Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 553 - 550: Sudden Downpour! [Second Update]

Facing the blockade of the Earth Shadow Ninja, Li Chen did not pause at all. The Green Rainbow Sword emitted a dazzling light of several feet, like Pangu creating the heavens and the earth, and furiously slashed down.

With this sword strike, the majestic mountain of the Earth Shadow Ninja crumbled as if it had encountered a landslide, causing him to stagger back and vomit blood on the spot.

"Die!"

Before the Earth Shadow Ninja could stabilize his body, Li Chen swung his sword again.

Li Chen was too fast; the Earth Shadow Ninja couldn’t even dodge in time, instinctively raising his remaining arm in a futile attempt to block this deadly sword.

The Dragon Abyss Sword, being an Ancient Divine Weapon, easily cuts through iron as if it were mud. Even though the Earth Shadow Ninja was a Divine-level Master, his mere flesh and blood couldn’t withstand the edge of the Divine Weapon.

"Crack!"

The Dragon Abyss Sword sliced through as easily as cutting tofu, splitting the Earth Shadow Ninja’s arm along with half of his body cleanly into two.

"Pu!"

Blood gushed out, brilliant and glaring like roses blooming on a snowy mountain.

"Ah, no..."

The Earth Shadow Ninja let out his final desperate cry in life and collapsed into a puddle of mud on the ground.

One of Japan’s Five Great Sealed Ninja, the Earth Shadow Ninja, dead!

The sudden death of the Earth Shadow Ninja shocked all the Japanese Warriors, causing their eyes to bulge in horror.

After today’s battle, even if they succeeded in killing Immortal Master Li, the strength of Japan’s Martial Arts would be severely damaged. It would take them decades to recover to their former peak strength.

With the Earth Shadow Ninja killed, the elite Divine Wind Special Team of the 13th Division was almost entirely wiped out, and Martial Arts Experts like those from the Iga Palace had suffered more than half casualties.

Even Huo Wu, no matter how arrogant, wouldn’t dare to confront Immortal Master Li, who was now bloodthirsty, alone.

It seemed that to besiege Immortal Master Li, they would need to invite the other three Sealed Ninja to come out of their retirement.

After weighing the pros and cons, Huo Wu instantly made a decision and ordered, "Retreat!"

At Huo Wu’s command, Miyamoto Chuan and the others fled toward the exit of the Underground Palace as if escaping from hell, tripping over each other in their haste.

Li Chen did not pursue; after casually swinging his sword to kill two who were slow to escape, he quickly rushed over to Jiao Long, who was lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing.

"Little Dragon, how are you?"

Jiao Long rolled over, struggled up from the ground, and roared twice towards the exit of the Underground Palace, indicating it could still fight.

Li Chen checked his wounds and saw that although Jiao Long was covered in blood, most injuries were superficial and hadn’t reached any vital points. Relieved, he said:

"Stay still and open your mouth!"

Jiao Long obediently opened its mouth wide and even made an "ah ah ah" sound from its throat.

Li Chen took out several pills used for healing and stuffed them into Jiao Long’s mouth.

Jiao Long chewed happily, enjoying the taste enormously.

After finishing, it opened its mouth again, signaling Li Chen to give it a few more pills to eat.

"You glutton, these are pills. Too much of a good thing is bad, you can’t eat too many!"

After being scolded by Li Chen, Jiao Long sulkily lowered its head.

Soon after, it crawled over to the body of a Martial Artist, sniffed him a couple of times, and then started to chew vigorously.

Being a mutated species of an Ancient Fierce Beast, it inherited the devouring evolution talent from its cheap old dad, allowing it to absorb power by consuming corpses.

To put it simply, the more powerful and recently deceased the original owner of the corpse was, the more energy it gained, and vice versa.

After devouring two corpses continuously, seeing that Li Chen was still staring, Jiao Long forcibly tore off a bloody arm with its claws and handed it to Li Chen, smacking its lips as if to say: this stuff is delicious, very fresh, do you want to try some?

