#141 - Turning Point 1: Operation Greenland Ice Sea (IX)

Three years ago, the cliff.

Many skills are essential for a ninja, and escaping from dangerous situations is one of them.

Even with bound legs, one must still find a way to survive in danger… even at a great cost, one must live.

Putting life and death aside.

To entrust the mayfly to heaven and earth, a grain of millet in the vast sea. I grieve for the brevity of my life, and envy the endlessness of the Yangtze River. To hold a flying immortal and wander, to embrace the bright moon and end forever. Knowing it cannot be obtained suddenly, entrusting the lingering sound to the sad wind.

Under these circumstances, Judas Mai quickly and completely merged herself with nature, and what she saw and felt was the perception of all things in heaven and earth, and nothing else.

How many years had it been? The moment had finally arrived.

To go to the border between life and death, or to survive and truly become a qualified Ninja Sect disciple.

She slowly closed her eyes.

She planned to take advantage of this day to try to do her morning practice one last time as a disciple who was about to be 'expelled from the sect,' and to meditate on the Zen techniques of the Ninja Sect for two hours.

Just then, a goshawk flew by, and the friction between its black wings suddenly cut the rope.

"Whoosh!"

The scenery around her body quickly blurred, and the long-lost feeling of weightlessness struck again. Judas Mai only felt particularly calm, her gaze fixed on the distant mountains and verdant greenery.

The sky was as blue as ice.

Rocks, clouds, forests… getting closer and closer. At this moment, Judas Mai turned into a pool of shadows and fell into a clear spring at the foot of the mountain, reflecting the rolling white clouds at the end of the sky.

Her master, who had been waiting here for a long time, was still wearing his general's armor, and the gaps in the mask on his face revealed his eyes, which were kind. The long knife in his hand was sheathed.

"Success, just as I expected."

"Judas Mai, you are a ninjutsu genius that our Ninja Sect has seen once in three thousand years."

"As long as you don't give up your potential, no one in this world will be able to notice your aura, not even me. This is your talent."

The Sect Leader said, looking at the goshawk above his head.

"It seems it helped you out. Although I can't see your existence from my perspective, I know that you have awakened the Word Spirit called 'Netherglow'."

"My time is limited. Although the Ninja Sect has declined, it will be passed on by you next. A hybrid who can awaken on their own in such a crisis can be enshrined and sacrificed in ancient times. Don't underestimate yourself."

Judas Mai floated out of the water, her eyes glowing with crimson gold. Her whole body was half-hidden and half-visible under the effect of Netherglow, like a cloud of ink spreading out in the water: "But Master… how long is 'time is limited' specifically?"

"Maybe ten years, maybe half a month, not much."

"Maybe ten hours, maybe half a minute, not much."

"If you still have any tricks, go help your good friend, Su Enxi."

The Sect Leader's words were very indifferent.

Ice blue, like the sky, the two of them descended from this high altitude, and before long, they ushered in a tragic end. All means had already become exhausted.

Su Enxi's hands trembled slightly, and she only felt an inexplicable anger brewing rapidly in her heart.

Beast…

Beast…

Beast…

Her fingers clenched so tightly that they were about to deform, her nails digging into her flesh. She looked at this Sect Leader who had long lost his human intelligence, and her lips were about to move in the next moment.

"Pfft… pfft…"

"Hmm? You're still alive."

The Sect Leader looked at Judas Mai, who was covered in blood on the ground, with some surprise.

He had unleashed dozens of piercing wounds in an instant, which, in theory, would be enough to completely crush Judas Mai, and no modern medical means could cure her.

But now it seemed that the other party was still alive?

"I understand…"

The Sect Leader slowly raised his knife: "You and I are the same kind."

Only to see dragon scales growing on Judas Mai's body, as conspicuous as snake scales. The ice layer under her feet, stained with blood, gradually began to collapse, revealing a deeper layer.

Unlike Su Enxi.

Judas Mai had injected the blood of the Ancient Dragon countless times… Perhaps those blood had already turned into energy, rooted in her bloodline, or perhaps they had already secretly changed her structure of being born as a human.

"Both forced to lower the bottom line for survival, and to face their desires for the sake of survival."

"This is the great righteousness of mankind, the heart of man in the depths of our innate bloodline, the insatiable greed."

"Do you know… how delighted I was when I learned that the Dragon Lord had the power to grant people eternal life, because I could finally no longer worry about the continuation of the Ninja Sect. This world doesn't need ninjas anymore, as long as I'm here."

The Sect Leader repeatedly rubbed the weapon in his hand, which contained alchemical power, with his armored fingers.

He finally smiled in relief.

Su Enxi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her backpack had already been confiscated by the Sect Leader, and all she could rely on at this time was herself.

"Forget it, there's no use saying so much."

Finally ceasing to speak, the Sect Leader raised his knife and brought it down.

"Buzz!"

However, it was only an instant.

Judas Mai dodged his attack in an instant, stood up like a ghost, and flashed to the rear, then quickly raised a sword and parried.

"Not bad, that's the ninja's Shunpo."

A hint of contemplation slowly appeared in the Sect Leader's eyes.

"Judas Mai, or rather, the current Sect Leader of the Ninja Sect, I think you should know one thing, and that is that your skills cannot compete with me."

"Even if you are a genius that comes along once in three thousand years, it is impossible to reach the realm that I have exhausted my life to reach so quickly… Of course, if you haven't slacked off in the past few years and are still as diligent as you were on the mountain, it is still possible."

Again, the man's moments seemed endless.

That body, which had been alienated by dragon blood, was already beyond the scope that mortals could resist. Judas Mai barely blocked a few swords before quickly shifting across the ice surface.

"Now! Long Legs!"

