Moreover, such a large-scale ice escape sealed off the entire camp, even creating ice walls nearly a hundred meters high—this was clearly intended to kill them.
"Those who can move, use Lightning Release with me."
Ignoring his injuries, Karum quickly called to his still-mobile companions that they needed to use Lightning Release simultaneously to launch an attack on the giant creature.
He simply didn't believe that Bai Mu had that much chakra to maintain Susanoo indefinitely. Even if he could, the chakra consumption was enormous...
Incalculable!
Therefore, a counterattack is imperative, and it cannot be just one person fighting back; it requires the surviving Cloud Ninja to join the counterattack.
Chapter 64 The Arrogant Esdeath
Soon, several dark-skinned Cloud Ninja stepped forward. Like Karum, they were members of the Third Raikage's Shadow Guard.
The group exchanged glances and immediately formed hand seals in perfect unison: "Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"
Led by Karum, several Cloud Village Jonin joined forces to use the Lightning Release secret technique.
This is a secret Lightning Release technique developed by the Third Raikage.
Lightning Release: Black Spotted Lightning Release!
The black lightning strikes a single target, delivering a devastating blow that renders the opponent immobile and causes them to die in agony.
Such a secret technique is something that ordinary people really can't learn, but Karum and the others are the Third Raikage's Shadow Guard and genuine old black-skinned people in Kumogakure. Their talents, abilities and identities are a perfect match.
Therefore, the power of any one of them individually would certainly not be as great as that of the Third Raikage, but when they joined forces, they could rival him.
Several black lightning bolts, like black cheetahs, came toward the Susanoo in the air, but Bai Mu didn't care. Instead, he showed a contemptuous look and curled his lips slightly, showing his disdain.
"Kids' toys!"
Controlling Susanoo, he swung his longsword once more, and the lightning release technique used by five or six Jonin vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.
This scene left Karum feeling somewhat desperate. He had thought that the words would have some effect, but in reality, they were completely ineffective. How was he supposed to fight like this?
If they were capable of fighting, why would they have to resort to such tactics?
"It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you are really weak." Standing inside Susanoo, Hakumu's arrogance was evident, and he didn't take this group seriously at all.
Moreover, just now, with a light swing of the sword, how many people died? At least over a thousand, probably more than a thousand. As for the remaining survivors, let Esdeath, Alice, and the others deal with them.
"Esdeath, Alice, stop watching, it's time to hunt."
Esdeath landed first, her white high-heeled boots touching the frozen ground. With a calm expression, she replied, "Of course!"
Alice Lise followed closely behind, her high heels stepping on the ice. Her fair, jade-like right hand was slightly raised, and a blue ice sword had already emerged behind her.
Ice Calamity, a Thousand Thorns, Snowstorm!
With a gentle wave of her hand, her ice sword locked onto all enemies within her field of vision, unleashing a furious barrage that was impossible to dodge.
This isn't something you can easily dodge just by saying you want to. It's not that easy, and not only is it difficult to avoid, but it's also difficult to defend against.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Cloud Village ninjas perished under the ice sword.
"You actually tried to take it from me!"
Upon seeing this, Esdeath's expression immediately changed. She was filled with shock and anger. She never expected that Alice Lise would be so uncivilized and attack her first, stealing so many of her lives.
Enraged, Esdeath unleashed her full power, her Ice Imperial Arms displaying its might. The chilling aura swept in, and countless ice pillars and spikes completely obliterated any Cloud Village within her sight.
Anyone who is alive and breathing will be eliminated.
In a short time, Yunyin suffered heavy casualties, and the more than three hundred survivors were almost all gone.
Of those still alive, only Karum's group of shadow puppet guards remained, but only eight out of the twelve were actually alive. In other words, at this time, only eight Cloud Ninja were still alive in the Cloud Village camp.
Although these eight people were all Jonin, they didn't have much of a chance of winning at the moment. Not to mention the monster Bai Mu, the two women in front of them who used ice release power were already very difficult to deal with. So, even though Karum and the others were shouting fiercely, they were still in trouble.
However, they have almost no confidence left.
What can we use to fight them?
This is practically free!
At this moment, Karum remained silent, but Nukaru, standing beside him, asked directly, "How do you suggest we fight?"
"Ask me, and I won't get an answer." Karum frankly admitted that there was no answer. Play however you want. If you're not happy, go ahead and play. It's best if one person plays alone.
"There are only two women on the other side. Although their ice jutsu is very powerful, we are stronger in close combat." Akaru believed that the advantage in close combat lay with their side, because ninjutsu and taijutsu were advantageous.
