Chapter 78: Crying in Vain
"...What's going on?"
Looking at the strange scene that suddenly happened, Bird Thrush blurted out in astonishment: "What happened?"
He turned the telescope to the maximum magnification and stared at the scarlet blood cloud with wide eyes.
The blood cloud that floated towards them was obviously a red cloud different from the sunset.
The light of the setting sun in the sky shone through the blood cloud, reflecting the scarlet light on him, but he did not feel warm because of it.
On the contrary, the light made him feel extremely piercing, as if he fell into an ice cave in an instant!
"What on earth is it?" Bird Thrush tried his best to open his eyes to see the source of the blood cloud, but the more he tried to focus his eyes, the more he felt stinging, as if he was pierced in the eyes by countless invisible needles.
"A huge source of heat has been discovered!"
Bird Thrush heard the voice of the tower, and the tone was full of doubt: "Captain Bird Thrush, there seems to be someone in the blood cloud!"
When he heard this voice, the "blood cloud" was getting closer and closer, and had already come to the sky above their ship.
And Bird Thrush's eyes, which were already bloodshot, finally saw the vague figure in the blood cloud, which seemed to be looking down at them from above.
The burning sense of crisis kept overflowing from his brain.
The air ninjas behind Bird Thrush all looked up at the sky, raised their kunai guns, and put their fingers on the triggers.
"Captain Bird Thrush!" a sky ninja shouted, "Give the order! It's the enemy!"
Bird Thrush suddenly came to his senses and raised his arm to give the order.
However, before he could give the order, he saw the scarlet blood cloud falling from the sky with a shaking sound of breaking wind.
The strong wind pressure instantly overturned them, and the air ninjas on the entire deck suddenly lowered their heads, as if their cervical vertebrae were pressed down by an invisible heavy object, and a chill crept up their backs wet with sweat.
"Hurry!" The roar of the thrush spread across the deck, "Find shelter..."
Before he could finish his words, the last word was drowned out.
The scarlet blood cloud of doom instantly devoured their pupils, dragging them into a doomsday desperate situation like the collapse of heaven and earth.
Boom! !
The ship was shaking like a small boat on the sea, the iron chain of the anchor was stretched straight into a straight line, and the bow was groaning slightly under the wind pressure.
Those air ninjas who subconsciously grasped the fixed objects beside them were fine, but those who didn't have time to react were like dense ants on the table, and were instantly lifted off the ground by a punch that hit the table with all their strength.
Then, in confusion and panic, they were overturned by the impact of the wind pressure and hit the ground or the hanging wall heavily!
Bang! Bang!
The vibration lasted for several seconds before it completely stopped, and the big waves splashing on the ship gradually slowed down.
"Ahem! Damn it!"
Bird Thrush stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner, with the groans of the air ninjas in his ears.
As if sensing something, he covered his painful abdomen and suddenly looked up into the distance.
The huge sunset was about to set below the horizon, and the last ray of light shone through the blood mist onto the gradually walking black shadow.
"Can I borrow it for a moment?" The voice with a humble and gentle smile came from the blood mist, "I want to see your leader."
But in the next moment, Bird Thrush raised his arm with a gloomy expression, and hundreds of gun muzzles were aimed at locking the target's every move in the field.
Every air ninja who could still move raised a kunai gun, and the finger on the trigger was as tight as stone but trembling slightly.
The kunai was just a little bit away from being fired, and only someone was about to make a sound to break the tight string, and the kunai would be fired out of the barrel with the explosion of the primer.
"Idiot." Bird Thrush narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the figure. "Although I don't know who you are, you may have made a wrong decision."
This was the first time he saw an enemy so stupid as to give up air superiority and fall into such a large open encirclement and become a target.
Even though the guy in front of him had a gentle and friendly tone, he could only smell the malice as thick as ink and bloody as blood.
"It seems that this is not possible."
Looking at the air ninjas who were facing a great enemy, Yunchuan said in a distressed tone: "They are not enemies with different positions, why do this?"
The blood mist gradually surged and rose, and the scarlet rays of light shot from behind him. His shadow was spread and projected on the ground, and the air ninjas in front of him were all covered by it.
Although these air ninjas were weak in Yunchuan's eyes, they were able to skillfully use flying ninja tools.
They were all very valuable people.
"I always value peace, and I don't really want to use violence."
Yun Chuan took a light step, put his right hand on his left shoulder, clenched his five fingers and looked regretful: "But if you refuse, then there's nothing I can do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood mist seemed to be inspired by him, and it tilted around him like a star ring, and even the trajectory of the red clouds was distorted.
It rushed to the clenched right hand on his left shoulder, quickly gathered and reorganized, and condensed into shape!
First, it condensed and melted into a black handle with intricate patterns, and then cast the blade, blade, blade edge, blade arc...
Seeing this strange scene, Bird Thrush's pupils shrank and he shouted in a low voice: "Fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!
The noisy gunshots instantly filled everyone's ears.
The air ninja's finger on the trigger pressed down, and the high-pressure gas in the barrel gushed out, driving countless kunai to burst out!
The explosion of the kunai breaking through the sound barrier, the explosion of chakra sounded.
Hundreds of kunai, like a torrential rain, with huge kinetic energy, formed an unavoidable barrage that enveloped Yunchuan.
And Bird Thrush saw the eyes in the blood mist and the formed long sword through the red glow.
The eyes were like a bottomless dark blue pool, leaving only a little scarlet color floating on the pool.
And the blade of the long sword was thin and thin, and the blade was like the pattern of eyes, just like it was made of flesh and bones, and the blade was surrounded by scarlet blood mist.
There was a horizontal character engraved on it, which seemed to be the name of the knife.
But before Bird Thrush could see the characters clearly, Yunchuan's right hand grasped the handle of the knife while looking at the deadly rain curtain shooting in front of him.
"Haha!"
In the dancing blood mist, Yunchuan's laughter sounded, as if he had got his favorite toy.
Then, he swung the three-foot-nine-inch knife from his left shoulder, drawing a scarlet arc in front of him, solemn and solemn.
—— Mimicry Change·Ghost Blade.
In the reflection of Bird Thrush and a group of air ninjas' shrinking pupils, the blood light and scream with strange beauty flashed by.
And in this fleeting moment, Bird Thrush saw the characters clearly.
The name of the knife is...
"Hyaku Shenqu." Bird Thrush whispered softly.
At this moment, the oncoming kunai melted away like a rain curtain, and continued to pass through the bodies of those air ninjas, all of which melted in the mist of the arc of light.
