Crap!
The groans of his partners caused Iga TobiRyuu’s hairs to stand as he laid on the ground.
Almost at the same moment, Iga TobiRyuu was engulfed with the terror of being close to coming killed.
Iga TobiRyuu raised his head and saw Jack’s grin. This felt like a sledgehammer pounding forcefully onto Iga TobiRyuu’s chest. In a flash, Iga TobiRyuu’s stabbed his sword into the ground to stop his slide.
But before Iga TobiRyuu drew his sword, Jack had already rushed forward towards him and drew the samurai shuriken.
Stab! Jack plunged the samurai shuriken into Iga TobiRyuu’s abdomen and blood gushed out. The intense pain caused Iga TobiRyuu to panic immediately.
He yelled in agony and frowned deeply and instinctively swung his fist at Jack.
Bash! The punch caused Jack to stumble backward five steps and extended the distance between them. Iga TobiRyuu took the opportunity and struggled onto his feet. He looked down and was furious to see his injuries. Iga TobiRyuu had the feeling of being a survivor. If he had been just a fraction of a second slower, that stab could have been fatal! It showed how deadly Jack’s strike was and his desire to quickly finish this fight. This caused Iga TobiRyuu to have a different view of Jack and Iga TobiRyuu even began to fear Jack.
He quickly composed himself while slowly raising his head. It was dead silent.
“You had anticipated this.” Jack scoffed and continued, “Otherwise how can we be equals?”
Iga TobiRyuu shuddered and looked at Jack’s injured left shoulder and smiled.
The other two ninja lords looked on in fear as Iga TobiRyuu and Jack communicated.
During their fight, they had thought that Jack was only reacting to their attacks but they never expected that Jack already anticipated their plans.
It was their underestimation of Jack that he was almost able to strike Iga TobiRyuu fatally.
Iga TobiRyuu barely survived Jack’s strike. Although Jack was their assassination target, they could not deny that Jack almost ended the fight with just one knife stroke!
