Lin Qing stood before Shinnō's corpse.
It was hard to imagine that the shriveled old man before him was Shinnō, who had looked like a silverback gorilla not long ago.
"Kill Shinnō: 700. Zero-Tails Void: 1200. Sky Ninja Legion: 1500."
Lin Qing calculated the gains from this battle.
Looking at Shinnō's price tag, he was a little speechless. This was far too cheap.

The old man had been active since the era of the Second Ninja World War, and his mind contained far too much crucial intelligence and technology.

Lin Qing was most interested in the Zero-Tails Technique.
Negative emotions could be converted into dark chakra, and this power could even serve as the core energy source for Sky Fortress Unit 2.
If it really worked, then he could round up a group of
