Yuriko’s face was extremely serious as she nodded affirmatively. “Yes, Miss Maniwa, the information is accurate. I can no longer contact Master Yota and the others.”
“That’s impossible! Master Yota is the only Heaven Ninja left in our Koken family, and his strength is immense. He also had many Earth Ninjas with him, along with the Heaven and Earth Ninjas from the Mason family. How could they all be killed by a single boy from Atraria!?”
Kasayama Koken’s eyes widened in disbelief at Yuriko’s words.
“Mr. Koken, although I find it hard to believe as well, the information came through our secret channels. I have confirmed it multiple times; it is accurate.”
Yuriko reaffirmed the accuracy of the information she had received.
“Patriarch, Miss Maniwa, Mr. Koken, now is not the time to debate the accuracy of this information. We need to leave here immediately.”
“From what I know about Leo, after killing Master Yota and the others, he is very likely to come here for revenge.”
Yuriko spoke her thoughts with a grave expression.
Kuki Harumitsu snapped out of his shock. Hearing Yuriko’s suggestion, his old eyes flickered with determination as he quickly made a decision. “Yuriko is right. We must leave here immediately.”
“Earth Ninja Kanzuke, Human Ninja Yuriko, you two will escort Koken to the United States.”
Kuki Harumitsu looked at Kasayama and Yuriko and gave his orders.
“Understood!” Kasayama and Yuriko responded in unison.
“Grandfather, I want to go with you!” Maniwa exclaimed urgently.
Kuki Harumitsu replied sternly, “You go first. I need to arrange some family matters. I will come to the United States tomorrow.”
“None of you are leaving!”
At that moment, a cold voice reached Kuki and the others’ ears.
The voice caused all four of them to change their expressions drastically.
“Who is it!?” Kasayama drew his samurai sword from his waist and rushed out of the wooden house.
Maniwa and Yuriko exchanged glances, their faces turning pale with fear evident in their eyes.
They recognized the voice all too well.
It was Leo’s voice!
Outside the wooden house, the Ninjas responsible for guarding the estate swiftly surrounded the uninvited guest.
Kuki, Maniwa, and Yuriko also stepped out of the wooden house.
“Leo, it’s really you!”
When they saw that it was indeed Leo standing in the courtyard, Maniwa and Yuriko’s expressions changed again.
Kasayama’s eyes scanned Leo up and down but found nothing special about him. He shouted fiercely, “Kill him!”
As soon as Kasayama’s words fell, the Ninjas surrounding Leo launched their attacks simultaneously.
Various Ninja weapons targeted Leo while a transparent net descended from above.
Maniwa clenched her hands tightly, nervous about whether their family’s Ninjas could kill Leo.
Facing the Ninjas’ attacks, Leo remained calm.
In the next second, all the weapons aimed at Leo froze in mid-air before falling to the ground as ice shards.
Leo snorted coldly as Spiritual Power surged out, causing dozens of ice blades to appear around him.
The ice blades then shot out towards the surrounding Ninjas.
The dozens of Ninjas surrounding Leo had no time to dodge and were pierced by the ice blades one by one.
Seeing Leo take down their family’s Ninjas without any effort was a psychological blow for Kuki and the others.
Kasayama, who had just completed a Seal Weaving, felt fear rising in his heart as he saw the ice blades taking down their Ninjas one by one.
With fear in his eyes, Kasayama formed a hand seal.
A giant rock python emerged from the ground and lunged at Leo with its mouth wide open.
Leo stood still, flicking his right hand towards the python.
An ice blade shot out, splitting the rock python in half.
The ice blade then shot towards Kasayama behind the rock python with such speed that he had no time to dodge.
The ice blade sliced through Kasayama’s neck.
Kasayama’s head flew off, and blood spurted from his neck, turning into droplets that fell on Kuki, Maniwa, and Yuriko.
The three were stunned by this scene, standing motionless as Kasayama’s blood dripped onto them.
Having lived to such an age, Kuki considered himself experienced in facing terrifying situations with strong psychological resilience.
But today’s events were beyond Kuki’s psychological limits.
The fear in Kuki’s heart had reached an extreme level.
At that moment, he was certain that Yuriko’s information was true-Heaven Ninja Yota had indeed been killed by this Atrarian!
What kind of existence had the Koken family provoked?
If only they had known earlier. Now Kuki felt nothing but regret.
“You three can go together,” Leo said coldly as he glanced at Maniwa and the others.
“Leo, please show mercy. All of this is the fault of the Koken family!”
Maniwa trembled as she spoke quickly.
Leo looked at her coldly without saying a word.
“Leo, it was our Koken family’s greed. I beg for your forgiveness.”
“From now on, our Koken family is willing to submit to you and follow your every command.”
Maniwa finished speaking and bowed deeply to Leo at a ninety-degree angle.
“Maniwa, I gave you and your family a chance before. But you did not seize it.”
“Not only did your Koken family repeatedly attack me, but you also tried to take advantage of my Seven Stars Sword Sect.”
“I am not someone who holds grudges; I usually settle them on the spot. Do you think I will spare your Koken family?”
Leo’s tone was cold and merciless.
“Leo, I am willing to die to atone!” Maniwa said resolutely. “The Koken family has many investments in Atraria. If you care about Atraria, please spare my grandfather.”
Leo sneered. “Remember this before you die: The world goes on without anyone.”
As soon as Leo finished speaking, three terrifying chills enveloped Kuki, Maniwa, and Yuriko.
In an instant, three human-shaped ice sculptures appeared in the courtyard.
Leo summoned his Divine Dragon Sword and soared into the sky.
The three ice sculptures shattered into pieces.
Hovering in mid-air, Leo formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed towards the estate below.
A massive fireball descended from the sky.
The Koken family’s estate quickly became engulfed in flames.
Without looking back, Leo flew towards his next target-the Mason family’s headquarters.
