Seeing that Tanaka remained unmoved, Matsuyama stamped his foot in frustration, but was at a loss for what to do.
"Eh...!"
Without actual command authority, he could only anxiously watch the battle unfold.
At this moment, although the Allied Shinobi Forces had scattered all the Black Armor Cavalry, the individual combat abilities of the cavalrymen remained formidable.
On the other side, a large number of ninjas joined forces to besiege Xiao Zhan, but they were suppressed by him alone. No one could get close to him, no matter where his silver spear pointed.
Looking at Xiao Zhan's almost invincible charging posture, Songshan could only find it hard to believe.
According to the intelligence he had previously obtained, although this prince of the Northern Border was ranked on the Central Plains Power Ranking, he should not be so domineering!
However, this rekindled the hope and confidence of the soldiers on the Central Plains defense line:
"Our chance has come! Slaughter these Japanese!"
"kill!"
Witnessing the mighty Northern cavalry charging through the enemy lines, the soldiers of Central Plains were filled with high morale and launched a fierce counterattack.
Just as Xiao Zhan was preparing to press his advantage, the shadow behind him suddenly twisted.
A poisoned ninja sword appeared out of thin air and silently pierced Xiao Zhan's back!
"Click!"
Before the ninja sword could touch his body, a layer of extremely cold ice armor instantly solidified, blocking the deadly sneak attack.
Xiao Zhan turned around calmly, his body radiating a chilling aura:
"Heh, so there's a Jonin hiding here?"
The Jonin who launched the sneak attack missed his target, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately withdrew and retreated at top speed.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Xiao Zhan shouted coldly, and his black horse neighed and galloped off, instantly catching up with him.
The silver spear emerged like an ice dragon from its cave, piercing straight for his back!
Just as the spear tip was about to pierce the ninja's chest, dozens of invisible attacks came from all directions at the same time!
"Clang—"
Xiao Zhan swung his spear, and the raindrops instantly froze, forming an arc-shaped ice wall that blocked all the attacks.
His cold gaze swept over the ninjas who had surrounded him, and his silver spear slammed into the ice wall.
"Break the ice!"
The ice wall shattered with a deafening roar!
Countless ice spikes, carrying sharp energy, shot out in all directions, sending the surrounding ninjas screaming as they were blasted away, their bodies covered in blood.
Xiao Zhan then looked at the Jonin who had already escaped dozens of feet away, and shook his head slightly:
"It's a waste of effort. The cold only delays the pain, making your body temporarily forget the fatal wound."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the fleeing Jonin suddenly collapsed to the ground. Only after falling did he realize with shock that the silver spear had already pierced his chest without his knowledge.
The surrounding ninjas were all horrified. They never expected that Xiao Zhan would instantly kill a Jonin with a single move. Even when they joined forces to stop him, they couldn't even delay Xiao Zhan for a moment to save their comrades!
Looking at the surrounding Allied Ninja forces, Xiao Zhan spoke indifferently:
"I do not accept surrender here! You will only face death!"
"Prepare to die!"
Xiao Zhan charged forward on his horse, his imposing momentum carrying an overwhelming force that instantly sent a large group of ninjas flying.
"Even a Jonin can't escape; we must kill him!"
A ninja pointed at Xiao Zhan on his warhorse and roared:
"Hurry, or we'll all die!"
Upon hearing this, a ninja quickly formed hand seals, and a blood-red mark was instantly branded onto Xiao Zhan's body.
The ninja then blew a sharp whistle—
In an instant, the eyes of all the ninja allies around them focused on Xiao Zhan!
This is the highest level of coordinated command that is activated only when encountering an absolutely deadly target on the battlefield.
Xiao Zhan immediately felt countless chilling killing intents locking onto him.
As the Allied Shinobi Forces slowly surrounded him, he remained completely calm. His energy surged wildly, and the bone-chilling cold emanating from his body froze the rain into ice!
"A great opportunity!"
"Now!"
"Attack together! Kill him!"
Xiao Zhan suddenly looked up, his silver spear drawing an arc in front of him, the sound as cold as ice:
"A thousand miles frozen over!"
He slammed the silver spear into the ground with force, and the moment the spear tip pierced the earth, a visible ice pattern spread rapidly from the spear tip!
"Click, click..."
Wherever the cold air passes, the rain freezes, the earth turns to ice, and all things perish.
"What...what is this?!"
Just as a Jonin was about to form hand seals to use the Body Flicker Technique, he discovered that his feet were firmly frozen in ice.
He looked down in horror, watching the ice rise rapidly up his legs, his body and blood slowly congealing, freezing inch by inch:
"Quick...save me!"
The cries for help abruptly ceased.
The ninja looked around and found that all the ninjas who had participated in the siege of Xiao Zhan had now been turned into terrified ice sculptures.
Xiao Zhan rode his warhorse slowly to the ice spear and gently pulled it out.
Boom! ...
The ice covering the ground suddenly burst open!
Sharp ice spikes, several meters high, burst from the ground, suddenly forming a menacing forest of ice crystals!
The frozen ninja was instantly pierced by ice spikes, and before the blood could flow, it froze into red beads.
Many more ninjas were thrown into the air by the sudden bulge of the ice. Before they could break free from the ice, they were pierced and torn apart by the whistling ice spikes. Limbs and body parts mixed with ice shards flew everywhere and shattered into countless ice crystals.
In just a few seconds, the large number of ninjas who were besieging Xiao Zhan were all turned into ice shards and dust.
Seeing this scene, the ninjas in the distance were filled with fear, and their teeth chattered from the cold wind blowing in.
"This is no ordinary ice-type ability!"
A surviving Jonin in the distance, though his voice trembled, seemed to have noticed something, pointing at the silver spear in Xiao Zhan's hand:
"That gun has a special power; it can...!"
Just as he was about to reveal the crucial information, Xiao Zhan swept his silver spear, and another ice pattern shot out from it, freezing the Jonin, who hadn't finished speaking, into an ice sculpture.
Xiao Zhan, spear in hand, looked down at the remaining ninja alliance from his high vantage point, his tone icy:
"The harsh winters of the North can freeze a thousand miles of barren land, let alone you clowns?"
Thanks to Xiao Zhan's extensive sweep, the Northern Iron Cavalry quickly helped the Central Plains soldiers fight their way back.
Seeing this scene from the distant Allied Ninja Command, Matsuyama was so shocked that he almost dropped the scroll in his hand and staggered back two steps.
"The tide has turned...the tide has turned!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhan's northern cavalry was about to retake the Central Plains defense line, and that the gains they had just made were about to be handed over again, Song Shan couldn't help but pace back and forth, muttering to himself:
"The situation is not good."
He still doesn't understand why Tanaka has been holding back his troops. He only knows that if this war to seize the Central Plains defense line fails, there will probably never be another excellent opportunity for inside and outside cooperation, and the Japanese will completely lose their chance to advance into the interior.
On the northern border defense line, not only the Central Plains garrison but also the Ninja Alliance could feel another terrifying aura approaching.
Rumble...
"Something's behind us! It's moving incredibly fast!" Many people turned around to look behind them.
“That direction…” The soldiers from Zhongzhou turned around and looked on with anticipation.
The ninjas, however, looked into the distance, filled with fear.
Because those coming from that direction must be reinforcements from Zhongzhou.
