"Whoosh!" Taking advantage of Yukisumi's Ninjutsu finishing, Jinpachi Munashi instantly dashed out.
His intention was to get close and use his Shibuki to blow Yukisumi to death.
But Yukisumi was not a fool; of course, he wouldn't stand still and wait for the enemy's blade to strike him.
He immediately retreated, while also forming hand seals.
"Hyōton: Hyōheki!"
An ice wall appeared in front of Yukisumi, blocking Jinpachi Munashi's attack and the Explosive Tags from the Shibuki.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, the noise carrying far.
The thick ice wall was also shattered, flying everywhere.
"Hyōton: Makyō Hyōshō!"
The scattered ice shards, under Yukisumi's renewed Ninjutsu, once again gathered together.
They formed more than a dozen ice mirrors, surrounding Jinpachi Munashi.
He was preparing for a 360-degree, no-blind-spot attack.
However, Jinpachi Munashi had already anticipated this situation.
He brandished the Shibuki, and a scroll extended from the back of the Shibuki.
Jinpachi Munashi ran around within the circle of ice mirrors, and the scroll spread out over the places he had run.
"Explode!"
With a loud shout from Jinpachi Munashi.
Numerous Explosive Tags appeared on the scroll.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosions of the Explosive Tags rang out one after another.
They shattered the ice mirrors Yukisumi had constructed.
And Jinpachi Munashi leisurely walked out of the explosion zone.
"Hehehe, what Dakuhyō Yukisumi? I see you're nothing special. Tonight, I'll personally send you on your way with my Shibuki!"
After speaking, he advanced again, intending to take down Yukisumi in one fell swoop.
"Hmph! That depends on whether you have the ability!"
"Hyōton: Kokuryū Bōfūsetsu!"
A black dragon head, over ten meters long, formed behind Yukisumi, opening its giant black mouth and charging directly at Jinpachi Munashi, as if to completely devour him.
"Hmph! Bakutō: Bakusatsu!"
Jinpachi Munashi quickly began to spin, and the Shibuki in his hand exploded repeatedly along its back.
This further accelerated his spinning speed.
Finally, the Shibuki, spinning at its maximum speed, collided head-on with the black dragon formed by Yukisumi's Hyōton.
The immense impact pushed Jinpachi Munashi back over ten meters, smashing through two large trees before he finally stopped.
But the ice dragon also exploded and disintegrated.
"Hehehe! As expected of an S-rank Ninjutsu, its power is indeed formidable."
Jinpachi Munashi, who had been knocked back and fallen against a large tree, stood up again, looking at Yukisumi, who was already panting not far away, and mocked.
"Having continuously used two large-scale Hyōton Ninjutsu, you must be very exhausted now. Let me guess, how much Chakra do you have left? Fifty percent? Or thirty percent!"
"Then you guess, how much Chakra do I have left? How many Explosive Tags do I have left! Ohohoho!"
"Are you ready to die, genius!"
After speaking, he again raised his blade and charged at Yukisumi.
"Hoo~ Ha~"
Yukisumi, who was heavily panting, showed no hesitation and once again unleashed Ninjutsu upon seeing Jinpachi Munashi charging again.
Jinpachi Munashi was right; he indeed didn't have much Chakra left.
He had been too arrogant. Ever since the title of Dakuhyō spread within the clan.
He had started to look down on others.
So what if you're a genius? Do you have a title?
No!
Then you're not on my level.
As for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
A bunch of Ninjas who only rely on external tools like Ninja Swords, how strong can their combat power be?
He disdained to even learn about them.
However, it was precisely this disdain that led to the current passive situation.
He could have relied on the stealth of Dakuhyō in the darkness against the enemy, but instead, he chose to show off with powerful techniques.
As a result, one was directly countered, and the other had little effect.
"Hyōton: Hyōsō!"
Countless black ice spikes once again surged towards Jinpachi Munashi.
Hoping to interrupt his attack.
