Chapter 137: Skirmish
Duy's Leaf Whirlwind was thwarted by an Earth-Style Wall created through the synchronized efforts of several Shadow Guard ninjas. Seizing the opportunity, Pakura launched an attack using her Scorch Release.
Feeling the unsettling heat coursing through his body, Duy swiftly evaded. This woman's techniques are bizarre. Thankfully, Sakumo had briefed him on Pakura's abilities before the mission.
Unable to land her strike, Pakura quickly withdrew into formation. She knew she was no match for Duy in a one-on-one confrontation. This man is terrifyingly strong—a pure Taijutsu specialist. How did he train himself to this level?
Her gaze lingered on Duy's glowing, all-white eyes and the vibrant green energy radiating from his body. A pang of anxiety struck her. He's as formidable as Sakumo!
"Morning Peacock!"
Since Pakura showed no signs of attacking again, Duy took the initiative. In the next instant, a storm of fiery fist shadows erupted, cascading like a relentless waterfall. His hoarse roar reverberated across the battlefield.
Da-da-da~
Pakura's expression turned grim as she watched the hundreds of flaming punch shadows surging toward her. Each one radiated immense strength and scorching heat, eerily reminiscent of her own Scorch Release.
Realizing escape was impossible—Duy was too fast—Pakura braced herself to endure the onslaught.
"Block!"
The Shadow Guard sprang into action. Their hands joined in unison, channeling chakra into one of their comrades who possessed the Sand-Style.
