Chapter 248: Thunder Cloak
"Perfect timing!"
Among all these ninjas, only this Ghost Wuxie had any real strength. Li Jiexuan wanted to test his power, so he drew the Kusanagi Sword and met him head-on in his normal physical state.
"Brat, take this strike!" The two short forks, radiating a faint bloody aura, stabbed one after the other toward Li Jiexuan's chest. Ghost Wuxie's face twisted viciously, determined to kill in a single blow!
"Let me see what you're worth!"
Facing the oncoming forks, Li Jiexuan raised the Kusanagi Sword horizontally, firmly intercepting the first fork and holding it in place.
"Nice one, kid let's see how you block this!" Ghost Wuxie's expression sharpened as the steel fork in his right hand accelerated toward Li Jiexuan's abdomen.
If that strike landed solidly, Li Jiexuan would end up with his guts torn open…
"Space-Time Kunai!"
A kunai suddenly appeared in Li Jiexuan's left hand. With a fierce upward flick, it clashed against the incoming fork, sending out a burst of dazzling sparks.
In the clash of strength, the kunai was forced slightly upward, and the fork narrowly sliced through the hem of Li Jiexuan's clothing. This exchange seemed to give Ghost Wuxie a slight upper hand!
In just a single second, the two had already exchanged several blows before quickly separating again…
"Heh heh, kid you've got decent strength for someone your age." Ghost Wuxie tore off the strip of cloth caught on his fork and grinned ferociously. "But compared to me, you're still lacking quite a bit!"
"This fork of yours is actually kind of interesting." Li Jiexuan grinned lightly. He hadn't expected that, in a moment of carelessness, the hem of his shirt would be torn open.
Even without activating the Eight Gates or his Dragon Sage Mode, the fact that Ghost Wuxie could slightly overpower him meant one thing: this man's Jonin-level strength was no exaggeration!
"'Kind of interesting'?" Ghost Wuxie's hearing was still sharp despite his age. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Kid, I'll give you one last chance get lost now, and I'll spare your life!"
At such a young age, possessing this level of strength even Ghost Wuxie was wary of Li Jiexuan's background…
"This must be the heir of some great ninja clan out on training. If I kill him, it might bring serious trouble," Ghost Wuxie thought. Though cautious, he had completely guessed wrong because Li Jiexuan wasn't a clan heir; he was the clan!
"Again!"
Li Jiexuan rolled his neck as faint arcs of electricity began to crackle around his body, stimulating his cells and granting him greater speed and strength!
This was a self-created taijutsu he had developed over more than a year of training. It was similar to the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor, though it hadn't yet reached the level of the "strongest shield." Thunder Cloak that was the name Li Jiexuan had given it!
Thunder Cloak: Uses lightning chakra to stimulate body cells. Current development level: 10%. Increases strength and speed by 10%.
"Crackle… crackle…"
As pale blue lightning surrounded him, Ghost Wuxie's expression grew serious. Enhancing the body with lightning? That seemed like a technique from the Hidden Cloud Village!
"Could this kid be a disciple of the Raikage?" Ghost Wuxie began to hesitate. Killing a successor of the Raikage was no small matter.
Seeing his hesitation, Li Jiexuan couldn't help but laugh. "Pitchfork old man, don't worry I have nothing to do with that Raikage guy."
Hearing this, Ghost Wuxie let out a sigh of relief.
But what he never imagined was that Li Jiexuan had left half a sentence unsaid:
However, the Hidden Sand Village the last one that couldn't even touch me has already been wiped out…
