsu, and Water Release, with a massive amount of Chakra!]
[Wang Jiao, Level 92, Contracted Character: Mist Village Rogue Ninja (Kisame), specializes in Water Release, possesses a special weapon that can devour others' Chakra, with a massive amount of Chakra]
[Yang Ke: Level 93, Contracted Character: Second Tsuchikage (Mu), specializes in Bloodline Selection Dust Release, fission, invisibility, and flight.]
[Song She: Level 94, Contracted Character: Konoha Sannin (Orochimaru), specializes in various Forbidden Jutsu, Sealing Techniques, and Summoning Jutsu; his combat style is extremely disgusting.]
"These five people are core members within the Evil God Organization. All of them are above Level 90 and are extremely powerful. In addition, there is their Pope, Qin Hao. Based on the information we currently possess, the character he has contracted should be related to the Immortal Evil God; we don't know anything else."
Lei Li said with a grave expression.
City Lord Li Hongfei looked at the profiles of these Evil God Organization members, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
He hadn't expected that this organization would have so many high-end combatants among its internal members.
"They are all troublesome guys."
Jiang Chen murmured with a frown.
These five people were all renowned figures in the Ninja World.
Especially that Senju Tobirama.
This guy was the originator of Forbidden Jutsu and the fastest man in the early stages of the Ninja World.
Although he didn't know how strong the opponent's Contractor was.
But being able to contract Senju Tobirama, presumably, they wouldn't be too bad.
"By the way, Brother Lei Li, I remember you said last time that there are over a dozen members in the Evil God Organization. Besides these five, what is the strength of the others?"
After taking a deep breath, City Lord Li Hongfei continued to ask Lei Li.
Lei Li smiled shamefully: "We haven't collected information on the others yet; we can only wait until we encounter them."
Lei Hong suddenly interrupted: "The most terrifying thing about these people isn't what skills they specialize in, but that they have all received the Evil God's blessing and possess an Immortal Body!"
