Chapter 1204 Rescue

"Although we've repelled them this time, that mysterious ninja will surely return," Guan Mo gasped. At that moment, the Molten Crystal Ape suddenly let out a deep roar and dug a small hole in the ground with its claws. Curious, everyone gathered around and discovered a stone emitting a strange glow. An elderly ninja examined it for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the ancient Ninja Stone, said to possess immense power. Could it be that the mysterious ninja is targeting it?" Suddenly, everyone realized the battle was far from over. Just as everyone was discussing how to protect the Ninja Stone, the sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, and a powerful aura filled the air. The mysterious ninja reappeared with even more men, this time emitting even more terrifying chakra than before. He sneered, "Do you think you can stop me forever? Hand over the Ninja Stone, and perhaps I'll leave you with your bodies intact." Shangguan Mo clenched his fists and stood up, his eyes determined. "If you want the Ninja Stone, you'll have to get past us first!" A fiercer battle was about to begin. At the mysterious ninja's command, his men surged forward like a tide. Shangguan Mo and his companions quickly deployed their forces and engaged the enemy in a desperate battle. Amidst the flashing of swords and the splattering of blood, the mysterious ninja seized upon the chaos and lunged directly at the Ancient Ninja Stone. Just as he was about to touch the stone, the Molten Crystal Ape suddenly rushed out, blocking the mysterious ninja with its massive body. With his eyes wide open, the mysterious ninja quickly formed hand seals and launched a powerful ninjutsu at the Molten Crystal Ape. The Molten Crystal Ape roared in pain at the blow, but it remained fiercely guarding the stone.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mo gritted his teeth, concentrated all his chakra, and unleashed his most powerful ninjutsu. A dazzling light flashed, and the mysterious ninja's offensive was temporarily suppressed. At this moment, the older ninja shouted: "Everyone, come together, now is the time!" Everyone worked together to force the mysterious ninja and his men back. The mysterious ninja looked at the Ninja Stone that he had obtained and was gone again, glared at everyone unwillingly, and disappeared into the dark clouds with his men. Shangguan Mo and his men knew that there would be more severe challenges in the future, but in order to protect the ancient Ninja Stone, they would never back down. However, just when everyone thought they could take a breather, the Molten Crystal Ape suddenly trembled and let out a weak whine. It turned out that the mysterious ninja's ninjutsu just now caused it severe internal injuries, and its vitality was rapidly fading. Shangguan Mo's heart tightened, he knew that the Molten Crystal Ape was an important force in protecting the Ninja Stone.

At this moment, the elder ninja suddenly thought: "Perhaps the ancient Ninja Stone has healing powers and can save the Crystal Ape!" Without further consideration, everyone hurriedly brought the Ninja Stone close to the Crystal Ape. A strange light flashed, and the Crystal Ape's wounds began to heal, and its breathing gradually stabilized.

But at the same time, the mysterious ninja actually used the power fluctuations emitted by the ninja stone to locate their position. In the blink of an eye, he came again with a more powerful lineup. This time, the mysterious ninja was followed by several mysterious masters with unfathomable strength. Shangguan Mo and others looked solemn. They understood that the final battle to protect the ancient ninja stone had truly arrived. The mysterious masters spread out in a fan shape and surrounded Shangguan Mo and others. One of the white-haired old men took a step forward and formed seals with his hands. In an instant, sharp stone spikes rose from the ground and rushed straight towards everyone. Shangguan Mo reacted quickly and used ninjutsu to create a water wall to block the attack of the stone spikes.
