The bandits and Ninja did not understand what this move was. But considering it was done by a mere child, they did not take it too seriously.
This slash had no color, so they could not actually see the incoming sword qi.
Instead, they only noticed a gust of wind blowing towards them at high speed, kicking up dust as it approached.
The bandits had never seen any Ninjutsu, so they just relied on their numbers and continued to rush forward.
However, the Ninja were very wary. As the slash approached them, they jumped 2-3 meters high into the air to dodge it.
When the sword qi reached them, it was a full fifty meters wide!
The first to be struck were the bandits, who were running like bulls. They were cut in half directly from the abdomen.
The bandits who followed closely behind them were cut in half before they could react.
Next, the sharp wind generated by the slash struck the jumping Ninja, causing shallow wounds all over their bodies.
Some Ninja had their throats or wrists cut, while others screamed in pain as their nails and skin were torn by the Wind Blades. Almost all of their eyes were scratched by the Wind Blades.
In total, only 4 Genin and 2 Chunin were lucky enough to survive. 1 Chunin and 2 Genin lost both eyes, while the other 2 Genin each lost one eye. They were all terrified.
The first wave of fifty bandits and Ninja were all defeated by a single sword strike. But it was not over yet.
The second wave of bandits had just arrived at the edge of the forest, and they were terrified by what they saw happening to the other bandits. Their faces changed color at the sight of this scene.
The originally colorless slash was now tinged with a hint of blood-red.
Soon, it struck the forest, flying through it, cutting down bandits and trees alike.
Unlike the bandits, this group of Ninja reacted quickly. Some hid underground. Some gathered together to create layered rock shields for protection. Others climbed to the treetops, jumping as high as they could.
After penetrating about 40 meters into the forest, the slash lost its sharpness and gradually disappeared due to the large number of trees in its path.
This attack left the battlefield covered in blood and body fragments. The forest next to the open ground was completely reduced to ruins!
Although this strike was witnessed by many, no one knew that this was the beginning of a legend! In the future, this strike would create a brand new fighting style for that young man, sweeping through the Ninja World!
Hodaka and Mieko were stunned by the result of Feng Zheng's sword strike! Their mouths hung open in shock!
Unlike their shock from Feng Zheng's attack, the fifty bandits on the mountain were terrified by the sight.
The scene was like an extremely terrifying nightmare. Several bandits fainted from fear and trauma. One bandit screamed in horror. This scream woke up the rest, and they began to flee in a panic.
Even the Ninja were scared and retreated along with the bandits.
Tamaochi Norio, who was leading them, wanted to stop them, but he realized that stopping them was meaningless because their morale had already plummeted. So he decided to retreat and regroup.
As he retreated, he looked at the boy wielding the sword and thought to himself.
"Is that a Genin?"
Seeing them about to retreat, Renjiro sighed and created a Shadow Clone.
"I knew Feng Zheng's Wind Blades attack would have such a big impact."
He sneered as he looked at the scrambling bandits.
"These guys are really unlucky."
He and his Shadow Clone clapped their hands on the ground, and a large amount of Chakra poured into it. They performed Earth Release: Rock Avalanche and Earth Release: Mud River Technique respectively.
As soon as their hands pressed to the ground, a rock avalanche formed and began to roll down the mountain.
As the Ninja were about to flee, the ground beneath their feet turned into mud, causing them to lose their balance and fall.
One by one, they all fell into the mud river, including the Jonin. A few seconds later, the rock avalanche flowed down.
Both the bandits and the Ninja saw the terrifying scene before them. They were unable to move, their legs trapped in the mud river.
The mud river began to drag them down the slope, towards the assassins at the bottom of the mountain.
And before them, huge rocks were rolling down the mountain, heading towards them.
They cried out in despair, but in just a few seconds, they were all crushed to death. Only 1 person survived!
Seeing the huge rocks rolling towards him, Tamaochi Norio was also terrified.
He was about to jump down, but his legs were caught by the mud river that suddenly formed beneath him. Then the mud began to flow down the mountain quickly. He quickly made several Hand Seals and performed Water Release: Water Prison Technique.
Soon, a water barrier formed around him.
The next second, a rock rolled onto him. It hit the water barrier and pushed it to the bottom of the mud river. But the water barrier did not break.
Seeing that the rocks were about to stop rolling, Norio breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, the next second, a stone spear appeared at the bottom of the mud river, piercing through it. It quickly penetrated the water barrier.
Norio noticed the spear at the last moment and tried to dodge. Although it still pierced his body, he avoided vital organs.
Renjiro was surprised when he realized the guy was still alive. But he wasn't worried.
"He's just prolonging his own suffering."
Although he barely survived, being stabbed by the spear interrupted his control over the water barrier. The water barrier collapsed, and he was buried in the mud.
Norio gritted his teeth, blood flowing from his mouth, and with great effort against the flow of the mud river, tried to pull the stone spear from his body.
Unfortunately for him, his struggle, courage, and determination to survive would never be known.
The next moment, tiny spikes began to grow on the spear that had pierced him.
This immediately made him stop moving, causing him to scream in pain and spit out a lot of blood.
As he screamed, the mud from the river entered his mouth.
Soon, those small spikes turned into spears, protruding from his body.
His struggle finally ended, and he died, with a dozen stone spears protruding from his body, buried ten meters deep in the mud river.
As Renjiro cleared the rear, Feng Zheng, Hodaka, and Mieko launched an attack on the injured Ninja.
Of the 15 Ninja in the first wave, only 6 were still alive, and only 1 Chunin was still able to fight. They were terrified by their injuries and fled into the forest.
And of the 10 Ninja in the second wave, only 2 jumped high into the air, above the destroyed forest. The remaining 8 Ninja, although not injured, were buried in the forest in ruins.
Hodaka activated his Byakugan and said.
"Those eight Ninja are trapped and will take some time to get out. Let's attack."
In an instant, all three flashed towards the retreating Ninja.
Mieko flashed behind the Chunin who could still fight and tried to stab him with a kunai. However, he turned in time to defend.
He shouted menacingly.
"Even though I'm injured, don't you brats underestimate me!"
However, his thoughts were quite the opposite.
"Just give me a chance! I can rendezvous with the others and escape safely."
