Chapter 812: Iga Ninja
Before Qi Xuansu finished his sentence, he had already thrown a punch at the village elder.
The elder’s entire body collapsed instantly, a faint mist rippling around him like deflating skin. Moments later, he turned into a sheet of skin in clothes, drifting gently to the floor.
Han Yongfeng rushed forward, picked up the skin, and examined it. His face changed dramatically when he noticed it was not tanned hide nor synthetic leather, but freshly flayed human skin, still bloody and raw.
This was also why Qi Xuansu had attacked first. He was highly sensitive to the scent of blood.
Just then, a storm of flying needles shot toward them like rain.
Qi Xuansu stepped forward and thrust out both palms, conjuring a wall of qi that blocked the onslaught of needles.
Two blades suddenly stabbed through the floor. Without even glancing at them, Qi Xuansu balanced on one foot and kicked both sides, snapping the blades in half.
He followed with a powerful stomp. The entire building trembled, and blood began to seep up through the floor.
Clearly, someone had been hiding underground using Earth Escape Methods, trying to ambush him. But Qi Xuansu had crushed them to death. This saved them the time to dig up a grave.
Seeing how terrifying Qi Xuansu was, the hidden assailant who had launched the needle attack dared not linger. The shadow flickered and vanished in an instant.
Qi Xuansu did not bother giving chase. Instead, he instructed, “Search the area. Watch for booby traps.”
The others acknowledged in unison and spread out.
