"What?"

Almost at the same time, Iga TobiRyuu who stopped at that same place was startled.

And yet.

At that moment.

Iga TobiRyuu and two Ninja Lords suddenly constricted their pupils.

The three of them saw clearly that the muscles of Jack's right hand rose up massively, and waved and yanked behind him with a tremendous force!

Crunch...

In the silent bamboo forest, a piercing sound suddenly echoed.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The bamboos, with the sound, shook and snapped apart like a mountain, covering and swallowing down everything in the direction of the two Ninja Lords. That sudden change made the two Ninja Lords exclaim at the same time.

Facing the overwhelming collapse of the bamboos, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

However.

When the two of them wanted to rush out of the range of the bamboo's "threat", a sensation of cold swept from the sole of the foot to the top of the skull. Because they were surprised to realize that every bamboo that broke and fell down just blocked their way out!

That made them have no way to go back during that fast collapse!

Crash...

When the bamboos fell, the branches crossed each other and collided.

The loud sound of the bamboo cracking echoed in the forest.

All that happened in just a blink of an eye.

After that "boom" sound, dozens of bamboos thoroughly landed, like a collapsing mountain, and the two Ninja Lords were buried in it.

At the same moment, the screams of the two Ninja Lords sounded in the bamboos.

And with that.

The bamboos were dead silent again.

"What's going on?"

Iga TobiRyuu was completely stunned, and his eyes, the only part visible on his masked face, had a shocked expression.

He had no idea about what was happening and how Jack was able to do that.

The crushing of the bamboo was not enough to kill those two companions on the spot, but it created an effective stall.

But now, Iga TobiRyuu didn't care anymore about what Jack was up to, but he was curious to know how Jack did it!

As Jack flew away, he waved the bamboo with his right hand and tapped the other bamboos quickly along the way. Iga TobiRyuu was keeping his eyes on that weird action. Anyway, he was sure that those quick strikes would never make the bamboos completely collapse in an instant just with the waving of Jack's arms.

"Listen!"

Distant far away, Jack was laughing.

Iga TobiRyuu's body shook, and his brows furrowed extremely.

He listened hurriedly and carefully.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, in the darkness, there was a faint wind crackling.

The sound was so subtle that if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't hear it at all!

Wait!

That was...

Iga TobiRyuu's eyes lit up with fear and his body, wrapped in tight ninja dress, began to tremble faintly.

His eyes were glued to Jack's face.

Faintly visible, Jack's right hand moved slightly.

"Your fish scale strings?"

Iga TobiRyuu let out a loud scream of fear, so much so that his voice became hoarse.

At that moment, he understood instantly as if he was suddenly enlightened.

It was impossible to provoke all that just by beating on the bamboos.

But it could be done by wrapping the fish scale strings around each of the bamboos as they were struck, using the sound of the beating on the bamboos as a cover! Striking the bamboos would not cause the bamboos to break in an instant, but a powerful blow would be enough to shatter the fibrous structure in the points where they were struck, and then they would be wound by the fish scale strings. In an instant, he would be able to break ns of bamboos in an instant just using a minimal force, create that appalling spectacle.

When Iga TobiRyuu figured it out, he gave Jack a different look.

In his eyes, there was shock, disbelief, and even some fear...

None of the intelligence information they had received about Jack matched the real Jack.

Before his arrival, they calculated the risks and difficulties of killing Jack basing on the reminders of Iga Tobikou and the two Ninja Lords.

So, that time, there were three Ninja Lords leading eighteen Ninja masters swarming forward.

Anyway, the way Iga TobiRyuu was looking at Jack at that moment was hard to describe.

On his back, he even felt cold.

If all that was provoked by a smart and experienced strong warrior, he would never have such a feeling, but he would see it as reasonable.

But in front of him, there was Jack, a guy who was less than thirty years old!

The intelligence also showed that the time of his transformation was within this year or more.

His mind, calculation, and determination...just provoked that scaring scene.

Iga TobiRyuu was already considered the best of the Iga Clan. He knew himself that he did not have that ability of calculation and calmness when he was at Jack's age and in such a deadly situation. Clang!

Iga TobiRyuu suddenly brandished his katana and let out a piercing roar in the air. owns all © content.

Then he moved his right foot towards Jack.

He said softly, "Your majestic temperament, discernment and abilities shocked me. Among all the people of your age, I, Iga TobiRyuu, respect you as the strongest one!"

Iga TobiRyuu pronounced those words from the bottom of his heart.

As a man having a rich combat experience, that scene was enough to make him praise Jack in that way!

"Should I be happy or unhappy that my opponent who wants to kill me is praising me?"

Jack rubbed his nose and smiled playfully.

He didn't mind to talk more to Iga TobiRyuu. No matter if they were good or bad people, everyone would die from talking too much. But at some point, like right now, talking more could help him buy more time. "For a Ninja, this is your supreme glory!"

"I wonder if you can keep absolutely calm until the day you will die" Iga TobiRyuu said. He surged fiercely, and a violent roar under his feet rolled up some bamboo big leaves.

Buzz!

He just finished speaking.

Iga TobiRyuu rushed to a place less than five meters away from Jack.

Unexpectedly, he lifted the katana and dropped it, and then he suddenly slashed down with a violent rage.

Boom...

The katana was far less than Jack was, but when it fell, an overwhelming gust of wind provoked by its lethality drove some thick bamboo leaves on the ground into a gully, directly towards Jack. "Lethality?!"

Jack's expression changed dramatically, and for an instant, he was tense, as if he were held captive by a killing intent.

He had already seen the same scene!

When Isaac Wells used his 'Killer God's Slash', he could obtain that kind of effect!

The katana of Iga TobiRyuu was definitely not as good as that of Isaac, but its lethality would be enough to kill!

The whistling of the katana sounded in the ears.

Facing the overwhelming lethality of the katana, Jack got gooseflesh.

"Break it!"

With a piercing roar, Jack bowed sharply, and the bamboo in his hand cleaved the air directly in front of him like a sword.

Boom!

There was an explosion.

The bamboo was blown apart by the lethality of the katana.

Immediately.

Puff!

A tuft of blood suddenly sprayed across the air in the dark bamboo forest.☐☐☐☐