But Jinpachi Munashi chose not to meet them head-on this time.
He dodged what he could.
For what he couldn't dodge, he continuously swung the Shibuki in his hand in front of him.
Thus, his forward momentum did not falter.
Seeing this, Yukisumi stopped his Ninjutsu and began to retreat in a hurry.
He hoped to use his remaining Chakra to stall Jinpachi Munashi until the clan's Ninjas arrived.
Thus, the battle fell into a situation where one chased, one fled, and one had no escape.
The one with no escape was Yukikaze.
Due to drinking too much alcohol earlier.
Coupled with being ganged up on by a squad of Anbu.
At this moment, Yukikaze had multiple injuries, and his white clothes had long turned red.
Combined with his snow-white hair and the dark environment, it gave off a rather eerie feeling.
Originally, Yukikaze could have held on for a while longer because he thought Yukisumi was so strong that he could quickly defeat Jinpachi Munashi.
And then come to support him.
Of course, at first, that was indeed the situation.
Yukikaze had initially seen Jinpachi Munashi get injured by a normal Ninjutsu from Yukisumi.
He felt that victory was assured.
As expected of the genius with a title in the clan, he was truly different.
Then he saw Yukisumi unleash a powerful technique, trapping Jinpachi Munashi with Makyō Hyōshō.
He even started to mock the Anbu who were ganging up on him.
Then, after a few taunts, he saw Yukisumi's powerful technique get broken.
Jinpachi Munashi calmly walked out.
At that time, Yukikaze was a bit surprised, but it wasn't a big problem.
He believed Yukisumi had only suffered from a lack of information, and as long as he proceeded steadily, he could still win.
Who knew, Yukisumi immediately unleashed another powerful technique.
Although it was somewhat beyond Yukikaze's expectation.
After seeing the dragon's imposing aura, he felt that victory was assured this time.
Even the Clan Head would have to temporarily avoid such a dragon head, over ten meters long.
As for Jinpachi Munashi, a mere member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, all his abilities relied on his Ninja Sword.
Of course.
He admitted that the sword was very powerful and could summon many Explosive Tags.
But!
What's the use of having more Explosive Tags?
Could Explosive Tags with such a small explosion range destroy a dragon head over ten meters long?
No!
So!
Seeing this scene, Yukikaze started mocking again.
And vowed that he would turn all the opposing Anbu into ice sculptures later.
Then shatter them all.
And then.
And then Yukikaze couldn't speak anymore.
Because he saw that Jinpachi Munashi actually took the attack head-on.
And he didn't suffer much harm.
At this moment, he felt a hint of despair.
What's going on?
Is this the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Didn't they say they only relied on Ninja Swords?
How could they be so strong?
And, there were seven such strong individuals!
Was the Yuki Clan doomed then!
Was he himself doomed today!
Finally, he saw Yukisumi being no match for Jinpachi Munashi.
And choosing to flee.
Then he knew one thing for sure.
That was... he himself was definitely doomed today.
Of course, he didn't blame Yukisumi.
Because Yukisumi was fully capable of luring Jinpachi Munashi towards him.
Then using him as a shield, and finally, if he was willing to pay the price, he could definitely escape.
But Yukisumi didn't.
He chose to lead Jinpachi Munashi away alone.
So, he could only blame himself for only drinking normally and neglecting his cultivation, possessing an enviable Kekkei Genkai, yet unable to even defeat a few Anbu.
"Heh, today I, Yukikaze, have fallen! But all of you must come down with me!"
Knowing that there was no hope of survival, Yukikaze also became ruthless.
He began to recklessly squeeze out his life force.
Planning to drag this squad of Anbu members down with him.
"Ah! Hyōton: Mugen Hyōiki!"
Extreme coldness centered around Yukikaze, freezing him solid, then rapidly spreading outwards.
Upon seeing this, that Anbu squad realized something was wrong and tried to retreat.
But the ice spread too quickly.
Ultimately.
Everyone failed to escape and was frozen solid.
