Orochimaru As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved.
This time, he didn't use those disgusting magic tricks or weird stealth, but charged forward head-on.
Kusanagi Sword The sword shadow in his hand stabbed Ning Xue straight into the chest.
Ning Xue turned sideways, and the tip of the sword brushed against his clothes. Ice Blade followed the trend and slashed towards Orochimaru's wrist holding the sword.
Orochimaru flips the wrist back, Kusanagi Sword blocks horizontally.
"Qiang--"
Ice Blade collided with Kusanagi Sword, splashing up a piece of fine ice chips.
Orochimaru took advantage of the force and took half a step back. Then it wrapped around him like a poisonous snake and stabbed Ning Xue's throat, heart, abdomen and other fatal places.
Ning Xue blocks, dodges, and counterattacks with Ice Blade.
The weapons of the two men intertwined into a dense sound of metal collision in the air, with sparks and ice chips flying everywhere.
Orochimaru's swordsmanship is strange and changeable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the path of the sword is erratic and unpredictable.
Ning Xue's knife technique is simple and sharp, with no unnecessary bells and whistles. Every knife goes straight to the point, crisp and clean.
The two figures intertwined, separated, and intertwined again in the open wilderness.
The ground under their feet was cracked in pieces by their footsteps, and gravel and dust were picked up by the air waves and flying in the air.
As the number of confrontations gradually increased, the blood stains on Ice Blade began to peel off.
The dark red blood stains stained in the corpse room were shattered and peeled off in the fierce collisions, and turned into fine red ice slag, rustling from the blade and falling to the ground.
And Ning Xue also re-filled the cracked gap on Ice Blade between swings of the knife.
Just like this, the Ice Blade, which was originally covered in blood, gradually revealed its original white blade.
After another duel, the two retreated at the same time, widening the distance.
Orochimaru lowered his head and glanced at Kusanagi Sword in his hand.
There were several tiny gaps on the sword.
His brows moved slightly, he raised his head and looked at Ice Blade in Ning Xue's hand.
The pure white sword had no cracks on it and was in perfect condition.
"Oh?"
Orochimaru tilted his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his golden vertical pupils.
His eyes lingered on the pure white Ice Blade for a moment, from the tip to the handle, from the blade to the back, as if he wanted to carve every detail into his eyes.
"Your ice... seems a little different."
He stuck out his tongue and slowly licked his upper lip, the interest in his eyes becoming more intense.
"It's not the kind of ice Mist Village, but more like... Land of Snow's?"
Ning Xue didn't answer. He just held Ice Blade tightly, adjusted his breathing, and tried his best to adjust his condition during this gap.
Orochimaru didn't pay attention to his silence and continued his analysis, with an almost obsessive desire to explore in his tone.
"Land of Snow's Ice Release, I have studied it.
The ninjas of that country can directly condense water molecules in the air into ice flowers and then fuse them without using Water Release as a medium.
But their ice is white, cannot leave the country, and its hardness is far less than the one in your hand."
He paused and tilted his head, as if thinking about a puzzle.
"Is it a fusion of some of the advantages of Kekkei Genkai?
Or is it reinforced by some external object? Or..."
His eyes fell on the pure white Ice Blade and the vertical stripes exposed by the shadow under the mask, and his golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly.
"Is it some kind of special product?"
Ning Xue still has no answer.
He just adjusted his condition, exerted force on his feet, and took the initiative to rush forward.
Ice Blade drew a cold arc in the air and went straight to Orochimaru's neck.
Orochimaru ducked sideways, and Kusanagi Sword slashed horizontally towards Ning Xue's waist and abdomen.
Ning Xue blocked with Ice Blade, used the force to spin his body, and kicked Orochimaru in the head.
Orochimaru raised his hand to block, but was kicked to the side and staggered two steps to the side.
He stabilized his body and moved his numb arms.
"Good strength."
Ning Xue didn't give him a chance to breathe. Ice Blade slashed out continuously, each one faster than the other, and each one more severe than the last.
Orochimaru blocked with Kusanagi Sword and retreated continuously, causing cracks in the ground beneath his feet.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
The sound of metal clashing was as dense as whack-a-mole, with sparks flying and ice shards flying.
Orochimaru suddenly changed his strategy after being suppressed by several consecutive moves.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and stabbed Ning Xue forcefully. Then his left hand suddenly stretched out, and his five fingers wrapped around Ning Xue's wrist holding the knife like a snake.
Ning Xue frowned and was about to shake it off when he saw Orochimaru's neck stretched suddenly, his head like a real snake, bypassing Ice Blade's defense, and opened his mouth to bite Ning Xue's neck.
Ning Xue's pupils shrank, and he instinctively tilted his head to the side. At the same time, he condensed a Ice Cone in his left hand and stabbed Orochimaru hard in the face.
Orochimaru had to let go and retreat, his head retracted to its original position, and his left hand also released Ning Xue's wrist.
The two distanced themselves again.
Ning Xue looked down at his wrist.
I could see a few red marks on my wrist that were pinched by Orochimaru's fingers, and there was a dull pain.
Orochimaru stood opposite and reached out to touch his cheek. There was a shallow wound scratched by Ice Blade, and blood dripped down his chin.
"It's really dangerous."
Orochimaru licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, his golden vertical pupils full of excitement.
"I almost got pierced by you."
