I'm in the Dragon Clan, bound to the Naruto Counterattack System

Chapter 119 Kabuto the Pharmacist (3000 words)

It wasn't Cheng Sui's true form that arrived; Cheng Sui's true form went in the exact opposite direction from this shadow clone.

Even if a shadow clone were to arrive, it would be more than enough to handle the current situation.

The unexpected challenge this time was never the battle itself, but rather how to find the hidden girl in the vast city of Tokyo.

Now that it has been found, everything will be over.

Cheng Sui breathed a sigh of relief, but his grip on Wang Jiang's neck did not loosen at all.

He never had the habit of wasting words with the enemy.

As for why this person, who should have died, has been resurrected, that is irrelevant.

It's just a matter of swinging the knife again.

He stretched out his other hand, and a cloud of white smoke exploded in his palm.

A long and sharp grass sword quietly appeared in his hand.

Just as Cheng was about to swing his sword and behead Wang Jiang once again, all the lights in the subway suddenly went out.

The entire carriage was plunged into complete darkness.

Cheng Sui acted without the slightest hesitation.

The grass sword in his hand suddenly crackled with blinding lightning, emitting a shrill cry like a thousand birds singing in unison.

The lightning tore through the darkness, piercing Wang Jiang's head with pinpoint accuracy, and continued its force, pinning him firmly to the subway wall behind him.

"Clap clap clap!"

A crisp clapping sound suddenly rang out from deep within the carriage.

Along with the applause came a series of chilling rustling sounds.

The sound was dense and sticky, like countless wet, soft bodies crawling on the ground.

Cheng Sui expressionlessly drew his grass sword, flicked it back, and shook off the bloodstains on the blade.

The blade, imbued with the Chidori Stream, emitted a pale yet chilling light, illuminating the scene before him.

The scene in his field of vision caused Cheng Sui's pupils to involuntarily contract.

A feeling of nausea, stemming from physiological instinct, surged uncontrollably into my heart.

Within the range of Chidori's lightning, the king who should have been nailed to the wall was standing there unharmed.

But what truly stirred Cheng Sui's heart was not the king's resurrection.

Instead, it was the dense, writhing shadow behind him.

They were a seemingly endless group of Deadpools.

These Deadpools were unlike any Cheng Sui had ever seen before.

Their lower bodies are huge, bloated, and greasy snake tails that make a nauseating rustling sound every time they drag on the ground.

Their upper bodies, however, retain the human torso.

However, that part of the body had swelled up and turned white, with wrinkled skin, presenting a strange sense of edema, like the corpse of a drowning person who had been soaking underwater for several days.

What's most chilling is the chest area of ​​these Deadpools.

On each swollen torso, there is a human face.

The expressions on their faces varied; some were laughing loudly, some were crying silently, and some were twisted with anger. But without exception, they all exuded an eeriness and despair.

Even more bizarrely, these dead servants were now standing obediently behind the king.

They toned down Deadpool's inherent madness and violence, becoming as docile as a group of pets carefully raised by their owner.

Despite witnessing this nauseating scene, Cheng Sui's expression remained icy.

"Is this your aesthetic sense?"

"No wonder you chose such an ugly mask as your face."

Wang Jiang was not angered by Cheng Sui's words; he simply let out a low laugh.

"Are you still indulging in these verbal battles?"

"You should think about how to save yourself and the girl beside you."

After saying that, Wang slowly turned around and walked into the darkness deeper into the subway.

At the same time, he gently tapped the wooden clapper in his hand.

"Bang, bang."

At the sound of the clapper, the group of snake-like dead servants instantly stirred. They twisted their greasy bodies, let out a sickening roar, and surged towards Cheng Sui like a tide.

At the same time, the subway train jolted violently, having already left the platform, and began to rush headlong into the dark tunnel.

Cheng Sui, knife in hand, stood in front of Erii without taking a single step back.

He had noticed the girl's empty eyes long ago, but now was not the time to dwell on that.

The most urgent task is to get Erii out of the subway.

He swung the grass sword in his hand continuously, each swing bringing with it a sharp flash of lightning.

Wherever the blade passed, the snake-like Deadpool's head flew into the air, and foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere.

A sharp flash of lightning briefly illuminated Cheng Sui's cold, handsome profile.

The king stood in the darkness deep inside the subway, quietly watching this scene, his expression behind the nobleman's mask remaining unchanged.

His purpose in deploying these assassins was never to kill Cheng Sui.

It's just a way to buy time.

His real trump card was never these Deadpools, but the girl Cheng Sui trusted most.

Cheng Sui beheaded a dead servant, his brows furrowing slightly.

In fact, given the current situation, the best solution is to use large-scale ninjutsu to burn the carriage and the monster inside to ashes.

However, the subway car was too cramped, and he was afraid that the raging flames might accidentally injure Erii behind him, so he hesitated to unleash them.