Li Chen felt his stomach churn and almost vomited, quickly moving back and also hurriedly focusing on healing his injuries.

He is now essentially trapped here; if the four Sealed Ninja gather together, he is almost certainly doomed.

Now, he is truly gambling!

Gambling on whether Heavenly Thunder or the four Sealed Ninja will come first?

And the stake is his life!

...

Meanwhile, outside the Underground Palace, Japanese Warriors looked utterly defeated, heads hung low in dismay.

The ferocity of Immortal Master Li and the terror of Jiao Long still left them shuddering in fear as they recalled it.

Miyamoto Chuan, anxious and trembling, asked Huo Wu, "Lord Fire Shadow, almost two days have passed. Hovering like this isn’t a solution. Do you know when the other three Lords will arrive?"

Huo Wu, eyes wide with anger, demanded, "Miyamoto Chuan, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning our Ninja Family?"

Miyamoto Chuan, terrified, shook his head repeatedly, "Not at all, I’m just worried that the longer we wait, the more likely Immortal Master Li will escape!"

Huo Wu scoffed, "Rest assured, General Yamamoto has sealed off Mount Fuji so tightly, not even a fly can escape, and Immortal Master Li is utterly trapped!"

With that, she disregarded Miyamoto Chuan and walked towards her residence.

As she passed the Sakura Garden, she saw Miyamoto Sakura alone, looking up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle.

Huo Wu approached with a smirk, "Princess, you’re truly in high spirits, still finding time to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"

Miyamoto Sakura saw Huo Wu and bowed, "Miyamoto Sakura greets Lord Fire Shadow!"

Huo Wu nodded slightly, acknowledging the greeting.

"Princess, your Sakura Slash seems to have reached a sublime level. If you strike with full force, even that beast’s Scale Armor, solid as rock, would probably perish!"

After that, she gave Miyamoto Sakura a meaningful look.

Miyamoto Sakura’s heart skipped a beat, and she laughed awkwardly, "Lord Fire Shadow flatters me, I am nowhere near your level!"

Huo Wu smiled, "Princess, you are still young. Your future is boundless, and your accomplishments will certainly not be lesser than your grandfather’s!"

Miyamoto Sakura smiled graciously, bowed deeply, "I cherish your good words, Lord Fire Shadow!"

After saying this, she again looked up at the sky.

Huo Wu, somewhat surprised, asked, "Princess, you’ve been staring at the sky all this time. What fascination does the sky hold that captivates you so?"

Miyamoto Sakura pointed upwards with her slender jade-like fingers, "It’s going to rain!"

Huo Wu was stunned, "Rain? During the rainy season, it almost rains daily, what’s so unusual about that?"

Miyamoto Sakura shook her head, "This time it’s different!"

Huo Wu inquired, "What’s the difference?"

Miyamoto Sakura shook her head again, "I’m not sure of the specifics, but I know my grandfather is very concerned about the arrival of this storm!"

"Furthermore, I think Immortal Master Li is also waiting for this storm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have holed up in the Underground Palace all this time!"

Huo Wu, puzzled, asked, "You mean to say, Immortal Master Li will try to escape the Underground Palace tonight during the storm?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Before Miyamoto Sakura could reply, Huo Wu scoffed, "Don’t worry, General Yamamoto’s reorganized A-type Division has laid a perfect ambush outside. Should Immortal Master Li dare to step out, he will definitely find no grave for his body!"

"Moreover, by dawn tomorrow, the other three of our Ninja Family’s Great Sealed Ninja will also have arrived. By then, even if that Immortal Master Li defies the natural order, he still faces certain death!"

Before her words could settle, a deep thunderous rumble came rolling from the dense clouds.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, a silver-white bolt of lightning tore through the sky, lighting up the entire night with a ghastly pale glow.

The real storm was about to begin!
