Chapter 1205 Difficulties

Their location. In a blink of an eye, the mysterious ninja appeared in front of them like a ghost with a large number of his men. The mysterious ninja smiled triumphantly and said, "You used the Ninja Stone to save this beast, and that's why I found you. Today, I'm going to take this Ninja Stone!" Shangguan Mo and others quickly protected the Molten Crystal Ape and the Ninja Stone behind them, ready for battle. The battle was about to break out, and the mysterious ninja took the lead, and a fierce ninjutsu attacked everyone. Shangguan Mo used ninjutsu to resist, and the others also joined the battle. For a while, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and ninjutsu was everywhere. Although the Molten Crystal Ape had recovered a little, it was not fully healed yet. It also roared and joined the battle, smashing the enemy with its huge fist. The battle was extremely fierce, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Suddenly, the mysterious ninja seized an opportunity and wanted to break through the line of defense to seize the Ninja Stone. At this critical moment, the elder ninja came up with a plan. He shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your strength and combine your ninjutsu. Perhaps we can repel them!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly adjusted their tactics, combining their respective ninjutsu into a powerful force that blasted towards the mysterious ninja and his companions. Unexpectedly, the mysterious ninja was struck by the force and fell back. Seizing this opportunity, the group quickly evacuated the ninja stone and the Crystal Ape, disappearing into the night. They reached a secluded valley. The Crystal Ape, injured from the recent battle, collapsed to the ground, breathing weakly. Shangguan Mo looked at the ninja stone in his hand and formed an idea. He held the stone close to the Crystal Ape, and it glowed brightly, sending a powerful healing force surging into the ape's body. But the mysterious ninja was not about to give up and soon pursued them again. This time, he brought even more powerful helpers, far superior to his previous subordinates. The mysterious ninja laughed wildly, "You think you can escape? No one can save you today!" Everyone formed their positions again, ready for a new challenge. The older ninja observed his accomplice's ninjutsu, noting that it seemed to use water-related techniques. He whispered to his companions, "Let's use our earth-style ninjutsu to counter his water-style techniques." Everyone nodded, quickly executing earth-style ninjutsu, and building earth walls. Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the Molten Crystal Ape suddenly rose to its feet. Having recovered substantially, it roared and charged at the enemy, joining the others in a fierce battle once again, vowing to protect the precious Ninja Stone. The battle intensified, the mysterious ninja's water-style ninjutsu clashing with the others' earth-style ninjutsu, sending water and dust flying through the valley. The Molten Crystal Ape possessed immense strength, and each punch packed a powerful punch, making it difficult for the enemy to reach him. However, the mysterious ninja's accomplice was cunning, skillfully using water-style ninjutsu to create illusions, distracting the occupants and allowing them to break through the defenses. Just as he was about to seize the Ninja Stone, Shangguan Mo had a sudden inspiration and cast an illusion, trapping his enemy in a phantasmal world. Meanwhile, the elder ninja seized the opportunity, forming hand seals and unleashing a powerful earth dragon technique. A dragon erupted from the ground, sweeping the mysterious ninja and his helpers high into the air. The others pursued them, raining down a barrage of ninjutsu upon the enemy. Gradually, the mysterious ninja and his helpers were overwhelmed with wounds, and ultimately, they fled in disarray. Peace returned to the valley, and the ninjas breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other's wounds and smiling. They knew the journey to protect the Ninja Stone wasn't over, but they were confident in the challenges ahead.
