Godslayer, This Is What a King Is

"Don't be afraid, attack together!!"

"No matter how strong he is, he's only one man. With more than a dozen of us attacking together, we can definitely hack that old master to death!"

At that moment, a blond wandering ninja whose strength was close to that of a Special Jonin shouted.

Then he charged at Ye Liangnai first, roaring, "Brat, die!"

Just as he rushed forward—

A ghostly voice came from behind Ye Liangnai. "Got him!"

A gaunt, pale-faced man gripped a gleaming kunai and was about to pierce Ye Liangnai's neck.

At the same time, the blond ninja had already reached him from the front.

No matter how one looked at it, Ye Liangnai was doomed, because there was no way he could deal with attacks from both sides at once.

Yes, this will work!

Die!

The surrounding wandering ninja grew excited at the sight, holding their breaths as they thought to themselves.

"Flash!"

With Ye Liangnai's cold, indifferent words, another icy glint flashed past the eyes of the wandering ninja at incredible speed.

Then, the expressions of the ninja behind Ye Liangnai and the blond ninja in front of him froze.

Bang!

Ye Liangnai sent them flying with a kick, blasting them away like sandbags.

The blond ninja was caught by the wandering ninja around him, but his eyes were filled with terror.

A bloody line on his neck rapidly widened.

Then, like a fountain, scarlet blood gushed out, obscuring the wandering ninja's vision.

"How could he... be so fast..."

The blond ninja muttered unwillingly before his head tilted to one side and he fell into the sea.

Gasp!!!

The wandering ninja's hair stood on end, cold sweat pouring out at once.

Then, without a second thought, they turned and ran.

There was no chance of winning. None at all!

Even that blond ninja, who possessed strength capable of contending with a Special Jonin, had failed.

How could the four of them, who were merely at Chunin level, possibly stand a chance?

Only by fleeing would they have a sliver of hope. Fighting head-on meant certain death.

But—

"Everyone, now that you've come all this way, wouldn't it be too heartless to leave just like that?"

Ye Liangnai's voice suddenly sounded behind them, making everyone's hair stand on end.

Damn it, I don't want to die here!

Faster, faster! Run faster! I absolutely can't die here!! they roared inwardly.

Their intense desire to live drove them to burst forth with speed beyond their limits.

"You're all quite fast. But unfortunately, it's still not enough!"

Ye Liangnai's voice came again like a maggot clinging to the bone, but this time, he gave them no chance to catch their breath.

Splat!

"Aaah!"

"No!"

After a series of scalp-numbing screams, the mist suddenly fell silent.

"So then, who's next?"

Ye Liangnai's voice rang out again, as terrifying as a devil's.

Paired with the scarlet blood mist, he truly did have the air of a god of slaughter.

"Quit being so arrogant, brat! Everyone attack together! I refuse to believe he can fight a hundred of us alone!"

At that moment, a steady voice sounded.

"That's right! Attack together and show him what we're made of!" Another voice echoed in agreement.

"That's right, attack together!"

"Brat, die!"

One call drew a hundred responses!

Heaven-shaking cries suddenly erupted from within the mist, their morale soaring.

Then, a crowd of people charged in to surround and attack him, killing intent boiling over.

"Heh heh heh, it seems you still haven't understood the gap between us!"

Ye Liangnai let out a low chuckle. "Since that's the case, I'll make you understand what true assassination is!"

Of all things, they should not have used the Mist Concealment Technique.

Within the Mist Concealment Technique, he was the true king!

Shing!

And so, the battle began!

But before Tenshin and the others could go support Ye Liangnai, chilling sounds had already begun to ring out continuously from within the mist.

Splat!

Riiip!

Crack!

The sounds of flesh being torn apart continued to echo through the increasingly crimson mist.

Within the fog, a phantom moved like a god. No one could stop him as he swept through everything in his path.

Behind him, figures fell one after another, and the mist grew ever redder.

Tenshin immediately ordered everyone to remain where they were and not act rashly.

So this is the authentic Mist Concealment assassination technique. It's truly terrifying!

I absolutely must not fight him inside the Mist Concealment Technique. Otherwise, even I wouldn't have much chance of winning.

As he was thinking this, turmoil began to stir within the mist.

"Devil! That guy is a devil!"

"Run, hurry and run! We're no match for him at all!"

A whole group had been utterly routed by a single person, scattering in every direction.

"Mist Concealment Technique... quickly dispel the Mist Concealment—aaah!!"

Before a wandering ninja could finish speaking, he screamed and fell.

Ye Liangnai's voice came again. "Dispel it? That would be far too boring, wouldn't it?"

"How suitable this mist is for hunting. How fitting for assassination techniques!"

Ye Liangnai spoke such terrifying words as if they were nothing more than everyday conversation.

Not only were the enemies terrified—even Tenshin and the other allies felt a chill run through their hearts!

"This..."

Ao Liu Yi and his teammates exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

This was not a battle at all. It was completely one-sided slaughter. There was no chance to fight back!

They had originally cursed Ye Liangnai for overestimating himself and prepared to go support him.

Could one person possibly deal with so many enemies?

A person should not be so conceited.

Yet the situation before them made one thing abundantly clear—

Ye Liangnai was not being conceited. He truly possessed this kind of strength.

He could fight a hundred alone and still hold an absolute advantage!

"Aaah!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"No!"

The slaughter continued within the mist, and Tenshin did not allow Ao Liu Yi and the others to join in.

Under the current circumstances, it was better to let Ye Liangnai do what he did best!

"Mist Concealment Technique, dispel!"

Seeing that they had no advantage left, the remaining Mist Ninja hurriedly found an opening to dispel the Mist Concealment Technique.

But when the scene before them was revealed, they all shuddered involuntarily.

The surrounding sea was scarlet, filled with floating corpses that made one want to vomit.

"God... Godslayer...!"

A wandering ninja stared at the blood-covered Ye Liangnai and spoke in terror.

In just two minutes, more than eighty people had been reduced to twelve. Their strength was all roughly at the Special Jonin level.

Perhaps it was only because they were stronger that they had survived.

Gulp!

Ao Liu Yi could not help but swallow hard. Cold sweat formed on his forehead as terror filled his eyes.

Godslayer—there could not have been a more fitting description!

That record was simply too terrifying!
