Fu Long had his nine-toothed rake ready and was staring intently at the Shadow Ninja.

The shadow ninja sneered and said, "You think you can catch me? As a hunter, don't you ever read intelligence?"

"See, that's why we chose this place."

Shadow Bone paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and used Condensation to scan his surroundings.

The small temple was completely encircled by spider webs. The dilapidated temple, which had previously appeared to be leaky, was now completely surrounded.

"I'm curious, what exactly makes you worthy of being a C-rank?" Fu Long was speechless. Had this Shadow Bone not fought for too long?

"Tch, you're really well prepared. I suppose you've also taken precautions with the ground?"

Fu Long nodded, which was necessary. Although this was not his own space, it still prevented other possibilities of escape.

"Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight." Ying Gu slowly drew the samurai sword from his back and looked at Fu Long.

"cut."

As Ying Gu made his move, Fu Long quickly rushed forward to meet him.

When I activated the Shadow Bone just now, half of my mental energy disappeared. Otherwise, with the ample preparation over the past few days, I would have had some difficulty controlling it.

Now, what he needs to do is to end the battle quickly.

Speed ​​is everything.

The nine-toothed rake collided with the opponent's samurai sword.

"Great Fireball." At close range, Shadowbone Fire directly spewed out fire.

Fu Long quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time, he reached out and struck his opponent with a poisonous thorn.

"Ah!" The speed was very fast, and the poisonous sting caused Ying Gu to suffer greatly.

Even with training, the Poison Sting of the Horse was incredibly painful, affecting Shadow Bone's offensive movements.

At that moment, Fu Long swept his rake across.

Bang! The shadow bone turned into a broken piece of wood, and the person had already retreated more than ten steps away.

His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals: "Ninjutsu, Fire Meteor, Disperse."

Fu Long immediately activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth; this was not the time for reflection.

Upon closer inspection, one realizes what the so-called fire meteor actually is.

Isn't it just a miniature version of an incendiary bomb, released all at once in all directions?

That's a fireball? You're kidding me.

As expected, the Kazekage style probably isn't very good at fire ninjutsu.

Fu Long also quickly approached.

"Fire Release Technique." Shadow Bone spotted a ball of flame and rushed towards it quickly.

Spider webs are afraid of fire, that shouldn't be a problem. As long as you have fire on you, you should be able to get out.

As expected, Fu Long was a step too slow in his pursuit. By the time he reached Ying Gu's previous position, Ying Gu had already rushed off in another direction.

The spiderwebs there were indeed burned open, and Shadow Bone laughed, shouting, "You think you can catch me like this? How naive!"

"You've been tricked." Fu Long smiled slightly.

Then, with a forceful pull in front of his navel, a spider silk appeared in front of him, right in front of Shadow Bone. Another spider web appeared, and one end of the web was still connected to Fu Long's navel.

At the other end was a nine-headed skull.

With a strong pull from Fu Long, the nine-headed skull, accompanied by a gust of wind, slammed towards Ying Gu.

Fu Long also threw the rake in his hand.

"Powerful bombardment."

Caught in a pincer attack, with Fu Long's strongest defense on one side and Ding Pa's offensive on the other, Ying Gu, suspended in mid-air, widened his eyes in disbelief. "Oh no, I can't escape now."

Chapter 69 The First Bounty Mission

In mid-air, Ying Gu quickly unleashed a burst of psychic energy to the side, using that small amount of power to dart away.

Boom! The nine-toothed rake collided with the nine-headed skull, and the rake was bounced off, falling back into Fu Long's hand.

The nine-headed skull flew towards Fu Long and then placed it around Fu Long's neck.

Looking at Ying Gu again, both of his legs were broken at the calves, and he fell to the ground, crying out in pain. This was a serious injury, and it was impossible for him to stand up.

"How did you determine that I escaped from there?" Ying Gu rolled over and turned to look at Fu Long, asking.

Fu Long slowly walked forward, but only to a safe distance, and said, "I don't know which way you're going, but when I was making these spider webs, I attached the nine-headed skull to the second layer of spider webs."

“When you choose a direction to escape, I can simply use my telekinesis to move the nine-headed skull to block your retreat. Then, I can simply run to where you were standing and connect the spider silk to form a pincer attack. So, why do you think I would run to where you were standing instead of jumping up to stop you?”

Ying Gu scoffed; he had been wondering about this as he fled.

Logically, after he escaped, the opponent should have chased him from the side. He had already prepared a way to deal with an enemy attacking from the side. Who would have thought that Fu Long would not play by the rules at all.

"Come on, I admit defeat. You're the first person to catch me. This life is yours."

"Then I'll accept it." Instead of advancing, Fu Long retreated a few steps and swung the rake in his hand at Ying Gu.

