Chapter 1197 Junior 1

With fierce momentum, it slashed towards the Kirigakure Anbu. Seeing this, the Kirigakure Anbu quickly dispersed and dodged, forming hand seals. "Water Style? Great Waterfall Technique!" The surging water, like a massive wall of water, pressed down on Cang Jing Xuan Ao and Shangguan Mo. Shangguan Mo frowned, "Xuan Ao, break through it!" Cang Jing Xuan Ao swung its tail vertebrae, stirring up a massive wave that collided with the water wall. Then, using the power of the waves, it surged forward, its crystal armor gleaming as it tore a hole in the water wall. The Kirigakure Anbu, unprepared for Cang Jing Xuan Ao's power, panicked for a moment. At this moment, one of the Anbu, with a fierce look in his eyes, drew his detonating tag, ready to make a desperate move. However, Cang Jing Xuan Ao reacted with remarkable speed, swinging its claws and sending a shower of crystals towards the Anbu, accurately knocking the detonating tag out of his hand. Seeing the situation was dire, the other two Anbu exchanged glances and quickly unleashed their water style, transforming into streams and escaping. Shangguan Mo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cangjing Xuan'ao. The system light screen showed that the fusion degree had reached 100%. He knew that he had gained powerful support again.

Just as Shangguan Mo was rejoicing at the 100% fusion, a chilling aura suddenly spread from underground. The ground cracked, and a group of Kirigakure ninja, emitting a strange aura, emerged from the earth, holding specially crafted kunai that shimmered with a faint light. It turned out that the two escaped Anbu had gone to fetch reinforcements.

"Hmph, just in time." Shangguan Mo's eyes were firm as he patted Cang Jing Xuan Ao's back. Cang Jing Xuan Ao roared, and the crystal armor on its body shone brightly. It rushed towards the group of Mist Ninjas, waving its claws. Wherever it went, the ninjas dodged.

Shangguan Mo was not to be outdone. He quickly formed seals with his hands, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball blasted towards the ninjas. The ninjas quickly used water style to resist. For a moment, water and fire intertwined, and the scene was in chaos.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Cang Jing Xuan Ao found the right time and used the crystal cluster to break the ninjas' water shield. Shangguan Mo took the opportunity to rush forward and attack the ninjas with fierce punches and kicks. With the cooperation of Cang Jing Xuan Ao and Shangguan Mo, the Kirigakure ninjas gradually lost and finally fled. Shangguan Mo looked at the enemies in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued his journey with Cang Jing Xuan Ao. However, they did not go far before a huge water curtain suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. A tall figure faintly emerged from the water curtain. It was actually the elite ninja of the Kirigakure Village, Hozuki Huanyue. His eyes were cold, and the beheading sword in his hand exuded a bloodthirsty light. "You think you can leave easily?" Hozuki Huanyue said coldly.

Shangguan Mo's face darkened. He didn't expect that the Hidden Mist Village would send such a powerful master. He took a deep breath and once again cooperated tacitly with Cang Jing Xuan Ao. Cang Jing Xuan Ao released a crystal-cold aura, freezing part of the water curtain, while Shangguan Mo took the opportunity to perform the wind escape technique to blow away the remaining water curtain. Seeing this, Gui Lan Huan Yue swung his beheading sword and slashed at him, the wind of the sword was sharp. Shangguan Mo dodged flexibly and commanded Cang Jing Xuan Ao to attack from the side. Although Gui Lan Huan Yue was strong, he was a little overwhelmed by the combined forces of Shangguan Mo and Cang Jing Xuan Ao. Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a shout came from a distance: "Gu Lan Huan Yue, stop it!" It turned out that the support from Konoha Village had arrived. Gui Lan Huan Yue snorted coldly, put away his weapon, and disappeared into the night. Shangguan Mo looked at his companions who came to support him, and he breathed a sigh of relief and was able to move forward again.
