Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

The leader, with a tall and straight figure, a cold and deep aura, and eyes like blades, was surrounded by gray true energy, his killing intent restrained. He was none other than Kishida Retsumitsu, the leader of the Jonin Division!

Half-step Grandmaster level!

He is proficient in countless stealth and deadly ninjutsu, as well as chain escape and killing techniques. He can also combine the ninjutsu of all members to amplify his power.

The 41 members sacrificed their ninjutsu and unified their power, accumulating ninja aura, which could push their combat strength to the limit of the early stage of the Grandmaster, making them extremely strong in close-range assassination.

On the right, forty-six figures, clad in dark armor with intricate patterns, blending into the darkness and exuding an aura of utter emptiness, slowly stepped out of the shadows.

Elite members of the island nation's shadow forces!

The island nation's top combat force and ultimate trump card, each member is a carefully selected assassin, specializing in shadow killing techniques and proficient in third-grade shadow martial arts.

The leader was lean and wiry, with a cold and stern face and dark, pupil-less eyes. A faint shadowy aura surrounded him, making him seem to blend into the darkness, silent and undetectable.

Leader of the Shadow Division, Miyamoto Takeo!

A genuine early-stage Rank 3 Grandmaster!

Possessing an exceptional dark physique, he is naturally suited to the path of dark slaughter and specializes in the top-tier third-grade martial art, "Silent Shadow Kill".

His combat power far surpasses that of an ordinary beginner Grandmaster, and he is even stronger than Dongfang Ming of Haoran Academy who possesses the Wind Spirit Body. He has the terrifying strength to directly kill a Grandmaster of the same level in the early stages.

The combined power of the forty-six people activated the Shadow Alliance Formation, which could stack up their strength and raise their cultivation level, allowing Miyamoto Takeo to reach the mid-stage Grandmaster level, enough to sweep aside all the top cultivators in the secret realm!

The two top official powers of the island nation have both made their appearance!

At this moment, all five forces in the island nation have gathered!

The Yamamoto, Abe, and Aso families, along with elites from the Jonin and Shadow Divisions of the government, totaling nearly 180 Japanese pirates, surrounded the entire Black Rock Valley, their killing intent overwhelming!

Kishida Retsumitsu's gaze was icy, his eyes sweeping over the defeated and heavily injured cultivators of the three major families scattered across the ground, finally settling on Gu Chen, who stood alone in the valley. His tone was indifferent and ruthless, filled with utter disdain:

"A mere rogue cultivator from the Divine Dynasty, relying on a few strange sword techniques, slaughtered the people of my island nation and disgraced our island nation's dignity."

"The three major families are incompetent and easily defeated, wasting their strategic plans."

"Next, I, from the Jonin Club, will end your life."

In his eyes, the three major families were not strong because they lacked a Grandmaster-level expert in this region. The real killing power of the island nation lay in their government's Jonin Division and Shadow Division.

He was full of confidence and arrogance.

Stealth assassination is his absolute domain!

No matter how strong the opponent's soul is, how exquisite their swordsmanship is, or how heaven-defying their direct combat strength is, they cannot defend against the unsolvable Shadow Instant Kill!

Miyamoto Takeshi stood silently in the shadows, his aura extinguished, uttering no extra words. Only his dark eyes were fixed on Gu Chen, his killing intent restrained, poised to strike.

He is the ultimate trump card, the final weapon, waiting for the Jonin to wear down their opponents and test their limits before striking to deliver the final blow.

Gu Chen stood alone, facing the encirclement from five sides, more than a hundred elite Japanese pirates, and two grandmaster-level combatants. His expression remained calm and composed.

"The island nation's government's Jonin Club and Shadow Club, well done."

"With you all here, I'll have all the resources I need for today."

Gu Chen's tone was calm, yet it carried absolute confidence.

Although the Shadow Division and the Jonin Division have some strange methods, they are good at hiding, stealth, and assassination.

But his soul had already reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm!

Within the entire valley, all concealed auras, escape techniques, and invisibility techniques were all within his divine soul perception, leaving them nowhere to hide!

Any assassination techniques or ninjutsu are a joke!

"Arrogant and ignorant!"

Kishida Retsumitsu's eyes turned cold, and he stopped talking nonsense.

