Winner Takes All novel Chapter 846

Plink… plink…

Blood dripped down on top of the bamboo leaves and made a sound.

The smell of the blood gradually overwhelmed the scent of decay in the bamboo forest.

Jack hunched over while his right hand pressed tightly against his left shoulder.

But blood continued to seep out between his fingers, running down his arms and dripping onto the ground.

Iga TobiRyuu slowly withdrew his Katana. He looked at Jack with astonishment.

“You’re… one of the few who survived my Iaido Slash…”

His voice was deep. As he tried to suppress the shock of what just happened. And yet, he couldn’t help but praise Jack, “If it weren’t for the mission, I, Zhuge TobiRyuu would like to befriend you.”

It was hard to convince someone.

It was even harder to subdue an opponent who wanted to take your life.

However, at that moment, the Iga Ninja Lord, Iga TobiRyuu praised Jack from the bottom of his heart.

His voice fell on Jack’s ears.

Jack, however, stretched the corner of his mouth and smiled, “If I had reacted slower, that slash would have split me in half.”

The moment when the lethality approached, Jack swung the bamboo. At the same time, he used all of his strength to sidestep, breaking through the lock on from Iga TobiRyuu’s killing blow.

To be exact.

The swinging of the bamboo was only a momentary delay. Jack’s real aim was to sidestep so that he could break through the lock on from Iga TobiRyuu’s killing blow.

He never had thought that using bamboo was able to parry the lethality. He was thinking about how to survive the lethality, while retaining most of his strength.

And obviously, he had done it!

“I’ve never seen such skills in my entire life.”

Iga TobiRyuu said in a deep voice. The way he looked at Jack became gradually colder, “But I know that you’re just trying to delay. So that your guards can catch up to you. So, I want to have a duel with you in a proper manner!”

What?!

Jack looked aghast.

With a flash in his eyes, he saw a short blade flown towards him with a swoosh.

It was from Iga TobiRyuu who drew his samurai shuriken from his waist and threw it to him.

Whap!

Jack raised his hand and caught the samurai shuriken and swung it in the air. It immediately made a gust of wind from the swing.

“Great blade!”

Jack could not help but praise the craftsmanship of the samurai shuriken. And then, he looked at Iga TobiRyuu with an odd expression, “Are you sure you want to duel with me properly?”

“Didn’t you want to talk about Bushido?”

Iga TobiRyuu slowly stood up and took a step back on his right foot. While inserting his Katana back into its sheath, he looked straight at Jack like a hawk. His gaze was stern, “In the heart of a ninja, there’s no Bushido. There’s only the mission and the will to become stronger!”

“Are you trying to make me your grindstone for your samurai shuriken?

It was clear for Jack as he shook his head and laughed lightly.

“You have the strength to be qualified as one. Your strength is no weaker than an Iga Ninja Lord!”

Iga TobiRyuu replied in a deep voice.

Suddenly.

Wham! Wham!

At that very moment, two loud thuds were being heard in the bamboo forest.

Hidden by the thick bamboo forest, two Ninja Lords leaped out from it by jumping on top of intertwined bamboos.

When they landed, the two Ninja Lords were in much disarray as they could be.

The ninja outfits were torn and tattered by bamboo branches. Their skins were exposed by each gaping hole which still bore blood.

Even with the protection of the mask, parts of their face were exposed and were dripping with blood.

Although there were cuts and bruises everywhere, they weren’t fatal.

But with this wretched appearance was the greatest humiliation to the two Ninja Lord!

“TobiRyuu-kun, you’re going to duel him?”

When one of them saw the samurai shuriken in Jack’s hand, anger rose in his eyes, “TobiRyuu-kun, we’re on a mission. This is not a child’s play!”

“He survived from my Iaido Slash, and this gave me the will to duel with him!”

Without looking back, Iga TobiRyuu responded to the scolding Ninja Lord.

Rumble!

The two Ninja Lords felt like they were struck by lightning.

With terrified eyes, they looked at Jack, who was standing across them.

They knew the power of Iga TobiRyuu’s Iaido Slash, and even the two of them couldn’t even take it on without injuring themselves.

Yet Jack… had already taken it with just an arm injury. Which was indeed amazing!

“With the three of us Ninja Lords here. Even if his reinforcement arrived, couldn’t we three be able to kill him instantly?”

The questioning voice of Iga TobiRyuu was heard once again.

The two Ninja Lords with the wretched appearance looked at each other and gave a simultaneous nod.