"Powerful bombardment."

Ying Gu was also startled, then pressed his hands on the ground, jumped up, and dodged to the side.

"As expected, you still have the ability to attack."

"Tch, you found out." Ying Gu was furious. He had been thinking that once the other party got close, he could catch him off guard and then escape. But he didn't expect Fu Long to be so cunning.

"Shrink." Fu Long grabbed with both hands, and the surrounding spider webs wrapped around Ying Gu.

Ying Gu dodged a few times, but since he was dodging with his hands, he wasn't as agile as with his feet. Before long, he was entangled, his whole body wrapped up like a rice dumpling, except for his head.

Fu Long then stepped forward, still using the nine-headed skull to defend against the opponent while approaching with a rake in hand.

"I will indeed take your heads, and also a token of the Wind Shadow School. Hand it over."

"It's definitely on me. Come and get it yourself." Shadow Bone sighed. Now, all was truly over.

Fu Long walked closer, glanced at Ying Gu, smiled, and nine skulls flew out, enveloping Ying Gu's head.

"You don't have a poison needle in your mouth, do you? I'm really sorry about that."

Ying Gu was both amused and exasperated. "You're being too cautious. Although there was indeed a poison needle in your mouth, it's useless now."

The Nine-Toothed Rake fell downwards, finally severing Shadow Bone's neck and obtaining the head. Fu Long immediately processed it and put it in a box.

The spiderwebs around him then unraveled, transforming into psychic energy that returned to Fu Long's body.

With his mental energy restored, Fu Long went forward to touch the corpse again and found Feng Yingliu's keepsake, which was just a small bamboo tag. However, it made Feng Yingliu particularly nervous, and he didn't know what was special about it.

It doesn't matter anymore; getting the item means I've got the bonus.

"White Dragon Horse." The White Dragon Horse appeared, and Fu Long mounted it. In an instant, the White Dragon Horse disappeared from the spot.

By this time, the people on the airship had already discovered that Shadowbone had disappeared.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, they returned to Rice's airport and carefully inspected the airship to confirm that there were no enemies on board.

"It seems that the other party pulled the person away from a distance. What kind of Nen ability is that, and how did they do it? If they have such an ability, then killing people is really quite simple."

The drunkard, now the chief strategist, was also squinting as he pondered.

The question now is whether to abandon Shadowbone and have everyone go back, or to go find Shadowbone.

"Let's find him. At the very least, we need to know what's going on before we dare to leave on the airship. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease sitting here."

Bingu was also terrified. This time, the shadow bone had disappeared, but what if the target was him? Could he escape? Obviously, it was simply unrealistic.

The drunkard nodded and said, "Since it's the other party's mental power, it proves that the other party is not far from our flight path. So, let's follow the route of the airship we just took. There are eleven of us, in two groups. Don't get separated. You should know that the other party is not an ordinary person. He has already killed more than a dozen of our candidate Yin Beasts."

"Yes," the candidate Yin Beasts all responded.

This time, no one objected. They used to think they were very capable, but now that death was imminent, they decided to give up and stay alive rather than do anything reckless.

The group dispersed, and three kilometers was not a long distance. At their speed, they quickly found the small temple.

The traces of the battle inside hadn't been cleaned up, and the drunkard, upon arriving, also took a sniff.

"It's Ying Gu, and there's another one, Fu Long."

"What?" Xiong looked at the drunkard. Was it Fu Long who did it?

The drunkard nodded; under his intoxicating aura, no other scent could escape the presence of these two.

"Found it, it's Shadow Bone's corpse."

Someone discovered the body. The drunkard looked at the headless corpse, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Fu Long must be a bounty hunter. Shadow Bone has a bounty, otherwise, he wouldn't have only taken the head."

"Should we give chase?"

"Why chase after them? Since they're not coming for us, let's ignore them and go."

The drunkard led the team back and told Bingo what had happened. Hearing that it was a bounty hunter's attempt to capture him, and that Shadowbone was already dead, Bingo couldn't say anything more.

Let's head back home.

On the other side, Fu Long found the location for the transaction, an unfinished building.

I don't know why the transaction was chosen to take place in this location.

Upon entering the building, several auras of telekinesis appeared all around.

"There's no need to be so wary."

"Please forgive us, we've been fooled by this traitor before, we're just being extra careful." A purple-clad ninja appeared in front of us.

A woman? Fu Long raised an eyebrow.

"Then, could you please show me your hunter's certificate?"

Fu Long nodded and showed the other person his hunter's license, but did not let go of it.

The female ninja quickly checked her laptop and then signaled the others to leave.

Fu Long handed over the severed head and the Wind Shadow Bamboo Token to the other party.
