Chapter 123: A Fierce Battle Against the Earth Ninja

At this moment, the bodyguards were still unaware that a hidden assassin was silently approaching. Yang Fan sensed the assassin’s presence and finally realized that the enemy was moving underground.

“Could it be earth escape technique?” Yang Fan wondered, puzzled. The opponent’s energy moved beneath the ground, clearly using a method similar to earth escape.

These assassins came from the Fusang Kingdom, which led Yang Fan to consider another possibility: the enemy must be a earth ninja.

The most renowned warriors of the Fusang Kingdom were ninjas.

“Hmph, just like the island ninjas on Earth,” Yang Fan sneered inwardly.

In his previous life as a Chinese on Earth, he held little goodwill toward islanders. Yet, he was also curious—what connection did this world have with Earth? Because this world felt remarkably similar to Earth.

The battle raged on fiercely.

The warriors of Fusang had already lost five men, while the Yanhuang side had four killed. Both sides were locked in a stalemate.

The remaining bodyguards guarded the commander’s retreat.

Then, suddenly, a masked warrior burst out of the ground, radiating immense power. Wielding a katana, he charged fiercely toward the bodyguards.

“Protect the commander!”

Seeing the sudden appearance of a powerful fighter, the bodyguards immediately rushed forward.

“Insignificant ants,” the masked warrior sneered, not even sparing the bodyguard a glance. His katana emitted a faint yellow glow as he swung swiftly.

Yellow blades flickered sharply in the air as the katana relentlessly attacked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard drew a dagger to defend himself.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The clang of weapons rang out violently, sparks flying like in a blacksmith’s forge.

The warrior’s strength was overwhelming, forcing the bodyguard to retreat step by step.

In sheer power, the warrior held a clear advantage.

Seeing their comrade suppressed, two bodyguards immediately charged to assist.

They drew their guns and opened fire on the target.

Sensing danger, the warrior suddenly vanished, completely disappearing from sight.

“What’s going on?” Everyone was shocked, cautiously scanning their surroundings.

“Be careful, this is a Fusang earth ninja—they can move underground to attack,” a bodyguard warned.

Knowing they were up against Fusang ninjas, the group tensed.

Everyone knew how difficult it was to deal with these ninjas.

They could use special abilities to conceal their bodies and launch surprise attacks.

The group surrounded the commander like a fortress, alert and prepared.

Suddenly, a bodyguard’s body was slashed open by a blade, blood spraying everywhere.

The earth ninja struck and immediately disappeared underground once more.

“Damn it!” A bodyguard cursed furiously at the loss of their comrade.

An opponent with such elusive movements left them helpless.

If there were other strong fighters present, they might not be in such a dire situation.

“Watch out, these ninjas are cunning and treacherous,” a young bodyguard cautioned.

Everyone’s expressions grew grave, unwilling to slack off for a moment.

Frustration gnawed at them as they couldn’t locate the enemy and had no clue how to strike back.

“Ahh!”

Another bodyguard’s thigh was suddenly severed by a katana that appeared out of thin air, eliciting a scream of agony.

When they tried to counterattack, the earth ninja vanished again.

If this continued, all of them would be killed.

The opponent was not only powerful but could also vanish and strike unseen, making defense nearly impossible.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the ground, and white smoke billowed up, enveloping the area and obscuring all sight.

In this chaos, one bodyguard rushed to the commander.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Through the smoke, the earth ninja appeared, unleashing overwhelming force that sent people flying.

His katana gleamed coldly as it slashed toward the commander’s neck.

The other bodyguards tried to intervene but were too late; they could only watch helplessly as the blade neared their leader.

“Fusang scum, do you think no one in Yanhuang can stop you?”

A hand flashed like lightning in front of the commander, delivering a powerful strike that shattered the katana.

A master had suddenly appeared.

The earth ninja vanished immediately.

Yang Fan stood before the commander, his expression cold and sharp.

Some bodyguards saw Yang Fan’s sudden arrival and were puzzled, unsure of his identity.

“Mr. Yang, thank you for saving me,” the commander said with a weary smile.

“No need for thanks, Old Han. As a Yanhuang man, I cannot stand by while Fusang scum run rampant here,” Yang Fan replied calmly.

“I owe you a favor,” Old Han said earnestly.

“To have Old Han owe me a favor is my honor,” Yang Fan said with a steady gaze. “Old Han, stay close to me and don’t move. I’ll keep you safe.”

Old Han nodded without any doubt.

With Yang Fan’s intervention, he felt secure, knowing Yang Fan’s strength was extraordinary.

In his past life, Yang Fan had once knocked a strong innate warrior flying with a single slap, proving his formidable power.

“You don’t need to stay here. Go help the others,” Yang Fan told several bodyguards nearby.

Hearing this, they hesitated slightly, worried about the commander’s safety.

“Rest assured, I’ll be fine,” Old Han assured them.

With Old Han’s word, the bodyguards moved to assist elsewhere.

Yang Fan unleashed his spiritual power fully, sensing the surroundings with precision.

He would detect the earth ninja the moment he appeared.

For now, the earth ninja was patient, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Yang Fan stood still, watching carefully.

The enemy remained motionless, silently lurking, waiting for the ideal opportunity.

They were engaged in a psychological battle, testing who could endure longer.

Yang Fan was certain the enemy would strike first.

After all, the assassin aimed to kill Old Han; if time dragged on, the chance would vanish.

Eventually, the police would arrive.

The earth ninja understood this too and could no longer restrain himself.

The moment the earth ninja moved, Yang Fan detected it immediately.

He radiated a fierce aura, spiritual energy condensing in his hand.

Suddenly, he spun and unleashed a punch behind Old Han.

The earth ninja had just appeared when a fist came smashing toward him.

His face changed as he vanished in place.

“Cheap tricks,” Yang Fan sneered coldly, his aura exploding.

He stomped hard on the ground.

“Boom!”

A tremendous sound erupted as the earth trembled violently, like an earthquake.

The earth ninja emerged from underground, only to face a powerful fist barreling toward him.

“Bang!”

He hurriedly blocked with his katana.

The force sent him flying backward, and Yang Fan’s punch shattered his sword.

Retreating, the earth ninja quickly put distance and then vanished underground again.
