“Too brutal! That kick probably smashed that little guy’s balls, right?”
“These guys are just asking for trouble; they lose and won’t admit it.”
“Good hit! I’m already turning black, who cares about Hiroto Ieshige!”
The surrounding crowd expressed themselves with sarcasm and mockery.
Maniwa Koken’s face darkened, a trace of anger flashing in her beautiful eyes. Although Hiroto Ieshige lost the race, he was still someone Maniwa Koken had invited; she couldn’t let him be casually attacked.
“Saka, teach this despicable man a lesson!” Maniwa Koken instructed her female bodyguard standing behind her.
“Yes, Miss Koken!” Sakai Kina nodded with a murderous look in her eyes, focusing on Leo.
In the next moment, Sakai Kina’s figure flashed, appearing with incredible speed in front of Leo. At the same time, a ninja-style shuriken appeared in her hand, slashing towards Leo’s chest as she swung her right hand.
Seeing the shuriken in Sakai Kina’s hand, Irene exclaimed, “Leo, be careful! This woman is an Eastern Island ninja!”
Leo was familiar with Eastern Island ninjas. His expression remained unchanged as he took two steps back, simultaneously flicking his right hand to unleash a sharp qi blade.
The qi blade preceded the shuriken, shooting fiercely towards Sakai Kina’s neck.
Sakai Kina’s face changed, stopping her attack and executing two consecutive backflips, narrowly avoiding Leo’s qi blade.
The qi blade whizzed past Sakai Kina’s ear, hitting the engine hood of Sielbei Supercar. A metallic clang echoed, and a gash appeared on the engine hood. Following that, a muffled bang, and black smoke emerged from the gash.
This scene elicited gasps from the onlookers. If this invisible attack had landed on a person, without a doubt, they would have been cut in half.
“This is the skill of a cultivator. This guy is definitely a cultivator!”
“I’ve heard of cultivators; no wonder his driving skills are out of this world. He’s actually a cultivator!”
“So scary, people are truly not what they seem…”
After the surprise, the people discussing Leo now looked at him with a hint of fear in their eyes. Those who could watch this race were mostly the offspring of the capital’s wealthy families, so they were familiar with cultivators. Many top families had connections to martial arts sects, and if someone in a top family possessed martial talent, they might be recruited as disciples by martial arts sects.
Maniwa Koken’s delicate eyebrows twitched slightly. She hadn’t expected this young man named Leo to be a cultivator.
Sakai Kina, after dodging the qi blade, glanced at the engine hood, a cold light flashing in her eyes. She reached into her body again, taking out several more ninja shurikens.
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”
Sakai Kina swung both hands, and a total of six ninja shurikens shot towards Leo from different directions.
“Golden Light Shield, guard!” Leo sneered. Without moving, a faint golden light shield appeared in front of him.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
The six ninja shurikens struck the light shield, creating ripples. The part of the light shield hit by the attack slightly concaved, but the shurikens couldn’t break through. After the force dissipated, they fell to the ground.
Sakai Kina’s face changed again. She began forming hand seals with both hands.
Leo noticed that Sakai Kina’s hand seals differed from the martial techniques of cultivators; they seemed more inclined towards the postures of Taoist arts.
“Ninjutsu, Fireball Technique!” Sakai Kina placed her hands near her mouth and shouted.
Suddenly, a fiery red flame spewed out of her mouth, forming a large fireball that surged towards Leo.
“Whoa, isn’t this a ninja technique from Naruto?!”
“I didn’t expect real ninja techniques to exist; today is truly an eye-opener.”
“I reckon the strength of Eastern Island ninjas is probably not weaker than our cultivators.”
The crowd once again discussed animatedly, especially after witnessing Sakai Kina’s ninja technique, releasing a fireball, which led to more astonished exclamations.
Watching the approaching fireball, Leo raised an eyebrow slightly. The rumor was that Eastern Island’s ninjutsu descended from the Yin-Yang family’s elemental arts.
“Child’s play!” Leo sneered. This intricate hand seal technique of Eastern Island people was nothing more than a surface-level understanding of the Yin-Yang Masters. In the eyes of Leo, a cultivator, it was insufficient.
“Fire Dragon Technique.” Leo pinched his fingertips, and Spiritual Power surged from within him.
A winding and swaying fire dragon took form in the half-space in front of Leo. Red flames covered the entire body of the fire dragon, making the air scorching hot.
The might of the fire dragon far surpassed Sakai Kina’s large fireball. From a distance, it looked like a dragon playing with a fireball.
“Go!” Leo pointed, and the fire dragon roared as it shot out.
“Boom!”
The crimson fire dragon directly collided with the fireball in a domineering manner, turning it into embers that floated down. After that, it descended towards Sakai Kina.
“Could this be… genuine elemental arts?” Sakai Kina’s face changed dramatically.
Without much time to think, Sakai Kina’s handprints rapidly changed, a bit dazzling and confusing.
“Fire Shield Technique!” Sakai Kina shouted, completing the hand seals.
In front of her, a massive flame shield formed, converging into existence. On the flame shield, ancient fire demon patterns were visible.
The fire dragon roared down, colliding with the flame shield.
Boom!
Sakai Kina’s body hid behind the flame shield. The impact caused her feet to slide across the ground as she kept retreating.
This process didn’t last long. With a resonant bang, the flame shield directly exploded, and the residual force from the fire dragon fiercely struck Sakai Kina.
Sakai Kina’s body flew backward. However, being a Fire Above Shinobi, her strength was not to be underestimated. Enduring the pain, she performed a 360-degree mid-air flip, stabilizing herself on one knee.
Although Sakai Kina tried to maintain her composure, her raven-black hair had turned slightly yellow under the assault of the fire dragon. There were also traces of blood at the corners of her mouth.
Through their recent exchange, Leo could roughly estimate that this Fire Above Shinobi from Eastern Island had a strength equivalent to a lower-level martial general among cultivators.
Sakai Kina’s defeat shocked Maniwa Koken, who had protected Sakai Kina for nearly a decade. Knowing Sakai Kina’s formidable strength, Maniwa Koken didn’t expect her to be overpowered by this Chinese man.
As Sakai Kina stood up from the ground, she shook her head slightly, looking sadly towards Maniwa Koken. At the same time, her gaze towards Leo gained a few more traces of seriousness, but without fear.
As Fire Above Shinobi, even in defeat, they would never feel fear but rather face death with resolve.
