Chapter 1166: Chapter 1181: Besieged (Seventh Update)

Four ninjas dressed in black, clad in profound clothes and wielding profound blades, revealing only their eyes. Their faces and mouths hidden, they raised their Eastern Sabers high, blocking Lin Mu’s path.

Lin Mu found his path blocked by the four ninjas, forcing him to perform a front flip to leap and land steadily on the ground, while the four ninjas instantly raised their sabers, appearing at four different positions around Lin Mu.

Lin Mu stood motionless in the middle of the four ninjas, calmly observing their movements.

"Damn, four against one, I’ll take care of you," Gray Wolf said and was about to charge forward.

"Gray Wolf," Lin Mu shouted, stopping Gray Wolf.

"Uh..." Gray Wolf was just about to charge forward when Lin Mu stopped him.

"I can handle this here, you should immediately go with Golden Wolf to the Imperial Club to find Man Luo. Uro Iji is not here, he’s surely the one who took Man Luo. You must be cautious of him, especially his shooting skills, understand?" Lin Mu instructed.

"Got it, boss, but what about you?" Gray Wolf asked.

"I can handle this alone. You two go to rescue Man Luo; if you fail, you’ll never make a name for yourselves in the martial world," Lin Mu said.

"Okay, boss, don’t worry, I promise to rescue her," Gray Wolf said, then called out to Golden Wolf, and the two leaped away from the scene.

Now, only Lin Mu remained, standing alone against the four elite ninjas brought by Jinye. The bodyguards brought by Jinye were just for show; the real strength behind Jinye came from these four ninjas. Lin Mu felt that the skills of these four ninjas surpassed those of the previous two who had attacked him.

This presented a challenge for Lin Mu. The skills of Eastern Ninja were unpredictable, and their ninjutsu was extremely advanced. Whether it was the Eastern Saber or Ninja Shuriken, extra caution was needed, yet Lin Mu remained standing calmly, observing. The four ninjas, sabers in hand, stared intently at Lin Mu.

Both sides attempted to find flaws in their opponent, the atmosphere growing tense. A gentle breeze seemed to break the silence, as the surrounding air currents began to flow, and the four ninjas’ figures started to spiral around Lin Mu.

The rotation speed of the four ninjas increased, becoming faster and faster, turning the surroundings into a blur, making it difficult to discern their specific positions.

Lin Mu did not rely on his eyes to observe their phantom forms. Eastern Ninja’s Phantom Body Technique resembled a Blinding Technique. To counter such ninjutsu, Lin Mu recalled earlier teachings from the old master, advising not to rely on sight but to employ his Seventh Sense to perceive changes and attacks.

Therefore, Lin Mu slowly closed his eyes, using his mind to feel the powerful aura. According to standard ninja rankings, they divide into Upper, Middle, and Lower Ninja. The current four ninjas could essentially be classified as Upper Ninja, and their combined attack power shouldn’t be underestimated.

Suddenly, Lin Mu abruptly opened his eyes, sensing that the four powerful currents had instantaneously paused, with the surrounding air freezing. The four ninjas were already lunging towards him.

Lin Mu leaped upwards, soaring over two meters high. At that moment, the figures of the four ninjas manifested in the center, their blades unified. The combined strength of the four Upper Ninjas was terrifying.

Had Lin Mu reacted even a fraction slower, he might have been pierced through with holes by the four ninjas. Having leaped up, Lin Mu quickly descended onto the blades of the four ninjas, executed a swift front flip, and landed behind them at lightning speed.

The four ninjas swiftly turned, instantly aligning in a row, and in the next moment, the four living figures vanished into thin air, damn it, they completely disappeared!

Based on the previous attack moves of the two ninjas, Lin Mu knew the opponent employed ninjutsu and predicted their appearance before him the following second.

Sure enough, the four ninjas flickered before Lin Mu in the blink of an eye, Eastern Saber in hand, stabbing towards him.

Lin Mu was prepared, quickly bending down, supporting himself with one hand, sweeping out with his Iron Leg Skill towards their domain. The four ninjas swiftly scattered, while Lin Mu advanced, engaging in a fierce battle with them.

Instantly, the surrounding air currents became unpredictable, bodies collided continuously, producing several dull echoes. One must admit, the four ninjas were indeed masters among Upper Ninja. Amidst their siege, Lin Mu achieved a stalemate with them. Meanwhile, using their Invisibility Technique in unison, the four ninjas prevented Lin Mu from launching a fatal attack.

Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf had already gone to rescue Man Luo. Uro Iji had yet to appear, leaving Lin Mu concerned. After all, Uro Iji was no simple opponent, especially with his sinister shooting style that was hard to counter. If Golden Wolf and Gray Wolf encountered him, they would certainly be at a disadvantage, with a significant chance of injury.

But Lin Mu was entangled with the four ninjas and had no strategy against them for now.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital International Club, the sound of hurried brakes marked the arrival of several cars without license plates, parked in front of the club.

In an instant, a group of masked men emerged from the cars, numbering about twenty or so.

These twenty men, after exiting the cars, did not enter the club but began to scale the building from the side wall. Evidently trained in special forces tactics, they ascended the ten-story building effortlessly, like Spider-Man.

In the blink of an eye, the twenty men swiftly reached the top of the building, half of them entering the ninth floor through windows, the other half proceeding to rooms on the tenth floor.

The ten or so who entered the tenth floor spread out rapidly, searching around. Their target was the DNA-catalyzing enzyme. This time, the Iron Blood Corps dispatched twenty elite soldiers to acquire the DNA-catalyzing enzyme.

The Iron Blood members quickly scattered, searching the rooms, while the ten or so who entered the ninth floor cautiously approached the guest rooms on the tenth floor, aiming to kidnap Fangzi to leverage against the Jushi Association. Despite falling foul of Uro Iji, seizing his sister offered a strong guarantee.

At this moment, Fangzi was reading in her room when the door was suddenly broken open, and more than ten special forces soldiers charged in.

"Ah..." Fangzi gasped, then looked at the intruders and asked, "Who, who are you?"

"You don’t need to know who we are. What you must do now is cooperate with us, or don’t blame me for being unkind!"
