The ninja was actually a woman?
Hearing Sophia's exclamation that had no common sense, Xiao Zheng just said in a flat tone, "Ninjas are either men or women. What's so strange about that?" After saying that, he grabbed Sophia's arm and frowned. "Stay away from her."
Sophia was easily picked up by Xiao Zheng and hid behind him like a little chick. On the other hand, a strange warmth flashed across Sophia's face. However, she was still unconvinced and said, "She's just a dead ninja. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Iga Sect ninjas are not only good at team assassinations, but they also have poison on them. Once they touch the mechanism, they will create poisonous smoke. They can still kill people even after death. "Xiao Zheng's eyes were solemn as he pursed his lips. "During the Edo period in Japan, the Iga Sect ninjas, with Hattori Hanzo as their spiritual leader, would trigger the mechanism and release poisonous smoke even after death. They would perish together with their enemies. It was the most ruthless ninja sect. "
Puff!
A wisp of green smoke rose a few meters in front of Xiao Zheng. Then, a slender silhouette with an icy aura appeared in a flash. It was as if it came from another time and space, tearing through space. It was extremely horrifying. However, after Xiao Zheng's explanation, Sophia understood that this was the so-called camouflage. And the wisp of green smoke just now was the tool that revealed the figure. Although she couldn't understand the principle behind it, with Xiao Zheng's explanation, she didn't make a fuss about it like she did before.
"You know quite a lot."
The ninja in a white ninja suit only revealed a pair of eyes that were as vicious and cold as a cobra. It was as if he could release poison at any time and poison the enemy to death.
As soon as this person appeared, three ninjas appeared behind him and behind Xiao Zheng. Some were close, some were far, and some were even climbing on the wall like geckos with ninja blades on their backs. The scene was strange and filled with a murderous aura.
Xiao Zheng gripped his blade tightly. Blood flowed down the edge of the blade. A pair of calm and cold eyes stared at the leading ninja in white. He said calmly, "Who are you?"
"Don't you already know?" The white-clothed ninja's voice had obviously been specially processed. Not only was it impossible to determine his age, it was also impossible to determine his gender. It could be said that he had disguised himself to the extreme.
However, Xiao Zheng could see that this person's ninjutsu was extremely high. Not only was he good at disguising himself, but he also had unpredictable skills. Otherwise, Xiao Zheng wouldn't have been unable to sense his presence even after such a long time of fighting.
"Nonsense," Sofia questioned coldly. "We want to know your identity!"
"Don't worry," the ninja in white said coldly. "You will know before you die."
As soon as his voice fell, the ninjas behind him were clearly still in the line of sight of Xiao Zheng, but in just an instant, a thick smoke rose and filled the entire corridor.
Hu hu!
Gusts of strong wind rose from within the white smoke. Immediately, dense killing intent engulfed Xiao Zheng and his companion.
When the smoke suddenly rose, Sofia's vision was completely blocked. She could not even see her own feet, much less the enemy. This was what it meant to be blind and unable to see one's own fingers. Just as she was about to move her feet in a panic and lean against the wall as much as possible, a rough but wide and powerful palm grabbed her palm, and a comforting voice slowly sounded in her ears, "Follow me closely. Don't make a sound. "
In that instant, Sofia felt an indescribable warmth in her palm. A sense of security that she hadn't felt for many years. Her slightly frantic body gradually calmed down. She only followed Xiao Zheng's footsteps, either advancing, retreating, turning around, or rising into the air —
At this moment, Sofia was no different from a blind person. Not only was her eyes blind, even her ears couldn't tell the direction. She could only hear the continuous sounds of metal clashing and muffled cries of pain.
Other than the ninja in white, there were six other ninjas in grayish-white ninja uniforms in the corridor. They moved quickly and were skilled in both offense and defense. They accurately made use of Xiao Zheng's concern for Sofia's safety and his hesitation to attack. They tested the waters and quickly retreated. They didn't want to be held back by Xiao Zheng, who was ranked among the strong.
Ninjas were not Japanese samurai. They didn't need the samurai spirit, and they didn't mind using despicable methods. What they wanted was to defeat the enemy and kill the enemy under the samurai's blade.
Thus, even though their abilities were far inferior to Xiao Zheng's, Xiao Zheng only managed to kill two of them after fighting for three minutes. He was even almost hit by a flying dart from one of the ninjas.
Xiao Zheng knew that the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. Especially with Sofia by his side. If his reaction speed wasn't fast enough, they might hurt Sofia.
What made Xiao Zheng the most wary was the ninja in white who didn't make a move and only watched from the side.
This person had endured for so long. He was probably waiting for the best opportunity to attack, right?
But no matter what, Xiao Zheng had no other way out. Other than relying on his terrifying hearing and superb vision to deal with the ninjas, he had no other way. The more he fought, the more anxious he became.
In reality, Xiao Zheng wasn't afraid of this group of ninjas. Even if they had top-notch ninjutsu, in Xiao Zheng's eyes, it was just some unorthodox methods. But he couldn't use them, and he couldn't ignore Sofia's comfort and fight too passionately. He could only fight and dodge, unable to fight with his full strength. Otherwise, with Xiao Zheng's abilities, he could kill this group of ninjas in a minute. How could he give them the chance to be arrogant in front of him?
Crack!
Xiao Zheng killed the third ninja, and the smoke in the air gradually dissipated.
When her vision cleared, Sofia suddenly saw the blood on Xiao Zheng's left shoulder. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Zheng, you're bleeding!"
"It's fine," Xiao Zheng said softly, pursing his lips.
Xiao Zheng wasn't just bleeding. The blood flowed down his arm and onto their tightly clasped hands. At first, Sofia thought it was the enemy's blood. Because from the beginning to the end, she could only hear the enemy's muffled groans. Xiao Zheng didn't make a sound at all. But who would have thought that Xiao Zheng would also be injured in this difficult battle?
Whoosh!
A ninja dart came from the front, and Xiao Zheng sent it flying with a swing of his blade. The three ninjas attacked from the front and back again, raising their katanas as they swooped down. The smoke dissipated, and the ninjas revealed their ferocious faces.
"You're courting death!" Xiao Zheng held his blade in his right hand and held Sofia's palm tightly with his left. His body suddenly slid two inches forward, and the blade in his hand was like a sharp bolt of lightning, sweeping across the two ninjas with a swoosh. In the instant that the two ninjas couldn't fight back, he cruelly slit their throats. In the next instant, Xiao Zheng swung his blade behind him. When the last ninja swung his katana at him, he slashed down with lightning speed.
Crack!
The ninja's skull cracked, and blood splattered on the spot.
However, at this moment, when Xiao Zheng was in front and Xiao Zheng was behind, his body had expanded to its limit. Even if he could still turn around, his movements would be extremely slow and sluggish. At this moment, the white-clothed ninja who had been watching from the side suddenly attacked.
Buzz!
The blade was unsheathed, and a cold gleam appeared.
