Chapter 66: Sneak Attack

  First update, seeking collection, recommendation votes, member clicks... thank you!

  ……

  "The grade of the Guiding Poison Grass is very low, as long as there is spiritual energy present, it can almost grow anywhere." Chen Qing Emperor thought to himself while searching: "The spiritual energy in this Lingwu Mountain may be thin, but it's still spiritual energy, why isn't there any Guiding Poison Grass?"

  "Keep searching, if you can't find the antidote, I'll have to use my full strength to expel the poison from Huang Ying's body." Chen Qing Emperor shook his head, he was unwilling to do so unless absolutely necessary.

  Doing so would not only be exhausting, but also extremely draining on his spiritual energy. More importantly, once he chose this method, Chen Qingyu wouldn't be able to use the spiritual energy within his body for at least three days, unless he recovered to his peak state.

  Consuming spiritual energy doesn't necessarily mean it will be completely depleted, but within three days, the remaining spiritual energy cannot be mobilized, or else it would damage the foundation. This also means that before the spiritual energy in Chen Da Sha's body has fully recovered, he is unable to use his martial power.

  Unable to use force is equivalent to having no combat effectiveness.

  In the current situation, having no combat power is absolutely a very dangerous thing for Chen Qingdi.

  So, Chen Qingdi was unwilling to take risks unless absolutely necessary.

  Of course, if they really can't find the poisonous grass, Chen Da Xia would never just watch as Huang Ying's mother dies without doing anything.

  "Ah, let's keep searching." Chen Qingdi took a deep breath and quickly headed deeper into the Lingwu Mountains. With his keen eyesight, everything he passed by was taken in at a glance.

  In this way, two hours passed and Chen Qingdi had already arrived at a very deep place in Lingwu Mountain.

  "Huh? All the plants around are weak and deformed, does it have the sign of where the poisonous grass grows?" Chen Qingdi's whole body shook as he looked ahead, his heart filled with excitement. Of course, Chen Dashi knew clearly about the environment in which the poisonous grass grew and the phenomenon of the surrounding plants.

  Rattlebox grass, although it has the effect of attracting poison, also contains toxins. Although it does not kill the surrounding plants with poison, it will affect the growth of other plants.

  In the same forest, where there is no poisonous grass, various plants are lush and thriving; while in places with poisonous grass, various plants seem to be malnourished and stunted, and even become deformed.

  "Finally found you, grandma's, wasted so much of my time." Chen Qingdi carefully pulled out a dark green, palm-sized, cloud-shaped poisonous weed from the ground.

  Then, Chen Qingdi took out a previously prepared jade box and carefully placed the poisonous grass in it, replacing the fake one, just about to stand up.

  "Huh?" Chen Qingdi, who had yet to stand up, felt a tremble in his heart, and all the pores on his body opened up as a dangerous aura surged towards his heart.

  Chen Qingdi, in a half-crouching position, didn't even think about it and didn't look back, his body rolled on the ground and directly drilled into the grass thicket.

  Right after that, a cold gleam flashed in the place where Chen Qingdi was originally squatting.

  "What's going on? Is it a ninja?" Rolling into the bushes, Chen Qingdi, who was somewhat embarrassed, found that there was no one around him, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

  Chen Da Shao, who had just dealt with the ninja, immediately thought of the ninja when he was ambushed.

  "This ninja's hiding technique is quite good, I couldn't even find his trail." Chen Qingdi in the grass, didn't rush out, but narrowed his eyes into a line, looking around.

  Specifically, Chen Dashao was looking at the ground around him.

  Having fought with the ninja before, Chen Qingdi keenly discovered that the ninja's hiding technique had a flaw. In places with grass and soft ground, it was especially obvious.

  You cast a stealth spell, but you still have weight, and wherever you go, you will leave footprints.

  "Huh? He's actually gone." Chen Qingdi looked around, raising an eyebrow, thinking to himself: "Could it be that he missed with one blow and chose to leave? No way, that sense of crisis still exists, he hasn't left."

  "There's no leaving, nor is the grass trampled down... In that case, he isn't on the ground." Thinking this, Chen Qingyun secretly thought to himself: "I'm currently in the thicket, and he can't find an opportunity to make a move. Well, I'll give him the chance to make a move."

  Thinking of this, Chen Qingdi took a deep breath and carefully walked out of the grass, at the same time, two escape symbols had appeared in his hand.

  The stealth symbol can indeed make the ninja who casts the stealth technique elusive, but if you don't know the general direction of the ninja, the stealth symbol is also useless.

  After all, the Escape Symbol is just a first-class symbol seal and cannot be omnipotent.

  "Want to launch a sneak attack? You don't know whether you're dead or alive." Chen Qingdi raised an eyebrow, coldly sneering in his heart. His body moved and he quickly attacked the empty air behind him.

  Bang!

  With a muffled sound, the "air" that was punched by Chen Qingdi let out a muffled sound. Immediately, a ninja covered in black cloth, with only his eyes and mouth exposed, suddenly appeared and flew backward.

  "Pffft!"

  The ninja who had flown out backwards spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with incredulity. How could he not dare to believe that Chen Qing Emperor was actually able to discover him and severely injure him?

  "Shh!"

  The ninja in mid-air somersault was shocked but didn't dare to stay for a moment, quickly finished the seal and wanted to continue casting the concealment technique.

  "Want to hide again? Too late." Chen Qingdi sneered, and the two Escape Talismans in his hand were quickly thrown out. The ninja who had just disappeared reappeared once more.

  This left the ninja shocked and amazed, his eyes wide with unbelief. He continued to seal the technique, but found that he was unable to cast the stealth jutsu. Even if he successfully sealed it, he couldn't achieve the effect of hiding.

