Yonamine’s deep, serious face stared at Leo as his hands moved in a dazzling way, forming over ten handprints.
“Rock and Soil Meteor!”
With the completion of the handprints, Yonamine shouted coldly and stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot.
A wave of energy like an impact spread out from Yonamine’s right foot as its center.
“Boom…”
Muffled sounds came from underground as if an earthquake was about to happen. Over ten rocks buried beneath the soil emerged and floated into the air without any gravitational pull. On the ground, there were over ten craters left behind.
On top of a cliff, Yuriko couldn’t help but speak in an excited tone, “Miss Koken, Mr. Yonamine has made a move!”
“Yonamine is indeed an Earth Ninja. The thing in Leo’s hands is useless against him,” Maniwa witnessed firsthand how Yonamine broke free from the black mist and launched a counterattack.
Looking up at the huge floating rocks above him, Leo’s eyes narrowed.
“Leo, I’ll give you a chance to join the Koken family. Today’s events will be forgotten if you do so; moreover, you can become the Koken family’s son-in-law.”
Leo sneered, “In my eyes, your so-called ‘the Koken family’ isn’t worth mentioning at all. Since you’ve come to Atraria today never leave.”
“Bastard!” yelled Yonamine furiously.
Over ten huge boulders fell towards Leo like meteors with astonishing momentum.
Leo threw the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak in his hand upwards, and under his control, it rapidly expanded in size.
In an instant, a pitch-black small mountain appeared out of nowhere, hovering in the air in front of Leo.
Leo controlled the enlarged Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak with his right hand, smashing the falling giant rocks one by one.
One thunderous boom after another echoed through the clearing, as the massive rocks that fell were shattered by the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak. The flying debris resembled a rain of stones.
After smashing all the falling rocks, Leo levitated the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak and threw it towards Yonamine.
Yonamine’s face turned ugly when he saw Leo’s move. He didn’t dare to directly confront the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak and quickly retreated.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion resounded as the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak heavily crashed to the ground.
A terrifyingly large pit appeared where Yonamine had been standing.
Leo’s figure flashed, and the next second, he appeared on top of the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak. He coldly looked down at Yonamine, who had managed to avoid being hit by the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
Yonamine looked up at Leo, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He quickly made hand seals with his right hand, causing bloody marks to appear on his left palm. These marks formed a mysterious rune.
Yonamine sealed with his right hand while pressing his left hand onto the ground.
A rune identical to the one on Yonamine’s left palm appeared on the ground.
Standing on the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, Leo narrowed his eyes. He could clearly sense a strange energy fluctuation coming from the rune on the ground.
Leo was not unfamiliar with this mysterious rune. He had seen Yuriko use it in the pine forest beneath the Spirit Crocodile Cliff.
It was the rune for summoning a Spirit Beast Ninja!
“Come forth, Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape!” Yonamine shouted in a deep voice.
“Buzz…”
With a loud buzzing sound, the blood-red rune on the ground lit up.
First, a gigantic ape arm stretched out from the rune, followed by its head, body…
In less than ten seconds, a gorilla-like creature as sturdy as a diamond crawled out of the rune.
The most peculiar feature of this massive ape was that it had four legs and its entire body was covered in rock-like armor, rather than fur.
Its massive hands held a rock hammer in the left and a giant axe in the right.
The appearance of the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape made Yonamine’s face turn pale. Clearly, summoning his Spirit Beast Ninja here had consumed a considerable amount of his ninja power.
Yonamine leaped and landed directly on the shoulders of the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape.
Under Yonamine’s control and command, the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape swung the massive hammer with great force, aiming to smash Leo on the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
There was no way Leo would allow the hammer to strike him. He swiftly jumped off the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
“Bang!”
A terrifying explosion occurred as the hammer crashed onto the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak like a falling meteor.
The Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, being a spiritual weapon, remained undamaged and unchanged under the impact.
However, the tremendous force of the strike generated a powerful shockwave, sending Leo, who had just landed on the ground, flying away.
The Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape was also taken aback by the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak’s incredible durability. The strong recoil caused its massive body to take two steps back.
As Leo struggled to get up from the ground, the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape, under Yonamine’s control, charged towards him. The giant hammer and axe continuously descended.
The ground trembled, producing one muffled bang after another. Amidst the flying dust, deep craters and cracks appeared on the ground.
Leo exerted all his strength to perform the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, narrowly evading the descending hammer and axe.
“Leo, stop struggling in vain. As long as you obediently come with me to Orientia, I can guarantee you’ll receive the treatment of an esteemed guest in the Koken family,” Yonamine’s voice echoed in Leo’s ears.
Leo remained silent, pondering a way to deal with the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape in his mind.
When Leo caught sight of the dormant Demon Vine, an idea immediately formed in his mind.
Without hesitation, Leo dodged and led the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape towards the direction of the Demon Vine.
As the giant hammer and axe of the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape struck down once again, Leo’s body soared into the air, using a low-level levitation technique to stand above the Demon Vine.
Simultaneously, Leo formed hand seals, releasing his Spiritual Power from within and channeling it downwards.
Yonamine, standing on the shoulder of the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape, witnessed this scene and a sense of unease washed over him.
The previously dormant Demon Vine, after absorbing the Spiritual Power released by Leo, revived and rapidly grew.
The vines grew at an alarming rate, surpassing their previous speed.
A cold smile formed at the corner of Leo’s mouth.
In Leo’s perspective, if a ninja’s ninja power could promote the growth of the Demon Vine, then Spiritual Power, which was even more advanced, would undoubtedly have the same effect.
And indeed, it worked.
Under Leo’s mental control, the wildly growing Demon Vine rushed towards the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape.
Despite being large in size, the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape’s agility was naturally lower. Although Yonamine controlled it, it couldn’t escape the entanglement of the Demon Vine.
In just a few breaths, all four legs of the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape were bound by the Demon Vine.
Yonamine had already figured out Leo’s plan. While feeling annoyed, he commanded the Quadruped Mighty Strength Ape, “Cut the vines and retreat!”
