Though Inoue Taichi and his men had used Ninjutsu to make themselves nearly as large as Chen Hao, the gap between them remained enormous when it came to a direct clash.
Their fists collided, and Chen Hao's punch shattered his opponent's entire arm into a cloud of flying sand.
Seeing how easily their Ninjutsu crumbled, Chen Hao sneered. "All show and no substance. Looks impressive, but it's useless."
With another kick, Chen Hao smashed a Ninja's entire body apart.
Knowing that things would only grow worse if this continued, Inoue Taichi gave the order. "Quicksand Technique!"
The remaining Ninjas around him immediately understood. Forming strange hand seals, they charged at Chen Hao together.
Seeing them rush over without any defense, Chen Hao showed no mercy. He swung the Golden Cudgel, taking one down with every strike. In just a few blows, he had smashed all of them into flying sand.
With only Inoue Taichi left in the clearing, Chen Hao said, "Now it's your turn."
"Is that so?" Inoue Taichi gave a sinister smile.
Chen Hao immediately sensed something wrong. Looking down, he saw that all the sand and dirt he had scattered had gathered around his feet, forming a layer of quicksand that was sinking at a frantic pace.
Chen Hao knew how dangerous quicksand could be, and he hurried to break free.
But the harder he struggled and the more strength he used, the faster he sank. Before long, most of his body had disappeared beneath it.
"Heh heh, let's see you break free this time. Enjoy the thrill of suffocating!"
After laughing, Inoue Taichi formed a hand seal. Countless arms reached out of the quicksand, grabbing Chen Hao and dragging him down faster.
Within two or three seconds, Chen Hao was completely swallowed by the quicksand.
"Hmph!"
