Who is the real enemy?
But now, Kirito thought that he should know the answer.
"Whoosh!"
Without any warning, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
For an assassin, the timing and choice of the assassin's appearance were excellent. Unfortunately, the assassin had encountered a target who knew the assassin's movements better than he did. Furthermore, the assassin was constantly on high alert. The moment he appeared, he was walking right into a trap. It was as if he was walking straight into a gun barrel.
Kirito didn't turn around to attack. Instead, he stood in place, grabbed White Snow Sleeve, and stabbed it into the ground. Freezing air poured into the ground through the tip of the sword.
"Shu Bai!"
"Huh?!"
The assassin's sword was less than a centimeter away from Kirito's neck, and he couldn't move even half a step forward.
"This is …" The other party was extremely shocked. The lower half of his body was numb and he immediately looked down subconsciously. Only then did he realize that at some point in time, the extremely cold air that had gushed out from the ground had frozen the movement of his legs. Moreover, the frost had spread to his entire lower body.
His whole body was like a frozen tree.
Kirito slowly turned around, and saw that the assassin was one of Danzo's best subordinates, Aburame Takeuchi!
His eyes narrowed. "Just as I thought."
"Hmph ~" Oily Lady, whose movements were frozen, tried to struggle. However, it was not that easy to break free from Shu Bai's restraints.
Kirito didn't ask her anything, and there was no need to. He immediately raised his sword and chopped at her head.
The sharp blade chopped off her head, but there wasn't blood and flesh flying everywhere. Instead, Aburame Takeuchi's body turned into a buzzing pile of insects.
"Insect clone …" The insects seemed to want to attack Kirito, but they didn't see any movement from Kirito, but as soon as they came within one step of Kirito, they were immediately frozen to death by the extreme cold.
Kirito immediately turned his head to look at Aburame, who was standing not far away. "One of them is a feint, and the other one is hiding somewhere, right?
I remember that one is from the Yamanaka clan, so he must be waiting for the right time to use the Heart Switch Jutsu on me? "
"You …" Kirito not only knew their identity, but also their tactics. Aburame Takeuchi was quite shocked, "How do you know this …"
"Now, the one who should answer the question is you."
Kirito's figure flashed and appeared in front of Aburame Takeuchi. He raised his sword and slashed at her.
Facing such a fierce attack from Kirito, Aburame Takeuchi didn't dare to take it head-on. Her figure also retreated sharply. Under Kirito's slash, a huge sword mark appeared on the ground where she was just standing, and there was a burst of cold white gas on the mark left by the sword mark.
Seeing this, Aburame Takeuchi's pupils shrank slightly, and then she looked at Kirito with extreme fear, "What's wrong with this guy?
It's only been a few days, how did his strength increase so much! "
His figure flashed quickly, and the trajectory of his movement was also in a roundabout S shape. Kirito clearly knew that there was a Yamanaka lying in ambush nearby, so he wouldn't give the other party a chance to lock onto his position.
"Damn it!"
Sure enough, with a low curse, Shan Feng also jumped out from the shadows. Although the Yamanaka Clan's Heart Transfer Technique could invade the target's mind and achieve the effect of strong control, this technique also had a flaw, which was that it needed time to prepare and had to lock onto the target's position. If the projected mind didn't land on the target's body, then the mind wouldn't be able to return to the body for a short period of time, resulting in a state of zero defense to the body.
In actual combat, if there was no companion to cooperate with, this technique couldn't be used.
"Clang!"
Shan Feng also pulled out the ninja blade on his back and faced Kirito head-on. As if to make up for the limitations of the Heart Transfer Technique in actual combat, Shan Feng had also cultivated a very strong blade technique, and his combat strength was not inferior to Aburame Takeuchi's. However, this level of combat strength was still somewhat powerless against Kirito.
When the sword and the blade collided, a layer of frost formed on Shan Fengfeng's exquisite ninja sword. The originally light ninja sword became heavy, and the blade was covered by a layer of ice, losing its sharpness.
Aburame Takeuchi and Shan Feng joined forces to fight against Kirito, but the two of them still couldn't change the situation. If this continued, the two of them would be killed under Kirito's blade in less than ten rounds.
"Takeuchi, please help me buy time!" Gritting his teeth, Shan Feng immediately withdrew from the battle with Kirito.
Kirito looked at the two of them with a slightly surprised look. He had the absolute advantage in this battle, and the two of them were barely able to contend with him for a while. Now that Shan Feng had withdrawn from the battle, Kirito conservatively estimated that he would be able to kill Aburame Takeuchi on the spot in less than five rounds.
"Huh?!"
Kirito's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw that Shan Feng, who was retreating, made a special hand seal with both of his hands, and then the target of his hands was not him, but Asuka who was lying not far away.
"Courting death!"
Kirito's face suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he immediately understood the other party's intention. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Aburame Takeuchi crazily attacked him.
"I won't let you pass!"
Aburame Takeuchi was an important subordinate of Danzo, and his strength was also one of the best among the Jonin level. Even Kirito couldn't deal with him in a short time.
"Puff ~" The sharp blade pierced through Aburame Takeuchi's right chest, and the extremely cold air immediately poured into his body through the wound. For a moment, his blood and internal organs were seriously frostbitten.
Aburame Takeuchi's face suddenly became gloomy, but even so, he still used his remaining strength to tightly grab the blade that pierced through his body.
He was brainwashed since he was a child, and he didn't value his own life at all.
Everything was based on the task given by Danzo!
"You …" Kirito also didn't expect that the other party would actually sacrifice his own life in order to protect his companions.
"That's it, stop it, Kirito Hyuga!"
A familiar female voice was heard, and Asuka, who was originally unconscious, slowly stood up, but on the other side, there was Shan Feng, who had fallen unconscious.
"Did the Heart Switch Technique succeed …" Kirito's eyes narrowed slightly, and then, he didn't panic as he imagined, and still remained calm and collected, "The hostage has succeeded, so, what are you going to do next?"
