The ninja was suspended in mid-air, looking utterly disheveled.

"Wake him up," Lin Chuan ordered.

Zhou Kai immediately nodded and splashed a basin of water directly onto the ninja's face. The ninja quickly came to his senses, slowly opening his eyes. However, he soon realized he seemed to be in a very strange place, surrounded entirely by people. The ninja was startled and began to struggle violently.

"Stop struggling," Lin Chuan said in perfect Tokyo-accented Japanese.

"Are you Japanese?" the ninja asked in surprise.

"No, I'm Chinese," Lin Chuan looked at the ninja and said, "There's nothing strange about me speaking Japanese. Don't many Japanese people also speak Chinese?"

The ninja furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you want?"

"Tell me about the mastermind behind you," Lin Chuan glanced at him and said, "I don't want to kill you, so don't force me to. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."

The ninja gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you can kill me?"

"Do you think you can escape from here?" Lin Chuan looked at him disdainfully.

The ninja was taken aback. He quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and soon, his body began to turn translucent, gradually disappearing in mid-air.

Wow...

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Oh my god, did he really turn invisible?"

"Is there really an Invisibility Technique in the world? This... this is terrifying!"

The onlookers were panicked, and even Zhou Kai was startled by the scene. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Chuan, what... what is going on here?"

"Don't worry," Lin Chuan laughed and said, "This is just a kind of Invisibility Technique; he's actually still here!"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Lin Chuan in astonishment.

"Didn't he... already disappear?" Lu Dapao quickly asked.

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Well, let me prove it to you!"

With that, Lin Chuan grabbed a dagger and thrust it fiercely into the air.

Thud...

In the transparent air, the dagger mysteriously vanished halfway, and a splash of blood burst out from it. Everyone was dumbfounded. In a short time, the vanished ninja gradually turned from a translucent state back into a solid form. He gritted his teeth, with a pained expression on his face, looking incredibly ferocious.

"Damn it," he roared, "Let me down."

"Want to come down?" Lin Chuan sneered, "Not a chance."

"If you don't let me down, my master will kill you sooner or later." The ninja glared at Lin Chuan in anger and said, "You are going against the Hazama School, and sooner or later, your sect will be exterminated by us."

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan looked at him disdainfully and said, "I have no grudge against your Hazama School, yet you come to take my life. Now that you are defeated by me, you try to use your sect to pressure me. Do you think I'll be afraid? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid. If your entire sect comes, we'll see if I'm scared."

Lin Chuan is, after all, a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect. Although he is not very powerful, he excels in talent. If the Japanese Hazama School really dared to come over, Chinese sects wouldn't stand by idly. There is already constant conflict between the sects of the two countries. If they dare to come so boldly, it will undoubtedly provoke a bloody battle. That's beyond doubt.

"You!" The ninja immediately became angry, gritting his teeth, but didn't know how to counter Lin Chuan.

"I advise you to honestly reveal the mastermind behind the scenes," Lin Chuan smiled and said, "That way, I might leave you with an intact corpse."

Facing a Japanese ninja, not killing wasn't an option. Lin Chuan, being a member of the religious sect, has an irreconcilable animosity with Japanese ninjas, much like the deep-seated hatred between Chinese and Japanese people.

"Don't even think about it, I will never speak," the ninja looked ready to die, saying, "Even if you kill me, I still won't talk. Our great Japanese Empire will never lose to you Chinese. We are the most excellent nation in the world, the most powerful nation in the world."

Smack!

Lin Chuan picked up a stick and swung it hard across the ninja's face.

With one strike, the ninja was immediately dizzy and bleeding from the mouth, two bloodied teeth falling out. Even though he was an omnipotent ninja in Japan, someone respected by everyone, he had now become Lin Chuan's prisoner, unable to escape from Lin Chuan's grasp.

"Still dare to talk like that now?" Lin Chuan held the iron stick.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Chuan, saying, "Kill me, just kill me."

"I won't kill you so easily." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't ninjas like forming seals? Hehe, I'm going to chop off one of your arms now, let's see how you form seals in the future!"

