Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 194 Ghost Lantern City

A dark night with no wind or rain.

Xue Hui and Xuan Weng stood on the cliff, looking at a castle on an isolated island not far away.

The people of the Country of Grass named this castle.

Ghost City.

It is said to be a castle, but it is actually a huge prison used to detain criminals from all over the world.

By taking in criminals who are difficult for other countries, Ghost Lantern City has brought a lot of income to Cao Ninja Village.

Since it is said that all kinds of difficult criminals are detained, resistance and rebellion from time to time are the daily routine here.

However, so far, there is no record of the criminals detained in it successfully escaping from prison. Although all countries are very surprised how it was done with the strength of Cao Ninja Village, they don't care so much about the process, as long as the result is good.

This night, the moonlight was obscured by clouds, and the lights of Ghost Lantern City were extraordinarily bright.

Xue Hui and the two of them could vaguely hear the noise from Ghost Lamp City even though they were so far apart.

"It seems that I have caught up with a good time tonight!"

Xue Hui looked at the flickering lights of the castle, showing an excited smile.

Seeing Xue Hui's expression, Xuan Weng felt a little uncomfortable.

However, before he could speak, Xue Hui ordered him:
"You stay outside, and the fish that slip through the net will be handed over to you. Since it is a prison, then don't let any living ninja go!"

"it is as expected……"

Xuan Weng felt powerless for a while, then sighed and replied:

"Yes, I understand, no one will get out of my trap alive."

At the moment when Xuan Weng bowed, Xue Hui's figure disappeared, and the whole person stepped forward along the sea waves, holding the demon knife village Zheng tightly, suppressing his excitement, and quickly moved towards the Ghost Lantern City.

The gate of Ghost Lamp City, at this time, there is no guard guarding the gate.

Seeing this, Xue Hui directly slashed open the thick wooden door, and cut off the low-level seal on the door.

"Tips for carving insects."

Xuehui's seal, in his memory, seemed to be something that he didn't like at all.

Xue Hui approached the courtyard without hiding, and what appeared before him was a lively scene.

"Oh? It seems that someone else broke into this place earlier than me!"

Xue Hui looked at the masked ninjas who were fighting with the guards. Behind them, there were a large number of prisoners in prison uniforms throwing ninjas as support.

No one on both sides of the fierce battle noticed the change at the gate, nor did they notice that a stranger appeared in the atrium, silently looking at the two sides in the battle.

After watching for a while, Xue Hui expressed his thoughts.

"It's boring."

Among the ninjas sent by Cao Ninja Village, they are quite strong, and among them there is also a Jonin who looks like the lord of the city.

But the grass ninja lying on the ground around them was obviously attacked secretly by the opponent, and lost a lot of combat power.

Coupled with the addition of many restless prisoners in the prison, the party that obviously made trouble and robbed the prison is now even more dominant.

But the strength of both sides was just like this, impatient to continue watching this clumsy 'performance' in his opinion, Xue Hui made a move.

Take a half step forward, half bow, hold the handle of the knife with your right hand, and lock everyone in the field one by one.

"Type Two - Blast Slash!"

Xue Hui's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a small pit in place.

The people present only felt a gust of wind suddenly appeared in the atrium, and the dust it brought up obscured their vision.

Immediately afterwards, slight muffled hums appeared from all directions in the field.

This made both sides tacitly give up the battle, and their nervous expressions turned to guard.

It's a pity that Xue Hui's goal is not the two most fierce fights.

It was the other prisoners who had their chakras sealed, their combat power was sealed, but their soul power as ninjas would not be weakened, they were the best 'prey' in Xue Hui's eyes.

The gust of wind whizzed past, followed by the sound of 'bang bang' from countless heavy objects falling to the ground, which came continuously.

Only then did the two parties realize in horror that all the prisoners who participated in the disturbance fell to the ground, motionless, lifeless, and no survivors.

At the same time, Xue Hui appeared in the sight of both sides.

I saw him appearing in the middle of the confrontation without any warning, slowly withdrawing the knife from the ending position of swinging the knife like no one else, and standing up.

"Who is your Excellency! Why did you come to trouble the Ghost Lamp City!"

The city lord of Ghost Lamp City, that Kusanagi Jōnin asked in a deep voice.

That's right, although those prisoners are now on the opposite side, in their Kuo Nin's eyes, these are all properties belonging to Ghost Lamp City, so being killed by an outsider like this is tantamount to slapping Kuo Nin in the face.

Hearing the other party's questioning, Xue Hui gave the jonin a cold look, which made the other party subconsciously feel palpitations.

"Don't move, or I won't promise to cut you down as well."

After Xue Hui finished speaking, he ignored the group of grass ninjas who had suffered a lot of injuries.

"My purpose is very simple." Xue Hui looked at the masked jailbreak ninjas.

"Just killing people, the more the better."

Xue Hui said lightly, accompanied by the breeze in the arena, it made these people feel as if they were in hell.

"Damn it! A mere person dares to sabotage our plan!"

Although they were shocked by Xuehui, these masked ninjas were still relieved, and they sneered, not to be outdone, as if they were bracing their courage.

Xue Hui glanced at the person who made the sound.

"Hmph, Five Types, Crescent Moon Slash!"

The demon knife put into the scabbard beside Xue Hui seemed to disappear for a moment with a flash of white light, and it was thought that when everyone present was dazzled, the masked ninja who had just provoked Xue Hui had already cut his throat.

Covering his throat, he opened his mouth and wanted to breathe desperately, but it turned into a useless struggle, and finally lay down on the ground.

"It's your turn, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Xue Hui spoke softly amidst the panicked eyes of the rest of the people.

"Four Types Momijiri!"

Accompanied by Xuehui's erratic movement, bursts of saber light streaked across the masked ninja's formation, like a falling maple leaf, easily divided into several sections by Xuehui.

With just one move, the opponents were either dead or injured, and relying on the superiority in numbers, the few survivors who managed to escape escaped from the ghost lamp city by rolling and crawling.

Seeing how they were howling all the way, Xue Hui had no intention of chasing them down.

"That's right, there are still a lot of people! It's not in vain."

Xue Hui closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he showed a satisfied smile.

"What else do you want to do?!"

The city lord of grass ninja faintly felt something was wrong.

"I've said it before," Xue Hui replied impatiently, "Kill!"

Then he ignored these dumbfounded Kusanagi, and disappeared again in a flash.

Then what passed into the ears of the Kusanagi were the endless screams of the prisoners held in Ghost Lantern City.
