One Against Four, Crushing the Sound Ninja!

The Sound Four leaped out of the pit. Hotheaded Jirobo charged forward first, swinging his fists.

Empowered by the dual Cursed Marks, his strength had become even more formidable, and every punch and kick stirred up gusts of wind.

Chen Feng paid no mind to such clumsy brute-force attacks. His flowing Tai Chi Fist unfolded once more. The moment those seemingly powerful fists touched his body, eighty percent of their force was redirected away.

Then he brought two fingers together like a sword and used the Acupuncture Technique. His fingers struck several of Jirobo's vital acupoints like lightning, followed by a heavy Thunderbolt Palm strike to the chest that sent him flying.

Jirobo spat out another mouthful of blood, then pushed himself back up, intending to continue attacking.

With the Cursed Mark's enhancement, not only had his strength improved significantly, but his physique had also advanced by leaps and bounds. He felt that he could still withstand several more attacks of this level.

However, at that moment, an indescribable agony suddenly washed over him. A huge amount of chakra within his body went berserk, constantly battering his meridians and internal organs.

"Ah!"

Jirobo clutched his chest and cried out in pain. The uncontrollable energy burst through his channels and erupted from his body. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, instantly staining his entire body crimson.

Like a deflated ball, he reverted directly to his original form and collapsed on the ground, barely clinging to life.

"Jirobo!"

The other three were startled. They could not understand why their companion had suddenly suffered such severe injuries.

Chen Feng merely curled his lips coldly. Though the other party had gained greater power through the Cursed Mark, that thing itself was a ticking time bomb.

The more one activated the Cursed Mark, the more violent the chakra inside one's body became. At such a time, as long as one used acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints where a large amount of chakra was stored, the energy in the body could be thrown into uncontrollable chaos.

The fiercer the energy rampage, the greater the damage to the body. In the end, it could even claim one's life.

Put simply, it was a case of qi deviation...

Watching Jirobo's aura grow weaker and weaker, Kidomaru's face twisted viciously. His six arms shook sharply, and over a hundred kunai shot forth at an astonishing speed, attacking from every angle!

Chen Feng remained calm. He raised his sword fingers, and a terrifyingly massive storm materialized.

"Xun Character, Tornado!"

The tornado enveloped his body. The instant all the kunai came into contact with the violent winds, they were blocked and scattered onto the ground.

Kidomaru's expression changed slightly, but he immediately used another technique. With a clap of his palms, he performed the Summoning Technique.

"Secret Technique: Summoning Technique: Giant Spider!"

In an instant, a gigantic black spider appeared before them.

As the spider's abdomen split open, countless tiny spiders spilled out and drifted gently into the whirlwind. Amid the tornado's high-speed rotation, they continuously seeped inward.

Chen Feng's expression shifted as he shouted, "Xun above, Li below, Fire Tornado!"

As his words fell, a blazing fire dragon surged upward from below and merged with the Tornado Storm.

The fire rode the wind. In the blink of an eye, towering flames swept outward, and the terrifying flaming tornado instantly reduced the thousands upon thousands of tiny spiders to ash!

This was the new transformation produced after Feng Hou Qi Men had been upgraded. The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams generated and restrained one another; they were not fixed and unchanging. This Fire Tornado was, in truth, the manifestation of wood and fire coexisting.

Seeing every tiny spider he had released turn into charred remains, Kidomaru flew into a rage and immediately unleashed his trump card.

His mouth wriggled as he spat out a mass of high-density sticky gold, which he casually pulled into the shape of a bow and arrow.

Using both feet and all four arms, he drew the bowstring. The incomparably sharp long arrow aimed at the center of the storm.

"Secret Technique: Spider Battle Bow: Miserable Split!

Hit rate, one hundred and twenty percent!"

He had absolute confidence that this arrow could pierce through the Fire Tornado. Moreover, spider silk connected to the arrow, allowing its attack direction to be changed at will.

It was as though it had been given a powerful tracking ability. Once locked onto, it would be difficult to escape.

He flashed a savage grin. As the bowstring trembled, the arrow shot out fiercely!

Under the crushing force of its immense power, bursts of air explosions rang out. Its might was enough to easily pierce gold and stone!

Sensing the sharp edge shooting straight toward him, Chen Feng raised his brows and grew slightly more serious.

He clenched his five fingers, and the roaring flaming tornado instantly gathered together, condensed and compressed into the shape of a spear.

Chen Feng gripped the spear in reverse and hurled it forcefully toward the incoming arrow. "Go!"

In an instant, the flaming spear tore through the air with terrifying heat. Then it collided fiercely with the arrow.

As a wave of air swept outward, the two exploded at the same time.

The arrow shattered outright, while the spear transformed into streams of flowing fire that scattered forward.

Kidomaru hurriedly dodged and narrowly evaded the attacks. The giant spider beside him was not so fortunate. Its clumsy body struggled as it was consumed by flames, turning into a pile of charcoal within a few breaths.

"Damn it!"

Watching them fail again and again, Tayuya gritted her teeth. She then pulled out the flute at her waist and began to play.

"Demon Flute: Illusionary Sound Lock!"

This was her unique secret technique. It could disrupt an opponent's mental state through the sound of the flute, creating an illusion that was difficult to break free from. It was somewhat similar to Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi.

Of course, although both were genjutsu, their power could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The eerie sound reached him, and Chen Feng immediately felt dizzy and disoriented. Even the scene before his eyes seemed to distort.

His gaze flashed as he raised his sword fingers. "Zhen Character, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound!"

A thunderous shout erupted, and immense sound waves rolled outward. It was like the roar of a hundred beasts, yet also like heavenly thunder descending, making all who heard it quake with terror and leaving evil with nowhere to hide!

The two waves of sound collided fiercely, and the flute melody was instantly torn apart.

With a bang, the flute in Tayuya's hand shattered as well.

At the same time, it was as though she had seen an unimaginably terrifying sight. Her mind shook violently, her consciousness suffered a severe blow, and she immediately collapsed unconscious.

Seeing this, Chen Feng let out a long breath and coughed a few times. This soundwave technique was quite powerful, but it was a little hard on the throat.

Meanwhile, Sakon had already entered his twin state and attacked alongside Ukon, both of them unleashing a barrage of punches.

Chen Feng merely smiled. Perhaps this method posed some threat to ordinary people, but before him, it was still not enough.

He raised his palm and once again unleashed the art of Qi Men.

The numerous trees in the forest immediately began to move. Vines and branches stretched outward, surging in from all directions like a tide.

Within a few breaths, the two of them were bound into dumpling-like bundles, completely unable to move...
