Chapter 21: Silent Farewell
"Go to hell!"
Shimada Hideo unleashed a swarm of tentacles from his hands, transforming them into razor-sharp blades as they lunged at Su Xiuyu and Lei Gang.
"Lei Gang, watch how you handle your blade."
Su Xiuyu drew his chakra blade, its edge infused with wind chakra, making it razor-sharp. The tentacles stood no chance; every strike cleaved through them effortlessly.
"Damn it! What kind of weapon is this?! Why can't I stop it?! You're just a inferior human—you shouldn't be this strong!" Shimada Hideo roared in frustration, unable to accept reality.
"Where did you even come from?!"
Su Xiuyu was done playing with this parasite. "Lightning Style: Ground Current."
A controlled surge of lightning danced through the air, striking Shimada Hideo without delivering a fatal blow. The parasite-wielding man screamed as he hit the ground, his body smoldering from the electric shock. Despite his injuries, his unnatural vitality kept him alive. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to rise, preparing for another attack.
"Lei Gang, take this chance to practice. Don't let your guard down, even if he looks like he's dying," Su Xiuyu instructed.
"Got it, Captain."
Lei Gang understood this was a rare opportunity. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have had the chance to fight at all.