Just then, a series of eerie clapper sounds suddenly came from the subway's public address system.

The sound, amplified by the electrical current, echoed throughout the entire carriage.

Cheng Sui was somewhat confused, but he didn't get distracted.

He was waiting for the subway to pass the next station platform.

Although the train wouldn't stop, he could use that brief moment—a second or two—to force his way out of the carriage with Erii.

The sound of the clapper grew increasingly urgent, like a death knell.

Cheng Sui didn't notice that Erii behind him had already covered her head in pain with both hands.

The girl's body trembled slightly, as if two completely different wills were vying for control of her body in her mind.

While slaughtering the endless stream of undead, Cheng Sui kept an eye on the scenery outside the car window out of the corner of his eye.

coming!

The subway suddenly burst out of the tunnel, and the station lights flashing past the window instantly illuminated the carriage.

The moment Cheng Sui saw the light, he immediately turned around and reached out to hug Erii.

"Eri-i————"

His words came to an abrupt end.

A sharp, icy pain shot through his abdomen.

Cheng Sui lowered his head in disbelief.

He discovered that his abdomen had been completely pierced by a sharp object.

He slowly turned his head, and Erii was already floating in mid-air.

The car windows around her had shattered silently, with countless tiny shards surrounding her.

The girl remained expressionless, her crimson eyes empty.

Only two lines of clear tears were continuously flowing from those empty eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

At the end of the carriage, the king burst into hearty applause and laughter.

He likes watching this.

Look at this once arrogant young man, now with such an incredulous expression.

How does it feel to be betrayed by the person you trust most?

Erii's hands were trembling violently.

For a brief moment, the will deep within his soul triumphed over the control of the clapper.

She fell from mid-air, ran to Cheng Sui's side, and hugged his swaying body tightly.

The girl kept sobbing, unable to make any sound.

Large tears fell in a steady stream onto Cheng Sui's face.

"fine."

Cheng Sui said weakly.

"Don't worry."

The Deadpools around them smelled the blood and charged forward again, howling.

Erii simply raised her hand.

The next second, an invisible hurricane of death suddenly erupted around her.

The shards of glass hovering around her, empowered by the power of her words, transformed into the world's deadliest weapons.

They pierced through the air with a will to destroy everything.

In an instant, all the Deadpools that rushed forward were easily cut into countless pieces.

Inside the train carriage, a rain of blood and flesh began to fall.

Looking at the girl's red and swollen eyes, Cheng Sui raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears with his relatively clean sleeve.

He wanted to say something.

However, the chakra within the shadow clone's body had already been exhausted at this moment.

"Bang."

Cheng Sui's figure exploded into a cloud of white smoke in Erii's arms.

Erii blinked, her arms still empty, and stood there blankly.

She didn't understand what was happening before her eyes.

Wang Jiang slowly emerged from the depths of the subway, striking a wooden clapper.

The devilish sound of the clapper rang out again.

The light that had just shone in Erii's eyes struggled for a moment before being completely swallowed up by the endless darkness.

"It's gone?"

The king smiled gently.

"It seems your boy has finally given up on you and run away."

Erii slumped in the pool of blood and corpses of the Dead Servants, her eyes once again becoming vacant.

Like a malfunctioning doll.

The subway sped along, disappearing into deeper darkness.

The king's smile grew even more smug.

Behind the subway, in that bottomless, pitch-black tunnel.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Heavy and rapid whooshing sounds rang out one after another.

A figure was rapidly crawling along the walls and ceiling of the tunnel in an inhuman manner.

His entire body was covered in a scarlet, boiling chakra cloak.

His pupils had turned into blood-red vertical pupils like those of a wild beast.

Around the vertical pupil, three jet-black tomoe are slowly rotating.

Just now, finding no trace of Erii in the subway he was on, he immediately turned around and headed to the other lines that his shadow clones were exploring.

In the instant he passed another shadow clone, he locked onto the correct carriage where Erii was.

Just now, a string of memories that didn't belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

The excruciating pain of having my abdomen pierced.

The girl's empty eyes shed clear tears.

And that silent despair.

Fifth Gate - Du Gate, open!

Cheng Sui's chakra began to circulate in an even more violent mode.

Cheng Sui's speed increased dramatically in an instant, so fast that he left afterimages in the air.

The empty tunnel echoed with a series of ear-piercing sonic booms.

[Yakushi Kabuto used his cunning schemes to lure Ayame to his side. Faced with the treacherous Kabuto, Ayame felt a despair she had never experienced before.]

[Mission: Rescue Ayame from the Medicine Master's clutches]

[Quest Reward: Impure World Reincarnation]

Seeing the system's prompt, Cheng Sui quickened his pace.

The scarlet figure transformed into a streak of light that tore through the darkness, chasing after the subway ahead.
