Within minutes, nearly a thousand people surrounded Gu Yan, led by five elderly men and one middle-aged man.

"Who exactly are you, sir? How dare you trespass into my Yuanzhi Clan and kill my clan leader? Do you think my Yuanzhi Clan has no one to rely on?" The leading elder said calmly, his aura clearly that of a mid-stage Heavenly Ninja.

"Elder, what are you asking? No matter who he is, he must die here today to avenge the clan chief," a middle-aged man said.

"That's right, so what if he can kill the clan leader?"

There are thousands of us here, and some are stronger than the clan leader; we could easily surround him and kill him.

"Kill him."

...

Although I can hear Japanese now, I still think they sound like ghosts howling.

With a fierce slash of the Flaming Dragon Sword, a red sword beam instantly cut more than a dozen people in half at the waist and even cleaved a villa behind them in two.

The crowd was so frightened that they quickly retreated.

"You sent people to steal my Immortal Elixir, can't I take it back?" Gu Yan said, looking at them with a half-smile.

"What? You invented the Immortal Elixir?" Genji Saburo asked in disbelief, not expecting Kogen to be so young.

The leading elder sensed something was wrong; Gu Yan's strength had exceeded his expectations. He then whispered a few words to an elder beside him.

He then cleared his throat and said, "My friend from the Dragon Kingdom, this matter may be a misunderstanding. My Yuanzhi family is not unreasonable. How about we each take a step back?"

"Of course we will provide one billion dragon coins as compensation."

"What? He killed our clan chief, and we have to pay him compensation?"

"What harm would it do to give it to him? Can he even walk out of there?"

...

“If you want to stall for time, go and call your clan leader, then go ahead and do so,” Gu Yan said with a smile.

Before the old man could speak, Gu Yan had already rushed into the deepest part of the crowd. Within a ten-meter radius around him, flying knives danced, instantly taking away dozens of lives.

"Attack! This Dragon Kingdom man must die here today!" the elder said, his expression suddenly turning fierce.

In an instant, hundreds of figures wielding samurai swords rushed towards Gu Yan, while more than three hundred people in the rear unleashed ranged ninjutsu.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what we've been waiting for, elder."

"Itto-ryu·Iai"

"One-Sword Style: Portguin"

"One-Sword Style: Bluebird Sword"

"One-Sword Style: Mizuki Slash"

...

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Fire Release: Flame Bullet

"Wind Release: Wind Blade"

Water Release: Water Blade Slash

...

In an instant, everyone unleashed their best skills, and countless people surrounded him from all angles, displaying their signature One-Sword Style techniques.

In the distance, countless ninjutsu techniques, fireballs, water blades, lightning bolts, and other colorful lights shot out.

"Hahaha, that's more like it! Otherwise, how would I know my own strength?" Gu Yan laughed loudly.

His palms instantly turned red, flowing with spiritual energy. Just as the ninjutsu was about to touch him, he suddenly shouted, "Fire Spirit Palm!"

With a bang.

Suddenly, it was as if a deep ravine had appeared in the ground, pitch black and impossible to see inside.

Apart from the ninjas in the distance who were unharmed, at least four hundred samurai died and their bodies were never found.

"Ah, warriors, quickly step back and spread out. He can't use this kind of trick more than a few times."

"The ninja should continue to wear him down from a distance, don't let him leave this circle!" the stern-faced old man shouted.

Immediately, all the ninjas formed hand seals again, and countless beams of light flew out once more.

Suddenly, a golden-red light flew out of the pit and struck the clan elder who was in command with lightning speed.

This old man is so annoying.

"Heh, I never thought I'd be looked down upon like this." The elder showed no fear, drawing his twin swords to meet the golden-red light, muttering, "Dual Sword Style - Double Slash."

With a tearing sound, half of his body was severed by Gu Yan.

"Ah, elder brother, save me!" the old man cried out in fear.

"Hahaha, you old codger, weren't you so good at yelling?" Gu Yan laughed loudly, showing no injuries, only tattered clothes.

With a flick of his finger, a pebble struck the old man in the groin.

"Ahhh, ugh..." The old man screamed and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

With a flap of his wings, Gu Yan charged towards the remaining Heavenly Ninja.

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated."

"Ah, let's stick together!" an old man shouted generously, but when he saw Gu Yan rushing over, he quickly changed his words.

Genjiro instantly formed a hand seal and disappeared from the ground.

Immediately, all the elders drew their swords, adopting the same starting stance, and confronted Gu Yan.

"Itto-ryu·Iai"

With another tearing sound, Gu Yan pierced through her chest.

"Damn it, you Chinese, if you have the guts, take our ninjutsu head-on."

A ninja leader shouted.

The ancients moved too fast, making it impossible for them to aim.

His response was a beam of golden light.

With a whoosh, his head rolled off.

"Baka yarou, this is outrageous! Bombard us from all sides!" another leader yelled.

Instantly, countless beams of light swept across the sky and resounded.

Gu Yan activated his sword formation, flapped his wings, and rushed to their side.

He patted a ninja on the head, interrupting his ninjutsu.

"Brother, you'd better be more careful in your next life!"

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he removed the head that was filled with fear.

The throwing knives and swords immediately began to spin again.
