Chapter Eighty-One: Ghost Shadow's Single Slash

  When Li Ling rushed to the edge of the oasis, he had no mood to appreciate the cool and refreshing feeling brought by the oasis, but instead thought of the central area of the oasis, rushing over, relying on his strong spiritual awareness, searching for a quiet shadow.

  After all, the fact that the female ninja could leave alone under her own high vigilance shows that her cultivation is above that of the male ninja.

  Once it comes to this, Mandrake is not easy to deal with.

  Suddenly, near a body of water in the oasis, Li Ling felt two strong killing intents spreading out, and it could be determined that one was from Mandrake, while the other was from the female ninja. The two engaged in a fierce battle about a kilometer away from the water's edge.

  Li Lingtu took a deep breath, raised his true energy once more, and used the Tian Gang Quan technique again. As he walked on the grassy ground, he moved as swiftly as the wind, whipping up a whirlwind of flying leaves.

  At the time of seeing Mandala fighting shadows, also saw quiet and Xiao Yuan, on the side anxious spectators, but can't help with anything.

  Mandala's forehead was covered in big sweat drops, clearly being forced into a very embarrassing situation. Every move of the opponent seemed to be extremely cunning, and every knife that came out was extremely sharp. There were too many fake moves, which also made it quite difficult for Mandala to cope.

  Li Ling rushed to the front of An Jing and Xiao Yuan.

  "Li Ling, Mandala's sister, can't hold on any longer, you'd better go help her quickly!" An Jing's face was filled with a look of urgent anxiety, clearly caused by excessive worry.

  Li Ling nodded and looked at Mandrake's difficult situation where he was using two cicada wing blades to prop up the opponent's ghost knife.

  Kokoro's blade is a deep black color, and in the light of the moon, it shines with an eerie, evil glow. It is said that it feeds on the spiritual energy of its wielder and those they fight to supplement its own power, making it Japan's one-of-a-kind demonic sword.

  "You killed Watanabe-kun." The black-clad female ninja said based on her own conjecture.

  "I'm afraid he's dead. Not a whole body." Li Ling calmly looked at the black-clothed female ninja, analyzing this guy's knife skills.

  "Watanabe-kun!" The black-clad female ninja shouted towards the sky, her grip on the Oni Blade tightening in an instant, and the eerie glow emanating from it seemed to surge up a lot in that same moment.

  Mantra was suddenly lifted by the opponent's power and was chopped to fly out, retreating more than a dozen steps before barely standing firm.

  "I'll avenge Wataru-kun, except for that woman, all of you must die." The black-clothed female ninja pointed at Anshin.

  "Oh...... is that so?" Li Ling said calmly. This black-clothed female ninja was able to force Mandala into such a sorry state, it's clear that she's an extraordinary ninja.

  In the long history of the Orient, there have been many formidable ninjas, such as Hattori Hanzo, who was revered by the people of the Orient as the God of Ninjas, and is said to have had incredible abilities.

  "Junzhi, this woman, I'll take care of her." Mandala's eyes calmly looked at the female ninja, and she reached out to stop Li Lingdao.

  Li Ling was taken aback, looking worriedly at Mandala. At this time, Mandala's body had many knife wounds, apparently far inferior to the female ninja in terms of combat skills.

  "Alright." Li Ling did not stop Mandala's decision, but instead silently retreated to the side and quietly watched.

  "Ling." Anjing looked at Ling, knowing that Ling was doing this to let Mandrake face his own enemy alone. On the path of battle, one could only truly grow by relying on their own strength to win.

  "Believe her!" Li Ling smiled slightly.

  "If you don't all come up now, you'll lose your chance in a moment." The black-robed female ninja inserted the Ghost Blade into the ground instantly. In an instant, the lush green grass on the surface turned into withered grass.

  "What kind of sorcery is this?" An Jing's eyes moved with a startled gaze at the other party's ghostly blade.

  "This is a demonic sword from the East, and as its name suggests, it's a sword of evil spirits. In ancient Eastern legends, demonic swords can absorb the spiritual energy of all living things to strengthen their own power. I think this female ninja must be absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy." Li Ling only gave a brief explanation about the demonic sword.

  Although Mandala found it unexpected, she wouldn't be too surprised. After all, she was also an existence even more evil than the Demon Sword.

  At the moment when the black-clad female ninja drew out the Onikiri, the black light on the Onikiri suddenly turned into a green glow. This sudden change in the intensity of the light left everyone present in astonishment.

  "Mandala's dagger, this time the blade may be coated with a deadly poison." Li Ling analyzed based on his own combat experience. Generally, the blade would only reflect a faint black glow in the moonlight at night, but if it was like this dagger, reflecting a green light, then it might be coated with fluorescent powder and poison.

  "Haha, poison is beneath me. This is the ultimate secret technique of our Eastern swordsmanship - Ghost Shadow Slash! You can all go to hell now!" The black-clad female ninja held the Ghost Blade and slashed at the air, unleashing a strange green blade that tore through the void.

  That green blade disappeared after flying out for one meter!

  "Could that be a sword aura?" Li Ling knew that some Eastern masters of the knife had an aura around their blades. And this female ninja's sword aura was within a range of one meter.

  "Be careful of the opponent's killing intent." Li Ling's voice turned into a line and transmitted into Mandala's ear, Mandala nodded slightly and focused on the enemy.

  "Kage no Ichigeki!" The black-clad female ninja shouted out the name of her secret technique, and her figure suddenly accelerated to high speed in an instant. To Li Ling and Mandra's eyes, it was a very fast movement, but to Anjing and Xiao Yuan's eyes, the opponent was just a vague shadow, and they couldn't see their movements at all.

  All of a sudden, there was a hissing sound in the air, and the black-clad female ninja had already drawn her sword, but only saw a shadow of the knife.

  Mandala barely saw the opponent's move, with both blades held horizontally in front of his chest. The ghostly knife's blade energy chopped down on the blade's surface, and the strong shock was like a heavy sniper bullet hitting the Cicada Wing Blade, causing it to fly out of his hand and spiral towards a withered tree, chopping into the dry wood.

  "Oni Kage no Ichigeki!" The black-clad female ninja seized the opportunity and struck again.

  Because the opponent was moving too fast, and also didn't know where the sword would come from, Mandala could only rely on her instincts, the sword wind in the air, barely dodging this attack. However, her shoulder was still injured by the sword energy.

  "What a fast knife." Li Ling's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he wasn't particularly worried about Mandrake's injuries. As long as Mandrake's head and heart were still intact, she could recover.

  A black-clad female ninja stood with her sword at the ready, and in the moonlight, both the sword and its wielder seemed eerily otherworldly. The sword, now stained with the blood of the mandrake, began to change color as well, shifting from its original green hue to a deep crimson. The black-clad female ninja's pupils also flashed red for an instant.

  "It turns out that this demon sword changes its light color according to the color it is stained with!" Li Ling was curious and wanted to know what kind of sword this demon sword was, which could have such a magical change.

  "Oni Kage Nito Ryu." The black-clad female ninja clasped her hands together, and the Onikiri blade split into two in an instant.

  Mandala on his forehead, sweat dripping down, how can he block the double-edged sword!