"Everyone, form a concealment array, hide your aura and conceal your forms!"

Swish!

The forty-one Jonin disciples instantly became ethereal, their auras vanished, and they merged into the dark winds and mist of the valley, disappearing without a trace.

The entire valley instantly vanished without a trace of the Jonin clan's presence.

Perfect stealth, ultimate stealth technique!

It is invisible to the naked eye, imperceptible to true essence, and beyond the reach of conventional perception!

Kishida Retsuko completely merged into the void shadow, his figure dissipated silently and without a trace, disappearing from all directions and surrounding Gu Chen!

"die!"

A silent, cold shout echoed from the void!

A stealthy attack, at the peak of the early stage of a Grandmaster, suddenly exploded from three inches of void behind Gu Chen!

The fourth-rank top-level ninjutsu, Shadowless Instant Assassination!

Extremely close-range, swift, and mysterious, a killing technique hidden in the void appears.

Attack in an instant, kill without a trace!

In the void, a black, venomous spike condensed from a powerful energy and pierced straight at Gu Chen's vital point in the back of his heart. The angle was tricky, and the speed was extremely fast, making it impossible to defend against!

All the Japanese pirates present had burning eyes, convinced that Kishida Retsumitsu would win!

The inescapable ninja killings, how could Gu Chen possibly withstand them!

But the next second, everyone's pupils shrank!

Faced with the unsolvable stealth and instant kill, Gu Chen remained completely still.

The Grandmaster's perfected divine soul instantly locked onto the hidden point in the void!

All stealth techniques, aura disguises, and spatial concealment were completely penetrated by the divine soul!

"The art of concealment is useless against me."

Gu Chen's words, spoken calmly, stirred something within him.

After the power of his soul trembled violently, his heart felt empty!

puff!

A muffled sound echoed in the void!

Soul Piercing Cone activated.

Kishida Retsumitsu, who had launched a sneak attack, was shaken violently. His mind was stinging, his soul was injured, and his concealment was shattered instantly!

His invisibility was forcibly dispelled, and he staggered backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his mind severely injured!

A stealthy sneak attack was countered by being crushed by the soul!

His stealth technique was broken in one move, and he was directly injured by the counterattack!

The entire room fell silent!

All the Jonin disciples were shocked and their faces were filled with disbelief!

The top-tier stealth attack that the Jonin Club couldn't counter was broken out of thin air by the opponent, and Kishida Retsumitsu was injured by the counterattack!

Kishida Retsumitsu steadied himself, his face grim and ugly, his heart aching with inexplicable fear.

Soul-binding secret techniques!

At the Core Formation stage, he was able to project his divine soul outwards, see through all concealments, and even learned a secret technique that could injure the divine soul of a Grandmaster!

Gu Chen's talent is unheard of. How could someone at the Core Formation stage achieve this?

"I don't believe it, this can't be true!"

Kishida Retsumitsu was filled with resentment and humiliation!

He had practiced ninjutsu for many years and his hidden attacks had never failed him, but today his attacks were broken by a rogue cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage and instead injured him!

"Everyone, unify your ninjutsu, consume all your true energy, and assist me again!"

The forty-one Jonin disciples will no longer remain hidden!

He used all his true energy to merge with Kishida Retsuko!

hum!

The black ninja energy gathered wildly and poured into Kishida Retsuko's body!

With the formation of ninjutsu, Kishida Retsuko's skill level was forcibly elevated!

His aura instantly surged to the limit of the early stage of Grandmaster, and his hidden killing power swept across the sky, annihilating everything in silence!

"Thousand Shadows Annihilation!"

He unleashed a master-level ultimate ninjutsu!

Thousands of shadow clones, endless killing trajectories, and countless poisonous stings of ninjutsu covered Gu Chen from all directions, above and below, in a complete and utter annihilation, leaving him nowhere to escape and nowhere to avoid!

This is his ultimate finishing move, the strongest attack he can currently unleash!

He was certain that this move would kill his opponent!

Faced with the endless stream of hidden and deadly attacks, Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back, his sword aura rising completely!

The second move of the Blood Transformation Nine Blades, a first-class martial art, is unleashed to cleave through thousands of troops!
