Chapter 283: I've Defected
"M-monster…"
Everyone stood dumbfounded, stammering over their words. Even Gengetsu Hōzuki couldn't close his mouth for a long time. "If I took that head-on, even I wouldn't survive."
Looking at the devastated sea, Gengetsu Hōzuki couldn't help but shiver. Was this really the kind of destruction a three-year-old child could cause?
"Buzz…"
While everyone was still in shock, Li Jiexuan slowly drew the Kusanagi Sword and walked step by step toward Qingzheng…
"W-what are you doing?" Qingzheng collapsed to the ground in terror, a dark yellow stain spreading beneath him he had wet himself…
"As agreed, your life is mine!" Li Jiexuan stepped on Qingzheng, and before everyone's eyes, the Kusanagi Sword in his hand slowly descended.
"You…"
Off to the side, Seimei gritted his teeth. Behind him, the Ya Li Dark Blades stirred restlessly. But just as he was about to make a move, a chill ran down his spine for no reason…
Li Jiexuan was smiling!
Eight white teeth gleamed in the air as he narrowed his eyes, like an old hunter waiting for a fox to walk into his trap.
And he… was that fox.
Cold sweat poured down like a waterfall. Seimei trembled where he stood, not daring to move.
Seeing that Seimei hadn't taken the bait, Li Jiexuan didn't mind. It was fine if he lived otherwise, who would make the induction coil?
I kill your brother, and you still make tools for me this was Li Jiexuan's dominance!
The Kusanagi Sword fell decisively. This time, no one dared to stop it, and it pierced straight through Qingzheng's heart…
"Hmph!"
Wiping the blood from the blade, Li Jiexuan grinned coldly. The "spare him under the blade" game wasn't meant for the weak and he wasn't some executioner bound by others' orders…
If he let Qingzheng escape like this, he might as well give up on ever unifying the ninja world.
A true ruler does not compromise!
"Now, who will craft my ninja tool?" Li Jiexuan turned and sneered. "According to our agreement, the Land of Artisans must produce a tool that meets my standards!"
Hearing this, Seimei could no longer hold back. With reddened eyes, he roared, "You demon! Qingzheng is already dead what more do you want?"
"Just fulfilling the bet."
Li Jiexuan showed no mercy. All of this was brought upon them by the Land of Artisans' arrogance…
"Boy, don't push things too far!" Seimei roared angrily. "If you don't leave now, even if I kill you, Konoha won't say a word!"
If not for fearing Konoha the same force that had destroyed Sunagakure Seimei would have already mobilized his forces to crush Li Jiexuan…
"Kill me?"
Li Jiexuan grinned and pulled out another induction coil from his storage, aiming it toward the territory of the Land of Artisans. "Do you think your country can withstand a few more shots from me?"
Seeing the coil, Seimei's face turned pale. But he quickly regained his composure and gritted his teeth. "Even if you can kill thousands or tens of thousands, our Land of Artisans has nearly a million people. We'll bury you through sheer numbers!"
This was the power of a nation…
With ten thousand ninjas, even someone as powerful as the Third Raikage had been worn down and killed.
Unfortunately…
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Li Jiexuan suddenly appeared thousands of meters away, sneering. "Believe me if you don't honor the bet, I'll make time every day to come here and fire a shot!"
One shot a day keeps the spirits high!
Able to strike and retreat freely, Li Jiexuan had nothing to lose. Sooner or later, he could wipe out the entire Land of Artisans. Of course, if he really did that, his reputation across the ninja world would be completely ruined…
Seimei's face turned deathly pale. "N-no, you wouldn't…"
"Konoha wouldn't allow you to do this!" In that critical moment, Seimei remembered Li Jiexuan's identity. "You're a Konoha ninja you wouldn't dare!"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan grinned, revealing eight gleaming teeth. "Sorry about a month ago, I already defected!"
