Upon hearing Zhao Kui's words, Zhao Yujin knew that this situation was very disadvantageous for her.
Having come up with a plan, Zhao Yujin turned around and rushed towards Zhao Kui's location.
Kawashima quickly realized Zhao Yujin's intention and stepped in front of Zhao Kui in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her target appear, Zhao Yujin smiled. Her goal had been achieved. She remembered that the ninja's weakness was...
Melee!
Zhao Yujin quickly closed in, gathering his spiritual power in his fists and unleashing the Bear Play technique.
The Zhao family's unique martial arts technique, "Beast Play," is a boxing style developed by the Zhao family founder based on the characteristics of animals. It consists of five techniques: Tiger Play, Monkey Play, Bird Play, Deer Play, and Bear Play.
Among them, tiger and bear plays focus on strength, mostly using fists as the means of attack; bird and deer plays focus on speed, mostly using legs as the means of attack; while monkey plays are quite special, focusing on skill.
Kawashima quickly raised his hands to defend himself, but only took a few steps back and was not seriously injured.
The opponent has protective gear!
This exchange gave Zhao Kui time to react. He quickly dodged to the side, and somehow managed to grab a dagger, which he was about to use to slash at Zhao Yujin.
Zhao Yujin quickly used his bird-fighting technique, forcefully pushing off the ground and leaping into the sky to dodge Zhao Kui's attack, then kicked at Zhao Kui.
But this gave Kawashima an opportunity, and a kusarigama suddenly appeared in his hand.
The kusarigama is a weapon unique to Japan. It consists of a chain with a sickle attached to one end and an iron ball attached to the other. It can be used for both close combat and ranged attacks, and the chain can also restrict the movement of enemies.
Kawashima gripped one end of the sickle, swung the chain sickle, and the iron ball at the other end flew towards Zhao Yujin.
Unable to dodge in mid-air, Zhao Yujin had no choice but to take the hit.
Zhao Yujin landed on the ground and quickly steadied herself.
"Spicy enough, I like it," Kawashima couldn't help but praise Zhao Yujin's figure. "There's an old saying in China: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I'll give you a chance. As long as you're willing to serve me, I'll guarantee your safety."
"You're dreaming," Zhao Yujin said coldly.
"Ungrateful!" Kawashima stopped wasting words with Zhao Yujin and disappeared.
Kawashima kept Zhao Yujin occupied from the shadows, while Zhao Kui constantly sought opportunities to harass him, thus distracting Zhao Yujin.
As the number of attacks from the two increased, Zhao Yujin gradually found herself on the defensive.
Just then, the rain gradually stopped, and the moon suddenly filled the night.
Zhao Yujin felt that the efficiency of the spiritual energy circulation in his body was higher. The restless power that originally belonged to the mortal realm immediately calmed down, and he felt that he had inexhaustible energy.
This change delighted Zhao Yujin, who then adjusted her breathing.
Thanks to Zhao Kui's harassment, they escaped Kawashima's attack.
Ninjas are very sensitive to auras. Kawashima could sense that Zhao Yujin's aura was originally chaotic and disordered, but in just a moment, it became calm. This gave Kawashima a bad feeling.
Zhao Yujin's perception was greatly enhanced under the moonlight, and Kawashima's hesitation gave Zhao Yujin an opportunity.
Zhao Yujin used Bird Play to quickly approach, then used Tiger Play in one direction, gathering spiritual power at the very tip of his fist to double the power of his punch.
Zhao Kui thought Zhao Yujin had gone mad and started talking nonsense. His smile was practically reaching the sky, and he was about to utter some sarcastic words.
The next second, Kawashima flew out from that direction and fell straight to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking like he had suffered a serious injury.
Zhao Kui was completely bewildered. He knew Kawashima's strength very well; at the same level, no one should be able to detect his disguise.
Yes! It was a guess, it must have been a guess!
A sense of doubt and resentment rose in Zhao Kui's heart. He couldn't understand why Zhao Yujin was so powerful. After all, Zhao Kui had always believed that he was the most talented and promising member of the Zhao family.
Faced with the strength displayed by Zhao Yujin, he felt extremely shocked and frustrated.
Kawashima couldn't believe that Zhao Yujin could find him, so he immediately concealed his presence again and hid in the shadows.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Yujin repeated the operation she had just performed.
Kawashima cried out in pain and was thrown out of the shadows. His clothes were torn at the chest and his armor had been punched in the chest.
Zhao Yujin gave Kawashima no time to react. Before he could get up, she used a move called "Deer Play" to shatter the armor on his chest.
Upon seeing the armor shattered, Kawashima quickly used his kusarigama to restrict and prevent the opponent from making any further moves.
The sickle was aimed at Zhao Yujin's calf, while Zhao Kui also used a dagger to stab Zhao Yujin from behind.
Zhao Yujin clicked her tongue and used a monkey trick to break free. She reacted instantly, slightly shifting her body and extending one foot to gently kick Zhao Kui's calf.
This kick, though seemingly simple, actually contained ingenious technique and power control. Zhao Kui, who was originally charging straight at Zhao Yujin, lost his balance due to the kick to his leg, and his body involuntarily tilted to one side.
"ah!"
Zhao Kui's dagger plunged into Kawashima's inner thigh, so close that it would immediately jeopardize the man's happiness for the rest of his life.
"Kawashima-kun!" Zhao Kui quickly drew his dagger.
"Ugh!" Kawashima winced in pain again.
Kawashima slowly stood up, his face no longer showing the pain he had just endured, as if the injury he had just suffered was nothing to him.
He glared at Zhao Kui, who quickly explained, "It's not my fault, it's all this woman's fault."
Zhao Yujin wasn't interested in their infighting; she keenly noticed that Kawashima's injuries seemed to have healed.