  This time, let that ninja know that he has met a master, and it's a master who can break through his stealth technique.

  For ninjas, their greatest forte is not head-on combat, but rather covert operations and assassination using various ninja techniques, which is also the most fearsome aspect of ninjas.

  Once the stealth technique loses its effect, a ninja's combat strength will rapidly decrease by 90% or more.

  Now, this ninja's greatest reliance in front of Chen Qingdi has lost its effect, and continuing to fight on would be an act of seeking death.

  Next, what the ninja had to do was escape.

  "Want to escape?" Seeing the opponent, the ninja who had nowhere to hide did not fight back and escaped. He didn't even ask about the long sword that was knocked down. Chen Qingdi's body moved, he picked up the long sword and quickly chased after him.

  No matter what reason this ninja appeared in Lingwu Mountain for, but proactively ambushing Chen Qingdi would only lead to a dead end.

  Besides, previously, when Nakajima Kitashin wanted to kill Chen Qingdi, there were also three ninjas involved. Who knows if this ninja was also here to kill Chen Da Shao?

  "Whoosh!"

  "Whoosh!"

  "Whoosh!"

  Seeing Chen Qingdi chasing after him, the ninja who was escaping didn't even look back, and with a flick of his hands, a dense barrage of flying darts shot out, emitting dazzling azure light as they hurtled towards Chen Qingdi.

  "Poison!"

  Chen Qingdi recognized it at a glance, the azure light on the flying dart was highly toxic. Without slowing down, he swung his long knife and all the darts were deflected to both sides without exception.

  "What a sinister and vicious thing to do!" Chen Qingdi looked at the flowers, grass, and trees that had been hit by the flying darts and were rapidly rotting and withering, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

  Too poisonous.

  "After that Sato Shōchō was beaten by me and left, this ninja appeared again within the borders of Huaxia. It's very likely that Sato Shōchō found him to deal with me." Chen Qingyun thought to himself as he chased after them, "If it's like that, then the ninjas infiltrating Huaxia definitely aren't just one person. I must be careful. At the same time, I also need to kill all of them."

  Threat!

  No matter what kind of threat it is, Chen Qingdi dislikes and hates it extremely, and all must be annihilated in the shortest time.

  "Huh? Another ninja, and a soldier from Huaxia." Chen Qingyun chased and killed all the way, suddenly discovering that the ninja he was chasing had joined forces with another ninja. Moreover, the second ninja had also captured a heavily injured Huaxia soldier.

  Only to see that the ninja who was being pursued by Chen Qingdi said something to the second ninja, and his eyes were filled with incredulity and terror.

  Chen Qingdi didn't understand, but he could guess the general meaning: it was something like, "The hiding technique is useless in front of Chen Dashi."

  Immediately afterwards, the second ninja said a few more words, and then the second ninja kicked that Han Chinese soldier to the ground. The two grasped their long knives and attacked Chen Qingdi together.

  "Looking for death!"

  Chen Qing's body moved slightly, and the spiritual energy inside him burst out instantly, accelerating his speed to the extreme. He quickly approached the second ninja, who was about to be killed first.

  The first ninja had already been hit by Chen Da Shao's two Concealment Talismans and was no longer a threat. The second ninja, seemingly believing the first ninja's words, surprisingly gave up on using his stealth technique.

  "Pffft!"

  A cold gleam flashed by, and the second ninja only felt a flower in front of his eyes. He thought it was fast, and he stood still on the spot. The first ninja also saw a cold gleam, feeling an unbearable severe pain in his chest, and his face changed drastically.

  Pong!

  Pong!

  Immediately following that, two muffled sounds rang out. The two ninjas simultaneously fell to the ground, dead with their breath extinguished. Until death, they did not know what had killed them.

  Fast, too fast, so fast they didn't even see it.

  Chen Qingdi didn't even glance at the two ninjas, holding a long knife, and came to the front of the heavily injured Huaxia soldier who was knocked to the ground.

  "Those two ninjas have already been killed by me." Chen Qingdi raised an eyebrow, grasped the wrist of this Huaxia soldier and said lightly: "You're not seriously injured, just a bit weak from running for a long time and losing too much blood."

  "Th-thank you... thank you for saving me!" The Huaxia soldier, his face deathly pale, struggled to get up from the ground, shook his head, and stared at Chen Qing in shock, exclaiming: "I-is it really you?"

  "Huh? Do you know me?" Chen Qing raised an eyebrow, puzzled in his heart. He didn't recognize the person in front of him at all. Besides, with your whole face painted with watercolors, dirty and messy, who could recognize you?

  "I... I'm Liu Yicun, we met once in Guangchang Garden, you even fought with our Lao Da..." At this point, Liu Yicun's face turned red.

  Liu Yicun could clearly remember that Lei Laoda, Lei Bao, whom he had admired at first, was defeated by Chen Dashao.

  "Oh, I remember now." Chen Qingdi's memory had always been strong, and with Liu Yicun's words, he suddenly remembered. "Liu Yicun, how did you end up here? How did you encounter those ninjas?"

  "Assassins? You killed those two assassins?" Seeing Chen Qingdi nod, Liu Yicun's face filled with pleading as he said: "You... can you please help me rescue the other brothers, the other brothers were caught by the assassins."

  Liu Yicun originally wanted to escape and call for help, but due to his injuries, he eventually ran out of strength and was caught. Just as he had lost all hope, he unexpectedly met Chen Qingdi.

  Moreover, Chen Qingdi's strength was extremely powerful and easily beheaded those two ninjas.
