Under the barrage of blood bullets, the stone slab in front of Okabe instantly became pitted and thinned at an extremely rapid pace. It would probably be completely pierced and smashed to pieces in less than five seconds!
Upon realizing this, Okamoto's expression changed again, and he quickly gritted his teeth and used the only B-rank ninjutsu he knew and could release.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
The instant the stone slab shattered, an even harder, thicker, and taller wall rose from the ground in time, blocking all subsequent attacks.
Under such defense, Shinji's casually executed Hundredfold Blood Piercing could not be easily penetrated.
But don't forget, Shinji never expected to defeat his enemy with just this one move.
Okamoto blocked his attacks one after another with earthen walls, but this also meant that Okamoto gave up his own field of vision!
In other words, Okamoto has completely lost Shinji's position at this moment.
You can only judge whether the attack is still directly in front of you based on the attack you have blocked.
However, one of the biggest differences between Shinji's curse techniques and ninjutsu is that most ninjutsu are released in one go, while his curse techniques can be controlled throughout the entire process!
The one currently unleashing blood bullets at Okamoto is not him at all, but a blood sphere he has infused with magical power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used the high-speed movement enhanced by the [Crimson Scale Leap] state to bypass the earth wall and appear behind Okamoto like a ghost.
A short dagger made of congealed blood was pointed at Okamoto's back.
After a moment's thought, Shinji moved his weapon to avoid hitting the opponent's vitals.
Before meeting Kado, this guy still had some use.
With that thought in mind, Shinji, with a mischievous grin, muttered under his breath, "Shoot him, sharpshooter!"
puff!
The short dagger extended in an instant, becoming thin, long, and sharp.
When Okamoto heard the sound behind him, he realized the danger, but it was too late to react, and a hole was ripped into his stomach.
From a distance, it looked as if Shinji had pierced Okamoto's stomach with a long, blood-red needle.
Then Shinji withdrew his cursed power, letting the 'long needle' in his hand turn back into ordinary blood.
Because his abdomen was pierced, some of the blood remained inside Okamoto's body.
At that moment, Okamoto, who had just let out a painful groan, immediately leaped up and created distance.
He is afraid!
The bald guy who was impossible to kill before was just a nuisance to him. He thought that if all else failed, he could just run away. What could he do?
But this guy in front of him not only possessed a very strange 'ninjutsu', but he also didn't even realize when someone had touched him from behind, which meant that the two of them were not opponents on the same level at all.
We can't delay any longer, or I'll lose my life here next time.
Thinking of this, Okamoto immediately pulled out two smoke grenades from his bag, smashed them at his feet with a bang, and prepared to slip away.
But after running only a couple of steps, he felt dizzy and weak all over, and then he collapsed to the ground.
"poisoned?"
"Damn it! When exactly is this happening?"
Okamoto barely managed to maintain a sliver of consciousness, but he was already unable to speak.
Tap, tap, tap...
The smoke had dissipated, and the sound of unhurried footsteps could be heard.
Shinji looked down at Okamoto, and only after noticing the latter's utterly bewildered gaze did he, as if to answer Okamoto's question, raise a finger, gathering the remaining blood into a sphere, and say:
"I simply dissolved the toxins into the blood beforehand and then sealed them away. When I take them out during the battle, they will produce some unexpected effects, just like now."
Upon hearing this, Okamoto immediately recalled the moment he was injured.
Presumably, the toxic blood residue remained in his body, which is why he collapsed from poisoning.
Faced with such an enemy, he had lost the will to resist.
So when faced with the two choices Shinji gave him, he became very cooperative.
"If you're willing to lead me to Kado, blink twice in a row. If you want to die, so be it; it'll just waste a little more time."
After saying that, Shinji pointed his raised index finger at Okamoto's head, and the blood sphere began to spin rapidly.
Okamoto had no doubt that if he had been even a little slow, his head would have been mercilessly snapped open. So he hurriedly blinked twice with all his might, even squeezing out tears because he did it so hard.
Upon seeing this, Shinji made no attempt to hide the regret on his face.
Then, in the next second, the blood sphere at the tip of the finger spurted out!
The only difference is that the target has changed from what's under our feet to what's in the distance.
Bang!
One person fell to the ground with a thud, their head blown apart.
"Hey! This is my prey!"
Hidan, who had just finished off the last person, turned his head and shouted loudly with a displeased expression.
[Chapter 22. Your mercy illuminates the entire sky]
In the Land of Waves, within a small, extremely secluded manor.
A dozen or so maids brought out plates of sumptuous food and arranged them, then stood respectfully on both sides.
The huge dining table was occupied by only one person, none other than Gato, whom Shinji and Hidan were searching for.
