Chapter 117
"Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!" Saitama shouted, naming the technique clearly as he channeled Chidori into his sword.
"Zzzap!"
The shinobi sword instantly flared with a dazzling glow as the electrical current surged along its edge.
"Tch—!" Wuli Jinpachi’s pupils shrank. He instinctively released the Blastsword: Shibuki, but it was too late. Saitama’s blade bypassed the falling weapon and slashed directly toward his chest.
"Get back!"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Saitama—it was Kushimaru Kuriarare, the wielder of the Nuibari, the long needle-like sword with wire thread.
"Fwoosh!"
Saitama heard the air slicing behind him and quickly sidestepped, barely evading the incoming thrust. However, the interruption gave Jinpachi just enough time to twist his body and narrowly avoid a fatal blow. Still, Saitama’s strike slashed across his shoulder, leaving a deep wound as blood splattered out.
"Gahh!"
Wuli Jinpachi howled in pain and stumbled backward, his Blastsword clattering to the ground near Saitama’s feet.
"Clang!"
As the sword grazed the enemy’s shoulder, Saitama frowned. He immediately turned and slashed in a wide arc to intercept Kuriarare’s incoming Nuibari strike.