“We can each take on one person, so it’s four against one. We’re unlikely to be at a disadvantage,” Karum said in a low voice after glancing at the group.
I'll be frank: let's surround and attack.
"Alright, let's surround and attack!"
Nukaru had no objection.
What else can we say now? There's only one way: a siege. There's no other way. As for whether we can win, and how to deal with that monster Uchiha Hakubaki after we win...
Why think that far ahead?
Let's solve the immediate problem first.
If we can't even deal with those two ice-style female ninjas, then let alone deal with that monster Uchiha Hakubaki. So the current target is the ice-style female ninjas!
With a shared goal, their actions were synchronized.
Karum, along with three others, dispersed to four different locations and surrounded Esdeath, while Nukaru and Akaru, along with two other Cloud Ninja, surrounded Alice Liz.
"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"
1010
The objective is very clear: to engage in close combat. So, it would be best if the black lightning hits, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. Giving them some time to close the distance means they'll be invincible in close combat.
"Tch, overestimating yourself!"
Esdeath lowered her head slightly, a cruel smile playing on her lips. She raised her hand and unleashed a chilling aura, causing an ice pillar to rise before her and block the incoming lightning.
Then, she touched the ground with one foot, leaped up, and made a grabbing motion with her right hand, aiming at the two Cloud Ninjas flying towards her.
A chill arose, and icicles fell like rain.
In the blink of an eye, it covered two Cloud Ninja.
The two dark-skinned Cloud Ninja drew their swords, lightning crackling around their blades, releasing an instant burst of electricity as they charged towards the incoming rain of ice spikes. Under the high-speed impact of the lightning release, a significant portion of the ice spike rain was destroyed.
However, compared to the sheer number of enemies, the number destroyed was insignificant, especially since Esdeath's offensive had resumed.
"Is that all you guys are going to do?"
Esdeath hovered in the air, looking at the two disheveled Cloud Ninjas who had caused the disturbance with an arrogant expression on her face. She didn't take this group seriously at all.
"Stop looking down on others!"
Karum and another Cloud Ninja attacked from behind. The former roared angrily, his long sword crackling with black lightning, and his limbs were wrapped in lightning. He was obviously using the power of Lightning Release to enhance his speed, agility, and flexibility.
Meanwhile, another Cloud Ninja formed hand seals and shouted, "Storm Release: Raging Slash Lock!"
Beams of laser light, formed from water vapor, shot out from the Cloud Ninja's hands, heading towards Esdeath in the air. If they were hit, they would surely pierce through the target.
However, facing such a powerful attack, Esdeath smiled contemptuously and said indifferently, "Nothing special, just an overconfident ant!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her small hand, and instantly a mountain of spherical hailstones appeared, covering the two of them in the blink of an eye. Their supposed attack crumbled without a trace.
Chapter 65 A Great Victory, the War Ends
Hailstorm!
Karum and the other Cloud Ninja were completely unable to attend to Esdeath, as their so-called attack was swallowed up by the giant spherical hailstone.
Esdeath briefly hindered the two, then turned her attention back to the two Cloud Ninja from before, whom she hadn't yet dealt with.
Therefore, let's deal with these two little ants first.
"Die!"
She conjured an ice sword in her hand, increasing her speed, and swiftly reached the two cloud ninjas, killing them both with a single strike.
puff!
Blood splatters.
Heads fell to the ground.
Of the four Cloud Ninja who were besieging them, two were dealt with in the blink of an eye, leaving only Karum and another Cloud Ninja, but they were clearly not in good shape.
The hailstones were so huge that they couldn't withstand them. Karum survived by sheer luck, but his companions were gone.
"Damn it, how is this woman so powerful?" Karum dragged his battered body, blood seeping from his arms and legs. He was unwilling to accept his own side's performance and hated Esdeath to the core.
Why is it so strong?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Are ice-style ninjas really that powerful?
Karum was truly baffled. Looking across the entire ninja world, where else could there be such a powerful ice-style ninja? Even the Yuki clan in Kirigakure might not possess such strength.
So, who exactly is this woman?
“Weak is weak, what’s the use of saying so many things?” Esdeath said with a cruel smile as she looked at Karum, who was struggling to stand.
The weak are just weak; they can't face reality.
If you can't beat them, you just can't beat them.
Why should you be so upset about this?
Accept reality and die!
Esdeath's response was a bolt of lightning from the sky. Although Karum was seriously injured and even lost three of his companions, it did not mean he had to admit defeat.
Yes, he couldn't understand, but fighting to the death was the choice he made.
Even if I die, it will be my choice.
Karum seemed to accept it calmly.
So he chose to fight to the death.
