ACSP: Chapter 79: The Only Way Out!
"Everyone be careful, someone is behind us..."
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Passing Fang!"
Although Yuan Danqing's vision was stripped away, with his keen sense of smell, he still found the position of the attacker in an instant.
Without a word, he immediately used [Passing Fang] to charge fiercely at the opponent.
However, in the next second...
Something bizarre happened.
That person's scent actually appeared in another position in the blink of an eye.
The speed was so fast it was as if they were teleporting.
"How is that possible?"
Yuan Danqing hurriedly changed direction, wanting to charge at that person again.
But at that moment...
A sudden, intense sound of clashing metal rang out.
Immediately after...
He actually smelled Jiang Chen's scent mixing with that person's scent.
"Clang clang clang..."
The sound of clashing metal began to become increasingly intense.
Although the others couldn't see anything in the darkness...
They knew very well in their hearts that Jiang Chen must be fighting that person right now, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Yuan Danqing clenched his fists, wanting to go up and help.
But the movement speed of Jiang Chen and that person was too fast.
It left him with no way to intervene.
Just then...
The sound of clashing metal suddenly vanished.
Before everyone could understand what had happened, they saw the surrounding darkness begin to recede quickly like a piece of silk fabric.
Their vision finally returned.
At this time, a man clad in a black robe with white hair had stood opposite them at some point.
"To be able to accurately lock onto my position under my Darkness Technique... kid, your Perception Technique is quite impressive."
The white-haired man looked at Jiang Chen with great interest, a hint of surprise in his words.
His [Darkness Technique] could strip others of their vision and leave them with nowhere to hide within the dark barrier.
Combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique...
Even those Contractors who specialized in Perception Techniques could not avoid his instant kill.
He had thought killing these few people would be as easy as turning over his hand.
He hadn't expected this kid in front of him to be able to see him, launching fierce attacks at him in the darkness.
And every strike was incredibly precise, each one lethal.
Even if he used the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to teleport to another position...
The opponent could rush over immediately.
This made him instantly realize a problem.
This young man in front of him was definitely not simple.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Ronan from the Evil God Organization, the one who contracted the Second Hokage, right?"
Jiang Chen stared at the white-haired man with a solemn expression and said.
As soon as these words were spoken...
Li Yanran and the others were instantly broken into a cold sweat.
People from the Evil God Organization had actually arrived?
Didn't those people from the Thunder God Temple say they would only come to Jinghai City next week to avenge Chen Chuxi?
Why was it moved up by so many days?
The corner of Ronan's mouth curled up, and he said with a half-smile, "That's right, I'm Ronan. And you, what's your name? Seeing your moves just now, you shouldn't be some nameless nobody."
"Jiang Chen!"
"What? You're Jiang Chen?"
Ronan was clearly stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected that the person Chen Chuxi had specifically ordered to be killed was actually this kid in front of him.
That's not right.
If this kid is that Jiang Chen...
Then isn't his level at most only twenty or thirty?
How could a person at level twenty or thirty be this powerful?
"Ronan, have you played enough? They're just a few brats, why haven't you killed them yet?"
At that moment, a red-haired man suddenly flew over, stepping on a mass of gold dust.
Ronan looked up at him and then said with a smile, "Guess who I ran into?"
Jiang Sha's brow furrowed. "Who?"
Ronan pointed at Jiang Chen. "This kid is the guy Chen Chuxi specifically named to be killed. How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?"
Hearing this, Jiang Sha's gaze also instantly fell on Jiang Chen. "Interesting. It seems our luck is pretty good. As long as we kill him, our mission for this trip can be completed ahead of schedule!"
As he spoke, a golden wave that blotted out the sun had already surged behind him.
Yuan Danqing's face looked grim as he warned, "Jiang Chen, there are three more people in this forest, and they're rushing toward us right now. Why don't you run first? If it's just you alone, you should be able to escape..."
"If I were going to run, I would have run already. The people from the Evil God Organization moved early; I'm afraid the members of the Thunder God Temple who left earlier are already in grave danger."
As Jiang Chen spoke, he quietly pulled several smoke bombs from his robes. "Most of the people from Puppet City are in Kang City; distant water can't quench a nearby thirst. It's no longer important whether we can escape now, because Jinghai City is already in a dead-end situation..."
Before he could finish, those smoke bombs were slammed onto the ground.
—Bang!
Thick black smoke instantly submerged Jiang Chen and the others.
However, seeing this, a look of disdain appeared in Ronan's eyes.
"My Perception Technique can sense things dozens of miles away. Trying to use smoke bombs to escape..."
—Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
—Boom!
—Boom!
—Boom!
Before Ronan could finish his sentence, he saw several blazing fireballs suddenly burst out of the smoke, smashing directly toward him.
"Was the smoke bomb just a distraction? Is this all you've got?"
Ronan tilted his head and easily dodged those fireballs.
But in the next second...
One of the fireballs that had streaked past his ear suddenly transformed, turning into Jiang Chen's form amidst a puff of white smoke.
In a flash.
A massive blade wreathed in lightning slashed out horizontally, aiming straight for Ronan's neck.
At the critical moment.
Ronan gripped his Kunai in a reverse hold and slashed upward with all his strength.
—Clang!
The Kunai and the Kubikiribōchō collided violently, sending out dazzling sparks.
"A feint? This move is useless against me..."
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Ronan was about to laugh out loud, but suddenly, he heard a familiar sound.
Glancing sideways.
He saw that the back of the Jiang Chen in front of him was actually covered in explosive tags!
"Damn it, is it a Shadow Clone trap?"
Ronan didn't hesitate, decisively using the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the spot.
However, the second after he left.
The Jiang Chen with explosive tags on his back gave a slight smirk and fled the area at his fastest speed.
And those burning explosive tags on his body also revealed their true forms as he retreated, turning into Li Yanran and the others.
"That idiot..."
Jiang Sha noticed that Ronan had been played and immediately controlled his gold dust to pursue Jiang Chen and the others.
One side chased while the other fled, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the forest.
And after everyone had left.
As the black smoke from the smoke bombs gradually dissipated.
The figures of Jiang Chen, Li Yanran, and the others actually appeared there again.
"Jiang Chen, your tactics just now were so awesome. You actually fooled both of those Evil God Organization guys."
"Yeah, I was already prepared to die just now. I didn't expect to actually survive!"
Li Yanran and the others looked at Jiang Chen with faces full of admiration, their eyes brimming with excitement.
However, Jiang Chen did not relax his vigilance because of this.
Ronan's Perception Technique was inherited from Senju Tobirama.
The opponent could easily sense things within a radius of dozens of miles.
He would likely catch up before long.
There were still other members of the Evil God Organization in the forest.
It would definitely be impossible for them to return to Jinghai City smoothly.
The only way to survive now was probably that secret realm.