Su Enxi quickly pulled out something resembling a shining flint from her clothes and slammed it onto the ice. Instantly, a circle of white smoke billowed around them.

This was a homemade smoke bomb, made from a mixture of anti-wolf spray and some alchemical stones.

However, before Shūde May's figure could appear.

The Sect Leader suddenly flashed out from the white smoke, two swords flying towards Su Enxi.

The cold light of the ice reflected on the swords, without any aura, not even the white mist from his breath. How could someone in this world be able to fight while suppressing their breathing!

"Boom!"

Shūde May quickly blocked the swords.

At this moment, dragon scales were growing on her arms, and countless enamel-like bones spread out from her clothes, making her look like a skeletal frame about to be completely eroded.

Between the flashing swords, the Sect Leader's movements would occasionally accelerate, while Shūde May would occasionally transform into ink that disappeared into the air. The two forces intertwined.

Alchemical weapons had tremendous area-of-effect power. Even with just a few simple collisions, the world beneath this ice cave felt like it was about to collapse.

"Actually, I lied to you back then."

Shūde May said slowly, looking at the Sect Leader, who was still wearing a mask. His white hair shone particularly brightly in the romantic silver and blue colors beneath the ice.

"I think your time limit isn't ten years, but now."

"After all..."

"My Spirit Vision has had a new breakthrough just now."

She suddenly disappeared.

As if she never existed at all, even the Sect Leader couldn't capture Shūde May's figure.

Just as she said, as long as Shūde May didn't fail her potential, then no one in the world could discern her whereabouts.

The Sect Leader gradually felt that something was wrong.

Because it wasn't just that the other party had disappeared, the ability to distort light couldn't achieve this at all. He also felt that the air around him was becoming more and more viscous.

He felt as if he was in an endless desert, struggling to move forward, and even wanting to run would seem to damage all the functions of his body.

This emotion is called... fear.

It was like an ant trying to fight a lion.

Even though he had received blood and become a Dragon Servant, the whole

"No way..."

He looked at the air in front of him. For some reason, the Sect Leader felt that Shūde May was still standing there.

"Shadow Heart?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw her entire body suddenly transform into a black pigment, standing in the space in front of him.

This pigment churned and turned into a sphere, with countless inks churning within. Even looking at it, one could feel the terrifying power contained within.

Thousands of years ago, the founder of the Ninja Sect, the first Ninja Head, also achieved such a state.

Later generations called it Shadow Heart.

Just as the Kamaitachi can transform into a blood-sucking sickle, the Spirit Vision also has a higher-level spirit after bloodline purification, except that it has greater and stronger lethality, leaving no grass in its wake.

That is a crushing machine.

It seemed as if the passage of swords could tear apart all living things in the world, as if simply passing through could transform oneself into a Buddhist kingdom to save the souls of all beings.

Endless gusts of wind blew out from that black pigment, the Spirit Vision superior known as "Shadow Heart", possessing the terrifying power to truly shatter everything.

Although no one has actually tested it.

But at least it can be equated to a Black Sun of the same level.

"It's over."

The Sect Leader held up his sword hilt for the last time, the short run seeming to have run through the road of his life.

"Boom!"

A real game never requires many rounds.

For Shūde May, in her current state, the Sect Leader would soon die out.

And the facts also proved that she was right.

His entire body was suddenly shattered by the Spirit Vision, and he collapsed weakly on the ground. The seemingly indestructible blade was instantly covered with holes.

This knife fell weakly to the ground, and was eventually quickly destroyed by the swept Shadow Heart.

Shūde May landed.

"Tap."

Her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, leaving no sound on the ice, and her eyes seemed to contain no complex emotions.

"Goodbye, Master."

The Sect Leader never took another breath.

Su Enxi stared blankly at the scene in front of her. For some reason, the first feeling that came to her was not relief, but an indescribable feeling, as if Shūde May had changed.

"You..."

She looked at the layers of dragon scales emerging from the other party's body, the pupils in her eyes constantly trembling.

"It's nothing, this is just the price."

"What's a saying, all the gifts of fate have long been marked with a price in secret."

Shūde May's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

That kind of moment reminded her of her life in the Ninja Sect. Under extreme danger, she once again entered a state of awakening.

It's just that this state is ultimately temporary.

The dragon scales on her body quickly receded back into her skin, and the clothes on her body looked tattered. She sat weakly on the ground, and Su Enxi quickly helped her up.

"No, we can't fall down now."

"You still have to tell me clearly, what exactly is going on, and how many times have you injected Ancient Dragon Fetal Blood before?"

"Dozens of times... I can't remember."

"Oh my god, you're completely inhuman. Do you know how scared I was just now?" Su Enxi quickly put on a look of fear: "Don't play with that thing again in the future."

"It's too late."

Shūde May said in a deep voice.

"Although I don't know what the founding ancestor of that Ninja Sect was like, I bet he definitely drank far more Ancient Dragon Fetal Blood than I did, otherwise the Spirit Vision would not have been able to transform to this extent."

"And the form of my spirit also needs to be used by injecting Ancient Dragon Fetal Blood. Even if it seemed that I had permanently possessed the ability just now, it was just a trial card."

Su Enxi stared blankly at Shūde May: "Then, killing your master, what does it feel like?"

"Separating from relatives and friends, severing ties with good friends, that's all. There have been countless such situations when doing tasks before, and I also know that I will always have such a day."

Shūde May shook her head and smoothed the blood stains on her hair with her hands.

"Let's go, continue to the depths of the ice sea."

"..."

However, at this moment.

In the seemingly empty space in front of her, an incredible figure suddenly appeared.

The Steel Chainsaw Artificer.

And the other party's entire body was like black ink, and he had entered the "Shadow Heart" posture.
