Irene and Michelle exchanged glances, both quietly muttering to themselves: “Who would have thought Leo is so formidable, even overpowering the Fire Above Shinobi from Eastern Island.”
In Sakai Kina’s world, there was no concept of surrender. She was now unleashing her ultimate move.
Sakai Kina’s black pupils showed a hint of fiery red. Subsequently, her hands moved rapidly, forming an extremely complex hand seal.
“Ninjutsu, Dance of the Firestorm!”
With Sakai Kina’s clear shout, a raging fire appeared above her head. The flames danced and swirled incessantly, generating powerful heat waves.
“Is this… the ultimate ninjutsu!?” Maniwa Koken’s face displayed surprise. Sakai Kina was deploying her most powerful move, indicating that she was ready to go all out.
Maniwa Koken knew well that if Leo couldn’t withstand Sakai Kina’s lethal strike, the only outcome would be death.
The raging fire above Sakai Kina’s head multiplied from one to twelve. The twelve flames combined, creating a subtle formation resembling an array.
Watching the twelve flames above Sakai Kina’s head, Leo smirked, “All show, no substance.”
Sakai Kina gazed at Leo arrogantly, saying, “Enjoy the ultimate ninjutsu of Great Eastern Island!”
Sakai Kina’s hands formed intricate seals, pointing at Leo.
The twelve flames, like living entities, suddenly erupted, carrying an extremely fierce heatwave as they plummeted from the sky towards Leo.
“Just fancy tricks!” Leo chuckled, right hand forming a seal.
Suddenly, above Leo, hundreds of ice blades appeared, constructing a massive net of razor-sharp blades. In the sunlight, it reflected an awe-inspiring glacial light.
“Break!” Leo lightly commanded.
The ice blade net, from bottom to top, flickered with a chilling light as it advanced against the twelve flames covering the sky.
In the next instant, a series of explosions occurred as the ice blade net entangled the twelve flames. It tightened, making the formidable flames seemingly vanish within the ice net.
This scene left Sakai Kina and Maniwa Koken with shocked expressions on their faces.
The overwhelmingly powerful ultimate ninjutsu was unexpectedly easily unraveled. It was simply unbelievable.
After eliminating the flames, only half of the ice blades were consumed. The remaining half, accompanied by a daunting glacial light, descended towards the horrified Sakai Kina on the ground.
Naturally, Sakai Kina wasn’t about to sit idly. She tapped the ground with both feet, soaring backward. Her graceful figure resembled a falling leaf.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The overwhelming ice blades, like arrows, showered down in a large area.
Eastern Island ninjas excelled in assassination, so their speed, whether advancing or evading, was exceptionally swift.
Sakai Kina managed to dodge most of the ice blades due to her rapid movements. However, because of the sheer quantity of blades, some managed to slip through. One of the ice blades cut across her right shoulder, leaving a deep bloodstain. Blood instantly overflowed, staining her entire right shoulder red.
After landing, Sakai Kina, holding her right shoulder with her left hand, displayed a pained expression. Blood oozed from between her left fingers, dripping onto the ground.
Seizing the opportunity while she’s vulnerable, Leo, when it comes to Japanese women, doesn’t have the sentimentality to spare a fragile flower. His figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Sakai Kina, Purple Radiance already in his right hand, ready to end Sakai Kina’s life.
Maniwa Koken urgently shouted, “Leo, please stop!”
Leo halted his right hand, which was about to strike.
“Leo, please show mercy. I apologize to you. Spare her life,” Maniwa Koken, with a face full of remorse, spoke in a gentle and sincere tone.
“I suppose you’re Maniwa Koken of the Koken family in Japan, the granddaughter of the super-rich Mr. Koken!”
“As far as I know, the Koken family not only holds immense power in the Japanese business world but also wields significant influence in politics. They can even affect the appointments of cabinet members.”
The surrounding discussions made Maniwa Koken’s eyes reveal a hint of pride.
Sakai Kina coughed twice, a little blood appearing again at the corner of her mouth. She covered her shoulder and stood up from the ground, casting a cold and gloomy gaze at Leo.
To prevent things from getting out of hand, Irene approached, glanced at Maniwa Koken, and then whispered to Leo, “Leo, Maniwa Koken holds a high position in the Koken family. Let’s just let it go.”
Although Irene had no fondness for the Japanese, she was well aware of the background and power of the Koken family. If Leo developed a mortal grudge with Maniwa Koken, it would undoubtedly lead to significant trouble in the future.
Leo wasn’t a reckless person. If he could avoid trouble, it was certainly for the better. He then retracted Purple Radiance.
“Thank you, Leo, thank you, Miss Irene,” Maniwa Koken said, relieved, bowing slightly to Leo and Irene.
In Maniwa Koken’s perception, the Chinese were all face-saving individuals. As long as you gave them enough face, things would be much easier to handle.
After expressing her gratitude, Maniwa Koken intended to leave with Sakai Kina.
However, just as Maniwa Koken and Sakai Kina took a few steps, a cold voice sounded from behind, “Did I say you could leave?”
“Leo, do you have any other business?” Maniwa Koken turned slowly, looking at Leo with a questioning gaze.
Though Maniwa Koken’s eyes seemed calm, the underlying arrogance couldn’t be concealed. She wondered if Leo was seeking some benefits. In her impression, the Chinese were often greedy.
Leo nodded indifferently, “Indeed, there is one more thing.”
Leo walked up to Maniwa Koken.
“Smack!”
To everyone’s surprise, Leo raised his hand and slapped Maniwa Koken across the face.
Five bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on Maniwa Koken’s pretty face.
This scene not only astonished the twin sisters but also caused a commotion among the onlookers.
Maniwa Koken was left dumbfounded, staring at Leo with an expression of disbelief.
No one would have expected that Leo would dare to hit, let alone hit Maniwa Koken.
It’s worth noting that the Koken family’s might and their global influence are such that even the top Chinese families wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily.
“He’s a true alpha male, daring to strike such a beautiful woman.”
“Perhaps he believes in his identity as a martial artist. But even for a martial artist, facing the fury and retaliation of the Koken family, he might end up in big trouble.”
“First, he offended the Lynch family in the capital, and now he’s crossed paths with the Koken family in Japan. Tsk tsk, he’s practically courting disaster.”