"You!" The ninja was startled and suddenly dumbfounded.

A ninja who loses an arm is no longer a complete ninja. They can never become a qualified ninja again, which is something any ninja fears and dreads. Once you lose an arm or a leg, your strength is clearly severely impacted. Losing an arm means you can't form seals; losing a leg drastically reduces speed and reflexes. So, generally, if a ninja loses an arm or a leg, they're not only expelled from the ninja team but also have all their skills abolished. They become just an ordinary disabled person. This is an outcome any ninja cannot accept.

Thus, getting injured is basically equivalent to death. This is the common conclusion among ninja teams.

Lin Chuan's mouth curled into a sinister smile. He knew the one before him was just an ordinary ninja, not at all a powerful one. At most, a low-level ninja. Had it been a middle-level ninja, he estimated he would have already fallen victim to them. Precisely because the opponent was just a low-level ninja, Lin Chuan believed he had a full chance to take them down. He could intimidate, threaten them.

"Speak." Lin Chuan said with a smile, "Maybe if you talk, I can let you live."

"Really?" The opponent was overjoyed.

"So, hurry up and talk." Lin Chuan grinned.

The opponent gulped; every creature has a survival instinct. Any being has a survival instinct. Ninjas are human too; this low-level ninja in front of him had virtually no resistance when it came to survival. He was willing to exchange his dignity for survival.

"Fine, I'll... I'll talk." The ninja hurriedly nodded and said, "It's Qin Dalei."

"Qin Dalei?!" Everyone shouted in surprise upon hearing this.

No one expected Qin Dalei to backstab them. Once might have been acceptable, but this guy did it repeatedly, first finding two capable subordinates, then hiring two international assassins; now, he's even directly contacted two Japanese ninjas. This guy indeed had some connections.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Brothers, this is why we need to step across borders. There are too many forces abroad waiting for us to break through, waiting for us to break the rules. Since we want to play, we should play big."

"You're right, Brother Chuan." Zhou Kai nodded and said, "Qin Dalei must die. This guy is connected with so many foreign forces; even if we endure it now, he will definitely find ways to trouble us in the future. By then, our families, our friends... their safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Right!" Lu Dapao nodded and said, "This Qin Dalei must die."

At this moment, Liu Cheng asked, "What should we do with this ninja?"

"Kill him!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Someone said, "Why kill him? Let him teach us ninjutsu and the invisibility technique. Then we'd all be ninjas."

Pah!

Zhou Kai slapped the person and scolded, "You fool, do you think learning ninjutsu is that easy? Although I don't understand it myself, I doubt it's that simple and it definitely requires talent. Among us, I'm sure no one can learn ninjutsu."

"Not necessarily." Lu Dapao patted his belly and said, "I think I could learn it."

"You?" Zhou Kai said disdainfully, "You're just a shit-producing tool."

"Damn it, are you bullying me now?" Lu Dapao angrily cursed.

"Yes, bullying you, so what?" Zhou Kai glared at him.

The two quickly started an argument.

"Enough." Lin Chuan intervened to stop them.

"Brother Chuan, you must be the judge." Lu Dapao said, "I said I could learn ninjutsu, but he insists I can't."

"You?" Lin Chuan glanced at him and said, "Ninjas mostly rely on talent; some are born ninjas, some need to unlock their talents. It's said that the selection of a ninja is one in ten thousand, not even one in ten thousand people could be a ninja. You guys should just forget it."

Everyone listened and was speechless; a one in ten thousand chance is way too low.

Lu Dapao was momentarily dumbfounded and awkwardly said, "That... that doesn't mean I can't, right? A one in ten thousand chance, maybe it falls on me?"

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Chuan, what should we do with this guy?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Kill him." Lin Chuan said.

"Alright!" Zhou Kai nodded.

Killing a ninja, it was their first time! They've never seen a ninja in their lives, and now they're going to kill one. Inside, they felt a bit scared and apprehensive. Zhou Kai took a deep breath, and from the side, Liu Cheng quickly said, "Kai, don't we have guns? Let's use the gun to finish him off."

"Right!" Zhou Kai decisively nodded.
