Chapter 438: Counterattack
Thud, thud, thud...
Just as Yamamoto Yezi was about to check on Xia Liu's condition,
suddenly, a series of clapping sounds echoed from the entrance.
Yezi turned her gaze and saw a woman with a captivating figure approaching.
She wore contact lenses, and her purple hair and clothes made her look like a seductive beauty straight out of an anime. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Yezi, congratulations on completing the mission," she said.
"Ruyan, he seemed much simpler than you imagined," Yezi said with a smile as she checked Xia Liu's condition.
"Simple? Maybe your bewitching technique was too powerful. His strength is terrifying, even my grandfather Yagyū Taikō couldn't match him," Yagyū Ruyan recalled the battle between Xia Liu and her grandfather, a sense of fear creeping into her heart.
She was in regular contact with her grandfather. Xia Liu had injured Grandfather's Godslayer with a strange object, and it had not yet recovered, rapidly weakening to below Earth Rank.
"Heh, men from Huaxia are all the same, they can't move when they see a beauty. I just slightly used my bewitching technique, and he obediently drank the poison," Yamamoto Yezi giggled.
"Fine, since he's poisoned with the Cherry Blossom Poison, his death is certain. Let's leave," Ruyan didn't want to see Xia Liu anymore.
It reminded her of Xia Liu's majestic form during the battle with Grandfather, and of what happened by the hot springs.
"I also added some drugs to his drink. When he wakes up, all his cultivation power will dissipate, posing no threat to us. We might as well take him to a room and record a video for the Family to prove our capabilities," Yezi proposed.
"Oh Yezi, even now you're thinking of showing off," Ruyan sighed softly, then her eyes lit up, "But I like it!"
Subsequently, Yagyū Ruyan and Yamamoto Yezi, each supporting him on one side, carried Xia Liu from the private room to another room.
"So soft!" Xia Liu, feigning unconsciousness, couldn't help but admire inwardly.
Unlike the others, Yagyū Ruyan and Yamamoto Yezi's skin were extremely smooth and very soft.
Even around their necks and shoulders, and when close to them, a faint, unique fragrance seemed to emanate from their bodies.
Now, there was only one word in Xia Liu's mind — thrilling!
Yagyū Ruyan was an Earth-Rank Ninja, and her strength was terrifying. Even without Yamamoto Yezi's help, she could carry Xia Liu to the room on her own.
As for Yamamoto Yezi, she hadn't cultivated her physical body, preferring to focus on bewitching techniques, or Pupil Skills.
This ninjutsu, when cultivated to its peak, could induce illusions with just a glance, and even control the opponent's mind.
Through the conversations of the two women, Xia Liu realized why he had been so struck by Yezi at first sight.
It was because of her technique!
However, the technique didn't have much of an effect on Xia Liu.
Or rather, Yamamoto Yezi's rank was too low.
If it had been a high-rank Pupil Skill Ninja, Xia Liu would have noticed immediately.
After getting Xia Liu into the room, Yagyū Ruyan casually tossed him onto a fluffy carpet.
"Phew... finally back. Ruyan, I'm going to take a shower first. After, let's record a video for him to prove our capabilities!" Yamamoto Yezi, after catching her breath, shed her clothes and walked into the bathroom.
"Ah, if only he hadn't injured my grandfather, if only he hadn't killed so many ninjas from the Yamamoto Family..." Watching Xia Liu lying on the ground, Ruyan poured herself a glass of red wine, gazing at his sleeping form.
To be honest, letting Xia Liu die like this made her feel somewhat regretful, because Xia Liu was her first man.
Perhaps he could be the last one.
It's a pity that Xia Liu is not a cooperating family on Huaxia's side. Otherwise, she might have fallen for him and, over time, possibly even come to love him.
"Actually, I think we could sit down and have a proper conversation, but your tactics make me feel quite unfriendly," she said.
Just as Yagyū Ruyan gently tapped her glass, a magnetic voice burst into her ears.
In an instant, Yagyū Ruyan's pupils shrank sharply, and her jade hand moved to her thigh, attempting to take down the kunai tied there.
But her movement was clearly slow. By the time her palm touched the kunai, a warm, large hand covered her own.
Yagyū Ruyan looked up to see a stern face that she could never forget in her lifetime.
She could even smell the scent of cigarettes and red wine he was breathing out.
Unimaginably, she had witnessed Xia Liu down all the poison herself; the cup contained Cherry Blossom Poison and a potent sleeping drug. How could this man be awake and possess such immense strength without an antidote?
Yes, no matter how hard Yagyū Ruyan tried, she couldn't free herself from Xia Liu's strong grip.
"Ah umm umm…" Just when Yagyū Ruyan wanted to shout to let Yamamoto Yezi know the situation on the scene, the quick-reacting Xia Liu immediately covered her mouth.
"Want to scream? Weren't you acting all mighty just now? Even wanted to record a video of me? Alright, now I'm quite interested in filming a love action movie with you," he said.
Speaking, Xia Liu's palm moved like a phantom, and the sound of tearing echoed distinctly within the room.
In less than half a second, Yagyū Ruyan had her shirt ripped off by Xia Liu.
Seizing the opportunity, Yagyū Ruyan silently recited an oral formula, followed by a burst of blinding white light from her body.
This was the rhythm of summoning Godslayer!
Xia Liu remained utterly unphased. Godslayer?
What kind of thing was that? Once the Golden Spirit Sword was released, it would incinerate her completely.
Actually, Yagyū Ruyan didn't even have the chance to truly summon Godslayer, because her hands were controlled by Xia Liu, making it impossible for her to form seals, let alone summon Godslayer.
She couldn't even perform basic Ninjutsu.
Now, she could only erupt with her ninja energy, trying to scare Xia Liu away, but how could her courage and cultivation power intimidate him, a man not just any primary-level Earth-Rank ninja.
"Ruyan, are you alright?" Just as Xia Liu was about to take off Yagyū Ruyan's pants, suddenly a puzzled voice came from the bathroom.
"Hmph! Yezi, right? I'll start with you then!" Xia Liu glanced toward the direction of the bathroom, then his fingers turned into sword fingers as he gathered energy and increased strength, pressing a few points on Yagyū Ruyan's body.
By the time Yagyū Ruyan's eyes glazed over, Xia Liu removed his hand.
"Err err err…" Yagyū Ruyan tried hard to open her mouth to speak, but in the end, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her mouth.
She could feel a powerful force locking up her body, making it impossible for her to move.
She could only watch helplessly as Xia Liu gradually approached the bathroom.
"Ruyan, don't scare me, please respond," Yamamoto Yezi didn't get any answer, so she turned off the hot water, wrapped herself in a white towel, and opened the bathroom door.
The moment she opened the door, all movement ceased.
