Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 251 Fine Snow (Fourth Update)

As the snow and wind merged into the ice mirror, countless figures appeared simultaneously on each magic mirror.

Yukikaze in all the mirrors took out a large senbon needle and fixed his gaze on Tachibana Kanagawa, who was trapped in the middle.

"Kid, if you surrender now, my previous promise still stands!"

"hehe."

Jianchuan Ju smiled indifferently, completely baffled as to where the other person's confidence came from.

Although the speed at which the opponent's 'Magic Mirror Ice Crystal' formed was somewhat beyond his expectations, being trapped here would mean an immediate defeat. That Xuefeng was being far too arrogant.

"It's not like we haven't fought the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal before."

Back when Kenkawa Tachibana was just a Chunin, Yuki-san from the Yuki clan also used "Demon Mirror Ice Crystal" to trap him. But wasn't he still scalded with boiling water after "Danger Premonition" broke through his speed?

Although the 'Magic Mirror Ice Crystal' was ultimately broken from the outside by the attacks of her teammates, the difference in strength between the current Tachibana Kenkawa and the one before is far greater than the difference in strength between Yukikaze and Yukishan.

Of course, even though Jianchuan Ju didn't think Yukikaze's "Magic Mirror Ice Crystal" would be much stronger, she still remained vigilant and activated "Sharp Eyes" at full power.

Seemingly provoked by the somewhat mocking laughter of Tachibana Kenkawa, Yukikaze stopped talking and launched an attack.

"Whoosh~"

A dark figure flashed out from the ice mirror behind Jianchuan Ju and flew towards her, but Jianchuan Ju remained calm and easily dodged the sneak attack by simply turning her body slightly to the side.

Yukikaze clearly wouldn't stop attacking just because the enemy dodged once.

The next instant.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh whoosh"

The sound of something cutting through the air was incessant.

On all the ice mirrors from all directions, Yukikaze's figure seemed to launch an attack simultaneously, with his target aimed directly at Kanagawa Tachibana in the very center.

However, despite such a high frequency of attacks, only one figure could be seen under Tachibana Kanagawa's dynamic vision.

With the ability to anticipate danger, even if Yukikaze tries to launch a sneak attack from behind Tachibana's blind spot, he can still easily dodge it.

The two of them at this moment looked like they had rehearsed a performance countless times.

No matter how fast Yukikaze increased its speed, it always just missed Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Sizzle~"

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh brought the seemingly endless attack to a halt.

In countless ice mirrors, the figures of Xuefeng simultaneously reached out and covered their chests, where a huge wound, as long as an arm, stretched from Xuefeng's shoulder all the way down to his waist.

With a flick of her wrist, Jianchuan Ju sent the blood from the tip of her knife flying onto the ice mirror in front of her. The blood quickly froze, turning into a dazzling crimson mark.

"this one?"

Having witnessed the opponent's Ice Release techniques, Tachibana no longer intended to drag things out and lightly tapped her chest with her finger.

The next moment, Jianchuan Ju created a huge crater in the ground and shot out like an arrow.

Xuefeng was greatly alarmed, wondering how Jianchuan Ju had found his exact location, and hurriedly moved between the ice mirrors.

However, having already locked onto her target, Jianchuan Ju did not slow down when she reached the ice mirror. She stomped her right foot on the ice and changed direction rapidly in mid-air, causing the ice mirror that Jianchuan Ju stepped on to shatter with a crash.

Ignoring this opportunity to escape the 'Magic Mirror Ice Crystal', Jianchuan Ju continued to stomp on the surrounding ice mirrors.

"Boom!"

With a single Rider Kick, even though Yukikaze was rapidly moving within the Ice Mirror, Tachibana still managed to catch up and smash the ice surface, sending her flying.

Xuefeng gritted his teeth and clasped his hands together.

"Magic Mirror Ice Fang Shatters"

As Xuefeng finished speaking, the remaining dozens of ice mirrors around them exploded with a roar. Countless flying ice shards and cold air instantly enveloped everything around them. Large swathes of coarse ice shards emerged from the ground and combined to form huge ice pillars of various shapes.

In an instant, the entire venue seemed to transform into a frozen hell.

The surrounding ninjas were also shocked. They never expected that the head of the Yuki clan, who usually kept a low profile on the battlefield, would have such hidden methods.

Xuefeng quickly retreated, then looked panting at the area shrouded in cold air.

Just now, because she was too close to the center of the ninjutsu, Yukikaze herself was also cut in several places by the flying ice shards.

"However, if we win..."

However, before Xuefeng could finish speaking, a figure rushed out from the area shrouded in cold air, appearing in front of him as swiftly as a flying arrow.

Ice Release: Fine Snow

Jianchuan Ju held one hand below her lips, and a cold, freezing breath emanated from her mouth, gradually expanding into a merciless gust of wind that instantly enveloped the snowstorm.

Upon closer inspection, countless tiny, glistening snowflakes can be seen mixed in with the icy wind.

As soon as the cold wind touched Xuefeng's body, the crystalline snowflakes quickly attached to it, and in the blink of an eye, Xuefeng had transformed into a lifelike snowman.

Only when I watched helplessly as I was frozen by the snow and wind did I notice.

The Jianchuan Ju who emerged from her own "Magic Mirror Ice Fang Break" was completely unharmed, with not a single tear on her clothes.

"This kid seems to have only used Ice Release ninjutsu the whole time. He's a real monster!"

At this point, Xuefeng had no intention of resisting anymore. He only hoped that after his death, the old folks in his family would not continue to be blind to the situation.

As the last gust of cold wind blew by, the white snowflakes covering Xuefeng were all blown away and carried away, leaving only a crystal-clear human-shaped ice sculpture standing in place.

The surrounding onlookers fell silent, all staring in disbelief at Jianchuan Ju, who had stopped moving and was standing with his hands in his pockets.

It wasn't because he could defeat the Snow Clan Chief so easily, or because he was surprised by the ice sculptures in the arena.

Instead, at this moment, in front of Jianchuan Ju, it extends outward from behind the snow wind ice sculpture.

The fan-shaped area, stretching for hundreds of meters, was almost entirely covered by cold ice and snow. The cold air spread rapidly outwards from the edge of the area. Not only was there a thin layer of ice and snow on the ground, but even the distant flowers, grasses, and trees were frozen into ice, dotted with a few snowflakes.

Fortunately, the battle area enclosed by the ninjas who were originally there to watch the spectacle was large enough.

When "Snowflakes" reached the ninjas in that direction, most of them had already realized the situation was bad and scattered to both sides. No one froze on the spot like Yukikaze, becoming an ice sculpture for the others to admire.

Only a few unlucky souls, covered in snowflakes, were shivering in place.

Jianchuan Ju first subtly tapped her chest, then exhaled a thin stream of white breath.

He then walked forward with a smile and poked the solid ice in front of him with the hilt of his knife.

"Looks like I won after all."

I took the day off from work today. I might update again this afternoon, that's all for now.
