Over a dozen red-clothed ninjas began their Iaidō-style ninjutsu, and their piercing blade light cut through the air, heading straight for Aaron. But neither Murakami nor Madame Gao, who was watching from a distance, expected what happened next.
Aaron slowly raised his hand, and a transparent wall seemed to materialize in front of him. The blades were completely stopped, unable to penetrate the barrier.
Murakami's sword was different from the other ninjas'—it contained a secret technique from Kunlun, capable of tearing the young man to shreds. But he was shocked to see Aaron simply raise his arm, wave it gently, and send the ninjas flying off the roof.
"Boom!!!"
The movements were gentle, but the ninjas were thrown from the roof and embedded firmly in the ground below. Aaron then slowly raised his arm again. Instantly, Murakami felt something tightening around his neck. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from this strange force.
"You! You have powers!"
"Hmm..." Aaron stared at him. Murakami, looking directly into Aaron's eyes, felt a sudden suffocating sensation.
"I'd guess..."
"Boom!!!"
Before he could react, Murakami found himself falling off the roof. As an "old monster," his physique was different. Aaron's attack only broke a few of his ribs; he didn't die instantly.
"I'm here to negotiate. Give me the dragon bones, and we can forget what happened!"
But at that moment, a ninja suddenly broke from behind him and rushed in front of Murakami.
"Kudo-san!!"
Boom!!!
Without warning, without time to react, the ninja in front of him was crushed into pieces, splattering across Murakami's face. In an instant, over a dozen of his red-clothed ninjas were dead. There were no bodies, just a huge, deep crater in the ground.
"I hate blood."
Aaron casually wiped his palms. With a blank expression, he stared at Murakami. "You, and the person hiding behind you, come out..."
As soon as he spoke, Madame Gao emerged from a nearby corner. She was the old woman from the day before who had offered five dollars for Aaron's painting.
"The reason I didn't want to see you is because you insulted my art with five dollars." Aaron tapped his finger lightly, and Madame Gao immediately collapsed to her knees. "But you people never seem to know when to stop..."
She collapsed again. A strong smell of blood emanated from her body, and a force directed only at her shattered her kneecaps. The broken bones pierced her blood vessels, creating deep cracks in her thighs. Blood poured out, and Madame Gao stared at Aaron with rage.
"You!" Murakami's eyes showed a hint of fear. The Five Fingers of the Hand were all from Kunlun and had lived for a long time, so they took life and death lightly. But living was their only desire.
"Death, or submit to me?" Aaron asked softly.
"Hmph!" At that moment, Murakami drew his sword, yelled, and charged at Aaron. His speed was incredible. But a ball of light slowly appeared in Aaron's palm, and Murakami felt an overwhelming sense of dread. It was the boundary between life and death. If he touched it, he would fall into eternal hell.
"A bunch of idiots..."
Whoosh!
A silver bullet, engraved with ancient runes, shot from a distance. It was a special tool to kill evil beings. But it stopped just a centimeter from Aaron's face and fell into his hand.
"It smells bad..."
The ball of light in Aaron's hand expanded. Murakami fell straight to the ground in front of him.
"Yes, and you."
Aaron looked in Madame Gao's direction. She had turned into a pile of dry bones, which then disintegrated into ash and was blown away by the wind.
"This!"
On a nearby rooftop, Alexandra, another high-ranking member of the Hand, was about to shoot Aaron with a sniper rifle. But she suddenly realized her target had disappeared. The breath of death surged up behind her.
"Are you looking for me?"
Alexandra was terrified by the cold, chilling voice behind her.
