The Terrifying Flying Thunder God Technique

"Damn it!" Seeing the round objects fired from the barrels formed by Yueguang Han's hands, the Sand Shinobi cursed loudly.

Unfortunately, although they had seized the opportunity and timed it well, Yueguang Han's attack was simply too fast. It was so fast that they had only just emerged from the ground, with only a few having leaped into the trees to shake off the paralysis from Lightning Release: Earth Run. They had not even had time to form hand seals before Yueguang Han's attack had already been fired.

Even the Kunai they managed to throw immediately were bound to miss after Yueguang Han abruptly retreated more than ten meters through the air.

They finally came out! Watching the Sand Shinobi emerge from underground, a smile appeared on Yueguang Han's lips. Those Sand Shinobi hiding beneath the earth had always been a hidden danger. He was not afraid of them himself, but Yueguang Xingye and the other two could not handle them.

The next instant, Yueguang Han curled up in midair. The manifested Flying Thunder God Technique was dismissed and transformed into M249 LMGs, while his feet transformed into Barretts. Though he was controlling four guns at once, such an operation was not difficult with the T800's crystal core. The only drawback was slightly reduced accuracy.

"Not good, take cover!" The Sand Shinobi on the ground also noticed that Yueguang Han's limbs had once again turned into the weapons they had seen before. Alarm bells instantly rang in their minds, and they hurriedly sought cover beneath the surrounding trees or prepared to endure the lightning and burrow underground again.

Unfortunately, because Yueguang Han was in the air this time, the trees could no longer completely conceal them. Meanwhile, the Lightning Release cast by Yueguang Shiya and Yueguang Long had yet to dissipate from the ground.

Earth Style: Earth Spear!

Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

Some Sand Shinobi gritted their teeth and continued completing their ninjutsu, prepared to take a gamble.

"Ratatatatata...!" The light machine guns roared through the sky like a string of firecrackers exploding.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...!" The Barretts let out echoing roars, like thunderous blasts amid the crackle of firecrackers. Their booming reports even drowned out the light machine guns' roar.

Yueguang Han's attacks were still faster than the Sand Shinobi's ninjutsu. Their techniques had only just been released when the bullets crossed dozens of meters and struck first.

"Pfft, pfft... smack, smack..."

Bullets struck the ground, pierced tree trunks, and tore into flesh, producing different sounds that, against the backdrop of the burning forest, formed an unusual summer melody.

Under the precise targeting of the Electronic Eye, the seven Sand Shinobi who had emerged from the ground were all shot through the head and killed within one or two seconds. Until their deaths, they did not even see whether their ninjutsu had hit Yueguang Han.

"Young Han!" Seeing several Sand Shinobi's ninjutsu fly toward Yueguang Han in the sky, Yueguang Xingye and the other two were instantly frantic. Yet there was nothing they could do. They had no way to stop the ninjutsu flying toward Yueguang Han overhead.

"Lord Luo Fei, the fifteen ninja sent ahead suffered heavy casualties. Only seven remain, and they have burrowed underground again."

"Lord Luo Fei, those four enemies are approaching us by burning the forest. They are using brute force to destroy the traps. The remaining seven ninja have been burrowing around them, but they do not dare attack rashly. The enemy who ambushed us from an extreme distance is likely among those four. Our other earth-burrowing ninja are rapidly moving in to support them."

At the Sand Shinobi outpost in the valley, behind a building, a Sensory Ninja gave the outpost commander, Luo Fei, real-time reports on the situation up the mountain. Yet the reports brought no joy. Combined with the constant gunfire and explosions from the mountain, they only made the Sand Shinobi who heard them increasingly worried. Those four enemies were charging toward their outpost so recklessly; they must have some plan extremely unfavorable to the outpost.

Moreover, for them to have killed more than ten of their ninja in such a short time, one of those four enemies was clearly an exceptionally powerful ninja—at the very least an Elite Jonin, perhaps even someone with strength close to a Kage. No one wanted to encounter such a powerful opponent. Even if they had the numbers and would certainly win, fighting such a person would inevitably result in considerable casualties. Given a choice, no one wanted to be the unlucky one.

"Whoosh." Suddenly, just as the Sand Shinobi were fretting, a round object the size of a washbasin came whistling through the air toward the edge of the outpost, eventually landing beside a wooden house.

Upon hearing the sound, not only did none of the Sand Shinobi go to investigate, they instead hid even more carefully behind cover. Even Luo Fei, an Elite Jonin, was no exception. They feared that what had flown in was that attack so fast they could not react to it at all. Each of them cursed inwardly. Being able to do nothing but hide behind cover was simply too passive.

But the corpses of their fallen comrades had already proven the danger of casually exposing themselves. Those who could not use Earth Style had no choice. They did not dare stick their heads out recklessly, because they had no way to predict whether that attack, which was far faster than sound, would immediately strike them. If it did, they would not even have a chance to dodge.

"Boom...!" A violent explosion erupted at the edge of the Sand Shinobi outpost. The entire wooden house was instantly blown apart. Gale-force winds and shockwaves swept through the surroundings, ripping the roofs off nearby wooden houses as dirt and shattered planks sprayed everywhere with tremendous force. Thick smoke and dust billowed into the sky. The Sand Shinobi hiding behind those wooden houses were instantly blasted to pieces, their severed limbs flung high into the air along with wood chips and soil.

"Puh!" Several ninja close to the wooden house simultaneously spat blood under the force of the explosion, clearly injured by its terrifying shockwaves.

"Damn it!" Feeling the tremors caused by the explosion, the Sand Shinobi cursed inwardly, panic-stricken. They could tell from the vibrations alone how violent the blast had been. Its power was absolutely comparable to more than a dozen, perhaps even several dozen Explosive Tags. If this continued, they might lose over half their people before even seeing the enemy.

"Lord Luo Fei, withdraw from the outpost quickly!" Before the explosion had even subsided, a Sand Shinobi emerged from the ground behind Luo Fei and shouted anxiously, "The enemy's abilities are bizarre. Open ground is their home field."

"Ratatatata..." At that moment, another burst of gunfire rang out from the mountain, making the already anxious Sand Shinobi even more frantic. They wanted to retreat farther back, yet did not dare.

"Damn it!" Hearing the shouted warning from the Sand Shinobi who had returned underground and the renewed gunfire, Luo Fei cursed. He then ordered loudly, "Everyone, fall back!"

"Whoosh!" The moment his words fell, the gunfire from the mountain stopped again. A whistling sound came from above once more before ultimately landing within the outpost.

"Boom...!" Another massive explosion rang out, sending dirt and rocks flying in every direction. Fortunately, this one landed in an open area, so no Sand Shinobi were killed or injured. However, the impact point was closer to the center of the outpost this time. The flying sand and stones, shockwaves, and scorching gale also stopped the Sand Shinobi who had been about to rush out in their tracks.

"Whoosh...!" Three to five seconds later, the whistling sounded again. Another round object flew into the outpost, passing over several wooden houses.

"It's that thing! Everyone, be careful!" At that moment, a Sand Shinobi finally got a clear look at what was making the whistling sound and causing the explosions. It was not any kind of ninjutsu.
