Jingle bell bell...
The bell in the shrine shook crazily, and Shion's purple eyes saw the future again.
In the picture, countless undead armies poured out from Shrine of Sealing, trampling the land of Land of Demons wantonly.
This terrifying formation brought unprecedented fear and pressure to this immature miko.
And that's when.
"Enemy attack--!"
"Protect the miko-sama!"
The screams of murder, the clash of weapons, the explosion of ninjutsu, and the panicked shouts of attendants and priests that suddenly erupted outside the shrine instantly tore apart the tranquility of the morning and forcibly dragged her back to reality from the quagmire of prophecy.
Panic and rapid footsteps lingered around the shrine, and in just a moment, the door of the shrine was violently knocked open.
"Miko-sama! Escape from the secret passage!"
Ashitaba came to Shion in a slightly embarrassed manner, preparing to take her away first.
At this moment, three ninjas with strange paint on their faces and cold eyes broke through the defense line.
They held Kunai in their hands, and their eyes also exuded a fierce light.
Their goal is clear and they are heading straight towards Shion!
Ashitaba Several people saw this and immediately drew their knives to stop him.
Unfortunately, even though he is the guard captain, he is no match for a professional ninja.
He was defeated in just a few moves and collapsed to the ground. He could only look helplessly at the ninjas and walked towards Shion step by step.
I saw several people preparing to harm the miko, and one of the guards didn't know where the power came from.
He quickly stood up and rushed to the miko, preparing to block the blow for her.
"Miko-sama, be careful!!"
The Kunai in the hands of that ninja was about to pierce the Setsuna in the chest of the guard.
"Pfft!"
A silver needle sank into the back of the ninja's neck with great precision.
His forward movement suddenly froze, his pupils gradually became blurred, and he fell softly to the ground.
The two companions were shocked when they saw this, and immediately jumped away and looked in the direction where the silver needle was thrown.
Behind them, at some point, a guy wearing a gray sweater and a strange mask appeared.
Yes, this person is Ning Xue.
He planned to go to the shrine as early as possible today to consult Sealing Jutsu. This was the most reasonable reason he could think of to visit the shrine maiden.
For this reason, he deliberately chose the hotel closest to the shrine.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I approached the shrine, there were fierce shouts of killing inside. I can only say that it was a coincidence.
The surviving guard fell to the ground. The huge impact of escaping from death caused his pupils to dilate and his mouth to open slightly. His face was filled with incredible shock and confusion, exactly the same as what Shion saw in the prophecy!
Shion froze in place when he saw this expression. He stared at the guard's expression, and then looked sharply at the masked man who suddenly appeared at the door.
The prophecy... was really changed... by this strange stranger!.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and her long-term numb emotions were stirred up by this real change.
"Who is this person?! Looking for death!"
There was only one of the remaining two Yomi subordinates. One was a little annoyed, while the other Hand Seals was using his hands quickly.
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A blazing fireball roared out and hit Ning Xue.
But Ning Xue only swayed slightly in response, and the blazing fireball passed by, causing the ground behind it to become blackened.
While moving, he threw out several Ice Needles with his left hand and shot them at the two people.
When the two saw the tiny needle, they hurriedly dodged, and Ning Xue was also in the gap. Body Flicker Technique came in front of one person, raised his hand and pulled out Kunai, killing the other person instantly.
Then he raised his other hand, condensed a Ice Cone, and nailed the other person to the wall.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Ning Xue shook off the tiny blood beads on Kunai, and then looked at the guard who collapsed on the ground in shock, and Ashitaba who looked wary.
Finally, he turned his attention to the pale-faced miko in the middle, who was looking at him with a strange look.
"Need help?" His voice was calm, a little dull through the mask.
After a short period of silence, Ashitaba was the first to struggle to stand up. Although the wound was still bleeding, he still held on and saluted Ning Xue solemnly.
"Many... thank you very much for your help! If you hadn't taken action in time, the miko might have..."
His tone was sincere, filled with fear and gratitude, but the vigilance in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
"I wonder if your Excellency is...?"
"Passing by." Ning Xue said concisely and to the point.
Seeing that they wanted to continue, Ning Xue interrupted directly.
"You can ask questions later. It's not safe outside now."
"You guys should find a place to hide for a while."
Ashitaba heard this and realized that this was really not an enemy, his eyes narrowed.
"Thank you very much, sir." He stood up despite the pain and shouted decisively to Shion.
"Miko-sama, please come with me!" There was no doubt in his tone.
And Shion was still looking at Ning Xue blankly, as if he wanted to say something?
But before she could speak, she was involuntarily pulled away by Ashitaba and rushed to a safe place to hide.
After confirming the safety of several people with Byakugan, Ning Xue looked at the crowds of people who were pouring into the shrine. The expression under the mask was as usual.
Countless Yomi's men with oil paint on their faces and fierce eyes also looked at this strange masked man blocking the door of the palace.
"Kill him!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, several ninjas launched attacks at the same time.
Kunai, Shuriken intertwined into a network, Wind Release and Fire Release's ninjutsu light flashed, attacking Ning Xue from different angles.
Ning Xue moved.
"Ice Release, Ice Wall..."
He clapped his hands, and a generous Ice Wall emerged from Ning Xue's feet. Not only did it resist the attack, but it also completely sealed the entrance to the temple.
Ning Xue stood on Ice Wall, looking at the group of people below, and after condensing a handful of Ice Blade, he swooped down without hesitation.
The moment he landed, he saw a man holding Ku, who stabbed him in the head first, but Ning Xue was faster than him.
Ning Xue first raised his knife to block, and then hit Kunai with his knife.
While taking advantage of the opponent's daze.
"Pfft!" The sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh.
After the enemy staggered a few steps, a slight scratch appeared on his neck. After a while, he fell to the ground and was no longer breathing.
At this point, the killing began.
Ning Xue Every time the blade is wielded, someone will surely fall.
His body was flexible and he easily dodged the ninjutsu used at close range.
Occasionally, he can condense Ice Burst with one hand and penetrate the enemy's body with one blow.
The screams continued until the last person fell.
In the end, Ning Xue was left standing alone in the pool of blood full of corpses and ice crystals.