At this moment, Cardo was wearing round brown glasses, with a white napkin around his neck, and was using a knife and fork to work on a piece of steak that was still bleeding. He then rudely put it into his mouth, tearing and chewing it, which was very uncomfortable to watch.
But no one present dared to show the slightest disgust; they all lowered their heads.
After a while, the food on the plate was devoured in no time. Only then did Kado wipe his hands, pick up the glass next to him, and drink the red wine in one gulp.
"The meat is good today. Tell the cook that his whole family's lives have been saved. But as punishment, sell them all into slavery. Oh, and by the way, I'll grant him one day a month to visit his family."
"Yes, Lord Kado. Your mercy truly illuminates the entire sky!"
The butler's praise came at the right time, though it was slightly exaggerated.
Kado was clearly pleased, and even felt from the bottom of his heart that he was too 'merciful'. He had prepared to let the whole family go down to the underworld to reunite, but in the end, he only made them his slaves for life. Wasn't that enough to show his 'mercifulness'?
Thinking he had done something incredibly good, Kado began to scan the maids around him, finally pointing with his raised chin to two of the twin sisters who had recently arrived.
The two maids trembled, their eyes went blank, and then they immediately crawled over to their knees...
Soon, a look of pleasure appeared on Kado's disgusting face.
Seemingly realizing that Gato was in a good mood today, the butler, who had been keeping his eyes straight ahead, seized the opportunity to speak up: "Captain Okamoto just contacted us, saying that he has captured two ninjas hired by the Mira Peng family and would like to ask for your opinion."
While enjoying the service, Kado said without thinking, "Do you even need to ask me? Just kill him, and remember to return him to his rightful owner, hanging his head on that old bastard's door."
"I'll pass on the message to him right away, but actually... Captain Okamoto also wanted to take this opportunity to meet you and show his loyalty."
"Showing loyalty? I think he's just trying to curry favor... Hmm!"
With a shudder, Kado's thoughts suddenly changed. "Then let him come over, and bring those two along too. I'm a bit bored anyway, it doesn't hurt to have some fun."
. . . . . .
"That's right, Okamoto. Lord Kado agreed to see you this time. If you perform well, you will definitely be given an important position in the future. Then I can confidently marry my daughter to you."
Upon seeing Okamoto, the butler's eyes revealed admiration.
Okamoto immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "Thank you so much, Father-in-law. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today."
The steward was even more pleased to see how cooperative the steward was.
"These two fools attacked the manor in the woods to the north?" The butler turned his gaze to Shinji and Hidan, who were tightly bound.
"Yes, many people were injured in the effort to capture them alive." As he spoke, Okamoto lifted his shirt, revealing a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his waist.
Seeing this, the butler believed him without a doubt, and whispered, "When you meet Lord Kado, you can describe the events in a more dramatic and thrilling way. Lord Kado is a bit tired and bored right now, so perhaps you can use these two people to bring him some amusement."
"Okamoto understands. I'll need to trouble my father-in-law for more guidance in the future."
"That's easy, but you must remember that Lord Kado hates being contradicted the most. No matter how outrageous his request is, you must find a way to fulfill it, understand?"
"Yes, Okamoto will keep that in mind."
After some conversation and instructions, the butler finally led everyone through several hidden 'transfer stations' and successfully arrived at Kado's location.
Throughout the entire process, Shinji and Hidan remained completely silent, exhibiting extreme 'obedience' and allowing Okamoto to do as he pleased.
With his life in someone else's hands, Okamoto didn't dare to play any tricks and cooperated perfectly.
Finally, Kado, dressed as a mafia godfather, appeared before them.
Just as the butler was about to speak, he was stopped by Kado, who was smoking a cigar. "I know you're just employed by that old man, so I can give you a chance to live."
"However, this opportunity is very precious, and only one of you can have it."
"Alright, thank me for my kindness."
"Is it a choice to live alone, or to let the other person live?"
As he puffed on his cigarette, Kado couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile; he loved watching this kind of infighting.
To survive, one can abandon all family and companions.
Afterwards, they would disgustedly kneel down on the ground, hugging the corpse they had killed with their own hands and weeping bitterly, but in reality, they were enjoying the joy of surviving a disaster!
Kado never hesitates to use the most wicked thoughts in the world to speculate about people's hearts.
Oh, right, after these two kill each other, he'll have Okamoto kill the one who's still alive.
Turn the other person's joy of surviving a disaster into despair in an instant!
At that moment, the self-blame and guilt of killing one's companion with the power of nothingness would gnaw at the other's soul like ants, and that kind of pain could even surpass death!
Just imagining such a scene is exhilarating.
"Hmm? Why haven't we started yet?" Kado frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.
No one stopped Okamoto from untying Shinji and Hidan, because they all knew what Gato was expecting.
Moreover, they weren't worried that the two of them could cause any trouble.
