In the face of those dozens of thunderbolts and the terrifying power of divine retribution, Asakawa Kaori's trio's hearts pounded, and their faces turned pale.

"Water Escape, Demon Water Shield."

Suzuki Baihui's face changed dramatically as her hand seals fluctuated, pressing on the back of the White Water Toad. At the same time, the white-spotted skin around the White Water Toad shone brightly.

Buzz~!

A massive white water-patterned light shield emerged from the White Water Toad's body, enveloping the three of them.

Boom!

Dozens of thunderbolts descended simultaneously. The white water-patterned light shield rippled violently, electric serpents slithering through it, and the shield shattered within a few moments.

The remaining thunderous energy mercilessly struck towards Asakawa Kaori's trio.

"Miss Kaori."

Kikuchi Yumi's face turned pale, and she hurriedly stood in front of Asakawa Kaori.

Bam~!

Several bolts of lightning struck Kikuchi Yumi, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backward, crashing heavily into the trunk of an Osmanthus Tree.

"Kikuchi Jonin."

Asakawa Kaori's face turned white as she quickly dashed over to support Kikuchi Yumi.

Suzuki Baihui let out a muffled groan, the water patterns surging through her body dispelling the lightning arcs around her. The White Water Toad, due to its massive size, had borne the brunt of the lightning strikes, leaving faint charred marks on its white skin.

Rumble!

Within the oppressive dark clouds, Thunder Serpents swam, occasionally flashing with bright light and emitting deep thunderous sounds. Clearly, a stronger wave of attacks was brewing.

Qin Yang looked down coldly at Asakawa Kaori's trio, his finger poised to strike again.

"Mr. Qin Yang, please stop, Kaori did not mean to trespass here. It's just that this Mountain Villa is full of life, rich in Spiritual Energy, which attracted Kaori's curiosity. Please forgive her."

Upon seeing this, Asakawa Kaori's face changed as she hurriedly spoke, fearing that the thunder would fall upon them again if she delayed.

"Hmph, just because you're curious you trespass into my Mountain Villa's forbidden ground and even injured my guardians?"

Qin Yang snorted coldly, his expression unchanging as he spoke.

The Spirit Gathering Array in the Osmanthus Forest was the foundation of his cultivation and the prosperity of Feipu Manor, not to be compromised. The Japanese were indeed wolves at heart, seeking to spy on the secrets of his Mountain Villa.

"Mr. Qin Yang, this was Kaori's mistake. She was simply in awe of the beauty of this Mountain Villa. If possible, the Asakawa Clan is willing to offer ample compensation. Could we invite Mr. Qin Yang to Japan to establish a manor as well?"

Asakawa Kaori's eyes flickered quickly as she spoke at a rapid pace.

"You Japanese really are all the same. First, you trespass into my sacred ground, then try to capture me, and when you can't beat me, you start to surrender."

Qin Yang looked coldly at Asakawa Kaori, a sarcastic smirk playing at his lips.

That's just the nature of the Japanese. When you're weaker and holding treasures, they'll want to take a piece of you, but when you're stronger, they'll act as if nothing happened and surrender.

There's no such easy thing in the world, at least not here with Qin Yang.

"Thunder Purgatory, descend!"

Qin Yang looked coldly at Asakawa Kaori's trio, his eyes as icy as his finger once again pointed down without hesitation.

"Miss Kaori, Kikuchi Jonin, quickly, get on!"

Seeing this, Suzuki Baihui urgently called out.

Asakawa Kaori and Kikuchi Yumi both flashed and stood on the back of the White Water Toad.

Boom~!

In the sky, thunderclouds rolled, and thunder roared as dozens of thunderbolts fell once again.

Swish!

Under the pressure of thunder, the White Water Toad's massive eyes filled with fear, its long tongue extended, wrapping around the trunk of an Osmanthus Tree twenty meters ahead, and leaped forward.

This leap dodged part of the thunderbolts, but the remaining thunder still mercilessly targeted the White Water Toad mid-air and the trio on its back.

"Fire Escape, Shield of Celestial Fire!"

Kikuchi Yumi's hands formed complex hand seals, and in front of her, a massive Flaming Shield gathered, adorned with ancient fire demon carvings.

Bam~!

The Thunderbolt Power easily tore through the Flaming Shield, then struck Kikuchi Yumi.

Kikuchi Yumi spat out a large mouthful of blood, flying off the back of the White Water Toad and crashing to the ground. Thunder arcs danced across her body, with her hair and clothes charred black, clearly severely injured.

"Kikuchi Jonin."

Asakawa Kaori's face changed drastically.

"Suzuki-senpai, take Miss Kaori and leave first, please!"

Kikuchi Yumi looked at Suzuki Baihui, then raised her head towards Qin Yang in mid-air, a resolute look flitting through her eyes.

Swish swish!

Kikuchi Yumi's hands crossed, forming a series of hand seals.

"Extreme Ninja Technique, Fire Sacrifice."

Kikuchi Yumi shouted lowly, her body enveloped in flames.

"Kikuchi Jonin, is this...?"

Asakawa Kaori's face changed dramatically.

"Kikuchi is burning her ninja power,"

Suzuki Baihui said, her face grim.

Fire Element Ninjas only burn their ninja power in desperate situations, attempting to fight to the death. Once the ninja power is depleted, they become crippled, unable to ever become a ninja again, the price is exceedingly high. However, not many Fire Element Ninjas can use this technique.

"Come forth, Fire Yasha."

Kikuchi Yumi let out a hoarse shout.

Boom~!

A hideous Fire Yasha, brandishing a Flaming Trident, engulfed in red flames, soared from Kikuchi Yumi's body into the air.

Kikuchi Yumi's body crumbled, her aura feeble.

"Suzuki-senpai, take Kikuchi Jonin, we're leaving."

Seeing this, Asakawa Kaori gritted her teeth and said.

Suzuki Baihui nodded, and the White Water Toad extended its long tongue to wrap Kikuchi Yumi, placing her back on its back, then swiftly darted out of the Osmanthus Forest.

"Trying to escape?"

Qin Yang's eyes were icy cold. Just as he was about to strike again at Asakawa Kaori's trio,

Swish!!

The Fire Yasha, summoned by Kikuchi Yumi's sacrificial ninja power, fixed its grotesque face on Qin Yang, then charged at him, Flaming Trident in hand.

Qin Yang frowned and pointed a finger at the Fire Yasha.

Boom!

From the thunderclouds, dozens of thunderbolts crashed onto the Fire Yasha. The fiery glow around the Fire Yasha dimmed some, yet it still charged toward Qin Yang.

"Disperse!"

Qin Yang's expression turned icy, as his fingertips formed a Spell Seal, sternly shouted.

Bam~!

A thick lightning pillar shot from the clouds, obliterating the Fire Yasha into nothingness.

Having delayed a dozen or so breaths, the White Water Toad, carrying Suzuki Baihui's trio, had already approached the periphery of the Osmanthus Forest, escaping the range of the thunderclouds' cover.

Qin Yang's face darkened as his fingertips formed a Spell Seal, and the amassed thunderclouds in mid-air slowly began to disperse.
